Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1346
Huang Hua lifted the rein slightly with both hands, followed the method Nick had taught him to let his body undulate with the rhythm of the horse's walking, and sat very firmly, but the saddle under his crotch was not the modern saddle used by Lingao, which somewhat made him uncomfortable. Habit.

He noticed that although the cavalrymen around them were not tall, they were physically strong, much stronger than most soldiers of the Ming army he had seen—it seemed that the Eight Banners soldiers could at least have enough to eat, and their fighting power was not enough. Strange.These short, sturdy soldiers were dark-skinned, and many of them still had the marks of many battles on their faces: scars.This gave a grim expression to their silent faces.

They are very comfortable riding on horses with full body clothes. When riding the horses, they hardly need a rein, and they can give instructions to the horses only by controlling their knees.The horse control skills are far better than the soldiers he brought to the guard battalion. You must know that these soldiers have also been specially trained by Nick.

If one-on-one white soldiers on horseback, the cavalry trained by Lingao could not be their opponents.Although Huang Hua knew that the General Staff had a low opinion of Houjin's army's combat capabilities, and also knew Napoleon's explanation of the difference between irregular cavalry and regular cavalry, but he still couldn't help but face such soldiers who had endured countless blood tests. A sense of fear arose.

He tried to stay calm, and laughed secretly: Sure enough, he is still a small businessman in essence.If I came to this world alone, I'm afraid I would have been starved or wrapped.

Escorted by the cavalry, a group of people were taken outside the net city of the imperial tent, dismounted and waited for an audience.

At this time, I heard a Houjin official outside the tent reporting something loudly in Manchu.Huang Hua couldn't understand, but he probably knew that he was announcing his arrival.

A Manchu official and a Han official went to the gate to greet Huang Hua and others.

His entourage could not enter the net city. From the gate of the net city to the tent hall, two lines of Bayara soldiers stood in awe, heavily guarded, and there was no sound around the curtain.A guard of honor is displayed outside the tent hall.

"My lord, please remove the knife." The Han official reminded.

Huang Hua untied the belt of the command saber hanging from his waist, and handed it to the soldiers beside him.Take a deep breath:

"Please lead the way."

As he said that, he slowly followed the two officials to the Ten Thousand Tent Hall.

He originally thought that Huang Taiji would sit upright in the tent hall, maybe he would give him a blow from the sky.Therefore, I have already made 12 preparations in my heart, ready to respond at any time.In fact, he was ready to die.

However, none of this happened. When he was about a zhang away from the tent hall, Huang Taiji had already greeted him from the tent hall. Before Huang Hua could react, he had already greeted him.

This move surprised Huang Hua, who was already full of vigilance.Fortunately, he has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he has experienced a lot of things on the scene, so he finally didn't panic.

After entering the tent hall, Huang Taiji was ascended to the throne, and Huang Hua, under the guidance of Qi Xinlang, had an audience and bowed three times.Afterwards, Huang Taiji said a few words in Manchurian, and then the Han official who praised him gave an order to give Huang Hua a seat.At that moment, someone brought him a stool that was not much higher than the small stool.This makes Huang Hua, who is 1.8 meters tall, feel a little aggrieved sitting.

However, Huang Hua's perception of Huang Taiji has changed a lot now. Originally, he regarded Huang Taiji as the leader of the barbarians, a middle-aged strong man who fights and kills ruthlessly, but in the moment just now, he felt A little inexplicably moved.He couldn't help reminding himself that this was Huang Taiji's trick to win people's hearts, and he couldn't have the mentality of being a dick. He would be very excited if the superiors gave him some good words.

It seems that Huang Taiji is really a character, he thought to himself, this kind of wrist and heart that puts down its body to attract people's hearts is not something ordinary people can do.It's no wonder that the rebellious and rebellious King Sanshun, who had a deep hatred with Man Qing on the surface, would bow his head and obey orders in his hands, acting as Man Qing's gold medal fighter.

Huang Taiji was very interested in his clothes, looked him up and down several times, and then spoke.He could speak Chinese, but he only spoke Manchu during the entire interview, which was translated by Qi Xinlang from the Ministry of Rites.

He first asked Huang Hua where he came from and his intentions. These were all materials that had been prepared long ago. Huang Hua immediately boasted about the so-called Great O, and mentioned that his side had established "prefectures and counties" on the "Coastal Islands". "It's just that the population is extremely short, and I hope to trade with Houjin in exchange for population to enrich the people.

Population is the main "goods" of the Senate and Hou Jin's trade schemes.Although population transfer stations have been set up in Shandong, northern Jiangsu, and northern Zhejiang, and the transport of a large number of people after the engine operation has alleviated the problem of labor shortage.But since it is trade, there must be a plan, otherwise it will become aid.Don't say that the Planning Institute can't agree, even Huang Taiji himself may have doubts.

