Besides, he said with a smile: "I think it's okay to change the wine, let's not bring much, so let's give them three jars, and another jar for Baten." ”

Ji Chang sang a promise and went out.

Besides, the few jars they talked about were actually used to it, and the wine they brought was packed in large wooden barrels, which was light and large, and it was brought out as military rations.

It was cold at night, and the guards had to drink a bowl of wine, and those on patrol had to drink two more bowls. Naturally, there is a lot of wine to be consumed.

In addition, although there is a lot of food brought with them, from now on we must also save on it, and we must increase the amount of meat and reduce the consumption of rice and vegetables. Even so, it is still a question whether it can hold out until Bansheng City.

In addition to Zuo Ling, Li Xiangjun, and Zhang Whale still maintain the dietary specifications in Datong City, and others can only slowly follow the local customs.

He asked Zhuo Maolin to bring some grain, vegetables and wine from the Salt Gang, but these took time, and it was impossible to arrive immediately.

After dinner, he sat down at the table and began to write a recital for the emperor, giving a detailed report on the battle with a swarm of bees and grass flying on the grass, as well as the sinister intentions of the Tatar cavalry, and omitting the matter of preparing for auction after catching the rogue. In addition, he asked the imperial court to provide more * and lead pellets and bows and arrows for the reissue of bird guns, and after they were sent to Datong City, he would find a way to transport them to the outside of the customs.

After writing a chapter to the emperor, he wrote a letter to Zhang Juzheng, the content is similar, and it is also a description of what happened after leaving the customs, as well as his countermeasures. He particularly emphasized that there are more than 100 large and small gangsters on the grassland, and they are very hostile to the diplomatic corps, and it cannot be ruled out that they were instructed by King Altan and Zhao Quan behind the scenes. During the negotiations, they may be harassed and attacked by many parties, so please coordinate with the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Bureau to ensure the supply of arms to the escort of the diplomatic mission.

He knew that dealing with the Sixth Ministry and the Ordnance Bureau, Zhang Juzheng's appearance was more effective than the emperor's holy decree, and the emperor had too many things, if he forgot it, he would be miserable.

Although there are also reserves in the warehouses of the officials and soldiers in Datong City, they have already taken a lot away when they leave the customs, and they can no longer ask Wang Chonggu for further requests, so they can only ask the imperial court to make additional repayments.

As for the imperial court's strict prohibition of these big killing weapons outside the customs, he can only ignore it, if there is no bird gun, he can only fill it with the lives of his guards, of course he will not do this kind of stupid thing to drink to quench his thirst.

In another camp, Cao Delin and Gai Wenhu are also writing chapters, this is their own job, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally to supervise the hundred officials, and the army is also under the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and many officials and soldiers have the imperial history of the supervising army sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"I said Lao Cao, did you say that Lord Qincha did this, isn't it a bit too much, it won't stab other people's hornet's nests, right?" Gavin Tiger said with some concern.

What he was worried about was whether the auction of the rogues as slaves would trigger a group attack by various forces in the grassland.

"Let's not worry about these things, we can't control them anyway, it's all at the discretion of Lord Qincha." Cao Delin said with a smile.

"But if we are attacked, we are also in danger." Gavin Tiger said urgently.

"How's that going? You have also seen today's events, the people of Jinyi Wei are still very capable, and more than 2,000 rogues died almost in front of them, captives of prisoners. ”

"Today it's only 2,000 people, what if 10,000 or even 20,000 people attack us?" Gavin Tiger still felt that it was inappropriate.

To be honest, if the Tatar cavalry entered the pass and captured the bandits and auctioned them off as slaves, I am afraid that the various forces in the interior would also be enraged, and the subsequent situation may not be to pay for slaves, but to attack en masse.

Gavin Tiger deduced the result from this, and he felt very uneasy.

Cao Delin thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "What we can think of, Lord Qincha can't think of?" He's got to deal with it, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

"Not necessarily, although he is extremely talented, after all, he is too young, and sometimes he doesn't know the depth of his work, we should persuade him to be."

Cao Delin said angrily: "At the dinner, didn't you still pat your thighs and applaud this thing that Lord Qincha did?" How do you say these things now? ”

Gavin Tiger smiled bitterly: "Didn't I rush with blood at the time, I just thought it was fun, but now the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong." ”

"In that case, let's go to Lord Chincha and talk about our thoughts." Cao Delin said.

The two of them came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and there was only one person in the huge big tent of the Chinese army, so he was really alone, Ji Chang sat outside the tent with a knife.

Moreover, when he saw the two of them coming, he hurried out to meet them.

"What do you want to discuss with each other?"

Cao Delin and Gavin Tiger immediately expressed their concerns.

