Nanming Engineer

Chapter 385 Fist is Big
Han Zhaoxuan was originally an official, and his words were full of official voice, sonorous and forceful, like a staircase, lifting Wang Huan high, three feet above the ground, with a halo for everyone to look up to.

But to Jiang Jianxun's ears, it was like a small leather whip lashing him hard, one whip made him shorter, and several whips in succession made him seven or eight points shorter.

There is no way not to be short, look at the white-armored army behind him who looks like heavenly soldiers and generals, and look at the group of crooked melons and split dates behind him, seven tall and eight short big-headed soldiers, there are five kinds of armor in ten people, Jiang Jianxun Had to hold back his breath.

Of course, if he can be convinced and trembling just by virtue of his bright armor, then he is not Jiang Jianxun. After a little hesitation, he returned to his normal expression, rode his horse forward neither humble nor overbearing, and said loudly to Wang Huan: "So it's Pinglianghou Here, Jiang Jianxun, the last general in Datong Town, was ordered by the Duke of Jin to gather the rebel army here to plan a strategy to attack Taiyuan, and it is a great honor to meet Pingliang Hou!"

Wang Huan was slightly taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Duke Jin?"

Seeing his surprise, Jiang Jianxun's vanity was very satisfied, and his self-esteem that had just been whipped by a small whip also calmed down a lot. With a hint of pride, he cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou probably doesn't know that the Ming Dynasty court praised Shanxi's military and civilian loyalty. A few days ago, Ma Mingtu, a middle-ranking official, was dispatched to Datong with the imperial edict and seal, and Jiang Guan, the commander-in-chief of Datong and the town commander, was canonized as the Duke of Jin to lead the Shanxi army and repel the Hu captives.”

Wang Huan frowned, nodded and said, "I see."

Jiang Jianxun looked up and looked around, his eyes were sharp, and wherever he looked, the eyes of the leaders of the rebel army wandered away. Except for the eager response from Monk Hou and others, the rest of them all looked sideways.

This group of guys who see the wind and the wind are about to be persuaded to join him just now, but they were interrupted by Wang Huan at a critical moment. Now that they see the majestic appearance of the Shaanxi soldiers, of course they don't take themselves seriously !

Jiang Jianxun gritted his teeth, the west and south of Shanxi, because they are close to Henan and Shaanxi, the land is barren, disasters are frequent, the people are poor, and the folk customs are tough. They have never been valued by the officials, and it is also the weak point of the Jiang family's power.

But now the north and east of Jin, which the Jiang family worked so hard to manage, have become places where wars are raging. The Qing court has gathered a lot of troops. Jiang Jianxun himself was defeated by the Qing soldiers from Xinzhou and retreated to Jinzhong. Now he is standing by his side. Most of the leaders of the rebel army are former officials of the Ming Dynasty who have no deep relationship with the Jiang family. It is very difficult to catch them. Today, they finally gathered together. Under the coercion and temptation, they are about to succeed, but the god Wang Huan came , Of course, Jiang Jianxun's teeth itch.

Confused, Jiang Jianxun cupped his hands at Wang Huan, and said solemnly: "Since Lord Hou has arrived, the discussions here have not yet come to fruition, why don't you ask Lord Hou to move to the city to discuss together, and act according to the strategy set by the Duke of Jin?" .”

This sentence is equivalent to making it clear that you, Wang Huanyuan, are a guest, so just listen to us. The war in Shanxi cannot be decided by you.

As soon as this remark came out, the people present were startled, but Wang Huan was calm and nothing could be seen on his face.Han Zhaoxuan and Yu Yin's expressions changed suddenly, and they shouted together: "Jiang Jianxun, what virtue and ability do you have, and ask Master Hou to do as you say?"

With a straight face, Jiang Jianxun said to the two of them coldly: "This is the Duke of Jin's Shanxi. Of course, we must follow his old man's strategy. You are also Jin officials and generals. Do you want to bend your elbows?"

Han Zhaoxuan pointed at him with awe-inspiring righteousness, and said angrily, "absurd! In the whole world, is it the land of the king? This Shanxi is the Shanxi of the Ming Dynasty, how can it belong to the Duke of Jin? Under the Duke of Jin!"

Jiang Jianxun's face was filled with frost. If Wang Huan's army had not been by his side, he would have slashed Han Zhaoxuan with his knife. At this moment, he had to suppress his anger and sneered: "So, did the decree say that the person in charge of Shanxi was Pingliang Hou? "

Han Zhaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Wang Huan. He hadn't seen any edicts, only the knives and cannons of the Kuizhou army, so of course he couldn't answer.

