"What's so strange about this, everyone wants to get more benefits and pay less when restructuring, the reform method we drafted was told to the officials of the thousands of households before the meeting, of course they have to discuss, the Mongolian tribes used to be so noisy, it would be good not to stab you in the back, and we still have Bai Xianzhi, Ma Qi, Fan Yongdou and these elites here," Ortai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It would be easy if Yuzi was here, the Mongols admired strong heroes, when Altan Khan was there, The nobles of the various tribes are fighting fiercely than this, but as long as Altan Khan comes, everyone has to listen to him, we still can't replace Yuzi, let's discuss with everyone patiently. ”

"Yuzi has really spoiled the common people, you go and discuss with them yourself, I will go back to Meidai tomorrow, and the monks should not care about your mundane affairs." The Lama couldn't stand it anymore, so he clapped his hands and left.

As soon as the Lama left the Great Commander's Palace, Jeddah ran in excitedly: "Chaolu and Chen Erzhu are back!" The Grand Commander has sent a letter! ”

Chaolu and Chen Erzhu arrived later, and everyone gathered around them to ask this and that, Chaolu and Chen Erzhu answered while wiping their sweat, and handed Li Yu's letter to Ortai.

"Yuzi asked us to mobilize troops and horses, and prepare to enter Shanxi to suppress the Liukou, and there will be a war again!" Ortai was a little frustrated, and handed the letter to Li Fugui and Li Huai.

"This is a good thing, our soldiers enter the customs to fight, and the Ming Kingdom will have to pay military salaries, this is to raise soldiers for us, this is easy to do, isn't Lao Bai's thousand people only soldiers, then send them into the customs to suppress thieves." Li Fugui shouted happily, Li Huai was also full of joy, Fengzhou had already tasted the sweetness, and fighting a war was like going to make money.

Ortai thought about it and nodded, and sent someone to immediately go to Zhao Ji, Liu Xingzuo, Bai Xianzhi and Ma Guangyuan from the Jingyu Deputy General's Mansion to discuss the matter.

The Erji Lama returned to Meidai to summon, Wu Langha was also leaving, she knew that Li Yu was safe and sound, so she was relieved, she was going to go out of the door, she was also annoyed by the endless quarrels, Chahar Khan sent someone to send a letter, hoping that his sister would take the little Ada Hai to the old capital, he wanted to see his little nephew, Wu Langha had already had this heart, their brother and sister heirs were not prosperous, Chahar Khan is now only a son of Ezhe Kongor, sister Tai Song, younger brother Zitu actually couldn't give birth to a child, Wu Langha felt that Xiao Li Meng gave himself a long face, It's really unwilling not to go back to her mother's house to show off, just when Chaolu came back, Wu Langha greeted the Great Commander's Mansion, and the people of the Great Commander's Mansion can't take care of him at all now, Ortai even wished that she would leave and not come back, and immediately promised to send Chaolu to escort her back to her mother's house.

The restructuring meeting had to continue, but when Li Huai read out Li Yu's letter, everyone immediately became excited, they were going to fight in the Ming Kingdom, which was a rich place, and the opportunity to make money came, and some people immediately made a fuss about sending troops.

Ortai read out the restructuring resolution to everyone with a smile, and the officials and people eagerly cheered and passed it, and decided to officially implement the new policy in Fengzhou next year.

The Great Commander's Mansion built a silver banknote bureau, presided over by Li Fugui, who was in charge of money and grain, and supervised by two ladies, Wulan and Wu Langha, officially issued Fengzhou military tickets with Li Yu's head - in order to avoid suspicion in the Ming court, the name of the silver banknote was not used, but the military ticket was issued in the name of preparing for food and salary, and Wang Fang, the chief in charge of papermaking and printing in the craftsman camp, patted his chest and said that their ancestors had privately printed Daming treasure banknotes and were killed, and he himself had forged official documents of the imperial court, and the matter of printing military tickets was wrapped in him, absolutely exquisite and could not be counterfeited, Du Hongtai's eyes breathed fire, I can't wait to kick this guy to death - something is contained in Fengzhou, a slave, a horse thief, a profiteer, a ruffian, and now there is a fugitive.

The Commander's Office promised not to weaken the system of health offices, and that land and livestock would be distributed to individuals from their own operations, but the transfer and sale of land and livestock must be approved by the public agreement of the 100 households and reported to the 1000 households, and each 1,000 households and 100 households could organize laborers to go out to work, or they could raise their own property and do business, and the proceeds would be distributed by the firm by Ding Zhuang, and half of the land taxes collected by the Commander's Office would be returned to the 1,000 households that paid taxes.

