Is it close to Zhu Zhechi? Or is it the near-ink black?

Zhou Xin looked at the small dirt bag in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Tan Zhong's ability is actually not very good, otherwise he would not be unknown in history.

But with Zhu Zhan's eastward expedition to the Japanese Kingdom, this experience is something that no one else can get, and it is a valuable experience, which makes Tan Zhong also improve a little.

At the very least, it's not a bunch of stragglers.

As for this result, it is the little dirt bag in front of Zhou Xin.

However, this little dirt bag was not made by Tan Zhong, but by Xia Yuanji.

"Wei Zhe, aren't you afraid that someone will join you after returning to the court?"

Zhou Xin took his eyes off the small dirt bag and looked at Xia Yuanji.

"So what?" Natsuhara Ji didn't care about the fire.

If you don't mention his identity as a household secretary, Xia Yuanji, who took off his shoes and socks and put his feet on the edge of the fire, looks like an old farmer who has returned from work.

"It's just a view of Beijing, and it's not that Daming hasn't built it."

"Besides, there are only about 200 people, what kind of Jingguan is it? It's too much to say he's a mass grave. ”

"I'm not talking about that." Zhou Xin waved his hand.

Regarding Xia Yuanji's imitation of Zhu Zhanyan at the beginning, Zhou Xin has no opinion, let alone any opinion.

As Natsuhara Ji said, there are too few people to be a problem at all.

Besides, these people attacked the Ming officials first, and they were also the head of the household, and now it is so dark, who knows if the enemy has any backup?

Of course, it's a dead hand first.

"And what do you say?" Xia Yuanji still looked very unconcerned, but the expression on his face became gloomy.

"If you want to ask anything else, then I suggest you can ask him directly."

Zhou Xin was a little confused, and looked in the direction of Xia Yuanji's finger......

Tan Zhong.

"I can explain this matter to the Zhou Inspector." The look on Tan Zhong's face remained unchanged, and his ears moved.

"These people, I also thought about leaving some alive to see if I could interrogate some valuable news, but these people all have one thing in common......"

"There is no tongue."

The tongue is an important articulatory organ of human beings, and without a tongue, the words spoken by people will be slurred, and Abba Abba will not be able to hear anything clearly.

In fact, many people think that they will die without a tongue, such as biting their tongue and committing suicide, but in fact, if you are prepared to do this kind of thing, it is still very simple.

Prepare hemostatic medicine in advance, and make people lean down when cutting their tongues to ensure that the blood does not block the mouth and trachea.

"Then ......" Zhou Xin twisted the beard on his chin thoughtfully, and then looked at Xia Yuanji.

"Well, it's unlikely." Xia Yuanji nodded,

Although Zhou Xin didn't say that name, Xia Yuanji also knew that what Zhou Xin wanted to say was Wara.

It's not that the people who arranged this attack were Warats, on the contrary, what Zhou Xin wanted to say was that the people who attacked this attack were not Warats.

The reason is still very simple, now there is only Warat left on the grassland, the Tatars were destroyed as early as the eighth year of Yongle, and the three guards of Wuliang Ha were also swept away from the nobles in the eighth year of Yongle, so that they were completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Then the rest of the people are only Wara, and if you have to add another one, then you can only force the slaves to pull all the departments of the Gandu Division to this side.

However, this is unlikely, because the slave is too far away.

In this case, the murderer can almost only be a Warat, so Warat is the first to get away with it.

There may also be people who think that the light is dark, and Warat may have this idea, both to do bad things and to get away with the crime, but in fact this is not the case.

For now, whether it was the hand of the Warat people or not, Warat could not escape.

It's the hand of Wara, so needless to say, just wait for the Ming soldiers to press the border.

It wasn't the hand of Wara, and Nawarat also had the crime of poor supervision, after all, the place where the mutual market was in Warat and the current border of the Ming Dynasty.

What? You said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty have already walked to Sanfeng Mountain, and this side belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Warat cannot cross the border?

So why didn't you patrol the perimeter before? After all the investigations are clear, there is no place for the real culprit to hide, and the matter will not be eliminated in advance?

