Win the Ding 1617

As night fell, the celebrations began for the various banners that took over the plundered goods and people. The restaurants and restaurants were full of soldiers of the Eight Banners who wore money and rat-tail hairstyles and drank wildly there. The traditional habit of the slaves named Manchuria is that when they send troops, they are not happy, and their wives are also happy, but they only wish to get more property.After getting the stolen goods distributed by these plunderers, it is natural to enjoy them well.And those captured people who were assigned to the banners began their life as slaves or slaves.

To the west of Tongtian Street, to the north of Middle Street, and to the north of Hanwang Palace built by Lao Nu.A rectangular courtyard with two entrances from north to south, behind the main entrance is a screen wall carved with red bean stone from Benxi.The screen wall is full of patterns of "Feng (bee) Hou (monkey) hanging seal" and "Fu (bat) Lu (deer) Shou (immortal) Xi (magpie)".

There were bursts of screams and whipping sounds from behind the screen wall.

"Hit! Hit hard!"

A Bayara soldier leader greeted his subordinates viciously, waving a thick cowhide whip in his hand, and whipped the two Niulu Zhangjing and Fende Pashiku who were tied to the ground.

"These two damn servants! I ran into that group of thieves with the red flag on the street. The group of thieves insulted our lord. These two servants went up to argue with them, but they fought and were beaten. Well, the majesty of our lord was broken, the master ordered us to whip them forty lashes, and let them remember what it's like to retreat before the battle!"

Dorgon, who got off his horse in front of Zhaobi, frowned after hearing the introduction from the housekeeper of his third younger brother, Duoduo, "The slaves under his command lost a fight with others, how can they still fight like this?! Let go! A stone of rice, let them take care of it well, it is a reward for the master's efforts!"

"Second brother, you are late! All the good-looking savage women have been picked up by the elder brother!" Although Azige, Dorgon, and Duoduo ranked among the brothers as the twelfth, fourteenth, and fifteenth sons, However, whenever the three of them get together, they still like to use the ranking address between brothers from the same mother.

In the room, Duduo and Azig were sitting around on a low table and roasting the mutton on the iron rack. The unprocessed mutton smelled so fishy that the women who had just changed into bannermen's costumes beside them She frowned slightly but didn't dare to show any disgust. [

Dorgon didn't say much, took off the cloak on his chest, and threw it to the Bayara soldiers at the side. Sitting opposite the two brothers, he took out a knife from his waist and began to cut the meat on the iron frame to eat.

The bloodshot mutton had just been cut and hadn't been put into his mouth. The housekeeper came to report, and a businessman asked to see him.

"These bastards! You have a real nose. I know that I have divided the money today, and I have silver in my pocket! Tell them, go find that fat man! Don't bother me!"

"That's right! I just had three cows cut off from my body by that fat man today, and I'm so angry that I have no place to vent! I'm going to make a fuss with these savage women tonight!"

Duduo and Azig cursed loudly and recklessly.

"Forget it, since you came to the door, there must be something good. Let's come in and have a look!" Although Dorgon lost three Niulu, at least there is still one Niulu in this banner, although it belongs to A Batai, but in fact, this record is still his strength.

The butler took the order to go, and after a while there was a sound of footsteps, and he led two people dressed as businessmen to the three brothers.

"He's from Shanxi? When you see me, why don't you kneel down and pay respects?"

Duoduo picked up the silver bowl, took a sip of the wine, and cast a sideways glance at the two people with the strength of the wine.

An older, very knowledgeable man knelt down on one leg and saluted Qian Qian, and greeted the three banner masters with the accent of Shanxi Jiexiu area that Duoduo and others were used to hearing. (This is not a regional attack, because Fan Yongdou, the head of the eight imperial merchants, is from Jiexiu, Shanxi.)

"You barbarian, why don't you kneel?!" Azig looked at the man who was about 40 years old. Although he looked like a white-faced boy, he didn't care.

