Chapter 440: Pingyao, Fenzhou, Shanxi
In June, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, was appointed as the chief soldier of Datong, and led 9,000 soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction to go out of the west of the city. ** Thousands of years to provide reading
It is said that the Yellow River, to the north bank, is the territory under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it should be a strong help to Chen Yongfu and other righteous troops who abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
In fact, the Henan Prefecture on the north bank of the Yellow River has been deeply hated by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the Inspector Hou Sui led the army to be stationed for a period of time, although this evil act is not as vicious as Zuo Liangyu's ferocity that day, but the place is still miserable, and finally Hou Inspector led a large team of soldiers and horses to Shaanxi to recruit border soldiers, everyone took a breath, but this Chen Yongfu came to join in the fun, and it was not good to defect to the Duke of Qi.
As a result, he stopped in Weihui Mansion for ten days, and if it weren't for some merchants who had gotten into the eyes of money to follow the army, the salaries and supplies of the more than 9,000 Yu soldiers would have been unevenly prepared.
The people on the north bank of the Yellow River were amazed, thinking that Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, had been an official for so many years, and he had really accumulated a large amount of gold and silver, and he was able to spend his own money to pay for military salaries and buy grain, and his brain was really burned out.
There was no city in Weihui Mansion for Chen Yongfu to station, and the people in the city were all like facing the enemy, and they resolutely did not allow Henan soldiers and horses to enter the city, and the army led by the governor Hou Sui was also treated similarly.
Since there was no city in Weihui Mansion that was willing to open to these 9,000 Yu soldiers, Chen Yongfu, who originally planned to enter Shanxi in the north of Zhangde Mansion, changed his mind in a fit of anger and simply went westward.
At present, the people of Henan are amazed that the merchants of Shandong really dare to make any money, and a large number of fleets take Kaifeng City as a transit, following the more than 9,000 Yu soldiers to advance and support the food supply. Some people are also strange, thinking that these businessmen are doing such nonsense. That Duke of Qi even dared to kill the King of Zhou, and he wouldn't clean up you businessmen who ate outside the house.
Then people up and down Henan knew that the industry and commerce in Shandong were quite prosperous, and Qi Guogong did not interfere much except for collecting taxes from these merchants and factories, and sent people to protect raw materials. Open up sales channels for them, and several big cities in Shandong are now some of the richest places in the world.
Some wealthy businessmen in Kaifeng City are quite excited. It doesn't make much sense to hold the gold and silver nest in a lonely city like Kaifeng City, it is better to try your luck in the land of Shandong Lianghuai, even if you don't have luck, it is good to be a rich man in that prosperous and open place.
Kaifeng has been isolated for nearly a year, and the city can still be supported, but the small cities outside the city and other states and counties are already like hell, and the vast majority of people are struggling to survive.
Now King Zhou is dead. The prefectures and counties around Kaifeng have almost become white land. Such a private field in the king's house. A large number of unclaimed lands have been left vacant.
These lands are all in the hands of Shandong. Henan's political envoy Si Yamen and Kaifeng Mansion issued a large number of land deed documents. A vast area of land has been established. Those who are hungry for survival have been recruited. Large quantities of grain were transported from Yanzhou, from Lianghuai, and from Guide.
For is not the loss of freedom. Is it the status of semi-serfs in the future. If you want to starve to death, no one will pay attention. It's a blessing to have a bite to eat.
He controlled the vast part of Henan and Hu, and the soldiers and horses of Dashun did not have much strength to collect the displaced people. The regular exile army itself has also carried out military cantonment. But in the areas under their control, the displaced people can no longer be cared for. Take care of other places. It's beyond my reach.
And Henan is a vast area. The hungry people in Kaifeng Prefecture. If you want to run to other state capitals, you will almost starve to death. Kaifeng City is surrounded by the establishment of Tuntian Grange. A large number of displaced people were recruited.
Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, and Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, saw the work outside the city. It's jaw-dropping. It's almost January. So many displaced people. So many fields. Shandong Xun brought rations, seeds, and farm tools. There are also a large number of tuntian management personnel who have come over.
