Mao Xiang and the others looked at Ye Qing's back walking in a dashing manner,

They really couldn't understand how Ye Qing could behave so easily in the face of such a difficult problem, as if it was as simple as going to a meal for him.

Thinking of this, Mao Xiang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already wearing armor.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not as frowning as the young men in Jinyiwei, he also knows that this problem is indeed very tricky.

The border pass is a prosperous place for border trade in peacetime, and a place where soldiers must fight for in wartime!

But because of this, there is often a thorny problem, that is, the war comes too quickly, and it is simply too late to let all the foreign caravans leave in advance.

You must know that the foreign merchants who come here are just for the sake of purchasing goods and seeking wealth!

Take this Yanmen County as an example, they usually sell their dignity in order to make money, in order to get a tight supply of goods, and in order to get a more favorable purchase price.

Paying a high toll is a trivial matter, accepting the constraints of Yanmen County's rules is a trivial matter, and queuing up at the back door just to ask for an opportunity to talk business with Lord Ye is also a trivial matter.

In short, in a word, in the case of ensuring their life safety and good health, as long as it is profitable, then everything is a trivial matter.

Businessmen always put their interests first, and they can be undignified for the sake of profit, but they are more willing to die than anyone else.

Making money has never been about living better, never about losing your life.

But if you stay in a city that could be breached at any time, you risk losing your life.

So, they're definitely going to gather and make trouble!

But judging from the current situation, they must not be released from the customs.

They are not refugees who have fled, they will run away alone, and they will take their wealth and goods away.

Just the time of this switch was enough for the Northern Yuan army outside the city to take the opportunity to attack it.

But if you don't let them out of the customs, they will keep making trouble, this is the tricky part of the problem, you have to think of a way to not turn it on, but also make them stay willingly!

But Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of such a two-pronged strategy for a while.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, no one in history has ever come up with this kind of two-pronged strategy, and it is simply a dream to want businessmen who only talk about interests and not morality to advance and retreat together with the military and people of Yanmen.

The point is that these businessmen who only talk about profit and not morality are all foreigners, and they don't even have the least sense of belonging to their hometown, so how can they stay here and advance and retreat together?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that under Ye Qing's light and breezy appearance, he must also be anxious.

He didn't suspect that Ye Qing was deliberately pretending to be big in front of them, he only thought that Ye Qing wanted to bear all the pressure alone.

After having such an idea, he just ordered Mao Xiang and the others: "Keep up, not only to protect us, but also to protect him." ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, he immediately followed.

In the eyes of Mao Xiang and others, it was simply a picture that they never dared to imagine.

Ye Qing of the county walks in the middle, Wu Yong of the county walks to the right rear, and the general 'Guo Rui' walks to the left rear!

But this so-called general is not 'Guo Rui' at all, he is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang actually walked in the position of the bodyguard of Qipinzhi County, which is simply something that he can't dream of!

"Keep up, protect Your Majesty, and protect Lord Ye."

Mao Xiang easily gave an order to the ten young men in Jinyi who had already turned into pro-soldiers, and then hurriedly followed.

In the eyes of the young men of Jinyiwei, although their General Mao's voice was very small, there was a hint of imperceptible joy in his expression.

It's as if this scene in front of him is what he wants to see.

Half an hour later,

Ye Qing and the others came to the Yanmen Guanzhong Gate (Iron Wrapped Gate) Square.

In their eyes, the guards of Yanmen Pass stood on the high platform, and it could be said that their voices were hoarse, but the hundreds of foreign businessmen below still did not give up.

A blonde and curly-haired merchant said loudly: "We are not you Ming people, let alone people from Yanmen County, we have no responsibility to advance and retreat with you here." ”

Immediately afterwards, a foreign color master merchant shouted loudly: "Let us out, we have come to do business with you, and we have completely obeyed your rules, and now we are detained here, it is too much!" ”

"He's right, if our goods are lost here, do you know how much gold and silver I will have to pay?"

The guard general held a conical tube wrapped in iron sheets and said loudly: "Have you ever thought about it, there is the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside, what if General Ben switches and releases them, what if they take the opportunity to come in?" ”

"When our homeland is gone, they won't kill you, they won't rob you, the purpose of their coming here is to rob homes, kill people and rob people!"

“.”

Despite the general's reasoning, they still didn't listen.

They even gave an example of the Warring States Period in China, where wars occurred anytime and anywhere, but they would not be embarrassed to represent the merchants who circulated goods.

