"In Xiahara, it is a Fuyuwei person, and the head of the family is Bahadarhan (note: known as Warm Rabbit) Baylor of the Uqiye Department, and he and his subordinates are stationed in the area of the Fan River on weekdays."

"Fanhe? It's not on the side of Tielingwei, but how do I remember that the Mongols of Fuyuwei were near the Fuyu River (note: now the Wuyuer River, near Qiqihar). ”

"This is the old yellow calendar, Jiajing three years of the headquarters of the herdsmen to avoid the war, has been to the south, now are in Shenyang, Tieling line stationed in the pastoral, Yilu (note: between Shenyang, Tieling) left to the most."

This Mongolian pearl guest is straightforward, Wang Xingping asked and answered with him, and without saying a few words, he asked the details of this group of people clearly, and he didn't have to bother talking. In fact, Wang Xingping naturally knew about the matter of the Inner Khalkha Duoyan Sanwei going south, he was just cautious and deliberately made a tentative speech. But this one didn't tell the truth, the Mongolian tribes went south, whether it was to avoid chaos or fight the grass valley, Wang Xingping naturally knew that relying on force to force the Ming court to open the city, in fact, the Mongols did not do much worse than Jianzhou.

However, fortunately, the man led by this man spoke well, and there was no obstacle to communicating with each other.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, from the Halawen Mountains (note: Daxinganling) to Heilongjiang, a large number of Mongolian tribes were active in the vast area bordering the Jurchens, among which the largest ones were the Wuliang Ha Division, the Weng Niu Special Division, the Zhara Yier Department and the Wuqiye Special Department mentioned by Fangcai Hara, which also belonged to the five Inner Khalkha tribes of Mongolia.

Bahadarhan is the current leader of the Uziyat tribe.

In the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Duoyanwei, Tainingwei and Fuyuwei were divided into the lands of Wuliangha, Wengniute and Wuqiyet, which were Duoyan Sanwei. At first, the Sanwei Yi family swayed several times between the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty, but in the end it became a major help to Cheng Zujing. After Xuande, the three Wei departments began to go south by water and grass, and now, the distribution has been very different from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. The Taining Wei tribes are from Jinzhou and Yizhou to Guangningwei to Liaohe; The Fuyuwei tribes where Hala is located are distributed in a vast area from Huangni to Shenyang, Tieling to Kaiyuan.

The intelligence department had already explained these situations to Fu Xiaofei, how could Wang Xingping not know.

But from the standpoint of the Mongols themselves, this history has a different interpretation.

In that year, Dayan Khan (note: Batu Mengke, 1473 ~ 1517, known as the little prince, the fifteenth grandson of Genghis Khan) built 60,000 households, Khalkha 10,000 households were one of the 30,000 households on the left wing, and the son of Dayan Khan, who was in charge of Khalkha Wanhu, Gelieshan Zhitaiji (note: the antiphon of the Chinese prince) moved west to Outer Khalkha, and Nalibula Taiji moved south to Inner Khalkha. The third son, Uban, was the leader of the Uziyat tribe, and Bahadarhan was the eldest son of the Uziyat, and after the death of the Uban, he inherited the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

The lamb meat is roasted on the charcoal fire and is smeared with the unique aroma of fat on the tail of the lamb, which makes people's throats unbearable and their hearts unbearable.

In a fairly clean restaurant room in the Dongning Acropolis, Wang Xingping, Fu Xiaofei and the Mongolian pearl guests led by him were sitting in a circle, and the others were arranged to sit at two tables outside the private room.

I don't know if the Mongolians deliberately avoid their companions, but Wang Xingping and Fu Xiaofei just don't want Zhang Guoji and Cheng Xiangwen to know too much, after all, although Zhang Guoji is old, he has not yet joined the gang, and Cheng Xiangwen is just an outsider.

And in Hara's hand, at this moment, he was holding a pearl the size of a dragon's eye with a brocade papa, which was full of seven points.

"This is the treasure that the Venerable Driver brings?" Wang Xingping's eyes were ancient and waveless, so that the man led by the replacement of Hara couldn't figure out the depth.

"This is exactly what it is."

"How much silver?" Wang Xing was not here, and asked calmly.

