Tea, silk, porcelain, these three things alone are enough for the Russians to covet. They have no sea estuary, and they have no trade with Europeans. The local products produced in Central Asia and Siberia can only be sent all the way to Moscow along the Tom River. The costs are high, the profits are low, and the consumption along the way is also high. If they can really trade on land with the Ming Dynasty, they may be able to wake up laughing when they sleep.

No wonder Petrien heard that Zhang Han was a big businessman. After he ignored the difference in identity and age, he first flattered and sang praises, and then made a request for trade in such a straightforward manner. For the Russians, the business path in the Far East is really too important.

But they can only accept the reality, that is, land trade is too far away, geographical conditions are complex and difficult. From the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, most of the trade between the Russians and China was carried out by Mongolian tribes. In order to obtain China's wealth, they first wanted to invade, but after being retook, they supported Wei Lat and the Mongols fighting with the Qing Dynasty. However, until the late Qing Dynasty, the Russians never started real trade with China. In fact, it was the same after hundreds of years. China's trade goal was still to go along the sea route, rather than the Russians on land.

"It's up to man..." Petrien's embarrassing expression was fleeting, and he still said vigorously: "We have a good relationship with the Mongolians. I heard that you are also dealing with the Mongolians, if both sides..."

Zhang Han interrupted him and said, "How did you know?"

At this time, laughter finally came from the store. When Zhang Han heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Yinding Taiji, it turns out it's you!"

The two of them were all dressed like Mongolian nobles. In front was a silver ingot with a horse-faced smile, and behind was a short and strong Mongolian man with a red face and beard, looking at Zhang Han with curious eyes.

"Good boy, I've grown taller again after a few months."

Yinding hugged Zhang Han in his arms, and Zhang Han also hugged his back. The two of them turned around twice. Yinding patted Zhang Han's back affectionately, praising Zhang Han's fast height.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't always flatter me!"

Zhang Han said nothing, he was not polite, there was nothing twists and turns, and it was particularly straightforward.

The more this happens, the more obvious the smile on Yinding's face. When the Mongolians deal with the Han people, they are afraid of the traps in language and actions of the Han people, and accidentally fall into it. This makes them feel the lack of IQ and experience, and they are easily angry and embarrassed.

Zhang Han did not have the problems of ordinary Han merchants. He had been dealing with Yinding for so long and met many times. Every time he talked about his own ideas directly. The more he cooperated with Yinding, the stronger the friendship between the two was. According to Zhang Han's experience of traveling on the grassland in later generations, there were indeed many evil sides of the Mongolians. The so-called simple herders also had ruthless robbers who killed and robbed people in this era, but they did have a generous and sincere side in nature. As long as they inspire this side, treat each other with sincerity, and do some small actions appropriately, they will naturally gain the friendship and enthusiasm of these Mongolians.

At least the goal of going out of the frontier has been repeatedly adjusted, running through the entire Mongolian grassland and all tribes. This is the result of the operation of silver ingots. If the silver ingots were not sincerely helped, Zhang Han would at most go to Tumote tribes and have to come back... Without anyone to guarantee or lead the way, is it really so easy to go to the grassland?

Zhang Han's size has indeed grown very fast in the past few months. He likes to drink milk and buys milk cows everywhere. Of course, there is enough meat. In addition, he has already appeared in the past few months. However, with his age, it is estimated that it will be difficult to grow any higher if he goes further. Even so, Zhang Han is half a head taller than the silver ingot. This fact makes Taiji, the arrogant handsome guy, feel very upset.

"This is Acheng Taiji, the elder of my tribe!"

Yinding and Zhang Han gave a greeting, and then introduced the short and strong middle-aged man behind Zhang Han.

"In Zhang Han, I have met Ah Cheng Taiji."

Zhang Han bowed his fists and bowed. It was only the first time he met Acheng. He was not a noble person from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there was no reason to greet Acheng Taiji.

Acheng Taiji wore the robe of the Ming military officer. The red robe was a bit too long on him, and the horns were almost dragged to the ground. The chest was embroidered with a tiger roaring to the sky under the moonlight. There was a gold belt on his waist, a pair of court shoes on his feet, and a silver medal of military officer engraved with his name and identity hung on the gold belt... From this we can see that Acheng was a military official who was granted a serious imperial decree. Since Altan was granted a tribute, the Ming Dynasty would grant military officers a military officer every few years. Under the King of Shunyi, he would grant military officers a title, a general, a co-master, a commander, and a commander until thousands or hundreds of households. The official positions were valuable and not over-the-top. Taiji in Mongolia was as numerous as cows, and there were very few who were actually given military officers. The silver ingots in front of him were also Taiji, so he did not receive the title of the Ming Dynasty.

Ah Cheng had already looked at Zhang Han for a while, and listened to Zhang Han talking to people in popular Mongolian language. Only then did he smile on his face and pat Zhang Han's arm and said, "Master Zhang, you can be considered a friend of our Mongolians."

