Chapter 25: Everyone's Determination
Zhang Mengcheng learned a bad news from the newspaper, because the chief soldier Wang Chengen did not return, Wang Guoliang was defeated. Some time ago, Du Wenhuan was appointed as the commander of the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Linning, Shanxi, and made every effort to exterminate Wang Jiayin of Hequ, and the fierce general Cao Wenzhao also had to obey his command.
This means that Du Wenhuan is currently the hottest military attache in Shaanxi and the most powerful military attache in Shaanxi. Zhang Mengjin and his gang in Jinding Mountain locked their biggest back door at this time, and they also became the other party's mortal enemy, so you can imagine how lucky Zhang Mengcheng is.
Fortunately, Wang Jiayin of Hequ is still so strong, and now the army of the imperial court should not run so quickly to Yansui West Road, so their gang of thieves still has time to prepare. If they can work hard to strengthen themselves during this time, then when they meet Du Wenhuan in the future, they may not have the strength to fight.
After getting the information about the recent thieves in Shaanxi and the information he wanted, Zhang Mengcheng got up and stretched his body, and walked towards the meeting hall of the office. Zhang Mengcheng was a little hesitant in his heart, thinking about whether to tell the others the news he had just learned. However, he soon had to make a choice, because the council chamber where the eldest brother Zhang Mengjin and the other leaders were located was not far from here.
After Zhang Mengcheng walked into the conference hall, he found that his second brother Zhang Mengguang was also here. The original office of the Ming army officials has now become a meeting place for Zhang Mengjin and his brothers. Zhang Mengcheng still decided not to hide it from the other masters of the cottage, and told the news and concerns he learned in one breath.
After listening to Zhang Mengcheng's words, almost everyone fell silent. Only Yu Baocheng said unwillingly: "Damn, if only we could get this news a day earlier, what kind of Ning Sai would we still use." directly took the people to join Du Wenhuan. Don't talk about Zhao'an, as long as we make meritorious contributions in Hequ. Maybe we even have an official body. Although there are still many problems in practical operation, Zhang Mengcheng is not stupid enough to correct it at this time.
"Can we put this on the hands of God One. After all, when we called in, we used everyone's nicknames. Chen Sanhuai of Ningsai is also dead, and there are not many people in the castle who really know our identity. Wei Heyong said calmly, and at the same time gestured to a gesture that everyone on the road understands. After completing the inspection work, he came back directly, and the person who replaced him in the inspection work is Fan Shunjiang.
"Lord Du is not a fool." The second brother Zhang Mengguang stiffened his face, closed his eyes and slowly said a sentence. With years of getting along, even if he didn't see Wei Heyong's gestures, he knew what Wei Heyong meant. Now he is very angry in his heart, if everyone listened to his opinion that day and did not attack Ningsai, but directly attacked Baoan County, then they would not have so much to do now.
Zhang Mengguang's cold words quickly extinguished the enthusiasm of the other leaders to speak. Seeing Zhang Mengguang's attitude, the leaders who were familiar with him understood what Zhang Mengguang meant. He will do his best to save the lives of Du Wenhuan's family, and the other leaders are not allowed to have any crooked thoughts.
The eldest brother Zhang Mengjin knew that at this time, as the big boss, he had to come out to relieve the atmosphere, so he said to his younger brother and the other leaders in the room very seriously: "Don't be like this, second brother, I know you are not happy." If you are not feeling well, go down and rest first, because here are all brothers who were born and died together, and it is not good to be hurt and angry. Others don't think crookedly, we've already done this, and how do we want to hide it. Even if we kill the few remaining members of Du Wenhuan, it is difficult to guarantee that there are other people we don't know about escaping. And there must be no one in the city who knows who we are, and we can't kill them all. God Yiyuan also knows about us, can we kill them all? ”
"The big boss is right, everything has been done. Let's still follow the original plan, knock down the Willow Stream Fort, and quickly join up with the people of Shen Yiyuan. After all, we didn't kill this Du Wenhuan's clansman, we just take good care of it. If Du Wenhuan understands things, let's continue to respect him. If he doesn't know how to be interested, we can chop him up. I don't believe in evil, everyone is a man from northern Shaanxi, can Du Wenhuan grow an extra head than others? Seeing that the big boss's words stabilized the atmosphere, Li Yang came out and said proudly.
