Chapter 1391 Windfall
But I never thought that Xiaoxiaopei County actually hid such a "giant fortune".
But it is reasonable to think about it. The war horses provided by Dorgon's iron armored cavalry were at least three horses per person, or even four horses per person.
This is determined by the equipment of heavy cavalry. Just imagine, no matter how strong a war horse is, it cannot marching with a heavy armored man with weapons for a long time. This requires continuous replacement of war horses so that the war horses can rest in the middle of the journey. Often, they need to marching for an hour or a round of war.
After all, Feiyun Bridge is a battlefield, so Hunigaluo and naturally left the war horses in Peixian City protected by heavy troops. They didn't expect Chen Jin to surrender in just one round. Before surrender, they also took action to destroy more than a thousand flag troops left by Dorgon.
In this way, the war horses in the city became Wu Zheng's spoils.
....
Touching the tall and strong horse's back, Wu Zheng never stopped smiling.
Weapons and war horses are things that every man yearns for since childhood.
In the past five years, the reason why Wu Zheng did not form a cavalry is simply because his financial resources are limited, lack of war horses, and his strength is not allowed.
Qian Qiaogong, who was left behind by Wu Zheng, rushed to Xuzhou overnight after hearing the news, was so happy that he saw these war horses.
"Prince, this is mine." When Qian Qiaogong spoke, his eyes never left the war horse.
Any of these war horses, if placed among ordinary war horses, stand out.
Not only is it tall, long and strong legs, but it even makes people feel very comfortable to touch.
"How many war horses do you have?" Wu Zheng smiled and asked at the brother-in-law who had few fetish things.
"One,862 horses." Qian Qiaogong reported the number without thinking. Obviously, for him, war horses were like life.
"There are more than 3,000 horses in total." Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not enough, it's too much, it's enough to form a personal guard camp for me."
Qian Qiao became anxious and turned around and stared at Wu Zheng and said, "No... this is mine!"
Wu Zheng laughed and said, "More than three thousand horses... only a thousand horses are there. Small battles are not needed, and big battles are not used, so what's the point?"
"...No matter what...this is mine."
Unexpectedly, Qian Qiaogong, who inherited Qian Sule's righteous gentlemanly demeanor, also had such a time to be sloppy, Wu Zheng couldn't help but be happy, "It's better for you... but you have to wait to get enough war horses."
Qian Qiao said anxiously: "Actually, two horses are enough for one person. If you can't make a heavy cavalry, you can form a light cavalry... Besides, you should know that I can form a lancer in the north and you can't wear armor."
This is true. The reason why heavy riders have three horses per person is because they need to be replaced continuously. However, the light riders carry a small load, so naturally there is no need to be replaced continuously. Two horses per person are enough.
Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Then you should have gathered three thousand riders... Otherwise it would be meaningless."
Qian Qiaogong suddenly urged: "Don't Zu Dabi have two thousand cavalry?"
Wu Zheng was stunned and suddenly said, "It turns out that you are prepared?"
Qian Qiaogong's face turned red and said embarrassedly: "Before... Chi Erhan sent me a message."
Wu Zheng hesitated and said, "This matter is very difficult... You should know that Zu Dabi has now joined me and wants to bring his cavalry into your command... This is inappropriate."
This is right. Zu Dabi made contributions in this battle. With the help of Chi Erhan, he defeated the enemy cavalry in Yuning Township, and then revived and transformed Chi Erhan, opening up the road to northern aid in the First Army. He made great contributions.
Wu Zheng couldn't just rob other people's cavalry for his brother-in-law, right?
Qian Qiaogong had obviously thought about it, "Don't worry, Prince, before coming, I had sent someone to contact Zu Dabi of Huai'an, and Zu Dabi agreed to form a cavalry battalion with me..."
Wu Zheng's face flashed with a hint of unhappiness, but it quickly covered it up and said calmly, "Since he has no objection... then let's fulfill your wish."
Qian Qiaogong rushed up excitedly, hugged Wu Zheng hard and said, "Don't worry, three years... no, two years, you will definitely see a powerful lancer."
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "I'll wait and see!"
Seeing Qian Qiao's reverence and refusing to leave, Wu Zheng kindly reminded: "You should go back to Hangzhou to meet your father and sister."
Qian Qiaogong was obviously stunned and slowly became more and more handsome. He thought for a while and said, "Let's wait a little longer... I'll go back with you when the battle is over."
Wu Zheng was able to understand Qian Qiaogong's hesitation. It was also because he was very energetic two years ago. He went to the military academy to rush Chen Zhiyuan to go north to reinforce Jiang Quanyi's troops. But now Jiang Quanyi has returned long ago, but he has returned without any achievements until now, so he naturally feels unfair to face his strict father.
Wu Zheng patted his shoulder and said, "Follow me."
....
"Looking at the moment, Chen Zhiyuan may really have...a strange intention."
Wu Zheng said with difficulty, "He was carrying the yellow tumbler and Zhou Dahu, leading an army of 30,000 from under Jiang Quanyi's nose to the north through Haizhou... Obviously, he was going to meet with Dorbo, Yanzhou."
Qian Qiaogong looked at Wu Zheng with bright eyes and said nothing.
"You know... I have thought of countless reasons to convince myself and wash away him... but it is difficult to deceive my heart after all." Wu Zheng said slowly until he sighed silently.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, why bother to force me?" Qian Qiaogong said calmly, "I told you before that Chen Zhiyuan is very ambitious and does not care about money. It's so powerful... tempting."
Speaking of this, Qian Qiaogong said directly, "If he is accomplice for the tiger, then there is nothing to worry about."
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "If you just want power, you can't tolerate him... In fact... I can't do anything to him now."
Qian Qiaogong nodded and agreed: "It is true. Now, once he meets with the Qing army in Yanzhou, his troops will be worth 40,000 to 50,000. In a short period of time, it will be difficult for our army to attack north."
"Do you think he will lead his army to fight for Xuzhou?" Wu Zheng suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"It's hard to say..." Qian Qiaogong thought for a while, "He often said that he could do anything to seek his goals. He dared to attack Tongzhou, so naturally Xuzhou would dare... However, he should know that you are in Xuzhou and may have some scruples."
Wu Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand and spread it out, "The most painful thing in life is the stranger after deep friendship, especially the most fratricide of brothers and feet... Do you think, if he comes to attack, should I let him?"
"Don't let it!" Qian Qiaogong replied calmly, "But, I have to let it go!"
Wu Zheng understood and had to give in, because he was strong, how could he not give in?
"Huh..." Wu Zheng raised his head and let out a long sigh, "Okay, Xuzhou is better than giving it to the Tartars... I think he will never forget that he is a Han person!"
Qian Qiaogong suddenly smiled, "Although he had to give in, it was only temporary. It seems that his troops were strong, but that was not all his soldiers... Time, stand on our side."
Wu Zheng smiled because he understood, "What you said...maybe it is right."
