Such a reward amount is nothing to Qianhu Nayan, a powerful man on the grassland.
The various Mongolian tribes have complicated origins and have been fighting each other for hundreds of thousands of years. It was only in the past twenty years that Genghis Khan used strong means to unite them. Between each thousand households, or even among the own people of each thousand households, if
Going back several decades, it is easy to find a blood feud.
Therefore, on the grassland, all kinds of hijackings, plunders, even poisonings, and vendettas are as common as eating and drinking. And the powerful people will often buy a few sheep or horses to buy someone's life, and even more
It is natural and justified.
This trip was originally the same, it was just that they gave more livestock. When hundreds or thousands of households in many places heard about the amount of the reward, they thought that the Han businessman had slept with the wife of Yeligasi or Belgudai.
, causing them to fly into a rage...
This kind of thing did not happen before. When poor families on the grasslands received nobles, they often asked their wives to come forward to warm the tents and beds. However, Han merchants generally looked down on grassland women.
But then they discovered that this reward was a bit special. It was not about killing people, but about finding and rescuing people?
Is the life of this wealthy businessman so important?
It seems that Yeligasi and Belgutai are still scrambling to distance themselves from each other, trying to prove that they have nothing to do with the disappearance of this noble man, and are they particularly concerned about his safety?
When some Qianhu heard the news, they just laughed and asked the subjects to cheer up when grazing, keep their eyes open and look around more, maybe there would be a chance to get some benefits. Some smart and capable Qianhu smelled something else from it.
taste.
The Mongolian Nayan people's perception of the Central Plains imperial court and the Central Plains Han people have gone through a complex process of change over the years. They once regarded the Central Plains imperial court as their suzerain, and they also once regarded the Central Plains imperial court as dogs, sheep, and livestock to be taken away from them.
After Genghis Khan's defeat in the Central Plains, the Central Plains court's military presence on the edge of the grassland became more and more obvious and more stable. Even the Han merchants who came to the grassland were much tougher than before. But generally speaking,
, wherever the Han children went, they had to take care of all the Mongolian tribes.
After all, they had no foundation in the grassland, and the might of the Zhou Dynasty could not save the people from afar. The life and death of ordinary merchants or civil servants depended only on the thoughts of the Mongols.
Therefore, the nobles and nobles of each thousand households still showed great contempt for Han'er in front of others and behind the scenes, and kept telling the people, let's be patient for a while and don't panic! When Genghis Khan returned from the Western Regions, he showed great contempt for the Central Plains court.
The conquest will begin again! This time, the powerful Mongols will definitely kill all the Han people, destroy their cities, and enjoy their wealth and women!
Until now, Yeligas and Belgutai had offered such a huge reward, as if they wanted to save the missing man's life and find his traces at all costs.
Interested people will find out after further inquiry that it turns out that Yeli Yasi has reopened the forecourt in Gouluo in recent years and made a fortune with Han'er's backing, while Belgutai was jealous of the profits from the forecourt, so he brought people to the door to rob him. As a result,
Although he convinced Yeli Yasi, he could not convince Han'er, because the person who killed Han'er had to kill the Mongols in the market as compensation!
In fact, Belgutai killed people in the market, and he killed Yeli Yasi's subordinates mainly to frighten the thousands of Nayan people, including Yeli Yasi; but when Yeli Yasi conveyed the news, he could naturally
He tried his best to pour dirty water on Belgutai, saying that he had knelt down to Han'er, killed many Mongolians to pay for his life, and disgraced the Golden Family.
When Belgutai was summoned, Yeliyasi was also mentioned. According to him, Yeliyasi's supervision was not good, which led to the disappearance of important figures in Han'er, which was about to cause a conflict with the Central Plains court. I am a left-winger
Qianhu took over the business to clean up the mess for this loser.
It's okay for these two families to quarrel with each other for their own interests.
But other Mongolians thought of other things one after another.
Some people thought: It turns out that not only Yeli Yasi, but also members of the Jin family can be so fawning in order to maintain business with Zhongyuan!
Some people thought: It turns out that those people above are bragging every day that they will invade the Central Plains again and kill people and plunder, but they are actually bluffing us! The days of relying on swords to gain benefits from the Central Plains are really over!
