I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 15

After listening to Huang Yi's story, the dog knew that Huang Yi asked the leader for his big-eyed friend.

He quietly went to have a look, just happened to see Huang Yi talking and laughing with Huang Dayong's mother and son, and saw Huang Dayong eating meat and drinking soup.

That kind of family atmosphere made him envious, and he felt that the new master with big eyes was too kind.

The child was quick-witted and thought that he should fight for himself, so he kowtowed to ask Huang Yi to take him in.

Manpower is too important, the more the better, Huang Yi can't ask for it, but it seems that he can't make the decision himself!
Huang Yi pondered and said: "This..., I have already ordered two servants, and it would be a bit difficult to ask for more!"

These words were not Huang Yi's evasive words, but Huang Yi found that Hedan Battelle's tribe was relatively poor, and the old family of Hedan Battelle probably didn't have ten servants.

Originally, he offered to send a servant to repay his kindness, but then he had the cheek to ask for another one.

If you want to ask someone again, this is the third one. It's really shameless.

Huang Dayong opened his mouth, he said: "Master, the dog does not belong to Master Hedan Bateer's family, but to Master Geerlen's family. Master Geerlen has five servants!"

"Oh? That's even more difficult. I don't even know who Gerlen is, so how could he send me a servant."

The dog didn't speak, but continued to kowtow.

This child should be older than Huang Dayong, and it will definitely make a big difference to bring him around for a year or two.

Huang Yi remembered that he had some silver and copper coins in his hand, and asked:
"Dayong, can you buy and sell slaves here?"

"Master, you don't need to spend silver or copper coins to buy things here, you just use things in exchange!"

"Can you exchange things for dogs?"

"Sure, I guess the young master Geerlen would like that pair of leather armor?"

How clever Huang Yi was, he immediately realized that Huang Dayong wanted his friend to be taken in, and he clearly told him what could be exchanged.

He wondered: "Really? Is leather armor very valuable here?"

"Well! Not only is it worth money, but it can save lives."

Huang Yi thought of the scene of shooting and killing two knights wearing leather armor, and said with a smile: "Haha, if the leather armor could really save lives, then I would have died long ago, hahaha..."

The two teenagers were confused by Huang Yi's sudden laughter.

Huang Yi didn't explain, pointing to the front and said to the dog: "Come on, you lead the way, let's talk to Geer Leng."

Huang Yi was the savior of the tribal leader and the warrior who killed the two knights. He had both face and heart.

When Geerlen saw Huang Yi's visit, he was briefly surprised and immediately invited Huang Yi to sit down and have a cup of milk tea.

When Huang Dayong told Ge Erleng that Huang Yi was going to exchange a pair of leather armor for the servant Gouer, Geerleng's mouth opened wide.

Huang Yi thought that Ge Erlen was unwilling, but he thought he was making a lot of money, and he was so happy from ear to ear.

Of course the Geerlen family had armor. When they participated in the fights before, Geerlen always wore two layers of armor.

It is no longer possible now, because their tribe has often lost battles in the past two or three years.

Winning battles is doing addition, and the more you fight, the more equipment you will have.

Defeating a battle is definitely a subtraction, and supplies are gradually scarce, and the more you fight, the weaker you are.

Geerlen has two daughters and three sons. The youngest son is 15 years old and can fight on horseback. He longs for a pair of armor the most.

Geer Leng thought that he was good at bow and horse, and his three sons were good at riding and shooting. If they could all be equipped with two layers of armor, even if they couldn't win against Jiannu, they would be able to retreat unscathed.

Therefore, his family lacked life-saving armor, and the more the better.

Exchange a slave for a pair of leather armor, this kind of good thing can't be wished for!

Next, Geer Leng came to Huang Yi's yurt to choose carefully, in a dilemma.

Seeing Ge Erlen's eyes looking at the leather armor, Huang Yi almost waved his hand boldly, asking Ge Erlen to take away the two ugly leather armors.

In fact, Huang Yi did not understand the specific situation.

At this time, the sabers and soldiers on the prairie are fighting endlessly, and the vast majority of herdsmen are getting poorer and poorer, and the poorer they are, the more fighting is a natural law.

Because there is not enough to eat, we must find ways to grab others.

Therefore, the armor is too important. A knight like Gellen wearing leather armor can easily defeat the three knights who are not wearing armor.

If Geerlen wore two layers of leather armor, he might win when shooting against the Jiannu cavalry. After all, the Mongols are better at riding and shooting than Jiannu.

The Mongols have not been able to defeat the slaves in recent years not only because they are scattered and not united, but also because they are too poor, have poor military discipline, and poor equipment. Some Mongolian cavalry have few iron arrows and often shoot with bone arrows.

Jiannu, adhering to the wild boar Pi Nurhachi's first-military thinking, did everything for the development of the army, and trained the team to accumulate capital in the process of supporting wars.

At present, Jiannu's bannermen can basically be equipped with cotton armor and iron armor. Instead of a strong bow shooting directly at close range, the diffuse arrows basically cannot cause damage to Jiannu.

When the two armies are at war, one side cannot kill the opponent with one shot, but the mentality of the opponent immediately collapses when the opponent shoots it accurately. How can this battle be fought?
This is the fundamental reason why the Mongols lost again and again in the war with Jiannu.

According to historical records, the wild boar pinuerhachi's thirteen sets of armor rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. Why didn't they say how many people there were and how big the territory was?This is enough to show how important armor was at that time.

What is a win-win situation?

This time the slave trade is a win-win situation.

Huang Yi was overjoyed to have a 15-year-old boy, and Ge Er felt that he was dreaming when he got a suit of armor and saved a mouth to eat.

Just when Huang Yi asked about the origin of the dog, the whole tribe started talking about it!
Too many Mongolian knights thought that the Han was as stupid as a pig. A young and middle-aged slave could trade at most seven or eight sheep in the market, and four or five sheep would be fine for a skinny Han boy.

A pair of leather armor can't be exchanged for three cows, because this thing has a price and no market, and no Mongolian trades it for a life-saving armor. This thing is kept as an heirloom.

What happened next made Huang Yi dumbfounded.

At that time, more than a dozen knights came, and without exception, they all brought their servants, both men and women, and they all asked to exchange the servants they brought for Huang Yi's only remaining pair of leather armor.

The wisdom of modern people is not given for nothing. Huang Yi immediately understood that the business deal just now was a loss, and he was taken advantage of.

It was not too late to make amends, so he sat on the ground and raised the price, asking for a pair of leather armor in exchange for two young servants.

Facts have proved that leather armor is very attractive, and Huang Yi's asking price is not high. Unfortunately, there are not many Han boys in the tribe, and there are only four of them who are about the same age as Huang Dayong.

There was no choice, because Huang Yi, who was too young, was not available for the time being, and those who were a few years older were strong laborers, and they didn't bring them at all.

In the end, Goushengzi and Wang San, two children who were thinner than Huang Dayong, were accepted by Huang Yi.

The two children do not belong to the same owner, but this does not affect the transaction.

As for which family left the leather armor, Huang Yi didn't need to ask which family was compensated.
