Chapter 125: The Majesty of the Green Dragon Glaive
Obadetsin left satisfied.
Yang Xin's fleet continued northward, and soon every evening when the ships stopped for the night, herdsmen began to come to trade, exchanging their livestock for various supplies transported on board.
Actually, it's mainly food.
In recent years, the climate of the grassland has been quietly changing due to the arrival of the Xiaoice Age, and the severe cold every winter has been intensifying, and the mortality rate of herders and livestock has gradually begun to rise.
As a result, undernourishment is also increasing.
The harvest of the last battle of Kaiyuan only allowed them to survive the previous winter, and if they did not stock up on enough food before the next winter came, then they would inevitably starve to death by winter. It is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to exchange livestock for food, because these animals may catch the disease and die at any time, but it is safest to keep the grain there. This is also the season when they have the highest number of livestock, and they can exchange some of their livestock for food for the winter.
It's not just the people who fry the flowers that will come soon.
To the north of the Liao River are dozens of noyans of the entire Inner Khalkha Five Divisions.
All pastoralists need trade.
Originally, they either went through the Jin merchants who entered the grassland, or they organized themselves to the passes of the mutual market, the former had difficulty transporting the heavy but low value-added grain, and the mutual market had to be their own to these specific points, and Yang Xin's fleet avoided these defects. He took with him nearly 100 shallow-class river boats, each loaded with dozens of tons of cargo, like the traders who drove into the village in trucks, and although there was no port for herdsmen on horseback......
It is impossible for these river vessels to have a draft that exceeds the height of horseback.
Directly stop the boat in the shallow water, those herdsmen rode on horseback, if they got on the boat in the past, they would have killed people and robbed things, but with Yang Tongzhi in charge, they could only come to trade.
As for the cattle, sheep and horses harvested by Yang Xin in the transaction between the two sides, they followed the shore, which was Yang Xin's, and those herdsmen did not dare to rob it. It was nothing more than hiring a group of herdsmen to drive it, which was actually not a hire, it was sent by Oba Daiqing, who brought back a large number of goods as a gift from Yang Xin to his father, and then left three hundred cavalry for Yang Xin to drive livestock. They drove this herd, which was growing day by day, and followed Yang Xin's fleet to Kaiyuan first, and then caught up with the empty ships that had been unloaded and transported back to the Sancha River.
The horses were then sold to Xiong Tingbi.
He was carrying out his plan of 180,000 troops and 90,000 horses to level Liaodong.
So he'll open it up.
Yang Xin, on the other hand, would drive the cattle into the customs and deliver them to his soldiers.
As for the sheep, it was left to the brothers stationed in Kaiyuan to raise and eat, in fact, a large part of the materials he sold were the military rations of these people, but in Yang Xin's opinion, it was obviously better to eat rice and noodles than to gnaw on roast lamb legs.
As his fleet slowly moved along the Liao River, even some nomadic areas were a little farther away, his leader led a large group of herdsmen, driving herds like border passes and markets, and came to conduct centralized trading.
Everybody knows each other anyway.
Or it can also be said that they are all genuinely afraid and even in awe of Yang Xin, his Green Dragon Glaive is a sign of unimpeded access to this grassland, robbery is impossible to rob, and the Green Dragon Glaive Knife standing on the bow of the ship will dispel their thoughts in an instant.
They all respect strength.
No matter who it is.
Whether it is Zai Sai or Nuan Rabbit, Zhong Nen or Ang An, they all show their strength and respect for this Qinglong Glaive Knife, no one thinks about robbery anymore, they all know what the consequences will be if they do that, but they have all seen how Yang Xin entered Kaiyuan. If this guy is provoked, and one day he runs to their pastoral area in a bad mood, and wanders like a wild wolf to see one and kill one another, then these Noyan people are confident that they will not be able to stop them in any way.
Yang Xin's combat effectiveness was without any pressure to single out a few hundred cavalry.
If such a person is deliberately playing guerrilla, they really can't bear it if they need to disperse the nomadic herds.
Those who have a city to live in can not be afraid of him, but the nomadic ones really can't bear it, they are originally scattered across the vast grassland, and if there are more, several families will get together, even if these Nuoyan usually don't have many people around. What resistance did Yang Xin take to raid them? It is also impossible for them to keep their subordinates together, because their grazing must be dispersed, and if they do not disperse, they will starve to death without Yang Xin killing them.
In short, you can't provoke this monster.
And fried flowers have also issued an order as the leader of the five alliances, this fleet is protected by him, whoever dares to loot is disrespectful to him, and the very respected Buddha beside him also claimed that he was going to Lao Miwan to accept General Yang's contribution to the Buddha, General Yang needs everyone's respect, and General Yang's goods also need to be protected by everyone.
In short, no one is allowed to rob these ships.
Not only are the five departments of the Inner Khalkha not allowed, but if the other departments dare to come, the five departments of the Inner Khalkha will also unite to drive them out, especially the nearest Korqin department, they must keep an eye on it, and if they dare to cross the line, they will be beaten.
