Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 228 Has That Taste
Guyuan City.

Since the start of the war, Guyuan City has been more or less deserted for a few days, and the people and businessmen will subconsciously stay away from the place where the war is fought, especially in this era, even if it is the army of their own country, the people and businessmen are not willing to provoke it. For those who play with knives, accidents will happen if they are not careful, so no one wants to come over.

This era is not like the later generations. The army of the later generations is the people's soldiers. Everyone is willing to join the army. They don't even need to bring weapons for disaster relief. Everyone sincerely supports the army.

However, this situation improved very quickly. Within a few days after the start of the war, the people and businessmen found that the war did not seem to have a great impact on us, and some were positive.For example, purchasing, the Black Dragon Army has never stopped purchasing in Guyuan City, and it is all settled in cash, and the price will not be suppressed, which can be said to be very reasonable and fair.

In addition, the Black Dragon Army's military discipline is abnormal, and it can be said that it is absolutely innocent to the people. When encountering a cart transported by the people, it will even help push the cart and give way.

Although the matter is not big, it reflects the quality of the Black Dragon Army, which greatly increases the prestige of the Black Dragon Army. At the same time, the prestige of the prince Zhu Houzhao is also enhanced. Look, this is the army of His Highness the Prince.With such an army, His Royal Highness the Prince's love for the people can be seen. Zhu Houzhao's reputation in the northwest can be said to have skyrocketed for a while.

Of course, the most important thing for the army is to fight. If these things are done well, but you can’t win the war, people will not really like you. After all, fighting is your job. What the people want is a brave and good fighter. You can protect your own army, but you can't do it with self-confidence when chatting with Gentiles.

Three years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led people to a great victory outside Guyuan City, and many people in Guyuan were witnesses of that battle.

This time they still believed that Daming could win and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could win, but before the news came, they were definitely worried.This also includes officials from Guyuan, and even Qin Hong, the governor of the three sides.

However, news soon came. After all, the relationship between the front line and the rear had never been broken. News would come every day, and there would be soldiers escorting prisoners and livestock every day.One by one news also followed them back, how many tribes were exterminated today, how many Tartars were killed today, and the morale of the entire Guyuan City suddenly rose.

"My lord, the livestock market is ahead!" Liao Fan stood beside Qin Hong and said with a smile, "These days, the livestock market in Guyuan has always been very lively."

Qin Hong naturally knew about this matter. Countless cattle and sheep were sent back, all of which were sold in the livestock market in Guyuan, and some of the injured were directly slaughtered for meat.The intact cattle and sheep are sold directly, and the price is more than [-]% lower than the market price, which attracts a large number of merchants and common people, and everyone wants to take advantage of this bargain.

Under such circumstances, Guyuan City became more stable, and it also made everyone respect His Highness the Crown Prince more.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look!" Qin Hong smiled and said to Liao Fan beside him, and walked in first after speaking.

Naturally, the smell of the livestock market is not very good. There are livestock feces and the smell emanating from the livestock. It is very pungent, but it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people and merchants.Seeing Qin Hong and Liao Fan, everyone hurriedly saluted, while Qin Hong hurriedly signaled everyone to excuse themselves, and at the same time watched with great interest the people holding the cattle and sheep they had just bought.

"Okay! Okay!" He stretched out his hand and patted a steer, Qin Hong's face was about to burst into laughter, and his whole body was filled with joy.

Liao Fan followed Qin Hong, and said with a smile, "This battle is a big victory, and the Northwest can finally be stable for several years. His Royal Highness is really amazing."

The two walked through the livestock market talking and laughing. Qin Hong also spent money to buy a sheep, which was fat and strong. He was going to kill and eat the meat when he went back. The sheepskin was used to make a sheepskin mattress.When the sheep seller saw that it was Qin Hong, he asked Qin Hong to move away without asking for any money, but Qin Hong naturally refused with a smile.

"This is all earned by the soldiers at the front. If you sell it for some money, the soldiers who died in battle can receive more pensions, and the soldiers who have done meritorious service can get more rewards. Today, I moved a sheep for nothing. The soldiers will lose some money, what is this? This is corruption, and this official cannot do it, so this money must be given.”

Although Qin Hong's sentence was short and nothing too profound, it won the praise of countless people. This is the example of Ming officials.Qin Hong's prestige has once again increased, and everyone hopes that this old man can live a long life, serve as an official for Daming for a few more years, and do more for the people.

The two left the livestock market satisfied. Qin Hong's old servant led the sheep that Qin Hong had bought. It didn't know that the smiling, kind-hearted old man in front of him was going to give it a knife.

"Zhong He, come to eat mutton at home tonight!" Qin Hong extended an invitation to Liao Fan with a smile. After getting along with each other for several years, Qin Hong was very satisfied with Liao Fan and treated him like his own nephew.

"Okay!" Liao Fan nodded, and then said with a smile: "This mutton is a treasure in the Northwest. I have eaten it for several years, but I just can't get enough." Speaking of this, Liao Fan laughed first, and his tone remained the same. They were all excited: "What's more, this was snatched by His Royal Highness and someone with him, so you must have a good taste!"

Qin Hong pointed at Liao Fan and said with a smile, "You! You are narrow!"

The two of them were strolling back when suddenly a follower ran over. After seeing Qin Hong and Liao Fan, he gasped and said, "My lords, good news from the front line, good news, His Royal Highness has won a big victory, a big victory."

Hearing this news, Qin Hong and Liao Fan had already prepared for it, but they were overjoyed in their hearts, and quickly asked, "Win?"

"Victory, big victory!" The attendant also said quickly: "The person who reported the victory has returned, and he is in the Yamen!"

Qin Hong and Liao Fan looked at each other, and quickly said: "Go, let's have a look!" After saying that, the two quickly walked towards the carriage.

When the two came to the yamen, the place was already full of joy, Qin Hong looked around: "Where is the person who reported the victory?"

At this time, a general of the Black Dragon Army came out from the crowd, saluted Qin Hong and Liao Fan, and said, "The Black Dragon Army scout Wei Baihu Jiang Hu has seen the two adults, and they came back to report victory under the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. "

"Tell me quickly!" Qin Hong waved his hand to signal Jiang Hu to excuse him, and asked with a big smile.

Jiang Hu didn't hide anything, he explained in detail how the battle started and how it was fought, all about the Tartars' harassment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a decision to attack the Tartars tribe, forced the Tartars to fight decisively, and then defeated them in one fell swoop The main force of the Tartars, so to speak, immediately have that taste.
