Chapter 250: Auction

"Replace the gun, fast, fast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Zhang Shujie was in a hurry, why were the Tartars on the other side so desperate, the salvo just now didn't repel them.

The speed at which the Ming army replaced the guns was much lower than that of the Yulin army, and the sound of guns and cannons was no longer uniform, but became scattered.

"My lord, my lord, the Tartars have come up." The Ming army began to panic.

Zhang Shujie kept shuttling among these musketeers with a big knife: "No one is allowed to retreat, and those who escape from the battle will be killed." ”

Lu Xiangsheng stood in the army and saw it clearly, and now it seems that it is not possible to meet each other in a short manner.

Lu Xiangsheng raised the big knife for the third time: "Three army sons, charge with this commander, kill the Tartars!" ”

Thousands of cavalry followed Lu Xiangsheng for less than half the distance, and the earth-shattering cannon sound sounded again, 12 6-pounder guns sprayed more than 2,000 shots, and almost a third of the Tartar cavalry who were charging were hit under their horses.

The Tartars finally retreated, and Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath and didn't realize that he had a new view of the Yulin Army, this army was not only majestic and mighty, but also had sharp firearms, and such artillery was probably not found by the entire Ming Dynasty.

It was almost noon, and the city gate of Guihua City was blocked with boulders, and the Ming army also withdrew its troops.

Wang Chengen sat in the big tent and looked at these Ming army generals with satisfaction, how long had it been since he had fought such a happy battle. What especially pleased Wang Chengen was that in the face of the Tartar cavalry charge today, it was not easy for the Shenji Battalion to achieve the unification of the generals. Although the battle behind was still a little lacking, but none of the soldiers flinched, Wang Chengen's heart was already planning to return to Beijing how to praise and praise these Shenji battalions to the Long Live Lord.

"Adjutant General Zhang." Wang Chengen's face was piled with a sincere smile, "You have won a big victory this time, and our family will definitely ask for credit from the Lord Banzai." ”

"Thank you, Princess." Zhang Shujie saluted Wang Chengen, then stood up and hugged Jiang Beiming, "Thank you General Jiang for your help today." ”

"Master Zhang is serious." Jiang Beiming also saluted, "They are all Ming soldiers, and they should help." ”

Wang Chengen asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Lu, our army is victorious today, what does Lord Lu want to do next?" ”

"Back to the prince." Lu Xiangsheng replied, "Let's make persistent efforts and take this city in one go." ”

Jiang Beiming heard Lu Xiangsheng say this, stood up and said: "Princess, Lu Shuai, my subordinates have a word, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "General Jiang has something to say, please speak." ”

"Princess-in-law, Lu Shuai." Jiang Beiming rushed to the top again, "Let's come to Mongolia this time, Long Live Lord also has a will, attacking the heart for the upper and attacking the city for the next." There is no problem for my Ming soldiers to conquer the Naturalization City, but my subordinates are willing to ask you to restrain the soldiers and not to loot wantonly. In particular, I implore Lu Shuai to restrain the militia of those Jin merchants, if what they did ruined the hundred-year plan of Long Life, it would be worth the loss. ”

"Don't worry about this." Wang Chengen said, "Before our family came out, Long Live Lord also told our family that we should try our best to appease the Mongols, and we should not use excessive force. ”

"So Lord Lu." Wang Chengen turned his head to Lu Xiangsheng again, "Please also ask Lord Lu to pay more attention." ”

"There is a reminder from the prince of Lao." Lu Xiangsheng said, "Generals, when the city is broken, it is absolutely forbidden to loot wantonly, take care of their subordinates, and if they violate it, they will correct the law on the spot." ”

"Obey the commander's orders." They all replied together.

The next day, 12 6-pounder guns easily collapsed a city wall, and thousands of Ming troops swarmed in, with the sound of firearms and crossbows.

Ye Zhan led a battalion of the Yulin Army to post notices everywhere, and warned the Mongols in the city everywhere that they should stay at home and not go out.

A commotion came from the corner of the street, seemingly mixed with miserable cries.

