Come to Daming with military supplies

The shock in his heart was quickly suppressed. In Zhang Mingzhi's view, although such a war horse is of good quality, it is not such a rare commodity. It is normal to have three or five horses.

Ding Shan has been observing the changes in Zhang Zhizhi's complexion, and he is very sure in his heart. When he saw the other party asking about the quantity, he stretched out four fingers.

"There are only four." Zhang Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but the four war horses were not so surprising.He could even risk getting four from the army in the city if he wanted to.

"No." Ding Shan shook his head and wiggled his outstretched fingers.

"No? That's forty horses?" At this moment, Zhang Mingzhi became a little interested. For him, if it was really forty horses, it would have aroused his interest.

"No no! General Zhang, can't you think about it?" Ding Shan looked like you were trying hard to guess, and don't be afraid of being scared.

Zhang Zhizhi, who was sitting opposite, was really frightened at this moment.Since Ding Shan dared to say this, it must not be forty horses, could it be four hundred horses?

hiss!

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhi became unable to calm down.If it is said that he has never seen four hundred war horses, doesn't the nearby Weisuo Jianzhou Zuowei have two thousand war horses?But those belonged to the Northern Ming court, and the four hundred horses were a private sale. After the matter was completed, it belonged to him, and he could sell it to the army at a high price, and even...even he could find a way to sell it 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 upgrade a level and become a real thousand households.

Don't underestimate the fact that there is only one more adverb between deputy thousand households and thousand households. The power of the two is indeed very different. It is so big that some people can't reach it even if they are poor for a lifetime.

Zhang Mingzhi became a vice president by heredity. It seems that the starting point is very high, but if there is no accident, this life may stop here.When it comes to his next generation, the hereditary one will not be a vice-thousand householder, but only a head of a hundred households.For future generations, his pressure is not small.

At this moment, his mind turned a lot, and finally he made up his mind that this matter must be done, and he must do it well.As for the present, let's stabilize Ding Shan's mind first, and then make plans later.

"Cough. Is it four hundred war horses?" Thinking with a trace of reserve, but there was still a slight trill in Zhang Zhizhi's voice, which represented the excitement in his heart at the moment.

"Yes, it is four hundred horses, but I just don't know if General Zhang can eat it. If he can eat it, how much silver can he give for each horse. Of course, the quality is absolutely guaranteed, and each horse will not be eaten. Weaker than the one outside." Pointing to the outside of the teahouse, Ding Shan still had a smile on his face.

"Well, if there is no problem with the quality, it's just four hundred horses. The general wants it." Putting on a rich and powerful look, Zhang Mingzhi had to say this at this moment, he couldn't show timidity, Let Ding Shan feel suspicious, if that is the case, this business will not be able to be done.He also didn't ask where the other party's war horse came from. This is a rule. Buyers don't ask the seller's source of things. Because of this, there are many good and cheap things circulating in the market.

"Okay." Ding Shan also looked very happy, and then looked at Zhang Zhizhi with longing eyes, as if he was looking at your bid now.

Zhang Mingzhi just pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, if there is no problem with the quality, how about I can drive the price of each horse to 200 taels?"

In the normal market, an ordinary horse only costs about 30 taels.The price of a war horse is around 100 taels to 120 taels, depending on the health and leg strength of the war horse.But with so many war horses involved, of course it cannot be treated as usual.The more war horses there are, the more expensive they are.But the price of 200 taels for a horse is still very sincere, even higher than the market price and black market price.

One horse is 200 taels, and four hundred horses is 8 taels of silver. This is definitely not a small amount, and it is definitely not a small sub-thousand household that can make the decision.But Zhang Mingzhi made his decision without thinking too much, which can only prove one thing, that is, he is determined to win.

But Ding Shan didn't seem to see this, just kept smiling and nodding, looking like a greedy businessman.

After the price has been negotiated, the next step is the location of the transaction. Three days later, at Jiaoshan Col, the two parties agreed to trade there, with one hand for money and one for goods.

Only then did Ding Shan leave, and Zhang Mingzhi fell into deep thought as he looked at the retreating figure.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, not to mention him, even with the current strength of Shuangchengwei, it may be difficult to sustain them. It seems that Jianzhou Zuowei must be notified, which is why he must insist on trading after three days. reason.On the surface, he told Ding Shan that he wanted to collect money. After all, 8 taels is not a small number, but in fact he was creating enough time to notify Zuo Wei.Although there are war horses that can communicate with each other, it takes two days to go back and forth. In addition to the need to prepare, three days is just right.

As the company commander directly under the regiment, Ding Shan's brains are definitely sufficient. He has already seen Zhang Zhizhi's malicious intentions, but he is not afraid.If it was in the past, it was only their cavalry regiment, and it would be tricky to provoke such an enemy, but now, with the sixth young master, the third Leng Feng regiment and the six auxiliary battalions by their side, why not be afraid?

