Chapter 132: Eunuch Liu Wenzhong
Qin Chuan finally returned to Guannei from Sanshandun with ten levels each of the Jiannu and Tartar heads, plus the price of a hundred stone of grain.
As soon as they crossed the Great Wall, Lao Huang, Lynx, Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun took twenty carefully selected Guan Emperor troops to the southwest and headed towards Yaotouguan and Lanzhou.
They want to save Luo Wentian, whether they succeed or not, they have to give it a try.
At the same time, they were going to Lanzhou to tie up Xue Dongting's family, regardless of men, women, old and children, all who could be tied up.
The lives of his subordinates were at stake, and Qin Chuan didn't want to be merciful to anyone.
A huge grain transport team composed of hundreds of grain trucks naturally could not escape the eyes of soldiers and horses from all walks of life.
In fact, what happened outside the customs in the past few days has long been spread in the area of Pingyuwei and Weiyuanwei.
The grain team left Sanshandun, just past Mo'er Mountain, and met an army, about 1,000 people, the leader of the self-proclaimed Datong West Road General Zhao Yong, checked the business travels along the way, and arrested the spies.
Qin Chuan knew that the other party was coming for the grain and the head, and as soon as they were checked, something would inevitably happen, and they only needed to arrest a few Mongols, and they would be sure that they were Jiannu's spies, and they could use this to blackmail him.
After letting the four hundred Guan Emperor troops set up a formation, the knife was unsheathed, and the bow was bent and the arrows were bent, Qin Chuan showed his hundred household waist cards.
Seeing his waist card, Zhao Yong still didn't let go, saying that recently, many Jiannu and Tartars pretended to be spies of the Ming officers and soldiers, and gangs entered the Kou and plundered.
Qin Chuan shouted "Death to those who stand in my way", and then led Emperor Guan's army to force the other party step by step.
Zhao Yong didn't expect him to be so reckless, and he stayed in place for a while and didn't know what to do.
It wasn't until his 400 Guan Emperor army approached 100 steps that Zhao Yong panicked and hurriedly led his troops to retreat.
He just wants to scare the other party and ask for some benefits, even if he has an advantage in strength, he doesn't dare to make a move with the other party, and attacking friendly troops and looting money and food for no reason is no different from rebellion, which is a capital crime.
The scale of the fight of more than 1,000 troops will definitely not be able to hide from others, and when the time comes, when the time comes, not to mention the black yarn hat, it will be difficult to protect the head of his neck.
What's more, even if he wanted to start a war with the other party, it was still two things to say whether his subordinates would go up or not.
After he led his troops to retreat, the four hundred Guan imperial troops did not catch up, and only confronted him two or three hundred paces apart, allowing the convoy behind to pass.
Seeing the carts of grain, the herds of military horses, and the heads of several carts, Zhao Yong was so greedy that he couldn't help but step forward again, and asked the other party for some in a good voice.
Qin Chuan sneered and told the other party simply and clearly, don't want to take any of them.
Zhao Yong was so angry that he almost couldn't help but wave his troops to attack him.
After finally suppressing his anger, Zhao Yong snorted angrily, and then led the troops away.
Since then, Qin Chuan's return journey has been much smoother, and for several days, when he arrived at Jingping to guard the Thousand Households, he was intercepted again.
This time it was not the facial features that came, but a civil official, Datong Patrol Wang Hua.
Wang Hua is not like Zhao Yong, but straight to the point, politely saying that he wants to buy grain and build slave heads.
Qin Chuan smiled and said that the grain is not sold, and it is not sold no matter how much money is given.
The first level can be, the first level of the slave is twenty taels, the Tartar is five taels, and the purchase is limited to one hundred levels each.
On this trip, he came back with more than 900 heads, including more than 400 Jiannu and more than 500 Tartars.
He didn't plan to use these chiefs to get promoted, because if he was promoted, he would be transferred.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was almost no possibility of a military attache being promoted to a civilian official, so once he was promoted, he had to be a military attache who led troops to fight, either transferred to guard the frontier or to suppress bandits.
In a short period of time, he still can't leave Lou Fu.
But the necessary merits were still needed, so he only planned to give two hundred times each to the Daijiannu and Tartar heads, including Ahsan and Turush, who were still alive, and these two were worth much more than the hundred-level heads.
At that time, we must first see what kind of person the new governor Xu Dingchen is, and whether he can hand over the head through him.
If it doesn't work, then find someone else to help you repay the merit.
The excess head is meant to be sold, and it is sold to anyone, and some customers have taken the initiative to come to the door, so it is good to sell some as soon as possible.
Wang Hua calculated carefully, twenty taels is not too expensive, and one hundred taels is only two thousand taels, this bit of silver can buy a Zhizhou at most, but the merits brought by the head of a hundred real slaves are not comparable to a Zhizhou.
Moreover, he can't eat all the exploits in the first rank of a hundred Jiannu alone, and he has to bring a few border army generals, and those generals naturally want to honor him, maybe they can earn back two thousand taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Wang Hua said "deal" cleanly, and then began to count the silver.
Naturally, he brought with him silver, as much as five thousand taels.
Not long after, he took the heads of a hundred Jiannu and a hundred Tartars, and walked away.
Qin Chuan had two thousand five hundred taels of silver more and continued to march south.
After a day of travel, when they arrived in Shuozhou, another group of people blocked the way.
The hundreds of true slave heads were like a steaming piece of, attracting a swarm of flies.
This time, it was neither a civil official nor facial features that stopped him, but a fair-skinned eunuch, Liu Wenzhong, the Datong prison army.
Liu Wenzhong didn't bring many people, only two or three hundred, and he actually set up a table of wine in a grass pavilion on the side of the road, and personally stood on the side of the road to greet Qin Chuan.
