Chapter 101: Business

Zu Keyong, Yao Wenzhao and Hu Gui of the Lushun Commerce and Trade Division changed ships and went to sea, and then changed horses and galloped for a few days, and finally came to Guangning Zhongzuo Tunwei (Jinzhou), Zu Keyong arranged them to rest at the post station and then left by themselves, this walk is three days without seeing anyone, Yao Wenzhao and Hu Gui and others wanted to go out to see the scenery under the rule of the ancestors in Liaoxi, but dozens of murderous soldiers at the post station forced them back. It wasn't until the fifth day that the people trapped in the post station got the news, and the day after tomorrow, the Taibao of the Ming Dynasty, the young master, the general of the Liao Qianfeng, the chief military officer, and the left army governor's mansion, Zu Dashou, received them in the general military mansion......

A few people under the leadership of the sergeant in bright armor, walked towards the hall, the two sides of the aisle of the General Soldier's Mansion were full of strong generals, seeing them walk in, these people had different looks, some disdainful, some warm, more of a hostile, Yao Wenzhao was born as a businessman, and he didn't care about their attitude, but smiled and bowed around, Hu Gui followed behind Yao Wenzhao, because he was cautious, how could he not attract attention.

Entering the hall, a general sat in the middle of the big thorn, this person had a golden helmet and silver armor, tiger eyes and bronze beard, and the leader had not had time to speak, Yao Wenzhao had already hurriedly bowed over, and said in a humble tone: "Lushun messenger, Anton Wei Yao Wenzhao see Zu Shuai, Lushun General, Zhenguo General Yang Bo Yang said that he should have come to visit Zu Shuai in person, but Jiannu surrounded Yangguan Fort, Lord Yang because of military affairs, specially ordered the villain to present a letter, and asked Zu Shuai to forgive his sins, if there is a disrespectful manner, I also hope that Zu Shuai has a large number of people, tens of millions of Haihan...... Lord Yang said that he had admired Zu Shuai for a long time, and if he could repel Jiannu. He will definitely take the time to meet Zu Shuai in person. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the people behind him, and everyone knelt down.

Zu Dashou looked at these messengers indifferently. After waiting for a long time, he whispered: "It turned out to be Lushun Yang Bo's messenger, bring the letter." ”

A personal guard came down and took the letter held high in Yao Wenzhao's hand, although everyone did not look up, they could feel countless eyes projected on their bodies, and the Jinzhou generals in the hall were all talking to each other, pointing at these people.

"Let's all get up?" After a while, Zu Dashou finally spoke. His tone was calm, he couldn't hear the joys and sorrows, and he didn't know what his adults had written in the letters.

Hu Gui raised his head at this time. Quickly glanced at Zu Dashou, this person is not angry and arrogant, and his momentum is compelling, but he has a bit of the demeanor of a general. However, Hu Gui secretly despised it in his heart. "Calm and resolute" Zu Dashou's name has been stinky in Lushun, the battle of Ningyuan Fort, Zu Dashou was still the deputy chief soldier at that time, leading five thousand elite beheading fifty levels, promoted to the general army, and later beheaded twelve levels in Huangniwa, Zu Dashou not only made great achievements, but also used soldiers like gods. Turning into the wind, the army is impermanent. Shaling escaped from the battle, Guangning Youtun abandoned Xiong Tingbi, and the change of his own Si ran directly back to Jinzhou from Beijing, but he didn't leave a soldier, the battle of Dalinghe, after eating up the women and children in the city, the ancestor Dashou decided to surrender, and it was nothing to surrender, but in order to surrender, he decided to drag He Kegang outside the city to kill in front of the Eight Banners, and finally threw tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dalinghe, together with his own people, to Huang Taiji, he actually escaped, and then after a period of depression, he turned into the king of Jinzhou!

"Scum!" Hu Gui's expression remained unchanged, and he scolded the dog-like handsome man viciously in his stomach, the battle of Dalinghe, tens of thousands of Ming troops from Zhejiang, Lianghuai, and Sichuan were wiped out in order to get the turtle grandsons of the Guanning Army out of trouble, and the adults often smiled and said to them, Jinzhou will be a copy of the Daling River, and is willing to bet with everyone, Hu Gui didn't understand before, these grandsons enjoy millions of acres of fertile land and military tun, and tens of millions of Ming people make up the Liao salary a year, but what did these grandsons do for the Ming Dynasty?

"Business!" Hu Gui quickly regained his senses, Lushun trade needs to be expanded, how to fight is the business of adults, how to make money is the responsibility of their commerce and trade department, and it is the task of his Hu Gui to Liaodong, even if the silver is stained with blood.

