Jinyi Night Walk

At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate, several cars suddenly appeared on the horizon.

Xu Xiaobanner set up the awning and looked into the distance, judging from the outline of the car, it should be a Lele car.Lele vehicles are the main means of transportation for the grassland herdsmen. They are mainly used when the whole tribe migrates on the grasslands, looking for new water sources and pastures. Of course, they are also used to carry goods at ordinary times. This kind of vehicle often appears in Daning City .Not uncommon.

This kind of cart is pulled by bulls, and the speed is not very fast.” But the bulls are strong, they can pull a lot of things, and they have great strength, which is an advantage that horses can’t match. Birch carts are strong and can withstand long distances It is bumpy, and sheds can be set up at any time to shelter from the sun and rain. Every time the tribe transitions, this kind of car will connect head to tail and move forward continuously on the grassland, like a long train.

Now, the five or six cars are connected end to end and lined up in a row. After the cars turned to the official road in front of Daning City, they turned into a line. They were indeed coming to Daning City, so Xu Jiang swayed waved.He stopped his subordinates from closing the city gate.This team looked like they were from the grassland tribes, but they didn't know whether they belonged to the tribes of Taining, Fuyu or Duoyanwei.

These men on the prairie are arrogant and rebellious, with violent tempers.In Daning City, they often fight because of quarrels or drunkenness, and nine out of ten are them.Now that they have already arrived at the gate of the city, if you don't even wait for a cup of tea, if you must close the gate, there is no guarantee that they will not stab and make trouble under the city. The soldiers of Daningwei are not willing to fight with these Indigenous local herders clashed.

The car drove under the city gate, and along the wind, there was a smell of fishy smell. The car was piled high, all of which were sheepskin and cowhide, and each piece of fur was hard and black. The other side of the fur is also very dirty, and the hair is full of blood and mud. Fortunately, it is already very cold at this time, and there will be no flies buzzing in summer between the bumps.These are untreated furs, not worth a lot of money.

Their handicraft skills are very poor, and they can only sell these sheepskin and cowhide to fur merchants in Daning City at a very low price.The skilled craftsmen of the Han people in Daning City cleaned and tanned them for further processing, cut them into smooth and beautiful leather robes, leather blankets, and felt mattresses, and then sold them into the Central Plains.The price can be doubled by more than ten times or even twenty times.This has been the case from ancient times to the present. The benefits obtained by the producers at the source are far inferior to those of the intermediate producers.

Xu Jiang likes to eat beef and mutton very much, but he hates the smelly smell. He holds his nose and stands far away.With the appearance of a gentleman far and wide, he directed the reluctant soldiers to come forward to check and collect the city entry tax.The people who came came from Fuyuwei, they had no guides, the whereabouts of these tribal people were uncertain, and the management was loose.It is impossible to carry a household registration book in the arms like the residents in the Guannei, and "be an obedient citizen like a sheep", but their car has the flag of Fuyuwei.

The inspection was quick, and the dirty and smelly furs in the carts were actually obvious at a glance, and there was nothing to check.Soon they were released into the city, and Xu Jiang couldn't wait to command his subordinates to move the antlers into the city gate and close the heavy city gate. On the street inside the city gate, several "people" cruising noticed the convoy , At the same time, he noticed the big man sitting in the back of a car.

Wearing a shabby leather robe and a furry hat on his head.A buffalo knife hung around his bloated waist, tied around his waist with a cowhide rope, looking like an ordinary herdsman.but his appearance"

Although many herdsmen have this kind of oily, black and red fat face, and a big curly beard, but this person is slightly different, he looks like a person, a person named Sai Hazhi .The people of the Shanin faction in the city had seen his portrait repeatedly and firmly remembered his appearance, and he was quickly targeted by those who wanted to.

Sai Hazhi touched the things in his arms, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and then walked forward.We are about to pass through the Yamen of Daningwei, how can we think of a way to "leave" that thing in the hands of the soldiers of Daningwei without a trace.

Sai Hazhi is a soldier. Ever since he became a soldier, he has dared to fight and rush, and he is not afraid of death. He looks rough, but in fact he is rough and fine.With the shrewdness of a grassland man, he was promoted step by step by King Yan to be a confidant guard.But in essence, he is still a steel knife and a passion for the enemy, and he has always used force to solve problems.

But Master Yang Xu told him that the bravery of a man is actually nothing, a person must be smart, strong and muscular.It is always under the control of someone with a brain. Sehazhi thinks it makes sense. He thinks that His Highness must not be his opponent in wrestling and fighting, but His Highness can do what he can do. His Highness can do it. something that comes.He can't do it.

So he obediently followed Master Yang Xu's orders.He insisted on mobilizing his rusty brain, and firmly memorized what the adults told him.Then I dug out the not-so-high Daning city wall at night, and after a lot of effort, I found a few herdsmen who could write Mongolian, and asked them to write it down according to his dictation. A paragraph of text, and then found a Chinese scholar who did not understand Mongolian.Ask him to transcribe these bits and pieces into a complete letter.

