The Yangtze River, like a giant dragon, rushed from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, suddenly turned northeast in Jiujiang, flowed to Nanjing at an angle of nearly 45 degrees, and then turned due east into the sea, leaving a dragon looking up on the map.

Taking the Dabie Mountains and the southern Anhui Mountains as the watershed, from Anqing to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the river surface is wider and the water volume is larger. In this era, there was no Three Gorges Dam and Gezhou Dam, and there were no countless irrigation stations and water plants along the way, and the momentum of the Yangtze River was even more majestic.

The river is bubbling day and night.

Because the river is wide, the river seems to be calm from a distance, but the boat will feel how turbulent the water is under the river. Dozens of warships of the Qing army's naval division were parked on the shore at this moment, although they were tied with ropes as thick as their arms and heavy iron anchors were lowered, but the warships still fluctuated with the current.

In the main cabin of Shuai Zhou, there was a tiger skin chair in the center, and Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Jiangnan, sat behind Shuai with a golden knife, looking coldly at Bu Congshan who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes were as cold as a knife.

Not pleasing to the eye! Zhang Tianlu looked at Bu Congshan, how to look at it, how unpleasant!

During the Ming Dynasty, the Qin army was strong in the world, and the peasant army in northern Shaanxi also started from Shaanxi, so many generals in the Ming and Qing armies were from Shaanxi, such as Zhang Tianlu is a native of Yulin, Shaanxi.

Zhang Tianlu was Cao Bianjiao's subordinate general in his early years, and fought with the peasant army and the Qing army. Chongzhen was promoted to the chief soldier in the seventeenth year, and he was deeply respected by Shi Kefa. He was ordered to lead 3,000 troops to garrison Guazhou, thinking that Yangzhou was a barrier. (Guazhou is south of Yangzhou.) North bank of the Yangtze River) ...... Duoduo's army moved south, and Zhang Tianlu immediately surrendered, cutting off Shi Kefa's rear supply lines, and Yangzhou fell into a heavy siege, which was soon broken by the Qing army.

After the battle of Yangzhou won a jackpot, Zhang Tianlu hugged Duoduo's thighs, in recent years in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, he made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to pacify Jiangnan, and the capture of Huang Daozhou was only one of them. He is not only brave and good at fighting. And he is very good at being a man, so his official fortune is prosperous, and he was awarded the important task of the governor of Jiangnan by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was crowned a third-class Ada Hahafan. (The third-class Ada Ha Fan is the captain of the light car, the lord of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with a different surname, under the prince and uncle.) ）

The Admiral is the head of the military attaché of a province, subject to the control of the governor and governor, and the general general and lieutenant general are theoretically his subordinates. According to the official system of the Qing Dynasty, the military generals basically came to the end when they became the governors of a province. If you go up, you will either be a civil official like Zhang Cunren, or you will be a nobleman with a different surname like Wu Sangui and Kong Youde, Zhang Tianlu doesn't dare to think about being a king and a duke, and he will be satisfied if he can be a marquis and earl.

Although it is a fellow countryman and an old colleague. Zhang Tianlu hated Bu Congshan from the bottom of his bones.

The two armies were enemies, and although they fought each other for their lives, there were no personal grudges between them. But the conflicts between acquaintances because of years of grudges are unforgettable and naked hatred. Sometimes, it can even become an enemy of life and death that cannot be resolved. If you don't break the other party's corpse into thousands of pieces, it is difficult to solve the hatred in your heart.

When he fought with the peasant army, Bu Congshan betrayed his teammates and pit Zhang Tianlu twice, and later after surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty, he grabbed credit from him everywhere...... After all, Bu Congshan is also a general soldier, only one level lower than him, and Zhang Tianlu has no right to dispose of him at will.

But Bu Congshan lost the battle this time, and the opportunity finally came......

"Bu Congshan, are you guilty?"

"The last general, the last general was anxious to relieve the siege of Guichi, and led the army to rush forward without finding out the enemy's situation, but unexpectedly, Guichi had already been lost, so that he was ambushed by Wang thieves......" Bu Congshan tried to find a few objective reasons, but found that his defense was so pale and weak, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"At this time, are you still talking about it?"

Zhang Tianlu's voice became drier and drier, although he did not have a violent attack, but the pressure was even greater, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly sneered and said: "Hehe, 'eager to relieve the siege of Guichi', 'Unexpectedly, Guichi has been lost', it seems that it is because Xiong Lichun abandoned the city and fled, and the thief Wang was too cunning, you lost this battle, and this town should not punish you for reason, right?" ”

Hearing his unkind tone, Bu Congshan's heart palpitated, sweat trickled down his back, and he kowtowed to the ground again and again: "Please forgive the military gate!" The last general has served before and after the saddle for these years, and there is some slight merit, and the military gate is also asked to be lenient! ”

"I shouldn't punish you for being reasonable or reasonable, but this town has always been unreasonable in governing the army, only talking about military law. Although you and I have known each other for many years and have a good personal relationship, this town can't protect it for personal gain! Zhang Tianlu's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, slapped the table, and shouted: "Bu Congshan lightly attacked the enemy, so that he returned in a fiasco, causing the doors of Tongling and Taiping Mansion to be wide open, frustrating the spirit of our army, and being in a dilemma, according to the law!" Come on, drag him out and cut him down! ”

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers standing on both sides pounced and pushed Bu Congshan to the ground.

