Mo Changrong's voice sounded in Song Xiance's ears again: "Master Song, we Shaanxi people are real, and we have never liked to talk nonsense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'll tell you clearly, the prisoners you have obtained, our army will make up the money and grain goods for you at the market price according to the price per capita, among them, adult men are worth 2 taels of silver each, adult women are worth 1 tael of silver each, and the old and young are 0.5 taels per person. How, this price, it's real enough. ”

After listening to Mo Changrong's words, Song Xiance's abacus was quickly pulled open.

Now Li Zicheng's army, in Shanxi and Henan, can be said to be in the limelight, devastating, and every time a city is captured, the people who can be captured, no matter what, there are tens of thousands.

And these people, except for some Ding Zhuang who can be used as new attached troops, the rest of the women are old and weak, either become military food, or kill them at will, if these people can be sold for money and food, it is a lot of income.

Even if there is only a small city of 30,000 people, if the people in the city are captured and sold to the Tang army, it will be 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver.

Moreover, even if they are not exchanged for silver, they can be exchanged for goods and grain, and these things happen to be in one's own hands, and then they are sold to the following......

Thinking of this, Song Xiance's triangular eyes were already full of smiles.

He deliberately coughed lightly, and then said to Mo Changrong: "Well, alas, General Mo, you also know that Song didn't want to be troublesome, but what, seeing that General Mo is so sincere, we can't object, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, let's know at a glance what kind of character Song Junshi is. Naturally, you will understand the benefits of cooperation between your and our two armies. Even if you are the Song military teacher, you can also benefit a lot from it. Mo Changrong smiled brightly, and his eyes were full of deep meaning when he looked at Song Xiance.

At the same time, an ingot of snowflake pattern silver weighing about ten taels was quietly stuffed to Song Xiance.

Song Xiance pretended to be surprised and shirked twice, then accepted it with a smile.

The other two messengers each had three taels of silver to give, and the two of them laughed at themselves.

"Hehe, General Mo, you have talked about this, if Song Mou objects again, wouldn't he be ignorant. Okay, General Mo's intention, after the general goes back, he will definitely report to King Chuang truthfully. ”

"Okay, then there's Your Excellency Lao."

Subsequently, Song Xiance and others pretended to explore the city, and then said goodbye and left.

Song Xiance and the others left, but Linfu Qi Mo came over with a worried face: "Battalion Commander Mo, you say, if this Song Xiance and the others see my city being armed, will they encourage Li Zicheng to come to attack after they go back?" ”

"No way! I dare to predict that Song Xiance must be greedy at this time, and he is about to persuade Li Zicheng to agree to the terms of our army's sale. Mo Changrong laughed.

Sure enough, Mo Changrong did not guess wrong, as soon as Song Xiance went back, he immediately came to encourage Li Zicheng and asked him to agree to Mo Changrong's suggestion.

"Oh, then the Tang Army guard, did you say that?" Li Zicheng looked suspicious.

"Exactly!" Song Xiance hurriedly replied: "King Chuang, we have carefully investigated, in this Haoyang City, there is no trace of Gao Jie at all, I am thinking, maybe Gao Jie and others are indeed going elsewhere, but maybe they can't say." Therefore, when we were about to leave the city, Mo Changrong, the garrison general of the Tang Army, made such a suggestion to us, saying that he was willing to exchange money, grain, cloth and other goods for the prisoners of our army. ”

Li Zicheng sneered: "Hmph, Song Junshi, isn't this person deliberately using such a strategy in order to keep this city of Haoyang from being captured by our army?" ”

Song Xiance shook his head hurriedly and said, "King Chuang, you are too careful." In this city of Haoyang, the Tang army is only a few thousand people, as long as our army works together to attack it, it will be able to overcome it with one drum. It's just that I privately thought that it was useless to capture such a small county town with no strategic position. On the contrary, because of this, he completely turned against the Tang army, but it cut off a financial route for our army. ”

Li Zicheng sighed, frowned and did not speak.

Song Xiance looked at his face and knew that Li Zicheng was already moved, and said hurriedly: "King Chuang, Gao Jie's house, it is unforgivable to commit such a crime!" However, it is not too late to impose heavy punishment after future visits are found. It's just that this lady is not there, but the transaction is there, and this is a transaction sent by Tang Jun to the door, if you don't agree, it's a pity! ”

Li Zicheng let out a long sigh, a cold light flashed in a pair of cruel and slender eyes, and finally nodded: "Okay, just like the arrangement of the Song Army, in the future, our army, but there are prisoners captured, we will come to exchange with them." Grandma's, it's also good to be able to exchange more food and cloth. ”

