Chapter 224: Special services of Qunying Chamber of Commerce
Zhu Ying originally thought that the war against Japan would take place during the Ming Dynasty in June next year.
When Yao Guangxiao set out, he did share some thoughts with Yao Guangxiao about the Japanese pirates and the Japanese country.
Especially the strategic location of Goryeo.
I didn't expect that this guy would actually come to me if something happened.
"My boss, Master Daoyan has mobilized almost all our forces in Goryeo. Now Li Chenggui estimates that it is completely clear."
Ye Yueqing analyzed and said.
Zhu Ying smiled slightly and said: "So what if I know, maybe he still has some ability to resist."
"Master Daoyan made a brilliant move. Many of the seeds we planted in Goryeo may have had second thoughts now."
"After all, Li Chenggui is about to become the king himself. If they choose to follow Li Chenggui, they will be ministers of the dragon."
"And our Qunying Chamber of Commerce is very likely to be used as a petition. I have already estimated this matter."
"Now that Master Daoyan is doing this, he is forcing those who have second thoughts to take sides. Driven by current interests, they can only choose our side."
The more Zhu Ying analyzed it, the more he felt that Yao Guangxiao's move was extremely clever.
I just happened to be stuck at this point.
Most people really don't dare to do this kind of thing. Almost instantly, the whole country of Goryeo was mobilized to fight against Japan.
However, it's really fun.
It also makes it easy to mention the morale of the people of Goryeo and the soldiers.
Goryeo was so close to the Japanese country and had suffered from the Japanese pirates for a long time. This attack had the whole country supporting Goryeo.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also use troops against Goryeo in the spring of next year. It can be imagined that now is the best time.
Zhu Ying sighed inwardly, the prime minister in black is the prime minister in black.
No matter where it is thrown, the value can be realized quickly. The key is that this person has no concept of popular support.
Like a robot with only reason, it only cares about how to maximize profits.
Looking at it from another perspective, the current Goryeo army of 150,000 soldiers actually has a very heavy burden.
Unless we attack the Japanese country in one go and plunder a lot of wealth, if it drags on for a year or two, the entire Goryeo will be impoverished.
The Henan plague incident is now coming to an end.
The name of King Yu has begun to be sung throughout the Henan region, and is quickly spreading to the surrounding areas.
The spread of this was so fast, and Zhu Ying was naturally behind it to add fuel to the flames.
Zhu Ying is very clear about her own life experience, and there are a lot of suspense in it.
In fact, he had nothing to explain.
Another ten years passed without any memory of the previous life.
Perhaps except for the old man, no one absolutely believes that he is Zhu Xiongying.
He himself found it a bit incredible.
Like Sapphire, so passionate, after all, there are too many personal interests involved in it.
Therefore, what Zhu Ying needs is to truly control the military power, instead of relying on Lan Yu or a certain group of generals.
But like the old man, the soldiers should skip the generals and be loyal to their own side.
And people's hearts and minds are also very important.
It seems that the common people and soldiers are two groups.
In fact, essentially, they are a group.
Most of the ordinary soldiers were originally farmers, and the farming system represented their dual identities.
It is unavoidable to want the loyalty of soldiers, good reputation, and the support of the people.
This is what people want.
Completely relying on Lan Yu, when the time comes the soldiers will only recognize Lan Yu but not the emperor, which is not much different from a puppet.
"Your Highness, there is a message from His Majesty in the capital."
Eunuch Guo Zhong came in and reported.
Zhu Ying took it and saw that it was an envoy from the Timur Empire paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
And the person who came this time was the grandson of Timur's empire.
"My boss, the Timur Empire is very strong, and our power on the grasslands is constantly shrinking."
"The Golden Horde is now facing Timur's army and is retreating steadily, making it difficult to resist."
"Timur not only fought against the Golden Horde, but also fought on multiple fronts."
After Zhu Ying read it, he passed the letter to Ye Yueqing to read.
After Ye Yueqing returned to Zhu Ying, she took charge of intelligence collection and analysis again. After reading it, Ye Yueqing introduced the Timur Empire to Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying didn't know much about the Timurid Empire in his previous life.
