Chapter 226 The Qing court seeks peace (9)

Some heads of the Banner Alliance tribes also gathered together to discuss countermeasures, but at this time everyone thought of any good ways, and dragging on was not a solution, because the meeting announced by Kulun was getting closer and whether to go was the biggest issue.

Not going may become an excuse for Kulun to attack, and what problems can be solved if he goes, but in the end, most of the heads of the Banner Alliance tribes decided to go to Kulun. After all, they could not take the initiative to provide excuses for Kulun. Moreover, many people thought that everyone would object together, which might make Kulun take back his life or leave some property for the heads of the powerful. Of course, several tribes finally decided to leave.

Some tribes were personally sent to Kulun by the leader, while others were sent to represent them. However, after arriving at Kulun, they found that Kulun's situation seemed to have undergone tremendous changes, but they couldn't say what the changes were, because the streets were still the same as the original streets, the buildings were still the same as the original buildings, and they were still so lively. Except for soldiers wearing gray-green military uniforms walking by from time to time, there was no other change.

However, some people finally saw the difference. Among the pedestrians on the street, there were fewer nobles wearing silk clothes and high-spirited tortoises, and fewer monks, while those wearing coarse animal skins and fluffy hair. Some people observed more carefully and found that the expression and spirit of the herdsmen were very different from the original ones, with a smile on their faces and a refreshing smile.

In the Kulun market, there are several stalls lined up in long queues. Herders come and go, shuttled between different stalls. Some people paid close attention to it. Some stalls purchased animal skins, bones, medicinal materials and other items brought by herders, while others sold rice, flour, salt, cloth, tea, utensils, utensils and other items. Many herders brought a large bag and then took away a large bag.

Although Kulun is the commercial center of Mobei, herdsmen have never been the main force in transactions. Because they are very few herdsmen who have changed a lot of items at once, because the herdsmen are not rich overall. Except for a very small number of free herdsmen, herdsmen who rely on powerful people generally have poor trading capabilities. There has almost never been a case where a large number of herdsmen participate and conduct large-scale transactions.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, the People's Army's convoy arrived in Kulun again, and this time more than half of the cars were loaded with goods sold to herders. Now the daily order of Kulun has been restored, but business has not yet improved. Firstly, the war has just ended, and compared with social order, the recovery of commerce is slower; secondly, more than 60% of Kulun's commerce is trade with Russia, and now the East China ** is about to expel Russian power in Mongolia, so naturally, the activities of Russian merchants are temporarily restricted. This is the result of the economy having to give way to politics.

To restore Kulun's commercial prosperity, the lack of Russian merchants was lacking, so it could only be filled by East China. After the distribution of property and property, the herdsmen had considerable property and trade ability. Moreover, Kulun had a large demand for mainland goods. Therefore, Jinzhou City immediately organized a batch of goods to transport the convoy to Kulun. At the same time, it also planned to acquire a batch of Mongolian specialties in Kulun, so that the convoy could fully utilize the transportation capacity of the convoy.

Sure enough, after the goods arrived in Kulun, the herdsmen participated in the transaction in great success. On the one hand, the herdsmen now have property; on the other hand, some goods are the urgent needs of the herdsmen, so after the market opened, the transaction was very enthusiastic.

However, in the past, Kulun's commodity trading was made of silver and copper coins, and there were also a considerable degree of transactions to barter. One was because Mongolia was insufficient in currency, and the other was that ordinary herders did not save money, and there was not much to trade, so they could barter. This was often deceived by merchants. Bijing herders' demand for salt, cloth, tea, and utensils was a rigid need, while most merchants looked down on the things in ordinary herders' homes. The transactions between the two sides were at an averaging level, so naturally the herders suffered a lot.

However, after the goods from East China arrived, they settled in silver dollars as currency, and instead first purchased the herdsmen's goods and paid the silver dollars. Then the herdsmen then took the silver dollars to buy the goods they needed, and also provided silver and copper coins to exchange silver dollars for silver dollars.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, it is difficult to estimate the price of transaction items based on barter, and it is not conducive to statistics and accounting; on the other hand, East China ** also took the opportunity to promote silver dollars in Mongolia, so that the currency it issued can circulate in Mongolia, which can not only promote the economic development of Mongolia, but also strengthen the control of East China ** over Mongolia. In order to make its currency trusted by herdsmen as soon as possible, it will be circulated in Mongolia. This time, the currencies invested in Mongolia are all silver dollars, and there are no paper money, which is easier for herdsmen to accept.

