Chapter 584: Restraint
After taking Ningxia, the territory of the Ming Dynasty officially bordered Mongolia, so that there was no need to worry about the source of horses, as long as there was enough silk, salt and tea, there would be countless horses to exchange back.
As for the iron tools, Cheng Xiaolian has not planned to use them to trade, if it is the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, it is good to say, now the Central Plains is full of smoke, once the Mongolian tribes get enough iron tools, they will definitely have the heart to go south, the Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years, and the people of the Golden Family have never forgotten to go south.
Needless to say, the Ming Dynasty, known as the little prince, Dayan Khan, unified southern Mongolia. Later generations called him the "Lord of Zhongxing" of Mongolia. Later, Lin Dan Khan was defeated by Huang Taiji and fled to Qinghai. His son surrendered to Houjin.
As a result, it didn't stop for a few years, and when he heard about the civil war in the Central Plains, Lin Dan Khan's grandson Bulni immediately raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, intending to get a piece of the pie, if it wasn't for Tuhai and a group of minions to destroy them, now I'm afraid of unifying Mongolia.
It's just that unlike the historical books, the historical records record that after Tuhai put down the Chahar rebellion, the Chahar leaders who started the incident with Burni were arrested and executed, except for the deceased; The soldiers of the four banners of the left wing of Chahar who followed Burni were ordered to garrison Henan Mansion to atone for their sins. Investigate the household registration again, reorganize the flag, and change the nomadic herd.
But now Kangxi himself is anxious, where does he have time to chase and kill the remnants, and how dare he put the Mongolian soldiers in Henan to garrison? If they defected during the war, they would have to let Da Ming and Wu Sangui take advantage.
And it is impossible for the Manchus to kill all the soldiers of Chahar, so they can only kill the first evil, that's it, there are still many people who ran out, and in history, when Bulni raised troops, the princes of Horqin, Bahrain, Ao Han and other banners asked to send troops. In order to seek a benefit, at the end of the decisive battle, Korqin and Shuo Efu Shajin shot Burney.
But after the former Ming Dynasty raised troops, the Mongolian side also got the news, these tribes were all ready to move, everyone destroyed Bulni together, but because the Brni brothers hit the stone with eggs, the entire Mongolian tribe still has to survive, and it is impossible to be burdened by him. But now it's different, everyone is a descendant of Genghis Khan, the fiercest warrior of Mongolia, who wants to be a slave under someone's banner?
So these people are also plotting to elect a leader to rule Mongolia, but it's a pity that Burnny died, if he doesn't die, no one can be more suitable than him, because he is the orthodox descendant of the Golden Family, that is, the descendant of the Tuolei lineage. If he is the lord of Mongolia, he is rightly named, and now that he is dead, it will take some effort for everyone to elect the Great Khan.
Jin Yiwei has not yet spied on the Mongolian steppe, and Cheng Xiaolian doesn't know anything about them, but he only knows that when Bulni rebelled, if all those tribes rose up accordingly, even if they couldn't go south, they might not be able to divide one side, and as a result, they all chose to surrender, so Cheng Xiaolian didn't feel at ease to cooperate with them, but it was still no problem to do business with them, the rules on the grassland have been like this since ancient times, don't kill caravans.
Because they need salt and iron tools, otherwise it will be difficult to eat, and if they kill a few caravans, and no one comes to the steppe to do business, then what will the big guy eat? So unless the caravan men were involved in the rebellion in the steppe, no one would touch them.
The Gu family has now become the largest merchant in the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Xiaolian feels that it is time to curb them, Cheng Xiaolian doesn't understand other things, but absolute power produces absolute corruption, once the Gu family is dominant, it can control the finances of the Ming Dynasty, and he will have to be constrained by them at that time, so it is better to create an enemy for them now.
And the candidate Cheng Xiaolian has already been chosen, so he will use Wen Duruo's father as a name and let those people of the White Lotus Sect do this, if those people have nothing to do, they have to make some trouble, as long as they taste the benefits of earning silver, they may not continue to follow the White Lotus Sect, sometimes people's beliefs are not so strong, just like these people, most of them joined the White Lotus Sect because they couldn't afford to eat, if they have money in their hands, they have wives and children at home, Whether you are willing to work hard with the White Lotus Sect is uncertain.
The main disadvantage is that they don't know how to do business, but this is not a big problem in Cheng Xiaolian's opinion, at the beginning, it was easy for people to win the favor of those Mongolian men, but now Mongolia is not peaceful, too good at business, may not be able to come back.
Xie Sanniang sent the news of Cheng Xiaolian back to the main altar, and for this reason, the sect leader specially summoned several people in charge of the sect to meet their heads.
"We arrived at this Daming territory, although there is no danger, but I always feel like someone is staring at us in the dark, and now His Royal Highness Daming has given us this opportunity, what do you say is going on?"
If these people were to fight alone, it might be okay to cure the sick and save people, but it is really a little difficult to think about these problems, and if they could produce a person in their teaching who can understand this problem, I am afraid that they would have made a big noise long ago, and they would not have achieved nothing until now.
Xie Sanniang looked at no one and coughed: "Sect Master, I have something to say." ”
"Then tell me about it."
"His Royal Highness Daming explained to me before I came back, the Gu family has become the imperial merchant of Daming, and now the family is dominant, and those other merchants can't shake him at all, besides, His Royal Highness promised to make the Gu family the first choice for Daming to do business, and now it is impossible for other businessmen to take over this matter, because of our relationship with his wife, he wants his father-in-law to make a fortune, and also let us have something to do."
At this time, a person sitting on the left hand side of the sect leader sneered: "Our White Lotus Sect believes in lifeless old mothers, what we want to do is to transform our earthly children back to the heavenly realm and avoid calamity. Now he is doing business for others, so that the brothers of other sects can't laugh when they hear it? ”
A pouting sitting on the right hand side of the sect leader: "One-legged Li, it's right that you want to transform those poor brothers and sisters, can you just use one mouth?" It's not that we need real money, which time we don't have to ask the rich people in our sect to give out gold and silver, and every time we have to let a few sect members scatter their property, now those rich people don't trust us very much, if we can really get the silver ourselves, who will dare to question us at that time? ”
"I'm bah, Shen Deaf, don't think that I said that your mother-in-law ran out to find me, our White Lotus Sect has been here for hundreds of years, where is it not relying on the rich people in these sects, now you have to make money by yourself, and our White Lotus Sect is not a merchant in Chengdu, what are you doing these things?"
At this time, a person dressed as a Confucian next to him suddenly spoke: "I'm afraid that we can't do this thing." ”
