Although the army has gathered at Dagokou, there are still many things to do next, and they will not set off until they are fully prepared.
The next day, Han Du hadn't woken up yet, and Zhu Di came to see Han Du early in the morning.
This forced Han Du to get up sleepily, put on his clothes and went to see Zhu Di.
"I didn't know His Highness King Yan was here, but I was late to greet him. Please forgive me." As soon as Han Du saw him, he immediately clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee towards Zhu Di.
Although Zhu Di waited for Han Du for a while, he felt a little dissatisfied. But he wouldn't have a fight with Han Du right now. Instead, he immediately stretched out his hand to help Han Du up with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I just happened to come to you, so I came in to take a look."
Since Han Du arrived late, the good campsites were occupied by others. The camp where Han Du is now is extremely remote, and it is impossible for Zhu Di to just walk to this camp, unless Zhu Di came to find him on purpose.
"My lord is here, I wonder if any ministers can help?" Han Du followed Zhu Di and wandered around the camp in boredom.
Han Du also had some guesses as to why Zhu Di came here. He might have come to see the military capabilities of Shanzi Camp, or he might have come to test himself.
After all, Tang Ding could clearly see his situation at the banquet yesterday.
If King Yan really had something in his heart, it would be impossible for him not to mutter something. I made a special trip to find myself to test it out, and it made sense.
But Zhu Di did not answer Han Du's words, and just kept scanning everything in the military camp.
Suddenly Zhu Di's expression changed slightly, and then he turned his head and smiled and said to Handu with a sigh: "Everyone under your command actually has a blunderbuss. This is really unexpected for me. I begged my father again and again, In the end, my father only gave me three thousand branches. Do you have thousands of people here?"
Zhu Di said it sincerely. He really envied Han Du for being able to get so many revolvers. Even he was still thinking in his heart, why did his father care more about Han Du than he did? This king can't even ask for a weapon. Han Du casually has 8,000 people under his command, and he can have one in each hand?
Han Du laughed twice. He originally wanted to say that this was approved directly by him, the head of the Arms Bureau, without Lao Zhu's consent at all. But he suddenly thought about it, what if Zhu Di took advantage of the situation and asked himself to give him approval too?
Therefore, Han Du simply swallowed the words he was about to say and kept silent.
Zhu Di didn't pay attention. He also thought that these muskets were given to Han Du by his father. Because since he got the revolver, Lao Zhu has been super strict with it. Ordinary people can't even take out one, let alone transfer 10,000 revolvers like Han Du at once.
"What are they wearing on their waists?" Zuolun Zhu Di had seen them before, and he was no stranger to bullets. But now there were several things hanging on the left waist of the soldiers of Shanziying. It was the first time for Zhu Di to see them.
"Oh, these are a batch of sky-shattering thunders that the emperor ordered the Ordnance Bureau to rush out. Didn't I come late? The emperor gave these to me." Han Du now understands, no matter what Zhu Di likes , he said it was given by the emperor.
If Zhu Di wants it, he can go to your father if he has the guts.
Anyway, no one can reach out and dig out the things that fall into their mouths.
Zhu Di was just curious about this thing and didn't think about what he wanted. But this is because Zhu Di doesn't know the power of Zhentian Lei. If he knew, it would be hard to say whether he would take it from Han Du's mouth by force.
But the expression on Han Du's face was still too obvious, and Zhu Di also noticed what Han Du meant. Not only did he not leave, but he smiled and said to Han Du: "Don't worry, I won't have any plans for you."
After finishing speaking, Han Du nodded in agreement with a smile, but his expression was obviously unbelieving.
Gritting his teeth, Zhu Di simply prepared to shed some blood and said: "I am here this time just to ask you if there is anything you need help with. If you are lacking anything, just tell me."
Now that Zhu Di has said this, Han Du naturally has no reason to be polite to Zhu Di. Han Du can also climb up the ladder.
"Then thank you Your Highness. It just so happens that I am really in trouble for something today. With Your Highness's words, I finally have hope."
Zhu Di was immediately choked by Han Du's words. He had never seen such a shameless person. He was obviously holding his pocket just now, and his eyes were guarding me as if he were guarding against a thief, but now he is asking for benefits from me without blushing or heartbeat?
I'm just being polite!
Zhu Di wanted to shout these words out loud, but facing Han Du's rogue look, he could only hold the words in his heart.
Han Du can shamelessly do such a thing, but I am the majestic King of Yan, so I still need to be shameless.
"Tell me what difficulties you have and see if I can give you some advice?"
Zhu Di behaved much better this time and no longer dared to speak his mind fully. He just said that he would help Han Du come up with ideas, but did not directly agree to help.
