The news that there is a salt lake in Mongolia surprised everyone in the tent, because since ancient times, everyone has never heard of this thing, if this is really the case, then Mongolia is still desperately attacking the Central Plains to do, in fact, the Mongols invaded the Central Plains, not because the Mongolian steppe lacks all the necessary materials for life, especially salt Despised everyone's rarity and strangeness, Lu Hanqiang took out a pen and paper and drew a sketch on the table: "In fact, Mongolia is not short of salt, and it is also a massive amount of salt, but the current Mongolians are not civilized, in addition to grazing cattle and sheep, they don't know how to develop, they are now, they are holding the salt bag to eat light rice, there is really no way to take them, this is not to blame." ” "It's impossible for Mongolia to have a lot of salt, I haven't heard of it since I was a child, let alone a small one, even my grandfather's grandfather hasn't said it."
Gao Xu asked suspiciously, Gao Xu has been a horse thief for generations, and he has been haunted by the border between Mongolia and Han people for several generations, almost half of the Mongolians: Sir, aren't you used to fooling Lin Dan Khan, and you are fooling us again.
Now, everyone has admired Lu Hanqiang's ability to fool to the point of worship, so everyone has begun to be wary of this object of worship.
Lu Hanqiang didn't care about Gao Xu's muttering, and said to himself: "As far as I know, in the north of Datong, on the grassland west of Baokang, Hebei, there should be a perennial river that does not freeze, I don't know what his name is now, this river flows to about this location, forming a perennial unfrozen lake, in fact, this lake is a salt lake, the reserves are extremely rich, and it is thicker than the salt lake in Yuncheng."
We dry salt right here.
Then he smoothed the map on the table, and said with a smile: "Especially in principle, the imperial court doesn't care about this place, but it is occupied by our border army brothers, so there is no need to apply to the imperial court for salt or anything, so it will be more convenient for us to do anything." ” This place mentioned by Lu Hanqiang is the location of Shangdu County in Ulanqab in later generations, where there is a natural salt lake, where a large number of migratory birds inhabit every year, becoming a beautiful scenery in the local area.
Being reminded by Lu Hanqiang, Hua Shuliang suddenly slapped his thigh: "Sir, I know this place, when we captured Wang Tingwu a few times, when I escorted hundreds of truckloads of gold beads and property back to Datong, I passed by here, yes, that river is not frozen, it is still salty." ” Lu Hanqiang smiled: "There can only be two kinds of water that is not frozen, one is hot water with high temperature, and the other is salt water, but the salt content is low, and it will still freeze at a certain temperature, and only the high salt content will not freeze, especially in the past few years, the winter is obviously twice as cold as before, and it is definitely not frozen, and it is definitely higher in salt."
Lu Hanqiang summed up excitedly.
"Brother Hua, since you know this place, then you immediately rush back overnight, find this lake, and then use the seizure we have to recruit a large number of displaced people in the northwest, hire a salt-drying master, and make every effort to level the salt pans and start salting, I think the temperature is very high at this time, and the grassland has long sunshine hours, and it is still dry, and the salt must be produced quickly, I will give you two months, and you must bring me a large amount of salt, and start our plan to block the emperor's finances."
"Don't worry, sir, I'll do it."
Hua Shuliang said that he would do it, and he would stand up and leave without saying a word.
But suddenly remembered that there was a flaw in this statement, Lu Hanqiang let him go, and he still had to stay here for two months, so what would he do "Sir, aren't you leaving," Hua Shuliang asked Lu Hanqiang worriedly.
Lu Hanqiang said with a smile: "Since I promised to help Lin Dan Khan, I have to do things well, and now Huang Taiji is chasing Lin Dan Khan all over the world with two thousand people, I will simply stay and help the handle, who made me a kind person, who let me have a good Anda here, a good person to do it to the end, help Lin Dan Khan cut off his tail, let him stand firm and take a breath." ” As soon as they heard that there was a fight, the little fat man and Chen Liang Gao Xu immediately raised their heads and gradually opened their eyebrows, their eyebrows fluttered, and Xu Jie's little fan swayed as fast as a dog's tail.
Hua Shuliang stopped in horror: "No, no, now Lin Dan Khan has become a frightened bird, and he can't count on it at all, and you take five hundred brothers to fight against the two thousand elites of Huang Taiji, absolutely not, absolutely not." ” The little fat man also figured it out and resolutely opposed it.
Lu Hanqiang smiled and said: "I will let Chen Liang go to Zhangjiakou again and transfer some explosives bags and archers, anyway, most of Zhao Sihai's subordinates are our soldiers at the beginning." ” "But now you are cloth, you have no right to transfer troops, once you transfer troops, it will be a capital crime."
Xu Jie was worried.
"I don't transfer troops, I only ask for some explosives and a longbow or something, Zhao Sihai has a way to get this out without knowing it."
Hua Shuliang also wanted to stop Lu Hanqiang from taking risks, so Lu Hanqiang waved his hand and said firmly: "Needless to say, in order to weaken Huang Taiji, in order to prevent Lin Dan Khan from entering the west to cause trouble in our grassland, I must take this risk." ” Hua Shuliang was deeply moved by Lu Hanqiang's sentiment of serving the country and the people, and he didn't say anything anymore, and after giving a deep salute, he rode to the west overnight, not only to complete the cause of Lu Han's forced salt, but also to tell the border troops near Yanbian, hoping that these border troops could give Lu Hanqiang support.
Driving away a group of guys who were excited about the battle, Lu Hanqiang calmed down, took out a pen and paper, and began to write to Chongzhen again.
This letter must be written, because it is about the reward that he promised Lin Dan Khan, although the silver is not much, only four thousand taels, but this represents the Ming Dynasty's recognition of Lin Dan Khan, which is very important, and another is that he promised to Lin Dan Khan to exchange the head of the gold for silver, in fact, this thing is still doing it now, but after all, it is still justified to do it with the imperial court, and Lu Hanqiang has long foreseen the resistance given by Donglin, so he also wrote a letter to Wang Shilang, asking him to choke Donglin to death by following the ancestral system, Of course, the ancestral system is not the system of previous generations of emperors, but the system of the apocalypse, as long as the brother who is most respected in Chongzhen's heart is moved out to say something, this matter is almost invincible, after all, he just said that he slandered the apocalypse, so Chongzhen did not hesitate to kill a squire This matter is in front, and Donglin will be afraid of it.
There is also the matter of sending materials to the Lin Dan Khan tribe, which must be made clear, otherwise Donglin will be annoying to deduct a hat for himself.
So Lu Hanqiang took the trouble to repeatedly say his strategic ideas, hoping to get Chongzhen's support, and for this, he also wrote a letter to Wang Chengen, a financial superstitution, telling him that if the matter was successful, half of the profits from selling salt would be given to him. t1706231537:
