Chapter 254: The Horses Are in Turmoil
When the team of flag men drove the horses past them proudly, Zhiwen, in order to avoid suspicion, specially led everyone and led his mount back several steps, landing at the end of the herd to show his innocence.
It's just that his right hand is covered by other people, and he silently throws the gravel in his hand.
The target is the last tall and sturdy horse in the herd, with shiny coats, and some unruly big black horses, it is one of the horses that Zhiwen bought, after a fight, the horse king who was "promoted", as long as it takes the lead in the madness, the horses will inevitably be in chaos, and there are only more than ten people, but they can't control these hundreds of horses.
After persistent practice, Zhiwen is now much better at throwing stones than before, not to mention using a handful of gravel, which has a larger range and is easier.
In the sound of "poof", the gravel accurately hit the butt of the big black horse, but it was muffled by the noisy noises around it, and the flag people did not notice the abnormality.
In order to completely anger it, Zhiwen's hand was not less powerful, and the muscles on the big black horse's buttocks couldn't help but tremble when the gravel hit.
Sure enough, as Zhiwen expected.
The big black horse first let out a heavy breath from his nostrils, and then "Herod" screamed, and the two front hooves were raised high, and the whole horse almost stood up.
Then, the two hind legs kicked and turned on the rampage mode, rampage through the herd regardless of the situation.
It was the first horse, and as soon as it happened, some of the other stallions, who were not very obedient, were affected by it, and began to run with joy.
And the rest of the horses that were originally docile, some were frightened, and some were to avoid the madmen among these horses, changing direction and speeding up, and the horses were in chaos for a while.
More than a dozen bannermen and sentinels were caught off guard by this sudden change, and they hurriedly tried to pacify the horses, but the Jurchens started with fishing and hunting, and they did not have such tools as a lasso, nomadism was not their forte, and what they did could only be useless.
And Zhiwen and the others were at the end of the herd, as if they were leisurely watching this good show.
"Zheng Gongzi, how do you have such a head, how can you come up with such an idea?" Bargan said in a happy mood.
Zhiwen's move, they naturally saw it clearly, although they did not kill or injure a single golden person, but looking at the embarrassed appearance of these banner people, it also made everyone breathe a bad breath, and the block in their chest disappeared.
"Don't let your guard down, keep your guard," Zhiwen commanded in a low voice, "If these golden people are angry and want to capture us and others, let's grab a few more horses nearby, and then run away." ”
Although on the surface it is impossible to see that they have anything to do with this riot, who knows if these bannermen will be angry with them, it is better to take precautions.
"What's going on outside, why is there such a big movement?" A middle-aged man sat up, casually lifted the clothes covering his body and asked.
This man is not confused, and the money rat tail on the back of his head has gray hair, and the beard on his jaw is also gray.
However, the half-naked upper body is still very strong, and the right shoulder is wrapped in layers of white cloth, obviously injured.
"Amma!"
"You're awake, Amma!"
Two teenagers came in from outside the carriage and shouted in surprise.
"Even the dead will be woken up by this noise." The middle-aged man's tone was very displeased, but his eyes looked at the teenagers very gently.
"Amma, you've been in a coma for the past few days, but you've worried us badly." One of the teenagers said, "Put on your clothes and be careful of catching a cold." ”
"You Amafu has a great life, and you can't die, otherwise, wouldn't it be a wish fulfilled for some people." The middle-aged man sneered, and then asked, "Didn't I enter the Dajin Land Realm before I fell unconscious, how could there be so many horses running outside?" ”
"This...", the two teenagers looked at each other, speechless.
Although they heard the movement, they were well protected by the soldiers on the periphery, and no one came to report the situation, and they were worried about their father, and they didn't know what the details were.
"Humph!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "That's how you lead the army?" I haven't looked into it yet. As he spoke, he had already put on his coat.
The two teenagers ran out of the carriage with a roll, and after a while, they returned and reported to the middle-aged man:
"Amma, it was a bull of the forward, who forcibly recruited several horses from the Horqin Mongols, and when they drove them away, they were lawless, and the horses were in chaos."
"Forcibly requisitioned the horses of the Korqin people? Confused. The middle-aged man sighed, "The few people involved will each be rewarded with ten lashes afterwards, and the leader will be rewarded with twenty lashes." ”
"Amma, they are also kind, we have suffered a big loss in the pass this time, and the war horse has suffered a lot of losses, so there is no need to punish it so heavily for the sake of Horqin, right?"
"What do you know, it is precisely because we have suffered losses in the pass that we must be more cautious, what I am afraid of is not Korqin, but the former Sibeile, and now the Great Golden Khan."
The two teenagers looked at each other, not understanding how their father Amin, as one of the four great masters and Shuo Beile, was a person who could be on an equal footing with Huang Taiji in the court, how could he be so jealous of that fourth uncle.
Seeing that the two of them looked ignorant, Amin knew that this kind of thing would not be clear for a while, so he no longer continued the topic, and instead said, "Since we are short of horses, and we find that the people of Horqin have horses, why don't we exchange them for gold and silver, but forcibly levy them?" ”
"Amma, let..., you...", the two teenagers stumbled, didn't dare to finish the rest of the words, over the years, in addition to Dajin's own people will abide by the rules, treat outsiders, when will they be like them Ama today, and go to exchange with each other in an equal manner? It's not all about robbing when you see it, it's good if you don't kill people.
Even if it was the Mongols who submitted to them, the two teenagers did not think that there was anything wrong with such a way today.
"Elm pimple." Amin said angrily, "How much effort did it cost us to eat the gold and silver that we robbed? Can you wear it? Or can you ride? Instead of leaving it moldy, you might as well trade it for horses, do you two think those horses will mess up for no reason? ”
This man was old and mature, and even if he was not at the scene, he guessed that most of the riots in the horse herd were done by those Mongols who were not angry that their horses were forcibly requisitioned, and there was no evidence left, so that the person who made him a lot of money, even if he wanted to make trouble, was unknown.
"I'm afraid your time is running out," Amin said with some interest when he saw that his two sons were still unenlightened, "What I can do is to make fewer enemies for you, Huang Taiji's side Fu Jin Benbutai, but he was born in Horqin, even if he doesn't expect her to say good things for us, he can't let her say bad things about us." ”
"Go," Amin commanded, "bring some more gold and silver to the Mongols, and with their help the horses will soon settle down." ”