Under the eyes of everyone, Wang Huan did not change his face, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "This is not written, the imperial court does not have a supervisor in Shanxi, so there is no one to take care of it."

Han Zhaoxuan's eyes darkened, and he was a little bit taken aback, but Jiang Jianxun became excited, and his smile became colder. This Wang Huan seemed to be a fool, but he admitted that he was not stated in the decree as the person in charge of Shanxi. You must know that the decree did not People have seen it, so they can say whatever they want.

Before he could react, Wang Huan slowly said the following: "But it didn't say that the person in charge was Jiang Yu."

Jiang Jianxun was stunned for a moment, then he became furious, and said loudly: "Jiang Zongbing is the Duke of the state, Lord Marquis, you are just a marquis. When it comes to rank, of course the Duke of Jin is the most respected!"

Wang Huan glanced at him, without any sign of getting angry, and still said slowly: "The title only determines the order of duty in the court and the level of salary. There is no distinction between superiors and inferiors in the general soldiers of the hanging seal, just equal positions."

"Even if they have equal positions, there is no relationship of subordination between them. We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. As long as we are dedicated to the public good and unite sincerely, we can also achieve great things."

He looked at the many leaders of the rebel army who stood silently behind Jiang Jianxun, and said in a voiced voice: "As for everyone present, what to do, whether to go it alone or follow the officers and soldiers, you can decide for yourself. If you express your willingness to join Daming today, you will make contributions in the future, and you will be promoted to a higher position. I will not lose an inch of credit to you. After today, there will be no such way!"

Yu Yin is a military general with five big and three rough, and he is not good at speaking, so it was Han Zhaoxuan who was talking just now, and he couldn't get in the mouth. Now he seized the opportunity, and immediately echoed loudly: "Everyone, take Pingliang in an hour. Yicheng, broke through Pingyang Fucheng in two hours, this kind of strong army is exactly the demeanor of a Zhongxing general that I have never seen before in Ming Dynasty. I'll follow whoever you want! Everyone, please think carefully, don't miss Lord Hou's kindness, and you will regret it in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bald head jumped out from behind Jiang Jianxun, and scolded angrily, "Yu Manzi, you unrighteous person, what kind of shit are you doing? Is Zongbing Jiang's kindness back then fed to dogs?"

Yu Yin's eyes widened and he saw clearly that it was Monk Hou. He immediately yelled back and said, "Monk Hou, do you have the nerve to talk about loyalty? I was at odds with the Qing soldiers in Pingyang. You ignored me when I borrowed troops from you. Why? Are you talking about loyalty shamelessly? Come on, let’s practice here today!”

After saying that, he dismounted from his horse and strode towards Monk Hou. He wore a half body armor slantingly, his chest was exposed, and his muscles were intertwined and gleaming black. Jumping off the horse, he ran towards Yu Yin, and the two of them bumped into each other like two angry lions, punching and kicking.

No one tried to persuade them, and everyone's eyes fell on Wang Huan. Wang Huan glanced at Jiang Jianxun, ignored him, stood on top of the horse, looked down upon the heroes, and added indifferently: "Whoever is willing to follow me to fight the Tartars!" , Come here, I won’t go to the city anymore, let’s make an alliance with you here.”

Behind him, the brigade of the Kuizhou army has been lined up in a square formation, like solidified white clouds, standing silently under the banner of the hunting army, and the heads of more than a hundred Mongolians were thrown nearby, forming a hill .

Han Zhaoxuan was the first to walk behind Wang Huan naturally, and he still had a happy face, thinking that it was an honor for him to stand up first.

The rest of the people, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at the neatly arranged white-armored formation lined with swords and guns. They weighed the importance in their hearts, and those who knew and trusted each other gathered together and bit their ears.

Soon, the second person stood up, someone took the lead, and the rest of the people gathered around Wang Huan one after another. Some moved slowly behind, and even ran, lest they would be left behind.

When they passed by the livid-faced Jiang Jianxun, they didn't even look at him, letting his malicious eyes radiate sparks behind their backs.

Soon, almost all the leaders of the rebel army were on Wang Huan's side. It was inconvenient for them to harass Wang Huan, so they surrounded Han Zhaoxuan and asked quietly, while Han Zhaoxuan blushed and began to speak loudly What happened to Pingyang City.

The storytelling grammar used was exactly the same as what he heard from the soldier.

On Jiang Jianxun's side, there were only a few people left, all of whom were the few hardcore allies of the Jiang family in Jinzhong.

Aside from the two warriors who were still fighting, the camp outside the city was already clear. Wang Huan won the support of most of the leaders of the rebel army, and Jiang Jianxun was completely defeated.
