"There's a little cabinet over here." Jiang Dalin opened the cabinet door and said: "There is a tea hanger in the cotton cloth, as well as a cup, tea, and a plate of small orders, the old horse will really enjoy it." ”

"Needless to say, Ma Dongzhu has come out."

Ma Chaoren really walked out surrounded by several long-term followers, who were also carrying a lot of items, which were not placed on this four-wheeled vehicle, but on another old-fashioned two-wheeled vehicle.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Zhang," Ma Chaoren saw the two people in the car and said with a smile: "How about my car?" ”

"Good car, good car." Robin Zhang said: "I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money, I'm afraid it will cost a thousand gold?" ”

"How can it be worth so much!"

As soon as this car was bought, Ma Chaoren felt that it was worth the money, and the general two-wheeled car was only a few dozen taels of silver, but this car in front of him could make people estimate the value of "a thousand gold", because from the workmanship to all the details, it was meticulously crafted, so that people had to feel unusually expensive.

"Is that geometry?" Jiang Dalin chased and asked, it is common for their businessmen to go out, and it would be best if they had the car in front of them.

"Let's not talk about it, how about the two of you go around in circles with me?"

This time, Robin Zhang hurriedly said: "It's the best!" ”

After the three sat down, the driver shook the whip, the body shook a few times, and then the three heard the sound of the wheels, the car was slowly moving forward, and after a while, the three felt that the body vibrated a little bigger, and then Jiang Dalin looked out the window and said in shock: "Why don't you feel how to shake, this car is running so fast?" ”

Robin Zhang naturally looked outward, but when he saw the car speeding, the wheels under the window were spinning fast, and the street scenes on both sides were also passing by quickly, and the exclamations of many people around kept coming.

"Brother Ma!" Robin Zhang hurriedly said: "I don't know what the price is?" ”

"Two hundred gold."

Jiang Dalin exclaimed: "So cheap? ”

"yes." Ma Chaoren said with a smile: "This is Zhang Dong's goodwill to advocate the inspection of adults, he knows that I often go out, and often go to Zhuangzi, my identity is to be able to sit in a sedan chair, but it is not easy to travel long distances in a sedan chair, I have always been in a car, the vibration is strong and very cramped, so I was specially given a 'ticket', but I can buy this car." ”

"Tickets?" Jiang Dalin asked, "What is this?" ”

Ma Chaohumane: "Heyusheng's utensils, there are about no inferior ones, they are all made by Seiko, and the quality is above ordinary items." However, most of them used it for their own use, especially this big cart, which was a sharp weapon for traveling thousands of miles with Yusheng's mules and horses, and it was never sold to the public. This 'ticket' is their internal benefit, and only by merit and seniority can they receive this ticket, and then purchase it internally, which is considered a benefit. Most of their shopkeepers now have this car, and there are also archers and officers who have worked hard, so it is really not easy to get out of this car. ”

After listening, Robin Zhang said with some frustration: "This car is very cheap and worth the money, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to buy this car." ”

Jiang Dalin thought to himself that he didn't have this qualification, if they hadn't quit the Chamber of Commerce, they would still be able to work hard, but now they had to sigh and dare not have the idea of buying a car.

"Recently, because of the relationship between the Chinese New Year, and Yusheng sent a lot of tickets, selling cars with tickets, I heard that the tickets are also very high now, if you are interested, I can inquire for you."

"Forget it." Jiang Dalin pondered for a moment, and said with regret: "I don't want to get too close to He Yusheng now. ”

Robin Zhang also said: "Come to ...... today"

"I know." Ma Chaoren had a slight contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was not obvious, he said, "You two may not know where I am going?" I'm going to Li Zhuang, and the items I bring are all New Year's goods, in addition to me, there are also many merchants and gentry who also go to Li Zhuang to comfort the archers of the Inspection Division, if there is anything out of place for the two, I think there is no need to say it again, right? ”

……

When Ma Chaoren arrived at Li Zhuang, he found that in addition to him, some big businessmen and proprietors who came by chariot and horse also came.

There are only two days before the New Year, and there are jubilant crowds everywhere in the inspection department, and the taste of the New Year is very full, and there are dozens of carts at the gate of the archer's camp.

He didn't know a few, but he only knew that there weren't many merchants from Tianchengwei and Zhenyuwei, after all, everyone was still watching the wind...... After Zhang Han defeated Fan Yongdou, the victory and defeat had been divided, if it weren't for Han Qi suddenly coming so suddenly, maybe the flow of people at the gate of this camp would be ten times more, with a patrol army gate staring at He Yusheng and Zhang Han, except for a few people, I am afraid that no one is optimistic about Zhang Han, even Ma Chaoren himself feels that Zhang Han is a little dangerous, just because of the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce, and in addition, he has some trust and expectations for Zhang Han in his heart, plus Ma Chaoren feels that he also owes He Yusheng a lot of favors...... The four-wheeler in front of you is a clear example of this.

"Master Ma, it is a sign of sincerity to come in vain, so why bring so many things."

