Zhu Youxiao glanced at Man Gui deeply.

To be honest, he looks at this Man Gui differently than Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui has a more straightforward personality, he participates in such a thing, and he must also have a credit for Yuan Chonghuan, if it is not good, he was bewitched by Yuan Chonghuan.

Man Gui's original character was destined for him to have such twists and turns, but he was indeed involved in such a thing, if Zhu Youxiao's strength was really not enough, and their reinforcements came too late, Zhu Youxiao would most likely not survive.

So even if he slaughtered this Man Gui, there was nothing to say, thinking about it, even if this Man Gui became a demon, he would be embarrassed to come back to Zhu Youxiao.

But Zhu Youxiao just pitied Man Gui's talent.

It is said that Man Gui is a native of Xuanfu, and his ancestors are from Yi County, Yanzhou, Shandong.

When Man Gui was a little older, he was good at riding horses and archery, and every time he joined the army, he beheaded and amputated a lot of ears.

According to the regulations of the Ming army, if you behead an enemy, you can be appointed to an official position, otherwise you will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver.

Man Gui has repeatedly received bounties, but he has not been able to get an official position.

He was nearly thirty years old before he became the general banner, and it took another ten years to become the head of hundreds of households.

Later, after several promotions, Man Gui finally achieved the Chaohe River garrison, when Yang Hao recommended a few young generals who knew military affairs in the case of the defeat of the four routes, and first recommended Man Gui.

Man Gui then moved his troops to garrison Loess Ridge, during which he was appreciated by the governor Wang Xiangqian, and successively promoted him to serve as a guerrilla on Shitang Road and a general at Xifengkou.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the scholar Sun Chengzong served as the border marshal, and Man Gui went in to meet him, Sun Chengzong saw his mighty appearance, talked about military affairs with him, and praised him extraordinarily.

When Sun Chengzong came out to guard Shanhaiguan, he promoted Man Gui to be the deputy commander-in-chief and was responsible for the affairs of the Chinese army.

Under Sun Chengzong's curtain, many civil and military officials came to see him, but Sun Chengzong only appointed Man Gui.

Man Gui has a very rude personality, but he is loyal and brave, different from the ordinary, not good-looking, and can share weal and woe with the soldiers.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong planned to go out to repair Ningyuan City, and asked the general if he could go to garrison.

Ma Shilong recommended Sun Ji and Li Chengxian, but Sun Chengzong did not agree.

Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Yuanyi said: "Man Gui can, but he is your Chinese army, and we dare not invite him out." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Since he can, it doesn't matter if he is a Chinese army or not." ”

So, he called Man Gui and told Man Gui, and Man Gui readily agreed and asked for his life.

Ma Shilong suspected that Man Gui's ability was not good, but Sun Chengzong didn't listen, so he set up a banquet on the same day and served for him.

After Man Gui arrived in Ningyuan, he and Yuan Chonghuan worked together to build the city wall, so that Ningyuan stood majestically and became an important town in Liaodong.

At that time, some Mongolian tribes were stationed in the eastern suburbs of Ningyuan to graze, and the people of Liaodong who came to join Ningyuan were robbed by them, and Sun Chengzong was very worried about this.

In February of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong sent Man Gui and the chief military officer You Shilu to attack them at the Daling River.

As a result, the Mongolian tribes cried and fled westward, and the eastern suburbs of Ningyuan were at peace.

In addition, the Gongtu, Fried Flowers, Zaisai and other tribes are superficially obedient and secretly want to rebel, and Man Gui is good at mastering and dealing with them, and these tribes are obedient, and they also save countless rewards every year.

At the beginning, Ningyuan City was full of barren hills and ruins outside the city, and after Mangui took office, more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians cultivated here and cultivated 50 miles away from the city.

Sun Chengzong reported the merits of Man Gui, and the imperial court issued an edict to promote him to the governor of the capital, and added the rank of chief soldier.

