Chapter 217 The Sadness of a Small Tribe
He brought a few nobles from the tribe and insisted on inviting Wang An to their bonfire party.

This was the first time Wang An dealt with these herdsmen and he was staying in their tribe, so he had to give them some face.

So, under the encouragement of the crowd, Zhao Dekui and several veterans were called to join.

This was Wang An's first time to attend a bonfire party organized by nomadic people on the grassland. He wasn't sure whether it was grand or not, but the enthusiasm was really great.

Because Hugetu pushed his daughter into his arms and kept saying that if Wang An liked, he could be his son-in-law, and that he didn't need to stay in the tribe and could take his daughter directly back to Ming Dynasty.

Although Hugetu was very enthusiastic, Wang An could only decline his invitation.

After all, no one can accept a woman who is twice their size as a daughter-in-law.

During the wedding night, no one knew who was pressing whom.

It can be seen that Hugetu often dealt with the people of Damingshan who passed by and was very clear about the aesthetic taste of the Han people.

Although he was somewhat regretful that he failed to successfully sell his own daughter, he still wanted to win over Wang An, a sucker who was willing to exchange precious survival supplies for grease.

Hugetu gritted his teeth and sent someone to find a fairly beautiful Mongolian woman.

And at Hugetu's warm greeting, he pushed the woman into Wang An's arms.

Strictly speaking, this woman is not very beautiful, but coupled with her exotic style, she is still quite attractive.

What's more, the host was so enthusiastic that Wang An felt that it would be a bit shameless if he didn't accept it.

However, while he was touching her, he suddenly heard Hugetu say: "This is my new wife. Let her spend a wonderful night with you tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Wang An immediately pushed the woman out of his arms as if he had been electrocuted. His three views exploded and he said, "This, this, this... How can this be so embarrassing!"

However, Hugetu waved his hand generously and said righteously: "You Ming people have a saying, brothers are like limbs and women are like clothes. For us eagles on the grassland, what we value most is brotherhood. What can women count for?"

In his previous life, Wang An seemed to have heard that some ethnic minorities would use their wives to entertain guests, but he never thought that such a thing would actually happen to him, and he found it difficult to accept it for a while.

Although Wang An did not consider himself a gentleman, he even had some tendencies like Cao Cao.

But no matter what his inclination was, he couldn't accept the fact that he had to carry someone else's wife into the yurt in front of her husband.

So he made an excuse, hoping Hugetu could respect his own national customs, which was never to play with his brothers' women.

Seeing that Wang An spoke so seriously, Hugetu had no choice but to give up.

However, looking at the other party's lost look, Wang An also knew what Hugetu was thinking.

He just wanted to win over this sucker so that he could do business with his tribe next time he passed through the grassland.

Hugetu didn't need to say more, Wang An would come too.

So he said, "Hugtuta Bunang, to be honest, I actually have some industries in the capital of Daming that require a lot of oil, so as long as the price is right, this can be a long-term cooperation."

"According to my plan, I will go to the grassland once or twice a month. As for the specific time, it has not been determined yet, but I will let you know when I come next time." "But I hope that when I come to the Kneeling Tribe next time, the people of the Kneeling Tribe can prepare the grease in advance."

"After all, when we do business, efficiency is the most important thing. We can't waste too much time like we did today."

"You know..." Wang An raised his eyelids and said meaningfully, "I have a stable cooperative relationship and deep friendship with King Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe. The main reason why I travel back and forth to the grassland is to trade with Lindan Khan."

Wang An's words were mainly meant to formally warn Hugetu to prevent him from having any improper intentions towards the caravan he sent out when he was away.

As Wang An expected, the name of Lindan Khan was mentioned, which immediately shocked Hugetu.

Originally, Hugetu thought that Wang An was just an ordinary smuggler traveling along the grassland, but he didn't expect that he had such a deep background.

Hugetu was very curious about how an ordinary businessman could get in touch with Ligdan Khan.

Wang An did not hide anything and directly revealed his identity: the official supplier designated by the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty and the sworn brother of Man Gui, the general of Datong Prefecture.

The designated supplier of Mongolian Khan Ligdan Khan.

As long as they reveal their identities, they will know that none of them are from the Hugetu tribe, a small tribe with only a few hundred people that they can afford to provoke.

Even if we exclude the official background of the Ming Dynasty court and Ligdan Khan, just by looking at the hundreds of men around Wang An, one can sense something extraordinary.

Although most of these people were old or disabled, many of them wore Ming Dynasty's mandarin duck battle jackets. The scars on their faces and their temperament showed that they were veterans who had survived hundreds of battles.

If a fight really breaks out, both sides will be equally matched.

Although Wang An's men are all disabled, old and weak, Hugetu's men are not all combat soldiers.

After knowing Wang An's background, Hugetu immediately wanted to make friends with him, and even put himself in a very low position in his words and actions.

This is also a helpless move. After all, the current situation in the Mongolian grasslands is very chaotic.

Today you hit me and tomorrow I hit you. Today, Ligdan Khan announces his decree, and tomorrow the thirty-six Kharchin families come with the Jiannu to show off their power.

Their small tribe of only 500 people was like being caught in a crack and could only survive with difficulty.

If you can really find a big partner, it will undoubtedly be an excellent choice for Huge hiking.

Wang An's identity, background and financial resources all prove that he is also a powerful figure.

The key is that Wang An has a certain official background in the Ming Dynasty, and his sworn brother is the general of Datong Prefecture. Datong Prefecture is not far from Huge Buxing. To put it bluntly, if he can't make it one day, he doesn't have to run too far to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

After understanding the interests involved, Hugetu became even more resentful. Why did the Ming people have the custom of not touching their brothers' women?
Then he started to blame himself, wondering why none of the daughters he gave birth to were pleasing to the people when he was such a strong and handsome man.

They are all fat and strong, and you can tell at a glance that they are fertile and capable of working!
The aesthetic taste of these Ming people is really hard to describe.

If Wang An could hear Hugetu's inner voice, he would probably be speechless to the point of vomiting blood.
