Yang He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Big brother, you must not say such things." ”

"I know, isn't this just for the two of us." Black Cloud Crane laughed.

As he spoke, he looked back at Li Wei and said, "Dog, don't spread what I just said." ”

Li Wei shook his head: "I didn't hear a word of what Shen Rong and Brother Yang said just now. ”

"Stinky boy, so clever." Black Cloud Crane laughed.

"Shen Rong, Brother Yang has named me, Li Wei." Li Wei said suddenly.

"Get out! Lao Tzu called you a dog, what's wrong? Don't like to hear it? Black Cloud Crane glared and scolded.

Yang He smiled and said to Li Wei: "Li Wei, Shen Rong calls you a dog, but he is close to you, and others can't hear Shen Rong call him a nickname." ”

"I know, but the dogs are too ugly." Li Wei muttered.

"Hahaha!" Black Cloud Crane laughed when he heard this.

Raising his eyes and looking at the sky, Heiyunhe smiled and said, "It's almost noon, let's go back to eat, and let's have a drink in a while." ”

Yang He smiled and nodded.

As soon as Yang He and the others returned to the city, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then saw Zhang Ming coming from his horse first.

Yang He and Hei Yunhe saw it and hurriedly greeted them.

When they got to the front of the two, Zhang Mingxian pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, and the horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and suddenly stopped.

Zhang Ming jumped off the horse, hugged his fists at the two and said, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Heiyunhe frowned: "You rode into the city, if it weren't for the soldiers in the city who didn't warn, I would have thought you were chasing Jianyu behind!" ”

Ming Xian smiled: "Aren't I in a hurry!" ”

Yang He smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, has all the grain hoarded by the right tunwei been burned?" ”

"It's burned, after I arrived at the right guard, this is the first thing I did." Zhang Ming said first: "Good guy, how much grain do you guess the right guard has hoarded?" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and opened his five fingers and compared: "At least 500,000 stones!" ”

"500,000 stones! So much! Black Cloud Crane exclaimed.

Zhang Mingxian nodded: "Damn, if this is not burned, it will all be robbed by Jianyu." Brother, you're still amazing! ”

Yang He smiled and shook his head: "Brother Zhang, have the soldiers and civilians of the Right Guard been evacuated?" ”

Zhang Mingxian sighed: "There are only about 100 soldiers left in the right guard, and I saw that there was a shortage of manpower, so I only notified the people in the city to evacuate. ”

Heiyunhe wondered, "Why are there only a hundred or so left?" What about the rest? ”

"Xiong Tingbi took it all away when he left the right guard." Zhang Ming said first.

Black Cloud Crane nodded, sighed lightly, and said, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Hei Yunhe looked behind Zhang Mingxian: "Why did you come back alone?" What about the other brothers? ”

Zhang Mingxian smiled: "They are behind, I will come back to report to you first." ”

Seeing that Hei Yunhe's face was uncertain, Zhang Ming said busily: "Shen Rongxiu is going to be annoyed, I have good news for you." ”

"What's the good news?" Black Cloud Crane Strange Road.

Zhang Mingxian said with a smile: "This time, my brother made a lot of money when he went to Youtunwei!" And guess what? Damn, Lao Tzu found more than 30,000 taels of silver in the silver vault of Youtunwei, and I moved it back. ”

"All moved back? How did you move back. "The black cloud crane said strangely.

Zhang Ming said first: "Use a carriage!" There were more than 100 wagons in Youtunwei, and I not only brought back the silver, but also pulled more than 100 carts of grain. ”

"Will they give you the carriage? And let you hold silver? "The black cloud crane said strangely.

Zhang Mingxian said with a smile: "There are only more than 100 soldiers left in the right guard, and the biggest official is a hundred households, how dare he not listen to Lao Tzu's words?" ”

Smiling, Zhang Ming first said: "But I have few people, so many cars can't be loaded, and I can't catch up, so in order to let them help me work, I gave the hundred households a hundred taels of silver, and those soldiers each gave ten taels of silver, and they agreed to help me load the car and catch the car." ”

Black Cloud Crane shook his head: "This is really asking for money, when is it, they are still greedy for silver." ”

"Hehe, the key is that I'm there, they don't look at me and I'm not afraid, what are they afraid of?" Zhang Mingxian said with a smile.

Black Cloud Crane smiled: "That's what I said. ”

Zhang Ming looked around first, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, I came back for another purpose, these people are not our people, I am afraid that they will leak the news of our private possession." ”

"What do you mean? ......" Black Cloud Crane stretched out his hand and made a cutting gesture.

Yang He hurriedly shook his head when he saw it: "It's not proper, although these people are not our people, but after all, they are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we can't attack our own people." ”

"What then? If the news leaks, we won't be able to keep the money. Zhang Ming said first.

Yang He pondered for a while and said, "Brother Zhang, you tell me the truth, how do you plan to arrange this money." ”

Zhang Ming said first: "Brother, what are you talking about, we are brothers, and there are so many brothers under us, how can I eat alone?" ”

Yang He nodded lightly when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, how much do you plan to keep for yourself." ”

Zhang Ming first looked at Hei Yunhe, gritted his teeth and said, "Big Brother Hei, Brother Yang, I'll tell you the truth, all the money I've made over the years has been used to raise soldiers, and I have never put a tael of silver into my waist."

But in the last battle of Xiping Fort, Lao Tzu almost put his life into it, and this time the defense of Guangning City was almost finished.

If I die, what will happen to my family? So I have to set aside some money for my family to support my family.

Big Brother Hei, Brother Yang, I don't want much money, I want two thousand taels.

