In Anqing, which is located in the Yangtze River Basin, snowflakes are falling in February. In Qianshan Tianning Village, the cold wind blows the various flags on the side of the field and makes a sound. There are more than ten people on the stage, and Pang Yu stands in the middle, closer to the field.
Thousands of soldiers stood at attention. Due to the small terrain of Tianning Village,
, the people around Qianshan County came here to take refuge. The soldiers and civilians were not far apart, and there were many people watching outside. Shocked by the murderous atmosphere, no one made a sound.
"In the sixth round of the major test, the grade was lower than average. The chief executive, Yang San, was fined for two months and was demoted to acting chief executive and still took charge of the matter. In the sixth round, the third flag team was graded as low in the exam, and the chief general, Jiang Wei, was beaten twice.
10." The two policemen tied the flag general to the general's platform, pressed him to the ground and immediately executed him. The sound of claps came one after another, mixed with the flag general's low screams. When the twenty sticks were finished, the flag general struggled on the ground for a few seconds.
I couldn't get up several times and made a few noises
Wailing. Yang Xueshi's voice echoed in the battle field, "The rogues are on the verge of attack, but you can't stop practicing. It's your duty to practice your skills well, and it's also the basis for protecting your life when you go into battle. Soldiers must not relax even a little bit, and don't practice their skills well."
, what are you using to kill the rogues? This time, Pang Pangren came to the big test in person. The rating of the third flag in the sixth game was inferior. The garrison camp has never been inferior. It is a disgrace to you in the sixth game! I am not afraid to tell you, come to Qianshan
Previously, when Pang Pang went to Wangjiang to take a test in the Land Warfare Department, the worst among all the flag teams in the department were the middle and upper class! Look at your third flag team, a flag commander who wants to lead troops to kill people, can only do this with a score of twenty
Look, how can a person like you have the courage? If you don’t have the courage to kill anyone? It means that the general is incompetent, and the garrison only needs to be capable.
Han, if you can't do it, get out..." There was silence on the battlefield. Although the soldiers stood up straight as required, the atmosphere was quite decadent. The second division was led by Wang Zenglu. From the time of the strong squad, the training has always been better than that of other divisions.
The two bosses are good friends, and it is rare for them to be scolded by their bosses like this. Yang Xueshi
It was the sixth round of scolding. He didn't scold the second division directly, which saved some face for Wang Zenglu. However, Wang Zenglu was still as black as the bottom of a pot. Naturally, the officers below knew that there would be no good things to eat in the future. Wu Dacai was at this moment.
Standing in front of the general stage, he glanced at the frustrated General Manager of the sixth round next to him. He felt quite proud. In this big test, he got an average or above in the fourth round, but his first flag team got an upper.
Wait, I just got it
Received the praise from the military department.
It is very difficult to obtain a superior grade. There must be almost no mistakes in all assessment items. The other unit in the battalion that is superior is the Infantry Combat Ranger Flag Team of the First Division, which is the elite of Yao Dongshan.
With this good result of the first flag, the gap with the other three games in the rankings has widened, and it has also saved Wang Zenglu some face. At least in the upper-level rating, he is tied with his old rival Yao Dongshan.
The training in the fourth game itself was considered harsh in the entire company, but the difference was not too big. Generally speaking, there were more recruits after the expansion. Wu Tac-choi was originally unable to reach the top level, so he thought of a small way to
Most of the outstanding soldiers were assigned
He had won the first flag and now seemed to be the face of the second division. Of course, he was more valued by Wang Zenglu. At this time, the people standing on the stage were all Shangguan of the garrison. They were not much better than Wu Dacai two years ago. As far as he knew
Yes, Yang Xueshi was just a husband, and Jiang Guoyong was a calligrapher, but now he can stand on the stage and lecture thousands of people. Wu Dacai feels that
I can do it myself. I imagined it in my mind, as if I was standing on the stage, looking at the dark crowd below. Yang Xueshi scolded fiercely, but Wu Dacai didn't feel discouraged. The last time he contradicted the clerk in person, Wang Zenglu
After bringing the second division back to Tianning Village, the atmosphere in the division was subtle in the next few days, and no one was optimistic about his future. However, soon after, the clerk was dismissed from his post and expelled from the garrison. Wu Dacai knew that he was on the right path.
