Chapter 582: There are no thieves in Jindong, and the city is drunk
As soon as the three words of the little killing god came out, there was silence in the Chinese military office.
In just a few days, Zhang Zhiyuan's name as a little killing god was completely recognized by Shanxi Province for his successive pit and killing of rebel thieves in the eastern Jindong area.
In the south of Mengxian County, on the official road to the north, a huge Daming dragon flag is waving in the wind, followed by a small first-class Zhangzi flag, and finally a variety of military flags like a forest.
The most elite cavalry of the Beiping Capital Division walked in the forefront of the military formation to open the way, and the military camps ran through them in turn, marching in a long snake formation.
"Scatter!"
The herald rode on horseback, waved the small flag in his hand, and shouted loudly on the side of the military formation, conveying the general's latest military orders.
As a result, the military formation began to change, and the soldiers of the military camps, under the leadership of their own generals, began to converge with the Chinese army of the Yanwang headquarters that had already gathered under the city of Mengxian County, and the northern patrol army in Beijing that had rushed from Shouyang.
Looking at General Zhang's flag in front of him, a smile appeared on Zhu Di's face.
"Zhiyuan is finally here, there is artillery in his army to attack the city, I can enter this Mengxian city tonight."
Zhu Li glanced at the fourth child lightly: "I heard that now in Beiping City, everyone knows that the fourth brother calls Zhang Zhiyuan your blessed general." ”
"Zhiyuan is brave, dare to fight, and must take the lead in every battle, regardless of the number of enemies and me, and move forward bravely. Such a fierce general, whoever he lets go, I'm afraid he can't put it down. Zhu Di did not reserve his love for Zhang Zhiyuan, and his face and eyes were full of admiration.
After speaking, Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Yunxi on the side out of the corner of his eye.
King Yan led the troops and besieged Meng County for three days, and everyone knew what he was for.
After all, with the strength in Zhu Di's hands, even if he attacked the city, it was unavoidable. Even with his military strategy and bravery, in the past three days, Mengxian County has been able to restore people's livelihood.
The siege of the city for three days was to create an opportunity for his confidant Zhang Zhiyuan to obtain military exploits.
Far away.
Zhang Zhiyuan, who was driving a high-headed fierce horse, wearing scale armor, wearing a long knife at his waist, and holding a spear, had already arrived in front of the Chinese army outside Mengxian County.
Zhang Zhiyuan walked with a tiger, and there was a sound of steps, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi and others.
"The last general, Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, and the commander of the guards of the Yan Palace, see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and His Royal Highness the King of Yan!"
Zhu Di's hand had already stretched out a little, and he immediately reacted, withdrew his hand, and looked sideways at Zhu Yunxi.
"Get up, General Zhang worked hard all the way, captured two cities in five days, suppressed rebellions, and punished thieves. Non-stop, led his troops north to support the outside of Mengxian County, and the hardships and merits were remembered by the imperial court. Zhu Yunxi spoke calmly, his eyes were calm, but he just looked at Zhang Zhiyuan, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little strange.
He and the other party said goodbye to each other, and it was the first time in these years that they saw each other again.
Zhang Zhiyuan first landed on one knee and responded in a deep voice: "This is the responsibility of the last general, and I dare not take credit." The quelling of the rebellion of the Japanese thieves in the eastern part of the Jin Dynasty was also the concerted efforts of the brothers in the army, and the last general did not dare to steal the merits. ”
"But he is not greedy or arrogant." Zhu Yunxi showed a smile on his face and nodded: "Get up, I still need your help to attack the city later." ”
"The last general is grateful."
Zhang Zhiyuan's everything is decent, there is nothing that can be criticized, and the etiquette is even more orderly.
With Zhu Yunxi's second call, Zhang Zhiyuan finally stood up.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the fourth uncle, looked at Zhang Zhiyuan and said with a smile: "From afar, I heard that King Yan values you quite a lot and calls you a lucky general." And over there in Beiping, you also broke out of the name of a little killing god early. This time, the reputation of your little killing god has spread to Shanxi Dao. ”
Zhang Zhiyuan bowed his head and showed humility: "The last general just did what he should do, and he deserves to be in the name of killing the gods." As for the lucky general, it was also His Royal Highness King Yan who felt that the last general was doing things properly, and several jokes in the army came out. ”
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi showed a trace of curiosity on his face, then clasped his hands together, and looked sideways at the fourth uncle with a smile: "I didn't expect that our little killing god was so restrained, but it was difficult for people to associate it with his name." Such a fierce general is really the luck of the country, and now is the time for the DPRK and China to employ people, or they can be the main generals of one side. ”
Zhang Zhiyuan paused for a moment, never thinking that His Royal Highness would say these words to him in front of King Yan.
