Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 452 Pencil Sharpener
The almost omnipotent General Yang turned out to be a landlubber, which was beyond everyone's expectation.His pretentious behavior brought retribution: if he hadn't acted too aggressively on the boat and jumped too happily on the trestle bridge, giving people the illusion that he knew the sea very well, there would be someone there as soon as he fell into the sea I went to save him, but now he was full of seawater, and those damned guys were still watching the fun on the boat with a smile on his face. He didn't realize that something was wrong until he was about to die, so he hurried to save people.By the time the sailors fished him out of the boat, he was as full as a toad, his belly was so bulging that he could hardly breathe.Zaji Chongweng was extremely angry, rushed to the trestle bridge and picked up the leader of the Dongjiang army who had been dumbfounded, and roared: "You all built a fucking broken bridge! Almost killed our general, do you know that? !?"

The boss was very depressed.The arrival of reinforcements is a great thing for Lushun. Although there are only four troop carriers and a few hundred people, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. It is better than nothing. Huanglong specially arranged him to come to receive the reinforcements in his busy schedule They even took out a lot of good things from the insufficient supplies and cooked some good dishes for the reinforcements. Everyone was very happy... I didn't expect such a big oolong to happen when we met!He said aggrievedly: "General, you can't blame us. This trestle bridge was only built in the past few months. Due to the lack of wood, we had to demolish the house to get wood to make up for it. Maybe the little general stepped on just now. A plank that has been eaten away by moths."

Shi Tianbao was furious: "Your mother, do you have no money to build a trestle bridge?"

The leader said in a low voice: "We used to be good enough to have food. How can we have the money to build trestle bridges? It means that the supply of materials has been sufficient in the past few months. These two bridges were built to facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo by sea ships..."

This is the truth, Dongjiang Town is notoriously poor, how poor is it?So poor that even a thief who sneaked into their arsenal would come out in tears.The Denglai new army has never visited the military camp in Dongjiang Town, but everyone has seen those Liao people who moved to Denglai. The clothes are really worse than beggars. It is strange that they have money to build trestle bridges.In the past few months, the money has been a little more generous, and the facilities of the seaport have been improved. In the end, such a tofu project was created, which almost killed the champion of the Ming Dynasty!
The red lady saw that Yang Menglong's face was turning blue, and she breathed out more than breathed in, so she cried out very worriedly: "Stop arguing, save people quickly! You generals can't breathe anymore!"

Yang Menglong's current situation is indeed quite miserable. His stomach is bulging and his breathing is weak. He is dying and may die at any time.If the champion of the Ming Dynasty, Hou Jin and Eight Banners, suffered so much, and even Huang Taiji was afraid of three points, if he was drowned because the trestle bridge built by his own people was not good enough, it would definitely be the biggest cold joke in the seventeenth century!A group of tall and burly soldiers surrounded him and chattered about how to save him. Some said he should press his chest, some said he should turn him over and put something on his abdomen to make him spit out the water, some said he should give artificial respiration— ——In the end, this proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and everyone's eyes fell on Hong Niangzi, obviously intending to entrust this important task to her.They are all tall and burly men who pick their feet, they can't do this kind of work, and Hong Niangzi is a beautiful woman, just right——You often bully our general, you should give some compensation, right?The red lady made Da Kong feel at a loss, and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

The soldiers said: "Also ask the girl to save our general!"

The red lady stomped her feet and said, "I want to save, but the question is how!"

The soldiers said, "mouth to mouth..."

The red lady's face suddenly turned red to her neck, which was even redder than her clothes. She instinctively wanted to say "I won't do it", but seeing Yang Menglong's pitiful look, she couldn't help herself and asked calmly: "This... ...How can this work? Is there any other way?"

Xu Meng stretched out his hand, pushed aside a few stupid men like flies, and said, "I have a solution, see me!" Grabbing Yang Menglong's legs and lifting him upside down, facing the With the lower leg pointing up, he shook vigorously, dangling back and forth.Yang Menglong's more than 100 catties in his hands are almost like an empty sack, but he is like a miser trying to shake out a few steel collapses from the empty sack.Of course, this sack was not empty. As he shook violently, gusts of sea water spurted out from Yang Menglong's mouth and nose, forming a large pool on the deck. Everyone was stunned to see a small shrimp Jumped out of his throat, jumping around in that puddle of sea water... After pouring out all the water in Yang Menglong's stomach with a single shake, Xu Meng shook twice to make sure he had finished vomiting, and then he sent Yang Menglong to the deck He threw it away, clapped his hands, and proudly said to the subordinates: "This is not the end of the matter? Everyone learn a little bit, don't just give artificial respiration every now and then, it's disgusting!"

The hoplites looked at their boss with a look of conviction, admiring him infinitely...

Yang Menglong coughed for a while, and finally came back to his senses.Everyone shouted in surprise: "Wake up, wake up!" They gathered around and asked how the general was doing, and why the general was not feeling well, that's called concern!But Yang Menglong didn't appreciate it, he kicked Zaji Chongweng seven or eight steps away with his left foot, and kicked Shi Tianbao with his right foot, he stared at Xu Meng and roared like a lion: "Xu Meng!! !"

Xu Meng was startled, oh my god, he yelled earth-shatteringly just after waking up, the general's vitality is so full!He hurried forward: "The end is here!"

Yang Menglong jumped up, tiptoed and pointed at his nose and shouted angrily: "I deducted your military salary?"

