Chapter 693: Old Decay

But at this time, this place has completely changed, Xiaoheihe Fort is in the center, surrounded by a few miles is a side pier or military platform that can accommodate dozens of people to more than 100 people, the castle can usually accommodate three or four thousand people, it is easy to become a commercial center...... Zhao and Rong's eyes were very poisonous, and as soon as he came in, he could see Heyusheng's plans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I heard that in the center of Daheihe Fort, there are already quite a lot of settlements around the military fort, and there are more people living in the copper mining area in the west, and there have been small villages and shops selling goods, and the central trading area must be a castle, with such an advantage, it is no wonder that it has attracted a large number of Han merchants to come in, they have been operating in the grassland for many years, and have a variety of business channels, as long as the grassland returns to normal, the original scene can be restored in the shortest time, and even many times more prosperous than before.

In the past, Han merchants only did business with tens of thousands of Han and Mongols, but now he and Yusheng garrisoned tens of thousands of troops on the grassland, plus tens of thousands of miners, tens of thousands of farmers who cultivated wasteland, and more than 100,000 people poured in at once, and there may be two or three hundred thousand family members in the future, hundreds of thousands of people will take root in the grassland, if they can subdue the Mongols again......

Zhao and Rong shook their heads and drove away this undeserved thought.

He looked around with hateful eyes, the neat streets, the crowd of people coming and going calmly and confidently, few people frowned or showed a timid look, the houses were all newly built, the scale was large, the whole house was inhabited, some merchants who opened restaurants and restaurants were already in business, Zhao and Rong smelled the aroma of wine and food when they came in.

There are a lot of freight carriages, more passenger carriages, guests of all shapes and looks in a hurry keep getting off the carriages, and Yusheng's carriages have fixed stations, Zhao and Rong are not very envious of other things, and they still feel a little red about this comfortable carriage, he is old, and he is no longer able to ride a horse.

A group of armored soldiers stood in front of Zhao and Rong, they were wearing a large piece of iron armor tied together, wearing a cyan cloak, the copper buttons on the gray military uniform were shining, they were holding their waist knives in their hands, and their eyes were blazing at Zhao and Rong, which made him very uncomfortable...... The soldiers of He Yusheng who were present should know his background, and of course know his identity...... The emissaries sent by the Mongols can also be said to be lobbyists.

"Can you please give me a push?" Zhao and Rong whispered to a soldier: "The old decay is declining, and it is really unbearable to stand for a long time." ”

Zhao and Rong knew that they would definitely be treated slowly, but two quarters of an hour had passed, and his back hurt when he was standing, and the people of Yusheng did not invite him to sit and wait, and the messenger of the losing side around him should be able to understand this kind of thing, but Zhao and Rong felt that the time was almost up, and his eyebrows were white, and he planned to use this to gain sympathy, so that he could stand for a while.

The soldier he questioned was a young man of less than twenty, and although his face was still full of disdain, he turned and went in.

"Tell him to wait a little longer." Zhou Rui, the attendant officer, said: "Your Excellency and Mr. Li are meeting people, so you will meet him wherever you have the effort." He's an old thief, and he won't be tired of standing for a while. ”

Zhang Han was indeed meeting guests with Li Shenming...... Originally, he was inviting Zhang Ziming and Fu Qingming and other Han businessmen to the banquet, not long after the banquet began, the silver ingot Taiji rushed from Jining Fort, Zhang Han did have a real friendship with the silver ingot, and after hearing the letter, he asked someone to invite the silver ingot, but after the silver ingot came, an unexpected situation occurred, which made the atmosphere of the banquet embarrassing.

The silver ingot looked embarrassed, lowered his head and cut the meat with a silver knife, and did not dare to show his face, Li Shi said with an impassioned face: "Of course I didn't say anything about fighting and killing people with the Beiyu, I have always heard that Zhou Yao likes to kill innocent people, but I didn't expect Li to be a virtuous person, I happened to pass by when I entered the periphery of Banshengdi, and I saw that they kept burning felt bags and killing herdsmen, and those who surrendered also killed a lot, and then arrested all the women and children, and heard that they were sent to the forts to work, and the men were sent away, saying that they were going to the copper mine to do hard labor." My lord, in the past, the people who plundered us in the north also knew what happened to those women, and used men as cattle and horses, and most of the Han people in the land of Bansheng had suffered this kind of hardship, why did we fight and act the same way as the northern captives? Isn't Heyusheng's merchant army a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, convincing people with virtue? ”

Zhang Ziming and Fu Qingming both raised their heads and stared blankly, feeling that this fat woman was really powerful, now I am afraid that no one in the entire He Yusheng system dares to talk to Zhang Han like this, even if it is a Mongolian Taiji like Xi Lingse, it is also a counterpart, and it is very polite to talk about Zhang Han in private, not like the premise is to be abused.

After all, Zhang Han has achieved success that is respected by the world, and on the side of the Eastern Emperor, the Imperial Court, the Northern Emperor, Datong and all over the north, people have different perceptions when it comes to Zhang Hanlai, but absolutely no one dares to ignore Zhang Han's strength and the power in his hands.

