When? In times of war! Four-two-seven is full of bowls
Forcing himself to think about this, Dong Ce only felt that his heart was open, the whole person was a lot more comfortable, and the stuffy block in his chest also dissipated a lot-
A quarter of an hour later, a carriage and two naked bodies were thrown into the raging flames, and after a short snort, there was no movement.
After finally checking the battlefield and making sure that there was nothing left that might indicate a trace, Dong Ce led the people away.
Behind him, the flames covered the sky, and the flames had risen several feet high.
This fire is expected to last for a long time, and it will be extremely noticeable in the dark. But the fire was far from being so big that it could be seen from a hundred miles away. And due to drought and war, there are basically no Mongol tribes left here. I don't know how long it will be since I was found here.
…………
The night is like ink, and the cold wind is like a knife.
Dong Ce galloped on his horse, and the cold wind blew on his face, but it couldn't lower the temperature on his face by the slightest.
That's right, he's excited.
He couldn't help but get excited.
This time, the harvest was really beyond his imagination.
Dong Ce never thought before this operation that he would make such a lot of money.
First of all, the silver, the small silver ingots of scattered silver that were found from those corpses, plus two helpless, added up to nearly eighteen thousand taels. The weight of these two helpless has been estimated, each of them is five hundred catties, no more, no less. Compared to its sheer size, this weight is a bit off. If it is sterling silver and solid, the weight is at least 800 catties, Dong Ce estimates, maybe the inside is iron core or simply hollow. On the one hand, the reason why it is so big may be to pretend to bluff people.
But each of the five hundred catties is enough, and one is eight thousand taels of gold and silver—perhaps more, because according to the custom, if the pure silver is melted into silver ingots, about thirty percent of the lead, tin, or other miscellaneous things will be added to it.
These two big guys are helpless and very difficult to do, but Dong Ce has a way. He removed the carriage board with the four iron plates cast on it, and as for the silver ball, it did not move, and was still firmly encircled in the middle by the four iron plates. The carriage board was fastened to the three healthy horses, and the rope was knotted through the carriage board and firmly strangled on the stomachs of the healthy horses, and the binding was very strong. And beside them there was a family member guarding them, and they also held the reins of the sturdy horses in their hands, and controlled their speed to a certain extent, so as not to turn the silver ball upside down because it was too fast or too slow, or because of the inconsistency of the pace.
In this way, it is as stable as Mount Tai.
Of course, this will inevitably slow down the speed of the whole team, and of course, it will all be worth it.
This was followed by silk, five hundred pieces of silk, worth more than twelve thousand taels of silver.
Compared with the previous two, what satisfied Dong Ce even more was the sixty-eight Mongolian horses and two hundred and nineteen service horses. All Mongolian horses can be used as cavalry mounts, and Dong Ce's family team has always been maintained at the scale of forty-seven people in three cities, even if Bai Yin and Ulan Bari join, it is only forty-nine people. The number is too small, as a raid everywhere, fighting bandits, robbing the caravan armament is okay, if you really want to fight with people, let alone build slaves, even if you are afraid of fighting a rogue Kou, you can only choose a small hand.
It's not that Dong Ce doesn't want to expand the scale, but firstly, there is no one, and secondly, there is no horse at hand. The problem of no one is easy to solve, there are so many displaced people now, as long as they can eat enough, as many as they want, recruit another batch. But the problem of war horses is not easy to solve, you know, war horses are strategic materials in the pass, quite precious, even if you have money, you can't buy it. And with Dong Ce's current status, it is not a small amount to raise so many families, and it is not good to buy horses on a large scale.
And these horses are also rare and good animals. With them, and the purchase of the last batch of carts, Dong Ce can form a huge convoy, or use these horses to form a logistics and transportation system for the Jiading team and the Rock Fort Army.
After all, there are many benefits.
Of course, the most valuable thing is not these material things, but the news.
The news that Dong Ce obtained.
If this news works well, it can even change his career and make him rise to the top and increase his power from then on. With an official position, with power, what else can't you get?
The harvest of this trip can be said to be huge.
I wanted to dig a radish out, but I didn't expect to dig out a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng.
Dong Ce and the others hurried overnight, and it was not until they walked out dozens of miles away that they looked back and couldn't see the flickering fire in the sky.
At midnight, that is, at ten o'clock in the evening, they rushed to the place where they had rested yesterday, unloaded their supplies, and rested in place.
