After Shi Dayong promised to leave Chen's belongings, his subordinates suddenly became energetic.

Qi Sanbao's proposal to check the captives' goods was immediately implemented, but it was not he Qi Sanbao who led people to clear the goods, but Li Dashan and Shao Wu who led people to carry out the search.

Jiang Wanli led people to transport the goods that Chen sometimes had stolen from Haixing County to that courtyard, and it could be filled with more than a dozen boxes by visual inspection, and most of them were gold, and the amount of silver was very small. Among these goods, there is a Buddha statue made of pure gold, which is said to have been built by Zhang Guowei, the richest man in Haixing City, to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Now it's a good thing, this golden Buddha did not bring the blessing of the Buddha to Zhang's mother, but attracted the butcher's knife of the rebels, and all 260 people in Zhang's house were killed, and Zhang's mansion was also burned to the ground. The fire burned for two days.

The captives were glad not to die. If there is no life for money and wealth, what is the use of money. Therefore, the inventory of Li Dashan and Shao Wu went quite smoothly. Although some of the captives hid a number of them privately, the overall amount of gold and silver surrendered was also very staggering.

Finally, after counting, there were more than 16,000 taels of gold and less than 10,000 taels of silver. In addition, there are some objects, and even a batch of calligraphy and paintings, because the Jinzhou army did not know how to do it, so it could not estimate the value, so it was temporarily stored in two boxes, and then found someone to sell it after returning to Jinzhou after the Shandong Rebellion ended.

According to Shi Dayong's preferences and vision, at this time, he put a genuine "Qingming Riverside Picture" in front of him, but I am afraid that he will throw it away.

The exchange ratio of gold and silver was one to eleven, that is, Chen's rebels provided the Jinzhou army with a huge amount of nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

When Shi Dayong was appointed to the Songshan garrison, the soldiers' salaries were seven taels a year per person, and the total salary of his Songshan army was only more than 15,000 taels a year.

And one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, and one pound of meat is only six cents. (Author's note: Chongzhen four years of Liaodong prices)

With these 200,000 taels of silver, it means that Shi Dayong can expand his soldiers and horses to 10,000, and then without a tael of silver from the imperial court, he can be self-reliant for more than two years.

It's not that I don't know the way, but I'm really shocked when I calculate it. It feels good to have silver.

Shi Dayong now has no guilt of hiding dirty silver, and what he is thinking about is how to convert this gold and silver into real combat power.

In addition, Shi Dayong couldn't make up his mind about how to arrange the prisoners, and when he was discussing with Cao Bianjiao and Jiang Wanli, Guo Yi hurriedly came to report, saying that he had found more than 20 scholars

These more than 20 scholars were literati captured by Chen Shi, including Ge Wenying, a person from Wuqiaoju, Zheng Shijin, Zhou Bingmao and others from Qingxian County.

When Zhao Xueqi and Qi Sanbao decided to fight anyway, Ge Wenying and the others didn't know about Lu Dao, only that the Lu Dao rebels suddenly left the town. By the time the Jinzhou army entered the town, they still didn't know what was going on.

Chen sometimes arranged them in the second house of the former big family in the west of the town, but late at night, the Jinzhou army, who had just slaughtered a thousand prisoners, did not search in detail, so they did not know that there were such scholars in the town. Zhao Xueqi went to Wang Tiande's department to persuade him to surrender, and Qi Sanbao also forgot about this stubble, so it was not until the Jinzhou army began to check the town that Ge Wenying and they were discovered.

When the soldiers saw the scholars, especially those who knew the Dao, they would rather die than follow the thieves, so they naturally respected them very much. Li Dashan asked someone to take them to the general, and bumped into Guo Yi on the way, so Guo Yi brought the people here.

"Dare to ask where the general is? So that the students can repay the grace of saving their lives in the future! ”

Seeing Shi Dayong and Ge Wenying, they were all a little scared, because they hadn't seen the military generals wearing masks yet.