After thinking about it in his heart, Zhang Zhiyuan bowed his head and said in a low voice: "The last general is just bold, and he is not afraid of death in the military formation. ”
Zhu Di also said: "Zhiyuan is your fourth uncle's vanguard general, you kid can't look good, just want to get rid of it." At the very least, there has to be a marquis to speak again. ”
Brother Xi was really relieved with Brother Xi'er.
Zhu Di sighed a little in his heart, but finally found an opportunity to bring up the matter of Zhang Zhiyuan's knighthood.
"The country is not too small, and it is difficult to enter the knighthood according to the military merit law, and the merit of the three cities. If you lead the troops out of the customs, sweep the remnants of the former Yuan on the grassland, fall apart in the desert, and eliminate the border troubles of the country, you can be a lord. ”
Zhu Yunxi did not refuse, nor did he nod in agreement, but said the conditions.
If you want a knighthood, there is no chance in China, and if you want it, you can only go to the customs to fight out.
Zhu Di nodded, having no objection to this.
The rebellion of the Japanese thieves in the eastern part of Shanxi Province seemed to be surging, but once the imperial army was killed, these Japanese thieves just collapsed in an instant.
If Zhiyuan really became a noble person in the Ming Dynasty because he quelled the rebellion of the thieves in the three cities of Jindong, he, the prince of Yan, would have to ask the court a thing or two.
When did the title of the Ming Dynasty become so cheap and worthless.
Zhu Li watched the pair of uncles and nephews holding Zhang Zhiyuan's little killing god trick, and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Can you still fight this Mengxian County?" If you don't beat me, you can go back to the camp to eat and sleep. ”
"Hit hit!"
Zhu Di shouted a few times in a row, and turned his head to look at the head of Mengxian County, where thieves gathered.
Like all cities occupied by Japanese thieves, whenever a Japanese thief encounters a siege by the imperial court, he will always like to put the Ming people at the forefront as a cover, or mix in the Ming people.
It seems that they also know that even the life of an ordinary Ming person is not comparable to them.
After Zhu Di shouted a few times, he looked sideways at Zhang Zhiyuan beside him: "After sunset, before the moonlight, this king is going to drink with his grandson in Mengxian County." ”
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately shook his shoulder, bent over with his fists clenched, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take orders!" ”
Woooooooooooo
Outside the city of Mengxian in the cold wind, the Ming army formed a long horn.
The long sound of the trumpet was inspiring, and the atmosphere of war was pulled up from under the abyss in an instant.
Then came the heavy sound of war drums that seemed to be beating under people's chests.
The earth began to tremble.
The huge trebuchet, under the impetus of the officers and soldiers, slowly approached the city wall of Mengxian County.
In the middle of the trebuchet were the ten guns.
Although there are not many of them, they are powerful and can play a great deterrent role in thieves.
Outside the eastern, western, and northern walls of Mengxian County, the officers and soldiers who blockaded the city also received military orders and waited solemnly to guard against thieves who might escape from the city from all over the city.
In a very short period of time, countless military orders were passed on layer by layer to the ears of every officer and soldier.
"Siege!"
Zhang Zhiyuan stood on the platform, his palm against the hilt of the knife, his right hand forward, and waved slightly.
And with it.
It was the roar of artillery that rang out.
After a burst of gunsmoke, I saw the rocks splashing in the head of Mengxian County for a while.
The Ming army attacked the city, and there were not many novel technologies.
From the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, the people of the Central Plains have studied the two things of siege and defense to the peak.
Everything is going on according to the requirements of the army's drills.
This time, Zhang Zhiyuan did not take the lead again.
The credit that should be there has long been in his hands, and he doesn't have to compete with ordinary soldiers for those military merits.
With the experience of clearing out the thieves in Pingding Prefecture and Leping County, Zhang Zhiyuan is more calm at this moment when he commands the army to attack Mengxian County.
The artillery was only fired at the walls and gatehouses.
The ladder and the cart were pushed up to the city wall, and the close-quarters battle began.
"This kind of war, this king has seen too much, there is nothing to see. It's better to think about it, what will we eat and drink tonight? Although Zhu Di didn't know why Zhiyuan didn't choose to take the lead in front of Brother Xi this time, he thought that Zhiyuan had his own thoughts.
After all, from the conversation he had with Brother Xi just now, he knew that Zhiyuan still loved himself more than the high-ranking official.
Zhu Li also squinted his eyes and pondered: "The noodle soup in the northwest is naturally indispensable, and then there is a pot of stewed mutton soup and two pots of burning knives, even if the old man comes this night, he can't wake people up." ”
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and looked at the third and fourth uncles, and always felt that something was wrong.
But right now, he didn't know what was wrong.
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, things will always happen.
Zhu Yunxi began to watch the battle.
