At the end of June, Xiao Ye took only five guards and rode a pig-like chariot over the Gobi Desert to Juyan Lake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the way, when they were estimated to be two hundred miles away from Eagle Claw Fort, the chariot stopped, and the guards removed a round object that was as thick as a man's waist, and after the five-foot-long copper cylinder was dug and buried in the ground, a herald screwed a thick wire from the copper platform that was exposed to the ground, and connected it to a small square platform.

Sitting on the bench in the carriage, the herald deftly struck the tapping button on the square platform, a pair of earmuffs on his head, and a connection screwed on the square platform.

"Didi, Didi, Didi," the extremely slight sound was constantly knocked out by the herald, who had just joined the communication team from the academy, and quickly wrote down a series of numbers with charcoal in his small notebook.

After contacting his companions who were far away in Eagle Claw Fort, the herald excitedly handed the notebook to Xiao Ye, "My lord, I got in touch with Duan Damin/, he said that now the Liang family caravan has arrived, bringing five thousand catties of grain, and wants to exchange it for refined salt,"

This type of letter post, the new communication equipment of the processing center, replaced the second type of letter post, which can only contact five miles of portable letter post, was fortunately left in the military catalog.

The number of 200 made Xiao Ye confused, and he couldn't guess it.

Xiao Ye, who was sitting on a chair and drinking hot tea with a lamp hanging in the carriage, put down the books in his hand and moved his body.

Under the coffee table was a small low bookcase, which was made by an old craftsman, Xiao Ye liked it very much, and put the book back casually.

"Okay, tell Duan Damin, let him inform Wang Ziliang, and pass the order to Wang Gui, starting tomorrow, the refined salt in the open inventory will be sold at a price lower than the market price of coarse salt, or will it be exchanged for grain,"

"I want to see, the merchants in Gansu Town, whether they are in a hurry or not,"

This time it was Shi Chang Shangtie who went out with Xiao Ye, he was in the corner of the carriage, fiddling with the heating stove, giving Xiao Ye the pieces of meat in the pan, sandwiching the pieces of meat in the soft steamed buns, and it tasted delicious.

Everyone's backpacks were tied to the handles on the outside body, and there were two large boxes of battery sticks tied to the top of the rear compartment, and the cabin was very empty.

After making contact, the huge letter whistle dug out and put it in a cloth bag and tied it to the other side of the car.

Everyone ate dry food together, and the chariot continued to move rapidly due west; The excellence of the pig chariot is not only more manned, but also faster than the mouse chariot, and it can levitate up to ten feet above the ground, but the disadvantage is that it consumes half more battery rods.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the chariot rushed to the eastern shore of Lake Juyan and stopped on the grass outside the Tartar barracks, and the guards guarded the chariot with guns.

Click, on the top of the chariot, a guard flipped over and set up a heavy machine gun, boom, the bolt was loaded, the bright and dangling bullet chain shook slightly, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at the Tartar camp.

The conspicuous black chariot and the figure of the black-clothed guard had long been discovered by the rangers outside the Tartar barracks, and the long sound of the horn whined across the grassland, causing the figures in the barracks to shake, and a group of cavalry rushed out in a hurry.

Under the escort of the elite cavalry, Jinong, dressed in bright yellow thick clothes, finally appeared, riding on a snow-white high-headed horse, trotting straight towards the chariot.

The horse team stopped a mile away from the chariot, leaving most of the personal guards, accompanied by several commanders, Jinong came to Xiao Ye with an uneasy face, and led the generals to kneel in front of Xiao Ye, "The slave led his subordinates to knock on the master, the master Wan'an,"

refuses to say his name, it can be seen that Jinong still has a little self-esteem, if he didn't see his henchmen shattered in front of him one by one, how could he kneel in front of this hundred households.

The more noble a person is, the more he cherishes his life, and Jinong can't escape this vulgar thought.

"I don't care what your name was before, I'll give you a house slave a name today, just call it, let's call it Ximen Wangfu," Xiao Ye looked at the dozen or so men, waved them up, and the vulgar etiquette should not be taken seriously.

