Daming wolf ride

After coming out of Lin Jiantai's tent, Shi Dayong and his party were led by two of Lin's personal soldiers, picking up secluded places all the way, going around like this, and finally they were out of the territory of the Beijing camp.

After leaving the Beijing camp, it is the Chengdu army stationed by Wang Hong of the Sichuan Army, and further in is the camp of Deng Ke's Chongqing army.

Along the way, Shi Dayong was worried that he would be discovered by the horse inspector or the Yongwei battalion, so he kept his head buried and walked without saying a word.Pei Shaokuan wanted to ask when his benefits would be fulfilled several times, but he couldn't bear to ask.He also knew that this was not the place to talk.

But when he got out of the Beijing camp, Pei Shaokuan couldn't bear it anymore, and if he didn't ask for the benefits agreed in advance, this person would leave.

Just as he was about to speak, a black figure flashed in the front left, and then someone came over, but it was Shao Wu from the Jinzhou Army. [

Seeing Shao Wu coming out, Deng Ke was quite surprised. He looked around and found that there was no sign of Wang Hong's soldiers, not even a patrolling soldier. A team of patrolling sentries, the defense of the Chengdu soldiers is too lax. If the rebels attack the camp, the whole army may collapse immediately and it will be out of control.

Deng Ke's Chongqing soldiers were stationed in the inner camp, so the guard and defense work of the Sichuan Army was basically undertaken by Wang Hong's Chengdu soldiers.Now seeing that Wang Hong's soldiers did not undertake any security and defense work at all, and only scattered some repelling horses around the camp, and dug several horse pits to deal with it, Deng Ke was naturally a little shocked and had a headache.

Shi Dayong also noticed this situation, but he didn't mean to despise and ridicule the Sichuan army. I don't know if this terrible weather happens once in a century or once in a thousand years. It's good to be frozen to death, so there's no need to care about patrolling the camp.

Besides, I'm afraid Li Jiuzheng wants to attack the camp, and the gang of mobs under his command are also unwilling to come. The soldiers who can be pulled out under severe cold are not mobs.If the rebels really had such perseverance and combat effectiveness, they would have gone to Beijing long ago, so why wander around in Denglai.

Besides, there are Jin Guoqi's Ji Liao soldiers and Lin Jiantai's Beijing camp soldiers blocking the front. Even if the rebels want to attack the camp, they have to follow them first. Therefore, Shi Dayong is not as annoyed as Deng Ke, but was found by the laxity of the Sichuan army. Excuse.But if the campers were his own soldiers and horses, Shi Dayong would have been furious and whipped him up.

Shao Wu hid alone in the camp of the Sichuan army, with nothing to keep out the cold, and squatting on the ground, he was already shivering from the cold, with no temperature from head to toe, and felt cold to the touch, as if his blood had been frozen.

If Shi Dayong came out half an hour later, I'm afraid Shao Wu's life would be lost by several percent, and if he didn't die, he would lose his skin.Even now, his face looked pale, without any blood, as if he came out of the morgue.If you look closely, you can even see that the pores on the face seem to be covered with ice stubble.

After seeing Shi Dayong and the others, Shao Wu jumped up a little excitedly, but because he was numb from the cold, his legs suddenly collapsed at this stand, and he almost fell down.Stabilizing his mind, he stomped his feet a few times. After feeling that his feet could move, Shao Wu didn't dare to take big strides, but only dared to take small steps slowly towards Shi Dayong and the others.

When he got to the front, he couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "General, are they willing to give us food?"

This damn weather!

Shi Dayong cursed, and nodded to Shao Wu, Shao Wu immediately showed joy: It's all right now, there is food at last.

Seeing that Shao Wu was frozen like an iceman, Shi Dayong couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Seeing that he was still holding the small bag of gold tightly, he hurriedly signaled Jiang Wanli to take the gold.

This small half bag of gold is more than 50 taels, it was originally planned to be bought and managed by someone when they entered the camp, but no one found it all the way, so Shao Wu had to carry it and hide here waiting for them.

Even the up and down management is done with gold instead of silver. Shi Dayong is really an upstart, rich and powerful.

Pei Shaokuan had sharp eyes, and he could tell at a glance that the bag must be filled with gold and silver, and the weight was probably not light.His heart suddenly became hot, thinking about how to open his mouth to ask for the benefits he deserved.The matter was handled by you, Shi Dayong. You have taken advantage of Lin Jiantai with your wealth and wealth, and you will not be stingy with the benefits of being a middleman.