When the Tuntian Grange was first set up around Kaifeng City, because he was worried that the displaced people would take the opportunity to enter the city, the governor Li Xianfeng also discussed with Yuan Shizhong, a guerrilla in Guide, whether the time for opening the city gate should be shortened, because a large number of hungry people would inevitably take the opportunity to rush into the city to seek food, and the army of displaced people besieged this Kaifeng City without defeating, if these hungry people were allowed to succeed, wouldn't it be a joke.
Yuan Shizhong was not too sure about the Shandong system, he went to inquire with the head of the Tuntian Tianzhuang outside the city, and after discussion, Yuan Shizhong did not agree to the proposal to shorten the opening of the city gate, but asked that everything be as usual, and the regular army of the Jiaozhou battalion of 6,000 people in three regiments was enough to quell any chaos.
Seeing that the large farms were rapidly being built outside the city, the hungry people, who had previously been thought to be the source of the turmoil, were toiling in the fields like obedient lambs, and large quantities of supplies were unloaded from the ships and sent to these farms by various means.
Li Xianfeng is also a knowledgeable official, he knows how much time it takes to let the officials of the Ming Dynasty do these things, not to mention the usual money, but this relocation division, I am afraid that there will be no results in a year, and the abundant materials on the river are even more incredible, and the Jiangbei land in Shandong and Nanzhili is indeed under Li Meng's control, but these fields are cultivated by the same farmers, why can so many materials be accumulated.
How efficient it must be, how much power it takes, and when these granges are established, it is almost possible to meet them, and their power will swell and grow with them.
If it is said that before the construction of Tuntian Tianzhuang, the officials in Kaifeng City, from Li Xianfeng to ordinary officials, still had doubts about Shandong, but now these doubts have disappeared.
The most convincing thing is that before the construction of the Tuntian Grange, there have always been officials and officials in Kaifeng City who crossed the river by boat with their families, went to the north bank, or moved to other places not controlled by Li Meng.
In mid-July, more than 9,000 soldiers and horses led by Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Datong, arrived in the area of Shaanzhou, and it seemed that they were going to enter Shanxi from Shaanzhou and Ping6.
The news of how Chen Zongbing was similar had already spread to Shanxi, and he was originally a candidate for Datong General Bing. But Jiang Xiang, the newcomer Taiyuan general soldier who was taken the position by Chen Yongfu, pointed out very bitterly that the goal of this Datong general soldier was to enter the Jin Dynasty in Zhangde Mansion. The journey was much shorter.
If you take Maojindu over there in Shaanzhou and Heping 6, you can take the line of Pingyang Mansion that is quite rich, and pass through Quwo, Linfen, Huozhou and other rich places along the way.
And Fenzhou, which is known as the richest in Shanxi, can also pass by, and the rich businessmen there have always been generous to the army. It's another oil and water.
Henan Mansion is close to the Shanxi side, because the homeless army and the official army have fought here in a tug-of-war, and the north of Henan Mansion is almost a white land. Dashun nominally controls this area, but in fact he does not invest much power in this area, and basically uses it as a buffer.
The original Henan general soldier Chen Yongfu led more than 9,000 soldiers and horses into here, it was simply a joke, not to mention that Chen Yongfu was a general of the defeated army, what role could these more than 9,000 soldiers and horses play in front of nearly a million Shun troops, it was not enough to stuff the teeth.
However, the more than 9,000 troops led by Chen Yongfu were the first army to dare to enter the territory controlled by the Shun army during this period.
The general of the Shun army in charge here can be regarded as a partial division, and the leader of the troops is not the mighty general of the regular army of the Shun army, but a side line that was later attached. The title is called the old master. That's a lot to say.
The regularized Shunjun has enjoyed all the benefits of regularization. There are also all kinds of ills of regularization, and the old master leads his troops to investigate the situation. But he didn't talk about it with the generals at his superiors, because the Dashun Army is also reorganizing and retraining. Many of the soldiers and horses on the sidelines, and even Luo Rucai's sub-troops were broken up and reorganized for a reason.
