Chapter 192 Return
Zhao Lide and others left the next day, and Zhang Han and others waited until the afternoon when the envoy sent by Lin Danhan finally arrived.
The messenger's name is Hebule, who is Lin Danhan's close minister. He and Zhang Han both retreated and talked secretly in a small felt bag.
"This is given to Zhang Dongzhu by the Khan, a little bit of his heart."
In front of Zhang Han was an exquisite wooden box, which contained dozens of exquisite gold jewelry, ranging from earrings to rings. It was well maintained and was bright and shiny.
These things are obviously collected by Han people. Not only are the gold jewelry made by famous craftsmen, but they have far exceeded the original value of gold, and the wooden boxes used are also made of red sandalwood, which are also very exquisite in work. The Mongolians could not make these things.
"Thank you, Khan." Zhang Han was not very happy, but he still thanked him.
"Zhang Dongzhu has not married yet, so these things are kept for future wives, which is also the Khan's intention."
The messenger was talking nonsense, just not mentioning the incident of Lin Danhan asking someone to attack Zhang Han that day. Of course, even if the small gold jewelry in front of him was Lin Danhan's apology, it was just a great Khan, the co-lord of 60,000 households in Mongolia. This "sorry" must not be expressed.
"The Khan asked you, I guess it wasn't a special one to give this." Zhang Han said: "If you have something to say, please just say it."
"The misunderstandings on that day are not necessary." Hebule said: "The Khan meant that he wanted to tell Zhang Dongzhu not to do business with the right-wing Mongolia."
"What Dahan means is that I can't do business with Bu Shituhan and others?"
"Yes." Hebule said: "Your goods can come out of Jizhen, which is much more convenient. You can go directly to the fried Huataiji place, and we will eat as much as we can. Dahan is the Mongolian co-lord, and he can also help you open a route to Mobei. Bu Shitu Khan cannot do this."
"Can I know why?"
"The Khan just gave this order, I don't know the reason." Hebule said unhappily: "The Khan is the Khan of all Mongolians. If Zhang Dongzhu really wants to do business with us Mongolians, it is better to obey the Khan's instructions in this matter."
"I will consider it." Zhang Han said ambiguously: "But I can't settle it."
He explained: "I have spent a lot of money before and have also opened up the relationship between various ministries. Now the Khan asked me to give up all of them, so I have to give me time to consider and cook."
"If Master Zhang wants to continue doing business on the grassland, it is better to listen to our Khan's words." The threat in Hebule's words is very obvious.
Zhang Han said calmly: "I said I will consider it."
"Okay." Hebule stood up and said, "I'll just pretend you have agreed."
"Your envoy can reply to your khan at will, and I will not interfere."
He came with responsibility, and the Khan's decree told him to get things done, and he was under great pressure.
In Lin Danhan's opinion, he was a great Khan from all over Mongolia, negotiated with a small Ming merchant and gave gifts, which was almost a great kindness. Now the Jurchen forces, Lin Danhan had decided to be enemies with the Jurchens, but he did not think about these things how to fight this battle and mobilize the army. At the same time, he felt a lot of pressure. Chahar's headquarters was too close to Liaodong, and Korqin beside him was at both ends of the Jurchens. If he attacked the water, he would not even have room for buffering.
In case of disagreement, Lin Danhan decided to move westward and bring more than 100,000 shepherds from Chahar headquarters to the territory of the right-wing Mongolia. That statement is that facing a fight with the Khassan tribe and the Tumote tribe, it may fight. It is best to weaken Tumote's power before this. At this time, Zhang Han was remembered by him... This Ming merchant cannot be asked to maintain trade relations with Tumote. Lin Danhan has already taken a fancy to the Ming Dynasty's rewards to Tumote's tribes. He feels that he can snatch the money and cut off the private smuggling trade. Tumote's power will definitely be greatly weakened.
After Hebule left, Liang Xing and Chang Wei turned around. Liang Xing looked angry and said, "Lin Danhan treats us as fools!"
Chang Wei said: "Brother Han, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do?" Zhang Han smiled and said, "This fool is still dreaming, thinking that he is really Genghis Khan, so let's be intoxicated by himself, what should we do or what should we do."
"I'm afraid..." Liang Xing's angry expression diminished slightly, and he said, "In the future, Lin Danhan will cause trouble for us."
Chang Wei said with disdain, "He has used all the dirty tricks of sending people to attack us, but now he has pushed it. This person is unrestrained. He takes it for granted. Compared with Brother Han, it's not a bullshit."
"We can say goodbye and leave." Zhang Han said: "Chi Ho changes, Lin Danhan is a dog. If we don't give us bones, we might be able to bite us."
Zhang Han vaguely felt that he was getting more and more involved with the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty, but he was not panicked, and even had some expectations in his heart that the whole situation might change profoundly in the short time in the future. As long as he prepares in advance, he may win in the chaos.
...
In early June, Zhang Han and his party finally returned to Xinpingbao.
