The Sancha River flows from north to south, exits at the mouth of the Sancha River, and diverges into the Liao River and the Taizi River. The Taizi River was diverted to the east, and then diverted into the Hunhe River, while the Liao River went all the way to the north, just passing through the Duoyan Department, so the trade between the two sides was also carried out by water, and the ships were of course provided by the Liaodong side.

It was the first time Hassan had led a team on this trade route, but the others had been back and forth several times, and he didn't need to worry about the things on the trip, he still cared more about his sister. is not only a family relationship, but also the situation of my sister, which is also related to the alliance between the two sides.

"Haven't you entered his tent yet......" Hearing the meaning of his sister's words, Hassan's eyes widened and he was very surprised, and asked directly in the words of the grassland.

"Eh, anyway, big brother, you don't understand, don't ask." was told by her brother, and the girl was ashamed and annoyed, and her little face was red. was thrown aside, and he was already very angry, but this stupid big brother still talked nonsense, do you want others to live?

"By the way, big brother, why did you come with me this time? It's spring, doesn't it matter what the pastures are in the west? There is no way to take Xie Hong, but Yu'er still has a lot of means to deal with her eldest brother, and she quickly diverted the topic away from herself.

"This ......" Hassan is not stupid, seeing his sister's appearance, he also knows that the rumors are wrong, otherwise, how could that Hou Ye let go of such a beautiful sister? However, seeing Yu'er's hot appearance, he also knew that he couldn't persuade him, not to mention, the question asked by his sister involved a lot, which made him a little difficult to answer.

The forces on the steppe have always been very chaotic, usually the tribes are mixed together, sometimes they also fight each other, and when it comes to dealing with the Ming Dynasty, they unite together and work together, and this is the relationship between Tatar and Warat.

However, the relationship between Duoyan Sanwei and Tatar and Warat is somewhat complicated. Although they also used force with the Ming Dynasty, the Duoyan Sanwei acted alone, and most of the time, they also maintained a relative peace with the Ming, nominally claiming to be vassals of the Ming Dynasty, but they were constantly fighting with the Tatar tribes, who were also of Mongolian ethnicity.

Of course, this situation will be caused, mainly because of the strength of the Tatar Ministry, and Duoyan Sanwei just rose up to resist and did not want to be annexed by the other party. In addition, at the junction of the two tribes, the competition for pasture is also fierce.

More pasture, the livestock will have more food, and the fat will naturally grow, this is the consensus of the herdsmen, coupled with the habits of the grassland, the fierce competition for the grassland can also be imagined.

As the son of the patriarch and the most famous warrior of the clan, Hassan usually goes to the west in the spring to lead his people to fight against the Tatars, and it is indeed a very strange thing to appear here at this time.

Yu'er was much smarter than her eldest brother, and at first she just asked casually, but when she saw Hassan's expression, the girl immediately noticed something strange.

"Big brother, does my father want to make peace with the Tatar Ministry? Deal with Liaodong together? Yu'er eagerly asked, if the two sides went to war, her position would be embarrassing, not to mention, she didn't think her father and brother would win.

Just look at the big ships in Golden State, although those ships are all performing far away from the port, but even dozens of miles away, the rumbling cannon sound from the sea still makes people's hearts palpitate, and those things, how can they be resisted by the flesh and blood of the shepherds?

Besides, the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen are not vegetarians, the soldiers and horses in various places are training every day, and the armor is far superior to their own clansmen.

"Yu'er, don't worry, it's not like that, it's not like that." Yu'er's voice was a little loud, and Hassan was startled, and waved his hand again and again to comfort his sister, and did not forget to look around, for fear of causing a misunderstanding.

Seeing that there was no one around him paying attention, he relieved his heart and explained: "The Tatar side already knows that we have made peace with Liaodong, and you are also in Liaodong, with the proud surname of Boyan Mengke, how can he send a messenger again?" ”

"Well, that's true." The girl nodded.

Boyan Meng is the little prince of the Tatar department, he has always claimed to be the second Genghis Khan, and the envoys sent in the past are also arrogant, as if it is a great kindness to let Duoyan Sanwei take refuge in them, and it is precisely because of this that his father Khan has never succumbed to the strong pressure of the other party.

Fortunately, Duoyan Sanwei is like a chicken rib for the Tatar Department, and Boyan Mengke's eyes have been staring at the rich Daming, and most of them are also fighting petty with Sanwei. If the other party moves east with the main force, then the Sanwei side may not be able to resist it.

In the past, when she was still in the tribe, Yu'er was always worried, for fear that the Tatars would come hard, in that case, no matter how unwilling she was to be a vassal, her father Khan could only give in.

Obviously, the news that he was in Jinzhou, the Duoyan Department and the Liaodong Alliance was deliberately released by his father Khan, in order to tell the little prince that Duoyan Sanwei already had a backer, and if the other party wanted to do it again, he would have to consider it somewhat.