The old master was afraid that he had made something wrong and was caught by the above, resulting in being laid off and withdrawn to his home to farm, and he decided in his heart that if he was meritorious, then he would report it for reward, and if it was reactive, then he would suppress this matter and not let the above know.
Of course, this old master is still quite confident in eating an officer and army with the same strength, otherwise he would not lead his troops to go, and the two sides met on the side of Gushui.
Chen Yongfu, the new commander of Datong, saw this chasing army chasing after him, but he did not make any other moves except for letting his subordinates line up on guard, but only sent his cavalry envoy to the front of this Shun army, and said in a rather polite tone:
"These 9,000 Yu soldiers, they just want to go to Shanxi to defend safely, they don't want to fight more in Henan, why should everyone damage the harmony here, it's better to get out of the way, everyone's wife is peaceful, and now in troubled times, it's not so easy to survive, just have fewer swords!"
If you don't show weakness, maybe the old boss will release a way, but this wants to make peace, but the old boss thinks that the other party is timid, maybe he can go and get some cheap, eat this soldier and horse in one bite, and capture and kill the opponent's general soldiers, which is also a great achievement.
Perhaps because of this merit, he could be a mighty general in the regular army of the Shun army, and immediately ignore the kind pleas of the other envoy and order the troops to line up and go to war.
On both sides of the valley, it is already close to the vicinity of the Kuoshan Mountain, and the terrain is not so flat, and the two sides cannot open too wide formations to fight in the field.
The three big masters of the Shun army led 3,000 people to rush in front, according to the idea of the Shun army, these 3,000 people rushed to the front, almost more than 9,000 Yu soldiers should be crushed, who would have thought that after rushing into a distance of hundreds of steps, the other party actually quickly set up the artillery, and simply the cannon bombarded.
According to the convention, it is impossible to set up artillery so quickly and bombard it, and the 3,000-strong stormtrooping troops of the Shun army were completely taken by surprise.
The three big masters who rushed to the front were killed two immediately, the leader died, and the soldiers behind lost their backbone, and they were suddenly scattered, who would have thought that the other party's artillery was shooting fast, and before they could react, the second round of artillery bombarded again.
This time, the 3,000 people were completely dispersed, and more than 3,000 soldiers of the Shun army ran towards the rear team in a noisy, so that the formation was directly rushed into a mess.
The old master didn't care about any merits at this time, and hurriedly led the troops to retreat, if the formation was disrupted, the other party took advantage of the situation to kill, I am afraid that the entire army will be dispersed, let the other party cover up.
But these more than 9,000 Yu soldiers did not do anything superfluous. It only forced back this Shun army and continued to march towards Shanxi.
If it is the Shun army led by those cronies and generals under Li Zicheng. The two shellings would not have caused that much damage, because the formation would have become very scattered.
In the same way, the casualties caused by these two rounds of artillery bombardment were not enough to stop the pace of the charge, because the so-called Li Zicheng's troops also had a very firm will to fight, but the size of the troops was large. This uneven phenomenon will inevitably appear, and the old master who got it this time led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but it was a new army that had only been gathered for about two years in Nanyang Mansion. That is, a group of peasants with weapons, who have no will to fight at all.
By the time the Dishun army in the rear learned the news and began to move towards the north of Henan Province, Chen Yongfu and his soldiers had already crossed Maojindu and entered Shanxi.
Since it is not in the control area of the Shun army, Dashun is also integrating the forces in the control area at present, and he will not go to Shanxi to pursue, or care too much about the movements of this strange army.
So no one noticed at all that the 9,000 Yu soldiers led by Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Henan, had much more powerful artillery. With the artillery skills of the Ming Dynasty. When it is time to fire a cannon, a pit must be dug and filled in first. The bulky artillery had to be unloaded from the box car and fixed with wooden pegs.
