Chapter 60 A trip to Xuzhou

Xuzhou has always been the key to the North and the gateway to the South. It is also the junction of six provinces. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. In addition, the south has always been the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the city of Xuzhou is built with high walls and thick walls.

With abundant food stored, it is almost a delusion to besiege the city and capture this place.

However, the bandits are different from ordinary sieges. The bandits can roam around and eat wherever they go. Although the red army has achieved great victories one after another, they are still armed with the nature of bandits. Without a base, they have no capital to dominate the world.

Therefore, Zhu Qian did not intend to take Xuzhou by force. After landing, he sent several small teams to quickly go to Xuzhou City. If he could deceive the city gate into opening, that would be the best. Not only could he rest temporarily in Xuzhou, but also let people

The strength of his men quickly rose to a higher level, but Zhu Qian also knew that the south was different from the north. Although the nobles here were independent, they valued their own safety. Before the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and the situation was over, they were

He would not surrender easily, and he never thought of knocking down Xuzhou City.

No matter how fierce the war in the north was, the city of Xuzhou was not affected at all and was still as prosperous as before. Even because of the perennial natural disasters and wars, northerners continued to have trouble escaping. The increase in refugees also brought more people to the textile workshops.

Many workers.

Although it was raining continuously, the city was still full of shouts and cries, which could not be heard without stopping. A war horse came running quickly, and the streets immediately jumped. Many people saw the flag behind the knight on the horse, which meant eight hundred

Riga's urgent letter, I dare not have the slightest complaint.

Seeing the children playing on the street about to be crushed by the galloping horses, no one dared to risk their lives to come forward to rescue them. Many people closed their eyes unbearably, and many people screamed in shock.

I saw a white shadow flash past, picking up the child like a ghost. The horse's eyes were already red from running, and it was about to hit him. The man kicked the horse's calf with a loud bang.

The powerful impact caused both the man and the horse to flip over and fall to the ground.

The knight spat, which was full of blood. He stood up and waved the whip in his hand, and struck at the young man.

This young man was dressed in white. His appearance was noble, he was suave, and he had a sense of chivalry in his every move. He was a truly handsome young man. When the whip was drawn, he was seen moving sideways strangely while holding the child he had just rescued.

The whip missed his body by just a hair.

He raised his head slightly and said softly: "If you have an urgent letter from the court, I advise you to send it to the place where it should be sent as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late, but you cannot afford the serious crime of confiscating your home and exterminating your family.

"

When the messenger saw that this young man looked confident and confident, and there was an aura of nobility all over his body, plus he was wearing a straight jacket that only scholars wear, and the smooth silk material was transparent everywhere.

With extraordinary looks, he is probably another dandy!

The hero didn't want to suffer the immediate disadvantage. He checked the war horse and found that one leg was already lame. At this time, it was not far from where he wanted to go. He pulled a donkey from the side and rode away. He turned around and glared at the man.

He glanced at you and said in a cold voice: "Boy, I remember you, and I will get you back this time."

Soon afterwards, a storm suddenly arose in the city of Xuzhou. The red-coated troops who were making a big fuss in the north had already moved south and landed on the canal. The army was marching towards Xuzhou City. At this time, urgent messengers were sent out from all directions, heading to Fengyang and Nanjing respectively.

The arrival of the red-coated army was like drops of water dropped into boiling oil, causing the pot to explode.

The city of Xuzhou was in a state of panic, but I only worried for a while. Soon the chaos was suppressed by the people in the yamen. The power of the scholar-bureaucrats here was infinitely greater than that in the north. Not to mention commanding and envoys.

, even the magistrate of the state had to bow his head and call him sir when he met a member of the country.

Zhu Qian originally planned to save the child who was about to die under the horse's hooves, but someone beat him to it. He was not upset at all, but felt strangely happy. At this time, when he saw the crowd dispersed, he took Wang Chengen to invite him and said, "What's this for?"

Young Master, I was very happy when I saw you act righteously just now. It will be noon soon. How about going to the restaurant in front for a glass of wine."