Dong Ce originally wanted to rush overnight, but if he thought about going back at this point in time, he was afraid that after coming out of the mountain hole, it would be the time when the sun was rising. The team, which has expanded to the size of hundreds of horses, is easy to be discovered, and what is on the horse's back is even more conspicuous.
Such disgraceful things cannot be known.
Dong Ce simply ordered to rest here for a night now.
There's not much left to eat, but it's enough to eat tonight and another tomorrow morning. Before leaving, Wang Tong asked many families to carry a small bag of grain. Tomorrow you can cook on the fire during the day, after all, the fire is not obvious during the day, and it is not easy to be found in this col.
Although they still drink cold water and eat cold bread, the mental state of the family is obviously very different from yesterday. Yesterday they were calm and calm, but today, it is fiery and excited.
After arranging the vigil and the sentry man, the family members each laid out their felt and slept, but few of them slept honestly, and most of them were whispering, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than the killing and the taste of women today. Many of them were still young children before today, and Cong had never touched a woman's body, so this time it could be regarded as a meat. Of course, it is impossible to last long for the first time, and basically I go up and get two strokes and my waist and eyes are numb......
There is no doubt that these people have become the object of ridicule now, and the family members joke and giggle with each other.
Dong Ce understands very well that after a fight, they vented their desires and got their possessions, and they were very relaxed at this time. He didn't restrain him, just lay on the blanket, crossed his arms, looked up at the starry sky, silent, but his mind was thinking about what to do next.
Slowly, a complete plan took shape in his mind.
Dong Ce and his family team stayed in this remote col all night and day.
It was not until the evening of the next day that he led the family to leave. After a night's rest, the physical strength and energy expended by the family members after a fight have fully recovered, and the horse's physical strength is sufficient.
Before leaving, they cleaned up the traces of people staying here, Dong Ce and the others galloped, and when they just arrived at night, they came to the foot of the mountain.
It's still that mountain road, it's still that hole road.
Although it was the second time, this time it was more than twice as slow as it was three days ago.
Although the road was familiar, the size of the team was four or five times larger, forty or fifty people, more than three hundred horses, and when they passed through the mountain road, they were intimidating and driving, so that these horses could be regarded as obediently on the road. The bridles were not enough, and he had never thought that he would capture these many horses, and some of the horses called one after another, so Dong Ce had to let the family tie up the mouths of these horses. Fortunately, there is no one stationed on the Great Wall around this tunnel, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid being discovered.
Dong Ce was a little grateful to the Ming Dynasty for its lax armament.
The most difficult thing to get is not these war horses, but the two big silver balls, helpless here is really helpless, the mountain road in front is better to say, but the hole in the back section, some places are narrow can only accommodate one person and one horse, this thing can't pass at all.
In desperation, Dong Ce asked people to dismantle the carriage plate and iron plate, find a cliff and throw it down, and then people carried the horse, and finally transported the two ancestors.
After getting out of the hole, everyone was a big man with a head and a face, and even Dong Ce was also relieved.
The time is well controlled, almost the end of the day, which means that such a short section of the road, walking for almost two and a half hours.
The crowd did not stop, and hurried to the rock fort.
When they arrived at a junction, Wang Tong and Yelu Lihe took some of the family members and most of the captured horses to the west, and they wanted to take these captured war horses to Anxiangdun, after all, these horses did not have such a large space to be loaded in the Rock Fort, and secondly, it was easy to attract the attention of others. Although these war horses can't accommodate it, it's still much better than the Rock Fort.
The official residences of Panshi Fort are about to be built, and it will not be long before the residents in Anxiangdun will move to Panshi Fort, and Dong Ce is ready to push their houses to be converted into stables when the time comes. At that time, Anxiangdun will be converted into a military camp belonging to the Jiading team, except for the horse shed is the barracks.
There, it will become a garrison and training base for Dong Ce.
Five hundred pieces of silk would also be transported there and carefully stored in the emptied warehouse of Anxiangdun. As for the reward, wait until everyone has returned to Anxiangdun. The rest of the family members basically served as instructors in the Rock Fort Army, and they returned to the Rock Fort under the leadership of Dong Ce. At the gate of Panshi Fort, Shi Jin had been waiting there for a long time, according to Dong Ce's instructions, he slept in the simple city gate building for the past two nights, just to receive the arrival of Dong Ce and others. The reason why he was so careful was because Dong Ce didn't even want to alarm people inside and outside Rock Fort - even if it was his own people, they would inadvertently leak the news.