Holding it for too long, Shao Wu's fingers were frozen together with the bag. He couldn't stretch his fingers, and was afraid that they would be broken, so he didn't dare to use force, and slowly loosened the bag carefully. Jiang Wanli.

As soon as Bao left his hands, Shao Wu immediately stretched his hands to his collar, warmed his hands against his neck, and put them in his sleeves after he felt better.A gust of cold wind blows, and the subconscious is a shiver.

Shao Wu's actions made Shi Dayong curse again to God, what the hell kind of weather is this? Although the twelfth lunar month of later generations is cold, it will never be so cold. [

In this weather, how can the crops survive? If the crops cannot survive, what does this person eat!I'm so hungry, it's no wonder I don't rebel.

It's no wonder that after Shi Dayong came to this era, he cursed God again and again, thinking that it was too cold this day.You know, in Dayong's previous life, there was a special term for the climate of the last ten years in the late Ming Dynasty - the Little Ice Age.

During the Little Ice Age, the global temperature dropped sharply, and the Ming Dynasty was the hardest hit area. It was the coldest within 1000 years, ranked second within 1 years, and ranked seventh within 100 million years.

Under such a climate, it is very cold in winter and dry in summer, so it is no wonder that there are no natural disasters.The severe cold and drought caused large areas of crops to freeze to death, and there was no harvest at all.As the saying goes, there are three years of abundance and one year of disaster, that is to say, the food accumulated from three years of bumper harvests can withstand one year of disasters.But at this moment, Daming has been suffering from disasters for nearly ten years. Just imagine the dire situation that Daming is in now.

The West, Northeast, and Central Plains were all affected by disasters, but the south of the Yangtze River, with a better climate, was widely planted with commercial crops because of the prosperity of trade, and rarely grew food.This is not a problem in normal times, but after ten years of continuous disasters, it has become a big problem, a terrible big problem-the Ming Dynasty sent enough food from the unaffected Jiangnan to the disaster-stricken area, but did not receive government relief. Naturally, the disaster victims will find their own way of survival, and the only way they can and can save themselves is to rob.

Heart to heart, if Shi Dayong did not transmigrate to Songshan Guard, but transmigrated to a disaster victim, and saw his parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters struggling on the verge of death, he would also go out to fight.If he doesn't rob, he can only watch his relatives die one by one. Who can bear such a tragedy in the world!I'm afraid that at a critical time, even cannibalism is not impossible.

The weather is getting colder, food is getting less and less, and there are more and more refugees. In addition, Chongzhen reuses the gang of corrupt officials from the Donglin Party. No matter how diligent he is, he can't change the fate of the country.

Personal power cannot fight against God, and there is only one way to avoid the fate of the country, and that is to find enough food.

It's a pity that even Shi Dayong, a traveler, doesn't know where to find the food to save the entire Ming Dynasty. He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river-he can't protect himself.

"General Shi, I have done all the things you entrusted to my subordinates. Is the benefit that the general promised to my subordinates earlier?" Interjected.He didn't say clearly that he wanted Shi Dayong to honor it immediately, but the look on his face was very clear.

Deng Ke didn't understand the relationship between the commander of the Beijing camp and Shi Dayong until now, but seeing that he spoke for Shi Dayong just now, the two must also know each other.Seeing that Commander Pei asked for benefits from Shi Dayong, he couldn't help but startled for a moment, and soon understood that this person surnamed Pei was a middleman who set up a bridge, and now that the matter is done, it will be beneficial.

"Brother Pei, don't worry, you are indispensable."

Shi Dayong reached out and took the small half bag of gold from Jiang Wanli, then handed it to Pei Shaokuan without looking at it, and smiled: "There are more than 50 taels of gold here, Brother Pei, take it first, and I will ask someone to give it to you tomorrow." The remaining half is for Brother Pei."

Pei Shaokuan clapped his hands, before taking the gold bag, a little unsure if it could hold gold or not.

Seeing this, Shi Dayong smiled and said: "Brother Pei, if you don't believe me, you can open it and have a look."

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, I can trust Brother Shi, I can trust Brother Shi." Pei Shaokuan really had the nerve to read it.

The titles of both parties have changed, and they are called brothers, which is very cordial.It's just that both sides see that the other party still has value to use, and each has its own ghosts.

I was embarrassed to open it, but Pei Shaokuan still weighed the weight secretly, and after confirming that it was more than 50 taels, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Shi!"

"In the past, Shi was offended. Brother Pei, please don't take it to heart. In the future, our Jinzhou Army will have a lot of places to borrow important people." Shi Dayong said with a pun.

