After Shi Dayong agreed to keep Chen Youshi's belongings, his subordinates immediately became excited. [1 38kanshu.com, text first published, member login 1 38kanshu.com]
Qi Sanbao's proposal to inventory the captives' belongings was immediately implemented, but it was not Qi Sanbao who led the search, but Li Dashan and Shao Wu.
Jiang Wanli led people to transport the property that Chen Youyou had snatched from Haixing County to that yard. It was visually estimated that it could hold more than a dozen boxes, and most of them were gold, with a small amount of silver. In this batch of property, There is a Buddha statue made of pure gold. It is said that it was built by Zhang Guowei, the richest man in Haixing City, to celebrate his mother's birthday.
Fortunately, this golden Buddha did not bring Buddha's blessing to Zhang's mother. Instead, it attracted the butcher's knife of the rebels. All 260 members of the Zhang family were killed, and the Zhang family's mansion was burned to the ground. .The fire burned for two days before it stopped.[
The captives were extremely lucky to have survived. If there is no life outside the body, there is no use in having more money. Therefore, Li Dashan and Shao Wu's inventory work went smoothly. Although some prisoners also hid a batch of , but the overall amount of gold and silver paid was also astonishing.
Finally, after counting, there were more than 16,000 taels of gold and less than 10,000 taels of silver. There were also some objects, and even a batch of calligraphy and paintings. Since the Jinzhou Army had no knowledgeable people, they could not estimate the value, so they used them for the time being. I have saved the two boxes and will find someone to sell them after I return to Jinzhou after the Shandong Rebellion.
According to Shi Dayong's preferences and vision, a genuine "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was placed in front of him at this time. I'm afraid it was just a throw away.
The exchange ratio of gold and silver was one to eleven, which meant that Chen Shi's rebels provided a huge sum of nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver to the Jinzhou Army.
When Shi Dayong was in charge of the garrison of Songshan, the soldiers' pay was seven taels per person per year. His Songshan army only needed more than 15,000 taels of pay per year.
One tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, and one pound of meat costs only six cents. (Author's note: Prices in Liaodong in the fourth year of Chongzhen)
With these 200,000 taels of silver, it means that Shi Dayong can expand his army to 10,000 men and horses, and then he can be self-reliant for more than two years without a single tael of silver from the court.
It’s not that I didn’t know, but I was really shocked when I calculated it. It feels so good to have money.
Shi Dayong now no longer feels any guilt about hiding dirty silver. He is thinking about how to convert these gold and silver into real fighting power.
In addition, Shi Dayong could not make up his mind as to how to arrange the prisoners. While he was discussing with Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli and others, Guo Yi hurriedly came to report that he had found more than twenty scholars.
These more than twenty scholars were the scholars captured by Chen You, including Ge Wenying, a scholar from Wuqiao, Zheng Shijin, Zhou Bingmao, and others.
When Zhao Xueqi and Qi Sanbao decided to fight, Ge Wenying and others did not know. They only knew that the rebels suddenly left the town. When the Jinzhou Army entered the town, they still did not know what happened.
Chen sometimes arranged them in the second house of the Wang family, a wealthy family in the west of the town. Late at night, the Jinzhou army, which had just massacred a thousand prisoners, did not conduct a detailed search, so they did not know that there were so many scholars staying in the town. Zhao Xueqi went to Wang Tiande's troops persuaded him to surrender, and Qi Sanbao also forgot about this. Therefore, Ge Wenying and others were not discovered until the Jinzhou Army began to inspect the town.
When the soldiers saw the scholars, especially knowing that these people would rather die than become thieves, they naturally respected them very much. Li Dashan asked someone to take them to the general. He bumped into Guo Yi on the road, so Guo Yi took them there.
.
"May I ask the general where the troops are from? So that the students can repay the favor of saving their lives in the future!"
Seeing Shi Dayong, Ge Wenying and the others were a little scared because they had never seen a military commander wearing a mask.
