Chapter 231: From Exchange to Gambling in the Army
In the audience, Cao Wenheng was very enthusiastic in his speech, and Wang Dalun seemed to be listening attentively, but he was looking at the people in the seat, and sitting opposite Wang Dalun was, of course, the famous Zu Dashou, the first person in the Guangning Army.
I saw that Zu Dashou was concentrating on tasting the tea in front of him, as if this tea was so delicious, for Cao Wenheng, who was talking loudly, he didn't even look at it, and it seemed that he didn't have much respect for Cao Wenheng, and the generals among them reacted similarly, and they were all listening absentmindedly.
In contrast, the guest generals sitting under Wang Dalun behaved much more respectfully than the group of Guan Ningjun, they were also very polite to Wang Dalun just now, and they greeted Wang Dalun warmly, although they were not much interested in Cao Wenheng's speech, but they still listened carefully.
Cao Wenheng spoke for a long time, and then said: "Next, please ask General Wang to tell us a few words, exchange his experience in this battle, and let us learn!" β
Cao Wenheng's words made the guest generals very happy, they applauded warmly, and looked at Wang Dalun very eagerly, he was able to use the guest army to stand in Dongjiang Town, and was able to achieve a great victory, this is a very happy thing for the guest generals, in their hearts, Wang Dalun and they have a natural sense of closeness, they are all guest soldiers, not easy!
In contrast, the Quang Ninh troops on the opposite side reacted much colder, except for one or two people who applauded as if they were on the occasion, the others were doing their own things as if no one was around.
When Wang Dalun saw it, he was annoyed in his heart. You bastards, do you really think you're a character? I knew that you were this kind of urine, so I didn't bother to come over. However, looking at the expectant eyes of the guest generals, I decided to say a few words.
"Governor Cao has promoted me, in fact, my Dongjiang army can defeat the Tartars this time, relying on something very simple, that is, the spirit of not being afraid of death???"
"Not afraid of death? Light is not afraid of death? Who of us here is afraid of death? Don't do all these useless things, who won't say clichΓ©s!" Zu Dashou interrupted coldly on the side.
If you're afraid of death, you know it in your heart! Wang Dalun glanced at him, and then said: "Of course, it is not that you can solve the problem without fear of death. The quality of the soldier is also very important. My vanguard was attacked by Tartars six times outnumbered, but none of them retreated! β
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, and they were attacked by six times the enemy. It's impossible. The special object is the Tartars. Not to mention six times, it's already very good that you can defeat each other six times as many people.
Zu Dashou was shocked. He immediately said, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible, everyone here is a war and an old man, how can there be a situation where they are besieged by six times the enemy and do not take a step back! β
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it! My standard battalion was the vanguard at that time, and this battle was fought by them, so you can ask them if I am exaggerating! Wang Dalun heard the questioning voice and said very politely.
"Biaoying is your descendant, who is not out of the same nostril as you, if Biaoying is spoken, we still can't believe it!" Zu Dashou said in a deep voice.
Do I want you to believe it? Wang Dalun glanced at Zu Dashou coldly, and then continued: "Whether you believe it or not, at that time, my standard battalion was besieged by six times the enemy, and they fought to the death and did not retreat, and then after all the troops of the other side were put in, I ordered the army to be dispatched!" β
Zu Dashou pursed his lips, very disdainful, he became more and more convinced in his heart that Wang Dalun was lying, and when he saw that his lie was exposed, he didn't dare to continue talking.
Wang Dalun's experience exchange continued, only to hear him say: "At that time, we were able to win, I think there are two other factors, the first is that we took the initiative to attack, in the case of the Tartars are tired, our army's physical strength prevails, and the combat effectiveness of the Tartars is a little reduced!" β
"The second is the use of firearms, our army is equipped with a lot of firearms, especially the standard battalion, almost seventy percent of them use muskets as the main battle weapon, you can see this from the standard battalion I brought!"
"Hahaha!" Zu Dashou looked up to the sky and smiled, he interrupted Wang Dalun's words again, and he said loudly: "I also said that I didn't lie, but now that I listen, I can really be sure that you are lying!" Can you look at the object when you lie, you can say these words to the civil officials in the court alone! β
Wang Dalun is really angry now, he has been interrupted by others again and again, no matter how good his temper is, he will have fire, I saw him staring at Zu Dashou, and asked coldly: "Could it be that General Soldier Zu thinks I'm lying?" β
"I don't think I think it is! All of you here are battle-hardened veterans, and firearms have not been used, and everyone knows exactly how much power they have, and you say that you can resist the attack of the Tartars with firearms, which is tantamount to insulting us! β
Zu Dashou is now proud in his heart, little sample, finally got your handle, not everyone will do this kind of thing lying about military exploits, you are still too tender, you can't even lie! Hey, I'm still too young!
