Chapter 47: Mercenaries

Everyone flew out of the bank.

All the way is gossip, since then, the incident of Daxing Qianzhuang has spread among the recruits, the money village that has been full of birds, there is not even a person who goes in to see the excitement, here has become a legend, can go in either rich or expensive, ordinary people don't think about it.

……

Outside the palace, an abandoned private house, the owner has long since fled.

In the room, a tall man said, "Brother Sun, junior brother, I'm here to introduce you to business." ”

Sun Shixiong is overjoyed, every time Yang Xin comes to find himself, he can make a lot of money, now Yang Xin is his own God of Wealth, and he has earned no less than 8,000 taels of silver from him, and now he is also a rich man in Liu Zongmin's army.

"Brother Yang's business always makes me look forward to it, come and hear about it?"

Sun Shixiong was a little impatient.

Yang Xin pretended to be mysterious and said, "Brother Sun, junior brother, I want to buy something from you." ”

Sun Shixiong laughed and said, "Brother Yang, don't sell Guanzi, is it still a musket this time?" ”

Yang Xin shook his head and said, "I don't want muskets this time, I want to buy people, buy elite cavalry!" ”

Sun Shixiong felt that he was hallucinating, his eyes widened, and he asked, "What does Brother Yang mean by this?" ”

Yang Xin said calmly: "Brother, I want to buy forty elite cavalry from Brother Sun, serve in our army for two months, each person rings fifty taels per month, everyone eats horses and chews by my brother, the weapon comes with me, brother I can be responsible for replenishing the consumable arrows, after the battle, the weapon is damaged brother, I am responsible for replacing or repairing it, but all the spoils of the battle within two months belong to me, during which the basic military regulations of our army must be observed, the condition is that, Brother Sun, you can make a price." ”

Sun Shixiong was still very confused when he heard it, and said, "Brother Yang, what are the military regulations in your army?" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "This Sun brother doesn't have to worry too much, as long as they don't do some murder and arson and harassment of the people in these two months, everything is under my orders, our army is very strict, but we will not ask too much of them, and will never send them as cannon fodder to do those dangerous tasks that kill and die, if they encounter such an order, they can refuse to carry it out." ”

Sun Shixiong was completely relieved and said, "Isn't this similar to inviting a temporary bodyguard?" ”

Yang Xin shook his head and said: "Unlike bodyguards, bodyguards only need to protect the main general and property, and they also need to charge into battle, normal battles must be participated, and they can't retreat from the battle, otherwise, I want to deduct money, I want a temporary army." ”

Sun Shixiong thought about it and probably understood, so he said: "It's good to say, our brothers are charging into battle, isn't it just for the silver, where is the money to fight?" What's more, it's only done for two months, which is temporary, but it's just that so many people are transferred, brother, I still need to have some relationship with the above, and the cost is not small, at least ...... At least five thousand taels! ”

He spread five fingers as he spoke.

"Okay, deal!"

Yang Xin was very simple and said: "But I want to be elite, Brother Sun is an old customer, you can't just find some people to prevaricate, this time the business is done, and we can cooperate for a long time in the future." ”

Sun Shixiong laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry, wait, meet here tomorrow, and I will bring someone to you." ”

Sun Shixiong happily went back to the palace camp, fifty taels a month, such a high military salary for his soldiers who were afraid that they would rush to do it, and they didn't worry about it at all.

As for the so-called dotted relationship, it is pure nonsense, the discipline of the Dashun army is sloppy, and there are mountains below, and the people and horses under their respective hands are basically pulled up by the master, or a group of people who robbed together at the beginning, and launched a powerful boss and brought everyone to make a fortune, so he just needs to stuff a few hundred taels into his generals casually, and the rest is all his own, and the above will not check at all.

This time, I can earn more than 4,000 taels, which is much faster than robbery, and I don't have to take the risk myself.

……

When Yang Xin led these fierce cavalry back to Temple Street, his heart finally settled down a lot, with this cavalry, he could form an effective battle formation when encountering the enemy, and the cavalry could not be used by sentry spies at night.

Although the price is not cheap, it will cost nine thousand taels of silver, but it is still cost-effective to set up such an elite army by oneself, even if it is such a war horse, one will cost a hundred taels of silver, and forty horses will be four or five thousand taels, not to mention that the usual military salaries and equipment for them are all money.

The key is that he doesn't have time to train, train a qualified cavalryman, don't think about it for more than three months, but to be elite, it is estimated that half a year and a year may not be possible, how many battles have to be experienced in the middle, and the real elite are crawling out of the pile of dead.

In this way, after more than ten days, Yang Xin went out early and returned late, trained frantically, and from time to time used the elites he bought to practice tactical cooperation with his musketeers, and let these veterans guide their soldiers to conduct simple melee training.

These people have bad morals, but their strength should not be underestimated, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and the murderous aura on their bodies is terrifying when they see recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

Yang Xin prepared a rented separate house for them to live in, so as not to let them take bad children, eat and drink every day, and only call them to practice and guide every other day, but these people are happy, with a high military salary, the food is much better than the palace, they don't have to rob, but the income is higher than the robbery, so what else is there to complain about?

You just can't go out and rape! Lewd people, but Yang Xin allowed them to go to the Qinglou, which is not uncomfortable, after all, the women in the Qinglou are better at coaxing men to be happy than ordinary people, and the twisted melons are not sweet.

……

"It's time to plan your escape!"

In the side hall of the temple, the princess's room, Yang Xin was discussing with the princess behind closed doors, and his room was next door to the princess.

The princess was looking at the account at the table, and when she heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "What is Brother Yang's plan?" When are we leaving? ”

Yang Xin didn't answer, and asked, "How much grain do we have left that hasn't been sold?" ”

The princess thought for a moment and said, "There is probably less than a third left, and we have to keep some for our own use, and it will be sold out in about seven days, and it has been sold for more than 750,000 taels of silver." ”

Yang Xin nodded and said, "After selling the grain and sending Chen Yuanyuan away, we will wait until the Dashun army escapes and take the opportunity to slip away on the road, so that we will not leave a future for the people who stay in the capital." ”

It is unlikely that they will escape in advance, and the Dashun army will not let them out of the city, even if they can get out of the city, the Dashun army will definitely find trouble with the families who stay.

"Brother Yang, why didn't those Manchu lackeys come to pick up Chen Yuanyuan? Hasn't the city been settled down for so long now? ”

The princess hated the people of the Fan family very much, so naturally she would not have any nice names.

"I don't know about this, I can't contact them, she came to me, I think it should be soon, now let's discuss the escape route."
