Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 228 The Influence of Zhu Zhanhe

Is it red who is close to vermilion?Or is it black who is close to the ink?

Zhou Xin looked at the little bumpkin in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Tan Zhong's ability is actually not very outstanding, otherwise he would not be unknown in history.

But with Zhu Zhanhe's eastward expedition to the Japanese country, this experience was something that no one else could get. It was a valuable experience, which made Tan Zhong make some progress.

At the very least, it's not something a group of skirmishers can match.

As for the result, it was just a little bumpkin in front of Zhou Xin.

However, this little bumpkin was not done by Tan Zhong, but by Xia Yuanji.

"Weizhe, aren't you afraid that someone will read your book after you return to court?"

Zhou Xin looked away from the little soil bag and looked at Xia Yuanji.

"So what?" Xia Yuanji lit the fire nonchalantly.

If you don't mention his status as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Xia Yuanji, who took off his shoes and socks and put his feet near the fire, looked like an old farmer returning from work.

"It's just a view of the capital. It's not like the Ming Dynasty didn't build it before."

"Besides, there are only two hundred people here, what kind of Jingguan? Calling him a mass grave is a bit too much."

"That's not what I said." Zhou Xin waved his hand.

Regarding Xia Yuanji's imitation of Zhu Zhanhe in the past, Zhou Xin didn't have any opinions, let alone any opinions.

As Xia Yuanji said, there were too few people and it was not a big deal at all.

Besides, these people attacked Ming officials first, and they were also ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It’s so dark right now. Who knows if the enemy has any backup?
Of course, let's make a killing move first.

"Then what did you say?" Xia Yuanji still looked very unconcerned, but the expression on his face turned gloomy.

"If you want to ask something else, then I suggest you ask him directly."

Zhou Xin was a little confused and looked in the direction of Xia Yuanji's finger...

Tan Zhong.

"I can explain this to Inspector Zhou." The expression on Tan Zhong's face remained unchanged and his ears twitched.

"I have thought about leaving some of these people alive to see if I can interrogate any valuable information, but these people all have one thing in common..."

"No tongue."

The tongue is an important pronunciation organ of human beings. Without the tongue, the words spoken by a person will be unclear, and one cannot hear anything clearly.

In fact, many people think that they will die without a tongue, such as biting their tongue and committing suicide. But in fact, if you are prepared to do such a thing, it is still very simple.

Prepare hemostatic medicine in advance and have someone lean down when cutting the tongue to ensure that the blood does not block the mouth and trachea.

"In that case..." Zhou Xin twirled the beard on his chin thoughtfully, and then looked at Xia Yuanji.

"Well, it's unlikely." Xia Yuanji nodded,

Although Zhou Xin didn't say the name, Xia Yuanji also knew that Zhou Xin meant Wala.

It’s not that the people who arranged the attack were Oara people. On the contrary, what Zhou Xin wanted to say was that the people who arranged the attack were not Oara people.

The reason is still very simple. Now only Oara is left on the grassland. The Tatars were wiped out as early as the eighth year of Yongle. The three guards of Wuliangha were also swept away from the nobility in the eighth year of Yongle, and were completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Then the only person left is Wala. If we have to add one more, we can only force the various departments of Nu'er Gandu Division to come here.

But this chance is not high, because Nuer Gandusi is too far away.

In this case, the murderer could almost only be a Wala man, so Wala was the first to be freed.

Some people may think that it is dark under the lamp, and Wala may have this idea, that he can get away with the bad thing at the same time, but in fact this is not the case.

As for now, the result is that Wala cannot escape regardless of whether it is the hands of Wala people or not.

It is the hand of Wa La, so needless to say, just wait for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to attack the border.

It was not the hand of Wala, but Nawala was also guilty of poor supervision. After all, the place where the mutual trade took place was at the junction of Wala and the current border of Ming Dynasty.

What?You said that officials from the Ming Dynasty have already reached Sanfeng Mountain. This is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Wala cannot cross the border?

Then why didn't you patrol the surrounding areas properly before?After everything has been investigated clearly, there will be no place for the real culprit to hide. Wouldn't the matter be stopped in advance?

To put it bluntly, it means that I am strong and I am justified, if you are you, just accept it honestly.

