The business groups in Guihua City may not be very bold. These people were just businessmen who were doing business on the Ming Dynasty and the grassland two years ago.

However, after staying in Guihua City for a while, he reluctantly raised his guards, but he unconsciously found that he was very powerful. The ancient tribes on the grassland and the ancient cavalry that came and went like the wind seemed to be terrifying in the eyes of merchants, but in this short time, he found that they were so unremarkable.

The bows and arrows are not as far away as the muskets are fired, and the cavalry charges cannot break through the formation formed by the circle, while the caravan's guards can plunder calmly.

The grassland, where the crisis was originally over, suddenly became a world where you can do what you want. Such changes shocked everyone, and everyone's way of looking at things and living and coping on the grassland has changed.

The strength of individuals and their own merchants is only that they will not suffer any losses on the grassland and can plunder. However, the system of the naturalized city has united these merchants, and there is also official power to support them.

Large commercial banks are only nearly a thousand guards, and can summon two or three thousand cities, while small commercial banks have only one hundred people to make a move and mobilize hundreds of cities, but if they want to unite, they can actually raise nearly ten thousand guards and more than ten thousand cities, which is only their own strength.

If we include the guards, soldiers, regiments, and cities that can be mobilized by the Naturalized City, the total number of people can exceed 40,000, most of them are cavalry, and the rest are firearms and large chariot equipment.

What can I do with such a force on the grassland? Altan's army only mobilized 50,000 cavalry, and such a force was enough to run rampant on the grassland.

The core of the formation of the Naihua City Commercial Group is Sanjiang Commercial Bank, but the most active ones are the Han merchants who were originally dependent on Altan's tribe and the Han merchants running on the grasslands in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and the other two are used to the jungle rules on the grasslands and the strong in the prey on the jungle. Since they have become stronger now, they have to plunder, expand, and earn more wealth for their own families.

It is OK to deal with small tribes, and it is OK to deal with horse thieves. But it does not mean that it is OK to deal with the cavalry brigade of the sect. At first, everyone was nervous, but after gathering the crowd to fight with the Chahar tribe for several battles, the merchants in the Guihua City found that when the guards from each family gathered together, they immediately had a complete group of forces, without any strangeness. They were simply an army.

Everyone's elite equipment, fire mirrors and large chariots, are all regulated. The core of everyone's guards are veterans who retreated from Huwei Army and Jizhen. These people are familiar with each other and have clear classes. When they get together, they immediately return to their military appearance. There is no problem in cooperating.

As long as we gather together, it can even be said to be a weakened version of Wang Tong's army that year, and it is very simple to sweep these tribes on the grassland.

In the fight against the cavalry of the sects, I had no confidence at all, but after fighting with Chahar, I found that "it can be fought, and as long as the power of the natural city goes enough, I will even blame the advantage.

Since the time when the Han caravans in Guihua City were guarded, fighting between big and small battles made the Guihua City Merchants more and more confident and their ambitions became more and more expanding.

In the Hetao area west of Guihua City, various forces oppressed the ancient tribes more and more tightly. The Yellow River has many harms and only profits. The vast area west of Guihua City is a rare fertile land that can be cultivated in the northwest. Not only the wealthy merchants in Guihua City want, but also the generals and gates in the border towns facing the west of Datong, Shaanxi and Shanxi want to do so, and even the vassal kings and nobles in the northwest want to get involved.

The main rule of the Altan tribe on the grassland was in the vast area west of Guihua City. The Altan tribe was destroyed, and a vacuum appeared here. The remaining tribes of all sizes were quickly cleared by the merchant groups in Guihua City and the local forces in Shanxi and Shaanxi. However, this also brought problems, that is, what the commercial groups in Guihua City can get is the benefits of trade.

The wealthy families in Shanxi and Shaanxi are sufficiently manpowered and are also familiar with the grassland. They divide the territory and reclaim wasteland in the Hetao area, and they are not left behind. The business group of the Naihua City cannot compete with them. Everyone is doing business in Guihua City, but after all, they are all in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all from the Shanxi and Shaanxi area. Except for those merchants sent by the forces, the rest of the people have no deep foundation, so they naturally cannot compete.

The same old saying is that if a person is rich and peaceful, he will naturally not be willing to take the risk of profit. This person who is willing to do business in Guihua City may not have any wealth in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that the wealth in the west was divided by various forces, and except for Sanjiang Commercial Bank, there were not many others on his side, everyone was definitely unwilling to give in, but they couldn't fight. My little ones were all in the Shanxi and Shaanxi area, and they still had some concerns and dared not be tough.

