Chapter 841: The Purpose of the Fire Sifting
Bamur saw that he had shocked several of his colleagues, and a look of pride flashed in his eyes. When they intercepted Su Mo and his party a few years ago, they were attacked by Su Mo and Meng Jian.
Later, he was frightened away by the wolves of the wolf king sun, which was a great shame for the fire sieve department, which was almost an undefeated myth, and everyone was angry.
However, this time they came to Daming, as Bamur said, not to find a venue. On the contrary, it was to urge the Ming side to speed up the matters in the covenant, so that the two sides could start the wool trade as soon as possible.
You know, there are only two times of the year when sheep are sheared on the grassland, that is, in May and June, and then in September and October. Except for these two periods, the climate and the physical strength of the sheep are not suitable.
Now that it's the end of June, it's obvious that the turn of spring and summer can't catch up. This is the way things are in the world, when there was no such thought before, the wool was thrown away, and no one would have any special feelings. Haven't all the prairies been like this for thousands of years?
But now that someone suddenly told them that the wool they had thrown away as garbage could be exchanged for a large amount of money and materials, everyone could not be calm.
According to the price promised by Su Mo at the beginning, seeing that a lot of silver money was lost in vain, Dayan's eyes turned blue in distress.
But according to the time when the two parties signed the contract and Su Mo's itinerary, Dayan also knew that there was no way to do it.
However, at the turn of spring and summer, I can't catch up, but isn't there still the one in September and October? As long as you move quickly, you can make a transaction. Once it really does what Su Mo promised, this year's winter on the grassland will be greatly improved compared to previous years.
That's not just about money, it's about the lives of thousands of people. In the winter of the grassland every year, many people have died of cold and hunger. That's why every year at the end of autumn, the Prairie Riders flock to the edges. There is no way, there is a lack of food and clothing on the grassland, and in order to survive, they can only come and rob it. Only by grabbing enough supplies can you keep yourself alive.
But war is dead! In addition to the aristocracy surviving, they also fought because of greater ambition and extravagance, and who would be willing to play with the ordinary herdsmen on the premise that they could get enough supplies for the winter through peaceful trade?
It can be said that Su Mo's poisonous plan, before it was launched, had already relied on the spread of the news alone, and it had already gone to the morale of the grassland people first. At least half of the grassland herders are no longer willing to take the risk of raiding after hearing the news. They want to get what they need safely from trade.
Dayan Khan didn't know this, but even if he did, he couldn't. This is Yang Mou, he can only watch the original tiger wolf, and gradually lose his sharp claws.
He hadn't tried to control the news, but the damn thief was too cunning. At the time of the alliance, he not only announced the news in public, so that he could not cover it up, but also continued to spread the news everywhere in the following days, so that he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood.
But okay, just put up with it for the time being. At the moment, for Dayan Khan, the biggest enemy is not the Ming Dynasty, but Yismayin, who has hid in the west and wants to make a comeback. And wait, wait for the solution of Yismayin's rebellion and unification of the desert, it is a big deal to tear up the covenant again, and go back to solve this trouble.
And by taking advantage of this gap, it is just time to accumulate strength and recuperate. If you don't suffer from the loss of the left and right, then why not do it? As for whether this will cause the grassland to sink completely...... What are you kidding, that's impossible.
Rao is no matter how wise and wise he is, but limited by the limitations of the times, he will not believe in the theory of "sheep eating people" at all. Even if someone said it in front of him, it would only be regarded by him as a worrisome joke.
In this way, in view of the interests and internal pressure of voices, there is a matter of fire screening coming to urge this time.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the fire sieve department had a grudge in his heart because of the previous battle, and deliberately delayed without explaining his intention at the beginning. On the contrary, he put on a posture of a big war invasion, and the defenders of the Daming border pass were frightened three times a day, like a bird with a frightened bow.
This made the fire sieve department feel very happy, and finally redeemed some of the humiliating injuries it had suffered before. also let the glass heart of the fire sieve be soothed.
But I didn't think that Bamur's words would tear open the scar of the past, so that the joy that everyone had just tasted was suddenly all gone.
The fire sieve snorted heavily, threw the golden cup in his hand on the table, stood up without saying a word, and strode away without looking back.
In the tent, Bamur, who had just suppressed his colleagues, was dumbfounded. Gu Lunai and the others looked at each other, and they all saw a smile from the bottom of each other's eyes.
"Bamur, you're going to be unlucky, you're upsetting Tabu. Ha, are you the only smart man? What a hero Tabu Sang is, how can he not know this? He did this, naturally there is a reason for doing this, and how can you fool understand? Hahaha.......
