A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The two sides have been in a state of chaos, and the two sides have been in a state of chaos.

Lin Danhan and Nurhaci are sworn enemies, so naturally they are always paying attention to the situation of the Later Jin. Anything that can make the Later Jin suffer is a good thing for Lin Danhan.

Lin Danhan naturally heard about some of Lu Cheng's affairs, which is one of the reasons why Lin Danhan is very happy to meet Lu Cheng.

"I have naturally heard of General Lu's story. I admire General Lu for being able to penetrate deep into the enemy camp and make the Jianzhou Jurchens suffer a great loss. I just don't know what this has to do with General Lu's purpose of coming here?"

"Great Khan, since I was able to go to Hetuala City alone to kill the rebels, I can go again, maybe I can save someone?"

Lin Danhan heard this and immediately sat up straight: "General Lu, are you serious? Can you really help me rescue Zaisai?"

Seeing that the other party was anxious, Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "Lin Danhan, I dare not guarantee to save people. What if the leader Zaisai has been killed by Nurhaci, I can't save him."

"General Lu can rest assured that Nurhaci will not kill Zaisai. He also wants Zaisai to threaten me, or exchange for some cattle, sheep and horses. A living Zaisai is more useful to Nurhaci than a dead Zaisai.

Moreover, Zaisai Zaisai is the most powerful leader among the many tribes of Khalkha. If Nurhaci kills Zaisai, he will become a mortal enemy with the entire Khalkha. He will never do that. Moreover, my people also know that Zaisai is imprisoned there, but they are unable to rescue Zaisai.

If General Lu can help us rescue Zaisai, our Mongolian tribes will definitely remember General Lu's kindness. "

Lu Cheng shook his head: "Khan, gratitude and kindness are all false. Although Lu is confident that he can go to Hetuala City again. But it is not easy to rescue people. If you really want Lu to rescue people, you need the Khan to show some sincerity. "

Hearing this, Lin Danhan immediately sat back: "General Lu, do you want me to pay for it?"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lu Cheng sneered in his heart. When he heard that he had to pay a price, he wanted to retreat, and didn't think about his current situation and his prestige.

This Lin Dan Khan is really petty, without the bearing of a leader, no wonder he was chased by Huang Taiji and fled all the way.

Of course, Lu Cheng remained calm on the surface: "Khan, if Zaisai can be rescued successfully, the Khalkha tribes will definitely support the Khan more, and the entire northern and southern deserts will belong to the Khan. This business is very cost-effective."

Seeing that Lin Dan Khan was still hesitant, Lu Cheng continued: "Khan, in fact, Lu is not asking the Khan to provide any money or property, but just wants to do a business with the Khan and buy some horses and cattle and sheep at a low price. Moreover, we can also trade with glass and soap, how about it?"

"General Lu, are you serious?"

"Of course."

"How many horses does General Lu want, and how much are you willing to pay?"

At this point, Lu Cheng has basically grasped the initiative.

Let's not talk about whether to go to Zaisai first, at least this time the business can suppress the price.

"Three thousand war horses, fifteen taels of silver for each war horse, how about that?"

This quantity and price are of course a bit of nonsense.

If you really buy three thousand good war horses, Lu Cheng can't afford it with his current family background. After all, the daily food consumed by a war horse is equivalent to that of three or four adults.

If a war horse wants to maintain good physical strength and combat effectiveness, it must not only eat grass, but also eat good grains such as soybeans, black beans, and wheat.

Moreover, the equipment of a cavalryman is not a small amount. Bows and arrows, swords and guns, armor, war horse equipment, etc. all cost money.

Moreover, although the horses in Liaodong are cheaper, fifteen taels of silver can only buy some ordinary horses.

Horses that can be used as war horses require at least twenty-five to thirty taels. As for those better horses, fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty taels are normal.

But this is business, you have to ask for a high price and pay it back.

After listening to Lu Cheng's words, Lin Danhan's face changed slightly: "General Lu, are you kidding? 3,000 war horses, even for my Chahar tribe, is not a small number, not to mention that the price set by General Lu is a bit too low, right?"

"Why should the Khan be anxious? Isn't business all about paying back the money? Since you can't take out 3,000 horses, I wonder how many war horses the Khan can take out? As long as the quality of the horses is not a problem, this price is fine.

