Blood from Daming

Chapter 202
The Chief Secretary of Chongqing and Chongqing Wei recruited strong men for Xiao Qianhu to go to Liaodong in Chongqing City. The purchase of silver increased from 50 taels to 80 taels to recruit [-] people, but the quality of the soldiers was very good.

Everyone in Chongqing knows that there are so many dead people in Liaodong. Going to fight in Liaodong is like beating a dog with meat buns. Those who are willing to come to receive the 80 taels of silver are either crazy because they are short of money at home, or they are poor on the street. Ganren who have to fight bad battles, some hot-blooded men who want to serve the court, and brave and ruthless desperadoes on the street are all guys who think of themselves as dead people and play with their heads.

The Chief Secretary of Chongqing and Chongqing Wei spent more than 2 silver in total. I don’t know what happened to this account. Everyone had to fool Xiao Qianhu. A large amount of military expenditure kicked the ball into the city of Beijing.

After hearing what General Xiao said, Lu Yaojin realized that they were another group of abandoned orphans. Lu Yaojin couldn't help feeling sympathetic to General Xiao and said, "General Xiao, the fact that the Tartars in Liaodong fought fiercely is one aspect. The local Liao general It is common practice to annex guest armies, and if you are not careful, you will be plotted by them."

General Xiao Shen was silent for a while, took two sips of wine and said: "I saw clearly that you were almost merged into the army today. I didn't expect that the biggest enemy of Liaodong is not the Tartars but the friendly army. If I didn't see it with my own eyes I might not believe it when others say it.”

Lu Yaojin sighed and said: "The imperial court implements the strategic policy of using the Liao people to guard the Liao soil and using the Liao soil to support the Liao people. The population and resources of Liaodong either went south to the pass, or were captured by Jian captives, and a small number fled to North Korea. So many people died every year in the war in Liaodong, so it was natural to need to replenish the soldiers, and as a result, there was no one in the Liao region, and the indiscriminate means like merging the army became popular."

Lu Yaojin went on to say: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with joining the army. The key is that the Liaodong generals are very selfish. They regard their family members and Liao soldiers as the most precious treasures. "Ten not repaying one" is the old saying."

Xiao Shenjiang was so horrified by what Lu Yaojin said, where did he get dizzy, and it took a long time for Xiao Shenjiang to say to Lu Yaojin: "We drank together now, and now we are good friends. Now that a good friend is in trouble, you should think about it." Find a way to save something."

Lu Yaojin: "General Xiao Can, you have to beware of the Liao army deliberately stumbling you when you are fighting with the Tartars, causing your troops to lose the battle or deliberately framing your troops, so as to achieve the purpose of recruiting your troops. "

Xiao Shen will be grateful for Lu Yaojin's kind words and the two have a good talk, Xiao Shen will pull Lu Yaojin to sworn brothers, but Lu Yaojin just refuses Xiao Shen to agree there, Lu Yaojin has no choice but to admit this participant Younger brother Jiang, now that he has become an older brother, he realizes that he has been tricked by his younger brother. It is not easy to be an older brother. First of all, this meeting ceremony made Lu Yaojin embarrassed.

Lu Yaojin said to General Xiao Shen: "Since you and I recognize brother and brother, I can't watch my brother suffer in Liaodong. You wait for brother to go out." General Xiao Shen nodded in agreement.

Lu Yaojin came out to discuss with Xue Polu about helping Brother Xiao, just as Xue Polu came back from the beach, Lu Yaojin stepped forward to greet Xue Polu: "Second Uncle Xue, I want to discuss something with you."

In fact, Lu Yaojin's age is not much younger than Xue Polu's, but Lu Yaojin is calling people according to Xue Yun's seniority, Xue Polu nodded: "If you want gold, you say it."

Lu Yaojin: "Second Uncle Xue, where are some weapons and armor in the rear battalion? I recognized a brother and saw that the equipment in his battalion was really poor. I thought I would give them to him. After all, they were all fighting Tartars. wasted."

Xue Polu said: "You can decide these small things yourself."

Lu Yaojin: "Second Uncle, I want more."

Xue Polu: "Well, I want Jin to tell you your reason."

Lu Yaojin said: "Master Liaodong this time means to plant more flowers and less thorns, and try to unite the guest army in the pass. I think where the extra supplies in the camp are now, others will be jealous if they find out. Why don't you give them away?" Give your allies one more friend and one more path."

Xue Polu hesitated for a while and said: "Okay, those things were originally reserved for Xue Zong. Since he is so stubborn, don't bother with him anymore. The Sichuan army there is indeed poorly equipped. If you give them to them, you should treat it as your own." Good luck."

Lu Yaojin agreed with Xue Polu, and dragged Xue Polu to see General Xiao. Landing asked Jin to meet General Xiao.

