Shooting Arrow Furnace Wood Cliff Cottage Mingzheng Tu Si Dan How Zakba looked at the official road in the distance from time to time, according to the time, the official documents should have arrived a long time ago, but this time it was delayed for a month and did not arrive.

Since Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu, the tea and horse trade was suspended for a time, although some tea can be obtained through some small traders, but it cannot meet the huge consumption of tea at all.

In the arrow furnace (today's Kangding), this tea is gold, more precious than war horses, Dan how Zakba does not know how why the demand is so large, anyway, every year in July and August merchants from all over the country flock to exchange the tea of the Han people.

In Tibetan areas, this tea is like salt for the Han people, because the Tibetans feed on milk and beef, there is too much fat in the body to consume, if you don't drink tea for three days, everyone is uncomfortable and can't stand it.

In addition to the large quantities of tea needed in Tibetan areas, Danho Zakpa did not know that more tea was being transported to distant Nepal, India and other places.

Tibet needs tea, and Mingzheng Tusi Danhe Zakba has the most scarce horses of the Han people, there are five or six horse farms in the Mingzheng Tusi near the archery furnace, each horse farm raises more than 1,000 war horses, plus other Tusi horses, it can be said that the Han people need horses.

In the past, in order to maintain the tea and horse market, he could say that he begged Han officials in every possible way, but these officials relied on the power in their hands to ask for bribes, and they did not ask for the hereditary Tusi position to the Ming court if they did not obey the slightest.

Since the ancestor hereditary Mingzheng Tusi, there have been six generations without the official title of Mingzheng Tusi, which can make Danhe Zakpa feel particularly resentful.

No, after Emperor Taiji conquered Mongolia in Qinghai in the last years of Chongzhen, Ming Zheng Tusi sent an envoy to the Manchu Qing to request annexation.

Although Yang Lin led the Volunteers into Sichuan and the Qing army firmly controlled the situation in the four (Sichuan), what was most needed to fight in ancient times was the war horse in his own hands.

Now he can rely on the horses in his hands and the convenience of his firm control of the horse market to make huge profits.

The old man said that the highest horse market was in the Southern Song Dynasty, a good war horse was more than 1,000 catties of tea, and now the world is in turmoil in the Central Plains region in need of a large number of horses, since this is the case, then he also needs to increase the price of tea and horses to 1,000 catties.

At first, everyone was still quite nervous, but in the blink of an eye, the price of horses increased several times, so would the young governor accept it?

Mingzheng Tusi Dan how Zakba is full of confidence, the Central Plains region lacks horses, Yang Lin cavalry is very few, in order to form a cavalry must need a large number of horses.

Now I ask the Han officials who beat the arrow furnace every day, but there is no conclusive explanation every time, and in the end, people are panicked, and some people even plan to betray Mingzheng Tusi Dan how to Zakba and contact the Han officials alone.

As some pot leaders said, this tea is indispensable, if there is no tea not only uncomfortable, but also no energy, if you provoke the other party to close the tea and horse market, everyone can not live at all.

Some people complain that even according to the calculation of a high-quality horse in previous years for 250 catties of tea, if it is sold to Tibetan merchants, it will make more money, and now the price of horses is so high, if the other party closes the mutual market, everything is a bamboo basket for nothing.

Everyone's opinions are very big, and in the end, Dan Zakba can't be restrained, so this day will gather all the 13 heads of the surrounding pot to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, everyone had two opinions, some advocated maintaining the original good horse in exchange for 250 catties of tea, and some insisted on 1,000 catties of tea.

Just when everyone was arguing, suddenly the housekeeper hurriedly ran in, pointed to the official road in the distance and shouted, after a long time, this Han official finally came.

Under the escort of a team of soldiers, Fu Yuanxiu passed through the four gates, and finally came to the gate of Muya Cottage, and heard that the heads of the thirteen pots were here, Fu Yuanxiu came to the top and sat down very reservedly, and a master in his thirties next to him took out the document and read it on the spot.

Hearing that the Han people finally agreed to exchange tea and horses at the price of 1,000 catties of tea for a good horse, Dan He Zakba secretly wiped the beads of sweat from the back of his head, and after breathing a long sigh of relief, he repeatedly promised that he would prepare the best horses and never let the Han people suffer.

According to the custom of previous years, this tea and horse exchange market was jointly organized by Dan He Zakba and Fu Yuanxiu, the consolation envoy, and the new Han officials did not understand anything, and all the work was in charge of Dan Zhakba.

After that, Danhe Zakpa was even more busy every day, asking the slaves to select the best horses, and on the other hand, screening the pot village and the toast leader to participate in the tea and horse fair, so busy that he was still busy on the first day of the market.

