Just as Liu Mingzhi washed away the tiredness of a sleepless night with the cold water sent by his own soldiers, the sounds of cluttered footsteps sounded outside the tent, getting closer and closer.
"We are here under orders to see the commander-in-chief!"
"We are here under orders to see His Majesty!"
The titles of General Dalong and the generals of Jin and Tu were completely different, and Liu Mingzhi did not care about these minor differences in titles.
"Forget all the false etiquette. From now on, you can just call me Marshal in the army. I came to you today to discuss something!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Liu Mingzhi walked to the desk, sorted out the educational strategies he had written on the desk overnight, grabbed them in his hand and walked out of the tent.
"Let's go, let's enjoy the snowy scenery on the grassland and discuss matters at the same time."
"I have the order, Commander-in-Chief, please!"
"Song Qing Dynasty, Wanyan is the most powerful, Hu Yanyu."
"The general is here!"
"You each give orders to the officers and soldiers of the three armies to freely go out of the camp, play snowball fights together, and compete in wrestling, horseback riding and archery skills.
Let the soldiers from the three countries get together to get acquainted with each other and keep in touch with each other.
From now on, we will all be brothers who eat from the same pot, and we cannot stay apart from each other as before. "
Song Qing, Wanyan Chiezha, and Hu Yanyu looked at each other.
"I have the order! I'll be waiting for you to leave!"
The Queen followed closely behind Liu Mingzhi and tugged on Young Master Liu's sleeve, her eyes full of concern.
"You haven't slept all night, can your body handle it? How about I prepare some thin porridge for you first to nourish your stomach?"
"It's okay, let's finish the business first."
"Okay! I'll listen to you politely."
Not long after Liu Mingzhi and his party left the military camp, deafening shouts of excitement came from the camps in three directions.
Although Liu Mingzhi could not understand the words of the two countries, he could feel the excitement and excitement of the soldiers of the two countries from their voices.
After walking for about dozens of steps, the densely packed soldiers at the gates of the three camps ran out one after another towards the outside of the camp, shouting and rushing towards the endless snowfield.
Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked at the soldiers who were fighting in a group and attacking each other with snowballs. He put a happy smile on his face and raised his finger to point to the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms who were still distinct for the time being.
"Guess how long it will take for them to play together?"
Huyan Yunyao was silent for a while: "If there is a leader, we should be able to play together in about half an hour.
Although only a few soldiers can speak each other's language, the tempers between soldiers can quickly blend together. "
"Half an hour, then let's find a higher place to wait and see!"
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he walked slowly through the snow. A group of generals also looked away from the dense crowd and slowly followed behind.
“The snow on the grassland came very quickly. Just a few days after winter started, it was covered with heavy snow.
It is estimated that it is almost there in the Kingdom of Jin. In northern Xinjiang, it will have to wait a few days or about half a month before snow falls.
The snow fell suddenly. Not only did I politely tell my junior brother and you two, but also the military supplies for the soldiers to keep out the cold were not prepared in time, right?
However, even though you didn't prepare in time, you still carry all your belongings with you. You should have plenty of spare warm clothes and leather goods now! "
The Queen, Hu Yanjunyao and the generals from Jin and Tu countries looked at each other and instantly understood what Liu Mingzhi meant.
"We have been fighting for so many years among the Three Kingdoms, business travel has been cut off, and we, the Turkic people, have quite a lot of fur goods stored in our hands. What do you mean, senior brother?"
“It’s good to be rich. The first snowfall was so heavy, and the subsequent snowfalls will probably be even worse.
Leather goods such as sheepskin and cowhide are used to keep out the cold and indeed keep warm. However, without being cut by a tailor, they cannot protect every part of the soldiers' bodies that may be frostbitten like clothing.
You Turks are rich in fur goods, but the war of attrition has been going on for so long, so there probably won’t be much food or anything else.
It happened that my brother had plenty of food and grass.
The purpose of being a brother is to choose a place where the soldiers of the three countries can freely trade the goods that each other needs.
The food, spices, wine, and cloth in our rations are all needed by the Turkic soldiers.
Let them trade freely, whether bartering for goods or buying gold and silver.
As long as we can get what each other needs.
From now on we are all a family, and sharing what we need is the first step to peaceful coexistence in the future. "
Huyan Junyao thought for a moment and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, Junyao can immediately send people to send messages to the people of various tribes, asking them to bring their stored leather goods and excess dried meat to trade here."
"To put it bluntly, you have almost exhausted the food here, right? The year before last, you had to leave the capital of the Kingdom of Jin and move to the grassland.