Ye Zhan led the people to the corner of the street, where more than a dozen people from the Jin merchant militia were snatching the belongings of a Mongol.

"Stop it all!" Ye Zhan shouted, and the surrounding Yulin Bay soldiers raised their flintlock pistols one after another.

"It turned out to be a family." The leader of a militia group led by him looked at Ye Zhan nonchalantly, "Brothers, don't rob them all, leave a little for them, let's go to the next house." ”

Before Ye Zhan could speak, the two militia members dragged a Mongolian girl out of the house: "Head, there is still a chick here, take it back together, have fun tonight." ”

Ye Zhan's heart was on fire, and he stepped forward and kicked one over, and before the other could react, Ye Zhan slapped him firmly in the face.

"You." The beaten man was just about to say something, but he looked up and saw the military uniform on Ye Zhan's body, and swallowed back the words behind him.

"Brothers, go, and keep them for them." The leader of the militia glared at Ye Zhan, "It's so black and black." ”

"Stand still." Ye Zhan shouted coldly, "Lu Shuai has an order, arson robbery, and correct the law on the spot." ”

The people in the surrounding militia groups were stunned, could it be that the young officer in front of him did not take care of his own people, but wanted to defend the Mongols?

"Someone." Ye Zhan shouted angrily, "Take away all these militia groups that violate military orders and hand them over to Lu Shuai for disposal." ”

After Ye Zhan finished speaking, he stepped forward to help the Mongolian girl up, and called the interpreter over: "You tell them, stay at home and don't come out, no one dares to harass them anymore." ”

Jiang Beiming and other generals accompanied Wang Chengen and Lu Xiangsheng into the city, but before they arrived at the office, they bumped into several Ming soldiers with large bags in their hands.

"Stop." Jiang Beiming stepped forward immediately, "The prince and Lu Shuai are here, why don't you come to pay homage?" ”

The soldiers looked at Jiang Beiming, and had no choice but to put down the things in their hands and kneel on the ground: "See the prince and the prince for the humble position, see Lu Shuai." ”

"That's it." Wang Chengen glanced at the package on the ground, and didn't care, "Hurry up and clear the remnants, don't miss the business of the Long Live Lord." ”

"Obedience." A few soldiers stood up and picked up their packages and were just about to leave, when Ye Zhan rushed over with more than a dozen militia groups.

Ye Zhan came to Wang Chengen and Lu Xiangsheng and knelt down on one knee: "My subordinates see Wang Gonggong, see Lu Shuai." ”

"Ye Zhan." Jiang Beiming asked first, "What's going on with those people behind you, and why are they tied up?" ”

"Back to sir." Ye Zhan saw Jiang Beiming asking, so he replied, "These Jin merchant militia groups have robbed the army, broken the military orders of Lu Shuai and the prince, and damaged the heavenly prestige of the Long Live Lord, so the subordinates brought them to the prince and Lu Shuai for disposal." ”

Wang Chengen didn't speak, and looked up at Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Lu." ”

Lu Xiangsheng's face became ugly: "The commander has an order, and the arson and looters will be killed." ”

The surrounding generals of the Ming army all looked at each other: "It's really a kill, it's not the people of the Ming Dynasty who robbed it, this is the place of the Mongols, this is called Ye Zhan, how can it be a tendon." ”

Jiang Beiming hugged his fists at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Lu Shuai, although Lu Shuai has a military order first, but I remember that they are not my Ming sergeants, and they are the first offenders. I also hope that Lu Shuai will be gracious, just punish it a little, if there is a next time, it will not be too late. ”

"Yes, Lord Lu." Wang Chengen also said, "Our army has won a complete victory, and it may not be so auspicious to kill people now." ”

"Since the prince also said so, then spare them the death penalty." Lu Xiangsheng shouted, "If the death sin is forgiven, the living sin is inevitable." Come, bring them down, forty sticks for each person. ”

Xu Lang was behind Jiang Beiming, and secretly laughed in his heart: "You're bad, you can sing with a red face and a white face." ”

After a full day of clearing the battlefield, all the living Eight Banners and Mongol soldiers were captured. Under Lu Xiangsheng's strict military orders, the city of Guihua gradually returned to peace.

