Chapter 979: Sending Silver

"The city tower over there is Da Pankou," Zhang Xianzhong handed the monocular to the squadron leader and said, "I have been in Wanli for forty-four years, and I can't be wrong." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The North Captives are over there."

Zhang Xianzhong pointed to the northeast again and said: "When I came here in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, the pastures of the Beilu were more than ten miles away, and they dared to graze over there in the real grassland places. It's only been less than ten years, and you're actually grazing outside your mouth? ”

"It's not that simple." The squadron leader said: "The top said that these dogs are here to knock on the Daming bamboo pole and ask for a reward from the horse market." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said angrily: "The court won't give it, right?" Beiyu told us to fight back, if the upper level has sufficient financial resources, it is not difficult to fight all the way to the lair of the Han. ”

"Who knows." The squadron leader said: "The boss called us over, but it wasn't just to come and observe nearby." ”

"I see." Zhang Xianzhong said: "But don't let us Lao Tzu see the court give them silver, otherwise Lao Tzu will have to die of anger." ”

The squadron leader said: "This silver can't be taken so easily, what are we doing with the chaser battalion?" What are we doing here? ”

Zhang Xianzhong's body shook slightly, he didn't expect the squadron leader to actually fight this idea.

"You can't beat it hard." The squadron leader touched his chin and said: "But I don't dare to go up if I have the opportunity, I am not worthy of being a merchant regiment soldier of He Yusheng, and I am not worthy of receiving the salary and dividends from the adults." Huang Hu, you already have more than 100 acres of land, work hard, strive to get a big hundreds of acres, thousands of acres of land dividends, in the future when you are old, you will enjoy happiness, the day damn, Lao Tzu wants to learn from the original landlord in the village, the family is full of bulging big tits maids waiting, every day holding a small teapot to listen to music and watch the play, the Zhuang people have to respect, calling him an old member, he is a bullshit outsider, Lao Tzu may not be inferior to him in the future. Huang Hu, do you dare to do anything with me? ”

Zhang Xianzhong listened to it with a warm heart, and said: "Lao Tzu can't read and write, I'm afraid he can't be an officer, but if he has military merits and experience, he can be a sergeant major, and he will not be able to get thousands of acres of land in the future, and he may not be able to be an outsider." Captain, you just have to give the order then. ”

At this time, the squadron leader said again: "You must also see the right time, no matter how great the credit is, it can't be compared with your life." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong felt much more relieved.

……

"That's 120,000 taels of silver, and you can check it."

The one who spoke was a guerrilla of the Chinese army, and he was also the governor of Jiliao, Wu Yingshi, a middle-aged general in his thirties, born with a dignified appearance and a tall figure.

This Chinese army is usually full of delicate air, as the military attache of the Chinese army as the governor, even if it is an ordinary civilian official, he must be polite to him, not to mention an ordinary general, here in Jizhen, he can almost walk sideways.

But today's errand made him feel embarrassed, ashamed, and humiliated, so when he spoke, this Chinese guerrilla had a straight face and a very unhappy look.

Some of the generals in Jizhen also have the same feeling, so most of the generals did not come, only some military attaches who were stationed to the level of a thousand generals, with a considerable number of personal soldiers and family members as guards, after they went out, the towering gate behind them was closed again, that is to say, in case life changes, they can only find their own way of life and seek more blessings for themselves.

"Go up and check!"

Big brain hair is very happy, but he tries to keep a straight face.

It is impossible for the people of the Ming Kingdom to see that they care about this silver very much, which is also what Lin Dan Khan ordered before he came here.

How could the wolves who had repeatedly committed border offenses and often invaded the interior of the Ming Dynasty to loot wealth become a group of beggars who ran to the border of the Ming Kingdom for extortion?

The Mongols' creed was to take it by force, not to blackmail the Ming people to give them money, as is the case now.

It may be precisely because of this psychology that in history, after Lin Dan Khan extorted hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty, he still invaded from the border after defeating the Tumut Department and occupying the territory of Mochuan, defeated the garrison soldiers and horses of Datong Town, burned and looted everywhere, killed tens of thousands of Datong soldiers and civilians, besieged Datong Mansion City, and narrowly broke through the city wall.

Compared to the changes brought about by decades of peace between right-wing Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, left-wing Mongolia is still a pack of wolves, a group of wolves that have not been taught a lesson.

The Ming army sent all the official silver from the Beijing Division, and after the silver box was opened, there was a burst of silver light.

The Mongols giggled and counted the silver, and many people looked arrogant, squinting at the Ming soldiers who escorted the silver out.

The Ming army's expressions were also not good, and there was a feeling of needles on both sides.

