On the fourth day of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse

On the day after Huang Shi returned, Zhao Yinggong came to look for him, but Huang Shi refused to say anything more, and Twenty said that he would leave immediately. Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhao Yinggong didn't bother to talk any more.

The army of Changsheng Island continued to carry out the boarding work, and the military households of Juehua also helped to send fresh water and other supplies to the dock. Since the third day, Huangshi announced that he was leaving, Zhao Yinggong commanded the people of Juehua Island to dig the dock, and today Huangshi boarded the ship, and he was extremely cooperative, which made the vigilant Huangshi gradually relax.

After lunch, the army on Changsheng Island basically finished the work of boarding the ship, Huang Shi saw that the artillery had already boarded the boat, and knew that he was about to leave, so he hugged Zhao Yinggong and said: "Lord Zhao will have a period later." ”

Zhao Yingong smiled and returned the salute: "There will be a period later." ”

When it was time to leave Huangshi, thinking of the cooperation in this period of time, he complimented him more: "Lord Zhao has made great contributions this time, and the court will definitely reward him, so I congratulated Lord Zhao in advance." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yinggong smiled bitterly: "General Huang said that I would rather resign than do it." ”

Huang Shi's heart moved, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked around at no one around him, and asked softly, "Lord Zhao's family matter hasn't been resolved yet?"

Zhao Yingong muttered in his stomach: "How can this be solved? Now it's too late to find witnesses temporarily, if it's all fake, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it won't be a problem if it is found out by the imperial history." You made such a big fuss last time, there are a lot of people who know, as long as you nod your head, then there is really no place to check the imperial history. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yinggong did not speak. Huang Shi sighed again, listening to what he just said, it seemed that he would rather the two sisters survive, which was a bit surprising to Huang Shi, but it also gave him more respect because of this.

The future is indeed very important to Zhao Yinggong, he supports his mother so that his younger brother can study, and he still has to count on this job. Peeking at Huang Shi's face, Zhao Yingong gritted his teeth. said in a low voice: "General Huang's fame is extremely important to the junior official, so the last time the official asked the general for help." ”

After a pause, Zhao Yingong said again: "Someone once persuaded the official to report a martyrdom to the sister-in-law. It's just that the following officials are foolish and see that it won't take a few years for General Huang to sweep away Liaodong, and if the sister is still alive at that time, then the lower officials can't recognize each other. She was homeless, so ...... So ......"

Zhao Yinggong couldn't go on anymore, but Huang Shi had already understood the meaning of his pleading, he thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Lord Zhao, can you take the liberty of asking something?"

Zhao Yinggong heard that Huang Shi had the intention of agreeing, and he was naturally overjoyed in his heart, and he thought that Huang Shi was worried that his reputation would be affected, so he hurriedly promised: "General Huang Mingjian's subordinates must be tightened like a bottle." Never reveal the slightest bit of information. ”

"Not that problem. Huang Shi is relieved, he won't go out and talk nonsense, because if this matter gets out, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for him Zhao Yinggong. Huang Shi hesitated for a moment, the reason why he was a little soft-hearted was because he heard Zhao Yingong say that he would rather give up his fame than let his sister be homeless, which really moved Huang Shi a little.

"Lord Zhao. After sweeping away the slaves, the eldest sister and the second sister are still alive...... Hehe, it's a blessing, but has Lord Zhao ever thought about what if the two of them didn't come back alone? Will Lord Zhao still recognize each other?"

Huang Shi's words first made Zhao Yinggong stunned for a moment, and when he understood, his face turned red. Looking at Huangshi angrily, it seemed that he had the posture to step forward and fight. Huang Shi also looked at him without fear, although he knew that it was very annoying to say this, but he had been a general of Liaodong for many years, and it was not once or twice that he had seen this kind of thing.

If the rescued daughter has already given birth to a child. At this time, the families of the victims naturally have fire in their hearts, and the priests of Eternal Life Island will also go to persuade them. However, many family members resolutely refused to recognize each other. There are also many people who plan to drown their children, although this requirement is in line with the morality of this era, but there are also many mothers who are unwilling to kill their children, and as a result, there have been many tragedies.

