Chapter 7 The Journey to the West: Six Sun Chuanlang and Sun Chuanting

The arrival of Sauron's tribe naturally made the Fan family, Jin family, Liang family, and Sun family, who had set up a warehouse in Kyaktu, jealous.

Early on the next morning, Ulji went to the Fan family's warehouse with two hundred pieces of fine mink skins and a large number of ordinary skins, while Zhuketu and Alin Age went to the Jin family's warehouse with one hundred pieces of fine mink skins.

, Liang family, Nikan, and Sun Chuanyu went to the Sun family with the remaining leathers and other items.

Worried that several people had been deceived by the merchant, Nikan specially called them to do some homework that night, and gave them some instructions before leaving in the morning. It was not until everyone else had left that he and Sun Chuanyu set off for the Sun's warehouse.

Sun Chuanlang's warehouse was set up next to the woods, close to the Kyaktu River. Sun Chuanlang came to the gate early in the morning and looked forward to it. According to his idea, the Sauron people could get him a small half of the goods.

He is satisfied with trading here.

But when he saw Wuliji, who had been here last year, taking a large amount of goods to the Fan family, and the remaining two people went to the Jin family and the Liang family respectively, he felt heartbroken, because Nikan

They set off after seeing off Uligi, Zhuktu, and Alin'a. Sun Chuanlang thought for a while that he was out of luck.

He let out a long sigh and prepared to return to the house lonely, but a "Second Brother" called him back again.

Hearing this voice, he was startled. First he saw Sun Chuanyu, although Sun Chuanyu lowered the brim of his hat.

Although the two parties have had some contact in the past few years, they have all been in secret. Now this guy has come to the Sun's warehouse blatantly. How can the Sun family gain a foothold on the grassland if others see him?!

However, he was surprised to see a dozen people behind Sun Chuanyu carrying goods, and then a smiling young man jumped into his sight.

What happened on the Nerchinsk Steppe has reached Sun Chuanglang's ears, and he also learned several key pieces of information.

"The descendants of Sun Chuankuo defeated Maoming'an and Bogra Khan"

Everyone, including Zhe Busu and Secretary Fan, believed that Bogra Khan would not come to Kyaktu in person. Sun Chuanlang also thought so - although he was vaguely looking forward to seeing the man in front of him.

A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, his heart was beating more and more intensely.

But after all, he is an old Jianghu, "My guest is welcome!"

He then turned around and entered the door.

When he entered the reception room, Nikan knelt down in front of the man who looked somewhat similar to himself.

"Nephew meets uncle"

Sun Chuanglang couldn't believe his eyes. Although he had already confirmed it in his heart, he didn't dare to casually identify it without others speaking. But now it was absolutely true.

He quickly helped Nikan up, and the two sides looked at each other. Finally, Sun Chuanglang hugged Nikan and cried loudly: "Not long ago, Chuanyu mentioned that you might be the child left by the eldest brother in the forest. I was still a little

I don’t believe it, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Nikan also smiled and said: "Originally, I wanted to exchange all the goods with my uncle, but when I thought that the incident about Nerchinsk might have spread here, I felt it was inappropriate, so I divided some and went to other companies. Now I have brought them with me.

I came here with some of the best goods, please forgive me, uncle."

Sun Chuanglang nodded, "You can think of this at such a young age. I am very pleased. So the legends about Nerchinsk are all true?"

Nikan nodded, and then told him his deeds in the past two years in detail, but skipped the section on firearms, and did not mention the incident of meeting Li Xiuli. It was just that "Sauron was braver than any other in the forest."

Among them, Nikan is more brave than Sauron."

Sun Chuanyu on the side was listening at the same time and sighed when he heard the tension.

When Nikan took out the goods, Sun Chuanglang could tell at a glance that they were valuable, so he was overjoyed. He was not polite and said directly: "Xiurong, these things of yours are not worth the real price of all the goods I have saved."

Come on, you might as well move everything in the library."

Nikan nodded. This time he came to Kyaktu, and being able to see Sun Chuanlang was a great reward. He had never thought about making money.

"Uncle, my nephew has a few things to say, please listen carefully."

Seeing Nikan's seriousness, Sun Chuanlang realized that the man in front of him was definitely the deputy khan of the Sauron people, a leader with more than two thousand households under his command, and he nodded and sat down.

"Uncle, please don't say you've seen me before."

Sun Chuanlang nodded naturally, which was what he meant.

"I suggested that my uncle go to Urhit and set up another warehouse."

"Why is this?" Sun Chuanglang didn't understand. It was very precarious for his Sun family to have one house in Kyaktu. How could they have two houses?

"Uncle, I forgive my nephew for not being able to elaborate on the reason. Or you could just move the warehouse to Urhit. Well, it is closer to Chita after all."

"Third, after you return to Shanxi, can you bring some farmers and craftsmen who are good at farming when you come back next year? My nephew is in urgent need of some seeds suitable for growing in alpine zones."

Sun Chuanlang thought for a moment and then nodded. Farmers and craftsmen in the Xuanda area were all in danger, and there was an endless stream of people fleeing beyond the border. He only needed to use some means to make the trip.

But starting from Zhangjiakou to Kyaktu, although there are security guards along the way, it is only a distance of nearly two thousand miles. There are nearly a hundred tribes, large and small, and horse thieves are everywhere. Although the Sun family has guards, it will still be difficult if they bring too many ordinary people.

Not very safe.

