Chapter 353: Selection

"You can't win, you can't win at all!"

Taiji, a small tribe, shouted...... He only had about a hundred people left to follow, they followed Bu Nang and Su Nang out to fight the grass valley, nearly three hundred people came out, most of them died and ran away, and now more than a dozen people have died, and almost half of the herdsmen in the tribe are dead, this little Taiji felt that this battle could not be fought anyway, he shouted and pulled his horse and ran first, and then his people followed, and more than 100 people ran east from the flank.

If someone runs first, the whole formation will be chaotic, and there will be heavy casualties, and this car battalion will have to take a lot of lives to fill it, and it may be possible to break the formation with a thousand deaths, but the question is who is willing to be one of the thousands of people? Everyone wants to live, others break the formation, and make their own contributions, but when everyone is like this, no one is willing to sacrifice at all.

The problem of the Mongols at this time was the lack of training in peacetime, and the nobles did not want to make progress after believing in the Yellow Sect, and the herdsmen gradually degenerated into peasants who could only ride horses, which not only reduced the power of bows and arrows, but also degraded their confidence and courage, and more fatally they were completely undisciplined, and could only fight with the wind, and could not reverse the situation.

Bu Nang and Su Nang are also running, their faces are already dead gray, this run is chaotic, and the people who have finally collected it will definitely have to run away a lot, the key is that the cattle, sheep and horses have all run away, even if they gather thousands more people back, the foundation will almost be lost.

There is almost nothing left in the cloth sac, and the Su sac originally had the foundation of the bansheng ground, but it can be heard from the shouting on the other side just now, and the other party will not let go of those Bansheng land that belong to the Su sac...... The rules on the grassland are like this, the two fight for life and death, whoever wins will get everything from the loser, just like Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan, the two began to fight from Liaodong, Lin Dan Khan couldn't fight, and moved west with his troops, and then Huang Taiji came to fight again, fighting for the position of the Mongolian co-owner, Lin Dan Khan couldn't fight, died of illness in the Ordos Department, as soon as he died, his hundreds of thousands of people and many wives and concubines rushed to return to Huang Taiji!

The Mongols believe in this truth, the strong are respected, words are false, all benevolence and virtue are false, and the force of the strong is the most respectable thing!

If the Ming army comes to fight for Bansheng City and Bansheng Land, of course the ministries will not allow it, which involves the face of Mongolia and is a matter of contention between the two countries, but if it is Heyusheng who comes to grab Bansheng Land, it is two different things.

And Yusheng is a friendly force that has been allied, although it is a Han people, but there has always been no shortage of Han merchants on the grassland, each ministry has tacit regulations, the interests of the Han merchants are relatively protected, if all the ministries are vying to rob the Han merchants, who will dare to go to the grassland to do business in the future?

"It's over, you're done, I'm finished, the inheritance left by my ancestors has been ruined by me, a loser!" On horseback, Su Nan held the reins with one hand, pulled his beard regardless of the image, and howled and cried.

"Don't worry, we can't just leave it at that!" In the eyes of the cloth bag, there is a raging fire.

……

At dusk on May 20, Zhang Han and his party finally arrived at Sun's house in Dongshan.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement along the way, and even the nearby valleys were sparsely populated with people standing all the way, and many people cheered and waved to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han didn't take a car, but rode on horseback and looked at the verdant mountains and the dense crowd around him, and he felt proud in his heart.

Li Shenming also rode a horse side by side with Zhang Han, and he said sincerely: "There are more and more miners around, Lingqiu has attracted tens of thousands of nearby Dingkou and their families, at least 100,000 people rely on Wenlan to live, and they are not bad, this is all a matter of great benevolence." ”

The miners and their families live in the mining area or in the villages and towns under the mine, and it can be seen from the houses that most of them are very well repaired and have beautiful thatched houses, but the tiled houses are also obviously increasing, because of the relationship between the planning and the law, the houses are not messy, looking in good order, people's faces are mostly filled with happy smiles, many children are wearing new clothes and running around at the entrance of the village to see the excitement, Zhang Han's attachΓ© brought a lot of sugar, distributed it to these children everywhere, and at dusk, the greeting team followed by hundreds of people.

"In the past two years, because pig iron and iron have sold well, in addition to the Zunhua Iron Yard will also build a furnace and divert some personnel, Lingqiu will still maintain the status of our pig iron base." Zhang Han said to Li Shenming: "In the next three to five years, there may be thousands of blast furnaces, two or three hundred thousand miners, a year to produce 50 million catties or more pig iron, at least the entire northern nine sides to the Central Plains, Shandong, northern Jiangsu, Huaibei, the pig iron market in these places, I want it all." ”

"In five years, there may be hundreds of thousands of people begging for work under you, and millions of people along with their families." Li Shenming shook his head and said with a smile: "Even Tao Zhugong was far inferior to you back then." ”

"It's a good time to catch up." Zhang Han laughed.

