claimed to behead 4,000, but only in exchange for a few words of commendation from the imperial court, there was no practical benefit, Lu Haoshan thought that he could be promoted to the next level and get a general to be a general, but in the end it ended up empty, it is estimated that the influence was not enough, and it failed to cause a sensation, so the reward was not much.

His subordinates are a little angry, and they are not worth it for their own adults, but Lu Haoshan can see that the silver of the emperor's family is not so easy to earn, Chongzhen is also a master who only enters but does not leave, the inner treasury is rich, and the treasury is pitifully poor, according to historical records, after Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, he found more than 200,000 taels of silver from the household department in charge of money and silver, and the household department of the Ming Empire only had more than 200,000 taels of silver, which shows how poor it is, but the emperor's inner treasury has a big harvest, 37 million taels of silver, 1.5 million taels of gold, the country is going to die, and the money is reluctant to spend, I don't know if it was he himself or Comrade Zhu Chongba left some legacy.

It is not ordinarily difficult to get benefits from such a door-picking master.

(Note: After Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, the amount of money and silver confiscated in the palace has been very different in history, this article uses the number used by Mr. Gu Cheng, an expert in contemporary Ming and Qing history, for quotation purposes only, right or wrong, everyone laughs and passes)

Lu Haoshan chose to camp on a hill next to the battlefield to recuperate, mainly because some wounded soldiers should not move, and Lu Haoshan did not want to be disturbed, living in the city is comfortable, but it is more free in the suburbs, and it is easy to train soldiers.

Time flies so fast, before you know it, it's the middle of March, counting the days, Lu Haoshan led his troops to recuperate here for more than ten days.

"This pearl is not big enough, this jade is not moist enough, well, the opal is so small as a finger, it's not interesting" On this day, Lu Haoshan was bored fiddling with the gold and silver goods seized from Lao Huihui's hands, in his free days. Lu Haoshan used this way to pass the time.

I have to say that there is too little entertainment in these years, there are no movies, television, computers, mobile phones, game consoles and other pastimes, leading the army to fight, and it is not good to gather people to drink and play money or something, which can suffocate Lu Haoshan, then Zhao Gongchang said that Lu Haoshan would get two women to relieve his boredom, Lu Haoshan hesitated, and finally shook his head and refused.

Fish begins to rot from the head. Now the atmosphere in the army is very good, all of them are positive, Lu Haoshan doesn't want to have external factors to destroy this atmosphere, to be honest, with excellent women like Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan, those ordinary goods Lu Haoshan can't look down on.

"Adult"

"Adult"

I don't know when, Zhao Gongchang and Li Dingguo walked in together and saluted Lu Haoshan.

"Sit down" Lu Haoshan waved his hand and asked the two henchmen to sit down.

Zhao Gongchang and Li Dingguo knew Lu Haoshan's temperament. What I don't like the most is politeness, and when I heard the words, I was not polite, and I found a Maza to sit down.

"My lord, after resting here for so long, my brothers' injuries have also healed. They asked the little ones to ask the adults when they were going to leave, and everyone wanted to find the old man and tear them up again, so as to avenge the dead brother. Li Dingguo knows that Lu Haoshan is a straight person, and he does not beat around the bush. Get straight to the point and ask your own questions.

Ordinary wounds, three to five days are about the same, those that break tendons and bones. Need to recuperate for a long time, as early as a few days ago Lu Haoshan had sent someone to carry them to the nearby county town to recuperate, as far as the conditions are concerned, of course, the conditions in the city are better, Lu Haoshan felt depressed, and these soldiers with strong blood and strength will also be bored, so he pushed Li Dingguo to come and ask questions.

Zhao Gongchang also whispered: "My lord, General Deng also sent someone to ask when our department would set off, saying that he had missed the great cause of suppressing bandits. ”

Lu Haoshan proposed to Cao Wenzhao, surrounded and divided the peasant rebels with official roads and passes, and also planned a battle plan, from the day of reaching a tacit understanding, the plan has been launched, but he and Lao Huihui encountered a hand-to-hand fight, and he did not reach the designated position for a long time, Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew were not in a hurry, and the deputy general Deng who was eager to make meritorious service was in a hurry.

"Are the soldiers healed from their wounds?"

"It's almost all raised" Zhao Gongchang said with a serious face: "These are all iron-clad men, and they are not young ladies who don't leave the boudoir in three steps, so you don't have to spoil them too much." ”

It's time to go, Lu Haoshan nodded secretly, although he has been stationed here and recuperating these days, but the "homework" has not been left behind, and the intelligence team trained by one hand has continuously sent a steady stream of information about Lao Huihui to Lu Haoshan.

And what made Lu Haoshan feel speechless the most was that on the way back, a force named Jin Qinghu was recruited, and now there are 2,202 to 2,050 people in the tiger battalion, and thousands of people have been recruited to serve as his cannon fodder.

Extreme weather, a corrupt imperial court, and a corrupt history of corrupt officials provided an incomparably fertile soil for the "rebellion", and the people who were exploited and oppressed could be said to respond to Lao Hui and others, and this was the truth that the uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty were repeatedly suppressed.

