The news that the Ningxia Guard was breached shocked Hong Chengchou, who was marching toward Sichuan.
He quickly returned to Ningxia Wei to investigate the situation in person.
Seeing Guancheng being burned to the ground, Hong Chengchou felt a little heavier in his heart.
Sure enough, as he guessed, Liang Yue became more and more uncontrollable.
"Bing Xian, my subordinates discovered that after Liang Yue defeated the Ningxia Guard, he led his army all the way north. Someone saw with his own eyes that he crossed the Great Wall and went to Saibei."
Saibei?
This situation made Hong Chengchou puzzled and angry.
Stepping into the vast sea of sand during the icy and snowy season, isn’t this just asking for death?
And ran to Saibei...
Could it be that such a talented person not only rebelled against the imperial court, but also sought refuge with a foreign race?
"Liang Yue, don't lose your mind. You will be infamy for eternity, and you won't have the face to meet your ancestors."
Liang Yue didn't know that thousands of miles away in the south, a high-ranking official of the imperial court was feeling sorry for him.
He is now happily enjoying the fruits of victory.
Under the butcher's knife, the Chahar Mongols who were still alive chose to surrender sincerely.
It is true that the Mongols fought bravely, but there was no such thing as integrity.
Surrendering today and rebelling tomorrow are commonplace for the Mongols.
Whoever has the bigger fist is the king.
This is the only law on the grassland.
Since Liang Yue killed Abu Nai, there is nothing wrong with serving him as his master.
Even if he is Han Chinese.
In the Ming Dynasty, many Mongolians went to serve in the Ming Dynasty, which was already the norm.
What made the Mongols surrender most happily was that Liang Yue did not kill all the men taller than the wheel.
Only the most die-hard were put to death.
As long as they choose to surrender, their finances and family members will be immediately returned.
Not only that, they also received a share of the spoils of those who died.
Especially the death of Abu Nai made Liang Yue's gains very rich.
He very generously took out most of it and rewarded it to the surrendering Mongols.
When had these low-class Mongolians ever seen such a generous master?
Isn’t this much better than being a descendant of the Golden Family?
The surviving Mongolians on the right wing quickly expressed their allegiance, and Liang Yue's army suddenly swelled to more than 3,000 people.
The snow stopped and Xu Yaqing appeared again.
She is not alone.
Instead, they brought a huge fleet of vehicles.
Looking at the firearms being unloaded from the carriage, Liang Yue's eyes straightened.
“Where do these things come from?”
Xu Yaqing quite enjoyed his surprised look.
"I have established a relationship with Mongolian Mongolia. The people there have a way to buy these firearms from the Rakshasa people, so I want some of them. How about it, General Liang, how should you thank the little girl?"
"What do you need me to do?"
Liang Yue was very calm.
He would not be fooled by Xu Yaqing's beauty.
This is a vixen and a killer bee, and he will be doomed if he is not careful.
We can only have a cooperative relationship with this woman, and we must never be confidant.
Xu Yaqing was not concerned about herself and regained her composure.
"If you want to fight back to Shandong and seek revenge on Zuo Menggeng, it is absolutely impossible with your current strength. I can help you connect and cooperate with Mongolia Mongolia to obtain countless firearms. When you conquer the world in the future, I The White Lotus Sect should be the state religion."
Liang Yue had actually been mentally prepared for this request.
"It's a deal."
In fact, he has made up his mind in his heart that once the overall situation is stable in the future, the first thing to be eradicated is these cults that pretend to be gods and ghosts.
He couldn't trust Xu Yaqing, so why didn't Xu Yaqing do the same?
"Establish written evidence."
"good."
Liang Yue agreed very happily, and wrote a letter of commitment in front of Xu Yaqing and handed it to the other party.
Seeing Xu Yaqing's satisfied look, Liang Yue sneered.
What do a few words mean?
As long as he succeeds in great things in the future, let alone just a piece of paper. Even if it's an iron coupon with an alchemy book, why don't you just tear it up if you want to?
Naturally, there are countless people to help him achieve harmony.
Liang Yue, a once ordinary farmer, is also growing rapidly.
In winter, the wild sea finally calmed down.
The merchants who had been patient for several months quickly seized the opportunity and put their ships to sea to find the wealth they longed for.
This time period is also Zheng's busiest time.
Passing merchant ships pay tolls to Zheng at this time every year.
A distant merchant ship flying the flags of the Xia Kingdom and the Zheng Family gradually approached. When he saw the waving flag on Zheng's warship, he slowly stopped.
Zheng's boat came close to each other, and the two sides were close to each other.
The Xia businessman was smiling and very positive.
"Don't worry, General. This year's tolls have already been prepared. Please check."
He clapped his hands, and the crew on the ship quickly carried out the boxes one by one and opened them one by one on the deck. The shining silver was particularly eye-catching.
But seeing this scene, Zheng's people still smiled.
"Haha, let me know that starting from this year, the rules have changed."
The businessmen of Xia Kingdom keenly felt that something was wrong.
"I don't know what to say?"
Zheng's people are very domineering.
"Starting from this year, the toll fee will be 2,500 taels."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Guo's ship was boiling with excitement.
The merchants of Naxia were particularly dissatisfied.
"It's so good, why has it increased so much? We all have our heads stuck in our waistbands, going through wind and rain, and finally earn some hard-earned money. Now there are five hundred taels more, and a year's business has been in vain. ”
Zheng's people just sneered and said nothing, showing no intention of being accommodating.
After nagging for a long time, the businessman from Xia State gritted his teeth and took out a small goldfish from his sleeve, trying to put it into the hands of Zheng's steward.
"Brother, it's really hard for you guys to do some business. Please tell me, please, so that you can have something to eat."
Zheng's manager didn't answer, but his tone became more and more unkind.
"When did Zheng's words change immediately? From now on, this is the rule, even if it's less than a copper penny."
The merchants of Xia State were sweating coldly as they looked at Zheng's people with eager eyes, intent on using knives and guns if they disagreed.

"But...but brother, the money I bring is limited, it's really not enough!"
Zheng's management became more and more pressing.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money, just use the goods on your ship to pay for it."
The merchants of Xia Kingdom were also a little angry when they heard that they were going to rob them openly.
"In that case, let's return to the voyage now. Let's discuss what happens next."
He wanted to leave, but Zheng's people blocked him.
"How much hardship have you suffered in order to protect the tranquility of the sea here? You can come and leave whenever you want. What do you think of me, Zheng?"
The Xia merchant's face was as gloomy as ink, and he finally understood that something big had happened.
Under the general trend, he, a small businessman, is worse than a grasshopper.
At this time, he could only put away his anger, stand aside obediently, and watch helplessly as Zheng's people moved a lot of the goods on the ship.
It wasn't until the tolls were paid that Zheng's people left.
"Master, what should we do? Our freight cannot be delivered to Batavia."
The goods that were promised were reduced a lot out of thin air, which is tantamount to a breach of contract.
The businessman stamped his feet violently.
"If this is the case, why go to Batavia? Turn around immediately, go back to Songjiang Mansion, and report this matter."
