After listening to Huang Yi's story, Gou'er knew that Huang Yi specifically asked the leader for his big-eyed best friend.
He quietly went to take a look, and just happened to see Huang Yi talking and laughing with Huang Dayong's mother and son, and saw Huang Dayong eating meat and soup.
That kind of family atmosphere made him envious, and he thought the big-eyed new master was so nice.
This child had a quick mind and thought that he should fight for himself, so he kowtowed and asked Huang Yi to take him in.
Manpower is so important, the more the merrier, Huang Yi couldn't ask for it, but it seems he can't make the decision!
Huang Yi pondered: "This..., I already want two servants, it's hard to ask for more!"
These words were not Huang Yi's prevarication, but Huang Yi discovered that Hedanbaat'er's tribe was relatively poor. Hedanbaat'er, the boss, probably had less than ten servants in his family.
He originally sent a servant to repay his kindness, but then he shamelessly asked for one.
If you ask for someone again, this will be the third one, which is really shameless.
Huang Dayong spoke and said: "Master, the dog does not belong to Master Hedanbaat'er's family, but to Master Geleng's family. Master Geleng has five slaves!"
"Oh? That would be even more difficult. I don't even know who Ge Erleng is. How could they give me a slave?"
The dog didn't speak, but kept kowtowing.
This child should be older than Huang Dayong. Keeping him with him for training for a year or two will definitely make a big difference.
Huang Yi remembered that he had some silver and copper coins in his hand and asked:
"Dayong, can you buy and sell slaves here?"
"Master, you don't need to spend money or copper coins to buy things here, you just exchange them for things!"
"Can I exchange things for dogs?"
"Of course you can. I guess Master Geerleng will like that leather armor?"
Huang Yi was so smart that he immediately realized that Huang Dayong wanted his friend to be taken in as well, and clearly informed him of the things that could be exchanged.
He wondered: "Really? Is leather armor very valuable here?"
"Well! It's not just valuable, it can save lives."
Huang Yi thought of the scene of shooting two knights wearing leather armor, and laughed: "Haha, if leather armor can really save lives, then I will be dead a long time ago, hahaha..."
The two teenagers were confused by Huang Yi's sudden laughter.
Huang Yi did not explain, pointed forward and said to the dog: "Let's go, you lead the way, let's go talk to Geereng."
Huang Yi is the savior of the tribe leader and a warrior who killed two knights. He is not lacking in face and dignity.
When Geerleng saw Huang Yi visiting, he was briefly surprised and immediately warmly invited Huang Yi to sit down and have a cup of milk tea.
When Huang Dayong told Geerleng that Huang Yi was going to trade a pair of leather armor for Gou'er, a slave, Geerleng's mouth opened wide.
Huang Yi thought Geerleng was unwilling, but he thought he was making a lot of money and was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Of course the Geereng family has armor. When he participated in fighting in the past, Geereng always wore two layers of armor.
Now that's no longer possible, because their tribe has been losing battles frequently in the past two or three years.
Winning the battle is adding up, and you will get more equipment the more you win.
Defeating a battle is definitely a matter of subtraction. Materials gradually become scarce and the battle becomes weaker.
Geereng has two daughters and three sons. The youngest son is fifteen years old. He can also fight on horseback and most desires to own a pair of armor.
Geereng thought that he was proficient in bow and horse, and his three sons were also good cavalrymen and good archers. If they were all equipped with two layers of armor, they would be able to escape unharmed even if they were unable to win against Jiannu.
Therefore, his family is in need of life-saving armor, so the more the better.
Trading a slave for a pair of leather armor is such a good thing!
Next, Geerling came to Huang Yi's yurt and carefully selected it. He was in a dilemma.
Seeing the way Ge Erleng looked at the leather armor, Huang Yi almost waved his hand boldly and asked Ge Erleng to take away the two pairs of ugly leather armors.
In fact, this is because Huang Yi does not understand the specific situation.
At this time, the prairie soldiers were fighting endlessly. The vast majority of herdsmen were getting poorer and poorer. It was a natural law that the poorer they got, the more they fought.
Because there is not enough to eat, we have to find ways to steal from others.
Therefore, armor is so important. A knight like Geereng who wears leather armor can easily defeat three knights without armor who are similar in strength to him.
If Geereng wears two layers of leather armor, he may win when shooting against the Jiannu cavalry. After all, the Mongols' cavalry archery is stronger than the Jiannu cavalry.
The Mongols have been unable to defeat Jiannu over the years not only because they are scattered and disunified, but also because they are too poor, have poor military discipline, and have poor equipment. Some Mongolian cavalrymen have very few iron arrows and often use bone arrowheads for hunting.
However, Jiannu adhered to the military-first ideology of Wild Boar Pinurhaci, and everything he did was to develop the army. He trained his team and accumulated capital through fighting to support war.
At present, the bannermen of the Jiannu can basically be equipped with cotton armor and iron armor. Instead of direct shooting at close range with strong bows, the diffuse arrows can basically not cause damage to the Jiannu.
The two armies are fighting, and one's side cannot shoot the opponent. If the opponent shoots accurately, his mentality will immediately collapse. How can we fight this battle?
This is the fundamental reason why the Mongols were defeated again and again in the war with the Jiannu.
History records that the thirteen armors of the wild boar Pinur Hachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. Why is it not mentioned how many people there were and how much territory they had? This is enough to show how important armor was at that time.
What is a win-win situation?
This time the slave trade is a complete win-win.
Huang Yi was filled with joy when he got a fifteen-year-old boy, while Geer was stunned when he got a pair of armor and a mouth to eat. He felt like he was dreaming.
Just when Huang Yi asked about the origin of the dog, the whole tribe started talking!
Too many Mongolian knights thought that the Han man was as stupid as a pig. A young and middle-aged slave could exchange at most seven or eight sheep at the market. It would be good to give a thin Han boy four or five sheep.
A pair of leather armor cannot be exchanged for three cows, because this thing has a price but no market. There is no Mongolian trade for life-saving armor. This thing is kept as an heirloom.
What happened next made Huang Yi stunned.
A dozen knights came, and without exception they all brought their servants, both men and women. They all asked to exchange the servants they brought for Huang Yi's remaining leather armor.
The wisdom of modern people is not given in vain. Huang Yi immediately understood that the business just now was a loss and he had been taken advantage of.
It was not too late to make amends, so he sat down and raised the price, asking for a pair of leather armor in exchange for two young slaves.
Facts have proved that the leather armor is very tempting, and Huang Yi's asking price is not high. Unfortunately, there are not many Han boys in the tribe, only four in total who are about the same age as Huang Dayong.
There was no choice, because Huang Yi was too young and couldn't take it for the time being. Those who were a few years older were strong laborers, and they didn't bring them at all.
In the end, Gou Shengzi and Wang San, two children who were even thinner than Huang Dayong, were accepted by Huang Yi.
The two children do not belong to the same owner, but this does not affect the transaction.
As for which family left the leather armor and which family received the compensation, Huang Yi didn't need to ask.
