Chapter seven hundred and eighteenth spending money to buy information
But a Mongol scoundrel like Hardanbaat'er is not as good as a Han Chinese scoundrel. He does not dare to offend the Han people at all. Often a soldier of the Ming army dares to play tricks on the Ming commander for fun. But Hardanbaatar only just
He is constantly breaking through his own shameless limits. So now, his reputation among the Ming army is completely bad.
But there is another point. Hardanbaatar is also very concerned about the Mongols living in Guancheng. Most of the money he earns is used on these poor Mongolians, so those Mongolians also regard him as their leader.
And today, Hardanbaatar heard that another general of the guest army came to Shanhaiguan, and he wanted to try his luck with Wu Shigong. What if Wu Shigong believed him and asked him to sell some fabricated false information?
Then Hadan Battle can live a precarious life again.
But Wu Shigong didn't know Hardanbaatar's dirty thoughts. In his opinion, a visit from a military colleague should always have basic courtesy. So Chang Qiu wisely avoided it first, and Wu Shigong also sorted it out.
Yi Guan stood up from the chair, waiting for Hardanbaatar to come in.
But Wu Shigong's eyes widened as soon as he saw Hardan Battle entering the door. It wasn't that Hardan Battle was disheveled. Although his fourth-grade military attaché robe was shabby, it was still quite clean; it wasn't that Hardan Battle was disheveled either.
He looks slovenly. Apart from the big beard on his face, he is also clean and does not have the strong body odor of Mongolians. But the way he came in was very petty, and he looked particularly wretched in his sneaky ways, not at all.
There is no official image.
But people should not be judged by their appearance, and Wu Shigong could not show his contempt, so he still raised his hands in a polite salute and said: "Master Ha! I have just arrived in Liaodong, and I still need the help of all my colleagues. I am really lucky to meet you today!
"
Unexpectedly, Hardanbaatar did not return the salute at all, or in other words, he did not return a normal salute according to his status. He immediately knelt down on the ground, and while Wu Shigong was stunned, he kowtowed three times, "dong dong dong", and then
Speaking fluent Mandarin with a Liaodong accent, he said in a loud voice: "I pay my respects to you, sir. I wish you a great victory and immediate success!"
"Get up quickly! Get up quickly!" Wu Shigong was caught off guard by Hadan Battle's unconventional etiquette. He quickly greeted everyone around him and said: "Hurry up and show Master Ha your seat and serve tea!"
Having gained the respect of Hardan Battle, regardless of whether he was sincere or not, Wu Shigong always felt a little comfortable in his heart, so his attitude towards Hardan Battle became friendly.
After the two started talking, Wu Shigong suddenly discovered that Hardan Battle was very talkative. After getting acquainted with him, Hardan Battle became eloquent and spoke without pause for nearly half an hour. Don't say what Wu Shigong said.
I also like to listen to it, because Hardanbaatar talks about the customs and customs outside the customs.
In fact, Hardanbaatar said these words well. He relies on his words. How can he deceive the guest generals who are not familiar with his details if he doesn't have the time? And his words also focus on three aspects.
:
First of all, of course, it is nonsense about Hardan Battle's "personal experience". Anyway, he participated in every battle, and in the battles, he was often an important role, and he was the right-hand man of the Ming army commanders, and those wars
The scene, Hardanbaatar also said, was turbulent and exciting, and was meant to give Wu Shigong the illusion that Hardanbaatar was a loyal and important general to the Ming Dynasty.
Next, he talked about his lofty status in the Mongolian tribe. The people supported him and followed him to the death. Anyway, those who don’t know the details of Hardan Battle will think that Hardan Battle is in the Mongolian tribe after hearing these words.
He has high prestige, great power, and a huge network of relationships.
In fact, these words are not completely nonsense, but Hardanbaatar's prestige and power are only limited to the hundreds of weak old Mongolian women and children in Shanhaiguan City. Other than that, they have no influence at all.
In the end, of course, Wu Shigong was deeply impressed. So Hardanbaatar began to talk about Manchu and Mongolian gossip outside the Pass. A certain Manchu prince robbed a Hanchen’s concubine;
The battle has begun; a certain Mongolian tribe leader is willing to give up as many cattle and sheep as he wants to marry a beautiful girl. Anyway, this performance shows the quality of Hadan Bater as a qualified paparazzi member.
Hardanbaatar just wants to hint Wu Shigong: How well I understand the situation of the Manchus and Mongolia outside the Pass! If you want to know, then buy it with money quickly.
Wu Shigong listened with interest at first. But after listening for a while, he found that he didn't hear any useful news. Wu Shigong wanted to hear political and military news, but Hardan Battelle opened an entertainment channel, which gave Wu Shigong
It feels like pressing the wrong remote control.
Therefore, after listening for a while, Wu Shigong interrupted Hardanbaatar's foaming at the mouth and asked: "Master Ha! Do you know how many Tatars are surrounding Jinzhou?"
In fact, while Hardanbaatar was talking, he was also looking at Wu Shigong's face. He had long been expecting Wu Shigong to interrupt the topic and ask about the situation in Liaodong. So when Hardanbaatar heard this, he was really relieved.
"Sir! I heard that during the siege of Jinzhou, the whole army of Jiannu was mobilized. Even some Mongolian thieves who unconscionably surrendered to Jiannu went to help. There was a man named Zac from the Xiaguan tribe who disguised himself as a horseman and sneaked into the siege.
Among the bandits in Jinzhou. But the family he left behind with his subordinates are suffering..." After the beginning, Hardanbaatar began to narrate the story of the family member named Zach.
A miserable life comes.
"How many are there?" Wu Shigong finally couldn't stand Hardanbaatar's nagging and interrupted him again.
"Every time the lower official sends people out to investigate, some of them always fall into the hands of the Jiannu. Their pensions are always borne by the lower official, and the families of those people cannot be left alone. It is difficult to be the lower official..." It seems to be
Didn't hear Wu Shigong's question, Hardanbaatar still talked to himself and sighed about his sufferings.
Wu Shigong immediately understood what Hardanbaatar meant. Wasn't it necessary to spend money to buy information? Wu Shigong was not disgusted with this. If he could buy some useful information, it would be quite worthwhile.
"How much?" Wu Shigong asked directly.
But these words made Hardanbaatar's eyes light up, and then his eyelids twitched. He didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly, so that some tricks were achieved without even using any tricks. Moreover, Wu Shigong obviously looked like a rich man.
So Hardanbaatar thought about his words and tried to deceive him a little more.
