Chapter 102 Kill a fat pig to celebrate the New Year

Chapter 101

Guan Ningjun is the largest horse dealer in the Ming Dynasty. Who dares to believe it?

This is actually a fact. Jiannu sold the endless war horses to Guan Ning's army, and Guan Ning's army then sold them to the gentry and nobles in the pass.

Huang Taiji knew very well that Ming Dynasty was rotten from head to toe.

Even if Huang Taiji did not sell horses, if the Ming Dynasty had money, he could still buy war horses from Mongolia. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia had been divided into three major tribes: Monan, Mobei, and Moxi. Monan Mongolia was divided into Horqin and Mongolia.

Mobei Mongolia, Chahar, Tumut, and Urad. Mobei Mongolia is also called Khalkha, Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, Sanyinnuoyan, Zasaktu, etc. Mobei Mongolia is also known as

Known as Erut Mongolia or Oirat Mongolia, it includes the Junggar Tribe, the Heshuote Tribe, the Torgut Tribe, the Durbot Tribe, etc.

It is precisely because Mongolia is now in disarray. Even if Huang Taiji is unwilling to sell the war horses to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can still get the war horses they want from Mongolia. If they implement a blockade, they will just close the door and play by themselves.

In this case, Huang Taiji further suppressed the market for war horses, and cost the war horses more than a dozen taels of silver from the initial price of more than a hundred taels of silver, or even seven or eight taels of silver. In this way, the Mongol tribes would trade with the Ming Dynasty.

It was discovered that the Ming Dynasty did not offer high prices at all, which made the Mongolians think that they had been fooled.

It not only alienated the relationship between the Mongolian tribes and the Ming Dynasty, but also monopolized the source of the Ming Dynasty's war horses. The transactions between Guan Ning's army and the slaves were all realized on war horses. The two parties negotiated the price and found an opportunity to fight. Of course it was a fake

To fight, Jian Nu throws a few cannon fodder, or wraps the slaves, and Guan Ning's army attacks, seizing hundreds or thousands of horses in one fell swoop. Sometimes, it can be tens of thousands of horses, and the success is achieved by beheading five, six, or dozens of levels.

When the Guan Ning army traded with the Jian slaves, both sides fought a battle. The Jian slaves attacked and the Guan Ning army retreated. Hundreds of civilians and the grain they escorted became the spoils of war for the Jian slaves.

Both parties get what they need and everyone is happy.

Huang Taiji also knew that the horses purchased by Guan Ning's army were not to expand their cavalry, because cavalry is a very money-consuming service. One cavalry plus the cost of the horse costs more than thirty taels of silver.

Zu Dashou couldn't do it, Song Wei couldn't do it, and Wu Xiang couldn't do it even more.

Guan Ningjun only buys horses for profit. A foal worth seven or eight taels of silver can be worth seven or eighty taels of silver when sold to Jiangnan, and can be worth five or sixty taels of silver when sold to Henan. The huge profits here are really too great.

Taller.

More than thirty taels of silver can easily feed ten infantrymen. In the current Ming Dynasty, even if you don't pay a penny, you can raise an army of tens of thousands of people with just two meals. Human life is actually a very cheap thing.

So here comes the question, if Zu Dashou was rich, why didn't he use his own money to recruit servants like Cheng Shijie and quickly form an army?

Of course, Zu Dashou's situation is different from that of Cheng Shijie. Now Guan Ningjun has changed and has become a money-only person. Like a bus, anyone who pays can get on. Cheng Shijie can get on at Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Institute

A large number of servants were recruited from military households, and these servants were quite loyal to Cheng Shijie.

Because what Cheng Shijie is facing is just a group of poor people who are too miserable to survive, like Lao Cheng, a street writer. If other website editors wave their hands, will they write eighty thousand words? Lao Cheng will definitely not hesitate.

