Chapter 237: Part 3
The source of these three is the five departments of Transkhalkha, and it is also the descendant of Dayan Khan, who was a great talent, gradually differentiated from the five departments of Transkhalkha, and each has the title of Great Khan, in fact, some of their honorific titles are self-proclaimed, and some are given by the living Buddha of the French king, the real successor of the old Yuan forces, the real Great Khan of Mongolia is Lin Dan Khan, but Lin Dan Khan's honorific title is not very good, because Lin Dan Khan and the Yellow Sect forces fought with each other, fighting for control of the whole of Mongolia, so the Yellow Sect suppressed Lin Dan Khan, and gave Khan and support to other tribes, even Alukorqin has the honorific title of "Chegen Khan", and the title of Great Khan also represents the chaos of the Mongolian tribes in this era.
Although the three tribes of Mobei are called Khan, in fact, the power is not strong, the strength in their hands is very limited, and there is no ambition to compete for power, only Tushetu Khan and Ordos Khan support Bu Shitu Khan, because the Tumut Department has always been the co-leader of the right wing, and they elected Bu Shitu to fight against the Chahar Department and Lin Dan Khan of the left wing......
It's complicated here, but it's really about the strong, and the Mongols care about people who can shoot powerful arrows, wear bright armor, and have a lot of wealth, and nothing else.
Na Mu'er diverted a large number of goods from Zhang Han, because of the business war can not stay in the headquarters, simply has been selling to the north, the people of the three departments of Mobei are even more lacking in the goods of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Han's goods are also very welcome, Na Mu'er can't eat such a big market, he hopes that Zhang Han can strengthen the route to the north.
"Xiang Mobei's matter, Brother Han is still thinking about it." Chang Wei said: "After all, the route is too long, and there are a lot of deserts and plateaus. β
The geography of Mobei is much worse than that of Inner Mongolia, from east to west, there are many desert terrains, such as Hunshandak Sandy Land, Great Gobi, Xinjiang Gurbantunggut Desert, and Kazakhstan Sharyyesik Desert.
These deserts and grasslands are interspersed, and there are several routes that have to be detoured, increasing the routes.
There are also mountain ranges, from the Great Khing'an Mountains in the east all the way to the west, Kent Mountains, Xilin Gol Plateau, Gobi Altai Mountains, Tangnuula Mountains, Sayan Mountains, Hangai Mountains, etc.
Hundreds of thousands of herders live scattered along these mountains and the edge of the Gobi Desert, changing rotational grasslands according to the seasons, as well as several large rivers and dozens of tributaries, as well as countless large and small seas.
The largest Haizi is, of course, the Baikal River, which is also home to the traditional Mongolian pastures and fishing grounds.
The key now is that the Russians migrated and built settlements along several rivers from Central Asia to Siberia, and the settlements slowly developed into cities.
The Russians are very ambitious and threatening, but now they have no way to take a few khanates in Central Asia, and they are mainly Huairou to the Mongols, but Zhang Han is unwilling to deal with these people too early, and he subconsciously does not have a penny of trust in the Russians.
Chang Wei vaguely knew about these things, and Chang Wei also agreed with Zhang Han's idea before, but now Chang Wei's views have also changed.
Since the opportunity is in front of us, why bother with the East or the North?
Since the Russians are not good at stubble, it is better to deal with them long ago than later!
Brother Han may be taking care of the situation too much, causing him to take care of one thing and lose the other, and some things have not been thought through!
Chang Wei made a decision, he said to Namur: "We have semicolons and cooperative Han merchants in Qingcheng and several Bansheng places, you can suspend the delivery of goods back, directly to Taiji's side, and then continue to sell to the north!" β
"Good!" Namur said happily: "It would be better if your convoy could participate in the transportation." β
Chang Wei said: "Then don't worry, you have to send someone to draw first, find the most suitable route, set up a supply point, now the matter in the east has not been completed, and you will definitely not be able to take care of it for a while." β

Fan Yongming didn't know how he left the grassland, and how he entered the Great Wall from a small opening, bypassed some dungeons and stations, and then returned all the way to Zhangjiakou.
He is a proud son of the Fan family, and he has studied and has the fame of the Ming Dynasty, he has always been a proud figure like flowers, even the head of Zhangjiakou is very polite when he sees him, in the origin of the Fan family, Fan Yongming is a big man with hands and eyes, and ordinary state and county officials are also very polite to the people of the Fan family, even if he comes to the grassland, he is also the messenger of the Fan family, can see the powerful Taiji, and make the other party do things according to the will of the Fan family.
But it's all over now...... Fan Yongming knew that everything was over when he saw the fire, Bu Sang and Su Sang were only face damaged, their strength was still like that, at most, they couldn't profit from the smuggling trade, but the Fan family lost this business war, the family was finished, or the family might be able to survive for a while, and the hundred-legged insect would die without stiffening, but Fan Yongdou and Fan Yongming, the people in charge would definitely be liquidated, and they would lose control over the Fan family and the firm, and everything would be ruined!
"Damn, bastard......"
Fan Yongming did not ride a horse, he lay on the car, the whole person was groggy, on the road he had a high fever, the entourage did not have medicine for him to eat, so he had to keep wiping his face with a wet towel to reduce fever, to Zhangjiakou, his fever was gone, but the whole person was not awake, this time the blow was too big, the young Fan Yongming was crossed.
