Chapter 274: The Mongol Imperial Court

♀♀ "This is not bad, I have already been with the Lan shopkeeper's 'handover' generation, when I went to the outside of the gate, I looked at the matter of the racecourse, but I didn't expect it to be done all of a sudden, since you are the brother of the Lan shopkeeper, then I also believe that you still have any requirements and difficulties, and I will solve it for you, whether the Lan shopkeeper is still there with you, or go to the Heyan tribe."

"When I left, the Lan shopkeeper was still there with us, and it is estimated that he should have arrived at the tribe of Heyan by now, and my eldest brother is already looking for a suitable pasture, and when Lord Lan is ready for the goods, I will take the goods out of the customs together."

"Brother Zhang, then I have to ask you to wait for a few days, I still have to prepare the goods, I don't know what kind of grain I need, the salt is also a monopoly of the government, and it will take time to 'get' it, but I have a question I want to ask Brother Zhang."

"If you have something to say, just ask"

"So much grain and silver, how are you going to transport it out of the customs, and how to get the horses in the future" is a big problem, I am not familiar with the border passes, especially after Qi Jiguang went, although this person said that he was a gift to the court officials, a little bit of a feeling, but on the issue of principle, this person is still Gezhouba, and he is even more hateful to foreign races, if you want to take his way, I am afraid it will not work, I remember that the apprentice of the old man Wang seems to be in Qi Jiguang's place, it seems that we must find a way to promote him to the past and become a master or something, so as to facilitate our contact with the outside of the Guan

"Lord Lan, we have discussed this, and now the generals here are not Qi Jiguang's descendants, and Qi Jiguang is a little bit at odds with Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang is helpless against him, because this person used to be a general of Cheng Anhou, and his roots are very hard, he is blind to the 'exchange' of 'Mongolian' Gu, as long as the silver is sent, everything can be done, so it is not a problem to say that the customs is not a problem, the key is how many of you can transport food."

The generals of the border passes of the Ming Dynasty are doing business with foreign countries, I know this, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, as long as the goods prohibited by the silver court can be completely unimpeded, but now I am thinking about making good use of this opportunity to take some of the people and horses of Leiyun Village out of the customs and follow Zhang Yunchuan, they learned equestrianism, this is a great opportunity, those people learn to change a batch after a few times, so that the people of Leiyun Village can learn to ride horses and fight

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'm three hundred people, what do you think, but I have a request."

"If Lord Lan has something, just say it, this relationship between us and the Lan shopkeeper is not an ordinary relationship, there is nothing to avoid."

"Brother Zhang, I want to let the people and horses escorting the goods follow you out, and then don't come back for the time being, let them practice equestrianism with you at the horse farm outside the gate, I don't know if it's okay or not."

Zhang Yunchuan didn't even think about it, so he said: "Lord Lan, this is a trivial matter, there is no problem, three hundred people can be escorted, but we don't have these equipment there, and we also ask Lord Lan to prepare more food, so that five thousand stones are not enough, I don't know how long Lord Lan will let them stay there."

"I'll prepare enough supplies for them to take with me, as for the time, I don't know how long it will take for Brother Zhang to train a qualified cavalryman," I want to train the soldiers of Leiyun Village to be knights who can 'shoot' off their horses and fight, but I don't know how to be qualified, so I want to ask for more information from Zhang Yunchuan."

"It takes at least two years for the Lan people to train a qualified knight"

As soon as I heard that it would take so long, I began to mutter, and it seemed that it was impossible for the soldiers of Leiyun Village to be as skilled in riding and 'shooting' as the 'Meng' ancients, so I had to ask: "Brother Zhang, can you do it in a short time, as long as they can ride a horse skillfully on the horse, as for riding 'shooting', and when they come back to train, it will take too long."

"Time, I think it can help them master simple riding skills in three months, it's no problem, it's just a bit difficult to fight and 'shoot' arrows right away, but you can send a few people over and teach them again, Lord Lan, you see that this is okay."

"It's okay, that's fine, as long as you master the riding skills first, you can come back and practice."

Here, when we were talking, Lao Liu had already prepared the wine and food, everyone sat down, Lao Liu was leaving, and I also left Lao Liu to accompany Zhang Yunchuan until Zhang Yunchuan was drunk, Lao Liu helped Zhang Yunchuan to Chen's house to rest, and asked me again: "How about the young master, how about the master, won't you arrive so soon?"

"There is no such thing as this, it was sent by the master, that is, we were told to prepare things for the master, let him live here for the next few days, but don't let the people in the front yard come in, and don't let him go to the front."

"Okay, young master, I don't know if the housekeeper has arrived?"

"Yes, the housekeeper didn't have any news at all, I don't know if I can connect with the master smoothly, and the time is almost up."