"Weizhe, what are you going to do?" Zhou Xin looked at Xia Yuanji.

In fact, Zhou Xin already had a solution in mind, but among the teams involved in the mutual market this time, the person who made the decision was Xia Yuanji.

Although the two have a good personal relationship because of Zhu Zhanhe, in official matters, both of them are business-like people.

"You already have an idea, right?"

Xia Yuanji seemed to have a mental connection with Zhou Xin, and they laughed in unison when their eyes met.

The next day.

Xia Yuanji and Zhou Xin both got up early in the morning, but it was not so much that they got up early as that they didn't sleep all night.

"Can you do it?"

At the gate of the temporary camp, Zhou Xin looked at Xia Yuanji with some concern.

"No problem!" Xia Yuanji laughed and patted his chest.

"Be careful along the way." Zhou Xin sighed softly, and then nodded to Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji didn't speak, just nodded in response, then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.

Several slightly chaotic voices sounded. Xia Yuanji took the lead, followed by more than a hundred soldiers, and flew towards the south.

"Uncle Xin Ning?" Zhou Xin sighed softly and turned to look at Tan Zhong.

"Don't worry, Inspector Zhou, the rest will be left to me!" Tan Zhong knocked on the breastplate on the armor on his chest.

The temporary camp was quickly put away, and a small force headed in the opposite direction to Xia Yuanji.

……

Suddenly Lan suddenly loses temperature.

The three kings of Wala gathered here and sat around the fire cage pit.

On the bonfire in the fire cage pit, a fat sheep was sizzling, and there was also wine in front of the three of Mahamu, but they had no desire to drink.

"What do you think the Nanming people are doing this for?"

I don’t know how long it took, but the silence was broken only by the crackling of firewood. Taiping said as he picked up the water bag containing wine.

However, no one answered him.

No matter whether it was Mahamu or Bald Polo, the expressions on their faces were solemn and full of doubts.

Because they don't know either.

From Wala's point of view, although Daming's actions benefited them and Wala at the same time, in fact there was no need for Daming to do so.

If it were in the past, it would not be surprising for the Ming Dynasty to do this, because the situation on the grasslands at that time was very complicated, and there was no place for the Ming Dynasty to stand.

Although there was also a Hetao in the Ming Dynasty, as a Central Plains dynasty that had always been short of horses, a place like the Hetao was obviously not a place that could be used to herd sheep.

But now, the Ming Dynasty has destroyed the Tatars and occupied a large area of ​​grassland. It is completely able to raise sheep by itself and keep the money and food in its own pockets. There is no need to distribute them to Oara.

What's more, since the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Tatars, the old Tatar lands that were returned to the Ming Dynasty have been idle. Wouldn't it be a good place to raise sheep?
"It's useless to think about it now." Mahamu said after an unknown amount of time.

As the most powerful among the three, Wala and Mahamu now have the greatest say, which is almost unquestionable.

"We don't know yet what the Nanming people are doing, but for now, we have no choice."

Picking up the wine bag, Mahamu took a swig, the expression on his face was so dark that he could not get rid of it.

"Actually, I can probably guess a little bit. If I'm not wrong, adding wool to the mutual market should be Zhu Zhanhe's idea."

"Have you thought of it too?" Taiping looked at Mahamu in surprise.

"Ha..." Mahamu chuckled, but neither his expression nor his tone showed any signs of relief.

"It's hard to figure it out, right?"

"Xia Yuanji carried Zhu Zhanhe out several times. It seemed that he wanted to have sex under pressure, so as to achieve the effect of driving down the price of wool. It gave people a bluffing feeling."

"But in fact, some things may be that he is bluffing, but some things may be true, such as the wool thing."

"Our relationship with Nanming is good or bad now, but there are still some people who can enter Nanming. If those wools are really what Zhu Zhanhe wants, it shouldn't be difficult to find out."

"Also, finally, don't you think this wool trade feels a bit familiar?"

Taiping and Tupolo looked at each other after hearing this, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Taiping and Tupolo both guessed that the matter was related to Zhu Zhanhe, but they guessed it from Xia Yuanji's words as Mahamu said.

