Chapter 347 clearly marked the price, Tong Suo is not bullied, "I haven't eaten a full meal for more than half a year?"
”A Fair Army soldier asked, puzzled, "Why don't you have enough to eat?"
Is it already so poor?
”In the eyes of the soldiers of the Fair Army, the life of the Mongols should have been very nourishing.The blue sky, the white clouds, a gust of wind blows, the tall pastures fall down layer by layer, revealing a large herd of cattle and sheep; When night falls, bonfires are lit outside the yurts, fat sheep and roe deer roast on the fire, and strong and fierce young men and beautiful shepherdessmen sing and dance around the fire......
The Mongolian soldier named Batel sighed and said: "Life on the steppe, how can it be so easy, we have many enemies, white plagues, black plagues, wind and sand, snow and frost, they can come at any time, and they can take our lives at any time!"
”Although the meal was not rich, several of the people who came with Ezhe rolled their eyes.The Fair Army soldiers on the spot looked puzzled: "Isn't it just the cabbage gang stewed vermicelli?"
Is it so delicious?
”"Then you must not have tasted milk wine, milk tea, milk beans, bean curd cheese, and eating in turns all year round, except for this, you don't even have to eat wild vegetables!"
A Mongolian soldier who could speak Chinese had tears on his face, and while eating the vermicelli soup, he choked up: "I drove the cattle and sheep every day, and I couldn't take a bath for ten days and half a month, and I was covered with the smell of cow dung and sheep dung."
Do you think we like to smell?
”Another Mongol soldier complained to the Fair Army soldier: "Have you ever tried to wake up in the middle of the night in a daze, and suddenly find that the tents of the entire tribe are burning, and a group of fierce cavalrymen are wielding scimitars and slashing their relatives?"
”Life in the grassland is far more arduous than ploughing the fields, wind, sand, frost and snow can come at any time, taking lives, and sometimes when a heavy snow falls, all the people of several tribes freeze to death or starve to death, disappearing from the grassland.If there is less snow or no snow, it is even worse, grazing requires a lot of water, and the water on the grassland mainly comes from snowfall, there is no water if there is no snow, the pasture is sparse where there is water, and there is no water where the grass grows well.How's that, do you want to die?
Also, if the Han people are unhappy and close the border market, they can't eat salt, drink tea, or buy cloth all year round, do they want to die even more?
Now the group of warriors led by Ezhe can be regarded as the elite of the Khalkha tribe, and before leaving, the little prince couldn't find them a decent dress with great effort, so he could only make do with a pair of stinky leather armor and a cloak sewn from rat skin.Many of the soldiers of the Fair Army are also homeless, and they are also living a life of displacement, and they are not supported to death, because Quan Xu knows what cyclical progression is, and they are given liquid food at the beginning, and they control the amount of food, slowly increasing the amount of food until they are completely adapted.The matter of supporting the dead spread in Huaiyuan Town and became a topic of conversation before and after tea.If before, Chen Ying just wanted to appease Lin Dan Khan, he just had this idea, but now he has confidence."
Little Prince, is your ministry in such a difficult situation now?""
Don't hide it from the fair king, since my father Khan was defeated and fled from Liaohetao, he has not had a chance to stop and take a breath, the Jianzhou soldiers have been chasing and beating us, and those tribes who once surrendered to us have also turned against us, and when they find an opportunity, they will attack us, causing us to be beaten everywhere, suffering heavy losses, and we have fled until Dafeichuan, Qinghai, to gain a firm foothold!"
Ezhe sighed bitterly and said, "At that time, we only had less than 100,000 people left, and less than 40,000 war horses.There is no food in the tribe at all, and it is not enough to eat those skinny livestock, and many herdsmen have reached the point of changing their children and eating them, this kind of embarrassment, you can't imagine. ”Hearing the four words "Yi Zi and eat", Chen Ying couldn't help but be slightly moved, these four words don't know how many words appeared in the history books, "Yi Zi and eat, break the bones for cooking", just eight words, but its tragedy has exceeded the limit of everyone's psychological capacity, making people can't bear to read and think.No matter which side of this kind of thing happens, it is worthy of sympathy, because you are a human being first, and then a human being of any country, as long as you are a human being, there is no way to completely extinguish your conscience!
Ezhe is the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan, he has been fighting with Lin Dan Khan everywhere since he was a child, and he is also well-informed, and he knows how to look at his face.Luo Shiming smiled bitterly: "So miserable?