Zhang Zhiyuan faithfully fulfilled the military orders he received.
As the sun was about to set over the ridgeline of the high mountains in the west, the gates of Mengxian County were slowly opened with a creak.
On the city wall, the corpse of a thief was thrown down.
The officers and soldiers of Zhang Zhiyuan's baggage battalion began to step forward very skillfully and waited under the city gate.
When there are no longer the remains of the thieves on the city wall that will be thrown out, there will be a large group of Ming officers and soldiers behind the city gate, detaining those who have surrendered and surrendered out of the city gate.
Subsequently, the officers and soldiers of the baggage battalion who had already arrived at the scene would take over these thieves, and with the blessing of knives and guns, they urged the thieves to put the remains of the thieves under the city wall into a cart.
Then things will go a little smoother.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty only need to be responsible for supervising the whole process.
The robbers who surrendered would naturally carry the corpses on the battlefield to the low-lying places in the shade of the downwind outside the city, and then dig pits, bury the corpses, and drive the soldiers into the pits.
In the end, it was the officers and soldiers of the baggage battalion who borrowed stones from the people in the city, and when the moon was bright, only the surface of the pit would occasionally seep some blood, and the wind also carried a faint smell of blood.
It's just that these are not difficult for the officers and soldiers of Zhang Zhiyuan's baggage battalion, who have now mastered professional skills.
Quicklime powder mixed with plant ash is enough to cover everything up by throwing it all over the surface of the soil.
Quicklime is not used much, and after a few rains, it will be washed deep into the soil, and then the next spring will be full of strong grass.
The officers and men of Zhang Zhiyuan's baggage battalion, who had mastered professional skills, began to carry out the final work of dealing with the aftermath after finishing most of the things.
After the vanguard army attacked the city wall, Zhang Zhiyuan, who led the army into the city, finally rushed to the outside of the city with his own soldiers at this time.
"Qi Yu Taisun, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and now he has taken the county seat of Mengxian County, and there is no one thief entrenched in the city. The soldiers and horses of the headquarters have been divided into various places outside the city to eliminate the remnants of local thieves. ”
Shaole.
In the night, in the city of Mengxian City, where fires were lit everywhere, the officers and soldiers were dealing with post-war pacification matters in the city in accordance with the experience they had summed up.
And above the city, a huge fire will illuminate all sides.
A large iron pot is piled with freshly slaughtered fat sheep, a few pine sticks cut from outside the city, mixed with some spices, which can be regarded as a cooking technique.
After boiling the noodles in Jindi with cold water, put them in a bowl, pour them with mutton soup, and sprinkle some spicy seeds.
A big mouthful of pasta goes down, and then a big bite of mutton, with garlic in the mouth, and a sip of wine, the person will be drunk for three points.
When you get drunk, you are more likely to reveal your heart and be more straightforward than in the past.
Zhu Li hugged a leg of mutton and gnawed it viciously. It doesn't matter how much garlic you grab in your hand, you put it in your mouth.
He ate very heroically, swallowed the dates into his stomach, and poured himself a big mouthful of burning knives.
When all this is done, the person is drunk for five minutes.
Zhu Li's drunken eyes were hazy, his oily hands were clapped on the table, his eyes were red, and his face was full of red looking at Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Di.
"This time, I have to remember Brother Xi'er's goodness, in the future, there will not be so many flies and dogs in this Shanxi Road, and what the Jin Wangfu wants to do, I will not think about whether those people will drag their feet."
Zhu Li was really drunk, and his mouth began to talk nonsense.
"If it weren't for the rules and laws of the imperial court, as well as the advice of the old man and the eldest brother, I wouldn't want to kill those yamen directly with a knife in the past few years."
Zhu Di also drank a lot of wine tonight, and a wine jar was trampled under his feet, and it shattered between the swings.
His head swayed, and he snorted: "In fact, people in the world are greedy a lot, and they can't kill them all, according to what your fourth uncle said, you have to prepare a few knives in the future, and you can discard them when you run out." You can't be like the old man, his old man is the emperor who fights the country, you can compare? ”
Zhu Yunxi nodded, looking a little drunk, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.
"People's hearts are the most difficult to guess, and the rule of officials is the foundation of the society, and how can my nephew not know about the difficulties?" He smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head: "You can't kill it, but if you don't kill, you can't be deterred." Speaking of which, what my nephew has been doing now is addition, wanting to make our Daming's plate bigger. Just how about the future? ”
Zhu Yunxi was silent.
There is no guarantee that it will go forward.
Zhu Di's eyes flickered, and the wine glass in his hand was empty and full, full and empty.
"The fourth uncle will confess to you today, as long as the fourth uncle is still alive, as long as you are willing, the fourth uncle will kill for you!"
