Chapter 616: The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves
Although the guard system was a system built during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, from the Yongle period, due to the establishment of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, the guard system gradually began to loosen. The three battalions were the most capable forces in the Jingwei and the local guards, and the guards of the government army gradually selected young soldiers of appropriate age from the local guards as reserves, so the soldiers in the guards were not as neat as before. Before and after the three northern expeditions, the soldiers recruited by the local guards were not divided according to the region, but were scattered and arranged under the banners of the leaders and nobles. As a result, even Jingwei, whether it is training equipment or others, is a big step behind Jingying.
And Tongzhou Weizi, which ranks last among the top ten guards in Jingwei, is even worse. Although Mo Yong is a commander, and his military experience is also ten years, he is only a world official, and during the first two northern expeditions, he was too young to accompany him at all, and Tongzhou Wei was not included in the conscription last year, and he did not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
As soon as he met those colleagues who came out to hunt in the woods, he told him about the appointment with Zhang Chao, and the result naturally aroused everyone's hatred and hatred. I thought that taking advantage of the fact that there were many people in the dark, they had occupied a favorable terrain, which could be called the right time, place and people, and they would definitely be able to teach Zhang Chao a hard lesson - Yang Wubo's eldest son is certainly not easy to mess with, but there are also many relatives of the Gonghou Uncle family in their group, and they are not afraid to fight in the ring when the time comes. So, I don't know if anyone instigated it or if someone was bold, but two guys climbed the tree, saying that they were going to shoot two arrows to scare and scare people, and the rest of them went their own way
However, the two guys who were climbing on the tree and shooting arrows missed, and he didn't expect that what would happen next would be a nightmare.
Since it was summer, the trees in the forest were naturally lush, and even during the day, the sunlight was only a little bit of sunlight shining on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, and it was late at this time, and the forest was even darker. Although they were both young men with strong blood, when the two people on the tree issued the secret signal that they had missed archery, some people gradually couldn't stay in this place where there were only birds and insects. In the northeast direction of the forest, a young officer directly took out the flint he was carrying, hit it twice and set it on fire, but before he could see the surrounding environment clearly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and the paper media that had not yet been lit in his hand fell to the ground at once, and he himself only had time to let out an exclamation before he fell.
And that's just the beginning. Since most of the people were scattered in the forest and ambushed, only muffled moans and screams were heard at this time, and each sound made the surviving people tremble. Mo Yong originally had two most trusted subordinates by his side, but in this dark and dangerous environment, he didn't dare to stay where he was, and after stumbling away for a while, he couldn't find his direction at all, and he was separated from people again.
"Ahh
Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Mo Yong became more and more frightened, and almost subconsciously quickened his pace. However, the dark forest was full of stumbling places, and he fell without stepping on it, and immediately turned forward a few times, and by the time he stopped, his head was already dizzy. Before he could come back to his senses, something cold fell across his neck.
Zhang Chao is not like Zhang Yue, who didn't spend much time with his master back then. In the past, the people who were ordered to teach him and Zhang Qi martial arts were also the confidants of the British Gong Zhang Fu, but the two brothers were originally very foundational, so it didn't take long for Zhang Fu to transfer two generals to quell the rebellion with the army, and now they are all thousands of households. Therefore, although he knew that Peng Shisanyi was bold, he still couldn't help but secretly marvel when he saw this guy dragging a person out of the forest for a while.
"Annando woods, and those natives are often elusive, I led a group of selected warriors, what I had to do was to protect the safety of the British Duke all the time, and the woods to drill were much more terrible than this!"
Peng 13 instructed Niu Dang and Zhang Bu to drag all the captives together, clapped his hands again and said: "In this forest to fight, the first important thing is the direction, fortunately, I am a person with a sharp nose, and later I practiced it, and I drilled the forest faster than the locals." The second important thing is all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, fortunately, there are drugs to avoid miasma, I was born bold, so I became a front stander. So, there are very few people in the woods who are my opponents, let alone these unfashionable guys. ”
Hearing Peng Shisan say this, Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing, daring to love that this is really the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Niu Dang and Zhang Bu on the side were full of admiration, thinking that they had fled on the grassland for a few months, and then turned around the border for more than a month, and they were extremely experienced in the wild, but compared with the achievements just now, they were still much worse. At this time, according to Zhang Chao's instructions, Mo Yong was dragged over, and they were afraid that this guy would play tricks, so they held people hostage.
"Zhang Chao, it's a fair and fair competition, you actually play tricks!"
