The rough work of transporting supplies is naturally done by people like the Green Battalion who are lower than the banner people, or even worse than the coats.

Although this matter is hard and requires physical strength, the green battalion soldiers are not tired of it, because in the process of transportation, there will naturally be losses, and how much loss depends on whether they are bold or not.

After hearing the words, Mr. Qian raised his eyebrows, no longer paid attention to the soldiers who were reprimanded, turned to the general manager, and said happily: "Go, go and see!" ”

At that moment, he walked out of the doorway, looked out of the city, and sure enough, in the distance, a convoy composed of nearly 100 carts, under the escort of the cavalry, followed the official road, looking at Xinye.

This was more than the previous convoys, carrying more supplies, each with four or five coats, and hundreds of burly cavalry guards with large waists.

Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment, could it be that the Qing army that had plundered in Huguang came back?

"Mr. Qian, do you want to let the humble job greet you." The general manager is still thinking about the benefits, looking at the thousand total with a smile, full of expectations.

Mr. Qian nodded, and the general manager showed joy on his face, and immediately beckoned his subordinates to prepare to meet the convoy, but Mr. Qian opened his mouth and instructed: "Look at what they transported, and then ask what is going on, how can the cavalry come back?" ”

The general deal with it casually, and then beckoned his subordinates to a happy past.

The days in the north were not easy, and this year the Qing army lost Jiangnan, Henan was already self-sufficient after four years of recovery, but the Qing court repeatedly fought wars, the army consumed too much grain and grass, and the snow disaster began to appear in winter, Beizhi, Shandong, and Lianghuai all had food shortages, and the Qing court could only requisition grain from Henan and Shanxi on a large scale, which made Henan also soar in grain prices.

Under the rule of the Qing court, the economy of the entire north was about to collapse, relying on taxes, the Qing court was already difficult to operate, and it was difficult to guarantee even the Eight Banners, not to mention the green battalion, but even if the Qing court now paid the green battalion full salary, the green battalion soldiers were not enough to support their families in the face of soaring food prices, so they could only try their best to make some money.

Mr. Qian looked at the general leader with more than 100 people and greeted him, but there was a shortage of people at the city gate, so he stretched out his hand to summon his own soldiers and asked him to call some more people, while he stood at the city gate and waited.

After a while, the convoy came to the city gate, took the general manager back first, walked to the side of the thousand general manager and whispered: "Qian Zong, you are going to make a fortune, the front is grain, the back is full of wooden boxes, the escorted Niu Lu does not let us approach, it is estimated that it is full of gold and silver treasures." ”

When Mr. Qian heard him say this, he was also interested in his heart, "Those who see it have a share, you go into the city to arrange a place for the vehicles to park, and then find some houses for the flag soldiers to rest." ”

When the general heard this, he immediately went into the city.

At this time, the green battalion soldiers at the city gate stopped the convoy, Mr. Qian stepped forward and glanced at the convoy, the cavalry are all strong men, and those who eat rice generally can't grow so strong, and in addition to the cavalry, the clothes of the cart are also young and strong men, more energetic than the green battalion soldiers.

In the current year, there is still a leak of oil, and all the fucking people are the privileged class. Before entering the customs, Baoyi was the object of oppression by the banner people, but after entering the customs, Baoyi became a tool to assist the banner people to oppress the Han people, and the treatment was already worlds apart.

Mr. Qian didn't have any doubts when he saw it, because this was indeed the flag soldier, but it was just the flag soldier who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he stepped forward and was about to conduct a routine inspection, but suddenly saw that there was no green camp with him, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't General Xu's people come back together?" ”

Tan Tai pretended to be Niu Lu, riding on a war horse, with an arrogant attitude, he listened to Mr. Qian's words, pretended not to understand, and looked at a person next to him, but it was Zhang Cunren.

Both of them are disguised, and they are not particularly familiar people, so it is difficult to see the clues.

Zhang Cunren reacted, hurriedly left the car, nodded and came to Tan Tai's side, and said with a doggy smile: "Master, why didn't the general ask General Xu why he came?" ”

Tan Tai looked very annoyed after hearing this, and immediately burst out a mouthful of Manchu that the ghost couldn't understand, which made Mr. Qian stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped aside after he finished speaking, no longer speaking, as if he was letting this coat deal with it.

