After Yao Wenkui led his troops into the city, he immediately divided them into hundreds of teams.
Start checking in the city.
After a thorough inspection, no ambush was found.
Of course, it is impossible to go into some houses and even if there are soldiers hiding in those houses, only a few of them are hidden, and they are scattered.
To wipe out their 40,000 soldiers, not only do we need soldiers outside, but we also need 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers ambushed inside to do it.
Yao Wenkui immediately rode out of the city and reported the situation truthfully.
Lin Che laughed after hearing this, "Haha, Sir Garrison. We're going to disturb you later!"
His expression was natural, but he didn't look like a general who had just sent troops to inspect someone else's city.
"My Lord, please!"
The Shenji Camp marched in full force and finally entered the city.
After entering the city, the group of new recruits in the village opened their eyes wide. Most of them had never seen such a tall building.
Passing by the door of a wealthy family, there were two stone lions in front, and the new recruits all wanted to touch them.
After the entire group had passed, the owner discovered that the stone lions at the door of his house were shining brightly...
"Pass the order down. Follow the instructions, rest, and resupply! No sneaking around. Anyone who disobeys will be punished by military law!"
"yes--"
The new recruits in this village are strong and tough, but they also have many bad habits. When they see good things, they want to steal them.
They don't think this is wrong. It's like when you go hunting and see mushrooms and wild vegetables on the road, you pick them up and eat them. What's wrong with that?
Just like when they passed by the door of that wealthy family just now, if it weren't for the officers' organization, several recruits would have carried the stone lion away.
After Lin Che gave the order, he followed Lang Zhenglu to the garrison's residence.
The two of them also got straight to the point.
Lang Zhenglu poured Lin Che a cup of tea and said, "This time, Prince Wu will not only give you two million, but also five thousand sets of equipment and five thousand pieces of weapons. Normally, even other teams would not be able to get these weapons and equipment even if they repeatedly applied through connections."
"Prince Wu truly admires the Marquis. He directly transferred it from the Tiance Army. Even if the Ministry of War asks about it, there will be no problem."
Lin Che showed the proper emotion: "Prince Wu and I are not related at all. Sigh... If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay the prince."
"Haha. Brother, I will definitely convey your words to Prince Wu."
"Then please!"
Lin Che bowed, his face showing even more emotion.
Prince Wu gave him war horses, weapons, and equipment, five thousand sets at a time. He seemed very generous and was sincere to him.
But Lin Che was also very clear that Prince Wu’s plan was that the 40,000 soldiers in the Shenji Battalion would become Prince Wu’s soldiers in the future, and now they were just giving them some equipment in advance.
Some people appear to be very kind and use bloodless methods, but they are no less cruel than others.
After chatting for a while, Lin Che simply said:
"Alas. What about my 40,000 men? You've seen all the equipment they have. Prince Wu's 5,000 sets of equipment are a timely help, but it's still far from enough. I wonder if you, sir, would sell any equipment? I can buy it with money."
"I, I do have some equipment here, but..." Lang Zhenglu hesitated to speak.
"Just what?" Lin Che asked quickly.
"Nothing, haha, brother, if you want it, I'll take charge and sell it to you."
In fact, what Lang Zhenglu wanted to say was: But, you are not going to use the two million I gave you before to buy my equipment, right?
A quarter of an hour later.
Lang Zhenglu took the two million with a grim expression, and found that this stack of money was indeed the two million he had given away, and he didn't even change the small cloth bag containing the money.
It returned to his hands intact.
As for Lin Che, he took away another batch of weapons.
Lang Zhenglu didn't say much. After all, there was no shortage of replaced weapons and equipment in the two cities. Many of them were even left on the battlefield during the wars between the two countries over the past few decades.
Many weapons were already rusty, but Lin Che didn't mind these "tetanus blades" and immediately let his subordinates divide them up.
Although his 40,000-man Shenji Battalion did not replace all its muskets with cannons, at least it no longer needed to use wooden weapons.
Lin Che was not afraid of spending money and continued to spend several million on shopping sprees in the city, including food and daily necessities.
At first, Lin Che thought he was quite rich, but after the various camps handed in their lists, he was at a loss.
"The battalion is short of 7,000 pairs of boots! Most soldiers don't even have a pair of shoes now."
"The Third Battalion requires sufficient feather arrows, but our battalion's archers can't even get one arrow each. The arrowheads are so blunt they can't even penetrate tofu."
"Other battalions may not approve it, but my medical team must be prioritized. If the medicines on these fifteen lists are not prepared, the brothers with broken arms will have to endure it for several months next time."
"The baggage train is short of fifty carriages. We need marching carriages made by the Mohists."
"General, this place is too hot. I'm applying for three thousand taels to buy iced watermelon—Kuntai!"
"Lord Lin, military life is too boring. I'm applying for 10,000 taels of funding to hold a poetry conference. - Zhou Xianchun."
…
Lin Che just glanced at it and left it alone, handing the full authority over to Finance Minister Yan Muskxiang.
I heard that almost all the purchase orders submitted that night were approved, with only two exceptions...
When the morning sun shines on this land.
The two men were patrolling listlessly dozens of miles outside the city, like wandering ghosts.
