Chapter 137: Repeating Travel
A soldier approached, and everyone else was trembling and cowering, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, but the person Zhang Han was concerned about had an extended neck, and it seemed that he was still urging the Mongolian soldier to hurry up in Chinese.
Fried flowers glanced at it, and saw that the soldier was about to use the knife, and the man's eyes were not closed, his eyes were wide open, dignified and powerful, and he couldn't help but praise: "Yes, he is a good man of the Ming Kingdom." ”
He pointed his hand, the soldier understood, immediately retreated, others still continued to move, after a while, more than a dozen people were killed, the turf in the field was full of black blood stains, fried flowers ordered: "Drag people outside the city of Quang Ninh and throw them away." ”
For the Mongols present, this was just a small episode, and these Ming deserters were killed and killed, and there was nothing to say.
After dark in the evening, Zhang Han returned to his tent and asked someone to bring the man who had been saved.
"Dog, so-and-so will die, and he will never work for you!"
As soon as he entered the tent door, the man spit in front of Zhang Han, and everyone in the tent looked angry, and Chang Wei said: "My cousin saved your life, why don't you know what to do like this." ”
"You work for the Tartars," the man said angrily, "The Tartars don't kill many Han people in any year, do you still have the hearts of the people?" ”
"We're not working for them." Chang Wei explained: "It's just to do business, doesn't the imperial court also open a horse market with the Tartars?" ”
This is a quibble, the horse market opened by the imperial court is Mongolia that does not violate the border with Guishun, and there is no horse market in the Mongolian departments from Liaodong to Jizhen, only Liaodong has a horse market with the Jurchens, and many Mongolians also went to Liaodong to trade, and the imperial court just opened its eyes and closed its eyes, which does not mean recognition.
"The kid's house is on the side."
The man's face showed disdain, and he didn't want to argue with Chang Wei, the kid, but after such a quarrel, the look of death on his face also faded a lot.
"Either way, I'll always save your life." Zhang Han looked at this person and said lightly: "Speaking of people's hearts, you can't go around this joint." ”
"One thing is one thing, I want my life, you can. If you want me to serve you and the Tartars, you can't do it. ”
"You're so hard-bold!"
Zhang Han praised it, and Liang Xing and the others on the side also had the same expression of appreciation on their faces.
Changing places, I am afraid that they may not have such a contemptuous determination of life and death as this man.
Liang Xing stepped forward and said, "Are you from a career background?" ”
"Why, how do you tell?"
"I'm also from a business background." Liang Xing smiled: "You can always see it." ”
"Fight Yang Yi in Xia Guangning," the man's face softened a little more, and said, "Where did the brother come from?" ”
"Originally, it was Datong Xinpingbao to play Liang Xing, and he was in charge of doing some business, and later he followed our proprietor to work."
Yang Yi looked at Zhang Han, his face was a little puzzled, Liang Xing had already mixed up in the industry, he was the leader of the industry at such an age, how could he be a guard for such a young descendant.
Liang Xing said with a smile: "The proprietor of our family is heroic and righteous, and the business is very large, if you know him, you will know." ”
Yang Yi said: "That can't help the Tartars." ”
This seems to be a dead brain, but at this time, when I look at it closely in the tent, this person is almost surprisingly strong, with knotted muscles and flesh on his body, broad hands, many scars and other scars on his body, and his eyes are shining with fierce light.
Zhang Han said: "I see that you are also a brave man, why did you become a deserter?" ”
Yang Yi said angrily: "Who the hell wants to be a deserter, recruit soldiers to fight Jiannu, we have a lot of people who have been recruited, but the food and salary are not paid, and the Shangguan also asked us to do private work for him, if you don't do it, it is abuse, this dog official is so hateful, we are not good to go out of the camp directly after we are recruited, Guangning doesn't want to stay, thinking that it is a detour to Shanhaiguan to mess around, but the result is not suitable and was caught by the Tartars, it is really fucking unlucky." ”
Zhang Han was a little depressed in his heart, as soon as the Ming Dynasty mentioned it, it was all these nonsense things, no wonder he lost the battle.
He stood up and said: "It's normal that you don't want to keep me here, in this case, the twisted melon is not sweet, I will send you some coils, give you horses, send you out of the Tartar realm, you can go to Shanhaiguan." ”
Yang Yi didn't expect to be dealt with like this, his eyes widened, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing that Zhang Han was about to leave the account, Yang Yi shouted: "My eldest brother is the hero Yang San, Zhang Dongzhu, as long as you mention his name when you go to Guangning, it is easy to do anything." ”
Liang Xing came out after a while, and said to Zhang Han: "Yang San is a well-known leader in Liaodong, as famous as Bi Mazi, it is good for the proprietor to be able to marry this person this time." ”
"I'm not making friends." Zhang Han said a little sullenly: "The world is going to be chaotic, and it will be troublesome from now on." ”
……
In September, the Inner Khalkha, in October, the Bahrain Ministry entered the White City, Lin Dan Khan did not see Zhang Han, the nobles saw a lot, the opening of the trade road, the arrival of the Ming Dynasty caravan, these Mongolian nobles had a welcoming attitude.
The only thing to worry about is whether Zhang Han really has the ability to cross thousands of miles and transport goods all the way from Daming to the vicinity of Baicheng.
After passing through Baicheng, it is the territory of Nenjiang Horqin.