"Hanshui is about to thaw, Prince Ying has returned to the camp at the mouth of the river, and he will come back with General Xu in the camp, my master is ordered by Prince Ying's second son, Fu Lehe, the prince of Zhenguo, to escort a batch of supplies back first, this President Qian will let him go!" Zhang Cunren straightened up and said with a slight arch.

After hearing this, Mr. Qian was really as he expected, the cavalry that entered Huguang to plunder had been withdrawn, but why did this team of men and horses come back with different brigades?

"After the general ordered someone to inspect it, he would be released immediately."

Zhang Cunren smiled slightly, "This is the material of Zhenguo Gong, so there is no need to inspect it!" ”

Mr. Qian was slightly stunned, and then reacted, and understood why this team of people came back first, and there was no green battalion escort.

Just like the green battalion wants to find ways to reap benefits, the flag soldiers also want to reap benefits, Prince Ying has looted in Huguang for more than a month, robbing I don't know how many materials, naturally can't all be handed over to the imperial court, and Prince Ying naturally has to keep some, so this pair of people and horses in the name of the second son, smuggled away a batch of materials and hid them first.

Thinking about this, Mr. Qian's face changed, and he naturally wanted to check it even more, "This is not in accordance with the rules, if the above blames it, I can't pay the difference, brother!" ”

As he spoke, Mr. Qian beckoned people to check, and seeing this, Tan Tai, who was riding on the horse, was singing again.

After hearing this, Zhang Cunren hurriedly grabbed the Qianzong, "General, this is something from Prince Ying's mansion, you won't give Prince Ying face!" As he spoke, Zhang Cunren stretched out his hand back, and another member of Baoyi immediately stepped forward and handed over a money bag.

After Zhang Cunren took it, he immediately stuffed it to Mr. Qian, who received it in his hand, weighed it, at most more than twenty taels, and his face was a little unsightly. What the hell is this Hanako? If you eat meat, why should the brothers finish the soup, isn't the green camp human, and you have to lose a bone if you raise a dog!

Mr. Qian was angry in his heart, but he pinched it with his hand, but the feeling was different, it was not broken silver, so he hurriedly opened it to see, it turned out to be a gold leaf, he suddenly smiled meaningfully, and said: "Let's get rich together!" ”

He immediately took the money bag into his arms, waved his hand for the green battalion soldiers to let him go, and then said: "Ben General has already prepared a place for people, go in and rest!" ”

Zhang Cunren immediately arched his hand, Tan Tai clamped the horse's belly, waved his hand, and beckoned the convoy into the city. Mr. Qian stood aside, touched his chest, the heavy money bag, and felt very comfortable, but looking at the big cars, his heart was a little unbalanced, and he lowered his head and sighed.

In the south of Xinye City, in a forest about three miles, nearly 10,000 horses are ready to go, Liu Fangliang's more than 5,000 infantry troops, together with the rampaging horse army, are hidden here, they dare not get too close to Xinye, so they can only stay away.

At this time, they didn't know the situation of the convoy, and they could only wait for Tan Tai's signal one by one, and then break the city in one fell swoop.

At the city gate, the green battalion soldiers moved the horses away, let the convoy in, and Qian always watched from the side, and on the car in front, there were bags of rice and grain, which were dragged by mules and horses, and the back should be the gold and silver treasures that the general said.

People love money, although it is not their own thing, but it is not an exaggeration to look at it, especially the boxes of treasures, Mr. Qian's eyes are on the vehicle with a large wooden box, and he is a little envious in his heart, but suddenly Mr. Qian's face has changed, his eyes fell on the rut, and his heart suddenly became suspicious.

If there is gold and silver in this chest, how can the marks left by the wheels not be as deep as the grain cart in front of it?

Qianhu immediately stepped forward, blocked the vehicle from entering the city, pressed the war knife in one hand, and shouted: "Open the box!" ”

At this time, the entire convoy had already entered a small half, Zhang Cunren, who stayed outside to take care of him, saw this, and gave the subordinate a look, a Bao Yi immediately opened a large box, Qian Zong stepped forward, jumped into the car, and was about to bend down to look, only to see a flash of knife light, and a war knife stabbed into the waist of Qian Zong from behind.

"Ahh With a miserable scream, the war knife was drawn, and the blood splashed and sprinkled on the ground, instantly melting the snow, and the corpse of Qian Zong was soft, fell from the car, and rolled to the ground.

The sudden change stunned a group of green battalion soldiers who looked at the convoy stupidly, and Zhang Cunren immediately shouted, "Do it!" ”
