Chapter nine hundred and ninth cut off
At this time, a baggage officer came in outside, saluted and said, "Battleman commander, Jurchens come here to ask for a visit. 3. The fastest update"
Zhang Chunniu said: "What are you going to talk about when you meet me?"
"No." The officer said: "They specified that they would meet the regiment commander or Director Lee."
"The director will not be back for five or six days." Zhang Chunniu turned to Yang Sisun and said, "Can you see them?"
From Kalaqin to Korqin, the commercial route and trade with some neutral Mongolian tribes on the eastern front were led by a business director sent by the Military Office. After the establishment of the Business Office, although the status of the directors in various places was at the same level as the regiment command or half a line, all commercial activities were led by the Business Office. This director named Li was one of the dispatched personnel. He was under thirty and smart and capable. However, because the area was too large, Director Li often had to run around everywhere, and it was normal not to be in Grejurgen City.
"Call in." Yang Sisun was sitting upright, and at this time he was even more straight.
After a while, he heard the sound of boots coming from the outside. When someone came in, Yang Sisun's eyes narrowed and a smile appeared on his face. He said in Mongolian words: "It turns out it's you, Shumu."
Shu Mu is the standard Jurgent appearance and also the image of a martial artist holding a bow and arrow. His face is black and thin, his temples are connected to the beard on his chin, his face is full of wind and frost, his eyes are full of courage, his figure is long, his shoulders are wide, he is wearing a sword around his waist, and under the blue arrow robe are black sheepskin boots. Except for not having a arch on his back and carrying an arrow bag, it is no different from ordinary Jurchen knights.
"It's you, Yang Sisun."
Shu Mu also had a suspicious look, and then a hesitant smile appeared on his face, but the smile was too ugly, as if he wanted to squeeze the muscles on his face apart.
Yang Sisun was very dissatisfied and sneered, saying, "I think you are an old friend and I am still a little happy to see you. Unexpectedly, you were still in Hetulala that day. If you have any questions, please keep it straight."
Yang Sisun put on a formal face, and Shu Mu looked much more comfortable. He also said with a stern face: "According to the decree of the Great Jin Kingdom, since then, He Yusheng has left this goods to be shipped away at the price. After that, the goods only collect grain and some cloth as appropriate. Except for these two goods, the rest of the goods will no longer be collected. If they are transported again, He Yusheng will transport them away by themselves, and the Great Jin Kingdom will not be responsible."
Shu Mu used Jurchen to declare the Khan imperial edict to show his solemnity. Most of the people present understood it. After listening to it, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.
When the trade route first started, it was mainly grain, supplemented by a small amount of cloth and medicinal materials. Later, the nobles of the upper class of Jurchens became stronger and stronger in purchasing. In the past two years, not only grain, but also various groceries have gradually increased. Grain and groceries are still in demand from the middle and lower classes. There were expensive furniture, silk, satin, gold and silver utensils, antiques, and even strange objects from Europe. It was precisely because of the Jurchens who bought it in such a large amount that the trade routes became more and more prosperous, and of course the profits were getting higher and higher.
If you only sell grain, you will make more than one million yuan a year, and remove the transportation costs and personnel expenses of such a long route, how can you make so much?
If groceries and luxury goods are laid off, the profits may be less than 30% of the previous ones.
Yang Sisun said coldly: "Shumu, it seems that you have become Niu Lue again and are successful. What a big deal you are now? Do you know? Where is Tan Tai? Let him come to see me."
"Tan Tai also gave Niu Luezhen and went back to Liaoyang." Shu Mu looked proud and looked at Yang Sisun like a cat playing with a mouse, and said with a smile: "Even Tan Tai is useless here. This is the Khan's personal instructions. The Four Beile cannot disobey the Khan's order."
Because the previous trade was established by Huang Taiji and Zhang Han, Tan Tai and Shumu were in charge for a long time. The caravan was very large in the past, and Tan Tai and Shumu had enough identities. Later, the scale expanded, Tan Taiji and Shumu could not suppress the situation. Huang Taiji sent a senior executive of Zhengbai Banner to come. He still didn't want to be involved in this matter. In recent years, due to the nail in Shisanshan, there were senior executives outside Guangningkou, and the trade matters changed from Zhengbai Banner to Gongzhong's dispatched personnel to manage. Although Huang Taiji did not have any benefits, he also lost his monopoly and monopoly over Heyusheng. People like Shumu have always despised and hated the Han people. He has been attacking the big figures in charge of the affairs of the Korqin people and provided advice. This time, most of the business trip was cut off. Shumu felt that his attacks had always been one of the important reasons. Not only did he not feel panic, but he was very proud.
"You probably don't know that this is a unilateral breach of the contract, right?" Yang Sisun was not angry. He stared at Shu Mu with a strange look until the other party turned his head and avoided his eyes.
"Da Khan's personal instructions, does Da Khan's personal instructions understand?" Shu Mu pressed his belt with both hands and emphasized again and again.
Yang Sisun showed contemptuous expression on his face, and he said, "Your Khan is not our Khan, and we are not our Lord. The Khan's personal instructions from Shumu are not restricted by us. However, you have made a contract without permission. Although we have to report this matter to Lord Zhang, I must point out solemnly that you have broken the contract first. If we do anything in the future, it will be caused by your provocation."
