Chapter 23 Delivery
In this way, the limelight of Xing Tianjun was suppressed by Li Zicheng and once again became the focus of the court. Xiao Tianjian was also ready to stop Li Zicheng's weapons as promised, and carried dozens of large cars to the wharf of the ancient town. At the end of September, a fleet of several large ships finally docked. On the pier of the ancient town.
Although since Li Zicheng entered Shaanxi this time, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting sent heavy troops to guard the front line of Tongguan and tried to give Li Zicheng and other all kinds of volunteers to close the door and fight dogs in Shaanxi. However, with the connections accumulated over the years, Li Zicheng secretly had some ways in Heyang County, Tongzhou. After a few boats, he went downstream to the ancient town and docked on the dock of the ancient town.
Tian Jianxiu was dressed as a merchant this time. He strode from the springboard to the trestle, while Feng Gouzi had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as the two met, they greeted each other. Tian Jianxiu was not too polite to Feng Gouzi. After a little greeting, he waved his hand and asked his men to carry down a few large boxes from the boat. Zi, put it on the dock, and after opening the lid of the box hard, a ingot of white snowflake silver was suddenly exposed inside. Each ingot was fifty taels. At a glance, it was known that it was quite good official silver.
"This is the silver two prepared by our king, a total of 50,000 taels of silver. Brother Feng, please check it! But I don't know if your army is ready for what I made an appointment with General Xiao last time? Tian Jianxiu pretended to be generous and said to Feng Gouzi.
Feng Gouzi glanced at these boxes of silver, immediately waved his hand and asked people to lift the lid down, and replied with a smile, "With our general's temper, since such things have been promised to Brother Tian, there is no reason to eat words! Brother Tian, please come this way! The goods have already been shipped here!
This is the list. There are a total of 200 pairs of iron armor, 500 rods of bird guns, 500 kg of gunpowder, 2,000 barrels of a single knife, and 3,000 gun heads, which are the same! In addition, the general said that this is the first time that our two armies have cooperated in this way. In addition, he also gave your army 200 saddles, 300 three-eyed saddles, and 150 crutches as gifts for Brother Tian! It's definitely the best goods!"
Tian Jianxiu immediately went to the front of the goods with his men, pulled out some weapons and checked them. After looking at them, he was in a good mood. These guys can be said to be quite good, far beyond his expectations, and he checked the quantity, and there was no inquash at all, so he immediately hugged his fist and said to Feng Gouzi, "That Thank you, General Xiao! With these sharp weapons, we are still afraid of what those officers and soldiers will do! For General Xiao's affection, Tian is very grateful to my family! If you have feelings, if General Xiao can use our place in the future, just open your mouth! Brother, I'm in a hurry to bring these things back now, so I won't bother my brothers anymore!"
Feng Gouzi smiled and said, "Brother knows that Brother Tian's heart is like an arrow, but since he is here, how can he leave without even having a meal? Otherwise, if our general knew, wouldn't he scold his brother?
Looking at Feng Gouzi who seemed to have something to say, Tian Jianxiu could not refuse, so he promised to stay here for a while and then leave here.
Between the banquets, Feng Gouzi and Tian Jianxiu talked happily. Tian Jianxiu saw that Xiao Tianjian was good to them. This time, he was in a good mood, so he told Feng Gouzi a lot about Shaanxi, so that Feng Gouzi had a lot of first-hand information about Shaanxi.
"My general also knows that Li Chuangwang's life is difficult now. To tell you the truth, Brother Tian, our general also wants to give more help. At present, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting's dog officials are intent on nettingting us, since you are fighting with them in Shaanxi is indistinguishable. We can't look at it like this!
Today, my brother revealed a piece of news to Brother Tian. Our general has decided that he will send troops into Henan in the near future. He will respond to you from afar and will definitely relieve the people. After Brother Tian goes back this time, he can tell King Li Chuang that if there is anything else he needs, just come here and come to us. Our general As I said, our Xing Tianjun doesn't have much else at present. There is still some iron, and all kinds of weapons can also help you. We are all the rebels of the imperial court. We can help whatever we say!" While drinking with Tian Jianxiu, Feng Gouzi revealed to Tian Jianxiu the news that Xiao Tianjian was going to lead the army into Henan. His performance was very heartfelt, and his chest was slapped loudly.
After listening to this, Tian Jianxiu was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General Xiao. If Brother Xiao can swing in Henan now, it would be great! In this way, with the ability of your Xing Tianjun, you will definitely turn Henan upside down again! If you can stand on the other side of Henan, we will go back to Henan and overturn Henan!"
After the two of them had a drink, they also called their brothers. Tian Jianxiu was also very grateful for Feng Gouzi's hospitality. Before leaving, he also took Feng Gouzi and said, "Brother Feng, thank you for your hospitality. I won't say anything else. There will be many opportunities to trouble you in the future. I hope Brother Feng will give more in the future. Help is the way!"
Feng Gouzi smiled and said to Tian Jianxiu, "Brother Tian, don't worry. This time you come here, our general said that we will definitely help if we can help, and we have also arranged ships to escort you through Pinglu County to ensure that these goods will not be robbed by the government!"
After saying that, with a wave of hand, more than a hundred elite soldiers from the Xingtian Army's water camp immediately boarded the boats one after another, went down the river first and entered the Yellow River.
Tian Jianxiu didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to help so much, and even prepared someone to escort them, so he was even more grateful. After thanking him repeatedly, he boarded the ship and left. More than a dozen small boats of the Xing Tianjun escorted them to the upper reaches of the Yellow River against the current.
After watching Tian Jianxiu's ship disappear from sight, Feng Gouzi sneered and whispered, "You guys make trouble!" The bigger the noise, the better! Humph! Otherwise, where can we make money?
"General Yang, the general asked if you had all the ships ready?" Feng Gouzi turned around and asked Yang Kunshan standing behind him.
Yang Kunshan, wearing a brand-new Xingtian Army military uniform, stood straight and nodded and replied, "General, don't worry, the inferior position has mobilized nearly 70 large and small ships, and is already ready! It can be called at any time!"
Feng Gouzi nodded and said, "Very good! Don't reveal the news for the time being. The general will come in a few days! Be ready at any time!"
"I'm obedient!" Yang Kunshan immediately replied loudly.