Zhang Han also breathed a sigh of relief. Acheng was not a second-hand man like Yinding. Before meeting him, he had heard that this man was a nobleman of the Tumote Huangtaiji tribe. He had been through several terms of Shunyi Kings but did not fall. When Salike colluded with Huo Luochi and went west to invade Hetao and various parts of the Western Regions, Acheng Taiji was also the most important figure among the 200,000 Mongols at that time. Later, Salike returned to the east, and Acheng gradually disappeared. Unexpectedly, he met this great Mongol here today.

After getting Acheng's recognition, Zhang Han also breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "I wish you good health to protect Acheng Taiji's trip will be smooth."

A Cheng smiled on his face and said, "It's just a trip for my friend. This Rakshasa person is not a good person. I don't trust him. Whether his success or failure has nothing to do with us Mongolians."

At this time, Petrilin was talking to the others, not far apart, but Acheng had no intention of being afraid at all and spoke very directly.

He said again: "The Khans in Mobei may be interested in the business and trade he told you just now. If you have enough strength in the future, you can really talk to this person, but be careful, he is a hungry wolf!"

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ah Cheng Taiji, I know who is a friend and who needs to prevent problems."

Acheng sighed: "This is indeed, no one of you Han people is not a slight heart. When we Mongolians talk about fighting, one hundred are not your opponents. This time you are heading north, I don't worry about other places, but you have to be careful of Taining tribe. The group of wolves have always been hostile to the Ming Dynasty, and their hatred is deep like the sea. They will not like the caravan with the Ming people's names on their territory. They will sway in their territory!"

"Also," Acheng continued: "Cha Hanhaote, you must go. Even if you can't persuade the Khan, you must bribe the nobles around him. Khan does not like the Khan Destiny Sweat. The Khan on the grassland is supreme. The Jurchens are also called Khan. Khan feels angry, so in Khan, you can only speak profits and don't say too much else!"

Zhang Han is very optimistic about the growth and strength of the Later Jin power. In history, Nuerhaci and Huang Taiji and his son fought repeatedly to cross the Mongolian coalition forces, and finally unified the Mongolian forces, ending the situation of each unit being dispersed, and putting the Mongols under their own battle flag. Finally, the Mongols also made great efforts in the war of the Later Jin swept the Ming Dynasty. However, at this time, Nuerhaci was just the lord of a small country by the water. The Jurchens have always been under the oppression of the Ming Dynasty. In the past two hundred years, the Jurchens have also rebelled from time to time, but the scale is not large and their combat effectiveness is very poor. Most of them were immediately defeated by the Ming army. Compared with the Mongols, the Jurchens were a weak and pitiful weak nation. They lived by fishing and hunting, and survived by the Ming Dynasty. After being expelled from Dadu, the Mongols experienced many defeats.

Still indomitable, he returned to his strength during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. He not only attacked the city of Beijing, but also annihilated hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Ming army and captured the Emperor of Ming. After so many years, the Mongolians and the Ming army fought against each other in the north for thousands of miles. The Mongols did not suffer any losses. Compared with this brilliant record and Guangrao territory, Nurhaci was not famous and representative of weak forces. He was arrogant and praised Khan and wanted to be on par with the Mongol Khan. He once fought a battle with the coalition forces of various Korqin tribes and turned his face to fight each other. The hostility of the Mongolian tribes now is natural to the Jurchens. This hostility is gradually weakened and eliminated through various means of war and marriage. At least at this stage, the more neutral the tribes go west, the more hostile the tribes in the east are much greater.

"The Korqin people seemed to be defeated. I heard that they secretly colluded with the Jurchens, but I don't know whether the news is true."

Acheng added a last sentence, with a little regret on his face.

"A Cheng Taiji has helped me very much." Zhang Han's face was full of sincere smiles. There was a lot of news. Even though he, a future generation, only knew the general trend, not the details and the specific time of occurrence. If someone in it could know the trends of the high-level Mongolian nobles who could provide information to him, it was a huge benefit.

A Cheng smiled and said, "Your caravan has been supplying goods to us. I have made a lot of money in the past few months. Otherwise, why should I be so good to you, a Han boy?"

Zhang Han felt ashamed, and the Mongolians were so straightforward.

"I heard that you have collected ten times the grain you received, so I'm waiting to transport it to Liaodong. I don't want to work with each department. You are really good."

A Cheng looked at Zhang Han with appreciation. This Han boy really left the Mongolians too far in business, but his straightforwardness was also reserved... If there were talents among the Mongolians who were good at business, why should he control this business? If it was not a person who really didn't make any moves, why should he ask a group of Mongolian nobles to support a Han merchant? If it wasn't for the huge benefits that could be seen before him, he would wait to take them in the future. How could he, a fourth-rank military officer, who was the most qualified military officer of the Tumote tribe, be so polite and friendly to a young Han man?

The large-scale war between Tumot Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty only stopped for decades!
