Chapter Seventy-Three: Eye-Catching Supplies

Zhang Feng had already tasted the sweetness of the war, the first time he destroyed 1,000 enemies, and captured 200,000 or 300,000 taels of silver, and the second time he was even more refreshed, destroying more than 12,000 enemies, not to mention the weapons and armor captured, and the seized property was also more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Zhang Feng, who tasted the sweetness, was very moved when he learned that there was a large amount of property looted by the Manchu Tartars in Langfang City.

Zhang Feng knew that the war of the Manchu invasion would end sooner or later, and after the war was over, Zhang Feng would definitely return to Songjiang Mansion to vigorously develop, and the funds needed in the future would be an astronomical amount, and Zhang Feng needed money, silver, a lot of silver.

Zhang Fengda said with interest: "Is the situation true? ”

Guan Peng affirmed: "It's absolutely true, although I don't know the specific value of this batch of materials, but it is estimated that it is worth two or three million taels of silver." ”

Two or three million taels of silver!

Suddenly, Zhang Feng's mood was irrepressibly slightly excited, and he had already decided in his heart that this batch of materials must be obtained, and he must not let the Manchu Qing Dynasty bring them back to Guanwai, so Zhang Feng asked: "Guan Peng, the Manchu Qing Right Wing Army has left Langfang, how many Tartars are stationed in Langfang?" ”

Guan Peng said: "According to the information we have, the number of Manchu Tartars stationed in Langfang is definitely less than 10,000, most of them are Mongolian Tartars, and the number of Manchu Tartars is estimated to be only one or two thousand. ”

With less than 10,000 tartars, Zhang Feng's mind was completely active.

Guan Peng observed his words and looks, and saw that Zhang Feng was very moved, and asked tentatively: "Lord General Soldier, do you seem to have obtained this batch of materials?" ”

Zhang Feng didn't hide it, nodded and said: "This batch of materials, we must not let the Tartars take them back to Guanwai, we must take them back, Guan Peng, the first task of your intelligence team is to keep an eye on this batch of materials, find out the specific situation, and report to me every day." ”

"Yes!"

Guan Peng stood up and answered loudly!

Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead, keep an eye on this batch of materials for me, and if possible, try to find out the situation as much as possible." ”

Watching Guan Peng turn around and leave, Zhang Feng fell into deep thought.

At present, Zhang Feng has not much ammunition in his hands, which is not enough to support a big war, with only 20,000 or 30,000 rounds of paper shell ammunition and even fewer grenades, only 1 or 2,000 left.

Lack of ammunition is one thing, on the other hand, Zhang Feng knew that he had too few people, there were only 2,000 people, two or three hundred people left in Songjiang Mansion, and only more than 1,700 people brought by himself, after several major battles, about 1,500 people who could fight now, even if they were equipped with flintlock muskets, it was not wise to attack the Tartars with a strong city to defend.

Zhang Feng frowned slightly, walking around, thinking, measuring, and thinking of countermeasures......

………

It was not only Zhang Feng who was staring at that batch of supplies, but also Guan Ningjun.

In the big tent of Gao Qiqian of the Guanning Military Supervision Army, Gao Qiqian showed joy on his face and asked loudly: "Is the news true?" ”

The little eunuch who reported bowed down and said: "Father-in-law, the news is true, all the materials looted by the Tartar right wing army are placed in Langfang City, and the number of Tartars left behind is only about eight thousand, and most of them are Mongolian Tartars. ”

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian said happily: "God help me, this batch of materials is mine, I must take the batch of materials." ”

Love money is a common problem of eunuchs, Gao Qiqian is no exception, after learning that there are two or three million taels of silver worth of Tartars left in Langfang City, Gao Qi is tempted.

Zhao Guangcai, who was next to him, observed his words and took the initiative to say: "Godfather, let me take the lead this time, I will definitely break through Langfang City." ”

Gao Qiqian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, start early tomorrow morning, and our large army will follow, and this time we must take Langfang City." ”

Being able to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses, Zhao Guangcai was inexplicably excited, and immediately said loudly: "Thank you, godfather, I will definitely not disappoint my godfather." ”

Tens of thousands of Guanning troops were not very far from Langfang, at noon the next day, the vanguard of 5,000 men and horses arrived in Langfang City, followed by tens of thousands of Guanning army main force to follow, it is estimated that by the evening will arrive near Langfang one after another.

Tens of thousands of Guanning soldiers came to the city, and they also carried siege weapons, and the Tartars stationed in Langfang City sent out a distress signal while starting to defend the city.

………

Zhang Feng naturally got the news, since the main force of the Guanning Army began to appear outside Langfang City, the intelligence team sent back the news, and Zhang Feng, who got the news, was slightly anxious.

Now, Wang Chaoyong naturally knew that Zhang Feng wanted to recapture the batch of property looted by the Tartars in Langfang City, and Wang Chaoyong was also worried, "Chief soldier, this matter is not easy to do, tens of thousands of Guanning troops have come to Langfang City, and Langfang City has been surrounded, and Langfang City is only afraid that it will go down day and night." ”

It's not just a bad thing, it's just very bad, to the point of being very serious.

Zhang Feng said slowly: "If Langfang City is broken, and this batch of property is in the hands of Guan Ningjun, there will basically be nothing to do." ”

Wang Chaoyong nodded and said worriedly: "Chief soldier, in the current situation, we can only watch the Guanning army attack the city, and we have no way." ”

If the ammunition was sufficient, Zhang Feng would have led his men and horses towards the Langfang area, and when the ammunition was insufficient, he had to temporarily stick to the Tianjin Acropolis.

Zhang Feng estimated in his heart that it would take about three days for his ship to arrive at Tianjin Port, as long as the ship arrived, the ammunition also arrived.

With steam-powered cargo ships, it was natural to rely on these ships for transportation and supplies, and some supplies and goods could be transported from Tianjin Port back to Shanghai Port through steam-powered cargo ships, and similarly, Zhang Feng needed ammunition supplies from Shanghai Port to Tianjin Port.

Because there is no effective means of communication, Zhang Feng can only estimate that if it goes well, it will take about three days for the cargo ship to transport the ammunition supply, and before the ammunition arrives, he can only wait, and there is no other way.

Wang Chaoyong said unwillingly: "Chief soldier, can we just watch the Guan Ning army break through Langfang City, and watch the old eunuch Gao Qiqian take that batch of property,"

Needless to say, if Guan Ningjun seized that batch of property, that batch of property worth two or three million would definitely become high-potential private property.

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said: "In the current situation, we can only stand still and wait patiently, but we can't wait, we have to use the time of the past few days to do something." ”

Wang Chaoyong said: "Chief soldier, as long as that batch of property does not fall into the hands of the eunuch Gao Qiqian, what you want to do, you can do it." ”

"Okay." Zhang Feng nodded and said: "The first thing, you go and do a good job of mobilization, mobilize the more than 2,000 young people to fight with us, of course, if you are unwilling, we will not force it, send five taels of silver, and let them go back." ”

Wang Chaoyong said loudly: "Okay, I'll do the mobilization myself." ”

Zhang Feng continued: "In addition, prepare enough ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and enough people. ”

Wan Chaoyong seemed to realize something, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he said loudly: "Chief soldier, do you want to use these carriages and ox carts to transport that batch of property from Langfang City to Tianjin Wei?" Chief soldier, you are sure to take Langfang City! ”

Seeing Wang Chaoyong looking at himself with bright eyes, Zhang Feng looked in the direction of Langfang City, and said slowly: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and maybe a miracle will happen." ”
