Chapter 305: Wait and see
"How?" Mao Chengzuo didn't wait for a few cronies who came back to finish the salute, so he asked eagerly.
"Old, sir, it's true. There are captives all over the place! There may be, there are thousands. The leader of the family stammered.
"And seven or eight hundred slain horses! The captives were full of armor and weapons thrown all over the ground. Another cronie Jia Ding reported.
"It seems that what they said about this black dog is true? The dead are really full of captives, right? Mao Chengzuo still dared to believe it.
"Sir, it's true. It's definitely a corpse full of dogs! The leader of the family replied firmly.
"Then we have to hurry up. Tell Lao Tzu that Vice General Huang will come immediately, let's hurry up! Mao Chengzuo suddenly made up his mind.
So many armors, weapons, and dead horses are all good things. It is useful to have food and clothing, but you have to hurry up. It's late, and I don't know who picked it up.
After a few moments, Huang Long hurried over. At first, he still didn't believe it. However, after listening to the detailed explanations of the family members, he finally chose to believe it.
Two people have already seen it with their own eyes, can there still be a fake? Besides, if you want to kill good and take risks, you can't afford to take so many war horses and weapons and armor.
In the end, the two decided that Huang Long personally led 1,500 people to clean up the battlefield.
On 19 August, Huang Long led 1,500 soldiers of the Dongjiang Army back with a large load of small bags. More than 1,300 sets of armor and armor were collected, more than 1,700 weapons were collected, more than 1,400 heads were beheaded, and hundreds of pieces of horse meat were carried back.
This time, the Dongjiang Army is really fattening.
"So many things, then the Dengzhou Army doesn't want it? And there are so many full heads, and they don't want it either? Mao Chengzuo looked at the dense things piled up in the camp, and he still didn't believe it.
"yes, there must be some joints in this!" Huang Long also grabbed his head and said.
Not to mention anything else, so many full captives were sent up, it was a shocking achievement! Could it be that the general of the Dengzhou army is a fool?
But if you really have to be a fool, can you win such a big battle? After discussing it, the two decided to call Black Dog and Big Tiger and others to ask again.
"I've wronged you. That's exactly what happened. This time, I will give you the first credit. Wait until you go to the account office and get ten taels of silver. Mao Chengzuo was also very embarrassed to lock up a few black dogs.
"Tell me, what else did the general of the Dengzhou Army say?" Huang Long asked from the side.
None of them are three-year-olds anymore, and they will not believe the pie in the world anyway.
"Oh, and two more letters." The black dog hurriedly took out the letter handed over to him by Long Duan and Wang Rui's order.
The first thing Mao Chengzuo opened was Wang Rui's military order silk. I saw that it was written: "Wang Ruijun, the loyal uncle of the Ming Dynasty and the general of the expedition to the east: The soldiers of the Dongjiang River, who are on the front line of resistance against captives, have fought bloodily for many years, which is still valuable." Your unit is hereby ordered to immediately accept the command of Bember. All of them should be supplied with money, food, weapons, and armor by Bemb. Those who violate the order should not be unprepared. This order, Wang Rui. ”
"This, this...... This is too damn overbearing! How could he say that? After reading Wang Rui's so-called Jun order, Mao Chengzuo couldn't help but blush with anger.
Lao Tzu, Dongjiang Town, has no affiliation with your Dengzhou Town at all, why do you want to command us with a thin piece of silk?
If you come to annex it with such an open fire, don't you talk about the regulations of the imperial court? Which green onion is Wang Rui in Dengzhou Town? I've never heard of it before!
"What's going on?" Huang Long saw that Mao Chengzuo was angry, and hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand, and at the same time took Sijuan, who had written the order, into his hand.
"I see! Bastard! He Wang Rui is really full of burps, what a big breath! After Huang Long read it, he was also very angry. Is there anything more domineering and arrogant?
Although he was angry, Mao Chengzuo still held back the anger in his heart and read Wang Rui's "Letter to the Brothers of the Dongjiang Army" carefully.
"Brother of the Dongjiang Army: Rui Wen sinned against Yuan Thief and betrayed the country, killed Mao Shuai to seek peace, and often grieved and cried. A few days ago, a certain commander had tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 10,000 captives. Now to Liaodong, I hope that the generals of the Dongjiang Army will send people to take a look. Look at my Dengzhou athletes, killing captives like pigs and dogs, thinking that Mao Shuai is revenge......"
To sum it up, I Wang Rui is very good, and my army is the first in the world, so you have to listen to me. Unbelief? I'll show you!
Of course, he also said that it was to avenge Mao Shuai. However, between the lines, there is still a domineering leakage that can't be hidden.
"I'm going to invite Mr. Zhang!" Mao Chengzuo commanded.
This lifter is a person from Liaodong, who once won the lifter when he was young. After the rebellion, he was unwilling to be enslaved by Hulu, so he fled to the Dongjiang River with his family.
Because he is well-informed and understands the situation in Manchu, he can often give Mao Chengzuo very pertinent opinions, so he has always been very relied on by Mao Chengzuo.
After a while, Zhang Juren came as ordered. After listening to the introductions of Mao Chengzuo and Huang Long, he read the two documents again, and sighed: "I have such a heroic teacher in the Ming Dynasty, why should I suffer from the disaster of the Tartars?" I really don't know why I didn't call this Dengzhou army to Liao to participate in the war before! ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone couldn't understand why Daming suddenly appeared with such an army. So strong, so domineering and unreasonable!
Well, or lawlessness! How can it be said that ordering Dongjiang Town to obey orders is the language of this document, and it is very unregulated.
However, the combat power of the Dengzhou army was placed in front of everyone. I also called everyone to see. What to do? Does he listen to this military order or not?
"Sir, how should I deal with Dongjiang?" Mao Chengzuo bowed slightly.
"Wait and see!" Zhang Juren shook the feather fan in his hand and said. Hehe, maybe this ancient literati loved to pretend to be Zhuge Kongming.
"Oh, how do you wait and see what happens? Please sir teach me! Huang Long also bowed.
"Huh!" Zhang Juren finished pretending, and then he said his idea in detail: "According to the students, you can report this matter to the rest of the island army first, and then there will be a unified response." First of all, send some people who are close to the confidants to see the real combat strength of the Dengzhou army. ”
"As for these seizures, we not only have to accept them, but also send people to the court to report their merits. With the great merit of capturing thousands of captives, it is not easy to think that loyal uncle will annex our Dongjiang Army by himself. The adults of the court will not allow it easily. ”
"What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, so he will follow Mr.'s plan." Mao Chengzuo and Huang Long both nodded yes.
I have to say that Zhang Juren's response is indeed very skillful. Not to offend the Dengzhou army, who was coaxed by cowhides, he also took the initiative to find a way out for himself.
On the second day, Mao Chengzuo and Huang Long sent people to other islands to report the news. At the same time, several ships were sent to transport the captives' first-class flags to report to the imperial court.
The arrangements were made, and Mao Chengzuo and Huang Long, who were in a very happy mood, stayed together to drink and chat.
In the middle of the Zhishen period, a family member came to report: "Master, it's not good!" Of the three boats sent to repay the merits, one boat has returned! ”
"These dogs, what are you going to do?" Mao Chengzuo stood up suddenly.