After being stunned for a moment, Ge Wenying asked. Along the way, he heard that the accents of the officers and soldiers were not from Hebei. They looked like soldiers from other places, but he didn't know which soldiers they came from.
Shi Dayong stood up and said: "This general is Shi Dayong, a staff officer under the governor of Liaodong." [
"It turns out to be the Liao army!"
Ge Wenying and others were a little surprised when they heard that they were troops from outside the Pass. Apparently, they did not expect that the imperial court would transfer the Liao army into the Pass.
The most famous of these people is Ge Wenying, but he is only a civil servant and has not been awarded an official position. Therefore, they cannot see the imperial newspaper. Moreover, they were affected by Kong Youde's rebellion, so the prefectures and counties captured by the rebels do not know about the great victory of Jinzhou.
If they knew the news, they would probably be even more impressed by the Jinzhou Army in front of them. However, even so, the appearance of the Liao Army still shocked them.
The Liao army had been outside the pass for a long time and had fought hundreds of battles with the Eastern captives. Naturally, its combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the soldiers and horses inside the pass. Along the way, he saw with his own eyes that the Liao army was different from ordinary soldiers and horses. Ge Wenying said with sincere emotion: "The Liao army is really brave. We, Beizhi, are brave."
It’s not as good as serving soldiers and horses!”
"Can't compare, not at all"
The rest of the people also nodded and saluted. They had heard it before, but today they saw it with their own eyes. These Liao soldiers were really good at fighting. Compared with other soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they were much stronger.
Shi Dayong smiled and nodded, his attitude was okay, but he didn't say anything to them.
As a result, the atmosphere became a bit awkward and quite cold.
Ge Wenying didn't know what to say, so she had to ask: "Chen Thief sometimes leads his troops to run away?"
Shi Dayong replied: "Chen Thief has ordered my subordinates to shoot him."
"ah?!"
At this time, a group of scholars were so horrified that they opened their mouths and could not close their mouths for a long time. After a while, Ge Wenying said with admiration: "The Liao army is indeed the number one military commander in the Ming Dynasty, and the general is really a heavenly general.
Will"
"Chen thief has trapped us in many places in northern Zhili, and the officers and soldiers cannot stop him. We have been hoping that Wang Shi will come to rescue us, but every time we see Wang Shi, we avoid fighting. If the general hadn't come here now, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to escape Chen thief's poisonous hand!"
Zheng Shijin looked grateful.
Shi Dayong did not answer, but just watched. No one knew whether he was happy or angry at this time. This made a group of scholars feel anxious.
Ge Wenying hesitated and asked, "I wonder how long the general will stay here?"
Shi Dayong said: "I will go east to Denglai tomorrow at the latest."
"Leaving tomorrow?" Everyone was shocked, obviously still fearful, worried that once the Liao army left, the rebels would come back.
Seeing this, Shi Dayong comforted them and said: "Don't worry, the Kong thieves are already in Denglai, and there are rebels here, so you don't have to worry about the rebels entering Beizhili territory again."
After hearing this, Ge Wenying and the others breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.
Shi Dayong suddenly said: "This general still has military affairs. If you have anything to do, you can do whatever you want."
Everyone was startled, and then realized that they had been rescued and could go home!
After thanking them again, the scholars burst into tears of gratitude and started to go home. Shi Dayong suddenly stopped them and said, "Oh, by the way, are any of you going to Shang County?" [
"The students are going to Shang County. Does the general have something to do?" Ge Wenying turned around.
Shi Dayong said to him: "Can you bring a message for me to Eunuch Gao, the eunuch who oversees the capital camp in Shang County?"
Ge Wenying nodded hurriedly: "General, please tell me, the students will definitely bring them."
Shi Dayong said: "Tell Eunuch Gao that our Jinzhou Army will go east tomorrow and ask him to send someone to take over the defense of Shahe."
Ge Wenying nodded in agreement and left immediately. After the group of scholars left, Shi Dayong asked Cao Bianjiao and Jiang Wanli: "Have you discussed it yet?"
