On the streets of Zhangbei, the people destined to lead the two eras finally met.
With a distance of less than two feet, in the crowd, an old man and a young man were looking at each other. However, Sun Chengzong was more likely to look at Tie Mo.
Although his appearance is unattractive, he is tall and tall, exuding an iron-blooded temperament that only a soldier can possess. His eyes are strong and sharp, and he must be a man of great courage. Perhaps it would be good to have a student like this.
Tie Mo strode towards Sun Chengzong, and when he was still two steps away, he suddenly stopped, lifted up the hem of his robe, knelt heavily on the ground, and then kowtowed in a big salute.
"Teacher, please accept your respects from the students!"
Phew! Tie Mo's actions and words caused a burst of exclamations. Who is Sun Chengzong? He is the emperor's master, the leading celebrity in the Ming Dynasty. General Tie is the student of Governor Sun? Isn't that right?
Doesn't it mean that General Tie and His Majesty are from the same sect?
Not to mention the onlookers exclaiming and sighing, even the well-informed Sun Chengzong was a little overwhelmed by Tie Mo's actions. Although he intends to accept you as a student, according to the rules, there must be a apprenticeship ceremony first. This boy is good
, came up to play this game, and solidified this relationship first. Now Sun Chengzong only had a wry smile in his heart, this guy is very thick-skinned.
"Get up, why don't you take me back home quickly? Do you want me to accompany you to expose yourself to the scorching sun?"
Sun Chengzong's words were tantamount to recognizing Tie Mo as a student in disguise. Now Tie Mo was overjoyed. He held Sun Chengzong's arm in a familiar manner and roared forward.
"Why don't you get out of the way quickly, let the teacher have a good rest, and tell the eldest lady to prepare a banquet! Today, the general is happy. Today, all shops in Zhang Beicheng will have a 30% discount, and the other 30% discount will be made up by the garrison office!"
As soon as these words came out, a loud roar erupted in the street, and everyone quickly dispersed, rushing to go to major stores to spend money. Such an activity that benefits the people, if you don't hurry up and buy, it will be gone by the time you get there.
Tie Mo was very happy, but he didn't know that as soon as he turned around, Chang Minyue's crystal clear face was covered with a layer of gloom. Okay, Tie Mo just talked and squandered tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's really inappropriate.
I don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
Fortunately, most of the shops in the city are owned by Shanxi merchant groups, so the 30% discount can be waived, and you can pay a lot less.
It's just that Chang Minyue really couldn't bear General Tie's prodigal behavior and had to find a way to stop it.
.......
In the Moon Palace, Hailanzhu, Aqige, and Chang Minyue came forward one by one to greet them and acknowledge their family members.
At the banquet, what surprised Sun Chengzong was that he actually saw two old acquaintances, one was Zhao Jinrong and the other was Sun Yuanhua. Sun Chengzong was not surprised about Sun Yuanhua. He had met him in the capital a few months ago.
, at that time, he intended to invite Sun Yuanhua to governor Dengzhou. However, I don’t know what happened later, and Sun Yuanhua actually said goodbye and left.
On the other hand, Zhao Jinrong and Sun Chengzong really didn't expect to see him here. When they were young, Sun Chengzong and Zhao Jinrong met several times.
When the three old people met, they naturally sighed. Fortunately, Sun Yuanhua and Zhao Jinrong were very comfortable in Zhangbei, and Sun Chengzong was also happy about it.
Sun Chengzong was a vigorous and resolute man. Since he had officially accepted Tie Mo as his student, he naturally had to give some advice. Sun Chengzong did not want to teach the Four Books and Five Classics. Tie Mo was already so old, how could he be expected to take the exam?
A title?
The only thing he could teach was marching and fighting. However, before teaching, Sun Chengzong had to first understand the situation of the soldiers and horses under Tie Mo's command.
Early the next morning, Tie Mo accompanied Sun Chengzong to inspect the major military camps in Zhangbei. After one day, Sun Chengzong had a general understanding of Zhangbei's soldiers and horses. Sun Chengzong was quite shocked by the strength Tie Mo had mastered.
The musketeers under Tie Mo's command had a great impact on Sun Chengzong. In Sun Chengzong's view, given time, once the application of muskets matures, they will definitely change the way of fighting on the battlefield.
When it was his turn to take the battle formation exam, Tie Mo sat there and talked, telling Sun Chengzong everything about leading the troops in the war. Not long after, Sun Chengzong was so angry. Sun Chengzong stood in the room with his hands behind his back.
He was pacing, his gray beard standing on end angrily.
Tie Mo just talked about the Battle of Langshan, but halfway through, Governor Sun became angry.
"Hmph, you are really good. If I had such a powerful fighting force, I would make Abadai Khan lose half his life. It would be better for you to watch Abadai Khan and his troops retreat northward smoothly!"
Tie Mo didn't realize what he had done wrong, "Teacher, didn't the students want to guard Langshan? Besides, isn't there a saying that says, don't chase poor bandits? What did the students do wrong?"
"Hey, did I ask you to chase? With the strength of your troops at that time, plus the power of the musketeers, as long as you arrange it properly, Abadai Khan will definitely suffer a big loss. It would be better for you to let the soldiers and horses guard the pass.
A waste of combat power."
"Um...because of this, students need teachers to teach them well..."
Tie Mo's expression was very embarrassing. He didn't say anything nonsense, he was telling the truth. When he had few soldiers and horses under his command, he didn't think it was a big deal. As his family business grew bigger and the scale of the battle increased, he felt more and more like he was in command.
Somewhat overwhelmed.
Seeing Tie Mo's sincere attitude, Sun Chengzong's anger became much less intense.
After listening to so much, I generally have some understanding of Tie Mo. Tie Mo was able to win so many battles, either by trickery or by rushing and fighting. Although he was charging and fighting, Tie Mo did one thing very well.
Well, that is to maximize the lethality of firearms.
How to direct and deploy various units to fight is very complicated.
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow you take me to Mosna. I will be responsible for the conquest of the Tumote tribe this time. You can watch it carefully."
"Really? That's a good feeling!"
Tie Mo was immediately happy, but he was worried that the speed of conquering Tumote was too slow. Now Sun Chengzong was going to the front to command the battle, which was a blessing.
Tie Mo is still very confident in Sun Chengzong's ability to coordinate the overall situation. Sun Chengzong has stabilized the mess in Liaodong. Isn't a Tumote Department a piece of cake? Even without Sun Chengzong, taking down the Tumote Department is just a piece of cake.
It's a matter of time. Now that Sun Chengzong has taken action, I believe there will be results soon.
...
At this time, the tent in Mosna was filled with the main generals of various ministries. Tie Mo first introduced Sun Chengzong to everyone and gave a serious lecture.
In short, anyone who disobeys Governor Sun's orders will be killed without mercy.
Sun Chengzong's prestige, coupled with Tie Mo's strict orders, even if the proud soldiers of Zhang Bei's faction were dissatisfied, they could only listen honestly.
With the arrival of Sun Chengzong, the situation in Tumochuan has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
