133 The living are not as fragrant as the dead
Dong Ce sighed secretly, it seems that Liu Ruozai has really prepared for this trip for a long time, and he is planning to kill two birds with one stone.
However, the more this is the case, Liu Ruozai goes deep into the fortresses, there are no soldiers in his hands, his waist pole can't be stiffened, and his words don't have much weight, so the more he needs to rely on himself and these people under Xie Dingkun's department. And because of his military exploits and reputation, Liu Ruozai obviously attaches more importance to his own department.
"This time, I can't say that I have to follow to get some benefits, Dafa Lishi, which has a lot of benefits."
Dong Ce glanced at these henchmen around him, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the harvest at this time was already very expensive.
I thought it was already a lot of money, but now it seems that it is still far from enough, and it is just a cushion to die.
At this time, Dong Ce's group can really be described as a windfall.
This time, Dong Ce equipped everyone with two horses, also to speed up the speed, but he didn't expect that it was just convenient to carry things.
At this time, everyone's auxiliary horses were full of things, including mandarin duck battle jackets, cotton armor and iron armor, spears and axes, long knives, bows and arrows, and even spears!
If you don't know, I'm afraid you think these people have just robbed some kind of arsenal.
In fact, it's about the same, although it's not a robbery, but its ferocity is not much worse than a robbery.
―一―本―Read―Novel{y}{b}{d}{u} Dong Ce was ordered by Liu Ruozai to go to the arsenal to get equipment, Liu Ruozai said vaguely, and he didn't say how much he wanted to take, so Dong Ce also climbed up the pole and moved as much as he could! So much so that when Dong Ce and his entourage came out of the arsenal with a large bag, they were so shocked that Zhao Mancang, the ambassador of the arsenal, almost didn't jump up, and his eyes were about to pop out. Jumping to his feet and scolding, he just didn't do it at the moment, and asked Dong Ce to return the things to eighty percent! Dong Ce knew that this was just an opportunity for this guy to ask for some benefits.
After all, the storage of this arsenal, not to mention how many fake accounts he has made, even if it is honest, once the superiors come to check the accounts, they can completely put the responsibility on Dong Ce - anyway, Liu Ruozai asked him to take it, who would dare to pursue it?
Sure enough, after Dong Cesai gave him fifty taels of silver, Zhao Mancang immediately didn't say a word.
This ending, the two of them are very happy. After all, Zhao Mancang, as the ambassador of the warehouse, has no problem blackmailing the officers who came to receive the equipment to make some profits, and he can also make a small fortune, but if he really wants him to resell the materials in the arsenal, he really doesn't have such a big courage! After all, Lord Liu is known for being harsh, and under him, no one dares to be unscrupulous.
For him, fifty taels of silver is already quite a huge income, far from being a small fortune that can be described, and it can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
As for Dong Ce, the materials obtained this time are worth more than a thousand taels of silver, especially those collared iron armor, which are thick and heavy, draped all over the body, and have excellent protection, which cannot be bought with money.
Don't say it's fifty taels, give another fifty taels Dong Ce can do it.
However, the silver in his hand was spent like a stream of water at this time, which also made him feel a little distressed.
The seizures from the horse thieves were not divided, but directly filled into the public middle school, and the jewelry, gold and jade that could not be discounted were not counted, a total of about six hundred taels. plus the two thousand taels allocated by Liu Ruozai, it is two thousand six hundred taels. It cost more than 600 taels to buy cattle, seeds, farm tools, household goods, etc. Invite those craftsmen to settle down and give the craftsmen a home, and give the family a piece of silver, and seven hundred and eighty pieces of money, which is one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Combined with today's bribes, there are only 1,750 taels left!
What is this money?
It costs 10,000 taels of silver to rebuild the city of Rock Fort alone, and now these people under his hands are only spending money and cannot create wealth for the time being.
"I've got money for my idea!" Dong Ce thought secretly in his heart.
Everyone sat on their horses with joy and excitement on their faces, especially Jeruhri. This leader of Dong Ce's family, the real power figure of Panshi Castle, at this time, his expression really matched the three words of nouveau riche.
He originally only wore a leather armor, but later Dong Ce appointed him as the head of the family, so naturally he couldn't be too shabby, so he made up a blue satin copper nail cloth face armor, which was still not as good as the red satin copper nail copper leaf armor, less the iron armor leaf outside, and the weight was also five catties lighter, only eighteen catties.
But now, this guy wears a heavy iron armor, this iron armor is a set of full-body armor, its shape is similar to the Song Dynasty's Buren armor, iron armor leaves are connected with nails, which belongs to the typical armor. This full-body iron armor was thicker and heavier than Dong Ce's iron valve armor, and the nail leaves on the surface were two millimeters thick. Its shape is the same as that of the foot armor, and even the weight is not inferior. You must know that the Buren Armor weighs fifty-eight catties and is made up of 1,825 per nail leaf, and this iron armor weighs more than sixty catties due to the increased thickness of the nail leaf.
You must know that it is 60 catties made in the Ming Dynasty, and one catty in the Ming Dynasty is 594.6 grams.
The iron helmet on his head, the iron armor on his body, and the giant bolt of the city gate in his hand are also like cooked copper mace, and the whole Yelu Lihe has been turned into a steel monster. If it weren't for the Liaodong Heroic Horse under his crotch, he wouldn't be able to walk on the horse.
