Chapter 708: Entering the City with a Great Victory
When Xie Erjian walked over, Cen Lan was standing in front of a pile of trophies, fiddling with an arquebus, only to hear a wolf soldier leader next to him say very casually: "Boss, this thing should be very valuable, we have captured a total of thirty-six poles, and we won't use it anyway, or sell it to the officers and soldiers, and then you can ask the senior official over there to see how much silver he has paid, if it is less than two taels of silver, we won't sell it to him." ”
Xie Erjian almost fell headlong, frowning his sword eyebrows and coughing, Cen Lan and the leader looked up, the former saw Xie Erjian, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he beckoned and smiled: "Xie Erjian, come here, the thief's musket seems to be a little different from the musket of your five hundred battalions." ”
Xie Erjian couldn't help but have black lines on his head, but he still walked over, and said lightly: "How can the Westerners' arquebuses compare to the flintlock pistols of our five hundred battalions, Governor Cen, please, Your Excellency the Governor will let you go over and see you." ”
After Xie Erjian finished speaking, he turned around and left, stopped after two steps, and said in a cold voice: "It is forbidden to take the capture on the battlefield as your own, and all of them will be handed over, this is a military regulation, and you have a bad idea, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law." ”
The leader of the wolf soldiers scratched the back of his head and asked inexplicably, "Boss, what do you mean?" ”
Cen Lan said: "It means that these spoils of war belong to the imperial court, and we can't swallow them privately." ”
"Phew, think beautifully, what our people exchanged for their blood and lives, why does it belong to the imperial court, this kid is too much, his subordinates will teach him a lesson." The leader of the wolf soldiers showed a fierce light in his eyes, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to catch up with Xie Erjian to teach Xie Erjian a lesson, but was kicked to the ground by Cen Lan.
The leader of the wolf soldiers was really skinny, and he was kicked in the head, and immediately got up and patted his ass as if nothing happened, and looked at his boss in bewilderment.
Cen Lan reprimanded with a cold face: "Wanan, this is the territory of the Han family, we have to abide by the rules of others, don't cause trouble for me, besides, can you beat others?" Don't embarrass me......"
The leader of the wolf soldiers, who had been fierce just now, bowed his head in fear, and was scolded like a lamb. Although the leader of the people is elected by everyone, he has absolute power over life and death, and all clansmen must obey unconditionally.
Cen Lan taught her subordinates a stern lesson, and immediately returned to the appearance of the girl next door, put her hands in the big pockets of her apron, trotted to catch up with Xie Erjian, and said with a smile: "Xie Yishi, wait a minute!" ”
Xie Erjian stood still, and glanced at this foreign-race woman with bright eyes and bright teeth and a flying look in a complicated mood, and he was a little stunned.
Cen Lan sneered: "What are you looking at, haven't you seen a beautiful woman?" ”
Xie Erjian couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed, frowned and warned: "Don't be so rude in front of the Governor in the future. After saying that, he turned around and left, Cen Lan pursed his lips and followed.
"My lord, Governor Cen brought it!" Xie Erjian took Cen Lan to Xu Jin and bowed his hand, and the latter also hurriedly pulled out his hands in his pockets, arched his hand arrogantly, and said: "Tianzhou Governor Cen Lan, see Lord Governor." ”
Xu Jin glanced at Cen Lan, and felt more and more that this woman had bright eyes and bright teeth, and her heroic spirit was compelling, and she smiled: "Governor Cen doesn't need to be polite, this official will introduce you, this is Wang Lin'er, the commander of the 500 battalion." ”
Wang Lin'er bowed her hand politely, and Cen Lan also bowed her hand and greeted her, but she responded decently.
"This is the commander of the 500 battalion, Xie Erjian." Xu Jin continued.
Cen Lan looked at Xie Erjian with a smile, and said with a smile: "Ai, it turns out that your name is Xie Erjian, why don't you call it Yijian?" Do you have two swords? ”
Han Dajie and the other Jinyi guards almost laughed, and some people even looked at Xie Laoer's crotch obscenely, and said secretly, Xie Yishi didn't have two swords, one in his hand and one hanging there.
Wang Lin'er couldn't help but sweat secretly, it was really a barbarian woman, if it was a Han woman, who would dare to "tease" a man in public.