"Do you know that according to the rules of my Qing Dynasty, if you don't kneel down to pay respects to me, I can kill you immediately! No matter which company you belong to! Even if it is Fan Yongdou, you have to kowtow to me!"

"Really?" The visitor asked in the Liaodong Junzhen accent that the Dorgon brothers were used to.

"I would like to ask, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, when a slave meets his old master, he is not polite to greet him, but instead threatens him, what is the crime?!"

There are obvious thorns in the words. [

"You bastard! Whose old master are you?!"

Duoduo dropped the wine bowl and was about to explode.

"I would like to ask, what should your father call you when you see Li Gongyi Chengliang?!"

Dorgon couldn't help being a little surprised by what the visitor said.Before his father made his fortune, the days in Li Chengliang's mansion of Liaodong General Soldier and Guangning Bo had already become the most secretive and least visible part of their family's history.But this is often the case, the more you want to cover it up, the more it will arouse other people's desire to peep.He, Dorgon, couldn't figure out whether his father's real name should be Tong Nurhachi, or Li Rumou?

"Li Gong has the virtue of nurturing and cultivating the imperial examination, so Li Yongfang, as a concubine in the Qing Dynasty, enjoys wealth and honor."

"Hey! This kid turned out to be a son-in-law!" The visitor chuckled lightly, and took off a jade pendant from his waist, "Send someone to deliver it to Li Yongfang, and say that his brother-in-law has arrived. Let this If you come here, do a family salute and kowtow to say hello!"

It turns out that the descendants of the Li family in Tieling have arrived!No wonder you are so proud!

There has been an inexplicable relationship between the Li family and the Yezhupi family that has been secretly circulated in the family. Li Yongfang is just a descendant of the Li family. Before he has the blood of the Li family, Nurhachi has already been ordered to marry his granddaughter to him. .Although it is said that Fushun dedicates the city to the outside world, but the secrets in it are naturally not enough for outsiders!The three brothers couldn't help putting away the arrogance they had just had, and looked at the visitor as if they were their own.

It was Li Peiting who came!

"Li Yongfang passed away two years ago, and now his son Li Sutai is waiting in the city."

Li Peiting frowned twice when he heard Dorgon's words, "This guy is dead? I have traveled thousands of miles to look for him, and he went to the Western Paradise?" As he spoke, his nose twitched, not sure if it was true. twice.

However, he immediately became dissatisfied with the smell in the room.

"What are you eating?!" Pei Ting was very disdainful of the food the three of them were enjoying.

"You barbarian! We respect you as a descendant of Li Gongcheng Liang, and you are not as knowledgeable as you, but you are talking nonsense here!"

Facing Duo Duo's roar, Pei Ting didn't answer. He just sat down next to Dorgon himself, nodded and called the businessman who came with him, and gave a few words in his ear. die.

After a while, the housekeeper led a few maids and maids back with the businessman, holding a bunch of bottles and jars in their hands.

Pei Ting took out some things from several bottles and jars, sprinkled them on the dishes in front of him, and then mixed them gently.He reached out and took the knife from Dorgon, cut a piece of mutton from the iron rack, dipped it in the dish, chewed it in his mouth, and swallowed it with satisfaction.Afterwards, he handed the dish and the knife to Dorgon.

"Prince Rui, please!"

Seeing his elder brother eating happily, Duoduo also snatched the dishes and dipped them in the roasted mutton. Sure enough, the taste was very different.

The maid on the side opened a jar, and a strong aroma of wine permeated the room.

As soon as you enter it, it is like a raging fire.

It was much stronger than any wine the three brothers had ever had before.

"What are these?!"

After drinking a few bowls of wine and eating a sheep until only a skeleton remained, the Ten Prince Duoduo already regarded Li Peiting as one of his own.

"Wine is called burning knives. What's in the bowl is just salt, spices, etc. Does it taste better than mutton?"

