Lin Fengjin and his group were bound to be late for the Chinese New Year, so they brought a lot of luggage with them when they left. Needless to say, the gifts they brought to Lu Yu were a thousand first-class war horses, so the journey was not very hurried.
There are a total of more than 330 people in their group, including 300 carefully selected elite herdsmen from the grassland. The rest are Li Hu's men, led by Langtu, whom Lin Fengjin is familiar with.
It is said that when Lang Tu came here, his eyes were still swollen like peaches, and the black blue on them had not faded away. It seemed that in order to compete for this mission, several of Lin De's generals were almost fighting for it.
There was internal strife, and in the end, each had a PK to decide the winner. The black spot on Lang Tu's eye was caused by a sudden punch from O Yi.
Lin Fengjin, the deputy who came with Langtu, did not expect that it would be Chibili who came from Duolibe. Many customs and habits on the grassland are not easy for Han people to understand, but this person can be regarded as someone with some knowledge.
Brave and resourceful, if the issue of loyalty is not considered, this person can be a handsome man who can stand alone, unlike a general like Lang Tu who only knows how to fight and take care of many affairs in an orderly manner.
At this time, these grassland elites had been trained by the people sent by Li Hu, and they had begun to show results. They had a neat military appearance, and their strength was naturally increasing. Lin Fengjin had nothing to do, so he called
Langtu asked about something on the grassland, and then he realized that the Sanli tribe could now be compared with the big tribes such as Shiwei, Rouran, Wang Han and so on. Its string control people had exceeded 10,000 people, and the people under its command had
The total number of herders and slaves is close to 30,000, and the livestock are really counted in millions.
As for food, the food exchanged before must have been eaten up. However, after maintaining a cooperative relationship for such a long time, if Sanlibu still can't find a way to buy and sell military rations, it would really be a pity for Lin Fengjin.
Backed by a big tree, there is enough food to manage, and the management methods in the tribe are also quite advanced. Lin Fengjin formulated it based on the situation at the time - for example, as long as a herdsman performs well, he can be fed.
If you don't make a mistake for a month in a row, you can take a day off. If you don't make a mistake in a row for three months, you can get extra property of your own:
A felt bag/a sheep/a new piece of clothing. As long as a shepherd slave does not make any mistakes for three years, he can regain his freedom, or leave with his property, or stay.
Of course, from today's perspective, this condition may seem trivial or even extremely harsh, but considering the environment on the grassland at that time, it was truly an indescribable benevolence.
Therefore, all these factors were combined. When the reputation of the Sanli tribe spread, there was an endless stream of herdsmen who came to join them. Even on the battlefields where they fought with other tribes, there would be dozens or hundreds of them.
A famous Mu slave defected on the spot. Therefore, the prosperity of Sanlibu is understandable.
Finally, according to Chi Bili's inference, Sanlibu will be able to obtain first-hand information on the seaport by the end of next year at the latest, and then there will be relocation, war, and occupation. Lin Fengjin was also a little lucky at this time that he had obtained a piece of information from Nanzheng.
A batch of ships, then the southern specialties such as ivory, jade, jade, banana, pineapple and other specialties can be continuously transported to the north by sea. Of course, the various specialties from the north will inevitably fill the cabins of the ships during the return voyage. This
This is the most ideal state for doing business: making a lot of money every time you go back and forth!
And Lin Fengjin is definitely not a person who is willing to do business honestly. Later, his plan is to start transforming from a merchant to a rule maker. When sea trade rises, Lin Fengjin will sit down and collect money. Source of income
It also needs to change from huge profits from trade to mainly collecting tolls/protection fees/tithe tax. This is like gambling and you can never make a fortune. Only by opening a casino can you honor your ancestors (ahem, I heard, I heard, a certain Macau
The governor came from a casino background).
The group of people marched in the territory of Northern Qi, and they used the sign of the Snake-Eating Army. It can be said that the whole journey was smooth. Lin Fengjin was very afraid of the powerful demon lifer hidden in the Snake-Eating Army, so before leaving,
I also went to Mr. Yangming's house next door to soak up the moonlight, so I guess I won't have to worry about it in a month or two.
After arriving at Fangcheng, Lin Fengjin was surprised to find that there were only a few hundred people left in the huge military camp. They seemed to be responsible for transporting grain. When he asked, he found out that a spy had sent the message three days ago.
We received information that the enemy's vanguard had arrived in Yin County, west of Fangcheng, and had looted and looted it.
Lu Yu immediately sent out three partial divisions to guard Yin County to the west of Fangcheng, Gong County to the northwest, and Jinpo County to the southwest. He led the main force to garrison at Damianpu, thirty miles outside Fangcheng.