Thinking of this, Hu Gui relaxed his tense face and put on a professional smile.

"Yang Bo has always been arrogant, Ben Shuai sent someone to contact him, I don't want him not to appreciate it and not say anything, but he blatantly detained my Liaodong messenger, hehe, didn't he Yang Bo think that my Liaodong blade is not sharp?" Zu Dashou suddenly said with a sneer, and his two eyes stared at Yao Wenzhao's face.

Yao Wenzhao was startled, and quickly stood up and said, "Misunderstanding, Zu Shuai, this is a misunderstanding......

"Misunderstanding?" Zu Dashou looked around the hall, and the generals immediately fell silent, he stood up, and his majestic figure seemed even more oppressive in the hall

"Ben Shuai heard that he arrested all the messengers I sent, punched and kicked them every day, tortured them constantly, and forced them to confess that they were Liaodong Xiaozuo, what did he Yang Bo want to do? Well? ”

Zu Dashou raised his voice violently, and the scene that Yao Wenzhao originally thought was a scene of guests and hosts seeing joy suddenly turned into a court trial of questioning and judging the case, and he was suddenly panicked and couldn't answer.

"Dashuai, isn't this hospitality?" Hu Gui stood up and bowed to the ancestor Dashou without being arrogant or humble.

Zu Dashou laughed: "It turns out that you are the right envoy? ”

Hu Gui nodded and said: "Don't dare to deceive the marshal, my lord asked Brother Yao to come forward and borrow the cover of Anton Wei's Yao family, the original intention was not to make a big fanfare, leading the court to look sideways, the bitter cold land of Liaodong, fortunately there are marshals and generals guarding the town, and they are safe, but even so, the court is still constantly being criticized, and my family is guarding Lushun has also been impeached repeatedly. ”

Hearing Hu Gui's well-behaved words, Zu Dashou snorted, sat down with a golden knife, pointed at Hu Gui with his finger and said: "Since Yang Bo sent you to make amends, a certain thought is in Liaodong and Liaonan for the sake of interdependence, so I will not mention it, I heard that in order to make amends, Yang Bo ordered the Yao family to bring a lot of things over, go back and tell your family, just say that next time you don't need to see outside like this, and you don't need to borrow the name of the firm, we don't lack anything in Liaodong, and there is no business to do." ”

The generals of Liaodong laughed when they heard this, Hu Gui nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The villain will definitely convey the words of the handsome man to my family, and I know that Liaodong lacks nothing." There's not much business to do. ”

Zu Dashou was choked up suddenly, and Hu Gui said again: "Dashuai just said that Liaodong and southern Liaoning are dependent on each other. Therefore, in addition to making amends for the villain's crime this time, he also wants to report the latest battle situation of Yangguanbao to the marshal, according to the new tripartite policy of the imperial court, Liaodong is the head, and Liaonan is the tail. It is inconvenient to send messages back and forth, not to mention that Jiannu is haunted, and the consequences are unimaginable if the news leaks. So what my lord means is that I hope to negotiate with the marshal, and the two towns will set up intelligence points on each other, so that the two towns will be in direct contact. It is also much faster than coming around Shanhaiguan and Dengzhou. The military situation is like fire, changing rapidly, Zu Shuai is my Ming general......"

Zu Dashou swept away the teasing expression before, waved his hand with a serious expression: "Let's not talk about those nonsense, Jiannu besieged Yangguan Fort in a big way, how is the battle situation now?" Do you want someone to send troops to help? ”

Hu Gui looked at the concentrated generals in the hall, and said in a heavy tone: "There is no major event in Yangguan Fort for the time being, but the situation is not optimistic. ”

"Oh?" Zu Dashou was overjoyed. But he was surprised: "How can this be? A certain person who has heard that the Lushun guerrilla battalion has unparalleled combat strength, and tens of thousands of Tatar slaves should no longer be a problem, right? Why do you say that the situation is not optimistic? Could it be that the guerrilla battalion that is famous all over the world is boasted of? ”

Hu Gui was disdainful in his heart. His face was as usual: "My family often says that if it weren't for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to clamp down on Jiannu, the guerrilla battalion might not be able to sneak attack the Tartars several times, and my family adults speak straightforwardly, but they have always been grateful to Zu Shuai......"

Hu Gui changed his words and said, "But this time it is different, because Yangguan Fort is a copy of Da Ling River!" ”

As soon as Hu Gui's words came out, the hall buzzed, Zu Dashou's face was pale, he didn't say a word, the scar in his heart was ruthlessly revealed, how not to be angry?

