【0315 Zu Dashou】
Wei Bao's face immediately darkened.
I'm not worried that Fan's head won't be able to carry the rescuers, after all, I spent a lot of money!
Wei Bao was afraid that Fan's head and the rescuers he moved would not be able to catch up, so it was too late, what was the difference between coming and not coming?
When Weijiazhuang is flattened by the other party, even if the emperor comes, it will be too late, okay?
Wei Bao felt that even if Zhu Youxiao himself was present in person, he would have the strength to behead all the local warlords and bigwigs such as the ancestral Wu family?
This is not the city of Beijing, not the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City!
If you want to, you can't cut it!
The warlords were originally a group of things that could not be dropped, and the necks of these people were harder than big knives when they did not go to the capital.
"Got it, keep it under close surveillance." Lin Wenbiao saw that the agent had nothing else to do, and ordered.
The agent bowed and stepped back.
"Childe, sit and rest, no matter how many people they come, our more than 1,000 people are not easy to get along with, it's a big deal to fight, don't worry about not being able to send Childe away." After Lin Wenbiao finished speaking, he asked softly: "Otherwise, son, let's cancel this competition, right?" Childe is leaving now? ”
Wei Bao raised his hand: "No!" ”
After saying that, he didn't say why.
Even if the other party gets a large army, he can't just leave, Wei Bao doesn't believe in the ancestral Wu family, so he dares to let the army kill people casually! Even if they have the upper hand, the army is only a deterrent, and they still have to arrest themselves to the government or the Shanhaiguan Guard Command Envoy, go through the 'process' and then kill them, right?
Until the last resort, Wei Bao is unwilling to choose this road, reluctant to do everything that has been achieved in front of him.
At this juncture, Wei Bao didn't feel that he had achieved much, but now he suddenly felt that he seemed to have a lot of things in the time and space of Daming, just fighting a piece of land like this, the control of this land, and the people who followed him in this land were very impressive.
Not to mention that there are a lot of industrial projects, the structure of the factory has been built, the chemical plant, the coal yard, the cement plant, are all working day and night.
What's the deal with running away first? Isn't it the same as giving it all away?
Although Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya, who were on the side, did not hear what Wei Gongzi and Lin Wenbiao were talking about, they could guess the approximate meaning, and the three women endured it and did not persuade Wei Gongzi to leave. If so many armies really came, it would be too sinister.
Wei Bao calmed down and sat down to drink tea!
The army brought by the Wu family and the ancestral family arrived very quickly, and just now they said that they were assembled in Funingwei, and they had arrived in a blink of an eye, and it seemed that they came together! Maybe the assembly was completed last night, and the agents on their own side didn't realize until now that it seemed that the other party was secretly assembling, and there were still big loopholes in their own side's intelligence work, even if they were local, it was very bad.
The army whined, and groups of five people came in groups of five, and the flags were densely packed, as if they had come to fight.
Wei Bao was shocked, it was the first time he had observed such a huge number of ancient armies, and he secretly thought that this was the army that the Ming Dynasty would defeat every time he built slaves? Not like it? Pretty mighty, huh?
The discipline seems to be quite strict, and the journey is neat, and there is no phenomenon of hand-to-ear.
The total number of troops is more than 7,000 people, Wu Xiang transferred 1,000 soldiers and horses from the Wei Command Division, and Zu Dashou transferred 300 cavalry from Jinzhou! They are considered to be the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, and they will give Wei Bao such an impression when they are at the forefront.
The more than 6,000 horses mobilized in the Yongping Mansion and Funingwei areas followed.
Wei Bao had seen the guards of Yongping Mansion and Funingwei before, and he had a very bad impression of them, and he relied on them to fight bandits.
This is already the largest armed force that the Wu family and the ancestral family can mobilize in a short period of time.
A group of big families in Liaoxi also came over with the Wu family, and it seems that they have all made an appointment in private.
The constant flow of armies is putting more and more pressure on Wei Bao, he has never felt this way, this is what really happened, in modern times, no realistic 3D movie can cause this effect.