Li Yang secretly glanced at Zhang Mengguang, but the other masters didn't see it, but Zhang Mengcheng saw it where he was sitting. When everyone decided to make a big fuss, Li Yang proposed to fight Ningsai first. Later, Zhang Mengjin decided to join forces with Shen Yiyuan, and everyone needed to sweep away the nails of the three officials and soldiers behind them, so Li Yang actively supported the first to pull out Ningsai.
Li Yang is a native of Ningsai, and he used to suffer a lot of gas in the fort. For taking his brothers back to Ninsey to find a place, he is of course the most supportive. Everyone understood his thoughts, but in their plan, it was only a matter of time before they pulled out Nimse.
At that time, Li Yang and his second brother Zhang Mengguang quarreled, and there was no result for a while. It was only after they decided to merge with Shen Yiyuan that the others finally chose to support Li Dan's proposal. Now that there is such a situation, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Dan will not be weak-hearted. Therefore, Li Dan could only follow the speech of his eldest brother Zhang Mengjin, and then re-boost everyone's morale, and by the way, embolden himself.
Although Li Yang said it was very arrogant, everyone's thoughts were still a little low, so no one spoke up. Only Zhang Mengjin, the big boss, didn't want to embarrass Li Yang, so he followed Li Yang's words and said loudly: "Li Yang is right, we don't have time to regret what we did." We've survived so many things over the years, why is that? It is because our brothers have always been of the same mind, as long as it is something that everyone decides, they are willing to be stabbed for their brothers and die for their brothers. The outsiders are ruthless enough and hard-hearted enough. Think about the dead Yang Liu and the blind bear, if we wilt here, can we be worthy of them. ”
Yang Liu and Xiong Blind were the other two of the eighteen horsemen who followed Zhang Mengjin Luocao at the beginning, and they were originally also one of the seventeen masters (Li Dan was not the leader). It's just that the two died in battle in the first year of Chongzhen, and the cause of death was to keep the brother or brother's family alive.
Hearing the big boss mention Yang Liu and the blind bear, all the masters were ashamed of their sluggish state. At the same time, there was a surge of strength in his heart, and Yu Baocheng was the first to stand up and said proudly: "That's right, we are afraid of a bird, when the sixth son alone rushed into Yuan's head and slashed at the seventy foot soldiers, he killed us with his life." The blind bear took a broken bow and lured away more than 30 rangers of the official army, and was finally cut in two by the official army, and he didn't say where our family was. Now that we have thousands of people, what is there to be afraid of. Don't say it's Du Wenhuan, it's the emperor Lao'er who came to kill our brother in person, I was definitely the first to rush over and dismantle his dragon chair, and then pick up his dragon skin. ”
Anyone who knows Yu Baocheng knows that he is not lying, especially the last sentence. Back then, the Zhang family finally captured Yuan's head alive, and it was Yu Baocheng who took the skin off the person's skin alive. Another person who received the same treatment was the officer and military officer who chased and killed the Jin Dingshan brothers' family back then.
"That's right, let's him together. The big boss, Willow Stream Fort is only forty miles away from here, and the officers and soldiers in it are all cowards, so let me take two hundred brothers to destroy them. Zhou Shaoteng was also motivated, and directly asked the big boss to let him lead the troops to complete the follow-up plan.
"Eighth uncle, I'm not afraid. Whoever you say you want to cut, I'll be the first to rush in. Yongji Fort on the south side of the willow stream also nested some turtles, and I took ten cavalrymen to block them from getting out. Zhang Zhaoen didn't actually think about it so much, but he didn't speak because he saw that the atmosphere was wrong. Now that Zhang Mengjin has spoken, he immediately shouted that he wanted to cut people.
"Give me thirty people, and I will directly demolish the big Qianzhai east of Ningsai. If the big boss still wants to lay down Jingbian, my old car guarantees to be the first to rush to the city. Che Jibao, who is from Jingbian, also spoke.
"Many people in Nimsayburg have taken refuge with us, and now we have a lot of firearms. Don't be verbose, let's go directly to the security guards, demolish the security county, and see what the court can do to us. Even the second brother Guan, who has always been stable, was infected by the atmosphere and was slightly excited.
I watched as the leaders of my men regained their spirits again. Zhang Mengjin finally put his mind at ease. He directly ordered everyone to start getting ready, and after eating, everyone went out to attack everywhere, first leveling the places near Nimsetburg that had not yet surrendered. The strongholds around the Ninsai camp, they had to swallow them all in one go, and then take down the other military forts nearby.
