After the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Wanli, the area from Guihua City to Datong Town became more and more peaceful, and more and more Shanxi merchants came to Guihua City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xuanda Governor Weng Wanda, Datong Governor Mei Wenjin, Datong Town Deputy General Ma Dong and others also knew that it was a foregone conclusion at this time.

On the one hand, he sent people to Beijing to report the victory, and on the other hand, he cooperated with Wang Tong's side and began to send soldiers to patrol the area around Naturalization City to maintain quiet.

Now it is indeed not very peaceful, but on that day Wang Tong defeated the enemy army, broke the city and killed the king, the action was too fast, the main force of the army was either destroyed in the field, or was killed in the city when the city was broken, everywhere were small groups of routed soldiers, these horse thieves turned into broken soldiers, they really had no combat effectiveness, the number was small, and the caravan guards were enough to fight.

Although the New Year is not over until the end of the New Year, all the businessmen in Shanxi have already been active, and it would be foolish not to go to the Naturalization City to see if there is a chance to pan for gold.

The big merchants themselves led their own teams, and the small traders came in groups, all of them came to the Naturalization City.

On the third day of the second lunar month, Wang Tong, the governor of Qincha, hosted a banquet at the barracks of the Tartar Guards in the city of Naturalization, with a capital of more than 5,000 taels and leading figures from all walks of life.

This side of the camp is extremely wide, the blood stains on the ground have long been covered with soil, and there are large tents set up around the site, if you are afraid of the cold, you can go in to rest, and there are hot tea and snacks in front of the guests.

Outside several tents, there is an iron frame, and the fat sheep are barbecued on the iron frame, and the barbecue masters keep brushing the condiments to the sheep, and the grease is roasted, and the aroma is overflowing, which makes people drool.

Two more battalions of spearmen and fire mirrors of the Huwei Army practiced in the open space in the middle, and the area where the fire locks and soldiers fired was also vacated large enough for the fire commanders to shoot.

There are several kinds of targets hanging in front of them, some are straw men in cloth clothes, some are straw men in fur, and some are covered with iron armor, and the fire blunt soldiers keep firing and shooting.

With such a powerful fire mirror, many people have seen it for the first time, and they are all gathered around to see the freshness, and what is even fresher is that if you also want to try it, then you can also come forward.

The spearmen were lined up in a square line, holding wooden poles in their hands, and the front of the wooden poles was painted with red paint, "counting as the tip of the spear, and some people rode horses to look like Tartar cavalry, constantly rushing forward and slashing, and the spearmen resisted there, and the movements of both sides were very slow, so that the people around them could see clearly."

The merchants of Shanxi and the Han people of Guihua City were originally acquainted, and the merchants of Shanxi themselves were also familiar with each other, but everyone was busy with business, and there were few times when they met.

Such a lively scene, but the background is the intermittent sound of cannons, the interval and strength of the cannons are irregular" Everyone did not panic, from time to time some people came back from outside, and some people went out from inside.

"Coming back from watching the cannon outside the city?"

"It's back, this cannon is better than the one used by the border soldiers, it can be dragged away by horses, put down and simply clean up a few times to open the cannon, and it can be hit far."

"This fire mirror here is not bad, I stared at it with my own eyes just now, those soldiers have changed a hundred and ten fire systems, and the branches can be fired, and the armor in front of them is all real iron plates and iron pieces, all of which have been pierced!"

"No wonder, the border soldiers have been tossing for one hundred and eighty years, and they have been beaten and suffered losses every year, and as soon as the army of Qin Cha came, even the monk Guleng was slaughtered, and it was really not simple......

"It's not simple, the leader of my family's guards, who used to be the general in Ningxia, just followed and said, "This group of soldiers really can't go, even if there is no fire scope artillery, just these soldiers with spears, the Tartar cavalry can't take advantage of them in front of them!"

Everyone was amazed, but a businessman is a businessman, and the conversation quickly changed back to business.

"Do you know Sanjiang Commercial Bank?"

"That's an interesting question, who doesn't know this firm, don't you want to ask if this is Lord Wang's property!"

"Isn't that a catchphrase? This Jinhe, Yongsheng, Tonghai, Jilai old owner made a mistake, it is said that now it is the property of Lord Qincha, you say, this naturalized city is such a big piece of fat, how can this Qincha be willing to give to others, it must be swallowed by his own family, let's come, thank God for having a mouthful of soup to drink! ”

"Lao Pan, that's not right, brother, I have business in Zhili, Tianjin Wei also often runs, that is the scene of Jinshan Yinhai, the big ships on the sea are as many as the cattle and sheep grazing by the Tartars, pull the silver, take the goods away, that kind of Da, Sanjiang Commercial Bank did not swallow all of them, but repaired the store, made everything comfortable, let the big guy go over to do business, everyone's wealth, this naturalization city I think is also regulated like this, otherwise, why let these commercial houses post in advance to invite everyone to come over!"

