Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 269 Trading 2
The beauty trap didn't work. Zu Dale was disappointed, but he also respected Lu Xiangsheng a little more - he asked himself that he couldn't do it if he could stay calm in the face of beauty.At this time, Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia were both too drunk and left. The merchants and Mongolian leaders had almost eaten and left one after another. There were many fewer guests.Zu Dale felt that it was almost done, so he ordered the banquet to be removed and replaced with tea and snacks. Everyone was refreshed and knew it was time to talk about business.

Sure enough, Zu Dale took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "Master Lu defeated a Jiala of Jiannu in one fell swoop and beheaded more than three hundred people when he first arrived. This kind of record is really unheard of. I admire it very much. If His Majesty Knowing that, you must be very happy.”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly and said: "It's all about the soldiers working hard. It's just a fluke. There's nothing to brag about."

Zu Dabi said: "No, no, no, Jiannu has always claimed that they are invulnerable to battle. Even a small defeat in a field battle is worth writing about, let alone beheading hundreds of people!" : "To be honest, my lord, I, the Guan Ning Army, bear the hope of the people of the world, guarding the outside of the pass for Daming. For more than ten years, there have been more than 500 Guan Ning soldiers on the battlefield! The imperial court also has high hopes for the Guan Ning Army, and allocates Liao's salary every year. As many as four or five million taels, the emperor's grace is so great, and contempt is added! However, since the outbreak of the Dalinghe Battle, our army has been passive everywhere, and has been defeated by Jiannu one after another. Without a single victory, the whole army is extremely ashamed , I deeply feel that I have failed the entrustment of the Holy Majesty!"

Zu Dale said: "I hope that adults will help us!"

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned: "How can I help the two adults?"

Zu Dabi said: "If my lord can't help, there will be no one in the world who can help Guan Ning's army!"

Wu Xiang also cupped her hands and said, "My lord, please help Wu!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "My lords are serious! If you have any difficulties, just speak up, and Lu will do his best to help!"

Zu Dale was overjoyed: "Then thank Master Lu!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "As comrades, we should help each other in the same boat, so please don't be polite. If there is anything you need to do, just ask!"

Zu Dabi said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult at all for my lord. Such a big victory is naturally to be reported to the court. I am still embarrassed to ask my lord to add my name on the victory report, and I will give you my name." Saying that this battle was won by the Guan Ning Army and the Tianxiong Army together, might as well give the Holy Majesty some relief!"

Wu Xiang said: "Please also add Wu's name, my lord, Wu will be rewarded!"

Lu Xiangsheng secretly said: "It is true!" He felt a little bit bitter, that the false report of military exploits was so high-sounding, but the court had nothing to do with these warlords, and the restraint of the central government on Guan Ning's army was so low!Qi Hu winked at him, signaling him not to speak, he secretly smiled wryly and remained silent.

Seeing this, Zu Dale smiled slightly, and said: "Although we are a little rude to do this, but in order to reassure the Holy One, we have to do it as a last resort. From now on, we will fight to the death and kill as many enemies as possible. Of course, we will not let the Lord suffer Yes, as long as your lord gives me 150 heads, not only will you give me all the [-] horses lent to you today, but you will also give me another [-] horses, making up [-] horses, all of which are tall and strong Liaodong war horses. !"

Lu Xiangsheng silently calculated that he had captured three to four hundred war horses when fighting the bandits, and more than 300 more horses were captured in the battle with Jian Nu. Adding in the thousand horses promised by Zu Dale, in total, the Tianxiong Army had obtained There are 500 horses. According to the standard configuration of one person and two horses, the Tianxiong Army's hussar battalion can be expanded to [-] people. It is considered a very powerful cavalry unit. This deal can be done.

Qi Hu finally spoke: "Level 150 is too much, at most one hundred!"

Zu Dale frowned: "Level [-] is too few!"

Qi Hu said: "Don't forget, General Zu Kuan also won more than 130 levels, adding up to more than [-] levels. With such a record, he can explain it to the court!"

One thousand war horses for one hundred real slave heads... As long as it is a normal army, it will not do it, but the Guan Ning Army—or the entire army at the end of the Ming Dynasty is abnormal.From their point of view, a thousand war horses are worth a lot, but a hundred heads can get them promoted to a higher level, and they can even use this to make a fortune. No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective to get the head———————————————— The war horse was provided by the imperial court, and they didn't buy it with their own money. There is nothing to feel bad about sending it away. After being promoted, they will just ask the imperial court for it!Zu Dale was still not reconciled: "Can't we give another [-] levels?"

Qi Hu said: "These heads were brought back by the Tianxiong Army in exchange for their lives."

This is not negotiable.Zu Dale sighed, and said: "Okay, one hundred ranks, exchange for one thousand war horses, deal!"

Wu Xiang said: "Wu is willing to send 150 war horses, [-] top quality horses, in exchange for the head of a [-]-level real slave!"