Good to negotiate. "

"I will sell you 500 horses at most, and the price is 30 taels."

"Five hundred horses are too few. This general has come so far. If he wants to do this kind of small business, he doesn't need to come to the Khan. I believe that he can buy enough horses from those herdsmen. Moreover, this 30 taels is the market price. This general is ready to help the Khan rescue Zaisai, so the Khan is so insincere?"

"At most 800 horses, and the price cannot be less than 28 taels."

"One thousand five hundred horses, the price is 20 taels, how about it? ”

“Nine hundred horses, no more, you have to exchange them for exquisite colored glaze…”

After bargaining for half an hour, the two finally finalized the details of the transaction. One thousand fine war horses were sold to Lu Cheng at the price of 24 taels, and Lu Cheng needed to exchange them with goods of equivalent value.

Two-thirds of them were used to exchange for colored glaze and soap, and the rest were used to exchange for silk, tea, salt and other items.

Lu Cheng pretended to be heartbroken and agreed to this transaction condition, which made Lin Danhan very happy.

In fact, colored glaze and soap were produced by Lu Cheng himself. The raw material of glass is sand, which is not worth much at all. Although the raw material of soap is valuable, the price is not low. Especially the flower soap, which has a profit of dozens of times. In comparison, the cost is not worth much.

Although silk and tea have to be bought from the south, The price of these two things in Haizhouwei and on the grassland is different. Lu Cheng paid Lin Danhan according to the price on the grassland, and he could make a profit in the middle.

As for salt, Lu Cheng quietly built a salt field in the coastal area a few months ago. At present, the salt used in Haizhouwei is all produced by himself.

However, the private salt business is also a profitable business. In the future, it can also be sold to tribes on the grassland, and even to Jiannu.

Fighting does not delay making money. Earning money from the Later Jin, training soldiers to fight the Later Jin, and then robbing the money from the Later Jin is also a virtuous cycle.

After negotiating the horse trade, Lu Cheng talked to Lin Danhan about the cattle and sheep trade and the fur trade.

If Lu Cheng's soap workshop wants to further expand production, this sheep oil is also a very good raw material .

After the deal was concluded, Lin Danhan was very happy and gave Lu Cheng a good warhorse.

It must be said that there are indeed many good horses on the grassland. The warhorse given by Lin Danhan is much better than the one that Lu Cheng bought for 150 taels of silver.

After the deal was concluded, Lin Danhan first selected 300 warhorses from the Chahar tribe as the first batch of goods for the transaction and let Lu Cheng take them away. Of course, Lu Cheng also took out a batch of soap and glass and gave them to the other party.

As for the subsequent warhorses, Lin Danhan needs to select them from other subordinate tribes.

The two parties agreed to transport the goods they traded to the border between Liaodong and the grassland.

After the discussion, Lu Cheng asked Ding Xiu to immediately take 300 cavalrymen to escort 300 warhorses back to Haizhouwei.

When all the warhorses were delivered to After Haizhouwei, Lu Cheng's cavalry could be regarded as the real standard configuration cavalry.

In fact, Lu Cheng's cavalry before could only be regarded as the low-configuration cavalry, and could only fight against the enemy's cavalry with the advantage of numbers.

The real standard configuration cavalry usually has two horses for one person, one warhorse is used to carry military supplies, and the other warhorse is used to carry people.

If it is some heavy cavalry, there will be a situation where one person has three horses.

Before Lu Cheng, the cavalry configuration was at most two people and three horses. Only scouts and special operations battalions can enjoy the configuration of one person and two horses during combat.

Now with these one thousand warhorses, Lu Cheng can basically pull up a cavalry team of one thousand people, and all of them are one person and two horses.

After letting Ding Xiu return, Lu Cheng has initially achieved the purpose of this trip.

However, Lu Cheng did not return to Liaodong, but continued to lead the other two hundred cavalrymen to the northeast.

Lin Danhan is obviously unreliable, and Lu Cheng is going to find a few more grassland tribes to discuss business.

And Lu Cheng's next target is the Khalkha tribe.

If the Khalkha tribe is also willing to show enough sincerity, Lu Cheng will definitely be willing to take his special forces team to rescue their Zaisai.