After being stunned for a moment, Fang You Ge Wenying asked. Along the way, I heard that the accent of the official army was not local to Hebei, and it looked like soldiers and horses from other places, but I didn't know which soldier it was.

Shi Dayong got up and said: "This general is Shi Dayong, a staff general under the governor of Liaodong." ”

"It turned out to be the Liao Army!"

Hearing that it was soldiers and horses from outside the Guan, Ge Wenying and the others were a little surprised, obviously not expecting that the imperial court would transfer the Liao army into the Guan.

The most famous of these people is Ge Wenying, but he is only a lifter, and he has not been awarded an official, so they can't see the Tang report of the imperial court, and they are affected by Kong Youde's rebellion, so the prefecture and county captured by the rebels do not know the news of Jinzhou's victory. But Rao is so, and the appearance of the Liao army is still very shocking to them.

The Liao army has been outside the pass for a long time, and the Dongyu has fought hundreds of battles, this combat effectiveness is naturally not comparable to the soldiers and horses in the pass, and along the way, I saw with my own eyes that the Liao army is different from ordinary soldiers and horses, Ge Wenying sincerely sighed: "The Liao army is really brave, I am not as good as the soldiers and horses in the north, it is not as good as it!" ”

"Can't compare, can't compare at all"

The rest of the people also nodded and saluted, they had heard of it before, but today they saw it in person, this Liao soldier is really good at fighting, compared to other soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, but it is too strong.

Shi Dayong smiled and nodded, his attitude was okay, but he didn't say anything to them.

As a result, the atmosphere is a little awkward and quite cold.

Ge Wenying didn't know what to say, so she had to ask, "Thief Chen sometimes leads his troops to run away?" ”

Shi Dayong replied: "Thief Chen has asked his subordinates to shoot him. ”

"Huh?!"

At this moment, a group of scholars were so shocked that their mouths opened, and they couldn't close for a long time, and when they were half-loud, Ge Wenying said with great admiration: "Liao Junguo is the first military town of my Ming Dynasty, and the general is really a heavenly general, a heavenly general."

"Chen thief trapped me in many places in the north of Zhili, the officers and soldiers can't stop it, I wait for Wang Shi to come to the rescue, but every time I see Wang Shi avoid fighting, if it is not for the general to come, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the poisonous hands of Chen thief!" Zheng Shijin looked grateful.

Shi Dayong didn't answer, just watched there, and no one knew whether he was happy or angry at this time. It was a lot of anxiety to see a bunch of readers.

Ge Wenying hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder how long the general will stay here?" ”

Shi Dayong said: "At the latest, I will go east to Denglai tomorrow." ”

"Leaving tomorrow?" Everyone was shocked, obviously lingering, worried that as soon as the Liao army left, the rebels would make a comeback.

Seeing this, Shi Dayong comforted them and said: "You can rest assured that the Confucian thieves are already in Denglai, and there are no rebels here, so you don't have to worry about the rebels entering the territory of Beizhili again." ”

Hearing this, Ge Wenying and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were a lot more steady.

Shi Dayong suddenly said: "The general still has military affairs, if you have nothing to do, you can do it yourself." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that they had been rescued and could go home!

After thanking them again, the readers were about to go home with gratitude, and Shi Dayong suddenly stopped them and said, "Oh, by the way, any of you want to go to Shang County?" ”

"The student wants to go to Shang County, but the general has something to do?" Ge Wenying looked back.

Shi Dayong said to him: "Can you bring a message to the eunuch Gao Gonggong of Jingying in Shang County?" ”

Ge Wenying nodded hurriedly: "General, please say, the students must bring it." ”

Shi Dayong said: "You tell Gonggong Gao that my Jinzhou army will go east tomorrow, and ask him to send someone to take over the defense of Shahe." ”

Ge Wenying nodded in response and said goodbye immediately. After the group of scholars left, Shi Dayong asked Cao Bianjiao and Jiang Wanli: "Have you discussed it?" ”
