Chapter 200: Hannu
When a warm body slid into his arms, Yu Feng's body stiffened, and his hand instinctively touched the short knife under the pillow, but the faint fragrance in his nostrils and the beautiful touch of his body made him stop moving.
"Who are you?" Yu Feng asked in a low voice. The woman in her arms did not answer, but responded to him with a warm movement, and two warm and moist lips were imprinted, blocking Yu Feng's later words in her mouth, and Yu Feng's brain buzzed and disappeared into this endless tenderness.
"As soon as the spring breeze and rain and dew meet, they will win countless in the world." Early in the morning, Yu Feng woke up, the jade man in his arms was still not there, only the lingering breath in the quilt showed that last night was not a spring dream. Yu Feng recalled the gentleness of last night and smiled bitterly, he was already very sure that the woman last night was the daughter of the Mongolian head man who poured wine for himself. However, when I saw her again, I only saw her smiling at herself, and she didn't show anything else.
After a night's rest, the fatigue of the journey was eliminated, and under the command of Fan Tianyu, the men and guards of the caravan unloaded the goods from the wagons, laid them out in the open space between the yurts, and began the most important trade. Just near the Crescent Lake, the leader of the Khalkha tribe carved out a large area for the caravan dedicated to trading.
Countless herdsmen and women came here with cattle and sheep and sheepskins to exchange what they wanted. Whether it is salt tea, needles and threads, iron pots and shovels, they are all indispensable things for herdsmen.
However, the most goods carried by Fan Tianyu were tea bricks. Tea is an indispensable item for herdsmen who eat meat on the grassland, there is no tea to consume food and scrape oil, people who eat meat all year round can not stand it, a large amount of oil accumulates in the body, which will seriously damage people's life expectancy, so most of the grassland herdsmen are strong, but the life expectancy is generally not high.
Yu Feng observed carefully, this tea brick is stamped with broken tea foam, using the lowest and most inferior tea, but it is very valuable here, Fan Tianyu is very dark, a two-pound tea brick He actually asked for a war horse, but those herdsmen also happily exchanged, and they didn't feel that they were at a loss.
Yu Feng secretly estimated the value of the tea bricks and war horses, and found that the profit was more than ten times!
In the grassland, cattle, sheep and horses are the specialties of the grassland, and the herdsmen also use these livestock or furs when they come to trade, but Yu Feng also found that a considerable number of herdsmen come to buy things not to barter, but to pay directly for silver or silverware, mostly some silver jewelry, such as rings, earrings and bracelets. The man in charge of the caravan did not even weigh the silverware, but took out a bag of salt or a tea brick from the pile and handed it over, and the shepherd went away happily.
"These jewelry are all snatched from our Daming, not their own things, of course they don't feel distressed." Liu Neng whispered in Yu Feng's ear.
"How do you know?" Yu Feng turned around and looked at Liu Neng in shock.
"Don't you see blood on some of the jewelry?" Liu Neng shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice: "This year's Mantar raids entered the pass and looted, and this Khalkha tribe also sent two hundred cavalry to participate, and these things were all snatched from the people of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't believe it, go half a mile north and you'll know what's going on. ”
Yu Feng glanced at Liu Neng silently, pulled his feet and walked out, and a caravan guy glanced at him and didn't say much.
Walking north along the gap in the middle of the yurt, Yu Feng carefully observed the camp of this Mongolian tribe, and found that the Mongolian camping was very distinctive, the gap between the yurts was very large, scattered, and the middle was the big yurt of the leader, and the other yurts guarded it in a ring, Yu Feng easily imagined that if something happened, the fierce Mongolian herdsmen came out of their yurts, stepped on their horses, and only needed a short time to gather in front of the leader's yurt.
I met a lot of herdsmen along the way, and when I saw Yu Feng, they all smiled and nodded, and some of them said hello, and several Mongolian girls looked at the handsome Yu Feng with admiration, whispered to each other, and then let out a gege laugh.
"This Han boy, are you looking for Jijige?" A bold Mongolian girl blocked Yu Feng's way and asked in stammering Chinese.
"Gigig, who is it?" Yu Feng asked in surprise.
"Jijig is the pearl of our Khalkha tribe, and the daughter of our leader, you just spent a good night with you last night, you forgot her, are you Han people so affectionate?" The Mongolian girl glared at Yu Feng dissatisfied.
"So her name is Gigig." Yu Feng sweated for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Do you speak Chinese?" ”
"Well, there are a lot of Han slaves in my tent, and the more I have contact with them, I have learned a little, but the words are not very good." The Mongolian girl said proudly.
Hearing the word Hannu, Yu Feng's face suddenly turned cold.
"Can you take me to see these, these slaves?" Yu Feng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and pleaded.
"What do they have to see, it's dirty and smelly, let's go, I'll take you to Jijig." The girl grinned.
"Please, I just want to check it out." Yu Feng untied a sachet from his belt and stuffed it into the girl's hand.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, it's so fragrant!" The girl put the sachet on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, holding it in her hand and loving it, "Okay, I'll take you to see it." ”
Yu Feng didn't expect that the seemingly harmonious and peaceful Mongolian tribe would have such a corner, where patches of cattle and sheep were "bleating" and "mooing", and ragged men and women were working in it, feeding the grass, picking wool, milking cows, and cleaning up the manure on the ground.
It's winter, and it's as cold as a knife, but many people here are wearing naked bodies, and their hands and faces are full of frozen cuts, and they are numb and their guys.
"Why don't they wear thick clothes!" Yu Feng asked, pointing to a male shepherd slave who was still wearing a thin summer coat.
"Don't worry, these Han slaves can't freeze to death, and there are sheep to warm them up at night." The girl said disapprerovingly.
"Your tribe is huge, and there are so many slaves." Yu Feng was probing the words of the Mongolian girl. I have to say that the herdsmen are still very sincere, far less cunning than the Han people, under the lure of Yu Feng, the girl said happily, and quickly explained the details of the tribe clearly.
This Khalkha tribe is already a relatively large tribe in the vicinity, there are more than 600 knights who can ride horses and open bows, the whole tribe adds up to more than 2,000 people, and there are more than 400 Han slaves in the tribe, all of which have been obtained by sending troops to follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the customs and looting in recent years. In the tribe, the Hannu did the most tiring work, herding horses and sheep, but eating like pigs and dogs, and the Mongols did not regard them as human beings at all, but only as tools for work.
Looking at the trembling bodies of the slaves in the cold wind, Yu Feng's eyes became fierce.