Although he hadn't tasted this set of drilling in the forest for a long time, and tonight was a big victory, Peng Shisan, who was sweating profusely, was naturally in an extremely bad mood. He scolded at the head: "Guangming Lei is a fart, how many people are in ambush in this forest?" Obviously, he can't beat people to win by numbers, and he is embarrassed to put gold on his face. Manly husbands, they don't even want to be cheeky! ”
Zhang Yue didn't care whether these people were despicable or shameless, and when he saw Mo Yong's face flushed, he stopped Peng Shisan, who was about to scold two more sentences, and then asked: "I don't care if you are fighting in a fair and upright way, or you are secretly ambushing and planning to fight more and less, I just ask you, who released the arrow just now?" ”
"Why should I tell you ......?"
"If the matter just now leaks out, you will not only lose your military positions one by one, but also lose your future in this life!" Zhang Yue half-squatted down, and saw that the guys who were tied with straw ropes after being disarmed over there had vaguely woken up, so he said word by word, "The court regulations, the army kills people due to personal grudges, and the first evil is beheaded in addition to the military position, and the servant's staff flows for a hundred and three thousand miles, and because of personal grievances, people are seriously injured, and the rod blames and exiles are different." What are the consequences of releasing arrows rashly, do you not know? ”
After so many years of officialdom, his ability to play an official tone has long been experienced, and he has already memorized the law backwards.
Mo Yong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came to his senses. Lesson after lesson, if things don't make a big fuss, Zhang Chao won't say it outside, but once there are any casualties...... He is different from those officers who have powerful fathers and brothers behind him, and he definitely can't withstand retaliation! After a stirring of sound, he looked over to his companions, and then heard the man in front of him speak.
"In addition, I can tell you one more thing, I am Zhang Yue!"
Although a bunch of people on the ground said that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, they had already woken up at this time, and when they heard this, they were in an uproar. And Mo Yong, who was facing Zhang Yue, saw that people were looking at him for a long time, and couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, so he immediately said hard: "Dare to love you to avenge Zhang Chao!" Even if you are red and purple now, there are rules in the army, if today's events are spread, Zhang Chao will ...... in the future."
"What happened to Zhang Chao in the future?" Zhang Yue grabbed Mo Yong's collar casually, and then said word by word, "There are more than a dozen of you today, how many of us are?" The ambush was attacked by someone, and this spread out, how can this crime be put aside for the time being, is it still my eldest brother who is disgraced? If I really plan to avenge Zhang Chao, just based on tonight's events, you still want to stay in the barracks? They all said that I was in your way and that I was in your way, and that I was going to Warat to avoid the limelight...... Well, that's good! So if I really want to go to Warat, transfer you to accompany you, and guarantee that every credit will be given to you, who will? ”
Zhang Yue raised his voice suddenly, and when he saw that Mo Yong's face suddenly froze, he let go of his hand and stood up: "One by one, they seem to be true, and they don't know how to use their brains!" Although the military attache is different from the civil minister, he is also the pillar of the country, that is, my Zhang family, not because of his military exploits? If it weren't for the bloody battles of our grandfathers and brothers for generations, where would we be in today's peaceful and prosperous world? What's wrong with the hereditary, the hereditary officials also fought back by blood and sweat! But look at what you are now...... Bad martial arts is talent, and you can make up for it by diligence, but you are not productive in fighting on weekdays, and you still want to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions? ”
A group of people were scolded by Zhang Yue and fainted. Although there is no concubine who can inherit the title here, the self-parents are often very strict, and they are not all straw bales. Even if you can't say it, it's impossible to be convinced, but you were not afraid of being haunted before, and now everyone is silent. And Zhang Yue himself knew that it was impossible to dispel everyone's hostility with a few words, and seeing that the nine gates were probably closed when he returned to the city, he said hello to Zhang Chao.
"Big brother, it's not too early, I'll go to Tongzhou and find an inn to deal with it for the night, you and they can go back to the camp." The military regulations are there, and it would be bad if they were to give people a handle. We are brothers, and I won't say a word of thanks, but don't forget that there is also a sister-in-law at home, as well as my pair of nephews and nieces! ”
After saying this, Zhang Yue didn't look at the pile of people on the ground, nodded at Zhang Chao and turned around and got on the horse. Seeing that Peng Shisan and the others were following, he was about to leave as soon as he raised his horsewhip, but then he heard a voice from behind.
"Don't you want to know who shot the arrow? As long as you promise not to transfer us to Warat, I will tell you!" ”
Unexpectedly, before leaving, he could hear such a stupid sentence, Zhang Yue suddenly turned his head in surprise. Seeing that Mo Yong had already stood up and stared straight at him, and the people on the ground not far away were also struggling to get up one by one, he said angrily: "Unless your ability is ten times stronger than now, when you reach the grassland, you won't be able to pass the level of horse thieves alone." It's not the Central Plains, there's no royal law. Even if I really want to go to that hellish place, I won't take a bunch of people to die! As for who shot the arrow, I'm not interested at the moment! ”
Joke, will the arrows these people use for hunting still have no markings? It's easy to find those two fools!
