Chapter III. The sword asked Beiyan 238.The step is big
The Huang family took advantage of the warm spring breeze of the peace talks between the two norths to sit back on the table of the medicinal materials industry! Don't look at this Huang Jing's dress and style, he looks like a smooth-tempered eunuch; But when it came to the moment of life and death, the ruthlessness that he suddenly burst out of scared all his friends!
At that time, he pledged all the shops, land, and house contracts under the name of the Huang family, and even a set of Hui-style ancestral houses of his own family, all of which were pledged in Huinan Qianzhuang; And a large amount of silver pledged with these things was also used in the big gathering before the closure of the mountain in the winter of Youbei last year......
Di Ting was expelled from Youbei Third Road by Shen Gui, and it was also the time for his Huang family to show his strength! Huang Jing deeply knows that this is an excellent business opportunity, and it is the last ray of life for his Nankang Huang family! If you can fight to the death and take the opportunity to monopolize the output of medicinal materials in Youbei, even if it is only for a few years, then the golden sign of "Medicinal Material Yellow" will no longer be threatened by Di Ting; But if it fails......
In fact, there is no loss if it fails, it is nothing more than the destruction of the Huang family a few years in advance......
From Shen Gui's point of view, he is very much in favor of and very appreciative of Huang Jing's desperate behavior; And the reason why he asked Shen Gui for help today was precisely because the people and horses they sent to the East Customs to purchase medicinal materials encountered a not too big, but fatal trouble on the way back to their hometown.
The twenty carts full of precious medicinal materials they sent back to Nankang have been blocked in the East Customs for more than half a month! According to the secret letter sent back to Nankang by Huang Yuan, the young owner who went with the team, it said: Now the entire Donghai Customs is closed to the city gate, and no one is allowed to pass! In other words, although their dart team can return to the big city on Youbei Third Road for rest, they can't cross the East Customs and step into the territory of Beiyan! As for when the East Customs will be reopened, there is no definite statement on both sides for the time being......
It is true that the East Customs is a trade buffer zone between the two norths, but after all, it is a strategic point that is not open to the public! Although the two norths are now in the honeymoon period, there should not be a rekindle of war in the short term, but after all, above the heads of these two families, there is still a Mobei grassland with plundering merchants as the main source of income!
Therefore, the closure of the East Customs is also a reasonable and frequent act of vigilance, and it is not worth making a fuss; Just ask a merchant who sells goods and ask, as long as it is a person who runs the northern route, who has not been stranded in the East Customs for a few days? And even among these traders. There is also a joke speculation: Those northern Yankees must be ruthless, and in order to take care of the business of their inns and warehouses, they will be martial law once every three days and five days!
However, this time, the blockade and closure of the East Customs obviously do not have the optimistic statement of three or five days! Because inside the Mobei grassland, there was really a big mess!
Last winter was a bitter winter that I had never seen before; The blood of those steppe warriors was frozen out of ice slag by the heavy snow; Moreover, the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland have frozen to death and frostbite; The entire Mobei grassland has also fallen into a catastrophe, and even the co-owner of the Mobei grassland, King Bormu Khan, has also contracted a serious illness in this unprecedented winter.
Fortunately, Yan Qinghong, the Xingping Emperor of Youbei Third Road, has half of Mobei's blood flowing in his body; And his maternal uncle, whom he has never met, helped him many times openly and secretly when he was not on the throne, and his nephew and uncle also formed a deep affection in the air.
In the face of this cold disaster, Yan Qinghong, who had just ascended the throne, assigned Fu Yi, the nearest governor of Zhongshan Road, to personally transport a large number of disaster relief food and materials to Yunzhong City; It almost exhausted the country's financial and material resources to barely alleviate the danger of exterminating the Mobei grassland brothers!
To this day, most of the witch doctors and goddesses of the entire shamanic religion are still stranded in Mobei under the leadership of the great shaman He Wendao, treating the devotees who were affected by the disaster and helping them rebuild their homes.
Although the severe cold and natural disasters are terrible, the ability of human beings to survive and resist disasters is also extremely tenacious. With the full help of the Youbei brothers, these disaster-stricken herdsmen in Mobei have gradually returned to their normal life trajectory; However, it is a pity that King Bormu Khan fell ill when the spring flowers were blooming and the ice and snow were melting.
King Bormu Khan had a lifetime of horses, and when he was young, he had the reputation of "the first warrior under the sun", so his physical fitness has always been very strong; And after the severe cold hit last year, he only suffered a little bit of wind chill; Get a good night's sleep, drink a few more bowls of hot milk tea, and you'll be fine! However, this respectable and admirable grassland co-master, whose health had just improved, immediately led his troops to the front line of the disaster to fight against the severe cold and natural disasters with his people.