"Salt?" The muscles on Dorgon's face twitched slightly, "Do you have salt?"

"Yes! I'm here this time, just to do some business with the princes!"

Although the name has just been passed, Dorgon is still a little skeptical.

"Business? What business?"

"For example, this." Pei Ting tapped the small jar of refined salt with a knife, "And this." He pointed to the empty liquor jar.

"And some spices, cotton cloth, and things like that."

"Say!" Dorgon drew out his saber, pointing the tip of the saber straight at Pei Ting's nose, "Who the hell are you?! What are you doing here in Qing Dynasty?!"

"The knife is good, not worse than the one forged by Longquan. Old Wang, bring me the gift I prepared for the three princes!"

Pei Ting glanced nonchalantly at the sharp saber that almost touched him.

"You say you are a businessman, and you are a descendant of the Li family, and you know our brothers so well. Who are you?"

"The Li family in Liaodong has fallen, and the children are scattered everywhere. We will be dispatched to the far-evil military state. If we don't do Tao Zhugong's work, how can we make a living? Besides, the old king has already called you when he salutes your three brothers. I You are not stupid, of course you know who is Prince Rui and who is Prince Yu."

Pei Ting's words made the Dorgon brothers right.

More than a dozen coated ahas came in carrying dozens of bolts of fine cotton cloth.Two other maids followed cautiously with a huge mirror in their hands.

"This is what I gave to the three princes. Forty pieces of fine cotton cloth of various colors. Each prince has a full-length mirror. In addition," Pei Ting fumbled for a while from the bundle of cloth as if conjuring, and pulled out three handles Long saber, "Three sabers made of high-grade iron and steel. Prince Rui, although your saber is good, but compared with this saber, it belongs to your grandchildren!"

"Then try it!"

Brothers Azig and Duoduo, who were born with a brutal and rude personality, slashed at each other with sabers. Sure enough, a gap the size of a fingernail appeared on the saber of Dorgon's saber just now under the burst of sparks. Obviously this knife is useless. (Of course, the hardness and toughness of a modulated eutectoid high manganese steel can be compared with ordinary swords?)

"Good knife! It really is a precious knife!"

"How about I do business with the three princes for cotton cloth, salt, wine, spices, silk, mirrors, etc.?"

"What about this knife? My brother wants as much as this knife has?!"

Doduo shouted excitedly holding a saber made of iron and steel, like a child getting a beloved toy.

"This is difficult. This knife is a precious knife. Since it is a precious knife, it is not easy to get it. I can only say that I should be more careful." Li Peiting spread his hands in embarrassment.

"Where have you been all these years, sir?" Dorgon ordered the remnant seats to be taken down, and the coated Aha from Duoduo's residence brought up milk tea.

"Guangdong!"

"A good place! It is said that it is warm like spring all year round, and the land of fish and rice is rich in products." The Dorgon brothers' eyes flashed a strange look in tacit understanding.They all remembered what happened to the two white flags when Chongzhen arrived in Gyeonggi in the second year. Hundreds of warriors were escorted from Guangdong to Yanjing and killed with firearms by the Ming army with fine iron guns and firearms.

"Sir, the warriors and slaves under our Liangbai flag have heard that Guangdong's iron smelting is very developed, and the iron produced is extremely high-quality. I don't know if sir has any connections in this regard?"

"I want iron?!" Li Peilin's eyes were full of sly smiles, "This is nothing more than anything else. If the government along the way knows that I sell these things to your brothers, I, the son of a criminal who has been married for three thousand miles, will be It will be cut to pieces!"

Upon hearing this, the three brothers' eyes lit up, "There is a door!" This bastard is asking for a high price!

"Sir, think of a way. Our brothers have heard about the excellent quality of Guangzhou Railway for a long time, and we want to get some to make some utensils."

"As long as Mr. can find Guangzhou Railway for us, you can just say that you want skins, gold and silver, raw gold, and ginseng. We brothers don't even bat an eyelid, just let you set the price!"

