Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 447
It is becoming more and more difficult for the doves to survive on the grassland, not because of the shortage of living materials.

They advocate peaceful treatment of Beiyan and they have a deep deal with Beiyan.

All kinds of special products on the grassland were exchanged for various living materials, so they were less affected by horse plague.

It is precisely for this reason that they have become coveted by people from tribes larger than them or tribes of the same level.

According to Wusu's knowledge, some small tribes of the Dove faction have been annexed one after another. Although I haven't heard of any medium-sized tribes being annexed, it will be their turn when the small tribes are almost eaten up.

For this reason, the Qingyang tribe must plan ahead.

He will choose a proper place to store the daily necessities purchased this time.

At the same time, on the surface, we also need to change our dovish approach, train troops similar to heavy cavalry, and make it look like they are ready to go south at any time. Of course, we must use a lot of resources to bribe some big tribes. If possible, it is best to Get close to the thigh of a certain member of the Golden Family, so that the Qingyang tribe should not be threatened by any fatal threat.

It's a pity that Qingyang Tribe's things are limited, otherwise Wusu wouldn't have had any competition to choose three trading guilds. If he had enough supplies in his hands, he would like to buy all the eight guilds who came here. Come down and make a lot of money.

However, sometimes there is a gap between reality and ideals, so let’s go through this level first.

However, Wusu might not have thought that his own arrangement, which he could only discuss with the core figures in the tribe, would be so confused by his own daughter, Wusu, who would be coaxed by Tian Buqi's words, and would give it away at the slightest temptation. Speak up.

It is said that the married daughter splashed water. This Wuna is not married yet, but she just fell in love with Tian Buqi subjectively, and she took the initiative to disclose all these to Tian Buqi if she wanted him to be her lover.

Is this considered Tian Buqi's treachery?Of course not, this is what the girl said, so what does it have to do with Tian Buqi?

But Wuna still made a promise to Tian Buqi that she would find a way to talk to Wusu and save some for Tian Buqi. Of course, the price is that Tian Buqi needs to stay here with Wuna for two days to play.

Compared to the value of a batch of goods, playing with a girl for two days is simply not worth it.

Of course Tian Buqi agreed.

Everyone had been eating, drinking and having fun until very late before returning to their residence. After Tian Buqi drank some hangover soup, he found Chen Zheng and revealed the news to Chen Zheng.

At the same time, the two also felt that the northern Xinjiang grassland was going to change again this time. Although the direction of thinking of the two people was different, the general result was the same.

The horse plague indeed prevented the grassland people in northern Xinjiang from going south as per previous years' habits, affecting the combat effectiveness of their troops and delaying their attack.

But the same prairie people will not sit still, plunder is the best method, and now that they do not hesitate to use various small tribes on the prairie to make up for their losses, they know that they will not be safe.

One or two small tribes are okay, but if the number of times is too high, it will definitely cause panic among the lower tribes. In order to stabilize the ruling structure of the grassland, and to be able to divert the panic of the small tribes from the big tribes.

The prairie people will definitely transform internal conflicts into external conflicts, and use war to divert the hatred of small tribes towards them.

The targets of the prairie people's war are nothing more than the various countries in the Western Regions, or they are going south and north.

Although their horses had problems, the people were still there.

When people are faced with life or death, they can do anything.

If these big tribes lure these small tribes to go south after exploiting those small tribes, needless to say, there must be countless small tribes fighting for them, although this is forced.

These small tribes are weak, and there is no way to resist in the face of larger tribes.

As for uniting to fight against large tribes, if it is a medium tribe, you can fight a dozen.

If it is a large tribe, there is no possibility at all, and the strength of the two is not at the same level.

Leaving aside the difference in cultivation between the two parties, let's talk about the number of people.

Small tribes can pull out teams of hundreds and thousands, which is already their full combat power, and it is easy for large tribes to pull out teams of [-].

And that's not counting their slaves.

If a small tribe wants to resist a big tribe, the only result is to be exterminated. The young and middle-aged will be killed, the slaves will be slaves, and the old will be thrown into the wild. Women and children will be taken away as the strengths of the big tribe .