And it's not just this batch of ships.
In the future, all ships transporting materials to Kaiyuan are not allowed to rob as long as there is a Qinglong Yanyue Knife erected in front of them.
So in this way, the fleet led by the Qinglong Glaive Knife continued along the Liao River while trading with the herdsmen, and finally reached the end point with the herds on the shore half a month later.
Old Miwan.
"Yesterday, there were Jiannu cavalry entering Guangshun Pass!"
Zhao Shujiao said with a solemn face.
Yang Xin and Chen Yujie looked at each other and showed a hint of a smile.
"Do you know anything?"
Zhao Shujiao said suspiciously.
"It's nothing, our business has caused some people to be dissatisfied, they sent Zhu Shichang in the Sancha River to give us a dismount, and then Zhu Shichang's head was inserted into the mud by the river!"
Chen Yujie said.
"Plug?"
Zhao Shujiao was stunned for a while.
Obviously, the term is used here too unexpectedly.
"Day!"
He let out an exclamation.
"Don't worry, I have the Holy Decree here!"
Yang Xin said.
"Then it's nothing, our brothers are stationed in Kaiyuan alone, this is to act as a shield for the entire Liaodong, and I, Zhao Shujiao, am not from Liaodong, why should I work hard to protect these families in Liaodong? To be a man is to talk about conscience, isn't it to divide them with some money? These guys have been fishing for more than 200 years, so we can't just come over and drink soup? That's too much to say, if you dare to lead Kou, you will fight, who is afraid that the wild boar skin will not succeed! ”
Zhao Shujiao immediately said indignantly.
"How can you be sure they're luring?"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"Brother Yang, you don't know much about the gameplay of these families in the border towns, they have been in contact with these Huluna for hundreds of years, they will be enemies when they need to be enemies, and they will be friends when they need to be friends, in short, they are all for silver. When you need to show your merit to the court, you will go out to attack, cut some heads and come back to make the emperor happy, and if you need to ask the court for money and food, you will go to discuss with Hu Lu, they will knock on the gate and attack to scare the court, so the money and grain of the court will come.
Even the Hu Lu who detained the customs can follow with a piece of the pie.
What if the court sent someone they didn't like to come over and be an official?
That's easy!
Quietly went out to find some Hulu, told them the whereabouts of this man, and gave them some silver, so that when this man went out one day, he was accidentally attacked by Hulu and shot into a hedgehog.
All of them.
Zhu Shichang's family has been in Liaodong for more than 200 years, and he has been the hereditary commander of the Dingliao avant-garde for more than 200 years. That's the real ghost, this time you bullied him so hard, and he can't move you, what else can you do if you don't ask for help from the boar skin? ”
Zhao Shujiao said.
Obviously, their Jingyuwei family has not done this less.
In the Ming Dynasty, the hereditary generals of the border towns have basically been gentrified, and a set of interdependent special relationships have long been formed between them and Hulu.
Li Chengliang is just a master.
But in fact, all these border town families play like this, they are not a good place, and it is difficult to make money like the mainland gentry, so it is essential to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the Hulu, and it is essential to raise and play with the Kou. Similarly, there is no one who knows these things better than those from this kind of family, so Yang Xinyi said that Zhao Shujiao, a guy who was born in the hereditary Jingyuwei command family, immediately understood what would happen.
But Yang Xin's trade was in partnership with him.
Zhao Shujiao brought his domestic slaves to Liaodong, of course, not to give free sacrifice.
He is a northwesterner who came to the northeast to fight, of course, he also wants to make some benefits, and the Liaodong family doesn't even want to give up this little benefit, so it's ......
That's too ignorant!
"No matter what, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and we will wait if the wild boar skin comes!"
Zhao Shujiao then said.
With Yang Xin here, their confidence is incomparably inflated.
"Obadei is here!"
Chen Yujie, who was holding a telescope, said.
Yang Xin and the others hurriedly turned their heads to look at the opposite bank, a large number of Mongolian cavalry were coming, and it was not only Oba Daiqing and his younger brother Nanuk who appeared in it, but also Erdegeyi and other Bahraini Noyans, and the five Inner Khalkha Departments were in the south of the Fried Flower Department and the Bahrain Department, and the two departments added up to twenty Noyans. And the three departments of Zalut, Wuban, and Bayott add up to twenty-four noyan in the north, which is roughly the vast grassland from modern Fuxin to Siping, and they just cut off the wild boar skin and the Horqin department.
"Chief soldier, Zai Sai and Zhong Nen led people to ask for entry!"
At the same time, an officer galloped to report it.
The Guan he was talking about was Xin'an Guan.
Not far from the north, the northern departments enter the pass of the eastern border wall of Liaodong.
"With me here, don't worry, just let them come!"
Yang Xin said.
The officer hurried back to Xin'anguan.
"Dregler is here too, who's next to him?"
Zhao Shujiao looked at the other cavalry coming from the direction of Kaiyuan and said.
"His cousin Buyangu is very good, he gives Yang a face, let's also have a conference!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
