Chapter 143: Ambition
Huang Taiji ordered: "Very good, Tan Tai, you go and welcome him in." ”
Tan Tai answered, turned around and went out, carrying a long walking bow behind him, and the tent was crooked, and the candle flame was also blown by the wind.
Huang Taiji didn't care either, and watched Tan Tai walk towards the gap in the camp through the gap.
Zhang Han and Duo'er Li Zhiye had already stopped their horses, Duo'er was in front, Li Zhiye was behind Zhang Han's side, and the two guards approached with Zhang Han.
At this time, they saw Tan Tai who greeted him, this was a very vicious and fierce Jurchen young man, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a bearded face, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, a tall and strong figure, and his body twisted lightly when he walked, not at all like the struggling appearance of ordinary people wearing heavy armor.
Duo'er saw that Tan Tai was holding an unsheathed tiger and tooth knife in his hand, and the knife light flashed silver, he snorted, and also pulled out the waist knife he was wearing.
Li Zhiye did not draw the knife, but he also carefully put his right hand on the handle of his saber.
Tan Tai's body has a heavy armor made of silver shining iron scales, Zhang Han knows that this is the standard configuration of the Houjin Swing Tooth Horn soldiers, this layer of heavy armor is made of fine iron, the protection against cold weapon damage is very in place, the white armor of Houjin is at most between two thousand and three thousand, it is composed of the elite of the veterans, at this time there is no Ge Bush Xian Battalion formed during the Tiancong period, and the swing tooth is still the first-class elite, Tan Tai has this layer of silver scale armor, there is also a layer of cotton armor and a layer of chain mail inside, and the weight of the three layers of heavy armor is more than fifty catties, This person can still walk freely and even leap like flying, and then Jin Bing is the strongest soldier in East Asia at this time, and Bai Jia is the most elite group of people in this strong army.
When Zhang Han looked at Tan Tai, Tan Tai was also looking at the three people in front of him.
Zhang Han doesn't need to mention much, this person has a faint majestic and difficult to offend the aura of a superior, Tan Tai can often feel this aura in Huang Taiji, and he himself wants to be awarded Niu Lu Ezhen, but he knows that his qualifications are still shallow, even if his brother is Yang Guli...... At least a few more years away.
Duo'er is short and sturdy, her round face is also full of fierce energy, she does not hesitate to draw a knife, her movements are sophisticated, her steps are steady, she knows that she is a veteran at a glance, Li Congye is a somewhat thin southerner, but it is not weak from the perspective of walking movements and reactions, Zhang Han, the proprietor of the Han people, casually brought the two out with such skills, which made Tan Tai a little surprised in his heart. conAd1();
"Follow me."
Although Tan Tai's face was hideous, his eyes when he looked at Zhang Han were quite kind.
He is different from ordinary Jurchens, he does not discriminate against Han people and Sinology, but has an inexplicable liking for Han people's clothing and food.
In fact, there are really a lot of Jurchens like Tan Tai, after all, it is one thing to live in the deep mountains and old forests without civilization, after being able to see what civilization is, they naturally yearn for many things, and like them wholeheartedly.
Zhang Han made a gesture to Tan Tai, and stopped the unruly and fierce Duo'er with his eyes, and asked Li Zhiye and Duo'er to wait at the gate of the camp.
The Jurchens only made a simple wooden fence wall, sharpened wooden stakes buried outward, leaving a small gap for entry and exit, a bonfire was lit in the middle, and there were sentinels on the periphery.
After walking a dozen steps inward along the campfire, the curtain of a tent was lifted, and Kurthorn walked out with the tall fat Jurchen.
"Welcome to Mr. Zhang." Kur smiled and said, "I don't know what Zhang Dongzhu has to say?" ”
Zhang Han smiled: "The matter is urgent, so I won't say polite words...... I want to cooperate with you and attack those Mongol soldiers together. ”
Kur wanted to see Huang Taiji, but Huang Taiji pretended to be a guard, he didn't dare to turn his head to look at it at will, at this time he really admired Huang Taiji's foresight, this Zhang Han not only came, but also came to move the rescuers.
Kuer pestered: "Why did Zhang Dongzhu make such a request? You are a guest of the Mongols, and we are allies with the Mongols......"
"Baksh doesn't have to say such things. conAd2(); Zhang Han said in a calm tone: "Those people were sent by Lin Dan Khan to kill me, if there is a chance, they won't do anything to you?" Killing these people will only cause a great contradiction between Lin Dan Khan and the Korqin tribe, and this result is of course what Dajin Guo wants to see, which is a matter of mutual benefit for us, I get rid of threats and dangers, and you can benefit from it. ”
Kurtang was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Zhang Han's words to be so sharp, leaving no room for direct exposure, and the few words he had prepared couldn't be used, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Huang Taiji had been standing with his knife behind Kuhl, and he had to take a step forward at this time.
