After a while.
After thousands of officers and soldiers fought, only more than 800 people survived.
There is a complete difference between armor-piercing and non-armor-piercing. Fifty servants just beat hundreds of people back, but for Han Xi's intervention.
I'm afraid it's not going to be a scene of fifty people chasing a thousand people.
"Very good, the twenty of you performed best just now. Each of you can take ten silver coins from the bag." Han Xi said to the twenty most brave people.
These twenty people felt that if they were given a pair of armor, they would be qualified servants.
The twenty people named by Han Xi smiled and went up to the bag to pick up ten silver coins.
When the group of people behind saw him, they were all envious.
At this time, Han Xi spoke again: "As long as you perform well in the future, you will have many opportunities to receive rewards. Now everyone is going to stab the general."
The remaining several hundred officers and soldiers knew that this was the time to express their stance, so they did not hesitate and stabbed the dead general. Anyone who hesitated would be killed directly.
The next day, Han Xi put on official military clothes and headed towards Hukou Mountain with three thousand soldiers.
That's right, Han Xi is going to visit the capital and get some horses by the way.
Although artillery horses can be jammed, one artillery unit accounts for four people. Han Xi also wanted to raise soldiers systematically, so he only jammed more than 300 horses.
Han Xi looked at the system.
City: Yichuan
Population: 52,002
Maximum troop strength: 6050/2600
Currency: 10020 taels/silver
Popular support: 41
Food: 9050 stone
At this time, the upper limit of troop strength has exceeded 3,400, so the soldiers' rations will be deducted from the grain inventory.
Han Xi brought out 2,200 soldiers and 800 surrendered officers and soldiers, a total of 3,000 people.
One thousand people were responsible for transporting supplies, and there were more than 600 packhorses replaced by the system, carrying three thousand dan of food. The remaining two thousand were all cavalry.
Han Xi also brought twenty three-pound horse-drawn cannon.
Three thousand shi of food is enough for the army to consume for more than a month.
After winter, people and horses did not use boats and went directly across the Yellow River.
A few days later.
Han Xi entered Pingyang Mansion with the identity token obtained from the general.
A group of people entered Pingyang Mansion.
A Niu, wearing a burly armor, walked to the front of the team. After entering the city, he looked around, as if Grandma Liu was entering the official garden.
Han Xi, who was following behind, was doing much better.
"Idiot, don't act like you have never seen the world. You are now a general." Xu San reminded secretly.
"Oh oh oh!" After hearing this, A Niu stopped looking around.
"Good-hearted uncle, I'm so pitiful, please reward me with a few copper coins!" Several beggars pestered the traveling merchants who came into the city along the way to ask for copper coins.
When they saw Han Xi and his party, they stayed far away.
"Come here." Han Xi looked at the beggars sharply and shouted. When the beggars saw them, they could only walk up obediently.
"I wonder what the military masters have ordered." asked an older beggar.
Han Xi took out a few coins from his arms and threw them into the bowls of several people: "Take me to the grain store."
That's right, Han Xi and his party came to the city not only to see the city, but also to replenish some grains for the horses.
Several beggars immediately beamed with joy when they saw the copper plate in the bowl, and immediately led the way.
After a while, Han Xi and his party were taken to a very large Kang's grain store.
When the shopkeeper in the grain store saw several officers and soldiers entering the grain store, he immediately went to greet them and asked, "I wonder what these military masters are here for?"
"Five hundred stones of soybeans. How long will it take?" Han Xi asked directly.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "Five hundred stones of soybeans cost two hundred and twenty taels. I wonder what month the military master is?"
The shopkeeper's meaning is very obvious, do you have any money?
Five hundred shi of soybeans is not a small amount, it is a full 75,000 kilograms.
Naturally, the shopkeeper had to see Yinzi before he could confirm that these people were not here to seek his own pleasure.
Han Xi was a little surprised when he heard the price of soybeans. He didn't expect them to be so cheap.
At this time, the price of soybeans in Yichuan County has risen to seven coins per stone, and five hundred stones is three hundred and fifty taels.
Xu San glanced at Han Xi and saw him nodding, so he took a cloth bag from his waist and took a look.
The shopkeeper looked inside through the mouth of the bag and immediately saw the silvery stuff inside. He immediately showed a chrysanthemum-like smile and said, "Can you take a look?"
"Um!"
Seeing the other person nodding, the shopkeeper reached out and wiped a silver ingot from the bag and looked at it.
It was found that there were no teeth marks or holes on the silver ingot. It is a batch of silver that has not been circulated. This made the shopkeeper carefully look at Han Xi and his party again, guessing the origin of this group of people.
Then, the shopkeeper bit the silver ingot first, and then used an awl to make a hole in the silver.
This is how people in the Ming Dynasty identified silver.
Han Xi once saw a silver ingot full of holes and teeth marks, which left him speechless.
After confirming that the money was fine, the shopkeeper smiled and asked, "I wonder where the food will be transported?"
"Just transport it to Xujia Village, five miles outside the city." Han Xi said.
When the shopkeeper heard that it was shipped five miles outside the city, he charged another five taels for shipping.
In this way, Han Xi purchased a batch of miscellaneous grains.
Han Xi asked the grain store about the prices of other grains, and they found they were very cheap.
Wheat costs only five cents a pound, four times cheaper than in Yichuan.
If you transport 600 shi to Yichuan, you can earn more than 1,000 taels.
Even so, no merchant would really transport so much food there.
Because the poor cannot afford it and the rich don’t need it, these grains will only fall into their own hands in the end.
Han Xi spent half a day wandering around the city.
Then he left Pingyang Mansion.
All kinds of food, meat and vegetables in Pingyang Prefecture are more than twice as cheap as in Yan'an Prefecture.
From the looks of it, Pingyang Mansion has not been affected by the Shaanxi thieves.
After receiving five hundred stones of food, the team set off again.
After traveling along the official road for a month, we finally arrived at Shuntian Mansion.
At this time, when we walked to the official road, we could already see the Shuntian capital in the distance, which was very majestic.
A Niu and Xu San opened their eyes wide when they saw it. Pingyang Mansion dazzled them both. The shock that Shuntian Mansion gave them at this time can be imagined.
"Brother Xi, does the emperor live there?" A Niu was so surprised that he forgot to address him.
After hearing this, Han Xi laughed: "Yes! The emperor at this time is a child, not an old man."
"Hey! Mr. Han Qian, can we sneak into the city and have a look?" Xu Sanxi looked at Han Xi expectantly.
At this time, Han Xi and Xu San were both Mr. Qian under A Niu.
This month, on the road, Han Xi and his party often sneaked into the cities along the way. Nowadays, several people are becoming more and more bold.
"Of course you have to go in and take a look when you're here." Han Xi said proudly.
Just as a group of people were chatting, they went to Shuntian Mansion to take a look.
I saw a bunch of sparks rising in the sky in the distance.
Han Xi was surprised when he saw it. Normally, the scouts would come back to report the news.
Flares will only be set off under special circumstances.
"Prepare for war!" Han Xi pulled out his sword and shouted.
Suddenly more than two thousand cavalrymen drew their swords.
