"Where do they want to use their power?" Petrin's face moved slightly, as deep as Madoff's. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hutchison's power system, after many investigations, the Russians have understood how terrible this Ming merchant army is, and the Mongol Khanate's army composed of shepherds who are not opponents at all, after Mobei's contact, the Russians have understood that the organization and discipline of the merchant army are still above the Russian army, and the ferocity and brutality of the lancers and chasseurs are no worse than the Cossacks, the key is that this army has strong logistics supply capabilities and stronger equipment.

Three thousand Cossacks could sweep through a Mongol Khanate, but three thousand Cossacks did not dare to beat three thousand merchant cavalry.

This is the gap between the regular army and the militia group, the Russians see the Mongols as militia bandits, and in the eyes of the merchant army, I am afraid that the Russian army composed of these Cossacks who ran out of colonial adventures is not much stronger than the Mongols.

"We don't have to think too much about it just yet." "It's important to get the trade going, and we've got a lot of merchants and goods coming here," Petrin said. In contrast, the speed of the Ming people is too slow, I heard that their road has only been open for half a month, and I don't know how long it will take for a large number of merchants to come. ”

"The Mongols seem to have more confidence." Madov said with a depressed face: "I was just on the way over, and I saw several teams of Mongols driving camels over.

Of course, the forces on the Mobei grassland are not only the three departments of Transkhalkha, but also the Saiyin Nuoyan Department in the west, and the rest of the small-scale Khan Division, because they are far away from the trading city, they are still further west of the old capital of Helin, so in the past two months, there have been Mongolian caravans from the west, and the farthest one is still ready to leave years ago, they are the caravan composed of Oirat Mongols, the distance is far away, and they set off early.

If it were possible, the Russians, of course, did not want the Oirats to come and trade, but at this moment they had no ambition and no strength, and they had to endure these situations.

"Zhang Han will arrive in a few days." Petrin took another deep breath and couldn't help but get up and take a few steps.

For Madov and the merchants of his country, as well as for the Cossack chieftains, Petrin was of high status, this man dared to take risks, a typical Russian, very accurate, quick to decide, if it were not for this man's master to trade with the Ming Kingdom, I am afraid that the Russians would have had to trade with China for at least a hundred years.

There is indeed a trading city in history, it is the border trade between the Russians and the Mongols, and it was also quite prosperous, and even Han merchants rushed to the trading city to participate in the trade at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but the trading city in history must not be compared with the city in front of them, whether it is far from the scale and planning.

Within the Russians, Petrin has a high status, and once Petrin thinks of Zhang Han, he can't help but feel nervous.

"This time, if there are not many merchants from the Ming Kingdom and there are not enough goods, we should strive for more initiatives, such as talking to Zhang Han about taxation......"

Of course, Zhang Han does not collect the commercial tax of the Russian side, but in the buying and selling city, he has to collect the gate tax and rent, which is a city established by the Yusheng side, and the tax collection should be natural, Madoff and others have always been dissatisfied, and they can't compete with force and conspiracy, at least they should compete with Hutchison in business.

"We'll see." Petrin didn't have much confidence.

……

Zhang Han and his entourage had already passed the Saiyin Shanda and went north along the road.

From the pure grassland area through the mountains and hills, as far as the eye can see, it is all woodland, and then through the territory of the Krulun River and the Balhu people, you have seen the scattered Balhu people grazing in the marginal areas, and at the edge of the woodlands are the Oroqen people who hunt.

The men fled when they saw a large convoy, and sometimes they got too close to alert the special guards.

It is right to be careful with these natives who resemble savages, although they wear fur robes and fur boots, live in underground dens, and even live in snow caves in winter, but because of the harsh living environment, they are more wild, and their archery skills are particularly accurate, and within a hundred paces, these savages' bows can hit the people's faces, and the garrisons along the road have suffered several losses, and then they choose to drive these savages far away.

There were also some Oroqen people who began to get closer and closer, taking furs and wild ginseng in exchange for food, and the garrison was very polite to them, and generally the grain exchanged for them exceeded the value of the goods themselves.

But there are still quite a few uncivilized savages, and it is estimated that it will take years for them to gradually become aware of their power and willing to participate in the trade system.

The Balhu people are friendly with the Chahars, and they have a considerable territory, and there is no trace of the Balhu people in the trading city, and the hostility is quite obvious.

As Zhang Han passed through the Krulun River, a group of hundreds of Balhu herdsmen followed not far away, and the special service personnel fired several rounds of guns to drive them away.

Jiang Yi felt not very relieved, this time it was the two companies of the special service as guards, and there were no heavy firearms, he sent a few horses to the nearby military station to mobilize the escorts, and when he arrived near Saiyin Shanda, a battalion of dragoons rushed over to guard, accompanied by a company of mounted artillery, and the guards were completely relieved.