Hara was also refreshed, and stretched out his index finger, "One hundred taels." ”

Fu Xiaofei was a little surprised when he heard this, "This price is fair, why didn't you succeed in running two or three houses?" ”

Dongzhu is a thing, the price of one cent is more than doubled, and the size of seven points is even more difficult to find, no matter what, a hundred taels of silver is not expensive. If such a one is sent to Jingshi, it will be three or four times more than the head, and the previous shopkeepers should not be so blind.

"No money." Who knew that Hara immediately interrupted Fu Xiaofei's thoughts.

Fu Xiaofei looked the man up and down, and said, "What do you want if you don't want silver?" ”

"Iron pot...... An iron pot worth one hundred taels. "Hara cut the railway.

Fu Xiaofei said in his heart, since the beginning of this year, the Mongolian tribes have suffered a great famine due to a major disaster, and these people do not exchange food but want an iron pot to be fresh.

Wang Xingping seemed to think of something, "As long as it's iron, it's okay, right?" ”

He secretly calculated in his heart that for one hundred taels of silver, five or six catties of iron pots can be bought for nearly a hundred, and if it is cheaper to replace it with ordinary iron, it can have nearly a thousand catties, of course, there must be a premise - to be able to buy.

Especially in places like Liaodong, smelting already relies on the mainland, coupled with the sudden rise of the military in Jianzhou, iron is a controlled material in the army, where it is said that you can buy it. The Mongols have never bought iron pots for stir-frying, but for refining weapons and horse harnesses, but Wang Xingping still decided to make a test and then take a look.

Hearing this, Hara's eyes lit up, "As long as it is ironware, it is naturally okay, the price is easy to say, if this bead is not enough, you can add more." ”

Wang Xingping thought for a while and said, "There really is no iron. ”

Seeing that the other party immediately showed disappointment, he smiled again: "There is some nitrate." ”

"Do you have sulfur?" Hara confirmed as if he had misheard.

Wang Xingping once again affirmed his judgment, and at the same time took a look at the strength of the Mongolian tribes, knowing that the sulfur was still willing to buy, and it would not be used to smoke fleas for his cattle and sheep, indicating that these Mongolians also had some firearms in their hands.

Thinking of this, he was patient and said, "There are some, it is more than enough to exchange your beads, but I still have one condition." ”

This did not deceive the man, when he came, Fu Xiaofei did transport some more sulfur, not much, mainly left it to Wang Xingping in case of emergency, because of the investigation of the military department, they also had the courage to secretly bring some firearms, and they did not go through careful investigation along the way.

"On what terms?" Hara didn't know the details of Wang Xingping and Fu Xiaofei, so he asked himself.

Seeing the man's eager words, Wang Xingping secretly said that he had a plan.

"You want iron and sulfur to make weapons, can you tell me what your purpose is?"

When Wang Xingping said this, Hara suddenly hesitated.

Wang Xingping said: "We and other businessmen are talking about a useless and unprofitable businessman, but this iron sulfite is not trivial, and it has a lot to do with it, otherwise why would you find a few and fail to do it, not to mention that we are all outsiders, so we have to be careful." ”

In just one sentence, Wang Xingping revealed a lot of information, one is that we are willing to do this illegal business, you naturally don't have to worry, and the other is 'We are all outsiders, you must not be pressured'.

It seemed that Nahala had finally remembered to distinguish the accent of Wang Xingping and others, and it took a while to confirm it.

"I don't know how much the two proprietors can provide."

"You don't seem to have said what you want to do yet."

Well, since he really wanted to trade, Hara seemed to let go of the mustard in his heart, and he didn't think about it for too long before he opened his mouth.

"Actually, it doesn't matter much, our Fuyuwei departments have always relied on the salt and iron tea cloth in the pass, but now the north is not peaceful, and the clan wants to find a stable place and prepare more."

"Is it more capital to surrender to Dongyu?"

This sentence has no reason, but it is loud.

Fortunately, this Hara is a bold one, and he was not bluffed, but raised his voice, "Joke, when will we see the face of Jianzhou in the twenty-two battalions of Inner Khalkha, just be prepared, how much nitrate can the two proprietors give?"

"One hundred taels, seven hundred and fifty pounds of saltpeter, and one hundred pounds of sulfur."

Wang Xing said calmly, even the ratio has been done for you, as for the charcoal, you will never buy it from me again. He wasn't worried that Harala's master would really surrender to Houjin, after all, in the most accurate information, the Mongolian tribes did not buy the newly rising master of Jianzhou, and even compared to it, the Mongols did not feel that the Jurchens were a threat compared to the Ming Dynasty, after all, they had been fighting for so many years, and they knew each other's details better, and even many of the people at the bottom of the Mongolian and Jurchen were in-laws of each other.