Write. If you are a big boss of Wanding, if you give him two hundred thousand words, he will directly say: "Get out!" If you are a great person, it will start with two thousand words, and if it is less than two thousand, it is an insult to them.

Cheng Shijie could recruit honest servants at a very low cost, but Zu Dashou could not. He could also recruit servants without spending a lot of money, but would he dare to use these servants? Knowing that someone inside Guan Ning's army had given him

When it comes to making a game, he still uses the young men within Guan Ning's army? It's hard to say who will listen to the servant soldiers who spend money to support him.

To give a fairly straightforward example, Zu Dashou now wants to get married and have a son. One is his lost lover, the relationship is still there, and both parties know each other relatively well, and the other is a half-hidden family with 800 lovers and benefactors.

As long as Zu Dashou’s head is not kicked by a donkey, he will know how to choose. He dares to find a half-covered door to give him a son. Whose son is this child? I’m afraid Zu Dashou doesn’t know. In this case, Zu Dashou actually

He had no choice but to redeem these captured hostages from Cheng Shijie.

In fact, if you think about it, the Laiyang Zhang family has been running the business for several generations. The biggest official position is just the minister of Dali Temple, but the Laiyang Zhang family has accumulated millions of wealth (including land, shops, and some fixed assets). The Zu Dashou family has four

It is not surprising that Dai Zongbing, the leader of the generals in western Liaoning, could give out 1.3 million taels of silver.

As long as Zu Dashou still has more than 8,000 old men in his hands, even if these old, weak, sick and disabled are no longer strong, the question is, Zu Dashou spent 1.3 million taels of silver to redeem them, how will they face Zu Dashou?

Birthday?

He must be very grateful and loyal.

Zhou An came to Jinzhou with a team of only a dozen people. They would definitely not be able to bring back a thousand horses. Zu Dashou said it was trivial and asked Zu Dabi to lead more than a thousand cavalry, plus hundreds of doctors, and hundreds of civilian men.

Carrying more than 8,000 stones of grain, he returned with Zhou An.

…

The Ning Haijun General Military Mansion in Jinzhou Acropolis, if this can barely be regarded as a general military palace, is because this simple general military palace, although it was the original command office of the Jinzhou Guard, was destroyed three times by Jian Nu.

The original Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Office was still in ruins.

The Dengzhou Guard Zuo Qianhu Station still has a roof, but the Jinzhou Guard Commander's Office only has one foundation left. That's right, it's the foundation. All the ruins are broken, and no wall is more than one and a half meters tall. However,

, the foundation is there, everything is easy to handle.

As the brick and tile kiln factory in Jinzhou Acropolis began to be put into operation, Zhou Yandong immediately mobilized all the productivity to produce new bricks and tiles that were still warm.

Construction started on it.

Instead of using cement, glutinous rice juice was mixed with quicklime. The first step was to build the gate of Ning Haijun's General Military Mansion, which finally gave Ning Haijun a decent place.

But the problem is that in addition to the tall and majestic gate, there are only two small courtyards with a small area. Cheng Shijie moved into this courtyard and began to train and teach Generals of the Dongjiang Army and General Ning.

Although this small courtyard has just been built, it has a fireplace and a fire wall, so it is not too cold.

As usual, Cheng Shijie walked into the classroom with the lesson plan he had prepared.

"stand up!"

Most of the generals of the Dongjiang Army from Huanglong on down came here to listen to the lectures. It was not how good the lectures given by Cheng Shijie were. The key issue was that Cheng Shijie distributed equipment and took care of the meals for the generals who came to listen to the lectures.

Cheng Shijie took the chalk and wrote on the blackboard: "Basic principles of combat. Combat is a science. It is a knowledge of how to better protect yourself and kill more enemies."

Cheng Shijie turned around and looked at the generals and said: "As a commander of an army, as a soldier in the army, everyone must do their best to protect themselves in battle, and also kill the enemy to the maximum extent! The basics of combat

The first principle is, no matter how powerful your enemy is, you must have the courage to rush forward and face your enemy head-on. As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and the wise will win when two armies meet..."

