In the twilight, the exhausted Japanese invaders chose to retreat.

The defenders at the head of the city were finally able to rest for a while, and Xu Sanyi sat on the ground, panting heavily, and the wounds all over his body were constantly painful.

The next second, he jumped up suddenly, carrying the knife crookedly, and rushed towards the two corpses of the widows, he raised the knife and slashed down, and slashed several times in a row, but he was stunned that he didn't cut it, so he had to press the handle of the knife with his body, and cut it from the bone crack little by little, and he was covered in blood, and the two heads were cut off.

Lifting it in his hand, Xu San laughed, saliva flowed out, where are these human heads, they are simply two big ingots.

Not only Xu San, but also other villagers, they scrambled to cut down the corpses in the city, and then used bamboo poles to pick up the corpses under the city and cut off their heads.

After counting, a total of 176 people were beheaded, and 17 people were killed in Xiang Yong, and more than 30 people were wounded, overall, Tang Yi was not satisfied with this loss.

You must know that the Qi family army has fought with zero casualties, Tang Yi's training methods are better, and he has invested more, so why should he still suffer "heavy losses", he must reflect on it well and reflect thoroughly!

Tang Yi was sullen, others were so happy, and Zhao Wenhua was the most proud.

When the battle was fought, Zhao Daqin almost didn't dare to go to the city, hiding in the line, and when the battle was over, he heard that it was a big victory, and he ran up the city wall in a hurry.

Seeing the corpses piled up into a hill, Zhao Wenhua was nauseous, and vomited, after vomiting. Zhao Wenhua actually made a crazy move, he ran to the head, grabbed them one by one and watched them carefully, laughing while spitting and watching, almost like a madman.

The soldiers didn't know what was going on, so they had to watch from a distance and let Zhao Wenhua vent. To be honest, Zhao Daqin was very happy. Go crazy with joy!

After losing the worry of his life, Zhao Wenhua was thinking about one thing that made him panic.

The dignified Lord Qincha was kidnapped and taken away by the Japanese Invaders, where did he put the face of the court? If you check it out, you may be able to shake out Zhao Xu's matter. According to the previous crime of being a convict, even if he does not die as an uncle, his career will end here. Even if he slips away and blows the wind on the pillow again, his godfather Yan Song and godbrother Yan Shifan will not protect him.

Zhao Wenhua is different from other officials, how many people he has harmed and how much money he has been greedy for over the years, countless pairs of eyes are staring at him behind his back, once he loses power. What awaits him is doom!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Wenhua simply had the urge to buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

But since the sniper of the Japanese in Baimao Town to the victory in Changshu, Zhao Wenhua's mentality has changed abruptly.

On his fingers, there were 500 Japanese soldiers killed before and after, and there were more than 200 real heads, which was a real credit, although he didn't do anything. But as a messenger, he can't run away if he has meritorious command.

As the saying goes, one handsome covers a hundred ugly. After a big victory, all his guilt is gone, not only is it gone, but his status will climb rapidly. What's so great about Zhang Jing, isn't it just that he is a little older!

Have you ever won any decent battles?

No, not at all. Compared to me, Zhao Wenhua is too far behind, and this one even looks forward to fighting against Zhang Jing, and then replacing him.

There is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, if you can sit on the throne of the governor of the southeast, millions of military salaries. Silk, porcelain, money, ticket numbers, and fat meat flowing with oil everywhere, if you can fish for a few years, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

Zhao Daqin's eyes are full of little stars, but no matter how beautiful his ideal is, someone must cooperate, and that person is Tang Yi!

Obviously, how he was kidnapped, Tang Yi is clear, what virtues he has along the way, Tang Yi is also clear, if this kid is not willing to help cover up, not to mention that the dream will not come true, it will become a nightmare.

Therefore, after Zhao Wenhua looked at the head, he hurriedly ran to Tang Yi and patted him on the shoulder excitedly.

"The virtuous nephew of the line, worthy of being a tiger of the gate, amazing, really powerful!" Zhao Wenhua said tentatively: "Virtuous nephew, if you command well, the court will definitely reward you heavily, what you want, just tell the old man, I will try my best to fight for it." If anyone dares to underestimate Xiang Yong, I will go to the capital with him to fight a lawsuit. ”

Obviously, he was referring to Zhang Jing.

Tang Yi smiled and nodded, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Duke Meicun, how do you say the imperial court will reward me?" ”

"This ......"

Zhao Wenhua was asked all of a sudden, the court's reward is nothing more than the addition of civil officials to officials, the entry of military generals into knighthood, and the reward of some treasures, that's it.

Tang Yi is a small Sanyuan, there is no difficulty at all in taking the Jinshi exam, he can get an official position with his ability, why should he rely on the emperor's reward. As for appreciating the little money, it is not as much as Tang Yi's fingers flowing out.

The last time Tang Yi was guarding the capital, he contributed a lot, and the imperial court felt that it was difficult to reward, and this time it was even more so. Zhao Wenhua grabbed his hair, racked his brains, and couldn't come up with an idea.

Tang Yi leaned over, reached Zhao Wenhua's ear, and whispered: "Mei Cun Gong, let's find out, I can give you all the credit!" ”

"Give it all to me? What do you mean? Zhao Wenhua asked stunned.