. Now people in the second division, no matter what their official positions are, are more polite to Wu Tac Choi than they are to other presidents, with a hint of fear and a little alienation. Wu Tac Choi
I really enjoy this feeling. Wang Zenglu's respect is nothing. One of his objections can get the clerk to be dismissed. Wu Dacai knows where his colleagues' fear comes from. This time Panda came to Tianning Village and did not meet him alone.
Ng Tak-choi, making Ng Tak-choi a little scared
, I don’t know if Da Pangren knew that he had done it by refuting the clerk’s feat at that time.
He slightly raised his head and glanced at the center of the general platform. The giant man became more and more calm, but some worry could be seen in his eyebrows. At this time, Yang Xueshi finished speaking, and then Jiang Guoyong came out. He first commended the brave men who fought in the defense of Kongcheng Town.
The second division was also mobilized to participate. Seven people were commended, mainly from the fifth division. They took the initiative to cross the river.
For the attack, seven people received merit points and rewards ranging from twenty taels to twelve taels. After reading the commendation, Yang Xueshi scanned the audience for a moment, and then said loudly, "Notify the town and defense team to enforce military law. This time, Tongcheng Kongcheng Town Defense Battle,
A small team under the Second Flag Team under the Second Bureau of the First Division was a guerrilla on the night of January 27. It was ordered to patrol the upper reaches of the left wing. When it encountered rogue horse soldiers, the whole team fled without engaging in battle. Captain Liu Shiguo fled back to the camp.
, the report was falsely reported as being separated at night, and the team leader and soldiers under him colluded with each other to confess. After verification by the town magistrate, all eleven people below the captain of the team were released.
He was executed by the Military Law Department and received no pension. He is now summoned to the whole battalion to be shown to the public."
More than a dozen Zhenfu soldiers walked to the side of the general platform, lifted eleven heads high, and hung them on wooden poles. All of their heads were disheveled and looked ferocious. The people watching outside were in an uproar.
Even though Ng Tak Choi had experienced several bloody battles, he was a little frightened when he suddenly saw the head. He knew the captain. Last time they fought in the arena, this man even beat Ng Tak Choi several times. Now his head is hung on a high pole.
Above. Everyone's breathing is a little heavy. The military discipline of the garrison camp is mostly inherited from Qi Jiguang, especially the punishments for combat are very harsh. Many deserters were killed in the battle of Beixiaguan, and a few were killed after the battle of Puzikou.
Those who hide money secretly, but this year
Before the battle, everyone seemed to have forgotten a little. This was the first time that he had killed the whole team for escaping from the battle. Wu Tachai did not want to look at those heads for a long time, so he lowered his gaze. This time, the heads were passed to the whole battalion, the first division.
It's a big shame. It seems that Yao Dongshan and Wang Zenglu, two veterans of the army, have been unhappy recently. I wonder if it's because of their deployment.
The place was too close to Tongcheng. Just when he was about to think about it in his mind, Jiang Guoyong had finished his speech. Pang Yu and his party came down from the stage and walked along the queue to the temporary official hall in the west. Pang Pang passed by in front, and Wu Dacai
He tried his best to push his chest higher, but Da Daman didn't do this.
While watching, he didn't stop to talk.
When he felt quite disappointed, the passing team suddenly stopped, and then the huge man came back and walked straight towards Wu Tac Choi. Wu Tac Choi quickly stood up at attention and raised his head a little higher.
Pang Yu stopped in front of him and said gently, "Mr. Wu Bai, I heard that there is a higher-level flag team in your team, and even the archers have reached the upper level. What's the secret?"
Sir, I don’t have any secrets. I just remember what the great man said. Skills are soaked in sweat. Obtaining skills is to protect your own life. Every day, you must strictly follow the instructions given by General Manager Wang and urge you to practice. When others are free,
The subordinates are practicing more, this
It was a fluke to get the first grade."
"It is right to remember this sentence. In this troubled world, whether you are a general or a soldier, saving your life is your duty, and killing the enemy is your duty. It all depends on the skills you have trained." Wu Dacai maintained the standard.
He had a military posture, but his voice was a little trembling, but he still had the courage to continue, "Military regulations say that this army is responsible for food, clothing, and monthly salary for the whole family, and there are people who will teach you how to save your life.
As for the ability to kill the enemy, soldiers and generals don’t have to worry about anything. They just practice their skills well and save their lives and get paid. It’s still their own if they have the ability. This is a huge advantage. If you still want to be comfortable, you won’t be able to practice it.