"Report!"

"Report!"

"Report!"

As Cheng Shijie just wrote this sentence, the generals below all actively answered the questions, because for every question answered, Cheng Shijie gave the generals a reward. Of course, this reward was not money, nor was it promotion and wealth, but two or two pot heads.

On a bitterly cold day, having a sip of Erguotou with a temperature of 53 degrees Celsius is quite delicious, making the class atmosphere very lively.

Cheng Shijie looked at the general's hands in front of him, which seemed like swaying sugar cane. His eyes fell on Mao Chenglu: "Mao Chenglu, tell me what you think!"

"yes!"

Mao Chenglu stood up and bowed: "Cheng Shuai, you have preached before. Fighting to the death is reckless and not advisable..."

Cheng Shijie interrupted Mao Chenglu's words and said: "I have never said that fighting hard is not advisable. You must always remember that courage is something that soldiers should not throw away. If an army has no courage, no matter how good the equipment of the army is,

Well, train hard and never try to defeat the enemy!"

"Report!"

"Mao Chenglu, keep talking!"

"Isn't this a contradiction?"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "In fact, there is no contradiction, because the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, the horizontal ones are afraid of the stunned ones, and the stunned ones are afraid of death. Do you understand?"

The crowd roared with laughter.

"Don't laugh, everyone. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. This is an eternal truth. Weapons will become more and more sophisticated, and equipment will become more and more advanced. But the problem is that those who operate these weapons will always be humans!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "Just like in the Battle of Jinshishan, our brothers from Ning Haijun all saw the courage of Jiannu. At that time, our Ninghai navy fired all guns and artillery, causing heavy losses to Jiannu. But the problem is that Jiannu suffered heavy losses.

They continued to charge until they suffered more than one casualty. They did not even think of retreating. If they were not charging more than 300 people, but if they were 3,000 or 30,000 people, we would still have to use artillery and blunderbuss to kill them.

Keep out of range?"

"Report!"

"Liu Qingsong, tell me!"

"cannot!"

"correct answer!"

Cheng Shijie nodded seriously and said: "The barrel of a fire gun will turn red if it is fired for a long time, and the barrel of an artillery fire will turn red if it is fired for a long time. As long as Jiannu is not afraid of death, they will definitely be able to rush in front of our Ning Haijunzhuang. At this time,

Our muskets cannot fire bullets, our artillery cannot fire, and our crossbowmen have no time to fire. If we want to win, we can only rely on hand-to-hand combat and the courage of our soldiers!"

The generals began to think thoughtfully.

Cheng Shijie continued: "The bullets will be used up, the cannonballs will be used up, and the crossbows will be shot empty. The final competition in war is courage. A courageous army, even if it is unarmed, must learn how to use your fists and knees."

, elbows and even teeth to attack the enemy and kill the enemy. This is the difference between soldiers and civilians.

"Ordinary people can be timid and scared when faced with a large number of heavily armed enemy troops, they can surrender, or they can turn around and run away, but soldiers can't. It's not that soldiers can't surrender, but that soldiers can't give up fighting as long as they have a breath left.

We have to fight for our lives with the enemy. There is no excuse or reason. Fighting is the bounden duty of a soldier. As a duty, we have only one goal. No matter who they are, as long as they are our enemy, we will kill them.

Eliminate, completely eliminate mentally and physically!"

A blizzard came unexpectedly. The soldiers of Ning Haijun and Dongjiang Army looked at the blizzard in the sky and cheered loudly: "Finally, we don't have to do long-distance training anymore."

"That's right, there's no need to stand in a military posture. People will freeze to death in this weather!"

"Let's just stay in the house and take a good nap!"

The soldiers who were talking a lot did not see the instructor in the snow outside the house, with a happy smile on his face.
