Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 736

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The nobles of the Alda tribe in Guihua City have become accustomed to using the exquisite utensils of Daming, and even imitating the living habits of Daming.

The business route is cut off, and Guihua City will not have much impact. There are a lot of necessary supplies, but for the nobles of the Altan Department, those things that are not necessary are the most needed. .

Inside and outside the city of Guihua, there are nearly 20 Han Chinese under the jurisdiction of the Alda Department, from all walks of life in agriculture, industry, commerce and industry. After the teams of the six big firms in front were robbed, at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, buyers came to Guihua City. Buy various items, and then promise that when the goods are shipped out by various companies, the Ministry of Answers will send cavalry escorts to ensure that there will be no problems.

This time, the previous merchants who united with each other shrank back. They suffered heavy losses when they were robbed that time. Moreover, they knew that the cavalry of the Anda Department had snatched the goods back, but they didn't want to come back.

But the money is touching, and the buyers from Guihua City paid a high enough price, Jinhe Trading Company and other big trading houses moved their minds, and began to prepare the goods and prepare to go out of the fortress.

The twelfth lunar month is approaching the New Year's Eve, and the warehouses of all commercial firms are fully stocked with goods. In addition to the high price offered by Guihua City, Jinhe Commercial Firm can make a profit even if it buys from other stores, and the goods will be ready soon.

This time the momentum was even bigger than last time. The Yiying convoy left Daming at Shahukou in the middle of the twelfth lunar month and went to the north. Guihua City also had the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival. The festival meant carnival for Mongolians. Without the cooperation of various spirits and corresponding luxury goods, it would be much inferior.

The buyers have been urging, and the business has also sped up its actions. This time, the Tartars really sent a team of thousands of people to escort, and the relationship between Jinhe Trading, Datong Youwei and Datong Town is also good. The team was actually escorted by the cavalry of the Ming army for half a day.

This distance is far enough from the side wall of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the Ming army cavalry escorting the caravan had already seen the Tartar cavalry on the opposite side, and the two sides had no contact. It will definitely be very safe. If there are horse thieves on the grassland that even Qianqi doesn't care about, then they are not horse thieves.

On the other hand, when the twelfth lunar month was approaching, various goods were in short supply and could be sold at a good price. At Yanghekou, east of Datong Town, there were also caravans leaving the customs, trying to try their luck.

However, the caravan was not lucky. Horse thieves were encountered more than two hundred miles away from Guihua City. The goods were looted, but no lives were injured.

The caravan is not a newcomer, even the people in Guihua City know that this caravan may be the property of a certain general or official in Datong Town, and they have come to Guihua City quite a few times. When it comes to complaints, there are always nobles from the Ministry of Defense who have noticed that the horse thief activities on the grassland have just been suppressed, and many horse thieves have been killed, but the most rampant group that was active before seems to have nothing to do.

Judging from the way this caravan was robbed, it looks like what the gang of horse thieves said. They had been operating in the area between Guihua City and Datong Youwei, but they didn't expect to go to the east, and it was far away from Guihua City. They were so close, they couldn't be tolerated, and a team of one thousand people was dispatched to search immediately.

**************
All the soldiers of the Tartars were very interested in catching the horse thieves. Among other things, the reward promised by the Great Khan was that whoever wiped out the horse thieves would own all the property and livestock they captured, and they didn’t have to hand them over. The commercial firms of Chenghe and Daming also offered rewards, which were extremely generous.

It is very easy to calculate this account, as long as this gang of horse thieves is eliminated, not to mention that they will be famous and promoted in the Ida Ministry, and the property captured can be inexhaustible for several lifetimes.

And no matter how fierce the horse thief is, it's just a horse thief. Could it be that it can be compared to the elite of the Aida Department on the grassland, as long as it is caught, it will be sent to everyone's door.

Although everyone is keen on it, only those who are related to the Great Khan can do what is considered to be a good job. In Guihua City, San Niangzi has the most face. At that moment, everyone was envious, but they dared not say anything.

The Spring Festival is less than 20 days away, and the Alda tribe inside and outside Guihua City are used to celebrating the festival, but the cavalry who went out of the city to suppress thieves were very excited.

"Everyone, go and come back quickly. We know that it's been almost five days since the news came out. It's our luck to catch up. If we can't catch up, let's hurry back and drink and eat meat!!"

Before leaving, the captain said this to his subordinates. The group embarked on the tracking road with ease. The caravan also had a fellow to follow and lead the way. After all, the place that was robbed was only halfway, and there were no special landmarks. Category.

There are foothills in the south and west of Guihua City, but in the east, it is a vast grassland. However, in winter, it is white and there is no greenery.

