Years of business career, so that Song Sijun has an unusual keen mind, all say that shopping malls are like battlefields, this is not false at all, in the transaction, Song Sijun always need to pay attention to all aspects of the situation, in Anning Fort and Jingbian, Song Sijun is the boss, so many years have passed, everyone knows the way, Song Sijun behind is Jiangning Ying, is Su Tiancheng, so so so many years have passed, no one dares to offend Song Sijun, unless he doesn't want to do business in Anning Fort and Jingbian.

The older Sun Yuankun stayed in Anning Fort, with two thousand soldiers from the Jiangning Battalion to maintain order on both sides, under normal circumstances, Sun Yuankun is in the military camp of Anning Fort, and he has time to Jingbian to see, the traffic between the two places is very convenient, and the businessmen who do business have already tried to repair the road, but as he grows older, Sun Yuankun also feels powerless, his family is in Anning Fort, the family is happy, gradually, Sun Yuankun thinks, is it to let the eldest son enter the Jiangning camp, The eldest son is not good at studying, Xiucai has not been admitted, and he has longed for the life in the military camp since he was a child.

Under such circumstances, Sun Yuankun slowly put the burden on Song Sijun, Sun Yuankun also knew the relationship between Song Sijun and Su Tiancheng, and Song Sijun was very flexible in handling things, and he maximized the amount of money earned for the Jiangning camp, Sun Yuankun was also very impressed.

Sun Yuankun is not only doing business in Anning Fort, Su Tiancheng arranged three aspects of personnel in Anning Fort and Jingbian, among which Bi Maokang and Sun Yuankun directly represent the Jiangning Battalion to maintain order in Anning Fort and Jingbian, Song Sijun is to do business on behalf of the Jiangning Battalion in the mutual market, Yue Gaofeng and Liu Ji are on behalf of the government and the Jiangning Battalion, collecting a lot of taxes, and as time goes by, Bi Maokang has long left Anning Fort. When they went to Dengzhou, Yue Gaofeng and Liu Ji also shifted their focus to the collection of intelligence, especially Liu Ji, who took refuge in the Jiangning camp. He is very familiar with the situation of the Xibe and Daurian people, and collecting intelligence is like a fish in water, and Song Sijun is basically directly responsible for business and trade matters.

As Sun Yuankun put the burden on Song Sijun, Yue Gaofeng and Liu Ji slowly began to obey Song Sijun's leadership, of course, there is a premise in this, and it will only be implemented by Yue Gaofeng and Liu Ji after Su Tiancheng agrees to such a practice, and it will be implemented recently. Song Sijun brought the news, it is estimated that Yue Gaofeng may have to leave Anning Fort and go to Dengzhou, because Weihaiwei Wharf needs a large number of personnel, and the city shipping department is already very busy, Yue Gaofeng, as a talent familiar with management, must be adjusted, Anning Fort, Jingbian and Weihaiwei Wharf. It has become the main source of military salaries for the Jiangning battalion. In terms of revenue and development prospects, the power of the terminal is undoubtedly greater than that of the mutual market.

The trading markets of Anningbao and Jingbian are also very different from a few years ago, the market is gradually expanding, and more and more Mongolian tribes come to trade, with the growth of the Xibe and Daurian tribes. More and more Mongol tribes submitted to them, and these tribes were also allowed to enter Anningbao and Jingbian to trade directly, especially in the past few years, the Mongol tribes have suffered a lot of disasters. In particular, the wind and snow disasters had almost no food, and they relied entirely on trading in the mutual market to obtain a large amount of food to maintain the survival of the tribe and avoid disasters.

In the process of this transaction, Song Sijun was the biggest winner, but the jewelry and gold and silver he earned, he didn't have anything himself, it was divided into two parts, one part was handed over to the imperial court, and the other part was the military salary of the Jiangning battalion.

With the frequent transactions, Song Sijun has more and more information.

The Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, after several years of trading, obtained flintlock pistols, artillery and other weapons from Song Sijun, and obtained a large amount of grain, the tribe began to develop and grow rapidly, in the Hetao area, no tribe dared to challenge, with the growth of the tribe, the leaders of the Xibe and Daurian tribes were not satisfied with the current status, they thought of conquering the grassland.

The largest tribe in the grassland is still the Horqin tribe, as a strong supporter and alliance of the Houjin Tartars, the leadership of the Horqin tribe has been recognized by many tribes in the grassland, and the Horqin tribe has a large number of people and a huge force, although there are other tribes to challenge, but always defeated by the hands of the Horqin tribe.

The Xibe and Daurian tribes thought of defeating the Horqin tribe.

