Yang Chendong didn't mean to embarrass them. After Ding Shan took the order, he set out to enter Narcissus town 20 miles away. He reported to his home and said he wanted to see general bolt of the Nvzhen department.
Yang Chendong and mercenaries were not named because there was no news here and I didn't know what to say. This time, Ding Shan reported the name of the red flag army. In the nuergandisi area, the red flag army also has some influence.
The Nvzhen cavalry below reported Ding Shan's identity to the general. At this time, bolt was discussing with his two generals in a large civilian house, talking about how to deal with Mongolian general bagan.
For a while, bagan began to recruit again. He even attracted the eyes of most young people in the town in the name of giving five liang of silver and twenty Jin of meat in a month. It is said that many people have started to sign up. Once Bagan's power expands, it will naturally form a threat to bolt, which he doesn't want to see.
Besides, Bagan's move has broken the rules. According to the previous agreement between the two sides, no matter who is, conscription is allowed, but the treatment standard should be the same. It's two liang of silver and five Jin of meat in January. Under the same standard, the people in the town can join any party they want.
It is said that women really have 4000 soldiers to ride, while Mongolia has only 2500 soldiers to ride. Compared with this, people who want to join the army naturally know how to choose. Choosing the strong rather than the weak is a kind of psychology of most people. In this way, the so-called fairness does not exist, which makes bolt stronger and bagan weaker.
Unable to force, the other party had to break the rules and would rather pay more in order to attract more people to join their cavalry team.
A tough man has the seat on the left lower side of the right, and after hearing the general's words, he fiercely clap the table and says with a very irascible tone, "Bahn is not following the rules, that is, he will eventually send out troops to fight him, and let him know who has the final say in Narcissus."
"General Hulu, please calm down." looking at the people under him so anxious, bolt was not angry, but secretly happy in his heart. He likes people like Hu Lu. He has a straight temper and doesn't hide any heart. When he uses such people, he will be more relieved.
General Hulu had already expressed his views, and bolt's eyes fell on the man on the right. His name was Huili Bu, and his mind was obviously much deeper.
I didn't immediately express my opinion and decision, but said after pondering: "Of course, a bagan won't be in our eyes. We have 4000 cavalry. As long as we launch an attack, they can't stop it for long, and it must be them who will lose in the end. But don't forget that behind them is a powerful Mongolia. Although their rule is far away from here, who can guarantee that they won't think of us if they come to a five How should we deal with thousands of Mongolian cavalry? Can we win a war? "
"This..." Hu Lu wanted to say something, but after listening to this, he still had to shut his mouth for a long time.
Bort also sighed in his heart at the moment. Mongolia is so powerful that he has to think carefully when he wants to do something to Bagan, because he can't afford it once the terrible consequences come.
What he wanted in his heart was to develop and strengthen himself through the place of Narcissus Town, rather than attract others to attack him. In order to achieve this goal, he didn't even recruit soldiers in the town, because he knew that there must be spies from the Beiming army here. Now he has only 4000 cavalry, and he won't be seen as a threat by the Beiming army, but if he absorbs all the men in the town as soldiers If his subordinates, the force can grow several times in an instant, which will naturally attract the attention of the army of the northern Ming Dynasty. At that time, once the other party sends a large army to encircle and suppress, whether he can have a foothold will become a problem.
"Alas, if we say so, do we want to see bagan grow step by step until he threatens us?" he sighed, and bolt said in an unconvinced tone.
"Well... Maybe we can send someone to discuss with bagan. After all, we can't get the same conditions. If it's a big deal, we'll do the same. Presumably, the men in the town will choose to join us." general Huili said tentatively.
Although they didn't save too much money due to the environment, they didn't have any inventory at all. It's really urgent. They also offered the same conditions. The big deal is that both lose.
"It seems that only such a person can be." Bo nodded, which is the same as what he thought before. But in this way, his money will shrink a lot. In the long run, he will not have enough income. I'm afraid that one day, he will not be able to even spend military expenses.