The Commander's Office agreed not to tax the Mongols who grazed their cattle, but when they sold their livestock, the buyers paid a tax of 10% according to the transaction price, and the Mongols felt that they had taken advantage of it, and they were a little embarrassed, and immediately said that the cattle used by the army were wrapped around them, and the Han people in Bansheng still collected tithes, but it was determined that their income was to be discussed by the elders of each hundred households under the convening of the 1000 households where they were located, and the selection of those in their middle families was counted, and the Commander's Office also reduced forced labor, serving 20 days of public service, 10 days of hard labor, and 10 days of military training. Others, such as labor and training, are subsidized by the Commander's Office and thousands of households. The commercial tax is levied exclusively by the Commander's Office, and the merchants in Fengzhou are levied according to one of the 30 of the Ming Kingdom, and the entry and exit of goods are separately determined and the customs tax is levied, and the customs tax is determined according to the needs of Fengzhou, not the rate of tithes.

Ortai finally said: "The commander said that Fengzhou belongs to all of us, then everyone must also contribute to Fengzhou, and the Commander's Office will report to everyone at the end of the year, so that everyone can understand where the money is spent. ”

Everyone laughed and shouted "Dajie, we trust you!" "We believe in the Commander's Palace" and the like, scattered in a hurry.

Du Hongtai said angrily: "Yushan, what kind of messy people are these, we are like an official government, but like doing odd jobs for them, go back to your hometown and say it, others will definitely laugh at it." ”

"We are not the government in the first place, Yuzi himself said to let it be, what do you care about so much!" Li Huai smiled bitterly and asked again: "This time I entered the customs to suppress the thieves, I want to lead the troops, and go home by the way to see, Meng Qing, what about you?" ”

"I'm homesick, and I'll go with you." Du Hongtai's eyes were a little moist.

Li Yu's letter stated that the governor of Shanxi asked them to complete preparations for sending troops in early October, so the time was not urgent, and Zhao Ji, who was in charge of the army, analyzed that Fengzhou currently has a Flying Tiger battalion and five cavalry battalions, and Fengzhou should leave at least two battalions to watch the family, so only four battalions can be used, and the number of guards and troops entering the customs is a little tight, so he suggested that two more battalions be given to the establishment, leaving three battalions to watch the family and five battalions to enter the customs.

Ortai hurriedly shook his head and said: "We don't have so much money to raise soldiers, except for the four battalions that entered the customs, the two battalions of the housekeeper did not dare to assemble, only Ming Guo and Chahar around us have the ability to attack us, Ming Guo obviously will not move us, Chahar is weak and has no capital to fight with us, our men, women and children can all fight, enough to guard the house, and there is no need to worry about the army." ”

"Lao Bai, we will give you two battalions to enter the customs, are you willing?" Li Fugui suddenly asked Bai Xianzhi, and then added, "We can only give you the establishment of infantry, there are not many people there who have done cavalry, and we don't have enough war horses for you, but don't worry, mules, camels and vehicles still have to be given, at least let your people keep up with the march." ”

Bai Xianzhi cried and mourned, gritted his teeth and said: "As long as I pay the army, I am willing." ”

"If you want to go to Mingguo, I guess they must give us the salary of our infantry, and it is also a waste to give you war horses." Li Fugui immediately sealed Bai Xianzhi's mouth, and Bai Xianzhi covered his head and stopped talking.

"I'll lead the team this time, I'll enter the customs with Meng Qing, we have a good deal with the Ming State government, and there will be Yuzi in the customs to take over, and it will be fine." Li Huai said.

Everyone discussed it for a while, and agreed that Li Huai and Du Hongtai would enter the customs, Zhao Ji would stay to watch the house, Bai Xianzhi would have the title of deputy general of Datong Jingbian, and Li Huai would have to leave him to deal with Datong when he entered the customs, Liu Xingzuo and Ma Guangyuan had no foundation in the army, and they could only stay if they could not go out to lead the troops.

Subsequently, the Great Commander's Office drew up an order, the Flying Tiger Battalion Jida, the left battalion Qiu Xian, Borshu, the right battalion Terig, Asari, the rear battalion Kubai, Zabutu and other four battalions immediately assembled, the original middle battalion Zhang Chuanjie Department changed to the left battalion of the infantry army, and set up the right battalion of the infantry army by the former deputy battalion officer of the middle battalion Man Zhu as the battalion officer, the two battalions must be reorganized within five days, the above six battalions are on standby after completing the assembly, and make preparations before entering the customs.