After hearing his subordinates report on the identity of this person, Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The other party is a eunuch of the supervising army, so he can listen to the music book directly to the heavens, without going through the governor of Shanxi or through the military department, and the possibility of being concealed and tampered with is much smaller.
It's a person who can be made on a profit-based basis.
Immediately, he asked Emperor Guan to leave a cart of people, and then escorted the convoy to take the first step, and he only took a hundred Emperor Guan troops and rode towards Liu Wenzhong.
"Congratulations to Lord Qin's triumphant return, and congratulations to Lord Qin on his ascension."
From afar, Liu Wenzhong said with a smile in a sharp voice.
Qin Chuan dismounted, smiled and arched his hand: "Qin Chuan, a hundred households in Xiaguan Ninghua Institute, has seen Gonggong Liu. ”
"Huh."
Liu Wenzhong took Qin Chuan's hand and took him to the grass pavilion, and said: "You and I are one of the prisoners of Datong, and the other is stationed in the Shanxi Ninghua Institute, and the places are different, so naturally there is no distinction between upper and lower officials. ”
"Why don't we call each other brothers, brother, how old are I when I am older than you, so I will call you brother, how about it?"
Qin Chuan felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly took the opportunity to salute, withdrew his hand, and arched his hand: "Thanks to his father-in-law, Qin Chuan is better than obeying his fate." ”
"Hahahaha, okay, Brother Qin, please, you and I won't get drunk today."
When Liu Wenzhong's sharp voice laughed, it seemed harsh.
Qin Chuan followed him into the grass pavilion and sat down, Liu Wenzhong personally poured a glass of wine for Qin Chuan, and after pouring a glass himself, he raised his glass towards Qin Chuan and said: "This cup is my brother's respect for my brother, my brother is wise and brave, with soldiers like a god, with 600 iron troops to attack and kill 1,300 Jiannu, and won a complete victory, beheaded the enemy at the thousand-level, and raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, it is really the first great achievement since the rebellion of the old slave in Jianzhou." ”
After saying that, Liu Wenzhong raised his head and drank the glass of wine.
Then he poured a cup and said, "This cup is to congratulate you and me on our fate today, meet in the grass pavilion, talk about wine, come on, Brother Qin, you and I have made this cup together." ”
Qin Chuan didn't take the cup, but took out a small leather wine jug from his waist, and said apologetically: "Brother, I'm sorry, brother, I'm not used to drinking soju, I am only used to drinking Tartar blood and mare's milk wine, so let's have a toast with my brother with this mare's milk wine." ”
"Hahahaha, okay, Brother Qin, it's done."
Liu Wenzhong didn't mind, he was only the first to be poured into his mouth.
Qin Chuan also raised the wine jug and took a sip.
This wine jug was seized from Ah Shan's waist, I don't know what kind of skin it was made of, it was very delicate and beautiful, Qin Chuan liked it when he saw it, so he hung it on his waist.
It was filled with Mongolian mare's milk wine, and I liked it when I drank it on the Qinchuan Road.
However, he didn't drink Liu Wenzhong's glass of wine not because he liked mare's milk wine, but because he was afraid that the wine was poisonous, and who knows if there was poison in the glass.
After a drink, Qin Chuan got straight to the point and asked, "Brother Liu is waiting here, for the sake of the heads of those Jiannu." ”
Liu Wenzhong's face was a little embarrassed, and he soon laughed again: "Brother Qin is really bold and fast-talking, that's right, it is those heads who do this." ”
"In this case, Brother Liu should have heard that Qin sold a hundred taels of real slaves and five taels of Tartar to Lord Wang."
"Yes." Liu Wenzhong nodded, "But the elder brother doesn't plan to buy the head with silver, but with ...... With my brother's life and future. ”
Qin Chuan frowned: "How do you say this?" ”
"Brother shouldn't know yet, a few days ago, Lord Shiwen of Dongge University and the prince of Jin played the impeachment of Brother Qin for robbing his house and house, for the sake of disaster in the township, the emperor has sent two groups of people to Jingle and Lan County to investigate the matter, one is the new governor of Shanxi, Lord Xu, the commander of the envoy Du, the other way...... Hehe, I don't even know who it is. ”
"As far as what my brother did in Jingle and Lan County, I'm afraid it can't be hidden, even the head of hundreds of real slaves in my brother, I'm afraid it will only be reduced to the merits of others, It won't be long before the black gauze hat on your head can't be saved."
"However, if Brother Qin is willing to let some of the heads come out, Brother Qin and I will definitely listen to the book to the sky, and show Brother Ming's achievements in killing the enemy, as well as Brother Qin's achievements in loving the people like a son in Loufan County, and even ...... Another group of people who came to Jingle to investigate secretly can also help the elder brother with some dots. ”
"At that time, not to mention this six-grade black yarn hat of one hundred households, it is the commander of the three and four grades or the commander of the matter, and it is also a matter of hand-to-hand."
Hearing his words, Qin Chuan was not in a hurry to respond, but lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Liu Wenzhong was not in a hurry, he only drank the wine with taste.
After a long time, Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "How many heads does my brother want?" ”
Liu Wenzhong stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred real slaves, two hundred tartars." ”
"So many heads are worth five thousand taels of silver, that's too much."
"That'...... How much can Brother Qin give? ”
Qin Chuan stretched out a finger: "A hundred-level true slave, a hundred-level tartar, and...... I want Dong Liang and Zhenxiwei of Ninghua Qianhu to command Xue Dongting to do something, don't want them to die, just need them to dismiss or demote. ”
"As for promotions...... I only need the position of a thousand households in the Ninghua Institute, and the official positions of other guards or battalion soldiers, I don't want them, I would rather continue to be my hundred households. ”
