Chapter 218: A good one to follow the local customs

Half a month later, Jiao Yuanbo, the governor of Shanxi, received a gift list from Wang Tengjin.

It is most common for officialdom to usher in the send-off, Jiao Yuanbo did not refuse Wang Teng's filial piety, but when he saw the amount, he was still a little surprised: "Three thousand taels of silver, this Wang Teng is such a big arm!" ”

The confidant master hesitated a little, "Master, this silver ......"

Three thousand taels of silver is only three hundred catties, in order to keep Jiao Yuanbo's reputation, Guang Lingjun was sent to the governor's yamen in the name of delivering food.

Hearing this, Jiao Yuanbo had no worries at all, "Take it, it's Wang Teng's intention, I heard that he built an iron factory in Guangling, and he is making gold every day, and this silver is only a drop in the bucket for him!" ”

The master shook his head repeatedly, "What the master said is very true, it is the hot season now, and it is reasonable for Wang Teng to send Bing Jing, rest assured, I will definitely deal with the beginning and the end."

Jiao Yuanbo was noncommittal, on the surface, he didn't have much feeling for three thousand taels of silver, but in fact, there were huge waves in his heart.

In the past, it was not that no one gave gifts, but the gift money was only a few hundred taels, and few people were as generous as Wang Teng.

There is a way to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, Jiao Yuanbo is a real person, and he has a good impression of Wang Teng, so he began to think about how to repay the favor.

The opportunity soon came, and within a few days, the governor's yamen received a document from Wang Teng requesting an increase of 2,000 troops.

Guangling's recruitment of troops is something that Lu Xiangsheng encourages, and Jiao Yuanbo naturally will not be embarrassed, so he quickly made a favor, "Yes, send the horse to the Guyuan Governor's Mansion quickly!" ”

"Order!"

With the governor's orders, the little colonel hurried to Guyuan.

The scribe of the governor's palace also received Wang Teng's benefits, and when he saw the recruitment documents, he passed Lu Xiangsheng as quickly as possible.

Lu Xiangsheng wished that Wang Teng would train more soldiers and horses, so naturally he would not obstruct it, and in this way, Wang Teng's recruitment documents were unhindered in a very short period of time.

In less than half a month, Wang Teng received an approval to prepare for recruitment, which was almost extremely rare in the Ming bureaucracy.

You must know that recruiting soldiers is a big deal, under normal circumstances, there will be no follow-up in three or five months, but Wang Teng's document only took half a month to get a reply, what does this mean?

It shows that Wang Teng's silver is not in vain!

Some time ago, Wang Teng spent 6,000 taels of silver to bribe the governor's yamen and the governor's yamen all over the place.

Silver is just metal in the cellar, and it can be of great use when it is given away!

Facts have proved that Wang Teng's silver bullet offensive is very effective, whether it is the governor's yamen or the governor's yamen, they all think that Wang Teng is knowledgeable and interesting, and he is a person who can be friends!

The big celebrity in front of Lu Xiangsheng is rare to come to things, such a person wants to do something, who will obstruct it if he doesn't open his eyes!

After getting the approval, Wang Teng began another round of recruitment.

The 2,000-strong soldiers must be replenished at least 1,200 to be fully staffed.

In the Battle of Huyukou, Zhou Yuji's cavalry suffered serious losses, but they proved the importance of cavalry with their own achievements, and Wang Teng decided to expand the number of cavalry to 300 people!

As for the Yellow Tiger's pikemen and Tong's gunslingers, Wang Teng decided to expand the army by 400 people each, and the remaining 100 people were added to the Yellow Tiger army.

For a long time, Huanghu Town has guarded Dinghe Fort, and there is no merit and hard work, so Wang Teng naturally can't favor one over the other.

There are already three hundred people in Dinghe Fort, and with this newly added one hundred people, even if Jiannu attacks the fort again, Huang Hu will have the power to protect himself!

In this way, once the replenishment is completed, Wang Teng will have an army of 2,000 men, of which the number of musketeers has reached 800, the cavalry army has also reached 300, and the rest are pikemen and sword and shield soldiers.

It has been proven that when facing a cavalry charge, the sword and shield men and pikemen who form a formation can effectively block the enemy.

No matter what era it is, the coordination of the arms is extremely important, and the kind of person who wants to be invincible in the world by relying only on a single branch of the army is undoubtedly a fool's dream, at least, Wang Teng scoffed.

In the era of cold weapons, there is a way of playing in the era of cold weapons, and the cavalry, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers can exist for so long, so naturally there is a reason for existence, and Wang Teng does not feel the need to eliminate them.

