【Chapter 225】Is there another conspiracy?
Xu Xingxia lowered his bow and arrows, and said lightly: "What trouble? ”
Huyan Aobo said in a low voice, "Sawanna invited Su Mu Pu to come forward. ”
Xu Xingxia asked casually: "Which one is Su Mu Pu said?" Is it a very interesting character? ”
Huyan Aobo nodded, and said respectfully: "This person is the largest Hu merchant in Ningxia City, and his strength is very strong, and almost all the caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions have his relationship. It is rumored that he also has a tough background in Beijing. He had quite good relations with the Tatars, Tumuts, and Yarkands. In Ningxia City, the goods he sold accounted for more than seventy percent of the foreign goods in the Western Regions. Even the prince has to sell him a little face. ”
Xu Xingxia said disapprehantly: "So what? I'm not a prince! ”
Huyan Aobo smiled bitterly and said, "Escort Xu, don't you go your own way, okay?" You have offended the two bigwigs in Ningxia Town, and many opportunities to obtain benefits have been missed in vain. If you want to live a little more comfortably, don't offend these big businesses again, okay? I know that you have a good relationship with Sun Dakun, a Jin merchant, and you have bought a lot of grain from him, but if Su Mu Pu puts pressure on Sun Dakun, he will probably cut off contact with you. ”
Xu Xingxia said coldly: "Really? ”
Huyan Aobo saw that he was indeed soft and hard, and he had a strong donkey's temper, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's my old man who said the wrong thing." Now it is Pu Yu that the boss is entrusted by others, and he asks you to ask Xu Gongzi to put down his body and reluctantly meet the other party. If you have a request for others, you must naturally show a little sincerity. With Su Mu Pu Yu's identity and Sawanna's identity, as long as you want to solve this matter peacefully, you will definitely have your benefits. Don't you lack everything? Wouldn't it be better if you could get a little benefit from it? Su Mu Pu said that when he plucked the hair on his body, it was estimated that he was a little stronger than Sun Dakun. ”
Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment, feeling that Huyan Aobo's words also made some sense. If Sawanna is indeed sincere in resolving this matter, there is no need to be too harsh herself. After all, it was her subordinates who caused trouble, not herself. However, he will not accept the benefits of the other party. How can the dignity of the nation be tarnished with money? There must be another way to counteract it. He said casually, "Okay, since you say so, let's go meet him!" Please! ”
Huyan Aobo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Xu Xingxia to the hall next to him. Inside the hall, there was a big fat man sitting on the top, looking around a little uneasily. Outside the hall, there are two more long retinues. Being able to sit in such a posture in King Qing's Mansion is naturally quite a weighty figure. However, his expression was so uneasy, which showed that he was not completely sure of his task.
Old Demon Xu's impression in Ningxia City is indeed not very good. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when Xu Xingxia is mentioned in various news, he will be particularly emphasized by his ferocity and ruthlessness, as if there is no one more ruthless than him in the world. The three of them became tigers, and slowly, the image of Xu Lao Mo was fixed. If you are not a person who knows the roots, when dealing with Xu Lao Mo, you will have to secretly sweat.
"This must be Escort Xu, right? Sure enough, he is a young talent, and his future is immeasurable! When the big fat man saw Xu Xingxia appear, he immediately stood up quickly and said enthusiastically. His voice is very loud and has a self-cooked taste. Whether others are disgusted with his fat appearance or not, they will feel quite familiar with his language and behavior, as if they have met an old friend. Such a person is indeed very suitable for business.
"Hello, boss." Xu Xingxia said quietly. At that time, the nomads had very complicated names and the like, and some had a surname in front and a first name in the back. In some cases, the first name is in front and the last name is in the back. Xu Xingxia actually didn't know what type Su Mu Pu was, so he casually greeted him according to the habit of foreigners.
"Xu Huwei is really young and promising, at a young age, his kung fu is so good, and his archery skills are the best in the world, which is admirable, admirable! I'm your age, and I'm still a runner in the store! Su Mu Pu said happily. Inadvertently, he put the title of the first in the world of archery on Xu Xingxia's head. inadvertently, he deliberately pressed down his identity fiercely to set off Xu Xingxia's extraordinary.
"Awards, awards." Xu Xingxia said quietly. Su Mupu said that the more ruthlessly he pressed down on his identity, the more vigilant he became. If the matter is not very difficult, it is estimated that the other party will not make such a move. No matter what you say, Su Mu Pu is also a person with status, even if he is Huyan Aobo, he is also quite important. If things are abnormal, they will be demons, and Xu Xingxia will feel that something is wrong no matter how he looks at it.