He was illiterate, but he compared the entire letter word by word against the words on the sheepskin to ensure that the words were correct.Although he is stupid.But he was serious enough and patient enough. In the end, on the only way to Daning City, he waited for a group of trucks and made good friends with them with a bag of good wine. The car returned to Daning City.

"Brother Wuenqi, you go to the inn first, and I will get some good wine, and I will find you later."

When he saw a small hotel, Sai Hazhi finally thought of a way. The shepherds of Fuyuwei smiled and greeted him warmly.He drove the car away first.And Sehazhi walked towards the small tavern, he planned to pack a bag of wine, and then get drunk in the tavern.Pretending to be drunk, he passed by the yamen of the commander of Daningwei, and then "missed" the letter he had carefully prepared.

Sai Hazhi was very happy. He felt that the proverb "A person who sleeps with a horse will definitely grow fleas" is really reasonable (similar to the Chinese saying "near Zhu Zhechi"). You see, he is just like Mr. Yang Xu. After being together for only a few days, he has learned to use his brain.It's a brain exercise" is much harder than cutting someone with a knife, he believes that if he continues like this, he will become smarter and smarter.

It's a pity that Sai Hazhi's flash of wisdom was not fully realized. When he bought a bag of wine, drank three bowls of wine, and deliberately spilled the wine all over himself.He left the tavern reeking of alcohol.When he was drunk and wanted to run to the gate of the commanding yamen of the Great Ningwei to cause trouble, a few guards of Shaning who were posing as herdsmen blocked him.

After some punching and kicking, everyone drew their knives.

Daning City didn't have a magistrate's office, in this city outside the Great Wall, the commanding yamen of Daningwei was in charge of all aspects of the local military, political and legal department.Immediately a group of officers and soldiers ran over here.The Sanin guards didn't expect that Sai Hazhi was so difficult that they couldn't take him down.Seeing the officers and soldiers coming, they had to scatter with a bang.

Sai Hazhi was stunned, and suddenly thought that it would be good to leave the letter like this, so he quickly threw the letter on the ground, put away the knife and ran away.

The officers and soldiers slowed down their pace on purpose. They knew that it was common for these herdsmen to get drunk and fight with knives in the street, and it would be fine if they were scattered." If they were really arrested, it would be difficult to deal with them like the common people in the pass. Yes, if you fail to arrest one person, a whole family of people will come and make trouble around the gate of the yamen. Seeing that they have been scattered, the little banner officer who leads the team will stop as soon as he sees it, and stop majestically. Mingjin retreated.

Then, he saw a letter on the ground.The words on the envelope are in Mongolian.Few of the Mongolian herdsmen were literate, and few wrote letters. They would rather ride a horse and run for three days and three nights.He rushed to say a word to the person he wanted to meet, and the person who exchanged letters must be a Mongolian nobleman, so he picked it up very rarely.

"The fourth brother won another big victory in Yongping. Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao and Liaodong General Yang Wen were defeated and retreated to Shanhaiguan. Governor Geng Gu led the remnants of the defeated army and defected to Cao Guogong?"

When Zhu Quan heard Shaning tell him the news, his expression was very strange, like surprise, joy, and envy and jealousy.

Shaning nodded slightly, and emphasized: "It was only a day and a half. King Yan commanded [-] troops and rushed to Yongping City non-stop. In just a day and a half, the [-] army of the Marquis of Jiangyin collapsed. If he didn't escape quickly, he would be killed." King Yan is completely wiped out."

Zhu Quan sat down slowly behind the chair: "There is also Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong's 50 army, the outcome...is yet to be known."

Shaning said sweetly: "Your Highness is saying that the outcome is yet to be known? Originally, you believed that King Yan would be defeated."

Zhu Quan glanced at her, and sighed softly: "Ning'er... I can't be careless in my actions." If you make a move, there is no way out. Fourth brother...Of course I hope he wins, four No matter what, brother will not be like my heartless nephew, forcing us to die? I just want to be a prince of peace. Right now, Chen Heng, Liu Zhen, and Zhu Jian regard this king as deadly Yes, the whole of Daning City has become their world, except this Prince Yan's Mansion. What else belongs to us. Ning'er, you can't act rashly."

Shaning also sighed, and said: "Your Highness, of course I understand, let's live a good life, but do I want you to raise your troops brazenly and go to a dead end? I just don't have too much hope for the court. Now King Yan has won another battle, this is really good news, I hope... the imperial court will loosen the rope on us..."

As soon as she said this, the white-haired old steward ran in staggeringly, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, something is wrong. Daningwei commanded Zhu Jian to send troops to surround our palace!"

King Ning Zhu Quan's expression changed drastically, and he jumped up suddenly.Surprised: "Zhu Jian surrounded the lonely palace, why did he come?"! ~!
