Come to Daming with military supplies

Ignoring whether anyone was willing to listen, Shebie sang spontaneously. The song was Suzhou Tanping. Although it was said that there was no instrumental support, even the a cappella had a special charm.After Yang Chendong heard it, he probably confirmed the identity of Shebie.

He had heard Suqu before, and Lady Xue and Lady Xiang had played in front of him quite a few times before.Although Shebie is affected by the condition of the voice, he has already sung the charm of it, which is very difficult.Think about it, if you hadn't really heard it, or even heard it, how could a Tatar cavalry learn such useless things?

And if you look carefully at Shebie's face, you can also find that he is somewhat different from the Mongolians. For example, his skin color and facial expression are similar to the appearance of many Han people.Not to mention, Daming and Meng have been fighting for so many years, you have me, and I have you.

There is no longer any doubt about the fact that his mother is a Han Chinese, so Yang Chendong nodded lightly, "Okay, let's not think about your origin. General Su He said that you have extraordinary abilities, how can you prove it?"

"Hehe." Shebie smiled softly, "Teacher Su He loves you. In fact, the young one is just a prisoner. He doesn't have any abilities. It's just that he has a different view on some current situations than other people."

The previous words were just polite words, and the latter opinion was the most important thing, which naturally aroused Yang Chendong's curiosity. "How about the situation, let's hear it?"

"Yes." After Shebie solemnly agreed, he said, "I was lucky enough to meet the head of Su He during the day, so I first talked about the mercenary. From the point of view of the general, the development and growth of the mercenary is The inevitable trend, even unstoppable." "The reason." Yang Chendong asked in a very concise language.

"There is only one reason. Mr. Zhongdan really cares for the common people, and that's enough." With a confident look on his face, even if he looked carefully, there was a sense of heroism, and the voice of saying goodbye was getting louder and louder. "Looking at the entire grassland, and even the world, there are countless people who claim to be common people and seek profit, but how many people can do it?"

"On the grassland, there are constant conquests among the tribes. Today you beat me, tomorrow I beat him, and the day after tomorrow he beats you. It's all about resource disputes, just for the amount of gold and silver. Who has ever been sincere? Who has thought about the people, and who has seriously considered that what the people really need is peace?"

"I'm looking at the Ming court. It seems that the territory is tens of thousands of miles, the population is large, and the land is rich. But how many people can have enough food and clothing? Is it really satisfied? Especially in recent years, after the Ming Dynasty was divided into north and south, what those in power think is How to unify the world, leave a name in history. They build a new army, and they are military. In order to achieve these goals, they can only compete with the common people, snatch gold, silver and even rations from the common people. People's hearts, even if one day they can rule the world, it is only a temporary glory. They don't know that the people are the foundation of a country. Only when they live a good life and their hearts sink, the world will be stable. Among them, more people have long forgotten that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.”

Talking with eloquence, the farewell at this time is more like an old master who is in the world, and many things he said are well-founded, even Humang and Yang Er who are standing on both sides of him will nod from time to time applauded.

Not to mention Yang Chendong who is sitting at the top.This is also the first general he has come into contact with who puts people's hearts first.

I have also talked about people's hearts before. For example, Yu Qian is such a person. He cares about the lives of the people and cares about their thoughts. Therefore, this person became the lord of Chixian City.Facts also proved that this person did things very well and solved Yang Chendong's worries.And now there is another one. It is conceivable that once Yang Chendong recognizes this person's ability, he will be entrusted with important tasks as well.

"That's right." At some point, Shebie had stopped his long-winded speech, and his whole person's aura changed, and he became like a criminal again, kneeling there, bowing his head, with an unrestrained expression. look.But Yang Chendong's voice sounded immediately.

He finally understood why Su He would rather bury Amu Gulang than the benefits he had given him. It seemed that he also saw that Shebie was a talent.

"Well, farewell, you do have different insights than others, that's it, would you like to join the mercenary army?" Yang Chendong said with a serious expression.In ancient times, the people were not so important. Although many people often said it, the facts have proved that there are very few people who really do it.

"The sin will be willing. But the sin will still have something to ask." She bid farewell to his heart at this moment, he knew that his views should be consistent with Yang Chendong, so at this moment he took the opportunity to make a request.