Pei Shaokuan nodded knowingly, as long as there is money to earn, he can let go of any grievances first.

Standing here in the cold, I can't bear it anymore, things are done, why stay here, since Shi Dayong said that the remaining half will be delivered tomorrow, it will definitely be delivered.It would be a little embarrassing to stay here any longer, Shi Dayong paid 1 taels of silver for Deng Ke, the bleeding was too strange, there must be something to ask for.I still don't want to stay here, it has nothing to do with me anyway. [

Deng Pei Shaokuan cupped his hands in embarrassment, and said: "Brother Shi, if there is anything you want to help, even if you tell me, the younger brother must be responsible. If Brother Shi has nothing else to do, then the younger brother will go back first. Today It's freezing cold, hehe, my little brother really can't stand it."

"Brother Pei, please go back, Mr. Shi will send someone over tomorrow, and then there may be some things to trouble Brother Pei."

Shi Dayong smiled and bowed to the other party, Pei Shaokuan shrank his neck, glanced around, and after confirming that no one saw him, he walked away and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After Pei Shaokuan left, Deng Ke suddenly clasped his fists and rushed to Shi Dayong to make a series. He said gratefully: "If Brother Shi hadn't generously donated money, how could Lin Jiantai be willing to come forward to help our Sichuan Army turn around? The food and grass are easy to say. If you return less, you will always be hungry." No one will die. But if the cotton coat is not removed again, my soldiers will suffer a great crime. Brother Deng is really repaying his benevolence. If there is anything that needs Deng’s help, just say it, As long as Deng can do it, Deng will definitely do it for Brother Shi!"

In this world, there is no money dropped from the sky. It is impossible for the other party to give you 1 taels of silver for nothing, and you must ask yourself.Instead of asking the other party to take the initiative to speak, it is better to speak out by yourself.

Deng Ke is also a straightforward person, the so-called getting money from others and eliminating disasters for others, Shi Dayong solved a big trouble for himself, so he will naturally report it.But to be honest, he really couldn't think of what Shi Dayong could ask of himself.He had already bought food and gunpowder from Lin Jiantai, and his Jinzhou army came from Liao Town, and his equipment was much better than his own soldiers. After thinking about it, Deng Ke couldn't think of anything he could help Shi Dayong.

It is true that Shi Dayong did not give the 1 taels of silver for nothing. He had selfish intentions. He originally wanted to come to Deng Ke after receiving Lin Jiantai's grain and gunpowder, so that it would not feel so awkward after a few days.You think that he just paid 1 taels for Deng Ke, and then he wants to ask him for something, and it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable if he changes it.

But since Deng Ke proposed it on his own initiative, and seeing him like this, he was also willing to help, so Shi Dayong would naturally stop being hypocritical.

"Hey, Mr. Deng is serious. You and I are both guest soldiers and are in the same situation. How can we not help each other?" The conversation changed, "But don't hide it from Mr. Deng, I will help you out. 1 taels of silver is indeed somewhat selfish, Shi wants to borrow something from you."

Sure enough, Deng Ke nodded and said, "General Shi wants to borrow something, but if I, Deng Ke, can take it out, I will definitely borrow it from General."

The other party was so straightforward, but Shi Dayong hesitated. The thing he wanted to borrow was too taboo, so the other party might not agree.But the money has already been paid out. Whether Deng Ke is willing to borrow it or not, he will always ask, otherwise the 1 taels is really a reward for the soldiers of the Sichuan Army.

Under Deng Ke's puzzled eyes, Shi Dayong hesitated for a moment before he said, "I want to borrow some soldiers from Mr. Deng."

"Borrow soldiers?" Hearing this, Deng Ke was stunned, he didn't expect that the other party wanted to borrow soldiers from him!

Jiang Wanli and Shao Wu were also stunned there, looking at Shi Dayong in bewilderment: What does the general borrow troops for?

Seeing Deng Kegu staring at him, Shi Dayong thought that the other party suspected his purpose of borrowing troops, so he hurriedly explained: "My lord does not know, when our Jinzhou army went south from the capital, there were only [-] soldiers and horses, and they passed through Shahe and Xiaoguan successively. In the two battles in the village, the old soldiers in the army suffered great losses. I am not afraid of the adults’ jokes. My Jinzhou army is now empty, and the court has not allowed our army to return to the north. I have some troubles with Eunuch Gao. Father-in-law wants to send our army to attack the rebels, but the general is worried that with the current situation of our army, it will be difficult to fight against the rebels. Therefore, I want to borrow some soldiers from my lord. Are you willing to borrow?"
