The fire in the camp outside Chunhua City burned for a whole day and a night, and finally slowly extinguished.

After the affairs in the city were properly arranged, Chen Wang led the only remaining 100 horsemen in the city to step out of the eastern city and march towards the camp of the army.

Zhao Huailiang coordinated the affairs of the city, and Hu Zhiyi went to Liaodong.

Hu Zhili was in charge of the military affairs outside the city, cleaned up the battlefield, collected the corpses, and collected the rout soldiers sent by Chen Gong to escort them back.

Now only Tang Shiping is left beside Chen Wang.

Although the war ended, because there were too few people who could dispatch the tribe, in addition to the pursuit of those who fled to the southeast, Chen Wang, who fled to Sanshui City, did not assign people to take charge.

Most of the troops who fled to Sanshui City were only old and weak in the battalion, and the threat was not great.

"The battlefield inside and outside the city has been cleaned up."

Tang Shiping rode a war horse and followed Chen Wang's side, reporting the gains to Chen Wang.

"One thousand six hundred and seventy-two collars of cloth armor, seven hundred and thirty-seven collars of chain mail, one thousand two hundred and twenty collars of cotton armor, one thousand seven hundred and seven pieces of cotton armor, and ......a thousand helmets and helmets of high bowls and hats were seized."

Tang Shiping's eyes lit up slightly, to be honest, he had seen such sufficient ordnance after fighting for so long.

So many ordnance is enough to arm a battalion of 3,000 soldiers.

The reason why there are so many cloth armors and arms coverings is that a large part of them are contributed by the Liao military camp under Zhang Waijia.

There is also a part of the battle loot captured by the invading army after the defeat of Ai Wannian and other troops in the Battle of Xiangle.

Although Chen Wang had expected it in his heart, he knew all these things.

But after hearing the report, my heart still throbbed involuntarily.

With so much armor, he could make all the soldiers under his command change into iron armor.

In the current situation, there is no talk of seizure and return.

All the captures in the battle were coordinated and deployed by the battalion itself.

Generally speaking, some unwanted things are reported as seizures, and the rest is all in their own pockets.

It takes money to raise soldiers, it costs money to support families, and everything related to fighting a war needs money.

However, the military salaries issued are decreasing year by year, and if the battalion commanders are not given some autonomy, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the troops who enter the army to survive.

Although the status of the battalion soldiers has not improved much, the status of the battalion commanders has improved to a certain extent.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, when Zuo Liangyu was in Huaiqing, he did not hand over any of the seizures, and no one even impeached him for this.

"How much the horses have gathered."

Chen Wang frowned and looked around at the scorched earth around him, the air filled with an unpleasant smell of burning, the smell of meat being roasted.

"At present, there are only more than 2,000 horses, and only 500 of them meet the standard of war horses, and the rest are horses.

There are three things for horses, one is called a horse, the second is a field horse, and the third is a horse.

A horse is a war horse, a field horse is a hunting horse, and a horse is a horse that is inferior in all respects.

Not all horses can be used as war horses, and war horses need good stamina and explosive power.

The difference between war horses and ordinary horses can be described as the difference between cloud and mud.

The soldiers are wearing sharp armor, and they can easily get more than 200 catties.

As the standard of war horses, it is also necessary to be able to carry armored soldiers to gallop and charge.

"The mules and donkeys captured nearly 2,000 horses, and at the foot of the North Mountain, Tangma found the mules and donkeys that had escaped from the camp in fright, and the army should have used these mules to transport supplies."

Hearing more than 2,000 war horses, Chen Wang's expression did not change.

But when he heard that there were mules and donkeys, Chen Wang's eyes were bright.

"If these horses and mules are sold, how much silver will they get for?"

Tang Shiping was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and replied.

"I'm afraid I can't handle it in Chunhua, Chunhua is a small county, and I can't eat so many goods."

"But ......"

Tang Shiping lowered his voice slightly.

"In the name of some merchants, they can be transported to Xi'an and sold."

"But maybe there are still some joints that need to be opened, and it will cost some silver taels."

Tang Shiping has also done reselling loot, and he is familiar with these things.

Chen Wang bowed slightly, he didn't understand these things very well, there were too many red tapes and doorways, and it took energy to understand.

"I'll leave all these things to you, can you arrange them properly?"

Many things don't need to be done by yourself, and it is appropriate to leave professional things to professional people.

"Please rest assured that Mr. Qian, the humble post will definitely handle this matter well."

Tang Shiping's heart trembled, suppressed the joy on his face, and lowered his voice.

"All the horses remained, and the rest of the horses were sold."

"Five hundred of the mules were left for the strongest of the physique, and the rest were sold."

Chen Wang didn't have the idea of leaving too many horses and mules behind.

Mules can be used to carry armaments, but the demand is limited.

War horses can enhance combat power, but horses are useless, but they still need to consume a lot of grain and grass, so it is better to sell them directly and exchange them for gold and silver.

There were more than 2,000 mules and horses, even if one horse was sold for only ten taels, it was enough to have 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver.

What is the concept of 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, which is converted into more than 1,400 catties of the city in later generations, and a small cart full of them.

At this time, the price of rice fluctuated between two or three taels, and so much silver could buy more than 10,000 stones.

A soldier consumes about four and five liters of food a month.

10,000 stone of grain is enough for the 1,800 soldiers under Chen Wang's command to eat for a whole year according to this specification.

However, Chen Wang was not immersed in the joy of getting twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, this huge wealth.

For right in front of him there was a wealth far greater than twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver.

The drawings sent by Gao Jie before marked many places in every detail, including the specific places where gold and silver were stored.

Li Zicheng attacked the two cities of Sanshui and Zhenning, and all the rich families in the two cities were destroyed, and Li Zicheng seized a large amount of gold and silver from the two cities.

Much of this gold and silver were stored in the camp.

A fire can burn down a tree tent and reduce it to ashes, but it can't completely burn gold or silver.

Even though most of the silver and gold plundered from the two cities had been divided, what remained was not a small amount.

Not far ahead, a large number of soldiers in armor were armed with swords and guns, guarding a piece of charred ruins.

They protect nature is not a worthless ruin.

In the scorched ruins, specks of silver and gold mingled in the sunlight.
