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

Chapter 859 Trust
Yang Sichang smiled so ugly because he never dreamed that Yang Menglong would come back from Taiwan alive.My God, what material is this guy made of? He was shot in the abdomen and his intestines flowed out. If it were someone else, he might have lost ten lives, but he survived, and he was full of dust all the way. Back to Wuhan!
Although Yang Menglong is very weak now, the sharp aura on his body still makes Yang Sichang feel cold all over.Fu Zonglong has always maintained a good relationship with the Heluo New Army, and he has worked under Fu Zonglong for a long time. He also knows Yang Menglong and the combat effectiveness of the Heluo New Army. He knows very well that there is no Heluo who can defeat Yang Menglong himself Luo Xinjun, no one wants to confront Yang Menglong head-on!This is why the Ministry of War kept urging the Heluo New Army to send troops with a black face. Without Yang Menglong, the Heluo New Army's morale fluctuated and their combat power was greatly reduced. It was easy to deal with them, but when Yang Menglong came back, things would be difficult. !He barely suppressed the panic in his heart, and cupped his hands to Yang Menglong: "Master Hou is willing to send troops, that would be the best! This personal conquest by the emperor is related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. The whole army is eager for Lord Hou to send troops, like a severe drought. Look forward to Yunni!"

Yang Menglong said sharply: "Why do I feel that you don't want to see me leading troops to participate in this war?"

Yang Sichang smiled even harder: "How could it be? My officer..."

Yang Menglong waved his hand and interrupted him: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, your mission has been completed, you can go down and rest!"

This was the first time that Yang Sichang was treated so rudely and rudely... How respected was his status in the capital. Even Emperor Chongzhen treated him kindly, but Yang Menglong dared to shout at him!He wanted to have an attack on the spot, but when he saw that Yang Menglong was filled with murderous intent and unable to do so, he secretly gritted his teeth and said: "No need, since the Marquis has agreed to send troops, I will not stay here. The military situation on the front line is like a fire. I The official has to return to the capital to take charge of the overall situation, so take your leave!"

Yang Menglong said solemnly: "Did I let you go? Come here, Master Shangshu is sick, take him down and take care of him!"

Immediately, two guards stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding Yang Sichang and dragging him out.Yang Sichang was shocked, struggled with all his might, and yelled, "Yang, are you trying to murder the imperial court official? You are so brave! Let me go, let me go!" The two guards were quarreled by him. Annoyed, he punched him in the lower abdomen, and Yang Sichang immediately turned into a big shrimp. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't make a sound anymore.

Yang Menglong looked at Yang Sichang's entourage and said, "You guys are the same, go down and have a good rest."

Those followers and counselors were all terrified, and they struggled to move out under the malicious eyes of the guards.When they walked to the door, a fifth-rank official turned around suddenly, pointed at Yang Menglong's nose and cursed: "Your surname is Yang, you detained the imperial court official without authorization, what is your intention? You are going to rebel! I have seen it for a long time. , you will rebel sooner or later, because you were born with the bones of a rebel!"

Zhaji scolded Weng angrily: "It's so noisy!" He slapped the guy and slapped him around in a circle, then grabbed him by the collar, picked him up, and threw him out like trash. It is the roots of the ears that are clean.

After Yang Sichang was taken down, Yang Menglong's body suddenly shook a few times, his complexion turned from pale to sallow, and cold sweat rolled down from his forehead.Fang Yi's heart tightened, he quickly helped him sit down, and asked in a low voice: "Is the injury still not healed?"

Yang Menglong smiled wryly: "Getting shot at close range, how can it be so easy and thorough? Pour me a cup of tea."

Fang Yizhi poured him a cup of tea, and he drank it in one gulp, but it seemed that it was not enough, so Fang Yizhi poured him another cup.If the governor of a province treats military generals like this in other places, he is afraid that he will be laughed out of his teeth and scolded to pieces, but not here. Fang Yizhi did it naturally, because he is Yang Menglong's half-father-in-law, and at the same time he is irreversible. They are good friends first, and then superiors and subordinates.

When Yang Menglong's complexion improved slightly, all the civil servants in Huguang and Heluo stood up, worried and asked in unison: "Master Marquis, are you really going to send troops?"

Yang Menglong said: "We must send troops, and the main force must be sent out."

