Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Yang Chendong didn’t mean to embarrass them. After Ding Shan took the order, he set off and entered Shuixian Town 20 li away. He reported to his home and said that he wanted to see the general of the Jurchen Ministry, Pete. .

Not at all to report the names of Yang Chendong and the mercenary, because the news here is blocked, and it is totally irresponsible. This time Ding Shan reported the name of the Red Flag Army. In the Nuer Gandusi area, the Red Flag Army is also somewhat influential.

The Jurchen cavalry below reported Ding Shan’s identity to the general. At this time, Bitte was discussing the two generals under him in a large civilian house. What they were talking about was how to deal with the Mongolian general Bagan.

For a while, Bagan started recruiting soldiers again, and he attracted the attention of most of the young and middle-aged people in the town in the name of being able to pay five taels of silver and twenty jin of meat in one month. I heard that many people have already started to sign up. Once Bagan’s power expanded, it would naturally form a threat to Pete, which he did not want to see.

Furthermore, Bagan’s move has broken the rules. According to the previous agreement between the two parties, no matter who it is, conscription is possible, but the standard of treatment must be the same. Five catties. Under the same standard, the people in the town can join whichever party they are willing to join.

It is said that Jurchen has four thousand soldiers, while Mongolia only has 2500 soldiers. In comparison, those who want to join the army naturally know how to choose. Choosing the strong and not the weak is a kind of psychology of most people. In this way, the so-called fairness does not exist originally, which also makes Bitte stronger and stronger, and Bagen weaker and weaker.

Unfortunately, the opponent had to break the rules and would rather pay more, just to attract more people to join their cavalry team.

A sturdy man was sitting at the bottom left of Pete. After hearing what the general said, he slammed the table and said in a very violent tone: “Bagan is this If you don’t talk about the rules, that’s the case. The final general suggested sending troops to beat him, and let him know who will have the final say in Shuixian Town.”

“General Hu Lu, please calm down.” Look at his men like this. Not only is Bite not angry, but also secretly happy in the heart. He likes people like Hu Lu, who are straight-tempered and don’t hide his mind. When he uses such a person, he will feel more at ease.

General Hu Lu has already expressed his opinion, and Bitte’s eyes are set on the man by the right hand. This person is called Hui Libu, and his mind is obviously much deeper.

In my return, I didn’t not at all and immediately expressed my opinion and decision, but after a moment of reflection, he said: “Of course a Bagan will not be put in our eyes. We have four thousand cavalry soldiers, as long as we attack They can’t hold back for long, and they must ultimately lose. But don’t forget that behind them is the powerful Mongolia. Although their ruling place is far away here, if the news spreads, who can guarantee that they will not Will play our idea, if there is a 5,000-man Mongolian cavalry, how should we treat it? If a battle, can we win?”

“This…” Hu Lu originally returned I wanted to say something grandiosely, but after listening to this, zhi zhi still had to shut his mouth for a long time.

Bite also sighed in his heart at this moment. Mongolia is too strong. When it makes him want to do something and so on to Bagan, he has to think carefully, because once the consequences of terrifying come, he can’t afford it.

What he wants in his heart is to use Shuixian Town to develop and strengthen himself, not to attract others to him. To achieve this goal, he didn’t even conscript in the town forcefully, because he knew there must be spies from the Northern Ming army. Now that he has only four thousand cavalrymen, he will not make Northern Ming’s army a threat, but if all the men in the town are absorbed as his subordinates, the power can instantly grow several times, which will naturally attract Northern Ming’s army’s attention, once the other side sent an army to encircle and suppress, it would be a question of whether he could gain a foothold.

“Ai, so that said, should we watch Bagen grow step by step until it threatens us?” sighed, Bitte said in a disobedient tone.

“This…maybe we can send someone to discuss with Bagan. After all, we can’t get the same conditions. At worst, we do the same. The men in the town will probably choose Join us.” General Huilibu said tentatively.

Although due to the environment, they don’t store too much money at all, but they don’t have no inventory at all. It’s really anxious. They also offer the same conditions, at worst is both sides. suffer.

“It seems that this is the only person.” Bit nodded, this is the same result as he had previously thought. It’s just that, the money in his hands will shrink a lot. If things go on like this, there will be insufficient income, and I am afraid that one day, he will not even be able to spend military expenses.

Waiting for Pete’s nodded to make a decision, a soldier walked in outside the house and knelt down and said, “I’m the general, there’s a person who claims to be Five Star Army wants See you.”