The army of Fengzhou began to mobilize, except for the Flying Tiger Battalion, which needs to select and transfer brave men from each thousand households, the other battalions have two thousand households to supplement the soldiers nearby, and the reserve soldiers and battalion soldiers of the thousand households often train together, they are very familiar with each other, and the assembly will take less than two days, Zhang Chuanjie and Manzhu's soldiers are mainly the volunteers and soldiers brought by Bai Xianzhi and the Ming army deserters who are contained, these people are all singles, mixed together all day long, and as soon as the officers are appointed, the reorganization is basically completed, just waiting for the military order to enter the customs.

Li Yu's order was not passed on for a long time, but Chaolu came back from the old capital alone, and when he entered the Great Commander's Palace, he scolded Chahar Khan for being too shameless, and then cried to the three of them.

Wu Langha arrived at the old capital, Chahar hugged the little Ada Hai and couldn't put it down, and called the whole family, Kong Guoer finally had a younger brother, jumping and jumping excitedly, Princess Taisong and Tu Taiji both eyes were on fire, and said sourly that Wu Langha's luck was good, Wu Langha was almost carried away, and praised her man for how brave and her son was, and gave each family a piece of iron pot from Fengzhou as a gift. In the next few days, Wu Langha would carry Ada Hai everywhere every day, and when she saw acquaintances, she would give some small gifts such as scissors and iron needles, and everyone envied her, saying that she had married the right person, and she almost became the most beautiful person in Chahar in those days.

However, Chahar Khan didn't let his sister be proud for a few days, Wu Langha's mother and son were summoned by him into the big tent, Chahar Khan played with Ada Hai for a while as usual, and then said very seriously: "Wu Langha, Ben Khan likes Ada Hai very much, so he wants to keep him by his side, Kong Guoer has grown up, he also wants a younger brother, you go back first, you can often come to see Ada Hai in the future, my lark-like sister, you can rest assured, Ben Khan will treat Ada Hai as his own son." ”

Wu Langha was stunned, oh my God, my brother actually wanted to snatch his son, this is to kill her, she was stunned for a while, crying and went to snatch her son, several female slaves hugged her, Chahar Khan said with a red face: "Sister, I really like Adahai, Li Yucha is young and brave, you can also have another child with him, you leave Adahai here, Konggol needs brothers, I will let them become the masters of the grassland." ”

After Chahar Khan finished speaking, he held Ada Hai in his arms, and ran away with Kongol in his hand, Wu Langha was full of heart and gall, and cried all night in the big tent, Sutai Hatun and several Chahar noblewomen accompanied her all night, and the next morning, she ordered Chaolu to take three horses to quickly rush back to Fengzhou to report that she wanted to stay with her son, and if Chahar Khan did not return her son for a day, she would not leave for a day.

After listening to Chaolu's story, the people of the Great Commander's Mansion were all shocked, no one would have thought that Chahar Khan would do such a thing, Ortai slapped himself a few times, I really shouldn't think that Wu Lang Ha would come back, now it actually works, but Adahai is still a child!

The Great Commander's Mansion soon boiled, and the angry officials shouted and shouted and killed, Fan Yongdou also came in when he heard the shouting, and when he learned that Ada Hai was detained by Chahar Khan, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and immediately shouted: "How can this be reasonable, the people of Fengzhou can't be bullied by this, we have six battalions of troops have been assembled and standby, my lords, start a war against Chahar, my old Fan will go to raise military salaries." ”

"Shut up! Without the order of the commander, there must be no war," Li Huai glared at Fan Yongdou fiercely, the old Fan's idea of fighting Chahar was not a day or two, the Chahar people controlled the trade route to the Jin Kingdom and cut off his financial route, this guy and his group of Zhangjiakou merchants had already wanted to destroy Chahar, Li Huai drank Fan Yongdou, and said to everyone: "You must be calm, Chahar is still our ally so far, our two families are cold, Chahar Khan will not understand this truth, the most important thing now is to send someone to negotiate with Chahar Khan, Figure out their intentions. ”

Li Fugui nodded and said: "Yushan is right, although Chahar is weak now, there are still more than 100,000 people, and our war against Chahar will not only not save the child, but will also put both sides in danger, I think we will send Hezhou to the old capital." ”

Liu Xingzuo immediately agreed: "Chahar is not to worry, but Jin Guo will never give up the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, and Ming Guo also has to beware, Yun Yan is familiar with Chahar, so send him." ”

Yun Rong hid to the side with shame on his face and didn't dare to speak, and when he heard his name called, he lowered his head and walked over and asked in a low voice, "I, am I suitable?" ”

"Of course you're suitable, no one knows Chahar better than you, and we all trust you." Li Fugui replied.