Among the generals, another commander called Tuyan pointed at Bamur and laughed. The ridicule in his words was not disguised at all, causing the other two Gu Lunai and Shi Litan to breathe a sigh of relief and laugh at the same time.
Yes, who is Huo Sieve Khan, who is a few heroes on the prairie, how can he not understand the stakes involved? If you do this, then there must be a reason to do so. This Bamur fool thinks he is smart, and now it's good, and finally provoked the anger of the Great Khan, and now he is still proud.
This guy has repeatedly behaved as if he is ahead of them, and the brothers have long been jealous. Now that he has a chance, how can he not fight the water dog desperately. There was a burst of laughter and laughter in the big tent.
Bamur's face was flushed, and his complexion was uncertain. But he was secretly suspicious in his heart, isn't it true that as a few of them said, he has his own considerations? Thinking about it like this, his bowels of regret are going to be green.
So does the fire sieve really have its own considerations, as his subordinates think? The answer is, yes!
At this moment, he drove his horse alone to a low hill, looking at the faintly visible border wall in front of him, his eyes flickering.
Like Dayan Khan, as an unborn hero on the steppes, he naturally saw the drawbacks of this so-called alliance. But unlike Dayan Khan, he was even more arrogant and self-conscious, and was quite unimpressed by Dayan Khan's cowardly concessions.
He advocates force more, and what he obtains through peaceful trade is complete bullshit! The descendants of the blue wolf and the white deer will use their swords to grab and kill whatever they want, and this is the tradition of the Tatars.
The southerners are as cowardly as sheep, and they were born to be enslaved and plundered. As for the fact that they occupy the vast and rich Central Plains, and their population is several times more than that of the Tatars, hehe, so what? Just like the cattle and sheep raised by the herdsmen, the sheep are sheep, and no matter how many of them are and how rich and rich the forage they eat, will they eventually become food for the wolves?
Not to mention, these stupid cattle and sheep themselves are not united, and they are fighting and plotting with each other all the time.
He still remembered the information that the Right Tent Khan had revealed to him before he intercepted and killed the Ming people that day. In the Ming court, there was a big man who had a secret agreement with them. That big man is noble and mysterious, and he is an existence under one person and above ten thousand......
Look, these are the southerners! They are greedy, selfish, and shameless in betraying their fellow citizens. If there are many such peoples, what is there to fear?
If he follows his wishes, he can just gather all the tribes and crush the past directly. Those cowardly southerners will only tremble and prostrate at the feet of the great wolf god people when the time comes, just like Genghis Khan in the past, who will dominate the world and submit all races.
As for the western side of the country, the cowardly and cowardly coward, why should he have such scruples? It only takes a detachment of teachers to completely deter him from acting rashly. At that time, as long as you conquer the southerners, you can destroy them with a backhand with the power of a great victory.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his eyes showed unwillingness. Yes, his ideas are completely different from those of Dayan Khan, no, it cannot be said to be different, but the order of backwards and the importance of the goals are different.
Dayan Khan is amazingly talented and is an unborn hero on the steppe. For Dayan Khan, the fire sieve is not disrespectful at all, but extremely respectful. Even in his mind, Dayan Khan is almost comparable to the existence of Tore, Ogedei, Möngke and other famous Mongol heroes in the past.
Therefore, although he has his own opinions, this does not affect his support for Dayan Khan and obey the will of Khan.
As happened this time, although he was dissatisfied with Dayan Khan's decision, he still came. As for deliberately not revealing the news, but showing off his might at the gate, it is not a simple vent.
War is the continuation of politics and serves politics. Although the fire sieve has not heard this wise saying of later generations, he has his own unique views on war.
Since Dayan Khan has decided the general direction, how can he strive for the greatest benefits for his own side as much as possible is the scope of his specific general's consideration.
Deterring and subduing them by force, and only then can they gain greater benefits! This is the real purpose of his actions.
Now it seems that the effect is obvious. The cubs of the Southern Dynasty were afraid, even if they were pressed to such a point, they would only tremble and curl up on the gate, and they didn't even dare to go out of the city to try.
The chief officer on the other side of the closing, oh, by the way, it's a noble earl of the Ming Dynasty. Hmm, it seems to be called Chen Rui, that sheep-like waste. Presumably, I can't even sleep well these days.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a proud and smug look. But as soon as this smile appeared, suddenly a smiling face appeared in his inexplicable heart, and his happy mood suddenly dissipated.
That guy......
His gaze was raised, and he crossed the walls of the city in the distance, and fell in a direction that was thousands of miles away. The unyielding roar, the strange methods, the collapsing ice peaks, and the continuous howls of wolves......
