Chapter 909: Severed
At this time, a military officer came in from outside, saluted and said, "Battalion commander, the Jurchens have come to ask for a meeting." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Chunniu said: "Do you want to see me and talk about something?" ”
"It's not." The officer said, "They specified that they wanted to see the regimental commander or Director Li." ”
"The councillor will be back in five or six days." Zhang Chunniu turned his head to Yang Sisun and said, "Can't you see them?" ”
From Karaqin to Horqin, the commercial route of this road and the trade with some neutral Mongolian tribes on the eastern front is in charge of a commercial director sent by the military department, after the establishment of the commercial department, although the status of the directors and the regimental commander are the same level or lower than the line, but all commercial activities are the responsibility of the commercial department, this director surnamed Li is one of the dispatched personnel, less than 30 years old, shrewd and capable, but because the area is too vast, Director Li often has to run around, not in the city of Grezhurgen is also normal.
"Call in." Yang Sisun was originally sitting upright, and at this time his waist was straight.
After a while, he heard the sound of bags and boots outside, and when people came in, Yang Sisun's eyes were fixed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in Mongolian: "It turned out to be you, Shu Mu." ”
Shu Mu is the standard Jurchen appearance, but also the image of a warrior holding a bow and arrow, his face is dark and slender, his temples and the beard on his chin are connected together, his face is full of wind and frost, his eyes are full of fierce and courageous breath, his figure is long, his shoulders are broad, he wears a sword at his waist, and black sheepskin boots under his cyan arrow robe, except that he does not carry a bow and arrowbag, he is no different from ordinary Jurchen knights.
"It's you, Yang Sisun."
Shu Mu also looked suspicious, and then showed a hesitant smile on his face, but this smile was too ugly, like a smile instead of a smile, as if he was trying to squeeze the muscles on his face away.
Yang Sisun was greatly dissatisfied, sneered, and said: "Lao Tzu is an old man who is an old man, and I am still a little happy to see you, but I don't expect you to be the same as when you were in Hetuara that day, so let's talk about it directly." ”
Yang Sisun put on a businesslike face, Shu Mu looked much more comfortable, and said with a straight face at the moment: "According to the decree of the Khan of Heaven of my Dajin Kingdom, since then, He Yusheng will leave this goods in Dajin Country and transport them away at the price, and then only accept grain for the goods, and collect some cloth as appropriate, except for these two goods, the rest of the goods will no longer be collected, if they are transported again, then He Yusheng will transport them away by himself, and Dajin Guo will not be responsible for it." ”
Shu Mu used the Jurchen words to announce the Khan's edict to show solemnity, and most of the people present understood it, and after listening to it, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.
At the beginning of the trade route, it was mainly grain, supplemented by a small amount of cloth and medicinal materials, and later the nobles of the upper Jurchen class had a stronger and stronger desire to buy, not only food, but also all kinds of groceries in the past two years, and the grain and groceries were still in demand for the middle and lower classes, and the expensive furniture of the Ming Dynasty, silk and satin, gold and silver utensils, antique toys, and even strange and clever objects from Europe were also available, and it was precisely because of the Jurchens that the trade route became more and more prosperous, and the profits were of course higher and higher.
If you just sell grain, how can you make so much profit if you make more than one million profits a year, and remove the transportation costs and personnel costs of such a long route?
If the goods such as groceries and luxury goods are cut, I am afraid that the profit will be less than three or four percent of the previous one.
Yang Sisun said with a cold attitude: "Shu Mu, it seems that you have become a cow again, and the villain has a good will." Do you know what a big deal you are talking about now? Where is Tan Tai, tell him to come to me. ”
"Tan Tai also gave Niu Lu Ezhen and went back to Liaoyang." Shu Mu looked proud, looked at Yang Sisun like a mouse, and said with a smile: "Even if Tan Tai is here, it's useless, this is the Great Khan's personal edict, and Sibeile can't disobey the Great Khan's orders." ”
The previous trade was established by Huang Taiji and Zhang Han, so Tan Tai and Shu Mu were responsible for a long time, the scale of the caravan was very small earlier, and the identities of Tan Tai and Shu Mu were enough, and later the scale expanded, Tan Tai and Shu Mu couldn't suppress the scene, Huang Taiji sent a high-level white flag over, he still didn't want to be involved by other forces, in recent years, due to the nail of the Thirteen Mountains, the Houjin faction has a high-level outside the Guangning Pass, and the trade has changed from the monopoly of the white flag to the management of the public middle school, although Huang Taiji has not fallen into any benefit, But he also lost the monopoly franchise of He Yusheng, and people like Shu Mu have always been very contemptuous and hateful to the Han people, he has been here for the Horqin people to play for the big people in charge, providing advice, this time the business road is cut off most, Shu Mu feels that he has always been attacked is also one of the important reasons, he not only does not feel panicked, on the contrary, he is very proud.
"You don't know it's a one-sided break, do you?" Yang Sisun didn't move, he stared at Shu Mu with strange eyes until the other party turned his head and avoided his eyes.
"The Great Khan's personal message, the Great Khan's personal message, do you understand?" Shu Mu pressed his belt with both hands and emphasized it again and again.
