Gao Junshan returned to Pingliang, first made up for the silver owed to He Renlong by the Ming Court, carved out a few comfortable houses for Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, and then introduced Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong to Cai Zhishan.

Cao Wenzhao and Cai Zhishan have a close relationship, and they both worked under Yuan Chonghuan, so the atmosphere when they met was very harmonious.

After Gao Junshan settled Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong in a good way, he hurriedly returned to his house and summoned Huang Yunfa at home.

"King Qin, please spare the villain's life." Huang Yunfa's first sentence asked Gao Junshan for the life and death card.

Gao Jun Mountain is like a five-mile cloud mist: "Brother Jinfu, what are you guilty of?" ”

"King Qin spared the villain first, and then the villain said."

"Paralysis, this profiteer!" Gao Junshan scolded in his heart, but his face was expressionless, it seemed that he would not say anything if he didn't spare his life. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Say, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

"Jiya is not my friend's daughter."

"Whose daughter is it?"

Huang Yunfa looked at Gao Junshan with his eyes, for fear that his face would change, and said cautiously: "She is the daughter of the Mongolian Great Khan." ”

"Lin Dan Khan's daughter?" Gao Junshan is still a little bit of history, and the last Great Khan of Mongolia was Lin Dan Khan.

"Lin Dan Khan?"

Gao Junshan changed his words and said: "It's the daughter of the sweaty Hudun Rabbit, right?" ”

Inserting Khan Hudun Rabbit is the transliteration abbreviation of the Han people at that time to the Hutu Ketu Khan of the Chahar Department, which is the Lin Dan Khan mentioned in later generations.

"Exactly."

Gao Junshan asked: "So what?" ”

"Aren't you surprised?" Huang Yunfa asked rhetorically with a wink.

"Well," Gao Junshan nodded, "It's a bit of an accident." ”

Huang Yunfa asked tentatively, "You're not angry?" ”

Gao Junshan wondered: "Why should I be angry? ”

Huang Yunfa breathed a long sigh of relief: "King Qin is magnanimous, and Yunfa admires it so much. ”

Gao Junshan said: "If you are complimented, you will say a few words." You say you have something important to do with me, what is it? ”

Here's how it happened:

Since Lin Dan Khan inherited the throne, he sent troops to subdue the right-wing Ordos, Karaqin, Tumut and other departments, and formed an alliance with the Khalkha Department of Chotu Khan, and his prestige was greatly enhanced, and the area under his jurisdiction stretched from Liaodong in the east to Gansu in the west.

However, only a year later, the situation began to turn around.

Doyan Uliangha's Subtai, Karaqin's Dalaitaiji, Tumut and Bushitu Khan, Erdos's Errenqin Jinong, and Yongshebu, Asuti, Abaga, Khalkha and other tribes combined to form a large army of 100,000 and defeated Lin Dan Khan at Zhaocheng in Tumut.

The battle of Zhaocheng consumed more than 40,000 elite troops of Lin Dan Khan, which greatly weakened Lin Dan Khan's strength.

His old enemy Huang Taiji repeatedly conquered him, and Lin Dan Khan was defeated again and again, and was forced to withdraw from the Xilamulun River valley and was defeated to defend the city of Guihua.

Huang Yunfa explained this, picked up the water cup and took a sip, secretly glanced at Gao Junshan with his eyes, and saw that he did not mean to be angry because of his deception, so he continued with confidence: "Last month, Hudun Rabbit suffered from smallpox and went to Qinghai to recuperate, and his eldest son Ezhe supported the situation on his behalf. Now they are facing the threat of starvation, and they are eager to get your help from King Qin. ”

Gao Junshan asked bluntly: "What benefit do I have?" ”

Huang Yunfa's eyes lit up: "As long as King Qin, you can support rice, Ezhe promises to preside over the wedding for you and Ji Ya." ”

"That's it?" Gao Junshan asked lukewarmly.

"And five thousand war horses."