In the evening, the people from Fan Yongdou Company and Wang Dengku Company went to the palace to accept the task, to inquire about the situation of those armored swords, guns and artillery, and by the way, they wanted to know about the South China Army, why it was boasted in the mansion newspaper like heavenly soldiers.When entering the palace, the people from the two companies brought the latest news from Yanjing. The towns of the Ming army were rumored about the training strategy of the South China Army, and they brought the Nanman, which all banner owners are very concerned about. A message.

"The armor, knives and guns purchased by Datong Town and Shanxi Town can be resold to the slaves, and the slaves will naturally be sent to the emperor immediately."

However, the price is amazing. Wang Pu added a conscientious [-]% to the price of Nanzhong Army. Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku are also simple and kind people, so naturally they would not add more. They also added [-]% of errand money. .

Now that a Li Peiting from Guangdong fell from the sky, how could this not surprise the brothers?

"Three lords, shall we talk about the previous business first? My cargo ship is moored on the sea outside Shizikou (today's Lushunkou, Dalian). If the three of you are interested, you can order people to inspect and unload the cargo. ?”

Soon, the four of them took Li Peiting to Liaodong's five cargo ships, a total of [-] stones of refined salt, [-] bolts of fine cotton cloth, [-] bolts of silk, [-] catties of spirits, and tens of thousands of catties of various spices. trade.

"We have a lot of silver in the Qing Dynasty. Even if we don't have silver, we have good things such as skins, raw gold, Dongzhu, ginseng, wax wax, etc. If you have these goods, you can just send them. Our brothers have dozens of cattle records and a population of several 10. , These things are consumed in a blink of an eye."

What Dorgon said was right. Salt and cloth have always been in short supply in Liaodong.According to historical records, when the bear paws of Tsarist Russia extended into the Northeast, the supply of salt in the Northeast was in short supply.The common ones on the market are the kind of large-grained salt, not to mention the bitter taste, but also extremely rough and full of impurities.

The fact that money is expensive and things are expensive is a problem that has been troubling him since the old Nurhachi raised his troops to cause chaos in Liaodong. Even after his death, this economic problem has not been solved. In order to alleviate this problem, he can only keep Launch wars outside to obtain supplies.

I have to say that the old slave and his family have always had good luck. The Ming army generals they met soon became timid and bragging. If they encountered a failure, they would enter a vicious circle in terms of economy and materials.

When the Huangtai chicken came to the throne, this crisis reached its peak. In the Liaodong Jiannu jurisdiction, the price of a bucket of rice was 300 taels of silver, a good horse was worth 100 taels of silver, a cow was worth 150 taels of silver, and a python satin was worth [-] taels of silver. [-] taels, one piece of cloth costs nine taels of silver.Faced with such huge profits, it is no wonder that the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants emerged.

But these five ships of supplies emptied the pockets of the three brothers. According to the shipping price of the Shanxi merchants, the combined private wealth of the three brothers was only enough to barely pay half of the price of the goods.

Seeing that so many good things could not be obtained, the three brothers felt a little sad.

"Prince Rui, why did you buy so many items?" Li Peiting deliberately pretended to be confused.

"It's just that some people saw that my brother Bo has a family property, but he was angry. He has been planning to take away our family's livelihood and livelihood! Today, six people were taken away! Buy these things, It's just to reward my subordinates and win people's hearts with kindness."

The fact that Huang Taiji allocated three cattle records from each of the three Dorgon brothers under the two white banners to Manchuria with the red banner and Raoyu Bayle Abatai under the Zhengbai banner has long been known in Shenyang, and Li Peiting is naturally the same. clear.He sneered, "People can be rowed away, but the heart must be kept!"

Duoduo, who had been stripped of three records, grabbed Li Peiting's arm, "How can I keep my heart?! Sir, teach me!"