Ordinarily, he should be called a criminal general, so there should be no conditions.But obviously Yang Chendong is also in a good mood this time, and Su He fought the front battle before, Yang Chendong was not angry at the moment, but instead he laughed, "Send the order to restrain Amugulang's body so that it can be buried safely, and let Baqian be captured." Soldiers plus the people in the city to watch the ceremony. Considering that they have been suffering from long-term malnutrition, they should not be conscripted as soldiers, but let them return to the logistics regiment in Shicheng, and join the construction team first, and work while maintaining their health. After the strength, when considering the matter of joining the army, this matter will be handed over to Commander Hu."

"Yes." Humang quickly bowed his head in response.

"Thank you for being loyal and courageous. I have nothing to ask for. I am willing to join the mercenary army. I will never regret it." Before he could open his mouth, Yang Chendong had already met all his conditions, and immediately he kowtowed to the ground again, showing himself Determination.

"Hahaha." Yang Chendong laughed out loud immediately, and it was obvious that he was really happy this moment.

Dalu City was breached, so there was no distance between Yang Chendong and Beiming, and the situation seemed to become more complicated at this moment as he saw that he would be able to reach the Xuanfu avenue.

Xuanfu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the northern gate of the capital of the Northern Ming Dynasty.Once you enter here, you can enter Huailai through the civil fort, and you will be the capital after passing Juyongguan.Naturally, Beiming also made great efforts here, and arranged heavy troops, and the command center of the Wanquandu Division was in the Xuanfu.

Wanquan Dusi was the same as Nuer Gandu Si in terms of administrative level, and the commander Shi Wanshan was a second-rank military officer of the imperial court. Not only that, he was also a scholar who was good at fighting and making decisions.

This has to do with Shi Wanshan's background.His father was a scholar. Due to the pressure of life, he opened a school with the support of some wealthy gentry in the village. He taught only some children in the village, but he was really good and knew a lot. What things passed through him Speaking out of the mouth can always be understood and accepted quickly.It was in such an environment that Shi Wanshan grew up little by little, and he understood a lot of truths since he was a child.

Originally, he also wanted to be like his own father, relying on what he had learned to obtain fame and contribute to Daming.In fact, he inherited his father's mantle when he was a teenager, and passed the examination as a scholar. Seeing that he had a bright future, but at this time, a sudden incident changed the trajectory of his life.In the second year after he was admitted as a scholar, a group of passing bandits suddenly attacked the village and killed many people. At that time, his father and family members were killed by the bandits. It was taken away as a labor force, and eventually went up the mountain and became a coolie in the bandit's den.

There were dozens of young people who were plundered up the mountain together. In such an environment, they were terrified, but only Shi Wanshan himself was not afraid of power, and stood up to accuse the bandits of all kinds of wrongdoings, and even raised all kinds of complaints. Resolution suggestions.

If you want to reason with bandits, then negotiating with Hades is no different.But the great thing is that he can still come up with some solutions to the problem. The bandits followed his suggestion and soon found that things became much simpler.In this way, Shi Wanshan probably never imagined that he would gain the attention of the bandits, how to defend the mountain, how to develop in the future, and other major plans finally fell into his hands.

7 Chapter Eighty

It turns out that gold shines everywhere.Shi Wanshan suppressed the hatred in his heart, and began to help the bandits expand their power wholeheartedly. At the same time, he also learned to blend in and learn some of the advantages of these people.Slowly, he practiced martial arts with the bandits. After working hard, he developed a good skill. Then he used his knowledge to lead the bandits to wipe out and flatten some nearby bandits one by one. It took more than ten years to develop himself to a very powerful level, and he himself has a high reputation in the bandit den.

It was at this time that Shi Wanshan stopped suppressing himself, and the seeds of hatred for many years finally burst out. He brought some cronies to kill the leader of the bandit den, that is, those villains who killed his family and fellow villagers at that time, and then he took the leader The senior went down the mountain, took the initiative to plead guilty to the nearby yamen, and told his life experience and what he had to do for revenge these years.

