Chen Guangyu looked disappointed.
Before coming from Banshengdi, he thought that with Yang Jing coming forward, the people of the Tiger-Character Flag would look out for Yang Jing's face and escort their family back to the Ming Dynasty. However, he never expected that the Tiger-Character Flag would no longer have a convoy to return to Datong. .
Yang Jing looked at Wu Jingyan and said, "It is too dangerous for Brother Chen and his family to stay in Bansheng. Is it really impossible for the Tiger Character Flag to send their family back to the Ming Dynasty?"
Wu Jingyan shook his head.
"Brother Yang, forget it, don't embarrass shopkeeper Wu anymore, this is fate." Chen Guangyu sighed.
Without the help of the Tiger Flag, it would be difficult for their family to return to the Ming Dynasty from under the eyes of the Mongols, and the whole family would have to eat and drink in the Ming Dynasty.
After coming to the grassland for so many years, his relationship with the Ming Kingdom has long been severed. Even if his family returns to the Ming Kingdom safely, they will still have to rely on the Tiger Flag to survive.
Wu Jingyan took a sip of the hot water in the tea cup, swallowed it, and said, "Actually, I have a way to ensure the safety of Shopkeeper Chen and his family, but I need to leave Banshengdi."
"Shopkeeper Wu, is there a way for me to return to Ming Dynasty?" Chen Guangyu's eyes lit up.
Wu Jingyan shook his head and said: "In the past, shopkeeper Chen could have returned to the Ming Dynasty with the convoy of the tiger-character flag at any time. Now Su Nang wants to attack our tiger-character flag. The Mongolian army has gathered near Bansheng City. The tiger-character flag Once the convoy appears on the Tumut grassland, it will definitely become Su Nang's target, so it is not safe for Shopkeeper Chen to return to the Ming Dynasty at this time."
Hearing this, Chen Guangyu looked disappointed.
Yang Jing on the side said: "What did shopkeeper Wu mean when he told Brother Chen to leave Banshengdi just now?"
Wu Jingyan stroked his beard and said: "It is not possible to send shopkeeper Chen back to the Ming Dynasty for the time being, but shopkeeper Chen can come to Qingcheng or live in the Dunbao in Daheihe. And as long as shopkeeper Chen is willing, I, Tiger Character Flag, can immediately Arrange for someone to send shopkeeper Chen and his family to Daheihe Dunbao."
Chen Guangyu said with a wry smile: "Su Nang's army is about to attack your company in Daheihe Dunbao. If I go there at this time, there is no difference between me going there and dying."
In his heart, he was not optimistic that the people with the tiger-shaped flag could hold the fort at Dahei River.
Wu Jingyan was not annoyed when he heard this.
There are too many people on the grassland who are not optimistic about their Tiger Flag to guard Daheihe Dunbao, including Chen Guangyu.
Yang Jing on the side said: "Shopkeeper Wu, I know you have good intentions, so I thought of sending Brother Chen and his family to Daheihe Dunbao, but Brother Chen's worry is not unreasonable. After all, the grassland belongs to the Mongols. Territory.”
In his words, he was vaguely optimistic about the Tiger Flag's defense of Daheihe Dunbu.
Wu Jingyan smiled lightly and said, "Since Shopkeeper Chen doesn't want to live in my bunker in Tiger Flag, you can come to Qingcheng and I can arrange a courtyard for Shopkeeper Chen and his family to stay temporarily."
"Is there any difference between living in Qingcheng and Banshengdi? They are not all Mongolian places." Yang Jing said with a frown.
Chen Guangyu on the side nodded in agreement.
"There are still some differences." Wu Jingyan said, "Banshengdi is next to Bansheng City, and Su Nang's Mongolian soldiers can go there at any time. But it is different here in Qingcheng. With Shitu Khan here, Su Nang can't Dare to act recklessly, and as long as our tiger-character flag guards the fortress of Daheihe, shopkeeper Chen and his family can live safely in Qingcheng."
Chen Guangyu held the teacup in his hand, hesitant on his face.