In such a situation, with the arrogance of the little prince, there will indeed be no envoy coming, and if he comes, it can only be tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the king's tent. What kind of idea did Father Khan fight, and the girl also had some guesses, Bacheng planned to pull Liaodong into the water and deal with the Tatars together, at least to get some weapon support from Liaodong.

Yu'er didn't want to pay attention to these calculations of the men, as long as her people didn't turn their faces with Liaodong and did it, they would always be as amiable as they are now.

"The strange thing is that the Tatars did not send envoys, but the small tribes on the border have all shrunk back, and I can't figure out what is going on. Anyway, it's been very quiet, not to mention that someone came to rob our pasture, and no one even cared about our shepherds crossing the line, which is really strange. ”

Hassan scratched the back of his head and said very curiously: "Originally, I wanted to take someone to the west to explore, but my father Khan didn't let me, saying that it was possible to be ambushed, so I didn't know what was going on over there, there was no fight, and I was worried about you, so I came here." ”

"The Tatars have shrunk their defenses?" Yu'er flashed her beautiful big eyes and almost exclaimed, but fortunately, she covered her small mouth in time, so she didn't alarm others.

Hassan said stupidly: "But isn't it, I didn't even have to fight, I originally got this treasure knife, and I still want to compete with the elite soldiers of the king tent of Boyan Mengke." ”

"Great, big brother, you are really my good big brother, hehe, with this news, I don't believe I can't see it......" I don't know what happened, Yu'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and then smiled, smiling very happily and proudly, like a little female fox who stole a chick.

"Yu'er, what do you want to see?"

"In short, big brother, you are very good, you don't have to worry about these things, I will help you get a few more treasure knives in the future." Yu'er made a small face, and pretended to be serious and said, "You go back quickly, I will also go back to Jinzhou." ”

"Well, oh, okay, take care of yourself then." Hassan is also not a flexible person, and he is completely confused by his sister's sudden excitement, so he can only respond.

"Got it." Sending the eldest brother on the horse, Yu'er agreed absentmindedly, a heart had already flown back to Jinzhou, and she couldn't wait to leave as soon as possible. Well, it's okay, if you take the boat back, it's still very fast, and it won't take more than a day to meet that villain.

"Uh, by the way, Yu'er, Father Khan said that he misses you too, and specially asked me to bring a message, when the autumn comes, if you are free, come to Yingkou Port, and Father Khan will come over in person, remember?" Remembering Hua Dang's instructions, Hassan turned his head and admonished again.

"Remember, don't worry." The girl agreed, but her tone became more eager, waving her little hands vigorously, as if driving someone, and drove Hassan away.

Hassan had never been able to take this sister, and at this time he had nothing to say, he shook his head with a smile and led the horse away. As long as my sister is happy, why are there so many other cares?

…… Daning was originally the pro-domain of the Ming Dynasty, and in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was the king of Ning. Later, due to the Battle of Jingyan, Chengzu Zhu Di seized his younger brother's military power and moved the line of King Ning to Nanchang, and Daning declined.

Then, during the Xuande period, Duoyan Sanwei and the Ming court turned against each other, invaded Liaodong on a large scale, and occupied Daning City. In the Zhengde period, Daning has become an important stronghold of the Duoyan Department in the Sanwei Middle School, and it is also the place where Wuliangha and Daming exchange markets.

However, in the three years since Zhengde, the center of gravity of Sanwei has begun to tilt and shifted from Daning to the Liaohe River Valley.

The reason is very simple, the scale of trade with Liaozhen is getting bigger and bigger, and the cost of water transportation is far more than the land route, so although the royal tent of the Sanwei collegiate is still in Daning, the herdsmen are more willing to run to Taining Wei in their leisure time, and whenever a ship comes from the south, the river will resound with earth-shattering cheers.

In this regard, Huadang is not worried or happy.

The three guards have always been called together, but in fact, they are also separated, the Duoyan Department is the most western, from Daning to Xifengkou, near Xuanfu; Tainingwei is in the middle, from Jinzhou and Yizhou, through Guangning to Liaohe; Fuyuwei is the northernmost, from the yellow mud valley, beyond Shenyang, Tieling to Kaiyuan.

The territory of the Duoyan Department is the largest, and the number of people is also the largest, so it is the leader, and the tribe is gradually prosperous, and Huadang is naturally happy to see it. However, the places where the Liao River flows are all pastures of Tainingwei, which is not ideal.

Hua Dangzi has been pondering whether to open up a few more waterways recently, you know, there are rivers around Daning, and when it comes to depth and width, it is not under the Liao River, but it is just a little farther.

Of course, these are trivial things, and Hua Dang doesn't care much about it, whether it is Taining or Duoyan, who broke the bones and tendons, and has been sharing weal and woe together for so many years, the meat is the same in anyone's bowl. What's more, Liaodong is his son-in-law, and with this relationship, the leadership position of the Duoyan Department will not be shaken.

