Chapter 408: Overjoyed Zhang Keda

"Lord Zhao, I heard that after the extermination of 100,000 rebellions, their armor and horses all fell into the hands of Lord Zhao, I don't know if this rumor is true. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Zhang Ke said with a big smile.

"My lord doesn't know, the battle with the rebels is fierce, many armor and horses are damaged, and there are more than one of the ten intact remaining, especially the war horses, even if our department replenishes the captured war horses to our army, there are still more than 200 horses." Zhao Lie complained bitterly, and his expression was very helpless.

It was a matter of military armor, not a trivial matter, Zhao Lie decided to take a procrastination decision, and the decision could only be made after consulting with the generals of the same department after he returned.

"What Lord Zhao said is not true," Zhang Ke looked at Zhao Lie with a smile, and was not angry, "As long as it is a big victory, there will be gains, don't tell me that there are only hundreds of soldiers, do you think I will believe it." ”

"Uh," Zhao Lie smacked his mouth helplessly, and said very reluctantly, "After the loss of our army in this supplement, there are still hundreds of armor." ”

"Lord Zhao Lie, Lord Zhao, don't deceive me, your subordinates' armor is completely different from other Ming troops, if it is a waist knife and iron shield, it can also be used, hehe, other armor, spears, clubs, sabers, your subordinates will not mix."

Zhang Ke's eyes were very poisonous, and he had already carefully probed them, and the conclusion was that it was impossible for Zhao Lie's department to be equipped with such a different armor, which could only reduce its combat power.

"This, well," Zhao Lie said with a headache, "It is estimated that there are more than a thousand pieces of armor." ”

"Hehe, look for it slowly, maybe I will need three or four thousand pieces tomorrow, haha, don't worry, the silver taels of these armors will be owed to you first, and when the court silver taels are two, the generals will definitely make up for it." Zhang Keda teased.

"The lower officials and others will put it away, and as long as there is any surplus armor, they will all be offered." Zhao Lie is also playing haha.

The two parted, Zhao Lie led 3,000 troops into Shuicheng, and Zhao Lie also moved the capital Yamen into Shuicheng. The so-called king does not see the king, and it is better for him to stay away from the governor and the chief soldier.

Shuicheng just plays the role of the sailor of the Broken Army, communicating Shuicheng and Shidao, which is extremely suitable as the base of the Broken Army in Dengzhou.

As for the town, Zhao Lie really didn't take a fancy to it, such as being controlled by the imperial court soldiers and horses. He left soldiers and horses in Dengzhou, and the waterway communication with Shidao would also be cut off, and as for the land route, the poor road conditions determined that it was not a suitable choice to transfer troops or transport baggage.

Zhao Lie entered the water city to join Huang Han, and the small water city now has more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, which is a little crowded.

"My lord, the fleet is coming back tonight, you see, which thousand teams will return to Stone Island." Huang Han asked.

"Hmm. Leave the two reserve soldiers Qianzong, in addition, Wang Haizhou's cavalry Qianzong must also stay, after all, there is also a deterrent to Laizhou Weideng Weiwei Haiwei, which guard is disobedient, you can go around and let them be honest. Zhao Lie said.

With the results of Laizhou Cheng Liang, they still dare to be half-hearted. I am not afraid that the family will be wiped out. Huang Han said with a cruel smile.

"It's not like Master Zhang is back, I'm afraid that some people will start to think carefully again." Zhao Lie sneered.

The hearts and minds of the Chinese people are extremely lively. Maybe some people think that there is another way to keep the real power of their own commanders.

Zhang Keda came to Dengzhou City, he touched the cold and dark cannon body of the Hongyi cannon on the head of Beicheng, and sighed that there were nearly 100 artillery pieces to help, and Dengzhou fell twice in a row, which was unimaginable.

"Master Zhang, how did this Zhao Lie speak." Zhang Guoyuan asked.

Chen Yingyuan also looked at Zhang Keda with great concern. If you can get some armor, it can relieve the pressure on Denglai.

"Zhao Lie said that there are more than 1,000 pieces of intact armor." Zhang Keda said the conservative numbers that Zhao Lie said, and as for what he said about his own hope, the more the better, he didn't mention a word, if Zhao Lie didn't give more armor, wouldn't he be a laughing stock.

"Hmph. That is, hundreds of leather armor and cotton armor, hundreds of long spears and short knives, and Zhao Lie will not take them out. Zhang Guoyuan pouted and said, he is full of malice towards Zhao Lie now, and he thinks about everything in the worst place.

"Ben will open his mouth once, it has never been like this, Zhao Lie should have taken out a lot." Zhang Keda didn't see the real thing, and he didn't dare to say more.

"This is also true, this official heard that your General Zhang Bing has the grace to support Zhao Lie, and when he was appointed as the commander of Jing Haiwei, it was Lord Zhang who was promoted." Chen Yingyuan said with a smile.

"This is true, it's just that Zhao Lie doesn't have such great achievements, I just handed it over to be an excerpt, and he can't be this commander." Zhang Keda sighed.

"I'm afraid that he is also a second-grade member now, with thousands of elite soldiers, I'm afraid I have forgotten Lord Zhang's kindness to him back then." Zhang Guoyuan's yin and yang strange qidao.

Zhang Keda is very hot, and you hope that Zhao Lie will forget the old feelings and deal with me with some tattered armor, you will be happy, there is no good thing in the eunuchs.