Rows and rows of troops, there is no better way to come out.
In comparison, Wei Bao's more than 500 people from the Statistics Office and the guards and land guards in black casual clothes were much weaker.
Not only is the difference in numbers too far apart, clothing is also a big reason, people are armor and cloth clothes, although many ordinary guards wear tattered, but it does not affect the strength of people standing together, because they wear the military uniforms allowed to be worn by the Ming court!
Military uniforms represent the strength of the country.
Surrounded by hundreds of horses, the first black-faced general has a short beard, although he is not very energetic between his eyebrows, with a small nose and small eyes, but he is a little obscene, but his body shape and outfit make up for the flaws in his face, and he is covered in bright black armor and a big red cloak, fluttering in the wind, but also majestic.
The cloak worn by the general when leading the troops to fight in the cold weapon era is generally very thin, and when the general rides on the war horse, it will float up with the wind.
Moreover, this cloak is not effective in resisting the cold wind, and it is impossible for a general who fights on behalf of his troops to use the cloak as a protection against the cold.
First, the most important role of the generals' cloaks is naturally to let their own army argue the position of the commander, if they lose the battle, they can better protect the commander's retreat, of course, the commander wearing the cloak also has disadvantages when retreating, for example, Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period fought with Ma Chao in Tongguan, but was chased and killed by Ma Chao after a fiasco.
Second, it is necessary to boost morale, unify command, and clarify the direction of operations. If there is no commander in an army, it is a plate of scattered sand without combat effectiveness, such as Sun Wu in the late Spring and Autumn Period, Bai Qi of the Qin State, Han Xin in the Chu and Han dynasties and other famous generals, once the command is clear, not only can highlight the strength of the generals to lead the troops to fight, but also can highlight the army's marching combat ability and cohesion, and once such an army is formed, it will inevitably be unstoppable.
Third, the symbol of identity and status. In the barracks, generals with status and status often wear cloaks, because this is the honor and prestige that generals should have, and it is also the recognition of the generals' ability by their subordinates.
Fourth, it can be bandaged in time when injured. In a ruthless and brutal war, there will inevitably be casualties, and if the generals are injured, they can also tear off their cloaks in time to bandage them to prevent the erosion wounds from worsening further.
Fifth, handsome. During the Three Kingdoms period, Changshan Zhao Zilong took Liu Bei's son Adou, a spear and a white robe, seven in and seven out, and the Cao army that was killed fell into the water, and then Zhao Yun rushed out of Cao Cao's encirclement wearing a cloak, feeling handsome and explosive.
The generals' cloaks still have a very special meaning in the army, not only to command the army, protect themselves but also to bandage wounds, and it is also a symbol of status.
"This person is the leader, is it Zu Dashou?" Wei Bao asked Lin Wenbiao beside him.
Lin Wenbiao nodded and said, "Although I haven't seen it either, according to the intelligence description, eighty percent is this guy." Otherwise, Wu Xiang behind him would not be half a horse behind. ”
Wei Bao stared at Zu Dashou, secretly thinking that this famous person in history had finally appeared.
Zu Dashou is a native of Ningyuan, Liaodong, and Wu Sangui's uncle.
In the original history.
In 1628 (the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty), Zu Dashou was promoted to the chief officer of the forward army because of the "Ningyuan Great Victory" obtained by Shouning Ningyuan, and was stationed in Jinzhou.
Zu Dashou later followed Yuan Chonghuan into the customs to defend the Beijing Division. Chongzhen sent Yuan Chonghuan to prison for various reasons. Zu Dashou was afraid of being implicated and escaped from the Shanhaiguan. Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter to appease, and Zu Dashou returned to the Ming Dynasty.
In 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), in the battle of the Daling River, Zu Dashou was exhausted, so he surrendered by fraud and fled to Jinzhou City to fight against the Qing army. The Qing court repeatedly refused to surrender.
