Chapter 42: The Prince's Bribe

"My lord, what should you do with these bandits?" When they rushed back to Tuquan, Li Chengwen and Chen Shengwu had already taken the county king's mansion, or the Mongolian bandits in the county king's mansion saw that there was no hope of breaking through, and even the main force of Baiyin Dalai was defeated.

Li Chengwen had used to be a beard in Liaozhong, and he was very proficient in punishing people, and he was worried that these bandits would be energetic and make trouble, so he let them strip off their coats and give them only a small amount of food per meal. When Qin Yu came back, the more than 340 captured Meng bandits were all blue at this time, cold and hungry.

"Give them back the clothes, and expect them to go to Taonan to rebuild the destroyed things, and next year Tuntian will be able to use them, and they won't freeze out." Qin Yu was not afraid of what waves these people would make.

"Have you counted the things?" Ignoring the gratitude of these bandits, Qin Yu asked again.

"My lord went to see it for himself, we seized those white noodles before, and the cotton noodles were already very happy, but I didn't expect that compared with the things in the county king's mansion, it was far behind." Speaking of the things seized from the capture of the county king's mansion, Li Chengwen looked mysterious and happy.

A little downwind to the south, a large number of soldiers with knives were dismembering the horses that had been killed in the battle, and although the horses were dead, the horse meat was a good fellow. No one can eat too much meat.

Entering the county king's mansion, seeing the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him, Qin Yu's eyes also flashed a trace of surprise, but he didn't expect that Bai Yinda had robbed a lot of things, some gold and silver utensils used by the Mongolian prince, as well as silver taels and copper dollars looted from Taonan Mansion City, a few waist-high wooden boxes, and a few calligraphy and paintings.

"My lord, the humble position has already been weighed, except for the copper coins, there are 24,730 taels of gold and 54,000 taels of silver." Li Chengwen said.

In the county king's mansion, the warehouse is piled up like a hill of grain, white flour, and a lot of meat.

"It seems that these Mongolian princes are quite rich, and they are almost cheaper than Baiyin Dalai." Qin Yu took a small yellow croaker and flipped it in his hand, then threw it back and said, "The gold and silver are sealed." All the things will be shipped back to Taonan City tomorrow. ”

Bai Yinda came to gather only 11,200 people, and after the two battles, almost all of them were reimbursed, and it was already expected that Taonan Mansion City was taken by Tian Helin at this time.

"Yes, sir!"

"By the way, how many horses did we get together this time?" Qin Yu asked.

"In addition to the previous one, after the occupation of the county king's mansion, 753 horses were captured together, and more than 200 were killed, which could only be used to improve the food for the soldiers." Li Chengwen said.

"Very well, with these horses, it will be much easier to do things later." Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction, Qin Yu had been dormant in Heishui Town for more than half a year before, in addition to not knowing much about the situation, the biggest disadvantage was the lack of horses, how could he outrun the superb riding bandits on two legs? The bandits can fight if they want to, and they can leave if they want to, Qin Yu can't help the other party at all, and after more than half a year of hard work, he pulled up eight hundred horses, which is still a large amount of money allocated by Fengtian. At present, more than 700 horses have been captured at one time, and the number of cavalry that Qin Yu can pull out at any time has reached more than 1,500 people. This is probably the largest cavalry in the Northeast Qing army so far. Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng, and Feng Delin's patrol troops rushed over, and they also had to encounter the problems that Qin Yu had encountered before, and they had undoubtedly taken the lead in clearing out the Mongolian bandits. Its significance is greater than this gold, which is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Such a large amount of money cannot be used casually, otherwise it is very easy to make people blush. Qin Yu is not short of money now.

"My lord, there are a few attendants of Prince Lallal from the central banner of the right wing of Horqin outside, asking to see him." Ding Cheng walked over and said.

"Prince Lallal's squire? I'll take a look. Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

Out of the door, two middle-aged men with beards were already waiting there, "On the order of the prince, I came to meet Lord Qin, and congratulate Lord Qin on recovering Taonan Mansion City and making great achievements!" ”

"It's nothing trivial, Prince Lallal sent you, what's the matter?" Qin Yu got straight to the point, the news of these Mongolians was really fast, Bai Yinda was defeated on the front foot, and they rushed over on the back foot.

"Lord Qin defeated the main force of Baiyin Dalai, and the prince specially sent a villain to congratulate him, and sent 20 cattle, 50 horses, 300 sheep, and 1,000 acres of pasture. He hopes to have a permanent friendship with Lord Qin, and when the likes of Tao Ke Tao Hu and others commit another crime in the future, the prince hopes to fight the rebels together with Lord Qin. The Mongolian man in front of him said respectfully.

"Prince Lallal is too polite, I am busy with military affairs now, I don't have time to visit him for the time being, you can help me bring a word, if there are traitors who offend Prince Lallal in the future, I will personally lead the troops over." Qin Yu squinted his eyes and smiled, Qin Yu didn't look down on this bit of wealth, these cattle and sheep were worth a few thousand taels of silver, as for 1,000 acres of grassland, 10,000 acres, it looked like a very large place, but if it was really placed on the vast Horqin grassland, 10,000 acres would be very small. This time to recover Taonanfu City, Bai Yinda was defeated, and the grassland that Qin Yu could get his hands on, the wasteland was far more than that, and if it was less, there were tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhang Zuolin and Wu Junsheng in history, these people who have cleared out Mongolian bandits on the grassland, how many acres of grassland they have, it is estimated that they themselves do not know very well, in short, they can't see the end at a glance.

The people who sent Prince Lallal rested in Tuquan for a night, and the next day, Qin Yu rushed to Taonan Mansion City with a large team of men and horses, transporting a cart of things.

Before arriving at the gate of the city, Tian Helin waited there early and looked out from the city wall.

"Brother Xuguang, which one are you singing about, it's not because you're afraid that we will lose the battle." Qin Yu smiled when he saw Tian Helin who came out of the city to greet him.

"Your Excellency, you're finally back. How can the lowly position be in the mood to joke with you, if you don't come back, the lowly position is afraid that he will have to move back to Blackwater Town. Tian Helin said.

"Bai Yin Da Lai has been driven away, what else can be a big deal?" Qin Yu asked.

"Bai Yin Da Cheng robbed things too hard in Taonan Fu City, and many people's food for the winter was robbed, and after he led the troops into the city, before he could be appeased, three or four families hanged themselves because of the lack of food. As for those rich households, there is basically nothing left of anything valuable, the original magistrate has a bit of backbone, he did not escape, and was executed by the bandits, and now this mess must be dealt with by someone. Tian Helin complained.

"This Baiyin Da Lai, don't commit it in my hands, otherwise you will kill him alive." Qin Yu's face turned cold, "I have snatched back a lot of grain from Tuquan, you can arrange it immediately, set up a few grain points in the city, and I will ask the Governor for help, I think he will not sit idly by and ignore the situation here." ”

"Yes, sir."
