    You can search "Iron-Blooded Dynasty: Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty" on Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    Lin Danhan¡¯s rationality is actually not unexpected. After all, living on the grassland is not easy. If he makes a wrong decision because of his anger, he may even have to take care of the king¡¯s account!

    But this annoying spring is not all bad news, because the Ming Dynasty actually opened up the mutual market, and the Ming Dynasty¡¯s announcement clearly listed the items that can be exchanged. In addition to the coarse cloth, coarse porcelain, tea, and salt that have always been available, there are also  Food and ironware!

    This can be said to be an unprecedented first time. All the grassland tribes who heard the news felt incredible and at the same time felt a little wary in their hearts. There were even rumors that this was a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty to deceive people.  , and then kill them all!

    It¡¯s a pity that things in the world are often said not with words, but the body is very honest. Although terrible rumors are spread everywhere on the grassland, there is an endless stream of tribes going to Datong and Guyuan for mutual trade!

    When those who dared to be the first to eat crabs actually exchanged cows, horses, sheep, and furs for cloth, porcelain, tea, and iron pots, an inexplicable restlessness quickly filled the grassland!

    The attitude of each tribe toward the mutual market has also changed greatly. The chiefs began to actively organize people to bring the furs, cattle, sheep, and horses produced by their tribes to the mutual market in exchange for what they wanted!

    After meeting the basic needs of life, the leaders felt that they should obtain more exquisite things, such as the silk worn by the Han traders, the smooth jade-like porcelain they used, and an extremely rare thing that could clearly distinguish people.  Reflected in the mirror!

    However, when the leaders made this request, they were severely rejected. This refusal left no room for negotiation. Some leaders even planned to use force to threaten them. However, those who dared to trade with each other soon had their heads high.  Hanging high at the door of the mutual market!

    ?According to the Ming Dynasty, the mutual market was started by the poor people in the grasslands who had no food and clothing. Anyone who dares to do anything unfavorable to the mutual market is violating the will of the current Long Live and will have their heads cut off!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out of anger, they are the people of Lin Dan Khan, the grassland eagles protected by the eternal sky, why should they listen to the words of the Han emperor?

    However, you can not listen to the words of the Han emperor, but you cannot turn a blind eye to the butcher knife in the hands of the Han people. After being surrounded and suppressed by the Han people without hesitation after several threats of force, no one mentioned that the Han people were lambs, and they could easily take the goods in their hands.  The bullshit is back!

    Of course, when the mutual trade was in full swing, some caravans who traveled on the grasslands all year round did not stop because of the opening of the mutual trade. They still persevered in leading the convoys through the vast grasslands, heading further north and Liaodong.  !

    However, unlike previous years, smuggling inspections across Jiubian have become more and more stringent. In the past, as long as you spent a few small coins, you could drive hundreds of large vehicles through the fort in a majestic manner!

    But this year is different. All the border walls are so tight. If the walls are not iron-clad, no one¡¯s caravan can pass by freely. Even if they sneak out of the border walls, they may encounter  Patrolling Ming army cavalry!

    In addition to the original personal soldiers of the Ming Army generals, these Ming Army cavalry are always followed by a military police wearing blue cloth armor. Even the chief military officer of each town issued a death order. Without the military police to follow, no one is allowed to patrol the border wall.  !

    Although no one knows why this is happening, it may be because they are followed by military police. These soldiers have changed their attitude of dealing with errands and reaping benefits. Whenever they encounter a smuggling caravan, they will follow them like hungry wolves.

    The caravan guards are also lawless desperadoes, otherwise they would not risk losing their heads in this business, so when they find that something is wrong, they immediately rush forward to fight!

    "It's a pity that no matter how fierce the caravan guards are, they are just a mob. When they encounter the officers and soldiers who are really fighting for their lives, they have no chance of winning. They are often defeated in a few rounds!"

    It was only then that the private merchants and guards discovered that the officers and soldiers, who were usually submissive and only interested in petty gains, still had a lot of skills at their disposal. At least there was no problem in dealing with them!

    But what makes the officers and soldiers and private traders very strange is that every time they catch a smuggling caravan, the military police will screen the people in the caravan individually. Although they only ask nonsense about their name, place of origin, and what they do, in the end  The results are quite different!

    Sometimes the military police will have a private chat with the caravan leader, then take a bag of two to three hundred taels of silver, wave their hands and let the private traders go. Of course, the silver is considered a trophy and is shared among everyone!

    But sometimes the military policemen would sneer ferociously and escort all the private traders back together with their goods.?Anyone who dares to resist will be directly chopped down by these kings of hell!

    As for the goods and private traders, it would be easier to deal with them. They can all be handed over at a discounted price and exchanged for nothing. As for the military achievements, they can't get away with anything. Many veterans who are ruthless and dare to fight are making a lot of money.  , there is even a legend that a certain veteran earned thousands of taels of silver a month!

    It's just that these officers and soldiers didn't know that among the caravans who were let go, someone must have secretly made some strange gestures when they were being questioned. As long as the military police saw these gestures, they would let them go, and on the contrary, they would let them go without mercy.  Take it!

    Those caravans that were let go either headed for Liaodong, or they were loaded with silk, fine porcelain, glassware and other luxury goods and headed for the depths of the grassland, exchanging these impractical items for countless cattle and sheep.  ,horses!

    With the intensification of anti-smuggling efforts in the towns of Jiubian and the expansion of mutual trade, the officers and soldiers of the towns in Jiubian found that their food and salary arrears would no longer be in arrears, and even what they owed before was repaid in full!

    This makes the officers and soldiers who have suffered enough have an incredible feeling of being in heaven, but no matter how incredible things are, the white flowers and heavy money in their hands cannot be faked!

    In the past, all the big-headed soldiers looked downcast, unable to cheer up whether they were practicing or doing anything else, but now these guys have their heads raised and their chests puffed up!

    But there are also things that are unbearable, that is, the intensity of training is getting stronger and stronger. In the past, I didn¡¯t practice even for a while in a month, two months, or even half a year. Now, I do one small exercise every three days and one exercise every five days.  , and we have to do exercises every ten days!

    However, for the sake of money and meat, these can be tolerated, but those military policemen wearing blue cloth armor are all like the King of Hell. No matter who is caught by them for violating military regulations, they will treat them mercilessly.  Dispose!

    There are stories like this from every town in Jiubian. The brother-in-law of a certain deputy general, or the commander of a certain general, was caught by the military police for violating military regulations. As a result, no one could intercede, and his head was chopped off!

    Although most of these stories are untrue, everyone in the nine towns' officers and soldiers feels an invisible pressure. This pressure makes the officers and soldiers in the nine towns gradually change from loose to strict, and their combat effectiveness naturally increases rapidly!

    As the admiral of Jiubian, Xiong Tingbi was naturally happy to see such changes. In his memorial to Zhu Youxiao, he said: Military police are scattered in the army, and everyone feels coercion. Therefore, military discipline must be improved. Dare to  There is no one among ten thousand who tries the law with his own body!

    Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the rapid change in the atmosphere of the officers and soldiers of the Nine Towns. Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not think that it was because of his overbearing aura that he ordered the officers and soldiers of the Nine Towns to be reorganized!

    Among them, money plays the biggest role. In this era, if you don't have money, you will definitely die!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