"Hehe, I have thought about it for Meicun Gong, you have a series of clever plans in Baimao Town, severely injured the Japanese Koukou, delayed time, and then showed your talents in Changshu, gathered warriors from all directions, fought against the city, and then defeated the strong enemy. What do you think? Tang Yi asked with a smile.

Grunt, Zhao Wenhua swallowed his saliva with difficulty, Tang Yi is really generous, originally Zhao Wenhua only dared to think about the leadership credit, but now it's okay, everything belongs to him.

Zhao Wenhua has been in officialdom for so many years, and he finally knows a truth, how much he wants to get, he has to pay the same. He forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Xingzhi virtuous nephew, open the conditions, the old man is ready to be slaughtered!" ”

Zhao Wenhua stretched his neck, held his chest out, and looked like he was going to die generously, Tang Yi smiled secretly in his heart. That's the good thing about dealing with villains, it's always better to be straightforward than those hypocrites.

"Mei Cun Gong, do you know the shortcomings of Xiang Yong?"

"Inadequate? What's the shortcoming, didn't you cut off so many heads? Zhao Wenhua didn't know why.

Tang Yi shook his head: "Meicun Gong, Xiangyong has at least three problems to solve, the first is that the soldiers have been trained in various places, and they must be organized to fight together, and they must be run-in, so you can't rush to war, you have to help suppress it; The second Xiangyong lacks the power of long-range strikes, simply put, it is a fire gun, we have captured the bird gun, and it is also being built in Zhejiang, but the number is not enough, you have to help to craftsmen, to workshops, it is best to get a workshop in Taicang. ”

"No problem." Zhao Wenhua patted his chest and said: "The old man is a messenger, I have the final say on how to use soldiers, as for the craftsmen and workshops, the old man still has the title of squire of the Ministry of Works, I will arrange it and ensure that the line is satisfied." ”

"Happy, there is one last one left, that is, Xiangyong needs a water master."

"Sailor?" Zhao Wenhua hesitated suddenly.

The sailor needs a warship, and the warship involves the sea ban, not to mention him, even Yan Song didn't dare to agree easily.

"Xingzhi Xian nephew, the sailor can't be trained in a day or two, and the old man can't get a boat?"

"Hahaha, Mei Cun Gong, I didn't expect to have a sailor in an instant. I mean, can you build a shipyard in Liuhebao, to the outside world, it is to repair the warship, first find the craftsmen, and support the shelves. I estimate that within a few years, the sea ban will be relaxed, and then the shipyard will have a lot to do. As long as Mei Cun Gong can help get it down, 20% of the dry shares of the shipyard are yours, what do you think? ”

Hearing that there was money to be made, little stars popped up in Zhao Wenhua's eyes, but he was still a little reserved.

"Virtuous nephew, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have asked for your dry shares, it's just, it's just a little bit up and down...... In short, you get the idea! Zhao Wenhua was forced out of the famous words.

Tang Yi smiled slightly, how could he not be clear, many people knew that the commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty was outrageously low, and it seemed that as long as the commercial tax was increased, the financial crisis could be solved, and any problem could be solved.

Things are far from so simple, although the court's commercial tax is almost none, but if you want to do business, you must have someone to cover, the bigger the business, the harder the backer, the ordinary grocery store must have officials to take care of, and the big business needs the officials of the state capital, and even the governor of the political envoy, and even the six ministries and nine secretaries, the old ministers of the cabinet.

In this way, the commercial tax has long been taken away, but it is not included in the national treasury.

Faced with a cruel and ugly reality, if you are unable to resist, you must learn to adapt, at least temporarily.

The reason why Zhao Wenhua was chosen was that the Yan Party was huge, and if you wanted to do things, you couldn't bypass them.

After negotiating the conditions, Zhao Wenhua grinned and grabbed Tang Yi's hand, the two of them were like old friends for many years, they became much closer all of a sudden, and it was different with the combination of interests.

Repelled the attack of the Japanese invaders, Tang Yi did not dare to slack off, he personally inspected the four cities, talked with the villagers, ate together, and patrolled together.

Don't underestimate these actions, you must know that Tang Yi has the aura of Xiao Sanyuan, in the eyes of ordinary people, that is Wenqu Xing, which Xiangyong can say a few more words to him, he is flattered, and immediately became a die-hard fan, swearing to follow. For Tang Yi, this is also a lucrative investment, these townsmen will definitely become an important force in the Ming army in the future, don't look at the civilian officials who look down on the martial arts, if you want to sit on the throne, it is absolutely impossible without the support of the army.

In the future, Tang Yi relied on his strong appeal in the army to tide over crises again and again, and avoid repeating the tragic fate of Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others......

Under Tang Yi's management, Changshu became a monolith, and Ma Ye attacked for two days in a row, except for the bleeding of his head, he found nothing, and he had to give up.

The pirates gritted their teeth and retreated. Less than twenty miles after they left, a team of black-clothed and black-armored people with high banners appeared in front of them, killing like a whirlwind and clouds.

The Yongzi flag fluttered in the air, and the people under the banner were in their early thirties, with short beards, handsome and chic, and extraordinary bearing, it was Tang Shen and Tang Zicheng!

The little ones were bullied, and the old ones came.

Ma Ye-san, you're in trouble...... (To be continued.) )
