Seeing Jamuka's expression, Li Shuheng knew what the result would be.
The strength of their respective tribes such as Su Nang and Kankan Tada are not weak. The total number of string control warriors under them is not tens of thousands, but seven or eight thousand. With such a powerful force, Bu Shitu, the great Khan, can take them. There is no way, let alone control.
In the past, Shi Nang could not stop what Su Nang wanted to do. Only with the support of Namu'er from the Ulut tribe could Su Nang be suppressed. Even Bushi Tu's Khan position was only held by Namu'er's support. stable.
Huang Hong, who was sitting in the seat near the door, said: "I believe that the Great Khan does not want our Tiger Flag to be expelled from the grassland, otherwise the Taijis of the Su Nang family will benefit. Fan Yongdou has Su Su behind him. Sac support.”
Hearing this, Jamukha opened his mouth, wanting to defend the Great Khan, but he didn't know how to speak, because it was impossible for the people of the Tiger Flag to know what the Great Khan looked like.
Huang Hong ignored him and continued: "We, the Tiger Flag, have no knowledge of the Hatan Department's affairs. We, the Tiger Flag, will handle the matter at Fanji Company ourselves. I just hope that the Great Khan will not do anything like favoring one party." matter."
Jamukha glanced at Huang Hong.
He understood what the other party meant.
It is nothing more than the people of the Tiger Character Banner who hope that the Great Khan will not pursue the affairs of the Hatan Department, and the Tiger Character Banner will resolve the matter of Fan Fanji Company on its own.
Thinking of this, he knew that the Great Khan's idea of letting the Tiger Flag take out a portion of the profits was impossible to realize. After all, the Great Khan could not really force the Tiger Flag to leave the grassland unless a suitable replacement was found, and Fan Ji Company had always been with the Tiger Flag. Su Nang is on good terms with him, but Da Khan will not trust Fan Ji to cooperate with him.
Before big Ming merchants like Fan Ji and Hu Zi Qi came to the grassland to do business, the Great Khan had no choice but to cooperate with Hu Zi Qi.
"General Jamuka, what do you think?" Huang Hong asked.
Jamukha hesitated for a moment and said: "I will report this matter to the Khan truthfully. Of course, I also hope that the affairs of the Hatan Department have nothing to do with your company."
Hearing this, Huang Hong smiled.
He knew that since Jamuka said this, even if the Hatan tribe's affairs came to an end, the Great Khan would not continue to pursue the Hatan tribe's affairs.
Now is an important period for the Tiger Character Banner to expand its military camp, and he does not want to fall out with the Mongols so soon.
Li Shuheng, who was sitting behind the desk, said with a smile: "The general has had a hard time coming all the way from Qingcheng. We will stay and have dinner together later. I will ask someone to prepare a few more jars of sorghum brew. The general must drink a few more glasses."
"No, I have to go back to Qingcheng in a while, and the Great Khan is still waiting for my reply." Jamuhe refused Li Shuheng's request to stay with them for dinner.
Li Shuheng didn't take it seriously and said, "It doesn't matter. If you can't eat, you can take the wine with you. Don't forget to take it with you when the general returns."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Li."
This time Jamukha did not refuse. He liked the sorghum wine from Tiger Character Banner very much and believed that only this kind of strong wine was worthy of their Mongolian warriors.
Anzabu on the side looked at Jamuka and said, "General, let's go back now?"
"Since General Jamuka is in such a hurry to go back, I will send the general off and ask someone to prepare the wine." Li Shuheng stood up from behind the desk.
Jamukha made a Mongolian salute to Li Shuheng and said, "Jamukha has a heartless request. I hope Mr. Li can fulfill Jamukha's wish."
Li Shuheng was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "General Jamuka is going to..."
"When I came here, I saw that your company brought a lot of cannons. I hope to see them to satisfy my curiosity." Jamukha said his request.
"Can."
Li Shuheng nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
"That's great." Jamuhe said happily, "I have only seen it a few times from a distance below the city, and now I finally have the opportunity to see it up close."
Li Shuheng said to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Hong, take General Jamuka to see our artillery."
"Yes." Zhang Hong agreed, then turned around, made an invitation gesture towards Jamukha, and said, "General, please come with me."
Li Shuheng said with a smile: "I have something to do here, so I won't accompany the general. Zhang Hong is the camp commander here, and all the cannons are under his control. If the general has anything to say, just tell him."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Jamukha thanked him, and then said to Zhang Hong, "Thank you, Zhang Yingzheng."
Zhang Hong took Jamuhe and Anzabu out of the office.
Zhang Sancha in the room glanced at the backs of Zhang Hong and others leaving, and said to Li Shuheng: "Deputy Director, this batch of artillery was brought here by my subordinates, so I'd better ask my subordinates to accompany Zhang Yingzheng!"
Li Shuheng nodded and said, "Okay, you can go too!"
Seeing that Li Shuheng agreed, Zhang Sancha hurriedly chased Zhang Hong and others.
At this time, Huang Hong looked at Li Shuheng and said, "Did the deputy director deliberately let Jamuka and the others watch the artillery?"
"It can't be considered intentional." Li Shuheng said, "Before Jamuhe came, I was thinking of ways to scare these Mongols and make them more honest. Now Jamuhe has taken the initiative to take a look at our cannons, which can be regarded as following the trend. But for."
"It would be better if Zhang Yingzheng could fire a few shots in front of Jamuka." Huang Hong said with a smile.
Li Shuheng said: "Now is the critical period for our Tiger Flag. The Mongols can really be intimidated by our artillery, and they can be honest for a while to buy more time for Lingqiu."
"I'm afraid it's very difficult." Huang Hong shook his head slightly and said, "With the greed of the northern captives, they will never give up on us just because we have cannons. Otherwise, attacks on our convoys would not happen from time to time."
Li Shuheng tapped his fingers on the table, his voice deepened, and he said: "If they are still not honest, then pick another tribe to attack."
"I don't know if Beilu is dishonest, and Fan Yongdou is starting to get restless." Huang Hong said, "There is news from Datong. Fan Yongdou got a lot of grain, iron and other goods through Datong's patrol relationship. .”
Li Shuheng pinched the breath on his chin, frowned and said: "With the Datong patrol, I'm not surprised that Fan Ji bought goods such as grain and iron, but even if they have goods, aren't they afraid that they will be robbed by us after leaving the border fort? ?"
"The Foreign Intelligence Agency has not understood this," Huang Hong said. "Fan Yongdou has been buying and selling all kinds of goods that the Northerners need with great fanfare. It seems that he is not worried that the goods will have accidents on the grassland."
Li Shuheng thought for a while and said: "Your Foreign Intelligence Bureau should keep a close eye on this matter. Once Fan Yongdou's convoy appears on the grassland, we don't have to be polite and leave it to the armored cavalry battalion to handle it."
"Don't worry, Deputy Director. The Secret Service's spies in Datong are keeping an eye on it. As soon as Fan Ji's convoy leaves the border fortress, someone will immediately pass on the news." Huang Hong assured.
Li Shuheng nodded.
In the grassland, it is not just the Tiger Banner family that is smuggling with the Mongols. There are also some small caravans that secretly communicate with the tribes on the grassland. However, the only ones with real strength and influence are the Tiger Banner and Fanji Trading Company.
As the person in charge of the Tiger Character Banner on the grassland, he would never allow Fanji Company to return to the grassland and compete with the Tiger Character Banner for the business roads on the grassland.