The bandits, who caused headaches for the local government, were taken away in such a way that even their old nests were taken away. The official at that time accepted a lot of benefits such as gold and silver from Shi Wanshan, and reported the matter to the then Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qi. Under the great joy of Long Yan, Shi Wanshan transformed from a bandit to an official, and then developed step by step in the army.In the end, he just relied on the gold and silver accumulated when he was a bandit to open the way, coupled with his good ability, he rose step by step.

As soon as the Tumu Fort incident happened, Shi Wanshan keenly seized this opportunity, not only strongly supported Daizong Zhu Qiyu in action, but also used gold and silver to clear the way and finally contacted the eunuch Jin Ying, expressing his admiration.In the end, step by step, he became the commander of Wandu Division, a dignified second-rank military officer.

Shi Wanshan's family history is a bit bizarre and complicated, but he is capable of writing and martial arts, and he is generous in shooting, so he quickly gained a foothold. Little fame.After all, he was born as a scholar, and his father was also a scholar. From a certain point of view, he can be regarded as a descendant of a scholarly family. He has endured for many years for revenge, which is in line with Confucianism. Such a person is more vulnerable than other martial arts generals. The trust of civil servants.

It was precisely because of Shi Wanshan's strong means that during his more than a year in office as the governor of Wanquan, Mongolian cavalry were rarely found in the surrounding areas of the Xuanfu where he guarded.The only time when Amu Wangulang led troops to attack, he easily beat him back, which established his reputation.

At only 35 years old, Shi Wanshan is naturally overjoyed to achieve such brilliant achievements. He always smiles on his face, and is called amiable by his subordinates.But in the past few days, the smile on his face has obviously decreased a lot, and it has been replaced by a kind of worry.

The news that Dalu City had been conquered had already spread.This means that what he will face next will not be Tatar cavalry, but a very troublesome mercenary army.

Of course, Shi Wanshan had heard about the mercenaries.It was precisely because of the emergence of this army that the Beiming regime was saved from the immediate fall, and it regained its vitality.Although Shi Wanshan did not participate in the battle to defend the capital, he still understood the matter clearly from many people. Regarding the firearms used by the mercenaries and the extremely strong military quality of the mercenary soldiers, he has always been It is very promising, but also a little scary.

The mercenaries have been tossing around Nanming before, and it is said that they have recovered two small countries.Although Shi Wanshan was also concerned about these matters, he didn't feel any pressure because the distance was too far.But now, the mercenaries were right in front of him, so he couldn't avoid them without thinking about them.

In the mansion of the commander of the capital in Xuanfu City, Shi Wanshan sent two assistants, both commanding Tongzhi Furuhe (from the second-rank general) and the capital commander Ning Wenfeng (the third-rank general), and the three of them stood side by side. In the hall, they drink and sit together.

With Shi Wanshan's method, it didn't take long for the two assistants to surrender to him, and they obeyed his words. Therefore, when the three of them got together, they didn't care about etiquette. This is why they met in the side hall instead of The reason for the gathering in the main hall.

"You all know the situation, let's talk about your own opinions." Stretching out the fingers of his right hand and tapping the jade tabletop lightly, Shi Wanshan's eyes flicked across the faces of Lu Guhe and Ning Wenfeng respectively.

"What else? After all, Lord Zhongdan was conferred by the emperor. If they took down Dalu City, it is equivalent to helping us take down Dalu City. Send someone there to take over the management of the city." The conductor, Tongzhi Furukawa, spoke very casually in a loud voice.

"No." After his words fell, Ning Wenfeng, the conductor at the side, immediately waved his hand.

As the name suggests, Ning Wenfeng is not like an ordinary military general, but has an elegant face of a literati. Even without knowing his position, few people associate him with a general. In fact, he Immediate effort is very good.

This is also a man capable of writing and martial arts. In order to subdue this person for his own use, Shi Wanshan spent a lot of effort, at least more than when he was reported to Furukawa.

It is precisely because of the great effort that it is enough to prove the strength of this person.Now when he heard that he said no, Shi Wanshan raised his brows slightly, and a smile of appreciation flashed in his eyes, obviously he already knew what the other party meant.

Furukawa, on the other hand, asked with a carefree look, "No? Why not? Could it be said that Mr. Zhongdan dared to disobey the imperial court's will? He is powerful, and dare to confront us clearly?"

