My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 174 Whispering

Jia Yu stood up, looked at Qinggertai and said leisurely: "If the negotiation fails, I will personally request our Majesty to lead my army deep into the grassland and wander on the grassland day and night.

We specialize in intercepting and killing your small tribes and herdsmen. If you lead a large army to pursue us, we will escape.

I will continue year after year, day after day, until I kill all of you. If it doesn't work in one year, it will be two years. If it doesn't work in two years, it will be five years or ten years.

I believe that one day we will all be killed.

Believe me, I can definitely do it! "

Although Jia Yu's words were very soft, his tone was extremely firm, so firm that no one would doubt his determination.

After listening to his words, the faces of all the Mongolians changed.

Although the Chahar is a large tribe with hundreds of thousands of people, due to limited pasture, it is naturally impossible for everyone in the tribe to gather together.

If we really want to do this, no matter how rich the pasture is, it will not be able to bear so many people and animals.

Therefore, the correct approach is that a large tribe will usually disperse into dozens or even dozens of small tribes scattered over hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers of grassland. Only when there is a war will these small tribes gather together.

If someone else had said this, Totuo Buhua and other senior Mongolian officials would definitely sneer at them. If the grassland tribes were really so easily attacked and killed, the Mongols would have been wiped out countless times.

But Jia Yu is different. Judging from the battles with him during this period, this guy is really capable.

If Jia Yu really did what he said and dispersed the army into pieces on the grassland, intercepting and killing lone herdsmen and small tribes day and night, it would be a disaster for the Chahar tribe.

Although we still don't know whether Jia Yu's words are true or false, no one dares to take this risk, just in case what they say is true.

No one expected that Jia Yu would have such a vicious plan as soon as he opened his mouth.

You can say he is threatening, but no one dares to bet on whether it is true.

As soon as these words came out, even Qing Geer Tai's deep expression and undisguised unruly expression suddenly changed.

"General Jia... There is a proverb among the Han people: when you are a person, you should leave a little in the way so that we can meet each other in the future.

Are you going to fight to the death with the descendants of our great Genghis Khan? "

Jia Yu smiled brightly: "Leave a ray of light? When you Mongolians marched across the Great Xia, burning, killing and looting, even the infant babies, did you ever think of leaving a ray of light for us Han people?

how? Now I’m going to go for a walk in the grassland, can’t you stand it? "

"but……"

Qinggeltai wanted to say more, but was stopped by Tuotuo Buhua.

He looked directly at Jia Yu: "The grassland is poor, with nothing but cattle and sheep.

We Mongolians have been fighting against the sky since we were born, and competing with surrounding tribes for pasture. White disasters and black disasters will come almost every ten years or even a few years.

In order to survive, we can only go south to beg for a living. This is originally the will of the Immortal God, and there is nothing to say.

If you want to come to the grassland for revenge, there is nothing you can do. Let us compete on the grassland.

But that is a matter for the future. Now we are sitting here together, just discussing a solution that is acceptable to both parties, so that both Daxia and the Mongols can take a breather.

Otherwise, if we continue to fight, Hou Jin in Liaodong will only be able to laugh at it, don’t you think? "

He is worthy of being a hero who has led the development of the Chahar tribe for decades. Tuotuo's words made everyone including Wang Zhijie nod secretly.

This is the ambition and courage that a hero should have. In the face of a powerful enemy, no matter how much hatred and grudges you had before, you can let go.

Wang Zhijie nodded and said, "What the Great Khan said is true. I wonder what the Great Khan has to say?"

Tuotuo Buhua said without thinking: "I don't have any advice, my opinion is very simple.

We can withdraw our troops, restore the territories of both sides to their pre-war status, and even make appropriate compensation to Daxia.

But Daxia must also make certain concessions, such as... opening a mutual market at the junction of the two sides to allow the two sides to communicate with each other.

Moreover, this mutual market must be fair and just, without allowing forced buying and selling, hoarding, and allowing our tribes to send people to participate in management.

The most important point is that you are not allowed to close our mutual markets at will. "

"Mutual market?"

As soon as this word came out, everyone fell silent.

Mutual trading is not a new thing, it existed as early as the previous dynasty.

Simply put, this is to open a trade market, allowing nomads and Han people to trade with each other here.

Here, the Mongols could exchange cattle, sheep, horses, furs and other grassland specialties for their continued supply of salt, tea bricks, ironware, medicinal materials and other supplies needed by the nomadic people.

Originally this should be a good thing, and there was a shortage of everything except cattle, sheep, and livestock on the grasslands, so the nomadic people's demand for mutual trade was much greater than that of the Han Dynasty.