Zhao Yinggong and Huang Shi looked at each other for a while, and the momentum gradually subsided, and his head was lowered, and Huang Shi still relentlessly took the precautionary shot: "Lord Zhao, since the establishment of the slave rebellion, there have been many such tragic things among the Liao people. The last general knew that Lord Zhao was worried at this time, and hoped that they would come back safely. But did Lord Zhao ever think that they would always have to marry into someone else's family, but if they really had children, they would definitely stay in Lord Zhao's house, would you be willing to raise them?"

If Zhao Yinggong's two sisters can come back, although they will definitely not be able to marry well, it is not too much of a problem to find someone to entrust for life. In this case, the children can only stay in the uncle's house, and when they grow up, the problem of starting a family will naturally have to be handled by the uncle.

Zhao Yinggong didn't think much about it before, but now he also knew that Huang Shi was telling the truth, tilted his head, and after pondering for a while, Zhao Yinggong sighed: "If it is really my sister's flesh and blood, then I have to feed them." ”

"Since that's the case......" Huang Shi believes that Zhao Yinggong is telling the truth, because if he just wants to keep his reputation, then he can completely ignore his sister's life and death, first report a martyrdom, and then die and not recognize each other: "Okay, if the imperial history wants to impeach Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao can ask me in the self-defense, and I will testify to Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Yingong bowed deeply to the ground: "Thank you, General Huang."

Helping hands. ”

......

On the eleventh day of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Changsheng Island

After Huangshi returned to the island, he saw He Dingyuan at the dock to greet him, and the latter saw Huangshi as a big gift: "The last general has lost hundreds of soldiers, please punish him?"

"He guerrilla, please get up. Huang Shi hurriedly helped He Dingyuan up, he thought about it for a while, remembered that Zhao Slowxiong had said that there were only fifty defenders in Gaizhou, and with fifty people, it was impossible for Changsheng Island to lose a hundred people: "Brother He, but you are going to attack Haizhou?"

He Dingyuan's face was full of shame: "My lord will be greedy for merit when he sees the end." ”

Huang Shi laughed when he heard this, patted He Dingyuan's shoulder forcefully, and said, "Brother He, what is the crime? Since you can attack Haizhou, Gaizhou is naturally in the hands of our army. Brother He, isn't this a great achievement?"

"My lord has won the prize, there are only fifty Jiannu generals in Gaizhou, and the last general has fled before he reaches the edge of the city, where is there the slightest credit to speak of?"

"Although I didn't cut it, I said that it was merit. "In this good news, Huang Shi only wrote his own name, just to coordinate the overall situation, and then divide the functional land for his subordinates, this time he has a total of 760 bodies, doubling the level, which is more than 1,500 bodies. It was enough for his subordinates to slowly divide: "Go back to the old camp first, and then talk about Haizhou slowly." ”

Because Huangshi ordered to transfer back most of Gaizhou's military rations, He Dingyuan's military rations were not enough, and the whole division was dispatched, and in the end, he only brought the Panshi battalion and similar auxiliaries to attack Gaizhou. Seeing that the Ming army came with 5,000 people in one go, after Gaizhou land, the Jin army was naturally able to escape as fast as it could and how fast the soldiers were bloodless, and after capturing Gaizhou, He Dingyuan, who was still unsatisfied, sent people to the north to investigate.

At that time, Mao Wenlong had already attacked the city of Shenyang, and Li Yunrui made a cameo appearance as a chief of staff. It is determined that the Jin army will definitely go first to Shenyang and then to the Panshi battalion in Haizhou, so there is no need to worry too much about encountering a large number of enemy troops. He Dingyuan agreed with Li Yunruidi's judgment, but Yang Zhiyuan told them that they didn't have much military rations left, and if they continued north, it was best to try to attack Haizhou to see if they could seize the reserves of the Houjin army.

Although Nurhachi continuously transported the material resources back to Haizhou, after Li Yunrui's analysis, the defenders in the interior of Haizhou City were actually very limited, and the number of soldiers was by no means more than 1,000, and maybe only 500. After hearing this number, He Dingyuan made a decision to attack Haizhou and dispatched the entire Panshi battalion.

Speaking of this, He Dingyuan slapped the table. He said angrily: "Originally, there were many cannons in Haizhou, but the last general thought that those were captured by Jiannu, only cannons and no gunners, but I didn't expect that there were really many gunners in the city, and they were condescending to shoot at our army in the city tower. Inflicted heavy casualties on the troops. ”

"How many casualties and how long has the battle been?"

