Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Fu Sheng rode on his horse and looked down at the negotiators sent by the caravan.He said uncompromisingly: "Let your caravan put down all their weapons, and we promise not to hurt them. All goods and money will be left behind, one horse for every three of you, and all food will be left for you. There can be no more conditions."

"General! How can this work?" The negotiator immediately exclaimed, "Our shopkeeper said that we hope to form a good relationship with the general. Later, we will give you 5000 taels of silver and two jars of wine to reward your army. Is there another important gift to...?"

"Zhenyuan City!" Fu Sheng added for the negotiator with a teasing smile.

"Yes! Send it to Zhenyuan City. Moreover, we have business documents. Both the General Wu of Ningyuan and Eunuch Gao, the supervisor of the army, have friendship with our Cao family. I hope the general will hold his hand high. Otherwise, there will always be damage when swords and guns are facing each other. !"

"Hold your hands high! We have already held your hands high!" Fu Sheng deliberately pretended to be confused, "It's not that your lives have been spared, so what is it if you don't hold your hands high?"

"General, don't tease us. Our Cao family is very sincere." The negotiator also became angry when he spoke.To be honest, what the caravans traveling outside the customs fear most is the horse bandits who start fighting without saying a word. Such bandits often only fight with their lives.However, what the merchants pursue is to make money through harmony. As long as there is a chance, they still hope to solve it through negotiation. The problems that can be solved with money are not big problems.

The same is true for the army in front of them.Although their demands were excessive, they did not kill them all, and agreed to negotiate, which gave Cao's caravan a glimmer of illusion.They fantasize: This is an army of "wild food", as long as they are fed enough, they will still be able to negotiate a good amount in the future.

So the negotiator suppressed his anger.Said: "The general will just say the number, as long as it is not too much, our Cao family can be satisfied."

"Didn't you say it? Leave the goods and money behind. Do you think I'm joking? I'm not in business. I don't know how to bargain. I'll give you a chance to talk. It's because you are Han people. I don't want to Make more murders. Go back quickly! I will give you some time to open the car formation and put down your weapons, otherwise, we will really be rude." Fu Sheng said impatiently.

"General! Be a man and stay on the line..."

"Who the hell wants you, a businessman, to stay on the front line?" Fu Sheng finally couldn't help but cursed. "I told you, we are from Zhenyuan City, and if we dare to put you all back, are we afraid that something will happen to you? You must have lost your head! Don't talk about it, what's your best plan in the future. We Zhenyuan City will continue .But you pass this level first! As long as the time is up, if you still dare to resist. When you get to the underworld, don't blame us for killing you. Get out!"

Seeing that the negotiations have reached an impasse.The negotiator stopped talking nonsense, and he had to go back and tell the shopkeeper of the caravan to come up with another countermeasure.

However, the negotiator is also aware of the countermeasures the shopkeeper will come up with.To do business on the grassland, it is impossible to lay down your arms and let others slaughter you unless you have to.

But the caravans who have the courage to do business on the grassland are not good at it.If you encounter arrogant and unreasonable horse bandits, the most powerful negotiating method is to give them a severe blow.As long as you kill the horse bandit to a certain extent and show your muscles, many conditions can be easily negotiated.

On the contrary, the Mongolian tribes on the grasslands had a better deal with the Manchu Qing regime.In order to maintain the trade in the customs, they will protect the caravan, and even help the caravan to encircle the horse bandits.

As for the officers and soldiers?The high-level civil and military officers of the officers and soldiers have long been bought by the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants, and they will not do the thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.As for the small group of "wild food" officers and soldiers, they are no different from horse bandits.Therefore, although the Cao family caravan has a small number of people, the weapons in their hands are all bought from the Datong army.So as long as the car formation is defended, if the more than 500 officers and soldiers in this area do not suffer heavy casualties, they will definitely not be able to break through the car formation.

So the negotiator walked towards his car formation full of confidence.Suddenly, he saw three cannons launched from the cavalry of the official army, and the gunners of the official army were making preparations before firing.So the negotiator's pupils dilated immediately.

……

Looking at the dozens of burning carts in front of him, the shopkeeper of the Cao family wanted to cry but had no tears.The behavior of this officer army was simply too barbaric.Robbery is robbery!However, except for the gold and silver, light goods, and indestructible goods such as armor and iron materials, the other goods were all burned, leaving nothing for the caravan at all.

The only good thing is that when he learned that the official army had artillery, the caravan master made a timely decision to surrender.And this official army can be regarded as trustworthy, they didn't hurt human life, they just left the basic materials that can allow the caravan members to survive on the grassland, and then rode away.

