Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 131

In the Battle of Tangzhanbao, Young Master Zhang cleverly used the gunpowder cart tactics and teamed up with Mao Wenlong to defeat the slave guards of the Xianghuang Banner directly controlled by Nurhachi. He beheaded more than [-] people and was temporarily appointed as the banner owner of the Xianghuang Banner. Jiannu Azig was wounded and fled, breaking the nonsense that Jiannu cavalry were invincible in field battles. This battle was also known as the Tangzhan Victory.However, what made the main commander of this battle, Young Master Zhang, was very depressed. After joining forces with Mao Wenlong's army, Young Master Zhang spent all his time talking. It was not until the end of the battle that Lu Wanling, who was hiding in the infantry, brought a letter to Mao Wenlong. This little white-faced Young Master Zhang is the legendary Zhang Great Demon King who killed Jiannu and cried his father and mother to have nightmares...

"Master Zhang, I'm really sorry." Mao Wenlong bowed his hands to Young Master Zhang with embarrassment on his face, "I really didn't expect that you, Master Zhang, are so young and look like a girl... You are so handsome and elegant, so I misunderstood you." My lord, you still treat you like a bluffing liar and order your own soldiers to arrest you, if you offend me, I hope you will be forgiven by Master Zhang."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all my parents' fault, it's okay, why did you make me look so weak." Young Master Zhang said with a wry smile: "If I can look as majestic and imposing as Marshal Mao, Marshal Mao will definitely not Let alone admitting the wrong person, it will not be so difficult for the subordinate officials to lead the troops in the army to fight."

"Master Zhang is joking." Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Actually, Mao Wenlong admires Master Zhang even more. If Mao Wenlong can look like Master Zhang, you are such a good-looking talent, and you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you will definitely be popular with beautiful girls when you visit brothels. There is no need to spend money to find those second- and third-rate goods in kilns to vent their anger."

"Marshal Mao also likes these Taoisms? If there is a chance, how about we learn some tricks? Brother, I am well-known in this field." Young Master Zhang's eyes lit up, and he blurted out habitually.And Mao Wenlong didn't expect that the gentle-looking Young Master Zhang was just like himself in his bones, so he also blurted out: "Okay, after passing the Yalu River, our two brothers will go to the yard in Yizhou to have a good time and have fun." Said Come on, Mao Wenlong and Young Master Zhang looked at each other and laughed, both of them felt kind to each other.

"Report! Master Zhang, General Wu Sangui and Marshal Mao's generals are fighting." Young Master Zhang and Mao Wenlong drew closer here, but there was a conflict between General Jinzhou and General Dongzhen over there.Hearing the report from the soldiers, Young Master Zhang and Mao Wenlong, who didn't want to see the Ming army fighting each other, didn't dare to neglect. They both rushed to the scene of the incident, and when they got there, they were blown up into a mess by the gunpowder truck. A large circle of people surrounded the Dingliao official road. Wu Sangui, who was only fourteen years old, was shirtless, holding a steel knife, and was chasing down a Dongzhen general who was holding a head. At the age of [-], he was also born tall and big, but he was obviously not Wu Sangui's opponent in a hand-to-hand fight. He was chopped up and down by Wu Sangui, and he almost failed to be cut solid several times.Wu Liuqi, who had a good relationship with Wu Sangui, led a group of Jinzhou Ming troops to stop a group of Dongzhen soldiers. Both sides were at war with each other and might fight at any time.

"Stop!" Young Master Zhang and Mao Wenlong shouted loudly, waving their whips and pulling out of the passage, rushed to Wu Sangui and General Na Dongzhen and dismounted together.Seeing that Wu Sangui had cut several wounds on the Dongzhen general, the furious Young Master Zhang rushed forward and grabbed Wu Sangui, without saying a word, he slapped him twice, and shouted: "You bastard, kneel down! "

"Master Zhang, I..." Wu Sangui still wanted to argue, but Young Master Zhang slapped him twice again. Wu Sangui, who admired Young Master Zhang quite a lot, had no choice but to obediently kneel down.The general of Dongzhen rushed in front of Mao Wenlong and shouted, "Godfather, you are in charge of the child. We came all the way from Jinzhou to Dingliao to rescue the Jinzhou army. They even hacked me with knives and almost chopped off my hands." It's broken!" As he said that, the Dongzhen general saw his right hand light up, revealing his right arm that had been cut to the bone by the steel knife.Mao Wenlong peeked at Young Master Zhang in some embarrassment, and asked the general of Dongzhen, "Why did he kill you?"

