Chapter 718 Spending money to buy intelligence
But Hadan Batel, a Mongolian green-skinned scoundrel, is not as good as the Han green-skinned scoundrel, he doesn't dare to offend the Han people at all, and often a soldier of the Ming army dares to play tricks on the commander of the Ming Dynasty for fun. And Hadanbatel is just constantly breaking through his own shameless lower limit. So by now, his reputation in the Ming army is completely stinky.
But on the other hand, Hadanbatar was also concerned about the Mongols living in Guancheng. Most of the money he received went to these poor Mongols, so the Mongols also made him their leader.
And today, when Hadan Baatar heard that another general soldier of the guest army had come to Shanhaiguan, he wanted to try his luck with Wu Shigong. In case Wu Shigong believed him and asked him to sell a few fake information, then Hadan Baatar would be able to live a precarious life again.
But Wu Shigong didn't know Hadan Battle's dirty thoughts. In his opinion, a comrade in the military must always have a basic courtesy when visiting. So Chang Qiu avoided it very interestingly, and Wu Shigong also tidied up his clothes, stood up from his chair, and waited for Hadan Battle to come in.
But as soon as he saw Hadan Batel entering the door, Wu Shigong's eyes widened. It's not that Hadan Baatel is not disheveled, his four-grade military attache robes, although shabby, are also quite clean; It's not that Hadan Baatel has a sloppy appearance, except for the beard on his face, his whole person is clean, and he doesn't have the heavy body odor of the Mongols. But when he came in, he was very petty, and he looked particularly obscene, and he didn't have the image of an official at all.
But people can't look good, and Wu Shigong can't show a look of contempt, so he still bowed very politely and said, "Master Ha!" When this official first arrived in Liaodong, he still needs the help of his colleagues, and he can see my lord today. It's really a blessing for three lives! ”
Unexpectedly, Hadan Baatle didn't return the salute at all, or rather, he didn't return a normal salute according to his identity at all, he immediately knelt on the ground, and in Wu Shigong's stunned, he kowtowed three times, and then spoke in a fluent Liaodong accent Mandarin, and said in a loud voice: "Xiaguan to meet your lordship, I wish your lord a victory and success!" ”
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Wu Shigong was caught off guard by Hadan Batel's unconventional etiquette. He hurriedly beckoned around and said, "Hurry up and show Lord Ha a seat and serve tea!" ”
got the respect of Hadan Battle, regardless of whether he was true or not, Wu Shigong's heart was always a little comfortable, so his attitude towards Hadan Battle was also kind.
After the two of them started talking. Wu Shigong suddenly discovered that Hadan Batel was very talkative. After a little familiarization, Hadanbaatle spoke for nearly half an hour without pause. Don't say it either. Wu Shigong also likes to listen to what he said. Because Hadan Batel is talking about the customs outside the border.
In fact, Hadan Baatel is familiar with these words, he eats by mouth, and if he doesn't have that effort, how can he deceive the guest generals who are not familiar with his details? And his remarks also focus on three aspects:
First of all, of course, is the "personal experience" of Hadan Battle, anyway, he has participated in every big war, and in the big war, he is often an important role. are all the right-hand men of the commander of the Ming army, and those war scenes, Hadan Batel also said that they are turbulent and exciting, that is, to give Wu Shigong a Hadan Baatar is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. And the illusion of a very important general.
Then there is his exalted position in the Mongol tribes. what the people embraced; Desperately followed, anyway, those who don't know the details of Hadan Bater, after hearing these words, will think that Hadan Batel has high prestige and great Shili in the Mongolian tribes, and has a huge network.
In fact, these words are not completely nonsense, but the prestige and shili of Hadan Batar are only limited to the hundreds of Mongolian old and weak women and children in the Shanhaiguan City, and other than that, they have no influence at all.
Zuihou, of course, deepened the impression on Wu Shigong. So Hadan Batel began to talk about the gossip of the Manchu Qing and Mongolia outside the Guan. A certain prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty robbed a concubine of a Han Chen; A Mongol tribe went to war over water and meadows; A certain Mongolian tribal leader was willing to give up as many cows and sheep as he wanted to marry a beautiful girl. Anyway, this performance shows the quality of a qualified paparazzi member of Hadanbaatelle.
Hadan Batel just wanted to hint to Wu Shigong: How well I know the situation of the Manchus and Mongolia outside the Guanwai! If you want to know, buy it with money quickly.
And Wu Shigong listened to it with relish at first, but after listening to it for a while, he found that he didn't hear any useful news. Wu Shigong wanted to listen to political and military news, but Hadan Batel opened an entertainment channel, which made Wu Shigong feel like he had pressed the wrong remote control.
Therefore, after listening for a while, Wu Shigong interrupted Hadan Battle's mouth foaming and asked, "Master Ha! Do you know how many Tartars are there in Jinzhou? ”
In fact, while Hadan Baatel said, he also looked at Wu Shigong's face, he had long been looking forward to Wu Shigong interrupting the topic and asking about the situation in Liaodong. So upon hearing this, Hadan Baatar was really relieved.
"My lord! This time, I heard that Jiannu was dispatched by the whole army to besiege Jinzhou, and even some thieves who defected to Jiannu with their conscience went to help. There was a man named Zack in the Xiaguan tribe who disguised himself as a groom and blended into the team of thieves who surrounded Jinzhou. But his family members who stayed with Xia Guan were bitter and ....... After making a start, Hadanbaatle began to babble about the miserable life of the family named Zach.
"How many are there?" Wu Shigong finally couldn't stand Hadan Battle's nagging and interrupted him again.
"Every time the lower officials send people out to investigate, some of them always fall into the hands of Jiannu, and their pensions are always borne by the lower officials, and they can't leave the families of those people behind. It's also difficult to get off the official......" As if he hadn't heard Wu Shigong's question, Hadan Batel still sighed to himself and sighed for his bitter experience.
Wu Shigong immediately understood what Hadan Batel meant, didn't he just want to spend money to buy intelligence? Wu Shigong is not disgusted by this, if he can buy some useful information, it is also quite worthwhile.
"How much?" So Wu Shigong asked bluntly.
But these words made Hadan Battle's eyes light up, and then his eyelids jumped. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly that some tricks were used to achieve their goals. And Wu Shigong obviously seemed to be a rich man, so Hadan Batel considered his rhetoric and wanted to deceive him a little more. (To be continued......)
