Chapter 364: Border Pass Meets Qi Shuai Again

Xiaojun's famous saying is that he lacks everything in this life, that is, he is not short of silver.

Besides, I don't know how much silver he has, anyway, he really doesn't care about gold and silver, and he never has the idea of this aspect. Besides, he didn't count his share in this transaction.

Although Zhou Dingcheng participated, he didn't count him, now Zhou Dingcheng spends all his money, and he is not merciless, so he is not distressed, and he is called helping to scatter wealth and avoid disasters.

Xiao Jun came here this time just to worry about an unexpected situation, he wanted to ensure that this transaction was successful, and it was a trivial matter whether he could get the silver or not, so he had always disapproved of the high-price peddling policy with Zhuo Maolin.

In his opinion, it would be thankful to be able to throw this hot potato out, and what more money did he need.

Besides, it's not that these silver are rare, but acting requires a lot of effort, if it is thrown out so easily, no one will believe it, only when it is sold at a high price, those people will believe it a little, and they really give up the treasure map.

Xiao Jun thought about it and laughed secretly, people are really afraid of being forced, horses are afraid of riding, and he used to be a talented person, he didn't expect that when he still had such a black belly, he could still play with a black belly to this realm, even he felt admired, these were forced out.

Only one transaction was made that day, and there were a few buyers, all of whom wanted to swallow the goods together, Zhuo Maolin's people decisively withdrew, did not complete the transaction, and then looked for buyers, anyway, now there are goods in hand, no one is worried about no one buying, who does not have tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hands, and he is worthy of being called a big man if he does not carry tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Moreover, in the afternoon, he rode a horse and led the guards to the border pass, he climbed the Great Wall, overlooking the scene outside the Saiwai, it was really reckless and boundless, there were green grasslands and desert yellow sand, which reminded him of the ballad of "Elechuan".

The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Now he can also see herds of cattle and sheep, which are all following the little prince to carry Hannaji's logistics team, and the nomadic tradition is to follow the horses, sheep and cattle wherever they go, even in war.

Cattle and sheep are the rations of the warriors on the steppe, mainly sheep, cattle are generally a means of transportation, and horses are special war horses.

Therefore, when the legions on the steppe moved, they were followed by an endless herd of sheep, which were slaughtered and eaten when they rested in the fields.

The same was true when the Mongol iron cavalry was rampant all over the world, unless there was a task of rapid march, and they also moved with a flock, otherwise they had nothing to eat. It is certainly a beautiful talk to be fed up with the enemy, but everyone knows that there is a trick of clearing the wilderness, and there is no need to learn Sun Tzu's art of war at all.

It is obviously not too realistic to want to satisfy the appetite of the army by looting or requisitioning grain on the spot.

Legend has it that this is how shabu mutton was invented, Kublai Khan led his army to a place, slaughtered a fat sheep, and was about to stew in the pot, but the front came to report that the enemy had approached and had to move immediately.

At this time, Kublai Khan was still hungry, and the chef made a brain teaser for a while, and made a hurry, sliced the mutton as thin as a snowflake, and then soaked it in boiling water, dipped it in the condiments, and Kublai Khan felt a unique flavor when he ate it.

After he went back, one day he wanted to eat it again, and the chef did it methodically this time, and of course made it more carefully, so a Chinese delicacy of shabu mutton was born.

Kublai Khan was not only the originator of eating mutton shabu, but his queen was also the inventor of the waistcoat.

It is said that Kublai Khan's queen was very thrifty, and accumulated some cloth heads, and later made them into vests for palace maids to wear, and the people also rushed to follow suit.

Many great inventions were born by chance, such as the invention of penicillin, the invention of the steam engine, and so on.

Outside the Guan, he saw that the banner of the minister of the Chin Cha was raised on the Great Wall, which was also prepared in Beijing, and it was not played along the road, and now he had to face the envoy of the Tatars, so he raised the flag representing the minister of the Chin Cha.

Above is a python with teeth and claws, except for only four claws, it is the same as the form of a dragon, but if you want to tell whether it is four claws or five claws, you can only know if you count it carefully before you get closer.

Therefore, most people also call this kind of flag representing the prince the dragon flag.

In the sky above the king's tent opposite, a flag of the king of Tatars was also raised, but it was a wolf-headed banner.

On the flag, the huge head of a blue wolf opened its bloody mouth, as if it wanted to devour the world.

Besides, I wondered: the wolf's head flag should be a totem of the Turks and Khitans, the Mongolian tribes worship the immortal sky, and the religion is shamanism, so the wolf's head should not be used as a totem symbol.

But it's relieved to think about it, the Xiongnu, Turkic, Khitan, and Mongolia were actually originally the same ancestors, living with the Han people in the area of the birthplace of human beings in Henan, and later the Xiongnu were expelled to the steppe, and the Han gradually became an agricultural people, and the rest were mostly nomadic people.

There are so many races of these nomadic peoples that even specialized human historians can't figure it out, and generally speaking, they are believed to have been developed by the Yi people in Henan. The place of origin of the Han Chinese is also there.

