"General Zu, it seems that you have something on your mind."

Yang Chengying held the wine glass and came to Zu Tianshou.

"Oh, General. The last general was born in the Liaoxi Wang clan, and now that Liaoxi has fallen, I don't know if they have withdrawn. ”

Zu Tianshou got up and said worriedly.

His ancestors were from Chuzhou, and Xuande moved to Daoning Yuancheng in five years, multiplying from generation to generation, and became a local noble family.

His father's ancestor undertook training, and accompanied the Liaodong General Commander, Ning Yuanbo Li Chengliang to the Western Expedition, and became the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong.

However, when Tieling was broken by the Houjin army, Li Chengliang's clansmen were all killed.

He feared that his family would face the same fate as the Li Chengliang clan.

According to the news, 100,000 soldiers and civilians in western Liaoning moved into Shanhaiguan with Xiong Jingluo. I think they should be among them. ”

Yang Chengying was relieved: "If you are not at ease, I can send someone to Shanhaiguan to contact them." ”

"Really?" Zu Tianshou's face was happy.

"Of course." Yang Chengying asked, "Who is in charge of the ancestral family now?" ”

"My brother Zu Tianbi."

"Oh, it's him." Yang Chengying blurted out.

Historically, Zu Tianbi was nicknamed "Zu Er Madman", and once led the ancestral army to open the camp of Huang Taiji.

Later, when the Qing Dynasty was revising history, in order to cover up this matter, the dead one of the close servants who sharpened the knife for Huang Taiji was written on the list of the dead in the Battle of Changshan.

"The general knows his brother?" Zu Tianshou asked.

"Well, I've heard of it."

Yang Chengying casually covered up: "I heard that he is the only member of the ancestral family and is famous. ”

"So-so." Zu Tianshou was happy, "If the general sees his appearance, he will definitely not be able to think of it." ”

Yang Chengying nodded: "I will write to Geng Zhongyu and ask him to get this matter done." ”

"If you can, please put me in touch with someone."

"Who?"

"Wu Xiang, my brother-in-law."

Whew!

The famous Wu Sangui's father, who is considered by some scholars to be a "waste" Guanning military general - Wu Xiang!

This is also a heavyweight.

Yang Chengying thought for a moment and said seriously: "Otherwise, you write a letter to your family, and I will send someone to send it."

Tell them if they're willing to come to the Golden State. ”

"It's better!"

Zu Tianshou was overjoyed: "Although my brother-in-law's ability is insufficient, it is no problem for him to guard the city and do some chores." ”

"Okay, that's it."

Yang Chengying agreed on his lips, but he was beating the drum in his heart.

During the Battle of Changshan, Wu Xiang led a rabble, and the elite of the Guanning army was held by Song Wei.

The Houjin army, under the leadership of Dai Shan and others, concentrated on attacking Wu Xiangbu.

Wu Xiangbu couldn't resist it, so he could only retreat in defeat.

What is outrageous is that tens of thousands of elites of the Guanning army were trapped by the large array of Cheying set up by Sun Chengzong, and they had no time to rescue and could not attack.

Huang Taiji brought in the Hongyi cannon and bombarded Song Wei.

Song Wei's army was completely annihilated.

What's even more outrageous is that when Wu Xiang was against Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming against Shandong, he actually beat them to the ground.

In short, it's hard to put into words.

The banquet did not disperse until very late, and Yang Chengying couldn't remember when he fell asleep that night, and he didn't get up until three o'clock the next day.

In my memory, this is the second time.

"Husband, wake up."

Yingniang pushed the door in, followed by a maid carrying washing water and toothbrushing supplies.

"What hour?"

Yang Chengying wanted to get up, but found that he had no strength.

"Probably yes."

Ying Niang said, helping Yang Chengying to pull up the curtain and hang it up.

Positive? Ten o'clock!

It's over, it's overdone.

Yang Chengying forced his uncomfortable body and sat up from the bed.

"Husband, if you feel uncomfortable, you can lie down for a while."

Yingniang looked distressed, and quickly took off her clothes from the hanger and draped them on Yang Chengying's body.

"I also said that I led by example and slept so late!"

Yang Chengying got out of bed.

The maids brought toothbrushing supplies and washbasins.

He hurriedly brushed his teeth and washed his face.

"You, the accompanying soldiers have been ordered by you to rest for three days, why don't you yourself take a day off." Yingniang handed over the towel.

Yang Chengying washed his face, took the towel, and wiped his face.

"This is different, there are a bunch of things waiting for me in Golden State City."

After wiping, Yang Chengying threw the towel directly into the washbasin.

The maids all withdrew.

"Hmph, you always have a reason." Ying Niang smiled.

Yang Chengying took her into his arms: "This is called different identities and different responsibilities." I'll go to the blacksmith shop first, and when I get back, I'll start dinner. ”

It's responsible for casting the bird's gun, and it's always on my mind.

Ying Niangqiao blushed and nodded.

"Let's go!"

Yang Chengying walked out of the bedroom, called Geng Zhongming, braved the goose feather snow, and rode to the blacksmith shop.

Not only Mao Yuanyi and Qi Dazhuang were there, but Sun Yuanhua was also there.

The blacksmith shop was busy.

Someone is pulling bellows, someone is adding coal.

Seeing that Yang Chengying was coming, Mao Yuanyi and others hurried out to greet him.

"Mr. Sun, why don't you have a good rest, just come here."

Yang Chengying turned over and dismounted, and asked.

"Like the general, I have been away for such a long time, and I remember it."

Sun Yuanhua rubbed his hands.

The bird guns cast from here have always had a very low explosion rate. Gradually, the bird guns that were allocated by the Beijing camp in the past were put aside and their own bird guns were used.

So, take a look the next day.

Knowing that Yang Chengying was tired, he didn't go to Yang Chengying, but came here alone.

"It's the same."

Yang Chengying sighed into the palm of his hand, and said while rubbing his hands: "The weather is so cold, can you use the lost wax method to cast a cannon!" ”

"That's what I mean." Sun Yuanhua's eyes lit up.

"There's no hurry, I think it's better to wait."

Yang Chengying stopped: "When Mr. Sun has rested enough, we will cast the cannon again." Don't cast the cannon yet, first exhaust yourself. ”

It was indeed cold outside, and a few people chatted and entered the blacksmith shop together.

Looking at the furnace after furnace, I felt very comforted to see the blacksmiths skillfully operating.

"When spring begins, we still have to build a few better stoves again."

Yang Chengying still found out that some stoves were in a hurry and were in a hurry.

"That's a good idea. Find some skilled plasterers, and the town will have them. ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded: "I just don't know if the plasterer in Zhenyu City is willing to come to Jinzhou City." ”

"It's not a big problem. I pay them a high salary and am willing to come to the Golden State to settle down in the house, but I don't believe that no one comes. ”

Yang Chengying walked and walked to the place where the birds were released.

When I opened the door, I saw that the birds inside were neatly arranged.

The ignition part of each bird gun is wrapped in cloth. The muzzle of the gun was also covered with a cloth and tightly tied with a rope.

"Yes, that's maintenance."

Yang Chengying nodded appreciatively.

was about to take a bird's gun to take a closer look, but saw Geng Zhongming walk in.

"General, Geng Zhongyu is back."

"Oh? So fast. ”

Yang Chengying frowned slightly, retracted his outstretched hand, and turned around to leave the house.
