Chapter XXIII Delivery
In this way, the limelight of the Xingtianjun was suppressed by Li Zicheng, and once again became the focus of the imperial court, and Xiao Tianjian's side, as promised, prepared to stop the weapons that Li Zicheng wanted, and transported them to the ancient town wharf with dozens of large trucks, and at the end of September, a fleet of several large ships finally docked at the ancient town wharf.
Although this time since Li Zicheng entered Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting sent heavy troops to hold the first line of Tongguan, trying to give Li Zicheng and these righteous troops from all walks of life to a gate in Shaanxi to fight dogs, but with the contacts accumulated over the years in the east and west, Li Zicheng secretly had some methods, got a few boats in Heyang County, Tongzhou, went down the river to the ancient town, and docked at the dock of the ancient town.
Tian Jianxiu was dressed as a businessman this time, and strode from the gangplank to the trestle, and Feng Gouzi had been waiting here for a long time, as soon as the two met, they greeted each other, Tian Jianxiu was not too polite to Feng Gouzi, after a little greeting, he waved his hand, let his subordinates carry down a few large boxes from the boat, and put them on the dock, after opening the lid of the box forcefully, a snowflake silver with white flowers was suddenly revealed inside, fifty taels per ingot, and at a glance I knew that it was official silver with quite good condition.
"This is the silver taels that we have prepared for King Chuang, a total of 50,000 taels of silver, Brother Feng will check it!" But I don't know what I made an appointment with General Xiao last time, is your army ready? Tian Jianxiu pretended to be generous and said to Feng Gouzi.
Feng Gouzi glanced at the boxes of silver, and immediately waved his hand to let the lid be lifted down, and replied with a smile: "With our general's temper, since such things have already been promised to Brother Tian, how can we break our promises!" Brother Tian, please go this way! The goods have already been shipped here!
Here is the list, a total of 200 pairs of iron armor, 500 bird guns, 500 pounds of gunpowder, 2,000 single knives, 3,000 spear heads, the same is a lot! In addition, the general said that this is the first time that our two armies have cooperated in this way, and in addition, he has given your army 200 saddles, 300 three-eyed guns, and 150 abductors, which are used as gifts for Brother Tian! Absolutely all of the best goods! ”
Tian Jianxiu immediately walked to the front of the cargo with his subordinates, took out some weapons and looked at them, and after looking at them, he was in a good mood, these guys can be said to be quite good, far beyond his expectations, and after counting the quantity, there was no discrepancy at all, so he immediately hugged his fists and said to Feng Gouzi: "Then thank you General Xiao!" With these sharp weapons, we are still afraid of what those officers and soldiers will do! For General Xiao's affection, Tian is very grateful for treating my family to King Chuang! If General Xiao has a place to use us in the future, just open his mouth! Now that the brothers are in a hurry to get these things back, they will no longer bother the brothers! ”
Feng Gouzi said with a smile: "Brother knows that Brother Tian is like an arrow, but since he is here, how can he leave without even eating a meal?" Otherwise, if our general knew, wouldn't he have reprimanded his brothers? ”
Seeing that Feng Gouzi seemed to have something to say, Tian Jianxiu couldn't refuse, so he agreed to stay here for a while before leaving here.
During the banquet, Feng Gouzi and Tian Jianxiu had a very happy conversation, Tian Jianxiu saw that Xiao Tianjian was good to them, and he was in a good mood this time, so he told Feng Gouzi a lot of things about Shaanxi, so that Feng Gouzi had a lot of first-hand news about Shaanxi.
"My general also knows that King Li Chuang is having a difficult time now, don't hide it from Brother Tian, our general also wants to help more, and now Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting's dog officials are bent on killing all of us rebels, since you are inseparable from them in Shaanxi, we can't watch from the wall!
Today, Brother Tian will reveal a message to Brother Tian, our general has decided that he will send troops into Henan in the near future, echoing you from afar, and will relieve the people from hanging upside down, after Brother Tian goes back this time, you can tell King Li Chuang, if there is anything else you need, even if you come here, find us, our general said, our Xingtian Army does not have much else at the moment, there are still some iron, and all kinds of weapons can also help you a little, everyone is a rebel who raised troops to make the court, and we will help with anything! While drinking with Tian Jianxiu, Feng Gouzi revealed the news that Xiao Tianjian was going to lead the troops into Henan to Tian Jianxiu, acting like he was very heartfelt, and his chest was beating loudly.
After hearing this, Tian Jianxiu immediately became overjoyed and said: "Then thank you, General Xiao, if Brother Xiao can swing Henan now, then it would be great to dare to love!" In this way, with your ability to punish the heavenly army, you will definitely be able to turn Henan upside down again! If you can gain a foothold in Henan, we will go back to Henan again, and we will overturn Henan if we say anything! ”
Tian Jianxiu was also very grateful for Feng Gouzi's hospitality, and when he left, he also pulled Feng Gouzi and said: "Brother Feng, thanks to the hospitality, don't say anything else, there will be more opportunities to trouble you in the future, I hope Brother Feng will definitely help my brother more in the future!" ”
Feng Gouzi smiled and said to Tian Jianxiu: "Brother Tian, don't worry, this time you come over, our general said that we will definitely help if we can help, and we have also arranged ships to escort you through the area of Pinglu County to ensure that these goods will not be robbed by the government!" ”
After saying that, as soon as he waved his hand, more than 100 capable soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army's water battalion immediately boarded the boats one after another, and took the first step down the river and entered the Yellow River.
Tian Jianxiu didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to help so much, and even prepared people to escort them, so he was even more grateful, and after thanking them again and again, he boarded the boat and left, and more than a dozen small boats of the Xingtian Army escorted their big boats, heading towards the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
After watching Tian Jianxiu's ship disappear from view, Feng Gouzi sneered and said softly, "You guys just make trouble!" The bigger the trouble, the better! Hum! Otherwise, where would we have the money? ”
"Sentry General Yang, the general asked if you have all the ships ready?" Feng Gouzi turned around and asked Yang Kunshan, who was standing behind him.
Yang Kunshan, who was wearing a brand-new Xingtian Army uniform, stood straight, nodded and replied: "Please rest assured, the general has mobilized nearly seventy large and small ships, and he has already made preparations!" You can call it at any time! ”
Feng Gouzi nodded and said, "Very good!" Don't reveal the news for the time being, the general will come over in a few days! Be ready at all times! ”
"Obedience!" Yang Kunshan immediately replied loudly.