However, no matter what kind of group, it is impossible to unite as one, although Hua Dang doesn't care much, but some people are red-eyed, and it has caused a lot of trouble, and this scene that makes Hua Dang frown is also from this.

"Big leader, the rabbit still knows how to leave a few more openings when making a nest, we can't tie it to death on a line in Liaodong!" In Huadang's tent, a group of people sat in a circle, and a thin black man was shouting loudly in the middle.

"Tu Yu, what do you say?" Hua Dang glanced at the speaker in disgust and said impatiently.

Tu Yu is the leader of the Fuyu Division, this person is as his name suggests, the position between his eyes is wide open, and he looks like a black catfish. Don't look like a scaly-clawed animal, but he has a lot of eyes, obviously Tainingwei took advantage of trade, but he didn't mention trade, but questioned the relationship between Sanwei and Liaodong.

"Of course, we have to bet on both ends, we can't afford to provoke Tatar and Warat, and now they are planning big things, and they don't have time to take care of us for a while, and the west has Ansheng. If we wait for them to come back and the soldiers are overwhelmed, it will be too late for us to regret it. Tu Yubi said loudly, looking at Huadang's eyes, there was a bit of a taste of teeth and claws.

"That's right, big chief, we still have to think about it......"

Most of the people who can enter the account are not low, at least they are also tribal elders, and these people are also the cause of Hua Dang's headaches. If it weren't for the fact that these people were eating and wiping clean and behaved, why would he have to endure Tu Yu's foaming stars here?

"What do you want? Let's stop the trade with Liaodong, and then everyone crawls to the west to lick the feet of Boyan Mengke and the fire sieve? The person who spoke was sitting on the left hand side of Hua Dang, and it could be seen from the position where he was sitting that this person's identity was not ordinary, if it weren't for that, I am afraid he would not dare to speak to Tu Yu, the leader of the department.

"Za Ra Yi'er, you don't have yin and yang weirdness, who said that you are going to stop trading with Liaodong, I just said that you have to leave a way back and make some preparations." Tu Yu jumped up suddenly, like a carp jumping out of the water, and did not forget to shake his head and tail with his feet off the ground.

Stopped trading? If it was easy to say at the beginning, but now, the shepherds have tasted the sweetness, and if anyone dares to mention such a thing, even if it is a tribal leader, it can only be a betrayal of relatives, otherwise why would he not dare to steal business openly?

"Then how do you tell me how to leave a way back? Send troops to follow the Tatars to rob the Ming Dynasty? Hmph, Tatar and Warat can go to Ningxia, but we are only facing Liao Town and Ji Town! Who do you say to hit? We can't beat Jizhen, Liaozhen, hum, let's not talk about the victory or defeat, as long as we move troops, this trade will be cut off immediately, what should we do then? Zarayier sneered.

"Liaozhen, we can't beat it." Nodding to Zarayi'er, Hua Dang continued: "You haven't seen it, but I've seen it, Liaozhen's firearms and armor are all sharp, I don't want to take the lives of the clansmen to fill in." ”

"Who said they were going to fight?" Tu Yu said loudly: "If you want to fight, you won't fight now, let me tell you, this time, His Royal Highness the prince has a great grasp, and the opportunity to restore the glory of Dayuan is just around the corner, and when that time comes, will we still shrink and move?" Trade? Aren't they relying on those workshops and craftsmen to grab those things, don't they want anything? Why bother to let people pull out another layer of skin? ”

"Absolutely? How do you say that? Hua Jing asked with a move in her heart.

"I don't know the specifics, with our relationship with the Tatar Ministry, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Prince to tell me, but this matter should be true. Big Chief, everyone knows that Yu'er is in Golden State, but this matter involves the interests of the clan, you can't ......"

As soon as Tu Yu shouted, the expressions on the faces of many elders began to loosen, obviously they were moved, and if they didn't, they would grab it, and it was originally the surname of the grassland people.

Of course, Da Ming is very strong now, and the three of them can't afford to mess with others, but if there is a chance, the equal exchange is obviously not as pleasant as enslaving others, so the elders also agree with Tu Yu's opinion.

"Of course I won't communicate with the Han people, if it's really as you said, as a big leader, I won't stop everyone from getting rich......

Seeing everyone's faces in their eyes, Hua Dang sighed secretly in his heart, these people have never seen the means of the champion Hou, so they are a little ignorant of the sky, and they still fantasize about the glory of Dayuan, joke! Even if there is no champion Hou, Daming is not at his mercy, otherwise why wouldn't Boyan Meng come to Jizhen and only hang around in the west all day long?

But the public opinion is like this, he is not easy to press, and he can't suppress it, although Zarayier supports himself, but the elders of the Taining Department are very tempted, one is not good, maybe the three guards will be in chaos.

"However, even if you want to take action, you can only wait until Boyan Meng and them succeed, before that, if anyone dares to provoke Liaodong, don't blame me for being polite!"
