The two major tribes were used to being poor and suddenly became rich, so they liked to blindly pursue some products of the Ming Dynasty. They felt that all the products of the Ming Dynasty were extremely high-end no matter what they were.
But this is not the case at all.
For example, the so-called [Special Grade Green Salt·Sapphire Salt] is specially designed to deceive wealthy wealthy people.
This salt is not for eating at all, but the brushing salt used to clean teeth during the national hygiene campaign promoted by Su Yonglin.
In the pre-Tang Dynasty, this kind of green salt was indeed reserved for the royal family. It was expensive and an absolute luxury, and even ordinary officials could not afford it.
However, with the progress of the times and the innovation of salt-making technology, especially after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, salt has long been freed from the attribute of luxury goods. The very fine white salt only needs a very low price, let alone cleaning. Salt for teeth.
As a result, the god-level marketing masters of the Ministry of Finance fully understood the high-end needs and spiritual needs of the big prairie dog owners.
With a burst of extravagant deception, they succeeded in convincing the big-name purchasing group that the green salt used by people in the Ming Dynasty to brush their teeth was [super-grade green salt] specially used by the court and even the royal family. They also gave them the nickname [green jade salt], saying that this made them look more attractive. High-end, you can make more money.
Then the value of these "exclusively supplied" green salts immediately soared fifty-fold, taking on the style of exploiting the people with salt prices in the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties.
The same marketing techniques are used for soy sauce, Jiangnan rice, Jiangxi goats and Henan cattle.
These were actually relatively common existences in the Ming Dynasty, but in foreign trade, each of them had an extraordinary life experience and extraordinary uses compiled by the gods of the Ministry of Finance.
The gods of the Ministry of Finance talked eloquently, and successfully convinced the big buying group that these things were the best of the best [royal items].
As a result, the overall value of these products soared from thirteen to thirty-three times, and capitalists would kneel down and cry bitterly when they saw it.
It’s so profitable.
Seeing that the Ministry of Finance was making so much money, Su Yonglin was even a little worried, worried that the two tribes would be corrupted by this luxury and enjoyment, and then completely lose their combat effectiveness and ability to survive on the grassland.
By the way, under the corruption of such extravagant winds, can their cavalry still maintain the ferocity of the past? Can it still meet the combat effectiveness level required by the Ming Dynasty in its western expedition to Xiliao?
Thinking of the speed of light-speed decay after the Mongolian cavalry and the Manchu Eight Banners troops were at peace, Su Yonglin expressed doubts.
It was time to use troops soon, so he felt that it was necessary to send people to the Wanggu tribe and the Tata'er tribe to find out how much combat effectiveness their cavalry still had, and whether they could still bear the kind of battle Su Yonglin needed. Task.
If they are completely rotten and smelly, they have no use value.
As a result, before the joint military observation team from the General Staff Headquarters and the Privy Council set out, news came from the grassland that made Su Yonglin extremely depressed.
The Wanggu tribe and the Tataer tribe came to ask for help.
They were beaten by the alliance of tribesmen in the forest who attacked them from the south. They were in such a state of panic that they could no longer hold on and would be destroyed if they continued. So they had no choice but to seek help from Daming's father.
What a coincidence, what a coincidence. Su Yonglin rolled his eyes.
It is helpless to say that it is also luck.
The grassland climate has been relatively cold in the past few years, and it has been so cold since autumn this year that the nomadic people of the "Forest Tribe" who lived further north in the Wanggu and Tataer tribes who were expelled by Su Yonglin could not withstand the cold.
The cold wind was howling, the grass was no longer growing, and the cattle, sheep, and livestock were starving to death. If this continued, everyone was going to be hungry and cannibalistic. Unable to hold on any longer, they began to head south.
As they headed south, the first people they bumped into were the people from the Tata'er tribe and the Wanggu tribe.