After hearing Huang Shi's question, one of the accompanying staff officers of Changsheng Island took out a full set of information: "My lord, here's a detailed report. ”

After the Panshi battalion returned to Changsheng Island, the staff officers who stayed behind repeatedly verified the battle of Haizhou, and they questioned almost everyone who participated in the battle in order to collect a number of people. This was the first time that the Immortals had encountered enemy artillery in an engagement. Therefore, Changsheng Island attaches great importance to it from top to bottom, and the officers and soldiers of the Rock Camp are also very cooperative.

Huang Shi carefully flipped through the information in his hand, and occasionally asked questions to the staff officers around him, while Jin Qiude sat on the other side of him and looked down at the report, and the expressions of the two of them were very stern.

"A lot of artillery. The two towers that were tentatively attacked were no less than twenty cannons, and no cannon explosions were observed. This indicates that these guns are operated by trained gunners. The two tentative attacks were not long, but each time they paid the price of fifty casualties, Huang Shi sneered and shook his head: "It seems that we have met the newly attached Han army." ”

"My lord sees it. Jin Qiude and He Dingyuan agreed in unison, and the attack on the Haizhou Panshi Battalion killed 116 people, many of whom had already undergone amputations, but still could not survive the march in the cold winter. In addition, this is also the first time that the corpses of some fallen soldiers have been abandoned on the battlefield on Changsheng Island, and in order to recapture the corpses, some of them have been damaged.

“...... The existing three-pounder guns had too short a range and would be attacked outside the effective range of our troops, so no attempt was made; the six-pounder guns could barely fire at each other, but they also had to be pushed by the gunners to brave the enemy's fire for dozens of meters before they could enter the firing range, fortunately the distance was far away, and the opponent could not shoot accurately, but we were also inaccurate at the limit distance, so we could not suppress the vitality ......of the city at all."

Huang Shi shook his head as he read it, and the whole report was very unoptimistic about the siege ability of the existing artillery, and had a high opinion of the power of the enemy's artillery...... Jiannu deployed an extremely powerful cannon at the south gate and the west gate of Haizhou, starting from 700 meters away, the cannon bombarded our army's infantry outside the city all the time, and within three days, none of them survived, causing 17 of our troops to be killed...... Our troops picked up several shells of this gun on the battlefield, and after testing by the teaching team, they appeared to be eighteen-pounder shells......"

"Eighteen-pounder bronze cannon," Huang Shi whispered the name. At the same time, he put the report flat on the table: "This should be imitated by the Equipment Engineering Department of the Guanning Military Vehicle Artillery Battalion based on the Hongyi cannon." ”

Huang Shi immediately picked up his pen and wrote down a letter of credit, and after sealing the letter, Huang Shi handed it to a staff officer: "Send a few people from the teaching team to Juehua with fifty firearms, give this letter and firestombals to Yao and Xianshen, and ask him to cooperate, let us try out the eighteen-pound bronze cannons under his command, and then record the number of jù back." ”

Obey your orders. ”

The military industry of Changsheng Island is very weak. And there are too many projects to open up the ground, and for a long time there has been no pressure on the artillery side, so there is no investment. Huang Shi thought silently for a while, and it seemed that he needed to discuss it with Bao Jiusun to see if he could start producing the nine-pound and twelve-pound iron cannons.

......

On the twenty-first day of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse

The emperor frowned, flipped Huang Shi's recital over and over several times, and couldn't help but ask Wei Zhongxian beside him, "Why is General Huang's impeachment so ridiculous?"

In this recital, Huangshi impeached Yuan Chonghuan for arrogance. calmly accepted his prostration, and did not return the salute, etc. Wei Zhongxian heard the emperor's question, nodded hurriedly, and agreed softly: "Long live Lord Gaojian, it's indeed ridiculous. ”

"It's not Lord Yuan who forced him to bow down, I guess Lord Yuan doesn't know that he carried Shang Fang's sword with him. Tianqi muttered a few more words, and finally put the chapter aside, looked at Wei Zhongxian suspiciously, and said: "General Huang is not such a ridiculous person, there must be a reason for this." ”

"Long live the Lord Ming saw that there was a secret report from Wu Mudi, the overseer of Changsheng Island. After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, a small eunuch brought another piece of music. Apocalypse grabbed Wu Mu's secret report from the plate, and tore it open violently.