"I say......" said the silver ingot, weakly, "can you say a few words." ”

Li said angrily: "When he lived in our house, I talked like this, and now I have a high status, if you think I don't speak well, then I'll just leave." ”

Li Shenming stared at the side, this woman is really powerful, to be honest, it is not good for him to talk to Zhang Han in such a tone now.

Zhang Han looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't help laughing.

He said to the silver ingot: "When you were in the horse market, you looked so proud, but I didn't expect you to be a silver-like wax spear head who was afraid of your wife, I really can't imagine it." ”

The silver ingot's face turned red, but there was no way to refute it.

Li can be regarded as holding his pulse, because there are hundreds of women under his command who have been making shoes for He Yusheng, and Yusheng's military boots supply Li also accounts for a large share, so although she is not the wife of Silver Ingot, her status is the first person in the back house of Silver Ingot, and even Silver Ingot himself has been short of silver recently because of its rapid development, and he has to borrow it from Li's hand, he wants to take it directly, but Li holds the shares of He Yusheng, and Yusheng has the obligation to protect the safety of shareholders, and he dare not do this if he borrows ten silver ingots. Besides, how can there be a reason to rob one's own woman's private money, every time the silver ingot can only plead in a low voice, after a long time, it naturally develops a psychological shadow of fear of the Li family.

"Hmph." The silver ingot could only snort coldly and lowered its head a little more.

Zhang Han looked at Li Shi still with an angry face, he smiled, and sighed: "It's not that they didn't have a chance to leave, this is a war, it's not a child playing house, the winner takes all, and whoever loses loses loses...... Don't fight with me, I won't change my mind about this matter, by the way, call Zhao and Rong in. ”

When Zhao and Rong came in, there was a look of surprise in their eyes, he didn't expect Zhang Ziming and the others to be here.

Zhang Han pressed his hand and told Zhang Ziming and the others not to get up, and also told Zhao and Rong to continue standing.

The old man showed an obvious look of humiliation on his face, Zhang Han looked indifferent, and Li Shenming had a smile on his face, and touched the beard on his lower lip with his hand.

No one spoke, Zhao and Rong stood for a while and saw that Zhang Han really didn't plan to show him a seat, so he had to put away his humiliated expression, and said, "Old Zhao and Rong, I've seen Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Han said: "Back then, Wei Su called himself an old minister in front of Taizu, and Emperor Taizu Gao said, which old minister are you?" Now I'm going to say, what kind of old man are you? ”

Zhao and Rong Zheng, he only looked at Zhang Han carefully at this time, he saw that Zhang Han was very tall, first of all, it gave people a sense of oppression, in fact, Zhang Han usually had a smile on his face when he saw people, which invisibly reduced a lot of threats, making people feel that he was very kind to people, very affinity, and at this time his face was flat, his language was sharp, plus he was tall, and he had a saber on his waist like a soldier, Zhao and Rong couldn't help but look at the saber, the scabbard was straight, and it was slightly curved to the end, this kind of knife was extremely sharp, Zhao, Rong's originally boiling emotions were suddenly extinguished like a fire meeting ice water.

He bowed his hand and said, "In Xia Zhao and Rong, I have seen Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Han said: "What happened? ”

Zhao and Rongqiang said calmly: "I am not a lobbyist for the Mongolians, but I ask the adults to forgive the difficulties of the Han people who stay in Banshengdi, and God has the virtue of a good life, and I ask to leave them a life." When the inferior people heard that Zhou Yao's department was going to go straight to Bansheng from the front place, the Han people in Bansheng heard that they were restless day and night, and women, children and children cried day and night......"

"Please, no." Zhang Han said: "The direction of attack of each department's route is determined by the military department, and it cannot be changed for any reason. ”

Zhao and Rong were stagnant, this reason was found by Xi Lingse and others in every possible way, they had no way to attack the Shang army in three ways, and now they had to contact Mobei and Karaqin and the set of troops to come to the rescue, so they needed to delay time, and the safety of the Han people who stayed in Bansheng was undoubtedly the best reason, but Zhang Han refused with almost no room for negotiation, which made the words prepared by Zhao and Rong in advance completely wasted.

"My lord," Zhao and Rong knelt down and kowtowed, "Please have pity on the Han people who have risen to the ground." ”

The old man with white hair knelt on the ground, and any iron and stone person was tempted, but Zhang Han was still unmoved, and Zhao and Rong couldn't help but say: "My lord, the Han people who are so lifted to the ground will be resentful." ”

Zhang Han smiled coldly and said, "Master said: Repay grievances with directness, and repay virtue with virtue." If there is a grudge, but ask for a sword! ”

……

Soon after Zhao and Rong left, the couple also left Zhang Han's compound and returned to their residence.

Li said angrily: "Although Zhang Han's attitude towards us has not changed, his people seem to have changed. ”

Yin Ingot said: "I think he did a good job, he didn't harm virtue with hypocrisy and false righteousness, almost all of the Han people left in Bansheng now are White Lotus Sectists, they are hostile to the Ming Dynasty, and they no longer regard themselves as Han people, just by virtue of a Han name, I want to ask Zhang Han to retire, isn't it a joke?" ”