Moreover, he smiled and said, "Two adults, please rest assured, I have also done this with great consideration." Originally, I wanted to kill all these two bandits, and deter the rogues outside the plug, but I heard that there are currently more than 100 large and small bandits ready to do something against us, and if we don't deter them, our troubles will be endless. However, the hearts of the people below are still too soft, and they can't do anything to those who surrender, which is also a good thing, which shows that our people are civilized people, and our army is a civilized and mighty army. These rogues have bounties on their behalf, so they have to be given to the king even if they are not auctioned. ”

Gavin Hu said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, we thought about it for a while, and thought that it would be better to cancel the auction and give it to the king of Alta, so that those rogues on the grassland, and all kinds of forces, will not hold a grudge against us." ”

"This is not necessarily the case, after all, we are the ones who arrest people, and whether we hold a grudge or not, those rogues who want to come at us, whether it is various forces, are going to come after all, instead of being afraid of them, it is better to simply challenge them boldly. Whoever commits a crime against us will be killed, and the rest will be caught and auctioned. Besides, he said arrogantly.

"We feel that this matter should be left to the Tatars to settle so as not to cause unnecessary disputes." Cao Delin said.

Besides, he smiled bitterly in his heart, these two people are not domineering in the court, aren't they known as iron-fisted imperial history, why are they so cautious now?

"You have also seen the virtues of the Tatars, nominally they are here to protect us, but they colluded with the rogues to rob us, if we don't have the ability to defend ourselves, I dare to guarantee that we will all have to go bare-ass before we wait for Bansheng City. Do you think the king of Altan will do justice for us? I'll tell you, this may be the order of the king of Alta, anyway, as long as we reach Bansheng City alive, nothing will be strange if anything happens. And sneered.

Cao Delin and Gavin Tiger were silent, they had also seen the greedy and ferocious gaze in the eyes of the Tatar cavalry in the past two days, and they really seemed to want to strip them all of themselves.

"Yes, yes, these things are still decided by Lord Qincha, so let's not worry about it." Cao Delin is humane.

"Two adults, please rest assured, I will fight all these ten thousand brothers, and I will not let you adults be hurt at all." Besides.

"Then thank you for your hard work, and you should pay more attention to rest." Cao Delin said, pulling Gavin Tiger and hurried back.

"Lao Cao, I always feel that we are more than lucky when we go out this time." Back in the tent, Gavin grabbed a bottle of wine and took a big sip.

"Don't think about it, in this case, it's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided." Cao Delin was also a little pessimistic.

When they were in the capital, they didn't think about how risky this negotiation was, after all, the powerful families behind them had been doing business with the king of Altan and several relatively large forces on the grassland for many years, and the two sides had always maintained a good relationship, and the people sent to the grassland by several major families had never had an accident, and even the rogues did not dare to rob them, because they knew that they were protected by the king of Altan.

Therefore, they also thought that this time they were negotiating on behalf of the imperial court, and there should be no problems.

It had only been two days since they had been gone, and so much had happened that even the Tatar cavalry sent by the king of Alta to protect them was unreliable.

The rogues insisted that they had been summoned by Jehan, and the people of the mission were fully convinced, knowing very well that if it were not for Jehan's idea, these rogues would not have dared to fight the idea of the diplomatic mission. The 3,000 Tatar cavalry sent by the king of Altan belonged to the most elite troops, and was by no means able to resist more than 2,000 rogues.

"We should write a letter and ask those big people to send someone to protect us." Gavin Tiger said indignantly.

The big man he said is the head of several powerful families, and this time the two of them went out to negotiate and at the same time shouldered the task of fighting for the maximum interests of several powerful families.

"Forget it, I don't think more is better than less, the minister's escort force is enough to protect us." Cao Delin hesitated.

"I'm not asking those big men to send a lot of people, but letting them coordinate with King Alta and them, so we shouldn't be threatened."

Cao Delin is right to think about it, besides, the 10,000 people he brought with him are indeed extraordinary, but what will happen if he encounters an attack by 10,000 Tatar soldiers?

Although this assumption is a bit absurd, it is difficult to say that it will not happen, this time it was Zhehan who borrowed the * robbery of the Liukou and they did not succeed, who knows if it will be done directly next time?

The two discussed, and Gavin immediately drafted a letter for help under the lamp, sealed it, and prepared to hand it over to Beijing with the concerto.

After leaving the customs, all the pieces and letters sent to the imperial court had to be transmitted to Datong City through the post stations set up by the Tatars, and then Wang Chonggu took over and transmitted them to Beijing.

Moreover, some of the secret letters were sent by the Salt Gang, but the officials' concerts and letters still followed the usual channels, and they didn't want to expose the secret route of the Salt Gang.

The Tatars passed the recital, and naturally there was a possibility that the Tatars would peek at it, but there was no way, after all, the imperial court did not have the ability to establish its own post station outside the Saiwai.

The post stations of the Tatars are different from those in the mainland, they are generally mobile, not fixed, but their post station system is inherited from Genghis Khan, and the efficiency is definitely not worse than that of the mainland, especially the people outside the country are good at equestrianism, and the speed of transmitting letters is first-class.

During the period of Genghis Khan, the Mongol army transmitted information by riders who changed horses day and night, and could run thousands of miles in one breath, which the Han people could never do.
