"Good!" Zhang Han suddenly praised.

"Beautiful!" Sun Jingting slapped his face.

"Do'er did a great job!" Wang Yikui, Li Laibin, and Liang Xing all cheered for Wang Duoer successively.

The happy faces of the night don't close, Duo'er's success is their success, they are newcomers in the group, and they wish they had such an opportunity to prove their strength.

Duo'er was far away, and at most he could hear faint sounds, but he knew that it was his companions cheering for him. His black face was full of excitement, and he removed the arrow from his mouth, and drew his bow to the fullest, separated by a distance of about forty paces, which was too close for a mounted archer who could shoot his bow from side to side. Duoer didn't look closely, she recognized the top of the other party's head by feeling, and suddenly let go!

After a loud bowstring sound, the arrow also came, the Mongolian armored horse looked at the arrow coming to the top of his head in a panic, and hurriedly leaned over, but Duoer was sure that he would dodge, the arrow was slightly pressed down, the man only felt that his head shook a lot, and then there was a pain, the strap of the helmet cut the ear, and the blood flowed down, and then the helmet was hit by the arrow and flew out, rolling out on the ground.

Duo'er laughed a few times, at this time it had reached the corner, he calmly turned back the war horse, the armor horse on the opposite side was still in chaos, the war horse was running diagonally, Duo'er ran back calmly, and when he returned to the starting point, the armor horse was able to go to more than half of the place.

"Duo'er, Duo'er, Duo'er!"

Zhao Shiwen, Zhao Shiwu and the others first raised their weapons and shouted, and then everyone shouted, even the subordinates of the silver ingots couldn't stop cheering for their partners who traveled all the way, instead of feeling sorry for their fellow clans because of the division of the clan.

When the armor rode over, he swung his whip up and began to pump it violently, but the armor did not dare to dodge, and let the whip fall like rain, until after thirty or forty lashes, Bullertai lost his breath, and coldly ordered him to return to the team, and the armor rode on the horse, and had to fight his spirit, and hurried back to his ranks.

"What kind of person," someone in Zhang Han's team said: "If you lose, you can use your subordinates to be angry, it's really good." ”

This person's voice was very tender, and Zhang Han listened to it again, but Liang Xing and the others also agreed with this very much, and said one after another: "This tartar is indeed colorless, and he is a stingy ghost." ”

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Zhang Han's suspicion was suppressed, and at this time, Bultai was very bored, and after greeting the silver ingot, he led his troops to leave, and at this time, he looked at Zhang Han and the others, and his eyes were completely different from before.

An episode ended quickly, looking at the lively but reluctant look, Zhang Han saw that there were a few Han businessmen in the crowd who had not dispersed immediately, and in the incident just now, they did not follow the coaxing, a little bit of the same Han people's incense feeling, Zhang Han's heart moved, rode to a middle-aged Han businessman and dismounted, arched his hand: "Under Zhang Han, dare to ask Mr. Gao's surname, what do you do here?" ”

The middle-aged Han merchant smiled bitterly, and replied with a bow: "In the next Zhang Ziming, the Han merchants in northern Jin have been living here for nearly 20 years, and they usually don't have much business to do, just collect some grain and groceries from the border places, resell them, and make some hard-earned money. ”

Zhang Han then woke up, why the other party looked at him so strangely, it seems that on the one hand, this Zhang Ziming is close to the huge and strong Han businessmen in front of him, on the other hand, he and He Yusheng have taken the jobs of these Han businessmen who were engaged in the transshipment business before, no wonder this Zhang Ziming's face has always been full of strange looks, it turns out that this is the reason.

Originally, these Han merchants did business in Qingcheng and other places, in addition to going to the border horse market to buy, the usual source is the monthly market of each small fort and the smuggling in various places, these Han merchants as Han people, to do these border trade and trade to inherently have an advantage over the Mongols, not to mention their connections in the border places, just say that the mind and calculation of doing business, how many Mongolians are familiar with business?

Sun Jingting came over at this time and said, "Why did you leave your homeland and settle in this alien land?" ”

Zhang Ziming sighed: "In the next year, the family fled, I got the news in advance, picked my family as the head of the year, and the family fled north before the matter was settled, and it was difficult to go elsewhere, only to the north, after crossing the Great Wall, it was fine, my family lived in the area of the border at that time, and it was very convenient to go out of the Great Wall......

"I see......"

Everyone present showed a look of understanding, as a merchant was picked, if you don't run, you can only go bankrupt and break the house, that is, when He Yusheng was picked, Zhou Fengji and others' first plan was to escape, but at that time, Ning Yicheng covered up the news very well, and when Zhang Han and others received the wind, the matter was already a foregone conclusion, and the people from the Qing Military Department also came to guard the Zhang family's property.

In this era, the rule of the Mongols was still relatively sparse, some Taiji were ruthless, and the oppressed herdsmen had a difficult life, and most of the Taiji still knew that it was not advisable to kill chickens and take eggs, and the treatment of the herdsmen was still gone, and the Han people and Han merchants who fled were also used as much as possible, just like the Han women they plundered, there was always a suitable place to settle these people.

