The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 645 What a Black Heart
"You used to pierce my beard." Xu Manyun stomped her feet in shame and anger.

There was booing all around, Zhou Yougen, Zhu Wenwu and others were all snickering.

Ding Yi suddenly realized: "Are you Xu Wei's daughter?"

It turned out to be the daughter of Lushun general Xu Wei.

Many years ago, when she was young, Ding Yi went to Xu Wei's house for dinner and met her once. She was very cute at that time, like a porcelain doll. Ding Yi still held her and tied her beard.

I haven't seen her for many years, and now she is a slim and beautiful girl.

"Yeah, I'm not a little girl anymore." Xu Manyun bit her lips lightly and looked at Ding Yi sweetly.

Ding Yi laughed bitterly: "In front of me, you will always be a kid, hahaha."

He suddenly discovered a problem. When he first arrived in Lushun, everyone used to make a few pots together to eat and drink.

He also often goes to the homes of the major generals to brag. In the past few years, as his status has become higher and stronger, it seems that he has less and less contact.

It is right for superiors and subordinates to keep a proper distance, but if they are too far away, it is not a good thing.

After all, the world has not yet been brought down.

Ding Yi immediately decided that tonight, he would have dinner with the civil and military men from Dengzhou and shabu-shabu.

Fang Xinghan, the captain of the personal army, was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he hurried forward to smooth things over: "Okay, I have paid my New Year's greetings, and I have received the New Year's money. Master Ding is still busy, everyone continue to work."

"Goodbye, Master Ding."

"Goodbye, Master Ding."

All the students greeted each other.

"He Kui Niu." Ding Yi found another acquaintance.

"Here." He Kuiniu stood at attention reflexively, after all, they have been here since elementary school.

Then he also blushed: "Master Ding."

"What major did you study in university?" Ding Yi smiled.

He Kuiniu is He Xiaoche's younger brother. Ding Yi has been to He Xiaoche's house, so he naturally recognized him.

"I—I——" He Kuiniu stammered with embarrassment on his face, "Doctor."

"Oh." Ding Yi nodded: "The doctor is also good, study hard, and save lives and heal the wounded in the future."

"Understood Master Ding." When He Kuiniu turned around, he saw many classmates looking at him enviously. After all, he was not bragging, and Master Ding really knew him.

Immediately, he felt that he was a little taller, and walked back into the team with his head held high.

The students returned to the shore and started to promote again.

But the people go up in one boat, and they can rest when there is no boat in the middle.

Many people chatted together.

"He Kui is amazing, Mr. Ding really remembers you."

"Of course." He Kui couldn't help it, and then glanced at Xu Manyun.

Xu Manyun was holding the broken silver that Ding Yi gave her, with spring on her face, she smiled sillily from time to time, she didn't know what she was laughing at.

Suddenly, she put the silver in the other hand again, and looked at the fingers of her right hand.

When Ding Yi just handed over the money, he touched Xu Manyun's finger.

At this time, someone said: "He Kui Niu is a doctor who studies for Manyun, right?"

He Kui Niu immediately shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm also here to save lives and heal the wounded."

"Cut." The crowd despised.

Xu Manyun held the piece of broken silver tightly with her right hand, smiling as beautifully as a flower: "I like generals who lead troops."

As she spoke, she stood up abruptly, her face was peachy, and her cheeks were flushed, announcing loudly: "The person I like must be a world-class hero. One day, he will bring thousands of troops to marry me—"

"Ah" After she finished speaking, she covered her face and sat down on the ground, unable to lift her head in embarrassment.

There was laughter all around.

He Kui Niu murmured: "It's dangerous to fight, isn't the doctor bad?"
-
"Here we come, the horse is coming." Fang Duotai shouted suddenly in the distance.

Everyone looked up and saw a ship approaching the port, loaded with [-] horses just brought from Jeju Island. After they got off the horses, they just took the people to go to Jeju, but there was a smell of horse excrement in the boat, which was really difficult. smell.

Ding Yi will have someone clean it up before loading them on board.

The boats docked quickly, and then a horse was pulled off.

It was the first time for the common people to see so many horses, and many people showed surprise on their faces.

After a while, someone ran over leading the horse, and this person was Tuzhe'er's younger brother, Muhu Tuhulie.

"My respected Lord Ding, I wish your soldiers and horses can sweep the world and look down in all directions like an eagle." Tu Hulie ran up to him and bowed respectfully.

"Haha, Su Hulie, get up quickly, you have worked hard." Ding Yi laughed, then turned around: "Come here."

A few soldiers behind him took a bunch of things and sent them to him.

"Here is some good tea and wine, for you and Tuzheer."

"Thank you, sir." The sudden smile narrowed his eyes.

Since Ding Yi occupied Jeju Island in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Ding Yi has been immigrating to Jeju Island these years. The Han population has now become the largest, and Ding Yi has managed Jeju Island like an iron bucket.

The Tuzheer family has deeply realized that no one can regret Ding Yi's rule in Jeju anymore.

Their family must be tightly united around Ding Yi and hold this thick leg tightly.

After chatting with Tu Hulie for a while, Ding Yi left. Tu Hulie will rest in Dengzhou for two days, enjoy it, and then transport a large number of people and supplies back to Jeju Island.