The whereabouts of the source of soldiers are there, and the six thousand taels of Anjia silver are not a problem, that is, the documents of the imperial court agreeing to recruit soldiers have been issued, and everything is ready!

The only problem with the shortcomings is the cavalry!

The matter of the foot soldiers is easy to say, the news of Guangling's recruitment of soldiers came, the Shitishan military village was overcrowded, and there were young men everywhere, and it was the easiest thing to select nine hundred people from among them, but the selection of the cavalry was a little difficult.

After all, Guangling is not a border stopper, and the people here lived by planting in the era, and few people were able to ride and shoot on horseback.

How can this be?

When Wang Tengzheng was a little at a loss, an unexpected person came to his mansion.

"Wuyunzhu, why are you here?"

After placing the Chahar people at the foot of Shiti Mountain, Wang Teng and Wuyunzhu hadn't seen each other for some days.

After all, it was a woman who had shared the same bed, and when he saw her, Wang Teng even felt a little guilty.

Wuyunzhu glared at Wang Teng, "What? Can't I come? ”

Wang Teng naturally didn't want to argue, "I can come, of course I can come, I'm just worried about your people, are they missing something?" Whether it's money or money, as long as you open your mouth, I will do my best! ”

Wuyunzhu frowned, "The clansmen don't lack anything, and you are very thoughtful, but it doesn't seem to be the day we want."

Wang Teng was a little puzzled, "What day do you want?" ”

"The Chahar people are fierce and invincible jackals on the grassland, and they will remain wild even if they are injured, but life here is too comfortable, if it continues like this, I think the Chahar people will soon become like you Han Chinese."

Wang Teng wanted to complain, "Did the Han people recruit you and provoke you?" ”

What's wrong with becoming a farming nation?

Wuyunzhu has always been straightforward, and after noticing Wang Teng's poor face, she hurriedly changed the subject: "I heard that you are going to recruit soldiers?" ”

This is something that can't be hidden, Wang Teng didn't deny it, "Yes, the imperial court has approved it, and this time I want to recruit 1,200 soldiers."

Dark Cloud Bead's eyes lit up, "Will you recruit horsemen?" ”

Wang Teng bowed slightly, "Yes, I am already a garrison in Ulzhou, and if I don't have a cavalry army in my hand, it will be difficult to cover everything."

Dark Cloud Bead puffed up her towering chest, "What do you think of us?" ”

Wang Teng was a little surprised, the Chahar people couldn't be idle so soon?

In Wang Teng's conception, it would take at least a few months for the Chahars to automatically ask for help, and now it seems that he has underestimated the Chahars.

However, this kind of thing must not be easily promised, thinking of this, Wang Teng refused: "No."

Wuyunzhu was a little anxious, "What?" Aren't we Chahars good cavalry? ”

How dare Wang Teng deny it, "No, you are born warriors."

Wuyunzhu felt incredulous, "Then why don't you accept us?" ”

Wang Teng was a little embarrassed, "Wuyunzhu, this is what I promised you, in Huyukou, I promised to bring your people to a stable place, now, what your people need most is to recuperate."

Wuyunzhu was a little sullen, "Uncle said that a comfortable day will polish the edges and corners of the warriors, and if the Chahar people want revenge, they must go into battle and fight."

Wang Teng shook his head, "There are only more than 1,000 people left in your clan, of which there are only 600 young and strong, no, I can't let them go on an adventure."

Wuyunzhu was deeply moved, and Wang Teng was so considerate of her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

If Wang Teng seems impatient, Wuyunzhu will feel disappointed!

The Chahars have nothing left except for six hundred young men, and if they encounter any more ill-intentioned people, I am afraid that the entire group will soon disappear completely!

The current Wang Teng's reluctance to recruit Chahar people into the army is enough to prove that he has no plans against Chahar people!

The more this is the case, the more Wuyunzhu feels that joining Wang Teng's team is the right choice, "Wild wolves can only hunt enemies on the grassland, if they are kept in captivity, after a long time, they will become grass dogs that guard the yard, Wang Teng, this is the decision of our people, they are willing to fight side by side with you."

The heaviest hero on the grassland, in the past days, Wang Teng's image of Lian Zhan Lianjie was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even the Chahar people had heard of it.

The fertile grassland has been occupied by the Jurchens, and if the Chahar people want to drive away the Jurchens, they can only rely on the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Teng is just the most suitable candidate.

Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Chahar people have made a decision, so it is good to save him a headache for the soldiers of the cavalry, "Wuyunzhu, you have to think clearly, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and if you join me, you must obey the military order, do you understand?" ”

Wuyunzhu shook his head heavily, "I understand, I will obey the order."

