By March 20, and seeing that it was about to reach April, the Horqin tribe and the tribes along the route finally gave in to the might of the Jurchen soldiers and sent envoys to show their goodwill.

In such a situation, Zhang Han's departure is logical, he has been delayed for too long.

After the year, I received several letters one after another, all from Qingcheng to Baicheng, then to Horqin, and then from Horqin to Liaodong.

At that time, Zhang Han was able to deliver letters at such a distance, and nothing else was possible.

The letter is very normal, whether it is Tianchengwei's Grain Chamber of Commerce, or Lingqiu's Iron and Steel Chamber of Commerce is normal, Wang Changfu continues to recruit manpower, Shangdao further increases income, the manpower of the dart master has crossed the 400 mark, the manpower of the mule and horse shop and the iron field is more than 2,000, plus the branches, now Zhang Han has more than 3,000 people, all over the province of Shanxi to the first line of Zhangjiakou.

Yang Qiu sat in Xinpingbao, partnered with Wang Changfu to guard the town, Zhou Fengji, Liang Hong and Li Yuchun were still powerful, and all affairs were developing in a favorable place.

The route from Xinpingbao to Qingcheng has been fixed, Zhang Ziming and other Han businessmen have built a small-scale business point in Harashen, and in Bansheng City and Qingcheng it is Heyusheng's own branches, exporting tens of thousands of stones of grain every month, making a profit of three or four thousand taels, as well as cloth and medicinal materials, ironware, making a lot of money, but the line has just been developed, the market response is not very large, there are still many Mongolians and Han merchants waiting for the horse market trade along the border, maybe people are like this, like to shop around, or walk around more, directly from a car, Even if the smuggling price is low, everyone must have a process of adaptation and acceptance, and with the expansion of the war in Liaodong, the profits will rise sharply in the future...... Zhang Han has returned to his heart like an arrow.

Nurhachi met Zhang Han at the Great Yamen and set up a banquet, but both parties didn't have much thought, and the banquet ended hastily. The Jurchens' focus now is on Liaodong, their targets are Kaiyuan and Tieling, and now it is Ma Lin, the chief soldier who has fled, and Li Ruzhen, the new commander-in-chief, who is guarding Tieling, is the third son of Li Chengliang, Li Rubai was impeached because of the defeat, and now he is at home.

The new Liaodong Economic Strategy has not yet been decided, the Houjin side has not yet received the wind, the two sides are still in a stalemate for the time being, the Jurchen side still has to lick the wounds, and the Daming side is dying.

Huang Taiji took Li Yongfang to send Zhang Han all the way to Hada City.

This can be regarded as sending hundreds of miles, walking on the road for a few days, Huang Taiji chatted with Zhang Han every day, and often rewarded Liang Xing and others, either ginseng or Dongzhu, there were also some captured good horses and swords, Huang Taiji's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see that Liang Xing and his gang were not simple guys or guards, but more like martial artists, these things he rewarded, even if Liang Xing or Duo'er had prejudices against the Jurchens in their hearts, they still couldn't help but be happy at this time.

More time Huang Taiji chatted with Zhang Han, inquiring about the situation in Datong and Xuanfu, Zhang Han felt that Huang Taiji knew about these things, if the Jurchens couldn't call, it was useless to know, if the soldiers were killing all the way to the door, they could block them without saying anything? He knew everything, which made Huang Taiji very happy, and his interest was always very high.

After arriving at Hada City, less than a hundred miles further is the boundary of Horqin, Zhang Han said goodbye to Huang Taiji: "Sibeile is in a high position, and there are many things at hand, so you can't go any further, please go back early." ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "This is also the place where you and I are separated, if there is a chance to see you again, I want to be more leisurely, let's only fish and hunt with Haidongqing." ”

Huang Taiji is also young among the Baylors, and he is quite like-minded with Zhang Han along the way, and he is sincere in his speech.

Li Yongfang said: "The master appreciates it so much, Wenlan, you might as well come to my Dajin side in the future, there is a good future waiting for you." ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "To tell the truth, this can only wait for Dajin to win the world, at least half of the country." ”

Li Yongfang shook his head with a smile, some people around Huang Taiji showed unhappy looks on their faces, Huang Taiji himself was quite happy, and said with a smile: "Zhang Wenlan is like this, straightforward and honest...... The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Kingdom, as Wen Lan said, are very magnificent, we have been trapped in this mountain, forest and wilderness, if there is a chance, we should go to the same place as a line, see what Wen Lan said at that time. ”

Li Yongfang joked: "Wenlan, the friendship of the landlord, will be exhausted, and I am afraid that when the time comes, he will have to be called the master like me." ”

"I'm waiting for the four Baylors to come." Zhang Han's expression was very calm, even a little bland, and only many years later did Huang Taiji know what Zhang Han's psychological curve was at that time.

……

After leaving Huang Taiji, Li Yongfang and others, everyone felt open-minded, and a feeling of depression was finally swept away.

Zhang Han also declined Huang Taiji's kindness to continue to send Tan Tai and Shu Mu and others to escort him, Shu Mu was relieved, Tan Tai was a little reluctant, but Zhang Han promised him that when the caravan arrived in Horqin, he would ask Huang Taiji to send him as a guard, Tan Tai felt very excited, his eyes were full of contempt when he looked at Shu Mu, and Shu Mu was as stupid as a pig in Tan Tai's heart.