Li Zicheng made this statement, and Song Xiance was overjoyed: "King Chuang is really a hero!" The priorities are clearly distinguished, and they are not moved by the private feelings of some children. In the next for the king of a big congratulations. ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand, but asked softly: "Then Li Xiao, what do you want to do with many people, these tens of thousands of people are tens of thousands of mouths, they have to eat, drink and Lasa every day, and they don't know how much money and food they consume." So where does Li Xiao get a lot of money and food, can he afford it? ”

Song Xiance scratched his head and said, "King Chuang, I don't know about this. However, I heard that Li Xiao is now vigorously expanding overseas, and it is precisely because of the need for a large number of people to go there to develop. As for where his money and food come from, we don't have to worry about it. Anyway, it's a deal of handing over people with one hand and delivering goods with one hand, and we're afraid that he will deny it. ”

Li Zicheng snorted, then nodded and said, "Okay, then Li Xiao will not be embarrassed by our army, and our army will temporarily do business with him." After all, we want money and food, and they want the people, but it's the best of both worlds. By the way, now sell the old and weak people in our army, more than 100,000 people, to him first, and exchange them for food as much as possible, and see if this Li Xiao is really as the surnamed Mo said. I'll leave it to you to do this. ”

"Gotcha! Chuang Wang is wise! ”

Seeing that there was a business to do so soon, Song Xiance's thin face suddenly smiled.

Subsequently, Li Zicheng and others set off from the camp and returned to western Henan.

Looking at the overwhelming army of rogues and setting off, Mo Changrong and Qi Mo unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Battalion Commander Mo, I didn't expect that you would really rely on these three inches as a rotten tongue to retire this group of thieves." Qi Mo looked happy.

"Haha, how can Mo have that ability. It's just this exchange of interests that has moved the minds of these thieves. In this world, there is no one who will not be able to get along with money, food, and goods. Mo Chang was smiling.

Twelve days later, Song Xiance personally led 120,000 people from Li Zijun's coerced subordinates and returned to the city of Haoyang.

"General Mo, open the door and open the door, my old Song, I'm here to send you a deal!"

Song Xiance's face was dusty, but he was full of joy.

Mo Changrong stood on the city tower and laughed: "Wow, Song Junshi is really a trustworthy person, it seems that our business can really be done for a long time." ”

Subsequently, Mo Changrong led a group of soldiers out of the city and carefully inspected the people brought by Song Xiance.

Later, he found that this group of people, except for more than 10,000 young men, the rest were women and old and weak. It's just that Rao is like a guide, Mo Changrong is already very happy in his heart.

Even if the women are old and weak, they can re-form a new family with other men and then go to the South Seas.

In the end, the result of the negotiation was that this group of people was equivalent to a total of 85,000 taels of silver, and then 25,000 stones of grain, 1,000 cigarettes, and 1,000 horses of cotton cloth at market prices.

Song Xiance was very satisfied with this result, of course, in addition, he was also among them, and quietly took 3,000 taels of silver as a personal benefit fee.

After all, there is motivation only when there is harvest, and I have worked hard to send these people here from Henan, so I have to comfort myself.

Of course, if you only receive these 3,000 taels of silver, this harvest is still a little smaller. It's just that now the grain goods exchanged from the Tang army have to pass through their own hands, and when they pull their hair down, it will be another piece of fertilizer water......

"Master Song, how about it, my Tang Army is trustworthy enough. Song Junshi came here this time, but he really made a lot of money. ”

Mo Changrong said to him with a smile after ordering a few soldiers to carry the big silver box containing 3,000 taels of silver to Song Xiance.

"Haha! Good things and good things, your army is so trustworthy, our business will definitely be able to do for a long time. General Mo, you are also a cheerful person, we are really good at doing business with you. ”

Song Xiance smiled profusely, and then asked people to carefully separate the silver in the silver box and tie them up separately on each horse.

Finally, after leaving the 120,000 people outside the city of Haoyang, Song Xiance, who had a lot of money, left with a group of escort soldiers and left satisfied.

And Mo Changrong, who watched them leave, couldn't help but smile on his face.

He knew that Li Zicheng, as the most powerful gangster in the Ming Dynasty, had an amazing ability to destroy, and how deep and heavy the harm he did to the people. If Li Zicheng's troops, who now crisscross Shanxi and Henan, can exchange all the captured people from all over the country, it will be too much for the Tang army to help.

Mo Changrong even estimated that according to the speed at which Li Zicheng attacked Kexian County, he was afraid that he would be able to bring at least 170,000 or 80,000 captives over every month, which was a huge deal.

Moreover, that Song Xiance is such a greedy and good man, in the future, he will not only sell the old and weak, those more valuable middle-aged men, this person will definitely only sell more and more, and the number of displaced people he can collect in the future will definitely increase rapidly.

