Chapter 251: Six Hundred Miles Urgent
Liu Jun was stunned, Jiang Beiming was stunned, and even Wang Chengen and Lu Xiangsheng, who were sitting on it, were also stunned, did anyone really want to buy it?
Everyone followed the voice and looked over, and it was Jin Shang Fan Sanba who shouted the price. Fan Yongdou, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, did not come with him this time, and it was Fan Sanba who followed.
"Young Master Fan." Huang Yongfa, who was beside Fan Sanba, said in a low voice, "That jade pendant is not worth much, at most twenty or thirty taels of silver, how can you bid 100 taels?" ”
"Master Huang." Fan Sanba smiled, "The jade pendant is not valuable, but its owner is very valuable." ”
Liu Jun's gavel was raised high again: "100 taels for the first time, 100 taels for the second time." ”
Huang Yongfa suddenly understood: "I'll give 150 taels." ”
The surrounding Jin merchants all understood, it was the jade pendant of the master of ceremonies, not to mention 100 taels, even 1000 taels were worth it.
"I'll give 200 taels."
"I'll give 300 taels."
Someone keeps raising the price, Liu Jun doesn't have to shout at all, the price is constantly rising.
When it finally shouted 600 taels, no one shouted anymore, and this price was ridiculously high for the jade pendant itself. Besides, no one knows if Wang Chengen will auction this thing, if there is anything else, then it will be too cost-effective to increase the price.
"Six hundred taels for the first time, six hundred taels for the second time, six hundred taels for the third time." The gavel in Liu Jun's hand had just fallen halfway, and a loud voice came, "I'll give five hundred taels." ”
Liu Jun's hand stopped, and it was Omubu who shouted the price.
"Lord Wang." Liu Jun explained, "Our rule is that we can only increase the price, not reduce the price. ”
"I know." Omubu said, "I'll give you 500 taels of gold." ”
"Deal." Liu Jun didn't even shout a few times, and smashed a hammer directly on the table.
Wang Chengen's heart blossomed, and Wang Chengen's intention to give out 500 taels of gold Wang Chengen knew it, but he couldn't control it so much, this was more than 4,000 taels of silver, more than 100 times the profit.
Wang Chengen touched his whole body, and secretly said to Jiang Beiming: "General Jiang, we still have some gadgets here, General Jiang will help me sell them later." ”
Jiang Beiming smiled at Wang Chengen: "Princess, the real auction is below, Princess-in-law will take a look." ”
Outside the crowd, 30 Yulin soldiers came to Liu Jun with 30 flintlock pistols. Dozens of Yulin soldiers separated the onlookers and placed a wooden target in the center of the clearing.
30 fighters raised flintlock muskets. After a burst of gunfire, the wooden target 100 meters away was powdered.
The 30 soldiers put the flintlock pistols in their hands neatly on the table, and Liu Jun stepped forward and raised a gun: "Excellent self-made fire, equipped with a bayonet, 30 rounds of guns, starting at 50 taels." A total of 30 pieces, purchased together, the total price is 1400 taels, and the price is increased by 100 taels each time. ”
Wang Chengen and Lu Xiangsheng both looked at Jiang Beiming: "Do you even sell this?" ”
Jiang Beiming said with a smile: "As long as we can make money, we will sell it." ”
Fan Sanba below was the first to shout: "I'll give 1500 taels." ”
Huang Yongfa then shouted: "I'll give 1,600 taels." ”
This kind of self-generated fire gun has never been seen by these Jin merchants, such a long range, such a power, if this is equipped for their own militia, then the entire grassland will not be able to walk sideways by themselves.
The shouting price is constantly rising little by little, 1800 taels, 2000 taels, 2500 taels, and 3000 taels are about to be shouted.
Omubu suddenly stood up and gave Jiang Beiming a deep salute: "General Jiang, may I ask if we Mongolians can also buy these firearms?" ”
"Absolutely." Jiang Beiming said with a smile, "Everyone can buy everything today, regardless of each other." ”
"Thank you, General Chiang." Omubu turned around and shouted, "I'll give 5,000 taels." ”
"Deal." Liu Jun's gavel fell heavily for the second time.
