The little bird and the chilly autumn wind woke Yue Yang up from his sleepiness, and Yue Yang, who was drowsy on horseback, looked at the endless grassland in front of him, and a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, it has been ten days since he entered the grassland, and the excitement when he first entered the grassland has been replaced by boredom, and more importantly, after riding the horse for so many days, Yue Yang's inner thighs have been worn out, and now he is a little limping when he walks.

"Nephew Yue Xian, now that we have reached the edge of the Horqin tribe, we can enter their tribe as long as we walk for another half an hour." Just when Yue Yang was bored, a slightly old voice sounded beside him.

Yue Yangtou touched his sore waist and said impatiently: "Master Li, I said that you have nothing to do, why do you run so far to do business, there are Mongolian tribes not far from Datong Mansion, why don't we do business with them, but run to such a place so close to Jiannu, I think you are purely full of food!" ”

"Your kid's guts are really boundless!" Li Yuan was startled, looked around and said nervously: "You have to remember, from now on...... No...... From now on, you must not mention the title of Jiannu again, the Horqin tribe is a loyal ally of Houjin, if they hear you insulting Houjin so much, let alone buy horses with them, I'm afraid your life will not be guaranteed. ”

"I ......" Yue Yang thought about it and then remembered that the predecessor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the Jianzhou Jurchen Sanwei, since **Hachi rebelled against the Ming, the Ming Dynasty officials began to use the names of Jiannu and Jianthief to call **Hachi and Jurchen. For Hou Jin, this title naturally contains a lot of contempt and insult, and if the Manchu people hear it, they will definitely play with themselves.

"Well, if you don't say it, you won't say it." Yue Yang nodded stupidly, and then he asked a little puzzled: "By the way, you haven't answered my question just now." ”

Li Yuan said a little helplessly: "Needless to say, you also know that the relationship between our Jin merchants and the Manchus is very close, the Manchu Mongolian tribes themselves do not produce, only hunt and graze, where do the living materials they need come from, and they are not transported from our Daming." But there is also a place for doing business, and the business of those tribes near the border or relatively wealthy tribes has long been booked by those big merchants, and those of us who do small business can only find those remote small tribes to do business. ”

Yue Yang waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, let's not talk about this." By the way, when I first left the customs a few days ago, I saw that many carriages were carrying heavy goods. I look like an iron tool! ”

Li Yuan snorted lightly and said, "What are iron weapons, they are originally armor weapons!" Do you think that Houjin's weapons and armor are all made by themselves, just by their pitiful blacksmiths? We didn't sell it to them yet! ”

"What? Do we still sell weapons and armor to them? Isn't this a capital enemy?"

Yue Yang was shocked, originally he thought that although those merchants had a close relationship with Houjin, they would sell some iron pots, tea bricks, salt and other necessities at most, but he didn't expect that those merchants would be so bold that they even dared to sell weapons and armor, this is no longer as simple as smuggling, this is **naked treason!

"Rivals?" Li Yuan sneered, with a sneering look in his eyes, "They are rivals, so what are we?" ”

"It's the same." Yue Yang shook his head, "Let's sell some tea bricks, iron pots, salt and other things to the Mongols, this is nothing, they use these things, this is completely different from selling armor and weapons to them, Houjin has excellent weapons and armor, but the threat to our Ming is too great, don't they know this truth?" ”

"What if you know?" Li Yuan sighed lightly, "Do you know how many businessmen in Shanxi have collusion with Houjin?" Let me tell you, the eight largest firms in Shanxi are all inextricably linked with Houjin, and every time Houjin loots a large amount of gold and silver from our Daming, is it for their own use? No...... In the end, most of this gold and silver fell into the hands of the eight merchants, and then exchanged for a large number of weapons, armor, food, clothing and other things, which flowed into Houjin's hands in a steady stream, otherwise the gold and silver could not be eaten or drunk, and what did Houjin do when he grabbed so much gold, silver and jewelry? Is it fun to watch? And every time Houjin enters the customs, he can choose the place where our Ming defense is the weakest and the least troop is strong, this is why, no one has ventilated for them! ”

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Yue Yang couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, when he used to study, he also heard that the Jin merchants in Shanxi had a deep connection with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he didn't expect it to be so deep, the Jin merchants not only sold weapons, armor, clothing, food and other daily necessities to Houjin, but also acted as an intelligence officer and a spy, this traitor can be sold thoroughly enough.

"What about the Horqin tribe, what is their relationship with Houjin?"

"What's the relationship?" Li Yuan snorted twice, and said angrily: "If you say which Mongolian tribe is the most thorough in Houjin, the Horqin tribe is definitely the most thorough one, and the Great Khan Emperor Taiji of Houjin has two side concubines who are from the Horqin tribe. ”

"I cǎo...... So ruthless! ”

Yue Yang was secretly surprised in his heart, feeling that the place he was going to was a die-hard supporter of Houjin, it would not be good if he exposed his identity after beating the Horqin tribe later, he had better prepare first! Thinking of this, Yue Yang hurriedly pulled out a whistle from his neck and blew it vigorously.

"Toot toot toot...... Toot Toot ......"

The loud and rapid whistle echoed in the empty grassland, and before Li Yuan could react, the surrounding Yuejiazhuang regiment trainers dressed as guards immediately stopped, and the surrounding carts also stopped.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers who were originally only dressed in civilian clothes all changed into Gothic armor, some of the soldiers picked up their spears and carried strong crossbows, and some of them carried shields and long swords and heavy swords.

Seeing the group of murderous soldiers around him who were ready to fight at any time, Li Yuan was stunned and stammered, "Nephew Yue Xian, are you ...... What are you doing? ”

"What? Naturally, I want to protect myself" Yue Yang squinted at Li Yuan and said angrily, "Since the Horqin tribe has such a good relationship with Houjin, there must be people from Houjin in their tribe, what if they turn their faces with us later?" Naturally, I had to be ready! ”

"You ......" Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but explain with a wry smile: "You can rest assured, although the Houjin and the Mongolian tribes often meet with our Ming soldiers, they have an unwritten agreement, that is, they will never attack the caravan." After all, once this kind of thing is exposed, who will dare to do business with them in the future, so you put your heart in your stomach, and there will be no problems. ”

Yue Yang's head shook like a rattle, "No, as the old saying goes, you can't hurt people and you can't have the heart to defend people, we still have to be careful!" ”

"But if you let your soldiers enter Horqin's territory in full clothes like this, it will be easy for them to misunderstand!" Li Yuan still tried to persuade Yue Yang to order the soldiers to take off their armor and put on civilian clothes, but Yue Yang just disagreed, and insisted on letting the soldiers enter the territory of the Horqin tribe fully armed, in Yue Yang's words, "We also have to let the Horqin tribe see the majesty of our Ming Dynasty!" ”

In the end, Li Yuan had no choice but to let him go, and in this way, Yue Yang and his party of 2,000 people escorted more than 300 carts into the territory of the Horqin tribe......
