"Speak slowly, what's wrong?" Chang Wei patted Ma Yuan and turned his back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now for Chang Wei, unless the imperial court dismisses his officials or Fodu Island is attacked, nothing else is a big deal.

But now that the situation is calm, there is no reason for the court to clean him up. Liuheng Island just made peace with Jin Ge and would not have an accident, so Chang Wei disagreed in his heart.

Ma Yuan shouted: "War horse, our war horse has been robbed!"

"What?" Chang Wei was shocked and angry, "Who is so bold, where was he robbed?"

After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect that it was the war horse that had an accident, which was definitely the most unacceptable thing for Chang Wei.

These 5,000 war horses were Chang Wei asked Wei Liangdong to apply to the imperial court, and after getting approval, he asked his brother-in-law Zhu Cunji, the son of Qin Shizi, to help transfer 5,000 war horses from the four towns of Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu and Guyuan.

The originally estimated 250,000 taels of silver were also directly doubled due to additional expenses such as up and down, left and right dredging, and freight on the road, and a full 500,000 taels of silver.

Chang Wei doesn't care about spending more money, anyway, what he has now is money, and the key is that it's really hard to buy a war horse.

The Ming Dynasty is fighting against the biggest threat, Jiannu, and the shortage of war horses required is huge, so it is an extremely scarce resource. This is also the reason why Chang Wei has the will of the imperial court, the help of Qin Shizi, and the assistance of the Sword Alliance, and he has to double the price to buy five thousand war horses.

"Three days ago, on the west side of Llama Lake, the ...... that was snatched away by the rogue"

A month ago, the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper received 5,000 war horses from Zhu Cunji, the son of Qin, and under the escort of 500 officers and soldiers, and 100 disciples led by Bai Zitong, the young master of the Sword Alliance, they loaded the war horses and released them along the Wei River to the east.

When passing through Luoyang, there were also 100 Shaolin monks accompanying the escort, after arriving in Kaifeng, take the land route, enter Xuzhou to the southeast, arrive at the vicinity of Luoma Lake in the northwest of Suqian County three days ago, load the war horses, prepare to take a boat into the canal from here, put the boat straight down through Huai'an through Honghu, Gaoyou Lake, Yangzhou, and arrive at Zhenjiang.

That night, the team spent the night by the Llama Lake, and in the middle of the night, thousands of thieves came from all sides of the land and water, and almost instantly killed the front.

Fortunately, thanks to the Shaolin warrior monks and the disciples of the Sword Alliance, the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper were able to protect the ships and save most of the war horses, but more than 1,000 horses were still robbed by the thieves.

Chang Wei immediately spread out the map and asked, "Where are the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper now? Are there any injuries? Are there any deaths or injuries among the friends of Shaolin and the Sword Alliance?"

Chang Wei didn't ask how the war horse was first, but asked about the safety of his subordinates first, Ma Yuan was very moved, he pointed to the map and said: "The remaining three or four thousand horses were sent to Handian Island, the main personnel were slightly injured, and the Dao Alliance and Shaolin lost more than a dozen people, which is not too bad overall." ”

"That's good!" Chang Wei said: "It's only been a day for you to go back and forth to Honghu Lake in Zhenjiang, and it's hard work." ”

Ma Yuan straightened his chest and said: "It's not hard, the carriages and horses of Sitong are worthy of being called thousands of miles a day, it is really fast and comfortable, if you take a boat, it will not be so fast." ”

While speaking, Enlightenment and the others also got on the boat, and Chang Wei, the handwritten letter of Fang Greedy Wolf, learned the details.

This gang of thieves came from Weishan Lake and the canal, and Fang Greedy Wolf thought that the other party was likely to be a traitor of the White Lotus Sect.

"It's no wonder that people who act so rigorously with the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper will also fall for the way of thieves, so they came prepared. ”

Chang Wei has ruined the good things of the White Lotus Sect many times in a row, and now he has a chance to deal with him, if he doesn't make a move, he can't say anything.

