As they were thinking about it, they saw Xingguo Gong turn his head to look at them, and said to them kindly: "Since you have the heart to run the Yangzhou branch of Ming Pao, I will ask for the deed of sale for you, and you can handle this matter with peace of mind in the future!" ”

When Li Xiangjun and the others heard this, they were a little grateful.

For them, it is really more difficult to get their deed of sale than to ascend to the sky.

Now they are in their prime, if they are normal, it is absolutely impossible to let them go until the day when they are old and yellow. Even if they meet those eunuchs, don't think about getting their deeds of sale easily, because money alone can't do it.

But now, with a word from Xingguo Gong, they are free!

When they didn't think about it, all of a sudden, they were free.

The mood of Li Xiangjun and others at this moment is absolutely unimaginable to outsiders. Even they themselves can't be described in words.

Of course, for Zhang Mingwei, this is just a trivial matter.

The original purpose of his coming here was actually to see what difficulties they would have if they wanted to set up the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao". Now that the difficulties have been solved, and a lot of time has been delayed, there is no intention of listening to the concert, so he immediately stood up and said to Princess Kunxing: "Let's go, we should go!" ”

When Zhu Yujiao heard that he didn't have any nostalgia for the girls in front of her, she nodded with a smile.

Although Li Xiangjun and others really wanted to keep Xingguo Gong and thank each other for being fine, the gap between the two sides was too far to speak, so they could only send it away.

When he arrived at the door, Zhang Mingwei turned to look at them, and a group of people who followed behind him who didn't know if they were sincere in sending each other, and said to Li Xiangjun and the others: "If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can go to Zhang Huangyan to help you!" ”

In fact, after his appearance here today, no one will dare to come to trouble.

The reason why Zhang Mingwei said this was just to explain it just in case.

When Li Xiangjun and the others heard this, they were naturally very grateful.

Then, under their watch, Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yujiao left and continued to go north to Beijing.

One thing, Zhang Mingwei definitely didn't expect, is that the matter here in Yangzhou spread immediately after the readers dispersed.

The top brands in Fengyue places all over the world, who don't want to be good, want to set up this "Ming Pao" branch, maybe one day in the future, Xingguo Gong will also help them get back the deed of sale.

However, those old bustards have already learned a lesson, how dare they interfere.

Although he didn't dare to interfere, he also thought of a way to deal with it. For example, the bustards paid for the Ming Pao branch first.

Not only them, but people from all over the country know that bidding for the "Ming Pao" will win the favor of Xingguo Gong, so as long as there are people who want to mix with officialdom, even if they are not mixed with officialdom, in order to have such a way to hug Xingguo Gong's thighs, they have all applied for the "Ming Pao" branch.

The momentum of this bid for the establishment of the "Ming Pao" branch is actually a bit similar to the period of Wei Zhongxian in the Tianqi Dynasty.

But of course, there is a big difference.

During the Wei Zhongxian period, various places rushed to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, which was to set up a shrine for Wei Zhongxian;

In this period of Xingguogong, all localities wanted to curry favor with Xingguogong, and they rushed to apply for the establishment of the "Ming Pao" branch.

All of a sudden, the application for the "Ming Pao" branch flew like snowflakes to the "Ming Pao" headquarters in Beijing.

Of course, there is no doubt that the owners of the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao", who have eaten the first soup, have the greatest harvest.

This "Ming Pao" branch matter, in a sense, has a very great impact on the Ming Dynasty.

………………

In late September of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the temperature in the Mongolian steppe, or the Hetao Plain, was already a little low. When the grass and trees are yellow, it is a harsh winter.

Normally, by this time, nomads have to prepare for the winter.

Because once winter comes, people, cattle, sheep and horses, etc., all have to eat, but also to keep warm, etc., if one is not careful, if the snow is too heavy, then the danger is great.

Generally speaking, at this time, it is also the time when the autumn horses are fat on the grassland, and one of the most commonly used means for them is to hit the autumn valley, that is, to go to the customs to plunder.

However, this winter, at least on the part of the Tumut Ministry, there is no such demand.

It's not that they have prepared enough supplies for the winter, but after being swept by the Ming army in Guannai last year, there are not so many people and cattle and sheep, which is equivalent to experiencing a big white disaster.

It was also lost in the grassland, not in the Sekinai. Otherwise, if a city is breached, there will be no way to escape, and the losses will be even greater.

On this day, the left wing of the Tumut Department was in charge of Hanggao, and at the invitation of the right wing of the Tumut Ministry, Gu Luge, they discussed together.

