Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

“en.” With a grunt with upturned nostrils, he said hello. After he was fully seated, he touched the teacup and said casually, “Your name is Ding? I heard Xiao Wuzi say that you want to see me? Do you want to do business with me?”

The so-called Xiao Wuzi is the middleman Ding Shan found. It belongs to a broker in the city and is equivalent to the current middleman and introducer. general. Don’t underestimate these brokers. Although they are not very high-ranking, they have a very wide network of people. There are many people in Three Sects Nine Streams who know many things that cannot be done in the eyes of others. Often they contact one of them and things will happen. Play the change of Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

“Yes, the little surname is Ding, the Fifth Brother I was looking for.” Ding Shan’s flattery look is very consistent with the 30% smile of a businessman.

“Well, it’s okay, it doesn’t matter what your surname is, and I will forget it afterwards. I’ll just say what business you are looking for with me this time. I can tell you, this General is very Busy, if it’s a small business, don’t waste each other’s time here.” A picture of a very busy job and a lot of things, so I don’t take a direct look at Ding Shan.

For Zhang Mingzhi’s contempt, Ding Shan didn’t care at all. He didn’t plan to have any friendship with this person. Everyone met for their own purposes. “Yes, now that General Zhang said this, the little one will make a long story short. I have a group of horses on hand and I am eager to make a move, but I don’t know if General Zhang has any ideas.”

It seems to be instinctive. Normally, Zhang Mingzhi just waited for the other party to finish speaking, he hurriedly lowered the price and said: “What kind of big business should I consider, it turned out to be a war horse, huh, let me tell you… wait, what did you just say? War horse? ??”

When suddenly I realized that Ding Shan’s business was a war horse, at this moment, he was complexion greatly changed, and he was no longer inattentive.

“Yes, it is a war horse.” This meeting changed to Ding Shan and turned into a serious color.

Looking at Ding Shan carefully, it seemed that he didn’t believe what the other party was saying. Zhang Mingzhi asked again, “What’s your last name? Oh, Ding Boss, right? You confirm Are you trading war horses with me instead of ordinary horses?”

No wonder Zhang Mingzhi asked. The Great Ming law stipulates that warhorses are not allowed to be sold privately. It’s not the same if it’s replaced by ordinary horses. As long as the amount is not too large, private transactions are not prohibited. Of course, the price of war horses is several times higher than that of ordinary horses.

“Sure, sure, and sure, 100% are war horses. Oh, yes, general Zhang, please look out, do you see my strong horse tied to the stake? That’s me riding Yes, this is one of them.” Ding Shan pointed to the healthy horse outside the teahouse, and said with a bragging look.

Although today’s position is inherited by his ancestors’ military exploits, Zhang Mingzhi is not entirely a rice bucket. At least he has a certain understanding of horses, because he has not been a horse before. It’s the first time when it comes to war horses.

As soon as the warhorse transaction is illegal, no one dares to ask them to do it. Secondly, who has a war horse who will sell it? Powerful people are afraid that the number is too small.

Under suspicion, Zhang Mingzhi looked towards the horse outside the teahouse. With his eyesight, he can see that the horse is of good quality, muscular and full of strength. “This… the horse is good, but I don’t know how many horses there are?”

I quickly suppressed the shock in my heart. In Zhang Mingzhi’s opinion, although such a horse is of good quality, it is not It’s such a strange thing to live in, it’s normal to have a three or five horses.

Ding Shan has been observing Zhang Mingzhi’s complexion changed, and he is quite sure in his heart. When he saw the other party asking about the number, he stretched out four fingers.

“There are only four horses.” Zhang Mingzhi sighed in relief, and the four war horses are not so amazing. Even if he wanted to, he could take the risk to get four from the army in the city.

“No.” Ding Shan shook the head, shaking his outstretched fingers.

“No? That’s 40 horses?” At this moment, Zhang Mingzhi showed some interest. For him, if it was 40 horses, it would have attracted some interest.

“No no! General Zhang, can’t you just think about it?” Ding Shan is a picture of you trying to guess, don’t be afraid of being scared.

Zhang Mingzhi, who sat opposite, was really shocked at this time. Now that Ding Shan dared to say that, it must not be 40 horses, could it be said that it was 400 horses?

Hi!

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhi became unable to calm down. To say that he has not seen four hundred war horses, doesn’t the nearby Weisuo Jianzhou Zuowei have two thousand war horses? But it belongs to the Northern Ming Imperial Court, and these four hundred horses are a private sale. It belongs to him when things are done, and he can sell them to the army at a high price, even… he can even think of a way. If you snatch this war horse and give it to the guard, it will definitely be a great achievement. At that time, you may be able to improve yourself by one level and become a real thousand households.

