Chapter 589: Get Close to the Seventh Princess
Diemur Hua sat down helplessly, because the seventh princess had no intention of leaving.
He led a detachment of his own troops to the place where the accident occurred in Yudu that night, but he did not want to take a fork in the road, and when they arrived in the right direction, they saw only the corpses of a few hundred horses there.
Although they didn't see Prince Yudu and his entourage, from the symptoms of the horses, Diemur Hua could still see at a glance what kind of disaster they had encountered, after all, the death of the people and livestock of that tribe was too shocking.
Diemur Hua guessed that someone from the clan must have come over, found out the whereabouts of Prince Yudu, and then took them away.
Diemur Hua sent people to inquire around, and finally found a scout, knowing that it was the Khan who sent the second prince Saman and the seventh princess to replace Yu Du and give gifts to him.
After getting this news, Diemur Hua was also embarrassed, if he was more capable of doing things, the khan would not have to be so troubled, and sent princesses and princes to deal with the situation one after another.
He hurried back, and when he returned to the camp, he saw the tragic scene of Prince Yudu and the others, all of which confirmed his suspicion, which was the same as the death of the people of the tribe he had seen at the beginning.
Whether this matter was done by the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, he was not sure, no one attributed the cause of death of the people from that tribe to the White Lotus Sect, and it was also because all the people from that tribe died, and no one was willing to make decisions for them and find out the murderer.
Now, it is the third prince of Uliangha and the successor of the Khan, Yu Du, who has suffered a tragedy, this matter can be said to be a breakthrough, and the Uliangha clan will never give up, and they have to find the murderer, and they can't find it for the time being, so they might as well start with the breakthrough of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect.
Wu Liangha made it clear that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, even if the other party was a White Lotus Sect Holy Maiden.
At this time, the second prince Saman's face was full of sadness, he was not sad for Yu Du, but was heartbroken by the Jade Princess.
Although the Jade Princess usually ignores him, she is not as ruthless as she is today, which makes him feel that his life is gloomy, his heart has nothing to rely on, and he has nothing to love.
Diemur Erhua didn't know why he was sad, thinking that he was too sad because of his brother's tragic experience, so she stepped forward to persuade him, and wanted to discuss the next thing with him, but Sa Man couldn't listen to what he said at all, and there was a demented expression on his face.
Diemur Hua had no choice but to run here to find the seventh princess, although the seventh princess is a woman, she is much stronger than the second prince and the third prince.
Besides, please sit down with the two of you, and specially ask him to bring him the apricot blossom white that Diemur flowers like to drink.
"Lord Diemur Hua, I'm tired after running all night, drink some wine to relieve my fatigue." Besides, it's very attentive and authentic.
Diemur looked at it in amazement, what's wrong with this guy today, and his attitude is surprisingly good.
"His Royal Highness Qincha is a rare good person among the Han people, and he is as hospitable and bold as us." The Seventh Princess praised.
Diemur Flower was also puzzled, I don't know why her attitude changed so quickly, don't be playing any tricks.
Besides, he hasn't had many good faces to show him, although he can't find anything wrong with the etiquette, but the attitude of indifference and rejection of people thousands of miles away is still clearly there, making him feel invisible pressure.
Could it be that the change in Da Ming Qincha's attitude is because of the Seventh Princess?
Just because a girl came, his attitude became so attentive? This guy is too, right?
Diemur made up her mind, she had to find an opportunity to tell the Seventh Princess, but don't fall for this kid.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
He was not polite, and galloped for half the night, indeed tired and sleepy, and just needed some good wine to refresh his mind.
"By the way, Your Highness Qincha, the swarm of bees you want to auction hasn't been sold yet, has it?" The Seventh Princess asked.
She's here for this, not just to give gifts or have a good relationship. This shows that the seventh princess is a woman who has the idea to do business.
A swarm of more than 2,000 people is very attractive to any race, they are extremely valuable cannon fodder, relatively speaking, money is the end of the matter.
It is by no means easy to spend money to buy valuable cannon fodder, there are no mercenaries on the steppe, and once a big war breaks out, each tribe has to join its own camp, and there is basically no other available force. The combat effectiveness of these rogues is still much stronger than that of those people from small and medium-sized tribes, and the main thing is to let these people take the lead, and they don't feel distressed when they die.
Another purpose of the Seventh Princess's visit was to buy some iron pots from besides.
Indeed, it is either iron or weaponry, or iron pot.
At that time, the imperial court imposed strict restrictions on foreign trade, and iron pots were scarce materials, and the average family did not have a good iron pot. Most of the family's iron pots are handed down from their ancestors, I don't know how many years they have been used, and if they are broken, they will find someone to repair them as much as possible, and those that cannot be repaired will be taken out and turned into molten iron.
Some families have lost their iron pots and can only cook meat in skins, and the taste is really hard to swallow.
Since the Jiajing period, there have been countless battles between the imperial court and the outside of the Saiwai, and a central issue is to ask the imperial court to sell them enough iron pots, so some people also call the wars of these decades "iron pot wars".