When he stayed in Banshengdi, he still had a shop, but when he arrived in Qingcheng, he had nothing.
Yang Jing on the side looked at Chen Guangyu and said, "Brother Chen, what do you think? Should I stay in Banshengdi or come to Qingcheng? If I come to Qingcheng, you can stay at my house."
Wu Jingyan on the other side picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, waiting for Chen Guangyu's choice.
Chen Guangyu hesitated for a moment and said, "My shop is in Banshengdi. If I come to Qingcheng, my whole family will have no means of making a living."
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Jingyan.
Wu Jingyan naturally knew what he meant, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Yang Jing, who was sitting aside, turned the tea cup in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Chen, why not run my shop in Qingcheng with me? It will make it easier for me to have one more person to help me."
"Is this good?" Chen Guangyu said hesitantly.
Yang Jing said with a smile: "We have known each other for so many years. When did I lie to you, Brother Chen? As long as you come to Qingcheng, Brother Chen, I am willing to run my shop with you."
"This..." Chen Guangyu still hesitated.
Yang Jing's shop in Qingcheng was running well. He felt that if he agreed to this matter, it would be too much of an advantage to Yang Jing.
Wu Jingyan, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, said at this time: "Shopkeeper Chen came to Qingcheng to avoid the harm of the Mongolian soldiers. After Su Nang's defeat, he can go back to Bansheng and continue to run his shop in Bansheng." It's still very good. As long as there are no military disasters, the business will be no worse than here in Qingcheng."
The goods sold by Han merchants who cooperated with Tiger Character Flag were all sold by him. He also had some understanding of the business of Han merchants like Chen Guangyu who cooperated with Tiger Character Flag. He knew that Chen Guangyu's shop in Banshengdi was doing very well. Good, otherwise I wouldn't have sold thousands of taels of silver worth of goods at once, but I was just unlucky enough to catch Su Nang sending troops to deal with the Tiger Flag. Otherwise, I could have made a lot of money from these thousands of taels of silver goods.
Yang Jing frowned and said: "I'm afraid Su Nang will not let Brother Chen continue to run the shop in Banshengdi. Not only Brother Chen, I am afraid that several other Han businessmen who are related to Tiger Flag will also be targeted by Su Nang." .”
Wu Jingyan smiled and said: "As long as I, the Tiger Flag, guard the fort at Dahei River and force Su Nang to retreat, then shopkeeper Chen can return to Bansheng and continue to run his own shop, and the same goes for other Han merchants."
"What if your company can't defend the fort in Daheihe?" Yang Jing said worriedly.
He doesn't know how to fight, but he also knows that in any war there are winners and losers, and the current situation is very unfavorable to the Tiger Flag side, but Su Nang's side has a greater chance of winning.
Wu Jingyan pondered for a moment and said: "If we cannot hold the fort at the Dahei River, it will be very difficult for our Tiger Character Banner to do business on the grasslands in the future, and the Han merchants who cooperate with our Tiger Character Banner will definitely be liquidated by the Mongols. , even Shopkeeper Yang, your store in Qingcheng can’t maintain it.”
"So we Han merchants can only wait to be liquidated by the Mongols." Chen Guangyu said dejectedly.
Wu Jingyan glanced at Yang Jing, and finally settled on Chen Guangyu, and said: "Don't worry, two shopkeepers, if it comes to that step, I will protect your children and return to Datong together with my tiger-character flag."
"Really?" Chen Guangyu stared closely at Wu Jingyan.
"Even if our Tiger Character Banner is defeated, it is still a powerful business in Datong. It will be no problem to bring the two families back to Datong safely." Chen Guangyu gave the two of them reassurance.
Chen Guangyu took a deep breath and said immediately: "Since the Tiger Flag can keep our family safe, I am willing to take my family to Qingcheng to escape for a while."
Yang Jing on the side said with a smile: "When I get back soon, I will ask Zhuo Jing to clean up the house and settle down Brother Chen's family."
"Then I'll help Brother Yang." Chen Guangyu raised his hand to Yang Jing.
