From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the nobles of the Naturalization City have been accustomed to using the exquisite utensils of the Ming Dynasty, and even imitate the living habits of the Ming Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The trade route is cut off, and the Guihua City side will not have much impact, and there are a lot of necessary materials in reserve, but for the nobles of the Ministry of Okata, those things that are not necessary are the most needed.

Inside and outside the city of Naturalization, there are nearly 200,000 Han people under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Naturalization, all walks of life in agriculture and commerce, after the team of the six big businesses in front of was robbed, when the moon was in the early days, the Naturalization City came to buy, first to buy various items, and then promised that the merchants would transport goods out of the customs, and the Ministry of Naturalization would send cavalry to escort them, guaranteeing that there would be no problems.

This time, the merchants who had gone out together before all shrunk, and that time they were robbed, they all suffered heavy losses, and they knew that the cavalry of the Alta Department had taken the goods back, but they did not want to come back.

However, the wealth was moving, and the buyers from Guihua City offered a high enough price, but several large commercial houses such as Jinhe Commercial Bank moved their minds and began to prepare goods and prepare to leave the village.

The month of Layue is close to the end of the year, and the warehouses of each trading house are fully stocked with goods, and the price given by the Naturalization City is high, even if the Jinhe Commercial Bank buys from other houses, it will make money, and the goods will soon be ready.

This time the momentum is still huge than the last time, a convoy in the middle of the month of the month in the killing tiger mouth out of the Ming Dynasty, to the north, the city of naturalization also has the habit of the Spring Festival, the festival for the Mongolians means carnival, without a variety of spirits and corresponding luxury goods, it is much inferior.

The buyer has been urging, and the trading houses have also accelerated their actions, this time the Tartars really sent a thousand-person escort, and the relationship between the Jin and the commercial bank Ping Suri and the right guard of Datong and Datong Town is also good, this caravan was actually escorted by the Ming cavalry for half a day.

This distance is far enough from the border wall of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the Ming cavalry escorting the caravan has seen the Tartar cavalry on the opposite side, and the two sides have no contact, but the caravan is not escorted by soldiers on the road for half an hour, and this road will definitely be safe, if there are horse thieves who don't even care about a thousand horsemen on the grassland, then it is not a horse thief. Relative to this side, close to Layue, it is the time when all kinds of goods are in short supply and can be sold at a good price, in Yanghekou, east of Datong Town, there are also caravans out of the customs, trying to try their luck.

However, the caravan was not lucky, and it was still more than two hundred miles away from the city of Naturalization, and the goods were ransacked, but no human life was harmed.

The caravan is not, even the people of Naturalization City know that this caravan may be the property of a certain military general or official in Datong Town, and there are many times they have come to Naturalization City, the goods have been robbed, and the layers of bitter complaints have come up, and there are always nobles from the Ministry of Naturalization who have noticed that the horse thieves on the grassland have just been suppressed, and many horse thieves have been killed, but the group that was the most rampant in the previous activities seems to have no movement.

Looking at the form of this caravan being robbed, it seems that the so-called horse thieves have been operating in the area between Naturalization City and Datong Right Guard, but they didn't expect to go to the east, and it is so close to Naturalization City, so they can't be tolerated, so they immediately dispatched a team of 1,000 people to search. ”……

The soldiers of the Tartars were very interested in catching the horse thieves, not to mention anything else, the reward promised by the Great Khan was that whoever exterminated the horse thief, the seized property and livestock belonged to whom, and there was no need to hand it over, and it was said that the merchants of the Naturalization City and the Ming Dynasty also gave a reward, and this reward was also very rich.

This account is very easy to calculate, as long as this gang of horse thieves is destroyed, not to mention that they will be famous and promoted in the Ministry of Response, and the seized property can be eaten and used for several lifetimes.

And no matter how fierce the horse thief is, he is just a horse thief, and it is difficult to compare to the elite of the Ministry of Answering across the grassland, as long as he is caught, he will send meat to everyone.

Although everyone is enthusiastic, but things that are considered good errands can only be taken by those who have something to do with the Great Khan, and the face of the three ladies in the naturalized city is the largest, and this task of clearing is obtained by a thousand commanders of the three ladies guard, and everyone is envious, but they dare not say anything.

There are less than 20 days left for the Spring Festival, and the people in and outside the city of Naturalization are accustomed to celebrating the festival, but the cavalry who went out of the city to suppress thieves were very excited.

"Everyone, go and come back quickly, we know that it has been almost five days since the news came out, and it is our luck to catch up, if we can't catch up, we will hurry back and drink wine and eat meat!!"

