- Zhangjiakou is not the most prominent place on the northern defense line.
The northern defense line is actually part of the Great Wall defense line. At this location is Zhangbeicheng.
There is also Kangbao City outside Zhangbeicheng, which is the most prominent city.
However, Kangbao City is a complete military fortress, and there are no civilians or businessmen living there on weekdays.
There are complete fortifications here, sufficient food, grass and ordnance, as well as five thousand sergeants and logistics personnel.
Once the Qiyan people from the grassland come over, this will be the first line of defense.
In recent decades, Kangbao City has been attacked a total of fifteen times, ranging in size.
Some are small tribes that are crazy about poverty and want to go in and rob, and some are large-scale people who want to invade the Great Wall.
But they didn¡¯t take down Kangbao City.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The garrison in Kangbao City is changed every year, and no one finds it boring.
Secondly, Dakang provides very good treatment to the frontier troops. Each person can receive an income of more than twenty taels of silver every year, which is enough for their families in the rear to live a good life.
The third is their family members, almost all of them are in the cities behind the Great Wall such as Zhangjiakou, Huai'an and Yihua. If these grassland beggars are let go and the beggars have the opportunity to go straight to Zhangjiakou, they will be the first to suffer. Those are their parents, wives and children.
It is easy for a person to be single, but after having a family, his own life is no longer his life, but that of his family members.
So every time they encountered these beggars, they resisted with all their might, not because they were lazy or afraid of fighting.
Coupled with the complete city defenses and sufficient food and grass, it was impossible for the Qiyan people to eradicate Kangbao City unless they wanted to spend 20,000 to 30,000 casualties.
The price is so high. Among the Qiyan tribes, each tribe only has an army of 20,000 to 30,000 men. How can they be willing to lose their precious strength here?
Therefore, most of the time, the smart beggars bypassed Kangbao City, and then went to Zhangbeicheng, in order to open the Great Wall defense line, enter Hebei, burn, kill and loot.
"It's just that the difficulty there is higher and there are more troops stationed there, so they rarely succeed.
Even if it succeeds once or twice, it will be repulsed by the swarming garrison and imperial guards. In the end, the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, in the past ten or twenty years, this place has basically become a paradise for transactions.
Countless Qiyan businessmen come to Zhangjiakou with their various local specialties to purchase all the things they need, and then take them back to sell.
Sometimes, many caravans from Dakang will go out to the Qiyan Plateau to do some business.
Of course, these caravans are protected by the Qiyan tribes. Otherwise, if you rob and kill them every time they come, who would dare to do business with you?
Without Dakang¡¯s tea, silk, porcelain, medicinal materials, cloth and other materials, any beggar tribe will only become poorer and poorer.
Therefore, even if there are wanton horse bandits who rob and kill the caravan, the nearby tribes will mobilize together to wipe out these horse bandits and give an explanation to the Dakang merchants.
In fact, many horse bandits will also help to eradicate the scum among these horse bandits.
Why?
The horse bandit also has a lot of supplies. If he doesn't sell them through Dakang's businessmen, will he die in his hands?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Stop gossiping.
Kangbao City has been a little nervous these days.
Looking at the long procession of livestock passing by on the road a few miles outside the city, many veterans who had been on duty in Kangbao City several times were a little stunned.
On the city wall, they were on guard and talking at the same time.
"Boss, I'm afraid only Boss Liu can achieve this scale of transaction, right?" A soldier who lives in Zhangjiakou said with envy, "In the past few days, there are at least tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, right?"
"Tens of thousands?"
Captain Zheng said disdainfully: "Twenty or thirty thousand less, don't even mention it!"
"So much? Can Boss Liu eat it?" Xiao Bing said in horror.
Boss Liu is the leading livestock merchant in Zhangjiakou. He has a particularly good relationship with the Qiyan tribes and his business even extends to the Gyeonggi region.
Last time, it was said that Datong needed a batch of cows. There was no way to get the goods, so Boss Liu sent them to replenish them.
Captain Liu also knew the strength of Boss Liu, but this time he shook his head, "Impossible, Boss Liu doesn't have this strength."
"That's not right, boss, Boss Liu is the strongest. If not him, who else?" another soldier said.It almost made a joke. If Mr. Feng hadn't helped explain, no one would have known how to use this white paper in the toilet.
Then when wiping, everyone felt the joy of wiping with soft toilet paper.
Prairie people originally eat mostly meat and not enough vegetables, so they have too many problems such as constipation. It is absolutely painful for them to go to a large size. They often get cracks and then become infected and can't walk for several days. People are also everywhere
Nowadays, wiping with soft toilet paper is a great comfort to many people. They completely feel that the way they wiped before is simply bullshit.
When Jin Chenbai left the post house, nothing else was moved, but the fifty or so boxes of toilet paper placed next to the toilet were loaded into the car and taken away without regard to face.
"It's just that these toilet papers won't be used for long, and only a few rolls can be distributed to the operating table.
And there are parents, wives and children on the operating table, and everyone uses it. How many days will it be used?
Thinking that there will be no toilet paper for a long time in the future, it is understandable that a tough guy like Xu Tai would feel melancholy.
"Still poor!"
Shutai was silent for a while and said slowly: "Manager Zeng, the materials on our grassland are very poor, that is, some cattle, horses, sheep and some wild things. They cannot be sold at a price, and there are too many things to buy. These enjoyments The only thing you can do is throw it away first!"
"Hey, if you raise more cattle, horses and sheep, and sell them to us, won't you come?" Zeng Duoyi said.
"How can it be that simple?" Shutai smiled and shook his head.
"That is to say, King Jin is not courageous enough." Zeng Duoyi continued, "If nothing else is mentioned, these beggar horses are very good things to us. As long as they sell 10,000 horses to us a year, it is nothing. Do you have them all? After we bought the horse, we can't come to beat you. We are just protecting ourselves. What are we afraid of?"
"That's right!"
The theater laughed unconsciously.
But he didn¡¯t answer the question.
"We grassland tribes don't sell horses to you, not because we are afraid that you will attack us in turn, but because we are afraid that when we come to rob, you will have enough horses to resist!"