At the beginning of April, Zhang Han and his entourage arrived in Horqin, this time Obataiji and others were very enthusiastic, and planned to invite Zhang Han to a banquet for several days, but later Zhang Han resolutely refused, and continued to move forward after staying in Horqin for less than two days.

After walking for more than ten days, I made a detour to Alu Korqin and then arrived in Inner Khalkha.

"There is news from Baicheng that the Great Khan has specially sent an envoy to meet Zhang Dongzhu, please wait for a day or two."

The fried flowers are still very enthusiastic, the white beard on the round face has not changed at all, and he sits cross-legged on the flower blanket, his back is still straight. However, Zhang Han saw an unsolvable concern in the depths of his eyes...... The Mongols and the Ming have been hostile to each other for more than 200 years, and they have never known where the limits of the Ming are, but this time the Liaodong war has made the Mongols see the rise of an extremely dangerous new enemy, the Jurchens of the fishing and hunting peoples and the Mongols use similar languages, and the level of bows and arrows is still above the Mongols.

"In that case, wait a day or two."

"That's right." Fried flowers said with a smile: "You also have guests here in the Ming Kingdom, let's meet you at the dinner party." ”

"Listen to Taiji's arrangement." Zhang Han sat cross-legged on the blanket and bowed when he heard the words.

The identity of the "guest" was soon known.

The person sent from Guangning, a civil official who did not enter the stream from the nine products, was about to serve in which yamen in Guangning City, and was sent to the grassland by Wang Huazhen, the senator stationed in Guangning, to contact the fried flowers, at the beginning of this year, Houjin and Daming entered a quasi-wartime state with each other, and the Mongols wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the soldiers reached Guangning, Wang Huazhen did not know what method was used to make the fried flowers retreat, and a crisis was resolved.

Because of this incident, Wang Huazhen was widely praised by the DPRK, the key is that this person is still from the Donglin Party, and the promotion of governor Gao is just around the corner.

Because of Li Yongfang's relationship, Zhang Han knows a lot, and for some things that are not very critical, such as the news that Zhang Han can get by contacting Di Copy, Li Yongfang does not exclude Zhang Han from knowing in advance.

After dark at night, dozens of bonfires were set up in the middle of the field, and Mongolian women with big faces jumped away in the field, and then the melodious music of the horse-head qin also sounded, before Zhang Han They participated in more such banquets, and they already felt aesthetic fatigue, after staying in Liaodong in Baishan and Heishui for so long, hearing familiar tunes and seeing familiar scenes, everyone felt relaxed and excited.

Fried flowers are also sent by old acquaintances, Zhang Han arrived in Horqin all the way to this trip, there is still gossip about fried flowers, Lin Dan Khan sent someone to chase and kill Zhang Han was also solved by this person, the Ming people in front of him are really unusual, under the premise of no conflict of interest, fried flowers do not have the shelf of five big Taiji, and Zhang Han told jokes, drank with each other's golden cups, and enjoyed the scene.

Inadvertently, Fried Flower saw Yang Yi sitting in the crowd, looking out of place and cold, Fried Flower stroked his beard, and said in surprise: "Didn't this person say let go after being rescued by Zhang Dongzhu, why is he here again?" ”

"This is a strange thing...... Zhang Han owes himself and tells the fried flowers what happened before and after.

"Strange people and strange things, strange people and strange things." Fried flowers stroked his beard and smiled, and praised: "Zhang Dongzhu, you are a strange person, that Yang Er is a strange thing, he is really lucky." ”

"I think he should cultivate a golden Buddha, twice his life." Zhang Han was relaxed and joking.

At this time, a group of people came from the side of the bonfire, no one rode a horse, led by a Ming official wearing a green robe, followed by a dozen or so guards dressed in Ming army, Liang Xing and Chang Wei and others had not seen a Ming person dressed like this for too long, and their faces were a little happy.

The man walked slowly, holding his belt in his hand, and the official boots on his feet were very thick, and even then he could see that the official was not tall, but rather short and thin.

When he got closer, Zhang Han found that this official's face was very yellow, his beard was sparse, and his eyes were rolling in the field, and he felt that he was a person with a very flexible personality and "will do things".

"Xiaguan has seen Da Taiji."

This official has a quail embroidered on his chest, and he is indeed a nine-grade official, but his official authority is not small, and he came all the way to the fried flowers before bowing.

"Lord Zhao, please feel free, please sit down."

Fried flowers raised their hands and asked the official surnamed Zhao to sit down.

When the other party sat down, the fried flower direction officially introduced Zhang Han: "This is Lord Zhao, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau in Guangning City. ”

Zhang Han bowed his hand, Lord Zhao was a little unhappy on his face, and said to the fried flowers: "Da Taiji, who is this?" ”

"Under Zhang Han." Zhang Han said with a smile: "If you do some business in Bansheng City, you can't go to the table." ”

"It turned out to be a Han merchant." Lord Zhao's face was even more arrogant, nodded to Zhang Han, and ignored him.

Then Lord Zhao's mind was all devoted to fried flowers, and he flattered the fried flowers very much, Zhang Han found that this official was indeed very good at doing things, but his vision was not very good, and he was not as good as the Mongolian feelings.