Gao Junshan looked at Huang Yunfa's outstretched five fingers, and said half-jokingly: "How many benefits have you received from Ezhe?" ”

A joke scared this Shanxi businessman a lot, the water cup in his hand was uneven, and he said in a hurried tone: "Heaven and earth can be learned, Yunfa is dedicated to the sake of King Qin, and he is absolutely selfless." ”

Gao Junshan laughed: "Jinfu, I'm just joking." ”

Although it was a joke, Huang Yunfa didn't dare to listen to it as a joke, as a businessman, who is not mercenary? Although he only got the convenience of trading in Ezhe, and did not actually make a profit, Gao Junshan's half-truth joke made this Shanxi tycoon break out in a cold sweat, and secretly told himself that he must be cautious in doing things for Gao Junshan in the future.

Huang Yunfa quickly calmed down, he leaned closer to Gao Junshan's side, and whispered, "You married their princess, and according to their customs, you can still get the princess's assets." ”

"Assets?"

Huang Yunfa saw that Gao Junshan still didn't understand, so he explained to him in detail.

Lin Dan Khan divided his tribe as an asset and divided it among his sons and daughters when they became adults. When Jiya was born, he already had assets of 1,000 accounts, which could be used as a dowry. The chieftains of the steppes also collected taxes and recruited soldiers by household. They stipulated that each household must have one soldier, and one out of every three soldiers was a regular soldier and two were auxiliary soldiers, who plundered and threwd grass to serve the regular soldiers.

In other words, Jiya would have a Mongol cavalry of nearly 300 men as his dowry.

Gao Junshan was very interested in Jiya's assets, and if he mastered a Mongol army, it would be of great help to conquer their people in the future. Therefore, he fully discussed the details of this aid with Huang Yunfa, and Huang Yunfa acted as a matchmaker, took the dowry, and went to the camp of Da Mo Ezhe.

Next, Gao Junshan put his wedding with Ji Ya as the first priority. The carrying hall of King Han's Mansion is now a conference hall, and Gao Junshan is discussing the big wedding with several military advisors.

"King Qin, the big wedding is in a hurry." I heard that Gao Junshan was going to the desert to marry Ji Ya, and the first person to stand up against it was Tian Wenju, "Now my righteous army is thriving, all families and horses are in the momentum of development, and your father Gao Chuang Wang is in full swing, you want to take advantage of this situation, you should take the development of our strength as the first priority." ”

Liu Hongru also said: "What Gongren (Tian Wenju) said is extremely true, now that all families and horses are gathered under the command of King Chuang, we should also obey King Chuang's orders." King Qin, even if you want to marry Ji Ya, you don't need to go to a barbaric place like the desert, we will do the happy event in the army, what else can he do with us? ”

Gao Junshan knew that the two who could go to the end were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, if he followed Gao Yingxiang closely, it would be a dead end, and the ending would be to accompany Gao Yingxiang to be killed. Of course, he couldn't divulge the heavens in front of these military advisors, so he explained in an outline: "This wedding is of great significance, you should take a long-term view, I control a Mongol tribe today, and there will be many fewer obstacles to ruling them in the future." ”

Bailisha still knows something about Gao Junshan, he is different from Tian Wenju and Liu Hongru, one of them is Wang Jiayin's military advisor, and the other is Shen Yikui's military advisor, due to the limitations of history, it is inevitable that he can only see the shadow of the void light in front of him. And Bailisha has no experience of them, and his understanding of the righteous army comes directly from Gao Junshan, and Gao Junshan's personal charm also deeply attracts him, he knows that Gao Junshan has great ambitions, which is also an important reason why he wholeheartedly follows Gao Junshan.

Therefore, at this moment, he stood on the side of Gao Junshan, supported Gao Junshan's idea, and marched into the desert, although he did not know very well the meaning of marching into the desert.

Gao Junshan proposed to hold a big wedding with Ji Ya, not to be discussed by several military advisors, but to be carried out by them. Although Tian Wenju and Liu Hongru raised opposing opinions, once they received Gao Junshan's order, they were still happy to accept it.

