Zhang Han said: "Don't explain family matters to your sister-in-law?" ”
"What's my family affair?" Sun Jingting said: "Besides, the matter is so urgent, what else is there to do without family affairs." ”
Sun Jingting said and went out, Li Shenming said to Zhang Han with some courage: "Xiaozheng's ability is not to say, at the beginning, he was very good at managing thousands of miners in Dongshan, but the Sun family has always been benevolent to the miners, and now if you want to rush to work, you have to force everyone to work hard, I am worried that Xiaozheng will not be ruthless in this......"
"I'm also a little worried about this ......," Zhang Han said: "But Brother Xiaozheng has always known the big picture, and I think that this time is also an opportunity to change him......
"Ah, I see." Li Shenming rolled his eyes and said, "You really have exhausted everything." ”
……
Bansheng City is actually a large gathering place of Han merchants and Han people, much smaller than the general Qingcheng of the Mongolian holy land, just a small city within a radius of several miles, and there is no such splendid building as the Qingcheng Khan Palace, and even the residential buildings are also the common style of the Han people in the north.
With the three ladies and Su Nang live in this Bansheng city as the core, there are large and small Han people gathering places around dozens of miles, there are four surnames Han people are the most, when the Ming Dynasty and Altan Khan negotiated peace, one of the terms of the peace of the Xuanda Governor Wang Chonggu is to make me return the Bansheng City and many Bansheng people living in the land, but the treaty was not agreed, tens of thousands of Han people still live here, and multiply, to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a riot of Mongolian and Han killing, both the Han people and the Mongols were killed and wounded.
Since and Yusheng into the grassland, the Han merchants and Han people have the backbone, although the Mongols rely on them to trade and farm, but the discrimination in the bones is inevitable, the Han people have a low status, from time to time they are robbed and abused and beaten, after Su Nang was defeated and killed, and Yu Sheng according to the rules of the grassland received Su Nang's property in Bansheng City, and drove away Xi Lingse and others, now there are almost only Han merchants and Han people in this small city, and there are very few Mongolians.
The appearance of such a pure Han city on the grassland was originally a miracle, and it was also a thing that made the Han people in the city feel comfortable, but since there was a problem with the cooperation between He Yusheng and Tumut, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense, and even He Yusheng began to promote the construction of military forts and piers, and the Tumut departments were already preparing for their own battles...... When things developed to this point, the Han people in Bansheng City were extremely nervous.
Zhang Ziming was invited to the mansion of a Han merchant to discuss matters, this Han merchant surnamed Zhao, in the Altan Khan period attached to the Mongols, and even called Altan Khan the Son of Heaven, now dying, but still one of the Han merchants with a very high status in Bansheng City.
"The future is terrifying...... Zhao and Rong raised their eyelids and looked at Zhang Ziming, and after a few snorts, he said again: "I heard that Ziming has opened a number of branches, and he is also a director of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce founded by He Yusheng, which really makes Lao Yu feel that he is already an outdated person......"
"Old fox ......" Zhang Ziming scolded in his heart, but his face showed a very respectful look, he bowed, and replied: "The old proprietor laughed at the juniors, how can he compare with the old proprietor in this achievement." ”
"Don't say much...... the convener, who is also a powerful businessman, whose main business is cloth, he said impatiently: "The current situation is so tense, we must always have a charter, right?" ”
Someone replied: "We are a group of Han merchants, whether they are Mongols or He Yusheng, we can't afford to mess with, what charter can we have?" ”
"That's not the case, it's really a big fight, no matter which side gains the momentum, if we don't stand in line in advance, we will definitely be defeated in the future."
"It's not easy to stand in line!" Someone said loudly: "He Yusheng is really powerful, and he also controls our supply of goods, but no matter how much they can fight, can they really beat the power of Tumute?" ”
"Didn't the vegetarian sac and the cloth sac be beaten badly?"
"The sum of these two people is less than 20,000 ding, less than 2,000 armor, but the old 30,000 households owned by Tumut are now at least 100,000 ding, if Tushetu and Zasaktu and Halashen support again, the army of more than 200,000 ding will also come out, this is called how to fight with Yusheng, their army is indeed well trained, much stronger than the Ming border army, but many ants can bite the elephant to death, not to mention that the Mongols are not ants!"
The 30,000 households on the right wing are Ordos, Tumut, and Yong Shebu Ministry, Tumut is the descendant of Altan Khan, the Ordos Department is now managed by Jinong Silen Erdeni, and there are many Dingkou in the Ordos Department, Jinong Silen Erdeni and Bu Shitu Khan have a very good relationship, and they must support Bu Shitu Khan if there is something, and Yong Shebu is weak, divided into Karaqin and Asu Duo, mainly from Zhangjiakou to Jizhen outside the range, there has been no war for many years, and most of its Harashen Etuoke is under the management of Duertaiji, Jiangdu'er has passed away, the current heir is weak and powerless, and most of the Halashin and Karaqin tribes have been in the hands of Baihong Dataiji, and the previous time Acheng Taiji led his troops to harass and Yusheng to build a city, Baihong Dataiji must have also known and acquiesced.
