At dusk, it was time to close the gates, when several more cars suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Xu Xiaoqishou put up a canopy and looked into the distance, judging from the wheel corridor of the car, it should be a Lele car.
The Lele car is the main means of transportation of the grassland herdsmen, mainly used in the whole tribe to migrate on the grassland, looking for new water sources and pastures, of course, it is also used to carry goods in ordinary times, this kind of car often appears in Daning City, it is not uncommon.
This kind of car is pulled by a bull, and the speed is not very fast, but the bull has great strength, pulls a lot of things, and has long strength, which is an advantage that horses cannot match.
The birch cart is sturdy enough to withstand long-distance bumps, and a shed can be built at any time to shelter from the sun and rain.
Whenever the tribe transitioned, the cars would be connected from end to end, moving along the steppe like a long train.
Now, the five or six cars are connected head to tail, lined up in a row, and after the cars turned to the official road in front of Daning City, they became a line, and they were indeed coming towards Daning City, Xu Jiang waved his hand to stop his subordinates from closing the city gate.
At first glance, this team is from the grassland tribe, but I don't know if it belongs to the tribe of Taining, Fuyu or Duoyanwei.
These men on the grassland are arrogant and untamed, their surnames are violent, and they often fight and fight in Daning City because of quarrels or drunkenness.
Now that they have obviously arrived at the city gate, if you don't even have a cup of tea, if you must close the city gate, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make trouble under the city, and the soldiers of Daningwei are easily unwilling to clash with these native herdsmen.
The car drove to the city gate, along with the wind, there was a fishy smell wafting from afar, the car was stacked high, all sheepskin, cowhide, one by one fur, one side of the leather there was black, red blood, the other side of the fur was also very dirty, the hair was full of blood and mud, fortunately it was already very cold at this time, and there would be no more flies buzzing and falling in the summer between the bumps.
It's untreated fur, and it's not worth a fortune.
Their handicraft skills are very poor, and they can only sell these sheepskins and cowhides at a very low price to the leather merchants in Daning City, and the Han skilled craftsmen in Daning City will then clean and nitrate and deep process, and then cut them into smooth and beautiful leather robes, leather blankets, felt mattresses, and then resell them into the Central Plains, and the price can be increased by more than ten times or even more than twenty times.
This has always been the case from ancient times to the present, and the benefits obtained by the producers at the source are far inferior to those obtained by the intermediate producers.
Xu Jiang likes to eat beef and mutton very much, but he hates this fishy and smelly taste, he pinched his nose and stood far away, looking like a gentleman's distant cook, commanding the reluctant soldiers to come forward to inspect and collect the entry tax.
The people who came were Fuyuwei's, they had no road guides, these tribesmen were uncertain, and the management was loose, so it was impossible to carry a household registration book in their arms like the residents of Guannei, and be obedient people like sheep, but their cars were planted with Fuyuwei's flag.
The inspection was very fast, and the truckloads of dirty and bloody furs were actually clear at a glance, and there was nothing to check, and soon they were allowed to enter the city, and Xu Jiang couldn't wait to command his subordinates to move the antlers into the city gate hole and close the heavy city gate.
On the streets inside the city gates, several wandering "people" noticed the convoy, and at the same time noticed the big man sitting in the back of a car.
Dressed in a shabby leather robe, with a fluffy hat on his head, and a cow knife hanging from his bloated waist, tied around his waist with a cowhide rope, he looks like an ordinary herdsman's dress, but although many of his herdsmen are this kind of oily, shiny, black, red and red fat face, a beard like a halberd, but this person is slightly different, he is very much like a person, a person called Sehazhi.
The Shanin faction's people in the city had seen his portrait repeatedly and remembered his appearance, and he was soon targeted by those who had a good heart.
Saihazhi touched the thing he was carrying in his arms, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and if he walked further, he would pass through the Daning Wei Yamen, how could he think of a way to "leave" the thing into the hands of the Daning Wei soldiers without a trace.
Saihazhi is a soldier, since he became a soldier, he dares to fight, he is not afraid of death, he looks rude, but in fact, he is rough and fine, and he has the shrewdness of a grassland man, so he was promoted step by step by King Yan to be a henchman.
But in essence, he is still a steel knife and a passionate man against the enemy, and he has always used force to solve problems.
But Lord Yang Xu told him that the courage of the puppet is actually nothing, a person must have brains, people with strength and muscles, always have to be managed by people with brains, Sehazhi feels very reasonable, he thinks that if he wrestles and fights, His Highness must not be his opponent, but what he can do, His Highness can also do, and what His Highness does, he can't do.
So he honestly obeyed the orders of Lord Yang Xu, and insisted on using his rusty brain, and firmly memorized what the adults told him, and then turned out the not very high Daning city wall at night, and with great effort, found a few herdsmen who could write Mongolian, and paid them to write a passage according to his dictation according to the instructions of the adults, and then found a Han scholar who did not know Mongolian, and asked him to transcribe these fragmentary words into a complete letter.
