Chapter 419: Harmony

In the midst of winter, if there was no very urgent matter between the East Fort and the West Fort of the Tal River, the traffic between them was almost cut off.

The heavy snow outside the pass is not a joke, but in Dongbao, which is close to the settlement of the reclamation manor, Zhang Liang Tiedan and Liu Shisan both began busy preparations. The news of the Mongolian tribes roaming to the west begging for surrender was passed to them through quite backward transmission methods.

The final treatment will only be decided after Jiang Feng's instructions come back. However, in the style of Jiang Feng's behavior over the years, everyone has found some ways. The positions of the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Shri Khanate mentioned by the Mongols are like a prehistoric land outside the pass.

But there is a vast land there, and our own governor will not let it go. We mobilize the stored food and the sacks during the group training. There are also special people to promote the left-behind guards. These guards are military control, but whether to follow the battle is voluntary (of course, it means that if you participate in a certain battle, it is equivalent to a regular army after joining the sequence and you cannot decide without authorization).

Tiedan prepared a large truck of food and grass there. Although it was still frozen for thousands of miles after the Spring Festival outside the pass, the messenger still rode a sled and headed to the capital as soon as possible.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, various tribes outside the pass, including the Mongols, Jurchens, and other foreign races, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, had various ways of handling the surrender and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. The safest ones were given to the fields. These people were given to the fields and gave up grazing and farming on the fields, which was equivalent to becoming Han people.

Some of them mean surrender, or accepting the title of the Ming Dynasty, which is the most unsafe thing. As long as the nation on the horse is free to come and go outside the wall, you are willing to surrender and you are considered a minister of the Ming Dynasty. When you are unwilling to surrender, you will go to the fortress and rob.

However, the 20,000 Mongolians led by the two Wanhu Nayan did not have such a good thing. The ones dealing with them were not those Ming officials who valued the dignity of the Celestial Kingdom, but the Jiang family army who valued strength and profit everywhere. The 20,000 Mongolians who surrendered came to the edge of the grassland controlled by Jiangfeng in November.

Under the obstruction of the garrison and the guards, they could only scatter on the periphery. The commander of Xibao allowed them to sell them essential goods. When paying, everything would have to wait until Jiang Feng's order was sent back before they could be accommodated. At this time, it was already snowing on the grassland. Fortunately, the Mongols had always been carrying a large number of livestock. There was no problem with this winter, but after this, their vitality would definitely be severely damaged.

Fortunately, after Jiang Feng's previous attacks, there was no formed force in the vast area between the Great Wall and Coulomb, and there was still enough room to settle the 20,000 herdsmen.

At the junction of the Thunder Khanate and Russia, the Cossack colonial team equipped with mesh rope guns and light artillery fired only bows, arrows, swords and guns. Although Thunder Khan also wanted to recover the 20,000 people who returned to the south, he had now resisted the continuous invasion of the Russians, and had consumed all his strength and could not draw any man.

A year ago, in the winter of the 17th year of Jiajing, the Roganov family, who were adjacent to the Shri Khanate, received the order from the Tsar that the prosperity of the East was not only on the sea, but also on the road. I needed my ministers to open up this golden road for me. From then on, Count Roganov began to organize a team to march towards the East.

The gap between firearms and cold weapons is getting bigger and bigger. In the Inca Empire in South America, hundreds of Spanish soldiers defeated tens of thousands of Inca soldiers would not appear on the grasslands, but the difference is not much. The teams formed by Cossacks and Slavic serfs can often defeat more than one thousand Mongolian cavalry in three or four hundred people. Fortunately, Count Roganov, who is in the remote Russia guarding, could summon many Cossack free people. The Thibir Khanate can still maintain it here with difficulty, but it is just maintenance.

Although Russia was still a third-rate country in Europe at this time, it was defeated by Poland in the West, and even Moscow was captured several times. It seems that he still has a lot of cheap money to make in the East.

Jiang Feng has a shop in Tianjin Wei. This shop is a relay station that brings together information and documents from outside the pass and Huazhou to pass them to his hands.

Jiang Feng didn't know that there was such a thing outside the pass waiting for his instructions and decisions. At this time, he was listening to his subordinates' stories in the warm room. The follower of Datong Money House could be considered a normal business competition, although it was a life-and-death battle.

