Chapter 366: Dolgon's Good Deeds Before His Death

In the room that Wei Zheng used to 'recuperate', Zhao Yun and Wang Feng were reporting to Wei Zheng their experience in the Governor's Mansion with a smile on their faces.

After the report, Zhao Yun, who had a hearty personality, asked directly: "Dashuai, 250,000 taels of silver, it's not too much, it's not too little, I don't know what Dashuai plans to let us do with this batch of silver......"

After achieving his goal and making Sun Chengzong completely poor, Wei Zheng hurriedly replied with a smile on his face:

"In our attack on Shaanxi and against the Mongol cavalry, a total of seven or eight thousand soldiers died on the battlefield, plus the rewards given to the soldiers, without three or four million taels of silver, it is impossible to take it down......"

"Since the imperial court is so kind to send silver to the soldiers, of course we have to accept it......"

"500,000 taels of silver, all of which were used to pay pensions for the soldiers who died in battle. As for what is not enough, just intercept the harvest from your looting of Mongolia, and ensure that the pension and silver reward will be distributed to every soldier and their family. ”

Zhao Yun and Wang Feng nodded at the same time.

"Please rest assured, we all know the rules of the Haw Par Army. If anyone really dares to fight the idea of pensions and silver bounties for soldiers, we will be the first to disagree......"

At this time, Wei Zheng, who was smiling, seemed to think of something, and followed up and asked.

"By the way, the three-way army that attacked Mongolia this time, except for Zhou Chenguang, the two of you are back."

"Because of Sun Chengzong's unexpected arrival, Ben Shuai didn't ask about your specific results......"

"Let's talk about whether your attack on Mongolia this time has completed the looting target set by the commander for you......"

Zhao Yun and Wang Feng are two people. After glancing at each other. Wang Feng stood up first. Replied with a satisfied smile.

"Dashuai, don't you know...... With the disguised help of Dolgon, the 4,000 musketeers under the command of the last general, after entering Mongolia, because there were no enemies, could almost be called a long drive into the ......"

"Yes, it's a long drive."

"Not only did we wipe out several Mongolian tribes that moved to the border again, but we also built on it half a year ago. Again attacked more than two hundred miles into the depths of Mongolia. In the entire offensive route, there were a total of eight Mongol tribes that were exterminated by us. Includes one large tribe, three medium-sized tribes, and four small tribes...... The Mongols we wiped out more than 20,000 people. ”

"Hiss......" Hearing this answer, Wei Zheng couldn't help but gasp.

He exclaimed at Wang Feng: "Eight large and small Mongolian tribes, almost the same as our last attack...."

Then, as if he had found a bunch of treasures, he asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Quick, talk to Ben Shuai. What good things did you Wang Feng snatch back from the Mongols..."

Wang Feng nodded with a smile on his face, and said to Wei Zheng by default: "Handsome." On this trip to Mongolia, the last general really snatched back a lot of good things from Mongolia..."

"For example, gold and silver are more than two and a half million taels..."

"As for the cattle, sheep and horses, they can only be described in four words..."

"Because of Sun Chengzong's arrival, these cattle and sheep war horses were not sent to Shanxi according to the commanders' generals. Therefore, the general has not yet made detailed statistics. However, the approximate number is still clear to the general...."

"Among this batch of cattle and sheep war horses, there are more than 23,000 war horses... There are more than 8,000 cattle and more than 230,000 sheep...."

"In addition, we rescued 15,000 Han Chinese slaves from the Mongols and captured more than 24,000 Mongolian women and children. At present, the cattle, sheep and horses we have captured are under the care of these people..."

"As long as the marshal issues the generals, in a maximum of five days, these cattle, sheep and horses can be sent to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

As soon as Wang Feng finished speaking, Zhao Yun, who was already a little impatient, followed up and said, "Great Marshal, the wind harvest here is no worse than General Wang's..."

"Because the last general commanded the cavalry, during the entire sortie, the last general went deep into Mongolia for more than 500 miles..."

"As for the tribes that have been exterminated by the last general, there are two large tribes, three medium-sized tribes, and five small tribes."

"The only regret is that the last general commanded the cavalry, and in order to facilitate the march, except for the rescued Han slaves, there were almost no Mongol prisoners..."

"As for the seizures, there are more than 3.8 million taels of gold and silver, more than 30,000 war horses, more than 12,000 cattle, and 390,000 heads..."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng sighed again: "Now it seems that although this Dolgon has repeatedly troubled our Tiger and Leopard Army, and brought casualties to our Tiger and Leopard Army again and again. ”

"But before he died, he did a good thing for us..."

"The Mongolian youths facing our side are all consumed on the battlefield, so that we can wantonly rob the Mongolian finances, cattle and sheep in the Mongolian plane, and make up for the losses caused by the annual battle."

The military advisor sitting next to him affirmed: "What the marshal said is good..."

"This is only the capture of the two-way attack force, if you count General Zhou Chenguang Zhou, who has not yet returned, then our capture is even more. Not to mention anything else, the gold and silver that can be used directly alone are almost tens of millions of taels..."

"If all the captured cattle, sheep and horses are counted as silver, there are at least 20 million taels."

"Now, I finally know why the Mongols and Tatars living outside the gate like to plunder my people again and again. Because, the benefits brought to oneself by this kind of unearned looting are too great and too tempting. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuyuan immediately shifted his gaze to Wei Zheng and said: "Dashuai....If all these gains are counted, this time to attack Shaanxi and resist the Mongol invasion, not only will we not pay a tael of silver, but we will also make a lot of money because of the unexpected move of sending troops to Mongolia......

Wei Zheng nodded and affirmed: "Well....since we are not short of silver now, then the soldiers' pensions and rewards will be distributed as much as possible, so that the soldiers can rest assured..."

"As for the seized cattle and sheep, find a way to send them to Shaanxi in batches....Shaanxi is so big, it must be able to consume a lot."

"If the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi can't consume all these cattle and sheep, then they will all be handed over to the Foreign Trade Department, so that the Foreign Trade Department can use these cattle and sheep in exchange for the food and other materials we urgently need, and even exchange them for gold and silver for storage."

"War horses are the same....give all those who pick the rest to the Foreign Trade Division...."

"We don't look down on it, it doesn't mean that others don't look down on it, especially in the Jiangnan area, where there is an urgent shortage of war horses..."

"Ben Shuai believes that the Foreign Trade Department will definitely be able to use these cattle and sheep and war horses to exchange for unexpected huge benefits for us." (To be continued......)
