Blood from Daming

Chapter 89 Trade
Xue Yun, Eunuch Zhang, the supervisor of the army, and the governor of Datong Zhao finally reached a secret agreement to jointly develop the Datong Free Economic and Trade Zone. Army Zhang Gonggong, Datong Zhao Zhifu, and Datong government officials are divided in a ratio of [-]. Xue Yun can have a certain right to trade freely to subsidize the army's expenses and pay for the head of the Tartars.

Not long after, the Datong government announced a notice to adjust the taxes on transit caravans, and privately allowed businessmen to trade in the low-tax trade zone designated by the government at the left and right sides of Datong. A free economic and trade zone that later replaced Zhangjiakou as the largest free economic and trade zone in Ming Dynasty was located in Datong. It's off to a good start.

Wu Keshan of the Horqin tribe of Mongolia robbed Datong Mansion and robbed the large caravans of Xuanfu Zhangjiakou, which shocked Xuanda officialdom, Ming Dynasty capital, Zhili Nanjing Yingtian Mansion and even Jianzhou Khan Nurhachi. He even pissed on Fan Wencheng's head, and Fan Wencheng knelt in front of Nurhachi's big golden tent with urine all over his face, kowtowing and daring not to let out a breath.

Nurhachi's anger subsided and he hurried to look for the jade chamber pot. Fan Wencheng saw that the master liked to wipe the urine of the jade chamber pot with his own clothes, and then handed the clean jade chamber pot to Nurhachi. Nurhachi saw that it was intact. Put it next to the couch and say to Fan Wencheng: "You are the center of me, but whoever you recommend is Ning Wan me, you say he is so capable, he is almost going to the sky, and now millions of dollars are in vain. The key is how to get through this winter without things.”

Fan Wencheng said sadly: "It's all slaves who have blind eyes and see people's ignorance. They misused Ning Wan, a mediocre person, and failed to share the worries of Da Khan. Instead, he missed the important event of Da Khan." Howling there.

Nurhachi: "What do you think, Mr. Huang Taiji?" Nurhachi's anger subsided and he returned to his appearance as a respectful and virtuous corporal.

Fan Wencheng was very moved when he saw that his master was kind and friendly to him again: "Sibeile's soldiers are exhausted and the generals are few, Datong is approaching winter, I hope King Khan will make a decision."

Nurhachi: "This king said that the old man used the army privately, which caused heavy losses to my Dajin. You see how to deal with the aftermath."

Fan Wencheng had a burst of ventriloquist. Back then, Huang Taiji was very popular in Datong. You turned a blind eye and closed your eyes. Now that something happened, you just want to find someone to take the blame. Participation is wonderful: "Sibeiler still needs a lot of experience, because it is also the blood of young people who are angry when their lover is taken away."

Nurhaci: "Wu Keshan of the Horqin tribe looted and captured a large amount of my belongings. In vain I have always treated him well. I vowed to kill him to vent my anger and wipe out the Horqin tribe. Come with me to the Golden Tent to gather troops from all banners to attack Horqin."

Fan Wencheng: "The Great Khan is approaching winter now, so it is not suitable to send troops. Besides, when Wu Keshan in Horqin robbed the property, he might not know that it belonged to the Great Khan. Should we write a letter to blame him and ask him to return the property to us? That's it for Daikin." Fan Wencheng wanted to wait until the winter.

Nurhachi: "That's right, Mr. Hurry up and write a letter, asking Wu Keshan to return the property to our Daikin, and I will not investigate his crimes." Fan Wencheng was speechless, the wolf ate the meat in his mouth and vomited Come out, let him write a letter first to fool around.

Nurhachi: "After Wu Keshan returned the belongings to our Dajin, he asked Huang Taiji to escort them back. Next year, I will send a large army to destroy Datong City in one fell swoop, and capture Xue Yun alive to avenge my two sons and the dead Dajin warriors. Datong City There is no need to keep it anymore, and the knife is not allowed to be sealed until the person is killed." Nurha's red eyes were fierce, like a very hungry beast howling.

The governor, governor and merchants of the Xuan Mansion hated the people of Datong, Xue Yun, and Wu Keshan to death, and immediately filed a letter to the court accusing Xue Yun of conniving with Mongolia and Jianzhou iron cavalry for corrupting the territory of the Ming Dynasty, causing thousands of deaths and injuries in Datong Mansion The husband of the people, with tens of thousands of property and material enemies, strongly demanded that Xue Yun be dealt with. Xuanfu, Beijing, and various places in the Ming Dynasty wrote to the imperial court to ask Xue Yun to be responsible for the dead Ming caravan.

Officials at all levels in Datong also wrote a letter to defend and accuse the governor, governor, and general of the Xuanfu. The Datong military incident lasted for more than four months. Regardless of the life and death of the people under the system, they wantonly smuggled and colluded with the Tartars, communicated with foreign countries, betrayed the imperial court and demanded that the imperial court severely punish criminal officials at all levels such as the governor, governor, and general of the Xuanfu.

