Zhang Chu returned to Fugu with the team victoriously, and the soldiers and civilians of Fugu were jubilant.

In order to boost morale, Zhang Chu ordered the cavalry to march into the city, and the prisoners were escorted and walked in the middle of the procession entering the city.

The people of the city took the initiative to take to the streets to welcome the return of the security forces, just like a grand festival.

This victory has a special significance for the security army, the last time they fought with the official army was a long time ago, and many people do not have an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the security army.

Although Zhang Chu implemented many policies that were beneficial to the people in his sphere of influence, everyone was still not at ease, fearing that when the official army would fight, the poor people would be counterattacked again, and everything they had would be lost.

This victory proved to the world the strength of the security forces, which can not only give benefits to the poor people, but also protect these interests, and how can the people not be happy. It is people who want their happy life to last for a long time.

The officers and prisoners walked on the street, being ridiculed and abused by the people, and their expressions were numb and unreflected.

Most of the officers and soldiers were poor military families, who lived at the bottom of society, and their situation was worse than that of ordinary people.

In recent years, the deduction of military salaries by officers has become even more severe, making it difficult for soldiers to survive, because they have long lost their honor as soldiers, and the only thing they care about in their hearts is how to survive if they have food to eat. Winning or losing doesn't matter to them. I heard that the security army has no habit of killing prisoners, and it is better if you can join the security army.

The news of the victory of the security army was quickly spread everywhere, which greatly boosted the morale of the security army, and some landlords and former officials who had other ideas became honest.

The news was also transmitted to Hequ County, and Wang Jiayin couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the news: "Hong Chengchou, aren't you ruthless, this time you met someone more ruthless than you!" It's okay to provoke Zhang Chu's declining god, isn't it asking for hardship. After saying that, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic with Hong Chengchou.

At the same time, he also recognized what Wei Xue said to him: "Zhang Chu only recognizes money, and nothing else." "The security forces treat all the forces that stand in their way equally, and they are unceremoniously attacked. What's even more terrifying is that the security army is really tough, no matter who fights, they win every time. It's okay not to provoke them.

Zhang Chu disabled Hong Chengchou's team, relieving Wang Jiayin a lot of pressure, and now is a great opportunity to develop and grow. Zhang Chu can't afford to provoke it, and there is still a lot of room for development from the meanders of the river to the east into the hinterland of Shanxi. Wang Jiayin decided to take the opportunity to develop the team, and it was not too late to find Zhang Chu for revenge when he was strong.

Wei Xue was called in front of Wang Jiayin.

"Zhang Chugang won the battle, and his arrogance is arrogant, do you think he will still do business with us?" Regarding Zhang Chu's temper, Wang Jiayin is still not sure.

"This is no problem, as long as there is silver, Zhang Chu's business will always continue. But we don't have much money. "Wei Xue is convinced of Zhang Chu's wealth obsessive attributes." The money is not a problem, I will take out some of it, and then find other rebels from all walks of life to make up a little, and promise them to take down the county seat and assign them the area with a lot of oil and water. Wang Jiayin decided not to let go of the opportunity to strengthen himself no matter what. After getting the weapon, you can equip enough teams to attack the county town in the north of Shanxi, so that you can have more materials to feed so many people, and Hequ is not a place where you can stay for a long time.

Wang Jiayin's prestige is still very high, and the leaders of the rebel army also know that Hong Chengchou has been defeated, and it is a good time to attack the official army, and the money will not be spent. They all took out their own money and handed it to Wang Jiayin to use to buy weapons in a unified manner. After a few days, I really scraped together a lot of silver.

Wei Xue, who was entrusted with a lot of trust, came to Zhang Chu again.

The two sides were not in a state of hostility, and it was much easier to meet.

Zhang Chu warmly received Wei Xue as if he were an old friend.

Zhang Chu's enthusiasm made Wei Xue very uncomfortable, and Scrooge must have taken a fancy to the silver on you when he smiled at you.

Zhang Chu saw Wei Xue's unnaturalness, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, don't be nervous, I'm happy to have won the battle, you are my old acquaintance, you should be enthusiastic, and besides, I'm not a bad person, do you say it." "Yes, yes." Wei Xue responded casually, and he didn't know if he was saying that Zhang Chu was right, or that Zhang Chu was a bad person. "My brother must have brought money, that's right, seize the time to develop yourself, and then see who doesn't like it and then clean up whom. I have a lot of good things, Hong Chengchou sent me a large number of weapons and armor, it depends on whether you have enough silver. Zhang Chu still couldn't leave the business in three sentences, and began to sell the weapons in his hands. We have the silver, but the old weapons are a little cheaper. "Wei Xue has also entered the state." No problem, I'll give you a 10% discount this time, and I hope you can make good use of these weapons and get the silver to trade with me. I also have a large number of excellent weapons produced by the security forces to sell to you. Zhang Chu was rarely generous and took the initiative to reduce the price.

Then Zhang Chu ordered the guards to go out and bring in two long knives, and continued to Wei Xue while playing: "These two long knives, one is the standard weapon of the official army, and the other is produced by our security army, what do you think is the difference between them?" “

Although Wei Xue was a literati, he had been fighting in the rebel army for several years, and he was still very clear about the quality of weapons, and he looked at it and said: "The production of the security army is much better. “

Zhang Chu ordered the guards to take a knife and take one for himself, and the two of them swung their knives at the same time and slashed together, only listening to the sound of gold and iron intersecting, the knife in Zhang Chu's hand was immediately broken.

Wei Xue took the long knife handed over by the guard and looked at it carefully, and it was indeed a long knife produced by the security army that was intact, and there was no trace of collapse on the blade. "It's a good knife." Wei Xue said with sincere admiration. "I still have many more such weapons, and if you win this time, I will sell you such weapons." Zhang Chu began to pitch for the next deal. "These weapons are good, we need them, but can you sell us some artillery and gunpowder?" Wei Xue was deeply impressed by the power of the security army's artillery, and the rebel army did lack the ability to attack fortifications, although there were many people, but there was nothing they could do about some strong cities, and the real rich people were hiding in the cities, and sometimes even a landlord's Zhuangbao rebel army could not break through with human lives, so he took advantage of Zhang Chu's happiness and put forward new requirements. "Not this time, the cannon is too expensive, you don't have enough money, next time, if you have money, I will sell it to you." Zhang Chu still thinks about the problem from the point of view of money.

These words left room for the next transaction, and Wei Xue was also satisfied.

Zhang Chu called a staff officer to discuss the details of the transaction with Wei Xue.

Two days later, Wei Xue left the silver and returned to Hequ with his weapons.

Zhang Chu looked at the background of Wei Xue's departure and was very happy: "You guys go to war." It's time for me to enjoy, my girls should be in Fugu soon. (To be continued.) )
