Sitting around the bonfire, a group of businessmen asked Lu Hanqiang about the next step, and when Lu Hanqiang said what he thought, these businessmen couldn't help cheering.
"Aren't you afraid of hard work and danger, I don't know how much your original net worth was, but this time you can almost live a well-off life, why take risks with the army again" Lu Hanqiang took a knife he picked up casually and cut the mutton, sprinkled a little fine salt on it, and took a bite, the original taste was very delicious.
As a result, the old man who snatched the brazier of the Western Zhou Dynasty and burned his butt stepped forward and said: "My lord, as the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, these years of trading, the roads are not clean, they are all doing with their heads, since they are desperate in the country, they are still desperate, then the hard work here is more worthwhile."
Then he picked up the knife that Lu Hanqiang had just put down, and also cut a piece of meat, and then put the knife directly in his arms, "Especially the Mongolians have almost no flowers, they have robbed our inland barbariously, and they have taken everything they see, everything is a good thing, but after they are snatched back, all that is useful to them is salt and tea, grain and cloth, and other really good things are discarded everywhere, just take my copper pot, which is a treasure of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and as a result, they are used as a pot for cooking, this is not a waste What is when we get rich." , by the way, I will also take the treasure of the ancestors back to the land of the ancestors. ” Lu Hanqiang nodded in approval: "That knife is also an antiquity, before you take it back, you should hand it over and let me cut this meat." ” The kid took it out and handed it to Lu Hanqiang reluctantly: "In my opinion, this knife was used to carve bamboo slips in the Han Dynasty, and that's how the knife and pen officials came, but they only used it to cut mutton, isn't it a pity?"
At this time, the fat man also came over and said: "As for the danger, I don't think so, only today's battle, I can see that the Tartars are weak, and the Qin Cha is strong, and it is actually safer to walk in the interior with such an army, and at the same time, it can also contribute to the soldiers."
What this fat man said is true, and it is also true, the mainland of the Ming Dynasty is not quiet, and there are rogue poles everywhere, even the hungry people with red eyes on the side of the road can fight with you for a bite of food, so it is very dangerous for businessmen to go on the road, it is better to follow Lu Hanqiang's army to buy and wander around.
After exchanging ideas with the businessmen and mastering the dynamics of the soldiers, Lu Hanqiang wiped his hands on his sheepskin jacket, which is also regarded as following the local customs, and then asked Wang Jian to greet Zhao Jianguo and Hua Shuliang and the little fat man who was shouting everywhere, and after the three of them met, on this bonfire, Lu Hanqiang ordered: "Brother Jianguo, you arrange for three hundred brothers to escort the cattle and sheep back to Yanmen, and at the same time collect the words in the hands of the brothers and bring them back, and hand them over to the families of the brothers, so that they or the Shang Commercial Bank can cash in cash, Or continue to exist in the trading house, and don't let the brothers take them to the battlefield, in case there is a good one, and these things are wasted. ” Zhao Jianguo said yes.
Then he called Hua Shuliang, "You immediately write a letter in detail about what happened here, and ask them to bring it to the trading house, I order the trading house to spread this good news to the nine sides as quickly as possible, so that the soldiers of the nine sides who are watching will join in immediately, which can not only bring them wealth, but also better deal a blow to the vitality of the Tartars." ” Hua Shu's eyes were bright, and he agreed to come down, and hurriedly found a tent to write.
"Little fat man, you immediately order the brothers to rest quickly, and we will continue to set off to the east and north early tomorrow morning, and we can't delay it when time is pressing."
"Alright."
The little fat man stood up and shouted loudly to the brothers around the campfire, and then in front of the military order, everyone reluctantly went back to their respective tents to rest, and those who did not have tents went directly to sleep by the campfire.
"Merchant bank, you immediately organize the merchants, and ask them if they need to transport the things they bought back with the cattle and sheep team, it is a burden to take them with you, remember, you tell them that the losses along the way I Lu Hanqiang will replenish them."
This arrangement was immediately welcomed by the merchants, although they did not want to die for money, but they also knew that the soldiers were in danger, and if these treasures in exchange for their lives could not be transported back to the family to make money, they would be working in vain, so they also agreed to this method.
Everything was arranged, and Lu Hanqiang went into the tent left alone for himself and the little fat man, and went to sleep.
We must cultivate our spirits, and the road ahead will be a bloody battle that will turn the river and the sea upside down.
When the east turned white again, the army was assembled, and as countless cattle and sheep disappeared below the southern horizon, the simple tribal camp was set on fire, and the army swooped down on the next tribe in the newborn sun.
So, in this vast grassland, everywhere beacon fire, everywhere blood, with the disappearance of one tribe after another, countless cattle and sheep were continuously driven into Yanmen Pass, countless Mongolians have robbed the Han people over the years The gold and silver were taken away, countless Mongolian horses were captured by the army, ten days later, Lu Hanqiang's remaining 6,000 men and horses have all become cavalry, and have realized one person and two horses, seeing that one person and three horses are about to become a reality.
Walking in the camp where he burned and killed all the people, Lu Hanqiang was very satisfied, and he didn't remember that this was the first few, or more than a dozen tribes that had been slaughtered and looted by himself, anyway, now everyone is becoming more and more skilled and efficient in doing the work of these three lights.
It used to take half a day to kill and burn a tribe, but now it only takes two hours to finish.
Originally, when you counted the cattle and sheep, gold and silver, you had to count them, but now you can probably draw them.
The original time exchanged with the merchant was still arguing and bargaining, and at this time it became refreshing, anyway, one came for nothing, it doesn't matter if there is less selling, one has already made a lot of money, and it is nothing to have more, there is time for quarrels, it is better to grab more points with the next target.
Looking at the soldiers who were nourished with the fat meat of cattle and sheep, looking at the cavalry with one man and two horses, looking at the six thousand brothers who had become jackals, tigers and leopards, and looking at the eyes of the businessmen like hungry wolves, Lu Hanqiang felt with satisfaction that a division of tigers and wolves, under the flesh and blood of the enemy country, their greed and wolf nature had been formed, as long as half of these brothers were left, they would become tinder when they returned to the Central Plains, and they would slowly change the character of the Ming Dynasty.
And these merchants, as long as they are nourished by this bloody wealth and see their great benefits, driven by greed and profit, do not want others, even they will take out money and food, encourage soldiers, or cooperate with horse thieves, and once again kill into the steppe and into the enemy country, and at that time, their own purpose will be truly achieved.
It is an eternal truth that interests change everything.
Blood and fire begins, is it okay to support a monthly pass subscription at the same time, and solicit the opinions of the brothers, this way of writing between the court and the war, do you like to give some advice. t1706231537:
