Volume 8 Chapter 244 Bring the city to your doorstep
The leaders of the Chahar Department did miscalculate this time, they were initially wary of Zhang Bin using the guise of discussing and making money to trick them into sending them to death, but after meeting with Zhang Bin, they were deceived by huge interests and mobilized almost all of their young and strong men to mine, which is tantamount to cutting off their hands and feet!
At this time, if Zhang Bin made a move, they would really not be able to eat and walk around, because they had no young men to summon.
The ups and downs of life come too fast, it's really unbearable, they just received the first month's commission, and before they had time to carnival, Zhang Bin led 50,000 Guanning iron horsemen to the edge of the Chahar grassland!
At this time, the leaders of the Chahar tribes really repented of their intestines, and said that they wanted to die without money, but they were tempted by Zhang Bin and turned into asking for money and not dying, they are really pig brains!
Will Zhang Bin take the opportunity to do it?
This question is not only wanted to know by Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng and others who are close at hand, but also by the contractors who regret not falling in all parts of the grassland.
Of course, Zhang Bin would not take the opportunity to make a move, he shook his head firmly and said: "No, even if we attack now, we can't destroy them, they will definitely run faster than rabbits, even if we kill all the young people who are mining, it can only increase hatred, and it can't solve the fundamental problem." ”
Bi Maokang thought about it when he heard this, and soon understood that Zhang Bin was indeed right, the Mengyuan troops would run away if they couldn't beat it when the army was strong, not to mention that they couldn't mobilize any troops at this time, as long as the Guanning Iron Cavalry launched an attack, they would definitely escape, and when the time came, where to find them!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Shuangquan, then how are you going to solve the problem of Meng Yuan, just build a railway in the past?" ”
Zhang Bin pretended to be mysterious and said: "Shanren has his own clever plan, you just wait to see a good show." ”
When Bi Maokang heard this, he rolled his eyes, this guy is playing dumb riddles again!
At this moment, the leader of the Mengyuan Duotro tribe, who was more than a hundred miles away, was not as simple as rolling his eyes, he was scurrying around in the big tent with an anxious face, how is this good, how is this good, the Ming cavalry is more than a hundred miles away from him!
He really wanted to slap his ears, why was he so stupid at the beginning, he actually believed Zhang Bin's old fox's words, everyone made a fortune together, now it's good, he earned nearly 200,000 taels this month, but I'm afraid this money can only be used to buy coffins!
Thinking that more than 10,000 young men under his command were still mining under the "custody" of the Ming army, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, how is this good, should he leave them and run away?
It was really difficult for him to make a choice, because of his run, the tribe was almost all young, even if the other tribes didn't take the opportunity to annex them, it would take them decades to recover, decades, he would still live to that time!
He could only hope in anxiety and hesitation, hoping for a miracle, and hoping that the Ming army would not come to clean them up.
This kind of thing is logically impossible, the so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, such a good opportunity, will the Ming army miss it, will Zhang Bin miss it?
Unexpectedly, a miracle really appeared, he anxiously scurried around in the big tent for a long time, the Ming army did not move at all, the news that the scouts came back has always been "the Ming army camped on the edge of the grassland", "the Ming army camped on the edge of the grassland", he suspected that the scouts he sent had been bought by the Ming army, but the Ming army did not come to raid, and there was no movement on the entire grassland!
What's going on, is Zhang Bin trying to paralyze him?
It's impossible, if you quickly whip the horse, you will rush over in an hour, and you will be paralyzed, just rush directly, not to mention that your entire tribe will be wiped out, at least the old and weak women and children who don't have horses to ride can't run away.
The next morning, he was sitting alone in the big tent performing a facial cramp dance, when the guards outside suddenly came to report that the envoy of the Ming army had come.
What does this mean?
He suddenly dared to summon the envoy of the Ming army in and asked, but it turned out to be their Taishi Wei Guogong who invited him to come over, saying that there was something to discuss with him!
To go or not to go?
He thought about it for a while, but finally decided to go.
Zhang Bin wants to clean him up, it is far from being so troublesome, it is still the same sentence, just rush over directly, even if he can't catch himself, he can make his tribe breathless for decades, and there is no need to put on any Hongmen banquet.
He trembled and followed the envoy of the Ming army to the camp of the Ming army on the edge of the grassland, and as soon as he walked into Zhang Bin's tent, he felt more than half of his heart, because he saw not a military general full of big tents, but a few civil officials.
He saluted a little, and sat down on the right under the guidance of Zhang Bin, and then arched his hand and said, "I don't know what Grandpa Guo has to do when he recruits Xiao Wang to come." ”
Zhang Bin smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to tell you that we are going to build a small city near here." ”
This is not a big deal, you have built the fortress at my doorstep, it is not a big deal, if we are really friends, it is reluctant to say the past, but our friends are destined not to do it for long, and we will turn our faces in the future, how can I go to your Daming Grass Valley!
He boldly asked, "This, Grandpa Guo, why are you building a city here?" ”
Zhang Bin still smiled and said: "My father didn't have this idea before, but this time the defenders of Datong Town complained that it was too troublesome to send grain, after all, two or three hundred miles away, right, this section of the grassland is good to say, just out of the customs This more than 100 miles is really not easy to walk, they proposed, directly build a city on the edge of this grassland, and get the grain, anyway, there is a railway, anyway, you have to transport ore back, come by empty car, it is better to transport some grain." ”
This seems to make some sense, if it is an ore, no one should pick it up if it is thrown on the ground, this thing can't be eaten, what are you doing when you pick it up, it is useless for ordinary people to take it, even if someone picks it up, it is nothing, because the ore is piled up with millions or even tens of millions of catties, and you can pick up how much you can pick up.
It's different if there are millions or even tens of millions of catties, there will be people who will desperately "pick up", because the food can be eaten, if there are too many tuns, Horqin and even Er'er may lead the army to come and grab it!
The leader of the Dotro tribe hesitated a little, he really couldn't say anything if he didn't agree, people are coming to the city at this time, but he has no soldiers in his hands, in case he angers others, he will directly kill you, and then clean up the other clansmen, and the Dotro tribe is likely to be finished from now on!
He thought for a while, plucked up the courage to refuse, and said, "Grandpa Guo, if this is not the case, I will discuss with the leaders of other tribes before replying to you, after all, this Chahar grassland is not our Dotro family." ”
