One thousand and twenty-seven Fushun border city
In the middle of July of the first year of Longwu, Fushun Border City was reopened, and the location was outside Fushun Pass.
The news of the reopening of the border markets for many Jurchen tribes soon spread to the major Jurchen tribes, and the major tribes moved one after another to Fushun Pass.
When they drove their tribe's animal skins, animal bones, ginseng, game and other things to Fushun Border City, they were a little surprised to find that the Fushun Border Army had all been replaced, the Mingzi flag had disappeared, and it had been replaced with a black Qinzi flag, and the soldiers had also changed their military uniforms and put on a unified Xuanzi black military uniform.
With excellent weapons, bright swords and guns, and a large number of firearms infantry and cavalry, such a powerful formation made the leaders of the Jurchen tribe question whether Daqin is going to open a border city or to wipe us out?
In the past, although the Ming army was also on guard when it opened the border city, there was no such posture, right?
They were skeptical.
The officials in charge of the border city still seemed to be civilian officials, and explained their doubts, saying that this is a necessary measure for security, and it has nothing to do with attacking you, and Daqin does not want to fight now, but because of the repeated friction before, His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered that the border city should be strictly guarded when it is opened.
The official also said that Daqin is such a method, you can not come, but if you want to come, you must abide by Daqin's rules.
This is very polite, but it is also very tough, it is much better than the simple arrogance and arrogance of the Ming Dynasty officials in the past, but it is also quite annoying, but the situation is stronger than people, and the Jurchen tribe needs these things, so they must accept Daqin's request.
Daqin also stipulated that the border cities of the three major tribes of Jianzhou, Haixi and Donghai were divided into different time periods, first of all, the Jurchen tribe of the East China Sea who were far away came to trade for three days, then the Jurchen tribe of Haixi for three days, and finally the Jurchen tribe of Jianzhou for three days.
Nurhachi personally led a team to trade, and after hearing about this regulation, he was a little dissatisfied and very strange, and sent people to negotiate further without success, and the requirements of the Great Qin side were very clear, and there should be no objections.
Moreover, after this regulation came out, the Jurchen Department of the East China Sea and the Jurchen Department of Haixi were very supportive, and Nurhachi had to accept it.
However, Nurhachi was really worried that all the good things were sold out, and it was his turn to only have crooked melons and bad dates, so he sent He Heli to negotiate, and the response was that the things that Daqin prepared for the three Jurchen tribes were all the same, almost the same, and the quantity was sufficient, and there would not be a situation where one of them could not buy the goods they needed.
In this way, although Nurhachi was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only lead the team to wait, watching the East China Sea Jurchens first enter the Fushun border city to start trading, and then leave the Fushun border city one by one, looking quite satisfied.
After watching it for two days, He Heli came back to his senses.
"It seems that the Han people do this reasonably, our journey is the closest, and the round-trip is the most convenient, if we finish the trade first, and then send people to ambush on the way back from the Haixi and East China Seas, then these two parts do not want to leave, and the Han people have nothing to say.
But in this way, we are in danger, once we want to do it, and the news of the move comes, then the Han people are likely to immediately terminate the border trade, and we can't do anything, these troops are the best deterrent to us, if you want to wait for the transaction to be completed before starting, it should be too late. ”
Nurhachi also reacted, looking worried.
"In this way, this is the Han people trying to deal with us?"
"We only need to compare whether the goods in the western part of the sea and the east part of the sea are the same as the goods we can buy, and we can judge whether the Han people want to deal with us or simply want to maintain the balance between us, and do not want us to go to war."
He Heli made such a decision, and Nurhachi thought it was right.
For a long time, Nurhachi has not sent spies and undercover agents to the western and eastern parts of the sea, there is no impermeable wall in this world, what he wants to know, what can he do in one acre and three points of land outside Fushun Pass.
So Nurhachi accurately learned the type and quantity of goods purchased in the East China Sea and the western part of the sea, and was very surprised to find that there were still made spears, machetes, bows and arrows and other Han standard weapons, and also learned that the purchase price of the goods was slightly lower than the previous Ming, but the control was very strict, and there was no room for bargaining.
Both the East China Sea and the Western Haixi wanted to bargain, but they were sternly rejected and never bargained.
"Crafted ordnance? If this had been done in the past, we would not have been able to buy it through the border market. ”
Nurhachi was shocked: "We can only buy these things through the Liaodong Army, and most of them have been eliminated, didn't the Han people strictly control ordnance and iron in the past?" ”
He Heli was also very worried.
"If we don't have these standard ordnance for what we can buy, it's dangerous, the Han people may have colluded with the two departments of Haixi and Donghai to deal with us, everything before is a pretense, we have to be prepared."
After a moment of shock, Nurhachi's face gradually calmed down, and his eyes flashed with a little fierceness.
"I didn't want to do anything to Xiao Ruxun, if Xiao Ruxun wanted to do it to me, I would definitely not let him have a good time! Even if I don't have many soldiers, I have 30,000 elite soldiers! ”
Nurhachi was ready to fight at all costs, but when it was their turn on the seventh day of trade, they were surprised to find that among the goods supplied to them were a large number of standard ordnance, well-made spears, machetes, bows and arrows, and even armor.
Although the price is high, these are all boutiques.
Nurhachi couldn't take his eyes off the ordnance as he looked at it.
What a good ordnance, if my army could be fully equipped to this extent, I would have swallowed up the western and eastern seas of the Jurchens a long time ago.
This strange thought arose in Nurhachi's heart.
For no apparent reason, he thought of it.
In addition to salt and tea and some necessities, Nurhachi didn't want to buy many other things, so he made a final decision, concentrated on buying ordnance, and immediately sent people back to the tribe to exchange gold and silver treasures with Daqin.
What else are you afraid of with these things?
Haixi and Donghai are not prepared, and they must have bought less than me!
Nurhachi was very excited to think of this, he had the advantage, he had the advantage, and when he got the most weapons and armor to arm his army, he would be able to realize his desire for more and more.
Haixi, East China Sea, sooner or later he has to attack them one by one.
And what they did was under the watchful eye of the border city officials, who observed these people while recording their actions, and these records would soon be transmitted to the center of the empire as information and handed over to the emperor Xiao Ruxun.
