Blood from Daming

Chapter 201
Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan's vigorous action to join the army followed Xue Polu and Lu Yaojin's Jinyiwei and Dongchang tokens, Yuan Chonghuan made a sharp 180-degree turn and ordered his officers and soldiers to leave. Zu Dashou and others couldn't turn their heads Where is he in a daze? Yuan Chonghuan stared at Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, Zu Dale, Zu Kuan for a while, and then rode his horse and headed north. Zu Dashou had no choice but to follow Yuan Chonghuan with [-] cavalry up.

Yuan Chonghuan's sudden retreat made the officers and soldiers of Xue Polu's camp heave a sigh of relief. After all, no matter whether they win or lose this bad battle, it will be the Ming Dynasty's arms and everyone will kill officials and rebel. I'm afraid there will be no good results.

Seeing that 500 of Xue Zong's [-] subordinates ran away with Yuan Chonghuan, Xue Polu couldn't help but sneered at Yuan Chonghuan. It's nothing to offend me, but you will suffer if you offend the third young master now.

Xue Zong saw that the general situation had already gone, and ordered Xue Jiu and Xue Shi to lead their people to walk. Xue Polu rode forward and shouted: "Xue Zong, I have something to tell you."

Xue Zong, Xue Jiu, and the dozen or so people felt a chill in their hearts. Could it be that Xue Polu wanted to forcefully detain them, so Xue Zong had no choice but to stand there immediately, and Xue Jiu and Xue Shi immediately lined up the hundred or so people who followed them up and down to wait. , Xue Polu rode his horse to a place about twenty steps away from Xue Zong and stopped.

After a while, Xue Polu said, "Xue Zong, don't you know it's wrong to collude with outsiders to deal with your own family?"

Xue Zong said blankly: "Xue Er, what's wrong with me just coming to get back what belongs to me."

Xue Polu became angry for a while when he heard Xue Zong's words, and he said to Xue Zong after a long time: "This is the imperial army. What kind of Xue family's private soldiers are there? Don't you understand that you have been deceived and now you are an abandoned son. "

Xue Zong: "Is it a private soldier? Everyone knows it well. I am the young master of the Xue family. These resources are all I deserve. When you see my father passed away, you want to fawn on the second room to get some benefits. Not bad, a servant." He actually managed to become a general, it seems that flattery really worked."

Xue Polu said angrily: "Xue Zong, I didn't expect that you have become such an unreasonable person. Although I, Xue Polu, was born as a servant, there is no one in the Xue family who disrespects me. This general is also my My own true ability was fought with a knife and a gun, our thirteen brothers have made many contributions to the Xue family's southern and northern wars, you, you, you still treat me as a servant in your eyes."

Seeing that Xue Polu was extremely angry, Xue Zong felt a little guilty, and seeing Xue Jiu and Xue Shi's faces were also very ugly, knowing that his slip of the tongue had hurt Xue Jiu and Xue Shi was also very disturbed.

Xue Zong: "I don't mean that, old nine, old ten, I hope you don't misunderstand me."

Xue Shi didn't reply, Xue Jiu said, "Eldest Young Master, we understand that you just made a slip of the tongue."

Xue Zong: "Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue."

Xue Polu originally wanted to persuade Xue Zong to ease everyone's tension, but Xue Zong had already decided that an alley had gone dark. Xue Polu was very sad. In fact, he expressed great hopes for Xue Zong, thinking that in the future Xue Zong would The family will still be headed by Xue Zong, after all Xue Aoren is not a person who can be a good head of the family.

However, the birth of Erfang Xue Yun made Xue Polu, Xue Si, Xue Wu, and Xue Liu return to their hearts in the shortest possible time, and finally devoted themselves to serving Xue Yun. The hero I saw came rushing towards his face following his fame and fortune. Xue Polu is also a human being with all kinds of emotions and six desires. No one is born willing to be a servant for the rest of his life. Only the appearance of Xue Yun made Xue Polu and the others see hope. In less than a year, Xue Polu actually went from being a family member to the position of a general. dreaming.

Xue Polu knew that the current patriarch Xue Rui wanted to help Xue Yun take the position, but the third young master Xue Yun didn't want the patriarch's bacon bones. Xue Zong and Xue Yunbi probably didn't even have the qualifications to carry shoes, so they still haven't realized where to continue Blaming the sky and others blaming grandfather Xue Rui for not helping him and supporting him, even if he wants to help him and support him, Xue Zong must be the material.

Seeing that Xue Polu didn't talk anymore, Xue Zong felt bored, so he turned the horse's head and whipped the horse's buttocks. The horse galloped forward in pain, let go of all four hooves and ran towards the north. Seeing Xue Zong, Xue Jiu and Xue Shi rode their horses to follow. After a while, Xue Zong's hundred cavalry officers and soldiers walked cleanly.

Seeing that Xue Polu was depressed, Lu Yaojin came out to make the decision himself, and ordered his soldiers to drag the fifty corpses to a corner of the camp and put them away. When people from Shanhaiguan came, they could also give credit for killing the rebels. It can save Yuan Chonghuan and others from making a fuss about what happened at the gate of the barracks.