This also led to the mutual market becoming a tool for the Central Plains dynasty to suppress the nomads.

Once the nomads did something that angered the Central Plains Dynasty, the first reaction of the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty was to close the mutual market to punish the nomads.

In view of this, mutual trading has always been closed and shut down, just like the relationship between Han people and nomads, which is on and off.

Now Tuotuo Buhua proposed to open a mutual market, which did not surprise the envoys. However, Tuotuo Buhua said that the mutual market should not be closed at will, and that each tribe should send people to manage the mutual market, which made them hesitant. .

This thing was originally a weapon used by the Han people to suppress the Mongols. Now you Mongolians also want to participate in management. How is this possible?

Wang Zhijie was about to refuse without thinking, but he felt his sleeves being quietly pulled twice.

Turning around, he saw that it was Jia Yu who was winking at him.

Although he was puzzled, he still pondered for a moment before saying: "This matter is serious and we need to discuss it in the long term. I suggest that we take a rest first and continue the conversation after lunch."

"Okay!" Tuotuo Buhua also knew that this matter was a big one and the envoys of Daxia Kingdom needed time to discuss it.

Both parties left the tent and returned to their respective stations.

After returning to the General Military Mansion, Wang Zhijie called Jia Yu into a room, and the two closed the door and talked for an hour.

No one knew what the two talked about. After the two came out, Wang Zhijie gathered the delegation together and expressed his views. Finally, everyone set the tone for the afternoon talks.

When the talks resumed in the afternoon, Wang Zhijie immediately told Tuotuo Buhua, Hu Shi shook his head, and Daxia Chao could agree.

The two parties can set up a mutual trading department composed of [-] people to be responsible for managing various disputes and issues in the mutual trading.

Matters that cannot be handled by the Mutual Trading Department will be handed over to the Emperor of Daxia and Tuotuo Buhua.

After the establishment of the mutual market, neither Daxia merchants nor Mongolian herdsmen can maliciously lower or raise prices. Everything must be conducted in accordance with the regulations of the Mutual Market Department.

The formulation of regulations will be finalized jointly by both parties in the coming days. The opening time of the mutual market cannot exceed July this year.

After the conditions for the mutual market were basically determined, Tuotuo Buhua also made concessions. He agreed to make appropriate compensation for the losses caused by the Mongolian cavalry's southern invasion a few days ago.

In the end, the two parties agreed that the Mongolian side would compensate the Mongols for [-] cattle and sheep each, [-] taels of silver, [-] sheepskins and cowhide, and [-] kilograms of wool, to be delivered in three years.

During the talks, the two sides exchanged words and exchanged words. It took three full days of talks before the various rules and regulations were finalized.

When Wang Zhijie and Tuo Tuohua signed their names on the treaty, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone knows that this war has finally come to an end.

The Mongolians need to go back to lick their wounds and prepare supplies for mutual trade in order to survive this year's harsh winter.

Daxia also urgently needs a stable Jiubian, because there is an enemy in Liaodong that is more ferocious than the Mongols that they need to deal with.

After all, fighting on two fronts is the most vexing problem in any era.

After the two sides finalized the treaty, the imperial edict from Shenjing also arrived.

Emperor Changping ordered Jia Yu to lead his troops and envoys back to Beijing immediately without delay.

After receiving the imperial edict, Jia Yu flirted with Namu Zhong for several days before returning to Beijing. Then he sent Namu Zhong, who was reluctant to leave, and his maid Surina to send him back to the Mongolian camp.

Namuzhong and Su Rina were sitting in the luxuriously decorated car given by Jia Yu. They were silent as they looked at the Xuan Mansion that was drifting away.

After a long time, Su Rina suddenly asked: "Ketun, can we see General Jia again?"

"Maybe?" Namuzhong hesitated and said something ambiguous.

She then glanced sideways at Namu Zhong, "Why...I can't bear to leave General Jia. Do you want me to send someone to send you there?"

"Don't dare!"

Su Rina's face turned red, and then she lowered her head in fear, "I swore to Changshengtian that I will always be by Ke Dun's side in this life and will never betray him.

I won't break my promise. "

Namuzhong snorted lightly, glanced at Su Rina with her big watery eyes, suddenly stretched out her hand and quickly lifted up the hem of Su Rina's skirt.

Then a pair of slender and strong thighs were exposed, but unfortunately, a slightly red and swollen mark appeared before his eyes on the knees of these legs.