Fang Kongzheng frowned and said: "This thing is weird in every aspect, we'd better wait and see how it turns out!"

Yang Menglong said: "If we continue to wait and see what happens, this country will be doomed! I have made up my mind and you should stop talking. Mr. Qi, how is the situation in the army now?"

Qi Hu stroked his beard and said: "General Zhong led 1000 troops to guard Fujian, the commander of the Han Army led 4000 troops to guard Guangdong, and left another 600 people to guard Wusongkou. There are more than 6000 people who cannot be mobilized."

Yang Menglong asked: "Where is the Third Army? How is it going?"

Qi Hu said: "The soldiers of the Third Army mainly come from the Miao and Han youths in the mountainous areas of western Hunan. They were only recruited in June this year. They have already received training for half a year, and the personnel and equipment are complete."

Yang Menglong asked: "Can you fight?"

Qi Hu was categorical: "The young people there are born excellent soldiers. After training for half a year, they can fight!"

Yang Menglong clapped his hands and said, "Okay! That's great!" Turning his head to Kong Xing, he said, "Old Fang, please do your best and go to Guangzhou to take over the head of Han Jun. I will leave you two thousand of his 4000 troops, plus Some Guangdong militiamen, do you have the confidence to defend Guangdong?"

Fang Kongxuan said calmly: "Although the official is a literati, he also has a little knowledge of the military. Now that the Zheng family has surrendered, all the captives in the west have been wiped out, and the New Deal of the Marquis is extremely manned. There are two thousand elite soldiers in hand. Live in Guangdong, the next official will jump into the sea by himself!"

Yang Menglong said: "Okay, you go right away!"

Fang Kongxuan bowed his hands and went down.Yang Menglong acted swiftly and resolutely, as his subordinate, he naturally couldn't be sloppy in doing things, otherwise he would have to be pumped to death, so he set off immediately without saying a word.

Yang Menglong said to Qi Hu again: "Mr. Qi, please go to Fuzhou to replace Zhong Ning. He can only charge forward, so he may not be able to handle such a complicated situation."

Qi Hu knew about his own affairs, and his health had deteriorated in the past few years, and he couldn't bear the hardships of a thousand-mile expedition. In addition, Li Yan, a resourceful genius, was serving as Yang Menglong's staff. Replacing Zhong Ning back will give Yang Menglong another general who can destroy the city.He cupped his hands: "I'm leaving now!"

Yang Menglong nodded and looked at Xue Siming and Yan Yingyuan.

Xue Siming stood up, raised his hands and said: "The First Army and the Second Army are always ready!"

Yan Yingyuan also stood up: "The Third Army is waiting for military orders!"

Yang Menglong said: "Okay, within a week, all three legions will be dispatched. I want the whole world to know that as long as our new army is still there, the Han family will not perish! In front of them, how ridiculous are their fancy intestines!"

All the generals were excited and shouted in unison: "Obey!" Then they bowed their hands and strode out, and the terrifying war machine of the Heluo New Army immediately started to rotate at full speed.

Yang Menglong said again to Fang Yizhi's group of civil servants: "The local affairs of Huguang and Heluo have been hard on you!"

Fang Yizhi smiled: "We've been used to it for a long time, haven't we? By the way, do you want to announce the news of your return? During this period of time, tens of thousands of people in Huguang have been frightened, and the market has been depressed a lot."

Yang Menglong said: "Temporarily keeping it secret, I want to give those bastards a big surprise! I'll go back to Nanyang immediately, announce the decision to send troops, and ask for the support of all the managers, especially the support of the Huguang and Heluo consortia. Those bastards Dan is determined to trick us, we can only rely on them, without their support, this battle cannot be won!"

Fang Yizhi said: "I'm going to prepare now. In fact, as early as when the Holy Majesty was preparing for the Royal Conquest, the governors of the provinces had already gathered in Wuhan to discuss whether to send troops, but we have been suppressed by us. Everyone is worried about state affairs. It's not hard to get their support."

Yang Menglong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll be relieved." He bowed his hands to everyone present and said loudly, "Everyone, please!"

All the civil servants stood up together and bowed deeply: "Master Hou, the tragedy of Tumu Fort must not be allowed to repeat itself! Please!"