And what is the difference between who votes and who doesn't, the Senate is far away, and with all the things he saw after leaving the customs, he really doesn't think that the Han people in Liaodong can have any concept of a country and a nation, and the Han people are like this, let alone raze people. Otherwise, how could forts like Fushun and Tieling be easily breached by Nurhachi? It was not the traitors who opened the city, although most of the traitors were subdued, but the Han people did not see much resistance. Looking back now, at least if Liaoyang is also besieged, I am afraid that there will be many Jurchens and Mongols in Dongning Weizhong who are willing to open the door and lead the way, and the same thing may not be impossible for the Han people to do.

The other party didn't seem to pay attention to Wang Xingping's thoughts at all, and only said: "It's more expensive." ”

Hara is not without knowledge, he said in his heart that the sulfur in Japan is only fifteen wen a catty, which is still calculated as freight, although saltpeter is more expensive but it is fifty wen, Wang Xingping gave a lot of discount.

But Wang Xingping didn't care, "If you can find a cheaper one, I will calculate it according to the price, besides, you have to get these people in total." ”

Nearly 1,000 catties of sulfur, at least two smaller cars, it is not easy for four Mongolians to transport all the way back to the north in this cold winter, and any more will be a bit eye-catching.

"Deal." Hara was also resolute, and did not ramble any further, I am afraid that he also knew that it would be useless.

But Wang Xingping still didn't give up, "What did you mean when you said that the store should not go north?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Jianzhou wants to fight Shenyang in leap February."

"Huh? How do you know? I thought it was a confidential matter, but I didn't expect the other party to hide it unashamedly, but this made Wang Xingping deeply puzzled, could it be that the Mongolian tribes had really invested in Houjin, otherwise how did they know about such secrets? But on the contrary, if these people really communicate with Houjin, how can they easily leak it.

Hara never let people think about it, and said: "A few days ago, we went to Nurhachi's house to trade and listened to the merchants of Jianzhou. ”

Wang Xingping immediately understood, but he still couldn't help but ask more: "So do you really want to buy iron sulfur to join Shun Jianzhou?" ”

"How could it be, although Nurhachi said that he had the title of Dragon and Tiger General in the early years, when did our Mongolian tribes look up to him."

This is the same as Wang Xingping knows, the poorer the relatives, the more they don't look at each other, but it is Daming, who wears shoes, who is passive everywhere, and the battle of Salhu is really scared.

Fu Xiaofei on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and interjected: "Then who are you?" ”

Hara is still as straightforward, "Our head of the family said that if the people of Jianzhou conquer Shenyang City, we will go to copy their back road to make a fortune, and grab money and food." ”

Thinking clearly, Wang Xingping couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, and faintly felt that there was a crow calling and flying in front of his forehead.

After listening to Hara's plan, he could only say that it was no wonder that the Mongols ended up in that way.

Between the former power and the rising power, they don't think about how to stand in line, they actually want to die if they want to get over it, it's really like reincarnating Poland. But this is a wake-up call for Wang Xingping, isn't he going to Shenyang next, maybe this force can help a little, this is probably the intention of him to subconsciously stop this group of people, and only now has he realized it.

He asked again: "Then what if Jiannu fails to take Shenyang?" ”

"There are more than one or two Jianzhou in Shenyang City, and the guard is also a scheming one, Nurhachi has always been cunning, and the city defense has not been repaired, where is there a reason that it cannot be defeated."

Wang Xingping sighed lightly, it seems that this Liaodong defense is really a leaky wall, but in this way, he will go north to Shenyang earlier, after all, he is just here to inspect the military, and it is too far away to reach out his hand at all, so he can only collect some intelligence, and by the way, see if he can fish in troubled waters and get some benefits.

In addition, he heard that the Sichuan soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers were not far from Shenyang, and he wanted to get acquainted.

But he still had one more person to see before he went north.

If you want to open up some situation in southern Liaoning, this person's identity experience is just right, two days ago when he passed Anshan Station, he came to visit, but unfortunately the person went out to visit friends at that time and was not at home, he wanted to meet before going north, and many things may fall on this person.

Thinking of seeing the man, he exchanged glasses with the hala, hoping to get more information out of his mouth.
