Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Eight The Rebellious Three Guards of Wuliangha
"What kind of clothes is this? It feels softer than linen."
"I don't know, this is cotton. Only clothes made of cotton can be called cotton clothes."
"Cotton? Is it more expensive than linen?"
"Of course, my hometown also grows cotton, but only wealthy families can afford to wear cotton. And this doesn't seem to be an ordinary cotton coat. I have seen cotton coats before, but they are not so thick."
"No matter what kind of cotton-padded clothes it is, put it on quickly and let's become rich for a while."
After a few soldiers laughed and took off their clothes and put on cotton clothes.
But within a moment, surprised voices came out one after another. "Huh? This cotton coat is amazing. It makes you warm when you put it on!"
"Yes, yes, then the Marquis really didn't lie to us!"
Before the stupid young man could finish being happy, he received a slap on the back of his head.
"Which grandson dares to hit me?"
The one who was beaten suddenly turned around, his eyes full of dissatisfaction. None of the fighting men on the battlefield had a good temper, and all of them were very hot-tempered. They could draw their swords and kill the opponent in five steps without making a mistake, let alone being beaten.
There was a sneak attack and a beating.
But when he saw the person behind him, the anger on his face instantly turned into flattery. He bowed his head and said, "Hey, is it you? You've been here without saying a word."
An old soldier stood there, glanced at the person in front of him with cold eyes, paused and asked, "Who is the grandson?"
"Ouch~" The young soldier had a flattering look on his face and lightly slapped his face twice, "Of course I am the grandson and you are the master!"
"Hahaha"
The soldier's behavior made everyone burst into laughter.
Someone said to the old soldier, "Tou Chen, don't be like this guy. He has no clue. Come and sit down."
Chen Toushi took two steps calmly, passed the soldiers, walked over and sat down.
When the young soldier saw that the matter was over, he smiled and scratched the back of his head without embarrassment.
As soon as Chen Tou sat down, someone saw that he had changed into cotton clothes.
He smiled and asked, "Tou Chen, how do you feel about wearing your cotton-padded clothes under your armor?"
"Hahaha, that's great!" When Chen Tou saw someone asking him, the conversation started immediately. "In the past, we wore this armor. Although we were not afraid of swords, it was really cold in this weather. Now it's better.
, there is a layer of cotton-padded clothes in between, so no matter how cold it is, it won’t get cold inside.”
"Yes, this cotton coat is really good. I didn't expect that we could also use it."
Someone chimed in with emotion.
After hearing this, Old Chentou nodded heavily and said, "Although this Marquis of Zhenhai is young, he doesn't seem to be very powerful. But he really has nothing to say to us big-headed soldiers."
As he spoke, he tugged at the hem of his clothes and said, "Although I don't know how much a cotton-padded coat like this is worth, the cotton cloth alone is worth a lot, plus the cotton wrapped in it. A pound of cotton is worth about a hundred yuan now.
You can also weigh how much this shirt weighs, right? The cotton alone of this shirt is worth hundreds of cash, and if it is sold, it will cost more than that."
"consistent!"
Everyone smacked their lips, no one among them had ever worn such expensive clothes in their lives.
Suddenly, several soldiers who had been sitting on the ground chatting about mountains stood up instantly as if their buttocks had been burned with a soldering iron. They quickly slapped their buttocks hard several times and looked around to see if there was any dirt on them.
"Then we have an army of more than 40,000 people. Wouldn't it mean that the more than 40,000 guans will be gone at once? This Marquis of Zhenhai is really willing to give up!"
"Hey, I could only wear single clothes before. If I went to the grassland, I would freeze to death. Now that I can wear this cotton coat, even if I die in battle, it will be worth it. Anyway, I will give these hundred and ten kilograms to the Marquis of Zhenhai
Well, it is better to die wearing this cotton-padded clothes than to freeze to death."
"That's right, I used to be so cold that my nose and mouth were watering every day, and you still laughed at me. But now that I'm wearing this cotton-padded coat, my nose is gone and my face is getting hot, so I'm ready to risk it all
"My life is gone"
After everyone chatted for a while, Mr. Chen waved his hand to calm everyone down.
When everyone looked at him, Old Chen lowered his eyes and fiddled with the gadgets in his hands, saying, "Anyway, the old man has been hanging around in this military camp for so many years, so he finally understands.
Whether you have made meritorious service on the battlefield or won the battle, it has nothing to do with us Qiu Ba. But the cotton-padded clothes you are wearing are more practical than anything else, don’t you think?"
"Hahaha" everyone laughed instantly and nodded in agreement.
Don't think that those scholars yelled "If you are a scholar and a marquis of ten thousand households", you, a big-headed soldier, can really make a name for yourself by virtue of your military exploits. Let's not talk about whether you can achieve military exploits alive, even if you do. People are close and distant,
There will be no shortage of people in this military camp who are close to generals, big and small.
