The entire grassland was mobilized. Huang Taiji established great prestige on the grassland in the short term through the war against Chahar. Moreover, because of the arrival of the two yellow flags and the arrival of Bayala led by Haoge, Tu Xietu and others were frightened by the force of the Qing Dynasty. Now they did not dare to make any abnormal movements. Haoge ordered Bayala to send orders everywhere, but did not inform them of their intention to fight. They just let all the grassland troops that could gather to Chier Mountain to gather, saying that the emperor had important instructions, Tu Xietu and others

How dare people refuse to follow? Within a few days, the army of the grassland tribes continued to come to the grassland north of Chier Mountain, setting up camp there. The cavalry of the brigade ran on the grassland, patrolling and guarding. Haoge notified the tribes, and then held a meeting in his central army tent after they arrived. Before that, Haoge was also waiting for a news, a news from the south, which was related to a major task, and the people who performed this major task had already gone to the south.

There is a prosperous scene in Taiyuan City. Since the chaos in the northwest, the most prosperous Xi'an Prefecture has been almost tortured by thieves. The residents in the city have no leisure and elegance to engage in various commercial activities. Whether it is the seller or the buyer, the number is much smaller than usual. Xi'an Prefecture can no longer see the appearance of the largest city in the northwest. However, in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the scene here is much better than Shaanxi. Although the thieves have also rampaged in Shanxi, thanks to the desperate resistance of Shanxi Governor Fang Mengting, the rebel army has never crossed the mine pool and entered the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture, which has caused many refugees from southern Shanxi to head north to Taiyuan.

Not only that, refugees from Shaanxi and other places also poured into Taiyuan Prefecture. Although they may not have settled in Taiyuan City, the arrival of so many people has strengthened the prosperity of Taiyuan to a certain extent. After all, the thieves have been brought back to Shaanxi, and the rumors from all over the place show that this time the court has put in great effort to quell the thieves, and even pulled the Liaodong army from outside the pass at all costs. Although the people of the thieves do not care much about the major affairs of the court, everyone is still very concerned about this matter. On the one hand, they are all victims of the thieves' rebellion, and on the other hand

Many people from other places also hope that the court can solve the problem of the thief as soon as possible, so that they can return to their hometowns to continue their lives. The good news is often a good medicine to stimulate people's consumption. Although these refugees have no property left, the markets in Taiyuan City these days are much more lively than before. Pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder on the streets. Because of the influx of a large number of foreigners, Taiyuan City is now like a hodgepodge. Even mutton steamed buns in Shaanxi are being sold, fresh things and food from all over the country gather together. Locals in Taiyuan and outsiders are visiting the market. Even Fang Mengting, who usually focuses on government affairs, is very happy.

The Shanxi official, of course, had an understanding of the overall situation. He also received news that Tianxiong Army won the battles and won the battles. This undoubtedly gave him a shot of a cardiotherapy. As long as the situation in Shaanxi can be solved in the near future, the big stone that has been pressing on his heart can be removed. He listened to the noisy sound outside the government office, couldn't help but put down the official documents and brushes at hand, walked to the window with his hands and said to himself: "Okay, the trouble of the thief cannot be cured by a dose of fierce medicine. This time the court can also demolish the east wall and repair the west wall, and transferred the elite Tianxiong Army. With them, the good days of the thief are about to come to an end. I can also enjoy a peaceful life in the Three Jins."

"Waiter, come three bowls of mutton soaking steamed buns!" At the Taiyuan market, there were crowds of people. At a stall selling mutton soaking steamed buns, a few people wearing round leather hats and looking like long-distance businessmen looked for a table leaning against the corner and sat down. The group of three of them happened to order three bowls of mutton soaking steamed buns. If people dressed like this, they would definitely arouse suspicion from others, because such a dress would definitely be out of place with the surrounding environment. However, in Taiyuan, such dressing is very common. Don't see the constant wars between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland, and the battle is irreconcilable, but the border trade that should have never been interrupted, although it seems that it has been

After closing the mutual market, this kind of thing cannot be cut off from the root. As long as there are people, there will be trade, and everyone will have demand, just like the grassland. If there is no salt and tea bricks, how do they live, and the various iron tools made in the Ming Dynasty are important daily necessities for them. The dried meat and animal skin on the grassland is also the materials needed in the pass, so there will be commercial activities as long as there is profit. The private trade between the two sides has never stopped. So people like this are not sure whether it is Han merchants or Hu merchants in the whole northwest, and everyone has been accustomed to it. After the three of them ordered three bowls of mutton soaked buns, they stopped talking, but quietly waited for the dishes to be served.