Shumu was captured by Yang Sisun's momentum, and at the same time, he felt that the person in front of him was obviously different from when he met in Hetuala. He seemed to have a more domineering momentum, and his tone and words were far from what he could imagine. Shumu was a little frustrated and said, "In the future, don't send other goods, as long as it is food and cloth, we will still collect them."
Yang Sisun said with a serious head, "I hope that when there is anything wrong with us in the future, Shumu, you must hide away from you. After all, you were in love with Tan Tai back then."
Shu Mu was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. He pressed the sword on his waist and said, "Yang Sisun, are you threatening to meet my Dajin sword warrior?"
Yang Sisun smiled and said, "I'm not like this, but trade is not in harmony, and there may always be conflicts."
"Hmph, then wait and see." Shu Mu said angrily.
"Get out... take care of yourself."
The Jurchens in front of him may be the general representative of the Jurchens at that time. They despise and hate the Han people very much. They always feel that the embarrassment and misery of the Jurchens in the White Mountains and Black Waters were caused by the Han people. The Han people have inhumanely suppressed and persecuted the Jurchen ancestors for two hundred years. At the same time, they also despise the incompetence and cowardice of the Han people. Because the Ming army suffered repeated defeats, this contempt and contempt have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and are difficult to reverse.
"Han Dog is a Han Dog!"
Shumu walked out of the house and felt refreshed!
Shu Mu had no regrets when he had a conflict with Yang Sisun's words. He had never and could not get along with Han people and was completely different from Tan Tai.
In order to better complete the task, Tan Tai pretends to be very friendly to the Han people even for a false social engagement. Shu Mu is most proud of that he has never disguised himself!
"Let's see!" Shu Mu saw a team of merchant troops passing by, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "When I take down the Chahar tribe in the future, I will drive all these Han dogs away sooner or later. When the Khan leads us to attack the Ming Dynasty, I must cut off the head of the Han dog more, and it's best to cut off the head of Yang Sisun's guy with his own hands!"
After Shu Mu left, everyone in the room looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
This matter is indeed very big. Yang Sisun had already written a report at his desk. Tangmadu was summoned and was on standby outside the house. As soon as the report was written, he set off immediately and went to deliver the letter.
After Yang Sisun finished writing the report, he immediately picked up the blow-dry, then put a cover of top secrets, and handed it out to someone to take it out, and then said with a wry smile: "I would rather be Director Li to see this Shu Mu now. I submitted this news to me, and I feel really unwilling to accept it."
Wang Yiji comforted him and said, "You are very reasonable and appropriate in this matter. If you know, your impression of you will be higher, which is actually a good thing."
Yang Sisun shook his head and said, "The dispute between words and verbal is of no use. If you want it, you have to rely on force. I am a soldier, and the soldiers only believe in the swords and guns in my hands. Originally, I have emphasized many times that we are doing business with the Donglu to earn the gold and silver of the Han people robbed by the Donglu in Liaodong. This is nothing. There must be a battle between us and the Donglu. Donglu is the great enemy of China, not just the enemy of the Zhu Ming court. I always keep this in mind. But it is still too early to break up, and we are not ready yet."
Wang Yiji said: "The main force of our merchant army has more than 40,000 people, but it is actually worth fighting."
"Otherwise." Yang Sisun said: "In military science, strategy is the first. Our army's main force is far away on the western front. If the enemy attacks, we can fight with it. If our army travels thousands of miles away to attack Liaodong, and the right time, place, people and one person are not occupied, how can we win? With the Ming Dynasty on our side, we are still ministers of the Ming court. There is no need to speculate, and we can also know how the court thinks of us. Our side may be in a disadvantageous position, and our financial resources are not maintained, so we cannot expand our army. You can already see that not only will the army not expand, but the training of the army has stopped. Using the army as the civilians is used. This is an obvious example."
Everyone was silent. The two consecutive years of expansion of the army certainly led to several levels of strength in Yusheng. He took down the Tumote tribe and surrendered to Mobei, which were all supported by military strength.
However, the expansion is too strong and the behavior is too ill, and the sequelae are also very obvious. The subsequent weakness and financial difficulties are difficult to support, which are all proof.
If it was west and east, it would not be a convoy traveling west, and it would be enough to rely on a few supplies. Although the Eastern Barbarians had a shortage of war horses, they were still fast-moving alien troops, mainly cavalry, and most of the eastern Mongolians surrendered. They fought in such a vast area, and even went straight to Liaodong. With the current strength of He Yusheng, it would be impossible to do it. Moreover, after the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for us to predict the enemy and us. He Yusheng should not be able to do it. Even if he could do it, he would not win the fire of the imperial court.
"It seems that it's not just Chunniu going back." Yang Sisun sighed: "We will also return west. The situation in the east is unfavorable and it costs a lot. The most correct way to do it."
Zhang Chunniu said at this time: "How is the Chahar tribe?"
"They will still move westward." Yang Sisun laughed and said, "Lin Danhan is very ambitious and talented, but he is surrounded by cowards who are very fond of merit. The Jurchens are close to us, but our reputation is not obvious after all. It is so relaxed and pleasant to move westward to bully us and Tumote tribes, and even invade the Ming Dynasty, rather than fighting with the Jurchens in blood. I think the war will break out in the year, but it should be in the west, waiting for the enemy to come here on our territory. That is really relaxed and pleasant."—
