Chapter 516 This is the battlefield
Jiang Pengju led more than a dozen people to stop the pirates, and a platoon leader took this opportunity to organize the team,.。
At this time, the pirates finally lost the courage to fight, just now Zhen Hailong used coercion and lure to organize more than 100 people, and now the musket rang out again and completely shattered the courage of the pirates, and the remaining more than 50 pirates scattered like birds and beasts, fled into the mountains.
Jiang Pengju, who was covered in blood, returned to his team, the wave of pirate raids just now caused a lot of losses to his side, Jiang Pengju glanced at more than ten brothers lying down. Jiang Pengju found Zhu Jiang in the crowd and saw that Zhu Jiang was covered in blood, but he was not injured, Jiang Pengju breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this master was fine.
The blood on Zhu Jiang's body was not his, and a pirate rushed into the queue during the melee just now, probably seeing Zhu Jiang looking tall and big, he felt like a veteran, and he was stabbing at Zhu Jiang.
Zhu Jiang had not been in the army for a total of two months, and when he saw this formation, he was stupid when he saw the pirate rushing to himself. Just as the pirate's knife was about to slash at Zhu Jiang's body, Song Li rushed out from the side and blocked the fatal knife for Zhu Jiang.
Seeing Song Li fall in his arms, Zhu Jiang hurriedly hugged Song Li, and saw that this knife split Song Li from his shoulder and split half of his body, it seemed that Song Li could not live.
Zhu Jiang grabbed Song Li's hand and didn't know what to say, but he didn't expect that a friend who had just made a month would be able to sacrifice his life to save himself at a critical time.
Song Li grabbed Zhu Jiang's hand and said, "Your Majesty King Qin, my subordinates are secret agents in the army, and I have finally completed the order to protect King Qin on the orders of the emperor!" ”
Zhu Jiang didn't expect that he would have the eyes and ears of his father in a place like a pig farm, and asked, "Song Li, what did you say?" You were sent by your father? ”
Song Li smiled and said in a low voice: "Yes, I can die, King Qin can't die, this is His Majesty's order!" If King Qin has something, my whole family will accompany King Qin to the funeral! Well, now that I'm dead, my family finally doesn't have to die! ”
"Song Li! Song Li! You can't die, your family is there, I'm going to give them money! ”
Song Li's words just now have returned to the light, and now that his strength has been exhausted, Song Li has already swallowed.
Jiang Pengju came over and grabbed Zhu Jiang, looked up and down to see that it was okay, Jiang Pengju breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said to the deputy company commander: "These pirates are demoralized, you take the musket team to destroy them!" The deputy company commander was ordered to take people down to clear the remaining pirates, and at this time, a platoon leader came over, and he suffered several knife wounds on his body, but he didn't care, but said with a smile: "My lord, now that I have the great achievement of exterminating the pirates, my lord can be reinstated!" ”
Jiang Pengju sighed, glanced at Zhu Jiang, who was sitting on the side in a daze, and said in his heart: The hope of official reinstatement is still on this King of Qin!
Zhu Jiang was frightened stupid by Song Li's death, he didn't expect that an unfamiliar person would be able to save himself at all costs, why is this?
When Zhu Jiang woke up, he had been sitting here for half an hour, and the surrounding soldiers did not bother him when they got Jiang Pengju's order, and now they saw Zhu Jiang wake up, and said: "The fourth platoon commander, the company commander said, you wake up and let you go to the beach!" ”
Zhu Jiang nodded, stood up and walked through the woods to the beach.
The seaside has now become a slaughterhouse, and the deputy company commander has caught more than 200 pirates, and now they are kneeling on the seashore in unison, their company commander Jiang Peng is holding a bare shoulder, holding a guillotine, and is cutting off the heads of these pirates one by one.
Jiang Peng raised a knife to cut off a pirate's head, stepped on the pirate's trembling body with his foot, and let the blood spray onto the beach, this appearance reminded Zhu Jiang of their pig farm killing pigs, but one was disemboweling and the other was beheaded.
More than 100 of the more than 200 pirates on the beach have been cut down, and more than 50 have not been cut, crying and begging for mercy.
Jiang Pengju saw Zhu Jiang coming, and grinned: "Your Highness, have you woken up?" What do you think? Do you also try to cut off your head? Very cool! ”
Zhu Jiangqiang shook his head with disgust and asked, "These pirates have already surrendered, why do you want to kill them?" ”
Jiang Pengju frowned, put down the guillotine, waved at the long row standing on the side, and the long line sent a bamboo tube filled with water, Jiang Pengju drank it all, and then said to Zhu Jiang: "Your Highness, this is the battlefield, our brothers were killed by these guys more than ten times, if I don't kill them, how can I explain to my dead brothers?" Didn't a friend of yours, named Song, die to save you? ”
Hearing Jiang Pengju mention Song Li, Zhu Jiang said angrily: "He is his father's secret agent, if he doesn't save me, his whole family will die, he didn't really save me for me, he was afraid of my father!" After Zhu Jiang finished speaking, he squatted down and cried bitterly.