Listening to Zhu Qian's strong northern Mandarin, the young man in white raised his head and looked at Zhu Qian in surprise, shook his head and said: "You will not be rewarded for your merits. I have never met the young master, so I think it's better to be exempted! I still have some things to do."

, let’s just say goodbye.”

After saying that, he put down the child without looking back and waved his sleeves, as if to brush off the dirt on his sleeves, showing pride and arrogance.

Zhu Gan looked at the back of the man in white and couldn't help but sneered. Who did this guy think he was? He thought he was noble and noble, and looked like he thought he was a worldly man. But in fact, he was a man with nostrils pointing to the sky and eyes above his head. He didn't know who he was.

How ugly it is under the nostrils.

"I want to be like Tao Yuanming, but with your temper, you can make people disgusted and disgusting, and you can't make people feel the least bit interested. If I really want to have a drink with someone like you, I will probably vomit." Zhu Gan thought very much.

He wanted to turn around and walk to the other side, but that was the road out of the city, and he hadn't walked enough yet! He immediately headed in the direction of the man in white.

Wang Chengen watched Zhu Qianfa complaining from the side. At this time, he really looked like a child. He was no longer like the emperor who was in charge of the world and killed decisively. He was even less like the leader of the Red Army, a sharp blade that went forward bravely. But he looked like this

Although he looks very much like a mortal, Wang Chengen feels more real.

He asked softly: "Master, would you like me to teach him a lesson?"

Zhu Gan waved his hand and shook his head and said: "No, it's boring, let's go! Take a good walk around Xuzhou City, I have to have a lot of fun these days!"

Gao Qiang, who was beside him, chased after him with a smile, holding a very beautiful brocade box in his hand, looking like he had gotten a big deal.

Zhu Gan asked curiously: "What is this and where does it come from."

Gao Qiang smiled like a flower, opened the brocade box, and a cold air rushed out. The cold blade made countless tiny goosebumps appear all over the body, making people shiver involuntarily. Almost at the first sight,

I was deeply fascinated by this simple and sharp dagger.

Zhu Qian changed his personal weapons many times. For these weapons made of steel in ancient times, he always felt that something was missing, sharp or tough, but this dagger looked ordinary, pitch black, except for the sharp edge.

It's nothing special anymore.

But it was just such a glance that made him fascinated, but it was the soul in this dagger. He could feel that this must be a sharp blade that had harvested countless lives, and it resonated with the soul of his previous life, but he

I'm embarrassed to ask for it.

Wang Chengen took one look at it, and his expression suddenly changed. He quickly closed the lid of the box and whispered: "Put this dagger away quickly, don't expose it, it will easily cause trouble! This is a valuable treasure, where did you get it from?

"

Seeing everyone's shocked look, Gao Qiang was even more delighted and said: "When I first entered the city, I heard someone said that there was an old blacksmith who was very good at making iron. I went to see the excitement. I didn't expect that this blacksmith was really good.

With some skills, I asked him if he could make the things the Lord mentioned. He was very experienced and knew immediately what the problem was. The current temperature of the fire cannot reach such a high temperature, and the steel produced cannot reach such a high temperature.

That requirement can only be polished slowly in a small workshop."

Zhu Qian also fantasized about equipping his red army with modern weapons and then sweeping across the world and doing whatever he wanted. However, after recognizing the reality, he clearly knew that this could only be a fantasy. As for going back to become emperor and then overthrow the country.

power, that's even more nonsense. Not to mention whether the scholar-bureaucrats would agree to any action that would harm their interests, they would swarm to stop it, let alone an emperor who dared to neglect civil affairs and engage in such strange and clever tricks.

The censor who is waiting for the opportunity to be famous will definitely be like flies that smell rotten eggs and swarm to make themselves stink. Emperor Xizong, the carpenter, and Zhu Shou, the general emperor Wuzong, are all role models.

As for getting some more practical grenades, Zhu Qian had also thought about it, but reality is reality after all. Qi Jiajun has already equipped a large number of these things and used them to kill enemies. The effect is amazingly good. It is called Porcelain Tribulus.