If you have good skills and go into battle, it will be fine if someone takes your life. What's more,
That person who had no skills and no courage, wanted to save his life and ran away, but in the end he had his head chopped off, and he had no money for pension. The whole family was left homeless, and in the end he harmed himself." Pang Yu nodded affirmatively and turned around.
He said to Wang Zenglu and Jiang Guoyong, "This is a principle preached repeatedly in military regulations. All soldiers have memorized it, but there are still some people who don't understand. Otherwise, the entire team of the First Division would not have been killed. I thought that by using
this
The first public announcement of the war and the strengthening of military discipline throughout the battalion must be achieved until General Wu has such an experience."
He did not praise Ng Tak Choi alone. After speaking briefly, he walked to the temporary official hall. When he arrived at the door, he saw Jiang Fan waiting.
When Pang Yu saw Jiang Fan rushing back to Anqing in person, he knew that something must be going on in Nanjing. He dismissed the generals who were following him, leaving only Guo Fengyou and other close guards. He led Jiang Fan into the simple official hall and stopped at the wooden fence in the southeast corner.
.
Jiang Fan had no extra etiquette and reported in a low voice, "Sir, the situation in Nanjing is not good. Ruan Dacheng has not yet opened up the joints of the defense in his new term. Shaojian Zhou has already sent someone to take action." Pang Yu had received the news before and heard the news.
The face here was solemn. The business in Nanjing was like fat, attracting all kinds of forces, making him feel overwhelmed. His original intention was that Fushe was likely to collapse, so he should defect to Donglin in order to successfully succeed in the society.
Jiangnan was developing a bank, but by all calculations, it could not be taken into account that Qian Qianyihui, who had been retired to the forest for seven years, had an incident, and Zhang Yixian had died within a month. For him, Nanjing was now completely out of control.
state.
"What are they going to do? Are they still going to seize Baishun Hall?" "Li Ping'er heard their discussion. This time they not only want to seize Baishun Hall, but also Yinzhuang." Although the situation was critical, Jiang Fan's voice was calm.
"They found two censors of the Zhejiang Party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached the master for colluding with Fushe Zhang Pu, and published the Jiangnan Times
Controlling public opinion, relying on Donglin Qian Qianyi, remotely controlling Zhang Guowei's power in the south of the Yangtze River, and fabricating achievements to make special promotions, all of this is for you, sir."
Pang Yu sneered, "I thought he wanted to impeach me for opening gambling shops and money shops to prey on the people of Jiangnan."
"Shaojian Zhou wants to take away the gambling establishment and the money bank privately. He will not put these two things on the official list, so he will not mention a word about them." Pang Yu narrowed his eyes. Shaojian Zhou made a vicious move and wanted to take away himself.
Being tightly tied to the Qian Qianyi case, and also involving Zhang Pu and Zhang Guowei, was the core of the bloody struggle in the court. It involved both clique formation and civil and military collusion, both of which the emperor hated most.
For this reason, they did not hesitate to throw dirty water on Qian Qianyi and Zhang Guowei. Only these eunuchs were not afraid of offending Shilin and dared to do anything for profit. "It seems that not only do they want the gambling stalls, but they also want the officer's head, but they
Taking advantage of the situation, Wen Tiren plays Qian Qianyi, and they get rich. You can find out whether the emperor and Wen Shoufu are going to deal with Fushe or Donglin, and whether Qian Qianyi still has money.
"Help, is there any concrete news?" "Recently, both Fushe and Donglin in Nanjing have been uneasy. There are all kinds of news, but my subordinates can't verify it. There are also many fabricated news about various brokers in Nanjing. Even after spending a lot of money,
The money may not be true information, so the villain dare not report back to the adults." Jiang Fan hesitated and said, "But my subordinates have a quarrel. Zhou Shaojian is from the Chief of Ceremony of the Capital, and the information is a hundred times better than the broker. At this time, he
If you dare to do this and directly attack Qian Qianyi and Zhang Duye, I am afraid that you have got the exact information.
It can be inferred that something bad happened to Mr. Yushan." Pang Yu nodded, "Our business must be done in Jiangnan, and we must deal with Fushe and Donglin. If it is not because of Mr. Qian this time, it will be because of him next time.
Who else will have a conflict with Zhou Shaojian sooner or later? What do you think, Jiang Fan, this time?
Deal with them." "Now that Young Supervisor Zhou is thinking about it, we can't guard against thieves all day long, so we might as well get rid of them once and for all." Jiang Fan hesitated again, "The trouble is not with Young Supervisor Zhou, but because he is from the Bureau of Ceremonies. It's easy to kill him, but I'm afraid.