Sun Chengzong then ordered him to take charge of the rear and fight with Zhao Shujiao in the front.

Yang Chengxiu, the governor of Langzhong, withheld military rations, and the deputy general Xu Lian inspired a mutiny and besieged Yuan Chonghuan's office.

Because they were afraid of the courage of Man Gui's soldiers, they did not dare to surround him, so they fled in groups to the east.

Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan caught up with the perpetrators of the mutiny, pacified the rest of the men, and brought them all back.

On the twenty-third day of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Houjin sent tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Ningyuan, and there was a great earthquake near and far.

On the 24th day of the first month, the Jiannu army surrounded Ningyuan, and Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan defended the city.

The Later Jin army began to attack the southwest corner of the city, and they fired Hongyi cannons and wounded many of the besieging Later Jin troops.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the Houjin army turned to attack the city wall south of Ningyuan, and they repelled it with firearms, so the siege was lifted.

Zhu Youxiao knew from his memory that he was very happy at that time, and promoted Man Gui to the governor of the capital, and actually the chief military officer.

Later, Zhu Youxiao even added the rank of Man Gui to the right governor, and the shadow was deputy to a thousand households, hereditary.

Man Gui wrote a letter of thanks, and described his own merits.

Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to give a commendatory answer to Man Gui, and promoted him to the governor of the left capital.

Man Gui had a good relationship with Zhao Shujiao at the beginning, and in this battle, Man Gui hated Zhao Shujiao for not coming to rescue him in person, and blamed each other from then on.

After Zhu Youxiao heard about it, he issued an edict to admonish and encourage.

Then Yuan Chonghuan had a discord with Man Gui, and wrote that he was full of ambition and insulted his colleagues, and he was afraid that he would delay the major affairs of the frontier, so please transfer him to another military town and hand over the affairs outside the customs to Zhao Shujiao.

Many ministers knew that Man Gui was competent, but they were worried that they might do bad things in a city, so Zhu Youxiao summoned Man Gui back.

The ministers of the overseer king tried to say that Man Gui could not be transferred, but the order to summon him back had already been given.

Wang Zhichen asked him to arrange him at the gate of Shanhaiguan, but Yuan Chonghuan did not listen.

In leap June of the same year, the imperial court ordered Man Gui to handle the affairs of the Chinese military government in his original position. Soon, Yuan Chonghuan regretted it himself and asked to adopt Wang Zhichen's opinion.

Zhu Youxiao then agreed, let Man Gui hang the seal and move the gate of Zhenshan Customs, and concurrently lead the garrisons of the four roads outside the Guanwai, Yanhe, Jianchang and other places, and gave him the sword of Shang Fang in order to increase his authority. Eight Chinese Net

In May of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Houjin army surrounded Jinzhou, divided its forces to enter Ningyuan, and Mangui sent troops to rescue and was surrounded in Lishan Mountain.

Man Gui and the general soldier You Shilu rushed to the front line, and the battle was equal, so they entered the city of Ningyuan and discussed with Yuan Chonghuan how to defend.

Soon, the Houjin army came to the city, and Man Gui led the deputy general You Shiwei and others out of the city to meet the battle, killing and wounding many Houjin troops, and Man Gui himself was seriously injured.

After the good news was delivered, the imperial court added an official to Man Gui as the crown prince and prince, and Shiyin brocade clothes were served.

After Yuan Chonghuan left his post and left, Wang Zhichen served as the supervisor again, admired Man Gui's talent very much, and asked the imperial court to still send him to guard Ningyuan.

When the Mongol tribes such as fried flowers were scattered, Man Gui and Wang Zhichen summoned many Mongols to settle under their subordinates, and also recruited these people as their own troops, which greatly expanded the cavalry power of Liaodong.

These are the credits of Man Gui.

However, no matter how great the merit is, it can't fill the hole of rebellion and bad intentions!

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