Xu Jin, a modern person, naturally didn't feel what was there, and explained with a smile: "Xie Yishi is the second in the family, and there is a big brother named Xie Yidao above, and a younger brother named Xie Sangun below. ”
Cen Lan giggled and said, "What kind of sword, sword, gun, could it be that Xie Baishi's family is an iron shop?" ”
Xie Erjian's face couldn't help but sink, and Zhou Jianjun hurriedly reprimanded when he saw this: "Governor Cen, don't be rude." ”
Cen Lanbai Xie Erjian glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You can't make jokes, okay, I won't tease you, it's still easy for the Governor to talk." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat, and introduced Qi Jingtong and Zhao Datou and other backbone of the 500 battalion. Cen Lan pointed at Song Dayan and asked, "Lord Governor, you haven't introduced this warrior yet!" ”
Song Dayan was injured by a sharp arrow when he captured the flag just now, and at this time he left a terrible blood mark on his face, and he stood behind Xu Jin with an iron rod, like an iron tower King Kong.
"He is the official's personal follower Song Big Eyes, Big Eyes, give Governor Song a salute!" Xu Jin introduced.
Song Dayan poked the fifty-pound iron rod to the ground, and the ground around him trembled three times, and he arched his hand casually. Cen Lan nodded appreciatively and said, "Lord Governor's side is really fierce. ”
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Now that Governor Cen has arrived, this official is even more powerful. ”
"Lord Xu praised it falsely!" Cen Lan raised her chin and arched her hand proudly, but when she put her hands down, she habitually inserted them into the pockets of her apron, and when she realized that something was wrong, she hurriedly pulled her hand out again, and smirked with a wry expression, which was a little cute.
Xie Erjian turned his head speechlessly, without looking!
"Ahem, Lord Governor, the lower official has a question that I don't know whether to ask!" Cen Lan cleared her throat to save herself, and then asked Zhengrong.
"Governor Cen, please speak!" Xu Jin felt more and more interesting about this pretty widow.
Cen Lan glanced at Xie Erjian and asked cautiously, "How much is a Westerner's musket worth?" ”
Xie Erjian almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, this ...... How dare a woman ask!
Xu Jin was slightly stunned, and said after a moment of silence: "The cost of the Westerners' arquebuses is unknown, but our flintlock pistols cost six or seven taels of silver. ”
Cen Lan's eyes lit up: "It's so valuable!" ”
In the past, when the military bureau created a batch of flintlock pistols, the average cost was ten taels of silver, but now that the technology is more mature, the cost has begun to drop, but it still costs six or seven taels of silver.
Xie Erjian was probably worried that this person who really dared to sell guns to Xu Jin at a price, so he hurriedly interjected: "The arquebus of Westerners is far inferior to the flintlock pistol, and the cost is at most one or two taels of silver." ”
Xu Jin glanced at Xie Erjian strangely, the second brother-in-law has never been a person who talks much, he usually looks calm and light-hearted, and he doesn't care about anything, which is a bit abnormal!
Fortunately, what Xie Erjian was worried about did not happen, Cen Lan did not offer Xu Jin a price to sell guns, everyone exchanged a few more words, and Xu Jin ordered to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, and treat the wounded.
Two hours later, the results came out, a total of more than 4,000 beheadings, 2,000 prisoners, 20 Franc machine guns, more than 50 horses, more than 60 muskets, more than 800 large and small ships, and a large number of various weapons, this was undoubtedly another beautiful victory.
Of course, the wolf soldiers also paid a lot of price, with nearly 1,000 casualties, and the losses of the 500 battalion were very slight, with less than 100 casualties, which was the advantage of their own equipment.
Next, Xu Jin left a part of his men and horses to garrison the camp of Linshanwei, and then led his soldiers and horses back to Yuyao County. At this time, the people and defenders in the city have dug through the bricks and stones blocking the city gate, and the county commander Qiu Yu led a group of local officials and gentry to respectfully go out of the city to greet them, however, Xie Qian, the veteran of the Three Dynasties, was not present, and throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were only a handful of people who were qualified to let him go out of the city to greet him, and Xu Jin was obviously not among them.
"Qiu Yu, the commander of Yuyao County, see Lord Governor!" Seeing Xu Jin surrounded by brocade guards, Qiu County Ling hurriedly and solemnly tossed the sleeves of his official robe, and then led the crowd to come forward and salute.
"See the Governor!" The gentry also saluted respectfully.
Xu Jin turned over and dismounted, his eyes swept over the gentry in the county in front of him, and said calmly: "You don't have to be polite!" ”
After another introduction and greetings, Qiu County Ling invited Xu Jin and the generals to the city for a banquet. At this time, it was already afternoon, Xu Jin and the generals were already hungry, so they went into the city with them, and the five hundred battalions and wolf soldiers were stationed outside the city, and their own local officials and gentry slaughtered pigs and sheep for comfort.
