Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Slap in the Face
Siltai watched his armor soldiers fall into the siege of the Ming army, and his heart was anxious for a while, if this continued, his armor soldiers would be wiped out.
He couldn't fight like this anymore, he looked at the tall banner in the distance, and recognized the general who made them hate it.
Siltai roared angrily on his horse: "Warriors of the Eight Banners, kill the Ming Dog with your master!" ”
Siertai didn't pay attention to the armored soldiers who were already under siege, but took the most elite 50 white-armored soldiers around him to kill Zhang Dou.
If he can kill Zhang Dou, the chief general of the Ming army, there is still a possibility of turning the tables. At this moment, there was no one else in Siltai's eyes, and his pupils were full of Zhang Dou's figure.
Zhang Dou has always been guarded by the most elite veterans of the Changxing Army, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the white armor soldiers of the Jurchens rushing towards them.
Under Zhang Dou's order, 50 firecrackers were quickly separated from the guards and stood in an array of three-stage strikes. They weren't the rookies of the recruits in front of them, and looking at the Jurchens who rushed over so stupidly, these veterans all smiled contemptuously.
As soon as the Jurchens entered the range of 60 paces, the veterans fired the fire in their hands. Their firearms are much more accurate than the rookies, and by the time they finish a round of three blows, there are less than 20 white-armored soldiers who can charge on their horses.
But Siltai's nightmare was not over, and the veteran's reload speed was not affected in the slightest by the charge of the white-armored soldiers. Everyone calmly loaded, then aimed and shot, as if they had just hit a running pig.
In the end, Syltai could not get close to Zhang Dou, and he was killed in the charge before he could reach a distance of 30 paces. Three buckshot bullets hit him at the same time, two in the chest and abdomen that almost tore his internal organs to pieces.
The buckshot that hit his neck almost knocked his head off his body, leaving only a bit of flesh still attached to his shoulder.
Looking at the corpses of Jiannu all over the ground, the victorious Changxing army cheered. Many recruits shed tears of excitement, they never thought that the fierce and vicious Jiannu would be wiped out by them so easily.
At this moment, they were really proud of being a member of the Changxing Army, and they could also walk on the street in the future and raise their heads and say to people: "Lao Tzu killed all the Jiannu in a dignified manner!" ”
Looking at the excited soldiers, Zhang Dou knew that the Changxing Army had become!
Dengzhou Governor Yamen, Yuan Keli sat behind the bookcase with an impatient expression on his face, listening to the two people in front of him constantly scratching.
These two have been his governor yamen for almost half a month, and they come to him on time every day for an hour.
It was all the same words, which made him focus on the overall situation and let him put the Ming army on Changsheng Island under the unified command of Jiliao.
Today, these two people are here again, and Yuan Keli really can't bear it. He was tired of the two people in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and it was the first time he had encountered such a shameless fight for credit.
"Liqing! It's not that we don't want the jurisdiction of Immortal Island, but that the garrison Zhang Dou is really arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in his eyes. How could such a person allow him to hold such an important position on Immortal Island? This person has bad scheming and bad conduct, if he takes refuge in Jiannu in the future, it will be very disadvantageous to Liqing, and the lower officials think it is better to remove him! ”
Yuan Keli sneered at Xiong Tingbi who was speaking, and said in his heart: The main drama is finally here, and after spending so many days in their own place, this is their real purpose.
Without asking Yuan Keli, he could guess that Sun Chengzong must have seen the important location of Changsheng Island and wanted to reach out to pick peaches, but was pushed back by Zhang Dou. These two people are unwilling to fail, and they run to themselves to tell right and wrong, if they believe their nonsense, they will be blind!
Looking at Xiong Tingbi who was spitting everywhere, Yuan Keli said: "Feibai! Zhang Dou still understands this person, although he is younger. But this person still has real talent and learning, and he has the courage to be unsuitable. Zhang Dou Neng Wen Nengwu is indeed the best candidate to garrison Changsheng Island! ”
Hearing Yuan Keli praise Zhang Dou like this, Yuan Chonghuan felt unhappy for a while. Why did that martial artist get such praise, he Yuan Chonghuan is the best talent. These honors and compliments should be given to him, why can that martial artist be above him.