Now is indeed a good time, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the control of the court over the people was simply extremely weak, after all, it was the end of the dynasty, and a bunch of headaches were waiting for those bigwigs in the center, how could they take care of anything else? Commerce is indeed liberalized, from the Longwan after the opening of the sea to the control of commerce relaxed, the Ming court also strengthened the collection of tariffs and commercial taxes, Wanli to the Apocalypse is a watershed, the apocalypse years of miscellaneous commercial tax revenue reached more than one million scale, which is unimaginable in the early and middle Ming Dynasty is unimaginable huge income, the imperial court's control over merchants to the minimum, this is difficult to imagine in the early Ming Dynasty, if it is not for the imperial merchants, political and business collusion, it is difficult for businessmen to do this.

Everyone is in a very good mood, Han Qi has gone, Chang Wei from Qingcheng sent back the news, and once again crossed the remnants of Su Nang and Bu Nang, it is estimated that these two people have at most two or three thousand remnants of the tribesmen, and they almost do not pose a real threat to He Yusheng, the governor has also changed his own people, and his influence in the court is also increasing day by day, and the business is thriving, Zhang Han welcomed his relatives again, everyone's mood was very relaxed, and everyone's face was full of smiles.

"Brother Xiaozheng, I've worked hard for you for a while." When they arrived at the gate of the Dongshan Club, Sun Jingting and others greeted him outside, Zhang Han hurriedly dismounted and greeted Sun Jingting with a smile.

The scale of the Dongshan Club has also expanded a lot compared to before, and many places have been renovated, because He Yusheng took the lead, coupled with the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, the treatment of miners in various mines has increased a lot, but the best treatment of miners is still with Yusheng Iron Field, followed by Dongshan Club.

Sun Jingting smiled and waved his hands, and many shareholders of the Dongshan Club beside him hugged him, with flattering smiles on their faces, and they hugged up one by one to greet Zhang Han.

Sun Anle and others were originally created for the miners to create this meeting, now it is a lifetime of wishes have been satisfied, and even beyond, the original shareholders also have a lot of things in the Chamber of Commerce, they also have people in the Chamber of Commerce share capital, in recent years, pig iron almost out of how much to sell, sales more than many times before, the usual Lingqiu iron is mostly only sold in Shanxi and Datong, because of transportation and other reasons are not too far, occasionally there are Li Guobin such a big broker to come, but also the iron price is very low, Because of the cost and tax card expenses along the way, now Lingqiu Iron has become the face of the North Railway, the quality and price are not below the Fujian Railway, and the sales volume has increased dozens of times, and it will only increase, in this case, everyone's gratitude to Zhang Han is also out of the bottom of their hearts.

"Your father-in-law wanted to come out to greet you today." After everyone saw the ceremony, Ma Hua took a step forward and said with a smile: "This can be stopped by us, and he has to stay in the hall today no matter what." ”

The Sun family's struggle for the title of a flat wife is nothing more than Zhang Han's recognition of Sun Anle's relatives, if it is a concubine, Sun Anle is not even a father-in-law, and this face is too big.

"Of course, it can't be done." Zhang Han replied quietly, nodded and smiled at Li Dayong and the others.

"There is also the county lord among the guests." Sun Jingting stepped forward and said, "Go see him first?" ”

"Well, he's already chosen the Imperial History, right?"

"It's done."

"Good."

Zhang Han and Sun Jingting looked at each other and smiled, and Zhang Han's face showed a look of satisfaction.

These things are all handled by Li Guobin and Wang Faxiang in Beijing, and now they are all taking the path of the Donglin Party, and the cost is certainly not small, but the effect is also excellent.

Any faction will have loopholes to exploit, among the bigwigs of the Donglin Party, whether it is Zhao, Nan, Xing or Zou Yuanbiao, or Ye Xianggao, Han Yi, or Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, the ethics of these people are generally gone, as for Gu Xianzhi, Huang Zunsu and others are even more completely clear, no matter how much industry they have at home, or how many benefits they seek, they are still honest on the surface, but there will also be Liu Guojin and Yao Zongwen, as long as they have money, they can buy them to do things.

Of course, such officials have no ethics to speak of, but for Zhang Han, these people are the best natural allies.

On the way to the upper room, Li Shenming whispered to Zhang Han: "I heard that you told Jingshi to make friends with Husband Wei again?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Han said calmly: "Wei Zhongxian's power is getting bigger and bigger, we have to prepare in advance. ”

"In the past, you said that Donglin was going to rise up, and the forces overshadowed the rest of the forces, but I didn't think so at the time, and later I learned that you were right." Li Shenming shook his head and sighed: "This time, it seems that you think the Donglin Party is about to die again?" ”

"It's not that you can see that they can't do it, it doesn't seem to be the case now." Zhang Han Zhengse said: "I'm not an immortal, there is no way to judge in advance, but I have money, the best way is to burn the cold stove in advance, and do the work that should be done as soon as possible, so that even if there is a change, you can deal with it calmly, that's all." ”

"I wish the Donglin Party had been unlucky earlier." Li Shenming muttered: "Last time I went to Jingshi, I dealt with some of them, and I was really hateful, except that they are all villains, I bah." ”

Li Shenming, a long-sleeved official and businessman who is good at dancing, does not like the smell of the Donglin Party, in contrast, it is not as pleasing as the pure "villain" in the eyes of Wang Faxiang, a scholar and doctor, it seems that Li Shenming was really angry when he was in Beijing.