The next auction is some of the Yulin army provided ironware, kettles, military boots and other military supplies and those Jin merchants brought some daily necessities, all the onlookers of the Mongols and Ming soldiers were gradually driven, and people were constantly reporting the price.
Omubu stood up again and asked Jiang Beiming: "General Jiang, these things you brought are indeed what we Mongolians need, but the people on our steppe have scarce money, can we exchange our things?" ”
"Absolutely." Jiang Beiming replied, "Buying and selling, buying and selling, it is called buying and selling." Not only can the prince auction your things, but the official will also ask the prince to tell the surrounding tribes that there are all the things they need in the naturalization city, and anyone can come here to do business. There is no distinction between Mongols and Han Chinese, everyone is a businessman. ”
Omubu gave a deep salute: "Thank you, General Jiang." ”
The whole auction lasted for three days, and after three days, there was no need for Liu Jun to shout hoarsely. Mongols from all over the world continued to flock to the city of Naturalization, which was almost becoming a big bazaar.
Jiang Beiming, Wang Chengen, and Lu Xiangsheng sat in the government of Guihua City, which had been requisitioned by Lu Xiangsheng as the headquarters of the Ming army.
"Princess-in-law, Lu Shuai." Jiang Beiming opened his mouth and said, "In the past few days, the transaction has been 60,000 taels of silver. According to our regulations of 5 per 100, a total of 3,000 taels of taxes will be collected. Half of them were transferred by the prince to Banzai, which is considered our filial piety to Banzai, and the other half has been handed over to Lu Shuai as military expenses. ”
"Worth five out of a hundred?" Wang Chengen asked, "Is this tax too high?" ”
"Don't worry, it's not high at all." Jiang Beiming said with a smile, "These days, have you ever seen anyone complaining?" Whether it is a Jin merchant or a Mongol, the profit from the goods they sell is at least more than half, and the value is not high. ”
After Jiang Beiming finished speaking, he secretly said in his heart: "If you know the tax rate of the future generations, you must not be scared to death." ”
"And." Jiang Beiming said again, "These 3,000 taels of silver are just our taxes for the past few days, and in the future, every household in the naturalized city will be collected according to this standard, regardless of whether they are Han or Mongolian." ”
"General Chiang." Lu Xiangsheng, who had been silent for a long time, said, "General Jiang's auction and the value of five hundred draws are really admired, and this marshal now also knows the benefits of trade, but General Jiang also sold firearms to the Mongols, is this something that General Jiang has not considered?" ”
"Go back to Lu Shuai." Jiang Beiming replied, "There are a total of thirty firearms, and there will be no trouble." As long as we can control the Mongols, we will sell them more firearms in the future, and wouldn't it be better for them to help us fight against the Jin? ”
Lu Xiangsheng wanted to ask something more, but a sergeant ran in from the outside.
"Newspaper. Qi Yu Dashuai, Beijing 600 miles urgent. ”
"Beijing 600 miles expedited?" Wang Chengen was the first to stand up and shouted, "Where are the people?" Hurry up and bring it in. ”
A Ming sergeant was supported by several soldiers and walked in and knelt on the ground: "Qi Lu Shuai, Qi Yu Wang Gonggong, Huang Taiji personally marshal 80,000 troops broke through the pass from Da'ankou, and when they left, they had already hit the Changping area." Long live the will, please ask the prince and Lu Shuai to return to the army to rescue as soon as possible. ”
"80,000 Tartars?" Wang Chengen sat on the chair again, "Master Lu, hurry back to the teacher, it's too late." ”
"How many soldiers and horses of King Qin are there in Beijing now?" Jiang Beiming asked, "Have the soldiers and horses of Datong and Xuanfu Town returned to aid the Beijing Division?" ”
"Return to General Chiang." The sergeant who delivered the letter recognized Jiang Beiming, "Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other rogues returned to the area of Henan and Shanxi, and the local soldiers and horses could not return to help the Beijing Division, so they came to Lu Shuai for help non-stop." ”
"Herald." Lu Xiangsheng was also anxious, "Pack up overnight and start the camp tomorrow morning." ”
Jiang Beiming didn't say anything more, and after returning to the Yulin Army barracks, several traversers quickly held a meeting.