Although herders were not used to using currency before, they did not understand the value of currency. After all, silver and copper coins can be bought. The simple and simple truth of herders all understood this simple and simple truth. Moreover, the herders wanted to trade far more items than before. It is indeed difficult to calculate based on barter transactions. After clearly marking the price, the price of goods is clear and clear at a glance. Even if most herders do not know the number, the number of silver dollars is still much more convenient. Moreover, the prices set by the East China ** are very fair. Most herders still have a certain amount of surplus after purchasing the items they need. In addition, the items traded this time are basically obtained when the property is distributed, and can also be regarded as a gift from the East China ***. There is no big difference between silver coins and silver, so the herders have no objection to this currency transaction.

Today is the first day of the opening of the market, so it seems extremely popular. Although there are some things in mind, many powerful people squeezed into the crowd and watched the transaction for a while. Some even observed the goods and prices provided by East China **, and they also admitted that the quality of the goods is medium and upper level, while the price can be considered to be medium and lower. If it were in the original state, the powerful people would cover all the prices, and then buy them with 20% of them, and they could make a big profit. Now, East China ** is sold to herders at a relatively low price, which naturally makes people feel a pity.

But this is just thinking that Kulun is the leader of the East China **, and they love these items to buy for herders at a low price, so they can only let them go. Now they still have a lot of trouble! Then they are in the mood to care about other things.

The city of Kulun has been well equipped with personnel to receive representatives of the Banner and League tribes. The city was originally a guest house and had been cleaned up long ago to entertain representatives of the Banner and League tribes. The etiquette is very thoughtful and the food supply is very rich, which makes the representatives of the Banner and League tribes a little at ease.

A few days later, representatives from the various flag alliance tribes arrived. Kulun did not directly recruit them to meet and organized them to watch a military tournament.

It turned out that the first batch of troops stationed in Kulun had arrived in a regiment, and the cavalry and armored motors that were planned to stay here had enough troops. Another regiment would arrive soon and would send troops to replace the troops stationed in Uyali Sutai City. Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang also received an order from the command center, requiring the two to handle Kulun's affairs, and then lead their respective troops to evacuate Kulun and return to Jinzhou. At the same time, they asked the two to write a detailed combat report. This time, the use of armored motors in the war was tested and relevant experience was accumulated. Therefore, it is also time to summarize and divide the matters.

The military handover has been completed, and the newly arrived Kulun garrison has taken over Kulun's defense in full. At this time, Gong Jianyang proposed that the army would hold a military parade before leaving to show the military power of the East China tribes to the representatives of the flag alliance tribes, and at the same time, the Kulun people could also watch it.

Although the People's Army achieved a major victory in this Mongolian War and shocked the entire Mongolian region, the Mongolian army participating in the war was basically annihilated by the People's Army on the battlefield. Therefore, among the tribes of the Banner Alliance, not many people have experienced this war and have no intuitive understanding of the People's Army. Holding a military parade will help enable representatives of the tribes of the Banner Alliance to see the military authority of the People's Army with their own eyes. Aircraft can also be officially unveiled in this parade, playing a role in power and preparing for the next meeting.

After Ouyang Longxing asked the command center, he agreed to Gong Jianyang's request. At this time, the airport had built a runway about 300 meters long, which was enough for the propeller aircraft to take off. Moreover, the aircraft transported were also tested after inspection and commissioning, which proved that the fuselages of these six aircraft were in good condition and could be fully performed flight training.

The entire parade was not large in scale and did not last long. It was only about 40 minutes before and after, and it was divided into three parts: infantry, cavalry and armored combat vehicles. Due to the short preparation time, the queue was not too neat, and it was far from the uniform level required by the parade. However, the soldiers had just experienced the war and were the winners. Therefore, each platoon was full of murderous intent and imposing momentum, and the slogans were shouted loudly. Since it was the armored combat vehicle phalanx behind it, this was the first time that the armored combat vehicle flares during the parade. The huge body and gun barrel also brought heavy oppression to the people watching.

The people of Kulun who watched it cheered and applauded again and again. For them, Kulun's force is naturally as powerful as possible, and the representatives of the Banner Alliance tribe also left a profound impression. Many people were amazed that the People's Army was indeed extremely powerful.

The finale was a plane, one by one, flying over the runway and flying into the sky. Many people watching even knelt down and worshiped them. Many representatives changed their colors after watching them. Some were even secretly shocked and wondered if there were any gods to help them in East China. After all, people in this era had a strong sense of awe for what could fly.

Although Gong Jianyang explained to them that this thing was not a magical artifact, it was just a machine, and the principle of the armored combat vehicles I just saw was the same. There were still many more in East China, and a batch of aircraft would be shipped to Kulun soon.
