Due to the large number of supplies along the way, it was only in the evening that the group arrived at Anshan Post Fort. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoI saw that this fort stands on the Anshan River in the east, and is located in the east and west Anshan, and both sides are less than a mile away from the mountain. In the north, there are thousands of mountains in the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain as a barrier, and in the south is the vast Liaohe Plain.

In order to defend the key points here, the city wall is as thick as two zhang and three feet, and is about three zhang and three feet high, because the east and west cities are built according to the mountain cliffs, so this city only sets up two gates in the northeast and southwest. Li Rumei had been waiting in the fort for a long time, and when she saw Ziren coming, she immediately ordered thousands of households to Mao Dechun to hit the northeast gate accordingly.

After entering the city, in order to celebrate today's victory in the first battle, Ziren, Li Rumei, and Li Dana unanimously agreed to distribute all the silver taels obtained to the soldiers of the whole army. Cloth was distributed as a reward to those who had made meritorious contributions to the battle. All the cattle and sheep were slaughtered to reward the three armies, and only the horses and grain were divided equally and kept for military use. After this battle, most of the soldiers were unscathed, and they did not have meat to eat after receiving the reward, but they were all smiling, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted.

At this time, Mao Dechun also brought people to find dozens of jars of rice wine, and said politely: "Several generals have won today, swept away the black-hearted tigers, and this group of strongmen has removed a harm for my Liaodong Town. Saying this, he paused deliberately, glanced at Ziren, and said with a smile: "Big nephew, we haven't seen each other for many years, so we have to have a good drink tonight." ”

"I'm worried about having meat and no wine, Mao Qianhu came at the right time, Ziren and Da take it, let's have a drink tonight." Li Rumei's heart was very happy after seeing the wine, and she agreed with a spring breeze on her face.

Seeing Li Rumei speak, Ziren was embarrassed to thin Young Master Li's face. Fortunately, these privately brewed rice wine is not very vigorous, and drinking a little less will not delay tomorrow's military affairs.

After a cup exchange, Ziren saw a few signs on Mao Dechun's face, and asked: "Mao Qianhu, I will call you Uncle with Wenlong and his brothers, since they are all members of their own family, just say it directly." "Ziren, it's really okay for uncles to invite everyone to have a drink," Mao Dechun said with a smile.

"That's because I'm too careful." Ziren muttered in a low voice, then turned his gaze to Li Rumei, and said: "Brother Rumei, among my Ming military exploits, the northern Mengnu is the leader, the Northeast Jurchen is second, the Western Fan Miao is again, and the inland anti-thieves are the last. The heads of these bandits captured this time are too inadequate, and some people inevitably say that we should kill the good and take the risk, or we will all throw them into the river. ”

"Big nephew, don't throw it, don't throw it!" Without waiting for Li Rumei to reply, Mao Dechun immediately became anxious, "Young Master Li, Ziren, you two young men are brave, and I am full of Tartar slaves outside the border wall of Liaodong, so this military merit is naturally not taken into account." But I'm old, and under the rule, there are people who resist taxes and make trouble, and there are no decent meritorious deeds Hao Xun has to remove me. ”

"Uncle Mao, you can get it if you say no." Ziren said this angrily. Then he called Zhou Daqi and asked him to give Mao Dechun all the more than 50 heads he had won today. Li Rumei also felt that these heads were not any military exploits, so for Ziren's sake, she ordered them all to be taken out.

"Eldest nephew, Young Master Li, Mao has thanked me here." exchanged more than a dozen jars of rice wine for hundreds of heads, and Mao Dechun couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Uncle, don't patronize politely, where are those few private mines that don't look at each other, what are the people and the shape of the land?" Ziren focused on military affairs and turned the conversation to the main topic.

"There are four private mines that resist taxes this time, all of which are located on the big lonely mountain about 20 miles east of this place. There are no less than 1,000 coerced miners and thugs protecting the mine, and there are many homemade guns in the mine, so you should be very careful, big nephew. Mao Dechun said with a serious face.

"This group of local chickens and dogs, see how Young Master Ben cleans them up tomorrow." When Li Rumei heard Mao Dechun say this, her heart for victory suddenly rose, and she patted the table and said: "Ziren, Dana, you wait to go back tonight to recuperate, and I will send troops to attack tomorrow morning, so that they can see the benefits and disadvantages of my pacesetter camp." ”

"Brother Mei, this thief is naturally not the opponent of my pacesetter battalion. However, in my opinion, this time it is a small matter to go out to kill the enemy, but it is a big matter to make money, and now there is a great way to make money in front of us. Ziren said with a smile on his face.

Li Rumei scratched her head when she heard this, and asked with a puzzled expression: "I don't understand what Ziren said, how can the bandits still make money." "Don't hide it from you, the black-hearted tiger kid has confessed, the ore produced by these private mines is of good quality, and the profit is more than 10,000 taels every year. Instead of leaving it to the thief slave, how about taking it away, and the profits will be shared by you, me, Dana and Uncle Mao? Ziren thought about it carefully, and the mining involved a lot of money, and he couldn't eat it alone, so he came up with this strategy to make money through partnership.

"Young master, Ziren is right, occupy these mines, and when the brothers are old, they will be able to make a living." Li Dana had long seen Ziren's forcible seizure, and when he heard that there was such a big way to make money, he said with a light in his eyes.

"Okay, just do as you say! If I have money, I can recruit troops and buy horses on my own, so that my father always says that I am not as good as my eldest brother and second brother. Li Rumei is the fifth son in the family, and she is inevitably compared with Li Rusong and Li Rubai, two brothers, and agreed with a smile on her face when she saw the opportunity to be self-reliant.

Later, after some discussion, several people decided that Li Rumei and Ziren each accounted for 30% of the money obtained from the mining, Li Da got 20%, Mao got 10% of the spring equinox, and the remaining 10% was ready to share the profits to Hao Jie. After dividing the pie, we began to discuss how to proceed.

Listening to Mao Dechun, these mines are not far apart, but there is a dangerous pass at the foot of Dagu Mountain, which is the only way to enter the mountain. On that day, the tax collector sent by Hao Jie was beaten out without even entering the mountain, and if the other party gathered troops here, it would inevitably be killed and wounded if they wanted to attack it.

Fortunately, Ziren had been prepared for this, and the two Furlong cannons he brought with him had a range of about 150 paces when firing from the back, and it should not be a problem to blast open this pass. Li Rumei and Li Dana have seen the benefits and disadvantages of these two artillery fires, and they are full of confidence in tomorrow's battle. After Mao Dechun got the benefits, he was ready to take his subordinates to fight tomorrow.

As soon as everyone finished discussing, they heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then saw Liu Guangqiang pushing the door in, looking at Ziren with a complicated expression and saying: "Ding Shouming, our family Ruliu suddenly lost his appetite, and he was nauseous, it must be your kid's fault, go!" Come and see with me. ”

Hearing Liu Guangqiang say this, Li Rumei and Li Dana immediately looked at Ziren with disgust, as if Ziren had the word 'despicable' engraved on his head.