It's really strange, why did Su Mu Pu say this? It stands to reason that Sawanna's subordinates beat people, even if they were sent to the prefect's yamen, and handed over to Zuo Guangdou to deal with. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing, that is, the rod is twenty strokes, and it is enough to compensate the medical expenses of the injured. The beaters are members of ethnic minorities and are generally not detained, let alone sentenced to prison. With such a cost, Sawana is completely affordable!
To put it bluntly, this is simply a small matter. If it weren't for the Hu and Han people, it is estimated that no one would care at all. Ningxia City is so big, I don't know how many fights have to happen every day, who can pay attention to them one by one? A simple trouble, does the other party find it so difficult to deal with? Perhaps, among them, there are some insider stories that I don't know? Thinking of Tuoba Su's strange behavior, thinking of the strange commission of King Qing's mansion, thinking of Mo Yuegen's sudden appearance, and then thinking of Mo Yuegen's pursuit of Sawanna...... "Is there a conspiracy?" Xu Xingxia felt more and more that there must be something wrong here. His conspiracy theories are indeed ubiquitous all the time. It's a pity that this is a messed up of threads, and I can't sort it out! Even if there was really any conspiracy in it, he couldn't decipher it for the time being.
Fortunately, no matter how messy the thread is, as long as you are patient and crack them one by one, you can always sort them out slowly. Once all the lines are straightened, everything hidden in the threads will be hidden. I don't know why, he always feels that Su Mu Puyu's smile is a bit like Huyan Aobo, if there is no relationship between the two, it is impossible. It is very likely that this Sumu Pu said that he is also a Yarkand person.
In fact, the Yarkand Khanate was also part of the Mongols, and its relationship with the Tatars was also quite close. There were too many tribes among the Tatars, many were hostile to the Ming Dynasty, and many tried to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is hostility or repair, the most fundamental principle is whether or not you can get benefits from the Ming Dynasty. If you can get enough benefits from the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that Zhuang Bald Lai is likely to become a friend of the Ming Dynasty.
When Genghis Khan swept across the Eurasian continent, the Mongol race spread almost all over the Eurasian continent, and in the hundreds of years after his death, the power of the Mongols gradually shrank, and the residual influence was still very strong. The various khanates of various parts of Central Asia were founded by descendants of the Mongols. Some powerful khanates, both in terms of the population they control and the territory they control, are quite good. For example, the Kipchak Khanate was the predecessor of Russia.
The geographical location of the Yarkand Khanate is very unique. It was right on the periphery of the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire. On the one hand, it was influenced by the Ottoman Empire to the west, and the followers of Muhammad, were increasing. On the other hand, it was influenced by the Ming Empire to the east, and Confucian culture was also very marketable. The people living in the Yarkand Khanate naturally blended the two different cultures and became a link between the East and the West.
The ancient Silk Road passed through the Yarkand Khanate, and the same is true of the Silk Road on the road of the Ming Dynasty. The control power of the Ming army only extended to Jiayuguan. To the west of Jiayuguan is the Yarkand Khanate. Hamiwei is only an existence of a fetter state, and the Ming Dynasty has no actual ability to control it. As for Turpan, it was basically subordinate to the Yarkand Khanate, and the Ming Dynasty also did not have the ability to control the actual surname.
As for the maritime Silk Road, it has been shrinking since Zheng He went to the West. During the Longqing period, the sea ban was reopened, and the trade of the Ming Dynasty was still limited to the South China Seas, and there were basically no ships passing through the Strait of Malacca. Most of the merchant ships that sailed to and from the port of Yuegang in Fujian were bound for Manila. Occasionally, some merchant ships traveled farther, and at most they went to Brunei and other places. As for Malacca and Novobatavia (Jakarta), which are further away, there are basically no Ming Dynasty merchant ships to arrive.
The sea power of the Ottoman Empire, mainly in the Mediterranean Sea (Hayreddin was one of them). In the Indian Ocean direction, the sea forces are weak, and there are few merchant ships. Therefore, the trade trips between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire were basically overland. This is also the basic reason why Su Mu Pu can make a fortune, the geographical location is good, and you can collect money while sitting.
Su Mu Pu sat down and said with a smile: "Escort Xu, what happened just now is indeed a bit of a misunderstanding, I was entrusted by someone, and I want to ask Escort Xu to give a little face, and I will not pursue this matter anymore." If Escort Xu agrees, I will be rewarded with a generous gift. ”
Xu Xingxia said lightly: "I don't think it's a misunderstanding. ”
Su Mu Puyue slowly restrained his smile and said slowly: "Xu Guard, we are all people who understand, just open the skylight and say something." This incident is indeed a misunderstanding. As long as Xu Huwei doesn't pursue it, it will be revealed. In the future, everyone will go their own way, and they will never meet again, let alone have similar incidents. I don't know if Xu Huwei is satisfied with this promise? Of course, for the wounded, Her Royal Highness will not be stingy. ”
