Chapter Ninety-Eight: Wang Huazhen's Invitation
Xu Daqian had never been so lonely, he shouted desperately, only a dozen people around him obeyed his orders, and rushed to the city with swords to recapture the city gate.
Syllable!
I don't know where a stone flew from, and it hit Xu Daqian's nose, and the blood spurted out instantly.
"Soul light! Who would dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu? Xu Daqian roared like a beast, but when he looked around, he suddenly became timid.
Countless pairs of angry eyes, spewing angry flames, as if they were going to burn him, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old suddenly jumped out, holding an axe for chopping wood in his hand, like crazy, and pounced on Xu Daqian.
"Brute, give back my mother's life!"
In the past, such a little cub would look at it in his eyes, but at this time, Xu Daqian's fingers were a little trembling. He gritted his teeth and raised his heavy machete.
"Little rabbit, Grandpa Xu killed you!"
As soon as Xu Daqian took a step, he suddenly felt a pain in his calf, and his huge body immediately became unstable. I don't know when, a pickaxe crossed in front of him, and it happened to trip Xu Daqian.
The young man who rushed up didn't expect Xu Daqian to be tripped up suddenly, he hesitated for a moment, and the axe immediately cut down, just looking at Xu Daqian's arm, the nail leaves flew sideways, and blood splattered. Xu Daqian screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
He had an arrow in his shoulder and another wound in his arm. Xu Daqian looks like a bear, but his body has long been hollowed out, and he has nothing to show for himself. He fell to the ground, and the people around him were immediately in sight.
The guy who was invincible in the past is so fragile, why is he still powerful, why is he still arrogant, and he treats everyone as slaves!
"Kill, kill Xu Daqian!"
The people were furious, like a torrent, and all kinds of weapons were raised at the same time, like raindrops, and smashed on Xu Daqian's body.
"Let you rob men and women!"
"Let you go on a rampage!"
"Let you do all the bad things!"
……
By the time Zhang Ke entered the city, Xu Daqian had already been overwhelmed by the crowd, barely separating the crowd, and there was only a puddle of flesh and blood on the ground, and he couldn't see a human form at all, which was disgusting.
Zhang Ke frowned, it didn't matter if he died Xu Daqian, but he didn't expect this guy to carry such a big grievance!
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, the people are water, usually calm and calm, once angry, everything can be easily destroyed!
"Folks, Xu Daqian is dead, I will truthfully report his crimes, and all the property that Xu Daqian has exploited over the years will be returned to the big guys, and as for his land, the official will also share it equally with everyone!"
Zhang Ke completely dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the people in just a few words, after all, killing Beiyu is a big crime. With Zhang Ke's words, not only will he be innocent, but he will also be able to get silver and land property, and everyone thinks that Xiao Zhang is the cutest person in an instant!
There were not many remnants of Xu Daqian in the city, and he was either killed or captured.
Zhang Ke has already taken possession of Zhenyi Fort, and the time has come to count the battle losses. The greatest damage to the soldiers was against the cavalry, when 8 soldiers were killed, 5 were seriously wounded and dying, and 13 were wounded. This casualty is not small, but with infantry against cavalry, especially when the preparation is not complete, it is definitely enough to boast of such a record.
On Xu Daqian's side, 38 of the 56 cavalry were killed, 12 were captured, the rest fled, and more than 20 of the soldiers of Zhenyi Fort were eliminated, and most of the rest became prisoners.
"Uncle Tieshan, the matter of compensating and sacrificing the brothers will be handed over to you, and one or two pieces of silver are not allowed to be bad, and after the beginning of spring, the best fields will be divided into twenty acres for each family. If you have any other requests, just ask for them, and I will do my best. ”
Qiao Tieshan nodded hurriedly, "Yongzhen, many of these boys were trained by me, and they are all good, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with the pension!" ”
Zhang Ke nodded, and at this time, the eldest brother Zhang Feng walked over quickly with a big dark horse.
"Second brother, look at Xu Daqian's war horse is really good, fat and strong, like a dragon. Almost a hundred and twenty horses were captured, so let's see what to do? ”
Zhang Ke's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with a smile: "It's good to have war horses, I'm going to form a cavalry team, and I'm going to recruit people immediately." If you encounter a bully relying on cavalry again, give me a hard beating! ”
Zhang Feng said with a smile: "That's right, second brother, Yang Long's riding skills are good, and his kung fu is great, let him lead the cavalry team!" ”
"Okay, that's it!"
Everyone is eager to clean up the battlefield and sort out the harvest.
At this time, Qiao Tieshan frowned and said: "Yongzhen, Xu Daqian is an official of the imperial court, a dignified preparation, we are not the king of bandit mountain after all, if the imperial court investigates it, will there be trouble?" ”
"Hahaha, Uncle Tieshan, of course there will be trouble, but I have already thought of a rhetoric to ensure that Xu Daqian deserves it!"
While he was talking, Wu Boyan walked over with a person. This person is not good-looking, his head is scattered, the Taoist robe on his body has become rags, and his face is crying, not to mention how ugly it is.
"My lord, this guy's name is Lan Banxian, I heard that he was the dog-headed military advisor of the Xiashan Tiger, and he ran to Zhenyi Fort and became Xu Daqian's guest, and he came up with the bad idea!"
Wu Boyan said, slamming the blue half-immortal to the ground.
When Zhang Ke heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he was worried about how to make up charges for Xu Daqian, and now that he has arrested Lan Banxian, it will be logical as soon as he is angry.
Zhang Ke immediately ordered to find out all the Mongols under Xu Daqian, a total of seventeen heads, all piled together.