Wang Teng thought he had misheard, "What did you say?" ”

Wuyunzhu repeated, "What's wrong? I will obey the military orders and will never embarrass you."

Wang Teng's face became ugly, "You also want to enlist in the army?" ”

Wuyunzhu's eyes widened, "What? Is there something inappropriate? ”

Wang Teng couldn't stand it anymore, "It's just too inappropriate, the cavalry camp is full of men, what is it for you to mix in with a woman."

Wuyunzhu frowned, "What's wrong with the woman?" Can't a woman go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

Wang Teng said: "I can't care about other women, and I don't want to care, but, Wuyunzhu, you are my woman, I will never let you go on an adventure."

Wuyunzhu was ashamed and annoyed, "You guy, many of my people can't even speak Chinese, if I'm not there, who will be the interpreter?" ”

Wang Teng stared at the eyes of the dark cloud beads and said word by word: "The war is handed over to the man!" Wuyunzhu, let me think of a way, if you want your people to join my army, you must promise me that you must not enlist! ”

Wuyunzhu didn't give up, she took Wang Teng's arm and put it on her bulging chest, "I know, in the eyes of you Han people, women should be husbands and children at home, but I am from Chahar, I don't know how to work as a woman, I can't cook, I can't farm, I can only ride horses and shoot arrows, if you don't let me go into battle, what else can I do?" ”

Wang Teng snorted coldly, he stopped the dark cloud bead domineeringly, and said in his mouth: "You can still accompany me!" ”

Before the words fell, Wang Teng's big hands swam quickly.

In less than a moment, the dark cloud beads were gone, and she wanted to refuse to welcome back, "It's daytime!" ”

Wang Teng disagreed, "What's wrong with the day?" Who dares to come in can't do it! ”

Wuyunzhu pointed to the wooden door, "Close the door, close the door!" ”

Wang Teng kicked the door shut, and the loud sound of "boom" came far away, and the surrounding guards wanted to come over to check, but they were stopped by the leader, "Princess Wuyun is inside!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized that they immediately stayed away, for fear of causing Wang Teng's dissatisfaction.

Inside the house, Wang Teng, who was undisturbed, was getting hotter and hotter.

How fortunate is it for such a tall beauty to surrender in front of her eyes?

Wang Teng's fighting spirit was immediately high, he raised his spear and stabbed it fiercely.

Guns came and went, and I didn't know that after thousands of rounds of fighting, in the end, the warring sides paid a terrible price.

After a fierce battle, Wuyunzhu softened, "My chief, can you grant my request to go on the expedition now?" ”

Wang Teng twisted the red cherry and refused, "No, you are the princess of the Chahar people, not the prince of Chahar, you have done enough things, and then, you just need to stay in the camp honestly."

The dark cloud bead flicked Wang Teng's protrusion, and said angrily: "Feed the white-eyed wolf who is not familiar, you still refuse to let go after all this, what a bastard."

Wang Teng grinned: "Even if it's a bastard, it's also a bastard you like."

The dark clouds can't let out their grievances, and can only vent their depression through their hands.

The special parts were quickly rubbed, and Wang Teng quickly rekindled his fighting spirit, "Demon, look at the gun!" ”

It's another hearty battle.

After the clouds and rain stopped, the dark cloud beads didn't even want to move a finger, Wang Teng also panted, but the man's unique pride made him refuse to admit defeat, "How, do you dare to fight?" ”

Wuyunzhu is not a hard-working lady, she is the princess of the Chahar people!

"Can you still fight?"

Wang Teng was annoyed and angry, "It's you who can't make it, right?" ”

"Hard-mouthed guy, okay, I'll just listen to you"

Wang Teng was surprised, he didn't expect the dark cloud bead to soften, this is too unexpected, right?

"Really listen to me?"

Wuyunzhu shook his head repeatedly, "Well, don't you Han people pay attention to husbands and women?" If I want to marry you, I will naturally follow the customs of the locals."

Wang Teng was overjoyed, he kissed Wuyunzhu fiercely, "What a local custom, Wuyunzhu, I want to marry you!" ”

Wuyunzhu was a little excited, but after a while, she shook her head, "I'm just a down-and-out princess, not worthy of you."

Wang Teng was annoyed, "Nonsense, you and I are talented and beautiful, it is really a match made in heaven, who dares to say that you are not worthy of me!" ”

Wuyunzhu smiled and kissed Wang Teng, "If you have this thought, I didn't see the wrong person, but let's talk about this marriage in the future." (To be continued.) )