I only heard Guluge say to Hang Gao: "Last year, we suffered heavy losses on both the left and right wings, the worst in all these years, right? ”

As soon as he heard this, Hang Gao felt a pain in his heart, threw the mare's milk wine glass on the table, made a "bang" sound, and then said very angrily: "It's not! Almost every household has suffered heavy losses! ”

After finishing speaking, he paused, and said with a little hatred: "It's a pity, the Qing Emperor has already led the army over, but he turned back halfway." Otherwise, it will definitely be good-looking! ”

"I don't know what the Qing Emperor is doing, what does it mean to turn back halfway?" Gu Luge listened, nodded and agreed, "It's our emperor anyway, we have suffered such heavy losses, it was at his will to provoke Guannai, and the result is just like that, without a word of explanation!" ”

The Tumut Department is far away from Liaodong, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the awe of the two of them for Huang Taiji is obviously not as great as that of the Mongolian tribes in the east. Harassment is said and said, and no one will say anything.

After all, they are not the kind of direct jurisdiction, which is somewhat similar to the Tusi system of the Ming Dynasty. Nominally surrendered to Jianju, the kind that listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement.

When Hang Gao heard this, he also wondered: "It stands to reason that the army has moved, so there is no reason to turn back halfway, right?" Something serious must have happened. ”

Of course, Jianyu would not advertise that Liaodong was attacked by the Ming army, and the Tumut Department was too far away, and the spread of information in this era was too slow, so they did not know the true situation of Liaodong yet.

After talking for a while, Gu Luge seemed to have lost his patience, and said directly to Hang Gao: "We suffered such heavy losses last year, and someone on my side proposed to take advantage of the autumn high horse fat to enter the customs to take revenge, and then immediately run away, what do you think?" ”

When Hang Gao heard this, he was a little surprised, and then he was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that you also have this plan?" ”

When Gu Luge heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "It seems that the hero sees the same thing!" ”

Speaking of this, he said hatefully: "Last year, we were defenseless, so that we were retaliated by the Ming army. But this time, as long as we are prepared, it's a big deal to go to other places for the winter, so that the Ming army can't find it, so we don't have to worry about the Ming army's retaliation! ”

When Hang Gao heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I said, Gu Luge, you are too bold......

When Gu Luge heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and he actually underestimated him?

But before he could speak, he heard Hang Gao continue to say to him: "After we go to Guannei to fight Qiugu, the Ming army will definitely retaliate, right?" This steppe is the steppe of our Mongolians. If they dare to come, we are prepared, so we will have a good fight with them and drag them to death in the grassland. When I went to Kannai to fight Akiya again, wasn't there a lot less of a threat? ”

Upon hearing this, Gulug was really a little surprised, to be honest, he really didn't expect this.

However, if he admits it, it will be tantamount to Hang Gao saying that he is right.

So, he immediately replied, "Ah, I didn't expect you to think of it together, and I thought the same way!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other, immediately laughed, and toasted each other.

After a while, Hang Gao looked at Gu Luge and said seriously: "You called me here, presumably to join forces to enter the customs together, right?" ”

Last year, both tribes suffered heavy losses, so if one side entered the customs, there was no bottom in their hearts.

Gulegg listened, nodded, and acknowledged.

When Hang Gao saw this, he said to Gu Luge again: "It's no problem to join forces, but I just have one request, how about grabbing the women and children to me?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Guluge immediately shook his head and said, "That's not good, women and children, I also lack them here!" ”

The growth of the tribe depends, of course, on the size of the population. After the left and right flanks of the Tumut Department were retaliated against by the Ming army last year, the population was greatly reduced. And this population is going to be eighteen years of growth, so the two of them coincidentally set their sights on the women and children in the pass.

The goal is the same, then there is no way, and the two begin to bargain with each other, as if the woman and the child in the sekichi are already in their pockets.

Speaking of the back, I saw Gu Luge slapping the case and said loudly: "That's good, I'll take the lead here, attack the pass, you just have to sweep the formation." Women and children, I'm the majority, it's always okay? ”

When Hang Gao heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "Haven't you inquired about me?" Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides in the pass, led the troops to Shudi, and now the border pass in the pass is just a lot of infantry troops, so what's so rare to take the lead? ”

As soon as he heard this, Gurug was speechless. However, it must be reluctant to let him give up women and children.

So, after talking nonsense for a long time, the two finally reached an agreement that was acceptable to both parties.

"Come, do it first!" Gurug raised the mare's milk cup and said, "I wish us a lot of success this time!" ”

When Hang Gao heard this, he also raised his mare's milk cup and responded, "I wish us a lot of harvest this time!" ”

However, before they could drink, they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the yurt.