In the guards, it was a supreme honor to be rewarded with the name of the Simon family by the adults, but this Jinong's eyes flashed with a large gloom.

"Yes, the minion Han's name is Ximen Wangfu," the corners of Jinong's mouth crooked, and he said helplessly, if he had the slightest dissatisfaction with Xiao Ye, it would be a bad thing.

"You and others have killed and plundered the Han soldiers and civilians many times, robbed livestock and grain, that was a matter of the past, I can't control it, but from now on, your troops are not allowed to enter the border wall, and you must not easily harm the Ming soldiers and civilians,"

If the stick is shown, it is natural to come up with benefits and damage the interests of the alliance, and no matter how noble the cooperative status is, it will not be able to sit for long.

Especially these forced the Ming Dynasty, pulled out the defense line dedicated to the Hetao, and had heavy troops in Yanghewei, Datong left and right guards, Yulin Wei, Weiyuanwei, and Yulin Weitun, and the Tartar generals who were repeatedly infiltrated by roundabouts, Xiao Ye must fight and pull.

If you don't sharpen the knife, it will hurt your hands if you take it out, I hope Xin Xiucai's strategy can have a good effect.

"You can trade minerals, cattle and sheep, skins and even people at Talon Fort and this boss for whatever you need,"

"All Han slaves, you ordered all tribes to be handed over to the Galen tribe to take in, and two people exchanged for supplies worth thirty taels,"

"Population? Is the population of the Tile Thorn tribe okay too? Jinong looked at Xiao Ye puzzled.

"Except for the population within the border wall of the Ming Dynasty, it's all right," Xiao Ye pointed to the fire/gun that Shang Tie was carrying beside him, "It's okay to trade fire/gun weapons,"

His words made the eyes of Jinong and the generals suddenly light up, you must know that the fire/gun in Xiao Ye's hand has caused heavy losses to the Tartars. You must know that on the grassland, there are many tribes that secretly do not deal with Jinong, and the biggest opponent is, of course, the Tile Thorn tribe.

"If you need help, the war barracks can be dispatched, but you need to pay for it, and the opening fee for my war barracks is not low," Xiao Ye stared at Jinong's hazel eyes and said word by word, "I need a lot of minerals, especially copper ore and lead ore,"

"Come, take the leader's car, let's talk inside," pulled Jinong with a smile, Xiao Ye entered the chariot, and the two sat on chairs drinking fragrant tea, and began to discuss the first transaction.

"Fire/guns are not very popular with my subordinates, only the pro-guard team uses three-eyed firearms, so I don't know if I can buy flowering bullets?"

"I can send you a fire/gun sect leader to teach fire/guns and earth-shaking thunder," Xiao Ye couldn't deny.

"Slaves need to integrate the Tatar tribes, my two elder brothers are powerful, they have heavy troops in the Kent Han Mountains and Que, "

This is also the reason why Jinong developed westward and fought constantly with the Wasu tribe, and the grassland tribe valued the vast and fertile pasture the most.

"On this northwest grassland, I only need one minion," Xiao Ye said coldly, taking a sip of tea, "I refused to surrender to the rest of your grassland tribes, and captured them in exchange for your supplies,"

"Yes, the slave understands," Jinong knelt obediently in front of Xiao Ye, touched his master's military boots with his forehead, and exited the carriage; The rest of the things are handled by the following people.

"Buzz," the suspended chariot, Xiao Ye opened the window, stared down at the prairie hero, for a long time, "Next year, I will send you a car like this,"

Without asking Ximen Wangfu for any finances, Xiao Ye just left. The guards holding machine guns above the chariot looked at these wild Tartars lightly, until the cart drove a hundred paces away, and retracted their heads into the car, and the black and heavy machine guns slowly rolled down and disappeared.

