Chapter 173 Crazy Prairie
Chapter 173 Crazy Grassland
The good and bad spirits are bad. Master Zhang's crow mouth is unfortunate again. On the evening of October 19th, Fan Yongdou's caravan was robbed by the Alaxan-e tribe. On the afternoon of the 23rd, the Tumei tribe, one of the large tribes on the Korqin grassland, dispatched thousands of cavalry to enter the Alaxan-e tribe. The Alaxan-e cavalry, who had just completed the task and returned to the tribe with rewards, was caught off guard and was immediately killed by the Tumei cavalry.
For a moment, the Alxa tribe was blazing flames and cried loudly. Tumei cavalry was everywhere, killing Alxa women and young, and looting money, cattle and sheep. Seeing that the situation was not good, Taijisamba of the Alxa tribe had to hurriedly lead the remaining defeated generals to protect the remaining elderly, weak women and children from the grassland and flee to the end of the world. Most of the five thousand taels of silver and some of the silver paid by Wang Dengku were stolen by the cavalry of the Tumei tribe.
Since the Alashan-E cavalry had brought back the rewards, the goods of the ten carriages naturally mean that they had fallen into the hands of Wang Laozuo's business. Fortunately, the Tumei cavalry also captured more than a dozen living people. After torture and torture, Chen Dage, who represented Fan Yongdou, came to contact the Tumei tribe, quickly understood the whereabouts of the goods. As early as last night, the Alashan-E cavalry was already fighting chickens (now southwest suburbs of Pingquan) and handed the ten carriages to Wang Laozuo Chamber of Commerce! After torture, Chen Dage immediately jumped three feet high and asked him to lead his army to copy the Tumei Taiji, who was in charge of Alashan-E's old nest, to move his troops to fight chickens and recapture the ten carriages. But this time, Tumei quit.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I can't agree to this." Tumei shook her head and said, "I took the chickens on the Kalaqin grassland. I took the Korqin cavalry over there. If the Taiji in Kalaqin thinks I'm going to steal their grassland, it will be troublesome. Besides, Ala Shang robs your goods and I send troops to help you get them back. Then no one can say anything, but now Ala Shan robs the goods to Wang Dengku's caravan, which is Wang Dengku's things. If I go to grab Wang Dengku's caravan again, I will be a robber. At that time, Tuxituhan (Oba) or Dajin Khan will pursue it, and I can't explain to Tumei - you also know that Wang Dengku and Tuxituhan and Dajin Khan have a good relationship."
"Tumai Taiji, those goods were taken away by Wang Dengku and the Alxa tribe. They are robbers. It is legal and reasonable for us to take them back." Chen Dabing wiped his sweat and pleaded, "Tumai Taiji, can you negotiate with Kalaqin's Dalai Taiji, and explain to him that we are going to track down a batch of goods. After we find them, we will leave his grassland immediately."
"No, Dalai and I don't have that friendship. You'd better go directly to Dalai Taiji." Tumei refused to offend Wang Dengku's store, which provided shortage supplies to Jiannu Korqin for many years, and refused. Tumei's words also reminded Chen Dabing that Tumei's army would go to the Kalaqin grassland to track down lost goods. It would definitely be a price increase. Anyway, it's a price increase. It's better to go directly to Kalaqin, who also has some friendship with the Fan family store. His army is a local snake on the Kalaqin grassland, and it's more convenient to do things. Thinking of this, Chen Dabing hurriedly said goodbye to Tumei: "Thank you for your advice, then I'll go to Dalai Taiji to try it out and say goodbye first. Our boss promises Tumei Taiji's things, Tumei Taiji can send someone to Zhangjiakou to get them at any time."
"Shopkeeper Chen's slow walk." Tu Mei was not polite and said goodbye to Chen Da Ge directly. However, when Chen Da Ge was on the horse, Tu Mei asked curiously: "Shopkeeper Chen, what are you carrying in the ten carriages you stolen? You have spent so much effort and money to find them back. The things inside must be very precious, right?"
"No, nothing." Chen Dabing dared not say that it was a new musket that had hit Tumei at Xifeng's mouth not long ago, but just said nonsense: "I'm not hiding Tumei Taiji, the car is actually full of silver, about 100,000 taels, so we are so anxious. Thank you Tumei Taiji, I'll say goodbye." After that, Chen Dabing led his followers away in a hurry, fearing that he would reveal his legs when Tumei continued to ask questions.
"100,000 taels of silver? Why are Fan Manzi transporting so much silver from inside and outside the pass?" Tu Mei was puzzled, "If it were horse dealers, then there were tens of thousands of war horses. Now Lin Dan and Korqin and Kalaqin tribes are in such a fierce conflict. How dare that tribe sell so many war horses? What should I do if Lin Dan suddenly came here?" Thinking of this, Tu Mei waved her hand and called her two confidants, whispered to them: "Take a few people, disguise themselves as ordinary merchants, follow the Fan family's barbarians to the Kalaqin grassland, and ask me carefully what goods Fan Manzi threw."
