As if he knew Zhu Bomu's intentions, Mu Yong immediately asked the two soldiers to untie the ropes binding Li An's daughter and bring her over.
When Yang Mubo saw Zhu Bomu take the gift, he smiled and said,""Brother, I just conquered Dong 'an. How is it? Is it convenient to do business now?”
"Naturally." Zhu Bomu dismounted his horse and walked into the Li Residence with Yang Mubo. After Yang Mubo entered the Li Residence, he arranged for two people to wait at the entrance of the hall. He smiled apologetically and said,
"Just now, I saw that your cavalrymen actually have armor, and I was momentarily tempted.”
Yang Mubo, this person, was extremely cautious when he spoke the day before, but today, he became more cultured.
Zhu Bomu was not surprised that Yang Mubo was interested in his chainmail. On the battlefield, the person with armor was the boss.
Why couldn't the Ming Dynasty border troops defeat the Eight Banners Army? Looking at the equipment, it was obvious that it was unrealistic for the two-armored border troops to fight against the three-armored Eight Banners Army.
Guan Ning's army had three layers of armor. Unfortunately, the Liao people were not afraid of the Qing Dynasty overnight. If Chongzhen had given the money to Bai Liangyu, Sun Chuanting, or Lu Xiangsheng, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would not have been destroyed.
As he thought about it, Zhu Bomu took the tea from Yang Mubo, blew on it and took a sip before saying,""I have all the armor, warhorses, and weapons you want. The armor you mentioned just now is chainmail. A chainmail is at least 50 taels of silver, or equivalent food.”
"So expensive?" Hearing that the chainmail was so expensive, Yang Mubo was speechless.
If it was so expensive, he wouldn't be able to afford it. After all, after today's battle, he still had about 400 people under him. If all 400 people were to be changed, it would be 20,000 taels of silver.
The Qing Dynasty's annual tax was only 20 million taels, and Kaihua Prefecture was only one of the hundreds of prefectures in the Qing Dynasty. It might not even be as rich as a town in Jiangnan.
Yang Mubo really couldn't fork out twenty thousand taels at once.
Thinking of this, he immediately hesitated. Zhu Bomu blew on his tea and said without raising his head,"Brother Yang, you should still have four or five hundred men under you, right? I can give you 200 sets of chainmail first. You can't owe me the rest of the armor and Dian horses.”
"Really?" Hearing that Zhu Bomu was willing to give him 200 sets of chainmail, Yang Mubo was instantly happy.
If Zhu Bomu was really willing to borrow 200 sets of chainmail armor, then the remaining wealth in his mansion plus today's gains could almost allow his original soldiers to change their equipment, and then take off the leather armor to recruit more subordinates.
In time, perhaps before the end of the year, he would be able to pull out thousands of soldiers. At that time, not to mention Wang Nong and Annan, even Peace Hall would not dare to care about him!
Thinking of this, Yang Mubo immediately placed an order for Zhu Bomu according to the quantity he thought of yesterday.
This time, he needed 50 Dian horses, 400 sets of chain mail, 2000 arrows, 500 steel knives and 500 shields. In total, he had to pay Zhu Bomu about 40,000 taels of silver.
However, there were many things that could be paid with wood and stones. In addition, Zhu Bomu was willing to pay on credit, so Yang Mubo only needed to pay ten thousand taels and one thousand two hundred and fifty stones of grain.
Once the price was settled, Zhu Bomu said that Yang Mubo would send people to Six Zhao Mountain to collect the items the day after tomorrow, which made Yang Mubo look at Zhu Bomu in a new light.
One had to know that Dian Ma and Chainmail were not so easy to obtain. Therefore, after probing, he immediately ordered people to clear out the Li residence, leaving only Zhu Bomu and himself.
Seeing that no one was around, Yang Mubo took off his hat and revealed his long hair,"Brother, you and I seem to be the same kind of people…"
"Hehe, maybe, but now is not the time.”Zhu Bomu did not take off his hat, but smiled and replied to Yang Mubo.
Yang Mubo, who didn't get a direct response from Zhu Bomu, wasn't angry. He even happily drank tea with Zhu Bomu for a while before sending Zhu Bomu out and watching him take Li An's daughter away.
After Zhu Bomu left, Yang Mubo's son, Yang Tian, walked to his side and said carefully,""Father, I think this Li Yuan guy is not simple…"
"Hehe, I knew it the first time I saw him. I just didn't know that his hands could reach so far.”As he spoke, Yang Mubo glanced at Li An's corpse on the ground, especially the eye-catching tail of the Coin Rat.
"Li An, Li An, you're a Miao? Instead of being a good person, he actually became a dog, pui!”As he spoke, Yang Mubo stepped on Li Yuan's head.
Looking at his father's actions, Yang Tian took a deep breath and said,""Now that Dong An Li has been destroyed, if the Qinggou of Tranquil Peace Hall asks us, how should we deal with them?”
"Deal?" Hearing this, Yang Mubo sneered,"When I get the item from Li Yuan in two days, I'll use the head of that old man in Wang Nongli as a sacrifice.”
"The Qing army of Kun Prefecture has been transferred away. There are only 500 Qing troops in Guangnan Prefecture in the northeast. Peace Hall won't dare to go against us. Now, we just hope that the Mongolians can delay the Qing army a little longer.”
After saying that, Yang Mubo kicked Li An's head away and turned to look at the cavalry that had already left Dong 'an. His eyes were filled with desire."Li Yuan…"