To put it bluntly, I am strong and I am reasonable, if you are honest, you will accept it honestly.

"Wei Zhe, what are you going to do?" Zhou Xin looked at Xia Yuanji.

In fact, Zhou Xin already has a way in his heart, but in the team of this mutual market, the person in charge is Xia Yuanji.

Although the two are relatively good in personal relations because of Zhu Zhanyan, in terms of business, both of them are the kind of people who are business-oriented.

"You already have an idea, right?"

Xia Yuanji seemed to have a good relationship with Zhou Xin, and he laughed invariably when his eyes collided.

Following.

Early in the morning, Xia Yuanji and Zhou Xin both got up, but it was not so much that they got up early, but that they didn't sleep all night.

"Will it work?"

At the gate of the makeshift camp, Zhou Xin looked at Xia Yuanji with some concern.

"No problem!" Xia Yuanji laughed and patted his chest.

"Be careful all the way." Zhou Xin sighed lightly, and then nodded at Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji didn't speak, just nodded in response, then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.

A few slightly chaotic voices sounded, Xia Yuanji took the lead, and more than a hundred soldiers followed, speeding towards the south.

"New Nymber?" Zhou Xin sighed lightly and turned his head to look at Tan Zhong.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me next!" Tan Zhong knocked on the heart shield on the armor on his chest.

The makeshift camp was quickly put away, and a small force headed in the opposite direction to Natsuharaji.

……

Suddenly hypothermia.

The three kings of Warat gathered here and sat around the fire pit.

On the bonfire in the fire cage pit, a fat sheep was bubbling with oil, and the three Mahamu had wine in front of them, but they had no desire to eat it.

"You say, what are the Nanming people doing this for?"

I don't know how long it took, but the silence was broken only by the crackling of firewood, and Taiping said as he picked up the water bag containing the wine.

However, no one answered him.

Whether it is Mahamu or Vulture Polo, the expression on his face is solemn and doubtful.

Because, they are not clear either.

From Wara's point of view, although Daming's move was that they and Warat benefited at the same time, in fact, Daming did not need to do this at all.

If it was before, it would not be unusual for Daming to do this, because the situation on the grassland at that time was very complicated, and there was no place for Daming to stand.

Although the Ming Dynasty also had a Hetao, as a Central Plains Dynasty that had always lacked horses, a place like the Hetao was obviously not a place that could be used to herd sheep.

But now, the Ming Dynasty has destroyed the Tatars, occupied a large area of the grassland, and is completely able to raise sheep by himself, and hold the money and grain in his own pockets, and there is no need to distribute it to Warat.

What's more, since the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Tatars, the old Tatar lands that were included in the Ming Dynasty have been idle, and they are used to raise sheep.

"It's useless to think about it now." I don't know how long it took, but Mahamu spoke.

As the most powerful of the three, the current Warat is also the most powerful in Mahamu's voice, which is almost unquestionable.

"We don't know what the Nanming people are doing, but for now, we don't have a choice."

Picking up the wine bag, Mahamu took a sip hard, and the expression on his face was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved.

"Actually, I can probably guess some, if I'm not mistaken, adding wool to the mutual market should be Zhu Zhanyan's idea."

"You thought of it too?" Taiping looked at Mahamu in surprise.

"Heh......" Ma Hamu chuckled, but neither his expression nor his tone could show any lightness.

"It's hard not to see it, right?"

"That Xia Yuanji lifted Zhu Zhan out several times, seemingly trying to suppress the joy, so as to achieve the effect of lowering the price of wool, giving people a bluffing feeling."

"But actually, some things could be bluffing, but some things could be true, like the wool thing."

"Now our relationship with Nanming is not good, but there are also some people who can enter Nanming, if those wools are really what Zhu Zhanyan wants, it should not be difficult to hear."

"And, finally, don't you think this wool trade feels a little familiar?"

Taiping and Bald Polo glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Taiping and Bal Polo both guessed that the matter was related to Zhu Zhanyan, but they guessed it from Xia Yuanji's words as Mahamu said.