Really? Bu Congshan struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of those wolf-like soldiers, he screamed and kept begging for mercy, but he had been dragged out of the door by the erection.

There are still a few Qing army generals in the cabin, but Bu Congshan's popularity is too bad, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all shut their mouths and pretend to be dumb, no one is willing to intercede for him.

Xia Jianren, the deputy general of the water division, hesitated, took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with his fists.

"Keep people under the knife!"

Xia Jianren is a general of the water division, and he is not under the direct control of Zhang Tianlu, so it is more convenient to speak: "Please calm your anger at Titai, although Bu Congshan was defeated, but he killed the general in battle, and the morale of the army was not good." Moreover, at the moment of the great enemy, it is the time to employ people, Bu Congshan, as the chief soldier of Chitai, even if he violates military law, he should also report to Ma Zhitai for disposal......"

Killing a general in battle is not good for morale, this is a common line in opera novels, but it does have a certain truth. The so-called victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and no one dares to say that they will never lose the battle, and if they lose the battle, they will cut off their heads, and other generals will be afraid of war...... Or hesitate to enter, or passively avoid war, anyway, if you don't work, you won't make mistakes.

In addition to this reason, Xia Jianren also tactfully reminded Zhang Tianlu that Ma Guozhu was the highest military and political governor in Jiangnan Province, and if Zhang Tianlu killed Bu Congshan so casually, it would be a strict act of overstepping his authority.

"Hmm-"

Zhang Tianlu let out a heavy breath from his nose, made a look of "anger", and ordered someone to push Bu Congshan back.

He actually knows that the general at the level of the general army is not a casual killing, even if Ma Guozhu wants to kill Bu Congshan, he has to report to the court to go through the normal procedures, and he can only be executed after the crime is determined...... All in all, he is just scaring and scaring Bu Cong from good, and let out a bad breath, if he really kills him like this, he will bring trouble to himself. (Don't cite Yuan Chonghuan as an example, Yuan Chonghuan is a supervisor with a Shang Fang sword in his hand, so he can kill Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Dao, this is like a company commander can't shoot a platoon commander casually, and a military commander can't shoot a division commander casually. ）

After Bu Congshan was pushed back, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said in his mouth that he was grateful to the military for not killing Yunyun.

He also knew that Zhang Tianlu would not kill himself logically, he should just be scaring people, but it really happened to him, and it was false to say that he was not afraid...... In case Tianlu commits two convulsions, regardless of cutting off his head, who will he reason with when the time comes?

What's more, since Zhang Tianlu has such an attitude, he will definitely not let himself go lightly, as the saying goes, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped......

Sure enough, Zhang Tianlu gave him a death order, and asked him to lead the remnants to launch an attack on Mantou Mountain on the outskirts of Guichi.

Although he knew that it was an impossible task, at this time, Bu Congshan dared to bargain, honestly received the military order, disembarked on the boat in a small boat, and prepared to return to his military camp.

"Damn, at least I wasn't beaten!" Bu Congshan is an optimistic person, in other words, he lives heartlessly, he was ready to be beaten with a stick, but Zhang Tianlu didn't mention this stubble, and he escaped.

Of course, Bu Congshan knew very well that Zhang Tianlu definitely didn't forget, but was in a hurry to send him to death, so he was spared this well-deserved military stick...... If he was broken by a crackling stick, he could go to the ship to recuperate from his injuries in the open, without having to attack Mantou Mountain.

Mantou Mountain is near Guichi, it is the only commanding height around Guichi, and it is certain that the Chu army must be heavily defended without sending scouts to investigate. Bu Congshan's men only had more than 400 remnants of defeated soldiers, half of whom were still routs who discarded their armor and weapons, and wanted to capture Mantou Mountain, which was tantamount to a fool's dream.

"This is a knife to kill people, forcing me to die!"

The reason why Bu Congshan's popularity is poor is because he has a distorted personality and is too selfish, but he doesn't understand the world, on the contrary, he is because he is too good at abacus, he doesn't let people everywhere, and he always loves to sell his teammates, so he offends all his colleagues.

"Damn, I can't do it anymore!" He looked at the tall handsome boat and spat fiercely: "There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, Lao Tzu will surrender to the Ming army again, lead them to kill back, and squeeze your Zhang Tianlu's eggs!" ”

With his mind decided, Bu Congshan twisted the horse's head with the reins, and took a few personal soldiers to ride the horse like a fly, and left in the dust. (To be continued......)
