Seeing that the wax moon is about to end, the new year is coming.

Since Altan Khan, the Mongolian people, especially the Mongolian tribes near the Great Wall, have been more and more influenced by the Han people, and many customs and habits have been learned, and the Chinese New Year is one of them, especially Lin Yuan became the leader of Dalintai, and the Han style in the tribe has risen sharply.

Just when every household in Dalintai was dusting and sweeping, killing cattle and slaughtering sheep, and preparing for the New Year, a long procession, horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and carts were all over the place, carrying all kinds of bottles and jars of bits and pieces, dragging their families and mouths, and came to the Khan Court in Dalintai.

Sun Kewang and the mercenaries finally returned to Dalintai with their families, whether new or old, as well as the families of the Zhangjiakou generals as hostages.

Due to the large number of people and the people of Lin Dan Khan's headquarters, the original gathering area was no longer enough, so Lin Yuan and Zhiwen had to carve out a piece of land outside the farmland for everyone to live in.

Set up a tent, settle down, and prepare for the New Year, Zhang Xianzhong and others still have to make a fuss to get married, they found a woman in Zhangjiakou, but they still chose to return to Dalintai to do things, there is plenty of time, and they can also let the union see their sincerity.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things that are noisy, and they don't stop until the Lantern Festival passes.

Zhiwen is free at this time, free up his hands to discuss meritorious deeds, a total of twenty-one mercenary groups on this trip to Zhangjiakou, Zhiwen has the intention to complete, all of them let them do the Tianzi mercenary group, and the two mercenary groups of Qunfa and Caixian are impressively listed.

At the same time, it was announced that each Tianzi mercenary group could command twenty local mercenary groups, which were considered their vassals.

As for the quota of these twenty dignitaries, it is up to the Tianzi mercenary group to choose by themselves, of course, if something happens to the tertigraphic mercenary group, the Tianzihao under its command will be implicated.

The dividends that the trade union distributes to the Tianzi number are also determined by themselves, and whether they will be distributed to the local number or not.

In order to win over the hearts of the people, Zhiwen distributed half of the dividends that will only be issued at the end of next year in advance, mainly grain, green salt, cloth, and weapons and armor such as Zou Qun's mortgage, plus a small amount of silver, which is equivalent to silver taels, and each mercenary group has almost 20,000 taels of input, plus the rewards they received in Zhangjiakou, it is really a rich harvest.

This big gesture made the mercenaries of Tianzihao beaming, even the herdsmen of Dalintai were a little envious, and the rest of the mercenary group was completely red-eyed, and the mercenary leaders changed their methods to find someone to match, wanting to climb to Tianzihao.

For example, Zou Qun, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others became fragrant and sweet for a while, and people feasted every day, but before they drank a few drinks, the trade union posted a paper order.

Before the end of January, the Tianzi mercenary group should prepare the goods and manpower, and together with the trade union, go to the east.

Zhang Xianzhong and the others were busy again, first of all, they must have replenished the stock, mainly food, plus some other necessities, all of which were to find a trading company to go on credit first.

There is no need to worry about the goods in the trading company, and there are small caravans that keep transporting them from the Kannai as if the ants are moving, and after the autumn grain is harvested in Darintai, there is no need to worry about the grain.

The upper limit of the goods taken by the Tianzi mercenary group is ten times that of the collateral items, which is another benefit for them.

The second is to recruit people, striking iron also needs its own hardness, after becoming a Tianzi mercenary group, it is imperative to expand the scale, more people can make more money, and only then can the local mercenary group be suppressed.

After getting the rewards and dividends, money, food and property are not a problem, but this thing is not something that can be done in a while, not only ability, temperament, and loyalty need to be considered, but the manpower of Dalintai is also a little insufficient, and I am afraid that I need to go back to the customs to solicit.

The mercenary groups of Tianzi had to be divided into two, the main force marched eastward, leaving a small group of people to recruit people and vassals, like Cai Xian, that is, Zhang Xianzhong walked with people outside, Luo Ru stayed, and the group sent Hao Qing to call the shots in Dalintai.

On the first day of the second lunar month, when everything was done, a huge convoy marched from Dalintai to the east facing the rising sun.

This is a caravan that is larger than the scale of the eight grain merchants such as the Fan clan at the beginning, the number of people is more than four thousand, although the time is urgent, the Tianzihao mercenary group did not make up the quota of twenty vassal corps, but it still recruited as little as one, as many as four or five vassal mercenary groups.

These are all good friends with them, use it to rest assured, as for the manpower, the gap is not big at this time, and the number of people is so much.

The goods are also staggering, there are more than 500 truckloads of grain alone, and each cart can weigh more than 500 catties on average.

Zhiwen asked those mercenary groups that looked like horse thieves to be the forwards, and to inquire for information, and the mercenary groups from border soldiers were kept as the Chinese army, and the riding skills were not good enough, so they guarded the rear.

In addition to the mercenaries, Zhiwen himself brought three hundred members of the team, all of whom came from Zhuolu Mountain with Xue Ping and Li Dingguo, and the trading company itself brought goods.

"Brother Liu, you have to be mentally prepared, this time we will go east to Liaodong, the team will only go around them, and they will not go deep, if you want to find Uncle Liu, I am afraid it will be difficult." Zhiwen rode on the back of an ordinary yellow horse and said that he deeply understood the greed of the Jurchens, but he didn't dare to show off with Dabai.

On this trip to Liaodong, in addition to the three brothers Xue Ping, Li Dingguo, and Ma Er, there was also Liu Cai, who heard from other people in Zhuolu Mountain that Zhiwen intended to go to Liaodong, and repeatedly pleaded with Song Xiance, and came with him.

According to Liu Cai's own words, his daughter-in-law has a child, and she is still pregnant with a child, and the Liu family is not afraid to break the bloodline, so he has to go to Liu Laohan if he has the opportunity to do his filial piety as a son of man.

No one can stop him from this kind of thing, but fortunately, everything in Zhuolu Mountain is on track, no more than him, no less than him, and no less for him, so Song Xiance agreed.

"Brother Zhi, don't worry, I will take care of it, I won't make it difficult for you, just do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." Liu Cai replied.

The focus of Zhiwen's trip was to take the Amin line, and he would only buy a small amount of things for the left-wing Mongolian people along the way.

It's just that I don't know where Amin is in Liaodong, with so many goods deep into Liaodong, that is the sheep into the tiger's mouth, is to reach the east and west of Liaodong at most, if you can't find Amin, then take a small number of light horses, a little probe, it will not go too deep.

If you want to find Liu Laohan on such a trip, the hope is too slim.

The trip to Liaodong did not take Sun Kewang with him, or let him stay in Dalintai and continue to be a sheriff, originally Zhiwen really wanted to take him with him, but the Tianzi mercenary group is expanding rapidly, and a large number of people are bound to come, and there is no strong person to guard it, so I really don't feel at ease.

had to break his promise, for this matter, Sun Kewang was the boss unhappy, and shouted that he would not go to Zhangjiakou if he knew it, Zhiwen lowered his face and criticized him, so that he reluctantly shut up.

Bagen and his two followers, Chaolu Chagan, were tired of staying in Zhuolu Mountain, and this time they also followed.
