Chapter 137: Conquering Sayin Shanda
"I answer, it's me who blames you! I apologize to you and go! Let's drink and go! Although Nashun said this, he was not embarrassed to pull Mandula away from what happened just now, "No, I will go into the city later!" Drink it right here! "Drinking? If you can enter the city, then you can drink it later, if you can't enter the city, then Timur will definitely not give good wine in the future, so weighing the pros and cons, this will be all Mandurah thinks about entering the city.
"That's it?" Nashun looked at the thousands of pairs of eyes around him staring at the wine in his hand, and felt like he was in a wolf's den. Twenty or thirty people drank the wine of ten horses and scored, two thousand people, do you want to eat fists? In order to grab alcohol and drink, there have been several fights in the city, and a few times they are still group fights.
"Okay!" Said so, but Nashun didn't do it for a long time.
Mandula knew what he was thinking! I picked up a bag and drank it. After seeing Mandula drink it, Na Shun picked up the wine bag and drank it with confidence.
Mandula looked at him so cautiously that he thought to himself, "Drink! Drink it! This wine is very energetic! "In the Great Khan's tent, Mandula had already learned it himself.
The wine that Zhao Yun gave to Timur was good wine, but he forgot that Timur was not a bartender, so he mixed all the wine he brought and divided it. As a result, the alcohol that was recently issued to the soldiers was chaotic and frightening.
Nashun drank a few sips carefully, and after he got down, he chatted with Mandula for a few words, and he didn't find any chronic poison in the wine, so he was completely relieved.
"Come and get the wine!" Greeting behind him, the team on Nashun's side all rushed over to get the wine and drank. Mandula also generously let his army bring out all the wine in the army to entertain them.
Mandula himself made a gesture with his mouth to the sac, until several of the chiefs had drunk two or three sacks. Mandula suddenly threw the wine bag and shouted, "Someone, they're all tied up for me!" The guards around him took advantage of the drunkenness of several leaders and tied them all up.
Mandula was on the road again in half an hour, and the more than 2,000 Saiyin Shanda cavalry who came to intercept them were tied up like rice dumplings and all of them were put down, leaving 500 cavalry guards in place.
Quickly swept forward to clear the checkpoint, and after a few steps, he noticed that a cavalry was rushing in the direction behind him.
"General Mandula, are you alright?" A wind cavalry of the Outer Mongolian Legion wearing a mask stepped forward and said.
"It's okay! You're coming so fast! "Mandula thought they had come to steal the credit.
"Our outpost saw that you were intercepted, and thought you needed reinforcements, so they rushed over!"
"Alright, it's okay now, let's get going!" When he heard that he was here to support, Mandula's heart was still warm, and no one wanted to be abandoned by his own people!
This time, there was no one to stop them all the way, and it is estimated that the other party thinks that two thousand people to clean up one thousand people is enough.
All the way to the bottom of the city of Saiyin Shanda, in the gloomy sky, it began to snow again.
It is estimated that few people will leave the city in this weather, so the city gate is not closed yet, and a few sentries stand guard at the gate with their feet stomped. There was no movement on the castle tower.
"What now?" Mandula asked the leading wind cavalry.
"You're a striker officer, you look at it!" The Wind Cavalry said without a trace of emotion, and the order he received before setting off was to obey Mandula's command and save Mandula's life if necessary.
"Okay, rush over and take the city gate, then this city is ours!" That's what Mandula is waiting for, you look at it!
"Okay, we'll listen to you!" The Wind Cavalry responded.
"!" Mandula ordered.
"Toot!" The melodious sound of the horn still spread far away in this bad weather of wind and snow.
Noise began to appear in the city where the horn was heard, but the Chechen cavalry roaring past interrupted the noise.
That night, Sainshanda fell. The defenders of Sainshanda don't even know who had captured it.
The Mongol army in the city prepared to retake the city gates, but after only one charge, they were beaten back by a heavy rain of bullets, and the attacking team suffered heavy casualties.
As soon as the main force of Timur's Outer Mongolian army arrived, the princes and nobles of Sainshandari were served in a pot.
Sain Sandari's army was pitifully small, and there was no resistance at all. The entire urban area is only 4 square kilometers. It can be called a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is an important city in Outer Mongolia.
The army led by Timur was outside the city, and it had already surrounded the entire city on a large scale, slowly shrinking the encirclement, so all the defenders did not run.
This place belongs to the Gobi Morigen King Banner, and the whole area is composed of grassland, semi-desert and Gobi desert areas. The area under its jurisdiction is very large, estimated to be about 100,000 square kilometers. The surrounding population is about 4 or 50,000 people, and there are nearly 1 million head of livestock, and further south you can go to the mainland.
There are more than 200 kinds of forage grass with high nutritional value in the surrounding area, the raw plants of the southern counties are white thorn, apricot grass, rhubarb, guest melon, etc., only the annual output of white thorn is 40 tons, and there are more than 250 kinds of animal and plant medicinal materials, among which ephedra, licorice and so on provide conditions for the future pharmaceutical production base.
But there is still some work to be done before the site can be developed.