The only thing that left any impression was about the millions of troops marching eastward to conquer the Ming Dynasty. This was considered a huge military operation in history.
However, during this eastern expedition, Timur died of illness on the way, and then the entire Timur empire fell apart.
So in Zhu Ying's heart, she didn't care too much.
But what Zhu Ying didn't know was.
As he flaps his wings as a butterfly, he has already begun to change the original history.
on the grassland,
Several columns of carriages, protected by hundreds of knights, headed towards the military camp of Timur's army.
At this moment, in the military camp of Timur's army.
Ashina Hayabusa was drinking and having fun with his subordinates.
Ashina belongs to the aristocratic surname, which represents the identity of Ashina Falcon, who is a born aristocrat.
Only nobles like him are qualified to command an army of ten thousand people.
"I wonder, General, if you have heard of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce." While drinking, a general suddenly asked.
This general was different from the others. Surrounded by many sturdy figures, he looked a little thin.
"Baye, the snowflake salt from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is really good. What we are enjoying now is what they provide."
Ashina Falcon took a hard bite of the roasted lamb leg, laughed and said.
Ba Ye replied: "General, what I want to say is that in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, there is a special service provided specifically for the nobles. I wonder if the general has heard of it."
As soon as Ashina Falcon heard this, he immediately became interested.
The word "big noble" undoubtedly aroused the glory in his heart.
During the Tang Dynasty, the only Turkic nobles had the surname Ash. In a sense, Ashina Falcon was the real noble noble of inheritance.
Nowadays, Turks and Mongols are basically the same, but they also pay more attention to blood.
"Tell me quickly, what kind of noble service is it? Even I don't know." Ashina Hayabusa urged.
Seeing the general's expression, Ba also knew that his plan was working.
In Timur's empire, the hierarchical system was very obvious, and Timur divided the citizens into twelve levels.
General Ashina Hayabusa is undoubtedly one of the top ones.
If an ordinary general like Baya wanted to be promoted, he would naturally have to take another path.
So how to win over Ashina Falcon is a question that Baya has been thinking about recently.
It was the day before yesterday that he suddenly received news from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
And Ba also heard some special rumors about the Qunying Chamber of Commerce a long time ago, and it was not until the person who sent someone to inquire came back yesterday that he dared to say so.
"That is the Chamber of Commerce of Heroes, which only provides personnel for the most noble nobles. These personnel are proficient in all aspects and are a symbol of the great nobles. They have gone through the most classical training."
"It can protect the health of the great nobles, as well as make specific clothes and exquisite food. Only by hiring them can you enjoy the special spices provided by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce."
"It is said that in China, only the emperors of the previous dynasty could enjoy the service."
Ba also started praising the team service provided by Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
This is actually a high-end customization plan that Zhu Ying started implementing a long time ago.
Under the exclusive name of the emperor of the Chinese Dynasty, we provide a series of teams composed of well-trained nutritionists, doctors, fashion designers, chefs, etiquette masters, etc. to serve the great nobles.
There are many latest researches, such as the best snowflake salt, white snow sugar, various new seasonings, more colorful clothes and a series of high-end supplies.
It will only be provided in large quantities through people who enjoy the service.
Provide perfect care for the daily life of the great nobles.
This includes not only financial income and the influence of the Chamber of Commerce, but also intelligence collection.
After hearing this, Ashina Falcon suddenly felt that the leg of lamb in his hand no longer smelled good.
"Where are they and how can they be recognized by the Heroes Chamber of Commerce?" Ashina Falcon asked urgently.
"Don't worry, General. I have already invited their person in charge, and they should be here by now." Baya saw that the General was very interested and said quickly.
All the generals present heard that they were also very interested in such enjoyable things.
At Ashina Falcon's urging, Ba Ya quickly asked someone to take a picture of the person in charge of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
A middle-aged Han man soon appeared in the big tent.
He is the head of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
After this person came in, he looked at the Ashina Falcon sitting above him, and then performed an ancient Turkic aristocratic ceremony.
