Chapter 128: Provocation at the head of the city
"Zhang Daren, arrange for someone to take his subordinates down to see the Hongyi cannon!" Jiang Maotong looked earnest, the biggest task of this trip must be completed as soon as possible, which is a guarantee for him to continue to be promoted and make a fortune.
Zhang Zhensun came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Why should the general be in a hurry, arrange a place for you to live first, and the people and horses will have to eat, drink and rest, let's observe the Hongyi cannon in Shangchengtou tomorrow!" ”
"Hey, Lord Zhang, as a soldier in the face of the national disaster, how can I have time to eat, drink and recuperate, I will go to see the real thing immediately, and I should make plans and preparations to take over the city defense as soon as possible."
When he said this, the officials in the hall were taken aback, what does this mean? Just came to ask for military power, this is a big taboo, is this kid a retarded person!
Regardless of whether it is a civilian or military general, when there is a transfer or resignation, the procedures and time nodes of the handover will be agreed in advance. And Jiang Maotong's appointment is not a replacement but a direct appointment above the two generals, which is equivalent to Jiang Maotong, a loyal military general with four grades, under Zhang Zhensun, who is the highest commander of the place, and commands all armed forces.
Zhang Zhensun and the others couldn't figure out what they were thinking, so they took the civil and military officials to accompany them, and the group went to the north gate of the city.
Liu Changhai made meritorious contributions this time, and was promoted from squad leader to platoon commander, with eight cannons on the north city gate and numerous ballista thunderbolt cannons. He is leading dozens of craftsmen on Hong Kong Island to inspect the cannons one by one, repair and replace damaged parts, adjust the parameters and accuracy of the cannons, and other maintenance work.
"Platoon Commander Liu, Master Zhang, they brought the new general to visit the cannon, and asked you to go over and explain it!" A government soldier ran over to say hello in advance, and Zhang Zhensun was also afraid of any leaks, so he specially called Liu Changhai, who was sleek and sleek.
Liu Changhai nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that the cannon at the head of the city is going to be replaced, let's let them watch it while we work!" ”
At this time, a group of more than 30 people, large and small civil and military officials, followed Zhang Zhensun from the north gate to the top of the city, and after the guidance of the government soldiers, they walked straight towards the Hongyi cannon that was replacing the gun mount.
Zhang Zhensun led the way with civil and military officials, Jiang Maotong and Qian Kang were surrounded by people, and they really picked up the official model of the minister, and they had to shake their dignity when they walked.
Qian Kang followed Zhang Shijie's side for a long time, and every day he worked hard to curry favor with him, before he climbed to the position of a staff member, and the first thing he did was to make his brother-in-law a petty official. Now that the time is running, I can also say a few words in front of Zhang Shijie, this time it must be strange to press the victory in Guangzhou, if you want to get detailed and true information, you must use the name of Lu Xiufu.
As long as he can get to Guangzhou, in addition to taking over the important tasks of city defense and controlling new firearms, there is also a key to avoiding the leakage of the matter, which is to take the opportunity to take back the original letter, and not give Lu Xiufu the handle to catch this matter.
"This is the Hongyi cannon that has made great contributions to the city defense war? It's so powerful, I'll touch it! Brother, can I let me set off a shot, how about it, let's shoot it! Jiang Maotong, as a military general, naturally has a great interest in the Hongyi cannon, and his eyes were immediately attracted at first sight, and he forgot all the things that Qian Kang told him to be stable at the beginning.
Liu Changhai is very familiar with these people, on weekdays, these officials have no official frame for the people in the firearms battalion, although there are one or two more people who don't know, they don't particularly care, and they don't particularly care, facing Jiang Mao: "It's not okay now, you don't see that this shelf is a little crooked, and if you put another shot, you have to fall apart, and you have to completely change the shelf and stand firm before you can release the cannon!" ”
"Bold, who are you, who dare to speak to Lord Kipchak, the new loyal general, Lord Jiang, how to deal with the following violations of military law, come on, take him down first!" Qian Kang was furious in his heart, looking at Liu Changhai, a small soldier, seeing that so many officials did not pay respects to worship, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke, just to find a reason for him to have a seizure.
At the end of the team, there were four gold-armored forbidden army guards with knives, and after listening to Qian Kang's order, they jumped up and were about to reach out to take people.
Zhang Zhensun was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "No, Lord Qian, please stop, don't let it go!" ”
"No, Lord Zhang, this little soldier disrespects Lord Qincha, just like disrespecting the authority of the current saint, and insulting the dignity of His Majesty, Lord Zhang, are you trying to protect him?" Qian Kang snapped a set of words, and suddenly a big hat that disrespected the emperor was buttoned down, and see which of you dares to take it.
More than thirty civil and military officials frowned, what does this Lord Qincha mean, this guy who sings blackface has too poisonous mouth, and whoever dares to talk at this time can be put on a big hat of disrespect.
Liu Changhai is not afraid of him, he has been by Zhao Tianyou's side for a long time, except for the king of heaven Lao Tzu is Zhao Tianyou's biggest, everything else is nonsense, if your emperor is powerful, why don't you run away every day and dare not go ashore! Besides, you are one acre and three points of land in Guangzhou, and you don't ask what kind of stuffing our firearms battalion is, and if you come up, you will find fault with me, and according to the words of our battalion commander Meng, I will beat you up first.
Liu Changhai looked at Qian Kang's villainous face and became even more angry, and took a step forward and said, "What did you say, this adult, I didn't hear it clearly, you tell me again!" ”
"Why are you leaning forward, do you want to hit someone? Lord Zhang, you just watched your subordinates threaten the imperial court officials and insult Lord Qincha, Lord Zhang? Qian Kang wanted to save Zhang Zhensun's face, and took this opportunity to let Jiang Maotong take the position, and it would be easier to take over the military power in the future, so he repeatedly picked bones in the eggs.
Wang Daofu couldn't bear it anymore, and flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Lord Qian, what do you mean by this, are all my officials in Guangzhou rebellious in your mouth?" Besides, this platoon commander Liu is not a soldier under my Guangzhou government, but a rebel army who took the initiative to help Guangzhou defend the city, and we have no right to govern it at all. ”
Zhang Zhensun had a cold face, stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaled many officials who wanted to speak to shut up, stepped forward and arched his hand at Qian Kang and said: "Lord Qian has just arrived, and I haven't made some things clear to Lord Jiang, these Hongyi cannons and many firearms do not belong to the imperial court, but are provided by the rebels on Hong Kong Island. These soldiers who use and maintain them are all sergeants of the firearms battalion on Hong Kong Island, and this is a volunteer army that helps Guangzhou to defend the city for free, please don't be lazy! ”
"All the whole world is the king's land, and within the four seas, all are the king's ministers. What do you mean by Lady Qian's words? Aren't you an official who holds the court, how do you look like you are a person who is all the way with those bandits, but you have opened my eyes to Qian! ”
"I'm fucking you! Syllable! ”