Wang Chengen and Lu Xiangsheng sat steadily in the palace of Guihua City, opposite to the kneeling Omubu and others.

"Hmph." Wang Chengen snorted softly in his nose, "Omubu, you are also a descendant of Altan Khan." At that time, Altan Khan had good relations with my Ming Dynasty and exchanged trade, so he built this naturalized city. Why do you want to take refuge in the anti-Golden Emperor Taiji now? ”

"Enlighten the princess." Omubu kowtowed, "The sinner is really wronged." The criminal minister wanted to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, but the reverse Jin Emperor Taiji had conquered my Tumut Department several times. I have few major generals in the Tumut Army, and there is no way to rely on the reverse gold. ”

"Huh." Wang Chengen sneered, "There is no way. ”

"Back to the prince." Omubu straightened up, "The criminal doesn't want to explain anything, the criminal swears to Changshengtian that in the future, he will definitely have his heart to the Ming Dynasty and break off with the reverse gold." ”

Omubu was telling the truth, he thought that after the Ming army broke the city, he would definitely go on a killing spree, even if he could escape his life, his family and the Naturalization City would definitely be on the run. But I didn't expect that although there were sporadic robberies after the Ming army entered the city, most of the Ming army was well-behaved, especially those who did not wear armor and wore strange clothes. His palace was surrounded by these people, but Qiu did not commit any crimes.

At first, he didn't know what the Ming army was going to do, until an officer of the Yulin Army named Xu Lang came to tell him that the Ming army's operation was not to destroy the Tumut tribe, but that the Chongzhen Emperor in Beijing wanted to reopen trade with the Mongol tribes.

But Xu Lang said something that made Omubu think for a long time, auction? What exactly is an auction?

When Wang Chengen and Lu Xiangsheng also heard the word auction from Jiang Beiming's mouth, the two of them were also confused for a long time. Jiang Beiming had to explain over and over again that auction was a form of commerce for the remnants of the pre-Song Dynasty overseas, and it could sell goods to the highest price.

When Wang Chengen heard that a part of the silver from the auction could be distributed to him, he didn't care what the auction was, as long as there was silver to honor long live, you didn't care what he was.

The auction took place in the open space in front of the palace, and all the Mongols were expelled from their homes, including Omubu. No one knew what these Ming soldiers were going to do to themselves, and everyone stood together tremblingly.

The first auction item was actually a jade pendant on Wang Chengen's body, which Jiang Beiming asked for from Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen was relatively incorruptible among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, and this jade pendant was not very valuable, he spent 30 taels of silver in Beijing to buy it himself. Jiang Beiming told him that this jade pendant could be sold for at least 50 taels of silver.

Liu Jun held up the jade pendant high and began to exert the foolish skills he had cultivated in Guangzhou in the past two years: "The Ming Emperor gave him a jade jade pendant from Hetian, and the owner is the master of ceremonies and the prince of the princes." The texture is high, the workmanship is excellent, and the price starts at 30 taels. Each quote increases the price by one or two silver, is there a price increase? ”

The interpreter translated Liu Jun's words into Mongolian and shouted out, but no one answered, because most of the Mongols still didn't understand what they were doing. Is it selling something? But how can there be such a sale?

"I'll give 31 taels." Fan Qiuming shouted as he stood in the crowd.

This is also discussed by the traversers, if no one shouts the price, the traverser will buy this jade pendant, and it must not be cold, let alone unsold.

"Okay." Liu Jun pointed at Fan Qiuming, "This adult bid 31 taels, is there any price increase?" ”

The gavel in Liu Jun's hand was raised high: "31 taels for the first time, 31 taels for the second time." ”

"I'll give you 35 taels." Zhou Lei shouted the second.

"Okay, 35 taels for the first time, 35 taels for the second time."

"I'll give 40 taels." It was Xu Lang who was bidding.

Wang Chengen laughed softly in his heart, this is called an auction? Isn't this all your Yulin Army playing by yourself?

"I'll give you a hundred taels."

This time it wasn't Yulinjun playing by himself, someone in the crowd shouted. (To be continued.) )
