Chapter 99 The transaction between foxes (9)

On the fourth day of the transaction, the official transaction with the Ming Dynasty had been completed. Seeing the mountains of sulfur and copper and iron piles, Zhang Ping'an's somewhat uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

At this time, Wu Qitai came to the tent to find him and whisperedly informed him that tomorrow would be in the old place. When Sun Chengzong was old, he wanted to see him. Zhang Ping'an agreed and sent Wu Qitai away. Zhang Ping'an looked at Xu Yi'an and sighed, "Old man is so generous! Yi'an, how much money did we earn this time?"

"Apart from the taxes given to the emperor's inner treasury of 80,000 taels of silver, it may be replenished with nearly 600,000 taels of silver. The state government has been exchanged for gold, saying it is easy to bring!"

“How is the purification of spirits going?”

"Boss, we have bought all the wines nearby! Don't buy them anymore. They went smoothly! There are more than a thousand jars, but we have too many things to bring them!"

"There is nothing we can't take. We'll transport it in sections. I've asked Guangcai to camp the day after tomorrow. We'll give the old man 70,000 silver and gold to the old man tomorrow."

"Boss, why don't we throw away the more than seventy carts of ore? What fishy kelp is there?"

"You fool, those are the treasures! Brown and red are essential ingredients for making good steel, and black is used for drill bits. Kelp cannot be thrown away."

"Boss, even if I give the old man 70,000 silver, I will still have more than 50,000 gold left!"

"We only bring 50,000 yuan, and let the government bring the rest back to the capital! He still has glasses and Dongzhu this time, but he has not shipped it. I will write him a secret order and ask him to distribute it!"

"Also! Yi'an, you send someone to cooperate with Zhang Han to draw the terrain along the way into a map. The more detailed the better. Our time is limited, the greater the space for preparation, the better! We cannot defend passively, we have to destroy several key nodes of the enemy. This battle will be easy to fight! I am going to ask Song Hu to set up a mountain army to deal with the Jurchens!"

"Boss, is he okay? The Ghost Sword Team he led has made a big mistake this time!" Xu Yian was a little worried about Song Hu.

"Yi'an, we need to look at people in all aspects. When Song Hu was training the troops, his morale increased very quickly. This is what I want, at least we will quickly become an army! How about I ask you to arrange for people to go to the capital?"

"No problem! I have entered Ningyuan City, fifty people went to Wufu Warehouse, and the remaining more than one hundred and seventy people have been under the command of the National Government."

"That's good! Zheng Tai performed very well this time. The news he sent confirmed the information of the state government. Although I didn't come this time, I still want to commend him! I wrote his secret letter myself."

................

At the same time, at the same place, the two of them were dressed in the same costume. The two old foxes met again! Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, saw it in surprise that Zhang Ping'an had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, but his eyes were no longer as confused as that day, but had the agility of hope.

"What are the instructions for the old man to summon the boy?"

"You guy is pretty! It seems that you have figured it out. What? You have come up with a solution!"

"The old man is joking, then he can think of a complete solution at once. Come on... Come on... Come on, let's sit down and chat slowly!" Zhang Ping'an smiled and guided Sun Chengzong to take his seat.

“Is the stuff enough?”

"It's enough!" As he said that, Zhang Ping'an poured tea for Sun Chengzong.

"Can you tell me what you plan to do?"

Zhang Ping'an felt bitter in his mouth. "Old man, don't make things difficult for Ping'an! You also know that the Ming Dynasty court is just a leak. The Jurchen Tatars' eyes and ears are all over the capital. If there is any revealing, how can we live!"

"Okay! If you don't say it, I won't ask. I'll tell you good news. The Jurchens are not going to rob you this time."

"I really want them to come and rob! At least they can kill some Tartars." Zhang Ping'an murmured in a low voice.

"Forget it! You guys can do it! I ask you, why are you trying to provoke Fan Chengyang?"

"Is it natural? He was obviously the one who brought trouble and threatened me with the cannons sold to Tartars. What's wrong? What are they going to do?" Zhang Ping'an was very upset when he heard the question.

"What else can it be done? He organized a group of censors to impeach this transaction and almost overturn the court! But don't worry, no one in the court supports him!"

"You old man, don't worry, he will admit his mistake soon!"

"You kid, have you used a despicable method?" Sun Chengzong held the cup lid in his hand and gently plucked the tea in the cup. He smiled and looked at him playfully.

"Old man! No wonder the Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Tartars. You don't pursue the unscrupulous merchants who sold weapons to the enemy. Instead, they came to question me, what's the reason?" Zhang Ping'an asked angrily.

Sun Chengzong chuckled and shook his head helplessly. "Boy Ping'an, you understand, it's useless to say something too much! Well, I don't care about this anymore, let's go and have a fight with him!"

"Mr. Xie! I want him to be unable to sell artillery!"

"It's too late! They sold the artillery to the Tartars before coming to Ningyuan! The Jinyiwei transferred this matter to the cabinet. But these people are very powerful and actually imprisoned the Jinyiwei households who stabbed this matter! It is said that they even wiped out all his family and young!" Sun Chengzong said this, his calm and experienced face was slightly distorted due to resentment.

Zhang Ping'an silently wrote down this matter. "Don't worry, old man, they will let people go!"

"I'll tell you a bad news. It is reported that the Jurchen Tartars bought four red cannons! But one of them exploded during the test of the cannon. How much is the news?"

"Seventy thousand taels of silver! It has been delivered to the east gate! How far can the red-clothed cannon of the Tartars be hit?"

"It's more than ten miles away, and it's the most accurate place. The Ming Dynasty also had this cannon, but unfortunately I can't sell it to you."

"Mr. Xie is kind, I rely on myself for this matter! I never build my hope on the opponent's vain mistakes. How heavy is this gun?"

"More than 5,600 kilograms!"

"No! The red-clothed cannon in the Ming Dynasty is only more than 3,000 kilograms, so why are the Tartar cannons more than 5,000 kilograms?"

"Boy, it seems that you still know how to destroy the cannon. This is a new type of cannon purchased by the Jurchens for ten thousand taels of silver! It is mainly used for siege. You have to find a way to destroy the cannon. Otherwise, you will feel better."

"Old man, you can tell me any news! You jump out little by little, you are always suffering!"

"The Mongolian Tartars call you a fox and wolf, it's true! You are more cunning than a fox, and more fierce to Tartars than a vicious wolf! I really admire you!" Sun Chengzong raised his thumb with a smile in his eyes.

"Old man, are you praising me or scolding me?" Zhang Ping'an curled his lips, and was quite disdainful of this mixed praise.

"Okay! The Mongolian Lin Danhan got thirty young general artillery and 300 Ming gunners. You can ignore their artillery. After up to ten artillery, these artillery will be abolished! The Jurchens hired more than one hundred red-haired artillery gunners and bought 5,000 kilograms of the wizards. The old Jurchen slaves also formed a Ming rape artillery team with 700 cannons and 5,000 people. Do you want to know who the leader of the artillery team is?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Original blue flag Beleahmin!"

Zhang Ping'an laughed happily when he heard the name. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. "Hahahaha, this is the good news! Mr. Xie!"