Datong and Xuanfu started a verbal lawsuit, and there was a lot of trouble. Some bullshit on both sides was exposed. The most embarrassing thing was that the five thousand cavalry cavalry in Xuanfu ran away without farting when they encountered Mongolian cavalry. They stomped on each other and died hundreds of times, which made the civil and military officials of the court speechless for a while. Emperor Tianqi ordered a thorough investigation. Mutual slander on both sides gradually cooled down.

Just when the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty proposed to recall Xue Yun and send another military attache to take over the post of Datong General Soldier, the Chahar Lindan Khan led [-] Mongolian cavalry and came straight to Datong. The oil in the pot boiled, and the surface became very strange and complicated. The call to replace Xue Yun within the imperial court suddenly stopped.

Xue Yun has been getting bad news recently, and he thought he was going to pack up and leave, but he didn't expect that Chahar Lindan Khan saved him so that he could continue to sit in the No. [-] chair in Datong Mansion, but Chahar Lindan Khan He is not a good person. This time Datong is not dead, I am afraid that his skin will be peeled off. Recently, Datong officials such as Zhang Gonggong and Datong prefect who have been very aggressive are all gone. If you are an official in Datong, you don’t have to When Mongolian and Jianzhou Tartars enter the city, they are not sure when they will belch.

But there is also good news. Mr. Wang and Shopkeeper Cheng who left Datong City to go back to Beijing came back with their goods. This time the scale was much larger than last time. The two talked about: Last time I took Jiang's family to sell goods back and forth and made tens of thousands of taels of silver. Mr. Wang lamented that the long-distance sales trip made almost all the money he had in his previous life. Friends joined in, and the merchants were more happy when they saw that Mr. Wang and shopkeeper Cheng had made money last time when they went to sell the goods. They took the risk of entering Datong again with a total of [-] silver goods.

Xue Yun asked Mr. Wang if he needed any help. Mr. Wang said that he had already sold it to Patriarch Jiang. Patriarch Jiang had already prepared the rare furs, raw hides of cattle and sheep, all kinds of livestock and some females for breeding. For cattle and horses, it is estimated that Mr. Wang and shopkeeper Cheng will earn tens of thousands of silver in this transaction. When Mr. Wang and the others left, Xue Yun hoped that they would go back earlier, because Chahar Lindan Khan led the One hundred thousand Mongolian iron cavalry is about to arrive in Datong. Mr. Wang, shopkeeper Cheng and the others quickly thanked him and left quickly.

Xue Yun went back to the inner room and asked Ao Lan and Lian Zi about the recent cargo trafficking in Datong. Ao Lan said: "According to the information provided by Diving Guards, there are mainly several batches of goods entering the capital and Beizhili, and the transaction volume has already reached hundreds of dollars. Ten thousand, the Datong government has received 6 taels of silver from both sides in taxes, and Datong’s armaments and civilian use have already replenished a lot, and several batches of goods have arrived in the past few days, and there is news at home that our own caravan will arrive in the next few days.” Lianzi handed Xue Yun a signed paper.

Ao Lan: "The main government-controlled military supplies salt, iron, copper, gunpowder, weapons, etc., as well as out-of-mouth horse transactions are operated by the government's price difference. Among them, our Xue family can share 2 taels of profit, and the Xue family manages it independently. The income is also more than 2 taels."

Xue Yun: "Well, you two have done a good job, I will make up for you tonight, and see if there are any good goods to prepare for the caravan at home, and then let them go back earlier, Datong is not a safe place .”

The girls Ao Lan and Lian Zi twisted Xue Yun back and forth, Xue Yun said: "Didn't I say to accompany you two at night, I can't wait now."

Ao Lan and Lian Zi held their mouths together and said, "When your Mongolian wife comes back tonight, we two sisters only have leftovers to eat."

Xue Yun: "You think I'm eating leftovers, and today I'll let you eat this whole banquet, I'm afraid I'll kill you two goblins."

It was almost dark when Ha Rizhula came back, Xue Yun, Ao Lan, and Lian Zi had just slipped out of the inner room and sat in the secretary's room in the inner hall. Harijula: "You don't look very good today. Is there anything bothering you?"

Harijula: "Brother sent Bayar to complain that we deliberately let him rob Jianzhou Great Khan Nurhachi's caravan belongings. Now Horqin has offended the old Khan of Jianzhou. Send it back."

Xue Yun: "Does your brother have a brain problem? The one from Datong to Zhangjiakou was not sold to the old pigskin Nurhachi in Jianzhou. Don't tell me he doesn't know. Now everyone has robbed it and eaten it. People say If you just return it obediently, then you shouldn’t come out and be a robber.”

Harijula: "My brother is not very strong, but my brother wants to take Bumbutai back first, and then return some property to see if we can ease the relationship with King Khan Nurhachi and Huang Taiji."

Xue Yun: "Everyone outside knows that Bumbutai is already my woman. Now it's one thing to send it back to Huang Taiji to accept it, and where will I put my face?"

Harijula ​​said with some resentment: "Your sister doesn't have that kind of relationship with you. What will you do if you ruin her reputation and stay here in the future? The key is that she doesn't like you very much, and she gets bored when you are mentioned."
