Tie Mo hurried back to his house, with uncontrollable joy on his face.
Under the corridor in the back hall, I finally saw Han Niuer returning from the severe cold.
In one year, Han Niuer has changed a lot. A year ago, the young boy who liked to brag has now become a strong man with an unshaven beard.
The skin is dry and has obvious northern frostbite. The face has become much more mature, and the eyes have become sharper. Likewise, it also shows too much vicissitudes of life.
It is conceivable that in order to open up the situation and gain a firm foothold in Urg, a place he was unfamiliar with, Han Niuer had to use his brains and suffer a lot.
For some reason, Tie Mo felt his eyes were a little wet.
Han Niu'er, who was sitting at the table and devouring the food, felt something. He turned around, swallowed the food in his mouth with excitement, and stood up suddenly.
They took two steps and hugged each other.
"Brother, I'm sorry for you!"
With a simple sentence, Han Niu'er felt a warm current slipping through his heart. It seemed that all the hardships he had endured these days were worth it. Tears gradually fell from his eyes, and he smiled with a sob in his voice.
"Haha...Brother Tie...it's not hard for me, this is what I should do."
Sometimes, the friendship between men is so simple, and you can feel each other's affection without too many words.
Hai Lanzhu stood up gracefully and laughed softly: "Brother Han finally came back. Is there anything you can't say while sitting down?"
Tie Mo laughed and patted Han Niu'er on the shoulder, "Let's sit down and eat and talk."
"Yeah." Han Niu'er nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Tie, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, just like a fairy..."
"ha....."
"snort....."
Han Niu'er's words unintentionally angered a person. Aqige's face turned cold and she wanted to chop Han Niu'er into pieces with a knife.
Tie Mo felt a headache, so he naturally ignored the incident between Hai Lanzhu and Aqige, and could only pretend not to see it.
Han Niu'er was not a fool. He keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange and he no longer dared to talk nonsense.
...
Han Niuer rushed back this time because he missed Tie Mo too much and wanted to celebrate the New Year in his hometown. On the other hand, he also had a special mission.
In one year, the situation on the grassland has been turned upside down. With Tie Mo's rise and control of the Hanhai Grassland, it has also directly affected the surrounding ministries.
The first one to bear the brunt is the Khalkha tribe. The southern Khalkha tribe is close to the Hanhai grassland. Nowadays, when caravans go north, for the sake of safety, they often go eastward through the desert, increasing the distance to bypass the territory of the Khalkha tribe.
In order to keep the trade routes open and shorten the distance, it can be said that sooner or later the Khalkha tribe will have to use troops. And the Khalkha tribe is also aware of this, so it has already started planning to go south.
Aba Dai Khan previously had the idea of taking the opportunity to go south to intervene in the Hanhai Grassland, but because Tie Mo struck first, the plan to go south was aborted. However, it is not so easy for Aba Dai Khan to become the hero of Mobei.
Easy to deal with.
After entering October, Abadai Khan accelerated the annexation of various surrounding tribes, especially the tribes near the Tula River.
Due to the relationship between Hassler and Tiemo, Hassler's tribe naturally became a thorn in Abadai Khan's side. The reason why Abadai Khan wanted to control the Tula River was not only because of Monan's plan, he also
Have another plan.
Previously, the living Buddha Jebutan Zumba was introduced to Mongolia with the intention of serving him to unify the grasslands. He never thought that this living Buddha would actually collude with others. Abadai Khan did not dare to attack Urg directly because of his followers, but he was completely
You can capture the Tula River first.
As long as the Tula River is controlled, without trade and supplies, the new city of Urg will soon turn into a rotten place.
Faith? Can it be used as food?
Abadai Khan's idea is very simple. Since the Living Buddha cannot be used by me, then I will find a way to destroy this Living Buddha. A Living Buddha without believers is just a piece of stinky shit.
Faced with the pressure from Abadai Khan, both Living Buddha and Hassler hoped that Tie Mo could help. Hassler, in particular, for the sake of the safety of the tribe, privately found Han Niuer and asked him to seize the time to go south to Zhangbei.
If it were just these things, Han Niuer wouldn't have to go back to Zhangbei in person.
However, for another matter, Han Niuer did not dare to lie to others no matter what, so he could only take responsibility for it himself.
At the end of October, a cavalry team came from the north and broke into the Tula River. This cavalry team was the team of the old Maoist Ivanjie. During a trade, Ivanjie also exchanged shotguns for cannons. The originally pitiful little team became
A cavalry of hundreds of people.
Han Niuer knew that Tie Mo valued Yi Fanjie very much, so he had no choice but to put aside what he was doing and brought Yi Fanjie and others to Zhangbei.
...
After going through many hardships, Ivange returned to Siberia and then returned west to Moscow. The goods he brought were robbed, and his status increased a lot.
After feeling the infinite hope that Tie Mo brought to him, Ivanjie made a major decision. He wanted to be the first to eat crabs, he wanted to become a pawn of General Tie Mo of the Eastern Empire, and he wanted to become a noble of the Eastern Empire.
.
Evanjie, who is eager to make a career and gain status, deeply knows that this is his best opportunity.
Therefore, he brought back many good goods from Tsarist Russia, and he wanted to let the iron man see his ability.
...
In the back hall, all the idle people have left, leaving only Hai Lanzhu and others in the room.
Looking at the old man Ivanjie in front of him, Tie Mo felt really awkward. Ivanjie actually wanted to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and he also wanted to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty and sweep away the interests.
I really can't react to Evanjie's idea.
The Ming Dynasty household registration book is so attractive these days? But the key is, how does naturalization work?
Tie Mo didn't understand, but that didn't mean he wouldn't cheat. His face straightened, he stood up and looked at Evanjie seriously.
"Ivanjie, I am very happy that you have this idea. However, you must understand that it is not easy to become a subject of our Ming Dynasty, or even become a noble!"
"Little minister... I understand... I will definitely make great contributions..."
Tie Mo was very surprised that this old man actually understood the word "subordinate". It seemed that Ivanjie had been thinking a lot during this period.
"Ivanjie, I need you to open up a trade route for me between Siberia and Moscow. I need countless wealth. Can you do it?"
"If I can do it, but if I can't, I will be struck by lightning!" Ivanjie suddenly raised his right hand and swore a poisonous oath in a serious manner.
Just after swearing the poisonous oath, Ivanjie scratched his head in distress, "But, my subordinates need manpower and ordnance."
"Don't worry, the general will give you manpower and weapons!"
"Thank you, General. My subordinates brought you a big gift when they came back from Moscow this time!"
"Big gift?" Tie Mo was very puzzled?
Soon, Tie Mo saw this so-called gift.
Staring at the gift, Tie Mo frowned, not knowing whether to praise or scold it.
