Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 2 Rampant Qilu

Chapter 1 Overcoming Hardships and Adventures to Seek a Way Home

Section 6 100 households Cheng Shiyong

Early the next morning, the school field in Haizhou City.

Since he led the army back to Liaoyang, first because he learned that Xu Wanxin was killed, and then learned that there was no battle to kill the emperor Taiji, the successive blows caused Liu Yunwei to faint in two angry attacks, so that his body has been a little weak. Although he has been taking the warm tonic decoction prescribed by the medical officer, Liu Yunwei still feels that his body is recovering too slowly, so he gets up before dawn in the past few days, running, punching and beating his body in the barracks.

Early this morning, Liu Yunwei had just returned to the house after boxing, when a soldier came to report: "Little General Qiqi, someone outside the school field asked to see him, saying that he was our guide." ”

When Liu Yunwei heard this, he said with a smile: "It must be Cheng Baihu who is here, please invite him in." ”

After a while, Cheng Shiyong followed the soldiers to Liu Yunwei's room.

Liu Yunwei took a closer look at Cheng Shiyong, and saw that he was not tall, his appearance was very ordinary, he belonged to the kind of people who would be thrown away if he was put in the crowd, he looked very honest, but his figure was very burly.

"It's Cheng Baihu, right?" Liu Yunwei said with a smile.

"The villain is Cheng Shiyong, and now the villain is no longer a hundred households, and the villain handed over his resignation to Shangguan yesterday evening and quit."

Liu Yunwei said: "So that's the case, then I will call Cheng Baihu Brother Cheng, and this time the matter of raising sea ships is thanks to Brother Cheng." ”

Cheng Shiyong was not good at words, but when he saw that Liu Yunwei was very polite to him, he only felt a little uncomfortable, and said: "The little general doesn't need to be polite to me, and I didn't have much effort." ”

Liu Yunwei became interested when he heard this, pulled Cheng Shiyong to sit down together, and asked with a smile: "More than 2,000 soldiers of my Hanwei battalion want to go to sea by boat, and they need at least more than ten big sea ships, and it hasn't taken much effort?" Brother Cheng is so big. ”

Although Cheng Shiyong knew that Liu Yunwei was joking with himself, he still blushed and said: "The little general doesn't know, the maritime merchant I am looking for is named Qian Mingli, known as Qian Daguanren, and this person is the richest man in Lushun City. Qian Daguan's family has dozens of large sea ships, and he travels back and forth between Liaodong and Jiangnan all the year round to do business, and it is said that he also has business dealings with Hongyi (the general name of the Ming Dynasty for Westerners such as Portugal and the Dutch), so this matter is not a problem for him. As soon as I found Qian Daguan and told him about the matter, he agreed to it, so I didn't make too much effort. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yunwei is a little strange, aren't ordinary businessmen mercenary? Why did you agree so happily to such a thankless task of transporting officers and soldiers? So he asked: "Then the big official directly agreed?" What conditions were not mentioned? ”

"Nope."

Liu Yunwei asked strangely: "Why is the big official Qian so easy to talk to?" Even if his family doesn't care about this money, he shouldn't have agreed so happily. ”

Cheng Shiyong said: "The little general doesn't know, and the story is long. The wealth in the family of this rich official is not inherited by the family, but earned by himself. Qian Daguan was poor since childhood, and when he grew up, he followed the elders of the clan to the sea to make a living, and later made a fortune on this sea, which is why he has today's family background. The old father and brothers and sisters of the family followed the villagers of the same village to flee the famine because they were too far away from home for more than ten years, and they rarely came back because of the famine. Since then, this good man has hated Jiannu to the core, so as soon as he heard that he was looking for a sea ship for the little general who beat Jiannu, he agreed and didn't want a penny. ”

Liu Yunwei was silent after hearing this, this trouble of building slaves has long existed, and today it has become a monstrous disaster, I don't know when it will be eradicated, and how many lives of the sons of the Han family will have to be sacrificed.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei said: "This Qian official is so righteous, I deserve it." In the final analysis, it is the failure of the officials and the army to protect the territory and the people that has allowed these human tragedies to occur frequently, and has made Jiannu rampant to this day, so that it has become more and more intense! ”

Cheng Shiyong just lowered his head and sighed, but did not answer.

At this time, Yuan Mingxuan, Lu Ying and others all entered the house, and Liu Yunwei saw that everyone was coming, so he introduced Cheng Shiyong to everyone. Cheng Shiyong looked very nervous when he saw Lu Ying, Wu Xing and others, as if he had been listening to the book for many days and finally saw the hero in the book, so he only cared about saluting Lu Ying and Wu Xing, and couldn't say a polite word.

Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wen Poyu also returned the salute one by one, and pulled Cheng Shiyong to start calling him a brother.

Yuan Mingxuan smiled and nodded, even if he had said hello, after all, the two had known each other for a long time.

After some politeness, Liu Yunwei ordered someone to bring breakfast into the house, eat with everyone, and discuss the route to Lushun by the way.

After a while, several soldiers brought breakfast in, and everyone ate a hot breakfast, and the soldiers next to them opened a map of Liaodong and put it on the table and went out.

