Chapter 13 Arriving in Liaodong, the room is in distress

It's just that you have money and see that your young master has given away his military exploits and most of his combat power, so he can't help but complain. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Ziren was unbearable, and it was difficult to reprimand him in front of everyone, so he sent him to help Jin Guan with Wang Mingjian and Tang Yaoshun.

There were not many soldiers under the Golden Crown, and many were injured. Now that a sand boat has been captured and needs to be piloted, and there are many prisoners who need to be guarded, there is a shortage of manpower for a while. Seeing that Ziren sent people to help, he was very grateful, and he also took care of Youcai and others. Just let him take care of the prisoners who were previously in the army, and also send some wine and meat from time to time.

Wang Mingjian and Tang Yaoshun suffered a lot from these thieves before, so they naturally had to take revenge when they got this opportunity. But the two of them are honest people on weekdays, and they can't think of any good way except to deduct food.

At this time, fortunately, there were many rich ghosts with ideas, not to mention adding some insects to the other party's food every day, and drinking and meating with Wang Mingjian and Tang Yaoshun in front of all the prisoners. The prisoners were already hungry, and they couldn't see others eating and drinking, and at first they wanted to snatch it. But he was afraid of the bright blades in the hands of the three people, so he could only watch a few people eat and drink, which was very pitiful. When Wang and Tang saw this scene, their grievances disappeared. Even Wang Xuedao rushed to hear the news, and the four of them ate meat and drank wine as soon as they arrived. Seeing that everyone was suffering in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.

Ziren didn't stop him after he bumped into it, and specially took some more wine and meat to eat and drink with everyone. At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of Wang Mingjian and others to be in a good mood, they inquired about the backgrounds and specialties of the three people. Ziren's move was because when he was fighting a few days ago, he saw that Wang Ming was quite fierce when he fought hard, as if he had experienced a battle array. So I was suspicious of his origins, so I took this opportunity to talk about it.

The three of them don't have any fancy intestines on weekdays, and at this time, with the strength of wine, they confide in the truth. It turned out that Wang Mingqiang and Wang Xuedao were both orphans, and their parents were Ma Hu who died of illness at an early age. Later, when the two grew up, they were hereditary horse households, and they have been raising horses for a living, and their lives are quite difficult. Wang Ming has a hard personality, impatient and likes to fight with others, so he has practiced a good knife technique in order to prevent losses in the fight, so he is not panicked when he first goes to the battlefield. Wang Xuedao is introverted, and although he has a strong physique, he has nothing else to do except raise horses. Tang Yaoshun and the two kings are in the same village, and they are also from Ma Hu, they are loyal and honest, and they have the strength to do so.

Because of their tall horses and excellent riding skills, the three were taken by horse bandits when they entered the village to rob them, and they were tied up and dragged up the mountain and fell to the grass. A few days after going up the mountain, he was cleared by officers and soldiers. The three of them were still tightly bound when they were captured, so they were not evil. Unexpectedly, the local officials were mediocre, and in order to make up enough for the number of people to fill the army, the three of them were sent to Liaodong together. At this time, the three of them hung their heads, thinking that they had touched their sadness.

After listening to this, Ziren felt that what the three of them said was true, and he no longer doubted it. I began to think about how to distribute weapons to everyone, and I thought about it and prepared. Thinking that Wang Mingjian and Ding Bi had the best martial arts, they decided to let the two wear iron armor and kill the enemy in melee combat with broadswords and spears. He also has three people who have wealth and keep iron, wearing cotton armor and holding a bird gun, and he takes 70 steps to break the enemy, and then changes his sword to meet the enemy after the enemy is close. Wang Xuedao and Tang wanted to follow the twenty forces, let them wear cotton armor and use a three-eyed gun, wait for the enemy to walk within thirty steps and then open the gun to hurt people, and then use the three-eyed gun as a mace after getting close.

Due to the limited conditions, weapons and armor are now lacking. You can only wait until you come ashore to make some purchases, preferably with a few shields and horses. At that time, he will have to ask Jin Guan to help, he has been in Liaodong for many years, and he wants to have some way.

Two days later, Ziren and his entourage finally arrived at Lushunkou. Lushunkou was called the lion's mouth in the Yuan Dynasty, Ming Hongwu four years (1371), Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sent Ma Yun, Ye Wang's two generals to lead the army from Shandong Penglai to cross the sea to land here to recover Liaodong, because the sea journey was smooth sailing, then the lion's mouth was renamed Lushunkou, has been used to this day.

After landing, Ziren specially found a restaurant and invited everyone on the boat to a banquet. Before the banquet, Ziren and his gang frequently got up to toast Jinguan, coaxing Jinguan very happy. When he saw that the time was ripe, he said loudly:

"Thanks to Brother Jin's good command in this sea distress, he was able to break the bandits, and he beheaded nearly twenty of them alone. If you want to come to Brother Jin, you will be promoted this time, and the job of 100 households is not a problem, and if you are lucky, you can get a try for thousands of households, thousands of households or something. Today, there are a few thin wines under the hem, one is to celebrate Brother Jin's ascension, and the other is to ask for a small matter, I don't know if Brother Jin can agree. ”

(In the Ming Dynasty, military merit initially focused on battlefield performance, so that there were often few beheadings, but there were several promotions.) For example, in the battle of Yingzhou in the last year of Zhengde, the beheading was only thirteen or thirteen, but he set up a clever name, so that hundreds of people were promoted and rewarded, which can be described as indiscriminate. Therefore, the imperial court gradually shifted to valuing the enemy's head, which can be called the "first merit system")

Although the golden crown is on the rise at this time, he is good at calculation on weekdays. didn't agree directly, just smiled and let Ziren say it was okay. Fortunately, Ziren didn't ask for much, mainly because he counted Wang Mingqiang, Wang Xuedao, and Tang Yaoshun as people who died of illness on the way to the army, and at the same time helped purchase some weapons and horses. It was not difficult for Jin Guan to do it, so he agreed without thinking too much.

This move is because the three of them are all guilty and have been used as military households, not to mention restoring their status as civilian households, and it is very troublesome to even want to return to their hometowns. It is better to count the people who died of illness to cancel their nationality and change their names to re-enter the nationality in the future. Wang Mingqiang and the other three knew that Ziren's move was well-intentioned, and he was overjoyed for a while. They got up one after another to toast Jin Guan and Ziren, and everyone drank until they were drunk and then returned to the room to rest.

Ziren is not good at drinking on weekdays, so today he opened his mouth and begged Jinguan to do things and drank a few more glasses. After that, he was dragged by Wang Mingjian and others to toast again and again, and some of them drank high. When I got back to my room, I didn't have time to wash up, so I went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, I felt that the wind in the room suddenly rose, and the temperature seemed to drop to freezing for a while. Even though he was covered with a thick quilt, he still felt a chill to the bone. This cold air seems to be able to penetrate the skin and flesh of the body, directly into the bone marrow, and the drunkenness disappears immediately.

I hurriedly tried to struggle to get up, but my body seemed to be frozen, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move a bit, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he was in a panic, he heard a burst of laughter in his ears, which was not loud but sounded quite harsh.

After Ding Shouming heard the laughter, he secretly screamed in his heart: "That's it, my life is over!" ”
