back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 848
Dashun border, Yunnei Prefecture.

"A few days ago, there were horse bandits again, as if they were here to harm private parties..."

"Hey, isn't this because private discussions are against the law and there is nowhere to report them to officials!"

"Even if you report to the official, there is nothing you can do. This group of horse bandits come and go like the wind, and their whereabouts are unpredictable. What can the official report do with them?"

"Can't let them be so arrogant?"

"The private discussion was made by merchants spontaneously. Don't they just think that Tanzhou is far away? From Taiyuan Prefecture to Yunnei Prefecture, it is much closer than going to Tanzhou! There are so many merchants in the world, where are they willing to go to Tanzhou? In a The place is crowded to beg for food, but you can only beg for shit!"

"Brother's words are not rough, but this is the reason. Previously, the imperial court only opened a forum to prevent the Khitan people from being too rampant. But after doing business for so many years, everyone understands that ordinary Khitan people and Khitan nobles are different. It's completely different. It's just like the officials and the people in Dashun. If the Holy Majesty hadn't vigorously rectified it, we bastards would still be bullied by those officials!"

"In this way, could it be that the Khitan nobles were jealous and sent people to pretend to be horse bandits to plunder?"

"Impossible? If you want to talk about it privately, the Khitan nobles are the ones who make the most money?"

"It's impossible for the Khitan nobles, but maybe other clans. In my opinion, most of the horse bandits are in jackets, they can ride and shoot well, and they are not tall. They should be mostly Shiwei people..."

"Shiwei? Aren't they in the north of the desert!"

"The Khitan people are xenophobic, and they are especially afraid of Shiwei. Shiwei people have migrated to the northwest for some years. I heard that they have become a country called Menggu (according to research, it is indeed the ancestor of the Mongolian tribe)..."

"The area from the Luqu River to the Heshu River is the territory of the Wugu tribe. It is adjacent to the Zhabu tribe in the west, across two rivers from the Dilie Babu tribe in the north, the Menggu tribe in the northwest, and Liaoshangjing, the imperial capital, in the south. The location. More than [-] people, including Uncle Chongyuan, the Taihuang Emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and his sons Chu King Nielugu, Chen King Chen Liu, and Wei Wang Tie conspired to lure the crooked army into the palace. Fortunately, Yeluliang informed Fang It was able to be contained in time. Do you think this horse bandit came from these two departments?"

"Well, I heard that even in Liao, there are many conflicts among the ministries. Some big tribes make a lot of money through private negotiations, and naturally some tribes lose money. It's inevitable that there will be resentment in the heart."

"I don't know why they are fighting like this. Isn't it good for everyone to earn money?"

"It's a pity that those grassland people don't think so! Apart from firewood, rice, oil, salt, and iron, which ones don't they need us to transport over there, such as sauce, vinegar, tea, paper, books, and porcelain? The silver, money cloth, silk, sheep, horses, and camels obtained by the country are much more valuable than mere sauce, vinegar, and tea. If you come and go, who knows that we, the Han merchants, are the richest in the world, and whoever you don’t want to rob!”

"According to what you say, we deserve to be robbed? We don't sneak and abduct, and keep our own place. Is it easy to earn two money from early morning to late night?"

"Every man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty!"

……

Just as everyone was discussing, there were thunderous hoofbeats outside the city.

"Zhe Mo is the horse bandit again?"

"Where are the officers and soldiers, where are the officers and soldiers? Hurry up and close the city gate, the horse bandits are coming..."

"Hey, it doesn't seem like a horse bandit. Listen, the sound of horse hoofs has slowed down..."

Everyone was stunned, and looked intently, it was a slip of armor, isn't this the officers and soldiers of Dashun?Everyone looked more carefully, and immediately felt confident. There were more than a thousand cavalrymen in this group, and they were all dressed up as elite frontier soldiers.These days cavalry are expensive to build. Although horses can be exchanged for tea in the market, other items also cost money to build.The cost of these thousand cavalry is probably more than [-].Not to mention that the armor on the cavalry is all delicately crafted fish-scale armor, even a horse bow can't pierce it, it can protect the whole body, and it's not too heavy.As long as he is not so weak that he gets shot in the head and neck, he can always go on a rampage.

Even the horse was armored to protect its vitals.

"The officers and soldiers are here, are they here to suppress the bandits?"

"Hey, it's better to count on the honest and upright officials of the Manchu Dynasty to count on the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits! It's been a few days before the officers and soldiers came, and the day lily is cold! Besides, it's freezing cold, where are they going to suppress the bandits? I guess Ah, why don't you just come here for a cutscene so that you can go back to work..."

"This is..."

Among this group of more than a thousand cavalry, a general attracted much attention.There is a steel gun hanging on the victory hook on the horse, and he is wearing fine fish-scale armor. The armor on his head is different from others, and the red tassel stands tall as if it wants to pierce the sky.He looked like a white-faced scholar, but a pair of wolf eyes looked around, making those onlookers silent and afraid to speak again.

"Master, this is Yunnei Prefecture."

A member of the general's personal entourage patted his horse and said in a low voice.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It's up to you to say it. Outside the Great Wall, there is no one to help, and there is a private dispute. What is it if it is not Yunnei State?"

"I said [-]% off, do you get itchy when you don't talk for a day? What did I say, I want you to interrupt?"

"Zhesan, you can scare me just because you are old? It's better to put away your flattering skills, it's not too embarrassing. If you want a trick, just say it. You don't have to be ashamed to turn any corner or rub any corners." !"

Zhesan was robbed so much by him, his face turned green with anger, and when he was about to retort, the general said: "It's alright, alright, stop arguing, don't you bother to quarrel all the way? In this way, Zhao Yang waved , you follow me to learn skills, and no one else!"

A boy on the other horse nodded submissively.

"The baby who came out of the mountain is so obedient..." Zhesan said with a sigh.

Zhewu next to him said with a burst of cynicism: "Come on, Zhewu, don't you just want to find a free laborer, why do you say it so nicely?"

Zhesan said viciously: "Zhi Niang, I had a grudge against you in the previous life? Let's find a place to fight? It will also save your kid from talking all day long! Yes, I want to find someone to call me. Little pawn, don’t you have the same idea of ​​discounting [-]% off? Old sow crow, don’t blame anyone!”

It’s a good time to make five discounts, and it seems that I don’t take the words of three discounts at ease: “My food looks much better than yours. I’m lucky if I get it, but I’m dead if I lose it…”

"Hey, a cow doesn't know its horns, and a horse doesn't know its face!" Zhesan said viciously.

The general looked at the two bickering helplessly, and smiled wryly.He also knew that despite their unforgiving mouths, it was common for these two people to expose each other's faults, but in fact, if they really put their lives together, they would both be willing to hand over their backs to each other.This is the friendship forged on the battlefield, how can it be that they turn against each other after a quarrel?Others don't know the inside story, and think they are enemies in the previous life. Only those who know the inside story understand that this is their unique way of communication, and it is uncomfortable not to swear a few words a day.

"Anyway, it's not in the way, let them go..." As soon as the idea came to the general's mind, he arrived under the state city.

Yunnei Prefecture is said to be a state city, but it is actually a border town surrounded by low earthen walls built with bricks and stones, which is far from the brick walls poured with glutinous rice juice and egg whites in the Great Wall.Originally, Yunnei Prefecture was the place where Dashun criminals were exiled into the army.In recent years, private discussions have been hot, but it has attracted many merchants and even Khitan people to live in it for a long time.Everyone in the world thinks that the Han people and the Khitan people are feuds, but they don't know that in Yunnei Prefecture, the Han people and the Khitan people don't know how well they get along.