If it was only to conquer the city, Timur would not have needed to bring so many people. However, in this vast land, there are also areas such as Ikhbaga Dolan, Arigalant, Taheiat, Bogdo, Bodezhishan, Tolet, Tazhiyaqi, Elebayan, Haoyazhizan Grassland, Guzhbanbayan, and the vast Gobi of Bomubat, etc., which need to be inspected to prevent bandits or People's Party troops remaining here.
The soldiers of Chechen Khan appeared to tell the soldiers captured here and gained their trust. It was originally a neighbor, but with the soldiers of the Chechen Ministry coming forward, the pacification of the city was much faster.
Pacification is the premise of development, and Saiyin Shanda is about to start a large-scale construction.
Advance airfields to provide rest places for airplanes, defensive turrets, castles for garrisons, and so on were to be built.
The local captured army left 400 and 600 Chechen Mongol soldiers to form a new garrison, and Timur left 4,000 monks to pacify the local population and build up the popular base of the region. 5,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry from the Outer Mongolian camp were left behind to prevent the attack of Kulen. Although it will not be built as strong as the garrison of the Chechen Khan, it is also the gateway to the south of Outer Mongolia.
The number of cattle and sheep that died in the "White Plague" was too many for the Mongols, a full 200,000 heads, including sheep, goats, and cattle. These can not be consumed by the Mongolians themselves, if they are sent to Hebei and other places by horse-drawn carriage, although the weather is cold, it can not be broken for a while, but the bad weather also affects the travel, once the transportation time is too long, these cattle and sheep will be broken on the road. Therefore, after obtaining Zhao Yun's consent, Timur waved his hand and bought all of them at half price.
After skinning here, people are buried in deep snowdrifts, frozen hard and ready for large ice cubes.
This sheepskin and cowhide are genuine leather!
In fact, the leather is a very general statement, the leather has the first layer of skin, the second layer of skin, are real animal skin, the first layer of skin is divided into all green skin and half green skin (according to the process).
And fake leather is artificial leather, according to the order of superiority and disadvantage, it is microfiber leather, environmental protection leather, imitation leather, etc., but it is estimated that none of these are now.
Therefore, the demand for leather in the market is inverted.
If it is said that the sports shoes of later generations are more microfiber leather, there are fewer who have bought genuine leather. At that time, the leather shoes were all genuine leather shoes, and most of them were made of two-layer leather.
In later generations, the leather furniture generally said that it was only used in the contact position of the human body, and imitation leather was used in the places that could not be touched. The difference lies in whether the dermis is the first or second layer of leather. But at this time, no matter which part is the same, all of it is leather, so you can imagine how much leather it takes.
In later generations, the easiest way to distinguish between real and fake leather is to press the leather surface with your fingers, and the genuine leather will be wrinkled, and artificial leather will not. If you have leather shoes, you can only touch the leather surface and see the feel, and the pores are delicate and the feel is also delicate. But these tricks are completely useless at this point, because the fake ones are more expensive than the real ones.
The hides will be sent to the Chechen Ministry for people to be steamed and sold to Shanxi merchants as goods next spring.
After the airstrip was built here, the 400 transport aircraft began to be transported to Jiangnan. I plan to work overtime in the past few days to transport all of them to Jiangnan.
The price of sheep in Mongolia is cheaper than that in the mainland, and it is purchased at half price, so it is much cheaper than that in Jiangnan.
Outer Mongolia is already covered with snow, and the first snow in Jiangnan has not yet fallen!
Zhao Yun, who is in the south of the Yangtze River, has already notified Deputy County Magistrate Xu, Zhou Luo and the Cheng family brothers, arranged sales, and set sales incentives, and everyone has a commission.
This is everyone's favorite place for Zhao Yun, every time he works, he gets a red envelope. Then they all took some back and distributed them to the soldiers below and the workers of the shipyard and cement factory as the year-end benefits were paid in advance.
Deputy county magistrate Xu contacted several surrounding counties, Zhou Luo contacted local restaurants, and Cheng brothers contacted big families in towns and villages.
These people were ordered to be ready to receive. As soon as the frozen sheep arrived, someone immediately pulled them away.
However, this amount is too large, and only a few counties in Jiangnan have not been able to digest it. The one in Nanjing and the one in Zhejiang are staring at this!
Both of them are from Shandong, and they eat a lot of hot pot! The smell of sheep has long since drifted to them. With a stroke of the pen, Zhao Yun sold it to the two of them at the price of cabbage, earning an errand fee and pleasing the two families.
In the north this year, there are not many sheep and the price of mutton is soaring, in the land of fish and rice, every household in Jiangnan has opened mutton meat.
Take people softly, eat people softly! Zhao Yun, the strange county magistrate, has increased his popularity a lot in the reputation of every household.
Of course, Zhao Yun, a local sheep farmer, also made arrangements, and Zhao Yun contacted many northern representatives he knew at the auction to subscribe for sheep and deliver them to his door. Live sheep from the south, as well as some live sheep from Mongolia, began to be transported backwards from the south to the north.
Zhao Yun made a lot of money again.
Ten days later, Timur's army began to return.
The threat of the flank of the Chechen Khan has been eliminated, and the trade route has been opened, and now the road is closed by heavy snowfall, and it is only necessary to send an envoy from here to Jixian County to negotiate trade with the Beiyang government in the spring of next year. And Timur hurried back because the army was about to prepare to attack Kulen after returning to the city.