Although these three people dressed up as businessmen, they were obviously led by a thin middle-aged man in terms of their physique and appearance. The man was not tall and sat in the innermost position. The two strong men were sitting opposite him, such as his bodyguards. But this was normal. These businessmen who had been walking in the world all year round would always have some servants with high martial arts skills around them. Otherwise, in this troubled times, saving their lives would be a problem, let alone engaging in commercial activities. After a while, the waiter had a white towel on his shoulder, a wooden tray in his hand, and three bowls of steaming mutton soaking buns on it.

He walked over with a small step, shouting: "Three bowls of mutton soy steamed buns, please use them, my uncles." The waiter placed the three bowls of mutton soy steamed buns in front of the three of them, and said: "These are probably not natives from Shanxi, they came from outside." As soon as Xiao Er said, a big man's face changed several times. He looked at Xiao Er with a vigilant look on his face, and touched his waist with his backhand. But then he met the sharp eyes of the middle-aged man, and the big man took his hand back embarrassedly. The waiter didn't notice the crisis of the rabbit rising and falling. If the middle-aged man didn't use his eyes to stop him, I'm afraid that the waiter's life would be difficult to save today.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "This guy, I have such a good eye." The waiter smiled and said, "Haha, all the guests, it's not that I have good eyesight, but that I have seen many people dressed like this. They are all businessmen walking outside. The accent of the guest speaking is definitely not a local." As he said, he pointed to the north. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Haha, it's amazing. I'll ask you something, do you know the location of the Fan Mansion?" The waiter looked at the middle-aged man in surprise, "Is it objectively talking about Fan Mansion?" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right." The waiter raised his voice and said, "I can't tell you that you are still a distinguished guest." The middle-aged man said, "How do you say this?" "Haha, can anyone who can go to Fan Mansion be ordinary people? There are rumors among the people that Fan Mansion is rich.

The enemy country." The waiter lowered his voice. Then he added: "Go out of our store, go north to Chengmen Street, and walk along Chengmen Street toward the direction of the office. It is about one mile from the office. That is the Fan Mansion. The entrance is very big and there are two big stone lions, which is very obvious." The middle-aged man skillfully took out a small silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the waiter's hand. "Okay, thank you, this is for you." The waiter weighed it and it turned out to be two taels of small silver ingots. The folds on his face immediately flattened. He couldn't help but bow and bowed: "Thank you, distinguished you! Thank you!" The waiter thanked him, and the middle-aged man's face immediately calmed down. He said to the two big men: "Eat quickly, after eating, we will go straight to Fan Mansion." The few people immediately started to eat voraciously.

One hour later, the three of them followed the crowded crowd and finally arrived at the position that the waiter mentioned. What caught their eye were two somewhat exaggerated stone lions, or the specifications of these two stone lions seemed to be higher than those of the Taiyuan Government Office. That is, these merchants in the northwest dared to be so high-profile. If they were in the capital, the Jinyiwei would have come to the door long ago. The middle-aged man said to the man behind him: "I saw that waiter said it well, and the Fan Mansion is really obvious. Look, the plaques on it are decorated with gold powder, so we won't waste time. Go and call the door, and we will go and meet Fan Yongdou for a while." A big man took the order and walked up the stairs a few steps, pressed the copper ring on the door vigorously. The knocking sounded. A somewhat old voice came from inside, "Who is it!" The small window on the door was opened and a

The little old man's head saw a vicious man standing in front of him at first sight. The little old man was so scared that he almost closed the window. The big man reached out and grabbed the window, squeezed out a smile and said, "We are here to meet your master, you can go and report quickly." As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the little old man is also the janitor of the Fan Mansion, but no matter how he looks at the door, he is a vulgar and rude person. The little old man is very upset and does not answer. The big man was about to have an attack, and the voice of the middle-aged man behind him came, "Hehe, brother, please report it, I'll wait here. We made an appointment with your master. Look, this is for you." After that, the middle-aged man handed a small silver ingot through the window, and the janitor immediately changed his face. After all, who doesn't love silver? He nodded immediately and said, "Wait, I'll go right away."