"He snatched my head! This is the real head of Jiannu Meler!" the Dongzhen general replied confidently.Young Master Zhang was even more furious when he heard that, he shouted at Wu Sangui and asked, "Wu Sangui, you are becoming more and more outrageous, you killed fewer Jiannu in Shengjing? Your achievements are enough to promote you to be a lieutenant general." , why do you still want to take the credit of General Dongzhen? Hurry up and kowtow to Marshal Mao to make amends!"

"Master Zhang, I didn't take the credit from him, but he took the credit from me!" Wu Sangui yelled like killing a pig.Wu Liuqi also rushed over there, and testified: "Master Zhang, I can testify to Brother Sangui that it was indeed the Dongzhen general who robbed Brother Sangui of the credit. When we cleaned the battlefield, Brother Sangui came first. The first found the head of the Jiannu general, and immediately chopped it off and showed it to us. The Dongzhen general rushed up and snatched the head of Jiannu, and kicked the Sangui brothers. The Sangui brothers were relatively calm at first, but they just showed up. That Dongzhen general asked for the head back, who knew that the Dongzhen general not only refused to give it, but also scolded Brother Sangui for not being as big as him, and dared to take credit from him, telling Brother Sangui to get out of here, otherwise Brother Sangui would be killed as well. He was slaughtered, Brother Sangui couldn't be more angry, so he started fighting with him."

"Oops, this time I wronged the big traitor in the future." Young Master Zhang looked a little embarrassed.On the other side, Mao Wenlong was furious. He punched the Dongzhen general till his mouth spewed blood. He jumped up and kicked him fiercely. Shame on me? I can’t beat you to death!” As he said that, Mao Wenlong picked up the horsewhip and whipped the general again, causing the Dongzhen general to be ripped apart, rolling all over the ground, wailing and begging for mercy, Young Master Zhang couldn’t stand it any longer, went up to hold Mao Wenlong and persuaded: "Brother Mao, forget it, head-grabbing is a common occurrence on the battlefield, there is no need to get so angry over such a trivial matter."

Anyway, Mao Wenlong finally stopped beating, and apologized to Young Master Zhang with some embarrassment, "Brother Zhang, I made you laugh, I am really sorry." After that, Mao Wenlong turned to the Dongzhen general and shouted: "Dog Day! Return the head to that little brother, kowtow to him to apologize, and then go back and get forty lashes!" The Dongzhen general slowly got up and didn't speak until the furious Mao Wenlong kicked him in the stomach again. On the next day, he endured the pain and walked in front of Wu Sangui, first returned Fei Yingdong's head to Wu Sangui with both hands, then knelt down and kowtowed, and said viciously: "Little brother, Shang Kexi apologizes to you."

"Shang Kexi?!" Young Master Zhang's evil eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets, and he thought that this is really flooding the Dragon King Temple, and the family does not recognize the family——Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, two traitors who fought for the head of a Jian slave Swords face each other, who will believe this word?But what Young Master Zhang, who was brainwashed by Jianyi TV series, didn't know was that the relationship between Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi in history was actually extremely bad. Wu Sangui was beaten so badly that his father and mother were ready to set themselves on fire, not to mention, it also caused Shang Kexi to be placed under house arrest by his son, who died in depression, and was finally given a posthumous posthumous honor by Emperor Kangxi who built slaves.It was Shang Kexi's unborn son Shang Zhixin who really fought against Wu Sangui against the Qing Dynasty...

