"It's really beautiful here!"

In the secluded mountains and forests, Yang Xin looked at the boundless green around him, and took a breath of air rich in oxygen and the aroma of pine resin as he spoke.

The Battle of Kaiyuan is over.

In addition to him kicking Huerhan alive, the coalition forces beheaded a total of 1,200 ranks, but their own side also suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, of which more than 1,100 were killed. Just looking at the numbers, it is indeed less than Jiannu, but if you don't count the almost two hundred killed by Yang Xin himself, and the seriously wounded who Jiannu couldn't escape were also cut down, in fact, the number of casualties of the coalition army far exceeded that of Jiannu, this battle should be regarded as a defeat for both sides, and the victory was also a pyrrhic victory, at least the coalition army also paid a heavy price.

At this time, Jiannu's combat effectiveness was really not blown.

Of course, no one cares about casualties, of course Yang Xin doesn't care, the Ming army has only lost less than three hundred, and as for the death of Mongolia and Yehe, it doesn't matter to him, but whether it is the leaders of the Noyan or Yehe tribes, they don't care much about their own casualties, because then Yang Xin gave them a generous gift.

A generous gift that will make them ecstatic......

"Is there really any silver here?"

Jin Taiji said as he looked at the familiar scenery of the mountains and forests around him.

Silver?

There is still a silver mountain buried under the land under his feet where he has lived for a hundred years?

He has been hunting since he was a child, and there is still a silver mine in the mountains and forests that are only a dozen miles away from Yehe City?

If this is the case, then will the Yeh people still need to search for prey every winter in the knee-deep snow and in the mountains and forests infested with fierce beasts, as they did in the past? Do you still need to work so hard to cultivate those barren lands? Do you still need to desperately cut through several feet of ice in the bitter cold to catch fish under the ice in order to survive?

Not at all.

As long as you take the silver to Kaiyuan and go to the grassland herdsmen, you can buy all kinds of grain, cattle and sheep, and the Yehe people will have no worries about food and clothing.

At this moment, it was not only him, but also the leaders of Buyangu, Dergrad, and even all those big families in the entire Yehe tribe, all gathered there and looked at Chen Yujie with nervous eyes, watching him in a ravine washed out by the flood, holding a small hammer and constantly hitting those rocks.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Then he picked up a fist-sized boulder from the river that had just been rushed out.

"This is silver ore?"

Dregler said excitedly.

"It's not,"

Chen Yujie said with a smile.

The Yeh people booed.

"But it's gold ore!"

Then Chen Yujie said with a smile.

"This is silver ore!"

At the same time, Yang Xin stepped on a large rock under his feet and said.

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of hard granite from the ground and smashed it down on the mossy rock, a silver-gray metallic sheen shimmering on the section of the rock as the two rocks shattered at the same time. Chen Yujie, who came over with the accompanying gold ore, immediately struck it with the small hammer in his hand, and then a small piece of ore fell, and then he picked up this thing and held it up in the air, admiring it like a jewel in the sun, and the whole stone was reflecting the luster of the metal under the sunlight.

It looks like an alluring piece of silver.

It's actually more tempting than silver.

This very high silver content of pyroxene ore will have countless reflective surfaces inside after being cracked, and there is no surface oxidation, which looks really brilliant in the sun.

"A penny!"

Chen Yujie weighed his weight and said.

"This stone is a penny?"

A patriarch of the Yeh tribe exclaimed.

"Such a color of ore, a pound out of at least half a penny, this piece of more than two catties, out of a penny of silver is very easy, but this piece should be regarded as the best, other estimates are difficult to achieve this kind of fineness, if it is really this kind of color, you Yehe has to be richer than Emperor Ming." But as long as it can be worth refining, it is not uncommon to have about ten taels per thousand catties, and there are many tens of taels of silver per thousand catties, and here is a whole mountain waiting for you to dig, saying that you have been guarding the silver mountain for more than 100 years."

Chen Yujie said with a smile.

The Yeh people were amazed.

All eyes turned to the mountain forest they had been familiar with since childhood.

"Dig up, go and mobilize the young and strong, cut down the trees and dig up the soil, if this place is really like what Brother Yang said, then the good life of our children and grandchildren will depend on this mountain!"

Kim Tae-gil waved his hand and said.

The Yeh men were in high spirits and returned to the city of Yeh to gather their men.

In fact, there is no need to go back to Yehe City, there is a small amount of land in the valley near here, and the Jurchens also grow crops, but in this kind of place, they can grow one season, and they can't harvest much wheat in one season, but they don't do not farm land, and they also graze, mainly pigs. And this place is only ten miles away from Yehe City in a straight line, and it is approaching the spring wheat harvest season, of course, there will be no shortage of their people, and then the same excited Yehe people came running with tools and began to cut down trees and cut down the soil on the surface in this area designated by Yang Xin.

Actually, you don't have to cut it open.

