Chapter 299: Anxious Tanghis (1)
"Don't panic!" Zhiwen scratched his scalp, there shouldn't be so much difference, Surut didn't know that Tanghis suffered heavy losses in the pursuit of Tang and Zhi, and he broke about fifty men and horses, so that the gap was only one hundred.
"Oops, my mind is messed up when you are so panicked." Zhiwen patted his head, came back to his senses, and complained, "This matter is simple, I will provide food, you can just call some people here." "Having stayed in the Mongolian steppe for so long, Zhiwen also knows a little bit about the power structure of the Mongolian tribes and the origin of the soldiers.
Surut pointed to the herdsmen who were shearing their wool in full swing, "But I'm afraid they won't be happy." "The income from sheep shearing is not low, and he is afraid that not many people will be willing to give him his life.
Since Zhiwen and they exchanged grain with herdsmen for wool, the cheap "laborers" and warriors of the past have actually ceased to exist, only because it has not been a long time, and no herdsmen have recruited people recently, so no one has found out.
This point, that is, the Zhiwen of the initiator, has not yet had a sober and complete understanding.
Zhiwen thought about it and felt that it made sense, he could earn rations safely, and how many of them were willing to wield knives, he could have produced more food, but he was afraid that there would be too much, and there would be fewer sheep shearers.
"Forget it, you go to those big names in the tribe and borrow their guards for a few days, you can see how many people you need, and I'll help you with the money and food."
By the way, Xue Ping had to be notified and asked them to rush to the vicinity as soon as possible so that they could rush to help in time.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Childe, what Childe said, I'll do it." If Surut does it again, he will retire.
"What's the hurry, these things, it's not too late to do them after eating." Zhiwen shouted to Surut.
After the meal, Sulut wanted to say goodbye, Zhiwen thought about it, and suggested, "Since the soldiers have been borrowed, Lord Sulut, why don't you just take advantage of Tangis's absence, take down the two hundred guards he left in the tribe, and draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and when he comes back, he won't be able to turn the tables." ”
Surut's eyelids twitched, this kid is ruthless enough, but it is indeed a good way, without guards, then Tangith is a toothless tiger, unable to turn the sky, "Yes, Childe, we will act when we borrow soldiers." ”
"There's one more thing you have to do."
"What's the matter, just ask the child."
"You arrange for someone to spread the word, well, just say that you old men will unite and not only pass a resolution to cooperate with me at the tribal convention, but also get Tangith out of power."
Zhiwen's identity on the surface is a caravan from the Dalin Terrace to this place, although they are regarded as the same clan by all Sunit, but they are always outsiders, and they can give Surut money and food ideas, and if necessary, they can help him beat the stick, provided that no one can find out that this kind of internal struggle for power and profit must be kept out of the matter on the surface, so as not to make Sunit people feel troubled.
Tang Jisi suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, it is still the child's thoughtfulness, which can better appease the hearts of ordinary herdsmen." ”
Zhiwen nodded, "The sooner the better." ”
This arrangement is mainly to appease Muren, who herd sheep for Tanghis, to put it bluntly, to give them courage, Zhiwen wants them to understand that as long as Tanghis steps down, the successor will not be able to overturn the decision of the tribal assembly, even if he is still their family.
If Don Keith wants to take revenge at that time, there is no way to start, at most he does not want to herd the sheep and them, then the shepherds, not only can not retreat a step at the moment, but also have to shear the wool as soon as possible, so that they can exchange more food.
If they don't flinch, then the people who herd the sheep for the other herdsmen don't have to worry.
Although the news may be revealed and let Tanghis's people know, for the sake of the overall situation, he can't take care of it, as soon as Don Keith returns, the action against him will be launched, even if he knows a little in advance, he will be overwhelmed.
......
Dunkeith flicked his whip several times in succession, and the horse was strewn with blood, and he ran ahead of the front.
"Chao Erhong, who didn't save him when he saw death, was really an elder in vain." Tangith kicked the horse in the belly and roared loudly.
Their trip to the Right Banner of Sunit returned in vain, and Tangith was also ridiculed by the Right Banner Taiji Chaoerhong, saying that he couldn't even deal with a few bandits, how could he inherit the throne in the future.
The dusty money steward followed closely behind, and only after Don Keith had vented his anger did he ask, "My lord, this silver is not enough, what can I do?" ”
Tangith finally stopped torturing the mount, "No matter, gather as many people as possible, and we will definitely find out this gang of bandits." ”
"But Master Mandu Latu is still in the hands of the other party!" Steward Qian was taken aback, "Wouldn't it be bad for the young master to do this?" ”
He didn't believe that Dunkeith didn't know the pros and cons, but as a staff member, he had to do his duty to be reminded.
Tangith shook his head, "I have no intention of breaking the net with them, but if I can find them, it will be easier to negotiate face-to-face, and it will be more able to show my strength, and it is also a reminder that this group of people should not get an inch, a thousand taels of silver is almost enough, if they are insatiable, I can only fight not to kill Mandu Latu, but also to leave them behind, in this way, I may be able to take back some initiative." ”
"The proprietor's move is also feasible." Steward Qian nodded in agreement, "It's just that this move is not a foreign expedition, I'm afraid I can't say that the shepherds and lords will send their private soldiers." ”
"I didn't count on them," Dun Keith clearly knew, "to recruit herdsmen." ”
"This..."Steward Qian hesitated slightly, but still said directly, "We don't have much food in stock, I'm afraid we won't be able to gather many people." ”
It's not about taking people to grab things, you can use the spoils of war to attract people to join, there is no oil and water, if there is no money and food as a reward, no one will respond.
The money steward is in charge of Dunkeis's money and grain, and naturally knows that Dunkeith does not have much silver, and there is not much grain left, and there is no surplus of goat's milk and mare's milk, and the people who help with the work are not enough.
Tangith had obviously thought about this question, and said helplessly, "Just use live sheep as a payment, those poor ghosts who can't eat must still be very interested." ”
When the money steward heard this, his heart moved, and he had an idea, "Proprietor, why don't you talk to the kidnappers, how about making up for the difference with sheep?" ”
"I'm afraid it won't work." Tangith was not optimistic about this idea, "Not to mention that the bandits cannot be found at the moment, even if they do, they will not agree." ”
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to give more sheep? ”
"It has nothing to do with the number of sheep," said Tangis, "as long as the sheep want to be exchanged for silver taels or grain, it is difficult to get outside the fortress, and you have to enter the customs, do you think they will give themselves such trouble?" Besides, driving the sheep will inevitably slow down the speed, doesn't this give us a chance to retaliate? If it's food, maybe it will work. ”
