Chapter 271 The strongest place of the Jurchens is......
Quan Xu really didn't have the reward that he could get by looking at the good news, because he knew very well that the treasury was already empty enough to run mice, where was the money to reward?
When he collected the head, the purpose was actually to sell it for money, anyway, some generals in the Ming Dynasty were willing to buy the head at a high price.Hou Sui listened to Quan Xu's price of three hundred taels, and his first reaction was that it was cheap, it was too cheap.Although the reward given by the imperial court to the soldiers is thirty taels of silver, the key is that they can be promoted, and the head of a Niu Lu can be promoted to a thousand household officials of the fifth grade.Of course, this is the treatment that ordinary soldiers can ascend to the sky in one step, and for generals, the benefits are naturally more, and they can ask the court for money, food, blades, and benefits......
Hou Sui was about to answer, Lu Xiangsheng frowned slightly: "Dongsheng, is this ......"
Quan Xu smiled: "Lord Lu, my people are not soldiers, they are all my people!"
”Quan Xu didn't want the army he had worked so hard to cultivate to be absorbed by the imperial court, this was not such a good thing, a soldier Quan Xu invested at least a hundred taels of silver, and he spent no less than 200,000 taels of silver on the army of 3,000 people before and after.The whole army is an army of silver."
Well said, well said!"
Hou Sui looked at Quan Xu and smiled: "Dongsheng, don't be three hundred taels, the price is five hundred taels!"
”If Quan Xu didn't have a backstage, let alone three hundred taels, he wouldn't even give out a tael of silver, but Quan Xu was Sun Chengzong's future grandson-in-law, and it seemed that Sun Chengzong was ready to train Quan Xu to enter the military.Quan Xu is a prisoner of the country, and he can be regarded as a civil official, although he is not as high as the gold content of Jinshi, but he is not a martial artist born with mud legs.If he buys these heads for five hundred taels of silver, he can sell them immediately, and there will be a lot of people rushing to ask for one thousand taels of silver.Don't look at the poor military households in the Ming Dynasty, but the generals are really not poor, which town general soldiers are not allowed to receive more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of silver from the imperial court every year?
Just like Mao Wenlong, who was the most unpopular, he received 800,000 taels of silver in eight years, and Yuan Chonghuan received 4.8 million taels of silver in less than three years.How much money is spent on the army depends on the mood of the generals and whether they have a conscience.Hou Sui stretched out his hand into his arms and took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms, this is not a silver ticket issued by the imperial court, but a very Jinchang number, real money and silver, make an appointment in advance, and one or two silver will not be less."
This is 30,000 taels of silver, and I want sixty heads!"
Hou Sui smiled and said: "Hou ghostwriter, come to write this battle report!"
”"It should, it should!"
At this moment, an officer of the military department wearing a six-grade official uniform quietly walked towards Quan Xu: "General Quan, the artillery ...... in your army" "I bought it myself from the red-haired ghost, this is the latest artillery of Westerners, the power is no less than the 3,000-pound Hongyi cannon, and the weight is only one-twentieth of the Hongyi cannon." ”Quan Xu heard someone ask about the artillery, he was happy in his heart, big business is coming, the artillery at this time has actually made a name, especially in the battle of Tanghe, Qin Chengzu and Man Gui have achieved good results, and the artillery has fallen into the eyes of people with hearts.Officials in the Ming Dynasty liked to invent firearms and also liked to improve them, which was a political achievement and easy to promote."
Then can General Quan pull the strings?""
I'm afraid I can't!"
Quan Xu spread his hands out: "The big ship of these red-haired ghosts has sunk, and all the artillery they have left has been sold to me, unless ......"
"Unless what?"
”Quan Xu smiled: "Wait, wait for three or five years, maybe they will come again, these 96 guns, they have earned me a lot of silver!"
”It will take three or five years for the cucumber dishes to be cold.The official sneered and said, "General Quan, let's discuss, one thousand taels of silver for one door!"
”When Quan Xu heard this, he jumped three feet high: "I'll give you two thousand taels of silver, and you can get me this kind of artillery?"
”"The whole general is angry, angry, let's talk about it, two thousand taels, two thousand taels and one door!"
Quan Xu's attitude was very resolute: "No need to talk!
”"If you have something to say, talk about it!"
Quan Xu pointed at the official: "You have to add money!"
”"Okay, let's add money!"
The official got Hou Sui's eyes and took a deep breath: "Two thousand five hundred taels of silver, no more!"
”"I'll give you two thousand five hundred taels, how much you get me, how much I want!""
Two thousand six hundred taels of silver!""
Believe it or not, I'll whip you, fuck off, I'm not going to die!"
Quan Xu's biggest advantage is that no one knows how much this kind of artillery really costs, and now there are four troops in the Ming Dynasty using this light field artillery, Mao Wenlong, Man Gui and Qin Chengzu."
Two thousand eight hundred taels of silver!""
Less than three thousand taels of silver, how far do you roll!""
Cheng ......
Deliver!
”Quan Xu was silent on the surface, but he smiled in his heart: "How much are you going to want?"
”As for whether these cannons will fall on his head, Quan Xu doesn't care about this at all.This kind of artillery, except for the seamless steel pipe, has no technical content at all, and of course, the power is also weak, and Quan Xu prefers the kind of lightweight rapid-fire gun.More than a hundred shells a minute, like machine guns, no matter how awesome the army can crush them."
