Chapter 020 The Footsteps of War
Liu Fugui went to the town alone, while Liu Mingyu stood at the door of this yard.
With this yard as a cover, he can replace the food from the space mall. Now, if his physical attributes are improved, he needs a lot of reputation.
The key is that this reputation is money. When it is almost dark, Liu Fugui brings a middle-aged man to the door of the house.
"Young Master wants to rent a house?"
Liu Mingyu nodded: "I have a little unhappy with my family. I'll stay here for a while!"
"Then we have agreed first that this house can be rented, but it cannot be rented for a short period of time. It will cost at least three months!"
Liu Mingyu looked disgusted and said, "Tell me, how much does it cost?"
"At least five taels of silver!"
"Rich!"
"Young Master!"
"Give the money!"
Liu Mingyu spent five taels of silver, which was actually a huge sum of money. The prices in the Ming Dynasty were so amazing. You could buy a cow for eight taels of silver, and five taels of silver would be spent for a family of five for a year.
After signing the contract, the middle-aged man reminded Liu Mingyu not to destroy the furniture in his house. In fact, what furniture does this house have?
There are only two beds, several beds, one kitchen, and there is a rusty iron pot in the kitchen. In addition, there are some wheat straw and firewood in the yard.
Liu Mingyu took the key, picked up some firewood, and lit it in the main hall. He roasted the fire and said, "Fugui, go back and find Lord Lu and tell him that the matter has been completed, one thousand stones of grain, one thousand two hundred taels of silver, just bring the silver to move the grain!"
"It's the young master!"
After Liu Fugui left, Liu Mingyu took firewood and grass and took the food out of the space and placed it in the room. The wheat exchanged in the system was full of wheat with full grains and no soil or stones. A sack was a stone, filling the two houses in the east wing and the two houses in the main room.
Liu Mingyu ate some canned food and fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up again, listening to the crowds, the camp leader Li Weiying personally led the team, looking at the house full of food, and looked happy, "Liu Baiao, how did you do it?"
"This is a trade secret, nothing can be told!"
"Okay, you really have it!"
Li Weiying gently punched Liu Mingyu, turned around and ordered to the car camp under his command: "Brothers, work!"
More than two thousand people carried 1,000 stones of grain, but the speed was actually very fast. In about half an hour, 1,000 stones of grain were transported away on a large truck.
Li Weiying handed over 1,200 taels of silver to Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu finished counting and did not leave directly.
For him, being able to feel comfortable overnight is better than living in a tent.
After this incident, Lu Xiangsheng directly promoted Liu Mingyu to a military officer, responsible for purchasing the grain needed by the army, and still served as the commander of the Bing Side of the Front Camp.
With Liu Mingyu's sceptic, Lu Xiangsheng didn't have to worry about food and grass anymore. Liu Mingyu also made a lot of reputation by purchasing grain.
After all, the grain purchased by the system only requires seven cents of silver per stone, while the price paid by Lu Xiangsheng is one tael and two cents. The net profit of six cents of silver per stone is six cents of silver, and one thousand stone is six hundred taels of silver.
On the 14th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Chongzhen, after a twelve consecutive days of march, the Daming Prefecture Rebel Army arrived in the southern part of Zhuozhou in Baoding Prefecture. At noon that day, the Daming Prefecture Rebel Army was preparing for dinner.
Suddenly, heart-wrenching crying came from the front. Lu Xiangsheng looked at it and found that it was a large number of people with family members.
This is the prelude to the coming of war, and refugees can always take the lead in the enemy's troops into their own defense.
These ordinary people must have been frightened. They all ran away with no life. The children could not find their parents, the mother could not find their children, the elderly were helpless and cried all the way.
After twelve consecutive forcing troops, the Daming Mansion rebels finally looked like an army. While hearing the crying, the rebels who were eating quickly gathered, with spearmen in front, swordsmen in the second place, and chariots in the rear.
Soon, these fleeing people also saw the Daming Prefecture Rebel Army. These people stood there blankly. They really couldn't believe that there was an army in this place.
Seeing the Ming army, these people were shocked at first, and immediately screamed and fled along the left and right wings of the Daming Mansion Rebel Army formation, fearing that they would suffer if they were slower.
A woman with some beauty hid in the crowd like an ostrich. While running, she picked up the soil on the ground and smeared it on her face. Experience told them that officers and soldiers are not much better than bandits, and they are even more abominable than bandits. They will suffer if they are not careful!
Fortunately, this group of officers and soldiers lined up on their own just like they didn't see them, and their formation was not as good as a mountain, with their heads raised and their chests were raised and their eyes were not squinting.
Seeing that the officers were not rushing towards them like bandits, the people became brave and talked a lot.
“Who led the soldiers?
"The military discipline is so strict. None of so many people said a word or even looked at us!"
"What do you think of your old guy?"
"have no idea!"
"Mr. Hua, you can read. Look at which army they are?"
"I know the Daming Mansion's affairs... They are the rebels of Daming Mansion, who went north to serve the king!" "I would have been great if every officer and soldier was like them! Is there a few more troops with strict military disciplines that we still have to suffer so much?"
"I wonder if they can beat Jiannu?"
"Continue to eat, gather for a quarter of an hour!"
The soldiers of the Daming Mansion began to eat silently. Although they had never fought a war, they also felt an unusual smell.
"Liu Baek, where are we here?"
Liu Mingyu said lightly: "Baoding Prefecture Zhuozhou, this is Zhang Fei's hometown!"
"How far is Zhuozhou from the capital?"
"It's not far, it's only more than a hundred miles!"
"More than one hundred miles? Noh..."
Liu Mingyu looked at the soldiers around him: "I'm going to fight, are you afraid?"
"Afraid……"
Ma Chenggong's hand trembled a little, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, but he suddenly realized that he hadn't realized it.
"Then I tell you, the more you are afraid of death, the faster you will be!"
Liu Mingyu said seriously: "The spear in our hands is ten or three feet long. The enemy's knife cannot cut us. If you turn around and run away, and expose your back to the enemy, you will definitely die!"
"But..." Zhao Hu raised the knife in his hand: "We are swordsmen!"
"What's wrong with the sword?"
Liu Mingyu smiled faintly: "Just just slash your knife, don't think about anything else!"
"Dongdongdongdong..."
The sound of war drums rang out.
Liu Mingyu hurriedly threw his job to the chef, and the chef quickly packed up his job and started preparing.
The soldiers of the rebel army began to gather quickly.
Lu Xiangsheng rode on a horse and slowly walked past the military formation. He looked at the rebel soldiers in front of him and said slowly: "Soldiers, we are close to the capital and we are about to fight. Our mansion promises you to kill a Jiannu and reward five taels of silver. Those who are seriously injured will give you ten taels of medicine and twenty taels of death!"
