Chapter 102: You Have No Conscience
If Wu Zheng fought in Jinshanwei Port, the two did not see it with their own eyes, and it can be said that it was a fluke.
If it is said that the battle of Shining Street was not seen by the two, it can be said that it is just taking advantage of the terrain.
But today's battle in the Three Realms, the two of them not only saw it with their own eyes, but also experienced it personally, Wu Zheng's planning, judgment ability and ability to control the battle situation are indeed extraordinary.
In the first battle of Pinggang Mountain, the command and adaptability of the outnumbered people.
Wei Wenyuan and Liao Zhongping can no longer think that this is a fluke.
The two glanced at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes, this son will be able to become a generation of famous generals in the future, and his future is limitless.
For a moment, the atmosphere that bordered on worship permeated the radius of several miles.
It made Wu Zheng feel embarrassed.
Wu Zheng changed the topic and said with a smile: "Two adults, it's just a reward promised before the war, I'm afraid the imperial court won't be able to honor it." Two adults, we have to think of another way. ”
Wei Wenyuan and Liao Zhongping's faces changed when they heard this.
When I promised a reward, I really didn't expect this battle to be so easy.
Wei Wenyuan said: "Why don't Wei report to the Xingguo Gong and the Xingguo Gong will allocate a part of the reward?" ”
"No." Liao Zhongping categorically objected, "Where is the imperial court rewarded by the rejuvenation of the country?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, Liao Zhongping's words were not unreasonable, the imperial court rewarded meritorious soldiers, naturally there was nothing to say, but if Wang Zhiren rewarded it alone, it would be a bit absurd.
Besides, Wang Zhiren may not be willing to pay this money.
Wu Zheng glanced at the battlefield and looked at the horse corpses in that place, Wu Zheng's heart was really painful.
He's X, if it's a live horse, then it's two battalions of cavalry.
Wu Zheng's heart moved, and he pointed to the horse corpse and said, "Can this pile of dead horses be sold?" ”
Wei Wenyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "What does Wu Qianhu mean ......?" ”
While Li Ruhai said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, this smoked horse meat and sauced horse meat are not worse than donkey meat, so they can naturally be sold." ”
"I think I've heard that horse meat is poisonous?"
Wu Zheng's words made everyone laugh.
Of course, this is a good-natured laugh.
Li Ruhai explained: "Adults think it's a bad listen, as long as the cooking of horse meat is done in the right way, it will not be poisonous, adults think about it, Tartar also eats horse meat every day, I haven't heard of anyone being poisoned." It is also sold on Shiningde Street on weekdays, but adults don't pay attention to it. ”
Wu Zheng asked, "Is it worth it?" ”
Chen Sheng said: "The Tartar war horse is strong, a horse weighs eight or nine hundred catties, after this horse corpse is skinned and boneless, the net meat is at least five or six hundred catties, selling for twenty wen a catty, there are also more than ten thousand wen, which is equivalent to more than 20 taels of silver (at this time, four or five hundred wen is converted into one tael of silver), if you add horse skins and horse bones, you can sell more." It's just that the population of this county is not large, and it has to be sold to other counties. ”
Wu Zheng's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, this dead horse is also so valuable.
"A dead horse is more than 20 taels, and a thousand horses are more than 20,000 taels. If you put it together, it will be enough to fulfill the reward of this battle. I don't know what the two adults think? ”
Wei Wenyuan said: "Wu Qianhu, there are not 1,000 horse corpses, after the war, more than 400 war horses were captured, but the injured horses accounted for 30%. ”
Wu Zheng's heart moved, and said: "Then sell the horse corpse, and sell the injured horses that can't return to the battlefield, and the rest of the war horses, whether they are injured or not, I will collect them with fifty yuan, and the silver will be divided equally among the three of us, plus the silver from selling horse meat, we should be able to pay the reward of this warrior, I don't know what the two adults think?" ”
Wei Wenyuan and Liao Zhongping were overjoyed when they heard this, "Just according to what Master Wu said." ”
It's not that they don't know the goods, it's that no one can come up with this money.
Besides, even if they can get it, the two of them will not want to subsidize the public with private money.
Liao Zhongping is Zhu Yihai's person, and the money to buy the horse should be paid by Zhu Yihai or the imperial court, but Liao Zhongping knows that at this time, Zhu Yihai will definitely not spend 15,000 taels to buy these more than 300 war horses.
The same is true for Wei Wenyuan, Wang Zhiren is the chief soldier of the Dinghai Division, and his energy is on the sea.
Then it is better to let Wu Zheng buy it, exchange it for 5,000 white flowers, and distribute it to the soldiers in this battle as a reward, which is the right reason.
Only a strange person like Wu Zheng who is ready to take Lianghuwei as his belongings will scatter all the wealth in his pocket and buy war horses for Wei.
In this era, an ordinary horse in the north was worth about twenty taels, but in the south, a horse cost forty or fifty taels.
Horses like this Tartar are all good horses that have been selected.
A horse will cost seventy or eighty taels, to say the least.
For Wu Zheng, war horses are not only a matter of value, but also the combat power of the army.
In addition to the hundreds of seriously injured horses, the three parties can get more than 100 war horses.
Wu Zheng took a large package and paid 15,000 taels for a round round, in order to gather 600 cavalry (two horses per soldier) together with the war horses captured in Shining Street before.
The rest, such as the leather shirts, leather hats, bows and crossbows on the Tartars, were seized, collected and sent to Shaoxing Mansion together with the Tartars' heads.
In this way, most of the battlefield matters were decided by the three of them.
At this time, Shen Zhiyuan, who was already eager to try, stepped forward, "Wu Zheng, you have nothing to say this time, I killed four Tartars today." Coupled with my contributions, the first merit of this battle should be mine, right? ”
I don't want Wu Zheng to point to Qian Qiaogong, who was more than a dozen steps away, and said, "The first credit should be his." ”
"He? He was dealt with by you for violating military regulations before. In this battle, most of the 400 Tartars who surrounded them were shot by crossbowmen under Erhan's command, and they just picked up the bargain and killed more than 100 Tartars who didn't even resist. Shen Zhiyuan shouted angrily, "And Zhou Dahu and I are the heroes who led the army to charge and fought a bloody battle with the Tartars." ”
Wu Zheng said slowly: "You are just fighting with a group of chaotic Tartars, so I judge that most of the Tartars should not have died in your hands, but were killed by the Tartar cavalry charging behind, right?" ”
Shen Zhiyuan was a little annoyed and angry, "But that's also because of my good strategy, I think I am full of the art of war, and the art of war has a cloud ......." ”
"Shut up." Wu Zheng hurriedly stopped, he didn't want to hear the words that had already made his ears calloused and rotten.
"Then I always have a success, right?" Shen Zhiyuan retreated to the next best.
"The second merit is Chi Erhan. You can't doubt the number of Tartars killed by Chi Erhanbu, right? ”
Shen Zhiyuan was furious, pointed at Wu Zheng and scolded: "You have no conscience, we are also brothers who grew up together, you are already a thousand households, even Erhan and Xiao Anzi are a hundred households, I am a general banner, and I don't even have a soldier under my command." I don't care, you have to give me a flag this time. ”
Wu Zheng looked at Shen Zhiyuan puzzled and said, "So that's what you asked?" This official originally wanted you to receive a hundred household positions, since this is the case, this official is as you wish, you will receive a general flag soldier...... ”
"Huh?! No! Shen Zhiyuan pounced like crazy, and threw Wu Zheng to the ground.