Mao Wenlong's army management was indeed very strict, and Shang Kexi had already kowtowed to Wu Sangui to apologize, but he still ordered the soldiers to whip Shang Kexi forty leather whips to rectify the military law.But in this way, there was more or less a gap between the Jinzhou Army and the Dongzhen Army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Young Master Zhang hurriedly threw out the two big gifts he had planned to give to Mao Wenlong. The first big gift was Shengjing City. The 5 taels of silver that was robbed in the village was given to Mao Wenlong as military pay. The second big gift was to publicly announce that he would go to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to transfer the statistics of Dongzhen's military exploits to Shanhaiguan, and Shanhaiguan would directly count the harvest of the Dongzhen army. Jian slave head.The Dongzhen soldiers who were so excited by Ning Qiandao cheered thunderously, which completely diluted the contradiction and gap between the Jinzhou Army and the Dongzhen Army. Mao Wenlong was also overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Young Master Zhang, and the relationship with Young Master Zhang was strained again. One step closer.

After cleaning the battlefield, the Jinzhou Army and the Dongzhen Army assembled their respective teams and set off for the Yalu River again.When he was free on the road, Young Master Zhang specially found Wu Sangui, and apologized to him face to face, and apologized to him for his misunderstanding of Wu Sangui. Fortunately, Wu Sangui didn't remember the hatred of those slaps, but said to Young Master Zhang indignantly: "Master Zhang, it's no wonder that Ning Qiandao often said that Dongzhen soldiers were bandit soldiers. If they were to be replaced by generals from other armies who dared to steal the military exploits of the friendly army and even tried to kill the friendly generals, they would have been beheaded for public display. Mao Wenlong only smoked the one who was still happy Beating the whip, this is clearly cover-up and connivance. Master Zhang, believe it or not, if our coach were you, Mao Wenlong might not even be willing to give up the whip."

"Brother Sangui, I know you can't be angry, but you also have to think about Marshal Mao, he is also in trouble." Young Master Zhang sighed, pointed at Mao Wenlongjun, who took the initiative to serve as the back of the army, and said, "Three Brother Gui, have you seen that? Marshal Mao’s army doesn’t even have uniform uniforms, weapons, and flags, and the rations they eat are miscellaneous and rough, which shows how hard it was for him to fight against the enemy’s rear. If it's worse, what else can we use to control the army? If the Dongzhen Army is as strict as the Guanning Army's military discipline, I'm afraid it won't take half a year for the Dongzhen Army to lose their hearts, and most of them will go to Jiannu to surrender. , Marshal Mao made some small moves for the cohesion of the army, we should just turn a blind eye and close one eye."

When Wu Sangui fought side by side with the Dongzhen army, he had already seen that the conditions of the Dongzhen army were extremely difficult. Many soldiers were wearing the tattered padded jackets of ordinary civilians, and they were holding crude weapons made by themselves. They didn't have a helmet at all, and compared with the Jinzhou army with bright banners, they looked like a group of beggars in tatters.When Master Zhang said this again, Wu Sangui also lowered his head, and replied: "Okay, I will listen to Brother Zhang, and if they provoke me again in the future, I will try my best to bear it."

"Good brother, inner sage and outer king, this is the demeanor of our Chinese men." Young Master Zhang patted Wu Sangui on the shoulder approvingly, and stared at Mao Wenlong's army for a long time. At that time, the queue was still neat and tidy, especially the guards around Mao Wenlong. Needless to say, the team was neat, and there was a faint murderous aura rising into the sky. Young Master Zhang couldn't help murmuring: "What a tiger and wolf division, there are always such One day, I will personally train an army that is hundreds of times stronger than this one, an army of absolute direct line that only obeys my orders!"

………………

Young Master Zhang and Wu Sangui took the overall situation into consideration, put down their barriers and tried their best to close the relationship between the Jinzhou Army and the Dongzhen Army, but Shang Kexi, who was beaten all over by Mao Wenlong, didn't think so. He thought he had come to Dingliao from Jinzhou to rescue The Jinzhou Army should take some advantage of the Jinzhou Army, but Wu Sangui not only refused to let himself take advantage, but also caused himself to be beaten by his godfather Mao Wenlong himself, making himself a fool of himself in public. This breath is simply unbearable!So after being given forty lashes by the enforcement of the military law, Shang Kexi inevitably hated the ignorant brat Wu Sangui even more to the bone, and when Shang Kexi was crawling on the carriage, moaning and cursing, the other one looked at Wu Sangui and couldn't help but hate him. The pleasing celebrity Kong Youde is here again.