Some of the books that Zhang Han has read are gradually becoming clear at this time, the front of him is already fertile for thousands of miles, the black soil of the Songnen Plain in the later generations is in front of him, the dense forests and rivers are continuous, the scenery here is completely different from the pure grassland, the land is fertile and can pinch out the oil, although it is early winter, but it is obvious that any crop grows very luxuriantly, and from time to time there are all kinds of dried fruits that fall in autumn in the woodland, although the Jurchens and some Mongolians keep picking in autumn, These dried fruits are still not endless, and they are all over the ground.
Animals that do not hibernate are also very fat, and they are not very afraid of humans, after all, this land is still dominated by Mongolians, and there are some unnaturalized Jurchens, and the population is too small to be mentioned.
"It's a nice place." Chang Wei still has the temperament of a teenager, and said with bright eyes: "I just saw the big white fish in the river jumping all the time, all of them are big and fat, one is afraid that it will not weigh five or six catties, and the roe deer is very stupid, and he will hit it when he throws a stick." ”
Along the way, the thirty or so people originally carried three carts, but when they arrived at a place with many woodlands and rivers, the carts were obviously not very useful, and they stayed in the pastures behind them, and everyone carried dry food on horses, and lived a very nourishing life by hunting and fishing every day. Many places are hilly and undulating, the shrubs are luxuriant, there is no path that even the herdsmen step out of on horseback, there are many woodlands, many rivers, there is no road to open up, you have to continue to go northeast, there are the old roads of the Nuer Gandusi in those years, there are also the old cities and official roads left by the Liao and Jin dynasties, but from the Bahrain Department to the core area of Horqin, the land along the way is extremely fertile, lonely and uninhabited, here is the famous granary of the whole of China later, but at this time, it is such a scene.
Liang Xing sighed and said: "How can Datong have such a good place, if this river is outside our Xinping Fort, the fish would have been fished out long ago." ”
Jiang Kui's eyes also had a strange light, such a good thing was really exciting.
Li Dongxue smiled at Chang Wei and said, "Young Master Wei, you might as well take off your clothes and go down to fish for fun." ”
Chang Wei pouted and said, "You treat me as stupid...... I'll use my hands to fish it later. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhang Han also laughed.
Li Laibin squatted on the ground, holding the black soil in his hand and sniffing it between his nose, when he did this action, the intoxicated look on the face of the deputy head of this brave dart division, when Zhang Han saw it, he felt that Li Laibin's face was quite religious, if he made this expression and appearance to be a priest, it is estimated that he could also charm many believers.
The rest of the farmer-born dart masters are not much better, the land here has not been developed, the vegetation is well maintained, the humus has not been washed away by rain and floods, and it has not been cultivated.
Li Laibin said excitedly: "I'm afraid this land can be ripened three times a year!" ”
Li Zhiye nodded in Nanyin on the side and said: "Water is good, this place is not said to be the extreme north, you can actually grow rice, I'm afraid of the cold!" ”
Duo'er said at this time: "You guys, look at what you are doing here, we didn't come to Tuntian with the proprietor!" ”
Li Laibin said: "You Tartar knows a bird. ”
Everyone traveled thousands of miles all the way, fighting the enemy together, and the dart master and the night guards talked more casually.
……
After walking for a few more days, the regional form of the grassland and woodland characteristics became more and more obvious, and at the same time, they also walked to the core periphery of Horqin, a team of armored Mongolian soldiers ushered in, and several armored cavalry sent by the Bahrain Department contacted them, and after making it clear, Zhang Han and others were able to continue to move forward.
Along the way, there were many felt bags, cattle and sheep were gathered, shepherds wore fur coats to pick up dried fruits in the grasslands and forests, and it was early winter, and people were still desperately stocking up on food.
Many herdsmen rode horses with bows and arrows on their backs, shooting prey everywhere, and when Zhang Han and his family passed by the Mongol felt bags, they found that people were using the method of smoking and roasting to store meat, and in addition, to make furs.
Sheepskin, cowhide, deerskin, as well as fox skin, wolf skin, rabbit skin, these skins were kept by the shepherds themselves, and most of them were collected together by the Taiji.
Wang Ming'an drew a simple map along the way, and at this time he had rare free time, and couldn't help but say: "It's really a waste of good things." ”
Liang Xing said with a smile on the side: "It's expensive to leave home, this thing is about the same as the cabbage we grow, this vegetable is a good thing here, and the skin is a good thing to us." ”
Chang Wei said: "So businessmen should communicate with each other!" ”
These people were talking and chatting, and Zhang Han was mostly listening quietly on the side, occasionally smiling and laughing, and then high-fived and praised: "What Chang Wei said is very true, the meaning of businessmen lies in this." ”
Wang Ming'an said: "At the beginning of my stay in Beijing, most of the merchants were imperial merchants and official shops, and they were the most capable in the city, and there were some money shops and silver shops, which were mostly opened by relatives and eunuchs, so they had no good impression of the merchants, and they followed the proprietor all the way, so they knew what the real businessmen were like, and they were respected. ”
This drawing master is a little sour, he was incompatible with Zhang Han and others before, and now he can be regarded as a dishonest with words.
Zhang Han smiled when he heard this, but listened to Wang Ming'an say again: "Jingshi Baohe shop sells hundreds of thousands of skins a year, and it has always been the home of the big eunuch as this official store, and the skins are sold throughout the north, and the number is far from enough for the people. ”
