Chapter 319 Dividing the spoils, a gift from Dorgon!
~~~
Dorgon's army left.
From early morning to noon, the 30,000-strong army headed straight east, slowly disappearing at the end of the horizon.
On the top of the city, Liu Ruyi and He Renlong, with their mighty tigers, watched the Qing army go away until there was no trace left.
He Renlong rubbed his eyes vigorously and said with some disbelief: "Damn it, donkey ball, this, couldn't this be E Laohe's misunderstanding? This, he's gone now? There's nothing left?"
Hu Dawei couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Lao He, what else do you want? You need to have a fight with them to be happy?"
He Renlong was speechless. Happiness came so quickly that he didn't know how to accept it!
"Brother Liu, you, tell me, could this be Dorgon's delaying strategy? He will leave temporarily and wait until we want to leave the city before taking action?" He Renlong swallowed and looked at Liu Ruyi in a somewhat foolish manner.
asked.
Liu Ruyi shook his head slightly. The reason why Dorgon retreated so happily and the food and grass were burned was just one of the aspects. More importantly, he should have figured it out after reading Liu Ruyi's letter. Now,
Who is the real threat to his survival interests?
However, of course, Liu Ruyi could not express this kind of thing to He Renlong and Hu Dawei. He turned around and said with a smile: "In any case, the Qing army has retreated. For us, this is great news! But
, the situation is still unclear at the moment, we must not be careless, let’s wait and see in Pinggu City for a while!”
"What Brother Liu said is absolutely true! Donkey Ball Zi! Over the past year or so, I have been marching here and there, and my subordinates are tired. E Laohe is really tired! Hey! I can finally rest for a while.
Yes!" He Renlong breathed a long sigh of relief and looked up at the warm sun in the sky.
Hu Dawei also nodded with deep understanding, "This battle is finally over!"
In the next ten days, Liu Ruyi, He Renlong, and Hu Dawei's tribes stayed in Pinggu City, counting the property of Pinggu City, and appeasing the refugees in Pinggu City. It was rare for the soldiers under their command to do so.
Take more than ten days of vacation and sleep peacefully in the camp.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-April of the twelfth year of Chongzhen. Scouts from the Northeast came to report that Dorgon's army had left the customs at Xifengkou. Only then did everyone truly breathe a sigh of relief!
However, as the Qing army retreated, how to distribute the fruits of victory was put on the agenda.
At this time, after more than ten days of counting, there were approximately 300,000 taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, more than 10,000 cattle, sheep and other livestock, more than 3,000 war horses, and nearly 100 fine sweat-blooded horses in Pinggu City.
, there are probably thousands more pieces of armor and weapons, and the most worthless ones are the more than 30,000 refugees who are waiting to open their mouths to eat.
According to the private discussion between He Renlong and Hu Dawei, Liu Ruyi's department contributed the most in this battle. Liu Ruyi should take the lion's share, which is 50% of the total property, and He Renlong should take the remaining 50%.
The great power of the dragon and the tiger added two to one to make five, dividing them equally!
However, Liu Ruyi was not very interested in these gold, silver, weapons, and armor this time. What really tempted him was these three thousand horses and these more than thirty thousand refugees!
Perhaps, in the eyes of He Renlong and Hu Dawei, these refugees are nothing. Not only are they worthless, they also consume a lot of food and grass on them every day, but to Liu Ruyi, they are all
Strong labor is Liu Ruyi's most scarce 'human resource' at the moment, so Liu Ruyi wants to change this allocation plan.
"Brother Liu, this matter has been settled! Don't refuse any more! If you refuse again, you will be looking down on Er Lao He and Hu Shuai!" He Renlong said anxiously.
After spending these days together, he also got to know Liu Ruyi a little bit. He knew that although Liu Ruyi was young, he had outstanding skills. The most important thing was that he knew how to do things in a proper way and left room for those who were with him.
, feeling extremely comfortable.
In fact, it is no wonder that this is the case. In his previous life, Liu Ruyi had been living in a cosmopolitan city like the Magic City. What kind of people had he not come into contact with?
Having seen a lot of Feng Lang, he will naturally hide his true temperament. Unless someone else really touches his vital interests, just like Mr. Fang, Liu Ruyi will reveal his ferocious minions, otherwise
, everything is naturally calm!
Hu Dawei also said: "Brother Liu, it's yours, just pick it up! If you don't reach out, why would you let Hu Lao and Lao He have the nerve to reach out!"
Liu Ruyi had no choice but to bow to the two elder brothers repeatedly, "Two elder brothers, you have misunderstood what Ruyi meant! These property were obtained by the three of us working together, and we should share them equally! Moreover, the two elders
Brother, have you forgotten the most important point?"
"Uh? What's the key point?" He Renlong asked hurriedly.
Hu Dawei also looked into Liu Ruyi's eyes.
Liu Ruyi smiled and explained: "According to Ruyi's wishes, each of us will get 30% of these properties! And the remaining 10% will be considered a joint investment by the three of us to manage relations in the court! I don't know, the two elders
Brother, how do you feel?"
"Oops! Brother Liu, you, how did you get such a brain! Uh, why didn't Lao He think of this?" He Renlong patted his forehead and said.
He was so happy that the three of them had divided these belongings, but they had left Emperor Chongzhen and the senior ministers in the court behind!