“Five Star Army.” Pete is no stranger to this name. He knows that this is also a team with thousands of cavalry, and it also has some battle strength. But that’s all, after all, his strength is more than three times that of the opponent. “Well, can the visitor say anything about it?”

“No, the visitor claims to be Ding Shan, saying that there is a business to discuss with the general. As for any business, he dare not wait with me. Let’s talk about it.” The soldier knelt and answered truthfully.

“Is there a business? Hehe, then invite him in.” Pete laughed, this is also normal. Because they will get leather goods such as green rat skins, as well as things that are urgently needed outside such as Costin and pearls, it is no wonder that ordinary merchants come to contact him.

It’s just that usually this kind of businessmen will appear in the early spring and late autumn. It’s like this has entered the summer, and it’s true that there are not many businessmen who talk to themselves.

With curious eyes, neither Hu Lu nor General Huilibu had moved, and they were also curious about what business the red flag Ding Shan wanted to discuss with them.

The soldier left, and soon went and returned. Behind him was Ding Shan with a smile on his face. As soon as this person came into the house, he was very humble cup one fist in the other hand towards the three people one after another paid respect, “Ding Shan has seen three generals, three generals are good.”

“Well, are you Ding Shan of Five Star Army? What position do you hold there?” Huili asked without initiative. He also played the role of pioneer, so he shouldn’t let the general take action in person. Right.

“The talents of the villain are limited, only any company commander.” Ding Shan still smiled, unspeakably sincere.

“Company commander?” Huili did not frown. Obviously he had never heard of this position. “Company commander? I don’t know how many people are in charge of Brother Ding?”

“Oh, there are only a hundred people.” Ding Shan is still laughing, not at all, because he can only lead one hundred soldiers, he has the slightest self-deprecating meaning.

“Hundred people? Hehe, he he he.” The three Bitters heard that each other was just a Hundred-men Commander, and could not help laughing heartily. What a prestigious official position was that company commander in the past? Unexpectedly, it is a Hundred-men Commander. By the way, Ding Shan must also know that his official position was sorry, and he deliberately said that he was a company commander, but in the end he was seen through by the three of them. Hey, I don’t know what Five Star Army thinks. When I came to see myself, I just sent a Hundred-men Commander. Does this mean to look down upon myself?

The three people seemed to have thought of something. There was a hint of anger on their faces. When Ding Shan saw in his eyes, he naturally knew that the other party’s heart had changed, and he also sighed in his heart. Knowing the power of the Five Star Army, being able to send me here is already considered enough to give you face.

Of course, he couldn’t say these things, and no one would believe them. Thinking of his mission, he put away his original smile and said as serious as possible. “Three generals, this time I actually came to deal with you. I think in front of my interests, my identity shouldn’t matter.”

“en.” Angrily, “You talk about the transaction, then talk about the content and amount of the transaction.”

I didn’t immediately reject it, I just wanted to wait for Ding Shan to finish talking, and then be ashamed. The other party, after all, is just a Hundred-men Commander, they really don’t think the other party can come up with anything to seduce themselves.

Ignoring the other party’s somewhat indifferent attitude, Ding Shan finally spoke, “Three generals, we Five Star Army here want to buy war horses. We know that nobles have a lot of war horses. Is it the best of both worlds to be kept in captivity, that is, to eat food there for free, it is better to sell it to us.”

“Buy a horse? You want to buy a war horse?” Still, I didn’t say this aloud. Then haha ​​laughed, “Ding… company commander, right, but I don’t know how many horses you want? What price can you pay?”

I deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words on the number of horses. The meaning is to ironic Ding Shan, as you are a trifling Hundred-men Commander, what you can do, even if you buy horses, it should be just a few horses, although the sale of war horses is indeed the source of their Jurchen tribe’s wealth. The main input, but if there are only a few horses, they will not take it seriously.

How many horses?

Ding Shan sneered at each other in his heart, and his tone changed to a very proud attitude. He had already thought about it. Whoever said that the businessman must bow his head, it was a small businessman. He is a big businessman, even if he is a big businessman with a large sum of money in his arms, it is not that he depends on the faces of others, but the mood of others. Ding Shan, whose tone has also changed in this brief moment, is like a different person compared to the previous one, “Three generals, you must be mistaken. Our Five Star Army does not require a few horses, but You can ask for as much as you have. As for the price, it is easy to discuss.”