After Ding Yi returned to Dengzhou, he immediately went to the living room of a room, and there was another room in the living room, and he was in that room.

Outside is Lu Chao.

Not long after, a soldier reported: "Young Master Song has arrived."

Through the crack of the door, Ding Yi saw a young man many years younger than him, wearing a long robe, walking in slowly.

This young man looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked young but had a stable temperament. Although he tried his best to show that he was very elegant, the murderous aura in him could not be hidden. He looked like a veteran of the old battlefield.

This person claimed to be surnamed Song, and came to buy horses on a special trip.

Lu Chao sat in the main seat with a big knife and a golden horse, and said with a smile: "Come here, let's serve tea."

"Wangguo in the Song Dynasty, I don't know what to call the shopkeeper?" The young man said respectfully.

"Call me Shopkeeper Mao." Lu Chao said flatly.

"I heard that shopkeeper Mao has a lot of horses. We also do business and need mule-drawn carts, so we want to buy some horses."

Song Wangguo came here last year, bought a hundred horses in the market, and then said he wanted to see the shopkeeper here.

I came here twice this year, and the first two times I bought very little. This time I finally met the legendary shopkeeper.

He stated directly that he wanted to buy a horse.

Lu Chao thought to himself, you need three or two days to buy horses in business?Have bought several times.

"How many horses do you want, let me tell you first. The situation outside is not good right now, and the price of war horses has increased a lot." Lu Chao laughed.

Song Wangguo said calmly, "Although shopkeeper Mao's horse is a bit taller than ordinary horses, it is still not a qualified war horse."

"Isn't Mr. Song a businessman, and he also knows war horses?" Lu Chao asked immediately.

Song Wangguo's face changed slightly, and he quickly said with a dry smile: "I know a little bit, I know a little bit, now there is a lot of chaos outside, and we need to hire guards when we come out."

"That's right, I think Mr. Song's dozens of cavalry guards all look like elite sergeants." Lu Chao said.

Song Wangguo's complexion was even worse.

"How many horses do you want? We have a lot of customers, and we can't let you buy them all." Lu Chao changed the subject at this moment.

Song Wangguo hurriedly said: "I want as much as I want, money is not a problem."

Lu Chao squinted his eyes and looked at him. Song Wangguo was not afraid, and looked over in the same way.

Lu Chao was about to say the number, when suddenly behind him, there was a beep, and someone knocked twice.

Song Wangguo's expression froze, and he looked intently, but he couldn't see inside through the crack of the door.

"200 taels a horse." Lu Chao said loudly.

"Hiss..." Song Wangguo gasped, and with a terrified expression on his face, he said in a trembling voice, "We buy a lot, so it's expensive?"

"Of course, the less you buy, the better it will be." Lu Chao laughed.

"What's the reason? I've never heard of it before." Song Wangguo said angrily. Isn't it obvious that he was being taken advantage of?

"It may be a one-shot deal, so naturally the price will be high." Lu Chao said flatly, "If the imperial court finds out, they will have my entire family executed."

It was obvious what he said, Song Wangguo's face turned livid, and changed a few times.

He clenched his fists tightly, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "How many?"

Lu Chao said: "Two thousand horses, new horses that have just disembarked. There may be casualties, but it is calculated at two thousand."

The corner of Song Wangguo's mouth twitched, he was really black-hearted. One day, I will lead troops to break your Dengzhou.

"It's all over." He stomped.

So the two thousand horses that had just disembarked were sold to Song Wangguo at a high price of 200 taels.

After the two settled, Song Wangguo quickly left with fists in his hands.

Two guards were waiting for him outside the door.

"How to say?" Someone asked.

"A total of two thousand horses." Song Wangguo said.

"So many, hahaha, good guy." The two guards were overjoyed.

"200 taels a horse." Song Wangguo said.

"Grab money." The two guards yelled.

"Ni Niang, what a black heart, these dog merchants, one day, we will send troops over to pacify Dengzhou." The guards cursed.

Suddenly, they felt murderous eyes looking over.

The three looked up, only to find that there were two teams of soldiers standing outside the gate.

At this time, he was staring at them with cold eyes.

The three of them were not afraid, they stared back, then turned and left.

After walking a few steps, Song Wangguo turned his head and saw that the two teams of soldiers were still looking at them, motionless like sculptures.

"Is this person a soldier or a businessman?" Song Wangguo murmured, "It seems that the subordinates are all elite soldiers."

"The Ming army also has elite soldiers?" The two guards laughed and were destroyed by our blow.

They handed over the silver taels that day, and shopkeeper Mao promised to help them transport the horses outside the city, from the south of Dengzhou.

Song Wangguo wanted to go from the west, but the treasurer Mao said no, there are a lot of military forts there, which are too eye-catching, and there are only a few in the south, and they were bought by us.

Song Wangguo had no choice but to agree.

Then they stayed in the city for another day, waiting for the horses to arrive.

This is their third day in Dengzhou City. They wandered around every day for these three days and found that Dengzhou is completely different from other places in the Ming Dynasty. The whole city is very clean and tidy. The place is down, and someone has to clean it up.

There are all kinds of entertainment in the city, such as barnyards, spring courtyards, restaurants, bathhouses, everything that one expects to find, what was found in other places in the Ming Dynasty, has it here, and what is not in other places, it also has it here.

Some people are so happy to play, they don't want to go back.
