"Mr. Zhao, we should be almost at Xi'an Mansion now. After leaving Xi'an Mansion, the road will be easier to walk. By then, the people heading north will be relatively sparse.
However, we should have some supplies in the city, and it is best to buy another batch of horses as backup, otherwise traveling will be a problem. "
"Then hurry up and get into the city as soon as possible before dark!"
Zhao Ming nodded. He had never visited a big city before coming to this world. This was the best break, and he also wanted to see the folk customs of this world.
He glanced at Ah Fu and others not far away. The three of them were sitting on horseback, with their buttocks and waists standing.
Although I trained equestrian for a period of time before setting off, it was so easy to adapt to this long journey.
I'm afraid the calf is bleeding from wear and tear.
Shaking his head, Zhao Ming was also thinking about another question along the way.
He couldn't help but wave to Wang Er in the distance.
"Master Zhao!"
After many days of contact, Wang Er no longer had the initial fear of Zhao Ming, but was more convinced and recognized.
"Who is in charge of Chahar now? Oh, I mean whose territory is this commander's territory now?" Zhao Ming now wanted to verify a question.
"Master Zhao...you don't know this?"
Wang Er didn't expect that Zhao Ming didn't even know this.
"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!" Zhao Ming said impatiently.
He is not a god. In this warlord melee stage, the territory is changing. It may be this person's territory today, but it will be someone else's territory tomorrow.
The frequency of mountain top replacement is not unpleasant.
"Master Zhao, this should be Marshal Yan's territory now, but since Chief Song has asked us to take over, it's normal.
After all, the relationship between Marshal Yan and our Marshal Feng is so good now that they can't help each other, and both commanders are now flying the blue sky and white sun flag.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of his own.
And isn’t this the end of the second Northern Expedition just now? Now I heard that the principal from the Nanjing authorities even took a photo with Marshal Feng and Marshal Yan.
The relationship is not close, and I heard that now..."
As he spoke, Wang Er lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard that the man in Nanjing now has the ambition to unify the country, and judging from the trend, it is indeed very promising."
Listening to this, Zhao Ming finally recalled this part of his memory.
Sometimes he really couldn't figure out the specific territory where the warlords were fighting, but now that he thought about it, he figured it out.
Damn it, this Chahar is definitely a huge pit among huge pits!
And this old boy, Lao Song, definitely has no good intentions.
Was he placed as an undercover agent next to Yan Laoxi by Lao Song?
No no no! Undercover may not be accurate, it should be a casual move used to drain money from the bottom of the cauldron.
If you can get it, a large number of war horses will be at your fingertips, and Lao Song and Marshal Feng behind him will laugh out of their dreams.
Sure enough, brothers who have such a good relationship that they worship each other, especially warlords, are all superficial brothers.
"Is it just that Lao Song trusts me so much? He also leaves this kind of thing to me? Are you not afraid that I will turn around and vote for Yan Laoxi if I am dissatisfied?"
Zhao Ming pondered deeply.
Following Wang Er's explanation just now, he thought of what happened next.
Next year, Marshal Feng and the principal fell out, and the battle between Feng and Jiang broke out.
As a result, the principal used a counter-intuitive plan and was directly stabbed in the back by his favorite general, resulting in the loss of one hundred thousand elite soldiers.
However, Lao Feng's move inspired many people's confidence to rebel, so the next year Lao Feng regrouped and conspired with Yan Laoxi.
That is, the outbreak of the Central Plains War.
But... it still failed.
"It seems that I only have more than a year! No! It may only be one year! Within one year, I must grow to be substantial enough.
In this way, no matter how the superiors contend, I am a valuable being. "
Zhao Ming once again clarified his direction. This person must show his value at all times, otherwise the top will fall and the people below will be unlucky.
It's only when you have the soldiers and the power.
Lao Feng's failure is inevitable, just like the generals under him.
The combat capabilities are first-rate, but the political sense is shoddy.
And what level is the principal? He is a good individual himself, and he has many staff behind him, as well as the shrewd Song family to take care of internal affairs and business for him. It is not too easy.
"Why do you think so much? I'll raise the cows and horses, and then I'll find a way to gain military power!"
Zhao Ming's mood suddenly became happy. Wang Er on the side didn't understand why Zhao Ming's mood was so up and down.
However, as they arrived at Xi'an Mansion before sunset, everyone was in a better mood.
But with so many of them, they were stopped directly by the military police guarding the city gate.
"Who are you? Don't come close!"
The leading officer was a little wary. With so many people there, could they be some audacious knife bandits?
But his attitude soon changed 180 degrees.
"Haha! It turns out to be Brother Zhao. Since he is going north to take up his post, it's time to go to the city and take a good rest. It's a long journey and we can't let the brothers eat and sleep outside."
Touching a piece of small yellow croaker in his sleeve, the middle-aged second lieutenant almost smiled.
With a wink at his subordinates, Zhao Ming and others filed in smoothly.
Everyone did not bring guns, which was one of the reasons. Otherwise, so many armed forces would not be allowed to enter the city in this famine year.
He gave some money to Monkey King Er to settle the brothers.
Zhao Ming took Ah Fu and the two cooks and walked to the street.
The market is not closed yet and the stores are still open. Zhao Ming wants to take advantage of this period to do some shopping.
The most important thing to purchase is the medicinal materials.
When you go to a place like Chahar, it’s not impossible to buy medicinal materials, but it’s relatively troublesome.
Moreover, this journey will take about ten days at least. Who can guarantee that no one will have a headache or fever in ten days?
"Uncle, do you want me to contact these pharmacies later?"
After entering the city and standing with his legs on the ground, Ah Fu looked much better.
"Why?" Zhao Ming was confused.
"Uncle, you may not know this, but there is a saying that goes well. If you can give me ten ounces of money, you will not pass on your art. I would rather give you a piece of gold than a word of love."
The south is spring and the north is dian, also known as southern spring and northern dian. In fact, it refers to the jargon in the world of martial arts.
There are jargons in all walks of life. Those who sell medicine or open medical clinics are also called tired men.
This jargon is wrong. It is easy to buy fake medicines when buying medicines, and some people specialize in selling fake medicines. The jargon is called Li Daxing.
There are also drug dealers who specialize in defrauding outsiders. This type is also called a guide or a leader. Those who drag passersby to see a doctor are also called "Zhaofeidian".
Alas, uncle, there are so many different things here. "
Ah Fu's serious words really have a nose and an eye.
"Okay, you go and make contact, and I'll follow behind and take a look."
However, Zhao Ming became interested. It is true that there are rules in this industry, and people in the past paid more attention to these.
Because profits in many industries are not high, there are many crooked practices in every industry.
There are unspoken rules for future generations, but they are not so elaborate and the opinions are not so varied.