Thinking of this, he said, "Your Excellency! That Zhang Dou has been stationed on Changsheng Island for more than two months, and he is deeply favored by the emperor but does not want to forge ahead. The daily food consumption is not calculated but there is no inch of work, let me ask if such a person is really the person who can be civil and martial as adults say? ”
"This! ......" Yuan Keli was choked by Yuan Chonghuan for a while, and his heart couldn't help but become angry.
Jiannu is not something that can be killed by the homeless people, just relying on Zhang Dou's 500 soldiers and the newly recruited Liao people to defend Changsheng Island is a great achievement.
If Zhang Dou is asked to make achievements again, it will be difficult for a strong man, but now Yuan Chonghuan is talking about this matter, isn't this saying that he Yuan Keli doesn't know anyone, and slapped him Yuan Keli in the face?
Looking at Yuan Keli, whose face was gloomy, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly came out to play a round.
"Liqing, don't care about the words of the elements. The element is also a good intention, please don't mind! Xiong Tingbi said.
Xiong Tingbi's words did not make Yuan Chonghuan relent, he continued: "I think that Zhang Dou must have sold all the food and salary given to him by the imperial court to the merchants, and Yuan Mou was just teaching a merchant on the island, and he was beaten and killed by the love of the adults more than 10 guards. This beloved general of the adult is really loyal! ”
Listening to Yuan Chonghuan's yin and yang strange words, Yuan Keli could no longer suppress his anger. He couldn't help but get up and said, "The old superintendent of Sun Ge is in Liaodong, and he spends millions of dollars every year, but I don't know what the results are?" ”
Hearing that someone was angrily scolding his teacher Sun Chengzhong, Yuan Chonghuan's black face suddenly turned red. He also stood up and roared, "Bold! Sun Ge is not a governor who can comment at will! ”
Yuan Keli's words poked Yuan Chonghuan's wounds, and he and his teacher had to spend millions of taels of silver every year to build Tunpu City.
This practice was widely criticized by the imperial court, and they were not fighting, they were simply smashing people with silver.
Daming's already unbearable finances have made their masters and apprentices toss to the bottom, if it goes on like this, Daming can only rely on borrowing to survive.
Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan wanted to get his hands on Changsheng Island and sneak attack Jiannu in the hinterland of Liaodong. At least make some moves to show the court, their master and apprentice are not losers who only spend money to smash people.
Yuan Keli glanced at Yuan Chonghuan with disdain and said, "This official can't talk about Sun Ge Lao, then you can dictate in front of the old man with a small county order?" ”
Yuan Keli finally gave Yuan Chonghuan a perfect blow. He clearly told Yuan Chonghuan that you are just a seventh-grade county commander, and you are not qualified to be rash in front of him, a second-grade feudal official.
"You! ~......" Yuan Chonghuan, who was blushing and thick-necked, rolled his eyes in anger, he had never been so humiliated since he followed his teacher Sun Chengzong.
Even if he is arrogant, most people look at Sun Chengzong's face and let him score three points. was reprimanded by Yuan Keli in person today, and he felt that he had been humiliated. Just as he was about to say cruel words to save face, an attendant rushed in from outside.
The man shouted as he walked, "Master! Master! Great victory! Liaodong victory! Zhang Dou's garrison completely annihilated 800 armor soldiers in Jinzhou Siltai, and the captured weapons and armor were not counted!! ”
Hearing this person's shout, Yuan Chonghuan's face turned pale. He just accused Zhang Dou of doing nothing, and was immediately pulled back by Zhang Dou's mouth.
Yuan Keli couldn't help but laugh when he heard the shouts of the messenger!
"Zhang Dou is really capable of literature and martial arts, and he is really a fierce general! I wonder if Lord Yuan has any objections? ”
Yuan Chonghuan snorted coldly, turned around and left. At this moment, he has no face to stay in Dengzhou, his face has been swollen, will he continue to be pumped by others if he doesn't leave?
When he came to the gate of the governor's yamen, he saw the cart transporting the loot, and looking at the pile of tall Jiannu heads, Yuan Chonghuan's heart was crazy jealous.
"Zhang Dou Xiaoer, let you be arrogant for a while! I, Yuan Chonghuan, will definitely get ahead, and I will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the power of the Ming Dynasty, and then it will be the death of your martial artist! ”