In 1641 (the fourteenth year of Chongzhen), in the Songjin War that began in the third month of the lunar calendar, due to the defeat of the reinforcement Hong Chengchou, Jinzhou was completely hopeless, so Zu Dashou led his troops to surrender.
Later, he entered the customs with the Qing army, and died of illness in Beijing in 1656 (the thirteenth year of Shunzhi).
For traitors like Zu Dashou, Wei Bao actually doesn't particularly hate it, he can only say that he is not strong-willed, sees the wind and steers, has no guidelines, or says that life is supreme, no faith, no ethics.
As long as he didn't continue to work vigorously for the Qing court after surrendering and slaughtered many Han Chinese, Wei Bao could be considered acceptable.
Wei Bao does not have a particularly strict five-mao tendency, not to say that those who surrendered in history are categorically disgusted, and they don't stop if they don't kill.
In Wei Bao's impression, Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou are slightly better than Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi.
If you are caught, you will either surrender or die, and people choose to surrender, which is understandable, but not agreeable.
Comparing hearts to hearts, there are few hardcore five cents who have reached that threshold, and they can really wipe their necks and die for the country.
Wei Bao's people have set up two or three hundred seats in front of the ring, and the surrounding areas are separated by strips of cloth to prevent too many people from standing under the ring and forming a stampede.
But after Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and others arrived, they did not sit in the position arranged by Wei Bao's subordinates.
Instead, their family members brought large chairs.
Zu Dashouhu stepped forward, and sat down in the middle with a big grin, with a posture of giving up who else, but he was quite a big brother.
Wu Xiang is a few years younger than Zu Dashou, but it seems that he is a generation behind, in front of Zu Dashou, there is no posture of a small bully that Wei Bao can see in Wu Xiang before.
Wu Sangui is also like a little rabbit who follows the rules in front of Zu Dashou, and there is no ruffian spirit who stands without standing like sitting without sitting.
Wei Bao came to meet Zu Dashou.
Although I don't want to talk nonsense with him, I still need to be polite, not to mention, I am the master here, and my courage must be maintained.
"General Zu is good." Wei Bao hugged his fist with the gift of a scholar.
Zu Dashou looked at Wei Bao indifferently, he didn't expect that Wei Bao was a weak young man, he seemed to be younger than the 12-year-old Wu Sangui, and compared with Wu Sangui, his body was not a table at all, he was a little surprised, but he despised Wei Bao even more.
"Master Wei, don't use these false courtesies. Before, you said that you would put it here for the competition, and we didn't have a second word. Are you ready now? Wu Xiang said.
"No problem, you can start anytime! The ring is all set. Wei Bao gestured to the ring behind him.
Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and a group of wealthy people in western Liaoning looked at the ring more than six meters high behind Wei Bao, and then they knew that they were going to compete on it, and they were all secretly funny, secretly thinking that Wei Bao was looking for death!
They all know that Wei Bao is a person who can't martial arts, so he doesn't have to worry about falling to death on flat ground, right? You are on this kind of high platform, and you will be knocked down by Wu Sangui in another round, and then you will be caught and thrown off the high platform and fall to your death!
In the face of everyone's contemptuous gaze, Wei Bao did not react, now Fan did not bring people back, how to operate these people, in fact, Wei Bao didn't care, a little excited.
"Wei Gongzi, the semicolon of your heaven and earth business is posted at the door, fifty to one, as long as you bet before the competition, how much you lose, is it true?" Wu Xiang asked.
"That's right." Wei Bao replied indifferently.
Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou glanced at each other.
Zu Dashou smiled: "This is great! Although 50 to 1 is a little less, it should also be able to win this year's tenant rent, right? I'll have a 200,000 taels of gold to play! I treat my nephew like a son, and there is no reason not to bet on Sangui! ”
Everyone present was in an uproar.
No matter how loud Zu Dashou's voice is, it can only be heard clearly by people who are very close to him, there are tens of thousands of onlookers present, as well as seven or eight thousand troops, plus Wei Bao's people, almost 20,000 or so, I heard that Zu Dashou is going to bet 200,000 taels of gold, they are all stunned, on the one hand, they are shocked that the Zu family is so powerful, and they can actually take out 200,000 taels of gold! On the one hand, I was shocked that Zu Dashou would place such a heavy bet!
