Petrien has repeatedly emphasized that Russia would rather give up its local trade share with Western Europe than strengthen its trade with the Ming Dynasty.

It's very simple, this is a golden road.

Ship sailing at sea is extremely dangerous, and from the northern part of the desert to cross the Ural Mountains to the European part of Russia, all it takes is the time and the loss of the carriage, and it also consumes more black bread.

It is conceivable how much sensation it will be when we bring a large amount of silk tea and porcelain to Europe. Chinese goods are not popular these days to explain this. Merchants themselves know that it is not goods or silver that are shipped to Europe, but boxes of gold.

There is no doubt that gold is not discounted.

A large amount of goods were traded directly, and few people insisted on using cash. Russians were smiling, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were also extremely happy.

Hutchison did not eat alone. Although it is very likely that Zhang Han could eat all the goods, Hutchison did not do so. At least more than half of the Russian goods were handed over to a large number of Chinese merchants in the mouth to eat, and then transported them back to operate them themselves. Hutchison collected logistics fees and transaction taxes, which are still very low now and will not be much higher in the future.

The Russian furs are much better than those of the Beilu and Donglu, and their various special goods are also quite popular. Once shipped back, they can be shipped in large quantities, which means profit and wealth.

"Miracle, miracle!" Petrien said to Zhang Han in a drunken state, "Mr. Zhang, I think we have joined forces to promote all this. This is an absolute miracle."

"It's your persistence, Petrien." Zhang Han smiled slightly, thinking that he would have to drink less from this Russian nose in the future.

"Sooner or later one day..." A group of Russians winked at each other.

"Dear Zhang, let's give you a glass." After winking, Madov's face showed his most sincere and intimate smile. He asked someone to bring a wine glass and pour the precious vodka brought from Russia. This is the most precious wine that people of even their identities don't often drink. Madov raised his glass and said to Zhang Han: "The great Mongolian conqueror, the master of huge wealth, the controller of human hearts, respect the greatest merchant in the world!"

Zhang Han laughed and raised his glass and drank it all.

It is indeed a mellow vodka. To be fair, Zhang Han loves its taste even more. It does not have the strong burning sensation as strong as white wine, nor does it have the flavors added by later white wines. It is very pure and mellow.

"How is it?" Madoff said to Zhang Han: "This is the best wine in Russia."

“Not bad!”

...

"Kill, kill."

"It's better not to use a quick knife, use a small knife to cut it."

"Haha, Shumu, are you ruthless? Otherwise, I'll call my guy."

There was a mess of discussion and laughter around. Shumu stood by the crowd with a calm face. He was wearing a blue arrow dress, with a thin material, and gently swinging under the breeze. People were wearing cool hats decorated with red tassels to block the sun at noon. In the middle of the crowd, a punishment of beheading was being executed. Because there were many people killing, there were dozens of people who were on the move and on guard. The whole person was drawn from his own Niulu. Many people were jealous of this errand. Si Beile personally explained the errand, but Shumu was not happy.

In May, even Liaodong is very warm, and summer in the Northeast is really quite livable.

The sun is not very sunny, which is much stronger than the grassland. The temperature is only close to thirty degrees at the earliest. Wearing a light robe, people feel very comfortable.

It is not necessary to be like people in hot places. It is uncomfortable to be shirtless in summer, and I wish I could peel off a layer of skin from my body. The summer in Liaodong is very comfortable, and people cherish this short and beautiful time. The morning and night are very cool, and a thin quilt is needed. During the day, it makes people feel warm. Unlike spring, when spring is warm and flowers bloom in other places, the spring in Liaodong is still ice and snow. When the frost leaves are red in the autumn elsewhere, Liaodong is already covered with ice and snow. Summer is really the best season. Everyone in Liaoyang City is in a good mood, especially after a long time without a war that threatens their lives, it is really a happy thing to watch people cut off the barbarian's head with a knife.

Shumu was not very happy. He was transferred back to Liaoyang from Korqin. Because of his contributions over the past few years, he was appreciated by Huang Taiji. Although he was still Niu Luezhen, he was often summoned by Huang Taiji. For a Niu Luezhen, this meant a bright future. However, the Four Beile did not require him to fight.

In the past two years, in addition to fighting the Mongols, Niulu was also sent to the north, crossing the mountains to the forest and Nenjiang areas to capture the Jurchens who lived by the water and in the forest. Years of war caused great losses to the Jurchens, and the number of Dings has not been compensated. It could have been relied on the Han people to carry the flag and the naturalization of the Mongols. However, in recent years, Lao Khan has taken measures to massacre the Han people indiscriminately. Except for a few surrendered Han generals, the surrendered Han soldiers have not had a good life. Most of them were incorporated into Guanzhuang farming, and a large number of people were massacred. The Han army patches were not available. There were few foreign vassal Mongolians who were carrying the flag. In order to make up for the number of Dings, the Eight Jurchen Banners launched a continuous war to the north.

The war to the north is very attractive, small-scale and low-intensity, which can train the flag captains under their command, enable them to grow up quickly and become available warriors.