How could it be so fast. When the enemy charged, he was already ready to open fire. And it can also cause that kind of killing effect.
"Shandong firearms, Jingli is so good, no wonder it will win all battles."
Entering the territory of Shanxi, when camping and resting at the border of Wenxi County, the chief soldier Chen Yongfu came to the Shandong Soldiers and Horses Camp where he was camped alone, stroked the artillery and sighed.
Chen Yongfu, the new commander-in-chief of Datong, is familiar with more than 9,000 people and is the head snake of Henan, and many actions of Shandong soldiers and horses in Henan are needed for them, and similarly, there is also a regiment of Shandong soldiers and horses to join the 9,000 soldiers and horses.
The establishment of this regiment of Shandong soldiers and horses is different from that of the regular army, and a normal regiment of Shandong soldiers and horses is 400 musketeers and three three-pounder guns.
And this regiment is a thousand guns, six three-pounder guns, Henan General Chen Yongfu has no opinion on accepting these soldiers and horses, but he thinks that these six guns may affect the degree of marching, this artillery is all rough benzene things, inconvenient to carry, but I didn't expect that these guns in the Jiaozhou battalion with artillery carriage artillery trucks, the action is no different from the big car, and even faster.
When the time comes, it is a first-class weapon, and the artillery can set up the artillery with very quick movements, bombard the enemy, and be very accurate.
In the Ming army, artillery is mostly used for siege or defense, and is rarely used in field battles.
Chen Yongfu came to see the artillery, and the leader of this Shandong unit should also accompany him, and when he heard the laughter of the chief soldier Chen Yongfu, the person accompanying him on the side said in a stiff Chinese official dialect:
"Lord Commander, the reason for victory is the discipline of the army, not the weapon."
These words are quite harsh, Henan General Soldier Chen Yongfu grinned, but he didn't care about the person who said this, he was a new soldier in Shandong, although he led the troops this time under his own command, but the accompanying man was said to be a close confidant of the Duke of Qi, and his status was quite lofty, and a foreigner did not know the etiquette, and there was no need to worry about him.
Aumann from the Duchy of Saxony. Garris is the commander of this regiment, and by now, he has a very full understanding of the military system of the Jiaozhou battalion, knows what position he is in, knows how strong the troops in Shandong are, and what level the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are.
Before coming, according to the introduction of those colleagues in Shandong, the Henan general's military strength is relatively strong in this country, but I can see with my own eyes, that is, a group of slightly stronger farmers, compared to the troops in Shandong, there is no comparison at all, Westerners in Europe believe in blood, this kind of dynasty change in China, a common people can also be called kings and emperors The phenomenon is almost inconceivable for them.
But seeing that the so-called elite soldiers are also like this, even the old-fashioned Auman. Garris also thinks that with Shandong's strength, if he doesn't win the world. That's what God can't tolerate.
Since he looked down on the strength of the other party, this officer of the Saxon mercenary army naturally did not have a good impression and good attitude towards Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan.
Chief soldier Chen Yongfu was dissatisfied. But how could such a person who has been in the officialdom for many years show his emotions on his face and stop the pro-soldiers who want to do it with a stern gaze, Chen Yongfu simply didn't say anything, and looked at the surrounding camp silently.
Because I was not in a hurry, I set up camp very early every day. Although his more than 7,000 soldiers and horses are quite quiet, the low noise can still float from the camp, but in the Shandong Terracotta Camp. Everything was silent, and the soldiers ate quietly with their own dinner.
The number of soldiers sitting around each pile is fixed, and their weapons are also visited according to a certain pattern, Chen Yongfu does not know the details of this style, but he knows that if something happens, this style can pick up arms and fight as quickly as possible.
The surroundings of Wenxi County in Pingyang Prefecture are quite peaceful, and the mountains and rivers in Shanxi are inside, and it is very difficult for the enemy outside to enter, but even in such a peaceful situation. There were still pre-arranged patrol soldiers marching past in solemn formations.