The car that was leaving quickly quickly turned into a small black spot, and Tai Tingqi carefully leaned up, "Lord Jinong, it's this kind of black car, and the two of them broke through the military camp under them, the military camp of four thousand people,"

"Oh, it seems that those two cars are not so big, and they are not so fast," Tai Tingqi's words made Jinong's heart cold for a while, and suddenly the ground was scorching again.

"Pass the order, remember the badge on the car, no one is allowed to provoke the car with the badge, otherwise there will be no mercy," staring at the chariot in the distance, Ximen Wangfu said in a deep voice.

Sitting in the car, the cold wind blowing outside the window was blowing on his face, Xiao Ye looked at his military boots in a daze, he couldn't imagine that the little prince of the grassland who had beaten himself in Shiguantun and didn't dare to go down the mountain with a subordinate general earlier, was now lying under the military boots, it was a dream just now.

Ximen Wangfu, hehe, this name is very joyful.

Raising his eyes and looking at the red-faced and excited guards around him, Xiao Ye felt that it was not a dream, but a real thing, and he had one more subordinate who could be traded, and one more wolf retinue who was put on his neck.

After reaching a tacit understanding with Jinong, Xiao Ye reluctantly once again exchanged the resources of a rat-type chariot for a "small black house", and directly sent soldiers to be placed in the depths of the Gobi Desert facing northwest.

More than 800 Han slaves looted from Juyan Lake were handed over to Shang'an in the first batch, and Ximen Wangfu was given a beautiful pocket watch, which made him suddenly realize that human trafficking might be able to give it a go.

The Han slaves who were constantly escorted by the Tartar rangers on foot gradually made Ximen Wangfu unable to stop; And these Han slaves who survived on the grassland are also constantly increasing the manpower of the logistics team, and more are invested in the construction site of Ximen Stone Fort.

On the vast grassland with a radius of thousands of miles, a team of iron horsemen, under the order of Ximen Wangfu, captured the Tatar herdsmen with different intentions day and night, and traveled long distances to the deep ditch that dared to protect Shang'an.

The second-hand fire/gun in Xiao Ye's hand, a large number of revolver short fire/gun, flowed into Ximen Wangfu's hands, if you want the slave to have no complaints, not only to give him benefits, but also to give him a good pair of teeth, as long as the master's stick is thick enough.

A small tribe that did not obey the order was driven out of the designated ditch by Jinong's iron cavalry, and the right Guda, who led the team, exchanged the population of 310 wild Tartars for 200 consecutive military crossbows, 3,000 short arrows, and a hundred catties of refined salt that Xiao Ye gave as a gift.

"Tell you Jinong, oh, it's Wangfu, the population and the cattle and sheep must be sent together, and it's not that they won't give you money," Shang An, who was riding on the horse, raised his hand and pointed at these dejected tartars, and looked indifferently at the right Guda who was whispering, "Otherwise, don't think about fire/guns anymore,"

"Yes, the minion understands, understands," looked at the heavy machine guns on the high slope in the distance, and the two lightning cannons, and left with his right bone in a spittle.

Jinong and the Galen tribe reached a private agreement, and even started a transaction, which surprised Lanelt, who was far away in the Twin Towers, and then the salt mine deal with Wang Gui became more frequent.

At the beginning of July, the prospecting team on the transport truck staggered across the grassland with prospectors, and from time to time marked the discovered ore points on the sheepskin map.

The more and more proven ore veins made Xiao Ye can't help but be ecstatic, he didn't expect that on the prairie that can only grow grass, there are rocky mountains and wild ridges and ravines, but there are so many ores, and even in the Gobi Desert, under the shallow grass beach, a lot of barren ore veins have been found.

Iron ore is there, copper ore is found, lead-zinc ore is a little far away, and nitrate soil is also in the dry saline-alkali land, and there is no end in sight. Even, the prospecting team found two gold mines, but the terrain was too rugged and dangerous, so they had no choice but to let go.

Oh, if he didn't have a prospector, and if he didn't have a transport vehicle that could levitate and fly, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find a few veins in the grassland in his life.