And this was not enough, next to his saddle, hung two slip pockets. There is a big stride bow in each of the two bow inserts, a Kaiyuan bow - that is, a riding bow - and the two arrow inserts are full of sixty large arrows.
On the auxiliary horse next to him, there was an armor bag, and in the armor bag was also placed a pair of iron armor, plus a spear and a large axe.
"This guy!" Dong Ce saw it, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Just his family matter, I'm afraid he will have to count up to two hundred taels of silver! That is, to be generous to others, if you want to equip him with so many armor weapons, how can you afford it?
Not only Yelu Lihe, but the others were similar, Shi Jin, Wang Hun, Zhou Zhong, and Zhai Qingtong each grabbed a set of iron armor, a spear, a Qi family's army-style long knife, two bows, four insert pockets, and sixty big arrows. Marin's eleven new family members snatched a piece of cotton armor by themselves, and each picked up their favorite weapon and took it, and bows and arrows were naturally indispensable. It's not that they don't want the iron armor, it's just that there are only a few pairs of iron armor in total, and after being robbed by Shi Jin and others, there is only one left--I have to keep it for Dong Ce!
But now these are already making them overjoyed, thinking that when they were horse thieves, they didn't even dare to think about such weapons and armor!
People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, soldiers rely on strong armor, horses like dragons, and there are so many more equipment at this time, it is even more brave and fierce.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a cavalry came over, but it was the current Dong Mansion Ding, whose name was Dong Zhongxian, he came to Dong Ce's horse, hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Master, the three of us were ordered to explore the outpost in front, the outpost is one hundred and thirty zhang away from the Chinese army, and the outpost is one mile away from Hongci Fort at this time, and Hongci Fort garrison Lord Qian has already gone out of the city to greet him!" ”
"Hmm!" Dong Ce nodded, waved his hand, Dong Zhongxian turned around and walked forward.
Dong Ce also rode his horse towards Liu Ruozai's carriage and whispered. When he came back, he glanced at Xie Dingkun lightly, Xie Dingkun's face was a little unsightly, he snorted coldly and turned his head.
As soon as he got out of Zhenhe Fort, Dong Ce released three scouts, who were several miles away, both as guards and forwards, although the number was very small, but it greatly ensured the safety of the team. Liu Ruozai saw that it was clear, and he also praised Dong Ce twice.
Xie Dingkun's experience in the battle formation is not as rich as Dong Ce's, and he is also very angry when he steals the limelight for him.
But it can only be recognized.
When we got closer, we could see that the walls of Hongci Fort were very tall, but they were very dilapidated. About ten zhang away from Dong Ce at the city gate, there was a huge opening, like a broken mark on a waist knife.
On the same day, the slaves entered the Kou, attacked the Hongci Fort, the Hongci Fort wall was high and strong, the guards in the city were not chaotic, the soldiers and the people used their lives, regardless of the old and weak, and went to the city wall to resist the foreign captives. Thousands of Jiannu troops besieged this small fortress for several days and suffered heavy losses. In the end, I listened to the whistleblowers of the officials who took the people of the city to shave their hair and surrender, and only then did I know that the section of the city wall of Hongci Fort had cracks because of the earthquake, so I took advantage of the night to sneak attack, and drove the captured Han people to dig desperately with pickaxes to dig up the bricks outside.
Jiannu killed in this place into the city, the guard will face the east and bow, wear official clothes and hang himself, his wife and concubine four, two children, more than ten slaves, all hanged themselves, there is no surplus beam in the family. Jiannu slaughtered the city because of shame and anger, and there were more than 4,000 soldiers in the city, none of whom were spared, the city walls were congested, and the corpses were everywhere.
The entire Hongci Fort became a dead city.
This shows that in fact, the blood of the Chinese people and the blood of the people of Daming have not been lost, but because of the hardships of life, they have been buried in the deepest part of their hearts.
These bloody natures need to be stimulated.
Chinese people can work hard and dare to work hard, and what they lack is just a leader.
In the national dynasty, the one who can take the lead is nothing more than the official squire. In this official-based country, officials, governments, and courts have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter how much people hate it, at critical moments, they still unconsciously rely on it, trust it, listen to its command, and attach themselves to it.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, many cities were led by officials and gentry to surrender first, so the people did not resist and surrendered. And like Jiangyin, the officials and gentry took the lead and did not surrender, so the people fought to the death.
Under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan and others, the city was raised without surrender and bravely resisted the enemy. As long as 81 days before and after, in this battle, hundreds of thousands of Jiangyin people faced 240,000 Qing army iron cavalry, more than 200 red-clothed cannons, bloody battles in the lonely city, relying on the not tall and thick Jiangyin City, for 81 days. The Qing army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and then the city was broken, the city was slaughtered, no one surrendered, more than 97,000 people died in the city, and more than 75,000 people died outside the city.
In the season of Ming, Shilin has no shame. Those who occupy high positions and enjoy heavy names are proud of begging with masks; And the marshals of the feudal territory are all anti-introverted. The history of Duyan and Chen Erdian is righteous in one city. If this is the case with the envoy guarding the entrance of Beijing, then Jiangnan will not give up his hands!
is the so-called: the corpse mountain is full of white bones, and the lonely city of ten thousand deaths is not willing to surrender! Message to passers-by to cover their noses, the living are not as fragrant as the dead!