When passing through the edge of the desert Gobi, Zhang Han rode his horse in the Gobi for a long time, and he was moved by the desolation and simplicity here.

Last year, he came to Mobei, it was winter, the earth was snow-white, and he couldn't see anything special.

Today is the twilight of spring, unlike the dense grasslands and woodlands on the side of the river, the Gobi side is extremely desolate, most of the place is dry, walk a few dozen steps to find some low plants, in order to adapt to the growth of the Gobi region and the plants are tight and dwarf.

"Filial piety, look." Zhang Han pointed to a rusty iron helmet in the depths of the Gobi and said, "The petal helmet should have been left here after the fierce battle at the beginning of the country's conquest of the remnants of the Yuan. ”

Sun Jingting picked up the iron helmet and looked at it, and said, "I don't know if it is under the command of Song Guogong, or the relics left by the subordinates of Liang Guogong?" ”

"Of course it's Liang Guogong." Zhang Han said: "Although Song Guogong led the main force, several northern expeditions had little effect, and the real success was the battle in which Liang Guogong annihilated the main force of the remnants of the old Yuan in the Bear Lake of the Weng Niu Special Department, but at that time, Tugusi Timur still led the prince Tianbaonu and others to Hara and Lin, and the Liang Guogong sent elite cavalry all the way from Bear Lake to Helin to chase after him, and chased him back halfway through the food, and it is estimated that it is almost the boundary where the army is going to return. ”

"It may also be Emperor Taizong." Sun Jingting said: "Emperor Taizong once went to the wolf Juxu Mountain, and returned after sealing the wolf Juxu, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts was still several northern expeditions during the Yongle years. ”

Zhang Han shook his head and said with a smile: "I returned several times in vain, and I also abandoned Daning and other places, and sat back and watched Duoyan Sanwei sit big, Emperor Taizong's arrangement is not much worse than Emperor Taizu, talking about martial arts, Lan Yu annihilated 60,000 captives in one battle, how can Emperor Taizong have this record." It's just that at the height of his life, he used manpower to intimidate the northern captives so that they would not dare to fight. ”

"I'm not going to argue with you on this topic." Sun Jingting said: "But looking at this kind of ancient battlefield, it's really emotional. ”

"Brother Xiaozheng has an idea again?"

"yes." Sun Jingting sighed: "In the past, whether it was Huo Qubing of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Li Jing and Li Weigong, or my Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty and the Duke of Liangguo, they all used to be wolves, so that the alien races in the grassland either fled from the wind or chose to surrender. Now that we are here again, I don't know if we are really as we imagined, this time we will stay and never leave, and completely bring these alien races on the grassland under our rule, so that they can be assimilated, and they will no longer be the worries of China. ”

Zhang Han didn't answer for a while, there was a small Haizi in front of him, about the size of a large pond in Handi, the breeze was blowing lightly, the water surface was sparkling, it was very quiet in all directions, it seemed that he was left between heaven and earth, only the occasional neighing of horses on the road in the distance broke this peace of mind...... At this moment, Zhang Han suddenly had the illusion that he was not a human being in two lives, but a lonely traveler, and everything so far was his own imagination, and it had never happened at all...... Until Zhang Han walked to the edge of the sea and saw himself from the water.

Even if you have grown a beard, even if you have traveled thousands of miles in the wind and sun, a young face is still reflected on the water. Zhang Han realized that his age was not much older than Huo Quai, who was the wolf at the beginning, compared to Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, and even Zhu Di, he was still much younger at this time, he still had a lot of time, and he could build a greater career.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han suddenly became excited, and he also had an uncontrollable sense of pride and pride.

In any case, to do such a big thing at this age, and to go north to start a trade with the powerful foreign country established by the robbers, which affects the deepest trade between the two countries, is something that makes Zhang Han feel quite happy.

Zhang Han didn't want to delay here, he said to Sun Jingting: "Let's go, let's hurry up." ”

……

When the gunshots rang out, Chen Zhuang and the Balhu Mongols rode away together, everyone was scared enough, people let go of their horses, galloped to their heart's content, and the horses' hooves flew a lot of turf belts, and the dirt splashed.

After running for several miles to see if there were no Han Chinese catching up, the herdsmen gasped and stopped.

In fact, these Mongols have no other intentions, they have heard that these Han people are here to do business, and ordinary herdsmen have no extra ideas, they just want to take out the fur specialties at home and sell some of them, in exchange for some grain and vegetables to hoard.

Compared with grain, these Mongolians value vegetables more, especially sauerkraut, which is easy to preserve, can be eaten for a long time, is nutritious, and can relieve greasy vegetables is the most popular.

Sauerkraut, sour lettuce, sour cucumber, sour beans, these are very popular with Mongolians.