When bolt just nodded his head and made a decision, a soldier came in outside the house, knelt down and said, "general, a man who claims to be a five-star army wants to see you."
"Five Star Army." bolt is no stranger to this name. He knows that this is also a team with thousands of cavalry and some combat effectiveness. But that's all. After all, his strength is more than three times that of the other party. "Well, can someone say what's the matter?"
"No, the visitor called himself Dingshan and said he had business to talk to the general. As for what business, he really didn't dare to talk to us." the soldier knelt down and answered truthfully.
"Business? Hehe, please invite him in." bolt smiled, which is also a common thing. It's no wonder that ordinary people and businessmen come to contact him because they will get fur goods such as rat skin, as well as things urgently needed outside, such as haidongqing and pearl.
However, such businessmen usually appear in early spring and late autumn. It is summer, and there are few businessmen who still talk business with themselves.
With curious eyes, Hu Lu and general huilibu didn't move. They were also curious about what business the red flag Dingshan wanted to talk to them.
The soldiers left and soon returned, followed by Ding Shan with a smile on his face. As soon as he got into the house, he humbly hugged his fist and saluted the three men one by one. "Dingshan has seen three generals. How are the three generals."
"Well, are you Ding Shan of the five-star army? What position do you hold there?" he asked back without taking the initiative. He also acted as a pioneer. You can't let the general do something in person.
"The talent of villains is limited, just any company commander." Ding Shan still smiled and couldn't express his sincerity.
"Company commander?" he frowned back. Obviously, he had never heard of this position. "Company commander? I don't know how many men and horses brother Ding is in charge of?"
"Oh, there are only a hundred people." Ding Shan still said with a smile. He didn't belittle himself because he could only lead a hundred soldiers.
"A hundred people? Ha ha, ha ha." the three of them laughed when they heard that each other was just a centurion. What majestic official position has the company commander been? I didn't expect to be a centurion. By the way, Ding Shan must also know his official position. He was embarrassed to say it. Only then did he deliberately say that he was a company commander, but he was finally seen through by the three people. Alas, I don't know what the five-star army thinks. When they come to see themselves, they just send a centurion. Does that mean they despise themselves?
All three of them seem to think of something. There is a trace of anger on their faces. When Ding Shan looks at them, he naturally knows that the other party's heart has changed. He also sighs in his heart. You don't know the strength of the five-star army. It's enough for you to send me here.
Of course, he can't say these words, and no one will believe them. Thinking about his mission, he put away his original smile and said as seriously as possible: "three generals, I'm actually trading with you this time. I think it doesn't matter what my identity is in front of interests."
"HMM." I couldn't resist my anger. "When you say the transaction, let's talk about the content and amount of the transaction."
They didn't refuse immediately. They wanted to wait for Ding Shan to finish his words and humiliate the other party. After all, they were just a centurion. They really didn't think the other party could come up with anything to tempt themselves.
Ignoring the other party's indifferent attitude, Ding Shan finally opened his mouth, "three generals, our five-star army appears here to buy war horses. We know that many war horses of the noble are kept in captivity. If we eat food for nothing there, we might as well sell it to us. It's the best of both worlds."
"Buy horses? Do you want to buy war horses?" still went back and said this silently, and then laughed, "Ding... Company commander, right, but I don't know how many horses you want? What price can you pay?"
Deliberately accentuated the words "several horses", which means satirizing Ding Shan. As a mere centurion, you can be a great master. Even if you buy a few horses, they should only buy a few. Although the sale of war horses is indeed the main input of their Nuzhen family's financial resources, they will not pay attention to it if it is only a few horses.
How many?
Ding Shan sneered at each other in his heart, and his tone changed to a very proud attitude. He had thought about it. Whoever said that businessmen must bow their heads, it was a small businessman. He is a big businessman, that is, he is a big businessman. He is worried about a large amount of silver. It is not that he wants to see others' faces, but that others want to see his mood. At this moment, Ding Shan, whose tone also changed, was like a different person compared with that just now. "Three generals, you must be mistaken. Our five-star army doesn't want a few horses, but how many we have. As for the price, it's easy to discuss."