At this time, although "the general is out and the emperor's orders are not accepted", this is still the world of the Ming Dynasty after all. If you are not careful, this matter is spread to the ears of Emperor Chongzhen. According to Emperor Chongzhen's temper, then the three of them,
But if you can’t eat it, you’ll have to walk away!
"What brother Liu said is absolutely true! Everything will be done according to Liu Ruyi's wishes!" Hu Dawei patted Liu Ruyi's shoulder heavily and gave Liu Ruyi a look, which meant: "I can rest assured that you can do things."
!'
Liu Ruyi smiled hurriedly and cupped his hands and said: "Okay! That's the case! With the love of the two elder brothers, Ruyi will be the master! Now, each of us can get one hundred thousand taels of silver and fifteen thousand gold for these properties.
Two! Three thousand livestock per person, one thousand horses per person, and ten thousand refugees per person. Weapons and armor, if you wish, don’t take any of them, just give them all to the two old brothers! Among them, let’s have another
Each person took out 15,000 taels of silver, plus the undivided 5,000 taels of gold, and used it to manage matters in the capital. Two old brothers, do you think this is a good idea?"
He Renlong and Hu Dawei both nodded. This distribution plan is very fair and they are very satisfied!
"It's all up to Brother Liu!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and said: "Two old brothers, Ruyi is here, but I have a merciless request. I hope you two old brothers will tolerate it!"
He Renlong and Hu Dawei were both startled and looked at Liu Ruyi. Hu Dawei hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, we have a life-long friendship. If you have anything to say, just say it! If Lao He
Dare to cause trouble for you! I will chop off his forehead!"
"Haha, Hu Shuai is joking!" Liu Ruyi hurriedly laughed and said, "Actually, Ruyi's request is very simple! I won't take any of these gold and silver! But those bloody horses and these 30,000 people, Ruyi
But I want to take it! I wonder, what do you two brothers think?"
"This, this..." He Renlong and Hu Dawei really didn't expect that Liu Ruyi would make such a request.
Although this sweaty horse is precious, it is not worth a hundred thousand taels of silver. And those homeless people are originally losers. What excuse are they trying to find to push them to the court?
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi was willing to accept this mess.
Several people discussed it again, and finally, He Renlong and Hu Dawei unanimously decided that Liu Ruyi would invest the 100,000 taels of silver to buy all the bloody horses, as well as 10,000 refugees each under their names, and the livestock.
The horses were still distributed according to the original plan, but the fifteen thousand taels of gold still belonged to Liu Ruyi, and the cost of going to Beijing for management was completely shared by He Renlong and Hu Dawei.
The agreement is over, everyone is happy!
He Renlong and Hu Dawei got this windfall for nothing and were naturally happy from ear to ear. Liu Ruyi also got what she wanted most, so she was in a great mood!
That night, Liu Ruyi specially ordered his confidant, the descendant of the Shandong cuisine master "She Sandao", to slaughter a fat sheep for several people and make a whole sheep feast. The three of them drank Mingzhu and got drunk.
!
Early the next morning, Liu Ruyi ordered Huo Lang and five hundred gun soldiers to escort the more than 30,000 refugees and more than 3,000 cattle and sheep back to Jinan!
After all, these are all 'living creatures'. It would be bad if they were brought to the capital and read by someone who was interested!
Although at this level, Liu Ruyi is no longer afraid of anyone making trouble, but after all, it is better to do less than to do more and make a fortune silently. This is what Liu Ruyi wants!
Soon, after resting for half a day, Liu Ruyi, Hu Dawei, and He Renlong also embarked on their return journey, leading more than 7,000 troops from Pinggu City back to the capital city.
However, just as the army set off, Liu Ruyi saw his own soldiers coming to report that they had captured a Qing spy!
Liu Ruyi was shocked and hurriedly asked someone to bring the spy forward.
The spy was a Han man. When he saw Liu Ruyi, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Ma Liu, a subordinate of Zhengbai Banner, comes to see Deputy General Liu!"
"Do you know me?" Liu Ruyi glanced at the wrapping.
"The general is joking! Who among our two white flags, no, probably among our Qing Dynasty, doesn't know the name of Vice-General Liu?" The Bao Yi quickly said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing, "You're a slave, you're quite good at talking? But do you know who I, Liu, hate the most in my life?"
Baoyi was startled, but Liu Ruyi continued: "That's a traitor like you who has forgotten his ancestors! Aren't you afraid that I will chop you up alive today?"
Baoyi's face instantly turned pale, and he kowtowed hurriedly: "Vice General Liu, please spare your life! I have no choice but to do it! I'm just an errand boy! We, Prince Rui, have a gift. I want you to give it to Liu with your own hands."
Lieutenant General! Please Lieutenant General Liu, for the sake of the fact that he has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, spare his life!"
"Prince Rui?" Liu Ruyi was stunned, "What gift? Can you present it to me?"
"Yes!" After a moment, Baoyi hurriedly took out a small knife from his arms and respectfully handed it to Xiao Liu'er, who then handed it to Liu Ruyi's hand.
Liu Ruyi played with the knife in her hand. It was made of precious gold and was inlaid with gold wire. The price must be quite high!
Liu Ruyi fiercely pulled out the handle of the knife, but saw a few small words written on the blade. Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter!
