Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

The tents outside the four doors were set up so densely.

From the uniform military tents at the beginning to all kinds of tents at the end, some were even patched.

There are a lot of soldiers, but there is a big lack of equipment.

Whether it was equipment purchased from Renchengwei or collected from the four counties, there were only about 6,000 complete sets of armor when they were put together.

However, all the swords, spears, swords and halberds added up to barely 10,000, no more.

Kong Yinzhi asked Liu Zhongdi to be responsible for the equipment of the Kong family army, which was a bit too much to ask.

However, he did put some thought into it.

Six thousand soldiers in armor, wearing their own clothes underneath.

The standard military uniforms purchased from Renchengwei were given to another group of soldiers.

This means there are another 5,000 soldiers wearing standard uniforms and looking neatly made-up.

In this way, the 11,000 soldiers in neat formation would look very magnificent.

The rest of the soldiers had neither armor nor swords, spears, or halberds. They all wore their own clothes and carried their own hoes, shovels and other farm tools as weapons.

Kong Yinzhi was a little unhappy when he first heard that the equipment was insufficient.

But when he and several school officials stood on the city wall and saw thousands of neatly armored soldiers outside the city standing before them, the shock was beyond words.

He had never seen such a passionate scene before, and his confidence suddenly increased.

"Yishi! It only took three days to build up my Kong family army into such a lineup. I really have a keen eye and I was right."

"You really have the talent of a great general!"

When Liu Zhongdi heard this, his mouth corners almost stretched to his ears.

"It's all thanks to Master Taishan's cultivation, hehe!"

Kong Yinzhi was very satisfied: "In this case, I will order you to be the commander of my Kong Family Army, how about it?"

Liu Zhongdi was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Master Taishan!"

Suddenly, he went from being a seventh-rank official to a third-rank commander.

This may be a bit excessive and may not be effective later, but at this moment he has military power.

"This is a reward for you. I have been picking it up for a long time. It's a real treasure." Kong Yinzhi said as he handed him the two walnuts in his hand.

Liu Zhongdi took it and took a look.

Isn't this the walnut that broke the day before yesterday...

Well, if you say it is a treasure, then it is a treasure.

"Thank you, Master Taishan, for the reward!"

Kong Zhenlai saw Kong Yinzhi inspecting the city from afar, so he hurried back to the city and climbed up the city wall.

"Master, you are here."

He pointed to the troops he had stationed outside the city, his face full of pride.

"Master, look at our Kong family army, it is now in great shape!"

He said this while patting his chest.

"If the enemy army dares to attack Qufu, I have the confidence to repel them!"

Kong Yinzhi was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder: "Well done, with you and Yishi, the commander, here, Qufu will have nothing to worry about!"

Kong Zhenlai was stunned when he heard this and looked at Liu Zhongdi.

"Commander...Commander???"

Liu Zhongdi raised the walnut in his hand and smiled at him.

"Well, I have been favored by you, Lord, and have just been appointed as the commander of the Kong Family Army."

"Brother Zhenlai, I will need your support in the future to fight against the rebels together!"

When Kong Zhenlai saw this, his head suddenly started buzzing.

Isn’t this the master’s favorite treasure?

How could it be in Liu Zhongdi's hands?

Isn’t it that Master values ​​me the most?

I should be the commander of the Kong family army!

How can we let this outsider be the boss!

He was in a trance until Kong Yinzhi and the other man left.

Standing on the city wall, bits of snow fell on his armor and slowly melted.

He just looked quietly at the military camp outside the city.

He and his soldiers spent a day and a night to build it.

Until now, he still cannot accept the fact that Liu Zhongdi is the commander-in-chief of the Kong family army.

He walked down the city wall in a daze.

I heard the voices of several soldiers talking.

"What a damn bad luck! I just accidentally stepped on someone else's vomit!"

"Who is it? Who is so disgusting that he vomited under the tower?"

"Keep your voice down! He's a professor at the academy."

"I heard that they drank till dawn at the Duke of Yansheng's mansion last night and came directly to the city to inspect. How can I not vomit..."

Before the soldier could finish his words, he was grabbed by the collar.

