"Um!"
Bayan nodded, his face looking particularly calm amidst the rising smoke.
"To put it mildly, everyone doesn't want to see you. This is because the superiors are asking for too much. You are an outsider, so naturally you have to turn to the superiors.
The previous one was the old patriarch of the Maoming'an tribe, but he was actually the old boy from Beishan.
He is one of his own, so naturally he treats his own people, so it is normal for you not to be welcomed, Mr. Zhao. "
Zhao Ming was stunned when he heard Bayan's first words.
It turns out that the Beishan I saw that day was the previous field director? This old guy was still pretending in front of him!
Zhao Ming felt chills when he thought about the face of the other party who had a low profile and even eagerly invited him to join the tribe.
Once you enter someone else's territory, you really have no choice but to be at their mercy.
"What if it's too big?"
"It's too serious. Of course, if you come here, Chief Zhao, everyone's interests will be harmed and you won't get any benefits, so naturally you won't be happy." Bayan shrugged.
"Profit? What benefit? Just the number of livestock and horses that need to be turned in every year?
Isn’t that the case? " Zhao Ming asked back.
"Haha, this interest is nothing, of course they have other interests. As for what... I can't say for the time being." Bayan shook his head.
"For now? You can still say it, right?"
Zhao Ming felt that Bayan was weird and kept half of what he said. He should still be confident, but he also had some concerns.
And judging from his posture, it seems that he is here to negotiate.
"Yes! I can say that!"
Bayan was indeed a straight-tempered person and nodded directly.
“We in the Bayan tribe have a total of nine thousand herdsmen and three thousand young and strong herdsmen, although they are nothing on this grassland.
But I still dare to tell some truths. I just want me to say yes. Chief Zhao, you have to agree to my request.
Just agree, don't tell you this, I'll tell you whatever you want to ask.
And all three thousand men from my tribe can be used by Chief Zhao! "
Good guy! I thought that why I came here was to invest in my feelings.
This was because Bayan couldn't keep his temper. If he were an official in some cities to the south, he would definitely hang on Zhao Ming and wait until Zhao Ming had no choice but to make this request.
In this way, the initiative is in his own hands. No matter how he makes demands, as long as they are not too excessive, he can only be forced to compromise.
"What's the request?" Since the other party was so straightforward, Zhao Ming naturally followed up and asked.
"Marry my daughter!"
"ah?"
Hearing this answer, Zhao Ming was confused, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable and quite understandable.
Judging from the other party's previous behavior, the other party still retains many habits from the previous dynasty.
Of course, marriage is particularly popular even among some warlords, powerful people and celebrities now, but it will be less secure in later generations, but it still has a certain degree of security, but it is not as strong as it is now.
I thought he was a rough old man, but emotionally he was still a smart one.
"Yes! Chief Zhao, as long as you marry my daughter, I, Bayan, will definitely do what I promise!"
Bayan said and patted his hairy chest, which made Zhao Ming's mouth twitch.
The opponent's physique is two meters tall, covered in fat and muscle, and weighs nearly three hundred pounds.
He also looks like Li Kui, and he would open his mouth to shout angrily, which would frighten the faint of heart. What is the beauty of the other party's daughter?
Zhao Ming shuddered inexplicably.
He doesn't mind sacrificing his appearance. He doesn't say he can't have polygamy these days, so it doesn't mean he can't agree to it.
only.....
Zhao Ming shook his head and said calmly, "Brother Bayan, I think you must have other ways.
And if that’s all, it’s not enough!
I know you are not a fool, you are very smart.
In the final analysis, this place is still Marshal Yan's territory, and it is also the territory of the national army. The general trend is the general trend, and it is useless no matter how hard the herdsmen jump around.
No matter how powerful you are now, the pressure and liquidation you will receive in the future will be even more severe.
I don't know if there is an expert behind you or something.
In short, you should know very well that Marshal Yan has now changed his flag and is flying the blue sky and white sun flag.
It is estimated that after waiting for a while, it may be this year, it may be next year, or it may be the year after tomorrow. In short, the grassland will usher in a change in the next few years.
It's not a simple change.
You want to hug my boat, oh no, strictly speaking, you want to hug the big flag behind me. Am I right or not? "
Zhao Ming's calm tone made Bayan fall into silence.
Since it was a negotiation, Zhao Ming naturally had to take the initiative.
Although I don't know who is behind this Bayan, he must have access to real-time information, and he may not be an expert. He may be an ordinary Han from the south with some culture.
As for what Zhao Ming just said, most of it is bluffing. As for this year and next year, the fastest restructuring will be in 32 years.
That is to say, three or four years later, the successive battles between Feng and Chiang Kai-shek, the Battle of the Central Plains, and September 18th will involve most of the energy of the Kuomintang.
But this does not prevent Zhao Ming from pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the flag.
And it’s not all bluffing. The restructuring will definitely happen, and the liquidation will definitely not be easy at that time, but not now.
"No, no, no! Sir Zhao, you may not understand what I mean!"
After a long while, Bayan shook his head repeatedly.
"That will happen in the future, and whether it will happen or not is just your one-sided opinion.
But what I’m talking about is now. If you don’t agree, you may be in danger soon! "
"Are you threatening me?"
Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes, and a strong murderous intention gradually rose up.
Hearing this, Bayan shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, no! Sir Zhao, you still misunderstood what I meant, it wasn't me! It is not necessary and impossible for me to attack you.
My tribe occupies a good pasture and is not far from the market. Our tribe does not get involved.
I'm just kindly reminding Mr. Zhao. "
"Then you know?" Zhao Ming asked.
"Of course! But Sir Zhao, I still say the same thing. If you can marry my daughter, I will definitely be willing to help you." Bayan said sincerely again.
It stands to reason that Bayan's attitude is already very good.
But Zhao Ming felt it was not enough!
If Bayan wants to worship the dock, he can marry his daughter. Even if he is a little ugly and frustrated, Zhao Ming can accept it.
But Bayan kept things simple, and the people behind him also kept things simple.
Zhao Ming is an official!
The initiative can only be in the hands of the official from beginning to end, otherwise Zhao Ming will be tied up in the future.
It is a primary and secondary relationship, and now it is more like a charity.
The timing was wrong, and the terms proposed were wrong.
If Bayan asked for money or other privileges, Zhao Ming would agree without even thinking.
But this kind of thing is wrong and unacceptable!
Zhao Ming didn't know much about the way of being an official, but he understood the basic relationship between priorities.