"This time I was negligent, I thought that the White Lotus Sect was far away in Shandong, and their goal was to besiege Jining. Unexpectedly, the other party actually passed through Weishan Lake and arrived in the territory of Beizhili. ”

"Amitabha!" said the Buddha's name, "Your Excellency doesn't have to blame yourself, the White Lotus Cult has brought disaster to the country and the people, and your Excellency has repeatedly sabotaged its conspiracy, and no one can prevent it from deliberately retaliating against thieves." ”

Chang Ping pointed to the map and said, "My lord, there are many water systems such as the canal, the Huai River, and the Yellow River between Luoma Lake and Hongze Lake. There are 230 miles of waterway to Liuhuai Town, let's set off now, and we can rush to Luoma Lake tomorrow morning to rescue, everything is still in time. ”

Chang Wei nodded, and immediately began to write a letter, rescuing the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper to recapture the war horse is definitely something to do, in addition to this, Chang Wei also wants to completely eradicate the White Lotus Sect and get rid of this scourge.

"The White Lotus Sect is really good at picking the time!"

In one fell swoop, the thirteen consecutive villages can infinitely elevate the status of Chang Wei's rivers and lakes, and it is a very good opportunity to improve the martial arts conference. Chang Wei is preparing to use his limelight to lobby most sects to participate in the conference as much as possible when he is in the limelight, increase the influence of the martial arts conference, and make the conference the first event in the rivers and lakes, so that he can smoothly control the rivers and lakes in the future, which is the second most important thing in Chang Wei's heart.

The martial arts conference was held on December 12, and now it is mid-September, and there are only three months left to complete the battle. Before that, he has to improve his industrial system, which is the most important thing, and it must not be stagnant, otherwise the gap between the Ming and the Europeans will widen, which is something that Chang Wei will never allow.

In addition, the matter of the ocean-going fleet is also urgent, and if the fleet is not integrated now, it will not be possible to sail to the Americas next summer.

The premise of ensuring the smooth progress of these three things is that no one makes trouble, and all the enemies must be eliminated, otherwise the enemy will sabotage the conference during the session, and the conference may be ruined, and it will be extremely difficult for him to control the rivers and lakes again.

Chang Wei wrote three letters, the first of which was addressed to Wei Liangdong.

If the local gentry want to form a volunteer battalion, they must file it with the imperial court, and it is not something that can be formed by anyone with money. Therefore, Chang Wei wants to send troops to fight, especially this time, it is very likely that he will leave Nanzhili to fight the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, and he must get orders from the imperial court and the Nanjing Military Department, and this matter will be handled by Wei Liangdong faster than anyone else.

The second letter was addressed to He Chong and Gao Liangcai. Since the White Lotus Sect dared to attack itself, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not attack Wei Liangdong and them. Therefore, it is a very important thing to protect Wei Liangdong and his second brother Changtong.

The third letter is addressed to the common people. Chang Wei only had seven ships and three hundred musketeers left around him, and it was not easy for anyone to recapture the war horses, let alone fight the White Lotus Sect. At the time of the last departure, the battalion had 500 flintlock guns, and now there are 2,000 guns at the normal rate.

Chang Wei is ready to let all the musketeers go north, anyway, the biggest excuse for him to form the Volunteer Battalion is to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, and now he is just going into battle to train his troops.

The letter was written and handed over to his subordinates, and the people with four links sent it back. According to the speed of Sitong, the distance from Liuhuai Town to Zhenjiang is three or four hundred miles, and it can be delivered at night.

After doing this, Chang Wei found all the people to explain the current situation.

Fang Huan'er asked, "My lord, have you decided to hand over the matter of exterminating the village to the Changkong Gang Master?"

Chang Ping immediately intervened and said: "This is not appropriate, I suggest leaving a part of the manpower to exterminate the village." ”

Chang Ping's consideration is very reasonable, it is not easy to exterminate the general village, destroy all the masters, seeing that the credit is at your fingertips, how can you give this honor to the peerless sky? )