The situation of Big Brother Hei and Brother Li is similar to mine, I mean that Big Brother Hei and Brother Li also take 2,000 taels, and Brother Yang will start a family in the future, and he will also buy a field and house, and if there are many places to ask for money, he will take 3,000 taels. The rest of the money went to the brothers. ”

Hearing this, Heiyunhe turned his head to look at Yang He.

Yang He sighed, grabbed Hei Yunhe and Zhang Mingxian's hands with both hands and said, "It is only natural for a man to support his family. ”

Hei Yunhe and Zhang Ming heard the words first and knew that Yang He had agreed.

The two were overjoyed, and held Yang He's hand with their backhands and said, "Good brother." ”

Yang He smiled and said: "Since you want to share the spoils, then you don't need to hide them, and when the silver taels are transported, they will be distributed to the brothers, ten taels each, and the rest will be distributed to Sun Defu and other brothers and the families of the dead brothers after they go back." As for my share, let it be sent to Dashuai's house. ”

Zhang Mingxian muttered: "Don't you want to leave two thousand taels for the handsome, brother, you will have more places to use money in the future, you don't want money, what will you do in the future?" ”

Yang He waved his hand: "It's no longer enough to give the rest of the silver to the families of the brothers who died in the battle, so don't give the money to the marshal, my share will be given to the marshal, so it's decided." ”

Seeing Yang He's resolute attitude, Hei Yunhe and Zhang Mingxian had no choice but to agree.

As soon as the three of them finished discussing, the follow-up troops entered Ningyuan City with silver, grain and grass, followed by a large number of people.

Black Cloud Crane asked the people to settle down first, and then gathered the soldiers together and began to sit on the ground and divide the spoils.

Zhang Mingxian got back a total of more than 38,000 taels of silver this time, and there were more than 1,900 soldiers who withdrew from Guangning City, each of whom was divided into 10 taels of silver, a total of more than 19,000 taels of silver, and more than 10,000 taels were left after excluding the 9,000 taels left by Hei Yunhe and others.

Seeing that the soldiers were looking at the remaining silver, Heiyunhe said the purpose of the remaining silver, and the soldiers had no objection to this. And the soldiers of the Right Guard also knew that they could survive, and it was all thanks to these people who fought bloodily in Quang Ninh City, and they had no objection to giving these people money.

After dividing the money, Heiyunhe ordered a meal.

All the soldiers were in a good mood when they received the silver reward, and the amount of food was better than usual, and each of them had half a bowl of rice.

After the meal, the Black Cloud Crane gave the order to set off.

Because of the people following, the speed of the people slowed down greatly, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that they came to the city of Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan was built by the general Xu Da in the early Ming Dynasty and took one year and eight months to build, because of its location between the mountains and the sea, so it is called Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan, named Guan, is actually a city, and it can also be said that it is a city as a pass.

The main fortification of Shanhaiguan is in the east city wall, and the gate set up by the east city wall is the gate of Shanhaiguan.

The gate is nearly six meters wide and nearly eight meters high. Above the gate is the city platform, which is 12 meters high, more than 40 meters long and 30 meters wide. There are two layers of arrow tower built on the city platform, there is a plaque on the front of the arrow tower, the book "the first pass in the world", it is written by the Ming Chenghua year jinshi, calligrapher Xiao Xian.

(Note: The plaque of Xiao Xian's personal book is now hidden in the city tower of Shanhaiguan, and the imitation is hanging outside.) ）

Because the east city gate is the gate of Shanhaiguan, the military status is extremely important, therefore, in order to protect the gate, an urn city was built outside the east gate when it was built.

(Note: The shape of the urn city is generally arc-shaped, which looks like an urn, so it is called the urn city.) In addition, there is another layer of meaning of naming the urn city, that is, catching turtles in the urn, which means that there is nowhere to escape when you enter the urn city. Because the depth of the urn city is only a few tens of meters, the defenders can easily attack the enemy troops entering the urn city by standing on the main city wall. There is also a kind of urn city is square, also called square city, the urn city built outside the east gate of Shanhaiguan is a square city. ）

The walls on both sides of the urn city are connected to the main city wall, and the city gate is open to the south, so that even if the enemy army attacks the urn city, it will not be able to directly attack the main city gate.

In the twelfth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, in order to make the city defense of Shanhaiguan more consolidated, the garrison of Shanhaiguan built a city outside the urn city again, named Luocheng, because there is also a Luocheng outside the west gate of Shanhaiguan, so this Luocheng outside the east gate is called Dongluocheng.

(Note: According to the "Shanhaiguan Chronicle": "Dongluo City is outside Dongguan, connecting the big city, surrounded by 547 zhang 4 feet, 2 zhang 3 feet high, and 1 zhang 4 inches wide. Gate three, water gate two, corner tower two, attached to the enemy building seven. And Yun: "The city is surrounded by a pool, and there are two feet and nine feet in one hundred on Thursday." ”）

The city wall in the east of Dongluo City is built with a city gate, it is the outer door of Shanhaiguan, the arrow tower is built on it, it is called "Fuyuan Building", the city gate hole is nearly five meters high, four meters wide, nearly ten meters deep, the door is inlaid with the stone plaque that engraves three big characters of Shanhaiguan, there is an urn city outside the city gate, and there is an urn gate in the south wall of the urn city.

In addition, there is a moat outside Shanhaiguan City, and a suspension bridge is set up at the city gate for passage.

That is to say, if you want to enter Shanhaiguan from the east, you must first enter the urn city outside Dongluo City through the moat, then enter Dongluo City, and then enter the urn city outside the east gate of Shanhaiguan, and finally reach the east gate of the main city of Shanhaiguan.