"It's still my brother who has insight, if Lord Qincha is his own personality, the business on the side of Tianjin Wei will not let many of them reach out, and there are also many local businessmen in Xuanfu and Jizhen who do business with the grassland, and I didn't see Wang Tong and them stop him."

"What's the point of you two arguing about this, have you heard of Niu Gengang?"

"That ancestor voted for the Tartars?"

"Now that the people are in revolt, as soon as the city of naturalization is opened, he will throw it over, and as a result, he will immediately have benefits, leading his private soldiers to follow the army to copy several tribes, there are as many cattle, sheep and livestock as the sea, not to mention the population and benefits captured," ......

"I've heard about this matter, he got a lot of things to sell, and the goods that I went to see with Lao Sun yesterday, the big families who have private soldiers in the city, this time they all sent their soldiers out to rob them, and they all flattened the wealth!"

"Damn, not in the land of Wanghua is this advantage, in Daming, let's raise a few more families, and the people of the government will come to find trouble!!"

Most of the businessmen are slanderous, this kind of war, often everyone is dodging, lest they be affected by the military disaster, when the time comes, no one thought that this time anyone who did not hide, even too late to hide, is a big fortune, everyone also has a plan in their hearts, dare to love this war can also be rich.

Like this Sanjiang Commercial Bank, before the start of the war, the purchase of grain and military supplies, can not make any money at all, counting the labor and the like, it must be a loss of money, at that time everyone naturally understood, but at that time I thought that Sanjiang Commercial Bank and Wang Tong had such a close relationship, and they lost their own money to do official business, others were willing, and everyone could not control it.

By now, everyone has come back to their senses, this is not a loss of money at all, counting the income earned in the Naturalization City, it must have multiplied the income several times, a big fortune!

This incident somewhat reversed the opinion in everyone's hearts, and when they were discussing it, they heard the drum beating, and someone shouted loudly: "Lord Wang has arrived!" ”

Hearing these words, all the businessmen present quieted down and looked at the gap on the other side of the empty field, but this time they didn't see Wang Tong, who was accompanied by the honor guard, but more than a dozen carriages were connected from the other side, and they rushed in.

The well-informed whispered there: "See, this is the cart of the forbidden army, a good thing!" More than the big car we are used to can carry eighty percent more things, this trip is amazing, it is said that someone has imitated it in Shanxi. ”

The drums sounded again, everyone was quiet, and the soldiers present advised everyone to stand outside, and everyone naturally listened, but they were all a little confused, thinking what was this for.

The spearmen and fire-mirror soldiers who had been practicing walked to both sides of the cart to line up, and the cavalrymen went to the other side of the field to line up, and someone shouted in the carriage: "The steppe is flat and vast, how far can you see the Tartar cavalry?" ”

Someone else replied in a loud voice: "If you pay attention carefully, you can see it a thousand steps away, and no matter how bad it is, you can see it in five hundred steps!" ”

The merchants in the field have rich experience in trading on the grassland, so they naturally understand, but this scene is like a singing, everyone is quite interested, and as soon as the voice fell, a person who had been standing on the roof of the big car pointed to the cavalry and shouted: "There are thieves!" ”

The cavalry began to approach unhurriedly, and on the side of the cart, a cadre of people was nervous and busy, unloading the horses, and then connecting them with the baffles on the cart, and the fire commander climbed on the cart to make a shooting appearance, and the cavalry stopped after approaching, and someone shouted: "The Tartar cavalry can't rush the block of this cart, and there are fire mirrors and bows and arrows to hit them in the distance, and if they are close to fight outward with spears and big knives, they can't get in, and the tiger will definitely not be able to eat the hedgehog!" ”

After saying this, everyone present laughed, and some people with flexible brains thought that I could also buy these things, and after this, I couldn't go anywhere on the grassland.

"Everyone, I'm Wang Tong!"

Everyone was still looking forward to the next show, the cavalry was turning, in front of the cart, the spearmen and the fire commanders were also lined up in a neat queue, and on the top of the cart there was now only one person standing, this person was wearing armor, tall and tall, and was clasping his fists around.

This appearance was indeed surprising, but the merchants below did not dare to lose their manners, and the people in the audience bowed down in unison, and said: "The grass people meet Lord Qincha!" ”

"You have come to Guihua City from afar, everything is simple after the war, and there is nothing to entertain, I want to ask for your forgiveness."

After a polite sentence, Wang Tong opened his mouth again and said: "Do you think you are late, what you should take has been taken, what you should have robbed has been robbed, and there is no chance of empty-handed money, right?" ”

There was a quiet below, everyone laughed again, Lord Qincha said it, everyone was not afraid, Wang Tong said again: "Everyone, there is something to sell!" ”
