Chapter 148 Transaction of Transactions
These soldiers have earned a lot of money in recent times, and the silver they have stolen after the war has been distributed by Chen Xie according to the three-seven opening. Master Chen gets seventy percent, and those who serve as soldiers are thirty percent. Don't say that profiteers embezzle even their lives for money, that's not bad.
Chen Xie's soldiers are not the kind of white pole soldiers who have no salary and have to lead their own guys to fight.
In Funing City, a small-scale controversy is underway. There are not many people, two people, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang.
"The only people who know about this matter are you and me. Let's talk about it, these Nanban from the stone pillars are crazy for silver. It is estimated that the money of the household department is unreliable, so we made up our mind. When Zu Dashou said this, the other two nodded with deep sympathy. Seventy percent of the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty was spent in Liaodong, and they were all rich people, and they were afraid of death if they had money to fight. Wu Xiang is a typical representative, next year, he ran away on the battlefield, but he suffered the eldest brother's birthday.
Wu Xiang sighed slightly: "This opportunity is rare, although 50,000 taels of silver is a lot, but compared to recovering the lost land, it is really nothing." In the battle of Jingshi, my brother was remembered by His Majesty. If it weren't for Inspector Sun to let his brother defend himself, this matter would not have been able to pass. In my opinion, it is better to agree to this stone pillar native soldier and let Zu Band 5,000 cavalry go quietly. The deal was completed, and it was said that it coincided with the fierce battle between Jiannu and Shizhu soldiers, and our department took the opportunity to seize the city. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, but if it does, your majesty will be able to improve your impression, and it's worth spending some silver. ”
At this time, Zu Dashou was still more willing to accept Wu Xiang's construction. Wu Xiang is a person. The craft of fighting is very fashionable, but it is a good hand to do business or something. It's that his son Wu Sangui can fight some, which is much better than being a father.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver is a lot, why haven't you talked about Jiannu's first-level armor or something?" Zu Dashou has no shortage of silver, but he takes out 50,000 taels at a time, and he is also very distressed. So haggle.
Wu Xiang smiled bitterly: "This bastard is not a thing, he drank the flower wine last night, and the girl also slept." I just don't let go. "Ma Xianglin. He absolutely obeyed Chen Xie's words, and after coming to Funing, he asked to see Zu Dashou, and no one talked about the sale. Zu Dashou didn't say anything at the time. Let Wu Xiang receive it. As a result, Wu Xiang didn't negotiate the price. Ma Xianglin said according to Chen Xie. Biting the price.
Chen Xie was undoubtedly gambling that Zu Dashou needed credit to make up for the fact that he led the troops to run away, so he dared to do this.
On the fifth day of the occupation of Luanzhou, Ma Xianglin returned. He also brought 3,000 Guanning cavalry and 3,000 infantry.
Chen Xie also saw the white and chubby Wu Xiang, when he was at the city gate, Chen Xie reported his name, Wu Xiang's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet him very enthusiastically: "But Dengzhou Chen Shenyi in person?" ”
Chen Xie smiled: "It should be me!" "Now Wu Xiang is even more enthusiastic, don't look at this thing as the chief soldier, he has been in charge of the trading of the Guan Ning Army. As long as he can earn money, there is nothing he does not dare to buy and sell. Wu Xiang's fleet has also traveled to Dengzhou several times and entered some "American" goods, but his shopkeepers are all second-hand goods from agents, and they are not qualified to rely on Liu Qing at all, let alone Chen Xie.
Of course, Chen Xie knew what kind of character Wu Xiang was, but this did not prevent him from making money from Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang can't fight, and he wants to be tough in interpersonal relationships, and the two profiteers soon hooked up. As for why Chen Xie appeared here, Wu Xiang didn't ask much, and Guan Ningjun didn't know that this Luanzhou was defeated by Chen Xie's main force.
Wu Xiang also thought that Chen Xie was a businessman who provided some military supplies to the white pole soldiers to earn silver. Isn't this something message isolated? Sun Chengzong sent someone to Jingshi to report the news, but after he went back, he didn't bring news of such a small role as Chen Xie.
Then Wu Xiang introduced the two generals behind him, the first one was called Zu Kuan, and the second one made Chen Xie dumbfounded, classmate Wu Sangui. Seeing Chen Xie's surprise, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui were very incomprehensible. Wu Xiang smiled and asked, "Doctor Sihua, what's wrong?" What's wrong with dogs? ”
Chen Xie reacted, shook his head again and again, and said: "There is nothing wrong, I have a little face to face, the face of the little general is rich and noble, and the future is limitless." Chen Xie is right, and he is not lying. No, Wu Sangui became emperor after the rebellion. Don't say it, Wu Sangui is definitely dignified in terms of appearance, and he doesn't need makeup to play positive roles in TV series and movies.
Everyone likes to listen to good words, even Wu Sangui, who has always been cool with a straight face, also showed a smile. As everyone knows, Chen Xie is already secretly planning at this moment, and he has to find an opportunity to kill this grandson in the future. If Wu Sangui hadn't let the Qing army enter the customs, how could the descendants of the wild boar skins of "I Daqing" be so easy to win the world. At all times, traitors are the most dangerous.
