Chapter 034

Huang Zuxin took Cheng Shijie's official document and hurriedly glanced at it, he subconsciously looked at the sky outside the window, and muttered: "The sun hasn't set yet!" ”

Jin Yousheng is also suspicious, Cheng Shijie's courage is too big, right?

Can this kind of joke be made?

"Cheng Qianhu is really ......"

Another commander, Shi Wenli, read the official document and said with a solemn face: "Commander, I'm afraid that Cheng Qianhu has lost the battle!" ”

Hearing this, Jin Yousheng's heart sank.

That's right, Shi Wenli's words are not unreasonable, after all, only after a big defeat will he ask for supplies and support from the command and envoy Si Yamen, and only then will he say that he has won a big defeat and won a big battle, and this will make up such a nonsense.

It's just that you want supplies, and as for the bandits who are killed, it's too simple.

Now that there are so many homeless people, just send an army to surround a group of homeless people, and insist that the other party is a bandit from the Qin Five Divisions, what else can those homeless people do?

There are two official words, no matter how you say it, it is Cheng Shijie's reason.

Thinking of this, Jin Yousheng said: "Don't care about this official document, the army is assembled and will leave tomorrow morning!" ”

After giving this order, Jin Yousheng reacted, this official document does not seem to be a false report of war exploits, reversing black and white, because the number of prisoners and beheadings is zero and round.

What's more critical is that Cheng Shijie has already explained in the official document that he captured the bandit Qin Wu, you must know that Qin Wu is not an unknown person, whether it is Dengzhou Wei or Dengzhou Mansion, there are too many people who know Qin Wu, and it is easy to distinguish the true from the fake.

"Could it be that Cheng Shijie really won the battle?"

This thought stopped in Jin Yousheng's mind for a few breaths, and was thrown out of his mind.

Zuo Qianhu should be the most erosive one of the eight thousand households in Dengzhou Wei, the predecessor Zuo Qianhu Gao Wang was bent on making money, and sold almost all the blades and equipment of Zuo Qianhu, of course, Jin Yousheng also took advantage of it, otherwise, he would not allow Gao Wang to be presumptuous.

What's more critical is that the other thousand households raise some family soldiers, and at the end they will raise hundreds of family soldiers, but Gao Wang only has twenty-three family soldiers, and his family soldiers only eat better than ordinary military households, and the equipment is not surprising, which means that Zuo Qianhu has almost no combat effectiveness.

There was no real information, and Jin Yousheng was also a little irritable, so he took something to eat indiscriminately, fell asleep, and recuperated in order to quickly arrive at Zuo Qianhu.

Dengzhou City, Shiqiao Lane, Cheng Shijie's mansion.

Since Cheng Shijie left Dengzhou, he has never returned, leaving only Yang Yunniang and the seriously injured Chen Guodong, after more than a month of treatment, Chen Guodong, who was seriously injured, came back to life.

Of course, more than a hundred of his brothers died because of his trilogy, which made his will a little depressed. After Chen Guodong's body slowly recovered, he took on the usual work of buying vegetables.

"Chen Da, it's early!"

"Morning, Aunt Hu"

"You go grocery shopping!"

"Well, grocery shopping!"

At the entrance of Chen Guodong's Gulou Street, she hadn't had time to buy vegetables, but when she saw Yang Yunniang walking quickly from a distance, her face became pale, and she couldn't walk steadily.

Chen Guodong was a little surprised: "Yun Niang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Go home!"

Yang Yunniang hugged Xiao Jiaxin and walked quickly towards the house in Shiqiao Lane.

Chen Guodong put the vegetable basket on the stone table, and then put a handful of copper coins on the table: "What's wrong?" ”

"The owner is in danger!"

Yang Yunniang suddenly took out a handful of copper coins, and there were a few pieces of broken silver in it: "The bandit Qin Wu led four or five thousand bandits to attack the Zuo Qianhu Office, and the owner is only afraid that it will be more auspicious." Chen Guodong, you help me watch the child, if I can't come back, you will raise Jiaxin as a daughter! ”

Chen Guodong glanced at Yang Yunniang lightly: "Okay, don't use the agitation method, I'll go, my Chen Guodong's life was given by the owner, I know how to do it!" ”

"No, you can't!"

Yang Yunniang hurriedly said: "No, I can see that you are good, I'm afraid ten or eight people are not your opponents......"

"Alright, don't say any more, I'll definitely bring the owner back safely!"

Chen Guodong walked to the back room, here are the two long knives left by Cheng Shijie before he took office, one is the Tang straight knife, and the other is the Qi family knife, the appearance of the Qi family knife is very similar to the Japanese knife, it is the comprehensive advantages of Qi Jiguang's fundamental Japanese knife, Yanling knife, and Miao knife, and the knife invented.

The biggest advantage of Qijia knives is that they are cheaper than Japanese knives, and they can be equipped in large quantities and are easy to manufacture. The knife is a steel-clad structure that is the outside and soft on the inside, and the Qijia knife is a steel structure with a soft and hard body.

