Maybe after a few decades, Naiman tribe can live a stable life, where they can do business, wear silk and satin, and no longer live on horseback relying on the blessings of immortality like they do now.
One hand gently rubbed Aqige's shoulder. Looking at the man beside him, Aqige's eyes turned red.
"Why are they like this?"
Tie Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Because everyone has different ideas, ambition, self-esteem, hatred, and various reasons, people make different choices. We can't force it, do you understand?"
"Hey, forceful melons are not sweet, and Bayan Khan is waiting for us to start a fight so that he can take advantage of it. We can't break up with Batu at this time. Aqige, you should do the same.
The choice is made.”
Looking at the dark sky outside the tent, Aqige closed her eyes sadly, "Is this the only way?"
...
The next day, a big event happened in the Naiman tribe. Princess Luodan reached an agreement with Batu, and Batu was elected as the new Khan of the Naiman tribe, while Princess Luodan led her people south.
This means that the powerful Naiman tribe in the Hanhai Prairie is divided into two, with Batu's tribe in the north and Aqige's men in the south near Zhangbei.
No one knows what will happen in the future. At least for now, Batu will not be stupid enough to conflict with Aqige.
The Naiman tribe split peacefully, which greatly disappointed Bayan Khan.
But even so, Bayan Khan is still sharpening his sword and preparing to launch the next attack. Now is the time when Naiman's tribe is at its weakest. If we don't take action at this time, I am afraid there will be no such good opportunity in the future.
The clouds of war still have not dissipated. Bayan Khan regrouped and prepared to swallow up the Naiman tribe once and for all. Batu was also not idle. He worked hard to integrate the tribes together and prepare to face the upcoming threats.
Batu is not stupid. It is almost impossible to stop Bayan Khan by himself. Therefore, he has to rely on Aqige. This is the main reason why he does not dare to conflict with Aqige.
.....
Zhang Beicheng, Hei Yunlong, Ma Fang, Li Jiasheng and others were sitting in the temporary squad room with strange expressions.
"Lao Li, you don't know why Brother Tie came to find us?"
Li Jiasheng spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yunlong, you have asked the wrong person. My wise brother only said that there was a good thing, so he asked me to call everyone here."
"Good thing." Ma Fang raised her eyebrows and immediately grinned, "It seems we are going to get rich."
After a while, Tie Mo led Zhou Dingshan and Liu Guoneng into the house, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm sorry, I just got the news that Bayan Khan has made another move. I need to deal with it, so I'm late.
Already."
Hei Yunlong waved his hand indifferently, "We are all brothers, we don't have to pay much attention to it. Brother, please tell me, what is the good thing?"
Sitting down, Tie Mo asked mysteriously: "Brothers, as far as I know, you have a lot of obsolete ordnance in your hands, right?"
"Ahem!" Hei Yunlong coughed twice with an embarrassed look and nodded silently, which was regarded as admission.
The border army's ordnance also needs to be replaced. According to common sense, the old ordnance needs to be stored in the warehouse and returned to the court. However, many generals in the Xuanfu, Datong Prefecture, and Qian Boss reported the damage to the ordnance and secretly stored the old ordnance.
After a period of time, the old ordnance would be transferred to Shanxi merchants, who would then resell it, which would be a huge profit.
However, there are always surprises. Since Zhu Youjian came to the throne, the Shanxi Party has almost been swept away, and Shanxi merchants have also been hit hard. As a result, the reselling of old ordnance has been delayed. Take Hei Yunlong as an example.
Hundreds of sets of ordnance are all backlogged in the warehouse.
I couldn't sell it for the time being, and I was afraid that some ignorant person from above would come to check it out, so Heiyunlong didn't pay enough attention to it.
Tie Mo asked briefly, and the three of them understood. Ma Fang had the most inventory in his hand, and he leaned on the ground impatiently and asked: "Brother, do you have a way?"
"have!"
"Who is the other party?"
"Son of Boar Skin, Dorgon."
"The son of the wild boar skin?" Ma Fang looked stunned, and suddenly hesitated, "Brother, we have to think about this deal. Not to mention the risks involved, we were in a hurry to take action, but we didn't help the wild boar skin.
The reason."
Tie Mo had already expected this scene, so he had to explain it to everyone in detail.
Reselling a batch of ordnance, provoking internal strife between Huang Taiji and Dorgon, and also making money to win a batch of war horses. In the face of huge benefits, it was really hard to refuse.
By this time, Hei Yunlong and others were already tempted, but the matter was so big that once they were held accountable, they would not be able to handle it. After thinking for a moment, Ma Fang came up with an idea.
"There are a few guys over there in Datong Mansion who also have a lot of inventory. Why don't we bring them in too? With money and war horses, those guys have no reason to refuse."
Tie Mo was immediately overjoyed, "That's of course very good, but can these people be trusted? If anyone is not strict with his words, he will reveal this matter first, and the batch of war horses in Dorgon's hands will not be able to trick them.
.”
Ma Fang patted his chest and said resolutely: "Don't worry about this. The one you found for your brother is naturally trustworthy. If you are looking for someone who doesn't care about you, won't you cause trouble for yourself?"
After the matter of reselling ordnance was settled, it was inevitable to talk about Zhang Beicheng's situation.
Everyone is very aware of the recent conflict between the Naiman tribe and the Sunit tribe. Especially in the situation of the Naiman tribe, it is really difficult to stop Bayan Khan. Once the Naiman tribe collapses, the first person to be unlucky is probably
Zhang Beicheng.
Tie Mo also knew that he did not have enough troops, so his idea was very simple, that is, to ask Hei Yunlong and others to borrow troops.
Hei Yunlong and others have a good personal relationship with Tie Mo and are willing to help, but they also have their own difficulties.
Li Jiasheng said with a tangled expression: "Xian brother, in fact, General Hou is willing to help you, but you have to know that if you want to deal with the Sunit tribe, the Xuanfu will have to use nearly half of its troops. With so many troops heading north,
The grasslands will cause uneasiness among the various Mongolian tribes. Furthermore, if such troop movements are carried out without the permission of the imperial court, even the commander-in-chief Hou will be held accountable afterwards."
What Li Jiasheng said is true. The mobilization of border troops requires military orders. Without military orders, mobilizing border troops privately is tantamount to treason.
Tie Mo thought for a moment and hesitated: "What if Bayan Khan leads troops to attack Zhang Beicheng?"
"This..." Hei Yunlong pinched his chin and his eyes lit up, "Now Zhangbeicheng is under the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty. Bayan Khan took the initiative to attack Zhangbeicheng. We mobilized troops to support Zhangbei, which can be regarded as guarding the territory. This matter
It’s not our fault if we cause trouble to the top.”
Ma Fang scratched his head and muttered in his heart, "Bayan Khan wouldn't be stupid enough to attack Zhang Beicheng, would he?"
Tie Mo smiled bitterly and shrugged, "Who can say this accurately?"