With the first doubt, there will naturally be a second person who doubts. Chen Dabing hurried to the Kalaqin grassland and found Taijida of the Kalaqin tribe to explain the purpose of his arrival. Dalai immediately asked: "What kind of goods are you thrown?" Of course, Chen Dabing still didn't dare to tell the truth, only said that the lost was cash silver. Dalai was skeptical. After hesitating for a while, seeing that the food, tea bricks, salt, cloth and weapons of his tribe all needed the help of the Fan family business, Dalai said reluctantly: "Okay, I can send troops to fight chickens and help you find these ten carriages."
"Thank you, Taiji." Chen Dabing was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. Dalai waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious first, listen to me finish my words. I have something to say first, I can help you find the ten carriages, but it's not for you to grab them back! At most, I will be a host for you. As long as you can prove that the ten carriages belong to you, then the people from the Wang family's business will probably return them to you obediently. If the carriages are proven that they belong to you and the people from the Wang family want to pay the debt, I have a reason to do it, right?"
Chen Dage nervously planned - if Dalai was asked to be the judge to determine the ownership of the carriage, then the goods pulled on the carriage would definitely be exposed. But if Dalai just forced him to help him grab the carriage, Da probably wouldn't agree to anything. After all, Wang Dengku's chamber of commerce also had something to do on the Kalaqin grassland, and the Fan family business would also gain a reputation of bullying among his peers. Thinking of this, Chen Dage had to bite the bullet and said, "Thank you, Taiji, but Taiji only needs to help us find the whereabouts of ten carriages. How to get the carriage back, our Fan family will find a way."
"The carriage is definitely not silver!" Dalai was also Kalaqintaiji, who was enthroned by Jiannu. After all, he woke up from what Chen Dabing said. If it was really silver, what was shameful? As long as he reported the number of silver and the stamp on the silver ingot, he could help the Fan family get the silver back in one sentence. Wang Dengku, who was in the wrong, couldn't say anything. Now the Fan family doesn't even want to make it, and it's really a ghost to pull it in the carriage! Thinking of this, Dalai ordered the team to gather and lead the army to fight chickens to explore the truth.
Two days later, a thousand cavalry led by Dalai himself arrived at Daji Town, and soon found Wang Dengku's little Wang Yaohua and his nephew Wang Guohua in the inn in this market town. However, the ten carriages in the Fan Family Store disappeared. At this point, Chen Dabing didn't care about the politeness and hypocritical masks between his peers. He relied on Dalai's army to temporarily stand on his side, pointed at Wang Yaohua and Wang Guohua and roared, "Who is surnamed Wang, you are cruel, you can even do the black and black! Say, where are our Fan Family's goods? Hand over it honestly, everything is easy to say, play tricks, our Fan Family is useless, you Wang Lao stings the house!"
"My surname is Chen, please give me a clean mouth!" Wang Yaohua cursed without hesitation: "Your Fanmazi's goods have been robbed. What's the matter with me? I'm here to sell goods. What evidence do you have to prove that the goods are yours?"
"Yes, what evidence does your Fan Hat family have? Do you want to come up with a wine jar to prove it?" Wang Guohua echoed sarcastically. The two terms Fan Hat and a wine jar are both Fan Yongdou's fatal points. When Fan Yongdou was young, he went to Zhangjiakou to make a living. When he was young, he went to Zhangjiakou to learn business. His wife who stayed in her hometown in Shanxi could not bear the loneliness. She cuckolded Fan Yongdou and became a raper and gave birth to a child. The child was strangled to death and buried him quietly. In order to retain the evidence, Fan Yongdou's widow's widow's widow secretly killed the child. In order to retain the evidence, Fan Yongdou's widow's widow's widow secretly killed the child.
Zi dug it out and soaked it in a wine jar. When Fan Yongdou made money and returned to his hometown, Fan's mother took out the wine jar. As a result, Fan Yongdou's original wife and adulterer disappeared inexplicably. This incident was a big deal at the time, which made Fan Yongdou lose a lot of face. Fan hats and wine jars also became two taboos of Fan Yongdou's business name - of course, they also became the two words that Fan Yongdou's enemies like to mention the most. However, they are not enemies who are unimaginable, and they usually do not mention these two words in front of Fan Yongdou.
"Old Wang, I'm fighting with you!" Chen Dabing was indeed angry and rushed up and fought with Wang Guohua. Dalai next to him curiously asked Wang Yaohua, who was sneering and watching the fun: "Shopkeeper Wang, what are you going to buy chickens? Why didn't you see your goods?"
