Chapter 914 The bullock cart pulls the nobles, and the money is assigned to the father-in-law
In addition to the cap fee, the weapons and supplies seized this time also made my father-in-law feel excited.
I feel that there are still many good people in the world.
This time, the honor minister of Nandu presented 310 horses and mules, 230 war horses and 103 large and small vans to Eunuch Wei. If these are calculated based on the market price, they are worth several thousand taels.
In terms of weapons, after counting, more than 2,900 bird guns and more than 400 three-eyed guns were obtained. In addition, more than 500 pairs of bows and arrows were sent, 200 large crossbows, more than 1,400 long spears, long swords, long axes, etc., more than 4,000 rockets were used, and hundreds of rattan cards, waist knives, etc.
In terms of armor, the biggest seized from the Western Route Army was the one that fell into the hands of Eunuch Wei, no matter how they pulled them out of Nandu.
The iron armor is connected with cotton armor and paper armor, and many of them are basically unmoved. In addition, there are 60 tiger squat cannons and 95 large pole guns that are unmoved.
The seizure of these weapons and equipment cannot be measured by money. You should know that there are many things that cannot be bought with money.
If Eunuch Wei goes to buy these weapons from Jinyiwei Nanzhen and Nanjing Ministry of War, the other party can give him a fraction of the matter, and my father-in-law will have to be secretly happy.
After roughly estimating, if all these military equipment is used, it would be enough to arm a division, but it is not enough and the shortage will not be too large.
The only regret is that the amount of gunpowder was not captured, and the total amount was less than 3,000 kilograms.
My father-in-law was very regretful about this, but when he thought about it, he felt relieved. The two coalition forces in Nandu were going to fight in one battle, not a protracted war, so he didn't need to bring much medicine.
In addition, there were more than 700 mates of the baggage carriagemans with the army. Eunuch Wei did not count the capitulation fee for them. As long as they took the seized materials to the iron farm, they could go back on their own afterwards.
After all, these people are the masters recruited by the ministers, and you have no one to ask the nobles to redeem them with money. Some of them are not recruited by the masters, but they are just servants from various families. Both their identities and contributions are not enough to make the nobles pay for them to redeem them.
Furthermore, these people are old and young, and their father-in-law can't bear to force them to take them away.
The total number of casualties of the Imperial Army was more than 170, of which 86 were killed, and the rest were all wounded soldiers. The loss was basically medicine, and about 600 kilograms were used.
Such few casualties in exchange for such great victory made the father-in-law's prestige in the army reach its peak. But he still blamed himself. If all aspects of the deployment were more reasonable, casualties would be reduced.
A person from the Jinyiwei was injured, but he was chasing Fengcheng Hou and fell into the ditch and broke his leg.
The other losses are negligible.
…………
Regarding the result of being worth 200,000 taels of silver, Fengcheng Marquis Li Chengzuo and Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo were unable to accept it in the early stage. After being extremely indignant, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.
Because if the price was not accepted, Eunuch Wei would not let them go back.
Of course, Eunuch Wei definitely did not openly intimidate the marquis and uncles, it was too rough to do this.
My father-in-law just asked the nobles to play in Liyang for a few more days.
Dongning Bo Jiao Mengxiong and his two nephews were priced at a total of 200,000 taels, that is, the two nephews were 25,000 taels each.
Mr. Jiao was also open to this, but this money was a huge sum of money for his Dongning Bo Mansion. It was difficult to raise all of them. If you couldn't do it well, you had to sell some industries.
There is no way, who made his ancestors a son named Bo, who was only granted during the reign of Emperor Yingzong, whose family background was not as strong as those who founded the country and the Jingnan Dynasty.
The two marquis and uncles were captured at their own home, and there was no objection to the redemption of the family generals. These people were all the family assets of their mansion. Even if the eunuch Wei was extorting them openly, they could not refuse them.
However, they were unwilling to pay redemption for the soldiers from other ministers and generals of the family, insisting that Eunuch Wei must send someone to Nandu City to discuss with the families.
Eunuch Wei is a reasonable person. He has a wrongdoing and a debtor. He cannot bear all the pressure on the nobles of Renfengcheng and the nobles of Lingbi. Therefore, he ordered the family soldiers and generals from each family to make a book, list the detailed redemption price codes, and ask the servants who accompany the army to take them back to show them to each family.
But at the same time, the nobles of Fengcheng, the nobles of Lingbi, and the people of Dongning were asked to sign a guarantee letter, which was a pity that if the honorary ministers of Nandu were unwilling to pay for their redeem, then the redemption silver would have to be on the head of the guarantor.
The three nobles must not do this and insist on not signing it.
When doing business, you can't be stiff.
Therefore, Eunuch Wei had to take a step back and suggested that if the Nandu families refused to pay the money, then these three would be the guarantee, and the soldiers from each family would work for Eunuch Wei for three years to compensate Eunuch Wei's losses.
This opinion made the three nobles hesitate. The three of them discussed it and finally signed.
Because they don't think that the people in the governments who are unwilling to redeem them with money, there is no need to have a quarrel with Eunuch Wei. If the eunuch doesn't even let them go, it will be a big trouble.
Eunuch Wei didn't suspect that the nobles in Nandu would be so stingy that they didn't want their own family members. He just did insurance, not afraid of ten thousand, but feared that if they were.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't pay money. Eunuch Wei is short of people anyway. If he takes the people away, the lawsuit in Nandu will have to be signed to fight.
If a dog bites a dog, his father-in-law doesn't care about his mouth.
The matter with the great nobles was basically settled like this. My father-in-law was the most relaxed and he didn't count the small accounts that were a bit messy.
However, now they cannot let these people go back. The nobles also know the truth. Their current situation is in the nature of being kidnapped.
How could the kidnappers put the meat tickets out if they couldn't see the money?
After briefly speaking with the three nobles, Eunuch Wei reached an agreement and Jiao Chengye, the eldest nephew of Jiao Bo Ye, returned to Nandu to handle the redemption.
The nobles of Fengcheng and the nobles of Lingbi each wrote letters and each gave a token to Jiao Chengye. After that, Eunuch Wei asked the soldiers from the three nobles to choose five people to go back with Jiao Chengye.
In order to facilitate the journey of Master Jiao, his father-in-law also specially asked to send him two carriages, which was so kind and righteous.
After Master Jiao got in the car and set off, his father-in-law was polite to the three great nobles, and then called Song Sibao and ordered him to take people to escort the three great nobles to Liyang County for a few days.
The reason why I was not taken back to Tiechang, but to Liyang County was that my father-in-law was smart.
If you bring someone back to the iron field, it is obviously kidnapping. However, in Liyang County, this matter has nothing to do with kidnapping. Whether the people in Nandu believe it or not, at least they can block the censor's mouth.
"We have to take good care of several noble people on the road. If noble people have fewer hair, we will ask you!"
The father-in-law solemnly instructed Song Sibao, and then walked cordially to the three noble men with dark faces, shook hands and said goodbye to them one by one.
The three nobles were obviously confused about the etiquette of shaking hands, but their father-in-law was familiar with each other. Then they raised their hands, and suddenly a team of fierce but not tall imperial soldiers rushed out, and more than a hundred cavalry officers and soldiers accompanied them to guard them.
"Several nobles, please get in the car!"
The father-in-law pointed at a hay-covered ox cart with a smile and asked the nobles of Fengcheng and the others to go up.
The ox cart soliciting customers is the highest etiquette of our Han people.