They can only choose to obey and choose to settle down.

But what to do if there is no food for the winter?Someone in the tribe is about to starve to death. What can the small tribe do? Where can they migrate to?
The grassland is so big, and there are only so many grasslands, cattle, sheep, and water sources, and they will not suddenly change out. In the end, they have no choice but to find another way.

And at this time, there is not much need for the convening of the big tribe.

They will very consciously move closer to the border of Beiyan, and then find a way to sneak into Beiyan's territory secretly to rob various resources.

The Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang defends an important pass in the north. The purpose is to prevent the army of grassland people from going south. As for one or two hundred people sneaking across the border, it is difficult to find them. If a patrol team encounters them, they may attack them, otherwise It's really hard to deal with.

As for why these small tribes did not go to the countries of the Western Regions, one of the main reasons is that the distance is too far and there is not enough time.

In comparison, Beiyan is close, and the difficulty of sneaking in is not high.

There are not many people in the small tribe, so they can sneak into the territory of Beiyan with a team of a hundred people, only attack some villages, and stay away from cities and so on. If they are lucky, they will also gain a lot of money.

Of course, with more and more incidents like this, the army in the north of Beiyan has to make corresponding deployments, and this will also affect part of their energy. Often at this time, the large tribes of grassland people are waiting for this time Come attack.

It's not that I want to snatch anything, it's just to reduce some unnecessary population and reduce expenses.

It may sound unbelievable to many Central Plains people, but in the eyes of grassland people, this is a very normal thing.

Food is in short supply and there are too many mouths to eat. The simplest solution is of course not to make it too troublesome to buy food. Of course, it is easiest to simply reduce the number of mouths to eat.

As long as the extra people die, won't the rest be able to eat and survive?

Of course, if they are lucky enough to break through, they will drive straight in and plunder.

Once the prairie people set off another wave of attack, it will have a certain influence on both Tian Buqi and Chen Zheng.

Once the two sides started a war, the members of Lian's Chamber of Commerce would almost never run north again. One was afraid of being framed, and they would be accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and offending the Beiyan court.

As the Chamber of Commerce in Beiyan, although they are very influential, they are only merchants, and their strength is really not enough to compete with the imperial court.

On the other hand, once the war broke out, the grassland would not be safe.

After doing business with the grassland people for so many years, the Lian Chamber of Commerce has figured out the urine properties of the grassland people.

It's okay when there is no war, but once there is a war, it will always trip them up in the dark.

The strongholds of the Chamber of Commerce in the resident of various major tribes will not have any influence.

But the caravans along the way suffered a lot.

If I want to ask these people for an explanation, they will only say that they are horse thieves and so on.

In fact, everyone knows that some are cavalry from some tribes, and all the grassland people are white-eyed wolves. They don't remember how many benefits the Lian Chamber of Commerce has given them, but will try their best to squeeze them out. .

Is a group as big as the Lian Chamber of Commerce swallowing it like this?Can Lian Changsheng bear it?Just looking at the loss of goods and manpower for nothing?I really have to endure it.

The foundation of Lian's Chamber of Commerce was to rely on various special products from the grasslands.

And these special products are rare in the hands of some small tribes, not many, most of them are in the hands of those big tribes.

Even though Lian's Chamber of Commerce has carried out so many businesses up to now, the products with the largest volume and the most income are still the products of the grassland.

It can be said that the foundation of the Lian's Chamber of Commerce is still in these grassland specialties. If they conflict with those big tribes, the Lian's Chamber of Commerce will definitely be injured.

They are the suppliers, and they have firmly monopolized the special products of the grassland. Lian's Chamber of Commerce can only choose to endure.

Lian Changsheng hoped that the prairie people would die as soon as possible, so that their chamber of commerce would no longer be oppressed.

However, it is not a matter of a day or two to eliminate the prairie people, nor is it something that a chamber of commerce can do.

Now it seems that Beiyan is the most likely.

Therefore, the relationship between Lian's Chamber of Commerce and the court is very good. After all, both of them have enemies that need to be dealt with together. An enemy's enemy is a friend. In recent years, Lian's Chamber of Commerce has secretly provided a lot of assistance to Beiyan's military. In terms of materials or intelligence.