"Dalai Taiji is interested in buying a few new muskets from the Jimen Manzi Army?" Wang Yaohua was not afraid of it, and asked Dalai directly with a smile. Dalai was stunned and asked in confusion: "New musket? What new fire..." Speaking of this, Dalai, who was a friend of Korqin Aoba, suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "New musket! Is it the new musket that Zhang Haogu killed Wu Keshan at the mouth of Xifeng?!"
When he said this, Dalai's body and voice trembled. Although his army did not participate in the sneak attack on Xifengkou, when Obama's army passed by his grassland, he sent a guide to lead the way for Obama's cavalry, so the guide was able to witness the power of the new musket - it could kill people invisibly across more than 30 steps away, and it also pointed out that it could be shot without any bullets! At the battle of Xifengkou, the Ming army used two new muskets to kill nearly thirty senior generals of the Korqin cavalry! The fight made the Korqin army frightened, and the generals of all sizes ran away, and were forced to end the sneak attack. With such a terrifying weapon, if Dalai's army could have hundreds of troops, who else could be the opponent of the Kalaqin cavalry on the grassland? By then, Obama would probably turn around and Fengda to come as his brother!
"That's right, it's that kind of new musket!" Wang Yaohua nodded proudly. Dalai jumped off the war horse, grabbed Wang Yaohua's sleeve and asked in surprise: "How many new muskets are there?"
"Of course it was bought from the Barbarian army." Wang Yaohua said proudly: "As the quantity, there are 540 units in total - Dalai Taiji. There are only more than 500 units in the Barbarian army. We spent a lot of money and hard work and finally got it. How about it? If Dalai Taiji wants to buy, I can count you as a cheaper one and give you some projectiles!"
"I want all!" Dalai waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Where is the goods? I want all 540 pieces!"
"Dalai Taiji, that's our Fan family's goods!" Chen Dabing was also anxious, and threw away Wang Guohua and got up, shouting: "These five hundred and forty new muskets were bought by our Fan family for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you buy it, you can only buy it from our Fan family!"
"Shopkeeper Chen, didn't you say that the carriage you threw is full of silver?" Dalai asked back in anger. Chen Dabing was speechless, and Wang Guohua also got up and sneered: "Yes, since the carriage you threw is full of silver, then our new muskets will certainly not be Fan Hat. Dalai Taiji used it as a certificate. We have ten carriages that pull goods, but the carriages are full of new muskets and projectiles, not Fan Hat's wine jars and silver."
"Yes, I can give you a certificate." Dalai was not a fool either, his eyes turned and said, "Where are the carriages that you pull the muskets? Please take them out and I will give you a certificate. If the new muskets are pulled on these ten carriages, it will prove that these ten carriages are yours; if the ten carriages are filled with silver, it will prove that they are from the Fan family's business-Canglang Bailu as a certificate, and I will definitely break it impartially."
"Damn, if you take it out, you Tatars might not have all taken it away?" Wang Yaohua and Wang Guohua snorted coldly. After exchanging a wink, Wang Yaohua smiled and said, "Dalai Taiji, it's not that we don't believe you, but these new muskets are too important and expensive, so we hid these ten carriages in a place that only our Wang family business knows. If Dalai Taiji wants to buy, we will pay as much as we buy."
"Damn, these barbarians are really cunning." Dalai cursed in his heart, but his face changed to a smile and asked tentatively: "Young Master Wang family, how much do you plan to sell each of them?"
"Two thousand taels of silver per piece!" Wang Yaohua raised two fingers and said slowly: "Each new musket will give you 100 projectiles! You can pay cash silver or exchange it for horses and cattle and sheep."
"So expensive?! A musket is worth more than two hundred war horses?" Dalai took a breath. Wang Yaohua smiled and said, "There is a reason for being expensive. Don't Dalai Taiji know that Zhang Haogu's little man was at the mouth of Xifeng, but two new muskets defeated Tu Xietuhan's tens of thousands of troops! Dalai Taiji please think about it again. If you have dozens or hundreds of such muskets in your hand, who can be your opponent on the prairie? Are you afraid that you can't get back this capital?"
"Yes." Wang Guohua echoed: "You are lucky enough to catch up with Dalai Ji. If Tushetu Khan and Dajin Khan knew that we had these new muskets, no matter how expensive they were, they would have to buy them all, right?"
"Can you lose some money for two young masters? Two thousand taels of silver per piece is too exaggerated." Dalai asked in a pleading tone. Wang Yaohua shrugged his shoulders, looked at Chen Dabing, who was glaring at the side, and then replied to Dalai: "Da comes to Taiji, for our previous friendship, the price can be negotiated, but before that, please ask Dalai comes to Taiji to protect our safety, and we will discuss the price slowly. Also, please ask Dalai comes to Taiji to drive away the people we don't like."
