Wei Gang was grateful. But I am not asking for my family, but for my brother who broke the military discipline last night. Wei Gang disregarded military discipline and led his brothers astray, which was a great crime. Wei Gang is willing to bow to the law, please see the general in front of Wei Gang, let them continue to be by the general's side, go all out to resist the Tartars, and make meritorious contributions, as long as they are not expelled from the army, they will be punished according to the general, so, Wei Gang will die without regrets! ”

These words were sincere, and Huang Ting and his entourage burst into tears, and they all regretted that such a good man did not die on the battlefield. Even Chen Bao swept away his old grievances and had a trace of admiration for his personality: "General Huang, those who do big things are not informal. In my opinion, Wei Gang has the heart to repent, and it is a pity to die under the knife and axe of the execution ground, it is better to pardon him for a way to live, let him wear his guilt and make meritorious contributions, so as to atone for his ......future."

"Nope."

Huang Ting interrupted Chen Bao's words and said categorically: "It's not that Huang is ruthless, but it's actually that the imperial court has strict military discipline, and there is no mercy for killing people to pay for their lives!" ”

Chen Bao disagreed, and said lightly: "This matter is easy, I can choose a prisoner from death row who is similar to Wei Gang's body and face, Li Dai Tao stiffened, and he was escorted to the execution ground to cut off his head with a knife......"

"No! Military law is not child's play! As soon as this case is opened, how can we strictly enforce the law and discipline and control the chaotic army? If the imperial court is to blame, how can Huang Ting suffer the crime? Does Chen Shuai want Huang Ting to repeat Wei Gang's mistakes? ”

Seeing Huang Ting's face turned pale, with a righteous and angry look, Chen Bao was not angry but afraid, and couldn't help but have a trace of awe, and said with some confidence: "Chen ...... Chen is also thinking about General Huang! General Huang doesn't appreciate it, how can he blame Chen? ”

"Chen Shuai, please forgive Huang Ting for his gaffe just now. However, unclear rewards and punishments are taboo for soldiers, and although Chen Shuai's Li Dai Taozhuang's plan saved Wei Gang's life, it also messed up the military discipline of the Daming Town Navy. Chen Shuai is also a battle-hardened general, knowing that the army without military discipline is just a group of rabble, how can he go to the battlefield to drive out the Tartars and recover the lost territory? ”

Chen Bao nodded approvingly, shocked by Huang Ting's resolute attitude.

When Wei Gang heard this, he knew that he was going to die, and after kneeling down on one knee to Chen Bao and Huang Ting, he said: "Chen Shuai, your kindness Wei Gang can only understand in his heart, but even if General Huang doesn't say it, Wei Gang will not accept it." If Chen Shuai's plan is to find someone to die on his behalf, those who know will know that he is giving Wei Gang the opportunity to sacrifice his life for the country, but those who don't know will be Wei Gang greedy for life and afraid of death and stealing his life. Since General Huang looks up to me Wei, how can I implicate General Huang because of greed for life? Wei Gang is willing to die quickly! ”

"Good man, Huang didn't see the wrong person!"

"General Huang is loved, Wei has nothing to repay, and he is ashamed. Please General Huang summon the three armies at the time of execution, Wei Gang is willing to apologize in public, to show the ruthlessness of military law, and to prescribe for those who come after! ”

"Sure enough, he is a true man who values righteousness and neglects his life. General Huang knows heroes with a discerning eye, and Chen Bao is ashamed of himself! ”

"Please General Huang send Wei Gang on the road as soon as possible!"

Huang Ting nodded tearfully.

On the same day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Ting and Chen Bao gathered the three armies and the people of Nanao Island, identified Wei Gang's identity, and beheaded the public.

At this point, Chen Bao finally learned the strictness of military discipline in the imperial court, with such strict military discipline, the combat power of the army must not be weak, Chen Bao's original idea of listening to Xuan and not listening to the tune was unconsciously shaken.

Huang Ting had no desire to be rigid, and urged Chen Bao to accept the moderation of the imperial court, Chen Bao couldn't let go of the power in his hands, and frequently played sloppy, but his attitude was not as resolute as before after all, and his tone was a lot more relaxed.

After a whole day of negotiations between the two sides, under the coercion and lure of Huang Ting, Chen Bao finally gave up the idea of listening to the propaganda and not listening to the tune, and was willing to accept the command and dispatch of the imperial court like other Ming troops, but Chen Bao's words also implied that the army only accepted moderation and did not accept reorganization, and the three major powers of the military, government and finance on the island had to be under his control, and no one else was allowed to get involved.

Huang Ting said that he did not dare to be self-dictatorated, and he would make a decision after returning to the imperial court.

Early in the morning of the third day, Huang Ting bid farewell to Chen Bao and left Nanao by boat with hundreds of his entourage......

Luling Mansion City, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

When Manchuria inlaid with red flags and Gushan Ezhen Yechen set off from Nanchang with oxen pulling dozens of Hongyi cannons, and spent nearly a month to arrive at Luling City, and met with the besieging Manchurian White Flag Gushan Ezhen Heluo, at this time, Luling City had been besieged by the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners for several months.

After dozens of tragic and tragic bloody battles, the defenders and people of Luling have now fallen into the final juncture????.

The Eight Banners under Luling City suddenly increased the artillery team composed of 10,000 fresh troops and dozens of Hongyi cannons, and the morale suddenly rose, and under the order of He Luohui, the Qing army again

The most fierce attack was launched against the ruined city in front of him.

The Qing soldiers who went into battle were even more excited, and rushed forward desperately under the cover of artillery fire from the rear.

Dozens of Hongyi cannons in the Qing artillery team first concentrated their artillery on the north gate, the fire was powerful and intensive, after several waves of continuous artillery bombardment, where the shells hit, the stone and mud were shattered, and the city wall immediately collapsed out of several small and large openings.

In terms of solidity, Luling City is only a government city, far less than Nanchang City, a provincial capital and a military town, the Qing army's 8-pound, or even 10-pound Hongyi cannons can't deal with the strong and abnormal Nanchang City, and there is no problem in dealing with Luling City, which is just an ordinary brick and stone structure.

Dozens of artillery guns fired in unison, the power was huge, a few fell to the city, the female wall was immediately shattered, the defenders hiding behind the female wall were either dead or wounded, the stumps and broken arms fell to the ground, for a while, the city head was a wail.

After hearing the news, Tang Wenyao, the general of Guangdong Town, personally led a thousand reinforcements to the north gate to repair, but when Tang Wenyao commanded the defenders to fight against the Qing soldiers who took advantage of the situation to seize the city, a lead hit Tang Wenyao's right arm.

Tang Wenyao, who was wounded in his right arm, had angry eyes, his face did not change, and he switched to holding the spear in his left hand.

"Brothers, kill with me!"

Tang Wenyao called himself a brother but not a name, and after a while, he relied on his bravery and superb martial arts to kill several Qing soldiers who climbed the city on the spot.

The main generals are already dying, and the people who are small soldiers at the bottom can't be justified if they don't play with their lives, not to mention that the bosses have already given up their dignity and humility, calling them brothers.

They are brothers, so naturally they have to live and die together!