After Zhang Keda was a nobleman, his identity was noble, and he really didn't have too many scruples about this eunuch, so his face showed unswervingness, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Guoyuan also regretted a little after he spoke, he also went to various places as an angel, and he was used to being flattered by local officials, and he didn't care too much about the officials below.

It's just that today's Zhang Keda is Jane's noble warrior in the emperor's heart, otherwise the Son of Heaven would never throw the mess of Denglai to Zhang Keda, and he has high hopes for Zhang Keda to regroup and suppress Zhao Lie.

"Don't blame Lord Zhao, this official said so, just because taking out more armor will greatly increase the strength of the court's soldiers and horses, which is extremely unfavorable to him, so... Zhang Guoyuan gave a rare explanation.

"What Zhang Zhenshou said is not unreasonable, of course, it also depends on how much Zhao Lie values Mr. Zhang, the former benefactor, and we will know in two days." Chen Yingyuan saw that the atmosphere was not too good, so he hurriedly made a handful of mud.

Zhang Ke laughed and didn't say much, he was also aggrieved in his heart, a general town had to turn his fate to his former subordinates, what was the matter, if Zhao Lie really dealt with him with some tattered armor as Zhang Guoyuan said, then he would have to lose his old face.

Two days later, Zhao Lie sent someone to invite Zhang Keda to come to Dengzhou Shuicheng to receive the soldiers, Zhang Keda hurriedly came to Shuicheng with two hundred guards, it can be said that he couldn't wait, he knew that if he waited for the imperial court to allocate two silver months, maybe half a year, maybe a year, maybe not。。。。。

Even if Zhao Lie took out more than a thousand pieces of broken armor, he could also recruit soldiers for training as soon as possible.

When Zhang Keda led people to the south gate of Shuicheng, Zhao Lie had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Chief, there are too few of these people." After greeting each other, Zhao Lie looked at the people brought by Zhang Keda and smiled.

"Oh, it looks like the commander has prepared a big gift for this town." Zhang Keda heard the strings and knew the elegance, and his spirit couldn't help but perk.

"Your Excellency, please." Zhao Lie smiled and didn't say anything, just politely courteous to Zhang Keda inside.

"You, you're still hiding from this town." Zhang Keda, who was in a good mood, nodded with his hand, and Zhao Lie smiled.

The group came to the vicinity of the east wharf of Shuicheng, where there were eight large warehouses, which were the places where the rice and grain transported from the south were stored when Denglai was in its heyday, and there were four large granaries and four large baggage warehouses.

Zhao Lie came to the door of one of the storehouses, saluted the soldiers, and said, "Open the gate." ”

The guards returned the salute and opened the door, and everything inside made Zhang Keda's eyes not stare out.

I saw bundles of spears standing upright by the wall, waist knives were stacked very neatly, arrows and bows and crossbows were also neatly arranged, and this warehouse was densely packed with these weapons, roughly estimated that there could be two or three thousand pieces, but left a narrow passage.

Zhang Ke's big eyes lit up, he walked a few steps, came to the pile of weapons, ignored the dust, picked up a long knife, only to see that the long knife was worn, at first glance it was used, but the knife was wiped with grease, and there was no rust stain at all.

Zhang Keda's subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to check these weapons one by one, Zhang Keda picked up a stone hard bow and used all his strength to open the bow.

He pulled it three times in a row, and tried to see that the bowstring was not damp and did not lose strength.

Zhao Lie accompanied him with a smile, very confident.

Sure enough, after a while, these family members reported to Zhang Ke that although these weapons were second-hand, they were well maintained and could be used immediately without renovation.

Zhang Keda was in a good mood, "Lord Zhao, although you didn't take out your armor, you will pass the test." After speaking, Zhang Ke laughed loudly.

"Who said there is no armor, just on the side." Zhao Lie pointed to the next door, and Zhang Keda hurriedly followed Zhao Lie to the warehouse next door.

When I opened the door, I saw a warehouse full of armor placed there, and the smell of grease came to my nose.

Most of the people visited here are leather armor, and some cotton armor.

Zhang Keda immediately asked the soldiers to check, and the result was the same, although they were all second-hand goods confiscated, they were very well maintained, and they could be used when they were taken away, which was more than 1,800 armors, although there were only more than 100 iron armors, but in Zhang Keda's opinion, it was enough.

But there are surprises in the back, there are more than 20 small Furlong machine copper and iron cannons in the last warehouse, this kind of small cannon does not have a large range, but when it is about to take the formation, it is still very lethal to the enemy when firing scattered bullets.

There are also more than 300 three-eyed guns, which are the equipment of the Ming cavalry, which are fired three times in battle, and then the heavy guns can be used as iron rods, and many Ming cavalry favorites.

Zhang Ke said that he couldn't see his teeth and eyes, he patted Zhao Lie's shoulder, the corners of his eyes were moist, and he said a few good words, which was not only a relief to Zhao Lie's actions, but he didn't see the wrong person.

Now that he has been reduced to the point of begging from his old subordinates, Zhao Lie is not stingy, Zhang Ke estimated that Zhao Lie took out all the armor and artillery that could be used.

Zhang Keda was also ashamed of his private speculation that Zhao Lie might use some broken armor to perfunctory him, look, it was still the same Zhao Lie who was full of spirit and fearless and dared to fight. (To be continued.) )