It was Sun Jingting who came out to entertain Ma Chaoren, both of them had fame, the position was equal, Sun Jingting was wearing a royal blue straight embellishment, and he looked radiant, he had just sent away Li Dayong and Ma Huaxian and others in Lingqiu, and then Ma Chaoren and others came over, so Sun Jingting became in a good mood...... Things don't matter, there are some frozen big fish, pork, live chickens, rice, noodles, and other kinds of food, and some merchants sent some strange things to Zhang Han, and those who were put away by the people of the Attendant Bureau and kept them for Zhang Han to come back and dispose of.

"A little thing, it's not worth anything." Ma Chaoren said a few words of humility and said, "Hasn't Lord Zhang come back yet?" ”

"Nope." Sun Jingting said with a smile: "It should be in the Hengshan Mountain Range in the Lingqiu area now. ”

"I heard that I was going to fight Yu Shiqian?" Ma Chaoren said with some concern: "Actually, Lord Zhang has arrested more than 300 thieves this year, even if the governor finds fault with it, no matter how hard he fights the bandits, I'm afraid it won't help." ”

"Adults have their own considerations." Sun Jingting said with a smile: "Senior Ma will wait and see." ”

"Hmm." Ma Chaoren nodded and said: "With Master Zhang's ability, my generation will definitely be able to watch him play a triumphant song and return, but the governor will also be helpless against him!" ”

……

Sending troops for the New Year is by no means in line with the Chinese tradition, but Zhang Han and his subordinates are highly motivated, and there is no low morale caused by homesickness and thinking about the New Year.

This kind of situation is absolutely impossible in any military town in the Ming Dynasty.

The main plan for this troop dispatch was drawn up by the General Staff Division, including the number of troops, the generals leading the troops, and the rationing of each department and bureau...... The most important thing about this dispatch was that there were no horse teams, they did not carry too many baggage, and they did not even send out war teams, and the number of pikemen was very small, basically speaking, the firearms team was the main means of attack, and a small number of pikemen were responsible for defense.

The army spread out in many places, and dispatched two and a half rounds of troops to the Yinshan Mountain Range in the northeast, sweeping away the Collapse Sky and a tiger, and also sweeping away the remnants left by Zhou Wu at the beginning.

In addition, three and a half rounds of troops were dispatched, and the main target was Yu Shiqian.

The whole army now had nearly twelve rounds, but only about half of the troops were dispatched, mainly the cavalry, all the heavy armor soldiers and pikemen.

There were only a small number of pond horses and beams in the army, which were used for small-scale reconnaissance and communications.

It was Sun Yao who drew up the plan, he insisted that the bandits had completely abandoned the cavalry, and the mountains were high and deep, so it was impossible for the cavalry to deploy, and at the same time, although the iron-clad mandarin duck warrior squad could be lightly armed, it was estimated that the bandits were unlikely to fight with them at all, in this case, it was better to carry more firearms to shoot in order to maximize deterrence and killing.

Zhang Han had a fully supportive attitude towards Sun Yao's plan, and such a resolute attitude also suppressed many disapproving voices in the army, and as a result, the battle has been relatively smooth so far, and the archers have successfully cleared the bandits' periphery, and there are always hundreds of bandits killed in the past ten days, and according to the degree of bravery, it is estimated that there are more old brothers scattered by Yu Shiqian on the periphery.

It was past noon, Zhang Han leaned on a mountain rock and ate dry food, and said to everyone around him while eating: "Li Laibin's fight was also smooth, and he also killed Xiao Bai, that shot the sky, and the bull was very angry, three days ago on the night Li Laibin and Wang Yikui attacked his old camp at night, rushed to his bed, lifted the quilt, and took it out on the spot." ”

Everyone laughed, Duo'er ate quickly, wiped her mouth and said, "Has this person been killed?" ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "I said that I wanted to sacrifice the prisoner, but I haven't killed it yet." ”

Duo'er shook her head and said, "These guys have made it clear that they are targeting us and Yusheng, and they are all slaughtered on the spot, and what kind of prisoners are offered." ”

Li Zhiye said: "This is not right, if you arrest a few more bandit leaders and behead them in public, the deterrent effect is much greater than killing them directly." ”

Zhang Han praised: "What Lao Li said is very true, it can be seen that Li Laibin's position in the first bureau of the first division is well deserved, as for Duo'er, I have to read more books after I go back." ”

Duo'er hid with a bitter face, everyone laughed, they all sat halfway up the mountain, surrounded by endless mountains that could not be seen at a glance, from Tianchengwei to Lingqiu, there are simply too many mountains, there are several large passes built because of the mountains alone, from here all the way to the east, not far from the official road to Guangling, there are a few flat land, and then all the way out of the Bauhinia Pass to the east, after the pass, it is a large area of the Hebei Plain.

Zhang Han has finished eating, this expedition is also his hardest time, not only climbing mountains and mountains with the soldiers, but also rarely catching fire in the army, everyone has to carry their own food for seven days, and then the camera is supplemented by the baggage logistics personnel, fortunately, he has done some water grinding work beforehand, but he is not afraid of running out of food, but he can't talk about enjoying it at all.

The food is all sun-dried dry food, a piece is very hungry, and salt and sugar are added, and a piece of stomach is very full, and it can basically supplement enough nutrients.