Wang Dalun smiled angrily now, he looked at the generals present with a smile, and asked lightly: "Everyone thinks I'm lying?" β
The generals of the Guan Ning army sneered, while the guest generals on the side were expressionless, but looking at their appearance, they obviously believed that Wang Dalun was lying.
"Since you all think I'm lying, and no matter how much I say, it's all right, so let's prove it and let you see it with your own eyes, so that you don't really think I'm lying!" Wang Dalun said lightly.
"Proof, how do you prove it? Now there are no five or six times as many tartars for you to kill! Zu Dashou said sarcastically, he said the three words five or six times very seriously.
"No one is needed, after all, we are friendly troops, and we really use knives and guns, and it will not be good if we hurt someone. Well, it's hot weather, and I think there are a lot of watermelons now, so let people buy fifty or sixty truckloads of watermelons and let my standard camp try them to see how much time they can break these watermelons! β
"Fifty or sixty carts of watermelons, that's one or two hundred silver!" Zu Dashou said disdainfully on the side.
"Then let's make a bet, three thousand watermelons, just bet on whether my standard camp can be finished within one hundred and fifty breaths, if not, I will pay for watermelons!" If you're done ???" Wang Dalun didn't say anything, and looked at Zu Dashou coldly.
"Then I'll get out! I can afford it! Zu Dashou saw that Wang Dalun looked at him with disdain, and he was furious, grandma, do you really think I can't afford that bit of silver? I'm just too lazy to go crazy with you, one hundred and fifty breaths to break three thousand watermelons, which even those people in the Shenji Camp can't do.
Cao Wenheng saw it, and didn't want the two of them to get more and more stiff, so he said loudly on the side: "The two chief soldiers don't need to be like this, it's just a game, this money is out of the Governor's Palace, just buy melons for everyone to relieve the heat, don't hurt the peace for this!" β
"I don't want to play, since someone wants to play, I'll accompany you to the end!" Zu Dashou said coldly, and then said: "I heard that Mr. Wang's family has countless assets, so it's too boring to bet on such a small amount of money, otherwise, let's gamble another 1,000 taels of silver, what do you think?" β
Wang Dalun smiled and said: "Since the ancestor general soldier is from this Yaxing, of course Wang will accompany him to the end, but ??? Will it be too little to bet 1,000 taels of silver, or let's play bigger and bet 10,000 taels, what do you think? β
As soon as Wang Dalun's words came out, Cao Wenheng was frightened, he is really a local tyrant, he has long heard that Wang Hu is rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich, and he was 10,000 as soon as he opened his mouth! It's really more people than people, I'm angry, I've been an official for so many years, and I've only saved so much money, I can't imagine how people are rich!
"Two adults, I said, the game, the game is just a game, there is no need to make it so big, this silver is too much, it really hurts to play!" Cao Wenheng hurriedly said, and then he kindly persuaded Zu Dashou and said: "Chief Soldier Zu, you are older, you are already past this age, there is no need!" β
"I don't care, Governor Cao said that if you don't play, you won't play, anyway, this bit of silver is not much money in my eyes, and it doesn't matter to me whether I win this bit of silver or not!" Wang Dalun said lightly.
"10,000 taels of silver doesn't matter in my eyes, I'll gamble with you! You want to go back, no door! The words of a man must be counted! Zu Dashou said categorically on the side, and his Zu Dashou was not frightened.
Originally, Zu Dashou was frightened by Wang Dalun's bet and flinched a little, 10,000 taels of silver is not a decimal for Cao Wenheng, and it is not a decimal for his Zu Dashou, he has eaten empty salaries for so many years, occupied land, and made a mess of it, but he only accumulated 50,000 or 60,000 silver, and he was still a little reluctant to take it out suddenly.
But Cao Wenheng's persuasion stimulated the anger in his heart, not to mention that his chances of winning are higher, even if he is fighting for breath, he has to gamble with the other party. and Wang Dalun's attitude, I guess he is scaring himself, and he wants to scare me by increasing the amount of silver, which is impossible! My ancestor Dashou has never seen anything, he will be afraid of you!
"Master Zu, don't be afraid, bet with him! We have the silver in our hands, and we have your back! The generals of the Guan Ning Army on the side saw that Wang Dalun wanted to scare people with money, and they all opened their mouths.
"Such a fun thing, where can I be missing Wu Sangui! How can I say that my Wu family is also a famous family in western Liaoning, my family can still afford this 10,000 taels of silver, uncle, you can rest assured to gamble with him, I Wu Sangui is out of this money! Suddenly a voice came from the door.
When Cao Wenheng heard this voice, he secretly complained in his heart, why did this local tyrant come back early, hey, the local tyrant met the local tyrant, and now he wants to suppress this fire, it is estimated that it is difficult! Isn't this an exchange, how did it become a big gamble in the army! (To be continued......)