For the sake of their own interests, it is unlikely that the Karaqin Department will directly attack He Yusheng, but it will definitely be on the side of Tumut.
Different from the split of the left-wing Chahar department, the right-wing 30,000 households led by Tumut have maintained unity for many years, Altan Khan has really given an order at the time, hundreds of thousands of horsemen gathered under the sweat's tent, although the right wing is dominated by the left wing, and recognizes the Mongolian co-dominant status of the left-wing Chahar Khan, but the scenery is far greater than the left wing, and the Ming court has been strictly guarded, and it is also the right-wing Mongolia that attaches great importance to.
In addition to the three divisions in Mobei, the Chechen department is closer to the left wing, the Zasaktu and Tushetu departments have always been in close contact with the right wing, and the current Tushetu Khan Gunbu and Bushitu Khan are also connected and support each other.
This time, the Han merchants felt that it would be difficult for He Yusheng to survive...... The main reason is that this time it was the hostile behavior led by Bu Shitu Khan, although Bu Shitu was not resolute, and it can even be said that he was kidnapped by Ah Cheng and other Taiji, but when it comes to the anti-guest of He Yusheng on the grassland, and even the domination of the Mongolian tribes, Bu Shitu Khan, as the head of the right-wing 30,000 households, will not sit idly by.
In the final analysis, this time it seems that the trouble caused by Su Nang is actually the expansion of Yusheng on the grassland to a peak that is tolerated by the Mongolian nobles......
Zhang Ziming said at this time: "If it is said that sweating is definitely better than a vegetarian sac, I believe this." If it is said that the three divisions of Mobei and the rest of the departments can all send troops to help our Great Khan fight to the death, I don't believe this. ”
Fu Qingming nodded and said, "What Brother Ziming said is reasonable, and I don't believe it." The Mongols have been divided for a long time, the key is that the current Great Khan is weak and incompetent, and everyone doesn't believe that he can do anything big. ”
After Fu Qingming finished speaking, he nodded to Zhang Ziming and expressed enough kindness.
Zhang Ziming is also willing, Fu Qingming is also one of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce, and is one of the big cloth merchants in the grassland, he himself has quite a lot of cloth collection channels, as long as there is a kind of cotton and textile in Bansheng City all over the grassland, most of the cloth that comes out is Fu Qingming took away, he also has a channel to enter the cloth from Zhangjiakou, all kinds of cloth are available, and the amount of goods is also very sufficient, and Yusheng did not kill the Han merchants at the beginning, but allowed everyone to keep their own business, and began to form a good fate, Fu Qingming at this time to support and Yusheng is also reasonable.
In addition, Zhang Ziming also knows that the price of cloth and grain has skyrocketed recently...... It is said that the latest convoy with Yusheng, the grain is sold to six taels and one stone, and the worst homespun cloth is usually only a few dollars a horse, and now it is also sold to three or four taels and one horse, thanks to the blessing of He Yusheng, the team also has goods from the Chamber of Commerce, and Fu Qingming and others are making a lot of money.
Zhao and Rong said at this time: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the Great Khan of Mongolia is also the Son of Heaven. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan had the wealth of the enemy country, which was much more powerful than the current Zhang Dongzhu, so what? ”
This person is old and unbearable, but after all, he was the leader of the Han merchants, and when he spoke, everyone listened quietly, and no one interrupted Zhao and Rong's words.
"Besides......" Zhao and Rong said slowly: "No matter how far He Yusheng and the Mongols get into trouble, as long as there is a war, Bansheng City will be the focus of the attack, and our lives are here, do we really want to go to the dark with He Yusheng?" ”
Zhang Ziming listened quietly, got up and said: "The Beilu regards me as a flock of sheep, shepherds raise it, and from time to time plundering our wealth, like scissors shearing wool, so many years, the Han merchants and the Han people who farm the land are all struggling to survive, a few years ago, there were Han people who plundered Dingkou, and the Beiyu regarded them as slaves, rape and abuse, and we saw them in our eyes, how could we have no feelings?" If you don't have Heyusheng, of course, you can only survive, and now you have a choice, no matter what, you also choose to advance and retreat with Yusheng...... In the next farewell. ”
Fu Qingming's face was cloudy, where the benefits were, of course he was willing to follow and Yusheng, but what Zhao and Rong said was also right, once the war started, Bansheng City was already under the control of Yusheng, and it was conceivable that this place must be the focus of the siege.
"Dude, what the hell are you going to do?" Fu Qingming sent Zhang Ziming to the door and asked in a low voice.
"Now I don't know." Zhang Ziming said with a firm face: "I only know that I trust Lord Zhang and He Yusheng, they will not abandon their own people, and of course it is impossible to abandon us." ”