In this way, even if you are in this place, the number of displaced people you can accept in a year can reach nearly two million, which is an astonishing number.

In this way, the number of people sent overseas can be greatly increased, so as to ensure that the various overseas territories obtained by the Tang Army can have enough manpower and can be smoothly developed.

And once those overseas places can be fully developed, the Tang Army will finally usher in the moment of soaring.

Just when Mo Changrong fell into a beautiful reverie for the future, Gao Jie and the others traveled all the way north and finally arrived at Jintang City on the North Road of Xuanfu Town.

Subsequently, the sentry horses and horses of the B General Division of the Zhengxi Battalion who escorted them returned to Haoyang on their own after handing over the soldiers and horses of Jintang City.

Duan Shidi, the commander of the Zhengbei Battalion stationed in Jintang City, entertained Gao Jie and others very warmly. Let them rest in the military camp of Zhengbei Camp in the city, and prepare for two days, Liu Wenxiu, deputy commander of Zhengbei Battalion, will lead the general soldiers and horses of Zhengbei Battalion, and then take 600 people of Flying Harrier Light Cavalry, and then escort them to Shandong.

On this night, when the entire military camp was silent, and Gao Jie, Li Chengdong and others were resting and sleeping, in a barracks, under the dim candlelight, the two lieutenants under Gao Jie, Wu Shengzhao and Li Benshen, were secretly plotting.

The content of their plot is to prepare to defect from Gao Jie and go back to Li Zicheng, or simply set up their own department and sneak back to Shaanxi to become a rogue again.

Among these two, Li Benshen is still Gao Jie's nephew, and Wu Shengzhao is also his old subordinate, but he didn't expect that these two people had already made up their minds and wanted to betray him.

And the reason why the two of them want to abscond back again is that along the way, the two of them are extremely disgusted with the various systems and rules of the Tang Army, and they are extremely disgusted with it, and even extremely disgusted.

Both of them felt that if they really arrived in Shandong, even if they were reincorporated into the Tang Army, then in the Tang Army, there were so many strict and numerous regulations, such a variety of rules and regulations, as well as the civil officials of the Supervision Department who forcibly pressed on their heads, and the Security Department, a secret agency that secretly observed them all the time, these things could add up to suffocate the self who was used to freedom.

If these things can be endured with gritted teeth, then the Tang Army's military discipline is extremely strict, and it is absolutely forbidden to harass and plunder the people, but Wu Shengzhao and Li Benshen are absolutely intolerable.

Damn, people are alive, don't they just want to be happy and wanton. So many rich people can't rob it, so many tender women can't get on, so what else can such a military force do!

So the two of them were on the road, and they were plotting all the way to lead their troops to escape as soon as possible, but because of the tight guard of the Tang Army at this post, the two had no chance, but now that they were in this golden soup city, the two felt that this should be the last chance to escape.

The two of them had already made a plan, and while they were still in Jintang City in the past two days, when the Tang army was slack, the two of them led hundreds of rogues who were also full of complaints and fled all the way south.

Both of them felt that if the soldiers and horses of the northern camp were re-escorted to the road, it would be impossible to escape.

"Then it is settled, and tomorrow during the day, go and make peace with all the brothers who are willing to flee, and when it is dark tomorrow, and the gates are not closed, we will move at once, and take the gate from the north gate." Li Benshen's rat eyes were burning, and he said in a low voice.

"Well, Benshen you're right. If we can escape from Jintang City, we will immediately go to the border mountain in the dark, this night is dark, even if the Tang army wants to pursue us, it will not be possible. After we got out of the city, we immediately entered the mountains, assembled again, and then crossed the border mountains, detoured to Datong, and then returned to Shaanxi. And as long as we return to Shaanxi, we brothers will not do whatever we want. Wu Shengzhao's face was grim, but he said in a firm voice.

"Alas, if only my uncle and them could escape with me and others, why do you have to join the Tang Army and suffer from this." Li Benshen let out a long sigh.

"Ahem, General Gao has no choice now, since he has done such a thing, he has become a mortal enemy with that Li Zicheng, and it is impossible to reconcile. It can be said that no matter where he goes, Li Zicheng will spare no effort to hunt him down, if he doesn't surrender, what way out can he have? We are different from him, then Li Zicheng and we have no deep hatred, if we vote for him, we will be accepted. Even if you don't accept it, with the ability of you and my brother, it's not a gesture to pull up a vote in Shaanxi? Wu Shengzhao sneered.

"Well, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, then it is a word!"

"Well, it's a deal!"

In the dim candlelight, the hands of the two people were tightly clasped together.
