Chapter 70: Da Ming, there is no help
[It's Christmas, Crab wishes book friends a Merry Christmas and a happy family. By the way, I ask for collections, recommendations, and evaluations...... A face of resentment and various requests]
In the elegant seat on the third floor of the Yuebin Building, the largest restaurant in Dengzhou, a wine banquet is nearing the end, the cups and plates on the table of the Eight Immortals are messy, and the two small wine jars under the table are the characteristics of the Yuebin Building, the famous good wine in Dengzhou "smells the fragrance and pours", and now it is empty.
"Pillar, I'm useless!" Ge Bi, who was very drunk, put his arm around the shoulders of the pillar and cried loudly, "We have everything on the ship, Franc guns, bird guns, bows and crossbows...... But I'm so cowardly! Just thinking about how to escape, Leng didn't expect to pick up a weapon and do it with the Tartars! …… I'm sorry for your father, I'm sorry for those brothers! ”
The drunken pillar was also in tears, and the cup in his hand touched Ge Bi fiercely, and as soon as he raised his neck, a cup of fragrant incense poured into his stomach, and said hatefully, "Uncle Ge, I can't figure it out, this tartar is also two shoulders and a head, I haven't heard of three heads and six arms, why are you scared like a mother-in-law without eggs?" ”
Ge Bi stopped his tears, his eyes flashed with deep fear, and he said tremblingly, "Zhu'er, you are still young, you don't understand...... As soon as the uncle marched into the army, he caught up with the Tartars to fight Guangning, followed the brigade to Xipingbao, and walked to the Pingyang Bridge Tartars...... Uncle was still a sword and shield soldier at that time, and he didn't understand anything, but he only knew how to line up with Shi Chang...... There are tens of thousands of us, and as soon as we joined the battle with the Tartars, I didn't even see what the Tartars looked like when I heard someone shouting in the back, 'Defeated!' Defeated! ’…… was defeated like this, and was chased by the Tartars like ducks running all over the mountains...... Your uncle's fate is good, and he was able to escape to Juehua Island with the Zu guerrilla, but how miserable he was all the way! …… A few Tartars followed behind the buttocks, and when they caught up, there was a rain of arrows...... The arrows of the tartars are really long, and they nail people to the ground and cry out...... The worst thing is those brothers who were broken, the Tartars rushed into battle, the mace slapped over, and the head was beaten to pieces, and even the corpse capital could not fall! …… Zhu'er, uncle told you, the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and it is invincible! ”
Hearing this, Zhuzi's eyes erupted into flames, and he clenched his fists and said hatefully, "I don't believe it! I don't believe how powerful Tartars can be...... What do you say is invincible, and the Tartars are not the same in Ningyuan? Didn't the slave chief also die after being shot in Ningyuan...... I still think that he is really King Kong's incorruptible body, but it turns out that he is also a physical body, and he can't withstand the cannons...... I'm too small, or I'm ......."
Speaking of this, Zhu Zi shut up, he originally planned to go to Ningyuan to join the army when he was two years older, but now that he has followed Chu Fan, it is not easy to say this anymore - Zhu Zi has drunk a lot of alcohol, and he is not drunk to the point of not choosing what to say.
Chu Fan observed his words, but he already understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but sigh lightly at the moment.
Since inquiring about Ge Bi and talking about the grievances and entanglements between him and Zhuzi, Chu Fan has planned to resolve the knot between the two, and today he finally pulled Liu Zhongwen and invited the two to Yuebin Lou - in the future, they will live on a boat, and they can't always be like this, not nose and eyes.
Everything went well, Ge Bi sincerely apologized, and he and Liu Zhongwen helped beat the side drum, and finally opened the heart knot of the pillar, although he did not explicitly say that he forgave Ge Bi for his mistakes, but this Uncle Ge also called back.
Unexpectedly, after the wine entered the port, the two of them talked about beating the Tartars again, one was frightened by the Tartars, and the other was the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers and carried the Tartars on his back.
As a traverser, Chu Fan certainly knew that in the early years of the seventeenth century, the Tartars were the most powerful existence in East Asia, and there was no disputed and no one!