In addition, Taiping and Vulture Polo also believe that no one can control the current grassland except for Zhu Zhanyan, the little calf who killed directly without reason.

They are not afraid of Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, or the generals of the Ming Dynasty, because in the eyes of the Warat people, these people are all "reasonable".

If the opponent is these people, then the result will not be much worse, no matter how bad it is.

But Zhu Zhanyan is different!

In the eyes of the Warat people, this little calf who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and does not even talk about reason, can never face it head-on.

If you face Zhu Di and others, at least you can go home alive, but if you face Zhu Zhanyan, then there will really be nothing.

It was precisely because of this fear, coupled with the fact that at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner the year before last, Zhu Zhanyan gave Dehuan a sheath in public, which made Taiping and Bald Polo feel that there was a shadow of Zhu Zhanyan in this matter.

Isn't that nonsense!? Even the Warat people know that except for Zhu Zhanyan, no one else can control them, can Da Ming see it?

But if it were anything else, they really hadn't thought of it, let alone the familiarity.

"Alas......" Mahamu shook his head slightly, obviously disappointed.

"You forgot? How did Zhu Zhanyan's little calf deal with Siam, Nanzhang, Khmer and Cham before? ”

Taiping and Bald Polo were shocked.

If you don't say it, as soon as Mahamu said this, the two of them immediately thought of it.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanqi wantonly spread the news of high-yield new grain in Yunnan, causing a large number of people from Khmer and other countries to lose their lives, and all of them poured into Annam.

Now that I think about it, it really resembles wool.

For those cultivated civilizations, land and grain cultivation were the most important things, and the people of Khmer and other countries saw a bright future of food in the body of high-yield new grain.

In addition, Zhu Zhanyan can be said to have explicitly encouraged those people to leave their original country and enter Annan, how could those who have been dealing with land all their lives not be moved?

For the nomadic people of the steppe, cultivating civilized land and grain is the same as their pastures and livestock.

Although Daming did not provide them with livestock that fattened faster, it was able to directly double the value of their livestock!

In addition, if you take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, it is very likely that you will be arranged on the pasture of the old Tatar land.

The herders on the steppe had coveted the pasture for a long time, and even after the rulers of Mahamu, there were still a few herders who occasionally crossed the border to graze.

The abundant pastures that no one grazes, one sheep can sell for the price of two sheep, which is equivalent to cultivating the land and high-yield grain for the nomads.

Thinking of this, Taiping and Vulture Polo couldn't help but gasp.

What happened to the countries that were targeted by Zhu Zhanyan in the first place?

Siam is gone, the royal palace is burned, and the royal family is completely destroyed.

The southern palm is gone, the royal palace is burned, and the royal family is completely destroyed.

Although the remaining Khmer and Cham states were still struggling, they had submitted a petition to the Ming Dynasty shortly before that, requesting the whole country to be annexed.

But even so, Da Ming is still unwilling! also took away the kingship of others, canceled their control over their land, and made them a Ming nobleman who didn't care about anything, and was kept in captivity by the Ming Dynasty for generations!

Thinking of the fate of these countries, Taiping and Vulture also seem to see their own end.

"What then!?" Taiping immediately became anxious, and asked about Mahamu with a white face.

That look, that tone, was like a question.

"What can I do!?" Mahamu's mood was also very irritable.

Because he can't help it.

This kind of strategy is the most direct strategy, you tell you everything, even the enemy tells you, but you just can't help it.

What can you do? Cover the news? No way!

The news of joining the wool trade in the mutual market has long been spread, and almost everyone is waiting for the wool trade to be implemented.

Forcibly let the herders not raise sheep? Or force them to give up the wool trade?

It can't be either.

Although the people are ignorant, although they will not rise up and resist until they are forced to do so, there is a limit.

The people are like a spring, if you gently press him twice, he will obediently bear it, but if you press it directly to the end......

If you and your children and grandchildren can hold them down forever, then it will be nothing, but once there is a child of your children who is not strong enough to hold down this spring, the outcome is self-evident.

Overturning you is the most direct ending, and it may even blow you away.