The team of more than 30 people was inconspicuous. The guardian in Mongolia changed his name, and he was also a Taiji. If he changed his name, he would be in trouble at all. The Taiji was very enthusiastic about Zhang Han. He had drunk many times with Zhang Han at Bu Shitu Khan. When he saw Zhang Han, he hugged him and greeted him, and his expression was very intimate.
Zhang Han walked on the road for more than two months, and the weather turned hot, and the trade volume between Heyusheng and the Mongols was also heating up.
The most important thing is that the court has begun to restrict official trade with the Mongols, and the quota has been greatly reduced. Official trade is insufficient, and smuggling trade will definitely heat up sharply. All this is exactly consistent with Zhang Han's previous inference.
Within one or two years, the Ming Dynasty's trade with Mongolia would be completely cut off. Yuan Chonghuan made the court's discussions boil because of selling grain to Mongolia privately, which later became one of his prominent crimes. That was the time for Zhang Han to make the most profitable.
It was as lively as the fort gate. After spending half a year in the wilderness, mountains and grasslands, Zhang Han finally saw the bustling crowd at the fort gate. He felt like he was a different world. Even Liang Xing and others were still excited. Chang Wei's eyes turned red and almost shed tears.
The guardian on the Ming Dynasty was a Qianzheng. He was very attentive to send Zhang Han and others to the fort gate, with a very intimate attitude.
Zhang Han felt relieved. It was almost impossible to understand for so long. This attitude of Mr. Qian shows that He Yusheng's status in Xinpingbao has only increased but not decreased.
"The boss is back."
When he approached the gate of the fort, a man suddenly jumped out of a tea shed near the east gate of the fort. Zhang Han recognized that he was a corpse master who was brought from Lingqiu to Xinpingbao for training, named Tang Wangzong. Seeing that the word "learning" had already been taken on the breast plate on his chest, he had obviously changed from an intern corpse master to a formal corpse master.
"Tang Wangzong, come here."
Zhang Han greeted Tang Wangzong, but unexpectedly the guy ignored him and ran to the fort.
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly. After they walked forward for a while, Tang Wangzong ran back again, and this time there were several people following behind him.
"See the boss!"
June has not yet fallen into a burrow, but it is already very hot, and the corpses are still wearing very good clothes. Everyone wears a cold hat, a short gray robe, a leather belt around their waists, and they buckle it around their waists, and they fight out of their waists. They have black satin cloth boots on their feet. Everyone wears a waist knife on their waists. They look energetic, very powerful, and very powerful.
Everyone was sweating running on their heads, and the thin summer cloth on their chest also oozed out of sweat, making a large area wet.
Everyone's face was black and red, his skin looked healthy, his body was very strong, his shoulders were wide, his chest was wide, his hands were thick and straight, and there were signs of fire guns at the tiger's mouth. Everyone had bright eyes and his eyes were full of spirit. These corpses were young and middle-aged people under the twenties and thirty-five years. The daily task was to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies. The training plan formulated by Zhang Han and Wang Changfu was beyond the times in physical training. At least these corpses were obviously much stronger than ordinary people.
"See the boss!"
Five or six people bowed together, Zhang Han waved his hands, asking everyone to give up their gifts, and then laughed at Tang Wangzong and scolded: "Why are you running? You're really a ghost just now."
Tang Wangzong's eyes were very flexible, and he said with a smile: "The king's head gave the death order. The escort took turns to wait outside the fort gate every day. Once the trace of the boss is found, it is immediately rewarded... The boss, this is my seventh rotation. I am going to bump into this great fortune, but it is really a lucky star."
Zhang Han felt a little moved in his heart. He was away from his hometown for thousands of miles and dealing with a group of barbarians every day. Some were cunning, some were greedy, and some were cruel and cruel. There were countless dangers along the way and many times he had life worries. Fortunately, his subordinates were capable and had been in danger. In this way, he used a lot of trauma medicine. Many of the escorts in the process were injured. Fortunately, no one died in battle, and he was so lucky that he was so lucky.
When I returned to the fort, I felt the breath of prosperity and civilization coming to my face, and the care and closeness in front of me were not felt from the grassland and Liaodong.
At this time, Wang Changfu rushed over first, then Liang Hong, Yang Shiming and Li Yujing and others, and then Yang Qiu came down and squeezed into the crowd quietly. Seeing Zhang Han looking at him, Yang Qiu leaned forward again. Behind him were Yang Sisun, Wen Zhongfa and others. The group of people were a little cold and there were very few people crowding beside him.
The escort team leader and above all the qualifiers rushed over, and the shopkeepers also heard the news, as well as the shopkeepers on North Street. When Wang Debang, Li Changnian and Yang and Gao Yicai's group of craftsmen rushed over, there was almost no place to stand.
It was definitely a big news when Zhang Han came back. When he walked to the door of his mule and horse stroll on North Street, he saw the familiar street scenes and familiar faces, and felt his heart thrilled.