So he didn't think about having anything to do with Tartar at all, not because he was cold by nature, but because he was just a little talent, what could he do? It's better to end the troublesome matter of Dengzhou as soon as possible, and it is serious to escape overseas and be comfortable as your own free island owner!
So when he heard Zhuzi say this, he shook his head and said, "Zhuzi, it's not me who hit you, last year's battle in Ningyuan, our Daming really didn't fight well!" ”
The pillar looked at Chu Fan with red eyes, a little unclear.
"Yes, we repelled the Tartars, but how did we repel them?" Chu Fan took the trouble to explain, trying to dispel the idea of this little follower joining the army, "Leaning on the tall city wall of Ningyuan City!" Leaning on the cannon at the head of Ningyuan City! …… Does anyone dare to go out of the city to fight? No! On the contrary, what happened to the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island, when the Tartars came by stepping on the ice? Collapse! There was not even the slightest decent resistance...... Our Daming, since the old slaves of the Wanli Dynasty started their troops, they have never won the Tartars in the wild wave war! ”
Speaking of this, Chu Fan looked at the pillar fixedly and said, "Could it be that we have fought dozens of battles with the Tartars, big and small, and there are no good men?" Is there a bloodless man? ”
The pillar was dazed, Ge Bi was confused, and Liu Zhongwen was thoughtful, but they all shook their heads in unison.
Chu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "That's right! There is no shortage of bloody men in our Ming Dynasty, but why do we always lose battles? The reason is actually very simple, the Tartars are together, let's fight among themselves! The most obvious is the Battle of Quang Ninh in which Uncle Ge participated...... First, Sun Degong surrendered to the enemy, and then Xiong Tingbi was angry, and he threw it clean for hundreds of miles outside the gate...... The art of war is cloudy, those who want the same up and down win, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, a Liaodong Jingluo, a Liaodong governor, the battle has not yet been fought, it is strange that this battle can be won! ”
He didn't understand what Ge Bi and Zhuzi were talking about, but Liu Zhongwen had studied the Battle of Guangning carefully, but the imperial court was very secretive about this defeat, and he only heard a few words on weekdays, and he didn't know much about it. Now listening to Chu Fan's just a few words, he pointed out the crux of the fiasco, and he was both admired and surprised in his heart - he was so familiar with the military strategy and the art of war!
"Brother Fan is right, it's not that we can't beat the Tartars, but that we have harmed ourselves!" Liu Zhongwen pondered for a long time, turned the wine glass in his hand and asked.
"That's exactly what it means!" Chu Fan nodded, he was also quite drunk, and pointed in a random direction, "Don't say anything else, let's just say that the commander of Dongjiang Mao, led hundreds of remnants of the army, went down to Zhenjiang Fort with one drum, guarded the islands, and recovered Jinzhou Wei; Tens of thousands of people live in Liaodong, harassing day and night, and the Tartars can't eat their flesh and sleep their skin! …… With such a great military achievement, how did the dynasty deal with it? The commander of the town is loud, but it is just a false name...... We are all in Dengzhou, and many things are clear, but the food and salary in Dongjiang Town have been paid in full once? I won't say how much this 'drifts'...... Even if the food and salary are black, it's always okay for people to engage in some sea trade to earn food, right? But these officials in Dengzhou can't even get used to this, and they just send a bullet to the capital on the left and a bullet on the right......"
Speaking of this, Chu Fan's eyes were a little red, and he almost blurted out that Inspector Yuan had killed Mao Dashuai in the future, but fortunately, he hadn't drunk too much wine and stopped the car in time. He took a sip of wine and looked around at the three people, "This is the fate of the martyrs!" This is the end of serving the country wholeheartedly! This is the fate of the Tartars who are desperately trying to kill the Tartars in front! …… I don't even have a bite to eat! ”
Liu Zhongwen had never seen Chu Fan so impassioned, and he couldn't help but be deeply infected by him, and the wine glass in his hand couldn't help but be vigorously kneaded, and it was immediately broken into seven or eight pieces, only to hear him chant in a hoarse voice, "The traitor is in charge!" Cadaver vegetarian meal! …… When will there be another Qi Shaobao, alas! ”
Chu Fan looked at him with red eyes and said faintly.
"Don't talk about Qi Shaobao, it's useless for Yue Wumu to be reborn...... Da Ming, it's hopeless! ”