Purely from the perspective of defeating the Horqin tribe, Song Sijun fully agrees, the Meng Eight Banners are dominated by the Horqin tribe, and the Horqin tribe represents the Houjin and commands the Meng Eight Banners.

The situation in Liaodong, Dengzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places, Song Sijun is aware, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty is now an eventful autumn, after defeating the Golden Tartars has become the main task, it is unfavorable to start wars in many places, under such a premise, the Mongolian steppe remains calm, and the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe guard the border pass for the Ming Dynasty, which is the most important task, and there can be no change for the time being.

Therefore, according to Su Tiancheng's requirements, Song Sijun tried his best to stabilize the leaders of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, so that they could calm down, continue to develop and strengthen their own strength, and wait for the right time.

Houjin Tatars also had a lot of businessmen in Anning Fort and Jingbian, and Su Tiancheng and Song Sijun knew about this situation.

At this point, Song Sijun admired Su Tiancheng, separated business from politics, some people thought that the mutual market should not let the Houjin Tartars participate, and it was necessary to completely trap the Houjin Tartars, but Su Tiancheng did not think so, businessmen do business, what is important is interests, some people are willing to pay a high price, even if you go to restrict, the effect may not be very good, the confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, in this place in Liaodong, there are businessmen who go to and from both sides to do business, it is impossible to completely prohibit it, from this point of view, If the Houjin Tartars want to go to Anning Fort and Jingbian to do business, there is no need to completely ban it, and it is impossible to ban it completely.

After so many years, everyone is at peace with each other, each doing their own business, of course, there are problems, the merchants of Houjin have purchased some firearms through some secret channels, although they are not directly purchased from Song Sijun's hands, but people can think of ways to obtain them from other channels.

In the past two years, a new situation has emerged, and the most troublesome situation for Song Sijun has appeared, the gradually growing Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe have contradictions, and both tribes want to have the leadership of the Hetao area, which is not a good phenomenon.

It was Liu Ji who got the news.

Liu Ji has a lot of flexibility to do things, and sometimes, even with the caravan to the Hetao area, he has mastered a lot of information, and through his observation, he found that there are contradictions between the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, and Liu Ji is still in the two tribes, and has found a lot of merchants in Houjin.

After this information was fed back, Sun Yuankun, Song Sijun, Yue Gaofeng, Liu Ji and others discussed together, they believed that the contradiction between the two tribes had a lot to do with the instigation of the Houjin Tartars, of course, there are some inevitable factors in this, and if they develop and grow, they must show their strength and strength, and they must dominate.

This is a very red flag, and it is a difficult problem to reconcile.

Once the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe have a fierce fight, it is a situation where the relatives and enemies are happy, and the security of Ningxia, Yulin and other border passes will be greatly threatened, and the two tigers will fight each other, and one will be injured, maybe the two tribes will decline, giving the Horqin tribe the best opportunity, and at that time, the Ming Dynasty may have to send troops to maintain the stability of the Hetao area.

To solve this contradiction, the best way is to divert attention, that is, according to the previous arrangement, let the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe start the conquest in the steppe, so that they will not have time and energy to fight, in the process of conquest, they need to cooperate closely, together to defeat the many huge tribes on the steppe.

This opinion, which everyone discussed, was quickly sent to Dengzhou.

Song Sijun personally went to the Hetao area once, met with the leaders of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, and warned them not to kill each other, and to leave energy to deal with those big tribes in the grassland, and really be able to dominate the grassland.

These words temporarily stabilized the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe, but this is not a long-term solution, Sun Yuankun, Song Sijun, Yue Gaofeng and Liu Ji and others are all very worried, I don't know if this deployment of Lu Dao will be agreed by Su Tiancheng, if the preparation time is too long, resulting in the two tribes unable to hold back, and there is a conflict between each other, the problem will be big.

Song Sijun, as the actual person in charge of Anning Fort and Jingbian, needs to think about these things, and he can't be negligent in the slightest, and when he has a headache, he even thinks about expelling the Houjin merchants of Anning Fort and Jingbian from Lu and don't want them to do business here, but unfortunately he thinks about it like this, and it is impossible to really do it.

Time passed slowly, and in order to prevent conflicts between the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, Liu Ji was stationed in the Hetao area, shuttling between the two tribes at all times, doing a good job of peace and stability, and at the same time paying close attention to the Houjin merchants who were active in the two tribes.

Finally, when the time for Yue Gaofeng to leave Anning Fort, Song Sijun specially instructed Yue Gaofeng, and after meeting Lord Su, he reported in detail on the affairs of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, and implored Lord Su to make a decision as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