In a country like the Jurchens, where military slavery is purely military slavery, everyone wants to climb up, but that requires more resources. The warriors who can fight are the source of strength. If Shumu can be sent to the north, he will not only train his soldiers, but Niu Lu who is fighting in the front will definitely give priority to his Dingkou. For each supplement, Shumu's power will increase a little. Unfortunately, Huang Taiji did not give him such a chance.

The four Beile often summoned Shumu. Huang Taiji had eighteen Niulu under his command. Not every Niulu Erzhen could see their banner master. Niulu was big and small, and there were Jiala Ezhen, Meile Zhangjing, Gushan Ezhen, there were reporters, judges, general officers, and commanders of Niulu Little Beile. One Niulu Erzhen was at least seven or eight levels away from the banner master. Only Baiboya Laqi and Baijia often saw the upper level, not necessarily the banner master Beile level, but more were Gebushxian, which was completely out of the white armor. They were selected from the white armor and guarded the flag owners of each Beile. The number of people was very small and the most elite. They were the closest closest attendant who could often see the flag owner Beile. The one who called Shumu was jealous of the Gebushxian who was leading Huang Taiji, which made him very angry.

What makes Shumu even more uncomfortable is that Huang Taiji often asks about the situation of the Hebei convoy and related personnel. Even Si Beile would take paper and pen to record in detail, and also asked a group of Han people who could settle accounts to calculate the profits and transportation cycles of Hebei to infer the actual transportation capacity, and of course there are also escort personnel, guard teams, etc.

In Korqin, Little Belle Yuetou, Sahalian, Shuoto and others fought with the merchant army. Afterwards, both sides claimed that it was a misunderstanding. Hutchison went to fight the Mongolians, and Jurchens were the same. The battlefield encounter lacked communication, and the generals in front of them did their own affairs... Hutchison explained this, and of course the Jurchens said the same thing. Both sides were tacitly aware of. Thirteen Mountains and Korqin, several consecutive collisions of Hutchison were like icebergs under the sea that could not hide their traces. At least in the eyes of the senior Jurchen leaders, they have become a potential opponent and a worthy opponent.

Of course, no one has really regarded Hutchi as a great enemy. From Nuerhaci to Daishan, he just didn't like to be strangled to trade. Food became the biggest shortcoming of the Jurchens in recent years. When the Jurchens were blocked outside Fushun Pass, Zhang Han arrived. At that time, he was willing to ask Lao Nu to exchange everything for food. In his territory, he was all Jurchens, and at most they were divided into Jianzhou and Dong'e tribes in Haixi. But each Dingkou was the source of Lao Nu's strength. He attached importance to every power brought by each Dingkou. The lack of food brought was the lack of tribe strength, the lack of war potential, and the grand strategy could not be implemented. Therefore, Zhang Han was just a small businessman at that time, and could still take away the covenant between Nuerhaci and the Jurchen senior officials. Later, Zhang Han did not disappoint them. He sent them a steady stream of food, but Zhang Han also took away more silver.

For the senior Jurchen executives, it is better to regard Zhang Han as a vampire who sucks their wealth instead of paying attention to how many soldiers Zhang Han can fight.

This is the most important thing.

The execution was almost the end. Four people were in groups, and a total of four beheaded. Sixteen barbarians were killed. Blood flowed all over the ground, soaking the loess on the ground and seeping into the depths of the soil. Over time, the blood on the surface also dried up, leaving only a black and red mottled color on the ground.

Twelve headless corpses were lying on the ground, flies flying around, and the onlookers were all Jurchens living in Liaoyang. There were few Mongolians, and not many lived in Liaoyang City.

In addition to the Jurchens, of course there were Han people in the city, but they were all Baoyi, and only a few Han generals were allowed to live in this city that already belonged to the Jurchens.

Many years have passed since the battle between Liaoyang and Shenyang. You can still see the smoke and traces of destruction of the south city gate at the beheading place. Yuan Yingtai led his subordinates to fight the Jurchens here. Unfortunately, the main force lost all the losses outside the city, and the desperate resistance did not stop the Jurchens outside the city. Such a central city that ruled Liaodong, the tall city walls and solid walls and a large number of firearms on the head of Lebu were all decorated.

The battles between Liaoyang and Shenyang both used blood to tell the Ming army that they should not go out of the city to fight, but could only resist the city and defend.

Of course, the rulers in the city would execute and kill people. Except for the few Jurchens who committed crimes, most of the people who were killed were Han and Mongols, and most of them were Han people.

Baoyi, who had violated the law, wanted to escape from Guanzhuang, was accused of working closely with Dongjiang Town, and almost every day they were executed and killed. The officials of each flag made decisions. The interrogation was simple and quick. Of course, it was impossible to be as cautious as the Emperor Gou Jue, and massacre everywhere. The killing in Liaoyang City was already gentle enough.

The new book of Xifengxin is also written. I couldn't help reading it at the beginning today, and I couldn't help but finish it all at once. It's really good.

"The Spring Scenery of the Ming Dynasty", I guess many people who like to read history have seen it. If there is no such thing as this, my recommendation will be useful.
Chapter completed!
