Chapter 112: Towards the Peak of Life
A little beauty with good skills like a flower and jade, was stuffed by Wang Yue to be an entourage.
Zhang Zhou felt very weird.
After entering the barracks, Zhang Zhou was very unceremonious to let the girl who seemed to be named Wang Mingshan go aside, and he wanted to talk to Wang Yue alone.
"Wang Shilang, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Zhou wanted to ask, you brought a granddaughter here, and asked her to kneel for me, and asked her to be my personal bodyguard, I don't know how to deal with myself when I am so enthusiastic.
Zhang Zhou probably also saw some signs.
If he was just a close minister of the emperor's side, Wang Yue would stammer.
What's more, Wang Yue still needs him to calculate when the Tatars will go out to get the opportunity to regain the title of military merit, and he is even more courteous to him.
Zhang Zhou didn't even know if this girl was Wang Yue's own granddaughter, or a niece or granddaughter...... It has been recorded in history that Wang Yue once gave a favored singer beside him to his thousands of households, so that those thousands of households were loyal to him.
In the past, he didn't give women to the powerful, because his two backers, Wang Zhi and Li Guang, were both eunuchs.
Now it is replaced by Zhang Zhou, who is not a eunuch......
With Wang Yue's character, even if he really gave a little granddaughter to Zhang Zhou, Zhang Zhou would not feel strange.
Wang Yue smiled and said: "Old man, this granddaughter, can Mr. Zhang still look at it?" ”
In a word, it's almost a matter of picking out the words.
Zhang Zhou glanced at the girl who was standing not far away, and said with a smile: "If you can see it, you don't dare to look at it." ”
Who doesn't know that you Wang Yue has ulterior motives?
If you give me benefits, you naturally want to get what you want from me, and it is not certain who will lose at that time.
Wang Yue Zhengse said: "This is the third daughter of the second son of the old man, my Wang bloodline, she has always admired the hero, if Mr. really looks down on her, let her follow Mr. Saddle before and after the horse, others will not have any gossip." ”
You say no gossip, no gossip?
Zhang Zhou thought to himself.
Or how do you say that your old Wang is a "connoisseur" of gift-giving?
Knowing that the wind is tight now, and others dare not accept it if you give away family wealth or something, you will find another way to give your own granddaughter as a gift to others...... You're really ...... Do whatever it takes to prosper the family.
"I'm not a hero." Zhang Zhou smiled.
Wang Yuedu began to put a high hat on him.
Wang Yue said: "Mr. Zhang can anticipate things like a god, save Daming in danger, and save the lives of old people, how can chivalrous courage not be considered a hero?" The little granddaughter, who has lost her mother since she was a child, is blessed to be by her husband's side......"
Speaking of which, they are all talking about the issue of "bribery".
"Wang Shilang, be cautious, Miss Wang is from a famous family, and she will have a good home in the future."
Zhang Zhou smiled, not wanting to talk to Wang Yue about this anymore.
Sending a woman is also a bribe, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that your bribery method is to make me Zhang and you more deeply bound.
It's better to send the money directly.
Wang Yue hurriedly followed Zhang Zhou's footsteps and said, "Sir, as long as you reveal when the Tatars will come, the rest of the matter will be handed over to the old man." Sir, don't have any burden, even if you don't believe it, this girl can follow you, and it is also her cultivation in her previous life......"
……
……
Zhang Zhou did not stay in the barracks for long.
just made an appointment with Wang Yue to meet again, and didn't say what he was going to do next time.
After Zhang Zhou returned to the city, he went directly to find Zhu Feng.
inquired about what Zhu Feng had said before that his father was going to transfer him to the Governor's Mansion.
“…… Father's meaning, even if it is a thousand households, I can't do big things, my father wants me to be a guard commander, after a few years of training, I may be promoted to a guard commander, deputy chief officer, etc., if there is anything in the future, the Zhu family will rely on me. ”
Although Zhu Feng himself has no plans to inherit Chengguo Gong, or earn a new title and come back.
But his dad was clearly thinking bigger.
Being a brocade guard commanding a thousand households, no matter how beautiful it is, it is just messing around, and it is far from giving the old Zhu family a second title.
If you want a knighthood, you have to go to war.
Zhang Zhoudao: "If you are asked to follow Wang Shilang and go to the northwest to fight, do you dare?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Of course, Zhu Feng looked arrogant, but he immediately said with some surprise, "Is Wang Shilang willing to accept someone like me?" Brother Zhang, you don't know how high Wang Weining's prestige in the army is, even if it is his father, he doesn't dare to raise his head when he sees him, the military orders he gives must be carried out by anyone, even if the Guogong violates the military order, he will be punished if he should be beaten, and if he misses the fighter, he will be punished on the spot. ”
Wang Yue's reputation in the army can be said to be unmatched at the moment.
This is also why there is a crisis in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court wants to recommend candidates for the governor of the three sides, and this position will fall to a Wang Yue who has been robbed of the title.
Even after so many years have passed, after Wang Yue came out of the mountain, he can still walk sideways in the northwest.
Wang Yue is not as easy-going as he usually appears...... In other words, Wang Yue would only be so easy-going when he saw Zhang Zhou, and he was a god-like existence in the army.
Zhang Zhou smiled: "What if I help you introduce you?" ”
"Huh? This...... Won't this ...... Not so good? Zhu Feng said, "I'm afraid that I'm like me, who has never had experience on the battlefield, and I haven't even touched the talisman, so I went to pull the hind legs, and I heard that Wang Weining doesn't like this kind of request very much, and he uses all the generals he thinks are suitable in the army." ”
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "As long as you have a heart, it's fine." I'll see him tomorrow, show him something, and come with me when you have time!" ”
"Oh......"