Because the piece that Yang Xin smashed just now was actually on an exposed mountain rock, which means that this mountain rock is actually very likely to be a silver mine.

Now that the silver mine has been determined, all that remains is how to distribute the treasure.

"You pick, we practice!"

Yang Xin said.

Kim Tae-gil nodded without hesitation.

They don't know smelting at all, so who else can they find if they don't look for Yang Xin smelting.

"In the end, the silver we harvested was divided in half, you need manpower for mining and transportation, and we also need manpower to smelt this thing, not to mention anything else, it takes a lot of manpower to make charcoal alone, and various auxiliary materials have to be added to it when smelting, the whole smelting process is very complicated, and it is not possible to complete it at one time."

Yang Xin continued.

Kim Tae-gil also nodded, five or five points is a reasonable way to distribute.

"In addition, we can't forget the Mongols, my suggestion is that in the end, we will take out one percent of each family, but not directly to them, but I will purchase tea, sugar and the like from the Guannai, and give them to those Noyans, and then give them to the temples in Diaoji Mountain in the future, in short, we are an alliance, whether it is Kaiyuan or Yehecheng, we must rely on the reinforcements of the Mongolian ministries. In the same way, the Mongolian ministries also block the invasion of Horqin and other departments for you, as friends, we must share with them, in the end, you have a silver mountain, let's not talk about it, we can still smelt hundreds of thousands of taels every year, and it is not too much to take out tens of thousands of taels to buy gifts for them. ”

Yang Xin said.

Kim Tae-gil still nodded.

Of course, his mind could understand that once this silver mountain was mined, Yehebu would also become the target of the wild boar skin.

Of course, it was originally a must-win.

It's just that there is still room for peace before there is no silver mountain, and there is no room for peace after there is a silver mountain.

He also understood Yang Xin's purpose for releasing the silver mountain at this time, but it didn't matter to him, because it was impossible for him to give in to the wild boar skin, this silver mountain was to help him stabilize the interior, and there were people in the Yehe Department who were swaying, but this silver mountain completely stabilized them.

It also stabilized his rule.

But Yehebe could not keep the silver mountain alone.

He must rely on the support of the Mongol tribes, then he can't own this silver mine, he must give the Mongols a piece of the pie, but it is better to share it with the Mongols than with the wild boar skin, in fact, the wild boar skin can't share it with him, and the wild boar skin will only monopolize the benefits. As long as Yehebe and the Mongols live at present, the silver mine is to maintain everything for them, but the wild boar skin is ambitious, and the silver mine he gets will not be used to make his subjects have food and clothing, he will only use it to support his foreign war expansion. This is not only Jin Taiji, but also those people under his command know this, so even if there is internal vacillation, they have changed their position at this time, and if they surrender the wild boar skin, they will lose the silver mountain.

"But I need firearms!"

Kim Tae-gil said.

He will definitely have to face a big attack from the boar skin next.

"The musket is of little use to you, the hard bow is no worse than the musket, all you need is artillery, but the artillery is really strict in the imperial court, but I will still find a way, in short, I will help you get a cannon, you can rest assured." If I can't do it, I'll go to His Majesty the Emperor, if I can persuade him to agree to provide you with the Fur Machine, it will be easy to do it, anyway, the wild boar skin also has those Korean coats in his hands, and they will definitely carry cannons in their next attack, His Majesty the Emperor is still very satisfied with you, His Majesty the Emperor ......"

Yang Xin stopped suddenly.

Then he looked at the autumn leaves in the mountains and forests, and suddenly he realized that he seemed to be having too much fun and forgot something very important.

"What day is it?"

He anxiously turned his head and asked Chen Yujie.

"Fourteen!"

Chen Yujie said.

"Fourteen in what month?"

Yang Xin asked.

"August 14."

Chen Yujie said.

"What's the latest news you've ever received from the capital?"

Yang Xin asked.

"A month ago, right? In fact, since I came to Kaiyuan, I have not received a report from the Di, our place is lonely, and there are Jiannu scouts wandering in the middle, it is estimated that no one will send it here, the nearest Di newspaper I saw is still in Niuzhuang, and then we have been going north along the Liao River, and we have not sent it again. ”

Chen Yujie said.

It's not surprising that they were literally thrown into the most remote corners of the war zone.

"I've got it up to you, I must return at once!"

Yang Xin said.

After speaking, he turned around without hesitation, directly got on the horse and hugged Jin Taiji, and then urged the horse to gallop westward, leaving Jin Taiji and Chen Yujie looking at each other.

August 14th.

If there is no accident, Zhu Changluo has already succeeded to the throne.

If nothing else, the Ming Emperor, who has just officially ascended the throne, will fully open the Holy Lord Mingjun mode in the minds of Donglin Qunxian, and then he will die on the first day of the next month before their cheers fall, and then the Ming Dynasty will usher in the third emperor of the year.

The Red Pill case plus the palace transfer case!

Almost missed a big deal!
