Chapter 321: Urgency
After weeping, he gathered his men and horses and retreated back to the tribe in defeat.
Butile's body was pulled back.
The defeat of this battle caused mental malaise, and he was severely frightened on the battlefield and provoked and humiliated by the Daqi sergeants, and died of a serious illness within two months.
Win!
And there were not a single dead or wounded!
This is something that Chen Jun never thought of before, he thought that fighting against an alien army in the field, even if he could win, would be a miserable victory, but he didn't want to ...... The end result made Chen Jun think he was dreaming.
There are more than 8,000 people on the other side, and only 4,000 on his own, which is definitely a big victory!
When he recovered from his disbelief, Chen Jun immediately commanded his men to clean up the battlefield.
Know that the horses, the weapons and armor, and the heads of the aliens are all silver!
In the past, Chen Jun always led troops to defend the city, how much loot could he have?
Even if you hold the city, when the opponent retreats, they will take away the corpses, mounts, and armor and weapons of their comrades.
And now, be sure to take the opportunity to grab some more.
Chen Jun was very excited, this battle not only defeated the alien army, but also made a big fortune.
It's just that he underestimated the sergeants brought by He Huan.
He Huan's subordinates are considered to be the elite of the border army, not only fierce in battle, but also unusually familiar with cleaning the battlefield, Chen Jun's subordinates have to hear the order, before going down the mountain to clean up the battlefield, and these border troops do not need He Huan's orders at all, when the alien army has just escaped from the Lu, they will slide down the hill to grab the spoils.
The speed at which the spoils of war were collected was like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
"This one is mine!"
A small sergeant raised his steel knife and, with a pop, cut off the head of the corpse at his feet. The corpse was already mutilated, and the blood in its body was almost gone, so the head was cut off and no blood was spurted.
"Ha Luha, it's another five hundred dollars!"
The bloody scene at the foot of the mountain was played out over and over again.
Although the people on the side of Lingtong County have undergone some training, they saw the soldiers of the border army laughing and cutting off the heads of the alien soldiers with knives without hesitation, their faces were still pale, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts, and this extremely bloody scene still made some people bend over and vomit.
Jiang Longzhi's face was calm.
Watching the heads of the dead corpses of the alien race being cut off one by one, and even sometimes several sergeants covered in blood would fight, fight, and push over the dead corpse of the alien.
I took a deep breath and let out a long exhale, only to feel that the boredom in my chest had improved.
After cleaning up the battlefield statistics, a total of 4,600 enemies were annihilated, and there were no prisoners.
In fact, the aliens who did not lose their breath were all mended by the border soldiers.
1,350 horses were captured, and the number of dead and wounded horses was large, and these horses would not be wasted, and all of them were pulled back to cook.
A few scimitar leather coats.
Jiang Long, He Huan, Chen Jun, He Bu and others gathered to discuss the distribution of the spoils.
"Whoever grabs it is whoever." He Huan said with a big grin, this big victory, the harvest is really not small.
Although he often led his troops to fight against foreign armies, unless it was a large-scale battle, the two sides rarely fought to the death, and after the suicide general's heavy blow to the aliens, there was never a real major battle.
Besides, when the other party saw that it was not good, he pulled out his horse and fled, but he couldn't catch up at all, so naturally he didn't gain much.
It's like this time...... It must have been posted!
Chen Jun was dissatisfied when he heard this, his men could not compare with He Huan's men, and he ordered late, although there were also a thousand people, but not much loot was found.
Whoever grabs it is whoever's, and he is naturally unwilling to do so with such a distribution method.
However, He Huan's level was much higher than him, but he didn't dare to refute it face-to-face.
just looked at Jiang Long, hoping that Jiang Long would speak up.
Jiang Long and He Bu brought less loot, after all, these sergeants are still just newcomers, and they are all rushing to cut off their heads, but they have corpses under their feet but dare not cut them, can this be compared?
Therefore, most of the people here in Lingtong County have harvested scimitars and a small number of war horses.
It's a pity that Jiang Long disappointed Chen Jun, and just said: "You have to hand over some to the imperial court." ”
"Forget about the rest, but the war horse must be handed in more, otherwise some people will be red-eyed." Why don't you whisper.
"Hmm."
He Huan also understands that he has won the battle and gained a lot, but if he eats meat by himself, he has to let the upper side drink some soup, and if he takes their benefits, those people will turn a blind eye, otherwise they will be held accountable, after all, they have violated military regulations.
In the end, after discussion, 1,000 war horses were handed over.
Chen Jun sullenly conveyed the order and asked his subordinates to send the war horses over.
Among the trophies, in fact, the war horse is the most expensive, just one horse is worth dozens of taels of silver.
But the imperial court is indeed quite strict with the control of war horses.
His subordinates had only grabbed more than 300 war horses, but they had to give up 250 horses and hand them over to the imperial court.
The remaining seven hundred and fifty war horses were naturally taken out by He Huan.
As for Lingtong County, there was almost no loot, mainly because of lack of experience and lack of ruthlessness.
Then several people unified their caliber again, and then the team was reorganized and marched to Hewu County.
In the evening, the procession entered the city.
Suddenly, the people in Hewu County went crazy.