Of course, this Qijia knife is an imitation of the shape, which is made of high-carbon steel in later generations and processed by quenching process. In later generations, the high-tech production of knives will almost never be tempered, but directly with billets, lathe processing and direct forming, the surface of the data machine polishing.

Chen Guodong pinned the Tang straight knife and the imitation Qi family knife to his waist, wrapped a bag of dough cakes in a cloth from the kitchen, took a gourd of wine, and left Shiqiao Lane in this way.

When Cheng Shijie returned with the captives, everyone cheered like thunder. When they saw the bandits attacking in a big way, the military households of Zuo Qianhu were terrified. If it was in the past, everyone would have been a rotten life, and they would not be afraid.

But the problem is that since Cheng Shijie served as a thousand households, he used the method of cash-for-work to let all the military households repair the city walls, warehouses, and military camps, and even level the roads in the thousand households and dredge the culverts in the city.

Thanks to Cheng Shijie's foresight, he repaired the city wall in advance, although it was protected by a thick city wall, he was also frightened, and he didn't know if he could hold it. When the military households faced the bandit siege, they desperately resisted, on the one hand, for Cheng Shijie's heavy reward, and on the other hand, for themselves.

Now, Cheng Shijie has a horse, and the bandits have been wiped out in one battle, and the big stone in everyone's hearts has finally been put down!

Cheng Shijie returned to the house of a thousand households, although he did not fight this time, he walked back and forth for more than 500 miles, although he was in a carriage, he was not lightly tired.

Cheng Shijie had just drunk a cup of hot tea, and Song Kangnian came over.

"Senhe-sama, what are your plans?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Lord Qianhu wiped out more than 4,000 people from the five bandits of Qin in one battle, this kind of record is naturally nothing in the border army, but in Dengzhouwei, it is very dazzling!"

Cheng Shijie nodded and said, "Cheng also knows these things." Last year, Dengzhou Wei encircled and suppressed Qin Wu, suffered a fiasco, lost more than 1,000 people, and almost beat the entire Dengzhou Wei miserably, and now this battle is there, they must want to share a war achievement! ”

"If the Lord of the Thousand Households agrees, and they get a piece of the battle, then they will all be happy; If the Thousand Households don't agree, you will be their enemy, and they will definitely do their best to hold you back. ”

Cheng Shijie smiled bitterly: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" ”

"Now Lord Qianhu is the towering tree of Dengzhou Wei, if you can't let them next to you, they will definitely uproot you by any means!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Then share a share of the war exploits and go out, however, this war exploits cannot be divided in vain, this thousand households want horses, equipment, and silver!" ”

"None of these things are a problem, I'm afraid that Lord Qianhu doesn't want them!"

Cheng Shijie knows a truth very well, a thousand birds in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand.

The imminent outbreak of the Wuqiao Mutiny will tear open the veil of Shandong's false prosperity and uncover the disguise of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty.

What position can he be promoted again?

Just like when he promoted Zhou Yandong to the deputy of Zuo Qianhu, he went one step further and served as the commander of Dengzhou Wei at most, which was a four-grade martial arts.

Although the official position of the commander is higher than that of a thousand households, the management of things such as the tuntian, military training, patrol and arrest, and military weapons is even inferior to that of a thousand households.

Especially when there are three mothers-in-law on the top of the head, doing things under the nose of the mother-in-law, this feeling is actually not pleasant.

Giving up part of the military merits in exchange for some benefits is the maximization of benefits.

The current Cheng Shijie's family background is too small, he only has a total of more than 200 high-quality sabers, 600 horizontal knives, six bowls, three old-fashioned artillery, 47 firearms, 22 bird mills, and a considerable number of captured swords and weapons, these things are all tatters, and there is no way to use them directly.

Cheng Shijie had no choice but to recruit craftsmen from the Thousand Households Institute to recast these captured weapons, recast them that should be recast, and repair them to repair, in addition to weapons, Cheng Shijie set up a complete quilt factory in the Thousand Households, specializing in the production of cotton clothes, military uniforms, shoes and socks, etc., to meet domestic demand.

The number of soldiers has been expanded to more than 500 people, and the establishment is two divisions, plus one directly subordinate military justice corps, one directly subordinate guard corps, and one directly subordinate medical detachment.

So far, there are only two mediocre doctors in the medical team.

Cheng Shijie even sent his two sons out, letting Cheng Shi serve as the head of the military law team, and Cheng Hu as the head of his personal guard.

It took three days to distribute the rewards of the soldiers and military households this time, and Cheng Shijie's one-time expenditure was more than 6,700 stone of grain, plus more than 4,900 taels of silver.

The soldiers and soldiers who received the reward were very happy.

On the fourth day, that is, August 21 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Cheng Hu reported to Cheng Shijie: "Father-in-law, Dengzhou Wei sent someone here!" ”

"How many people came?"

"There are four or five thousand people, and the line stretches for more than ten miles!"

Cheng Shijie asked: "How far is it from our Thousand Households City, less than thirty miles, according to their marching speed, they should be able to reach Thousand Households City before sunset in the afternoon!" ”

"Very well, let's start preparing!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Load the head, escort the prisoners, let's go to Dengzhou City!" ”
