Chapter 1623 Renzijuan Serial Killing (6)
The civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty was of course a good thing for the Chahar people. The drought for several consecutive years also greatly affected the situation on the grassland. Last year's southern invasion was also a last resort to a certain extent. Lin Dan Batur and his age were not commensurate. Looking deeply to the south.
Without enough supplies, the various tribes on the grassland will also have a hard time this winter and next spring. Especially after last year, the Great Zhou Dynasty significantly increased the blockade of the grassland. Of course, the Inner Khalkha people are an exception. Many times We have to go through the Eastern Mongolian grasslands to obtain various supplies, which makes internal noises continue.
This year will be difficult. Lindan Batur has long expected this, but he did not expect that Zhou Dazhou would give him an opportunity.
This opportunity cannot be refused, but how to turn the opportunity into tangible benefits still needs to be considered.
The grass beneath his feet was stepped on a few times, and the powdery soil made Lindan Batur frown. This should have been a wet season, but this year it was so dry.
The people from the south made many demands, and everyone couldn't argue with them. Some worried that it was a trap, the Han people wanted to retaliate for last year's southern invasion, while others felt that this was an opportunity given to the Chahar people by the Han people's civil strife, and they must not miss it. Some people cautiously expressed that it was indeed an opportunity, but they could not act according to the route set by the Han people. Some people even felt that the internal and external Khalkhas should be brought together.
However, the Han people definitely did not give themselves much time. The Outer Khalkha people are too far away, and there is no time and preparation now. The Inner Khalkha tribes can catch up, but the question is, will Zasai follow them?
After this guy achieved great success last year, he became arrogant and disrespectful in his words. If he hadn't considered that some things still required this guy's cooperation, Lin Dan Batur would have wanted to teach this guy a lesson. He really thought he could get some from the Han people. Can a few small tribes of savage Jurchens be shaken off by recruiting them?
After snatching the meat from Jianzhou Jurchen's mouth, Nurhachi had already wanted to take action against him, but he was not sure about his attitude, so he had to slow down.
It may be difficult to summon Zaisai this time, and the internal staff are not willing to let Zaisai join. It is simply because Zaisai's harvest last year was too great, which made the people under him jealous.
But the people from the south have proposed so much, what’s the return?
Whatever you grab is yours, is it that simple? Then why do you need these people to talk to you?
Provide intelligence information? This is a small thing, but it is easy to break through the border wall, and it is easy to come in and plunder. It is not easy to successfully and safely withdraw. Simply providing information about the surrounding army on the border wall is not enough.
The lessons of last year are still vivid in my mind. I won a great victory in the early stage, but when I went back, it was like a wolf rushing around. Everyone was looking after their own people, and it was a mess. Many of the people and supplies that had been snatched were lost on the way back. , this is what makes everyone sad the most.
Don’t follow the route designated by people coming from the south? Then the other party may not be willing to pay the promised conditions.
Can we get the conditions they promised by following their terms? Lin Dan Batur is not that naive yet. You have to get what you can get by yourself. If you don't have the strength, others won't give it to you even if you promise.
What interests Lindan Batur is who else did this group of people contact besides himself? Tumut's Sushou or Divination Lost Rabbit? Or Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhaci? Boshu Ketu of the Ordos Department?
If this group of people can get in touch with the Tumut people, the Ordos people and even the Jianzhou Jurchens, then this matter will be somewhat interesting.
He still had to inquire, but time was running out. Lindan Batur took a deep breath and it was time to make a decision. Even if it was a trap, he felt it was worth stepping on, but he might not follow their requirements.
As long as it can cause chaos among the Han people, it will be good for the eagle on the grassland.

Sun Shaozu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. The voice of a soldier came from outside the door: "Sir, Master Shi is here."
Seeing the proud look on the other party's face, Sun Shaozu smiled and said, "How can it be unreasonable for Shibo to come forward? My nephew never thought that Shibo would not be able to handle it."
"Hahaha, you are really good at talking. Did you know that I was as tired as a dog during this trip of more than ten days? I ran several times in a row before I found the other party..." Shi Nai couldn't wait to show off his efforts, and by the way, Showing off how deep the relationship between the historian and the other party was, "Wang Chenglong married my cousin's daughter. It's a pity that my cousin died early, but my niece gave birth to him three legitimate children, all of whom are full of life." , have become the pillars of his Wang family,..."
Listening patiently to Shi Nai's ramblings, Sun Shaozu also knew that this guy just wanted to show off how rich the Shi family's connections were in the military, how hard he had worked on this trip, and that he had not lost any of the money he spent. You shouldn’t ask how much is left.
