Chapter 210 Transshipment Horses
When the smell of rice came, the mutton also started to grind oil. The soldiers responsible for roasting the mutton began to cut the mutton and sprinkle seasonings on it. The seasonings were ground pepper and ground into powder, and then mixed with salt. When the baking was almost done, pour it on top.
When Sun Yu and his party returned to the military camp, the entire camp was lively. All the soldiers lined up one by one, holding their rice bowls to cut their flesh. There were a lot of fat sheep, and five hundred strong men ate, which was only two for each person.
"Mr. Marquis, do you want to come some?" Han Zaiwu held up a bone of lamb legs and chewed the tendons on it, and walked up to Sun Yu and asked. He didn't eat much meat, but the oil on the bones made his face full of his face.
"No, I'm full." Sun Yu looked at the bare bones on the ground. I, the dignified marquis, could it be too much to pick up a bone on the ground like you?
"Well, knock on the bones, cook some porridge, drink it tomorrow morning, which is more fragrant than white porridge. In addition, Gao Huichang, go buy more meat and eggs tomorrow, so that it will keep up with the nutrition." Sun Yu burped. Seeing that these people obviously didn't eat well, let's talk about it tomorrow, Gao Huichang obviously bought less.
"Don't worry, Master Marquis, I will definitely buy more tomorrow." Gao Huichang's head was as easy as a chicken pecking rice. It was easy to deal with, and he brought enough money, but he didn't know how much he should buy. Now that Sun Yu has spoken, he will naturally open it to buy it. The ones he bought were not only in his stomach, but were eaten by the cavalry brothers. What could he not bear to bear?
"Well, bring me some hot water in, I will soak it." Feitian drank just right, soaked in a hot bath, and had a good sleep. The military camp was right by the Yangtze River, and the water was enough. After dinner, all the strength came to the riverside with buckets to fetch water. Even in the dark, there were boats on the riverside constantly patrolling to prevent anyone from smuggling.
Sun Yu didn't think about anything, and went to bed after taking a bath. I'll talk about the rest tomorrow.
The next day, the evil dog got up very early, and there was no movement in Sun Yu's tent. He pricked up his ears and listened. His breathing was very even, obviously he had not woken up yet. He asked a few of his subordinates to take care of him, so he went to wash and have dinner first.
I never had much anticipation for breakfast. Yesterday, Gao Huichang didn’t buy eggs, so I could only buy steamed buns with white porridge and eat it. It was still much better than the Wuchang Army next door. The evil dog ate five steamed buns in one breath, got up and touched his stomach, and walked towards the riverside. The evil dog has seen many times in Quanzhou since he was a child. It is the first time the Yangtze River has come back and is preparing to see the river view, but it is not in vain to come here.
The evil dog carried a mace and sat down by the river. Although the Wuchang Army was stationed here, the atmosphere was not tense and now he lived in peace with the Song Army. Four years ago, the land on the other side of the river was still under the rule of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he could travel freely, but now it has become an unreachable place.
At the end of the river, dozens of large ships were connected together and were flowing downstream. There were several warships guarding each other around. The evil dog stood up and looked into the distance. He saw that there were all war horses on the bow deck, which must have been transported from Jiangling. The evil dog carried the mace and ran towards the camp, so he had to pull Sun Yu up as soon as possible.
"Marty, Marquis, it's time to get up!" The evil dog rushed into the camp and ran directly to Sun Yu's tent, shouting while running.
Sun Yu had already got up and was wearing clothes. Halfway through, the evil dog pulled up the curtain and looked at him. The evil dog quickly put down the curtain.
"Mr. Marquis, the boat is here." The evil dog felt that his adults were all good. His body was as white as a woman.
Without masculinity, he is far worse than himself or Lao Cheng.
"Did you see?" Sun Yu tied up his belt and came out with the Tianshu Sword. The sun was quite high, and it was a little late. He turned around and walked towards the water tank, fetched water and washed it first.
"I saw dozens of large ships, connected together, downstream, and you can dock immediately. There are horses on the ship, so it must be ours." War horses are rare, so it was not so coincidental that such a large number of people appeared again.
"Well, Han Zaiwu, you take people to guard the camp, evil dog, you take a group of people to the dock with me." Although Huang Yanqian sent someone to say hello yesterday, he should go there himself. The navy general, General Feng, probably has to deal with him.
The pier by the river is extremely open, with three piers standing side by side, and one pier can dock nine large ships, which is entirely for wartime considerations and to increase the throughput of cargo as much as possible.
Sun Yu and his party arrived at the dock and showed their identity. The guards asked them to wait for a while and went to ask for instructions.
"Last general Feng Yan, I have met the Marquis!" The navy general Feng Yan received instructions from Huang Yanqian last night and waited at the pier early in the morning. How could he not care about what the governor of the above personally explained? Moreover, the other party is the youngest and most promising governor of the Southern Tang Dynasty today. It is an opportunity that many people can't get along with each other.
"General Feng is polite. I am here this time. I am very troubled. Please accept it if you are a little careful." Sun Yu winked at the evil dog, and the evil dog handed over the small box in his hand.