Ashina Falcon's eyes lit up when he saw it.
This is an aristocratic ceremony that only the ancient nobles of the Turks have. Few outsiders know about it. Even the Ashina Falcon is not very familiar with it.
The aristocratic etiquette of this Han Chinese is very standard, just like a textbook, and looks very graceful.
"I heard from my subordinates that your team only serves the great nobles." Ashina Falcon asked.
The middle-aged man smiled and replied: "The general has misunderstood. We only serve the great nobles with a long tradition. Not all great nobles can enjoy it."
The man spoke fluent Turkic and there was no barrier to communication.
"Then can you show us what it's like?" Ashina Falcon said politely.
Ashina Hayabusa's current tone seems very polite, but in fact he is a very irritable person.
Just like Timur, his favorite thing to do is to massacre cities.
But in front of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, he showed respect.
The main reason is that the forces behind this chamber of commerce are too complex.
I don’t know how many nobles enjoy dividends and protect it.
The middle-aged man looked around and saw that many generals were eating barbecue.
"We have brought strong liquor that only warriors can enjoy. This is not for sale to the outside world and will be given to the generals."
"I would like to ask the general to let our chef make exquisite barbecue for you generals."
After hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Ashina Hayabusa naturally had no reason to refuse.
Soon, a chef wearing white clothes walked in.
The chef also wore a cloth to cover his mouth and nose.
After the salute, under the translation of the middle-aged man, the chef quickly started grilling meat.
First, there were more than ten kinds of knives, which impressed many generals.
Then, just like showing off his skills, he stabbed, mixed, cut, and shaved a leg of lamb, which was dazzling to watch.
As it roasted, spices were continuously sprinkled on it, and an alluring fragrance spread directly throughout the tent.
After it was almost done, the chef took out a bottle of prepared sauce, poured it on the lamb leg, and finally presented it to Ashina Hayabusa.
Everyone present has never seen such an operation before.
The entire barbecue process is as sacred as a sacrifice, with a strong sense of ritual.
Especially the taste, just smelling the fragrance makes your mouth water.
After roasting, add some salt and some coarse spices and eat it now, which is like a dimensionality reduction blow.
Ashina Falcon took the lamb leg and took a big bite. The unique taste stimulated the taste buds.
It's a delicacy he has never tried in his whole life.
After more than ten bites, the entire leg of lamb was completely eaten, and the Ashina Falcon couldn't help but suck the bones.
The smell seemed to have penetrated into the sheep bones, which made the general present feel envious.
At this time, the chef suddenly spoke with a regretful tone.
But basically no one present could understand Chinese.
The middle-aged man translated: "What the chef means is that this leg of lamb severely limits his performance. The Chamber of Commerce's spices were wasted on such a leg of lamb."
"The lamb legs enjoyed by the nobles should be carefully raised lambs, so that they can be fully integrated into the delicious taste."
Although Ashina Falcon and many generals did not understand the meaning, it did not affect their sense of incomprehension.
Only then did they realize what the life of a real nobleman should be like.
What happens next will naturally fall into place.
However, the price of hiring an entire team still makes Ashina Hayabusa feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Ashina Falcon asked: "I wonder if your Qunying Chamber of Commerce has provided such services to our Great Khan."
The middle-aged man said with great regret: "No, the identity of the Great Khan is naturally the most noble, but we are just a chamber of commerce and do not have the qualifications to contact the Great Khan."
"If the general can recommend us to the Great Khan, we will be very grateful. This is a great honor for our Qunying Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing this, Ashina Falcon couldn't help but ask: "Then what benefits can I get?"
The middle-aged man immediately expressed his position: "If the general can introduce us to the Khan, we will provide all services to the general free of charge."
Ashina Falcon suddenly became excited when he heard this.
The generals in the audience looked even more envious.
The introducer, Ba Ye, seemed to have seen the future of promotion.
Perhaps even Zhu Ying did not expect that his Qunying Chamber of Commerce would easily enter Timur's center of power.
At this moment, Zhu Ying was already preparing to return to Beijing.