Seeing Zhu Jiang like this, Jiang Pengju waved his hand to let the platoon leader stay away, Jiang Pengju also squatted down and said: "Your Highness, you have not been an ordinary person since the day you were born, do you think that you will be fine in the future if you leave the barracks and give the prince an indisputable position?" Can the prince let you go, can the prince's subordinates let you go? Your mother, your uncle, and your grandfather, do you think the prince can let them go? Save your one called Song Li, do you think he can be unlucky if something happens to you? I! My family! Zhang Bao! Zhang Bao's family! We're all going to bury you, do you know how important you are? You are still as high-spirited as a child, do you know how many people have been unlucky with you when you return to Guangdong to be the prince of peace? ”
Zhu Jiang didn't expect that his idea of going back to be the prince of Taiping would be so implicated, he asked: "I go back to Guangdong to be my prince, what does it have to do with you?" ”
Jiang Pengju shook his head and said, "Your Highness, do you think this is a playhouse?" It's okay if you don't come out to join the army, you continue to be your prince of peace, but now that you are on the ship, you have made it look like you want to fight for the prince, this road is not something you can retreat if you want to. Your Royal Highness, you read a lot, do you see what happens after the failure of the man who stood up for the crown prince? So since you have taken the beginning of this road, the following is not the end you want to end! ”
Zhu Jiang stood up and wiped his tears, and asked, "Jiang Pengju, why do you want to help me?" ”
Jiang Pengju heard Zhu Jiang ask, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Royal Highness, the prince is supported by the second master of the Ma family, and he is surrounded by literati, but I am a martial artist, I used to be a military household in Henan, I know how low the status of these military households was during the Taiping period. I don't want our warriors to have no status after the crown prince succeeds to the throne as in the past, so I hope that His Royal Highness will ascend the throne and give justice to our warriors! ”
After Zhu Jiang heard Jiang Pengju finish speaking, he also thought about it, in ancient China, in order to fight for the throne, his brothers could start, since he had already taken this road, he had to go down.
"Jiang Pengju, how many people in the military can support me as the prince?"
"Your Highness, I have only contacted a few people now, Zhang Bao is one, our division commander Zhao Guodong is one, and the others are in contact!"
Zhu Jiang heard Jiang Pengju say this, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go to the end with you and see who can have the last laugh between me and Zhu Hai!" ”
Jiang Pengju was happy when he heard Zhu Jiang promise him, and he stood up and said to Zhu Jiang: "Your Highness, since you want to join the army, practice your courage first!" After speaking, he handed the guillotine in his hand to Zhu Jiang and motioned for him to hack the pirate in front of him to death.
The pirate didn't think he had to die, but he couldn't escape when he saw the way he saw him, so he was so frightened that he kicked around with his bound feet and hands, hoping to stay away from the two murderers.
Zhu Jiang was so frightened when he saw the pirate in front of him that he gritted his teeth and cut off the pirate's head. Zhu Jiang cut off someone's head for the first time, he didn't know the trick at all, this guillotine didn't cut the joint of the neck, but cut the back of the head, the pirate's entire head was chopped up, and the white brain slurled to the ground.
Zhu Jiang couldn't control it anymore when he saw this, and he lay on the side and vomited. Jiang Pengju originally just wanted Zhu Jiang to practice his hands, but when he saw this, he called a platoon leader and asked him to help Zhu Jiang go back. Who knew that Zhu Jiang pushed away a long platoon, picked up the guillotine and ran towards the second pirate.
All the promising monarchs in ancient China have to go through a bloody storm when choosing heirs, mainly because they are too good, these emperors know that their country is not easy to come by, so the requirements for the second generation of heirs are very high, but people are different, some people like to be emperors, some people do not like to be emperors, so naturally the emperor can not be satisfied, so the second generation of monarchs of the ancient Chinese great unified dynasty have to go through a struggle. Needless to say, the Qin Dynasty died; After Liu Bang's death, the Han Dynasty directly killed Empress Lu's entire family; Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was so eloquent and probably made mistakes in the heir; Needless to say, the Xuanwumen changes in the Tang Dynasty were able to kill his own brothers; the sound of the candle shadow axe of Song Taizong in the Song Dynasty; Zhenjin, the crown prince of Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty, was personally executed by him; the Battle of Jingyan in the Ming Dynasty; The Nine Dragons of the Qing Dynasty took the battle for succession to a new height.
It is precisely because Zhu Hongsan knows these stories that he did not let his favorite son Zhu Jiang compete for the throne. But Zhu Hongsan forgot that children also have to grow up. They are all born to a father, and they naturally have the right to inherit, and I am no worse than you, isn't it true that you Zhu Hai can be the prince just a few months earlier than me? With this kind of thinking, coupled with some ministers with various goals in mind, the issue of the heir of the Shenwu Dynasty must be colorful.
When Zhu Jiang and Jiang Pengju reported to Nanjing for the good news of eliminating pirates, Zhu Hongsan was very happy for his son, after all, as a father, he also hoped that his son would become a talent. So Zhu Hong waved his three major strokes and promoted Zhu Jiang to battalion commander and became a middle-level officer. Jiang Pengju was reinstated as a meritorious officer and was transferred to the newly formed 10th Division as deputy division commander, and the division commander was Zhang Bao of the Logistics Department of the 2nd Division, who was also their old acquaintance.
After worrying about the second son, he had to worry about the eldest son, Zhu Hai didn't study well in Wuchang, so he took a concubine without authorization, and also got out the child, which really made Zhu Hongsan angry!
