Outside, the fighting is in full swing, but Ningxia seems to have been far away from the war, and recruitment notices can be seen everywhere in the city, and construction is everywhere.

It's so lively!

Yinuo Yaxing, Yinuo Qianzhuang, Xiaoboye College, Yinuo Education, Fangyuan Xinxing, Fengchi Group have settled in Ningxia.

It's that familiar BGM again!

As long as they see this scene and hear this voice, everyone knows that Guo Dan is coming.

Guo Dan's routine is actually very simple, no matter what, let the people have something to do first, and a group of people idle on the street all day long have nothing to do, there will always be problems, and there is no meaning.

"Advisor Guo, Mr. Dong is here."

A brocade guard entered the house and reported to Guo Danyu.

"It's coming."

Guo Dan immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

As soon as I came to the city gate, I saw a group of Ming troops marching, and the leader of the troops was an old general about fifty years old.

This person's name is Dong Yiyuan, who has been idle at home since he was impeached before, and was sent by Wanli to serve as the chief soldier of Ningxia.

Because Guo Dan is not involved in military and politics, this is a tacit understanding between them and the emperor and businessmen.

Dong Ping took over temporarily, but now that Dong Ping is in charge of the entire Jinyi Guard, it is impossible to send him again, and he is very busy.

In fact, when Guo Dan came, Wanli had already secretly ordered Dong Yiyuan to be on standby in Yansui, and it can be seen that Wanli did a very good job this time, and the reason why he chose Dong Yiyuan was because he was idle at home before.

This time, he really didn't want to use officials from the DPRK and China.

"In Xia Guo Dan, I saw Dong Zongbing."

Guo Dan hugged his fists and saluted.

Dong Yiyuan hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back, "I have heard of Guo Consultant Daming for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." ”

He has really heard of the name for a long time, and before he came, he knew very well that Ningxia had been contracted by Guo Dan, and in the future, the supply of grain, grass and armaments for the Ningxia army would be controlled by Guo Dan, and if he offended him, he might have to go home and farm.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity to turn around!

The two just exchanged pleasantries a little, after all, they were not very familiar with each other, so Guo Dan invited Dong Yiyuan to enter the city.

"I wonder how the battle is going now?"

When Dong Yiyuan came to the big tent, he immediately asked.

Guo smiled lightly: "It's over." ”

"Knot... It's over? ”

Dong Yiyuan immediately looked stunned and said: "But when I came, I heard that there were still wars in various places. ”

This hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff.

What Dong Yiyuan learned about the battle situation was that the officers and soldiers began to defend and attack, and more than 20 cities had been recovered, but many cities were still under the control of the rebels.

Guo Dan said: "I have already offered a reward for the wanted Jiyun and other traitors, and at the same time pardon the crimes of the rest, if I am not mistaken, a large number of rebels will surrender to us soon." ”

Dong Yiyuan was stunned.

How else can it be done?

As everyone knows, for Guo Dan, this is just a transaction.

He sent Tu Wenxiu to lead troops to attack, and at the same time sent people to spread contracting panic in various prefectures and prefectures, inducing local prefectures to send troops, hoping to exert maximum pressure on the rebels.

And the ultimate goal is actually to surrender, not to kill them all.

Others are afraid that he will contract to his own territory, and he is also afraid that the soldiers of various state capitals will come to Ningxia.

Therefore, when the rebels were losing and retreating, he had already quietly sent people to persuade those rebels to surrender, and on the other hand, he offered a reward for the wanted descendants of Jiyun and other worshippers.

Although the outcome is not yet known, he is confident in it.

Because he represents himself, he is not a person from the government, where the government is extremely vicious, beating the water dogs, and he quietly waving bread in the back.

He believed that most of the rebels were not so loyal to Bibai that they could die for him.

As soon as his surrender order was issued, it was a sign that the war was over.

Guo Dan smiled slightly: "General Dong soldiers came at the right time, after all, I don't know how to govern the army, and this still requires General Dong soldiers to integrate those rebels." ”

Dong Yiyuan rushed here in a hurry, originally thinking that he could stretch his stiff muscles and bones and fight a few battles, but who knew that he was just here to clean up the mess, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely, nodded and said, "I know." ”

Guo Dan seemed to see what Dong Yiyuan was thinking, so he said: "However, General Dong has to integrate our Ningxia army as soon as possible, because we may soon send troops outside the fortress to teach the Tuman, Huoluochi and other departments to behave." ”

Dong Yiyuan was shocked again, "I haven't received the holy decree to send troops to the outside world." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Because this is only a part of the Ningxia campaign, as far as I know, Huoluochi, Tuban and other departments often harass Ningxia, robbing the trade caravans, and previously planned to unite with Bibai, and I will open a mutual trade market here in the future, in order to ensure our trade, we must beat them, and at the same time to deter the Tatar tribes, don't come to harass Ningxia again, otherwise, I will teach them how to be a living person." ”

Dong Yiyuan not only looked at Guo Dan again, but felt that you were just a baby in your twenties, do you understand war? To put it so easily, the grassland is opened by your family, and he said that he would fight, and he said very tactfully: "Consultant Guo, war is not child's play...... ”

"I never take money for child's play."