He made a specific division of labor for the three military divisions: Bailisha and Tian Wen stayed in Pingliang to assist Cai Zhishan in defending the city; Liu Hongru went west out of the desert with him.

As soon as he finished explaining, he saw Cai Zhishan leading Sun Yuanhua to see Gao Junshan in a hurry.

"King Qin, Huo Lao has developed a 'swarm of bees', and it is very powerful!" Cai Zhishan said happily when he saw Gao Junshan.

Sun Yuanhua is a thin old man in his early fifties, whose name is Chuyang and whose name is Huodong, and he is respectfully called "Huo Lao" in the righteous army. When Gao Junshan heard that he had developed a 'swarm of bees', he was very happy, and got up and took Sun Yuanhua's hand and said, "Huo Lao, you have finally succeeded in developing it!" Congratulations! ”

Sun Yuanhua waved his hand modestly: "No, no, no." This 'swarm of bees' was not invented by old decay, it was put into actual combat as early as the Battle of Baigou River two hundred years ago, but it has been lost for a long time. Without the technical support of King Qin, it will be difficult for the old to copy the artifact of 'a swarm of bees' for another twenty years. ”

Gao Junshan smiled heartily: "Huo Lao is too modest, who doesn't know that you are a master of firearms?" All I'm doing is some advice. ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Don't wait for King Qin, your suggestions are the essence of the finishing touch!" ”

Because Sun Yuanhua was so excited, he shook his head when he spoke, and his gray goatee was curled, especially when he said the essence of the finishing touch, his fingers were also making circle movements, which was very funny and cute, causing everyone to laugh.

After laughing, Gao Junshan proposed to go to Sun Yuanhua to see the "swarm of bees" he copied, and several military advisors couldn't wait, so Gao Junshan ordered to prepare the car.

Gao Junshan's carriage stopped at the door of the craftsman's workshop, and the group got out of the carriage and walked straight inside. Compared with Huanxian, the craftsman workshop here is much more magnificent, not only there are many workers, the site is large, but even the gate of the craftsman workshop is much wider than that of Huanxian.

Keep going inside, the first thing you can see is the arrow-making workshop, the arrow-making workshop is new, there is no arrow-making workshop in Huanxian County, bundles of arrows are stacked in the simple grass shed, a slip past, full of five grass sheds.

Seeing all this in front of him, Gao Junshan's face became gloomy, he stopped in front of a grass shed, and said to Cai Zhishan, who was in charge of the craftsman's workshop, with a blushing face: "Bolan, the craftsman's workshop needs to be rectified!" Behold, how can these arrows be put in a straw hut? If there is a fire, won't it all burn down? ”

"It's me who didn't think it through." Cai Zhishan hurriedly reviewed, "I didn't think of the fire, so I immediately asked people to move them to a safe place." ”

Fast horses do not need to be whipped, and drums do not need heavy hammers. Gao Junshan didn't pursue it any further, and continued to move forward.

Walking to the arrow workshop, more than 50 craftsmen are busy, pulling the bellows, striking iron, quenching, polishing, and polishing, and the whole workshop is in full swing. Gao Junshan carefully picked up an iron arrow cluster, which was still a little hot, and he watched it carefully, his head was sharp and the bottom was plump, and his blade was thin and sharp, with grooves on the side, in the shape of a diamond, glowing with blue light. At this time, a craftsman came to greet him, he saw a busy scene, appreciated the hard work of the craftsmen, and asked about the production process, and the craftsman gave a detailed answer.

After listening to the explanation of the craftsman, Gao Junshan nodded with satisfaction, praised him, and then continued to walk.

Passing through a quiet garden, you will come to Sun Yuanhua's rocket workshop, where there are three "swarm" rocket launchers neatly arranged, each of which is ten, a total of thirty.

"This, this ......", Liu Hongru hesitated and stopped.

"Wen Xuan (Liu Hongru), if you have anything to say, you just say it, you don't need to swallow and spit out." Gao Junshan was slightly dissatisfied.