"What did you just say? Duke Yansheng's mansion was full of people drinking all night last night!"

Kong Zhenlai had been busy for a whole day and night and had not slept well, so his eyes were bloodshot, and his roar at this moment looked particularly ferocious.

Several soldiers were frightened.

"No... no..."

"Mr. County Magistrate, we are just talking nonsense."

Clang!

Kong Zhenlai drew his sword directly and put it against the soldier's neck.

"Tell me the truth!"

The soldier dared not hide it, and stammered:

"I am not sure, but I heard from others that after the fifth watch, there were still sounds of singing, dancing, and laughter coming from the Duke of Yansheng's mansion."

Kong Zhenlai felt unwell.

Thinking about myself eating pancakes yesterday, I was still wondering if the master was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep.

I am simply a joke.

"hahahahahahahaha!"

An inexplicable sadness surged in my heart and my laughter was mournful.

He left the soldiers behind and returned to his own tent.

He opened a jar of good wine, gulped it down, and passed out drunk.

I was drunk from morning until dark and haven't woken up yet.

The snow gradually subsided, but the wind did not stop.

The weather was cold, and the soldiers' tents were built around campfires.

The bonfire was guarded by soldiers on night duty so that they would not get cold while sleeping.

"Zhang San, your armor is really good!"

"Why does it look more impressive than mine?"

In front of the bonfire closest to the city gate, Yang Tiedan and two other people were sitting in front of the military tent, warming themselves by the fire.

The three of them signed up the earliest and received the money the fastest.

So he was also one of the first people to receive a full set of armor.

Not only armor, but also war horses.

They are only three of the 300 cavalrymen in the Kong family army.

"Hey! Ermazi, now that you mention it, I just realized it!"

Yang Tiedan couldn't help but touch Zhang San's armor.

Zhang San said proudly, "What do you know? This is a general's armor with patterns all over it! I am destined to be a great general in the future. Follow me and I will make sure you have a good life every day!"

Yang Tiedan couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the matter? You're really out of breath when someone praises you for being fat? Hahaha!"

"If it weren't for me, your buddy, asking you two to join the army, would you have gotten two taels of silver?"

He patted his armor and said, "And this outfit, if I sell it, it should be worth at least ten taels of silver."

Wang Ermaizi also echoed, "Yes, yes, yes. And there's also that war horse. This time we're really going to make a fortune, hahahaha!"

Zhang San looked at them with a hint of disdain.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at what you two are pursuing. Are you satisfied with just a dozen taels of silver and a horse?"

Yang Tiedan lowered his voice and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we still have to share the land with King Chuang!"

Zhang San asked again: "Are you satisfied with just that little bit of land?"

Yang Tiedan and the others were not happy to hear this: "Zhang San, you are still not satisfied after getting so much! People are never satisfied, don't you understand?"

Zhang San smiled and said, "People should always have something to pursue."

"Expand the scope! If we're going to do it, let's do it on a grand scale!"

Chapter 493 Prince = poor family?

Just as the Kong family was on high alert, three fast horses rushed into Yanzhou City.

"Reporting to the co-magistrate, the enemy army has passed Jining, with about 30,000 men. They will be at the gates of the city in half an hour at most!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing the news, Xu Jinqian immediately lost his composure.

Thirty thousand bandit troops...

He is not Geng Gong!

With such a huge disparity in military strength, how can we defend Yanzhou!

He rubbed his temples with both hands and paced back and forth in the hall.

After a while, he suddenly stopped, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed the scout and shouted an order.

"Quickly tell the four gates that I will go to ask King Lu for help!"

After saying this, he rushed out without caring about the scout's reaction.

Inside Prince Lu’s Palace.

The brocade clothes on Zhu Shouhong's body had long disappeared, replaced by a green coarse linen robe, without even the python pattern on it.

When he just came back from Taiyuan, he was depressed for several days.

But then, under the guidance of the princess, he changed his mind.

Although the trip to Taiyuan made him lose a lot, it cannot be said that he gained nothing.

Those two places for subordinate officials can only be regarded as compensation.

But the intention that future generations can engage in business is a real benefit!