At this time, everyone has the smell of food in their noses. Chen Yongfu knew that since his logistics and military needs were in charge of Shandong. The soldiers were eating happily.
Something may not be a delicacy, but it can be eaten after all. So that every soldier can be fed, Chen Yongfu remembers that he was not besieged to Kaifeng City. It can't be done at all, and it can only be barely done by maintaining one's own family and direct troops. When they were in Kaifeng City, there was an advantage, that is, the king of Zhou and the rich families in the city were willing to spend money to support this army that saved their lives.
It was a very special situation, after the siege of Kaifeng City was lifted, Chen Yongfu knew that the good times of his troops might be over, and in order to maintain this state of every soldier being fed, he had to take refuge in Li Meng, Shandong.
Looking at the patrol soldiers who were slowly approaching, the chief soldier Chen Yongfu noticed that the expressions of the personal guards around him gradually became solemn, these Shandong soldiers and horses were all strong, and everyone looked not inferior to their own elite soldiers, and I heard that it was not Li Meng's personal battalion that came with him this time, but just an ordinary infantry regiment drawn from Xuzhou.
The weapons in the hands of these patrol soldiers are all very well maintained, and there are no rust spots to be seen, and a few soldiers still wear armor, presumably a leader, and such equipment is even more unthinkable for their own army.
At this time, Chen Yongfu was only later replaced by Auman. The anger provoked by Garris's cold words also disappeared, such a military appearance, such training, such equipment, such supplies, such a strong soldier and horse, it is definitely not relying on any weapons.
However, the reason for the strength of such a strong army cannot be just discipline, and if there is no stable rear and abundant supplies, how can this kind of discipline be maintained.
But it doesn't matter if you say this, the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion are strong, this is an ironclad fact, you can be glad that you took the right step and took refuge under the command of Qi Guogong, or more precisely, you and your children are extremely lucky, I don't know what ability I have, I can actually be favored by Qi Guogong, and take the initiative to name and attract subordinates.
It seems that for so many years, I have been low-key, restraining military discipline, training hard, and sure enough, the efforts I have made have paid off well, which is also the reason for luck.
Auman. Garris looked at the patrol soldiers who had just passed by with satisfaction, although they were not good guys of his experimental brigade, they were still very good, showing strength and glory to himself, Shandong, and the Duke in front of the other armies.
After Chen Yongfu was pushed by Garris, he didn't say anything, and looked at the soldiers and camps of this regiment with complicated thoughts, but at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but smile and said:
"I walked with Ou guerrillas all the way, and it wasn't until now that Chen remembered that the child entrusted someone to send a letter, saying that he had performed well and had entered the experimental brigade of the pro-military camp beside Qi Guogong, and the commander of this experimental brigade was Ou guerrilla, the child was stubborn, you have to take care of it more!"
The two of them have been together for almost a month, and Chen Yongfu thought of this trick, which is really a little ridiculous, but this Chen Yongfu was originally quite unfamiliar with the military system in Shandong. Garris is also a character who is not close to people, and the two sides do not deal with much.
Moreover, after Chen De went to Shandong, he first exercised in the infantry regiment directly under the old battalion, and then was selected into the experimental brigade because of his excellent performance. The news was brought in by the fleet that had sent supplies.
This was also separately instructed by the senior management of the Jiaozhou battalion, just to let the expedition go out. Chen Yongfu, who was far away from Henan, was relieved to report Chen De's news to him, making him happy.
Regarding the anecdote about his son's failure to defect to the pro-military camp in Shandong, and also compared with the ordinary soldiers of the pro-military camp, Chen Yongfu already knew when he was in Weihui Mansion, and it turned out that Chen Yongfu thought that he was relying on his son's excellence. It's not a problem to enter the pro-military camp, but it's really amazing to have such a story.
This also let Chen Yongfu know. Shandong's rules are strict, and the pro-military camp is not an ordinary place.