The imperial court imposed the strictest purchase restrictions on Saiwai, not so that the herdsmen would not have an iron pot to stew meat to eat, but because they were afraid that the powerful clans outside the Saiwai would use it to turn it into molten iron to cast weapons, in fact, it also overestimated the level of blacksmiths outside the Saiwai. Those pieces of iron don't make decent weapons at all.
Before the Jiajing year, the business of the iron workshops outside the Saiwai was bleak, and the level of craftsmanship plummeted, and few people could turn scrap iron into molten iron and recast ironware.
There are many reasons for this, the most important one is that at that time, high-quality charcoal was needed to turn scrap iron into molten iron, and high-quality charcoal needed vast forests. The charcoal cast by iron is not the charcoal used for making hot pot or heating at home, and the quality requirements are much stricter.
Without a sufficient amount of high-quality charcoal, the temperature cannot reach the melting point of iron, and of course scrap iron cannot be turned into molten iron, and it is empty talk to recast iron tools and make weapons.
I think that during the period of Genghis Khan and Ögedei, the iron-smelting technology on the grassland was more advanced than that in the mainland, and it could cast the world's most advanced return artillery at that time, which was later the so-called red-coated cannon. At that time, it was definitely the only artifact to conquer the city, but after more than 100 years, the descendants of Genghis Khan almost lost the process of iron smelting and casting, and had to rely on the supply from the mainland.
The first time they met, the seventh princess did not make this request, she knew that it was not a trivial matter, she had to warm up, and she could only speak to a certain extent. Once you open your mouth, you have to let it be impossible to refuse.
"A swarm of those people, they are all well fed and drunk, these people are happy, they are a few pounds fatter than when they were first caught." Besides, laughed.
He didn't expect that the hearts of a swarm of bees could be so big, and he was imprisoned in the camp, thinking about nothing, eating and drinking deliciously every day, without the slightest consciousness of being a prisoner, but treating himself as a guest.
For them, such a day is really rare, they don't have to worry about going out to fight and kill, they eat every day with their mouths full of oil, and they get drunk, but they do have a very good mind, that is, they don't make trouble at all, don't make trouble.
"So when is His Highness going to auction them? Whether you can sell it directly to us is negotiable. The Seventh Princess asked.
"I'm afraid this won't work, Her Royal Highness the princess also knows that the people from Tartary and Warat have rushed over to prepare to buy, and they are all noble princesses, I don't want to go back on my word and sell them to you privately, I hope you understand." And politely.
"Oh, forget it, let's bid." The seventh princess was not disappointed, and her answer was the same as she expected, and she didn't expect to really give her face, and sold people directly to her in private.
"In addition, I heard that the Tatar tribe and the Warat tribe have the intention of marrying His Highness Qincha, and our clan also has this meaning, and I have a few younger sisters, all of whom are young and beautiful, if His Highness Qincha is interested, you can come to our clan and choose one yourself." The seventh princess laughed.
"This ......" is a headache.
This is really afraid of something, what he is most afraid of now is that someone proposes to marry him, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he will marry the princess to him. In any case, people have good intentions, at least on the face of it, you can't take other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.
The clans that proposed the marriage had not discussed, but they knew that one clan had proposed it, and the other clans had also proposed it, and no one was willing to be subordinate, and there were more than a dozen or twenty princesses in each clan, and it was not a matter of marrying one.
The princes and princesses of all ethnic groups have a clear political purpose in marriage, either to strengthen the original alliance, or to form a new alliance, whether men and women love each other or not is not considered at all, whether the parties are willing, let alone a problem, because they simply do not have the freedom to choose.
"This ...... Can you only pick one? Besides, he touched his chin and laughed at himself.
"His Royal Highness Qincha can marry a few more if you want to, as long as you like them all." The Seventh Princess covered her mouth and smiled.
"How many are you?" Besides, he looks like a pig brother, and he doesn't want a big face.
"Of course, I didn't expect His Highness Qincha to be so greedy." The seventh princess said with joy in her heart.
"Okay, I'll definitely go to the nobles when the time comes, and I'll wait until this negotiation is over." Besides, he laughed.
"Then it's a deal?"
"It's a deal." Besides, it's authentic.
The seventh princess didn't suspect anything, she was very happy in her heart, she thought that the probability of this thing being successful was very low, but she didn't expect it to be mentioned as soon as she mentioned it, it seems that it is the common practice in the world for men to be lustful.
Diemur looked at it with suspicion, I don't know what the hell he was thinking, anyway, this Qincha's words were not credible.
Diemur Hua knew that he was not lustful, at least not good at all, and the two ladies he had seen were stunning, not to mention that the beauties around him were much more beautiful than those princesses in the clan.
Besides, why did he keep resisting the Jade Princess, but opened up to his own clan, the Seventh Princess casually mentioned it, he agreed, and took the initiative to ask, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
"He wouldn't want to marry the Seventh Princess, would he?" Diemur's mind flashed, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
