"Of course I don't want to. What are these people doing on the grassland? They can't eat it or use it. I don't know how many of these people can be exchanged for ransom. As you said, these ordinary soldiers hope that one person can be exchanged for ransom."
A ransom of fifty taels of silver may not sound like much, but how can it be realized?"
Feng Ziying chuckled, "Who will pay the ransom for them? It will definitely not be possible in a short time. But if we have to hold them in hand for a long time, Zaisai will definitely not be able to do it. That's why Zaisai wants you to help him."
Think of ways to."
"Then what do you have in mind? If pressed, Zaisai might be able to do anything." Busia Mara felt that Feng Ziying was a little careless and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't seem to care. I'm sure Zaisai can do nothing."
Dare to do it?"
"It might be difficult to tell if it were anyone else, but Zasai can be regarded as a person with some foresight among the five inner Khalkha tribes. I believe he would not do those unwise things." Feng Ziying shook her head.
"Are you betting on the slaughter?" Bushyamara disagreed.
"No, since Zaisai has found you, he must have some ideas. You might as well talk about it." Feng Ziying spread her hands and said, "Don't hide it."
Busia Mara also knew that he could not hide it from the other party, so he thought for a while and said: "Zaisai felt that he was in a dilemma and planned to take all the captured officers to the grassland, and the ransom may be greatly increased. In addition, among the tens of thousands of soldiers, the strongest ones will be selected to lead them.
Leave, while the old and weak stay. This is a last resort. In addition, he feels that although businessmen are not willing to do this kind of business, you are a descendant of Wu Xun, and these people are inextricably linked to you. You
With such a great reputation in the capital city, he might be willing to help these people. He can package it for you very cheaply, and it doesn’t necessarily require silver, iron, silk tea, grain, cloth, salt, porcelain, etc.
Everything can be exchanged. If he is willing to make the greatest concession, he should be your friend..."
Feng Ziying laughed loudly, "The words of this slaughter are worse than the songs. I paid money to redeem these things that no one wants, and I have to accept his love. There is no such thing in the world, right? You have to give me this My friend, why don’t you just give all these tens of thousands of people to me for free?”
Busia Mara couldn't help but rolled her eyes. This guy is so thick-skinned. Tens of thousands of people were given to you for free. What are you thinking? He also risked his life to win. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"Zaisai also said that there are merchants from the Zhou Dynasty who have offered money and are willing to help redeem those generals and officers, and they are willing to pay according to the price he offered, but no one cares about these soldiers..."
Busia Mara's words made Feng Ziying tremble in her heart, but then she thought about it, the Shanshan Chamber of Commerce's gang could reach Hami, Turpan, Yilibari (Mughal), Uszang, and North Korea in the east.
Once we have a good relationship, it makes sense to do this kind of thing.
It can be said that this group of businessmen does have some skills and a way of building relationships, but they are unwilling to use it in the right way.
Whether it is the Mongolian tribes on the left or right wing, the Jurchen tribes, the Korean royal family, or the Yilili (Mongol) people in the farthest west, they can all pass through, so through these Mongolian tribes, from
It is normal to go through trouble to redeem the lives of the nobles in the capital.
"So Zaisai is not willing and wants them to pack them up? But these businessmen are not willing either?" Feng Ziying smiled, "That's fine, let Zaisai and the others bring all the valuable people who he thinks can be exchanged for ransom."
Return to the grassland, pack up the remaining soldiers and give them to me, 50,000 people, and I will give him 50,000 taels of silver, or goods of equal value, Bushiya Mara, you guarantee it!"
Bushiya Mara was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. After a long while, she said in horror: "Are you crazy? Zasai wants 2.5 million taels, but you only give 50,000 taels. Do you think he will agree?"
Feng Ziying said calmly: "Business, isn't it just a discussion? You have already said that these tens of thousands of people are worthless to him, and it is unrealistic to escort them to the grassland. These people are neither farmers nor
The craftsmen are all pampered old soldiers. Let's exchange them for silver. No one pays for them. They hold them in their hands and have to take care of the food every day. Even if they only spend ten cents a day, the fifty thousand people will spend four to five hundred taels of silver.
I’m afraid it’s also heartbreaking for the people from the Five Inner Khalkha tribes who are so poor that they all want to come to the Central Plains to make a fortune, right?”
"But no matter what, Zaisai will not agree to it. The five tribes of Inner Khalkha suffered such huge losses under Qian'an City. Zaisai cannot get enough goods and will not be able to explain when he returns." Bushiya Mara said deeply.
vocal tract.
"Who said Zaisai and the others had nothing to gain? Aren't the armors, horses, weapons, and guns of the tens of thousands of troops valuable? I'm afraid Zaisai had already wiped out all these people, right? There are also various people from such a huge Beijing camp.
Planting equipment, vehicles, grain and grass, let me say less, when it comes to these soldiers from the Beijing camp, each of their belongings is worth fifteen taels of silver. After all, it is worth at least nearly one million taels of silver!"