This thousand-mile sweeping prospecting mode allowed Xiao Ye to grasp first-hand information, and he also began to hire Tartar tribes from Jinong to serve as laborers for him to open mines.

The price Xiao Ye paid was just a pocket watch, or ten revolver short guns/guns, which could hire a small tribe for a month, and more benefits would still be given to the biggest land snake; Of course, he would not let these small tribes abandon their old business of herding, but constantly bought livestock and filled warehouses with canned meat.

Woolen cotton wool, woolen coats, and warm leather trousers were piled up in newly built warehouses and sold cheaply to Ximen Wangfu, the overlord of the grassland.

A large number of ores were excavated by geotechnical bombs, and merchants who earned freight costs, as long as the black red line sword and shield flag was hung on the carriage, and the road was basically safe, even if they encountered robbery, there would also be nearby Tartar horse teams, and they would quickly dispatch to avenge the robbery.

In the deep ditch guarded by Shang An, I don't know how many Tartar captives walked in, and there was a steady stream of mineral materials sent in.

Staying on the vein can get rich profits, no need to bother and labor, and there is a large number of human trafficking, this profit model, so that Jinong is very happy.

At the beginning of September, Jinong and his eldest brother engaged in a large-scale clash in the Haizi Grassland south of Kent Han Mountain, and Xiao Ye sent two rat chariots and two transport vehicles carrying ammunition and battery rods to join the fierce battle.

The rampant rat-like chariot, with its ferocious firepower and thick and sturdy body, swooped straight into the hostile camp, and swept over Brother Jinong and his personal guards first.

The group of wild Tartar cavalry, deprived of its leader, soon surrendered to Jinong's tent and handed over all his eldest brother's relatives.

The second brother of Jinong, who was far away in the capital, immediately led his troops and moved to the Hulun Lake area, where two mountains and two rivers were sandwiched, and he curled up and did not dare to look west.

However, the ruthless little prince of Jinong offered Xiao Ye a price of 200 catties of gold, and traveled 3,000 miles, so that Xiao Ye took out all the chariots and transport vehicles, and it took a month to find the Tartar camp south of Hulun Lake.

Separated by a distance of nearly a thousand steps, the two chariots went back and forth, and the vehicle-mounted machine gun ran out of a bullet chain with a roar, killing Jinong's second brother who had no ambitions, a Mongolian nobleman wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, on the spot.

Later, after leading the troops to lead the troops, Tai Thorn Qi, personally cut off hundreds of heads of all the close relatives of Jinong's second brother, announced that those who surrendered would not be killed, and summoned this Mongolian Tatar tribe.

After two long-distance raids in a row, Xiao Ye's chariot was richly rewarded at the cost of seriously injuring three guards, and the two Jinong brothers' tribes would hand over 10,000 elite iron horsemen to Ximen Wangfu's hands.

These troops were also indirectly assigned to Xiao Ye's dispatch.

Xiao Ye's subordinates had such a sharp attack power, which made Ximen Wangfu completely dead, and the brilliant avenue in front of him made him feel more and more that it was a correct decision to belong to Ximen Xiao Ye.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to blow himself up, and he can't think about any thoughts that he shouldn't have, it's not worth it.

If he relied on the force in his own hands, he would still be pulling and pulling with Da Mingla, and he could only get some slaves and grain.

Of course, as the transport vehicle ran thousands of miles away, sections of jade vines were thrown down along the way, and with the tenacious vitality of poisonous weeds, they could soon grow rhizomes and spread a new green.

If it weren't for more vines and grass fruits, Xiao Ye would have been too lazy to work hard for Jinong.

At this point, the Tatar department was completely unified. This news made the Ming border army, which was already very jealous of the Mongolian iron cavalry, more cautious, and nervously worried for a while.

The complete unification of the Tatar tribe also made the Varspur tribe in the south worried.

Jinong, who was recuperating and integrating the tribe, had no plan to attack the Tile Thorn tribe this year, which also gave Xiao Ye the opportunity to reorganize his army and fight.