While the officers and soldiers were carrying the corpses, the leading general of the guest army outside the camp approached Lu Yaojin. It turned out that the guest army general had seen the armors on the dozens of four people. Lu Yaojin heard After speaking, he was very surprised and asked in confusion: "Brother, these armors are all tattered. What's the use of these scraps of copper and iron?"

The general said: "When we left Sichuan, the Chief Secretary and the military personnel said that the capital had a lot of weapons and equipment, so we asked everyone to come to the capital to get them empty-handed. A small amount of swords, guns and armor are on their way to the capital, hey."

Lu Yaojin was overjoyed when he heard it. Now there is such a stupid big hat. He was tricked by his own people in his hometown, and he was punished by these officials when he came to Beijing. Doesn't it mean coming to Liaodong to die?

Lu Yaojin: "Where are you from?"

The general said: "We are a team from Sichuan. We set off a few years ago and arrived at Shanhaiguan in the middle of this month. We rested for three days and today, on the fourth day, we are going to Jinzhou to join the Ningjin defense system."

Lu Yaojin: "I'm afraid you didn't receive any armor and weapons in Shanhaiguan."

The general was a little ashamed and said: "The Liaodong Jinglue Mansion said that all weapons and armors were prepared by themselves, and they did not come to Shanhaiguan in the capital to pick up weapons and armors. In the end, they gave us [-] sets of weapons and armors for the Sichuan Army, and the rest waited. When you arrive at the garrison, ask your superiors what to do."

Lu Yaojin came out of the camp out of curiosity to look at the equipment of the Sichuan army for a while. He was shocked when he saw the five hundred sets of weapons and armor issued by Shanhaiguan, all of which were paper armor and some second-hand armor. The spear is the waist knife. Lu Yaojin went up to touch the seemingly brand-new paper armor. He felt that the thickness was obviously not enough. The outside was only painted with lacquer and no silk was added. This is a completely fake product.

Lu Yaojin looked at the general sympathetically, shook his head and said, "Brother, you are going to die if you go to fight the Tartars with such equipment and weapons."

The general said: "I have no choice but to find a solution with my boss when I get to the ground."

Lu Yaojin chatted a few words and was about to go back to the camp. At this time, he saw that the Sichuan army was setting up a stove to cook. Lu Yaojin felt very hungry after such a commotion today. It was probably caused by his nervousness just now. By the way, he invited the generals of the Sichuan army to have a meal together. For simple meals, the general of the Sichuan Army readily agreed.

Only Lu Yaojin and the general of the Sichuan army were eating in the big tent of the Xue Polu camp. Xue Polu was in a bad mood and went to the beach to relax. Jin accepted it without hesitation. The treat was very simple, four dishes and one soup, but there was a dish of braised sea fish in it, which is considered a rarity for Sichuan people, but if you live in the seaside of Liaodong for a long time, you might not be able to bear it of.

During the meeting, the general of the Sichuan Army claimed that his surname was Xiao, and he was a hereditary Qianhu of the Xunanwei in Sichuan. He brought 800 servants and 300 guards from the guards to report to the Chongqing government. Luzhou guards and other remote guards successively brought 500 people. As a result, the Chengdu [-]th guards dragged on for several days and only [-] people arrived. Chongqing guards sent troops. There are also [-] people, and two thousand is enough to make up.

But in the last few days when I was waiting to go to Chaotianmen and take a boat to Wuchang, some people escaped every day and there were a total of more than 300 people missing in a few days. Xu Nanwei Xiao Qianhu knew this situation, but the boss was not him, so he was naturally the one. It doesn't matter if I hang up high, then I know that the general appointed by Chongqing Wei is seriously ill before departure, and I can't go to Liaodong for a while.

Now the chief secretary of Chongqing and the officials of Chongqing Wei are in a mess. Although everyone suspects that the general is pretending to be sick, you still can't tell where he is. Well, the time for the expedition has already been delayed and there is no time to report to the Chengdu side to send another general. This time, the Chongqing government went overboard to select generals on their own behalf, but everyone knows that Liaodong is a deadly place, and Chongqing Wei does not have the right to directly send generals. So all the generals who were assigned died and their brothers-in-law refused to go. Finally, it was discovered that all the generals in Chongqing Wei fell ill collectively.

The Chief Secretary of Chongqing and the officials of the Chongqing Guard had no choice but to select generals from among the officers and men who were about to go on an expedition. There are barely a hundred households in the remote guard, and several military officers in the Chongqing guard are also reluctant to go on the expedition. Some people simply hide and wait for the ship to leave. You can’t do anything with him, so Xiao Qianhu, the highest rank, has become The elder brother who took the lead, Xiao Qianhu saw that his men and horses were not in order, and the responsibility was heavy, so he gave up. The Chongqing Chief Secretary and Chongqing Wei officials agreed to give Xiao Qianhu a position as a general, and temporarily recruited [-] warriors in Chongqing City Make up for the shortage of troops.
