"Hey, Lord Tu, you are going to be Tu Xuance! I admire you, I admire you!"
Galdan was an educated Khan. He had been a great lama and was knowledgeable. He also knew Wang Xuance who borrowed troops to defeat the Tianzhu people.
But Tuhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't be Wang Xuance, and I won't take risks with your soldiers, so I will follow Kangxi Khan into Tianzhu."
Galdan was stunned, "Following into Tianzhu? Then there won't be much money. I can only pick up some leftovers from others."
"Why do you just eat the leftovers?" Tu Hai smiled, "I'm not a beggar."
Galdan smiled and said, "Master Tu, if you want to rush into Tianzhu first, of course you can grab a lot of money, but if you follow Kangxi Khan's rear... all the good stuff will be snatched by others. , can’t you just pick up what others don’t want?”
"Your Majesty!" Tu Hai said with a smile, "I am now an official of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is the Celestial Dynasty. How can the soldiers and horses of the Celestial Dynasty rob things?"
"Not robbing?" Galdan was stunned, "Yes, yes... How can it be called robbing when the heavenly soldiers take some of the Tianzhu people's property? That's a reward."
A cultured Khan can speak!
Tu Hai waved his hands and said: "I won't rob or take, let alone reward or accept anything. Heavenly soldiers don't do that."
"Then what are you going to do with your troops?" Galdan didn't understand. "You're not going to burn incense and learn Buddhist scriptures, are you? There are no Buddhist temples in Tianzhu now."
Tu Hai smiled and said: "I don't want to burn incense and worship Buddha." He looked at Galdan who was confused and said, "To be honest, I am here to help."
"Help?" Galdan didn't know why, "Help the people of Tianzhu?"
Tu Hai stretched out three fingers, made a gesture of counting money, and said with a smile: "As long as there is money to be made, I will help anyone!"
Galdan still didn't understand and looked at Tuhai blankly.
Tuhai saw that the stupid Galdan still didn't understand, so he explained to him with his fingers: "Your Majesty, listen to me...Kangxi Khan has now collected 200,000 troops, holding back I have a lot of energy to go to Tianzhu to grab things! But grabbing things is different from buying things. Grabbing may not be suitable for the same purpose. You can’t just grab what you need, right?”
"That's right!" Galdan nodded, "You can't be picky about robbing things... and you won't be paid anyway."
The Mongols are still the best at letting go and grabbing.
Tu Hai smiled and said: "Don't you have to sell the things that are not suitable for money, and then buy suitable things? This is where I want to help."
Galdan immediately understood. If you don't rob it yourself, you help the robbers sell the stolen goods, and maybe sell weapons and gunpowder... You might make more money than if you just rob it!
In fact, Tu Hai's method of "not responsible for grabbing, only responsible for after-snatching services" was learned from King Zhu. Although Zhu Heji's father had been a bandit in Danan Mountain, he made progress after changing his profession and becoming the Third Prince Zhu. His son thought he was a bad person and went around killing people and grabbing territory, but he thought he was a good person. He opened the Heavenly King's City and set up the Penglai Exhibition. All the guests came, and he took care of them all.
This method seems to only earn some good reputation, but it is not profitable at all. But as Tuhai, as the real estate owner of Dengzhou Tianwang City and Jinzhou Tianwang City, and an old depositor of Penglai Bank, could he still know that Zhu Tianwang had made enough money from these two Tianwang City? How much money is stored in Penglai Bank? What prices did the houses in the two Tianwang cities in Dengzhou and Jinzhou sell for?
In addition, all the branches of Tianwang Castle have been opened in Japan, and there are plans to open another "Northern King Castle" on the edge of Beihai... If this is not profitable, how can King Zhu Tian keep opening branches?
So Tu Hai finally understood that Zhu Heji, the "big bandit", had grabbed so much territory, but the real money in his hands was probably not as much as that of him who only had a few Tianwang cities!