Guo interrupted him with a light smile, and continued: "A large number of firearms will be sent here soon, and I will help General Dong to form a powerful firearms army in Ningxia, and we will also fight jointly with the Tumut Department at that time." ”

Dong Yiyuan was shocked: "Cooperate with the Tatars? "I also added in my heart, fight the Tatars.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Because I am mainly trading with the Tumut Ministry here, then it is the responsibility of both of us to maintain the mutual trade market in Ningxia, not our side, and they must send troops." ”

In fact, the Tatar side, like the Ming Dynasty, was also divided into two factions, one faction insisted on fighting against the Ming Dynasty, this faction was dominated by the Tuman, Luohuochi and other departments, and the other faction was to pursue peaceful coexistence with the Ming Dynasty and conduct commerce, and this faction was headed by the Tumut Department.

Guo Dan has always insisted on trading with Mongolia.

Then the fight against the barbarians and the falling fire is the common will of both sides.

Dong Yiyuan pondered for a while and asked, "If we defeat Tuban and Luohuochi, who will their territory belong to?" ”

Guo said lightly: "Of course, it is the Ministry of Guitu Mote." ”

Dong Yiyuan doubted: "Will this raise tigers?" ”

He knew that the Tumut Department was already a very powerful existence, and if he helped them take down the Tuban and Luohuochi, it would be a behemoth.

Guo smiled lightly: "Giants raising tigers is just a kind of fun, there is no trouble, and tigers will not be stupid enough to bite giants." ”

"Giants?"

Dong Yiyuan looked at Guo Dan again.

You're bragging.

Guo Dan laughed and said: "Before I came here alone, many people used the same tone and said the same thing, they portrayed the Bibai father and son as a demon, and regarded me as a weak chicken, and even some people have already bought a coffin for me and selected a cemetery, but the result is that Bibai and the son have become my subordinates." ”

Dong Yiyuan was immediately speechless.

He learned before that Guo Dan was directly capturing his father and son, and he was also dumbfounded!

Guo Dan arched his hand again: "The Ningxia Army will ask General Dong to entrust it." ”

Dong Yiyuan just hugged his fists and saluted, because he didn't know what to say.

Guo Dan also did what he said, as soon as Dong Yiyuan arrived, he threw away all the military, political and military affairs to Dong Yiyuan, and if this kind of thing happened, he would no longer have to bother him.

on the pier.

I saw a large number of dock workers unloading boxes of tea from the ship.

"General, here is tea worth 100,000 taels."

Guo Dan said to Tai Mu'er.

Tai Mu'er was full of joy, but said, "You are too anxious." ”

Guo Dan said: "I have always paid attention to efficiency in trading, and before the end of next year, I will deliver the remaining 100,000 taels of silk cloth and armaments worth 100,000 taels to you." ”

Asking someone to help, it comes at a cost.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Guo Dan prepared a ransom of 300,000 taels for himself, but at the same time, he promised that as long as the Tumut Ministry helped him take Ningxia, then he would take out 300,000 taels of materials as a gift of gratitude to the Tumut Ministry.

Tai Mu'er was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Cooperating with local tyrants, it feels different.

So far, he hasn't done anything, he mainly lured Tu Wenxiu and deterred the Tuban Department, he was still a little reluctant to go, how embarrassed I am, and took the initiative to ask for troops to help Guo Dan quell the chaos.

But for Guo Dan, he also made a lot of money.

He calculated carefully, if you fight this battle, if you don't have a million taels, you don't even think about it, and these million taels do not include the lost productivity, and this only costs 300,000 taels, which is not too profitable.

In fact, there are not 300,000 taels, because the armaments given are all eliminated by the Ming army, mainly bows and crossbows, after all, the Ming army in Weihui Mansion has been updated to bird guns and artillery, and the bows and crossbows are only rusty when they are placed there, so why not use them to do this favor.

Everyone was very happy.

Of course, these 300,000 taels are just a gift of thanks, and the Tatars did not help Guo Dan for this generous gift, but their main purpose was to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was indeed a little strong, and always had a very reserved attitude towards trade with the Mongols, and some emperors just refused to agree, but the fat house was quite open, as long as there was money to be made, anything could be done.

For fat houses, the most painful thing is that there is no money.

Previously, the fat house had decreed that trade with the Tatars would gradually be opened.

This time, Ningxia is completely open to the outside world, and the two sides have also signed a series of mutual trade agreements.

One of them is very important.

It is a promise insurance to settle in the grassland.

And this is also a very, very important reason why the Tumut Ministry fully supports Guo Dan, because the Mongols are not as resilient to disasters as the Han people, and in the event of a disaster, food supply is a big problem.

Yinuo Insurance usually collects wool, leather, and livestock, but it loses all grain.

Guo Dan promised to build a large granary in Ningxia Huihui to support the Tumut Ministry.

For Guo Dan, this is also a sure deal, if you Tatars don't have anything to eat, they will definitely come to rob me, this righteousness can't be eaten as food, in this case, I might as well get an insurance for you first.

Don't come to rob it then, my brother will compensate you directly.

But this is only secondary, once Yinuo Insurance settles in the grassland, then he can use this to expand his power on the grassland, so as to help Fei Zhai become the chairman of the grassland.

It's a one-size-fits-all effort.