After reading a few lines, the apocalypse's frowning brows relaxed, and he often exhaled: "So that's the case, it's okay." ”

"Long live the lord. With the foolishness of the old slave, Yuan Chonghuan just sighed at Liao's extravagant salary, so he said a few words when chatting. However, Dongjiang Town and Liao Town were different, and 300 members of the Dongjiang General Military Officer, Mao Wenlong, died at the hands of Jiannu, and only the eldest son was spared in Beijing...... The old slave remembered that he was a Kaiyuan man, and his family was ruined. He fled from Liaodong to Quang Ninh to serve in the army alone. ”

"Well, Lord Yuan is right, it's just that he touched Huangshi's hidden pain, and Huangshi is angry and falls on such a ridiculous impeachment, and he is not wrong. Apocalypse casually threw Wu Mu's secret music back on the plate. The expression on his face was already relaxed: "This piece will be left in the middle, and there is no need to discuss it with the cabinet." ”

"Yes. Wei Zhongxian bent down and agreed. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, someone came up and put away the two copies and took them to the archives of the palace.

The next day, Wei Zhongxian came to talk to the apocalypse again: "Long live Lord Liaodong's good news." ”

“...... Huangshi slashed 760 levels, Yao Youxian slashed 411 levels, Jin Guan slashed 385 levels, Hu Yining slashed 366 levels, Zhang Guoqing slashed 200 levels...... Man Gui slashed one hundred and twenty levels, Zu Dashou slashed eighty levels, and Zhao led the teaching to cut fifty levels......"

After reading aloud the good news, Tianqi laughed and said: "Juehua, this place is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, it turns out that there are so many fierce generals in me, haha, it sounds like they are all similar to General Huang." ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile on the side: "Long Live Lord clearly sees that this is not all because of General Huang's tiger might, if it weren't for Long Live Lord sending General Huang to Juehua, it would be good if they could not be defeated, where would there be an opportunity to make such a great contribution? ”

Apocalypse nodded approvingly, and then laughed happily twice: "Well, what you said is right, is this good news for the cabinet to discuss?"

"Back to Long Live the Lord's words have gone. ”

"Okay, Yuan Chonghuan is well planned, Juehua and Ning Yuan have won both battles, it can be seen that he is a handsome talent, Juehua, that Zhao ......," Tianqi stopped halfway through speaking, he felt that the name was on his lips, but he couldn't remember it all at once.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Zhao Yinggong." ”

"Well, yes, I expect him to be a talent, let the cabinet discuss it first, after they finish discussing the reward, don't worry about approving the red first, bring it to me first, I am afraid that they will be stingy and not reward enough." ”

Wei Zhongxian shouted, "Obey." ”

followed him, and his voice changed again: "Long live Lord Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the general administration who participated in the cabinet has already gone to the cabinet, and the cabinet is now discussing." ”

Tianqi asked in surprise, "What is Lord Yuan's ginseng?"

"Isn't it Huangshi's matter to go back to Long Live Lord's words? Lord Yuan's own words have caused discord between the civil and military. ”

"Oh, what a nuisance. Apocalypse stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and after a while, he didn't come up with any good solution, so he asked again, "What does the cabinet say?"

"Back to the Long Live Lord's cabinet, inexplicably, he asked Yuan Chonghuan to defend himself and ask Huangshi about the reason for the matter. ”

"What are you going to do to defend yourself and ask questions?" Tianqi was impatient when he heard it, and he said in a hurried tone: "Stay in China." ”

"Yes. Long live the old slave, but the old slave thinks that the civil and military discord is indeed not good for the country, and now Yuan Chonghuan is quite knowledgeable, and it is naturally fine, but the old slave thinks that it is better to praise Wen Yan, as for the Huangshi side, should it also be appeased?"

"Well, you're right. Tianqi's eyebrows furrowed again, he thought hard for a while, and felt that he didn't have a good grasp of this degree, so he directly ordered Wei Zhongxian: "You look at it, do it, and do it for me, do things a little better." ”

"Yes. ”
