Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Three Ming soldiers, a woman, and a big cart? This is quite weird, but why bother me with such a trivial matter? Find out their identities, and if they are correct, just throw them away. Just send him away. If the identity is incorrect, just kill him. Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future." Hou Shilu frowned.

Hearing Hou Shilu's words, the messenger did not leave directly, but remained there with hesitation on his face.

"Are you still leaving?" Hou Shilu said impatiently.

"My lord, the cart they are pulling is full of heads, and they are all the heads of Tartars." The orderly said hesitantly.

"What's the matter with all the heads of Tartars? Hurry up and let them..."

"What? It's all the heads of Tartars? Can you see clearly?" Hou Shilu was shocked, and suddenly thought of the news he had received from the captives.

The captives said that they were defeated by the three Ming soldiers.But now, three Ming soldiers suddenly came from outside the city of Xuanfu, and they were also pulling a cart full of Tartar heads.How can this not shock Hou Shilu?

"Where are they now?" Hou Shilu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, they're still outside the city. They couldn't match the password, so we didn't let them in."

"Okay, stop talking, take me with you." Hou Shilu said.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Hou Shilu came to the city wall.

He looked outside the city wall and saw three Ming soldiers wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets pulling a large cart and parked outside the moat.Behind them followed a woman holding a jar.

Hou Shilu squinted his eyes and looked at the cart carefully.

Hou Shilu was startled, and said to himself: "Sure enough, the cart is full of tartar heads."

Hou Shilu pointed at those Zhao Wen and others, frowned and said, "But them?"

"My lord, it's them."

"Speak to them and ask who they are," Hou Shilu said.

The messenger standing behind him cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and said, "Where are you from? Which department are you from? What are you going to do in Xuanfu Town?"

Hearing the voice coming from the Xuanfu city wall, Zhao Wen turned his head and said to Zhao Daniu, "Tell them that we are the soldiers of the beacon tower outside the Dushikou Pass, and that we are here to reward Xuanfu."

"Obey!" Zhao Daniu walked to the front, his dantian sank, and he said loudly: "We are the beacon soldiers outside the Dushikou pass, who came to Xuanfu to receive the reward. You open the city gate quickly, we want to go in."

Hou Shilu looked at Zhao Wen and the others below, and said in a low voice: "Dushikou? This Dushikou is more than 200 miles away from Xuanfu Town. What are they doing here? Besides, you should go to Dushikou North Road to receive the reward. I went to Dushi Maying, why did I come here? Is it possible that these three people are really the three people that the Tartars said?"

"Ask again, ask them what their names are, and why they went to the Xuan Mansion to receive the reward." Hou Shilu said in a deep voice.

"Master Zongbing asks you, what are your names, why did you go to the Xuanfu to receive the reward, why don't you go to Dushimaying on the North Road?"

Zhao Wen looked at Hou Shilu at the top of the city, and thought to himself: "There are so many things here, why don't you let us enter the city quickly and block us at the gate of the city? What do you want to do? Are we still thieves?"

"My lord, what should I say now?" Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen squeezed his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Just explain to them why we are here."

"Yes!"

Zhao Daniu pointed at the city wall again, and said loudly: "My name is Zhao Daniu, this is Zhao Wen, and his name is Song Hu. We came to Xuan Mansion to receive a reward, and we also came to pass on urgent military information."

"Zhao Daniu? Song Hu? Is there such a person in Dushikou?" Hou Shilu frowned.

"Master Hui Zongbing, there are indeed these two people in Dushikou." A personal guard behind Hou Shilu approached Hou Shilu's ear and whispered.

Hou Shilu turned his head, looked at the guard, and asked, "How do you know?"

"These two people participated in the Battle of Salhu with Beizhi before, and Beizhi had a relationship with them once."

"Then let's see if they are the two you mentioned." Hou Shilu pointed at Zhao Daniu and said.

The guard walked to the edge of the city wall, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Zhao Daniu, "Master Hui, it's them."

"Can you see clearly?"

"Hizhi guarantees with his head that they are the two I mentioned."

"Okay, then let them in. Pay attention, if there is anything wrong with them, just shoot me arrows immediately." Hou Shilu said coldly.

Although the few Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets in front of them were probably the three men mentioned by the Tartar captives, Hou Shilu didn't dare to gamble.

What if these three are spies of the Tartars?What if their purpose is to fraudulently open the city gate?