Don’t underestimate the fact that there is only one more adverb between Fuqianhu and Qianhu. The power of the two is indeed very different. It is so large that some people are poor and cannot reach it for a lifetime.

Zhang Mingzhi became a vice president by hereditary inheritance. It seems that the starting point is very high, but if nothing else, this life may stop there. When it comes to his next generation, the hereditary will not be a deputy thousand households, but only one hundred households. For future generations, his pressure is not small.

In this brief moment, his mind turned a lot, and finally he made up his mind that this thing must be done and done well. As for the moment, stabilize Ding Shan’s mind first, and then plan back.

“Oh. Four hundred war horses, right?” I want to have a hint of reservedness, but Zhang Mingzhi’s voice still made a tremor, representing the excitement in his heart at the moment.

“Yes, it is four hundred horses, but I don’t know if General Zhang can eat them. If he can eat them, how many silver taels can be given for each horse. Of course, the quality is absolutely guaranteed. Every horse will not be weaker than the one outside.” Pointing to the outside of the teahouse, Ding Shan was still smiling.

“Well, if there is no problem with the quality, it will only be four hundred horses. This General wants it.” Putting on a look of wealth, Zhang Mingzhi must say this. He couldn’t show his cowardice and let Ding Shan be suspicious. If that were the case, the business would not be done. He also didn’t ask the other side about the origin of the war horse. This is a rule. Buyers don’t ask the sellers about the source of their stuff. Because of this, there are many good and cheap things circulating in the market.

“Okay.” Ding Shan also looked very happy, and then looked towards Zhang Mingzhi with eager eyes, a picture that depends on your bid now.

Zhang Mingzhi just pondered for a while, and then nodded said: “Well, if there is no problem with the quality, how about the price of each horse I can charge up to two hundred taels?”

In the normal market, an ordinary horse only costs about thirty-two. The price of a war horse ranges from 100 taels to about one hundred and twenty taels, depending on the health and foot strength of the horse. But there are so many war horses involved, of course, you can’t look at it like you usually do. The more war horses there are, the more expensive they are. But the price of two hundred taels for one horse is still very sincere, even higher than the market price and the black market price.

One horse, two hundred and two, four hundred horses is 80,000 silver taels. This is definitely not a small number, and it is definitely not a small deputy who can take charge. But Zhang Mingzhi didn’t think too much before making a decision. That can only prove one thing, that is, he is bound to win.

But Ding Shan didn’t seem to see these generals. He just kept nodded with a smile and looked like a greedy businessman.

The price is negotiated, and the next step is the place of the transaction. Three days later, at Jiaoshan Col, the two sides agreed to trade there, one lot for one lot.

Only then did Ding Shan leave, and Zhang Mingzhi looked at the distant back and fell into contemplation. Now that such a big piece of fat is in front of him, he must eat it in his mouth. The question now is how to eat it?

Four hundred war horses, let alone him, even with the current strength of the Shuangchengwei, I am afraid that it will be difficult to eat. It seems that we must inform Jianzhou Zuowei to know, this is why he must The reason for insisting on trading after three days. On the surface, he said to Ding Shan that he wanted to collect money. After all, eighty thousand taels is not a decimal, but in fact he created enough time to inform the Zuowei. Although there are war horses that can communicate with each other, it takes two days to go and one time. With the addition of preparation, three days are just right.

As a company commander directly under the regiment, Ding Shan’s brain is definitely sufficient. He has clearly understood Zhang Mingzhi’s harboring malicious intentions, but he is not afraid. If it was only their cavalry regiments, it would be tricky to provoke such enemies, but now, with the Sixth Young Master and Cold Front regiments and six auxiliary battalions on the side, why be afraid of it?

In the temporary command camp, Ding Shan recounted the meeting with Zhang Mingzhi in great detail, and finally expressed his doubts as well, and then closed his mouth tightly. In this camp, there were up to the Sixth Young Master, down to three group commanders and a group of battalion commanders, but he didn’t have the power to speak more.

“Very well, this time Company Commander Ding made a great contribution.” Yang Chendong praised Ding Shan without hesitation after talking about the situation. Afterwards, his eyes began to search on the Sandbox, and he soon found the place called Jiaoshan Col.

Nurgandusi is now outside the Guanwai, now the three provinces of northeast China. When it hasn’t been developed with emphasis, except for the plains, there are mountains.

High mountains, which are connected one by one, are endless, seem to give people a very grand and magnificent feeling; the plain is endless, you can’t see the head at a glance, and you can see very far. But there are also some special environments in this terrain, such as Jiaoshan Col, which is the connection point between high mountains and plains, and belongs to the sub-mountain area.