Hu Guiqing coughed and said: "The Tartars are not attacking the city with all their might, they want to trap my guerrilla battalion to death, although Yangguan Fort is convenient for supply by sea, but with the approach of the freeze, the situation is not optimistic." ”

Zu Dashou didn't answer, the atmosphere was embarrassing, and a kind military general on the seat got up and said, "How much food is there in the city?" ”

Hu Guidao: "There are only two months of food"

Everyone discussed again, and they were all using the eyes of outsiders to assess the situation that Lushun is facing now, and Hu Gui said again: "But before the villain left, Yangguanbao won another game and beheaded thousands of people!" ”

Hu Gui's exaggerated words shocked everyone, Zu Dashou's face sank like water, and his heart was terrified, he sent people to ask for directions before, and took the initiative to contact Lushun, that is, in case Lushun can withstand the full siege of Houjin, then the entire Liaodong will become the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he is at the helm of Liaozhen and swayed between the imperial court and Houjin, and now he still needs to test Yang Bo's attitude to decide the strategic policy in the future, although Hu Gui has gained the sympathy of many generals by belittling himself, how could he not know? As the first-level wholesale professional household of the Tatar slaves, the Houjin Eight Banners not only did not encircle the sheep official fort this time, but I am afraid that they would ...... in the end!

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou smiled a little embarrassedly, and said warmly: "What is the difficulty of Yang Bo? Do you say, 'There is a shortage of food?' Or is there a lack of equipment? Da Linghe is not a crime of war, but he can't bear to sit back and watch Yang Bo repeat his mistakes. ”

Hu Gui smiled secretly in his heart, but thanked him in his mouth: "The villain thanked Zu Shuai for his generous help for my family, but at present, Lushun has sufficient food and salary, and morale is high, so there is no problem in surviving the freeze, in fact, it is actually ......."

Hu Gui seemed a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, this time, the main reason is that the Yao family wants to do some business with Liaodong, Zu Shuai, the old lady of the Yao family and my family have a good relationship, I heard that there are many medicinal materials and furs in Liaodong, and the Yao family wants to buy some and sell them back, and I hope that Zu Shuai will be favorable?" ”

Everyone was shocked, they never expected that Yang Bo was not here to sell things, but to buy things, which made their savior mentality of watching jokes a blow, but who doesn't love the silver in vain? For a while, even Zu Dashou was a little moved.

Yao Wenzhao finally had room to play, and quickly stood up and arched his hand: "Zu Shuai, the two towns are interconnected, aren't they all happy?" The villain thinks that it is better to use the life of the trading company, so that the court will look better on the face, or attract the impeachment of the black crow, both of them will not be good, since in the name of the business, it is also appropriate to do some business, the contempt of the merchant this time to prepare to buy tens of thousands of medicinal materials, furs, a piece of commercial port opened up by Lord Yang in Dengzhou, if the lord of Liaodong is interested, he can cooperate with the contempt business, or simply transport it over to sell, Liaodong These are all high-grade goods, those merchants from Jiangnan, North Korea, and southeastern countries are trading in the commercial port, My adults also said, no business, no life, as long as you appreciate the face to do business, my adults will take care of it......"

The generals here are not good at fighting, doing business is clear, hearing this, the price of herbal medicine in Liaodong is not high, but if it can be sold in Dengzhou, the profit will at least increase several times, although the heart is moved, but Zu Dashou did not say that they did not dare to speak out, they all stared at Zu Dashou eagerly, Lushun does not sell things, what is there to consider?

Zu Dashou was indecisive, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, he had heard that Yang Bo was not interested in Liaozhen, but what these messengers said was crazy, but it made him suspect that Corporal Lixian must have something to ask for, what does Yang Bo want to get here?

"Send troops to relieve the siege?" Zu Dashou thought of this for the first time, indeed, if he sent troops to the Sancha River, the back road of the Eight Banners was threatened, and it was very likely that he would give up the siege of Yangguan Fort, but why did he Zu Dashou make a wedding dress for Yang Bo? Dispatch troops? Don't even think about it!

Zu Dashou, who had made up his mind, smiled slightly, Hu Gui got up and said, "Zu Shuai, my family sent me this time, in fact, I still want to talk about some big business with Dashuai!" ”

Zu Dashou smiled and said, "Big business? What big business? ”

Hu Gui smiled but did not answer, and looked left and right...... (To be continued......)
