Chapter 468: Ashima
Zhuomara looked at the tearful Agoura inexplicably, could it be that she was captured by this group of people? Hasn't Agoura already escaped from Sanduozhai? Some time ago, the Mongols came to arrest them, and they looked at the tired but well-armed special battalion with a tired face a little nervously: "Agoura, what's going on?" ”
Agoura and Dolmara are both leaders of the same tribe, and the two have always had a good relationship, if it were anyone else, Dolmara would have already raised his sword against each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dolmara, Agora has brought you a sincere friend." Agoura hugged the header: "These are all elite soldiers of the imperial court." ”
"The Imperial Court?" Zhuo Mala glanced at Li Xiang: "The court of the Han people?" ”
"It was the great and heroic court of the Han Chinese, who came from far away and came here after only five days' journey." Agoura said happily: "Agoura walked on his own for twelve days. ”
"Oh," the leader looked at the ragged special battalion and asked in disbelief, "Are these the elites of the Han court?" ”
Haven't the Han people always been rich? How could it have fallen into such a situation.
Li Xiang also knew how embarrassed he was now, so he quickly took out the big package behind him before stepping forward, handed it to the leader, and said: "What greets friends is spirits and good tea, and Li Xiang, the commander of the Shaoxi Mansion Army, led the three hundred elites of the Shaoxi Mansion Army to recover Sanduozhai from the imperial court's holy decree, and asked the leader to help in the next hand." ”
Seeing that Agoura's eyes were shining, the head man Zhuomara must have taken the gift in front of him was not simple, so he took it in confusion, and he didn't care about being rude, so he opened the bottle first, and a rich smell of wine came to his nose.
"Good wine, good wine." Dolmara couldn't help but admire.
Agoura has an opinion: "I said my lord, along the way, I Agoura ran out of breath and didn't see my lord send some spirits, and the only bottle was also exchanged for a horse by Agoura, you are too partial." ”
Zhuomara smiled, good wine and good tea are good friends, no matter who he is, seeing Agoura's expression is not pretending, so he is a lot more relieved, took Li Xiang's spirits and tea bags, and invited them into the wooden house.
Zhuomara's tribe is very small, there are only more than 100 people, this is a beautiful valley, you can see the end at a glance, you can vaguely see a lot of war horses and sheep swaying leisurely in the grass, although it is August, but the valley is still full of flowers, along the way a few bees and butterflies in front of Li Xiang's eyes keep teasing.
Tease.
"Dolmara, what's the situation with the Mongols now?" Agoura was a little worried and asked, "Did you say that there were Mongols who had been here?" ”
"Yes," Zhuomala took a glass of wine, took a deep breath, and said, "After you escaped from Sanduozhai, the Mongols looked for you for a while, but then there was no movement. ”
"But something seems to have happened to the Mongols lately," said Dolmara a little sadly, "The Mongols went to the various tribes and ordered the tribes to sacrifice war horses and furs, and not only that, but I heard that the Sara tribe also forced troops to assist the Mongols in their wars. ”
"Damn the Mongols." Agoura scolded fiercely, more than ten years ago, the Mongolian general Kuoduan had already obtained the Qin and Gong regions, and Ah Gechang was appointed as the pacification envoy of Diezhou, responsible for recruiting the Tibetan tribes. In the second year, Kuoduan entered Shu in a big way, and recruited 10 tribes including the Tubo chieftain Kansha Mengjia. Ten years later, Kuduan gave the presiding officer Sabanzhida Gongga Gyaltsen Sampo an edict and invited him to go to Liangzhou. On behalf of the Tibetan tribes, Sabandita reached an agreement with Kuorui to recognize the Tibetan tribes as belonging to Mongolia and confirm that Tibet was under the jurisdiction of the Mongol Great Khan.
Driven by the Sasgar faction, most of the Tibetan tribes were attached to Mongolia, and Mongolia established the leadership of Tubo through the Sasgar leaders, of course, at that time, Sanduozhai was still in the hands of the Han court, and the nearby tribesmen could live.
Since the Mongols captured Sanduozhai last year, the Han tea and horse division withdrew from the Sanduozhai area, and the Mongols have exchanged tea with the tribe wherever they want, and they will take everything they want.
The life of the tribe is not as good as day by day, and now the Mongols are recruiting war horses and warriors on a large scale, and small tribes like Dolmala are estimated to not survive this winter.
Without the tea of the Han people, the tribesmen would not be able to survive the bitter cold of winter.
Li Xiang also heard Liang Lie say that only in the first year of Shaoxing, there were 23 tea farms in Chengdu Mansion and Lizhou Road, with an annual output of 2,120,000 catties. Tongbo horses and silks, the annual income is about 2,493,000 yuan, in exchange for 12,994 horses in Sichuan and Qin.
Every year, the imperial court has to exchange 12,994 good horses from the ethnic minorities in the northwest and Tibet to equip the imperial army. According to the average of 80 catties per horse, the circulation of tea is more than one million catties. Not to mention that it is not only horses that need to be exchanged, but also specialties of ethnic minority areas, such as furs and medicinal herbs.
This is a staggering amount, without the more than one million catties of tea provided by the Han court, and only by smuggling and exchanging between small merchants, a large number of clansmen would die in the bitter winter because they could not get the replenishment of tea.
"Good tea, good tea." Zhuo Mara couldn't help but admire, but Li Xiang was depressed for a while, he has always drunk alcohol and not tea, these tea leaves still came out of Lu Xiufu's house, I heard Lao Lu say what kind of Ziyang tea, I don't understand, since it is a good tea, just ask Lao Lu after I go back: "If the head person likes it, Li Xiang will bring you more in the future." ”
Zhuomala thanked Li Xiang, and said to Agoura: "The Mongols in Sanduo Village are well guarded, what are you going to do?" ”
Agula was full of confidence and said: "With the elite of the Han court, Agula is absolutely relieved, but I don't know what the situation is in Sanduozhai?" ”
"The Mongols are very cautious," Dolmala said, "since you Agoura fled from Sanduo Village, we herdsmen have never been able to enter Sanduo Village again. The Mongols only allowed people they knew to enter, and the average stranger was detained or simply kicked out."
"Does Dolmara know what happened to Ashima?" In fact, what Agoura is most worried about is his baby daughter, it is his daughter who persuaded him to escape from Sanduozhai to ask for help from the Han court, and now that so much time has passed, I don't know what?
"Ashima should be fine, and I don't see any news, besides, Ashima has a good reputation among the tribes within a radius of 100 miles, and the Mongols only have 100 households and horse supervisors, so they shouldn't do anything?" Dolmara thought for a moment before saying, "Agoura, rest assured, there is no unfavorable news. ”
No way? The ugly daughter of an ugly man is still so attractive?
"Ashima is the most beautiful girl in the Tibetan tribe within a radius of a hundred miles, and the wisest priest within a radius of a hundred miles." Dolmara drank his Li Xiang's wine, and he must repay it.
"No, it seems a little strange that Agoura can give birth to a beautiful and absolutely beautiful girl just like this? It is estimated that the aesthetic vision is different. Li Xiang cheered himself up.