"That's it, I'll go see Zorictu, don't anything happen to this kid." Ortai was so remorseful that he didn't speak, and then he suddenly got up and left.

Ortai took Jeddah and fifty heavily armed guards to the backyard of the Grand Commander's Palace, where several thatched houses were built, which was the home of Li Yu, Ulan and Wu Langha, Hadari and Richard were standing vigilantly in the courtyard with bows and arrows on their backs and swords on their shoulders - Hadari came back from practicing riding and archery, and when he heard the news of Little Li Meng, he immediately reacted - he must protect his Aunt Ulan and Li Jin's younger brother, and Li Fugui's stepson Brother Li Chago also did not leave his little friends who followed him closely.

"What are you doing here?" Hadari looked at Ortai in surprise, but his hand involuntarily pressed the hilt of the knife.

Ortai ignored him and shouted to Jeddah: "From today on, you will take someone to guard Ulan Hatun, and you will not be allowed to leave a single step, Jeddah, if something happens to Hatun and the child, you will cut off your own head." ”

Jeddah raised his head in agreement, and commanded the guards to spread the guard, and the small courtyard was immediately heavily guarded, Ortai patted Hadari's shoulder, and then entered the house alone.

"Big decision, Hadari said that Sister Wu Langha had an accident, is that so?" Wulan hugged Xiao Li Jin to the hall, and hurriedly asked Ortai.

Ortai took Li Jin over and hugged him in his arms, nodded and said in a low voice: "Chahar Khan is crazy, he detained Adahai, Wulang Hahatun has no children and refuses to come back, and the Great Commander's Mansion is angry and wants to start a war with Chahar." ”

"There can't be a war! Chahar Khan is crazy, we can't be crazy, send someone to Chahar, we will give them whatever they want, as long as we can let Sister Wu Langha and Li Meng come back, if it really can't work, we will first ensure that Sister Wu Langha and Li Meng are safe and sound, and the rest will wait for the general to come back. ”

"The Great Commander's Office has decided to send Yun Rong to envoy Chahar, and in addition, I will send Chen Erzhu to enter the customs to inform the Grand Commander, our six battalions of soldiers and horses have just been assembled and are on standby, if the Grand Commander wants to fight, he can immediately send troops to Chahar."

"Chahar has formed an alliance with us and has always gotten along very well, but now that their power is not as good as before, they shouldn't dare to fight with us," Ulan thought for a while and said, "Send Yun to ask what is going on, of course the Grand Commander will report it, but he will definitely not agree to go to war, this matter still has to be decided and the Grand Commander's Mansion worry more!" ”

"The Grand Commander's Mansion should do its best to serve his life, I left Jeddah behind, he was your bodyguard, he is reliable, the Grand Commander is not in Tumut River, you and the child must not have any trouble!"

"Uncle Ortai also has to take care, Tumut River can't do without you!" Ulan replied with a smile and a nod.

Despite the efforts of the Commander's Office to maintain calm, the news of Chahar's detention of Wu Langha's mother and son still caused an uproar in Fengzhou, and most people have no feelings for the showy Wu Langha, they still love the native Ulan Hatun, but Chahar Khan has gone too far this time, it is simply humiliating the people of Fengzhou, and the guards in various places are secretly preparing for troops, and letters requesting troops to be sent to severely punish Chahar poured into the Commander's Mansion - in a few years, Chahar has been left behind by the rapid development of Fengzhou, has become a paper tiger in the eyes of Fengzhou people, no one is afraid of them anymore, and the Chahar people who defected to Fengzhou are even more angry, they love Fengzhou without slavery, no nobility and cheapness, and love the great commander who saved them from a desperate situation, they want to be free and equal Fengzhou people, Chahar princess Wu Langha and the child she gave birth to is the most direct reason for more than 10,000 Chahar people to become Fengzhou people, but the Great Khan who abandoned them was so shameless, and the face of the Chahar people was lost.