Moreover, the business in Tianwang City is a matter of profit!
Others had to work hard to be greedy and risk their lives to grab it, so King Zhu Tian circled a few pieces of land...
What kind of vision did Tu Hai, who served as Kangxi's bachelor, have? Of course we know how good Zhu Tianwang’s business is. But he can't do this business even if he wants to... To do this business, he needs a son to be the emperor! Tuhai's son doesn't seem that capable.
So Tuhai could only be envious.
But this time he got the chance!
First, he can now pretend to be powerful and use the banner given to him by Zhu Heji to deceive people.
Second, didn't Zhu Heji ask him to find a way to send sweets to the Crimean Khanate? So Tu Hai was asked to get a caravan going to the west entrance and follow Galdan to Central Asia... It was a large caravan composed of five hundred camels, carrying a lot of silk and Two hundred thousand pounds of sugar!
These things are not given to the Ottoman Empire in vain. According to the agreement reached between Huang Zhisheng and the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, the cash-strapped Ottoman Empire can give them a down payment first, and pay back the rest after they capture Vienna.
Although there was only one first installment, the number was quite large, and the caravans brought by Tuhai were all recruited by himself - Zhu Heji did not have any merchants who could go to the west entrance, so they had to use Jin Yiwei and agents from the Yousi of the Military Advisor's Mansion. He can't do this either, and Tu Hai has connections in this area. Therefore, Tuhai could intercept the initial installment sent by the Crimean Khanate, plus his own caravan, plus the status given by the Ming Emperor, plus his connections in Mongolia, and the Gar The thugs provided by Dan can stabilize the "after-sales service" business.
When it comes to buying and selling, it becomes the "Indian Trading Company"!
Once the "Ming India Trading Company" sign is up, Ma Tuhai will be able to ask the Ming court or King Zhu Lai to take over the business, and he will be able to retire with the huge profits he has made.
When Galdan was sighing in his heart that Tuhai's calculations were good enough, the voice of his general Dugar Alabutan suddenly came from outside: "Great Khan, someone is coming from the palace... .The Emperor orders you to go drink in the Tashkent Palace."
"Drinking? Now?" Galdan was stunned. It was almost dark, but he was still going to drink... It couldn't be the Hongmen Banquet, right?
He had been instigated by Anukotun before and wanted to find an opportunity to kill Kangxi and become the Great Khan himself. But when we arrived in Tashkent, we realized we couldn't do this... Kangxi had an army of 150,000 men, and tens of thousands of scholars and brave men on the road. But Galdan only has 20,000 or so called 30,000 people, so he is no match for them in a fight!
Moreover, Galdan also discovered that Kangxi's army's combat readiness level was not low!
Although there were no hostile forces around Tashkent, Kangxi still had two circles of trenches dug outside Tashkent, a wall of sheep and horses was erected, a circle of wooden fences was erected, and many watchtowers and arrow towers were built. Four forts were built outside the four city gates of Tashkent.
In addition, Kangxi also concentrated his most trusted Qing Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners in the trenches outside Tashkent and set up camps. He also placed the camps of the Confucian Eight Banners and the Hui Eight Banners ten miles away from the north and south of Tashkent, forming a corner with Tashkent. Moreover, these two camps are also hard to shake!
So Galdan had to give up the adventure for the time being, but he was always worried about leaking the news and letting Kangxi kill him!
Although Galdan is still very careful about keeping secrets, his three confidant generals Dugar Alabutan, Denzin Omubu, and Danzila all know about his plan - Galdan has a total of five people under his command. In addition to these three tiger generals, there are also Anu Ketun and Cewang Alabutan, but Anu and Cewang are not following now.
Although these three confidants are all reliable, who knows if one of them drank too much and was about to spill the beans?
But Kangxi asked people to pass it on, and he didn't dare not go! If Kangxi had no evil intentions, wouldn't it arouse suspicion if he didn't go?
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find Kangxi for a drink.