Lu Haoshan stood up and said with a straight face: "It's time to go, okay, since that's the case, let's set off tomorrow, pack up my things tonight, and set off tomorrow on the fourth shift and the fifth shift." ”

"Yes, sir." Zhao Gongchang and Li Dingguo responded in unison.

The matter of departure was determined in a few words, and when he was about to go out, Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is still something I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Say, don't spit out." Lu Haoshan said with some unhappiness.

The most annoying thing is to say that half endure and half endure, as if deliberately hanging people's appetite.

Li Dingguo hurriedly said: "Today, the local Li Zheng found a villain and asked if he could send some soldiers to help them repair the road, he was willing to pay the wages, and the treatment was quite good, 30 yuan per person per day plus two steamed buns. ”

Lu Haoshan pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, when will the soldiers of Wenchong Qianhu and my soldiers of Lu Haoshan lack this little money?" Reject him. ”

"The little one thinks that these may hinder the training, and besides, the brothers are not short of dozens of dollars, so they have politely refused on the spot, and they just reported it to the adults." Li Dingguo said respectfully.

"Good job" Lu Haoshan praised, and asked casually: "Why is the road so urgent, and it is really strange to go to the army to hire soldiers to repair the road." ”

"My lord, it was the official road behind us, a few days ago it rained heavily, and the landslide didn't bury the road, and since then the carriage can't pass, someone has stepped on a small road, but it's very dangerous, pulling a horse can barely pass, but like a carriage can't pass, as for such a hurry, according to Lizheng, there is a big businessman who is in a hurry to transport a batch of goods to pass through here, he donated a sum of silver for the locals to repair the road, and said that the faster it is repaired, the more rewards, that's it, here is the door."

Zhao Gongchang added on the side: "I heard that thieves have robbed here a few times, and let the officers and soldiers scourge twice, those young people either fled or joined the bandits, or they had money and could not find young people to work, he was also shrewd to hit the idea to the troops, in fact, many generals are like this, they collect other people's money and call their subordinates as if they were their own long-term workers, anyway, the money is in his own pocket." ”

Big businessman?

Lu Haoshan's heart moved, and he asked, "Oh, have you heard that which big businessman is so generous and pays others to build roads?" ”

"Inquire clearly" Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Speaking of this person, adults will definitely not be unfamiliar, he is Fan Yongdou, the head of the Jiexiu Fan family, he gave three hundred taels of silver to repair the road, he is really generous, a few hundred taels said to donate it." ”

Fan Yongdou? WHEN LU HAOSHAN HEARD THIS, HE FELT A THRILL IN HIS HEART, AND A THOUGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME TO HIM: WHAT IS THIS SHAMELESS HAN JIAN GOING TO DO? A businessman can't afford to be unprofitable, and he is so kind to donate money to others to build roads?

It is estimated that it is for the sake of getting through guò as soon as possible, so that he is in such a hurry, why is he in such a hurry? And ready to send supplies to Houjin?

Fortunately, he asked casually, otherwise he would have missed this opportunity, Lu Haoshan decided that since he touched his hands, he would definitely not let him have a good time.

If you don't make him bloody, I'm really sorry for my conscience.

Lu Haoshan hesitated for a moment, and soon had an idea: "Dingguo, you are responsible for allocating the camp, let the brother pack up and leave on time tomorrow." ”

"Yes, sir." Li Dingguo took the order, turned around and walked out.

After Li Dingguo went out, Lu Haoshan instructed Zhao Gongchang again: "Then Fan Yongdou in order to get through Guò here, he does not detour or wait for the government to repair the road, but instead donates money to repair the road, there must be a demon when things go wrong, if the guess is right, Fan Yongdou's goods are on the other side of the landslide, Gongchang, you take a few people to sneak up at night, see what they are doing this time, and also, see what they are transporting." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a task, Zhao Gongchang's face suddenly became focused, nodded to Lu Haoshan, and turned around to pick someone to carry out the task

It was night, when it was almost the third watch, Zhao Gongchang, who was out on a mission, gently walked into Lu Haoshan's handsome camp with a tired look, and whispered Lu Haoshan up and said, "My lord, the villain has already reconnoitred clearly." ”

Lu Haoshan sat up all of a sudden, and asked eagerly, "Oh, what is it pretending to?" ”

"There are a lot of things" Zhao Gongchang said with some excitement: "There are food, weapons, gold medicine, armor, etc., all of which are military supplies, and there are more than 100 cars, which is a big deal." ”

"Shanxi's leading big businessman, can his movements be small?" Lu Haoshan said with a sneer.

Zhao Gongchang suddenly said with an angry face: "My lord, the little one overheard, these are the materials that the surnamed Fan is going to smuggle to Houjin, and the reason why they didn't make a detour is that an official they paid off was transferred to the front pass, so they would rather pay for the road than make a detour." ”

Speaking of the scene he overheard, Zhao Gongchang looked excited, and his eyes were red. (To be continued......)