In addition, Taiping and Tupolo also believe that no one can control the current grassland except Zhu Zhanhe, the little kid who just kills without reason.

They are not afraid of Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, or the generals of the Ming Dynasty, because in the eyes of the Wala people, these people are "reasonable".

If the opponent is these people, then no matter how bad the result is, it won't be that bad.

But Zhu Zhanhe is different!
In the eyes of the Wala people, this little kid who has no fear of heaven or earth and who doesn't even understand the truth must never be faced head-on.

If they are against Zhu Di and others, at least they can go home alive, but if they are against Zhu Zhanhe, then there is really nothing.

It is precisely because of this fear, coupled with the fact that Zhu Zhanhe scabbard Tuo Huan in public at the New Year's Eve dinner the year before last, that made Taiping and Tu Poluo feel that there was a shadow of Zhu Zhanhe in this incident .

Isn't this nonsense! ?Even the people of Wala knew that no one else except Zhu Zhanhe could control them. Could Daming not see that?
But when it comes to other things, they really didn't expect it, let alone any sense of familiarity.

"Alas..." Mahamu shook his head slightly, obviously very disappointed.

"Have you forgotten? How did that little kid Zhu Zhanhe deal with Siam, Nanzhang, Khmer and Champa before?"

Taiping and Tupolo were shocked.

Just don't say it. When Mahamu said this, the two of them immediately thought of it.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanhe spread the news of high-yielding new grains in Yunnan, which caused a large loss of people from Khmer and other countries, and they all flocked to Annan.

Now that I think about it, it's really similar to wool.

For those farming civilizations, land and grain are the most important things. People in Khmer and other countries see a bright future with plenty of food in the high-yielding new grains.

In addition, it can be said that Zhu Zhanhe explicitly encouraged those people to leave their original countries and enter Annan. How could those who have been dealing with the land their whole lives not be moved?
For the nomads on the grasslands, the land and grains cultivated by civilization are the same as their pastures and livestock.

Although Daming did not provide them with faster fattening livestock, it could directly double the value of their livestock!
In addition, if they seek refuge with Ming Dynasty, there is a high possibility that they will be assigned to the pasture in the old land of Tatar.

The herdsmen on the grassland have been coveting that piece of grassland for a long time. Even after the rulers like Mahamu settled down, there are still a few herdsmen who occasionally cross the border to graze.

In lush and ungrazed pastures, one sheep can be sold for the price of two sheep. To the nomads, this is equivalent to the land and high-yielding grains of the cultivating people.

Thinking of this, Taiping and Tupolo couldn't help but gasp.

What are the countries that Zhu Zhanhe targeted now?

Siam was gone, the palace was burned, and the royal family was completely destroyed.

The Nanzhang was gone, the palace was burned, and the royal family was completely destroyed.

Although the remaining Khmer and Champa countries are still lingering, they have submitted a request for surrender to Ming not long ago, requesting the surrender of the whole country.

But even so, Daming is still unwilling!They also want to seize other people's royal titles, cancel their control over their own land, and make them become Ming aristocrats who don't care about anything. They will be kept captive by the Ming Dynasty for generations!
Thinking of the fate of these countries, Taiping and Tupolo seemed to have seen their own endings.

"What should we do!?" Taiping immediately became anxious and asked about Mahamu with a pale face.

That look and tone were very much like questioning.

"What can I do!?" Mahamu was also in a very irritable mood.

Because he can't help it.

This kind of strategy is the most direct conspiracy. You are told everything, even the enemy tells you, but you just have no choice.

What can you do?Cover up the news?impossible!

The addition of wool trade to the mutual market has long been spread. Almost everyone is eagerly waiting for the wool trade to be implemented. Why are they covering up?

Force herdsmen not to raise sheep?Or force them to give up the wool trade?

This is also not possible.

Although the people are ignorant and will not rise up to resist unless forced, there is a limit.

The common people are like springs. If you press them gently twice, they will accept it obediently. But if you press them directly to the end...

If you and your descendants can suppress them forever and ever, then it won't matter. But once one of your descendants is weak and unable to suppress this spring, the outcome will be self-evident.

Overturning you is the most direct outcome, maybe even blowing you away directly.