”Ezhe knelt in front of Luo Shiming, hugged Luo Shiming's calf, and said very sincerely: "Ezhe came to Huaiyuan on the order of his father Khan, firstly, in the hope of repairing the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongol and Han clans will continue to join forces to fight against Jianzhou, and secondly, I hope that the Ming Dynasty can bring a total of grain to our department to tide over the difficulties. ”Ezhe squeezed out some tears, and the pride of the pride of the sky and the prairie eagle were all thrown aside, knocking his head again and again, until his forehead was bloody.He didn't want to put on such a humble posture, but there was really no way, many clansmen starved to death every day, and the trilateral army defended the border wall like an iron wall, even if all the 3,000 or so people he brought were killed on the side wall, there was no way to break through the edge and grab a grain of grain, except to beg the fair king to show mercy, he really couldn't do anything himself.Not to mention the official army of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is this self-proclaimed grass king, with thousands of elites under his command, he can easily sweep them away.The Mongols are the most realistic, they like to cling to the strong, follow the strong, and fight on the battlefield.Of course, they will also surrender to the strong, if Luo Shiming does not have thousands of elites, they will not be polite, and directly rob them of everything they have.It's just that the fair army of the Fair King is obviously stronger than the elite border army of the Ming Dynasty, so what should I do?
can only admit cowardice and surrender.Chen Ying stepped forward to help Ezhe and said, "The little prince must not be like this!"
As the prince said, Mongolia and Han are one, and your department is in such a predicament, I also deeply sympathize with you, and I am willing to help you, but ......"
Ezhe was shocked and asked, "But what?
”"Don't hide it from the little prince!"
Chen Ying sighed and said: "Although we are Han, we are not tolerated by the Ming court, we and the Ming court are two different things, do you understand?"
”Ezhe shook his head: "I don't understand!
”"To put it simply, you kneel down to the Ming Emperor and kowtow a few times, and you can get the food you want, salt, cloth, tea, and so on!"
Chen Ying pointed at Luo Shiming and said, "But, here, no!"
”Ezhe's heart sank, and he said anxiously: "King Fair, please rest assured, we Mongolian men also know what is good, the prince has helped us, we will do our best to repay you, and we will not let you suffer!"
Please, Fair Lord, save us!
”Luo Shiming said lightly: "If you have something to say, don't kneel at every turn......
It's definitely not okay to give you food for free, but we can open a border market, and you can exchange things for it!
”"Really?"
Ezhe was then frustrated: "Even if the prince is willing to reopen the border market, I'm afraid we won't be able to exchange anything, and now we have nothing!"
”"Yes, you have what we desperately need!"
Chen Ying stared at Ezhe and smiled, like a wolf seeing a sheep."
Is there really?
What is that?
”"Horses!
Your horses!
”"We ......
We have less than 40,000 horses left!
”"You have less than 40,000 horses left, so what about pulling horses?
What about camels?
”"The prince wants to pull horses and camels?"
Ezhe is a little strange, in his impression, the only purpose of opening the border city in the Ming Dynasty is to obtain war horses, as for pulling horses, there are many in the pass, and there is no need at all.Chen Ying smiled: "Yes."

Now there is a large amount of fertile land in the Yinchuan Plain that can be cultivated, and ploughing and harrowing are inseparable from ploughs and harrows, and plows and harrows are inseparable from large livestock.It is too far to sell cattle from Kannai, it is expensive, and Kannai also needs cattle, so I hope that the little prince will bring a batch of horses and camels to exchange for food, and we will take what we need, and you will get life-saving food, and we will get enough animal power. ”Cui Chengyou snatched a large amount of gold and silver treasures from the Fan family's compound, and of course, more than 300 carts of grain, grass, cloth, salt, tea, and even vinegar.After decades of operation of the Fan family, they smuggled into Jiannu and made huge profits, however, these wealth and materials became Cui Chengyou's spoils of war.Enough to develop the Yinchuan Plain."
That's easy to do, there may not be many war horses under my father's tent, but there are those horses who can't go to the battlefield, as many as you want!"
Ezhe licked his lips: "King Fair, I'll let people go back and report the news, and ask Father Khan to send a batch of horses over, but I don't know if a horse can be exchanged for food for us?"
”Chen Ying put the list in front of Ezhe's case, only to see that it was written: A horse over the age of two or under ten years can be exchanged for two stones and two buckets of wheat or two stones and two buckets of soybeans, or six stones of rice, or six buckets of salt, or sixteen tea bricks, or one horse of linen, or one-third of a horse of cotton cloth, or one-tenth of a horse of silk.On this list, Chen Ying wrote clearly, in addition to pulling horses, there are camels, sheep, cattle, war horses, and various livestock at different prices.Chen Ying smiled and said: "The price is clearly marked, Tong Su is not bullied, how does the little prince feel?"
”Ezhe frowned and said, "That's too little!"
”"Little prince, it's already quite a lot!"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "You have also traded with Daming, what price did they give you?"
What price do I give, what they want is a war horse, all I want is a horse, the difference between a horse and a war horse, you should know how big it is, right?