Chen Xie accompanied Wu Xiang to speak enthusiastically, Ma Xianglin and Qin Yiming dealt with the other two generals, and everyone looked like a harmonious scene. The Guanning Army Brigade stayed outside the city temporarily, and several main generals followed hundreds of cavalry into the city, and soon got together to drink and talk nonsense, and the relationship progressed very quickly.
When the conversation was hot, Wu Xiang said: "Doctor Sihua, I've heard that this American product is from Your Excellency. ”
Chen Xie smiled and said, "That's right, what's the matter, my brother also wants to get some American goods?" This is easy to do, go back and ask people to send some to my brother to ensure that my sister-in-law is satisfied. "Chen Xie, this guy is also very bad, he deliberately calls Wu Xiang a brother and a brother, taking advantage of the big traitor, and satisfies himself first.
When Wu Xiang saw Chen Xie, it was like seeing the silver of the white flowers, how could he care about the title, and smiled very happily: "Actually, Sihua is not outside, then my brother will hold a big one." Brother, there are a lot of good things in Liaodong, why don't we do some business together? ”
Chen Xie made a surprise gesture, patted his thigh and said, "Since the elder brother said so, the younger brother is not polite." Liaodong's furs and medicinal materials can be exchanged for American goods at the United Firm, so that everyone can save the trouble of carrying silver back and forth. ”
The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and there was a tendency to hate each other. Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan's side are not so lively. Soldiers, they can't help but ask about the war in Luanzhou. As a result, this Qin Yiming blew on, saying how the white pole soldiers were, and defeated the three thousand Houjin army with a rain of bullets. Zu Kuan's expression was to listen to it as a joke, and Wu Sangui directly attacked.
"In that case, the head is always there, right? Why don't you go down and open your eyes? ”
"It's good to say, it's easy to say, after drinking this wine, everyone will go and have a look." Ma Xianglin also agreed very simply, and now Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan's faces changed. This Guanning Army is known as the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, as far as they are concerned, the same strength against the Houjin Army has no chance of winning at all. Here, more than a thousand people were simply killed and beheaded. This combat power is too scary. Lao Tzu is the number one person in the world, and he is very uncomfortable. There is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, this is not nonsense. It is normal for literati to quarrel and not be able to tell the winner. The generals go into battle, real swords and guns, either lose or win, there is no trick.
After the banquet was dispersed, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the group staggered to the barracks, Wu Xiang was still talking nonsense with Chen Xie, and Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan's attention was on the soldiers who were moving.
"Brother Sihua, what's going on?" Seeing that the soldiers were moving, everyone was fully armed and carrying their bags, Wu Xiang also asked in surprise.
Chen Xie smiled: "Isn't this your coming?" It's time for us to go back, too. "Wu Xiang is not stupid, he can see that Ma Xianglin and Qin Yiming are the leaders of Chen Xie, so he asked. Chen Xie also did not hide it, and the position was very clear.
"Brother, the silver is still in the army outside the city." Wu Xiang reminded him, and his tone was not as affectionate as before. Chen Xie smiled slightly, and his extremely confident expression was revealed: "If I can take the city from Jiannu, I am not afraid of running out of silver." ”
Wu Xiang's face stiffened with a fierce smile, and Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan's expressions also cooled. Chen Xie didn't see the slightest change in their expressions, and raised his hand to point to a four-wheeled carriageway: "Don't you want to inspect the first level, this car is all." ”
Not counting those puppet soldiers, the heads of Jiannu alone are more than a thousand, which can't be faked. Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan, who had always been suspicious, were not polite at all, and each grabbed his head and looked at it. These heads were left for a few days, and although they were salted in lime, they did not taste very good. The two of them didn't care at all, they looked at dozens of them one by one, flipped through them again, took out a dozen from the bottom and looked at them, and were busy for more than ten minutes, and finally slowly retreated, with a solemn look on their faces.
"How? Two? Chen Xie unhurriedly took out the cigarette and lit it, the taste was too strong, and he needed to press it.
"All real slaves!" Wu Sangui told the truth, but the unconvincing in his eyes was still obvious. Chen Xie smiled and said: "Otherwise, you send someone back to discuss with General Zu, and don't wait for the army of King Qin from all walks of life, just join forces with our three parties, and then fight to the north, I think it will not be difficult to recover Qian'an and Yongping." ”
Before, they were really suspicious of the results of Chen Xie's side, thinking that the capture of Luanzhou was because Houjin took the initiative to shrink and was taken advantage of by them. Now when I look at so many heads, they are all old marks on the forehead, not newly shaved. This is very revealing, they did fight a battle, and they recovered Luanzhou relatively completely.
"Hehe, let's talk about the matter of partnering to fight north, let's talk about it first, how this Luanzhou was recovered. Why don't you hand over the money first? Wu Xiang had to bow his head and be convinced, even if it was Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan, these two were not as cold as before. This world, as expected, is better than fists.
"Deal, then deliver the silver first, and then talk about how to recover Luanzhou." Chen Xie smiled very happily, which just reflected the depression of Wu Xiang and the others. This silver, paid unjustly, the one who was still worried about bargaining, if it didn't work, he set up soldiers and horses to scare and scare. (To be continued......)