The cold passed, but Bormu Khan was like a frostbitten pear, and the temperature had just risen, and it immediately began to rot from the inside out!
Rao is the great shaman He Wendao, who is proficient in almost all the ancient secret medicine classics of shamanism; However, including the shamanism in Mobei, there are no earth spirit veins like Lin Siwei, the Holy Hand of Rejuvenation, and they are powerless to resist the reincarnation of heaven and the laws of nature.
Three days, only three days later, this strange man who has been galloping on horseback in the Gobi Grassland since he was a child, and Bormu, a grassland man who is a master of the art of war and horsemanship, passed away......
Although it is inevitable that the husband will not have a virtuous wife and a son who is not filial, after all, King Bormu Khan is a rare hero in the world, and the seven sons he left behind before his death are all dragons and phoenixes among people! When he rode horses to fight during his lifetime, he became a brave warrior who could take charge of himself! Whether it is the ability of these seven little khans to step down immediately, or the ability to control and control the clansmen, no one will be inferior to anyone else! It seems that this Bormu Khan is not only a wise and brave strategist, but also a rare educator!
However, the bad is worse than his outstanding educational achievements!
The grassland men, unlike those of the Youbei Sanlu or the Northern Yan Dynasty, are not obsessed with the way of bloodline inheritance. Because in the teachings of shamanism, it is believed that the king of the world is only a spiritual light given by the gods; Whoever God gives this spiritual light to is a possible accident, and it will not be assigned to a certain person or family! Since it's a matter of luck, isn't it who it hits on the head?
And shamanism itself is polytheistic, following the basic theory of animism and considering itself the guardian of nature! Such a group of people would never try to change the so-called "barbaric law of the jungle"! The Mobei people, who grew up immersed in this doctrine, have no such etiquette and religious constraints in their minds as order, respect and inferiority, and the establishment of long and virtuous.
Now that the old emperor of Mobei, Bormu Khan, has returned to the embrace of Immortal Heaven; So among the little Han kings, who will inherit the name of the Great Khan?
The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, so the way to choose the successor becomes much simpler: seven people fight!
So, on the third day after He Wendao held a cremation ceremony for the old Han king, the entire Mobei grassland instantly turned into a pot of hot porridge! The seven young Khan kings who were both civil and military were both red and miaozheng, each pulled up a big banner and took the lead in tearing it up.
Seeing that these seven young masters were fighting, the leaders of the small tribes around them saw it, and their minds began to move! Fortunately, the old Khan King fell ill very suddenly, and his throat was very fast, and he couldn't leave a word at all! In this way, it also gives the leaders of these small clans a great opportunity to participate in the war!
So the first major thing that these people did together was to secretly assassinate the great shaman of the Mobei grassland, Albugu, through various conspiracy methods! After that, they poured a basin of dirty water from the assassination of the Pope's leader on the seven khans who were beating lively!
In fact, their handling of this matter is not very thorough, and there are so many doubts and omissions that there is no need to look carefully for them; However, for the Mobei grassland, which has become a pot of hot porridge, he can't even care about calming down and investigating the case carefully! Under the crowd and the three of them became tigers, it was not the seven of them, but the seven of them.
And the seven parties involved were also ecstatic about this sudden murder; They immediately used this basin of dirty water as a saber to wave at their siblings, and hurriedly took over the responsibility and staged a drama of beating drums and passing flowers!
But what will this matter look like in the eyes of ordinary grassland people?
The great shaman of Albugu is the mother of all the steppe people! Now that my mother has been brutally murdered, the murderer is among the seven of you fratricidal beasts, and whoever wins the final victory will certainly not be supported and loved by the herdsmen and warriors!
However, for He Wendao, the great shaman of Youbei Third Road, the cold disaster in the Mobei grassland has already passed, and now the great shaman of Albugu has been assassinated again, which shows that someone deliberately did it and wanted to take advantage of the fire! He is just a great shaman on the three roads of Youbei, and after the cold disaster has passed, he should have led the crowd back to his homeland in Youbei; It's just that he has always been a little relieved that the shamanic believers in Mobei have been delayed, so he has been delaying the time to return to his hometown! Now that Albugu is dead, the situation of his own group has become precarious......
As a result, the news that the Mobei grassland had fallen into a civil war spread to the three roads of Youbei with the return of the shaman disaster relief team......
Whenever there is a fight between two neighbors and pots and pans flying all over the yard, everyone's first reaction is to close the windows and doors to ensure that their homes will not be affected by the war; What's more, the fight in the Mobei grassland is not just as simple as "two people quarreling"; As a common small treasury between the two norths, the East Customs is naturally the object of key protection!
The so-called fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond! The suspension of business between the two norths is not yet important; But the Huang Jiabang team bought the capital of the top ten cars of precious medicinal materials, but it was pledged from the Huinan bank......
It's about interest!