Everyone could not eat in the west, and their eyes were all focused on the east, east of Guihua City. Although most of the ancient tribes there, Korqin, Chahar, and the three guards of Duoyan were all expressed their surrender to the Altan tribe back then, it was just a superficial surrender. The large tribes did their own things and even had conflicts with the Altan tribe.

There were not many conflicts with them against the three border towns in the eastern part of the grassland, Xuanfu, Jizhen and Liaozhen. The real big battle was the two battles that Wang Tong participated in and the one that was launched by Liaozhen recently.

Xuanfu and Jizhen seek stability and become the main force in defending. Liaozhen needs to raise thieves and respect themselves and use targets to seek wealth for their own family. There has not been much action in recent years.

The Korqin tribe occupies the most abundant water and grass, and has various connections with the ministries outside the pass. Although the Chahar tribe was suppressed by the Altan tribe and other tribes, it has been considered peaceful in recent years and has the great reputation of the Golden Family, which has also been maintained. In fact, the power of the two major tribes has been inflated.

Because the two large tribes are swollen, and because the three border towns of the Ming Dynasty are not weak, the two sides have always maintained a balanced but very tense situation, so the trade is only carried out in Zhangjiakou, Xuanfu, Xifengkou, Jizhen, and several very fixed places outside the border wall of Liao Town, and the scale is not large.

It was because of the addition of Sanjiang Commercial Bank that the scale of business here suddenly became larger, and the alkaline industry and livestock trade were extremely prosperous. But even so, in this area, the Ming merchants had very little relationship with the grassland, and the local forces had little to do with the grassland due to the blockage of the Yanshan Mountains.

In other words, on the vast grasslands on the east side of Guihua City to the wall of Liao Town, there are also fertile lands everywhere and large tribes full of wealth, but no one will come to grab them.

At present, the only ones who are interested in doing this and have the ability to do this are the business groups in Guihua City, how much land, how many cattle and sheep, and how much wealth. This is really tempting.

The conflicts with the Chahar tribe proved another thing: the merchant group in Guihua City is not unable to fight with them, and they may not suffer any losses if they fight.........

Meng Feng did not say so much in his letter, because the members of the business group would not say so much to him, but Sanjiang Commercial Bank had more detailed reports, because the members of the business group regarded Sanjiang Commercial Bank as their own people and Wang Tong as someone like them.

"..., there is no need for the marquis to send one army or another soldier. We are willing to conquer another naturalization for the marquis. Instead, we ask the marquis to report to the emperor tomorrow and send officials to assist the guards..."

Niu Gensheng said this. Looking at the heroic Ganyun, he actually said hello in advance. If the merchant team suffered a loss, the court would have to stand up. To put it bluntly, Wang Tong would still stand up.

"This is a fight with the children, and at first it's full of words, but after suffering a loss outside, I still have to ask the adults to stand up.

It is rare to be so lively in Wang Tong's study. Zhang Shiqiang, Sun Dahai, Gu Zibin and others from Tianjin Wei all came. Wang Tong said the contents of the letter and said with a smile.

There is a funny smile in front of me. Since joining Wangtong Group, Gu Zibin's property has expanded ten times or dozens of times. He also has the title of Jinyiwei General Banner, and his net worth has been greatly improved. However, he is the shopkeeper of Sanjiang Trading Company. He often runs on Guihua City, Xuanfu, and Tianjin Wei sides. He has worked hard. Not only does he have white hair on his temples, his face is darker than ordinary people, and he is all the hardships of running around.

"Mr. Marquis, Niu Gensheng and his team should have started preparing last year. A shop opened in Guihua City in October last year. This shop does not sell goods, but only provides guards for some merchants and merchants who first arrived in Guihua City. Some large merchants will also hire them when they are shipping goods. However, there are too many guards in this shop. The Xuanfu in Shanxi and even the martial artists in Henan were recruited. They are also the ones who buy the most firearms in Sanjiang Craftshop. Could it be that they were prepared for this?"

Wang Tong pondered for a while and said, "There was a letter from General Tan on this matter. He specially transferred groups to the farms around to naturalize them in order to prevent this shop, but there was no abnormal movement. He also asked the veterans and soldiers to General Tan and Hu Wei's army to be instructors. I thought it was a new business for those merchants. The ancient boss said this to be prepared for this."