"Thank you for the reward!" He was quite heavy, almost 200 taels of silver, which was a considerable deal. Feng Yan did not refuse and turned around and handed it to the personal soldiers behind him.
"Mr. Marquis, please come here in the future." More than 20 large ships had arrived near the dock. Under the command of the navy, they slowly approached the dock. After Feng Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the dock.
Sun Yu nodded, followed with the Tianshu sword, and the evil dog lit up a few people, followed Sun Yu to the dock, and the rest of the cavalry were waiting at the ferry.
Feng Yan looked at the war horses brought down from the boat and felt that his saliva was about to flow down. Each of them was a top-notch war horse, fat and strong, and they were all treasures of the Song army. If it weren't for Huang Yanqian's handwriting, Feng Yan would have to scrape some oil and water down. If it weren't for the fact that he could have made one of them casually, it would be much better than that little silver.
"I've seen the Marquis." Su Lie, the manager of the business, saw Sun Yu standing on the dock from a distance. He didn't care about anything else and walked through the war horse for a long time, finally squeezed into Sun Yu.
"This matter is done well. Go back to Jianpu and you will get a reward!" This batch of war horses is slightly better than the war horses in the cavalry battalion under Sun Yu's command. Two hundred taels per horse will take advantage of it. You must not be rewarded, otherwise who will do your best in the future?
"I thanked the Marquis for all my duty." Su Lie was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth, but he still had to be more at ease in his words and could not be complacent. This would definitely be a great reward for being able to make his Marquis emphasize the reward. Su Lie felt a little fluttered and forced himself to calm down.
"How many war horses are there in this group?" Sun Yu nodded. The most urgent task was to get this batch of war horses back first, and after all the training was done, this was the first established cavalry in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"The Marquis of Return, 618 horses, divided into three days, a total of six trips, and they can be transported." The speed of going downstream from Jiangling Prefecture was very fast, and the return journey was much slower. Two trips a day were the limit.
"Okay, hurry up and be careful. Also, Jiangling
What happened to the mansion?" Sun Yu patted Su Lie on the shoulder. All the horses on each ship were down. The cavalry battalion had thousands of people, helping to transfer all the war horses from the dock.
Su Lie lowered his head and roughly explained the battle situation in Jiangling City. The Song army had a strong offensive and suffered a lot of losses in Jiangling City. After saying that, it was almost time, so he turned around and asked everyone to return. There was still one trip today.
The cavalry camp was full of horse-loving people. When the war horses entered the camp, they spontaneously fetched water to wash them. Gao Huichang went to the city to buy things, but he had not come back yet. He had to wait for him to come back before the war horses could have food to eat.
The fire was like a king, wandering around the camp, looking here and there, as if it was the boss here, declaring this fact to other war horses.
Gao Huichang was wandering around Wuchang City at this moment. Compared to other jobs, buying things is a good job. Gao Huichang brought more than a dozen brothers into the city. He bought more than 30 sheep and more than a hundred chickens and more than a thousand eggs, all of which were placed on the carriage borrowed from the Wuchang Army camp. In the end, he bought about 800 stones of grass. If it was not enough, he could buy some on the way. If it was too much, it would be inconvenient to carry it.
When Gao Huichang returned to the camp, huge cheers burst out from the entire camp. Sun Yu shook his head helplessly. If he had breasts, he was a mother's thing.
In the Song army camp, Murong Yanzhao received news that war horses were being transferred in Jiangling City, and they were all their treasures.
"Where is the navy? Why haven't you been there yet?" Murong Yanzhao slapped the table with a palm, and let the other party sway and move the war horse without being moved. What's the navy doing?
"General, the Navy said that the Southern Tang Navy is powerful and is in harmony with Nanping. If you go up like this, it will not only be of no help, but you will also defeat all the money you have finally accumulated." Aide Yu Wen Su gently waved the folding fan and just discussed the matter. The Navy was right. Today, the Navy's Navy is exposed under the eyes of the Southern Tang Navy, and only a few small broken ships are not useful at all. The main reason is that the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are not under the control of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the main threat of the Northern Song Dynasty is still from the north. The development of the Navy has always been very slow.
"Jiangnan, who is afraid of death? How dare he?" Murong Yanzhao still feels strange. Li Yu, who had been obedient before, fearing that he would be caught and hurt, suddenly became tough. The Song army naval commander had warned them several times, but he would ignore them and say that he would destroy the water bandits. Which water bandits are? In addition to the Nantang Naval Commander, the Northern Song Naval Commander, the Nanchu Naval Commander, had long since shrunk and did not leave the village due to civil strife. This was obviously just a random excuse to block the river.
"General, people's minds are moving. Now it's not the past." Yu Wen Su shook his head and finally lowered his voice. Even in this general's camp, whether there are ears in the walls is unknown.
"Li Chuyun is not worthy of great use. If he dies, he will be able to compete with him, and he will leave such a mess." Murong Yanzhao shook his head. In the past, who dared to block the power of the Great Zhou imperial guards except the Northern Han and the Khitan in the north? Now the imperial guards are still the same imperial guards, and the generals are still the same generals, but they were only the Song Dynasty, so why can't it be possible?