Unexpectedly, today, this Chen Yongfu remembered such a stubble, and Auman's words made both parties a little embarrassed, and they just took this set of almost.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of behavior, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is like this, Chen Yongfu is already a rare and simple character, but the problem of the Ming Dynasty is also like this, among the generals, they understand the interests and disadvantages of officialdom. The warriors of the court battle are the car fights. But if you know how to march and fight, that's rare.
And Shandong's generals are pure soldiers. They just carry out orders, fight. Study the battle and achieve victory. That's all, this is also the Saxon mercenary Auman from North Germany, who will be so easy to integrate into the Shandong army.
Chief soldier Chen Yongfu's almost remarks had the opposite effect again. Garris replied coldly again:
"Lord Commander, if your son can pass the assessment and enter the experimental brigade, it means that he is not stubborn, but a very good young man, I can't agree with your words."
Auman who said this. Garris didn't want to show himself selfless and rigid, in Europe, it was common for the children of incompetent nobles and high-ranking officials to enter the army to obtain prestigious officer positions, and even in the mercenary army, several relatives of the mercenary unit would be treated preferentially, and the world was always unequal.
But Auman. During Garris's time in the experimental brigade of the pro-barracks, there was no such phenomenon in Shandong, every soldier who entered the experimental brigade met the standards and withstood enough assessments, and he was the instructor of the team. Garris was proud of him, and Chen Yongfu's words made Auman think that it was an insult to those outstanding young people.
Being pushed back by such a hard state, the chief soldier Chen Yongfu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, this is to contradict him and not give him face, but it is also to praise his son Chen De, Chen Yongfu thinks about Chen De, there is a sense of pride in his heart, seeing the strength of this battalion, he is more confident in coming to Shanxi, and there is no need to stay here longer, Chen Yongfu said with a smile:
"Since that's the case, then Chen doesn't have to say much, the military salaries and grain in the next few days still need to worry about the European guerrillas, Chen went back to the camp first."
Auman nodded and saluted, and there was no too much politeness, when in Henan, the merchants of Shandong could provide for this army by water transportation, but after entering Shanxi, most of the distance was 6 routes, so it was naturally beyond the reach of the whip.
But all this has been arranged, Auman. Garris carried enough gold and silver, and in Shanxi, the soldiers and horses of the new Datong General Army would be supported to some extent, and there was enough money to buy, but he could not worry about military supplies.
Sent out can be assured, and can take charge of the army, and can command the superior firearms and equipment, it seems to be this Auman. Garris too.
This old-fashioned Saxon mercenary general can indeed lead a force of 2,000 men, far away from Shandong to complete the mission. Garris was older and had been a general of a mercenary group, so it was reassuring to give him gold and silver to prepare for food.
After the 9,000 Yu soldiers entered Shanxi, the Shandong merchants stopped the supply of logistics and military supplies, and it seemed that of course the road between Henan and Shanxi was difficult, and the business of military supplies and grain was unprofitable.
The general army of Datong is a general with the name of the former general of the expedition to the west, and the entire Shanxi ground has to be somewhat polite, in fact, after Wenxi County, there is no need for Ouman. Garris came to spend money to organize food, and the merchants of Fenzhou and Taiyuan began to take the initiative to repay.
Although the general Chen Yongfu said that he would never disturb the people, and all the grain and military supplies were paid according to the original price, these merchants would let Chen Yongfu pay.
Not to mention the full supply of military supplies, and Chen Yongfu himself is also bulging. It's a windfall, and these Jin businessmen sing very high. It is said that the marshal is stationed in my Shanxi place from Henan, but the marshal spends money to buy grain and straw by himself all the way from Henan to Shanxi, which makes the Shanxi gentry feel ashamed and must make up for this gap.
As a result, Chen Yongfu was given more than twice as much money as he spent on the land, and this was only the filial piety of the merchants of Pingyang and Lu'an and Zezhou. I heard that when I heard about Fenzhou and Taiyuan Mansion, a large number of filial piety were sent.
Chen Yongfu was really surprised by these filial piety. When I was in Henan, even when the army of displaced people had not yet reached the whole territory, the people up and down Henan were all evasive to the soldiers, and these soldiers were rampant with viciousness every day, and they ate a large amount of food and pay every day.
