Chapter 69 Transactions

On the battlefield, the killing of wounded and captured enemy soldiers soon came to an end. Most of the Red Turban soldiers were honest farmers before the uprising. The hatred for the Argentine cavalry is also due to the fact that he once witnessed his own robe fall under the chain hammer like a rainstorm. However, as the enemy soldiers who did not dare to resist were stabbed to death one after another, the anger in their hearts melted as quickly as snow in the gutter in late spring, and in the blink of an eye, the tolerant instinct of the Chinese people took the upper hand again.

Before Xu Hongsan stepped forward to give the order, someone decisively inserted the sword back into the sheath. Then they picked up their own robes from the bloodstained ground, and helped the latter to a slightly clean place high up on the hillside, helping each other to treat their wounds.

For those who escaped, the uninjured captives were carried together, painted as a prison, and ordered them to treat themselves.

The officers and soldiers who had already been frightened did not have the slightest bit of their previous arrogance at this moment. Let the lottery trumpet be raised, and let the dead body be carried on the back, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, only promised. Occasionally, three or two people who tried to resist were firmly pressed to the ground by their own people, punched and kicked.

Seeing that the captive had become like this, Xu Hongsanyue felt that his heart was not good. After staggering between the corpses of the enemy and his own people, he turned around again and walked over to the position of his commander.

Before and after, it was only a small half-pillar of incense, and Zhu Bayi was already surrounded by a large number of soldiers. The men set up the iron pot, boiled boiling water with salt, and then carefully cooled it, dipped it in a clean cloth, and cleaned the wounds of the Governor.

The salt water was smeared into the wound, and the pain made Zhu Eighty-one's eyes dark. But he had to grit his teeth and endure it. In this era without any antibiotics, concentrated brine is almost the only means of sterilization. If the wound is infected, he will have to cross it again!

Finally, after the wound was cleaned, the soldiers took out another bottle of green ointment. He put the tip of the knife on the fire and roasted it for a while, picked up the ointment, and dripped the oil into the wound.

"Ahh At this time, Zhu Eighty-one couldn't stand it at all. Legs all the way, spring-like jumping high. Seeing this, Xu Hongsan hurriedly ran forward with several other personal soldiers and hugged Lord Du Governor firmly, "My lord, bear with me, just a few drops, just a few drops, just a few drops, just drop it." You're all skin wounds, you don't need too much ointment! ”

"Uh-huh!" Zhu Bayi was so pained that beads of sweat rolled on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth in response. At this moment, Wu Liangmou ran over quickly, and took out a fist-sized porcelain bottle from his waist, "Dudu!" Use this! ”

"This" took the initiative to approach the other party for the first time, and the young man's face was very unnatural. Without waiting for everyone to ask, he pointed to a shallow wound on the back of his hand, and added incoherently, "Jin Yu is still broken powder, which is a secret of our Wu family." Stop bleeding, remove gangrene, and poison, the best for knife wounds! I've just wiped it myself a little, and I hope Lord Dudu won't dislike it! ”

The last sentence of the explanation is purely to prove that he is not malicious. When Zhu Bayi heard this, he smiled and nodded. He picked the stopper of the porcelain jar with a dagger that had just been burned with gunpowder, dipped some of the powder from the jar, and lightly sprinkled it on another wound that had just been washed with salt water.

Compared with the ointment prepared by the Red Turban Army itself, the effect of the medicinal powder is unexpectedly good. Almost as soon as it is sprinkled on the wound, the flow of blood quickly slows down and then gradually stops.

There was a spicy feeling that replaced the pain, which made Zhu Bayi couldn't help frowning slightly. "This, this thing works! Do you still have any? Take out some more and anoint them on the wounded brethren! ”

"This-?" Wu Liangmou's smile immediately froze on his face, and he didn't know how to answer. Esoteric is called Esoteric because of its limited range of use and the difficulty of obtaining materials. If it can be used by any person and can be manufactured on a large scale, it will be no different from the ordinary gold creation medicine in the army, what will the Wu family use to bequeathed to their descendants in the future?!

"No, forget it if you don't!" Zhu Eighty-one is a human being and very responsive. Now Wu Liangmou's face was wrong, he smiled again, and took the initiative to withdraw his previous request.

He is a casual man who never wants to push his own people. But the other Red Turban soldiers around were unhappy, and they hugged their shoulders and looked at Wu Liangmou one by one, as if the other party was an accomplice of the Tartars.