Zhang Han smiled, he had already seen that this tall and fat young man was not an ordinary tooth-swinging guard, although it was obvious that this person was also very skilled, but the confidence between the eyebrows of the person in front of him, as well as the majestic aura between his gestures, showed that this person was usually a high-ranking magnate, Kurtang was already a relatively high-ranking minister among the Jurchens, and the status of this tall and fat Jurchen was far above it, and he might at least be a deputy general or a general soldier.
Although Nuerhachi hated the Han people, he also founded the Eight Banners, each with its own flag owner, but at the same time he also used the Ming Dynasty military system, from the preparation of the imperial to the guerrilla general and deputy general, the highest is the general army, but the general army to the guerrilla are divided into different levels, which is more complex and detailed than the Ming Dynasty military system.
In addition to the Belle brothers, the lord of the Eight Banners at this time is the chief soldier.
The general Fei Yingdong was first awarded the first-class minister, then the title of Zharguqi, then the left-wing Gushan Ezhen, and then the auxiliary minister, and finally the third-class general soldier, and only during the Huang Taiji period was he awarded the title of Zhiyi Gong.
Zhang Han guessed that Huang Taiji's status was already very high, but he really didn't expect that what he was in front of was one of the four great Baylors, and he was also the later Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, Emperor Chongde of the Manchu Dynasty.
"We're not in danger." Huang Taiji's face was calm, but he said with sharp words: "It's still a little worthless to kill and risk for you, after all, what good is this matter for us?" ”
The driver laughed. conAd3(); Zhang Han said: "My ability to cooperate with Jianzhou Wei is the greatest benefit to you. ”
Zhang Han has always spoken with a bit of a businessman's taste, mediocre and peaceful, and does not offend people, but at this time, he is also sharp in his words, and he does not give in to Huang Taiji at all.
Huang Taiji said: "Zhang Dongzhu said a little bigger, I have hundreds of thousands of gold supporters, 100,000 iron horses, how much can you help us as a Ming businessman, doing business is good, if you think too high of yourself, speak falsely, although you are a guest from afar, but I am afraid that there will still be accidents." ”
Even in the current state of war, many local merchants and gentry in Liaodong are still secretly buying local products such as furs and dried ginseng fruits from Houjin, and then secretly selling grain, pig iron, cloth and medicinal materials to the Jurchen side, and some merchants or gentry also sell intelligence to the Houjin side, and Houjin has always paid attention to espionage, and has planted a lot of fine work among the Han people, in the process of attacking Liaoyang and Shenyang, including Guangning, There are many things that sent fine works to buy the Han gentry and generals from all over the country, and there were many things to rebel and spread rumors to confuse the public, for Huang Taiji, although Zhang Han was an unusual businessman, he was just a businessman of the Ming Kingdom after all.
Zhang Han smiled and said: "It's useless for us to argue, it's better to talk about the facts." ”
Huang Taiji sneered: "Could it be that Zhang Dongzhu can evolve the heavenly machine, so that I can see the truth now?" ”
"No, we're prepared."
Zhang Han never fought unprepared battles.
This long journey, along the way to record the mountains and rivers hydrology, distance, road conditions, tacitly calculate the carrying capacity of the cart and the time to arrive at the ministries, as well as the Jurchen to Mongolia to buy and sell grain costs and distance, all kinds of data is very detailed, at present, with the transport capacity of the Yusheng cart, there is no big problem in arriving at Qingcheng and Harashen, within two thousand miles, each car transports three thousand catties, each thousand miles takes about fifteen days, every hundred miles or one hundred and fifty miles to set up supply and maintenance points, responsible for ensuring that the passage has been unblocked, The 2,000-mile journey will consume 1/2 to 20 percent of the grain, and eventually there will still be a large amount of grain flowing to the Inner Khalkha or Karaqin tribes, and these materials will be received by the Mongolian tribes, and finally the Jin can buy a steady stream of grain in Horqin.
Zhang Han affirmed that he would only use such a transaction method in the short term, one is that he is unwilling to contact Houjin directly, in case the news is leaked and will be targeted, and the other is that transportation beyond a certain range is far from being possible with the current strength of Yusheng.
As for the tribes along the way, they have already walked once, and it is just a matter of grinding down to build supply and repair points, and it will take a year or two to build them all.
It was an ambitious plan, and Huang Taiji and Kuhl were shocked after watching it for a while.
Zhang Han didn't know how Jin Shang approached Houjin for smuggling, but he knew that it would never be the method he was using now, and it could not be what he imagined.
Huang Taiji noticed that Zhang Han's plan was very concerned about the maintenance and repair of vehicles, and even stipulated how many wheels and axles to reserve at the supply and maintenance points, and at the same time, a number of craftsmen were on duty at each point to prepare, a two-thousand-mile business road vehicle does not need to go through the whole journey, a fleet does not need to change people, and can keep changing cars along the way, but it takes more time to load and unload goods, and divide such a long trade road into supply points of more than 100 miles, which can effectively ensure that the trade road is always unimpeded. Unless it's a continuous blizzard, there's no chance of interruption.
Huang Taiji remembered the previous information, Zhang Han traveled all the way, met with countless Mongolian Taiji, participated in banquets, gave generous gifts, and opened up the relationship between the high-level of various Mongolian tribes.