"I'm familiar with this errand." A Mongolian man said loudly in impure Chinese: "When I was in Guangning, 40,000 at a time, 100,000 at a time, all of them were given by the barbarian governor Wang Huazhen, counting on our Great Khan to fight the Jurchens for them." You do not know that the courtesy with which Baba gave his money is like the filial piety of a son to his father. ”

The Mongols were not very bitter and mean, but the Ming troops present were all embarrassed.

A Ming army did not accept it at night and scolded in a low voice: "Beiyu of the dog day, let's do this errand, it's really a shame to kill the ancestors." ”

A general around him heard it and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, if you disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you when I go back." For now, I will go back and put you in the camp. ”

The military laws and regulations of the Ming army are indeed very strict, corporal punishment is very common, and the slightest carelessness is beheading, and the officers of the Ming army may not like the errand in front of them, and there is no lack of humiliation, but their feelings are different from ordinary soldiers, they just feel that they have hurt their faces, and they are not like the night in front of them, there is a simple national feeling.

"Lao Tzu is no longer serving."

I didn't listen to it at night, squinted at the general manager, and said: "You birds, you know how to deduct our salaries, raise more than a dozen wives by yourself, and spend all day drinking and being happy, how can you really do your own things well." If you had a little conscience, we wouldn't have given these damned captives money like this. ”

The general anger trembled, and shouted: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, come here, take him down." ”

As soon as he turned over at night, he got on his horse and said, "There are Hutchison's soldiers and horses on the grassland, and they are more like men than you." I'd rather lead a horse for a good man than be an ancestor for Lai Han, Lao Tzu is gone! ”

This night is not to take the grassland road, Dapankou to Gubeikou this area of the grassland is so ripe that it can no longer be cooked, he is also on the grassland many times to meet the merchant soldiers, has long moved the mind of the effect, today to see such a scene, a cloud of anger in the heart can not bear it, simply rode away directly.

The generals of the Ming army were dumbfounded, and they couldn't react for a while, but a group of Mongolians saw it, and they fell back and forth with laughter, which made the Ming generals even more embarrassed.

"Here's the receipt."

A Mongolian general contemptuously handed over a receipt to the Chinese army guerrillas of the Ming army, this Mongolian general is really used to doing such a thing, he knows that the silver is not tight, in short, the receipt must be given, anyway, the Ming court pays for it, these generals feel embarrassed at most, but no one will feel sorry for the silver, and no one will be angry as that night does not collect, would rather go out of the Ming border army, than do such an errand.

"Nanban is really weak and useless."

"We haven't attacked Jizhen for a long time, and the Ming generals here seem to be inferior to Liaozhen."

"On that day we moved east, and gave a large area of pasture land to Altan Khan and the Tumuts, but they started trading with the Ming people, what a joke, the Mongols rode south, with knives and guns, and they had to be allowed by the Ming people to take their things?"

"Silver, gold, and grain, but take them under our bows and horses."

"Yes, that's the right way."

"The Great Khan was right in deciding to move west, and the Tumuts and the Ming border army were by no means our opponents."

"Moving West...... The Merchant Regiment ......"

A group of Mongols have regained their self-esteem in the generals of Jizhen, and what is in front of them was originally their original intention.

Lin Dan Khan was bent on moving west smoothly to get better territory, more opportunities to blackmail and rob the Ming people.

However, at this time, they suddenly remembered the merchant army, the cold wall that stood in front of their desires, all their desires were shattered by reality, and everyone was silent again.

Now no Mongol dares to pat his chest and say that he will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the merchant army, especially the many times that the superior forces, thousands of people have suffered heavy losses in battles with hundreds of people, and they can't break through at all. And skirmishes were fought almost every day, and the merchant armies were almost everywhere on the long fronts, fighting the Mongols in the hills, in the mountains, in the steppes, by the rivers, in the warm lands, everywhere there were merchant soldiers in red or gray military robes, everywhere there were their loud trumpets and horns, everywhere there were fierce drums and cries of battle.

The merchant army was the most formidable enemy that the left-wing Mongols had ever seen, well-equipped, incomparably determined to fight, and extremely skilled in fighting and fighting, and hardly gave the Mongols any chance.

In any battle, there was never a feeling of being evenly matched, giving the Mongols a chance to win.

In any battle, the Mongols would hit their heads and bleed from beginning to end, and eventually retreated in despair.

There is no chance of victory, never.

Although the merchant army only has about a quarter of the strength of the Mongols on the long front, no Chahar Mongols doubt their strength, many people are rejoicing, fortunately, the task of the merchant army is to block them, in a fierce battle of different sizes, there are almost few records of the merchant army taking advantage of the victory to pursue, just to block the Mongols to be satisfied, many Mongolian nobles are privately discussing, why the merchant army never gathers the main force to try to fight, or take advantage of the victory to pursue, oppress the Chahar people, Get more and bigger wins?

The smiles of all the Mongols were retracted, and an atmosphere of frustration arose, which made the Ming generals on the opposite side very surprised and incomprehensible.
