[Lumine] Volume 2: Song of Winter Chapter 291 Growing Strong (II)

"The imperial court controls the military generals, all on military salaries and grain and grass. The lord has a business name in his hands, and he has a marriage with the Jin merchants, if you meet a mediocre governor, you may be able to tolerate you, but Duke Lu will never dare to let you grow up and grow to the end of the big and can't get rid of it, not to mention that you still have entanglements with the Mongols. The willow picked up a handful of green grass from the ground with the wind and swayed it in the air, and the broken leaves fluttered in the air.

Liu Suifeng really saw the Ming officialdom thoroughly, and shattered the fantasy in Zhai Zhe's heart little by little. Zhai Zhe He couldn't understand these truths, if everything he saw around him was an opponent, whether it was the Mongolian Khan King or the Ming Governor, he would be so tired that day. This can be regarded as the helplessness of being in a high position!

"As long as the adults don't go back to Daming and stretch their necks under the machete, there is no need to be afraid of Lu Gong, in fact, Lu Gong needs adults more than adults need Lu Gong."

Liu Suifeng's words made Zhai Zhe feel a chill.

After the Qing Dynasty retreated, Lu Xiangsheng used the Wang Dengku case to beat the eight families, and he must not tolerate Dongkou to have trade with Liaodong again, and now Xuanda can only rely on Mongolian trade routes. Lu Xiangsheng's war horses and armor to recruit new recruits relied on this silver. With his relationship with Chahar and Tumut, when he was able to control the trade between Xuanda and Mongolia, it meant that he controlled the lifeblood of Xuanda, so Lu Xiangsheng had to meet Ezhe in person.

"I see what you mean!" Liu Suifeng's construction coincides with Zhai Zhe's thoughts, and his original intention of entering the Ming Dynasty is to find a backing for himself.

"The adults don't have much time, there will be a war against Mo Nan next year, the adults should take the brunt, and in two years, it is difficult to guarantee that Lu Gong can still tolerate the adults to control the business alliance!"

More than ten days later, Liu Quan and Zong Mao arrived in Liangcheng from Hukou.

On the edge of Liangcheng, Omubu Khan personally took Ge Ri Letu and Mao Hanyin to discuss the formation of a joint caravan. Zhai Zhe planned to take the Shang Alliance as the lead, unite the forces of the seven Jin merchants and cooperate with the Tumuts, and form caravans to Mobei, Junggar and Modong, and expand trade with the Mongols with all his strength. Naturalization City is the pearl of the steppe, but not every tribe will travel thousands of miles to exchange goods. Those tribes had cheap furs and sturdy horses, which could be exchanged for wealth in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tumut expulsion of the Chahars, the merchant alliance once formed a caravan to Mobei, but later because of the continuous war in Monan, this matter did not continue.

The Ombu Khan was very enthusiastic, this was the benefit of being sent to the door for nothing, and all the Tumuts did was to contact the tribes and order the scout cavalry to find the way. After Zhai Zhe came out of the plug this time, the benefits brought to him continued, making him feel that his sister was not married in vain.

There were only two people in the big tent, Ombu Khan and Zhai Zhe, and the specific details of the caravan were discussed by Mao Hanyin on behalf of Tumut and Liu Quan. Don't look at that man's big ass and thick neck, but he is not stupid at all, and he must seek benefits more than the Tumuts.

There were a few slight conversations outside the tent, and then a young man opened the curtain and walked in, saluting Ombu Khan and Zhai Zhe successively.

"Your Excellency, you summoned me?"

"This young man's name is Zong Mao, and he used to be a member of the Tumut tribe!" Zhai Zhe pointed to him and introduced him to Omubu Khan, "When I only entered the grassland, he followed me!" ”

Zong Mao raised his face, as if he wanted to let Omubu Khan see more clearly.

"Because of what I've done, I can't be in Naturalization City anymore, and he can handle the business on my behalf."

"Hmm!" Omubu nodded.

"Due to some changes in the Ming Dynasty, Naturalization City will usher in more merchants, unlike in the past, there was only one business alliance in my business. The Great Khan knew who those men had worked for, so he had to be careful. No matter which business name, all the war horses, without Zong Mao's consent, want to leave the Naturalization City, please ask the Great Khan to levy two percent! ”

"Is this appropriate?" Omub Khan was skeptical.

"The Great Khan doesn't believe me?"

"It's strange to believe you!" Omubu Khan scolded in his heart, but the benefits that Zhai Zhe brought him this time were still obvious. Besides, Ulan was going to marry the person in front of him, and his opinion of Zhai Zhe in his heart had also changed.

"Even if these war horses are raised in the grassland, they can't let the price of war horses in Daming fall too low." Zhai Zhe had his own reasons, and more importantly, he wanted to put the operations of the other seven firms outside the Saiwai under his control. Fan Yongdou can control Sene, he can only start from Mongolia, so that the two sides can have room for exchange when negotiating business. Even if it's a relative, business is still business.

"You go out, and when you have free time, you can get closer to the commanders of Geriletu and Tokbo!" Zhai Zhe waved his hand and ordered Zong Mao to retreat.

"Yes!" Zong Mao heard Zhai Zhe's words clearly, and his heart was full of joy. Controlling the Merchant Alliance's path to wealth outside Cyprus, and associating with figures like Geriletu and Tokbo, the status he now gained was not comparable to that of his fellow soldiers in the army. Before leaving the fortress, the lady revealed to him that the adult was going to marry Lu Ying to him, which was really a double happiness.

"He's young!" Omubu looked at Zong Mao and couldn't hide his excitement.