Hearing that there was a great victory, more than 4,000 foreign soldiers were annihilated, these people jumped and jumped, running and cheering, every year Hewu County is very easy to attract horse bandits and alien squads because of the terrain, I don't know how many people died tragically.
This time, the imperial court won a great battle and avenged their deceased relatives!
How can they not be happy, unhappy, not excited?
Laughing, shouting, I don't know when, tears have wet my face.
The army was stationed in the county town that night and left early the next morning.
At night, Jiang Long met with He Huan to discuss the mining of coal in the house, He Huan was very concerned about this matter, and finally decided to send someone to contact He Huan after Jiang Long dug out the coal and found a good convoy to load the goods.
At that time, He Huan asked his subordinates to take over, or lead the way, and let the convoy send the coal to the earthen fort at the forefront.
The next day, He Huan and Chen Jun both left, but Jiang Long did not.
He sent a large number of his men to inquire around to see where there were coal mines.
Coal mine is a thing that must be caught as soon as possible!
It's really not that hard!
Because no one knew what the coal was used for, it was only a black stone, and there was no provision about coal in the laws of the imperial court, although the Hewu County Decree had been folded, but it was impossible for the imperial court to respond in a short time without verification.
I don't know what the Tao is, how do you use the law to regulate it?
Jiang Long's way of wanting to include it in his pocket is very simple, just buy the land with coal mines.
The land is mine, and the coal mine below is naturally mine.
And in a remote place like Hewu County, who would have spent a lot of money to buy land here before?
Although He Ming, the county magistrate of Hewu County, knew the reason, Jiang Long asked him to hand over the fold, which had already made him receive a great credit, and he personally led troops over to help encircle and suppress horse bandits and alien squads, and he had to repay this favor.
With one eye open and one eye closed, he sold all the places where Jiang Long painted.
The one who bought the land was Hou Jiang who came from Lingtong County.
Jiang Long is an official, so naturally he can't blatantly buy land by himself.
Three days later, groups of strong men carried their burdens, or rode in carriages or on foot, and set off from Lingtong County to Hewu County.
Jiang Long sent people back to agitate and persuade those people who were already idle at home to come to Hewu County to dig coal mines, and the price offered was quite exciting.
And these strong men have nothing to do in winter, they nest in the pit all day long, or they fart and chat with people on the street, there is no income at home, only they can't go in and out, and most of them will not be idle at home if they can find a job to make money.
The people are simple and simple, and honest people occupy the vast majority.
These people walked in groups, walking and chatting.
"What is coal?"
"I've heard it's called coal, a black stone."
"Isn't there an errand officer who has done a test in front of the county yamen? It was like a stone, black and not slippery, but it could really be lit. ”
"I got close to it and roasted it, it was so warm."
"After the coal is dug up, I don't know if it will be sold?"
"I talked to an official and a gentleman, and he said that if he dug it up, he would sell it to the people cheaply, so that we could heat it in winter and cook it."
"Lord Jing is so nice!"
"Yes, with Master Jing, you can eat well, earn wages, and burn coal in winter, so you don't have to be frozen!"
These people are talking about Jiang Long's good words, but in the capital, Chang Qing, the secretary of the ministry, gritted his teeth and hated Jiang Long.
He received a letter from Pang Cheng'an's henchmen who hurriedly sent him eight hundred miles, and after opening it and reading it, he was terrified, the kid of the Jing family actually forcibly pulled his good grandson onto the battlefield, Chang Qing really likes this smart and handsome grandson.
Chang Qian is a concubine, not the eldest son, so Chang Qing naturally did not really have partiality to let Chang Qian inherit the foundation of the Chang family in the future.
But Chang Qian is his sister's grandson, and he feels sorry for his sister, so he also thinks that when the time comes, let Chang Qian go out of the house to stand on his own and start a new family business.
But now, he didn't know if there was any life that Chang Qian would be able to come back alive after he went to the battlefield.
In a hurry, the old fox also lost his sense of proportion, and immediately ran to the palace, crawled in front of the old emperor and cried loudly, telling Chang Qian's identity, mentioning that he felt guilty about his sister, and cried a lot, but although he cried sadly, the old emperor was not moved.
Instead, he was furious!
Chang Qing cried and said that he was ashamed of his sister, and his sister was ordered by the emperor to copy Chang Qing's sister's husband's house.
Do you dare to say this in front of the emperor now, is it a blatant dissatisfaction with me?
The old emperor scolded Chang Qing for a stinking meal.
Chang Qing was scolded before he came back to his senses, crawled on the ground and didn't dare to cry anymore.
After returning from the palace, Chang Qing smashed several teacups one after another, and scolded the maids who were standing aside to serve.
He wanted to sue Jiang Long, but he didn't want to be attacked by the emperor, and after the most attack, the old emperor also said that Jiang Long can go to the battlefield, and your grandson can't do anything?
Chang Qing really wanted to say, Jiang Long died as soon as he died, can he compare with his grandson?
But I didn't dare.
In the evening of the same day, a eunuch came to the Changfu to deliver the decree.
Xuan Changqian returned to Beijing, and sent Qian Dai, the grandson of Qian Quanyou, the secretary of the household department, to take Changqian's position.
