Chapter 277: Not for Ransom
Zhiwen patiently explained Xue Ping's doubts, "You also heard from Brother Tang about the current situation of the Sunit Ministry, how much grain do you think Tang Keith can take to ransom his son?" Besides, I really don't look at his ransom. ”
Some words can't be said too clearly, Zhiwen has twice reaped the benefits from the Fan family and Houjin, regardless of the rest, only in terms of food, it can already be called a rich country, Sunit is only a part of Mongolia, and its wealth, Zhiwen really can't look down on it.
Of course, this country refers to a small and poor country like Houjin, and compared with a behemoth like the Ming Dynasty, it is still not enough.
"That's... What is Childe's move? Xue Ping humbly asked for advice.
"If Tangith really values Manduratu, then this matter will definitely disturb his mind, and his energy will not be all focused on tribal affairs, and we will have a chance to do what we need to do next." Zhiwen said, "So, your task is not to take how much ransom you want, but to use this matter to constantly harass Tanghis, and the longer the time drags on, the better." ”
Although this matter may not really achieve Zhiwen's goal, it is better than doing nothing and allowing Tanghis to pay attention to his own tribe wholeheartedly, at least, it can make him temporarily let go of his thoughts about Tang Hezhi and the others.
"That's right," Xue Ping said, "Then we really have to figure it out, Don Keith is nervous about his son, son, his subordinates will retire, and this will be arranged." ”
"Wait, Old Xue," although Zhiwen had no doubts about the ability and level of Xue Ping and the three of them in this regard, but the stakes were very high, and he was a little curious, he still wanted to ask clearly, "How are you going to inform Tang Keith that his son has been kidnapped, will the brother sent be in danger, will the position be exposed, and let him transfer troops and make dumplings?" ”
"Hehe, Childe, you don't understand this." Speaking of what he was good at, Xue Ping began to dance with his eyebrows, "Didn't we capture a lot of them this time, just pick a prisoner to report the news, and as soon as he leaves, we will change places, don't worry." ”
"Then if the other party is willing to pay the ransom, but doesn't have that much money, how can he notify you and bargain with you?" Zhiwen asked again.
"Suppose I want five hundred taels of silver for the ransom, then I will ask the messenger to tell the other party that if he is willing to give it, he will plant five white flags in his tent or in a place I designate, and if I do not plant a flag, or plant a flag of other colors, we will all regard it as unwilling to give money."
"If you are willing to give, but not so much, then plant less white flags, such as only three poles, then it means that he is willing to give three hundred taels of silver, if I agree, I will send someone to inform the time and place of the transaction, if not, then send someone to make a deal with him, this time their people have caught more, it is enough." Xue Ping said.
"What if you don't catch someone?" Zhiwen asked.
"I didn't catch anyone, how could it be?" Xue Ping said, "You can just find a herdsman to spread the word, as long as there is a token, you can't help the other party not believe it." ”
"It's just that in the final transaction, if the other party makes up his mind to break the net with us, it is really a bit dangerous, so we are all brothers and take people to go, if the other party really turns his face, he will not be caught in a net." Xue Ping continued.
"Why don't you let them put the money and food in the designated place, and then you go and take it out quietly?" Zhiwen asked again.
Xue Ping shook his head, "It's not proper, what if it is bumped into by others and taken away, both sides can't say clearly, besides, they can still set up an ambush there and wait for the rabbit." ”
"We've done a few cases before, but we've never encountered such a ruthless one, and we're still afraid of our revenge."
Zhiwen was a little surprised, "There are only three of you, are you still afraid of your revenge?" ”
"But the other party doesn't know." Xue Ping was a little proud, "Besides, even if there are only two people left, the average small tribe can't withstand our trouble, so we were looking for a small tribe before." ”
"It's the first time on the scale of Sunit, it's not easy to get this ransom." Xue Ping sighed.
"Didn't you really take the ransom and forget?" Zhiwen asked with a smile, after listening to what Xue Ping said, he had a general sense of energy in his heart, and Xue Ping should not mess things up.
"Oh?! Yes, ransom is not the goal! Xue Ping came back to his senses, "That... Then there's nothing to worry about, Childe, are you alright? If it's all right, I'll arrange for someone to do it. ”
"Go ahead." Zhiwen instructed, "By the way, find a way to ask these people again, and see what is the prestige of Tangith and his father, the golden man's Taiji, in the tribe?" ”
The higher the prestige of these two people, the more unfavorable it is for Zhiwen's actions, even if the words in the mouths of these captives are not so true, it is necessary to inquire in advance, and wait until they are near the Sunit Department to find someone to confirm it.
"Yes, Childe!" Xue Ping turned and left.
During dinner, Xue Ping squeezed to Zhiwen's side, "Childe, it's arranged, I will release one of the captives, and let him take the token of Mandu Latu and go back to tell Tanghis that he will prepare money and food to redeem his son." ”
Then he said a little smugly, "They are convinced of who we are kidnappers." ”
"What's so strange about you guys, fierce and vicious, either horse thieves or kidnappers." Next to him, Meng Gen joked that when he was still in the tribe, he could see that these three people were not good birds.
"Brother Menggen, hehehe..." Xue Ping laughed dryly, in order to hide his embarrassment, he continued to report to Zhiwen, "Childe, you asked me to inquire about it, and I also asked about it, Tangith and his father Dabuhai Hu Shuqi are now in the tribe, and their reputation is a bad street." ”
"Really?" Zhiwen was a little surprised, the worse the reputation of these two, the better.
"There shouldn't be any fakes." Xue Ping said, "These people have said that if it weren't for being Tanghis's house slaves, they wouldn't have come out this time, and now the free people in the Sunit tribe are unwilling to give their father and son their lives except for their families to drive horses and sheep and earn some food." ”
"What's going on?" Zhiwen didn't figure it out.
Tang Hezhi said on the side, "No wonder we only dispatched so many people to chase and kill, except for his Tangjith who didn't want to show the news, it seems that no one is willing to take his life." ”
Then he explained to Zhiwen, "I think it should be because of Dorgon, he is killing in the Sunit tribe, and if the father and son do not behave as expected, the tribesmen will be greatly disappointed." ”
"Yes, yes," Xue Ping hurriedly said, "They said that many popular warriors in the tribe were indiscriminately killed by Dolgon on the charge of colluding with Chahar, and the two fathers and sons didn't even dare to breathe a sigh of anger, and the people in the tribe now say that there is no Khan in Sunit, and some are only Taiji of the Jin people." ”