Before leaving, the commander said this to his subordinates, and the group of people embarked on the road of tracking in a relaxed mood, and the caravan also had a man to follow and lead the way, after all, the place where it was robbed was only halfway through, and there were no special landmarks or anything like that

There are foothills to the south and west of the city, but in the east, there is a vast grassland, but in winter, it is white, and there is no greenery.

After walking for three days, the guy led the Tartar cavalry to a nest (I don't know if it's this word, Baidu hasn't seen any relevant entries for a long time, and it just so happens that I can't see it clearly on the map...... depressed). The "nests" in the grasslands generally refer to the hilly surroundings where there is a freshwater lake.

Such a place is a small tribe of the grassland in winter, which can be protected from wind and snow, and there is water diving that can be used, and when I walked here, I saw a small tribe stationed there.

After three days of sleeping in the open, the thousand-man team sent by the Ministry of Answers also needed to be repaired, and they had to rely on it, according to the habits of the grassland, if this tribe had no strength, it was possible to take advantage of the situation to wash him.

However, the first spies looked over and found that there were thousands of horses outside the tribe, and there were also a lot of other livestock, and at such a scale, the scale of the young and strong men inside would probably not be less than five hundred.

Now the three ladies cherish these forces under their hands very much, rashly damaged, I am afraid that the sin is not small, since they have made up their minds not to do it, then naturally everything will come according to the rules.

For example, first send someone over to say hello, and then see if the other party has the intention of hospitality, if not, then stay away, on the grassland, reported the name of the monk of the Altan tribe Guleng Khan, and no one dared not to entertain.

This small tribe also has people who watch and watch, and when they saw the people coming here, they also made a guard early, and when they came here to say hello, the reply was also given quickly.

It's okay to entertain, but you can't enter the tribe, you will set up a bonfire outside, set up a pot stove to cook for hospitality, and don't think about anything else.

The grassland is a lawless place, and the large and small tribes are afraid of being annexed by each other's fire, and they are very wary of each other, and they can give such a reply, which is actually quite good.

A cauldron is formed at the edge of the nest, hay is used as fuel, clean ice and snow are turned into water and boiled, and the sheep are slaughtered, skinned, and then thrown into the pot, and the fragrance is not long in the air.

Marching and tracking, naturally there will not be any too good food to eat, now there is hot mutton and soup, the cavalry of the Tartar Thousand People are relaxed, and they have dismounted in this clearing, the water and grass nest here, the water and grass are more prosperous than elsewhere, and the Mongolian horse has this advantage, you can dig up the ice and snow by yourself to find grass to eat, let go of them, and let them trim.

The mutton was cooked, and the cavalry of the Ministry of Answering brought their own salt, and the captain of the thousand people even had pepper in his hand, which naturally tasted extremely sweet.

"Go and ask if there's any wine, we can give money or salt!"

Sometimes in the steppe, this salt is more useful, any Mongolian tribe always has mare's milk wine, since they have begun to entertain, the sheep have been killed, it will not be a pity for this mare's milk wine, someone went over to say a few words, and the bags of wine were taken out over there.

There was wine and meat, and everyone was very comfortable, but they didn't know where the guy who led the way had gone, and no one paid attention to whose tent he had drilled.

"Chase for another day, let's go back, go back and be like the fire of the Han people's good wine, not much stronger than this sour!!"

"There are a lot of good things in the Ming Kingdom, the wine is 10,000 times better than ours, and the women are also whiter and tender than ours, naturalize those in the city, tsk......"

"It's a pity that there is a collegiate discussion, otherwise we will also rush into Daming, what do we want!!"

"It's not that the 10,000 households that walked on the side of Huibian last year were killed by Daming more than 10,000 horsemen, and the soldiers and horses in the south have also become stronger, so it's not easy to fight!!"

"It's not Najit's waste, not under the command of the Great Khan, but with those soft eggs in Horqin, the original wolf will also become a sheep, if Da Ming has such a ability, why did Datong these Ming troops never dare to go north? It is said that this time the Great Khan asked the Ming army in the south to withdraw, and if it is not withdrawn, we will start to move south next year. ”

The last person to speak was the commander, he was in a high position, obviously his status was different, and he knew more about the inside story, as soon as he said this, the people below were excited.

"I saw some men in this tribe just now who are very decent, so it is better to persuade them to go back with us, and the master will be happy at that time......

"It's a little strange to say, in the past, there were always children who came out to watch the excitement, and there were women to help clean up, why didn't this small tribe."

At this point, the drunken and relaxed crowd was shocked, and they looked around, only to find that the people of this small tribe were gone.

It's not that I didn't notice that in the tribe, on the hills of the grass nest, the "herdsmen" of this tribe are all riding horses, holding big swords and spears in their hands, stretching their bows and arrows, and looking coldly at this thousand-person team.

"Kill!! Don't let one go!! ”

Ma Sanbiao waved the big knife in his hand and roared and ordered.