When the army of displaced people came, they fled and scattered, even more so on weekdays, buying and selling shops in the city, and paying land taxes outside the city. These benefits are in the hands of civil officials. If you want to have a good return, it is better to send more money to civil officials.
Who cares about this big soldier......
I didn't expect to come to this Shanxi. It's really puzzling that there are such benefits in hand. is also a staff member from the Shandong Salt Gang to help the chief soldier Chen Yongfu solve his doubts.
Zezhou and Lu'an provinces need to trade iron tools abroad, and Binh Duong provinces need to sell salt goods to Shanxi. Salt goods and iron tools want to make a big profit, one is to sell them to the army of displaced people, and the other is to sell them to the grasslands north of Datong, and sell them on the grasslands to those nomads who lack iron and salt, especially for huge profits.
But if you want to sell these things, you must pass through the various checkpoints guarded by the Datong border soldiers, Chen Yongfu is the new Datong commander-in-chief, and he is the general leader in charge of these checkpoints.
As for Fenzhou and Taiyuan Mansion, they are even more places where wealthy merchants gather, and the reason why they became wealthy merchants is because they are engaged in illegal trade in large parcels, and they have a reason to please this general guarding the border passes.
Chen Yongfu, a general, has always had a sense of disgust in his heart for such businessmen who collude with the Tatars, but when he heard the introduction of this staff, he couldn't help but sigh that in the face of the offensive of the wealthy merchants in Shanxi, even if he was a good man cast in copper and iron, under such a financial offensive, he would become a puddle of mud.
The result is really not unexpected, marching from south to north, when he arrived at the boundary of Huozhou, perhaps he heard that the new chief soldier from Henan is very strict in governing the army, the military discipline is very good, and there is a lot of oil and salt that does not enter, but in the current situation, the court is already thankful that there are soldiers to guard Shanxi, and it is impossible to change horses in battle, so it can only be a heavy bet.
In Lingshi County, someone with a few big cars said that they wanted to see the marshal Chen Yongfu, and until now, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Shanxi, was still quite polite to the locality.
Fifty thousand taels of silver, three of Datong's stunning colors, the other party only said that it was a member of the Fenzhou Chamber of Commerce, and only said that these things were a meeting gift for the handsome, and after sending them, he simply left, and did not say anything like a request, clean and neat.
On this night, the lights in Chen Yongfu's military tent were lit in the middle of the night, 50,000 taels of silver, this is just a meeting gift, you can imagine what kind of huge wealth there will be in the future.
Daming fireworks Fengyue, Datong and Yangzhou cultivated women and said, the three women sent this time are already stunning, if this is just the beginning, then what kind of sound and color dogs and horses will be in the future, life in the world, but the picture is the sound of dogs and horses, rich and enjoyable, it seems that this Shanxi land can be satisfied, then what else to ask for.
The hesitation of Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong, was interrupted by the report of a personal soldier, who was considered his close confidant, and came into the tent late at night to report, saying that the 2,000 people led by the foreigner were already resting, but the number of people patrolling the night was more than twice as many as in the past, and the foreigner was wearing armor and never went to bed.
Chen Yongfu just smiled bitterly when he heard this, but the pro-soldier said indignantly, these Shandong soldiers and horses are too blind, and the six artillery pieces adjusted their direction at night, and they actually faced the handsome tent of the big handsome, what does this mean.
After hearing the news, Chen Yongfu finally understood where he should go, he was glorious and rich, and he still had to have his life to enjoy it.
That night, Chen Yongfu sent people to seal the silver in two, and the three women were also sent to a separate military tent, and the next day he let the person who sent them back.
On the third day of the first month of August, the 9,000 Yu soldiers who marched slowly finally arrived at Pingyao County, Fenzhou, which was the headquarters of "Goldman Sachs......
Nine thousand words, very tired, but I want to see how long I can last, cheer for me, thank you, wait for an announcement