Namuzhong sneered: "Okay Su Rina, you practiced equestrian with Mr. Jia last night, right? Even your knees are swollen like this."

Su Rina's pretty, wheat-colored face suddenly turned red, and she quickly pulled down the hem of her skirt, and said with embarrassment and anger: "But you are not the same, you are neighing every night.

Over the past few days, your knees have made four dents in that bed, right?

If you hadn't failed yourself, how could I have suffered so much? "

Unlike the hierarchical Central Plains, the Mongols do not attach much importance to superiority and inferiority and etiquette.

Moreover, Na Muzhong and Su Rina are called master and servant, but they are actually half relatives, so they talk more casually in private.

In view of this, Su Rina, who was a little angry and angry, dared to criticize her own Ke Dun like this.

Namuzhong had never been so angry before, staring at Su Rina with wide eyes, "Wow, how dare you talk to me like that.

Believe it or not, when you return to the tribe, I will immediately assign you to those humble herdsmen and make you milk goats and collect cow dung every day. "

Su Rina, who had been with Na Muzhong for many years, was not afraid at all and said with a smile: "But you don't know how. If you send me away, if Mr. Jia comes back in the future, who will help you share his anger."

"Hey... you little coquettish guy, you've gone too far. If I don't take care of you..."

Accompanied by the voices of the two women, the cart gradually moved away towards the Mongolian camp, and in front, a group of Mongolian cavalry was already driving towards them quickly...

Backyard Study Room of General Zhaoyong's Mansion

Since Yuanchun became pregnant, she has not gone to Rongguo Mansion anymore, but happily stayed at General Zhaoyong's Mansion to raise her baby.

After learning that Yuanchun was pregnant, the whole Rongguo Mansion was in a state of panic, and Jia's mother sent a bunch of things.

It was during this time that the girls Yuanchun, Daiyu, Tanchun, Xichun, Xiangyun and Yingchun in the backyard had another hobby, playing mahjong.

The origin of mahjong cannot be studied, but in any case, the development of mahjong can be roughly divided into a process of horse hanging tiles (playing cards) → silent tiles → mahjong tiles (bone making). As for the modern mahjong that became popular in later generations, it will be late Appears only when clear.

Today, leaf cards are still popular among the upper-class nobles of Daxia.

But it is obvious that compared to modern mahjong, leaf tiles are much worse than modern mahjong in terms of gameplay and ease of use.

Therefore, when Yuanchun was afraid that the girls would be bored, he took out the pair of engineering plastic mahjong tiles that Jia Yu kept in the study and taught them how to play, and the first generation of mahjong enthusiasts in Daxia was born.

"Hongzhong..."

"Get rich..."

"Wait...I'll touch..."

In the side hall in the backyard that was originally used for eating, a crackling sound familiar to later generations of Chinese people could be heard from time to time.

Looking closer, it turns out that the four girls Tanchun, Yuanchun, Xiangyun and Wang Xifeng are sitting around the mahjong table, happily building the Great Wall.

Watching the battle next to them were Yingchun, Xichun, Daiyu, Baochai, Qingwen, Baoqin and other girls.

Speaking of which, it is a coincidence that Wang Xifeng and Baochai are here.

Originally, Baochai had already reported her kilometers and was on the list of attendants. However, a few days ago, someone was sent to inform her that her name was inexplicably removed.

Seeing that the originally planned thing was ruined like this, Baochai felt mixed emotions. It happened that Wang Xifeng came to visit Yuanchun on the order of Jia Mu.

So the two of them came hand in hand. If you didn't come, you wouldn't know it. After arriving at General Zhaoyong's mansion, they saw the girls playing mahjong very happily, so they fell into the water.

In addition, Daiyu and the other girls were not in Rongguo Mansion, and Baochai was quite bored, so he simply went to General Zhaoyong's Mansion to keep company with the girls. Wang Xifeng also ran here whenever he had free time, euphemistically saying that he took care of Yuanchun.

Just when the girls were having fun, Jin Chuan ran in from outside and said excitedly: "Madam... I'm so happy... I'm so happy!"

Before Yuanchun could say anything, Xiangyun on the side asked curiously: "Jinchuan, what's the good thing?"

"Madam...it's indeed a good thing. I just heard the news, my uncle...my uncle has already returned to the imperial court and will be arriving in Shenjing in a few days!"

"Bah…"

Upon hearing the news, Yuan Chun dropped the newly acquired cards on the table, revealing the words "three barrels".

Yuanchun didn't bother to pick it up, her expression became slightly sluggish, and then her eye circles slowly turned red, and crystal tears began to fall from her face...