Bushiya Mara suddenly realized that no wonder Zaisai was not particularly angry. It turned out that they had already made a lot of money from the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp.
The armor and weapons are huge. Even if they can't use them all themselves, if they transport them back to the grassland, they can definitely go to fight with the tribes of Outer Karkha, the Chahar people, even the Tumuts and Ordos people, as well as the Jurchens from the East China Sea further north.
The Jurchens from Jianzhou came to exchange, and Zhou's armor and weapons were still very popular in these places.
Seeing that Bushiya Mara understood, Feng Ziying smiled and said: "So, I never suffer a loss when I win a battle. Zasai and the others have made a lot of money, and there are hundreds of military officers and officers. He is sure
If they want to make another good fortune, they have already made enough. As for these tens of thousands of soldiers, they are basically just an additional bonus. If they can make a fortune, it is worth it. If they really can't make it, then they can do it as a favor. Why?
Are you happy but not doing it? Do you think he didn't think of this and told you specifically, isn't it because he wants to make a fortune from you and also want you to accept his love? "
So that was the case. Busia Mara couldn't help but gnashed her teeth. It was funny in Feng Ziying's eyes: "Do you think it's so easy for Zasai to become the leader of Inner Khalkha at such a young age? There are so many warriors on the grassland that they can lead troops to fight.
There are quite a few, but only those who have vision, can manage and think well can be regarded as characters. Why didn't Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu think that his son and grandson would succeed him as the leader of the five inner kalkha tribes? Because
He then understood that if the five Inner Khalkha tribes wanted to prosper, it was not just about being able to fight. Why, with Nuantu's six or seven sons, did he not choose his own son to inherit the position of leader of the Hongjira tribe, but set rules for his nephew to succeed?
Come to take over? I’m afraid it’s not just as simple as passing down the rules of the tribe.”
As they talked, Busia Mara's eyes towards Feng Ziying changed slightly. After a while, Busia Mara said quietly: "How do you know so much about things on our grassland and see so thoroughly?"
"What? Do you think I'm not as unbearable as you first thought?" Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly, "The more you get in touch with me, the more unfathomable I become, and you can't help but want to know more about me?"
She tried her best to keep her expression unchanged, but Busiyamala knew that she was a little confused.
She has met many heroes on the grassland, including Zai Sai, Nurhaci and his sons, Lin Dan Batur, and even several of Li Chengliang's sons. She has met and interacted with them all.
There are many ambitious and heroic people, but compared with the person in front of me, there always seems to be something missing.
She couldn't tell what exactly was missing. All in all, this person could give people a sense of trust and security, making you involuntarily trust him.
"Sir, let's get back to the topic. Maybe what you said makes sense, but you said fifty thousand taels of silver can be exchanged for fifty thousand soldiers. Do you think it's possible? No matter how useless Zaisai thinks these people are, it's impossible to do this.
Let me give it to you, even if he grits his teeth and escorts three to five thousand more people back to the grassland, as long as one person can ask for a ransom of twenty taels of silver, it is still more cost-effective than your fifty thousand taels." Bushiya Mara shook his head.
"I said we can talk, but time waits for no one, and I'm afraid Zaisai himself won't be able to bear it anymore." Feng Ziying smiled, "Who will Zaisai send?"
"Bi Ling Rabbit and Zhuang Rabbit." Bushiya Mara replied.
"Oh, it stands to reason that Bilingu should be the person Zaisai trusts more. Zhuangtu is the son of Bayandar Yileden of the Zalut tribe, right?" Feng Ziying nodded, "Zhuoli of the Uziyet tribe
Ketuhunbatulu has always supported Zaisai, and now Zaisai has brought in the Zalut tribe, the strongest of the five tribes in Inner Khalkha. The Zalut tribe and the Bayot tribe have always been on good terms and are in-laws to each other.
, it seems that Zaisai’s plan is big.”
"In this case, Bushiya Mara, it's not suitable for me to come forward. It's better for you to talk to Bilingu and Zhuangtu. My bottom line is one hundred thousand taels of silver. No need to talk for any more. What should Zai Sai do?
It's okay, we won't get involved." Feng Ziying said calmly: "Let's start with fifty thousand taels. Bi Lingtu and Zhuangtu may be very angry at first, but if you explain what I said thoroughly, I believe Zai Saixuan will do it.
The people we are talking to are not stupid and should understand the seriousness of this."
Bushiyamala felt as if she had been firmly tied to the other party in a boat. She didn't know how she was regarded as the most trusted person by the other party in a daze, and that such matters could be left to her.
I'm going to do it myself, it seems like I still can't refuse.
"Bushiya Mara, the Jurchens in Jianzhou will be our more and more difficult enemies in the future. In comparison, Lindan Batur is just a scabies disease. The Inner Khalkha people may become our friends. Likewise,
, Zaisai will also realize this. The Jurchen and Chahar people in Jianzhou have nothing to give to the Inner Khalkha people, but Dazhou can give them everything they want, so based on common interests and enemies, we believe in the future
There will be more and more opportunities for cooperation.”
Feng Ziying stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance with her hands behind her hands.
