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, before Han Du woke up, 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. However, he would not have an argument with Han Du 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 walk to you."
Here, come in and take a look."
Because Han Du arrived late, the good campsites were occupied by others. The camp where Han Du was now was extremely remote, and it was 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 of my 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 yesterday's banquet.
If King Yan really had something in his heart, it was impossible that he wouldn't have made some grumbles. He made a special trip to see him 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 said to Handu with a smile and 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 sticks. 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? I beg you all.
If there is no sharp weapon, Han Du can easily have 8,000 people under his command, and each one of them can have one?
Han Du laughed dryly. He originally wanted to say that this was approved directly by him, the head of the Arms Bureau, without Lao Zhu's consent. But he suddenly remembered that if Zhu Di took advantage of the situation, he asked himself to approve it too.
If so, what should we do?
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. Since he had the revolver, Lao Zhu had guarded it extremely closely, and ordinary people could not even take one.
out, let alone like Han Du who transferred 10,000 units at once.
"What are they carrying on their waists?" Zuolun Zhu Di has seen it before, and he is no stranger to bullets. But now there are several things hanging on the left waists of the soldiers of Shanzi Camp. It is 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 courage.
Anyway, no one can reach out and dig out something that falls into their mouth.
Zhu Di was just curious about this thing and didn't think about asking for anything. But this was because Zhu Di didn'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.
Already.
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 he finished speaking, he saw Han Du nodding in agreement with a smile, but his expression clearly showed disbelief.
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 up by Han Du's words. He had never seen such a shameless person. He was obviously covering his pocket just now and his eyes were guarding me as if he were guarding against thieves, but now his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
Do you want any benefits from talking to me?
I am just being polite!
Zhu Di wanted to shout these words out loud, but facing Han Du's rogue appearance, he could only hold the words in his heart.
Han Du can do such a thing shamelessly, but I am the majestic King of Yan, so I still want to be shameless.
"Let me know if you have any difficulties and see if I can give you some advice?"
This time Zhu Di learned a lot better and never
He didn't dare to finish his words. He just said that he was helping Han Du come up with ideas, but he didn't agree to help outright.
Han Du doesn't care about being shameless. Anyway, you, Zhu Di, have promised me a thousand pieces of gold. 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 turned out that he just wanted some carriages. There were many carriages for transporting grain and grass anyway, and they were not valuable. It was nothing to give Han Du some. Zhu Di felt relieved. It was worth using a few carriages to save his face.
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 avoid Han Du 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 matters to attend to."
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 wasn't until he sent Zhu Di out of the barracks to leave that Han Du looked back.
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 he soon 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 all the carriages are given to Han Du, he will
What to use to transport food?
"Impossible, the lower official can only give the Marquis ten vehicles at most." Xie Gui opened his mouth and cut off Han Du's number to the last bit.
Han Du naturally refused to agree. He jumped up anxiously and shouted, "How can ten cars be enough? For the sake of His Highness King Yan, I will take one more step back and ask for ninety cars."
, one less car
no!"
"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 can give you at most twenty carriages to the Marquis." Xie Gui said as his spittle flew everywhere.
He would 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 will drop a lot. After all, if he can't handle such a trivial matter well, then what use can King Yan use him for?
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 so. Since Xie Gui missed the bottom line, Han Du must take advantage no matter what.
"Deal!" Xie Gui didn't expect that Han Du, the dignified Marquis of Zhenhai, would be so snobbish. 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 and put forward another condition.
"What does the Marquis want from the craftsmen?" 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?"
Xie Gui found that he had no reason to refute. He had 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.
It’s gone.”
Han Du waved his hand carelessly, "Go down and get ready, and quickly send the carriage and craftsman to me."
Seeing that Han Du really didn't make any further requests, Xie Gui quickly bowed and said, "I'll excuse you."
Seeing Xie Gui leave, Han Du showed a smile and said nothing more. What he wanted was the carriage and the craftsman, and Han Du really didn't value other things.