Lu Xiangsheng applauded secretly in his heart, now his cavalry can be expanded to 700 people, thank you Master Wu for paying the bill generously!After being happy, there is anger. The preparation of a long soldier like Ma Qian is the most difficult. It takes three years to make one, and only [-]% of the finished product is. The price is high, as you can imagine.The imperial court worked so hard to make this kind of cavalry weapon, equip it with the Guan Ning army, and let Wu Xiang make a deal with it after changing hands. I don’t know if Chongzhen will vomit blood after knowing it!

Qi Hu didn't think so much. He only focused on bargaining: "Add 150 horses and [-] heads for you!"

Wu Xiang shouted: "This is not allowed! I gave five hundred horse spears, and these horse spears are worth more than horses!"

Qi Hu said: "A horse is worth more than a horse, that's true, but these heads can make adults get promoted and get rich!"

Wu Xiang still didn't do it: "Too many, no!"

Qi Hu said: "A thousand horses!"

Wu Xiang was stunned: "Why do you want more and more?"

Qi Hu said slowly: "One thousand war horses and five hundred horses will not only distribute 150 heads to my lord, but also the record of beheading Jiannu Jiala's head will be counted on my lord... Maybe my lord will use it Not counting on this record, but it may not be useless to your noble son."

Zu Dabi and Zu Dale secretly cried out, how could they have forgotten such an important victory!According to the rewards of the Ming army, if you capture a true slave head, you will be rewarded with 40 taels of silver, and you will be rewarded with hundreds of taels for beheading a white-armored soldier, and killing a Jiala Ezhen (equivalent to the head of the regiment)... that would be even worse Wow, it’s like the ancestral graves are breathing fire!As Qi Hu said, they don't need this record, but their nephew will use it for life!Damn it, how could I have forgotten this!The two brothers jumped up in unison, and just as they were about to speak, Wu Xiang's eyes were quick, and he shouted: "150 real slave heads in exchange for a thousand war horses, five hundred horse spears, deal done!" He added : "Be sure to record the real achievement of killing Jiannu Jia La'e on the head of my son, the eldest uncle!"

The so-called eldest son is Wu Sangui, the eldest son of Wu Xiang. This brother needs no introduction, anyone who has read Chinese history knows it.Wu Sangui practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was quite brave. He once led a team of servants to rescue his father, who was transferred to a master, from Houjin's encirclement.But the current Wu Sangui is still a little fresh meat, and he doesn't have any outstanding records. If the real record of beheading Jiannu Jiala is recorded on his head, he will definitely stand out and become famous in one fell swoop!
Zu Dabi shouted: "Wait a minute! My lord, General Wu just gave five hundred more horses, but you gave him such an important victory. Isn't it a bit wrong? I am willing to give another five hundred horses Please share the results of beheading Jiannu Jialaerzhen with my son..."

Wu Xiang said angrily: "You have already reached level [-], do you still want to fight with me!?"

Zu Dabi was also not polite: "We gave a thousand horses to change to level 150, and you only took out [-] war horses and [-] horses to change to level [-] and behead Jiannu Jialaerzhen The results are a bit too cheap, aren’t they?”

Wu Xiang said: "This is what Mr. Lu personally agreed to, do you have anything to do with it?"

Zu Dale said: "You are bullying Mr. Lu and confronting Jiannu for the first time. You don't understand the mystery. Mr. Lu agrees, but we don't agree!" I am willing to give another [-] war horses in exchange for the real head of Jia La forehead!"

Zu Dabi was very upset: "Are you going to fight with me?"

Zu Dale said: "How can such a great achievement be undisputed!"

Wu Xiang shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight. Mr. Lu has already promised me, no fight!"

Zu Dabi and Zu Dale sneered: "Master Lu didn't agree to you, the one who agreed to you is Lord Lu's staff, it doesn't count!"

……

Lu Xiangsheng looked at these people arguing in front of him and blushed, and the prices they offered were getting higher and higher. He secretly thought it was a pity, why didn't he stab a few Niu Lu Ezhen to death?Although Niu Lu's head is not as valuable as Jia La's head, it can still be exchanged for a lot of things, right?
At this time, many generals of the Guanning Army also joined the auction... They didn't dare to compete with the boss for the real head, but didn't the hussars battalion kill nine white armored soldiers? Grade is also very valuable.They are supported by several million taels of salary every year. Of course, they will not be short of money, but they are short of military exploits. Jia Bing's good article goes up, and the court still doesn't treat him differently?The addition of these guys made the atmosphere of the auction more and more lively, which meant that the highest bidder would win.In the end, the results of the war against Jiannu Jiala'ezhen were shared equally among Zu Dale, Zu Dabi, and Wu Xiang. , These three each took out two hundred war horses.The heads of the nine white-armored soldiers were all auctioned off, and Zu Dale, Zu Dabi, and Wu Xiang each occupied two ranks, leaving only three ranks for the hapless generals to share.If it weren't for the fear of being ugly, they would have dared to ask for all the heads of these white armored soldiers!

At the end of the auction, Zu and Wu received 150-level and 2000-level respectively, as well as the heads of a Jiala Ezhen and six white armored soldiers, for which they paid more than [-] war horses.As for the remaining heads of the three white-armored soldiers, they were also sold at a good price, giving the Tianxiong Army many good things in exchange.

These baby ghosts are really valuable!