Twenty doors!"
Quan Xu pretended to be displeased and said: "Okay, pay the money with one hand, hand over the cannons, and I'll give you thirty cannons for each cannon!"
”"Thank you so much General Quan!""
Liu Quan!""
Master!""
Twenty guns out!"
Quan Xu's mood at this time was beautiful, selling the first level and earning 30,000 taels of silver, and then selling artillery 60,000 taels of silver, and 90,000 taels of silver, which was really cool.…… Huerha, who had fled to the camp in Nanyuan, the capital, was also distressed, and he was thinking about how to report to Yue Tuo.This time, as Niu Lu Ezhen and Durba Niu Lu Ezhen, he ransacked the surrounding area all the way, the purpose was actually to arrest people, and he was ready to use the Ming people as cannon fodder to attack the Ming army.Of course, they will enjoy the thrill of conquest when they catch people.However, this time it was out of play.His cattle were not wiped out like Durba, but they weren't having a good time.In this battle, Hurha Thorn was defeated, and only twenty-three people came back from the army of one Niulu.Although it is said that Huerha Thorn is illiterate in big words, although he is not educated, he is not stupid.Later Jin established the country with military force, but paid great attention to military discipline.Of course, the military discipline of the Houjin army is not that they do not take a stitch from the people, their military discipline is very simple, obey the orders of their superiors, and the punishment of defeated soldiers is quite cruel.In this battle, Hurha Thorn was defeated, and only twenty-three people came back from the army of one Niulu.Don't think that there are very few people in 300, but the key is that among the eight banners, there are only a dozen or twenty cattle records for one banner.There is no Niu Lu in this battle, so how can Yue Tuo let him go, it is no exaggeration to say that even if he can spare him from dying, he will also be stripped of his skin.After thinking about it, Hurha Thorn came up with a very clever solution.He hurriedly rode his horse towards Yue Tuo's big tent, and while galloping wildly, he shouted: "Master, great joy, master, great joy!"
”Yue Tuo was depressed, because of his injury, he did not get the task of the main attack, and in the combat mission assigned by Huang Taiji, he was responsible for containing Sun Chengzong's troops.Sun Chengzong is a typical Liaodong chariot formation tactics, this kind of chariot formation, the cavalry can't move, it is precisely because of this that Yue Tuo is depressed.Watching the arrival of the Huerha Thorn, Yue Tuo said angrily: "Huerha Thorn, you give the master a funeral!"

”Huerha sneered: "Master, the minion is preparing to give you good news!"
”"Oh!""
The reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty have arrived, and they are on the Juma River in the south!""
, what kind of happy event is this, the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty are coming, this battle will not be easy to fight!""
Master, no, this army is different!"
Huerha sneered: "This Southern Korean army has more than 10,000 people, the key is that they have cannons, and there are a lot of cannons, at least more than a hundred!"
”The cost of a cannon alone is more than 2,500 taels, and the market price is as high as 6,700 taels; if you buy a Franc machine or a Dutch cannon, then the price will rise to 3,400 taels, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.More than a hundred pieces of artillery, which is a great fortune.To say that Hulha Thorn does not understand artillery, but Yue Tuo does.Especially in the Battle of the Hunhe River, which had just passed less than ten years, the artillery of the Qi family army roared in unison, which gave the Houjin army great damage, and from that time on, the Houjin began to attach importance to artillery.However, the question is.Artillery casting is difficult, and cumbersome, Houjin wants artillery, it is very difficult, although the eight traitor families of the Jin Shang Dynasty send food and iron tools to Houjin, they can also occasionally send one or two two cannons, but this artillery is far from quenching the thirst.When Yue Tuo heard more than a hundred cannons, he seemed to see millions of taels of silver, and yes, the artillery that Houjin bought from the Eight Great Jin Merchants was tens of thousands of taels of silver.He looked at him greedily and said, "Who else knows about this?"
”"Just the slave himself!"
Yue Tuo was immediately overjoyed, and he ordered someone to inform Huang Taiji, telling Huang Taiji that the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty of more than 10,000 men and horses would arrive at the Juma River and arrive at the Beijing Division immediately, and he would lead his elite men and horses to resist the enemy.In this way, Yue Tuo led the three elite Jiala, which is equivalent to taking away two-thirds of Yue Tuo's troops, of course, this is not that Yue Tuo attaches importance to Quan Xu.On the contrary, he was just consignment of these more than a hundred guns, nothing more.It wasn't until Yue Tuo led his men and horses to leave the Nanyuan camp that he found that there were only more than 20 remnants of the defeated army left in the Huerha Thorn."
Hurha, what's going on?""
The minions don't dare to deceive the master, last night, the minions were defenseless and were attacked by the southern barbarians, they had more than a hundred cannons, and they bombed indiscriminately, and the minions ......
Master, you must avenge your minions!
”Hurha hugged Yueto's thigh and howled.Yue Tuo pondered, there are few Jurchens, this matter cannot be reported, once it is reported, he will become the laughing stock of other Baylors, and he will also be punished by Huang Taiji.As long as the tens of thousands of Southern Korean reinforcements are annihilated, and more than 100 cannons are captured, it is reasonable to lose a little.The Jurchens' ability to fight is not weak, but their strongest point is these twists and turns.
