Chapter 246: The armor business is on fire

After the reception banquet, Zhang Keda returned to An Yongde to prepare a mansion for him, which was an idle house of a gentry surnamed Liu, and the courtyard of three entrances and three layers was controlled by more than 100 guards of Zhang Keda at this time, and An Yongde also presented a few maids and maids for drive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

An Yongde left after a few words of gossip, after all, Denglai Town had been marching for many days, and Zhang Ke had to rest early.

Zhao Lie was left behind by Zhang Keda.

"My lord, this time I heard that my lord joined the Jiannu brigade on the way here and killed more than 300 Jiannu, which is really gratifying." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

The tea bowl in Zhang Keda's hand was stunned, he looked at Zhao Lie with a smile, and understood in his heart that this was to use the head of Jiannu to offer, of course, he must ask for something.

Zhang Ke can go to the position of the second-class member of the imperial court, of course he is not a stupid and upright person, he knows the three flavors of officialdom, if he does not go through the operation of many parties, where does he, the chief soldier, come from, he knows the thoughts of officialdom, Zhao Lie is so good, he must have asked for something.

Zhang Ke nodded at Zhao Lie and said with a smile, "At a young age, where did you learn such behavior, let's just say what do you like." ”

"Zongzhen's eyes are like torches," Zhao Lie patted a little, "My lord, this time his subordinates rely on his subordinates to fight bravely, and they won by luck, and they can still make a small progress in their official positions, but the general will inevitably die immediately, and his subordinates don't want to transfer to the barracks. ”

Zhang Ke looked at Zhao Lie, who was a little apprehensive, with a smile, and said in his heart, this Yanei also has something to ask for, I thought you had a father and military merits in your hands and never asked for help.

As for Zhao Lie's coveting of Jing Haiwei's commander, he wanted to promote it, after all, the gang of local snakes in Denglai Wei's gang of yin and yang violations in the past two years had made him suffer a lot.

Zhang Keda hated Qiu Ba like this. It's just that these people are all Denglai head snakes, and they can't do it in a hurry, and now that Zhao Lie wants to live in it, he will definitely clash with such people, and he likes to see it.

Of course, since Zhao Lie is so fancy. So how could Zhang Keda not knock on it, otherwise wouldn't it be too unreasonable.

"Zhao Qianhu, it's not necessary to protect you in this town," Zhang Ke looked at Zhao Lie playfully, "Well, I heard that you captured more than 1,000 war horses of Jiannu, alas, it's a shame to say that the mounts of the Denglai soldiers are only barely maintained." There are no spare horses, what a deal. ”

Damn, you old boy, you originally set your sights on war horses, and there is a shortage of war horses at the moment, and the minimum is sixty or seventy taels of silver, and these nearly two thousand war horses are one hundred thousand taels of silver, and Zhao Lie's plan is to let his own infantry also go on horses to fight. Increased infantry mobility, which was crucial in the Kennu campaign.

There is a huge shortage of horses these days. This old bastard stared at Zhao Lie's heart at a glance, Zhao Lie not only hurt in the flesh, but also hurt all over his body.

Zhang Keda admired Zhao Lie's tangled expression, and tasted tea by himself, he was not afraid that Zhao Lie would not give in, who would let you ask for something.

"Lord Chieftown. These war horses can also have 600 war horses left after supplementing the battle losses of their subordinates, and all the subordinates are dedicated to adults. Zhao Lie weighed one or two, Commander Wei was very important to keep Shidao, compared to horses, after all, they could still be bought with silver taels.

"That's very good," Zhang Keda said with joy in his heart. This is more than 30,000 taels of silver, and the most important thing is that it can greatly strengthen the combat power of the Denglai cavalry, and what kind of cavalry is there if there is no good spare horse.

"Zhao Qianhu rest assured, this calm meeting will be with you, Zhao Qianhu is a fierce general in Denglai Town, how can he give in to others."

He didn't know that in the battle of Gu'an, Zhao Lie also captured the war horse, and secretly said that Zhao Lie sacrificed the war horse captured by Taiban, which was very good.

"My lord, I don't know if Zhao Feng, the younger brother of the lower official, can be promoted to Jinghaiwei Zuo Qianhu." Zhao Lie finally put forward the last condition, the base of Shidao must be held in his hands.

Zhang Ke laughed and agreed, he knew that the old Zhao family was determined to win Shidao, but it had little to do with him, and he was the master of a small thousand households.

At noon on the second day, the soldiers of the various guards in Denglai Town arrived in Zhuozhou, and nearly a thousand soldiers were scattered on this road, and they could not be frightened by the tragic situation of the people on the road.

Zhang Keda looked at the beggar soldiers who were dragging his feet like this with a blue face, and scolded several commanders one by one, which really threw his face to Gyeonggi, making him Zhang lose face.

An Yongde nodded secretly, and he saw the familiar soldiers of the Daming Guard, well, that's right, Denglai Town can't all be as capable soldiers as Xiao Zhao.

In the evening, several commanders secretly contacted Zhao Lie, wanting to buy some Jiannu heads, these Jiannu heads have become such a person's talisman magic weapon, with these heads, that is, there are military merits, even if the peak blames it, there is a rhetoric, see it, after the bloody battle with Jiannu, the damage is serious, and it is unbearable to fight again, so you can only rest on the spot.

Zhao Lie sold three hundred Jiannu heads, each of which was two hundred taels of silver, and each commander bought dozens of heads.

The court reward is forty taels of silver for each Jiannu head, and he has to pay one hundred and sixty taels of silver out of his own pocket, but this silver money cannot be saved, this is a talisman to save his position and his life.