Because in the expulsion war that year, the cavalry of the Wanggu tribe and the Tata'er tribe cooperated with the Ming army to give them a heavy blow, so they were so prestigious that the forest tribal alliance did not dare to act recklessly at first, so they negotiated and negotiated. Can they allocate a piece of grassland for hundreds of thousands of them to survive?
It doesn’t need to be too big, just enough to allow them to survive this cold winter. When spring comes next year, they will go north again and return to their hometown without stopping.
The leaders of the Wanggu tribe and the Tata tribe are so smart. Of course they know that if they have to rely on them, it will be extremely difficult to get them to leave. Grassland survival has always been the standard law of the jungle, without mercy. Say this.
So the two major tribes decisively refused. They controlled the prairie, which was rich in water and grass and had not been affected by the severe cold for the time being, and refused to allow the tribes in the forest to go south. They must go back.
The leaders of the tribal alliance in the forest begged hard, but the leaders of the Tata'er tribe and the Wanggu tribe resolutely refused to allow it. They also threatened them that if they dare to stay, they would be declaring war on the two major tribes. It's up to you.
The tribal alliance in the forest had no choice. Seeing that they could not reach an agreement, they all became hungry and anxious, and suddenly they became brave and brave, regardless of life and death.
Then let the fight begin!
What else is there to say?
The Tata'er tribe and the Wanggu tribe have been bullying others for a long time. With the Ming Dynasty behind them, they really thought they were very powerful. In addition, they were indeed very powerful in the past. They beat the people of these forest tribes. They dare not go south.
But at this moment, at that moment, the leaders and soldiers of the Wanggu tribe and the Tatar tribe were almost corrupted by the luxurious business life. The comfortable and luxurious days had been too long, and the bloody courage had disappeared. .
The weight of the chiefs and elite warriors continues to increase, and their riding and shooting skills are gradually weakening. In the past, they judged who was successful by who was stronger. Now they judge who is successful by who lives a more luxurious life. The survival of the two major tribes Values have undergone drastic changes.
In this case, they went to war with the ruthless people of the forest tribal alliance who were forced to retreat by the Siberian cold current.
The ruthless people made some trade-offs between being frozen to death by the cold current and being hacked to death, and felt that the probability of being frozen to death was higher.
So they decided to fight against the odds.
After the first battle, the cavalry of the Tata'er tribe was the first to be defeated. More than 3,000 people bullied 800 people, and 800 people were shot to pieces with mounted fire. Only 3,000 to 500 people fled back in embarrassment.
The Tatar people saw that this was not going to work and they were losing face, so they gathered more than 10,000 cavalry to find a place, and they made a grand display, showing that they were the only ones in the world.
As a result, they were defeated by more than 5,000 cavalry from the forest tribal alliance.
The Tatar people couldn't bear it anymore and quickly asked Wang Gu's tribe for help.
The Wanggu tribe laughed at the Tatar people for being incompetent, and sent out 10,000 cavalry to find a place. As a result, after a big battle, the Wanggu tribe's cavalry were pressed to the ground and rubbed, and the 10,000 people fled back. More than 3,000 people fled, and more than half of them were not captured. To be hacked to death means to be a prisoner.
After three consecutive defeats by the ruthless tribesmen in the forest, the Wanggu tribe and the Tata'er tribe were stunned, and they couldn't believe when they had become so good.
The people of the tribe in the forest didn't expect them to fight so smoothly. After being confused for a while, they almost couldn't believe it - it turns out that the Wanggu tribe and the Tata'er tribe are now empty frames?
Once fear deterrence fails, it will not be easy to reinvent it.
The tribal alliance in the forest immediately gained confidence and began to press forward step by step. They continued to move south and carried out large-scale burning, killing and looting of the settlements of the two major tribes encountered along the way. The two major tribes suffered heavy losses, but many organized counterattacks failed. Declare failure.
Being beaten unilaterally is a yes.
Now the fat heads of the two tribes were panicking. They thought about it but couldn't do anything. They couldn't fight and fight, and they couldn't run away. They could only cry to Dad Ming for help with a shy face——
Dad, someone is bullying me, come and save me!
