The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 318 Women Play Hooligans Too ([-])
In the Bukui post house, the imperial envoy Jiang Mingqian looked anxious, sighing and wandering around the room.

Originally, I thought it would be a good job to come to Bukui to inspect exile affairs.Unexpectedly, it would catch up with such a thing.

It's all because Jia Min, who is so successful and doesn't know how to live or die, insists on provoking those [-] prairie cavalry.

Bu Kui has been stationed in the army for more than a hundred years. If the matter of Wendula Grassland was easy to handle, it would have been settled sooner.The establishment of prefectures and counties has never been thought of before.Several Ning Guta generals had this plan, but in the end they didn't dare to start the war lightly and let it go.

How powerful is General Ning Guta, the soldiers and horses in the entire Northeast are in his hands, and they dare not act rashly.You, Jia Min, have only been here for a few days, and you want to fight [-] prairie cavalry just because of your prefectural regiment, what is it if you are not looking for death?
It doesn't matter if you want to die yourself, why do you drag me to be buried with you?Picking things up a few days earlier and picking things up a few days later, can you die?Do you have to wait until I'm here to pick things up?

What should I do now?

Waiting here is waiting to die.If I run away, let others know in the future, and I will be ordered to flee, and my official will be gone.

You little bastard is only 16 years old, even if you are dismissed and investigated, after a few years, you still have a chance to make a comeback.I'm in my fifties, and I just got a servant of the Ministry of Punishment, can I afford it?

"Shi Weng, you still have to make up your mind early. If you hesitate any longer, the grassland cavalry will come, but it will be too late."

Master Wang was more anxious than Jiang Mingqian.

"Well, um, if I leave Bu Kui at this time, I'm afraid..."

"My lord, we didn't leave Bukui. We didn't go back to the imperial capital either. Although there are thieves who deceive the public, saying that [-] grassland cavalry are coming to attack Bukui, how can there be such a war? Even if he wants to come Attack, and will not publicize it everywhere in advance, wouldn't that leak the secret?"

"did you mean?"

"Didn't we just leave after hearing the news of the grassland cavalry's attack? Besides, we didn't leave either?"

Isn't it just running away? Why haven't you left yet?
"The exile affairs involve a lot of things. Not only Bu Kui's affairs have to be inspected, but also the things around Bu Kui have to be inspected?"

"Peripheral affairs?"

"The Ma Zhuang and Liu's shacks around Bu Kui are the main roads for Bu Kui to pass through. If there are people escaping, that is the only way to go. Therefore, the defense of the checkpoints there must also be inspected. .”

"Bu Kui's affairs are almost inspected. In the next few days, my lord should also go to Mazhuang to inspect. If there is enough time, we can go back to Bu Kui. If the schedule is tight, we will return directly to the imperial capital from there to report. It's all right."

"In the past few days, Bukui Dusi Jia Min has gone to various places to handle official business. We don't know what he is busy with. It is not good to disturb the government affairs of the magistrate. Besides, my lord has always kept a low profile in his affairs. He hates that kind of greeting and sending. , Wherever you go, you are easy to follow, so you don’t disturb local officials and people.”

"Well, this..."

"My lord, let's go. The officers and soldiers of Mazhuang and Liu's huts have been looking up to the envoy for a long time, and they are all waiting for your lord to declare the consolation of the Holy Majesty."

"Well, that's it, let's go to the Mazhuang, declare the kindness of the saint, and go."

Things were packed long ago, and as soon as Jiang Ming went out, he got on his horse and set off.

After leaving the south gate, Jiang Mingqian looked back at Bukui City, feeling a little sad.

If it weren't for Jia Min's misbehavior, how could such a disaster have been summoned?If so many exiles are released, the Northeast will be uneasy from now on.

Should I go back to the imperial capital or go to Ninggu Pagoda?Will Han Tiankui buy my account?Is he willing to take over Bu Kui's mess?If he is unwilling to take over, who will he send here in the future?

Alas, no matter what to do, let's think about how to pass the emperor's level.

Jiang Mingqian sighed, patted his horse and galloped towards Ma Zhuang.

Mazhuang is 120 miles away from Bukui.It was Bu Kui's first military platform leading to the pass.

For more than 100 years, the cavalry on the Windura grasslands have never been there.

So, it's a safe place.

At five o'clock in the evening, Kadeer, the leader of the Khaki tribe, and Damulo, the great shaman, accompanied by Feng Ziying, arrived at Erdaojiang Ferry and met with Bukuidus Jia Min.

The two sides talked in the yurt.

"Jia Dusi, we have come to surrender."

As Kadel said, he was about to kneel down.

Jia Min hurried forward to support him.

"Why did the head of Kader say that? We didn't fight, how can we say that we surrendered? We are still friends now."

Damn, I have been fighting for several months, killing dozens of my people, robbing artisans, embargoed, or friends?Do you have friends like you?

"Yes, we're friends. We're here to negotiate."

"Head Kader, how can we negotiate? We have neither done business nor fought, and I have not defeated you, so there is no need to negotiate."

You didn't fight, but you frightened us, and I frightened you, okay.