Then I immediately found a pen and paper and wrote an official document for reporting.
Zhenyi Fort prepared Xu Daqian to raise bandits and collude with Mongolia. Expelling the people, relaxing border defenses, and watching what they do, it is like opening the door to thieves. There is no need to be in Xi'an, escorting the people back to Shuangshantai, Daqian is annoyed and ashamed, attacking the people, and the soldiers who rely on him use their lives to defeat Daqian. Trailing and chasing to Zhenyi Fort, the people have been suffering for a long time, full of righteous indignation, unstoppable, hundreds of people in the city hate not to eat their flesh, drink their blood, with kitchen knives and farm tools, kill Daqian, not a moment of corpse erosion.
The humble post appeared in Zhenyi Fort, and the people's hearts were calm, and there was no major trouble. I implore that personnel be dispatched immediately to reorganize the defense of Zhenyi Fort, clean up the hearts of the people, and restore the prestige of the imperial court.
……
Zhang Ke's intentions in this letter can not be described as vicious, he played a trick to transfer flowers and trees, and said that raising the Mongols and taking in Lan Banxian was a collaborator with the enemy and bandits, so that forcing the people to flee became a heinous crime. The common people were indignant and worked together to kill Xu Daqian.
Not only did Zhang Ke be completely cleaned, but even the people were not guilty, not to mention that the law did not blame the public, and with the current situation in Liaodong, it was absolutely impossible to investigate carefully.
In addition, there are the heads of the Mongols, and the blue half-immortals, which are simply a certainty.
After Zhang Ke finished writing the official document reported to Yizhou Wei, he wrote a private letter to Wang Huazhen, in which Zhang Ke mentioned the matter of his eldest brother Zhang Feng.
With Zhang Feng's current situation, he can't return to He Shixian's subordinates, he turned out to be the president, and it was more than enough to be a reserve. The eldest brother has mastered Zhenyi Fort, he holds Daqing Fort, with two forts, and there are more than 6,000 people under his jurisdiction, which is enough to train 500 elite soldiers.
Zhang Ke was not worried that Wang Huazhen would refuse such a trivial matter, and sent out official documents and letters. Without waiting for the order from above, he got busy.
Zhang Ke called Tang Bi to Zhenyi Fort and asked him to be responsible for cleaning up the people's fields and preparing for spring ploughing. He also asked his eldest brother Zhang Feng to stay in Zhenyi Fort and be responsible for recruiting and training.
Zhang Ke briefly dealt with the matter of Zhenyi Fort, hurried to Hewan Village, and plunged into the blacksmith workshop.
As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and building sophisticated and reliable weapons is definitely the first priority.
Before Zhang Ke, a few little old men had already gathered in Hewan Village, Liu Blacksmith, Sun Qi, and five or six craftsmen were sitting together, and they were the newcomers Ou Chongyuan and Zhao Lao Pimple.
Several old men were arguing with red faces, and when they saw Zhang Ke coming, they hurriedly got up to greet them.
"Old Zhao, why don't you rest for a few more days, your body is important!"
Old Zhao pimple coughed slightly: "My lord, the old man is a cheap bone, and he can't stand it if he doesn't move for a day." I'll come over to see what the blacksmith is like and if I can make weapons. ”
"How have you seen it, can you make it or not?"
"Cheng, no problem!" Lao Zhao said with a smile.
"That's good, hurry up and prepare, let's start quickly!"
"Don't!" Before Zhang Ke finished speaking, Blacksmith Liu suddenly interjected, he hurriedly waved his big black hand, and said with a white face: "Yongzhen, this blacksmith shop can't make weapons, is that overkill?" ”
Zhang Ke didn't expect Blacksmith Liu to obstruct him, and asked, "Uncle Liu, what do you think?" ”
Blacksmith Liu hurriedly said: "Yongzhen, they said that it costs forty catties of wool iron to build a firecracker, which is almost enough to build four stoves, and if you get it to the horse market, you can earn almost a dozen taels of silver, which is enough to buy two or three firecrackers!" Tell me that they are not old losers, besides, they will have to build farm tools at the beginning of spring, what if the spring plowing is delayed? ”
Lao Zhao is also a temperamental person, and said unceremoniously: "The eyes of the rat are light, can a good fire gun be compared with the tattered goods, just thinking about farm tools, thinking about one acre and three points of land, there is no fire gun, sooner or later it is planted for tartars!" ”
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, I don't believe you don't need to eat food!" Blacksmith Liu also refuted unceremoniously, seeing that the two of them were getting louder and louder the more they were arguing.
Zhang Ke finally understood, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Don't fight, in the end, the blacksmith shop is too small, I will expand immediately, make more iron, make more firearms, and play more farm tools, let's not delay, this time there is nothing to say!" ”
"Really?" Zhao Lao Pimple and Blacksmith Liu asked together.
"Hahaha, of course, isn't there charcoal in Zhenyi Fort, just buying iron ore is enough, I will double the workshop with two thousand taels, and double the number of craftsmen!"
When the two of them heard this, they were overjoyed, looked at each other and smiled, and the unpleasantness just now was put aside.
"Yongzhen is generous, and the people we work are also energetic!" Ou Chongyuan said with a smile.
With Zhang Ke's coordination, the work of building the fire gun has finally begun.
As soon as he returned from the blacksmith shop that day, Ma Biao hurriedly delivered a letter to Zhang Ke, and when he saw that the cover was Wang Huazhen's.
After only two glances, Zhang Ke shouted: "Lao Wang, Lao Wang, don't dig the foot of the wall!" ”