Even Zhao Lie's top boss Chang Runing had the audacity to buy fifty Jiannu heads and some armor, what, how did you say that Zhao Lie didn't offer some, the two were deadlocked so far, Zhao Lie could sell it to him, but he didn't care about him.

Zhao Lie made a profit of nearly 50,000 taels of silver, and finally made up for the loss of the war horse, he had too many Jiannu heads in his hands, too many heads did not have much benefit for his promotion, and having a thousand eight hundred heads was enough, not to mention that the corpse of the sixth master, the largest Tabai, was in his hands, and the other heads were really not eye-catching.

As for Zhang Keda, he didn't care about it, he didn't bother to pay attention to these things, and he didn't want the Denglai Town Guard to be known to everyone under the combat power of beggars.

At this time, the head snake An Yongde also came to the door.

It turned out that the generals in the Gyeonggi area heard about the victory in Zhuozhou and approached An Yongde, hoping to buy some Jiannu heads. It's better to get through this difficulty.

Jiannu entered the Koujing Division, and turned Gyeonggi upside down, but so many guards from all over the country did not gain anything at all, once Jiannu withdrew from the customs, the imperial court will definitely be held accountable afterwards, and it will be light to go home to be surveyed at that time. If you don't make a good fuss, you will be charged with breaking your family and killing your head, how can you not make these generals anxious.

So some garrisons and guerrillas in Baoding Prefecture, and even the generals of Xuanfu and Jizhen sent people to contact them when they heard the news, and they all found An Yongde, who made him a general of the Gyeonggi army, as for the Denglai generals who did not have any contact with them on weekdays, this is all something in the secret that cannot be put on the table, and they dare not collude with strangers.

An Yongde couldn't save face, for the sake of the money sent to the door. I had to go to Zhao Lie again and again to discuss, buy some Jiannu first-level armor for these generals, and act in a full set. Therefore, this must be bought, and nothing less can be missing.

Zhao Lie's comer did not refuse. A large mess of the family is waiting for money, and the desire for money is really unlimited, and the more head armor can bring him countless silver coins, which is to increase the strength of the army of the captives, of course, Zhao Lie is welcoming with both hands and feet.

That's it, just half a month. Zhao Liefa sold more than 900 Jiannu heads, more than 300 Beiyu heads, as well as the corresponding armor and banners, and collected more than 227,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as making a lot of money.

And the generals of Gyeonggi, Xuanfu, and Jizhen are also extremely satisfied. At this time, the loss of some money is a trivial matter, and it is enough to collect it back in the future, and it is important to keep the current official position.

Of course, another one who made a fortune was An Yongde, in addition to the money, many generals owed favors, which was really unpleasant, when did a guard general be so beautiful.

At this time, with a lot of military merits in hand, Denglai Town ignored all the possible interrogations of the military cabinet and just rested in Zhuozhou with peace of mind, saying that he would not march to the Beijing Division, it was originally no way, if he retreated, it would be the end of being condemned, who still cares about these at this time, some people have begun to think about using these first-level activities to change a better place.

Denglai town reinforcements in Zhuozhou like a rock, Dajin State lord Huang Taiji can not sit still, the reason why his whole army retreated north to besiege the Beijing Division, is to lure the snake out of the hole, in the field to annihilate this damn Denglai army.

Well, this Ming army completely ignored the siege of the Ming Dynasty, and did not leave Zhuozhou, and the Jiannu army was embarrassed.

Zhuozhou Jiancheng can not be attacked, can the Beijing division be able to attack, the defenders of the city in the Beijing division are more than 100,000 people, how to attack more than 20,000 less than 30,000 soldiers, even if the attack is also half of the Tai, what is the use of the money and food in the Beijing division, there is no money to spend, at this time only the soldiers under his command are the foundation, the foundation is destroyed, and there is nothing else to talk about.

Can't attack the fortifications, the outside of the Jingshi city was also looted, there is really no oil and water to fish, there are more strange words in the camp, now, the Jiannu soldiers still have not departed from the true nature of the bandits, you talk about strategy with these old people, talk about the overall situation, that is, chickens and ducks, they think the same, they entered the customs to rob the south, and they can't grab anyone who is drinking snow and drinking wind here.

On the fifth day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji was unwilling to order the withdrawal from the Beijing division to the east to meet with the Red Flag, Red Flag, and Blue Flag soldiers led by Daishan and Amin, and decided to do a few more votes before leaving the Ming Dynasty and fight more grass valleys.

Jiannu withdrew the siege to the east, bypassing Tongzhou and turning northwest.

After two days, the Beijing division finally found out that Huang Taiji really withdrew from the siege, and the Jingshi who was trembling for more than a month was resurrected with full blood, and the thousands of officials in the Ming court were all celebrating each other, it was not easy, and the siege was finally withdrawn.

And the most fortunate thing is that the reinforcements from all walks of life in the Beijing division and the soldiers of the Beijing camp, Jiannu siege has not to be against them, and now they are all glad to have escaped the catastrophe.

In fact, the most fortunate here is Man Gui, Sun Zushou and You Shilu, if there is no Zhuozhou Tabai killed, in the original history You Shilu was defeated in the battle with Jiannu outside the city, and was immediately dismissed and returned home, and Man Gui, Sun Zushou and others were killed outside the Anding Gate, and now the two of them and their soldiers have escaped the catastrophe, although the loss of Thai half, but after all, the whole army is not annihilated.

Of course, the people of Beijing are also relieved, the grain, salt and sugar, and groceries in Beijing are counting on the maintenance of Caoyun, since the siege of the city, the price of grain has soared, it is four or five times that of two months ago, it is really sad, and now Jiannu has withdrawn from the army, which means that Caoyun can pass, and the price of grain in the city immediately plummeted, although it is at least twice that of the normal year, but it is also seeing the light.