Zhu Feng responded casually.
Originally, Zhu Fu asked him to go to the Governor's Mansion, but he was not very happy.
With a gentleman like him, he feels tired of being a brocade guard in the capital, let alone going to the northwest for "training".
Now it seems that Zhang Zhou and his father have the same idea, they have to stuff it into his army, and he feels as if his hard days are coming, and his future is bleak.
……
……
The fifth day of the lunar month.
Zhang Zhou took Zhu Feng and went to see Wang Yue together.
This time, it was Zhang Zhou who took the initiative to invite Wang Yue over and went to the south of the city, in front of a small workshop, and asked people to carry things into the carriage.
Wang Yue served in the Ministry of War, and with his prestige, he could not be said to be the left squire of the Ministry of War, and it was more than enough to be a secretary of the Ministry of War, and twenty years ago in the thirteenth year of Chenghua, Wang Yue had already served as a secretary of the Ministry of War......
However, Wang Yue and the current Shangshu Ma Wensheng had some estrangement during the Chenghua period because of their military ranks.
After Wang Yue returned to the dynasty, he was not valued in the military department, and many affairs should have been taken care of by him, the left servant, and they were also handed over to others.
So recently, Wang Yue didn't care about the position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of War, and even the secretary of the Ministry of War was not his goal, he was bent on another great victory in the northwest, and pinned his hopes on Zhang Zhou.
For Zhang Zhou, he can almost be on call.
"Mr. Zhang, you let the old man come here today, but what's the big deal?"
When Wang Yue saw Zhang Zhou, he looked stammering.
Zhu Feng on the side was stunned.
Is this still the world-famous Wang Weining who broke Di Yi in Hongyanchi, Weininghai, Yansui and Helan Mountain, making Di Yi frightened and famous all over the world?
Looking at the appearance of this person stammering with Zhang Zhou, I am afraid that he is not even as good as an ordinary official, just like a market businessman...... You, Wang Weining, are still the left servants of the military department.
Zhang Zhou said: "Wang Shilang, I have something here, I want you to see how powerful it is, and see if it can come in handy on the battlefield." ”
"What?"
Wang Yue was curious.
All you have to do is tell me when the Tatars will be ready to move, so that I can have the opportunity to send troops to catch their movements, and you don't have to worry about the rest, you see that you have so many mysterious things.
It's a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Zhang Zhou introduced Zhu Feng to Wang Yue: "This is Zhu Feng, the second son of Chengguogong." Zhijie, come and meet Wang Shilang. ”
Zhu Feng was excited, as if he had seen an idol, and saluted: "The younger generation will see Wang Shilang." ”
When Wang Yue glanced at Zhu Feng, his eyes carried a lofty aura, and even some disdain that no one in his eyes.
Even your Zhu Feng's father and husband don't pay attention to it, let alone you, a stinky kid?
Wang Yue didn't bother to talk to Zhu Feng, because it didn't seem to be that necessary.
Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "In the next plan, let Zhijie go to the northwest and have a training experience with Wang Shilang." ”
Wang Yue's eyes lit up and said: "Then the preparations should be carried out in the near future?" ”
Zhang Zhoudao: "Don't be in a hurry, it will be the middle of the first month at the earliest, the Tatars will attack or in the middle and early February, the direction of the attack should be at the Partial Head Pass and other places. ”
"Understood, understood!"
Wang Yue's body was full of blood.
After asking for a long time, Zhang Zhou can be regarded as saying what he cares about.
Even in February...... For him Wang Yue, his heart is enough to settle down.
With my body, it's no problem to stay up for another two months, as long as it's not three years and five years.
Then Wang Yue looked at Zhu Feng with a smile and said: "Jiangmen Huzi, very good, if the old man still has a chance to lead the troops in the northwest, you will follow the old man by his side, and the old man will ensure that you have a chance to perform in the big battle!" ”
"Thank you, Elder Wang!"
Zhu Feng is also a little enthusiastic.
With Zhang Zhou's introduction, you can directly find Wang Yue as your life mentor and get on Wang Yue's boat.
wanted to be a brocade guard at the beginning, so he went to the East Palace to be a bodyguard for the prince.
Now as soon as he joins the army, he will be Wang Weining's right and left hand.
I, Zhu, am about to reach the peak of my life!
Zhang Zhoudao: "Then let's move?" ”
"Okay, okay." Wang Yue also seemed to be eager to see what good things Zhang Zhou had.
Zhang Zhou wants to show Wang Yue.
Naturally, it is the power of nitroglycerin.
It's not that he doesn't want to wait for the future to do it himself...... In fact, the intensity of the battlefield in this era exceeded Zhang Zhou's expectations.
From armament to firearms and equipment, if Zhang Zhou has not seen it with his own eyes, he doesn't know how luxurious it is.
Only in the defense of Beijing after the Battle of Tumubao, Yu Qian sent people to Tumubao to clean up the battlefield, and the firearms that were sorted out included "more than 11,000 guns, more than 20,000 guns, 440,000 arrows, and more than 800 artillery", which were still abandoned things obtained from cleaning the battlefield.
If you just want to build a few guns and a few cannons, no matter how advanced you are, don't want to achieve a crushing victory in this era of cold weapon dominance.
If you want to win, you still have to rely on knowledgeable generals and knowledgeable soldiers.