The grain in the Kingdom of Jin has been collected by the people who came back from their ancestral land, and most of it is in the hands of the people without paying taxes.
The national treasury has no income for a year, it is all consumed, and your food supply should be empty now.
We have almost run out of food, but the warm clothes you have in hand are more than enough.
It's better to let the soldiers freely trade the items they need with Dalong's soldiers. "
The Queen thought for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi curiously: "Is it the same as the border trade market outside Yingzhou City?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently: "Yes! It's just like the mutual market."
"Okay, I understand politely, I will make arrangements."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at Zhang Kuang, Yun Chong, Nangong Ye...these generals of the Great Dragon.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, General Dongfang, you go back and give the orders.
This trade is different from commercial trade, so soldiers must not be cautious and make profits from it!
The goods are genuine and fair, everyone gets what they need.
You must remember these sixteen words when doing business with the soldiers and people of the two countries. "
"We have the order, Commander, please rest assured."
Liu Mingzhi nodded, raised his hand and waved the rice paper in his hand to the Queen and Huyan Yunyao, looking around at the generals of the Three Kingdoms indifferently.
"The transaction was an impromptu idea of mine. If you all agree, there will be no problem. Now it's time to get down to business.
Now that the world is unified, wars have ceased.
It’s time for me to return the troops and return to the imperial court. After all, an army of nearly one million people consumes an astronomical amount of food and grass every day.
The fighting has ceased, and as they sit idle on the grassland, it's time for those misers in the household department to scold their mothers again.
The world is unified, and the three kingdoms return to the dragon.
From now on, there will no longer be a Kingdom of Jin, and there will be no more Turks. All of them will be Dalong’s soldiers and subjects.
In order to eliminate the barriers and language barriers between each other as soon as possible.
This time when my commander returns to the court, he plans to bring back half of the generals and troops under your command.
Let them follow the army to settle in six cities in northern Xinjiang and disperse into twenty-seven mansions to learn Chinese and become familiar with the life of the Han family.
The six-city middle school field was limited in scope, and there were suddenly an additional three hundred thousand soldiers. It was not a problem for a short time, but it would be overcrowded for a long time.
Therefore, I plan to select three guards from each of the six guards of the New Army and the six guards of Northern Xinjiang.
Let them follow you back to the territory of the Jin Kingdom and to station in the territory of the Turks respectively.
It can not only teach the Han customs and culture to the soldiers of the two countries, but also promote the love between each other.
At the same time, you can also become familiar with your living customs and lay a foundation for peaceful coexistence in the future.
After the half of the soldiers who returned to Dalong with the army were thoroughly familiar with Dalong's customs, they would then switch and station each other, and let the remaining half of the troops return to Dalong.
Get them together as quickly as possible.
For the sake of peaceful coexistence in the future, I have no objection to my arrangement with you two, junior brother, right? "
The Queen and Hu Yanjunyao looked at Liu Mingzhi's soft eyes, looked at each other and nodded with a wry smile.
"No objection, I'll let you decide."
The two women felt the same as Ming Jing. The idea of integrating together as soon as possible and the idea of learning Dalong culture to lay the foundation for peaceful coexistence in the future were just superficial excuses.
What Liu Mingzhi is really worried about is that after his troops return to the court, the troops of the two countries will go back on their word and start fighting again.
This arrangement not only divided their forces first, but also set a nail in the foundation of the two of them.
It completely eliminated the possibility that the two countries, Jin Tu and Tu, would try to restore themselves after the Dalong troops returned to the court.
However, the two women did not feel dissatisfied.
Not to mention Liu Mingzhi, if either of them wins, it is also impossible to let hundreds of thousands of brave and capable soldiers return to their original territory without any shackles.
Liu Mingzhi had already seen from the expressions of the empress and the generals of Jin and Tu that they had understood his true intention.
He chuckled and nodded and said no more: "This is the arrangement for now. We will discuss some follow-up issues carefully on the way back to Beijing."
"Okay, it's up to you."
"arrogant, Nangong Ye, Dongfang Ming!"
"The general is here!"
"It's up to you three to help the Jin Kingdom's soldiers become familiar with Dalong culture as soon as possible. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to celebrate the New Year this year.
I feel wronged to you. If you need anything, just ask. I will do whatever I can to help you. "
"We have no request."
"Chu Jing, Feng Buer, Ning Chao."
"The general is here!"
"It's all your hard work on the grassland!"
"We have the order!"
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and looked at the rice paper in his hand, stuffed it into his arms, raised his eyes and glanced at the soldiers huddled together having a snowball fight several miles away, and let out a long breath.
"Send the order, trade for three days, and return to the court!"
"We take the order!"