During the period, the housekeeper reminded that this year's situation is quite different, for example, the number of Han people transporting tea is at least two or three times higher than in previous years.

For example, these men are dressed up one by one, and some even carry brand-new bird guns.

Mingzheng Tusi Dan how Zakba was also uneasy in his heart for a while, and once asked that Fu Yuanxiu in person.

Seeing the other party's nervous appearance, Fu Yuanxiu laughed again and again, now that the civil strife in Si (Sichuan) has just subsided, there are many thieves in many places, and this tea horse is the soft gold of this era, in order to ensure the safety of tea and horses, of course, it is necessary to hire strong people and horses.

Everyone thought about it, and besides, there were many strong men in previous years, if he admitted defeat like this, wouldn't it be exposed?

In order to give himself courage, Dan Zakba also brought more slaves, thinking that if anyone dared to make trouble with the price of horses, he would suppress it on the spot.

On the day of the mutual market, the whole archery furnace around the three layers and the outer three floors were full of people who came to participate in the tea and horse exchange market, and Ming Zheng Tusi Dan how Zakba also wore the long-lost Daming official robe to the market, standing on the archway to greet everyone.

What was a little surprising was Fu Yuanxiu's performance today, he didn't get up after seeing Dan Zakba coming, but slapped the case a few times: "Bold Dan Zakba, are you guilty?" ”

Dan Zakpa, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked, raised his head and replied: "My lord, here, what is wrong with this tea and horse market, what is the fault of the lower officials, and I hope that your lord will know it." ”

Pointing to the toast below, Fu Yuanxiu said angrily: "How dare Dan Zakba still dare to quibble, you are ungrateful, you don't remember my Ming Dynasty's grace for hundreds of years, you actually took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and you actually want to calculate me."

Where is the left and right, give me this Dan how to take Zakba. ”

Dan Zakba was shocked, and before he could get up, he was held down by two soldiers, and the whole person couldn't move.

More than a dozen native soldiers who followed Dan He Zakba wanted to make a move, but they didn't know when they rushed out a group of officers and soldiers, raised their flintlock pistols from a distance and shot for a while, and then rushed over before everyone could react, two against one, and quickly subdued these native soldiers.

The Tusi and Guozhuang leaders who followed were shocked one by one, some wanted to turn around and run away, but more people didn't dare to move at all, not to mention anything else, the power of the several flintlock salvos just now was not much better than the legendary Shenji Battalion.

Some people are timid, looking at Fu Yuanxiu, who is full of iron, and he is throwing his hands away, hoping to let everyone go.

Returning to normalcy, Fu Yuanxiu arched his hand and said: "Don't panic, everyone, think about how this Dan Zakba is ungrateful, how can I let him down in the more than two hundred years of my Ming Dynasty and let him preside over the tea and horse market."

He actually took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and actually wanted to blackmail my Ming court, and Dan Zakba deserved it, and everyone didn't ask for mercy.

This official was appointed by the governor to punish only Dan Na Zakba and his henchmen this time, and other unrelated people do not need to panic. ”

After Fu Yuanxiu saw that the crowd was gradually calming down, he had Dan He Zakba tied up and escorted him to the market, and after affirming his guilt, he tied Dan Zakba and his henchmen to a wooden pillar and shot them to death.

Everyone was shocked, and some people also wanted to resist, but they were quickly subdued by the Han people who escorted the tea, and this time Fan Mingshan, the deputy general of the first town, led a regiment to make up his feet and come to the arrow furnace.

Before Fu Yuanxiu and the others made their move, they had already controlled all the key passes and seized the gates of the Arrow Furnace.

After hearing that Danhe Zakba and his henchmen were executed, his wife Gongkazhan wanted to lead the various pots to rebel, but before the local soldiers gathered, Fan Mingshan had already led the soldiers and horses into the Muya cottage and leveled the remnants of the soldiers and horses.

After that, the establishment of Kangding Prefecture was announced, and Fan Mingshan was appointed as Tuzhi Prefecture and Fu Yuanxiu as Tongzhi, with jurisdiction over the surrounding six Tusi.

The thirteen counts of Dan Ho Zakba were announced, and the six major horse farms under his jurisdiction were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the government as military horse farms.

Announced the reopening of the tea and horse market, and the price of horses was set at 250 catties of tea in exchange for a high-quality horse.

The other toasts were shocked by the sharpness of the firearms of the volunteers, and they were even more worried that the government would stop the tea and horse exchange, so they did not dare to resist at all.
