The total is 110,000 taels, and these prices are generally lower than the market price, which makes the generals under Wang Shuang very happy, and Wang Er did not hesitate to buy it with a wave of his hand.

Today's Wang Er actually has a little money on hand, but where he is lacking, he can't lack the army!

For Ningbo Mansion, although this is not a huge income, it is already a lot, the key is that this thing is completely free, and it is naturally happy to laugh.

"Ask the king's leader to prepare silver, and in half a month, his own merchants will come."

The messenger smiled and bowed away.

……

Half a month later, the two sides made a deal as promised, and the family's convoy disguised itself as a caravan selling cloth went north, and the road was unimpeded with elite guards and a large amount of money to open the way.

Of course, since both parties to the transaction had no trust in each other, the transaction was divided into several times, and it was carried out in different areas at the junction of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Henan, and Huguang, with swords, muskets, and finally armor, and one hand paid and the other delivered.

The first two times were naturally no problems, until the last time, the delivery of the armor made Wang Er feel dissatisfied.

"What, you're saying that most of these armors are torn, especially cloth armor and piercing armor, and many of them have holes?" Wang Er slapped the table heavily, and his tone was angry:

"These people are so bold that they dare to fool me!"

The cronies he sent hurriedly continued:

"Boss, I questioned him as well. Here's what the man replied: 'Why do you think we are giving you so much cheaper?' If you follow the prevailing price, you can double the price of all kinds of armor! ’”

"I don't dare to specialize, so I'll come back to tell you."

Hearing this, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and the generals who were still shouting just now suddenly closed their mouths.

The other party is telling the truth.

As the imperial court's control over the region weakened, the commanders of some guard posts, as well as the workshops responsible for making armor, did secretly sell armor, and many landlords and squires had equipment and bought it from them.

The beautiful name is "self-training and defending Sangzi", which was of course not allowed in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, but now the imperial court also turns a blind eye and does not allow it in the official face, but it will not be strictly cracked down.

However, even if they bought it from those people, they didn't dare to sell too much, dozens of pairs were in short supply, and the price was speculated very high, after all, it was a life-saving thing.

And the price at which the other party sells it is not even the cost price, it is really cheap, otherwise Wang Er would not have agreed to it.

In this situation, there is actually nothing to say, mainly because they originally thought that they had taken advantage of it, but now the gap is a bit big, and if they think about it, they will not be angry.

Especially now that they urgently need armor, if it's broken, it's broken.

Wang Er sighed heavily and waved his hand.

The cronies understood that this meant that they agreed.

So he sent for the next trade with the caravan of men who had remained at the place of trade.

And in the hall, someone else asked:

"So, have you found out where the other party came from?"

The cronies shook their heads:

"They are so alert that they erase all traces, and even except for the leader, the rest of the helpers and soldiers don't open their mouths no matter how we ask, and the leader is also an authentic official and can't hear the history."

As for finding ...... The intelligence system of the rebel army is extremely weak, so it still has some control over southern Henan.

When the generals present heard this, their faces were a little ugly.

They did such a big thing, but they didn't even know who the other party was...... It's a very unpleasant feeling.

However, with a large number of ordnance and broken armor, Wang Er quickly thought of the battle that broke out in northern Zhejiang not long ago.

But he didn't think so much that he thought that the army had actually changed hands, he thought that the officials in charge of managing supplies in the Ming Dynasty were full of money, and even thought that some generals might want to support themselves.

He spoke out his thoughts, which was recognized by most of the generals present.

"The officials of the imperial court are so corrupt that they deserve to perish." A flash of happiness suddenly welled up in his heart.

"That's right."

"What the palm said makes sense."

There was a sudden sound of approval below.

……

Yan Ling's arms were sold happily, but he was bitter for the Ming army who was fighting against Wang Er.

These munitions directly raised Wang Er's military strength to a new level, and he took the initiative to launch an attack, taking advantage of the period when the rogues in various parts of Nanzhili had not subsided.

Although it is true that there are some holes in cloth armor and piercing armor, what if it is double armor? Although there are fewer armor soldiers, there is an extra double-armor elite with 3,600 people! Swords and bows can't be broken, and even firecrackers have defensive power!

And the equipment of 800 firearms also has an increase in combat power.

Originally, Wang Er was already difficult to deal with, and as soon as this strong army came out, it was even more difficult for the Ming army to match.

Caught off guard, the Henan general army was defeated by Wang Er, losing thousands of people, Ruzhou was lost, and the prestige of the "two thieves" was shocked.

The eyes of the imperial court were really attracted by it, Luoyang, the ancient capital, must not have an accident!

So the Henan general army had just experienced a defeat, and hurried to Luoyang, but Wang Er had already sent people to set up an ambush on the road it had to pass, a melee, the Henan general army was killed on the spot, and more than 20,000 people under his command were all wiped out.

Then attack Luoyang, although the city of Luoyang is high and deep, but I know that there are no reinforcements, morale is extremely low, the defenders have no heart to fight and only want to save their lives, and there are ghosts to cooperate, and finally when the rebel soldiers are on the city wall, the rout is difficult to resist!

And Zhu Youxiao, the king of Rong, who was enshrined in Luoyang, was also killed after the rebels broke the city, and the treasures of the Rongwang Mansion were all used as military salaries by the rebels.

The prince, before he died, was still doing his carpentry work, and it is said that the objects he was building at that time were exquisite, but apparently the rebels would not care about this, and a single fire wiped him out along with his work.

When the news spread, Emperor Wuxing cried on the spot in the palace, held a grand funeral for his nephew in the suburbs, gave him the nickname "Zhong", and set up a mound of clothes.

Then Lu Xiangsheng was ordered to lead the troops to Henan and set the rebellion of Wang Er.

Of course, Zhu Changxun and Zhu Youxiao have no feelings, but when Zong Fan died, he had to show his attitude.

Lu Xiangsheng soon led the army like Henan, but now Wang Er is no longer what it used to be, during this time he has occupied the land of three provinces and one state in Henan, and his morale is high, so that even if he faces Lu Xiangsheng, he has no fear.

The beacon fire of the entire Ming Dynasty is burning more and more.