In the temporary command camp, Ding Shan described in detail the process of meeting Zhang Zhizhi, and finally expressed his doubts, and then tightly shut his mouth.In this tent, there are six young masters, three regimental commanders and a group of battalion commanders, but he does not have the right to speak more as a company commander.

"Very good, this time Company Commander Ding made a contribution." Yang Chendong praised Ding Shan without hesitation after he finished talking about the situation.Afterwards, his gaze began to search the sand table, and soon he found the place Jiaoshan'ao.

Nuergandusi is today's Guanwai, now in the three provinces of Northeast China.When it has not been focused on development, apart from plains, there are mountains here.

High mountains, one after another, are continuous, giving people a very grand and magnificent feeling; plains are boundless, can't be seen at a glance, and can be seen far away.But there are also some special environments in this terrain, such as the Jiaoshan Col, which is the connection point between the high mountain and the plain, and belongs to the submountain area.

Chapter 638 Who Is The Oriole

Backing against the mountains can block the cold wind of the northeast winter. Such a place is suitable for the local people to live in, and gradually a village with hundreds of households is formed.The surrounding fields have also been properly developed.And there is another characteristic of such a place, that is, it is very suitable for ambushes.

There are high mountains and dense forests on one side of the Jiaoshan Col. Imagine if an ambush is ambushed there, what kind of effect will it have?If you are condescending, you may gain the upper hand.There are villages at the foot of the mountain, as long as the exit from the Ao is blocked, wouldn't the number of people who enter here be caught as many as they come?

Since Zhang Mingzhi chose this place for the transaction, he must have a plan.I'm afraid he has already arranged an eyeliner in this Jiaoshan'ao village. In other words, the other party has completely taken the lead. If Dingshan dares to play tricks, he must not be able to escape his eyes.

"How many enemies are there in Shuangchengwei, and how many troops might they send?" Yang Chendong only thought about it for a while, and then asked Chasing Wind, the head of the cavalry regiment who was standing aside.

Zhuifeng thought about it intently, and quickly gave a rough answer. "Back to the sixth young master, Shuangchengwei only has one thousand households stationed there, and there are only more than a thousand people. Since they want to swallow this war horse, they can't let the news out, and the people they send will not be too aggressive. It is estimated that in addition to the original [-] cavalry, at most [-] infantry will be dispatched, half of the force."

This is not chasing the wind's guess, but the result of countless experiences.There are often other alien races causing chaos in this area. The nearby Beiming cities often send half of their troops. After all, there are a large number of people and their own things in the city. They can't just throw away the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds. They are also afraid He fell into the opponent's trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and he didn't even have a nest when he turned around.

"Half the troops? Hehe, it's easy to handle." Yang Chendong naturally showed a confident smile on his face after hearing this.A plan was slowly forming in his mind.About half an hour later, he looked at the sand table again and again, and began to arrange combat tasks. "Commander Gao Danhua, together with Company Commander Dingshan and Company Commander Xu Yunsheng, you are going to deal with the Beiming army in Jiaoshan'ao. Remember, killing the enemy is a must, and taking down their horses is your main goal. Of course You can't let one person go, let the rumors go out; Battalion Commander Deng Yu, Battalion Commander Ma Xiongshan, you two cavalry battalions are responsible for dealing with the enemies of Mao Lianwei who may come to help. If there is no accident, it is inevitable that they will send [-] cavalry. Be sure to keep their horses; the rest of the people, together with Master Ben, ambushed the main cavalry of Jianzhou Left Guard in the Shishan area. Everyone should familiarize themselves with their missions and terrain as soon as possible. Get ready and leave in a day."

Relying on the superior force, excellent equipment, and the suddenness of the attack, Yang Chendong is 100% sure that he will severely damage the Beiming cavalry. Now the key question is how many horses can be left behind.And following his order, each regiment, battalion, and company began to quickly carry out pre-war mobilization and division of labor arrangements.

But just one day later, apart from an auxiliary company left in Haizhen to guard the supplies, all the other soldiers were dispatched, each heading towards their target.At the same time, a war horse in charge of communications also entered the Jianzhou Zuowei's guard.

The commander of Jianzhou Left Guard is named Chen Dula, he is a brave general, and the only senior general in the guard who did not rely on hereditary inheritance, and holds the official position of the third-rank military general of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Mingzhi and Ding Shan separated, they went to the barracks to find Qianhu Heying. After some discussion, the two felt that with their own strength, four hundred war horses could not be eaten by any means, so they decided to go to the top Report, please the superior Jianzhou Zuowei and Mao Lianwei in the neighboring city to send troops to help.As a benefit, with 150 war horses, Shuangchengwei got [-] horses, Mao Lianwei got [-] horses, and Jianzhou Zuowei got [-] horses alone.

There is no way, Jianzhou Zuowei is a guard, and the strength is too great. To ask them to make a move, they must give enough benefits, although they are all a family.But the brothers still have to settle accounts, don't they?As for Mao Lianwei, they just dispatched troops to cooperate, and they got fifty war horses for nothing, no matter how you look at it, it was a profit.

