As a family, the old and the new concepts often arise first or most violently between father and son. Because in China, the path of a son is often related to the father's understanding of the world, of course, whether it is right or wrong, father is a word worthy of respect.

Jiang Yong rode his bicycle, followed by his guards, looking from afar. The city of Tingzhou on a summer morning is bathed in the morning light before sunrise. From the top of the city, you could see the soldiers defending the city coming and going.

Jiang Yong pinched the brakes, stopped the car, and tried to recall it in his mind, trying to find a hint of déjà vu. It turned out to be a big disappointment.

"This is Tingzhou, it is said that if I have lived here for a decade or two, I should not have no impression at all!"

Accompanying Jiang Yong was Zhang Kentang, a bachelor sent by Zhu Yujian to deliver the message. Now these well-behaved Ming Dynasty officials are all polite when they see the soldiers of the Shenzhou Army, and they can't understand the symbols of the Shenzhou Army, and the soldiers and officers are all about the same, so when they come up along the way, this Qincha just shrinks in his new six-person driven long-distance bus called "running all over the mountain" and does not show up. Thanks to this kind of wagon-style "mountain run" for long-distance travel, there is a toilet, otherwise I am afraid that I will not suffocate in it.

At this moment, Jiang Zhengxi in the city's general military palace is busy with the roster of the newly brought strong men, a total of 3,800 strong men have been brought in this time, and in general, Jiang Zhengxi is quite satisfied in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a report from outside the door, "Report to your lordship, there is a team of soldiers from outside the city, and they look like the first marshal of the royal family, but everyone is riding on a strange car...... The city gate guard is willing to ask the lord to show whether to let the army enter the city? ”

"That's not what happened!" Jiang Zhengxi's heart suddenly fluctuated, "It's the same as the armor of the first royal division, but he is riding a strange car that no one knows, isn't that the 'Shenzhou Army' coming, I heard others say that these people are a little unruly, and they need to deal with it well." He quickly turned around in his mind, and said to the Zhongjun outside the door: "Don't let them in in a hurry, wait for General Ben to go and check for himself." ”

Zhang Kentang is the official of Zhu Yujian's Longwu Dynasty, of course, he can't help himself in the court, and he can only participate in the fight between officials. Since Huang Mingjun returned to Fuzhou, he has used troops year after year in recent years, and the military department has become more and more powerful, which is temporarily and helpless because several other departments are dissatisfied with.

Speaking of which, the emperor doesn't care about the disputes in the court at all, he just runs his army wholeheartedly, and he doesn't even pay decent attention to this year's new department. On the contrary, the guards of his palace were all replaced by the army trained by Shenzhou, although there were only less than a hundred people. However, Zhang Kentang could feel the murderous aura on those guards as he passed by.

"Your Majesty is now no matter what your civil officials are, as long as you have a strong army, too! If there are tens of thousands of soldiers like guards, why worry about the injustice of the world, even if he is afraid that the Qing army and King Lu will just be swept away! ”

Through the curtain on the station wagon, he quietly looked out, and his soldiers also came to quietly tell him the movements of the Shenzhou army. What he didn't expect was that when he got here, it was said to be a safe place under the city of Tingzhou, but the Shenzhou army still opened the frame, it seems that if you let me enter the city, I will enter, if you don't let me enter the city, I dare to enter the city.

Jiang Yong lined up the chariot company in the front, followed by the suppressive fire composed of self-propelled mortars from each company, and then the rangers in shock formation. In fact, he didn't think about demonstrating, but the Shenzhou Army has the rule of "always vigilant", to put it bluntly, when he sees that things are not good, he will fight first and then talk about it. Of course, for the forces that have come into contact with or heard of the Shenzhou Army, no one will call them real, who doesn't know that they are a gang of two poles! So the attitude adopted is generally cooperative.

Jiang Zhengxi looked at the formation under the city at the head of the city, and a burst of anger rose in his heart. Looking at the chariots that were laid out under the city, they were afraid that they would not let them enter the city say anything, and they would dare to attack it, what kind of friendly army is this, it is purely here to demonstrate!

"Pass my general order to defend the city for battle!"

The defenders at the head of the city moved one after another, and the additional archers and gunners went up to the city wall.

The commander of the chariot company ordered the whole company to advance forward to the attack position, and to blow up the city gate to attack the city after the battalion commander gave the order.

Li Changxiang ordered to report his situation to the battalion headquarters in his chariot, in fact, as far as Jiang Yong was concerned, he also saw it very clearly, if he changed to other Ming troops, the Ming herald ordered to open the city gate first to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, speaking of which, the 30,000 Ming army really did not put it in the eyes of Jiang Yong, who had participated in the frog jumping operation. However, in case the defenders here are really their own fathers, give their fathers a dismount first, this is a bit unreasonable!

However, according to the operational regulations, he could not ignore Li Changxiang's request, so he had no choice but to send an order to the communication squad: "Order to prepare for an attack, and fire is not allowed without an order." ”

"Yes," the messenger quickly used the battlefield communication system and sent the order.

Jiang Zhengxi originally thought that he was backed by the strong city, and he made a show to scare them, they would definitely send someone to explain the situation, and they would lose first in terms of momentum, who would have thought that the Shenzhou army under the city was not ambiguous at all, and he only made a move here, and before half of the people were half, the people's chariots would arrive under the city, and they were afraid that they would attack if they delayed for a moment. This reminded him of what his old subordinates in the "First Royal Division" had said.

“…… Those Shenzhou troops, you must not mess with them, those people can only take advantage of them, and they will never suffer losses, this time they are in Jiangnan...... Lord Shen, the Zhejiang Zhishui Master of King Lu...... They don't care what kind of official you are, they can't see it at all...... Their city lord is still ...... Attacked the emperor's palace! ”

Jiang Zhengxi couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, you must know that the army under the city is less than 10,000 people, and the elite of the 100,000 Qing army is completely powerless, and it only takes a few months to sweep away the tiger and wolf army in the south of the Yangtze River, is it a bit too big for him to really do it with them! But if you let them into the city, where will you put your face?

Sometimes people are not for justice, not for profit, not for their relatives, they may be desperate just for the sake of face, but they often regret it afterwards, and the root cause is just "die to save face and suffer the crime!" ”