Yang Sisun showed contempt on his face, he said: "Your Great Khan is not our Great Khan, for us Jin Khan is not our lord, Shu Mu you said that the Great Khan's personal edict is not binding on us, but you have changed it into a treaty without permission, although we have to report this matter to Lord Zhang, but I must solemnly point out that you broke the contract before, and if we do anything after that, it will be caused by your provocation." ”
Shu Mu was taken by Yang Sisun's momentum, and at the same time, he also felt that the person in front of him was obviously different from when he met in Hetuala, and he seemed to have a more domineering momentum, and the tone and words of his speech were far from what he could imagine. At that moment, Shu Mu was a little depressed, and only said: "In short, you don't want to send other goods in the future, as long as it is grain and cloth, we will still accept it." ”
Yang Sisun nodded very seriously and said, "I hope that when we have anything wrong in the future, Shu Mu, you must stay away, after all, there was a friendship with Tan Tai back then." ”
Shu Mu was a little unconvinced when he heard this, he pressed the knife on his waist and said, "Yang Sisun, are you threatening to meet my big golden sword soldiers?" ”
Yang Sisun smiled and said, "I didn't say that, but if the trade is not cooperative, there may always be conflicts." ”
"Hmph, then wait and see." Shu Mu said angrily.
"...... Shape up or ship out. ”
The Jurchen people in front of them may be the general representative of the Jurchens at that time, very despise and hate the Han people, and always feel that the embarrassment and misery of the Jurchens in the white mountains and black waters before were caused by the Han people, and the Han people have carried out inhumane suppression and persecution of the Jurchen ancestors for 200 years, and at the same time they also despise the incompetence and cowardice of the Han people, because of the repeated defeats of the Ming army, this contempt and contempt have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to reverse.
"A Han dog is a Han dog!"
Shu Mu walked out of the house and felt refreshed!
Shu Mu had no regrets about the verbal conflict with Yang Sisun, he had never and could not get along with the Han people as friends, which was completely different from Tan Tai.
In order to better complete the task, Tan Tai will pretend to be friendly with the Han people even if it is a fake entertainment, and Shu Mu is most proud of the fact that he has never pretended!
"Wait and see!" Shu Mu saw a group of soldiers from the merchant army walking by, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: "When I take the Chahar Department in the future, sooner or later I will drive all these Han dogs away, and when the Great Khan leads us to attack Ming, I must cut off the heads of Han dogs more, and it is best to cut off the head of Yang Sisun's house with my own hands!" ”
After Shu Mu left, everyone in the room looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
This matter is indeed very big, Yang Sisun has already written the report in person, Tang Ma has been summoned to come, just outside the house on standby, as soon as the report is written, immediately set off, to deliver the letter.
After Yang Sisun finished writing the report, he immediately picked it up and dried it, then put on the envelope of a top-secret document, and handed it over to someone to take it out before he said with a wry smile: "I'd rather be Director Li seeing this Shu Mu now, this kind of news is submitted by me, and I am really unwilling." ”
Wang Yiji comforted him and said: "You should be reasonable and modest, it is very appropriate, adults know about it, and their perception of you will go to a higher level, which is actually a good thing." ”
Yang Sisun shook his head and said: "The battle of words is useless, if you want benefits, you have to rely on force, I am a soldier, and a soldier only believes in the swords and guns in his hands." Originally, the adults had emphasized many times that we were trading with Donglu and earning the gold and silver of the Han people that Donglu had robbed in Liaodong, which was nothing. There will be a battle between us and the Dongyu, who are the great enemies of China, not only the enemies of the Zhu Ming court. I always keep this in mind. But it's too early for a break, and we're not ready yet. ”
Wang Yiji said: "The main force of our merchant army has more than 40,000 people, which is actually worthy of a battle. ”
"Not really." Yang Sisun said: "In military science, the strategic side is the first. The main force of our army is far away on the western front, if the captives come to attack, we can meet with it, if our army travels thousands of miles away to attack Liaodong, the time and place are favorable, and the people are not occupied, how can we win? And with the Ming Dynasty on our side, we are still the courtiers of the Ming court, so we don't need to speculate, but we can also know how the court feels about us. As you can see, not only will the soldiers not expand the army, but the training of the soldiers will be stopped, and the soldiers will be used as people's husbands, which is an obvious example. ”
Everyone is silent, the expansion of the army for two consecutive years is certainly several steps up from Yusheng's strength, taking the Tumut Department and surrendering to Mobei, all backed by military strength.
However, the expansion is too violent, the action is too sick, the sequelae are also very obvious, the follow-up is weak, and the financial support is difficult, which is evident.
If it is west and east, it is not a convoy to the west, relying on a few supply points, although there is a gap in the horses, it is still a fast-moving alien army dominated by cavalry, and most of the eastern Mongolia is subjugated, fighting in such a vast area, and even reaching Liaodong, it is impossible to do it with the strength of Yusheng now, and the Ming Dynasty is behind, the enemy and I are unpredictable, and Yusheng don't say that it can't, it can be done, and it will not be for the imperial court.
"It seems that it's not just Chunniu who wants to go back." Yang Sisun sighed: "We will also return to the west, the situation in the east is unfavorable, the cost is huge, shrinkage is the most correct way." ”
Zhang Chunniu said at this time: "How is the Chahar Department? ”
"They're still going to move west." Yang Sisun laughed and said: "Lin Dan Khan is very talented, but he is surrounded by cowards who are very happy, the Jurchens are close to the elbows, and our reputation is not obvious after all, so it is so easy and pleasant to move west to bully us and Tumut and other departments, and even invade the Ming Dynasty, instead of fighting with the Jurchens." I think the war will break out in the future, but it should be in the west, waiting for the enemy to come and kill us on our territory, and it will be very lighthearted. ”