As the commander-in-chief of a town, Hou Shilu had to guard against it.

"crunch~"

The city gate opened slowly, and the suspension bridge over the moat was slowly lowered.

Zhao Wen looked at the open gate, waved his hand, and said, "Enter the city!"

Zhao Daniu hurried to the front of the cart, grabbed the shaft with both hands, groaned, and pulled the cart forward.

Song Hu ran to the back of the cart, exerted all his strength, and pushed behind.

Li Xiaoying looked nervous, and followed Zhao Wen closely, for fear that Zhao Wen would leave her and run away alone.

……

"Close the gate!"

Just after Zhao Wen and others walked into the city gate of Xuanfu, Hou Shilu stood on the top of the city and shouted.

"crunch~"

With a tooth-piercing sound, the gate of Xuanfu Town was slammed shut again.

Zhao Wen and others were blocked in Wengcheng.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Wen looked coldly at Hou Shilu on the top of the wall, and put his hands on his waist.

Standing on the top of the city, Hou Shilu looked at Zhao Wen and others in Wengcheng, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

If you kill all these people in front of you, grab all the heads of the Tartars in their hands.Then I used the Spring and Autumn brushwork to write a memorial to ask for credit from the court, saying that I wiped out all the Tartars who had entered the territory of the Xuanfu.

Hou Shilu looked at the heads of the tartars on the cart, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

There are so many Tartar heads piled on such a large car, it is estimated that there are hundreds of them.

With so many heads, this is an unprecedented victory.

You must know that since the middle period of Wanli, the Ming army has rarely captured so many Tartar heads.Even Li Chengliang, who raised Nurhachi as a slave back then, could not have captured so many Tartar heads in one battle.

Normally, even beheading a dozen heads of Tartars would be considered a great victory.Not to mention the hundreds of heads now.There are hundreds of Tartar heads in front of his eyes, as long as he moves his hands, they are all his own.

This is hundreds of heads, maybe they can be sealed directly with so many heads.

When Hou Shilu thought of this, a fiery light burst out of his eyes.He looked greedily at the head on the cart.

Chapter 36

Zhao Wen frowned, and shouted at Hou Shilu, "What do you mean?"

Hou Shilu came back to his senses and said, "I heard that three Ming soldiers killed hundreds of Tartars today outside the city of Xuanfu. Is it you?"

Zhao Wen said, "So what if it is, so what if it's not?"

Zhao Wen put his hands on his waist, and tightly grasped the big black star.

"Hehe, young man, have courage. I want to discuss something with you!" Hou Shilu narrowed his eyes, looking greedily at the head on the cart.

Looking at Hou Shilu's appearance, Zhao Wen couldn't understand what Hou Shilu was thinking.

So, Zhao Wendao: "I know what you want to do, but have you thought about it. Since I can kill so many Tartars, don't I have a certain method?"

"Methods? Hehe, look at you now, what methods can you use? I admit that you have some ability to wipe out hundreds of Tartars in the wild. But, have you ever thought that this place is different from the wild. You The place we are in now is called Weng City. Now, the front and rear gates have been closed. Do you think you can escape? Let alone the three of you, even if there are thousands of people inside, I am sure to kill them all "Hou Shilu narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Although the three people in front of him were probably the three people mentioned by the Tartar captives, Hou Shilu still had a little luck in his heart.What if it wasn't what the Tartars said, and the heads they pulled were just picked?

Thinking of this, Hou Shilu decided to give it a go.After all, now the three of them are like turtles in a urn, trapped in Wengcheng.And my own side is condescending, surrounded by high walls to protect, and there is no way out.No matter how you look at it, your chances of winning are better.

Besides, who knows if those Tartars were scared out of their wits and bragging there?

There is a saying that people make money and birds die for food. The heads on the big cart in front of me are a great achievement that is within easy reach. As long as I have these heads, my future will be extremely bright. .At that time, let alone a small general soldier, he might be awarded a hereditary title by the imperial court.

A hereditary and irreplaceable title, that is a rest with the country.You can't enjoy the glory and wealth.

When Hou Shilu thought of this, his heart became hot again.He looked at Zhao Wen in Wengcheng, his face gradually darkened.

"This town wants the head of a tartar in your hand, you can make a price." Hou Shilu said coldly.

Before it was time to have to, Hou Shilu didn't really want to tear up his face with Zhao Wen and others.