"Jia Dusi, what do you think I am here for?"

"You responded to the imperial court's call. In order to thank the Holy Majesty for his kindness over the years, you took the initiative to pay the tribute."

"That's right, I'm here to pay the tribute. Jia Dusi, I brought all the money."

"Okay, that's right. Khaki people are still trustworthy after all. They owe money to the court and know how to pay it themselves."

Take the initiative to fart, if you don't scare me, it's no wonder I know how to hand over.

"Jia Dusi, this is the list of tributes. Silver is 1000 taels per year, for a total of 70 years, totaling 7 taels."

"There are one hundred pieces of mink fur per year, seven thousand pieces in 70 years, and each piece is combined with 2 taels of silver, totaling 4000 taels."

"70 catties of velvet per year, totaling 500 catties in [-] years. Three taels of silver per catty, totaling [-] taels."

"Twenty catties of fresh ginseng per year, 70 catties in 20 years, 8000 taels of silver per catty, a total of [-] taels."

"A few things added together, the total is 12 taels of silver. This is the bank note of Shengjing Xinlong Bank."

"Well, the head of Kadeer has a proactive attitude, and I am magnanimous for once. The interest for these years is not required. Chief of Staff Feng, accept it, and write a letter to the head of Kadeer."

Interest?You have a good idea. Calculated over 70 years, the remaining 8 taels of silver I have given to you is not enough.If you really want interest, I might as well fight you hard.

"Then thank you Jia Dusi."

"You don't need to thank me, you did a good job yourself. Otherwise, I can't save you like McKayman. Okay, go to Bukui. When I defeat Lameihua tomorrow morning, I will go back to Pukui together." I will give you a form and ask the emperor to confer on you, and you will be the real leader from now on."

"Can I still be the leader?"

"Of course you can. Not only can you continue to be the leader, but your livestock, pastures, and forests can all be kept. It's just that your tribe has no affiliation with you. They are official subjects of the imperial court and will be under the direct jurisdiction of the government in the future. How about it, are you satisfied?"

I'm satisfied ass.If there are no followers, what kind of leader am I?
"Thank you Jia Dusi, I am very satisfied."

Lameihua, fight for your anger and beat this little bastard to death so that you can get my money back. 12 taels of silver, the wealth accumulated by the ancestors for generations.

Feng Ziying sent Kadeer and Damuluo outside, and sent a soldier to lead them to Bukui.

When he returned to the yurt, his face was full of excitement.

"Officer Min, this move is brilliant. It took out the Khaki man without bloodshed."

"Hey, this is called not to beat you, not to scold you, to scare you to death. How about Luomu Pavilion?"

"That guy pretended to be sick, but he sent someone to say that tomorrow he and Mingda will visit Bukui."

"Oh, these old foxes finally understand."

"Officer Min, there is one thing I don't understand. For other tribes, our plan is to cancel the leader and tell them to leave the grassland. Why did Kadel retain the title of leader and give him a canon so that he can stay in the grassland?"

"Brother Feng, this is a long-term move. The four major tribes in the South Wendura Grassland are not to be feared. Our current real enemy is not them, but the Tatar Alliance on the North Wendura Grassland."

"Kader's title of leader is retained to stabilize the Tatars and prevent them from reacting violently in a short period of time."

"I understand. The Tatar Alliance on the North Wendura Grassland is actually similar to the four major tribes in South Wendura. They all owe tribute and have not been canonized. Keep Kader This example is to tell them to retain a little bit of thinking, so as not to go down the road of fighting us."

"Yes, the Tatars are very powerful, and we are not their opponents yet. If they attack us at this time, we will have to flee. By then, nearly 1 people will be exiled, which is a major hidden danger Either let them be taken captive as slaves, or let them go. At that time, you and I will lose our heads.”

"Now I understand why no one wants to come to Bukui. The cold weather is just a trivial matter, and these powerful neighbors next to me are the serious trouble."

"Yes, as long as there are these powerful neighbors, Bu Kui will always be in a precarious situation. These exiles have become a heavy burden. Therefore, the successive Bu Kui officials in charge of the grassland tribes only It’s about appeasement.”

"It's just that this appeasement is not a long-term solution after all. These guys are capricious. If they are unhappy, they will come to harass and rob and threaten to release people."

"However, when we come to our place, they won't be able to use this trick in the future. It's just that we need some time. Wait a little longer. After this winter, we will start to deal with the Tartars."

"I didn't move the Luomu Pavilion first this time, is it also because of the Tatars?"

"Yes, we need him there to fend off the Tartars first."

"Now, the problem of the Mailai people and the Khaki people has been solved. As long as we solve the Tiefo people, the overall situation of the South Vendura Grassland will be settled."

"Yeah, we've solved the problem in the South Wendura Grassland, and this year has finally yielded something. It's just a question of the scale of the wintersweet flower talk, and we still have to take care of it."

"Why don't they fight? They don't accept it. The fight was too hard, the feud was too deep, and it will be difficult to reconcile in the future. Their vitality has been hurt too much, and it will not be good for us in the future."

"This is dancing with shackles, otherwise, firing all firearms, even if there are many others, is useless."