A clear confrontation has proved that Furukawa has seen through the mystery, and he is not a fool.Thinking about it, if he was a fool, how could he become a military officer of the second rank, and how could he let Shi Wanshan spend his energy to subdue him?

"Hehe." Faced with Gu He's question, Ning Wenfeng grinned.Knowing the opponent's temperament well, he knew that he was not targeting himself, but discussing the matter as it stands, so he continued: "The geographical location of Dalu City is very important, just like our Xuanfu, it can be regarded as a place where Mongolian cavalry entered. One of my portals in Beiming. With them here, we only need to keep an eye on the movement to stabilize the overall situation. This is the main reason why we have not attacked Dalu City for so long. Otherwise, a city with only ten thousand people defending It’s just a small city, don’t you think it’s such a hard nut to crack?” When Ning Wenfeng said this, his face was full of arrogance, and it could be seen that he was also a conceited person.I didn't move to Dalu City before, because I considered the importance of the opponent's position. Once I got through there, I would face more attacks and harassment from the Mongolian cavalry. It was not worth it no matter how I looked at it.Instead of taking down a useless city, it would be better to put it under the nose, and it would be more secure.

Ning Wenfeng's words received unanimous nods from both Shi Wanshan and Guhe. Obviously, on such a matter, the three of them had the same opinion.Then Ning Wenfeng continued: "It's all right now, the mercenaries took action and took down Dalu City, then give it to them. With them standing in front of us, we can sit back and relax and do what we want Didn’t the commander tell the court that he wanted to form and train a new army? Although Zhezi didn’t get a response, it’s because we didn’t do much, and it was just a test. I think we can increase our efforts now. , consider practical issues.”

Ning Wenfeng's words can be said to have broken the current situation at once, and what he said was very consistent with Shi Wanshan, which also caused the Commander-in-Chief to burst into laughter, "That's right, what Wenfeng said is very true, Someone guards the gate for us, so we can free up our hands to do more things. Well, how about it, I will write a memorial right away, and then I will greet some important officials in the court. The timing of the new army training It should be here."

In the Xuanfu, a countermeasure was discussed, and they adopted a strategy of keeping the same and watching the development of the situation with a smile.He wanted to use the mercenary troops to guard the gate of Dalu City for them, and at the same time vigorously develop and strengthen himself.But what they never expected was that in their eyes, Dalu City should be stabilized and the mercenaries who digested the fruit would brave the heavy snow and come to Xuanfu City.

Of course, not many mercenaries came, only a few hundred people at full count.But among these hundreds of people there is a loyal and brave man, this is no small matter.Shi Wanshan, who was reading in the study, was taken aback when his subordinates reported that his father-in-law Zhongdan came to the city to call for the door. He quickly put on his armor, called his own soldiers, and left the mansion to go up the tower.

When rushing all the way to the city tower, Shi Wanshan was still puzzled. He couldn't figure it out. The loyal hero who captured Dalu City didn't digest the fruits of victory there and strengthen the city defense there, so why did he run away? He has come to Xuanfu, what exactly is he going to do?

Shi Wanshan didn't know that the so-called digestion of fruit may be a long process in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Yang Chendong who was prepared, it was just a matter of a few words.He only needs to send all the people in the city who want to leave, as well as the captured Tatar soldiers, to Shicheng in the rear.

The road from Dalu City to Shicheng has been cleared by Lu Zhuo of the Second Reinforced Cavalry Regiment and three new regiments, which can ensure the transportation of personnel and materials.With this major premise, a journey of seven or eight hundred miles is nothing.As for Dalu City, it is enough to leave two battalions of soldiers to maintain normal operations.You must know that it is winter at this time, and it is not a good time for fighting, so no one will take the idea of ​​​​resisting Lucheng easily.

Chapter 781 Grandpa Guo Goes to the Capital

After arranging these things, it only took Yang Chendong three days before and after, and then he headed straight to Xuancheng with the guards, the black cavalry, the members of the Spike Special Forces and the Ghost Sniper Team. For the Chinese New Year in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, the goal is set, and it will not be changed easily.

Just showing up at the base of Xuanfu City with about two hundred riders, Yang Chendong raised his head and looked up at the city that had been strengthened by Shi Wanshan, and loudly announced his name.