However, the Han and Yi people are clearly different from each other and do not share a common ancestor. Could it be that the Han Chinese migrated here from elsewhere? Or are they outsiders? Or do both have a common ancestor, only to have a genetic mutation later in the evolutionary process?

These can only be insoluble mysteries in the history of mankind, and it is impossible for future generations to completely understand them, and it is obviously too optimistic to rely on a few dry bones and test DNA to find out the answer.

At this time, besides, the military horn was blown on this side, and the horn was also blown on the other side to echo, and they corresponded to each other, as if they were conveying some kind of message, but in fact they were just expressing a kind of goodwill.

At this time, Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi were both accompanying him, and the generals at the border gate were following behind, and Ji Chang was still standing by his side to protect him, preventing ordinary people from approaching Lord Qincha.

"They seem to be ready." Wang Chonggu also heard it, and the sound of the horn on the opposite side was a salute to the dragon flag raised here.

"I heard that this little prince is also a wonderful person, and he admires my Han culture and etiquette very much, and this time I just want to enter the customs to have a good trip." Fang Fengshi said with a smile.

"In fact, there is a family outside and inside the customs, why bother to fight around, peaceful coexistence, trade and mutual benefit, isn't it a good win-win situation." And sighed.

Of course, his vision is different from these people, and he knows that in the end, all races will merge into one big race, which is the Chinese nation.

Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi heard Lord Qincha say this, and they were so frightened that they almost fell off the Great Wall, these words were too bold, and they actually dared to say that they were one family with the enemy?

However, they agree with the view that it is better to talk than to fight, and that it is better to negotiate peace, and that mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence are the well-being of all the people inside and outside the border.

Several people were looking out and chatting, but they saw Qi Jiguang also climbing the Great Wall, walked over, and said with a smile: "My lord, you are one step ahead of me." ”

He has been waiting here for the little prince to enter the customs, but he can't be idle, he runs to the barracks every day, and fights with those middle and lower class soldiers, and he also wants to know more about the Tatar military situation, customs and customs from these people's mouths.

He is now the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, mainly responsible for the Tatar war, but he has been leading his troops to fight against the Japanese and pirates along the coast, and he does not know much about the various aspects of the Tatar's strength.

Now was the best time for him to know about the Tatars, and who knew the Tatar military better than the soldiers who had fought bloody battles with the Tatar horsemen.

Indeed, there were many people in the border army who fought bloody battles with the Tatars, but their achievements were ashamed of others, most of them were defeats, and escape was commonplace. These people have already trained a pair of oiled soles, and when they see that the situation is not right, they will run away, and they will not be able to stop them, and they will continue to serve as soldiers after escaping.

Of course, Qi Jiguang would not mention these, but complimented them for their hard work.

"Qi Shuai, you will hide from the leisure." Besides, he laughed.

Qi Jiguang smiled, he had also heard about the strange things he had encountered, and he had never asked, he knew that this little brother would not suffer.

Qi Jiguang is not idle, he just doesn't like officialdom, and the most reliable reason is, of course, to study Tatar love in the military camp every day. For him, that's what really matters.

"I just don't hide and be idle, I can't help you with those things, Wang Dutang and Fang Zongxian are there to help you, what kind of pain are you calling it." Qi Jiguang said.

Wang Chonggu smiled bitterly: "We didn't help much, it was all solved by Lord Qincha himself." ”

Ji Chang told him earlier that he wanted to propose a thousand strong bows and crossbows from the warehouse, and he also agreed, this kind of armory warehouse has sufficient reserves, not to mention a thousand, even two thousand is no problem.

"Would you like some more birds?" Qi Jiguang offered to help.

The bird gun was later used by folk hunters*, which was called the fire gun at that time, and the shorter one was the handgun, a large pistol.

"There's also one in the Bird's Gun Warehouse? Can the Governor lend it to us? Ji Chang was overjoyed.

"What to borrow, it's used to defend the border, and it's even more useful for Lord Qincha to defend himself and protect the mission, just use it, you don't have to pay it back, I'll give a document to the military department when I go back, and let them make up for it." Wang Chonggu said generously.

Of course, Ji Chang was not polite, he asked for 500 bird guns and 300 handguns, not only the 3,000 people who guarded the other 3,000 people had to be used, but the other 7,000 people had better be equipped with some, since they wanted to bring them, they would bring more.

In addition, he understands more about his thoughts, that is, he thinks about the law, and pulls more controlled ordnance into his hands, and in the future, if he wants to expand the army, these materials cannot be bought with silver.

Besides, after knowing it, he was naturally even more happy.

"Qi Shuai, are you all ready there?" Besides, he asked.

"What do I have to prepare, I'll be in charge of protecting them when they come in." Qi Jiguang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's open the door and get ready to welcome the guests?" Moreover, looking at Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi again, the two of them also nodded.

"Open and close the door and get ready to welcome guests." Besides, he waved the scepter in his hand and commanded loudly.