After walking for three days, the man led the Tartar cavalry to a nest. The "nest" on the grassland generally refers to the land surrounded by hills, and there is a freshwater lake there.

This kind of place is the settlement of small tribes in the grassland in winter. It can prevent wind and snow, and has a source of water that can be taken. It is the same as the cognition. When I walked here, I saw a small tribe stationed there.

After sleeping in the open for three days, the thousand-man team sent by the Anda Ministry also needs to be repaired, and it is necessary to rely on it. According to the customs on the grassland, if the tribe has no strength, it is possible to take advantage of the situation and wash him.

However, the first spies went over to check and found that there were thousands of horses outside the tribe, and there were also a lot of other livestock. With such a scale, the number of young and strong men inside would probably not be less than five hundred. Fat meat is certainly a piece of fat. meat, but if I eat it rashly, I am afraid that I will also suffer serious damage.

Now San Niangzi cherishes the power of her subordinates very much, and she hastily compromised it. I am afraid that the crime is not small. Now that she has made up her mind not to do anything, then naturally everything must be done according to the rules.

For example, send someone over to say hello first, and then see if the other party intends to entertain. If not, then stay away from it. On the grassland, the name of the monk Gedu Gulen Khan of the Alta Ministry was announced. No one dares not to entertain.

This small tribe also has watchers, and when they saw people coming from here, they made precautions early, and when they came to say hello, the reply was given quickly.

Hospitality is fine, but you can't enter the tribe. You will set up a bonfire outside, set up a pot and stove to cook and entertain, and don't think about other things.

The grassland is a lawless place. Tribes, big and small, are afraid of being annexed by each other. They are very wary of each other. It is actually quite good to be able to give such a reply. Doing so is more likely not to be hospitable, but to be scrupled. Lenhan and Alta are very famous.

A large pot was set up on the edge of the nest, with hay as fuel, clean ice and snow turned into water and boiled, the sheep were slaughtered and skinned, and then thrown into the pot, the fragrance permeated after a while.

Marching and tracking, naturally there will not be any good meals to eat. Now there is hot mutton and soup. The cavalry of the Tartar thousand-man team all relaxed and dismounted in this open space. After all, aquatic plants are more prosperous than other places. Mongolian horses have this advantage. They can dig through the ice and snow to find grass to eat. Letting them go is also for them to repair.

The mutton was cooked, and the cavalrymen of the Anda Ministry brought their own salt, and the captain of a thousand men even had pepper in his hand, so it was naturally delicious and sweet.

"Go and ask over there, if there is any wine, we can give money or salt!"

Sometimes on the grasslands, this salt is more useful. Any Mongolian tribe always has kumiss. Now that they have started entertaining and the sheep have been killed, it will not be a pity for this kumiss. Someone said a few words in the past, Over there, bags of wine were brought out.

There was wine and meat, and everyone was very comfortable, but they didn't know where the guy who led the way went, maybe he got into someone's tent, and no one paid attention to it.

"One more day of chasing, let's go back, and when we go back, the Han people who are as good as fire are good at wine, not much better than this sour one!!"

"There are so many good things in the Ming Dynasty. The wine is ten thousand times better than ours, and the women are also whiter and tenderer than ours. Those in Guihua City, tsk tsk."

"It's a pity that there is a collegial meeting, otherwise we would also rush into Daming, and we will have whatever we want!!"

"It's not that the Wanhu who walked to the east last year was killed by Da Ming for more than 1 riders, and the soldiers and horses in the south have also become stronger, so it's not easy to fight!!"

"It's not that good-for-nothing Najit, who is not under the command of the Great Khan, but is with those soft bastards in Horqin. The original wolf will also become a sheep. If Da Ming has such abilities, why does the Ming army in Datong never come here?" Dare to go north? It is said that this time the Great Khan asked the Ming army in the south to withdraw. If we don’t withdraw, we will start going south next year.”

The last person to speak was the Commander-in-Chief. He was in a high position, and his status was obviously different, so he knew more about the inside story. When he said this, everyone below became excited.

". Just now I saw that some men in this tribe are very decent. Why don't you persuade them to go back with us, and the master will be happy when the time comes."

"It's a bit strange to say. In the past, there were always children who came out to watch the fun, and women helped clean up. Why didn't this small tribe have any?"

Having said that, the drunken and extremely relaxed people were terrified. They looked around, but found that the people of this small tribe had disappeared.

It's not that I didn't find out that in the tribe, on the hills of Caowozi, the "herdsmen" of this tribe are all riding in line, holding swords and spears in their hands, bows and arrows, and looking at the thousand-man team coldly.

"Kill!! Don't let one go!!"

Ma Sanbiao waved the big knife in his hand, and gave the order with a roar.