Therefore, if you offend the Supervisor of Ceremonies, then there will be no
There's no way out. And I'm afraid the censor's bullets have already gone up." "It doesn't mean that something will happen if you are impeached. Wen Tiren has been impeached so many times, and Zhang Junmen has been impeached so many times." Pang Yu rubbed his forehead.
, the content of the current impeachment by Shaojian Zhou and his gang is obviously very deliberate. They used Qian Qianyi's congratulatory message to make a big fuss, and took advantage of Wen Tiren's attempt to deal with Qian Qianyi, and implicated Zhang Guowei in it, making it difficult for Zhang Guowei to excuse Pang Yu.
At present, he has not thought of any way to deal with it, because his biggest weakness is that he is in the middle of the court.
Without any strong backer, he went to the capital officials from Tongcheng to discuss the matter at this time, but they did not dare to participate, so he could only rely on Zhang Guowei, who had the closest relationship. "This matter involves Zhang Junmen. This time we and Zhang Guowei
The military gate is on the same boat. As long as Zhang Junmen is fine, we will be fine." Pang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Although the situation is serious, it is not completely ruined. We still ignored the intelligence too much. Wait until this time
The rogue bandits have retreated, and I want to build another battalion. Please take charge of this matter."
Jiang Fan responded in a low voice and asked, "Now should we wait and see the situation, or how should we act?"
"Zhang Junmen is about to arrive in Anqing. I will inquire about the situation before making a decision. You will wait in Fucheng for a few days and then go home and have a look." Pang Yu softened his expression and said, "You have been working hard in Nanjing for a long time. This time
It’s just a good time to spend some time with my parents, wife and children.”
"I would like to thank you for your concern."
Pang Yu nodded, and after Jiang Fan left, he slowly walked back. The temporary hall was actually a former monk's residence in Tianning Temple. It had partially collapsed. After it was determined that the defense should be built here, in August, another
It was repaired. There were guards in front of the back door. When they saw Pang Yu, they all saluted. Pang Yu had something in mind. He simply returned the greeting and walked in. There were five brick houses inside. Pang Yu walked directly into a brick house on the right and met him.
Different from the other rooms, there are three soldiers in front of this door.
guard.
The furnishings inside were simple, and a figure was sitting on the edge of the bed. He raised his head when he heard footsteps, and when he saw it was Pang Yu, he quickly stood up.
"Master Zhu, there's no need to be polite. Let's sit down and talk." Pang Yu waved to him, then stretched out his hand to pull out a bamboo chair, sat on it and felt the coldness.
The person inside was the Prime Minister of the Zhu family of Qianshan County. His face was gloomy. After hearing this, he sat down dejectedly and did not take the initiative to speak. Pang Yu coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhu's matter has been reported to the emperor. It should have been divided."
The patrol road came to investigate. However, at this time, the army was in chaos, and it was inconvenient to travel on the separate patrol roads. Shi Daotai was stationed in Tongcheng, and Mr. Zhang came to investigate, so he came to Qianshan this time.
, in addition to cleaning up the army, I have to do this errand as a last resort, how offending it is."
The Prime Minister of the Zhu family sighed, but remained silent. Pang Yu stretched out his hand and took out a document. He read it and said, "I want to confirm the details with you first. Master Zhu was captured by the bandits in the county town late at night."
He was captured and taken to Wujiayan. After being imprisoned for three days, Mr. Zhu took advantage of the thieves' unpreparedness and bound the official seal.
He used the sheets as a rope to hang down the three-story wooden building and fled back to Qianshan at night." (Note: Zhu Jiaxian's experience is historical fact. He claimed to have escaped after being captured. There were no witnesses. Zhang Guowei reported it to the capital, but Chongzhen did not believe it.
.)
Zhu Jiaxian raised his eyes and looked at Pang Yu, his lips trembled and said, "Does General Pang not believe it at all?"
Pang Yu looked at the report and said, "Why did Mr. Zhu say this? I have no grievances with you, so of course I would rather believe it to be true." "I don't mean this, but the matter is originally bizarre, and people who tell me don't believe it.
This is normal, but it is a great shame and humiliation for this official. As soon as the lower official escaped, he immediately reported the details to the government office, but instead of being relieved, Mr. Pi, Shi Daotai sent people to interrogate him repeatedly. The same is true for Zhang Junmen this time.