You only need to use a pen to transfer your military achievements to others, and it can also make you unable to make sense.
Which of the people sitting here has never encountered these things? In fact, they have encountered them more than once.
Han Du did not expect that just by letting these soldiers wear cotton-padded clothes, they would gain such a wave of loyalty. Han Du just couldn't bear to see that there were still people wearing single clothes in such a cold weather.
After leaving the troops and horses of King Ning and King Liao to Xu Chengfei to take charge, Han Du came to the palace of King Liao again and found King Ning.
"What are you going to do?" When Zhu Quan saw Han Du now, his face was full of vigilance. Although it was the imperial brother's order to hand over the troops and horses to Han Du, Zhu Quan always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. ??
Han Du smiled and bowed his hands in greeting, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you something."
Zhu Quan didn't say anything, he just raised his eyes and looked at Han Du. The meaning was very obvious, if you have something to say, you will fart if you have something to say!
Han Du then asked again, "I heard that the prince is in charge of the three guards of Wu Liangha. Why didn't he see the three guards of Wu Liangha during this expedition?"
Soldiers and horses?"
"The three guards of Wu Liangha?" Zhu Quan suddenly became confused, "Didn't I give you all my troops and horses? What does it matter if the three guards of Wu Liangha didn't come?"
Han Du was stunned. He never thought that Zhu Quan would speak for the three guards of Wuliangha.
He immediately hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the three guards of Wuliangha are not weak. If they stay here, after the army sets off, the troops here will be empty, which may give them an opportunity. The lower official thinks that not only Wuliangha must be
The three guards sent out troops, but they couldn't leave them with any strength. Otherwise, something might happen!" Zhu Quan was shocked. This matter would have nothing to do with Han Du. Anyway, Han Du would go out with his army, and Wu Liang would
No matter how courageous Ha Sanwei was, he would not dare to attract the attention of the army.
On the contrary, Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi who stay here are in danger. If the three guards of Wuliangha really have inappropriate thoughts, their lives may not be saved!
If the three guards of Wuliangha do not send troops, Zhu Quan himself will be in danger!
Zhu Quan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and his face turned dark.
Facing Han Du's piercing eyes, Zhu Quan had no choice but to speak even if he was unwilling to do so.
He hesitated and said, "This is actually true."
Han Du immediately realized that there was something wrong here, his eyes widened instantly, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, what happened to the three guards of Wuliangha?"
Zhu Quan suddenly
He sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you. In the 20th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty defeated Nahachu, and my father set up the three Wuliangha guards here. But only two years later, the three Wuliangha guards broke up with the Ming Dynasty.
When I became a vassal, I only had messengers with the three guards of Wuliangha. It is true that I am in charge of the three guards of Wuliangha."
Zhu Quan let out a long sigh, his tone full of helplessness.
Only then did Han Du know the true situation of the three guards of Wu Liangha, and he was shocked and asked, "Since the prince knew that the three guards of Wu Liangha were rebelling, why didn't he report it to the court?"
When Zhu Quan heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Han Du thought for a moment and understood Zhu Quan's plan.
He hasn't become a vassal yet
Wu Liangha's three guards had already rebelled, and it was not his fault. But if he reported it to the court, it would definitely arouse the anger of Lao Zhu at that time. Maybe he would send troops again, and Zhu Quan would be the first to bear the brunt.
.
But at that time, Zhu Quan had just taken over the feudal vassal, and everything had not yet stabilized, let alone the 80,000 armored sergeants now. What would he do if Lao Zhu ordered him to conquer the three guards of Wuliangha?
Now that the matter has come to this, Han Du doesn't want to delve into it any further. The most important thing now is, what should the three guards of Wuliangha do?
"Your Majesty, can you still contact the three guards of Wuliangha now?"
Seeing that Han Du did not continue to pursue the case, Zhu Quan felt relieved and nodded subconsciously, "We can still get in touch, but I have already said that the three guards of Wuliangha will not listen to me now. If you think that
If I, the king, can summon them, then you better not have any hope."
Han Du was silent for a moment and said thoughtfully, "If you can't summon me, you have to summon me!"
As he said that, he suddenly looked up at Zhu Quan and said sternly, "It's okay if the three guards of Wu Liangha come. If they don't come, I will kill them first and then go to conquer the Tatars!"
The hidden dangers of leaving the three guards of Wuliangha here are too great. If they rebel after leaving with the army and injure Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi, how can I explain to Zhu Biao? At that time, I am afraid that the DPRK will
I don’t know how many people will criticize me for this.
The three guards of Wuliangha have only one way to go, either lead their troops and follow them to the battle obediently, or die!
Zhu Quan was not surprised by Han Du's decision. He thought about it and nodded slowly.
"Okay, I will send someone to inform them now. But I cannot guarantee whether they will come."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Du immediately bowed and retreated.