He was illiterate, but he checked the entire letter word by word against the words on the sheepskin to make sure that it was word for word.
Although he was stupid, he was serious enough and patient enough, and in the end, on the way to Daning City, he waited for a convoy of wagons, and made good friends with them with a bag of good wine, and took their car back to Daning City.
"Brother Unqi, you go to the inn to stay overnight, I'll go get some good wine, and I'll look for you later."
When he saw a small hotel, Sehazhi finally thought of a way, and the shepherds of Fuyuwei laughed when they heard it, greeted him warmly, and drove away first, while Sehazhi walked towards the small hotel, he planned to put a bag of wine, and then drink a body of wine in the tavern, pretending to be drunk, passing by the Yamen of Daningwei's commanding envoy, and then "missing" the letter he had carefully concocted.
Saihazhi was very happy, he felt that the proverb "those who sleep with horses will definitely grow fleas on their bodies" is really too reasonable, similar to the Chinese Zhu Zhechi, you see, he and Lord Yang Xu have only been together for a few days, and he has learned to use his brain.
It's a lot harder to use a brain than to use a knife to cut people, and he believes that if he continues like this, he will become smarter and smarter.
It's a pity that Saihazhi's accidental spark of wisdom was not perfectly realized, when he bought a bag of wine, drank three bowls of wine, and deliberately spilled his own wine, and left the tavern with a drunken state, and wanted to run to the door of the Daning Wei command to cause trouble, several guards from Shaning, who pretended to be herdsmen, blocked him.
There was a punch and kick, and then everyone pulled out their knives.
There is no prefect in Daning City, in this outer city, Daning Wei commands the yamen to be responsible for all aspects of the local military political and legal department, as soon as he sees someone fighting with knives, a team of officers and soldiers immediately ran here, those few Shaning guards did not expect this Saihazhi to be so tricky, they couldn't take him, and when they saw the officers and soldiers running, they had to scatter with a bang.
Sehazhi was stunned, and suddenly thought that it would be good to drop the letter like this, so he quickly threw the letter on the ground, put away the knife and fled.
The officers and soldiers had deliberately slowed down their pace, they knew that it was common for these herdsmen to get drunk and fight and fight in the streets, and it would be a matter if they were scattered, and it would be difficult to deal with them like the people in the Guan, and if you didn't catch a person, people would come to make trouble around the yamen, and when they saw that they were blown away, the little flag officer who led the team accepted it when he saw it, and stood majestically to stop and want to withdraw the troops.
Then he saw a letter on the ground, and the words on the cover were in Mongolian.
The Mongolian herdsmen were few literate, and few of them wrote letters, so they preferred to ride on horseback, run for three days and three nights, and rush to say a word to the person he wanted to see, and the one who communicated with the letter must be a Mongolian nobleman, so he picked it up very rarely.
"The fourth brother fought another big victory in Yongping, Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao, Liaodong General Yang Wen was defeated and retreated to Shanhaiguan, and the governor Geng Rong led the remnants of the army to defect to Cao Guogong."
When Zhu Quan heard Sha Ning tell him the news, his face was very peculiar, as if he was surprised, happy, and seemed to be a little envious and jealous.
Sha Ning bowed his head lightly and emphasized: "In just one and a half days, King Yan commanded 50,000 troops, and rushed to Yongping City non-stop, and in just one and a half days, the 60,000 army of the Marquis of Jiangyin collapsed, and if he didn't escape quickly, he would be completely wiped out by King Yan." ” Zhu Quan slowly sat down behind the chair: "There is also Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong's 500,000 army, the outcome is not yet known." ” Sha Ning said with a smile: "Your Highness is now saying that the outcome is not yet known, originally you decided that King Yan would be defeated." ” Zhu Quan glanced at her and sighed softly: "Ning'er, this king can't act carelessly, but if he makes a move, then there is no way out."
Fourth brother, of course I hope he wins, fourth brother will never be like my unkind nephew, force us to death, I just want to be a prince of peace.
Right now, Chen Heng, Liu Zhen, and Zhu Jian regard this king as dead, and the whole of Daning City has become their world, except for this Yanwang Mansion, what else belongs to us, Ning'er, you can't act rashly. ” Sha Ning also sighed and said: "Your Highness, of course I understand, let it go, but I hope that you will brazenly raise troops and embark on a desperate road with no return, I just don't have too much hope for the imperial court, and now that King Yan has won the battle again, this is indeed good news, I hope that the imperial court will loosen the rope around our necks."
As soon as she said this, the white-haired old steward staggered in and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, Daning Wei commanded Zhu Jian to send troops to surround our palace."
Ning Wang Zhu Quan's face changed greatly, he jumped up suddenly, and exclaimed: "Zhu Jian surrounded the lonely palace, why did he come?"