It was not easy for Wu Liangmou to establish his glorious image by risking his life to attack the Dalu Hua Chi He of the Azuo Army, how could he be willing to be excluded by everyone again? Gritting his teeth, he said stubbornly: "It's not nothing!" The medicinal materials needed for this thing are not common, and it is difficult to collect them. Therefore, the last general's family only has a small part of the reserves. If the governor needs it, he can send someone home to get it! ”

"So?!" Zhu Bayi sniffled, barely able to distinguish the faint taste of seafood from the medicinal powder. For the Inner 6 regions of this era, it is true that medicinal materials are not easy to get. "Well, it's not far from your house anyway. You send someone back to tell Old Master Wu that I will buy this Jinchuang medicine from him. With, with"

looked around, except for the copper ingots that had just been moved from Wujiazhuang, he now had nothing to hold on to. After hesitating again and again, he suddenly lowered his voice and discussed with Wu Liangmou, "Why don't you go back in person and ask him the old man, I will take a prisoner and a lottery number, is he willing?" These guys were escorted back to Xuzhou by me, and they probably refused to work honestly to atone for their crimes. Simply, let your father unite with several other farmers in the vicinity, buy them back, and then resell them to the Tartar court. For the sake of long-term planning for the future, I think that even if the court presents you with me in the future, I will choose to turn a blind eye! ”

"Ahh This mention was indeed too forward, so frightened that Wu Liangmou took a few steps back one after another, and almost didn't sit on the ground. However, after all, he is a top person with a belly full of books, although he obviously lacks experience, his mind turns far faster than ordinary people. Soon, he understood that Zhu Eighty-one's mention was beneficial to the Wu family. Immediately, while wiping his sweat, he agreed incoherently: "Medicine powder, medicine powder I still have some in my luggage, I, send someone to get it immediately." Others, others, the last general, the last general, this is going back to discuss with the family. Please, please the Governor, the Governor lends the last general a war horse. Then, then wait for the good news of the end! ”

"Okay, I'll lend you five horses. You take the four Zhuang Ding back together, so as not to meet the people who have left a single child on the way! Zhu Eighty-one nodded and happily agreed.

The captured soldiers were exchanged for gold and jade that could save the lives of the brothers. In his opinion, there is no place for loss in this transaction. Moreover, after the transaction was completed, the relationship between the Xuzhou army and the local tyrants along the Yellow River with the Wu family as the one became closer. It is no longer a simple coercion and submission, but can communicate with each other! Even slowly reached, passing on messages to each other, supporting each other, and finally losing both losses, one prosperity, and sharing weal and woe.

Of course, the last one is still purely a fantasy for the current Xuzhou Army. Those castle owners and village owners on both sides of the Yellow River, even those who are as active as Wu Youcai, only dare to secretly send one or two children to join the Xuzhou Army at the moment, in order to play a role in preparedness. In fact, there is no one who is really optimistic about the future of the Red Turban Army

But things are always man-made. This trip to the north shore made Zhu Eighty-one faintly feel that the current image of the Red Turban Army is not very positive in the minds of ordinary people. Especially in the minds of the local gentry, they were regarded as the same kind of bandits. Although after the occupation of Xuzhou, Sesame Li became more and more strict with the brothers, except for the first few days, most of the rest of the time, it can be described as Qiu Wuwu.

However, the gentry were willing to pay taxes to the Northern Yuan court, and let them give the Red Turban Army a little support in terms of money and food, so they pushed back. The national righteousness in the eyes of Zhu Dapeng in later generations does not seem to have the slightest concept in their hearts at this moment. Although Pei County, which was slaughtered by the Northern Yuan Dynasty officers and soldiers, was close at hand, the policies of the Northern Yuan court that discriminated against the Han people were clearly written on paper.

If you can't get the support of the other party in your beliefs, you will retreat to the inducement. Witnessing the posterity of the Internet shouting this lord and that righteousness every day, in fact, the soul of the business behind the scenes is not simply taken for granted. Compared with most people in this era, Zhu Eighty-one can definitely be the most flexible, and know how to think about problems from the other side's perspective. In order to get a stable source of copper and iron, he could not hesitate to promise the owner of Wu Zhuang to install his son in his army, and he could not hesitate to help smash the gate and city wall of Wujiazhuang. Of course, we can also do more, and regard these castle owners, village owners, and local tyrants and inferior gentry on both sides of the Yellow River as their business partners. Bargain with them individually, one thing at a time.

This pragmatic move quickly received a positive response from the other party. At about no.m., the Red Turban Army had just taken the prisoners to bury the last corpse on the battlefield, and Wu Liangmou rushed back with a large number of unfamiliar faces and five carriages. He stopped the wagon full of goods at a distance, and stood respectfully under the sun, waiting for the Lord to receive him.

"Governor. The nearby Liu family, Han family, Li family, and Sun family all sent housekeepers over. There is also the deputy scoop handle of the boat gang on the canal, and Chang Sanshi Chang's deputy gang leader also came. They all want to meet you! Afraid that the brothers would be too careful, Wu Liangmou trotted to Zhu Eighty-one and reported loudly, "Not long after the last general arrived home, they all rushed to the last general's house. The last general didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he brought them all over! ”

"Then let them go up the mountain together!" Zhu Eighty-one was very surprised by the keen sense of smell of the local tyrants and inferior gentry in this era, frowned, and told with a smile.