“Uncle Shibo, as long as the matter is done and the Governor can give an explanation, the amount of money will not be a big deal.” Sun Shaozu smiled broadly and waved his hand generously, “Then what does Lord Wang say?”
"He agreed and will come to you the next day. You will explain to him exactly how to do it, but I'm afraid he still needs a warrant from the Governor." Shi Nai still knew the rules and warned him.
"That's natural." Sun Shaozu asked again: "Where is Ding Liangdong?"
"Well, it was a little more troublesome over there. I went to find him, but I kept making excuses for not seeing him. Later, I stayed at his house and waited for two days, and he had no choice but to see me." Shi Nai was still very moral on this point. Sun Shaozu still did what Sun Shaozu told him to do when it came to getting people's money and eliminating disasters, but the effect was beyond his control. "It's just that he refused to give an accurate message, Dalang, I feel If you want to get it done, I’m afraid you need to go there in person.”
Sun Shaozu was slightly disappointed, but then he shook his head. It was the best outcome if he could get Wang Chenglong's side settled. He had no hope for Ding Liangdong's side.
Historians and Ding Liangdong did not have a deep connection. Ding Liangdong was promoted when Feng Han was the commander-in-chief of Datong, just because his father had worked with Shi Nai's father in Shanxi Town.
It is true that the Feng family has really deep connections in Datong, which the historians cannot compare with. It is a pity that the Feng family only has one concubine, and she is too young to be suitable. Otherwise, Niu Jizong can be asked to help propose marriage and form a marriage.
"Forget it, Mr. Ding is willing to make friends with Mr. Sun, and Mr. Sun will naturally be happy. If there is still some dissatisfaction, then Mr. Sun will just wait and see." Sun Shaozu smiled, "Sir Wang is willing to come, but Mr. Sun needs to be well prepared. It’s time.”
"Well, Dalang, Wang Chenglong has a somewhat arrogant temperament, which is not like you. You are a Shangguan, so you need to be more tolerant." Shi Nai introduced: "But this guy is obsessed with earning credit. His eldest son is already in the army. In a few years, my second son will also join the army, and he is looking forward to someone to support him..."
"Really?" Sun Shaozu nodded and smiled, "That's just right. As long as he is willing to obey the order, it is not a problem to make him a wife. The governor has never been stingy with his sons who are willing to work hard."
"Da Lang, Jizong praised you a lot. He just said that the deputy commander-in-chief felt wronged by you. If there is a chance, you should be the commander-in-chief of Datong." Shi Nai smiled brightly, "By the way, you and I Regarding my niece, it’s almost time to give out the betrothal gift. Ji Zong is also asking. I asked my second brother to wait at home. You have also seen my niece. In terms of talent and appearance, she is first-class, and There are matchmakers who have met and said that they are definitely in shape to have a son. If you get married earlier, you can also give birth to an heir for your Sun family earlier and continue the family tradition..."
An unnoticed twitch passed over Sun Shaozu's cheek, but he laughed loudly and said: "Thanks to the Governor's concern, I will send someone back with a letter and arrange for someone to be hired. However, I'm afraid I need to check the birth date first. Haven't you calculated the horoscopes? They match very well..."
"The last calculation was just a casual question. It's best to find a reliable matchmaker to do the calculation, so as to calculate the auspicious date. Miss Shi is now sixteen. If you have time, you can just turn over the year. We’re going through the door, but I still need to make some preparations..."
Sun Shaozu's enthusiastic and eager look made Shi Nai feel relieved. Where could he find such a niece-in-law who would soon become famous?
"Okay, it's better to be more precise. Baoyu of the Jia family is also going to marry the niece of the Governor. You and the Jia family are also family friends. The emperor and I will also have to go back by then. Why don't we make the appointment before Baoyu's wedding? It can be regarded as a double happiness, my aunt has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and it can also be regarded as the end of a problem in her heart."
Sun Shaozu pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, I'll make arrangements immediately."
"Hey, that's right, Dalang. Don't worry. My niece has always been in good health. She will definitely not be like the one you used to have. She will marry her back earlier and give you more sons. In the future, your sons will inherit their father's legacy. The family can be like the Li family and the Ma family..." Shi Nai patted Sun Shaozu on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "In the future, our Shi family and Sun family can also support each other, wouldn't it be better to have one more person to take care of us?"
Sun Shaozu also laughed and said, "Shibo is right. My nephew has admired Miss Shi for a long time. Being able to marry Miss Shi is a blessing. Don't worry, Shibo. If my nephew marries her back home, he will definitely have a good life." Treat her and ensure that she enjoys happiness in the Sun family..."
First update, there’s more!