"Cheng, Cheng, the two young shopkeepers live in the golden tent outside Taji Town to keep you safe." Dalai agreed immediately, pointed at Chen Da and shouted: "Come on, drive this guy and his entourage away from Taji!"
In order to dominate the grassland, and to no longer be obsessed with Oba's cowardice, Oba had to shout intimately, and for Oba's army to step through his own grassland, no longer send guides to lead the way, and to break into Xifengkou and sweep Shuntian Prefecture (Beijing)! Dalai can be said to have sacrificed everything, even his old friend Fan Yongdou, who has been for many years, has no face! But what Dalai never dreamed was that before he set the price with the Wang family business, Tumei's cavalry first stationed at the edge of the Kalaqin grassland, and Tumei's messenger rushed to the scene with dust.
Ji made a transaction request to the Wang family business. Then the nearby Tumote envoy, the Bushitu Taiji envoy and the tribal envoy with some power in the Neikalkha Grassland also came, saying that it was to invite an old friend Wang family business to his big account as a guest. But in fact, what did you want to do - Dalai could guess it with his toes! As for why the news spread so quickly and the spread range is so wide, Dalai could not even think of it even if he wanted to break his head - the conscience of the heaven and earth, all this was done by the Wang Dengku Chamber of Commerce itself. Master Zhang really didn't make a fool in the middle this time!
So many people are eyeing the muskets of the Wang Dengku Chamber of Commerce. Wang Guohua and Wang Yaohua, who are holding the hottest cousins, naturally no longer let go easily. They bite 1,600 taels of silver to death and no longer give in! The local snake Dalai Taiji was drilling mountains and digging holes near the chicken, but he couldn't find the burial place of the new musket. He heard that it was Oba's messenger who was already on the way, and he also heard that the Lin Danhan envoy, who seemed to be the most powerful Mongolian messenger, seemed to be coming here. Dalai finally couldn't help but show off his anger - he bought fifty pieces with 80,000 taels of silver, with a down payment of 30,000 taels, and the remaining 50,000
Two, I hope the Wang family business can owe him half a year! The same smart brothers Wang Guohua told Dalai that if Dalai really can't afford so much money, he can sell it to Dalai's army for 30,000 taels of silver! The condition is that the Kalaqin army must ensure the safety of the Wang brothers in the Kalaqin grassland, and send troops to escort the Wang brothers back to Zhangjiakou in the future, and allow the Wang brothers to negotiate a deal with Lin Dan, Oba and Nuerhaci on the Kalaqin grassland - those who are able to eat the remaining 500 new muskets are the three families!
The famous iron rooster Wang family business took the initiative to make concessions and offered such preferential conditions. Dalai was naturally overjoyed and quickly patted his chest to agree to all the conditions of the Wang brothers, and seized the time to prepare to entertain distinguished guests. However, what Dalai and the Wang brothers never dreamed that before the messengers of Oba and Lin Dan arrived to beat the chicken, a huge bad news came first. The Jiannu army, who had the best relationship with Fan Yong, crossed Changshan Town and stepped into Korqin Mongolia.
The grassland, led by Yue Tuo, the eldest son of Dabei Daishan, led the main elites of the Inlaqin Red Flag and the Inlaqin Yellow Flag, and rushed towards the Kalaqin Grassland with great momentum! The flag of starting a military campaign was to maintain fair market transactions! Punish illegal businessmen! After hearing this news, Korqin Aoba and Mongolian Lin Danhan were not to be outdone, and also dispatched elite troops to attack the Kalaqin Grassland. The flag was to protect the legitimate interests of merchants and ensure smooth business roads!
"Is this grassland crazy? More than 500 model guns used for training can cause such a big disturbance?" This is Mr. Zhang's evaluation of these situations. At the same time, Mr. Zhang was secretly surprised, "Although those model guns are made in a one-to-one ratio, in order to make soldiers familiar with the weight, even the barrel was drilled, and the weight error was no more than half a tael, but just one shot can tell whether it is true or not? Could it be that after Wang Dengku's son and nephew got the model gun, the time was so urgent that he had not even tried a shot, so he hid it directly?"
"Since everyone is crazy, I'll be crazy, I'll add a fire to you. If you can fight, the pressure on Jimen's defense line will be much lighter." After talking to himself, Master Zhang called Zhang Shitou and ordered in his ear: "Shitou, send reliable people back to the capital, bring a message to my elder brother Liu Ruozai, and ask him to impeach Jimen's supervisor Fu's guard and steal, and secretly sold the new muskets from Jimen's fireware warehouse to the Tatar tribe..."
"Young Master, are you crazy? Those muskets were sold by us and Eunuch Fu! What if the court sent someone to find out the truth?"
Chapter completed!