, From this we can see that the emperor will not believe it in the end." Zhu Jiaxian's eyes turned red, "Since I took office, I have not slacked off for a day, just to protect the land and the people. This time I almost lost my life, but I was lucky enough to escape.
To prove your innocence,
If I had known this, it would have been cheaper to fall to death on Wujiayan."
Pang Yu rubbed the corners of her eyes and whispered, "Master Zhu's hard work, I have heard Mr. Wang mention it many times. But the higher you go, no one knows you, sir. They only read the words in the application form.
He doesn't care about friendship." "Zhu, who is about to die, is not afraid to tell the general directly. If Shi Daotai didn't transfer Wang's headquarters to Tongcheng, how could the thieves break into the county? Tongcheng is a feudal territory.
, my Qianshan is not a borderland." Zhu Jiaxian stood up excitedly and said, "Zhu said directly that Qianshan has no walls, the people who can walk are all in Tianning Village, and there is no money, food and children in the city, but Prefect Pi is not
I want to stay behind in the county seat. I just say that it is my duty to defend the land and leave me alone to guard the dangerous place. The general knows that I have twenty-one slaves.
, I completely escaped by night, leaving only the gatekeepers from my hometown, and we were the only ones guarding such a large city. As soon as the king left the general army, dozens of bandits came, and I was captured alive by a county magistrate..."
The Zhu family burst into tears and couldn't speak for a while. Pang Yu didn't force him. He just felt that the Zhu family's situation was even more difficult than his own, but the Zhu family was obviously much more unjust. Tianning Village is not in a mountainous area, but in Qianshan County.
There is a slope opposite, very close to it. Because it is difficult to build a city on the sandy soil of Qianshan, Shi Kefa agreed to build a fortress here. After the frequent rogue activities, the remaining people in the county basically
Entering Tianning Village. I don’t know what Pi Yingju was thinking. He insisted that Zhu Jiaxian stay in the county and was not allowed to move to Tianning Village. When Wang Zenglu’s second division was stationed in Tianning Village, they also patrolled and controlled the outside.
, he would take the initiative to attack the bandits when he found them, so nothing happened to Zhu Jiaxian until Fatty Zhang attacked Kongcheng Town, and Shi Kefa once again transferred the second division to Tongcheng. Pang Yude
After receiving the exact information, he led the main force of the garrison battalion to Tongcheng to prepare for a major battle. Only one bureau and one flag team were left in Qianshan, which was only enough to guard Tianning Village and could not control the surrounding areas. The rogue bandits in the northern mountainous area took the opportunity to attack.
In the end, Pang Yu failed to fight a battle, but Zhu Jiaxiang, who stayed in the county, was captured by a small group of bandits and escaped back three days later. These three days became an indescribable experience. Under the current situation,
It is very likely that he will be found guilty of betraying himself and surrendering to the enemy, and then come back.
If he responds internally, his fate will be very miserable. Zhu Jiaxian suddenly knelt down and said, "I trust General Pang, but there is no one to prove it. I only hope that the general will defeat those thieves and catch a few of the thieves who were guarding me that day.
How can I still be innocent? There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses along the river. I can only believe
The general can defeat those giant thieves." Pang Yu looked at Zhu Jiaxian with his eyes. He knew what Zhu Jiaxian meant. Although he still didn't know whether Zhu Jiaxian was telling the truth, there was indeed only one way for Zhu Jiaxian to get rid of suspicion. Although
There are many people in Anqing, but the most convincing one
It was still Pang Yu, and he had the closest relationship with Zhang Guowei. It didn't matter whether the captured thief was indeed the guard on that day, what mattered was the words written on the application form.
"Thank you Mr. Zhu for your kind words, but there are thousands of thieves. I will do my best, but I dare not say that I can catch those few guard thieves by chance." Mr. Zhu knelt on the ground, and a string of snot fell from his nose.
Dangling under his nose, he sobbed and said, "I have no way out. I can only hope that the general can catch the witnesses. They are undoubtedly the reborn parents of the official. If the official can stay as the Qianshan Zhizhi
County, go through fire and water to repay."
Pang Yu pondered and said, "As long as we defeat these giant thieves, we may be able to catch them. A great victory..."
"General, I must still be innocent. I am wronged. It is not what they think." "I actually don't care where Mr. Zhu has been in the past three days. There is no need for you to go through fire and water. Cooperation in the future will be mutually beneficial."
Yes." Pang Yu slowly stood up and walked to the door, then stopped and looked back at the Zhu family and said, "Master Zhu, who in this world has a way out."
