Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 163 The Golden Family
Huang DeGong left Anguo Hou's Mansion with a lot of worries, and Liu Hongjian also saw Gu Ran from Shanxi at the gate of Hou's Mansion.

The two exchanged greetings and entered the house.

"Gu Ran, Deputy Hundred Household of Jin Yiwei, pays his respects to Commander-in-Chief." There were so many people outside that Gu Ran didn't dare to greet until he got to the room.

Before returning from Shanxi, Liu Hongjian had a special meeting with Gu Datong, Gu Ran and his son. Gu Datong was a rare agent with a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and had been in business for many years.

As for Shanxi, Liu Hongjian set up a secret stronghold in the border town of Datong in order to monitor the movements of various places, with Gu Ran as the deputy hundred household of the Jinyiwei, and was responsible for investigating the movements of officials and soldiers in the country.

The vice-hundred household is from the sixth-rank position, and Jinyiwei is hereditary. Gu Ran is grateful for Liu Hongjian's trust. Not only did he form a team of cavalry, but he quickly spread the net .

This time, in addition to transporting coal mines, I came here to report work.

This time he transported a total of 120 carts of anthracite from Shanxi, which is about [-] tons according to later generations, which is already the limit of the carriage.

"My lord, the territory of Shanxi is still relatively peaceful, but the common people are suffering from lack of food, and it is very difficult. Fortunately, according to the location specified by your lord, my father has opened a larger coal mine in the north of Datong.

Thousands of people were collected, and the anthracite mined was supplied to the military camps in Xuanfu and Datong. My father decided to sell the rest of the production to merchants from the south in exchange for rice, but...there is no profit yet. "

Gu Ran is also a little embarrassed. Coal is a bad street thing. Although their anthracite can be used directly, those wealthy businessmen from the south don't like it at all.

Wealthy households are used to using coke. No matter how resistant your coal is to burning, such inferior things will not catch their attention. In a word, using coal is too cheap.

Gu Datong contacted a few former friends, so to speak, he sold a few batches of anthracite coal, and the rice in exchange was enough to help the hungry people with blind eyes, so there is no profit.

"I promised you Gu's family before that [-]% of the gross profit of the coal business will be shared with your Gu's family. Now that the country is in crisis, your father can take care of the safety of the people. I am very pleased.

However, this time will naturally not treat the meritorious people who have shed sweat for Ming Dynasty badly. At the latest two months, this time will deliver the equipment and methods to promote anthracite to you.

And when that happens, I assure you, they'll be rushing to buy it. "

Everything is difficult at the beginning, there must always be the first person to eat the crab, and this is also a test, a friend who cannot share weal and woe is not a true friend.

"In order to save my father, my lord killed many of my brothers in battle, and even brought my subordinates into Jinyiwei. Even if my Gu family dies, I can't pay one of them. My father said that no matter what situation we are in, no matter how difficult it is, I will follow my lord." Dry."

What Gu Ran said was the truth.

"Oh, by the way, my lord, a few days ago, I was visited by a stranger who claimed to be from the Chahar Khanate of Mongolia. He was ordered by his subordinate Empress Dowager Sutai to meet your lord. I didn't dare to make a hasty decision, so I Bring him to the capital as well."

"Oh? The Chahar Department, didn't they surrender to Jianshou nine years ago?
interesting!Bring people here! "Liu Hongjian's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He didn't know the situation of other tribes, but he was very impressed with this Chahar tribe.

Back then, Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe was considered a generation of pride. As a descendant of the Mongolian Empire, the No. 30 fifth Khan of the Golden Family, Lin Dan Khan worked hard to restore the glory of the Mongolian Empire and rebuild the hegemony of his ancestor Genghis Khan.

However, Tian didn’t follow his wishes. Before he started his business, the middle way collapsed, and he was repeatedly threatened by the establishment of slaves. His ally, Daming, didn’t live up to it. age.

There were only a few sentences mentioned in the general history, and Liu Hongjian didn't know anything about what happened after that. He must have surrendered Jiannu, otherwise it would be impossible for him to not hear about the Mongolian tribe from the court for so long.

The person who came was an old man, perhaps wearing bright clothes to conceal his eyes and ears, but his tall body and wild beard were comparable to those of Liu Hongjian's big club and Li Baida behind him.

"Bo Luochi, under the tent of Abunai Khan of the Chahar Khanate, pays his respects to His Excellency Earl Daming." The old man stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, saluting Liu Hongjian.

Since the Mongol Empire fell apart, the Mongolian tribes have always used their status as vassal states in exchange for the benefits of trading with the Ming Dynasty. However, during more than 200 years of separation and cooperation with the Ming Dynasty, there have been wars.

They knew that the officials of Ming Dynasty had always paid attention to etiquette, and now they asked for something from others, so Bo Luochi didn't dare to neglect it.

"You can speak my Ming language?" Porochi spoke fluent Chinese, which surprised Liu Hongjian.

"Poroch fought with a border town general of the Ming Dynasty more than 30 years ago, and there are also many Ming people in the Chahar tribe, so I learned the language of the Ming Dynasty."

More than 30 years ago, when Ming Dynasty was still an ally with various Mongolian tribes, they once conquered the Jurchen together, but finally returned without success.

"Well, not bad, but your information seems to be a bit slow, and now I am no longer an earl!"

"Oh? Your Excellency has made such great contributions in Shanxi and Shanhaiguan, and I, the Chahar Department, were shocked. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not reward him for his merits, is he so stupid?"

Boluo Chinian is over 60 years old and has experienced several emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He seems to know some internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

He thought that the earl in front of him was also treated like this, and not only did he show regret, it seemed that his trip was wasted again.

"Bold, how dare you slander me, Emperor Ming, I think you don't want to get out alive!" The Mongol has a straightforward temper, and Gu Ran didn't know the inside story, before Li Baida yelled at him before he could dissuade him.

"To be honest, I am already a marquis!" Liu Hongjian smiled and waved his hands to stop Li Baida's bluffing. At this moment,,, he wanted to put on a C.

The Mongols have always respected their strength, and it took many investigations for the Mongols to find him this time.

"Ah...it was Porochi who was rude. On behalf of Abu Nai Khan and Queen Mother Sutai, Porochi congratulated you for being promoted to Marquis!" Porochi knew that he had offended him, so he hurriedly bowed his right hand to apologize.

"It's okay, I have a big heart, tell me, what does your Ah Khan want me to do?"

"It's Abunai Khan!" Porochi reminded.

"Oh, tell me!" Liu Hongjian pretended not to care as he picked up the tea.

He probably knew some of the reason for this person's visit. Although all the Mongolian tribes surrendered to build slaves, but this person just bowed to him, maybe there is still a turning point.

Since it is a negotiation, then...the posture must be higher. Although Daming is currently short of an ally outside the customs, he still has to pretend.

"Poroch sent greetings from the Chahar Department under the orders of the Great Khan Abnai and the Queen Mother Sutai! I hope that we will reunite with Daming!"