This time, the ancestral family is desperate to let Wu Sangui win, and everyone thinks like this.
I saw a team of officers and soldiers carrying more than 20 boxes out, and when they opened them, each box was full of gold bars!
Huang Cancan, so dazzling.
Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, as well as a group of big families in western Liaoning, everyone kept looking at Wei Bao, but they didn't see any waves on Wei Bao's face.
Wu Xiang smiled and said, "Since General Zu is so interested, I will also play with it!" I bet on the dog to win! 100,000 taels of gold! Wei Gongzi, let your people collect it! ”
Another group of officers and soldiers came over carrying more than a dozen large boxes.
There was another loud uproar.
The Wu family and the ancestral family alone jointly bet 300,000 taels of gold!
This! ……
300,000 taels of gold is already equivalent to nearly 10 million silver, which is huge!
Although many of the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong who brought silver and silver tickets, but were still watching, there was no doubt at this time.
Fifty thousand taels!
Thirty thousand taels!
Ten thousand taels!
100,000 taels!
Eighty thousand taels!
120,000 taels!
They are more than 100,000 taels, less than 10,000 taels, crazy bets.
More than 100 large households have placed tens of millions of taels of silver.
In an instant, under the ring, it became a mountain of gold and silver!
This is not the gold and silver mountains in the painting, it is a real thing, piled up together at this time, and the shocked onlookers exclaimed again and again.
"Childe?" Lin Wenbiao reminded softly, because seeing that Wei Bao had been like an old monk in his meditation, he didn't react at all.
Wei Bao is really frozen, scared!
He was prepared to lose before, but it is estimated that he only won hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the last scientific expedition.
This time he competed with Wu Sangui, even if he surpassed the last test Xiucai, the bet would be capped at most one or two million taels, right? Fifty to one, even if it is three million taels, it is only a compensation of sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver, which is nothing.
But now, seeing that it is more than 20 million taels, if you want to pay it, you have to pay 450,000 taels of silver!
He has already paid 200,000 taels of silver to the Wu family first, and there are only about 180,000 taels of silver left at most, not considering the one million taels of silver that will be handed over to the big families to buy grain in a month, right now, after the competition is over, if he can't pay the silver, the entire Weijiazhuang will definitely suffer instantly!
After all, they have brought a large army, and with their own strength, not to mention seven or eight thousand troops, even the field guards of more than a thousand ancestors, they can also raze Weijiazhuang in one go, and it is even possible that they can't do it if they want to break out of the encirclement, because they have hundreds of cavalry!
Lin Wenbiao shouted Wei Bao, and when he saw that Gongzi did not react, he touched Wei Bao's hand again.
Wei Bao still didn't react, and Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui, who were in a hurry, also came over and pulled Wei Bao's sleeve.
The big gamblers were still apprehensive, but now looking at Wei Bao's appearance, Wenwen is weak and restless. Compared with the strong and brave Wu Sangui, he stood steady like a small iron pillar, his face was red, like a fierce beast, as if he was going to eat Wei Bao at any time, who doesn't know which side will win?
Wu Xuexia, who was standing behind Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng and Wu Sanfu, looked at Wei Bao worriedly, seeing Wei Bao's dejected appearance, he would feel that Wei Bao was very pitiful at this time, let alone Wu Xuexia.
Wu Xuexia said angrily before, saying that she wanted to bet 5,000 taels of silver, but she didn't actually bet, but her eldest brother borrowed all her silver and made up another 10,000 taels of silver to bet.
After the big investors bet, all the small and medium-sized households who were on the sidelines also made up their minds, ranging from fifty taels of silver to ten thousand taels of silver, and there were also two or three hundred bets, with a total of four or five hundred taels of silver.
Although the odds of 50 to 1 are too low, who would not dare to do a stable business? It's good to win a silver or two, and it's not worth it to bring a silver ticket to see the excitement from such a distance.