For the Senate, the main purpose of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was to serve as a magnet that firmly attracted Ming's attention and national strength.As long as the Manchu Qing was tossing around, Ming would not have enough financial and military power to pay attention to the "Kun Thieves" far away in Guangdong and Guangxi.After the end of the first five-year plan, the Senate will inevitably enter the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. It is impossible for Mingpi Aoxin’s model to continue in such a wide range. Good means of containment.

Generally speaking, the Senate is not inclined to achieve its goals through expensive wars.It would be great if the Ming court and the Senate could be forced to compromise through Yu Manchu's containment.

In contrast, other commodities obtained through trade, except for horses and population, are not worth mentioning in terms of overall strategy.

Huang Taiji frowned slightly when he heard that what the other party wanted was "raw population" and horses. Population and horses have always been the most important resources of the Hou Jin regime.

Although the Manchu Qing captured a large number of "living populations" in previous wars, most of these populations have been distributed to the Eight Banners nobles and soldiers for agricultural production and service. To take over the battle, there are no ready-made captives to trade, or they can only be requisitioned from various farmlands and mansions.

As for horses, although there are quite a few horses in the white mountains and black waters, the Jurchens are generally a fishing and hunting people, not a herding people. The number of horses is limited, and they have to buy and force horses from Mongolia to supplement the army on weekdays.

However, the source of horses is easier to solve than population.As long as enough goods can be imported from Tai O, it is not a problem to buy horses from the Mongols, and our side can still eat the difference once.Therefore, Huang Taiji was more active in this proposal.

While answering questions with Huang Hua, Huang Taiji stared at the "big Australian man". This was the first time he had seen Huang Hua's attire: Koreans were not unusual here in Houjin, and they were taken captive from North Korea during the first imperial conquest. A large number of students; Japanese, occasionally lost at sea or "drifted" in a storm.Only this Tai O man, except for the Han Chinese, whose dress, conversation and behavior were different from any other people he met.He quickly judged that the so-called "Da'ao people" would definitely not be the "false name" of a certain Daming sea lord as some ministers speculated, and it was very likely that they were a powerful force from overseas - just like the current situation. The Westerners who cast cannons and trained troops for the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji asked him a lot of questions, including the types and quantities of commodities to be supplied, the cycle of the mutual market in how many years, and so on.Huang Hua could tell that the other party had done their homework beforehand, and it was obvious that they attached great importance to the trade with their own side.

He specifically mentioned the supply of armour, and asked about the possibility of buying grain and "the red barbarian cannons used on board."Huang Hua fully guaranteed the supply of armor. Since Hongyi Cannon didn't know the final decision of the Senate, he could only vaguely say that he would discuss it again.As for food, he said that because Tai O itself is short of food, it is difficult to sell it.

"If you can persuade the nobles of your country to buy food and red cannons for me, I will not only reward them generously. I will definitely reward you generously: beauties and children, horses and jade, you can choose." Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"Thank you, Great Khan, for your kindness." Huang Hua said, "Let me report this matter when I go back."

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "You Da'ao people come here to trade, and you can't ask for a profit. Although it's just a trivial move, I really praise you for being able to sail across the ocean and break through the waves to take risks. As long as you can Bring the goods we need, and I will never treat you badly."
Huang Hua could only thank her.

Huang Taiji ordered people to give Huang Hua "restricted food", which is Manchurian snacks such as Saqima.Then he asked about the situation of the Haitian, and at the same time said that he had sent a decree to Zhenjiang Fort, asking Zhenjiang Fort to provide supplies for the Haitian.

As for the fact that the two sides met each other in battle, he didn't mention a word.

In the end he said: "Let's do it like this. You go back to rest first, and tomorrow I will send officials from the household department to discuss with you. I still have to go around, so you guys get out first."

Huang Hua was taken to a nearby tent to rest temporarily.Although it was already noon, before the Manchus entered the customs, like most of the Han people in the customs, they had two meals of solar eclipses. This habit continued until the Manchu emperors after entering the customs.Huang Hua's stomach was growling with hunger, so he had to fill his stomach with the "keshi" delivered - the taste was not bad, especially the bean buns made with sticky yellow rice, the taste was particularly good, but the sweetness was very strange. Seems like honey was added instead of sugar.

In the afternoon, he was summoned to Huang Taiji's side again to observe the encirclement of the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

The horns echoed from all directions, and thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, dressed according to the colors of each flag, beat drums and fired cannons from all directions, waving flags and shouting.All kinds of birds and beasts lurking in the grass were frightened and ran around.People from all walks of life rushed into the paddock one by one according to the banner of the golden drum, one by one with bows and arrows to shoot and hunt the disturbed birds and animals.
