Due to Zihan's thoughtful suggestion, the speed of the march the next day was still the same, but this time it was different, the little fat man ordered his subordinates to take off all their armor and helmets, and only wear their usual clothes, saying that they were afraid of losing equipment and consuming horsepower during the march.
In fact, this order is very popular, forty pounds of armor on the body is indeed powerful, but it is also indeed guilty, at this time this kind of armor, all the weight is pressed on the shoulders, the shoulder of the day is sore, after getting the armor order, everyone is cheering.
Lu Hanqiang ordered the soldiers to dismount and lead the horses on foot, and pile the armor and baggage on the cart, so that the speed of the march was accelerated again.
By the time he camped at night, he had already left Beijing for 120 miles, which was regarded as leaving Gyeonggi and entering Changping Prefecture, which was later known as Changping County.
Lu Hanqiang ordered his entourage to set up a large camp outside Changping City, near the mountains and rivers.
Looking at the majestic Yan Mountain, Wang Gonggong stood beside Lu Hanqiang and couldn't help but sigh, "This place is really worthy of being the pillow of Beijing, if the north becomes chaotic, as long as there is a tiger and wolf stationed here, Jinggi will have peace of mind." ” Lu Hanqiang nodded: "What the prince said is true, but now the Ming army is unbearable, the tigers and wolves are no longer good, not even dogs, a group of pigs." ” For Lu Hanqiang's description of the Ming army, Wang Gonggong thought so, "Guanning has 200,000 iron cavalry, and it costs three or four million national funds every year, but it can't help the Jurchens who only have a population of more than 100,000. ” For Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Hanqiang didn't want to say more, it was useless to say, it was better to do his own thing.
At this time, the little fat man came from afar, as if he had something to say.
"Something "Brother-in-law, the military supplies we purchased have been escorted, shouldn't you go over and have a look" The little fat man looked at the prince, and then reported to Lu Hanqiang.
Although he is the nominal commander of the First Army, he knows what he does, and his seniority is there, so he has to ask Lu Hanqiang for everything.
"I won't show up, you can let your sister take over."
Lu Hanqiang commanded.
Now in terms of military supply, Lu Hanqiang gave up the Ming Dynasty's regulations on the guest army, and adopted the method of buying from merchants along the way, and the object of this purchase was handed over to the royal trading house without flowing into the fields of outsiders.
And letting the little fat man, a rough man, manage the quartermasters, will definitely make him a mess, so when he talked last night, Lu Hanqiang handed over this matter to the shrewd Zhang Zihan, for this task, Zhang Zihan is willing to take over, which is also the nature of a strong woman.
Of course, Ruyun also jumped up and down to win part of the task, but Lu Hanqiang knew that he was definitely out of a girl's playful nature and handed it to her, that is, he couldn't get along with himself, so he resolutely refused.
Just thinking about it, I saw a large cart of smoke and dust rolling into the barracks, "Then you better go back, help your sister watch the point, don't let the profiteers take advantage of the loopholes." ” The little fat man agreed and ran to the barracks.
When I entered the barracks, I saw my sister in a hurry to accept the materials according to the order: "Money shopkeeper, your food is not bad, I can accept it."
Zhang Zihan blew down the rice grains in his hand, and said with satisfaction to the shopkeeper of Changping, a trading house behind him.
"Thank you for the compliment, this is the order I received yesterday and prepared overnight, but the first time I took over such a thing, it is not too good, and omissions are inevitable, but I definitely dare not slack off, I said, this time it is for our firm to co-organize the adult errand, where do you dare to make a mistake" Zhang Zihan nodded, "It's all your own family's business, that's how it should be, when Lord Lu asked you to make money, he also had the intention of examining your ability, if this method is feasible, then maybe you will have to recommend this method to the emperor in the future, and that is the time for you to show your talents." ” Hearing the news leaked by Zhang Zihan, the money shopkeeper's eyes lit up at that time, if this is the case, then every time a large army crosses the border, his own business bank can make a profit, in addition to the head office, it is not a big fortune at the moment nodded and said to guarantee, and then Zhang Zihan collected the amount, and after giving the silver on the spot, the shopkeeper of the business house picked up a wooden box in the hand of the man behind him, and pleaded with hope: "Miss, Lord Lu is the life-saving benefactor of our post guards, This time, I was able to run an errand for Lord Lu, and the small one was a blessing that I had cultivated for eight lifetimes, so the brothers and family members in the business house got together a little bit and asked me to bring it to the adult, and I also begged the eldest lady to give it to Lord Lu, and implored him to meet the little one in his busy schedule, so that he could bring the thoughts of the big guy. ” Zhang Zihan glanced at the box, and shook his head with a smile: "Lord Lu is compassionate and compassionate, that is to pity you for being helpless, and also to share worries for the country and the king, this is as it should be, as for you and your brother, the original business was just established, and the silver allocated above was still small, and it was also bitter, so you can take these things back." ” "No, no, no, Lord Lu's kindness, we are grateful, in the homes of our old post guards, we have his birth cards, burn incense and pray for Lord Lu to live a long life, the 100-year-old prince Wandai, but that is our heart, there is no actual thing, this time Lu Xieban passed by our place, how can we not meet to express our hearts and ask the girl to fulfill the wishes of the little ones."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground holding the box, and the guards who followed him also knelt down one after another, begging Zhang Zihan to give him a message.
Zhang Zihan was at a loss to cry and laugh, it was impossible for a girl to reach out to pull a man, but if she didn't pull someone, she begged and begged, but she couldn't get up.
When it was a mess, the little fat man just came back and was able to relieve his sister.
But he still persuaded those begging guards to leave, and did not let them see Lu Hanqiang.
Holding the list, Zhang Zihan frowned deeply, and at this time, Ruyun walked to Zhang Zihan's side and complained: "Sister, you are too good at talking, the food they transported is okay, but the vegetables they sent are all wilted, not fresh at all, how can you accept it, and there is, the pork is almost stinky, so you should return it to them." ” Zhang Zihan smiled bitterly and explained to this straightforward but not deeply involved sister: "Using merchants to supply military supplies is Brother Lu's originality, but it is also the first time, there are still loopholes here, especially this is the first day, there is no stock in our military camp, if we don't accept them, we will have no overnight food, and our nearly 1,000 men and horses will starve, so even if I see something wrong, I can only open my eyes and close my eyes."
But in this case, I want to tell Brother Lu about it, and I should come up with a way to do it. ” Then look at the little fat man who didn't understand: "However, this is a hundred times stronger than the local government supply, it seems that this method is feasible." ” The rest of the thing is to call the people to receive supplies to cook for everyone, Zhang Zihan is worthy of being capable, although things are complicated and chaotic, he is also well organized for a while.
It wasn't long before the camp was filled with smoke and the smell of food.
In terms of food, Lu Hanqiang is still kind, not as mean as other armies, although he did not pretend to eat and live with them, but he also completely ate well, and let the people and the family equal, so that those people also began to appreciate Lu Hanqiang's kindness, and slowly began to heart Lu Hanqiang. t1706231537:
