I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 51

People have instincts.

For example, suddenly an arrow is shot head-on, a knife is slashed, the head is turned to hide, and the arm is swung to block, all of which are instinctive reactions.

Huang Yi's stab-proof clothing is too soft, and it hurts to block anything with his arms, and his bones may be broken when he is hit hard.

Equipped with an iron arm, you can maximize your instincts.

Huang Yi also wore cotton armor. This cotton armor was not taken from the corpse, but a brand new pair of cotton armor. Xiaohong and Xiaocui found it in the Kachagute yurt.

It was getting colder and colder.

Although now Huang Yi is physically strong and more resistant to cold.

However, stab-proof underwear, jackets, sheepskin double breasts, and bulletproof vests are not enough to withstand the severe cold of minus ten degrees.

After putting on the cotton armor on the outside, not only is it not cold anymore, but no one can tell that Huang Yi does not belong to this era.

Because Huang Yi's hair has grown enough to be rolled up into a bun.

Of course, Huang Yi doesn't know how to tie his hair in a bun at all, and Xiaohong and Xiaocui are all here to serve him.

Out of the mouth is a barbaric place, well-equipped, it is necessary to make it difficult for others to mess with at a glance.

Anyway, Huang Yi took a few people for a stroll, but he didn't see anyone coming to provoke him.

But all Han people who can come to do business outside the mouth are not idle people.

Huang Yi, the eight traitorous Shanxi merchants at the end of the Ming Dynasty, can't remember everything. He only remembers Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, and Jin Liangyu.

So he saw that the shops of the Fan family, Wang family, and Jin family did not go in to discuss business, but only went in when he saw the sign of the Li family shop, because none of the eight traitors in memory were named Li.

The cattle, sheep, horses, and leather goods of the entire tribe are all negotiated by Hedan Bateer for delivery and barter, and it is neither necessary nor Huang Yi's turn to worry about it.

Huang Yi's plan was to spend gold and silver to buy some firearms and food, and find buyers for the seven heads of slaves and forty heads of Tartars.

He sighed in his heart that he didn't have the status of an official of the Ming Dynasty or a low-level military officer.

Otherwise, these heads can be promoted to three levels in a row, and the real job can definitely be promoted to two levels.

The feudal dynasty is not comparable to the later generations.

If you want to develop without an official background, it is difficult to move forward.

"The magistrate who ransacked his home, the county magistrate who exterminated his family." It is by no means sensational.

Having money, territory, and population, without official background, and without force as a guarantee, that is the way to die.

Therefore, Huang Yi was still thinking about how to get an official position in the Ming court while seeking military power.

To sell the head of Jian slave is an attempt.

In the future, we will definitely have to rob land, people, and food, and we will definitely fight with them when we encounter Jian slaves.

There will be many heads of Tartars and Jiannu.

With Huang Yi's level of ancient prose, it is absolutely impossible to pass the imperial examination to become an official, and he can only seek military positions by beheading.

Even if it is mixed with a guard army, a hundred or a thousand households can accept it.

In the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants were noble and the military inferior, and the military generals had to kneel down and call themselves inferior officials when they saw civil officials of the same rank or even lower ranks.

However, extremes lead to opposites. At the end of the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, military generals killed civil servants like killing chickens.

Therefore, as long as Huang Yi has an official, he doesn't mind whether it is a civil servant or a military general. If he can not be castrated, he can also consider giving it to an eunuch.

well!Huang Yi needs military force, power, financial resources, material resources, and manpower to gain a foothold, and it is inconvenient not to have an official status.

As long as there is a relatively safe site where he can gain a foothold, Huang Yi can open Golden Finger to make steel.

During the Ming Dynasty, the smelting technology of the Han people was world-leading, but limited by the furnace temperature, they could not get fully melted molten steel, which was all semi-crystalline, so the quality of steel could not be greatly improved.

Huang Yi knows the wind temperature technology, this golden finger can break through the bottleneck of the maximum temperature of the steel furnace once it is turned on.

Then coke smelting was adopted to reduce the sulfur content in pig iron, and the quality of steel was improved immediately. The production of relatively advanced flintlock guns and cast steel guns was the first step.

Should I be loyal to an official of the Ming Dynasty?

Just a joke, Huang Yi is a modern man, truly "thousands of households in dung".

Loyalty to the country and the nation is possible, but how can it be possible to be loyal to one family?
The world!The virtuous live there.

Forehead!This is to tease you.

Otherwise, how to explain that the cruel, barbaric and ignorant Manqing won the Han people's thousands of miles of land at their fingertips?

Could it be that the "virtue" of the chiefs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty inspired people all over the world?
Huang Yi's understanding is that the one with the biggest fist wins the world!Those who can kill and dare to kill win the world!

The world is created by killing, not blowing out!

Therefore, he must try to have the strongest force.

In his previous life, Huang Yi had talked about many business deals, but he really didn't know how to open his mouth when he came to Daming.

If you don’t understand, just don’t make a fool of yourself, just go straight!
As soon as he entered the door of Li's shop, he yelled loudly that he wanted to see the manager, saying that he had a huge deal to discuss.

The six members of Huang Yi's party had all killed or beheaded people, and their murderous intent was so strong that the men didn't dare to neglect them, so they ran to the back room in a hurry.

Not long after, a 40-year-old steward with a few strands of long beard came out and asked, "This strong man has invited me. My surname is Li. I wonder what a big deal it is?"

Huang Yi took out a waist badge of a man in armor with a gold inlaid white flag and handed it to the steward who claimed to be surnamed Li, and asked:
"Does your family dare to take Jianu's head?"

Collusion between government and businessmen runs through the entire history of civilization, and it is the same in [-]. The collusion between government and businessmen in the last Ming Dynasty is even more extreme!
Too many merchants are actually the spokespersons of officials, nobles, relatives of the emperor, and eunuchs.

How can a merchant who runs away these days not know what the head of Jiannu means?
Huang Yi already knew that it was the second year of Chongzhen. In his memory, the first time Jiannu entered the bandits was at the end of the year. He guessed that the Jurchens, who were short of food, should have dispatched troops after the autumn harvest.

At this time, Jiannu hadn't entered the customs yet, maybe he had entered the customs, and the news had not yet reached Guihua City.

Huduntu, that is, Lin Danhan, is not dead, and Guihua City is completely within his sphere of influence.

Lin Danhan originally exchanged the heads of Jiannu for rewards from the Ming court, and every year he blackmailed Daming for a lot of cloth and food.

Merchants are only interested in profit, and the big merchants in the feudal dynasty all have umbrellas without exception. Nine out of ten merchants who can do business outside the mouth have an interest relationship with the generals of the frontier army.

The heads of Jiannu and Tartars can not only be exchanged for silver rewards, but also serve as a promotion ladder for civil servants and generals.

How can merchants not buy when they find that there is a source of goods?

If this one is too timid to do head business, then take a look at the next one.

Facts have proved that the courage to do business outside the Great Wall is not small. Li Guanshi took the copper waist plate and took a closer look.

He knew that Jiannu's military discipline was harsh, and he knew that the Eight Banners soldiers' waist badges must be carried with them, and losing them was a felony.

Since the heavily armed man in front of him has Jiannu's badge in his hand, the head should not be fake.

He immediately put on a smile and invited Huang Yi to talk in the inner room.