Some people became so nervous that they couldn't sleep all night long: Actually...ahem, I really took advantage of others' surprise the day before yesterday and killed a lone man and took away his satin clothes. Will it happen?
Yes... Oh God, what if I kill the person Qianhu Nayan is looking for with a reward? Should I tell my captain? Or should I keep hiding it and pretend not to know anything?
There are also some ordinary Mongolians who can't help but settle accounts.
If there is a conflict between Mongolian tribes, if you kill a person from a rival tribe, you will usually be rewarded with three to five sheep by the tribe. If you kill a famous warrior from the other side, you may be able to get a horse. They use the very simple thinking of the Mongols
After some calculations, we soon discovered that a Han nobleman who went to the grassland to do business was worth hundreds of times more than an ordinary Mongolian...
It turns out that Han'er's life is life, and is it so precious?
Then think about it the other way around, aren't we noble Mongols? Aren't we killing Han'er like killing chickens? Why did we end up in the end, or are we people more despicable?
So they became confused, became irritable, and began to work hard to search for the person worthy of the reward offered by the two Qianhu Nayan.
The old shepherd Kunbuha was grazing on a grassland north of Galibo. This grassland was intertwined with several hundred households. The herders often chatted together while grazing. When he heard the news, he was stunned for a while.
He immediately entrusted the sheep to his companions and hurried back to the settlement.
He planned to ask the captain of ten to confirm the accuracy of the information.
"Fifty horses! A thousand sheep!" After a while, the shock on his face still couldn't fade away: "I have to go to Captain Abel. He must know whether this news is true!"
Kunbuha himself was just a herdsman, but his captain Abul had some background.
Abul was an experienced Mongolian who had fought for many years. He followed the fourth prince Tuo Lei to Shandong and also followed the warrior Zhebie who was unparalleled in archery to Liaodong.
However, five years ago, when he followed Zhebie to fight in Liaodong, he was attacked by the Ding Navy at night. During the battle, Zhebie died, and Abul's right shoulder was torn apart by Han'er with a spear. From then on, he
His right arm could no longer move and became a display, and he also lost the ability to fight on horseback.
After that, the situation on the grassland continued to change. When Genghis Khan launched the Western Expedition, Abul's old boss Naminfu followed the fourth prince and took away most of the young men in the hundred households, and even the men who originally belonged to Abul
Hu Ga, the body slave, also followed Na Minfu.
But since Abel, who was originally brave and good at fighting, was no longer useful, he has been a captain of ten and has no hope in life.
Because of this, Abul had a bad temper towards others, but he was very disciplined, as if he was still the big shot who had a chance to compete for the centurion. Kunbuha often received a whip every time he had something to say to him.
Now Kunbuha was going to see him. He originally wanted to go shirtless, but then he thought it would be more serious to wear something that would also protect him from the whip.
He first picked up a tawny round-necked robe, but it was snatched from the Han Dynasty five years ago. It was worn out and had strands on the elbows and hem. He didn't have any other clothes.
I could only wrap a piece of sheepskin around the robe and tie it with a belt to prevent the sheepskin from falling apart.
This sheepskin was tanned by Kunbuha himself during the winter last year. It was soaked in sheep blood and his own urine for a long time, so the smell was a bit strong. There was a cold wave before tanning, so he didn't have time to completely scrape off the grease. As a result,
In many places it was as hard as wood, and the wool was clumps and knots, forming the lines on the wood.
After Kunbuha was wrapped in sheepskin, he found that he could not bend down to put on his shoes, so he had to sit on the ground to put them on.
These shoes were also snatched from the Central Plains five years ago. They are the style of leather shoes commonly used by Jurchens, with the cloud head that is popular among Han people. Kunbuha is usually reluctant to wear them, and only wears them when he goes to see his boss. Even so, the shoes are also
Very broken.
Kunbuha was a Mongolian who was accustomed to poverty, so he didn't care about this. After putting it on, he stretched his legs and feet with satisfaction:
"Well, this way I can go to see Captain Abel in a dignified manner. This is a big event and cannot be delayed..."
