Chapter 448: Embarrassed Frontier Soldier (1)
As long as the Erren Zhuoer Lake is in hand, a large number of herdsmen who dry salt and frozen nitrate, as well as guards, can be eliminated, to a certain extent, the influence of sheep does not belong to the trading company, even if the herdsmen do not cooperate, at least for a short time, the salt lake is not worried about no work.
Of course, the premise is to hold the left and right flags of Sunit tightly in your hands, and you must not be slack, and at the same time, you have to face other Mongolian tribes, and even Liaodong Houjin covets, there will be no less things and troubles, and the burden will not be light.
"No way!" Thinking of this, Zhou Chengyun stood up, "Xiaozhi, you arrange people, I want to get out of the jam as soon as possible and go to Eren Zhuoer Lake to have a look." ”
He didn't expect Zhiwen to be able to discover the salt lake, he didn't bring relevant personnel at all, the salt season has passed, and what he needs to see now is whether Zhuoer Lake can produce miscanthus like Jinnan Salt Lake, this matter belongs to him.
"You are sitting in Zhuolu Mountain, and the production and sale of sweaters and wool cloth this year is please, Xiaozhi." Zhou Chengyun said that the sales of sweaters have been opened in the south, and it doesn't matter much if he has him or not.
In fact, Zhou Chengyun wants to dominate the affairs outside the Saiwai, there are deeper reasons, although after listening to Zhiwen's persuasion, he feels that the strategy is right, but he still wants to do it himself to rest assured, he always feels that Zhiwen has good intentions towards Mengren, for fear that this kid will not be able to control this tiger outside the Saiwai.
Zhou Chengyun wanted to go into battle himself, not only to manage this tiger, but also to let it be used for himself.
......
Hao Qing took out the last few copper plates on his body, threw them on the baked cake stand, and took a baked cake and left.
Seeing that the money given by this person was not enough, the owner of the baked cake shop was about to make a sound, but saw Hao Qing take off the robe covered outside, revealing the battle jacket inside, his lips squirmed up and down twice, and finally he didn't speak, silently picked up a few copper plates, and gave up.
These soldiers, who have not been paid for several months, have been robbed, and it is rare for this person to give a few copper plates.
Coming to the north gate of Laiyuan Fort, Hao Qing nodded to Luo Da, said hello, and then sat on the ground, only to nibble a few bites of baked cakes, his head was little by little, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, so he fell asleep deeply.
"Bang!" Hao Qing, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly kicked heavily in his thigh, and even got up from the ground in shock, and he didn't care about half of the baked cake that rolled to the ground, and put on a defensive posture in a daze, "Who?" Who's kicking Lao Tzu? ”
"I'm kicking you, what's the matter?" Zou Qun was talking in his mouth, but his feet were not idle, and while Hao Qing was not paying attention, he had another kick, right in the middle and lower abdomen, and Hao Qing suddenly became a rolling gourd.
Rolling on the ground a few times, Hao Qing got up with a dirty face, and didn't care about the mud on his body, so he cautiously ran in front of Zou Qun, and smiled with a sneer, "It turned out to be Zou Tou'er, good kick, I'm dozing off for a while." ”
"Well deserved!" Luo Da gloated and scolded on the side, "I knew that it was my turn to guard the north gate of the far fort today, but I stayed in the gambling house all night last night, and I didn't beat you or anyone." ”
Zou Qun's eyelids raised, and he glanced at the baked cakes that were already covered with dust and obviously couldn't be eaten, "Yo, Hao Qing, when did you start eating things like baked cakes that can't be on the table, I remember that when you came out of the gambling house, didn't you always nibble on roast chicken?" ”
"Zou Tou'er, then you still need to ask, you must have lost the clean and slippery, this baked cake, maybe it was robbed." The other soldiers next to him laughed loudly, and there was a cheerful atmosphere near the city gate.
"Where?" Hao Qing raised his eyebrows angrily, and then muttered in a low voice, "I have money." ”
"How much was given? Penny or penny? Several soldiers did not let him go and continued to mock.
Hao Qing raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, to be honest, he really couldn't remember how much money he gave, and then he became angry, turned his head and yelled at the soldiers, "Labor and management had food and drink last night, and it's worth starving to death today, what about a few of you, how many days can you drink mush?" ”
After that, he burped an extra-long wine as if showing off, and in an instant, a strong smell of wine filled the soldiers.
The soldiers who were still giggling just now were choked by Hao Qing's words, and no one returned the mouth, and the scene of the commotion was suddenly eerily quiet.
"Smack!" Hao Qing was kicked on the thigh again, "Ouch, Zou Tou'er, why are you beating me again?" Hao Qing asked a little aggrieved.
"It's you bastard." Zou Qun didn't seem to be about to give up, he stepped forward angrily, and he was about to fight, so frightened that Hao Qing dodged left and right, and drilled straight into the crowd.
Seeing this, Zou Qun didn't bother to continue chasing, so he only scolded with his halberd, "Do you think everyone is like you, and the whole family is not hungry when one person eats enough?" Who doesn't have a family to raise, Luo Da is younger than you, there is the same old mother and little brother waiting for his food, you thief, it's just a matter of showing off and drinking, and ask everyone if the food is enough to eat for a few days, isn't this sprinkling salt on the wound? Don't hit who you hit. ”
Hao Qing then understood the reason why Zou Qun beat him just now, and thought that he was indeed a little excessive, and then made a group of gestures, "Brothers, I owe it, I owe it, and I owe it, so I will accompany everyone." ”
"Forget it." Luo Da came out to play a round, "What kind of virtue are you, you have been brothers for many years, and you don't know, you have no intentions, you will go to the gambling house less in the future, and drink less wine." ”
"What Brother Roda said is, thank you for being a brother." Hao Qing replied with a hippie smile.
Luo Da ignored him, and turned to Zou Qun and said, "Zou Tou'er, when will the salary be paid, it's been several months, is there any hope?" ”
"There's a hope." Zou Qun spat on the ground fiercely, "Even if it is sent down and peeled layer by layer, there will be no more left in our hands." ”
He also has a small family to support, and when he sees that the family's money and food are about to run out, he is also angry.
"Zou Tou'er, or..."There was a soldier next to him with a fierce glint in his eyes, "... Wait a while, no matter which caravan comes out, let's slaughter it fiercely? ”
"Are you crazy?" Luo Da jumped out to object, "Not to mention that we are a sentry, even if it is full, there are only forty-eight people, and it may not be the opponent of the guards of the big caravan, even if they swallow this breath this time, we will not be able to eat and walk around in the future." ”
The soldier was speechless by Luo Da's words, how could he not know that such big merchants as the Fan family were domineering and domineering in Zhangjiakou, so he had to scold angrily in his mouth, "I don't know what these adults above think, the food is not paid, and even the small and medium-sized caravans are not allowed to leave the customs, isn't this going to starve us to death?" ”
"What do you think?" Zou Qun was also angry, "How can they care about the life and death of our small soldiers, these people have a part in the major trading companies, and small and medium-sized caravans are not allowed to go out of the customs to trade, and the biggest benefit is not a big merchant like the Fan family." ”
