Chapter 62: The Great Harvest (Part II)

There were too many booties obtained from Hadesling and two other bandit cottages, more than 28,000 taels of gold alone, more than 350,000 taels of silver, and as many as 20 million copper coins, most of which were taken from the Yama Ridge treasury. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you add the silver and copper coins seized from Weihu Village, the money in Liu Ji's hand, the total amount of silver has exceeded one million taels, which is definitely a huge amount of money.

If you want to pull all these gold, silver, and copper coins away, you need at least more than 200 four-wheeled carriages.

Yama Wangling has been entrenched in this mountainous area at the junction of Yongzhou and Wanzhou for many years, and often walks out of this mountainous area to plunder the counties and counties near the mountainous area, otherwise it is impossible to gather so much wealth, and Weihu Village and the other two bandit cottages also made a fortune by plundering the counties and counties near the mountainous area.

Among the 2,500 soldiers under Liu Ji's command, 500 are cavalry, and most of the horses of these cavalry are captured from Hadesling, and almost half of these 500 cavalry are cavalry from the original Hadesling bandits, and they were absorbed by Liu Ji Enwei.

The remaining part of the cavalry was supplemented by some foot soldiers who could ride horses, but even the bandit cavalry in Hades Ridge before, their riding skills and combat effectiveness were very average, so the 500 cavalry under Liu Ji still needed a long time of training to become an elite cavalry.

In addition to the 500 war horses ridden by these 500 cavalry, Liu Ji also had more than 30 spare war horses in his hands, and as for the war horses of the generals under Liu Ji, they had not yet been counted.

The mount of Feng Kun, the master of Hades Ridge, has a very large skeleton, amazing load, and fast speed, which is just right for Chen Hao, the general under Liu Ji, and Chen Hao, who is carrying full body armor on this war horse, has no problem at all, so Feng Kun's mount was rewarded to Chen Hao by Liu Ji.

The 500 cavalry are equipped with iron armor and helmets, and each cavalry is also equipped with spears, steel knives and bows and arrows, Liu Ji is ready to train these 500 cavalry according to the model of the archer cavalry, but it also needs to have the ability to assault heavy cavalry, it can be said that Liu Ji has high hopes for his first cavalry unit.

Most of the captured iron armor was equipped with cavalry, so of the 2,000 foot soldiers under Liu Ji's command, only 100 were equipped with iron armor, and 1,500 people were wearing double leather armor, and there were 400 archers, but they were not wearing armor, it was not that Liu Ji did not match the archers with armor, but there were only so many iron armor and leather armor in Liu Ji's hands, and this was still a lot of broken iron armor and leather armor that had been repaired, so Liu Ji could make up 600 iron armor and 1,500 pieces of leather armor.

After seizing the entire cottage in Yama Ridge, Liu Ji also got more than 40 craftsmen in Yama Ridge, most of them were blacksmiths, and some leather workers and carpenters, all of whom were robbed up the mountain by the bandits of Yama Ridge, and were responsible for building weapons, armor and shields for the bandits of Yama Ridge, and now these craftsmen have been compiled by Liu Ji as auxiliaries.

In addition, there are 3 doctors in the Yamawangling cottage, who were also assigned to the auxiliary soldiers by Liu Ji, originally the craftsmen and doctors were robbed up the mountain by bandits, and they were unwilling to follow Liu Ji to the border of Qianzhou, but under Liu Ji's coercion and temptation, they still obediently became the auxiliary soldiers under Liu Ji's command.

In addition to the weapons, armor and shields for the 2,500 soldiers, many weapons were captured, and even after more than 1,200 auxiliaries and 300 female soldiers were equipped, nearly 4,000 weapons remained.

From Yanwangling, Weihu Village and two other bandit cottages, about 2.6 million catties of grain were seized, mainly from the granary of Hadesling, but so much grain, Liu Ji couldn't take it all away, you must know that even if it is equipped with two horses, it can pull more than 2,000 catties at most, and 2.6 million catties need 1,300 such four-wheeled carriages, and Liu Ji does not have so many carriages and horses in his hands.

However, so much grain, Liu Ji was reluctant to give up in vain, so Liu Ji sent someone to contact a big grain merchant in Jue County, Changping County, Yongzhou, and sold 2 million catties of grain to this big grain merchant at a low price of 2 copper coins per catty.

The reason why Liu Ji was willing to sell 2 million catties of grain to this big grain merchant at a very low price was because this big grain merchant was willing to help Liu Ji exchange tens of millions of copper coins and some silver into gold.

This big grain merchant learned that Liu Ji had exterminated Yanwangling, the largest bandit cottage in the mountainous area on the border between Yongzhou and Wanzhou, and was willing to make friends with Liu Ji, a young lieutenant, so he personally came to Yanwangling, and in addition to the 1,000 taels of gold for the purchase of grain, he also helped Liu Ji exchange 14,000 taels of gold.

In this way, in addition to more than 43,000 taels of gold, Liu Ji only had 250,000 taels of silver left, and he could save a lot of carriages when transporting.

The big grain merchant also promised Liu Ji that if Liu Ji could gain a foothold in Chengyin County, Ji'an County, Qianzhou, in the future, then Liu Ji could contact him once he needed food and other supplies.

Sold 2 million catties of grain, the remaining 600,000 catties, also filled with 300 four-wheeled carriages, plus four-wheeled carriages loaded with gold, silver, weapons and other materials, Liu Ji's team only two horses of four-wheeled carriages more than 400, the carriages seized in the four cottages were used, in addition to more than 300 horses, so that Liu Ji handed over to Lin Xiya and Lin Xiwen led by the female soldiers, once in the march, the female soldiers' physical strength is not enough, can ride the horses.

These more than 400 four-wheeled carriages, plus Liu Ji's soldiers, auxiliaries and female soldiers, the marching procession was discharged for several miles.

And the generals under Liu Ji have a few more faces, including the original Yama Ridge's ninth master Zhang Shuo and ten masters Yang Hongtao, these two bandit leaders whose force value has reached the third-rate generals.

As for Feng Kun, the great leader of Hades Ridge who was captured by Hua Xiong and several people, he was not among those faces.

In fact, after Feng Kun was captured, he took the initiative to ask to take refuge with Liu Ji, but Liu Ji learned a little about what Feng Kun had done before, so he decided to give up Feng Kun, a first-class general.

Feng Kun has been a bandit for many years, and his heart is ruthless, especially likes to destroy and torture women, what makes Liu Ji even more unbearable is that Feng Kun also likes to eat people's hearts and livers.

Therefore, although Feng Kun's force value has reached the level of a first-class general, Liu Ji is not ready to accept a person like him under his command.

What's more, don't look at Feng Kun's sworn allegiance to Liu Ji, but Liu Ji did not receive a hint from the system that Feng Kun was sincerely loyal, such a person stayed by his side, and it would be a disaster if he didn't get it right.