If you can safely get the heads in their hands, then why bother to fight?

After all, if this matter gets out, the impact will not be very good.

"You want the Tartar head in my hand?" Zhao Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at Hou Shilu jokingly.

Hou Shilu said solemnly: "That's right, this town wants to buy the Tartar head from you, what do you think?"

"Then how much can you pay?" Zhao Wen touched the big black star on his waist, then looked at the Ming army surrounding the city, felt something was wrong, and then stuffed the big black star back.He gradually backed up and stopped right in front of the cart.

Zhao Wen touched Hou Shilu with his right hand while tugging at it.

Zhao Wen's hands kept groping on the cart, and suddenly, a cold touch came from his fingers, and Zhao Wen knew that it was the 40 fire that he had put there.

"One head, five taels of silver, what do you think?" Hou Shilu stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of his eyes.

When Zhao Wen heard this, he cursed in his heart: Damn, a tartar head was originally worth three or forty taels of silver, but this bastard is only worth five taels of silver. What's the difference between this and Ming Qiang?

In my later life, I once read in a book that the civil servants and military generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty were greedy.Before, I thought it was written by the Qing Dynasty deliberately, deliberately discrediting the Ming Dynasty.Unexpectedly, if Zhao Wen hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes today, he wouldn't have realized the greed of officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Daniu on the side had an angry look on his face. I and others worked so hard to get these tartar heads. As a result, you just wanted to buy them for five taels of silver with a light sentence. You are not too Did you bully someone?

Zhao Daniu looked at Hou Shilu angrily, and said angrily, "My lord, aren't you bullying people? A tartar's head is worth at least 30 taels of silver, and you only pay five taels of silver. Isn't this a clear robbery?"

Hou Shilu sneered, and said: "It's already quite a lot. You can do the math yourself. One tartar head is five taels of silver, ten is 50 taels, and one hundred is 100 taels. This town estimates that there are enough taels in your big cart." Three hundred coins before, three hundred coins, this is 150 taels of silver."

Hmph, grab it?If it wasn't for Lao Tzu's fear that he would be too ugly and be talked about by others, I wouldn't want to spend a single copper coin.

"Fuck, you corrupt official. Are you dreaming of buying the head of a tartar from my hand for 150 taels?" Zhao Daniu spat directly and cursed fiercely.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.What's more, what about a big soldier like Zhao Daniu who has been poor all his life?

Hou Shilu's complexion darkened, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be shameless, if you don't toast, you will be punished!"

"Hey, I just don't give you face, why? Want to kill me?" Zhao Wen smirked, and then slowly removed 40 fire from the cart.

Hou Shilu didn't notice the 40 fire in Zhao Wen's hand. He snorted coldly, then waved his hand and shouted: "Fire me an arrow!"

At the same time, Zhao Wen directly raised the 40 fire in his hand, aimed at Hou Shilu, and said angrily: "Do it!"

When Song Hu and Zhao Daniu heard Zhao Wen's voice, they directly took off the 56 halves from their backs, pulled the trigger, and fired at the top of the city wall.

"Hey!"

The rocket with its orange tail flame made a strange scream and flew towards Hou Shilu rapidly.

"What?" Hou Shilu looked at the rockets flying towards him, his pupils shrank, and he was horrified.

He felt an extremely dangerous aura from the rocket.

"Oh!"

The rocket landed at Hou Shilu's feet, and before he could react, it exploded directly at his feet.A huge flame directly enveloped Hou Shilu.

"what!!!"

A shrill scream rang out, and then a big pit appeared where Hou Shilu was standing.

After the smoke cleared, everyone was horrified to find that the commander-in-chief standing there had disappeared.Instead, there was a dark pool of blood on the ground.

"Master Chief Soldier was killed!!!"

"Master Chief Soldier was killed!!!"

"The commander-in-chief is gone? What kind of weapon is this? Why is it so terrifying?"

..........

The Ming army on the top of the city looked at this scene in horror, and for a while, the whole city was in chaos.

Zhao Wen looked at the panicked Ming army and waved his hand to make Song Hu and Zhao Daniu stop shooting.

"My lord, everyone, you, you, you killed the general officer of Xuanfu Town!!!" Zhao Daniu was trembling all over, and he pointed at Zhao Wen in disbelief, trembling with horror on his face.

Zhao Wen turned around and said with disdain, "So what?"