Although Wei Gongzi seemed to have been drained of his soul, several bookkeepers under Wei Bao did not dare not accept the cash, because Wei Gongzi had already explained that before the competition, how many bets were collected, and the notices were all sent out, and it was too late to change it now.
Soon, the silver and gold were all gone.
"You're all done, aren't you?" Wu Sangui was rough and angry, and he was proud of showing off his might, walking back and forth in front of Wei Bao, and said loudly to the thousands of onlookers.
"Let's go."
A thunderous response came.
Wu Sangui laughed happily: "Okay, you all wait to win!" You tell Wei Bao, is it me Wu Sangui, or is he Wei Bao? ”
"Wu Sangui!"
"Wu Sangui!"
"Wu Sangui!"
……
Everyone shouted in unison.
The mountains roared like a tsunami, which made Wu Sangui, who was 'down', excited, and had never enjoyed such a moment in the eyes of thousands of people, taking off his coat and underwear, revealing his lean muscles.
Where does Wu Sangui look like a 12-year-old child, full of muscles, piece by piece, like a bodybuilder, even a seventeen or eighteen-year-old martial arts practitioner, it is difficult to practice Wu Sangui's physique, it is scary to look at, it feels like a sledgehammer smashed on Wu Sangui, it is difficult to shake it!
"Wei Bao! Don't be stupid, stand there stupidly, like wood, come, die! Wu Sangui proudly pointed at Wei Bao and roared.
"Childe."
Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui all began to wipe their tears anxiously.
Wei Bao finally reacted, looking at Wu Sangui with a dull gaze.
"Talking to you, the villagers are scared silly?" Wu Sangui saw Wei Bao looking so dumbfounded, and laughed happily again.
Wei Bao was really frightened, not to mention the seven or eight thousand troops brought by Zu Dashou in front of him!
As far as Wu Sangui's beast-like physique is concerned, it is scary enough.
Although sufficient preparations have been made before, no matter how meticulous the preparation is, the Chinese men's football team is the Chinese men's football team, and it cannot become a Brazilian team in an instant.
The current Wu Sangui is not the difference between the Chinese team and South Korea and Japan for Wei Bao, but at least the gap between the Netherlands and Italy and a group of first-class European tough teams!
"Broken goods! Say what about you! Wu Sangui roared irritably. I originally took the medicine, but now I am very excited, and I can't wait to kill Wei Bao with one punch, but seeing that Wei Bao didn't reply for a long time, I was even more irritable.
Wei Bao reacted, glared at Wu Sangui angrily, aroused some blood, afraid of returning, fortunately Wei Bao can be regarded as a person who has achieved a certain degree in Daming, how to say, he also has more than 20,000 people! The hands and feet did not tremble!
"Insulting words, lack of education!" Wei Bao said coldly: "Come on stage!" ”
"Who do you say lacks education? Lao Tzu will wait for the next punch to kill you, and discipline you well for your father! Wu Sangui scolded angrily! If it weren't for the fact that Wei Bao had a lot of attendants standing beside him, he didn't want to make a fuss before the competition, otherwise he would really rush over and beat Wei Bao immediately.
Wei Bao scolded Wu Sangui this time, and he scolded him in public, which is equivalent to scolding the adults of the Wu family, even with close relatives like the ancestral family.
Zu Kefa said beside Zu Dashou: "Dad, do you see it?" This man is so arrogant that he doesn't take us seriously at all! ”
Zu Dashou snorted coldly, "What is there to worry about with a dying person?" ”
Wu Xiang did not speak.
Wu Sanfeng, who was behind Wu Xiang, hurriedly flattered: "What my uncle said is that this Wei Bao is a dying person!" However, the large piece of land in his hand is really good, and Wei Bao's trading shops in various places are also good. ”
Zu Dashou smiled slightly and touched the short beard under his cheeks.
Wu Sangui began to climb into the ring.