In Jianzhou Zuowei, Chen Dula, the commander who got the news, called Liang Xuan (from the third grade) and Tang Longtian (the fourth grade), the commander under his command, to discuss how to cooperate with the Shuangchengwei. Get rid of these four hundred war horses.

"This is a piece of fat, haha." Tang Longtian, who got the news, pinched his hands full of calluses and laughed.

"The guards of the two cities are quite sensible, and they gave us half of the benefits. That's it, this general will take one shot. Later, I will take two thousand cavalry for a trip. Hehe, then what can be done easily?" Commander Qian Liang Xuan spoke up, with an expression of arrogance on his face.

Liang Xuan inherited the position of commanding the affairs by relying on the virtue of his ancestors. In fact, the Liang family is considered a wealthy family in the whole Beiming, and ordinary people naturally would not put it in his eyes.This made him born with a sense of arrogance, even among the entire Jianzhou Left Guards, except for the commander Chen Dula, there was no one else who could catch his eyes. So it's over.Under the arrogance, and with the strong background of the Liang family, no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do here.

Even if it was Chen Dula, who was a half-ranked official, but due to the background of the Tang family, as long as Liang Xuan didn't do too much, he would pass by with a blind eye.

You can get 1000 war horses in one shot, which is definitely a great achievement. Needless to say, Liang Xuan is about to make a move because of this military exploit. What else can Chen Dula say?He also didn't think there was any force nearby that could stop his two thousand cavalry.oh!There is a team under the banner of the Five-Star Army, which is quite powerful, with more than [-] people, but the two sides have never had any direct contact, and the other party seems to have a very friendly attitude towards Bei Ming, so there is no need to consider their threats.

Besides, how could more than 1000 cavalry be the opponent of his [-] elite cavalry?Since there is no danger, let's go with Liang Xuan.

Chen Dula let go, and Liang Xuan naturally became the one who made up his mind. He called Hu Zhi, the governor of Weizhen, who was a fifth-rank officer, and asked him to gather two thousand cavalry and go with him to carry out military affairs in the morning the day after tomorrow.

The matter was settled like this. From the beginning to the end, no one asked the source of the four hundred war horses. It must be said that their nerves were really big.Perhaps the Beiming army has ruled here for many years, and they are used to the feeling that everything is under control.

The cavalry of Jianzhou Zuowei decided to set off early in the morning on the third day, because the trading time was set at noon that day, as long as they were fast enough, they would naturally be able to make it in time.It's just that Yang Chendong did set the departure time for the morning of the previous day, and it took nearly a day more to prepare. Based on this, the Beiming army has no reason to be invincible.Many people say that opportunities are prepared for those who are prepared. If you are not only weak, but also have insufficient preparation work and insufficient preparation time, how can you say that you are invincible?

On the scheduled morning of the third day, Jiaoshan Col suddenly became lively.The atmosphere in the small area, which originally consisted of only a hundred villages, was a little tense because of the sudden crowding of three hundred Northern Ming cavalry.

The [-] cavalry were personally led by deputy Qianhu Zhang Mingzhi.He didn't mean to hide it. After all, this time there are [-] war horses to be traded. If the number of people is small, how can we bring these war horses back?He believed that seeing this situation, even Ding Shan would not be able to say anything.

Of course, there are only [-] cavalry on the surface, but in the dark, on the back hill of Jiaoshan Col, there are still [-] infantry ambushing.If it wasn't for the safety of Shuangchengwei, even Qianhu Heying would have made a trip in person.

Three hundred cavalrymen, and two hundred infantrymen behind the scenes, this made Zhang Zhiming full of confidence. In addition, Mao Lianwei's three hundred cavalrymen and Jianzhou Zuowei's two thousand cavalrymen, which would appear one after another when he got the news, made him feel confident. He believes that everything is under control, and now he is only waiting for the seller Dingshan to appear.

The agreed time was noon.When the chimneys of each family in the small village of Jiaoshan'ao began to slowly rise up the curling smoke, a huge horse team drove up to the gate of the village.

The cavalry is composed of [-] war horses, each of which has a knight, not only that, there are more than a hundred people accompanying them, it looks like a huge team.

"Here we come!" Zhang Mingzhi noticed the horse team at the first time, with a smirk on his face and the appearance of a successful trick.Sure enough, this Ding Shan did not break his promise, he really brought a team of [-] horses, this man is really stupid, he dared to believe in himself like this.

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhi already regarded Ding Shan and the cavalry as the fat that jumped into the bowl. Although there were [-] cavalrymen and [-] men who appeared with the cavalry, they had been automatically ignored by him.What kind of place is this, but Nuer Gandusi of the Northern Ming Dynasty, does anyone dare to fight against the Ming army in this place?

Under the preconceived notion of being an official, he didn't even think that someone who dared to be their enemy would be detrimental to him. All the crises were ignored by him, and what he saw were all benefits and opportunities.
