The members of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau under Huang Hong started to move, and the news that the Tumut ministries were preparing to use troops against the Tiger Flag spread through the hands of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
Some people sent news to Daheihe Dunbao, some people sent news to Xinpingbao, and even the Dunbao under construction on the grassland also sent news.
Huang Hong and Wu Jingyan returned to Daheihe Dunbao.
There are no more people from the Tiger-Character Banner left in Qingcheng, including those Han merchants who cooperated with the Tiger-Character Banner, and they all left Qingcheng early.
"In front is Tiger Flag's shop. Move all the goods inside, but don't hurt anyone."
Zhamuhe led a team of guards from the Khan tent to the door of Huziqi's shop in Qingcheng.
"Sir, the door of this shop has been closed. It looks like it is closed." A Mongolian guard said to Jamuhe.
Zhamuhe raised his hand and pointed, commanding: "Knock the door open."
Several sturdy Mongolians walked up from the side and began to remove the wooden boards on the doors and windows of the shop.
After removing the last piece of wood, one of the Mongolians turned sideways and hit the wooden door hard with his shoulder.
Snapped!
The wooden door opened in response, and the wooden bolt fastened to the back of the door broke into two pieces.
As soon as the shop door opened, a group of Mongolians rushed in.
The shelves were filled with various goods that had not yet been sold, of which cloth, grain, sugar and tea were the most common.
Tiger Banner planted a lot of sugar cane on Damuan Island and pressed the sugar to sell it. The price was high and the profit was huge. On the grassland, only the nobles among the Mongolians could afford sugar.
A Mongolian found a bag of candy, reached in, grabbed a handful, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.
When Zhamuhe saw it, he didn't stop him.
They are all the personal guards of the sweat tent, and their lives are easier than those of ordinary herdsmen. However, it is not easy to eat candy, and it is difficult to eat it several times in a lifetime.
Everything in the shop is from the tiger-shaped flag. His men eat some, or hide and take away some. As long as it is not too excessive, he, as the general of the bodyguard of the sweat tent, will only turn a blind eye. Pretending not to know.
These things in front of me are all for nothing, and they will be sent to the sweat tent in the future. The person who comes to inspect them at this time will naturally get some profit from them, and even he will get a lot of things.
Some items in the shop that were easy to carry around were searched and put away by the Mongolian guards. The remaining large items that were difficult to hide were moved to the open space outside the door of the shop.
As things in the shop were moved out one by one, Zhamuhe frowned.
"Wait a minute." Zhamuhe stopped a Mongolian guard who was walking out carrying a bag.
The Mongolian guard stopped, but the bag was still on his shoulders.
"Put it down and open your pocket." Zhamuhe said to the other party.
The Mongolian guard put down the bag and untied it, revealing the white rice in the bag.
Zhamuhe bent down and took a look.
This kind of rice is not grown on the grasslands. It can only be eaten by people on the grasslands through merchants from the Ming Dynasty. Usually only the nobles eat this kind of rice.
"General, this is just ordinary rice. There are several bags in a side room inside. If the general wants to eat, my subordinates can keep a bag and send it to the general." The Mongolian guard said.
Zhamuhe stretched out his hand and dug several handfuls into the rice bag, finally took it out, raised his head and said to the Mongolian guards in front of him: "Did you see any iron tools when you were searching?"
"No." The Mongolian guard shook his head. 2k
Zhamuhe waved his hand, indicating that the other party could leave.
The Mongolian guards tied up the rice bag again, picked it up and walked outside the shop.
Zhamuhe stood at the door for a while and watched the goods being carried out.
After looking for a long time, he didn't find any iron goods, not even a kitchen knife.
After a while, several empty-handed Mongolian guards came from the backyard. One of them came to Jamuhe and said: "General, everything that can be moved has been moved out, and everything inside has been emptied."
Zhamuhe nodded, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed the bulge on the other person's chest, and asked, "What do you have on your chest?"
"It's peanuts." The Mongolian guard took out a handful of peanuts from his chest and placed them in front of Zhamuhe.
Zhamuheyi waved his hand and said, "Have you found any iron goods?"
"It's all grain, tea, cloth, and stuff like that. I didn't see any iron goods." The Mongolian guard shook his head.
Zhamuhe pursed his lips.
He knew in his heart that all the iron goods in the shop should have been taken away by the people from the Tiger Flag. Although the remaining items were very good, they were not like iron goods and could be used to make weapons.
The goods outside the shop were loaded onto the car.
Zhamuhe walked out of the shop and said to the Mongolian guards in front of him: "Leave a third of the things in the car and divide them up, and take the rest back to the Great Khan."
The Mongolian guards present all looked happy.
There is a lot of cargo in the car. Even if it is only one-third, each person can get a few buckets of food.
Zhamuhe returned to the Khan tent with his personal guards escorting the stolen goods.
The goods brought back were taken to the residence by others, and Zhamuhe went into the sweat tent as soon as he came back.
There were only Bushitu and a few personal guards in the sweat tent.
Taiji from each tribe went to summon the warriors from the tribe to make preparations for the expedition. They were very busy, so no one came to the sweat tent.
Even if he comes to the sweat tent, he will only bring warriors from his own tribe with him.
"Great Khan, Tiger Character Banner's shop in Qingcheng has been sealed, and all the goods in the shop have been shipped back." Zhamuhe bowed and said to Bu Shitu.
Bu Shitu put down the gold bottle in his hand and said, "Give the iron goods brought back to the blacksmith and melt them into weapons and arrowheads."
"Reporting back to the Great Khan, most of what I brought back were cloth and grain, as well as a small amount of tea and sugar, but I didn't see any iron goods that could be used to make weapons." Jamuhe said conversationally.
After hearing this, Bu Shitu frowned and said: "Tell the people below that the iron goods seized this time are used to make weapons and will be used against the Tiger Flag in the future. No one of them is allowed to keep it privately." .”
He thought that the seized iron goods had been divided up by the people below.
Iron deficiency is very serious in the grassland, and iron pots are a treasure for herdsmen.
In the earliest mutual trade, the Ming Dynasty restricted the flow of iron items such as iron pots and kitchen knives into the grassland. Later, with the tiger-character flag and smuggling with various ministries, the situation became slightly better, but the iron goods were still very difficult. Many armored men from various ministries on the grassland The warriors all used bone arrowheads, and only some large tribes had a small amount of iron arrowheads available.
Zhamuhe said seriously: "I dare not deceive the Great Khan. This time I searched the shop of Tiger Character Banner and found not a single piece of iron goods. I thought that the people of Tiger Character Banner should have taken care of it in advance." The iron cargo was shipped away."
Bu Shitu, who was sitting at the top, saw that Zhamuhe didn't look like he was lying. The goods in the Tiger Flag shop must have really been moved in advance.
"One more thing, my subordinates didn't find anyone in the shop in Tiger Flag. They must have gotten the news in advance and escaped." Zhamuhe said.
Bu Shitu nodded and said, "Just run away. Even if the people are still in Qingcheng, I will expel them from Qingcheng."