"When I came out of the plug, I was even younger than him!" Zhai Zhe chuckled, he forgot that he was already a human being in two lifetimes at that time, "What did the Great Khan think about about that matter?" ”

"Do you really want to build a fort in Liangcheng?" Zhai Zhe's exit from the fortress, Ombu Khan was particularly incomprehensible to this matter, he did not believe that the castles built by those Han slaves could withstand the attack of the Jurchens.

"Not only do I want to build a fort in Liangcheng, but I also have to train the navy on the bank of the Yellow River!" Zhai Zhe revealed a little bit of tone.

"What do you mean!" Omub Khan was a little upset.

"Great Khan, no matter what you think, I still want to say it. After the Chahars annexed the Arukharkyas, they had become the most powerful tribe in Monan, and implored the Great Khan to forget their old hatred and think about the future of the Tumuts. Zhai Zhe arched his hand, "I will cooperate with the Chahar people to train the naval army on the banks of the Yellow River, and I am also looking for a stable rear for the Tumuts." ”

"This is a matter between you and Ezhe, why bother to tell me!" The unhappiness on Omubu Khan's face was even stronger.

"Without the help of the Great Khan, I would not be able to move an inch in the grassland!" Zhai Zhe bowed deeply, "The Alu Khalkha people hate me to the core, Han rode to the Yellow River, I'm afraid that if a warship is not built, it will be secretly killed by those people!" ”

Thinking that Zhai Zhe had borne the sin of killing Chechen Khan for himself, Omubu Khan stopped talking.

"I want to establish a naval army on the banks of the Yellow River in the name of the Tumuts, and ask the Great Khan to give him a title, after all, there are so many Han people in Tumut, as long as those people are given a head, Ezhe can also restrain the people." Zhai Zhe paid so many benefits, of course he asked for something.

"You've got a good plan!" Omub Khan suddenly realized.

"Everything I do is for the stability of Monan, the Great Khan assists me at this moment, and I can also become the backing of the Tumuts after the Ming Dynasty grows stronger!" Zhai Zhe coerced and lured.

"I promise you, your navy will appear with the subordinates of Geriltu, and forget about building the castle!" Omubu watched the tens of thousands of Han slaves under his command very closely, and after sending out more than 1,000 cavalry, he didn't dare to let Zhai Zhe interfere again.

"If the Great Khan doesn't trust me, let the Khan Tent cavalry supervise, and I can even find craftsmen in Daming!"

"No way!" Omub Khan was categorical.

Zhai Zhe was helpless, thought for a while, and said: "Then please ask the Great Khan to allocate some manpower to me, and I will send someone to reorganize the Han village of Helinger." ”

"What else are you going to do in a place like that?" Omub Khan was puzzled.

"I'm going to make armor and knives for the Mongols, does the Great Khan think it's easy to get those things out of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhai Zhe actually wanted to leave a base outside the Saiwai. He now relies on Daming to provide grain and grass supplies in the army, and Datong Town will transport grain to Desheng Fort for storage a month in advance, and then he himself will send a baggage battalion to the grassland every half a month. This is Lu Xiangsheng's tightest hand stuck in his neck, no matter how much power he expands in the grassland, the food provided without a reserve is a flash in the pan. The Han Department had been operating in Hanzhai for five or six years, except that it was not equipped with artillery and bed crossbows and other sharp weapons to defend the city, but from the terrain point of view, it was a little stronger than Desheng Fort, and it was most suitable for storing grain and grass.

"Do you want me to give you the identity of the Tumutes?" Omubu Khan sneered.

"Can I be separated from the Tumuts?" Zhai Zhe was cheeky.

"Look at Ulan's sake! I promise you! Omubu Khan sighed, he really had no other way but to rely on Zhai Zhe now. Tumut is weakening day by day, with the Qing Dynasty as the enemy in the east, and the Chahar people in the west eyeing him, only by pinning his hopes on Zhai Zhe to grow stronger in the Ming Dynasty can Tumut survive and breathe.

"Do you remember what I once said, I will never lose the Tumutes, and I still count!" Zhai Zhe basically got what he wanted, and hurriedly said a few nice words.

"I hope so!"

The Tumuts are Zhai Zhe's reliance, and the Chahars are his companions, and only by resolutely holding these two Mongolian tribes in his hands can he show his greatest value. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to see Ezhe, probably because he also knew that after he married Ulan, it would be difficult to use any means against the Tumuts.

After planning with Omubu Khan, waiting for the end of the wedding with Ulan, Zhai Zhe also went to meet Ezhe. With such a big movement in the Monan grassland, he couldn't hide it from the Chahar people, and Ezhe must have been waiting anxiously.

In the Zhangba grassland, thousands of cavalry galloped on the empty grassland, like waves beating forward.

The ground is the seat, the sky is the curtain, and Zuo Ruo's shout is swallowed up in the empty grassland. After being stationed in Liangcheng for a month, Zhai Zhe's cavalry was unwilling to be lonely and stepped into the Zhangba grassland. The newly joined cavalry began to practice from the queue and gradually became familiar with combat habits, which was not a one-day and one-month effort, but fortunately, the next time they stepped into the battlefield was still very long.

The silent Feng Qin did not like to use shouts to train cavalry like Zuo Ruo, and his queue all listened to the horn action, and he had to memorize the horn command first, so the training progress should be slower. Zhai Zhe led his own guards to watch the training of two cavalry, these two were his most powerful subordinates, and he had to choose one person to join Tumut to run the Han village and command the naval army.
