Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 60 Li Xianzhong goes to Beijing (please read the new chapter)
After receiving the news from Li Rubai, Li Xianzhong led the Liaodong cavalry from Yehe City to Tielingwei.

This trip to Yehe City was a worthwhile trip. Not only did she establish a relationship with Hazia, but she also gained Yehe, an important foreign aid.

I also received a large amount of fine Dongzhu and ginseng from Ye He. This time I went to the capital to sell this batch of things.

After all, the consumption power in Liaodong is limited. Luxury goods such as Dongzhu and Changbai Mountain Ginseng are the favorites of high-ranking officials. Now Pinglu Castle also needs a lot of money to support its development.

As for the three-eyed gun, he will not make it again. He already has his own target gun in mind.Being able to exchange the captured three-eyed gun for resources is also a suitable deal.

Moreover, this time he unexpectedly killed Fei Yingdong, one of the "Five Founding Ministers" of the Later Jin Dynasty, and obtained 800 heads with yellow flags, which was also a major gain.

With these heavy cloth armors and three-eyed guns, Ye He's combat power has also been improved to a certain extent. As long as Buyangu and Jin Taiji don't fall into Lao Nu's trick of luring the enemy, they can hold on to Ye He City for a period of time. Still no problem.

Originally, after the "Sar Hu", Hou Jin also rested for three months before sending troops to attack Yuan.

Now that their losses have far exceeded that of the same period in history, it's hard to say whether they dare to open the source.

Looking at the vast grassland, Li Xianzhong also fell into deep thought. Although the envoy sent by Lao Nu to Horqin was intercepted this time, there was no guarantee that they would not send another one. Horqin was always a "time bomb" buried beside Ye He.

Suddenly a soldier said: "Report to the Major General, the sentinels found several suspicious people near the slope in front. They claimed to be businessmen from the Ming Dynasty doing business."

Ming businessman, are you kidding me?
This place is more than 100 miles away from the border of Ming Dynasty. The people who can appear here are probably either spies or smugglers transporting contraband.

Soon these so-called Ming businessmen were brought over.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his 30s and several young guys.

Seeing that several people looked lost, Li Xianzhong knew that they must be smugglers.

So he asked: "Tell me, what good things did you smuggle into Horqin?"

The middle-aged man said: "To inform this general, the little people are just selling some tea to Horqin. Please let me wait for a way out."

Li Xianzhong sneered and said, "It's not impossible to let you go. Ask your family members to send you money."

The man begged: "General, please do well. This villain has lost all his money this time. Please let us go."

The sentry on the side said: "Major General, we have searched it. There are indeed only some tea bricks on their horses and no other goods."

Li Xianzhong said: "Smuggling contraband is a serious crime, and decapitation is a serious crime. You guys took such a big risk and left the customs just to sell these few tea bricks. It seems that you are not telling the truth."

"I don't have time to waste words with you. Someone will drag these profiteers down and chop them down."

Seeing that he was about to be killed, the middle-aged man quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, crying and said: "General, this villain has committed a capital crime by smuggling contraband. Please let these children go, they are still young. "

At this time, I only heard a dark-skinned and physically acquainted man say: "Uncle, if we don't ask these dog officials, we will have no way to survive even if we go back. It's better to kill them."

In the end, the man finally told the truth. His name was Liang San, and he was indeed smuggling with others, but he was just a buddy.

This time, behind his employer's back, he borrowed money privately to buy some tea bricks and wanted to sell them, but he unexpectedly ran into an officer.

Although they were working hard with their heads up, they actually made only a small amount of money. They also handed over half of the goods to the Ming army in Kaiyuan when they exited the customs.When entering customs, half of the money or goods exchanged will be handed over to them.

In fact, they received only a quarter of the money. After deducting the purchase cost, they only earned a fraction.

If the Jianlu hadn't been coming to rob them, they really wouldn't be able to survive, and they wouldn't take such risks to do this business.

Liang San's words shocked Li Xianzhong. This Marin was really dark. He cut half of it back and forth but took away the bulk of the smuggled goods.

Originally, Li Xianzhong thought he had made a huge profit by selling the three-eyed gun this time, but compared with Marin, it was really nothing.

Li Xianzhong said: "This general is Tieling General Li Xianzhong. Are you willing to follow me?"

Liang San said: "The villain was really just a buddy before. This time he messed up the first time he went alone. I'm afraid it will delay General Li's big business."

At this time, the guy just said again: "Uncle, why are you being cowardly? It's not like I haven't sent anything to the Mongols. General Li Shen will naturally send people to escort us. What's there to be afraid of?" "If you don't dare to do it, I'll do it. .”

This guy is not old, and his tone is quite harsh, but he is quite to his liking.

So Li Xianzhong asked: "I don't know what to call this little brother?"

Liang San said: "This is my nephew. He used to work as a miner in Tieling. This time I was short of manpower for delivery, so I asked him to come and help."

"By the way, his name is Kong Youde!"

When he heard the words "Kong Youde", Li Xianzhong took a deep breath.

Fan Wencheng was recruited just a while ago, and now Kong Youde is here.

The dark-skinned guy in front of him turned out to be the "Submissive King" who would later provide Jianlu with a large number of artillery pieces.

Only then did he remember that weren't the three traitors Kong Youde known as the "Three Traitors of Liaodong"?

It seems that this person is undoubtedly Kong Youde.

At this time, Kong Youde and the Tatars had nothing to do with each other. If they had any relationship, they were probably just enemies.

Liang San is a bit more honest, and it is appropriate for him to have Kong Youde to help him.

Li Xianzhong said: "You can do business for me. I will provide the goods and pay you a monthly salary. If you make a profit, you will be rewarded with silver. If you lose, it will be mine anyway. I am not much better than you are now."

So Liang San quickly agreed. Due to a series of mistakes, Kong Youde, who was supposed to continue working in mining, changed his career and became a profiteer engaged in smuggling trade with the Mongols.

Supply is a major problem faced by Li Xianzhong. All the Mongolians need are daily necessities such as salt and tea.

If it is too troublesome to purchase goods from the mainland, you can go through Butler Li, but in this way the Li family will know the scale and quantity of their smuggling.

And Li Xianzhong was unwilling to sell weapons and armor to them. After all, Mongolia was not Yehe. Maybe the front legs were sold to the Mongols and the back legs were directly transferred to the Jianlu.

Wouldn't it be lifting a rock to shoot yourself in the foot?

At this time Liang San said: "By the way, the Mongolians are in urgent need of iron pots. A good quality wide-mouthed pot can even be exchanged for 3 to 4 cows."

During the Wanli period, farming cattle in the Ming Dynasty cost about 6 taels of silver. The casting process of iron pots was actually not very complicated. It mainly consumed more pig iron.

Since there is enough coal and iron in Pinglubao, this business can be done. It just so happens that Fan Wencheng and the others are in urgent need of cattle to open up wasteland!
After Fan Wencheng learned about it, he quickly organized the people in Pinglubao to start a large-scale iron smelting and make iron pots.

Li Xianzhong still reminded Liang San that things are rare and valuable, don't take too many shots at once, and try to find different tribes to take action.

Soon the envoy from the Ministry of War arrived at Tielingwei and announced that Li Xianzhong was going to Beijing.

Li Xianzhong had already finished explaining the surrounding defenses and led 100 Liaodong cavalry directly to the capital.

Tielingwei is 1600 miles away from the capital, and the Ministry of War gave them ten days to report.

However, at this time, the Liaodong cavalry had abundant war horses.

Li Xianzhong and others galloped day and night with three horses and one person, and only five days later they appeared outside the Dongzhimen of the capital!