Xu Meng was puzzled: "No."

Yang Menglong pressed a step further: "I robbed you of a woman?"

Xu Meng took a step back in fright: "No!" He didn't think that Yang Menglong liked his two women who were from bandit wives.

Yang Menglong took another step closer: "Did I throw your child into the well?"

Xu Meng: "...My lord, I don't have a child yet!"

Yang Menglong roared: "Then why do you want to kill me so hard? Did you fancy my position and have thought about being the chief soldier, ah!?"

Xu Meng turned pale with fright, and cried out in a crying voice: "General, I am saving you! You can't breathe just now, I have to get the water out of your stomach!"

Yang Menglong roared louder: "Then you can't lift me upside down, can you? What do you think I am, a sack? Didn't I teach you how to rescue drowning people? Artificial respiration and chest compressions are not enough. It has to be like this." , I think you just want to kill me! Don’t take the military salary for half a year!" Staring at the group of hoplites, "You too!"

The soldiers said with a sad face: "Don't, my lord... We haven't forgotten all this. We wanted to ask the red lady to give you artificial respiration, but Mr. Xu said no, we can just have him..."

Yang Menglong scratched his head: "Red lady?" Glancing at the red lady, he glared at Xu Meng even more furiously: "You don't even want to get the military salary this year!" Angrily, he jumped onto the trestle bridge and strode toward the pier... This time I dare not jump up and down.Zhaji shouted at Weng and Shi Tianbao in unison: "My lord, be careful!" He hurriedly chased after him, fearing that this unreliable guy would do it again.Everyone tried their best to hold back their smiles, packed their luggage, and boarded the trestle one after another. They were tired of staying on the boat, but they still stayed on land.

Xu Meng still stayed there and kept scratching his head: "First he said that he would deduct half a year's military salary, and then he said that I would never get my military salary this year...but it's already the middle of June, and half a year's military salary and this year's salary will be deducted. Is there any difference in military pay?"

The red lady rolled her eyes: "There is no difference!" She boarded the trestle with Li Yan, leaving Xu Meng on the boat to add and subtract.Well, for him, this math problem is a bit complicated, so he has to do the math.

The commotion caused by Yang Menglong falling into the water just now was not small, half of the people in Lushun knew about it, many soldiers gathered on the pier, seeing him walking down the trestle bridge like a drowned chicken, they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh The way they looked, their shoulders kept shrugging, the corners of their mouths twitched non-stop, and they accidentally thought they had a collective stroke.Yang Menglong was helpless: "Laugh if you want to, isn't it uncomfortable to hold back like this?"

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Before the words were finished, loud laughter erupted from the pier and on the city wall. The soldiers held their stomachs and laughed so hard that they had no shape. The general soldier who was almost drowned in the sea was really unheard of, and the one who made a joke was Daming's rising and most dazzling general star. This incident was enough for them to talk about for a lifetime.Yang Menglong made them blush from laughing... shame... shameless...

After a long time, the laughter subsided a little, and a general in mountain armor separated from the crowd and walked over.This general is tall and thin, with a stern expression, every pore reveals the unique hardness and strength of a soldier, he looks very serious, serious and unsmiling, which moved Yang Menglong, and finally found someone who didn't laugh at him.But then he noticed the tears remaining in the corners of the man's eyes, and he immediately despaired of this cruel world.

The general came to him, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted: "Li Weiluan, the last general, please see the commander-in-chief!"

Yang Menglong clasped his fists in return: "Heluo Town and Denglai Town Commander-in-Chief, Yang Menglong, General Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Weiluan said: "Mr. Yang is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery. When the tens of thousands of Jiannu troops besieged Lushun, he led his elite troops across the sea to help. Dongjiang town is grateful! Mr. Huang asked the last general to come to greet him, for fear of neglecting Mr. Yang... "

Yang Menglong snorted: "Then you saw me fall from the trestle bridge and become a big toad, laughing until tears came out, right?"

Li Weiluan was embarrassed and funny: "Uh..."

Yang Menglong said very seriously: "This is the number one secret in the army, and it must not be leaked out, understand?"

The corners of Li Weiluan's mouth and eyes kept twitching: "The last general obeys orders!"

Yang Menglong said viciously: "Just looking at your expression, you can tell that you are not sincere! Let me tell you, if you dare to leak today's events, I will turn you into a pencil sharpener!" Staring at the large number of Dongjiang Township The soldier shouted angrily: "If you dare to tell what happened today, I will turn all of you into pencil sharpeners!"

The smiles on everyone's faces grew stronger and stronger, Li Weiluan managed to hold back, and said: "The last general dare not! General Yang sent elite troops across the sea to help, that is the number one secret, anyone who dares to reveal a word will be punished as treason!" All the soldiers shouted loudly: "Have you heard clearly?"

Everyone looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh: "Listen clearly!"

Yang Menglong snorted: "It doesn't matter if you hear clearly, the most important thing is to think clearly!"

Li Weiluan said repeatedly: "It's clear, it's clear, it couldn't be clearer!" He took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "It's just that the general doesn't understand what this pencil sharpener really means..."

Yang Menglong smiled sinisterly: "I just want you to be stabbed every day. The thick one goes in and the thin one comes out, and the flat one goes in and the sharp one comes out!"

Li Weiluan's chrysanthemum tightened, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he murmured: "It's too cruel, this is too cruel..."
