"People by the sea?" The second monk Ning Sheng couldn't figure his head, so he didn't bother to change his mind, just bring the original words.

The Chahar cavalry had just retreated, and the killing of Hukou was still sealed, Ning Sheng did not dare to delay, wrote a letter by hand, and ordered someone to send it to Geng Guang.

Since Geng Guang entered the fortress in the first month, he has not stayed in Hukou, but has been haunting taverns and casinos all over Youyu County.

Youyu County is high and densely forested, adjacent to the grassland, in the past, when there were many merchants, all kinds of local tyrants were breeded, and some silver was collected from the small caravans in the past, of course, the big merchants did not dare to provoke. After the business of killing Hukou was sluggish, the livelihood of these people was lost, and many people came up with the idea of selling goods out of the jam. The road out of Jindi is difficult and dangerous, and there is no one in ten who can survive and return to their hometown, but there are still countless people who are willing to take risks, without him, it is really too poor here.

Eighty percent of Shanxi is dangerous mountains, Taihang Mountain, Luliang Mountain, Heng Mountain ......, and the rain is scarce, the land is barren, and the harvest is almost every year. Someone once said that "there is no flat land and fertile soil, no benefit of water spring irrigation, no benefit of boats, cars, fishing and rice, the villagers can only cultivate the mountains and go down to Han, sweat cattle and serve in pain, and look up to the sky to continue their lives."

As Amur of the Chahar tribe said, it will take time for the situation in the Monan steppe to ease.

Although the Han people are still somewhat afraid of the Chahars, there are always people who are willing to take risks in order to make a living.

The firm is still waiting, and someone from the smuggling horse gang has acted first. They are interspersed on both sides of the border pass of the Ming Dynasty, walking in the mountains and mountains, avoiding the checkpoints of the border block, no need to bribe and buy through, and successfully make a profit several times at a time, even if they risk their lives, it is better than sitting at home and waiting for poverty and death.

The Chahar herders needed supplies from the Han Chinese, at least they couldn't do without tea, salt and even iron cooking utensils. Of course, the tribes can exchange it from Zhangjiakou, but if someone is sent out of the Ming border, some tribes will slowly learn to accept it.

The Black Tiger Mountain on the east side of the killing Hukou began to venture out of the fortress in February. The smuggling road was full of blood, the dense forests of Black Tiger Mountain were full of killings, and there were many people who escaped from the Tumo River with no place to go, and there were some scattered bandits. Even if the smuggling caravan made it to the grasslands, the future was uncertain.

Geng Guang took the silver from Ning Sheng's hand, and began to spend all kinds of wine outside, inquiring about all kinds of news. It's easy to find smugglers and horse gangs to cooperate in Youyu County, but Geng Guang's vision and pickiness make ordinary people unable to get into his eyes.

When Ning Sheng's sealed letter was delivered to Geng Guang, he was preparing to leave the fortress from Black Tiger Mountain.

He recently picked a horse gang leader, nicknamed Boss Chen, this person looks like an honest peasant, not much to say, cautious and meticulous in handling affairs, more than 40 horse gang brothers, and he is also well-known in Youyu County.

Geng Guang wanted to walk the road of Black Tiger Mountain, and Boss Chen accompanied him all the way. The road out of the Black Tiger Mountain is rugged and difficult to travel, and the narrow part of the cliff only allows one horse to pass through Guò, and the Mongolian cavalry cannot pass Guò from this place at all, so the Ming Dynasty did not set up a fortress. Boss Chen knew the terrain of this mountain range well, and told Geng Guang all the way. Although he is familiar with the road, he has no capital.

There were no goods, only two horses, and they were good hands of sixty or seventy people, and no one in the mountains and forests was willing to make a move, and the group crossed the mountains and mountains for nearly two days before reaching the grassland.

After Geng Guang got out of the fortress, he threw twenty taels of silver to Boss Chen, asked him to wait for him at the Black Tiger Pass for two days, and galloped to Lao Ya Mountain by himself.

In the weather at the end of May, the wind outside the plug was particularly pleasant, Geng Guang took off his shirt, and increased the degree of the war horse to a very fast time in the mountain road with his bare arms. It wasn't until I arrived at Lao Yashan that I realized that Zhai Zhe had left this place with a group of people.