"Brother Xixi, I have some bad news for you. Don't be angry when you hear it." Kong Youde said to Shang Kexi in a low voice: "Zhang Hao Gu barbarian gave Dongzhen 5 taels of silver as a military salary. Godfather just ordered to reward the three armies. I specifically confessed that I am not allowed to count rewards for you, and I will use you to kill chickens and monkeys, and we are not allowed to have conflicts with Jinzhou soldiers."

"Damn it, I'm surprised by their stinky money!" Shang Kexi groaned and cursed, but his heart grew more and more angry.Kong Youde took the opportunity to say again: "Brother Xi, my brother is really worthless for you. That brat named Wu Sangui chopped you up in public and caused you to be whipped by his godfather in public. If we don't get this justice back, our Liaodong Third Mine Where is the disciple's face?"

"Then what can we do?" Shang Kexi replied sullenly: "That brat Wu Sangui is covered by Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Haogu is backed by nine thousand years, let alone us, even godfather would not dare What to do with them."

"If you can't do it clearly, you can do it darkly. If you can't do it straight, we can do it crooked." Kong Youde said mysteriously: "Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, is the deputy general of Ningyuan, and he was only temporarily transferred to Jinzhou to participate in the war." Sooner or later, Zhang Haogu will have to return to Ningyuan to take up the post, and then Zhang Haogu will not be able to continue to protect him, as long as Ningyuan is willing to vent his anger on us and want Wu Sangui's life, isn't it easy?"

"Will Ningyuan help us with this?" Shang Kexi was a little moved.Kong Youde smiled mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xixi, have you forgotten the hint that the people from Ningyuan gave us before? As long as we carry our godfather behind our backs and use sea boats to help them transport food and keep us promoted to three ranks, send Going head is no longer picky. Thankfully, brother, you are the lieutenant general of Guanglu Island, and all the ships in Guanglu Island are at your disposal. It is easy to accomplish what Ningyuan requires—we can add Wu Sangui’s head as a condition. , didn’t you just let out this bad breath?”

"Use Guanglu Island to deliver grain to Ningyuan?" Shang Kexi's face turned pale, and he asked in surprise, "Brother Kong, are you crazy? Don't you know who Ningyuan is selling grain to? We usually take advantage of it, and occasionally open it Just close your eyes and forget about it, just use the sea boats from Guanglu Island to help them transport food, if godfather finds out, why don’t you peel our skins?”

"Brother Xixi, what are you afraid of?" Kong Youde persuaded patiently: "Guanglu Island is surrounded by the sea, godfather rarely goes there a few times a year, and the people in charge of patrolling the sea are me and brother (Geng) Zhongming, as long as you don't tell me If I don’t mention Brother Zhongming or the Liaodong Three Coal Mine Disciples, how could the godfather know? Moreover, Zhang Haogu destroyed Jiannu’s plan to go south to seize food this time, and he attacked Shengjing successfully and burned Jiannu. If there is a lot of food in stock, the price of food in Liaodong will definitely soar dozens of times, if we seize the opportunity, we can not only get revenge, but also make a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone, wouldn’t it be wonderful?”

If Kong Youde said these words to others, even if he said them to Wu Sangui before Li Zicheng broke Beijing, he must be seeking his own death, but who is Shang Kexi? ——The famous Jiannu Pingnan King, a super traitor who was surrounded by Wu Sangui's army in Guangzhou during the San Francisco Rebellion and still swore to die for Jiannu, heard the words of Kong Youde, the father of Kong Sizhen, so why not be moved?So Shang Kexi only moaned and pondered for a moment, then quickly gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, Brother Kong, please go and find Brother Zhongming, and the three of us have a good discussion to see what we should do and how to send someone over there." Contact Ningyuan!"