After a short stay in Wuhan, after arranging everything, Yang Menglong boarded the boat again and headed for Nanyang.The continuous exhaustion of boats and cars made his body very unbearable, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.He can only go forward, not look back, behind is the abyss!
The urban area of ​​Nanyang has expanded a lot. Looking around, it is full of concrete floors and three or four-story buildings with tiles. I accidentally thought it was back to modern times.This year's crops of potatoes, sunflower seeds, cotton and flax are bumper, and the factories are extremely busy. The oil mill has been busy since July, and the sunflower seeds in the warehouse are still piled up, not to mention the starch factory. Potatoes are pulled out by carts, peeled and crushed, and made into starch. The starch made every day is piled up into hills, but the potatoes in the warehouse are a mountain range, and there is still work to be done.Those girls are also very busy. Hundreds of them are working hard in the factories, weaving cloth, making clothes, and the voices of people in various industrial areas can make people die.There are also cement factories, fertilizer factories, steel factories, salt factories...all factories are very busy, and the city has no time to stop.Yang Menglong was not in the mood to appreciate the bustling scene now, so he went straight to the Hou Mansion.

In the Hou Mansion, Xiao Yufang was feeding the porridge to the child, when she saw him come back, her hands trembled, and the porridge almost fell down.Cheng Qi, who came over with a bowl of soup, simply screamed, and the bowl of soup fell to pieces, and then she hugged her toes and grinned, quite embarrassed.

With tears in her eyes, Xiao Yufang put down the porridge and walked over, touched his face and asked softly: "You're back?"

Yang Menglong's throat was blocked: "I'm back."

Xiao Yufang looked at the mud on his trousers, her expression darkened: "Are you going to fight again?"

Yang Menglong said: "I can't go, because some people just won't let me stop."

Cheng Qi screamed: "You still have to go to war! Sister, get out of the way and let me break his legs, so that he can't go around looking for wars and fight, and we don't have to worry about it day and night!"

Xiao Yufang reprimanded gently: "Childishness, this is a man's career, as long as he thinks it's right, we can only support it and not make trouble!" Asking Yang Menglong: "When are we going to leave?"

Yang Menglong originally planned to leave after seeing them and their children, but now he couldn't move his legs and said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow."

Xiao Yufang said: "Fortunately, our family still has time to get together and have a good meal... We haven't eaten together for more than half a year."

Yang Menglong looked around, but did not see Liu Ziyan: "Where is Ziyan? Where has she gone?"

Xiao Yufang said: "Go to church to pray for you. Since you were injured, she has been going to church to pray for you every day, and she has lost ten catties. I will send someone to call her back, you When she comes back, she won't have to suffer this much."

Cheng Qi lamented: "Then our whole family will go to church with her and pray for you, a friend who has never been worry-free."

Xiao Yufang pursed her lips and smiled, and went down to make arrangements.

That night, the Yang Mansion was unusually lively. The three wives cooked together, and the food they cooked was enough to feed an army.It's a pity that Yang Menglong's health is very poor now, and he can't eat up all the food like before, but he still eats as much as possible.His emaciated body made the three women feel sorry for each other, wishing they could take that shot for him.

After dinner, the family sat in front of the cradle and played with the two children.Yang Menglong picked up Yang Xiaojun carefully, and said with a smile: "Good boy, he became a general of hussars when he was only one year old. I don't know how many vicious battles your father fought and how many times he climbed out of the dead before he became a general." As for the general, it’s true that different people have different fates!”

Xiao Yufang said: "After you were assassinated, the Chinese officials in the court and Qingliu in the wild attacked you like crazy, fabricated facts to discredit you, and wished to kill our whole family. Fortunately, the emperor was unmoved and ordered Xiaojun to be a huss Riding a great general, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been called back, this kind of trust is really rare."

Yang Menglong was startled: "His Royal Highness is still in Nanyang?"

Xiao Yufang said: "I've been in Nanyang all this time, but I've been terrified during this time. I think you should visit him later and comfort him."

Yang Menglong was silent.

Chongzhen remained unmoved when his life and death were uncertain, and the officials attacked and slandered him like crazy. He named his son a Hushi general, and still left the prince to study in Nanyang. There is nothing to say about his trust in him. , I am afraid that few kings can trust a courtier so unconditionally.

But, Big Boss, why did you become so stupid all of a sudden and want to go to the imperial conquest? Don't you know how many people are looking forward to your death day and night! ?
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