The war is still fought, the business is still done, that's how it came about.

At the corner of the road,

Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at the scene in front of them, and Zhu Yuanzhang began to frown.

Tricky, it's so tricky!

And Ye Qing next to him still didn't take it seriously, he just asked flatly: "General Guo, do you see the problem?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that the title of General Guo jumped out of Ye Qing's mouth, making him uncomfortable.

If others call him General Guo, it can be said to be an honorific title, but it would be somewhat humiliating for him, the person who forcibly arrested him to be General Guo, to call him General Guo.

Zhu Yuanzhang just said with a serious face: "You still don't call us General Guo, since we promised you to be this temporary General Guo, we will do what we say." ”

"We are also a man of his word, you still call us Lao Guo or Master Guo!"

Ye Qing just looked at this old man Guo who was still playing with his temper and said, "Do you know the weight of a word, you want to rebel?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing and only felt a little stuffy in his chest!

In addition to his sister-in-law, he Ye Qing is the second person who dares to say to him, 'You want to rebel'!

This account is written down!

Now that the enemy is present, he Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to worry too much, he hopes that Ye Qing will have a chance to kneel in front of him and clean up alive!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said embarrassedly: "We are also a person who counts his words, right?" ”

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Although you are old-fashioned and stingy, you are also a person who speaks well. ”

"This matter is not negotiable, since you have put on this purple flower armor and taken over the errand of the temporary general, the official has to call you General Guo."

"It's respect for you, it's respect for this armor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing, who suddenly became serious, and also felt that this was the case.

This is how he and Xu Da get along, Xu Da wears official clothes and stands above the court, they are the relationship between monarchs and ministers.

If Xu Da was in the barracks wearing armor, he Zhu Yuanzhang would not have a 'Xu Tiande'.

But when he accepted this title, he immediately felt that something was wrong, why was he stingy and old-fashioned?

And what does the phrase 'he can be regarded as a man of his own words'?

This matter must be cleared up!

But before he could speak, Ye Qing immediately opened his mouth and asked, "General Guo, do you see the problem?" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he just sighed helplessly, and then looked at the scene in front of him seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang is such a person, once his emotions come up, he doesn't care about anything.

But if you really have to calm down, and with such a person pointing from the side, he can immediately see what the problem is.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others followed Ye Qing's finger and looked in the direction of me, only to see that among the hundreds of foreign merchants, there were nearly 100 people dressed in Mengyuan costumes, and they were talking to each other in various ways.

Obviously, today's scene was made up by them.

"These abominable Mengyuan people!"

Ye Qing listened to such an emotion, and immediately knew that this old man Guo had already seen the problem.

Ye Qing just looked indifferent and said, "Where are they hateful?" ”

"To us, these Northern Yuan merchants are indeed hateful, but their demands are all right!"

"They just want to go home, and they're not wrong!"

"Although they have bad intentions to help the Northern Yuan army, they are not Mengyuan people from the Ming Dynasty, they are Beiyuan people!"

"It is normal and inevitable for the people of Beiyuan to find a way to help Beiyuan."

"If it were us, we would not only do what we would do, but we would also do it in more detail!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang and the others heard this, they immediately fell into contemplation.

Oh, yes!

Analyzing the essence of things, how can we completely substitute our own position, we must consider the analysis in an all-round way.

But even though Ye Qing analyzed it comprehensively, the matter still hasn't been resolved!

After realizing this problem, they immediately looked at Ye Qing again, only to find that Ye Qing had already gotten into his luxury carriage.

"Let's go, my officers' soldiers!"

"Pomp and circumstance in front of these people is the first step to solving the problem."

A moment later,

These troublesome wealthy merchants heard the sound of neat footsteps, and the sound of armor scraping.

They turned around in unison, only to see a dozen sharp-eyed silver-armored soldiers riding in front of them, and the extravagant carriage behind them.

Behind this luxurious carriage were hundreds of sword-wielding servants in vest-style gilt armor.

They all pressed the hilt of their knives with their hands, looking like they were slashing people at any time!

And their eyes that wanted to cut people were also directly aimed at these troublesome foreign wealthy businessmen, especially the businessmen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

With these hundreds of pairs of eyes as sharp as knives, the Northern Yuan merchants who were pouting in the crowd all shut up and lowered their heads.

Soon, the attitude of these hundreds of foreign merchants directly changed from troublesome to reasonable.

"Lord Ye is here!"

"Let's listen to what Lord Ye has to say!"

“.”

I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