"Don't clean it up! Don't clean it up again!" Hadanbaatar vigorously kicked a Mongolian herdsman carrying a heavy package to the ground, and then he shouted in Mongolian, "Hurry up! Take the horses and animals with you." Come on, and nothing else. Burn the tents at once."

Dozens of Runing Army soldiers gathered more than 200 Mongolian herdsmen in this small tribe with fists and kicks, and then poured oil on the tent and set it on fire.Seeing that their belongings were burned, many Mongolian herdsmen wept sadly.

"Why are you crying? Ladies and children, hurry up and get in the car, and the man will be on the same horse. Whoever delays, I will throw him on this grassland and let him be picked up by wolves." Hardan Bateer, who got on the horse, was immediately shocked. roared.

The Mongolian herdsmen immediately speeded up their actions submissively.The law of survival on the grassland is also very simple, that is, the strong prey on the weak, so all the defeated people often become slaves of the winner.Therefore, although these Mongolian herdsmen were a little sad because their homes were destroyed, they couldn't bear any resistance.

Then Hardan Bateer immediately used the magic face-changing technique, and his aloof face instantly changed into a flattering smile.He drove his horse to Wu Qi, who was leading the team, and told him, "My lord! The harvest this time was good, and I just copied two small tribes. But it would be a pity to burn all those things. Can you give them to me in the future?" Keep the kids a little longer?"

Wu Qi was also originally Wu Shigong's Mongolian guard, and he is now the deputy head of the Runing Army.Wu Qi looked at the more than 100 newly recruited Mongolian soldiers behind Hadanbaatar, seeing their eyes were reluctant to part, so he shouted loudly: "I said, old man, why are your people so useless?" Promise? Follow our master, it's not easy to eat delicious food, why do you need these junk?"

"But... But these are rags to you, but they are treasures to my children." Hadan Battelle still smiled flatteringly.

"What's yours and mine? We are all master's people, and we will not treat anyone badly. This time we are more than 200 miles away from the city. If we carry so many things, we must not go fast. We should hurry up." Join Commander Fu who is chasing the caravan, and go back to the city earlier!" Wu Qi said.

"Eh!"

"Actually, you still don't understand how good it is to join the Runing Army. Do you want anything? If you can please the master and son, and the whole family can move to the pass to enjoy the blessings, let me tell you, good days are yet to come."

"Oh? What about Mr. Wu?"

"Go to Commander Fu's place quickly, or don't talk while walking. Don't say I didn't make it easier for you, and let those Mongolian bastards pick women first, but the rules of our Runing Army can't force women, want women I am willing. But how to make those Mongolian women willing, then don’t let me teach you!”

"Understand! Understood! I'll tell the children later."

……

After Zhenyuan City was built, the first people to vote were a few small tribes in Mongolia. They couldn't survive the severe cold and they heard that Zhenyuan City had released grain to raise people and defected here.Afterwards, the Mongolian tribes who got the food began to spread the word, one spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and then it was logical.

So now, together with the active extermination of the small tribes near Zhenyuan City, the Runing Army has recruited more than 3000 Mongolian herdsmen, and has harvested a large number of horses, cattle and sheep.And the Runing Army also recruited more than 200 soldiers from among these Mongolian herdsmen, and handed them all over to Hadan Bateer to command.

Of course, these new Mongolian soldiers have also received training from the Runing Army. Among them, the soldiers who performed well and learned Chinese quickly were even promoted to small leaders, granted Chinese status, and enjoyed the same treatment as the Runing Army .

Because when the Runing Army was founded, there were a lot of Mongolian guards, so the problem of discrimination in the Runing Army was not very prominent.In addition, the "Chinese Theory" formulated by Zhang Zhiheng has been widely disseminated in the Runing Army, which has resulted in the rapid integration of people of all ethnic groups.

Moreover, Hadanbaatar and the others are secretly preaching that their master——Wu Shigong is a nobleman with the blood of the golden family, so until now, the Mongolian herdsmen who have taken refuge basically have no resistance and have gradually merged. It has become a big tribe, and this tribe is headed by Wu Shigong who is far away in Runing.

Except for the Mongolians who served as soldiers, people from other Mongolian tribes farmed and grazed in peace near Zhenyuan City.It's not that no one fled, but the vast majority of Mongolians lived here with peace of mind because of the food supply in Zhenyuan City.After all, no matter how romantic the life of a prairie eagle pursuing freedom is, it cannot survive the real herding life of hunger and cold!