As long as you can endure the pain for a while, there will always be a day when it will be resolved.

Lian Changsheng once succumbed to the slave owner in order to gain freedom, but now he can swallow his humiliation to the large tribe of grassland people for the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

Tian Buqi, whether as the manager of a caravan of the Lian Chamber of Commerce or as a son-nephew of Company Changsheng, had to support Company Changsheng's decision.

For Chen Zheng, this probably means the end of his leisurely time. Maybe after Chen Zheng returns this time, the entire Jianzhou Military Intelligence Department will be active, and Yan Xuelan must be here. If you take some action, will you enter the stage of combat preparation when you go back?

Also about the situation on the prairie this time, after Chen Zheng left Tian Buqi's tent, he immediately started writing letters, writing what he saw and heard during this period and some speculations about the prairie people. on the letter.

Then Hu Chun was called and asked him to go and pass the letter back to Yan Xuelan as soon as possible.

Because it is related to the speculation of the prairie people, this letter must be handed over to Yan Xuelan.

For this reason, Chen Zheng also sent three people, Zhao Wen, Zhao Wu, and Dong Yang, to accompany Hu Chun to Luanfeng City. They had to be fast along the way, and they could directly use the horses at the post station along the way with the warrants of the Operation Team of the Military Intelligence Department.

This letter cannot be lost.

Hu Chun nodded, and left that night with the other three.

Although the people of the Qingyang Tribe were a little confused as to why some of them ran away early, they were all members of the Lian's Chamber of Commerce (because Chen Zheng and the others concealed their identities and claimed that they were all subordinates of the Lian's Chamber of Commerce). Lots of blocking.

The next day is the day of the transaction. According to the quota of the transaction, the people from the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce will go first, and then the people from the Lianshi Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Zheng didn't have much interest in the content of the transaction, as long as Icefield Hanzhu got his hands, he simply didn't look at it. He was too shy to buy anything, and to be honest, he still had less knowledge, even if it was With heaven, material and earth treasures in front of him, Chen Zheng wouldn't be able to say one, two, three without the systematic cheating item interface.

As for picking up leaks, it's impossible. If it's a street stall, Chen Zheng might go to see him.

This is a large transaction, and every cent of the goods has to be inspected, and it is impossible to find leaks.
Chen Zheng and Zhao Ying stayed in the resident to relax, finally being able to relax openly, such opportunities are rare.

When I get back, I'm going to get busy.

The first thing is to let the people of the Crow Chamber of Commerce pay attention, and stop doing business on the grasslands. The next time is mainly to develop in the inland direction.

As for why Chen Zheng didn't ask the people from the Crow Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the news, it's entirely because they are still very weak, and it's not the time for them to go deep into the grassland to inquire about the news. They just did a little work in Jianzhou and wanted to dream Going to play on the grassland is simply a wave.

Chen Zheng would not let the Crow Crow Chamber of Commerce, which he had just established with some improvement, die prematurely because of a wrong order.

There are ready-made, well-developed Embroidered Clothes Guards and the Military Intelligence Department, and it is not yet the turn of the people from the Crow Chamber of Commerce to do these things.

What Chen Zheng and Zhao Ying are studying is how to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the scope of the Crow Crow Chamber of Commerce, not to mention the entire northern part of Beiyan, how can it be achieved in Jianzhou.

One must know that in the system space last night, Chen Zheng had already received good news. The Variety Girl had successfully broken through to the early stage of the Xiantian Realm, and she was also the first warrior among Chen Zheng's knights to step into the Xiantian Realm.

Originally, in the previous conflict with other people, Baibian Jiaoniang was injured a lot, but during the recovery period, he realized something. Not only did he recover from the injury, but he finally found the way to the Xiantian Realm. After several days of retreat and polishing, Finally became a congenital realm warrior.

Chen Zheng was also happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, I also feel a little emotional, as expected, the knights summoned by these systems are all extraordinary, they are only restricted by that secret realm, otherwise they would have soared into the sky long ago.