The convoy entered Fan's house in a gloomy fog, and Fan Yongdou received the news and rushed over.
"Nothing remarkable." Fan Yongdou said to everyone: "They are killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 themselves, and the loss is much greater than ours, don't talk nonsense after you go down, I have everything with me." β
Only then did the attachΓ©s settle down, and everyone withdrew one after another, and two people from the inner house came out to help Fan Yongming down.
"Big brother......" Fan Yongming came to his senses and was ashamed to speak.
Fan Yongdou said: "Go into the house, talk slowly." β
"Hmm." Seeing Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongming's heart seemed to be a lot more settled, nodded and followed Fan Yongdou into the study of the inner house.
When he arrived at the house, he retired everyone, and Fan Yongming told Fan Yongdou the details.
The attachΓ©s also said some things just now, but they were not as detailed as Fan Yongming said.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I messed up this errand."
Fan Yongming struggled to kneel down and admit his mistake, two lines of tears flowing down his face.
"Get up, get up!" Fan Yongdou was still calm, but his hands were trembling. He pulled Fan Yongming up and said in a deep voice: "Things have not yet reached a desperate juncture, even if we are really finished, it has to be a man who bleeds without tears, and people have the ruthlessness to burn hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we are crying and crying here, what is it like!" β
"Yes, big brother, I was wrong again."
"Don't admit your mistake first, I have something to say to you." Fan Yongdou looked out the window and saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered: "I negotiated the marriage with Han Qi a few days ago!" β
"Huh?" Fan Yongming exclaimed: "Big brother is talking about my marriage? β
"Yes!" Fan Yongdou said: "There are already rumors that Governor Wen's position is unstable, maybe it is Han Qi who has been transferred from Shanxi to Governor. β
"He's a governor, is he qualified enough?"
"Of course it's enough." Fan Yongdou has always been concerned about these things, and he is also very clear, and said at the moment: "Han Qi is from the Bingchen branch, there are many people in this department, he has Austrian aid in the court, and his qualifications are all the way to the state and county officials, and then to the sub-patrol road, the military preparation road, and then the political envoy, take over as the governor, of course." β
"If Han Qiruo goes to Datong to be the governor...... Fan Yongming gritted his teeth, but then turned into despair: "But it's not urgent, it's a few months at the earliest, and our Fan family has already lost." β
"In this business war, we have lost." Fan Yongdou said: "But there is still a turnaround, as long as we cross with Yusheng, we can still clean up the mountains and rivers again and start again." β
"How can they cross?" Fan Yongming said: "That Zhang Han's silver coin seems to be a mountain of silver, and it will never be used up." β
"Zhang Han's silver on hand is also limited." Fan Yongdou said: "I have news, Zhang Han's source is mainly the cash of the account bureau and the mule and horse dealership, he has been borrowing other people's silver in turnover, but the cycle is very short, and it is about to enter winter recently, at this time everyone has to settle the accounts, his account bureau has not absorbed the reserves, and the borrowed silver has become shorter at the end of the year, or even almost nothing, and his silver is also very unprepared." But this is just a small situation, the important thing is that I received the news, there is a group of bandits are rushing to Lingqiu, Shanxi officialdom just didn't see it, to see the jokes on the side of Datong, Datong here Governor Wen is leaving, Zheng Bingbei is hindering the governor and it is not good to overstep his authority, the border army must not move, Ma Chengen, the general soldier, and Lai Tongxin, the general, are not good to leave the place without permission, that is a serious crime. This group of thieves went to Lingqiu, and then swung all the way to Xinping Fort, all the destruction was Zhang Han's hard work, and then his and Yusheng would be finished! β
"Big brother......" Fan Yongming said tentatively: "This thief ......"
"There are some things you don't have to worry about." Fan Yongdou said: "You are recuperating at home, I have already invited someone to join the Han family, and when you are done, you will make up your mind, and then you will prepare for the marriage, and your marriage will be done a year ago." β
"In such a hurry?" Fan Yongming was not very reluctant in his heart, he was young and handsome, and he was famous, he had already inquired about the daughter of the Han family, and she looked very ordinary, and he vaguely said to Fan Yongdou last time that he was not very willing, but he did not directly refuse because of the overall situation.
"Yongming," Fan Yongdou said very seriously: "If we really lose, you may be the only hope for revenge of my Fan family, why should the eldest husband be obsessed with his wife's appearance, in the future, when you take a concubine, you will choose to be beautiful." β
"Big brother has a point." Fan Yongming was ashamed and said: "Little brother, everything is up to you." β

It was frosty at night, and the ground was all a shallow layer of white, and Zhang Han came out of the warm quilt, feeling just helpless.
This year's winter in Shanxi is also extraordinarily cold, in fact, Shanxi is also a very cold place in the future, Zhang Han looked at the weather forecast and felt that Shanxi and the northeast of Inner Mongolia are similar, sometimes even colder.
Now the feeling of the Xiaoice period at the end of the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more obvious, there were only a few light rains in the autumn, and now it is only lunar September, in fact, the weather should not be so cold, the snow has not fallen, the frost is very heavy, and the ground is large and white with snow.
"It's Xiaoice of dog's day, it's so annoying......"
Getting up early in the morning from the warm quilt and fire pit can only be said to be a challenge again and again, for Zhang Han, this is a test of his willpower, and what he persists in is not only his own spur and perseverance, but also to set an example for everyone.
Today is still two chapters in a row, and there is one more chapter below.