Liu Yunwei glanced at the map and said: "Brother Cheng, I have discussed with Lord Yuan and others before, after passing Haizhouwei, the army will go to Yingkou, Gaizhouwei, Yulinpu, Xiongyueyi, Fuxian, Xinjin, Jinzhouwei, and finally arrive at Lushun, I don't know what Brother Cheng's suggestions for this route?" ”

Cheng Shiyong thought for a while and said, "Little general, my lords, there is nothing wrong with this route, but there are too many cities passing through, which will delay time very much." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and even Yuan Mingxuan was stunned.

Liu Yunwei said strangely: "Isn't this bad? After passing through the city, we can not only rest well, but also be able to replenish grain and grass in time, is there anything wrong? ”

Cheng Shiyong said: "The truth is true, but everyone also knows that Liaodong is not as good as Guannei, in the cities we passed, except for the relatively large acropolis such as Gaizhou Wei and Jinzhou Wei, the rest of the small castles have no food and grass savings to replenish us." Therefore, if we march along this route, we will not only not be able to replenish grain and grass in time, but will be delayed for a lot of time. ”

After Cheng Shiyong's explanation, everyone suddenly realized. Yuan Mingxuan said even more regretfully: "I miscalculated, I didn't expect this, it was my dereliction of duty." ”

Liu Yunwei waved his hand and said, "Lord Yuan's words are serious, didn't we all think of it, don't you care, let's just adjust the route in time." Brother Cheng, do you have any suggestions? ”

Cheng Shiyong nodded, put down the porridge bowl in his hand and walked to the table, looked at the map carefully for a while, and then said: "Let's take a little detour and take the route of Yingkou, Gaizhouwei, Yongning Jiancheng, Fuxian, Jinzhouwei, and Lushun." ”

Everyone put down their breakfast and gathered around, and looked at it in the order of Cheng Shiyong's fingers, only to see that the cities in this route are relatively large, which should be able to ensure the timely supply of grain and grass; And there are no mountains or rivers between each city, which is suitable for the rapid march of large armies. Therefore, although this route is a little farther away, it must be much faster than the previously planned route.

"Big brother, I think this route is very good." Lu Ying said.

Wen Poyu was born at night, and he also agreed with this route very much, and said: "That's right, and you should be able to save a lot of time." ”

The rest of the group agreed.

Liu Yunwei saw that everyone agreed to adopt this route, so he said: "Okay, let's go south according to Brother Cheng's route." Break the captivity, pass the order, let the soldiers hurry up and have breakfast, and the army will set off for the south at three o'clock. ”

Wen Poyu answered, and went out to give the order.

After that, Liu Yunwei said: "Brother Cheng, I think that since you have resigned from the position of one hundred households, it is better to follow me to Sichuan." ”

Cheng Shiyong originally had this intention, but he was embarrassed to speak, but when he saw Liu Yunwei taking the initiative to mention it, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then I will follow the little general." ”

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Since Brother Cheng agreed, let's be wronged first and be a hundred presidents under Li Tianhao." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei glanced at Li Tianhao, Li Tianhao smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother, my subordinates are just short of people, and it is best for Brother Cheng to come over." ”

Cheng Shiyong hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said: "Little General, General Li, rest assured, I will definitely serve well before and after the saddle in the future." ”

Liu Yunwei said: "What is effective or not, in the future, everyone will be comrades, brothers of life and death who want to go into battle together to kill the enemy, I don't need you to be loyal to me, I just want the brothers to be able to treat me with all sincerity." ”

Cheng Shiyong listened to Liu Yunwei's words, his heart was very warm, he had never heard Shangguan say such a thing in Haizhou Wei all these years. Cheng Shiyong secretly said in his heart: "I really lived in vain before, and I haven't met a senior official like the little general until now, and my life will be handed over to the little general in the future." ”

Although he thought a lot in his heart, Cheng Shiyong couldn't say it, but he was very moved and stood there with his fists hugging again and again.

Liu Yunwei patted Cheng Shiyong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Cheng, let Tianhao take you to get familiar with it first, and we'll set off in a while." ”

Cheng Shiyong nodded and said, "Please rest assured, I will make more achievements and follow you to fight in all directions." ”

At this time, Li Tianhao came over and dragged Cheng Shiyong and said: "Go, go, let me tell you, our master is always a great achievement......

The two walked out of the house as they spoke, and Liu Yunwei said to the others in the house: "Okay, you guys also go and pack up, and we'll set off in a while." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Mingxuan, Lu Ying and the others were about to leave with their fists in salute, only to see Wen Poyu enter the house again and said, "Big brother, it's a good thing, Zhao Shoubei sent us the grain and grass that he promised, and now it is outside the school grounds." ”

Liu Yunwei laughed and said, "Okay! , I was just angry, and I wanted to compete with Zhao Shoubei, but I didn't expect Zhao Shoubei to keep his promise. Break the captive, send someone over to thank you. ”

Wen Poyu smiled and said, "Haha, okay." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei and everyone went out of the house together, and saw that the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion were ready to go, and they were assembling in the school field, and more than 2,000 tiger warriors were wearing helmets and armor, and Liu Yunwei was excited: "These soldiers are the seeds of my future development and growth, and they are the blades of revenge against Jiannu in the future!" ”