Han Du doesn't care about being shameless. Anyway, you, Zhu Di, have promised me a thousand dollars. Now that I have said it, if I let you run away, my surname will not be Han.
"I want to bring some cannons into the grassland, and I want to ask the prince to help me find some carriages to use for pulling iron balls of gunpowder."
It turns out that I just wanted some carriages... This is simple. Anyway, there are many carriages for transporting grain and grass, and they are not valuable. It is nothing to give some to Han Du. Zhu Di felt relieved. It was worth saving his face with a little carriage.
However, Zhu Di was afraid that Han Du would ask for something from him after he asked for the carriage, so he pointed at an officer behind him and introduced to Han Du: "This is Xie Gui, who is in charge of the army's food and grass management. Since the Marquis of Zhenhai wants the carriage, Then allocate some to Marquis Zhenhai."
After giving orders to Xie Gui, in order to prevent Han Du from asking for things again and again, Zhu Di turned around and smiled at Han Du: "If you want a carriage, just ask Xie Gui. I have important things to do." I won’t go with you.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Du bowed to Zhu Di with joy.
Then he accompanied Zhu Di with a diligent look on his face, and it was not until he sent Zhu Di out of the military camp to leave that Han Du looked away.
Then Han Du turned around, looked at Xie Gui with a smile, and asked, "It's Xie Gui, right? You heard what the prince said just now. Go and find the carriage for me."
Han Du was not polite at all to Xie Gui, and looked bossy.
Xie Gui's expression changed, and his face suddenly turned ugly, but soon he put on a smile again, and asked with a smile: "Since there is an order from the prince, I will naturally obey it, I wonder how many carriages the prince wants? I'll go get ready now."
"One hundred vehicles." Han Du looked at Xie Gui with squinted eyes and said calmly.
"A hundred cars?" Xie Gui didn't believe his ears, and was angry at Han Du's lion opening his mouth.
Yes, a carriage is not worth much money. Even if it is a hundred, it is only worth a thousand guan at most. But now is an emergency period, and the army also needs carriages to transport food and grass. If Han Du gives all the carriages to Han Du, what will he use to transport food?
"Impossible, the lower official can only give the Marquis ten cars at most." Xie Gui opened his mouth and cut off Han Du's number to the toes.
Han Du naturally refused to agree, and jumped up anxiously, as if he was unwilling to give up, and shouted: "How can ten cars be enough? For the sake of His Highness King Yan, I will take one step back, ninety cars , even if one car is missing!”
"Master Marquis, the army needs a lot of carriages to transport food. Even if we don't give them to the Marquis, the current carriages are not enough. I will give you at most twenty vehicles." Xie Gui said as his spittle flew everywhere, and he looked like a He had to argue with Han Du and refuse to give in.
"Eighty cars, this is my bottom line. If it's less, I'll have to ask His Highness King Yan, isn't his word worth these carriages?" Han Du looked at Xie Gui with a sneer. , making threats.
If Han Du really goes to find King Yan, it will really be a huge trouble for Xie Gui.
If nothing else, at least his status in King Yan's heart would drop a lot. After all, if he couldn't handle such a trivial matter well, what use could King Yan have to him?
Prince Yan's Mansion does not raise waste.
Xie Gui did not panic at all about Han Du's threat, and said calmly: "Why do you need to go to the prince for a trivial matter? Mr. Hou, in fact, what we both have in mind is fifty cars. Let's just settle the deal with fifty cars." How about it? Why do you have to bargain bit by bit, back and forth?"
"Fifty-one."
I didn't say that fifty cars were sold, it was you Xie Gui who said that. Since Xie Gui missed the bottom line, Han Du would have to take advantage no matter what.
"Deal!" Xie Gui did not expect that Han Du, the dignified Marquis of Zhenhai, would be so snobbish. But it was just a carriage, and he couldn't afford it.
"Also, you have to give me some craftsmen." Han Du was not satisfied yet, so he put forward another condition.
"What does the Marquis want the craftsmen to do?" Han Du took advantage of this once and immediately wanted to do it a second time, which made Xie Gui a little unbearable. He was not ready to agree to Han Du.
Han Du's eyes widened and he said dissatisfied: "This carriage will always break down, right? If I don't have a craftsman, how will I repair the carriage after it breaks down? Do you want me to do it myself?"
This... Xie Gui found that he had no reason to refute. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, I can give the Marquis ten craftsmen to repair the carriage, but the Marquis has to agree to it. This is the last condition. No more."
Han Du waved his hand carelessly, "Go down and get ready. Send the carriage and craftsmen to me quickly."
Seeing that Han Du did not make any further requests, Xie Gui quickly bowed and said, "I will excuse you."
Seeing Xie Gui leave, Han Du showed a smile and said nothing more. What he wanted was a carriage and a craftsman. Han Du really didn't value other things.