Xiao Zhiyan sent someone to take him to Hanzhai overnight.

Geng Guang worked hard all the way to Hanzhai, told Zhai Zhe about the situation in Hukou, and took Ning Sheng's letter \u51

fa comes.

"To occupy the smuggling road in Heihu Mountain, the key lies outside the plug." Geng Guang didn't wait for Zhai Zhe to read the letter, and continued: "After all, Black Tiger Mountain is in Daming, and the smuggling caravan doesn't dare to go too far, not to mention that most of them are locals in Youyu County, and they can't make friends if they move too much!" ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Let Meng Kang lead his troops to block the Black Tiger Mountain Pass, just rob the smuggling caravan a few times, and the reputation will spread, and the Sene people will know that this place is targeted by horse thieves, so they will disperse!"

Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "There is no problem with this matter!" ”

"I also want to bring some more people to the entrance, but the people in the mouth are all locals, and they are unreliable!"

"You pick thirty more people in the cottage!"

Geng Guang squeezed out a smile and said, "Thirty people are enough, as long as the big boss asks Meng Kang to cooperate with me, I will definitely be able to handle the things in my mouth well!" ”

"Your people are very good here, Geng Zhu follows me every day, and Wang Yi is in charge of the affairs in the Han Village, you go and meet them!" I'll go to Montenegro with you tomorrow! ”

Geng Guang took his leave, he hadn't seen his family and friends for months, and he wanted to know about their current situation.

Only then did Zhai Zhe take the time to open Ning Sheng's letter.

"People by the sea?"

He whispered a few times, thinking for a while, wasn't that the Jurchen people in Liaodong? Liaodong is located on the coast of the East China Sea.

The Jurchens want to secretly contact the Tumuts! Zhai Zhe sneered and slowly tore the letter to shreds, it seems that Fan Yongdou's Da Shengkui is no longer just doing business with Liaodong, and the cooperation between the two has entered a new stage. This letter must not let Princess Ulan know that he does not want to push the Tumutes to the Jurchens yet.

The Hanzhai in the deep mountains is quiet and peaceful, and the flowing water of the Tumao River accompanies it day and night like a quiet music, turning this place into a paradise that does not understand the world, and occasionally the water wanderers can drive a boat to fish out some fish in the river water. In addition to the craftsmen in the cottage, other people are not busy, every day is to repair the earthen house, according to the current plan, the Han village can accommodate nearly 5,000 people at most.

Geng Guang saw the clansmen and listened to Wang Yi's story, and most of his heart was settled. Even in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, his eyes were full of \u

"Brother Geng, only by following the big boss can we tide over the difficulties!" Wang Yi is now dead set on Zhai Zhe. It's better to say it well than to do it well, seeing the golden millet in Hanzhai, a year's reserve of grain is enough, how can you not convince him.

Geng Guang nodded, and also said: "I will do it for my brothers in Heihu Mountain, at least it is much easier than us pulling teeth from the Mongols in the grassland." ”

"Geng Zhu is learning literacy and reading with me these days, you used to care about him uselessly, a word from the big master, he has to learn if he doesn't learn!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

"I said a long time ago, it's too late now, and I can't participate in the scientific examination after studying!" Speaking of his son, Geng Guang always hated iron and steel, and then asked: "The big boss still likes him, right?" ”

The corners of Wang Yi's mouth twitched, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "The big boss likes him very much." ”

Geng Zhu is different from the shepherd slave soldiers selected by Zhai Zhe, those people grew up in the bitter tank since childhood, Zhai Zhe promoted them to pro-soldiers, and let Wang Yijiao read and write, all of them are dead set on Zhai Zhe, and they dare not slack off on weekdays. But Geng Zhu is Geng Guang's favorite, and he was also a young master in the cottage, and when he came to Zhai Zhe's side, he was always a little reluctant to do things, Wang Yi didn't want to tell Geng Guang about these things for the time being, and only hoped that he would have a good life to persuade Geng Zhu.

Becoming Zhai Zhe's personal soldier is the best opportunity for young people in the cottage, but unfortunately Geng Zhu doesn't know how to cherish it. Even Wang Yi could see that sooner or later his position would belong to that Zong Mao. That young man was too smart, and he could read and read and settle accounts at all.