The signal came back three hours ago: beacons for help were raised in the three counties at the same time, indicating that they were all being attacked and the situation was critical. At this time, Lu Yu did not divide his troops and directly led his troops to attack the nearest Yin County.
His tactical intention is very simple and clear. He does not care about the gains and losses of one city, one place, or one person. His style is to hit the target with force and attack it.
The war spies only knew so much, and the rest needed to be explored by Lin Fengjin and others. At this time, Lin Fengjin called the quartermaster who stayed in Fangcheng and asked him to bring the gifts he had brought.
:The thousand war horses are accounted for.
This was not the first time that the quartermaster had dealt with Lin Fengjin. When he saw that the thousand war horses were sleek and fat, they were all smiling from ear to ear. By the way, he looked around Lin Fengjin.
A few of them looked like guards on the grassland, and thought to themselves that these barbarians were dressed in shabby and shabby clothes. Except for the horses, they were as ragged as beggars.
Lin Fengjin said with a smile:
"Old He, you see how interesting I am. I gave you so many horses for nothing. You see how shabby my guards are, so just give me a few sets of armor, bows and arrows."
This quartermaster, Old He, was very loyal to the King of England and was a well-known old man. He thought that a few sets of armor, bows and arrows could be exchanged for more than a thousand good horses. This was a good deal. Although his heart ached, he nodded and led the way.
Following Lin Fengjin, they went to the ordnance warehouse nearby.
This Fangcheng was originally an important military town on the edge, with all kinds of military supplies piled up in mountains. First, it was divided into twelve major districts according to the types of military supplies, such as weapons, armor, saddles, carts, etc. Then each area was divided into twelve districts.
Under this large area, it is subdivided into ten divisions: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui, which is dazzling.
After arriving at the field, Lao He hesitated for a moment. Lao Heer's temper broke out, so he opened a warehouse and said:
"Pick whatever you want."
At this time, Lin Fengjin suddenly looked behind Lao He and said curiously:
"My lord, why are you here?"
Old He was stunned and shocked, wondering why Lu Yu was here, so he instinctively turned his head to look, and found that someone was there. Unexpectedly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He screamed "Ouch", turned his head and glared angrily:
"Who hit me?"
Lin Fengjin retracted his fist sarcastically and said with a dry smile:
"It's not me, hey! There's a flying saucer!"
Lao He was stunned for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses and said furiously:
"Ah!! You actually want to knock me out? Ahhh!"
A minute later, Lao He was tied up by Wu Hua Da, and there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his mouth. He looked down and couldn't see up, so Lin Fengjin didn't use the super high-performing actor Lin Fengjin like stinky socks. There was a squeak in his throat.
Uh-huh, then Lin Fengjin took off the key from his waist with ease, then walked out swaggeringly, calling over the more than 300 guards he had brought.
The officers and soldiers stationed here are ordinary defenders of Fangcheng. The Snake-Eating Army is famous for being domineering. How dare they stop Lin Fengjin and his group? Then he saw Lin Fengjin lectured Lao He with a smile:
"I know you are all having a hard time, so I asked you to come here dressed in rags and don't bring any weapons. We sent a thousand horses to the King of England. The King of England promised us the things in this place.
Pick whatever you want! Enough! Come on, come on, the warehouse with the door painted red means that it is a high-quality warehouse, either prepared for officers or soldiers in the battle, you are welcome, look at your potential! Open it
That warehouse is for soldiers, it’s all rubbish!”
In fact, for these men who are afraid of poverty on the grassland, the "garbage used by small soldiers" as Lin Fengjin calls it is already a fine product. After the expansion of the tribe, it has brought too much trouble. Lin Fengjin
The financial resources are still limited, and the usual trade profits can only guarantee the import of food, clothing and tea. As for weapons, they have returned to the era of bone arrowheads and leather armors.
When Lin Fengjin opened the officer's warehouse, the veins on Lao He's forehead bulged, and the "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeise" sounds in his mouth. When he saw the "Prairie Barbarian" under Lin Fengjin's command,
"When he shouted excitedly and crazily and rushed into the warehouse, Lao He closed his eyes in pain. His expression was so expressive that he seemed to have witnessed his wife stripping naked and being pounced on by a group of men. He was already depressed.
Constant shouts of excitement came out from inside the warehouse:
"Ah! Is this mountain pattern armor or bird hammer armor?? I heard that the leader of the Rouran tribe collected it as a family heirloom last time! Mine, mine!! They are all mine!!"
"I've wanted a three-stone bow for a long time. This is a fine product made by the general."
"Hundred-forged sword!! Look, there is a hundred-forged sword here!!!"
"Has, Haas, here, come here quickly, God Changsheng, there are actually steel-forged wolf fang arrows here, throw away your bullshit bone arrows."