"This Tao Min is really ghostly." Zhou Lei scolded, "We thought he would come to Naturalization City, but we didn't expect him to go to Beijing." ”
"Tao Min is indeed scheming." Jiang Beiming said, "The Shenji Battalion has been brought out by us, and the air defense of Beijing City is empty. The surrounding soldiers and horses were dragged by Gao Yingxiang again, and it seems that only we are going back. ”
"How could Gao Yingxiang return to Ha Nan now?" Fan Qiuming asked, "Could it be that they are also connected to Tao Min?" ”
"I'll talk about whether there's any contact later." Liu Jun said, "What should we do now?" Han Wantao and Zhang Hai are still in Beijing. ”
"Surround Wei to save Zhao, light a fire in the backyard, and repeat the trick? It is indeed high. Xu Lang, who had not spoken, suddenly said to himself.
"What are you babbling about?" Jiang Beiming asked, "Hurry up and come up with an idea, tomorrow Lu Xiangsheng will pull out the camp and start the village, what should we do, what should we do in the Naturalization City?" ”
"Beiming, you said that Huang Taiji dispatched 80,000 troops this time?" Xu Lang asked rhetorically.
"Yes, 80,000." Jiang Beiming replied, "It seems that they are bound to win this time." ”
"That means their Shengjing is empty again?" Xu Lang muttered to himself again.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Fan Qiuming shouted dissatisfiedly, "If you have any ideas, say it quickly, don't talk about it yourself." ”
Xu Lang waved his hand to stop Fan Qiuming's nagging, and he lowered his head and thought for a while: "Everyone, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a total of 100,000 troops. Wang Zhaoxing is now attacking Lushun and Korea, and Tao Min will never give up Lushun, and Lushun has a garrison of at least 20,000. In other words, their 80,000 Eight Banners were the strength of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty. Then Shengjing must be empty. ”
"Even so, so what?" Wang Qianxiang asked.
"Don't worry." Xu Lang smiled, "Do you know what it means to 'repay the other with the other'?" ”
"You don't want to surprise Shengjing again, do you?" Jiang Beiming asked.
"Yes, let's go to Shengjing again." Xu Lang replied, "Tao Min repeated his old tricks this time, broke through the pass from Da'ankou, and went straight to Beijing, using the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao. He thought that we would definitely think that he came to Guihua City, and never imagined that he would go to Beijing. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Lang smiled again: "Of course, we really didn't expect him to go to Beijing." In this move, Tao Min won. But in the next step, he would never think of us copying his method and going to Shengjing. ”
"What do you want to do?" Fan Qiuming asked, "Also, what about Naturalization City?" ”
"You see if this will work." Xu Lang explained his plan in detail, "Zhou Lei led his regiment and 12 artillery pieces to garrison Guihua City. Let's look for horses from the city, and if we can't do it, we will ask for horses with Lu Xiangsheng. Beiming and I took Wang Qianxiang's regiment, all on horseback, and attacked Shengjing. Guihua City is about 2,000 miles away from Shengjing, we don't hesitate to grab horses along the way, and we can reach Shengjing in almost 10 days, and we will be caught off guard. ”
"But that's it." Jiang Beiming raised his own question again, "We can't carry artillery at all, and we can't fight it when we get to Shengjing." ”
"I know I can't beat it." Xu Lang explained, "Our purpose is not to take Shengjing, as long as we can bring Huang Taiji's soldiers back." Liu Jun, you and Lao Fan followed Lu Xiangsheng back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, we did two things, first, let out the rumors, saying that our Yulin Army attacked Shengjing, and we must let Huang Taiji know; Second, find someone to inform Wang Zhaoxing that he will pick us up in Dandong in the future, and Beiming and I will take someone to wait for him there. ”
"That's fine." Liu Jun asked, "But even if Huang Taiji knows that you will definitely withdraw from the army if you go to attack Shengjing?" Don't forget that Tao Min might have guessed our intentions. ”
"It doesn't matter if Tao Min guesses, Huang Taiji will definitely retreat." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Because there is his most beloved woman in Shengjing, Borzigit Hailanzhu." Great love. (To be continued.) )