However, the spy sent by Sima Tai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was beyond everyone's expectations. Several guards had already advised Jiang Feng not to continue to operate in the Ming Dynasty. The person who was following the stalkers did not hold on, especially when several knives were placed on his neck, they all told him that his surname was Zhang, named Zhang Xiaosan, and he worked in the Minister of Revenue's Mansion.

People like Sima Tai who are in high positions will instruct the people below to do things, of course they will not explain the specific reasons and will not ask anything else.

After asking, the guards just said to him:

"Today, we didn't notice your stalking, do you understand?"

When the spy heard that there was a possibility of letting him go, he thought maybe the other party didn't want to settle the matter, so he nodded repeatedly there and agreed. After the spy was released, Chen Dahu's confidant and Jiang Feng's subordinates stared at him from afar.

He was splashed with a few basins of cold water on his body. In such cold weather, he naturally didn't dare to stay outside for too long. He found the clothes shop and changed his clothes and turned it back directly. He had some skills in following others, but he didn't expect to be followed by others. It must be that he was released back. This made him feel that the other party might be afraid of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It was not surprising that Sanjiang Trading Company was also a well-known business in the capital. When he met the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who happened to be in charge of them, he had to be careful.

He followed him back to the minister's mansion, and then saw this man coming out, selling some snacks on the street, and walked to the front of the house. A happy child came out to greet him, followed by a woman.

Chen Dahu's several confidants did not go directly to disturb him. Instead, they went to the neighbors to inquire about it. This spy was not called Zhang Xiaosan, but called Li Liang. He used to work in the Jinyiwei Fufu Department and lost his job a year ago. However, after spending time, he didn't know that he had got the money there again.

There is an old lady in the family, with a wife and a child. She is usually called a filial child. Although she has the reputation of the Jinyiwei, everyone has a good impression of him.

After hearing the words of Chen Dahu and his confidants, Jiang Feng's guards sold a few snacks on the corner of the street and knocked on the door of Li Liang's house with a smile. After seeing a few guests, Li Liang's face turned pale. When their mother asked, he could only smile and say, "These are all my colleagues, and I'll come to sit at home today."

He was also complained by his mother and wife, saying that a colleague came to do it at home, so why didn’t he say hello in advance? There was nothing at home?

Li Liang, whose face had recovered, could only force a smile to blame his colleagues for complaining, why didn't hello, and then sent his family to the street to buy vegetables. The old lady and his wife took the children out together, and one of the several guards followed him out with a friendly face.

As soon as the family went out, Li Liang knelt down to Jiang Feng's guards, kowtowed repeatedly, and said repeatedly:

"I can do anything, it's just not my family's business."

Naturally, he knew everything at this time, but he couldn't ask anything new. Obviously, Li Liang's concealment just wanted to not involve himself. Regarding the reason why Sima Tai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sent him to follow him, he came to a conclusion based on his professional knowledge in the Jinyiwei.

Sima Shilang may have coveted the Sanjiang Trading Company's industry, so now he has to look for a small mistake in the Sanjiang Trading Company's owners. When the Jinyiwei and the big bosses of the East Factory were trying to seize the property of wealthy families, they used similar methods, but at that time they blatantly investigated them and were directly convicted and confiscated after finding them out.

Nowadays, civil officials have such rights and are very greedy for money and profit. However, they still have a so-called "clear reputation". If someone catches the handle, it is evidence of being attacked by the enemy.

It seems that all we can ask is this. Jiang Feng’s guards did not waste time here, leaving ten taels of silver as compensation for disturbing, and at the same time, one person was left to rent a house nearby, and lived here, followed by two of Chen Dahu’s confidants.

Li Liang smiled bitterly, but his attitude became more and more respectful. The other party did everything without any leakage. Judging from this, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave at night. At the same time, he was secretly shocked. The other party's behavior would be the owner of a business company. Such a shrewd and capable subordinate, and could also use the imperial guards in the capital. Even if he was a general in Liao Town, he would be able to fight with a few confidants around him.

Who is the owner of Sanjiang Trading Company? However, Li Liang had other ideas in his mind. He threw ten taels of silver to himself and gave Sima Tai a year of hard work, and only got eight taels of silver every month, although these eight taels were already much more profitable than he did on the job.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Jiang Feng nodded and said:

"This is a filial son!"

The subordinate was stunned and thought that the adults actually praised him. Jiang Feng continued to say:
Chapter completed!