"Xie Dudu!" Wu Liangmou thanked everyone and immediately trotted down the mountain to invite someone. After a while, he led five middle-aged men up. "This is the governor of my family, everyone hurry up and give a salute!"

"I don't know that the Governor Tiger is coming, the grass people are not welcome, capital crime, capital crime!" Six middle-aged men who looked quite shrewd knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed lightly to Zhu Bayi.

"All right, let's all get up and speak. There was blood all over the floor, and it was hard to wash off on your clothes! "Anyway, he has been the governor of the left army for more than seven months, and if he insists on pretending, Zhu Eighty-one can still put on a few official stands, sit on the chair temporarily stacked with grenade boxes, wave his hand, and signal with a smile.

"Xie Dudu!" The five men kowtowed again as if they had been rehearsed in advance, and stood up at the same time. Then he said in unison: "In order to show their awe, the grass people have prepared a small gift."

Even if they didn't say it, Zhu Eighty-one could guess that the carriage was loaded with gifts, smiled and waved his hand, and interrupted in a low voice, "Then I will be ashamed." You're welcome, I'm a person who likes to go straight, if there's anything that can help you, please feel free to say it! ”

"This-?" Everyone was very unaccustomed to Zhu Eighty-one's way of speaking straight to the point, and they all inquired about Wu Liangmou with their eyes. Seeing that the latter was also at a loss, they had to look at each other, and then elected the oldest man, and said on behalf of everyone: "Our Han family, the Liu family, the Li family, the Sun family, and the Wu family, where the young master Wu is located, are grateful for the virtue of the governor's good life, and are willing, willing to buy for the appearance of the government, buy this batch, this batch of prisoners!" But "

"Well, what's the difficulty, just say! Let's talk about it! Zhu Eighty-one waved his hand very considerately and hurriedly said.

"Then, thank you Dudu!" The eldest housekeeper of the Han Mansion blushed slightly, hesitated again and again, and added in a whisper, "Governor, Governor's kindness, the grass people all understand. But the grass people, the grass people are not the government after all. It's okay to give some money and food for the government, but people, people don't dare to take back their own Zhuangzi! ”

"Huh?!" Zhu Bayi didn't understand what the other party meant, frowned, and asked with a smile, "Then what do you mean?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Steward Han wiped his sweat with his sleeves and bowed down again and again, "The grass people don't dare to make conditions with the governor, the grass people just hope that the governor will raise the captives for a few days." After the grass people returned, they immediately informed the governor of his goodwill to the Feng County government on the other side of the canal. They, they knew that the grass people were willing to give this money and grain for the imperial court, and they were sure that they would definitely send someone over to discuss with the governor about receiving prisoners! ”

"So complicated?" Zhu Bayi frowned again, a little worried about the risk of staying on the north bank of the Yellow River for a long time. In the big battle just now, although the Red Turban Army won the final victory. However, their own losses were also very heavy, with more than 400 people killed and seriously wounded alone. There are also more than 300 lightly wounded color numbers, and if the enemy army attacks again, it is impossible to go to the battlefield immediately.

"Don't worry!" Liu Er, the representative of the Liu Mansion, pushed away Steward Han and added loudly, "There is a manor nearby, which belongs to our name. The brothers were able to go in and rest immediately. No matter how many days you stay here, the food and grass will be shared by several of us. The wound medicine that the lottery numbers need, as well as Lang Zhong, who treats the lottery numbers, are also sent by several of us! ”

"Recently, the imperial court has been busy fighting Liu Futong near Bianliang, and there are no soldiers and horses in this vicinity who can offend Duhu Wei. If there is, we will also report to the governor in advance, please be careful! The housekeeper of the Sun Mansion was unwilling to live behind others, so he also stepped forward and added loudly.

"That's it!" Zhu Bayi was stunned again, and was moved by the enthusiasm of the villagers, "In this way, won't the government trouble you in the future?" ”

"Thank you Dudu!" Steward Han glared at Liu Er, arched his hand and responded, "Before the governor defeats Ah Jun, there will indeed be some trouble!" Now that the Argentine army has been defeated by you, we can pay for it ourselves, and persuade you to stop and not attack the county seat of Fengxian in one go. The officials are too late to thank me, so how can they have other thoughts?! ”

ps: The reward for the monthly flower delivery activity has been completed, and everyone who has not received it has gone to the small window of the group to knock on the blood reward. In the future, we still need everyone to continue to vote for flowers, help and recommend book friends who haven't read it, and update more alcoholics in return.