"Uncle, don't worry. I will give you ten Sauron warriors this time. They can speak Mongolian. There is an uncle on the tribe to take care of it. If something happens, I will be beyond my reach. As for the horse thieves, with these ten people and your guards, we should

No problem”

Nikan decided to let Alin'a go back with Sun Chuanlang. This person was loyal to him and flexible, making him an excellent candidate to participate in this matter.

"Well, yes, Xiurong, I will let them stay in Zhangjiakou, where the government will not pay attention. Wait for the people you need to arrive and then set off from there. If you follow them back to Daizhou, I'm sure they will be exposed. Those of you

People have different looks after all, and it would be bad if someone with intentions sees it."

"Okay, everything is subject to uncle's arrangement. But uncle, you should hurry up and move to Urhit."

"Okay, I'll do my best. I already have my warehouse there, but it's always empty. So if someone brings it, will it be brought to Urhit?"

"Well, that's best"

Seeing Nikan's serious face, Sun Chuanlang felt a little nervous, "Xiurong, are you planning something big again? You must be careful when proceeding."

Nikan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm fine in the north. I'm just worried that something will involve the Sun family."

With a "squeak" sound, a small door on the left side of the living room opened, and then a person walked out.

I saw that he was tall, about thirty years old, with a Chinese character face, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, three long beards, wearing a Tang scarf, a purple cotton robe, and a long sword hanging on his waist.

Nikan's heart moved, and he quickly stood up and bowed, "Greetings to the master of the family!"

The man stared for a long time, then didn't say anything and sat down on the chair next to Sun Chuanglang.

"Please tell me in detail what happened to you after you were thirteen years old, without any omissions!"

Nikan had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to Sun Chuanglang. When he finished speaking, he sat on a chair and drank tea to soothe his throat, but the man closed his eyes and said nothing.

Nikan just put the tea cup on the coffee table aside, and the man opened his eyes suddenly, "Impossible, you must be hiding something. Let me ask you, how many accounts do the Mongols in Maoming'an have?"

"There are more than 3,000 tents, but they are divided into ten parts. Each part only has a few hundred tents, and the most is more than 500 tents."

The man thought for a while and said, "That's more or less. Well, no, no matter how brave you Saurons are and can fight one against two, you can sweep across the Nerchinsk Grassland with just three hundred riders?"

Nikan shook his head in his heart, and he also knew the confusion of the man in front of him. Since the early days of the Ming Dynasty, it was a great victory to capture dozens of riders in battles with the Tartars. If there were hundreds of riders, over there

It was a "shattering achievement". With his weak body, Nikan swept through Nerchinsk with only 300 cavalry and defeated the Maoming'an Mongols. How could he not be filled with doubts?

Nikan smiled slightly and said, "Master, the Sauron people are actually from the same origin as the Jurchens in the east. I guess the master of the family knows the Jurchens' combat prowess, but the Sauron people are braver than the Jurchens, not to mention..."

The man couldn't help but frown when he heard the word "Jurchen". When he heard the word "what's more," he asked hurriedly: "What's more, what's more?"

"Master, my nephew has been addicted to blacksmithing since he was a child, so there is no shortage of iron weapons in the tribe, and they are even far stronger than those of the Tartars."

The man asked: "If all your clan members are mobilized, how many soldiers and horses can be dispatched?"

"There can be 1,500 elite cavalry. According to the fighting strength of the Tartar slaves, my nephew estimates that there are only 5,000 cavalry."

"Five thousand riders?" The man couldn't help but gasped, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, Master, you will understand everything if you think about it from the Jurchens."

Nikan still has not disclosed the fact that he owns a large number of firearms.

"What if Jian Nu compares with you?"

Nikan thought for a moment, "If both sides have 1,500 cavalry, the difference between the two sides is almost the same. My nephew's side may be slightly better, but Jiannu has already controlled Liaodong, Horqin, and Nei Khalkha. The number of people is not small."

Nephews are comparable, but..."

"But what?", the man's eyes brightened.

"If my nephew is given another year or two, he can unify all the tribes in the forest in Mobei. With three to five thousand horsemen under his command, perhaps establishing slaves is not a problem."

"What did you mean when you hesitated to speak to your uncle just now?"

"almost"

"Then what is your purpose in bringing the Han people to that bitter cold place?"

"Master, you are tired of eating cattle and sheep all day long. If you have some grains and vegetables as supplements, it will be much more convenient for daily life and marching and fighting. Besides, this kid is a Han, and he is surrounded by barbarians outside the Great Wall. He should take care of himself."

Collect more Han people around you"

The man nodded, "I will follow your uncle south this time. Tell me, apart from what I just said, what else do you need?"

Nikan was overjoyed. His uncle would never be able to do what he wanted, but it was possible for the man in front of him to do it.

"Master, most of the changes in the Nerchinsk Grassland were caused by my nephew's planning and charge into battle. Unfortunately, Gen Temu'er stole the throne. Why? It's just that he had in his hand a gift given by the Ming Emperor hundreds of years ago.

If the customs defense and documents of his hereditary commander of the Qita River are..."

The man rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I already know about this and will do my best. What else do you need?"

"Reporting to the head of the family, there is no more." As soon as he finished speaking, Nikan saw Sun Chuanyu opposite him and said hurriedly: "The head of the family, uncle Chuanyu knows more about the situation in Mobei than my nephew. Can you let him stay to assist my nephew?"

"That's right, but Chuanyu hasn't been back to Shanxi for many years. I'll follow you next time I come."