At that time, there were many Han people on the grassland, and more people gathered in the past few decades, and there were more than 100 Han villages near Qingcheng alone, and there were probably tens of thousands of Han people gathered.

"Now I'm going to see King Shunyi." Zhang Han looked at Zhang Ziming and said, "If I have time, I want to go to my brother's residence to talk in detail." ”

Zhang Ziming didn't know why Zhang Han was interested in him, he didn't refuse, and said: "I live in Qingtian Village outside the city, and I will know when I ask in the village." ”

"Okay." Zhang Han nodded, and glanced at a few Han merchants, everyone had a look of surprise in their eyes, he didn't explain anything, the silver ingots were already waiting anxiously, presumably the nobles in the city were also waiting, he rode his horse and whipped, and galloped towards the interior of this Mongolian city.

……

"In Xia Zhang Han, knock to see King Shunyi."

The Shunyi king of this generation Bu Shitu is already the fourth generation, is the great-grandson of the first generation of Shunyi king Altan Khan, and the same as the Shunyi kings of the past dynasties, he is the leader of the Tumut tribes, and is also the recognized co-master of the right-wing Mongolia, but the times have migrated, and the current strength of the Tumut department has been declining compared with the time of the year, and the Ming side is not as weak as the Jiajing period after Wanli, the times are reversed, and the Ming Dynasty has little need to force the three ladies to keep remarrying their nominal sons and grandsons in exchange for the loyalty of the Shunyi kings. The Tumut tribe and the Ming Dynasty have been at peace for decades, the Three Ladies have been dead for many years, and the grasslands are as quiet as ever, and this once unruly Mongol tribe that has reached the city of Beijing has become a friendly neighbor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Proprietor Zhang, please get up."

Bu Shitu really looks a bit aristocratic, with a big hat decorated with Dongzhu on his head, a bright silk robe, and a gold belt decorated with a few precious stones wrapped around his waist, sitting cross-legged on the top, and under his body is a cushion made of luxurious white fox skin and bear skin, this Great Khan of the Tumut Department is not yet thirty years old, and his eyes looking at Zhang Han are also kind with a hint of curiosity, he himself is young enough, and the big tribe that controls more than 100,000 Dingkou often feels powerless, and the Tumut Department is too big, and it has been divided into several small and medium-sized tribes, Each Taiji usually does its own thing, for example, Qinghai's Huoluo Chitaiji is its own pattern, saying that it is a Tumut lineage, and they are all descendants of Dayan Khan, but they usually do their own thing, even if their respective tribes are attacked, don't think about these Taiji of the same tribe who don't take advantage of the help, if the enemy is strong enough, even if they give benefits, they may not be able to invite foreign aid. In fact, the Mongolian tribes everywhere are the same, large and small like pearls falling on the huge jade plate of the grassland, centrifuging each other, attacking each other, Bu Shitu himself feels that he has no enthusiasm for doing things, everything has to get by, he likes Zhang Han, who is ambitious in his eyes and is determined to forge ahead.

"Proprietor Zhang, please get up ......" Bu Shitu smiled gently, motioned for Zhang Han to sit down, and said: "It is rare for the great proprietor of the Ming Kingdom to come to us, today is really rare, please don't be restrained here, no matter what, we will ensure the safety of proprietor Zhang and your servants." ”

Bu Shitu's words were of course inspired by feelings, and he already knew what happened today.

Zhang Han thanked him first, and then asked someone to bring in the gifts.

If it is a Han official, I am afraid that he is not embarrassed to accept the gift in public, but the style of the Mongols is obviously different, Zhang Han accompanied him with several carts of gifts, all of which are the most valuable items, costing more than 5,000 taels of silver, of which thirty percent is directly given to Bu Shitu, the great Khan, and then there are many Taiji sitting on both sides, and everyone has a share.

The gifts are all kinds of wool, exquisite tea, gold and silver ornaments, and some utensils and treasures, as well as Goryeo or Wa utensils such as Japanese knives and folding fans that the Mongols like, and there are a lot of them in front of each person.

"You Han people say that if you are courteous to others, you will ask for something," Bu Shitu said: "Today we have received your heavy gift, please Zhang Dongzhu say your request." ”

Zhang Han said very solemnly: "The Great Khan knows that we want to keep trading with Liaodong, from Zhangjiakou and Xinpingbao and other places to keep transporting grain and groceries, including cotton cloth and medicinal materials, as well as iron tools, the amount is very large, the trade route is far away, this time we go to the territory of the Great Khan, just to get the support of the Mongolian right wing, we and Yusheng will set up a branch in Banshengdi and Qingcheng, and then go to the Harashen Department, the Karaqin Department, the Inner Khalkha five times, and finally arrive at the Korqin Department and Liaodong, we have to establish branches and supply points along the way, The goods have been transported back and forth, along the way Taiji and the Great Khan will get our respect, along the Ming Datong Town to Xuanfu Town and Ji Town, we will set up a number of customs locations, in Liaodong, we will contact with the Houjin Khan, set up receiving and delivery points, if this trade route is established, the annual trade volume will be more than one million taels of silver, the noble Great Khan, if we can establish friendship and business, today's gift is just a drop in the bucket of future gains. ”