"For example, the more than 1000 households in these six Niulu public rewards in the name of three people, or ordered people to send them privately, giving gifts of a piece of cloth, two jars of wine, and a few catties of salt. The master will give the servants a little supplement for the family when they leave, and if they encounter difficulties in the future, they can still come to the old master."

After hearing these words, the three of them couldn't help but their eyes lit up. Generally speaking, Niu Lu, who is assigned to others like this, will be raised as a stepmother. When fighting in the front line, rewards and gifts are the least. At this time, the benefits of the old masters It will be on everyone's mind.

"Dudu, Abatai, you two, let me remember that your Twelfth Lord's food is not so delicious, I'm afraid you can eat it, but you won't be able to get it out!" Azige yelled and cursed in a low voice. .

The three of them discussed a few words in Jurchen dialect in low voices, and still led by Dorgon, they handed over to Li Peiting: "Sir, the three of us brothers want the five shipments. However, I hope you will understand me. Now I The three brothers are cash-strapped, and they are about to go to North Korea, so I need you to be considerate of the money, when my fifteenth brother and I return from North Korea, we will take the gold and silver from North Korea to pay for it.”

"When did I say that I only accept money? Dongzhu, ginseng, black fox, Yuanhu, red fox, mink, tiger, leopard, sea otter, green mouse, ground squirrel, all kinds of skins in your hands can be used to offset The price of goods. Prince Rui said just now that North Korea’s goods, so that you can give me the ginseng, brass and other things you obtained in North Korea. I will use spices, good wine, salt and cloth to pay you. Change!"

"Okay! A gentleman, give me a quick whip! My brother will thank you for your kindness."

"Come thousands of miles only for money. When the prince goes out to fight, he can tell his subordinates that the property he gets can be exchanged here for what they want!"

Snapped!Peiting's two hands were patted heavily by Azig and Duoduo, making a crisp sound.

"That `s a deal!"

In the ninth year of Chongzhen and the first day of December in the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, Han Army and the Mongolian ministries who had come for conscripts, totaling 10 people, to conquer North Korea.

As soon as the front-foot brigade left Shenyang, the back-foot Azig began to order people to secretly visit and express their condolences.The necessities of life, such as salt, cloth, and wine, were delivered to the families of the six Niulu, making them like motherless children seeing their long-lost mother.

The family members of the Two White Banners, especially the Niulu population to which the three Dorgon brothers belonged, all proudly showed off their new clothes to the relatives of the other Six Banners, "Look, this is what the masters gave us. Oh! fine muslin!"

The old north wind rolled the snowflakes and fell in the large elm forest beside the Hun River outside Shenyang City. Pei Ting and his party looked at the city wall of Shenyang City, not knowing what it was like.

"Shopkeeper, our goods have been loaded into the car, can we go? If we don't leave, my subordinates are afraid that the road will be difficult when the heavy snow falls."

It is hundreds of miles away from Shenyang to Lushun, and you have to avoid the Qing army conquest of North Korea. Even if you carry the official document issued by Azig who stayed behind in Shenyang, you must be careful!

"Have all the shops in the city settled down?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Pei Ting glanced back at the majestic Shenyang city, "It will be spring again, Dorgon, and I will bring you More goodies!"

Sitting in the carriage holding the cupronickel hand stove, the person shook the carriage regularly, and from time to time a gust of cold wind came in from the gap in the carriage.

"Ye Qi from Nanjing sold armor, knives, guns, gunpowder, and Fulangji to the bandits. I sold cotton cloth, salt, silk, spirits, and spices to Jiannu, and my lord gave the emperor's son a lot of money and food. You have all been replenished, but Don't let us down, you must fight hard!"

Lifting the cotton curtain of the car, looking to the far north, there are even more clouds, and the coming of heavy snow is brewing.

"Huangtai chicken, I came to Liaodong, and I didn't see you, but my former deputy prepared a generous gift for you! You can take it easy!"

A ferocious look slowly appeared on Pei Ting's fair face. (To be continued.)