………………

"Brother Zhang, the Yalu River is ahead." When the green Yalu River appeared in the binoculars, Mao Wenlong put down the binoculars presented by Young Master Zhang, and excitedly introduced to Young Master Zhang: "Ten miles north of the Yalu River along the official road is North Korea. Uiju City, our army can rest there, when we get to Uiju, brother, I will ask you to be happy and happy, and let you taste what a Korean woman is like."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Mao." Young Master Zhang raised his binoculars to appreciate the scenery of the Yalu River, and asked in surprise, "Brother Mao, I don't seem to have heard that you sent someone to arrange a boat to cross the river. Why are there so many boats waiting for us on the Yalu River? ?”

"I sent someone to prepare the boat, but when I rushed from Jinzhou to Dingliao, I sent someone to send a letter to the king of North Korea, Li Zhen, telling him to arrange a boat to meet you." Mao Wenlong explained with a smile The reason, speaking of this, Mao Wenlong suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Young Master Zhang: "By the way, Brother Zhang, I have to remind you of one thing. Our Ming Dynasty sent two eunuchs to supervise the country in North Korea. They are not easy to mess with." , you must be careful of them."

"Why? Eunuch Wang Minzheng and Eunuch Hu Liangfu don't have a good reputation in North Korea?" Young Master Zhang asked suspiciously.Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly and replied: "It's not just a bad reputation? It's notorious! When they came to North Korea last year, the North Koreans heard that they paid a lot of money for this good job, and they planned to make money back in North Korea. I was so frightened that the price of ginseng and fur in the North Korean market suddenly tripled, and the king of North Korea even ordered all the Taoists in North Korea to send a bolt of silk cloth every four knots, and to use ginseng and grain as collateral to pay the military salary I just got. I borrowed it to honor the two father-in-laws. As a result, the appetites of the two father-in-laws were unimaginably large, and they were not satisfied after eating these things and several thousand catties of ginseng. The nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, and even if there is no bridge across the river, there is no bridge toll, which completely tosses North Korea."

"Then what is their attitude towards you, Brother Mao?" Young Master Zhang asked curiously.Mao Wenlong sighed, and replied: "They even dared to make such a fuss about the king of North Korea. How can their attitude towards me be so good when I am a small Dongzhen soldier? No, Mr. Hu Liangfu has already spoken last time. Now, I want me to erect a statue and a shrine for Nine Thousand Years on Phi Island, and then he will go to Phi Island to check—what to check? Check my silver! Brother Zhang, you broke Shengjing this time and got some silver , They must also be thinking about it, my brother thinks that you are going to bleed a lot this time."

"Hehe, don't worry Brother Mao, I'm not afraid." Young Master Zhang smiled and refused to explain the reason.Mao Wenlong was really kind to Young Master Zhang, and reminded him kindly: "Brother Zhang, we are not afraid of those two eunuchs when it comes to fighting, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Mao Wenlong's face changed drastically - because Mao Wenlong suddenly saw that the two father-in-laws, Wang Minzheng and Hu Liangfu, who had made North Korea famous all over the country, were already riding over with smiles on their horses in red robes.Subconsciously, Mao Wenlong hurried to reach for his purse, ready to pay for the money to send to these two plucking masters.But what made Mao Wenlong dumbfounded was that the two father-in-laws, Wang Minzheng and Hu Liangfu, had already dismounted when they were ten feet in front of him. , met Uncle Qian."

"Eunuch Wang, Eunuch Hu, please hurry up." Young Master Zhang glanced at Mao Wenlong, and said with a smile: "You two father-in-laws, please don't call them that. In terms of age, you are both 30 or [-] years older than me."

"Uncle Gan, you must not kill us." The two father-in-laws Wang Minzheng and Hu Liangfu held up two wooden boxes together, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gan, you and our godfather Song Jin Song are like brothers and sisters. We don’t call you Uncle Gan?——Besides, the last time the Supervisor of Rites selected the eunuch who envoy to North Korea, none of the eunuchs in the Thirteenth Prison did not want to be this job. Chitose said good things for us in front of us, and we got this good job. The nephews are so disrespectful, it's a little mean, and please don't dislike the uncle... Marshal Mao, what's wrong with you? Why did you fall off the horse?"