When Lu Yaojin and Xue Polu entered the big tent, General Xiao quickly got up to welcome him. Lu Yaojin introduced to General Xiao: "Brother Xiao, this is my superior, General Xue Polu."

General Xiao Shen cupped his fists and said, "I have admired General Xue's name for a long time, and I finally meet you today. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Xue Polu: "General Xiao is polite."

Lu Yaojin said to General Xiao: "General Xue saw that your preparations were lacking, so he prepared a batch of weapons and armor for Brother Xiao. If Brother Xiao likes it, let's go and have a look together."

General Xiao Shen was overjoyed when he heard this: "How this young general was received, I really appreciate the concern of the two big brothers. From now on, if the two big brothers have anything to do, just say a word. I will do my best to do it, little brother, and I will never let it go." Pigeon."

General Xue Polu, Lu Yaojin, and General Xiao Can came to the group of tents where the military supplies were stored in the back camp. Xue Polu pointed to the tents on the left and said, "There are about five hundred soldiers' complete sets of weapons and equipment here. General Xiao Can, you can see for yourself." As soon as you see it’s needed, call someone to move it away.”

General Xiao Can hurriedly stepped forward to open the tent and took a brief look. He quickly piled up all kinds of weapons and equipment, almost all the cold weapons used by the Ming army. At this time, the quartermaster handed General Xiao Can a A list, the specific numbers of various weapons and materials on the list are clearly arranged.

The equipment listed in the list is: [-] pairs of leather armor, [-] round shields, [-] long spears, [-] hard bows, [-] sets of arrow pots, [-] handles of waist knives, [-] sets of military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, and [-] set of boots. Qianshuang, flags and other materials.

General Xiao Shen looked at the ecstasy, and his five hundred soldiers were basically fully equipped with weapons and equipment. He got five hundred sets of weapons and armor in Shanhaiguan, and now Brother Lu and Brother Xue gave him five hundred complete sets of weapons, equipment and supplies. More or less, they also brought weapons and armored battles, so that the weapons and equipment of the 2000-member team have basically been implemented.

General Xiao Can was moved by Xue Polu and Lu Yaojin. There are still many good people in this world. Today, this brother recognizes that he is not at a disadvantage. General Xiao Can was so excited for a long time that he didn't say anything. It's just Xue Polu's personal soldiers entered the back camp to report that a large group of troops from Shanhaiguan was approaching the gate.

Xue Polu knew that Shanhaiguan must have seen the beacon fire and sent troops to check or reinforce it. Xue Polu said to Lu Yaojin: "Let's go and have a look." Then he walked to the front camp.

Lu Yaojin said to General Xiao: "Brother Xiao, why don't you stay overnight near our camp today, and when the officials from Shanhaiguan pass away, you can go on the road with these weapons and equipment."

General Xiao Shen hurriedly said, "It's all up to the elder brother to make the decision."

Xue Polu, Lu Yaojin, General Xiao, Zuo Ming, Yu Dahui, Li Bazong, Ma Bazong and other generals arrived at the gate with the Shanhaiguan army. Soon Shanhaiguan governor Yu Anxing and Shanhaiguan general Ma Shilong He led five thousand cavalry to Xue Polu's camp.

Xue Polu is the governor of Shanhaiguan Yu Anxing who led the team and rushed forward. Yu Anxing waited for Xue Polu to approach and asked: "Xue Can compares the five puffs of smoke rising in your camp to a serious military situation, but I see it. Why is there no movement in your camp?"

Xue Polu hurriedly saluted and then said: "Master Yu and Lord Ma will report their feelings at the end."

In front of Shanhaiguan general Ma Shilong, deputy general Lu Zhijia, and general Li Chengxian, Xue Polu told Shanhaiguan governor Yu Anxing about Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou's merger with the army. To testify, the governor Yu Anxing naturally believed Xue Polu's words to be true, but Yu Anxing didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to be so courageous, and Yuan Chonghuan, a subordinate personally appointed by Master Sun of Liaodong Economic Strategy, would dare to grab him.

However, Yu Anxing is not a person who listens and believes. He personally led the Shanhaiguan General Soldier Ma Shilong to investigate on the spot and recovered the truth of the matter. This is a big matter that needs to be decided by Liaodong Governor Sun himself, but it is estimated that in the end, the big thing will be turned into a small matter, Polu, you have to be mentally prepared."

Xue Polu immediately expressed his loyalty and said: "In the future, Liaodong will only fall in love with you, Mr. Yu, and you will decide the strategy of Liaodong, Mr. Sun and Mr. Yu. No matter what the final result is, the final general will only manage Mr. Sun and your governor. It's Zhan."