Wei Bao took off his shirt and stood in a corner, and was sent into the ring by a plank pulled by his subordinates with a fixed pulley.
The purpose of taking off his shirt is to show that he has no weapons hidden on his body, because the two sides agree to compete with his fists and feet, and if he competes with weapons, he does not need to take off his clothes.
Everyone saw Wei Bao's body, although it was not thin, but it was obviously loose, and those who practiced martial arts and those who did not practice martial arts could tell the difference between their bodies at a glance.
Wei Bao's body provoked all the people who made the bet, and with a burst of joyful sighs and ridicule, they all thought that they had won.
Wu Sangui climbed the ring, he was not very happy, he was angry in his heart, although he couldn't climb up a few times, but after all, the climbing posture was not good-looking, like a monkey climbing a tree, and said angrily to Wei Bao: "There is something coming up, why don't you say it?" ”
Wei Bao came first, and looked coldly at Wu Sangui who climbed into the ring: "It's you who are stupid!" ”
"Death!" Wu Sangui scolded angrily, stood up straight, looked under the ring, felt a little high, and felt a little empty in his heart.
Wu Sangui is full of confidence in defeating Wei Bao! He still only regards Wei Bao as a person who doesn't know martial arts, because not only has he used to fight with Wei Bao, but Wu Xuexia has also worked with Wei Bao, and he knows that Wei Bao is not even as good as an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts.
He beats Wei Bao like a tiger eating a pheasant.
But Wu Sangui was a little afraid of heights, which was not what Wei Bao could think of before.
Wei Bao instantly discovered this, and while putting the two stimulant capsules in his mouth and chewing, he looked at Wu Sangui and smiled: "How is it?" Afraid of heights? Afraid of high availability surrender! If you fall down, it will be miserable. ”
"I'm afraid of your mother's legs!" Wu Sangui no longer looked below, put on a Shaolin faction's hard work starting style, aimed at Wei Bao and rushed over steadily.
All eyes were on the ring, and the line of sight from below was not very good, but the ring was not big, and it was still possible to see the general situation.
Wu Sangui launched this, and everyone couldn't help but start shouting and cheering!
Wei Bao swallowed the stimulant capsule, and there was a reaction at that time, after turning sideways to avoid Wu Sangui's first attack, not only was his mind stable, but he forced himself not to think about the seven or eight thousand army that his ancestors had gotten, and focused his attention on the opponent.
There seems to be a domineering spirit rising in my heart, and I only feel a mighty murderous aura surging all over my body, it seems that at this moment, I am really a martial arts master, and no one is afraid! I feel so strong all over my body, not only do I not know that I am tired, but I don't even know that I am in pain.
Although Wu Sangui didn't hit Wei Bao just now, he had a little physical contact with Wei Bao, and the fist wind was brought to Wei Bao, and he was going to be able to knock Wei Bao out of the ring with one blow, but he saw Wei Bao standing not far away and put on a defensive posture.
"Do you know martial arts?" Wu Sangui looked at Wei Bao in surprise.
The audience at the bottom was also surprised and discussed.
"Didn't you say that Wei Bao hadn't practiced martial arts?"
"Wei Bao can actually dodge Wu Sangongzi's fists and kicks?"
"Wei Bao's movements are quite skillful, huh?"
This surprising discovery made everyone think that it was a competition that could be prepared to start cashiering at the beginning, which was different.
"What's going on?" Zu Dashou frowned, looked at Wu Xiang, and looked reproachful: "Didn't you say that Wei Bao doesn't know martial arts?" ”
"It was Sangui and Xuexia who told me, and Sanfu also said that Wei Bao didn't know martial arts." Wu Xiang hurriedly defended: "They are all from the same academy as Wei Bao. ’
Wu Sanfu hurriedly said, "Maybe it was only learned in the past two days, right?" ”
"Learned? A person who has only studied for a few days can fight in the ring with Sangui? Zu Dashou clenched his relaxed fist all of a sudden, and continued to stare at Wu Sangui and Wei Bao in the ring suspiciously.