At this time, the royal court of the ancient Tatar tribe of 'Mongolian' is still five or six miles away from the royal court, and on a high slope, two people are standing there, looking at the royal court of the lamplight, this is the gathering place of the Zasaktu Khan, there are more than 50,000 ancient nobles and herdsmen of 'Mongolian' ancient living here, and the two people standing on the high slope are the housekeeper and Liu Jiahe, the protector of the Lan family's forces in the 'Mongolian' ancient relationship

"Liu Daxia, do you say we should go in now, or wait for dawn to go," the housekeeper asked Liu Jiahe, and the housekeeper was very beautiful in the capital, but when he got out of the capital, he was not as good as Liu Jiahe, who was always on the rivers and lakes, so he discussed everything with Liu Jiahe

"Steward Lan, I think we're still in the daytime, and now we can't go in at night, I didn't see a lot of patrolling soldiers, and besides, we won't be 'blind' old saying."

"Okay, just what are we going to do tonight and stay here?"

"Housekeeper, we have been out day and night all the way, why are you not used to getting here," Liu Jiahe said unceremoniously

After the two of them came out all the way, thanks to Liu Jiahe's idea, they went to the gate to rob the two herdsmen's 'Meng' ancient bags, put on the clothes of the 'Mongolian' ancients, and grabbed a few horses, so the speed was also very fast to the 'Mongolian' ancient royal court, the two people because they didn't wash their faces for a long time, and their 'color' was similar to the 'Mongolian' ancients, plus they wore thick sheepskin hats, so the road was also very smooth, and there were no accidents, during the day, they found a place to rest, and at night they went to the royal court according to the direction pointed out by the herdsmen

The two men found a leeward place, tied some horses together, and swept the snow off the ground, and then they ate something, took out an old sheepskin, spread it on the ground, and slept on it

As soon as it was dawn, the two of them got up and cleaned up to see that there was nothing wrong with anything else except that they couldn't speak the ancient saying of 'Meng', so they got up and got on their horses and walked slowly in the direction of the royal court

The layout of the royal court is similar to that of Beijing, but it is very shabby, there is no tall city wall of the capital, only a wooden fence is used to circle it, leaving a few exits, even if it is their royal court, according to the custom of the 'Mongolian' ancients, they move with the season, only this royal court will not move the place, unless it is attacked by the enemy, and it will move when it can't be beaten

The two of them came to the entrance, although there were a few soldiers standing guard there, but they would not check the pedestrians entering and leaving, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, and they thought that they would be in trouble, but they did not expect to go to the city so smoothly

"Liu Daxia, this 'Meng' ancients are not as powerful as the legend, you see, these soldiers have nothing, they are lazy and lazy, far worse than the soldiers guarding the 'gate' of the city in our capital."

"Steward Lan, you can't just look at the surface, these soldiers are suitable for horses, if they get on the horse, they will stand guard like a wild wolf, it is not their strong point, you see that although our Beijing army looks very strong, it is still vulnerable compared to these people."

"It's also heard before that the 'Mongolian' ancients don't want to die when they fight, this is their royal court, and it is too shabby, and there is not even a city wall, which is not as strong as the defense of our small county town."

"Butler" Meng' ancients will not defend, they will only attack, which is like our imperial court will only defend and will not attack, in fact, offense is the best defense, simple defense will only make the soldiers rely on the protection of the city, but also cause our Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers to not have strong field capabilities, if the 'Mongolian' ancients broke through the Great Wall and went deep into the interior, it can be said that they are invincible, no troops can stop them, even if you have the city to protect them, the damage they cause outside the city is still very large, this is the difference between the nomads and our Central Plains." Liu Jiahe talked eloquently while walking

"Liu Daxia, you still know this, it's not simple, I really didn't find out that you know so much about 'Mongolian' Gu"

"My ancestors once followed General Lan 'Yu' out of the customs to kill the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, so to understand the habits and "nature" of the 'Meng' ancients, during the period of the first emperor, the 'Meng' ancients killed in the pass, you should also know that these 'Meng' ancients did not have human 'sex', they have no 'sex', they have no history of their own, they have their own culture, not to mention any benevolence and morality, sons can marry their own mothers as wives, fathers can also take their sons' daughters-in-law' as concubines, they have no courtesy, righteousness and shame, and they don't know what mercy is, but there are also good ones, only a very small number of high-level ' Among the ancient nobles, the people at the bottom are still very simple."

"Liu Daxia, these 'Meng' ancients, why didn't anyone have 'sex', isn't this the same as a beast, a son can marry a mother, if he gives birth to a child, what is he called, father or brother, I really can't imagine it," the housekeeper shook his head as he walked

"What are you doing, you're blind," a loud yell, scaring the housekeeper who was walking and chatting

The housekeeper looked up and saw that he didn't pay attention to the carriage blocking other people's carriages, and quickly apologized: "This uncle is sorry and will leave immediately"

"Listen slowly, your accent is from the Central Plains," the big man shouted, and the housekeeper and Liu Jiahe, who were about to leave, sighed in their hearts, this is troublesome, forgetting that they are speaking Chinese, and it looks like they are going to 'dew' the stuffing
