Chapter 410 Please Admiral Zhang Save Me!

On May 13th, [-]th year of Chongzhen, Ming Dynasty, late at night, in the central hall of the Yongning Garrison Office on Xuanzhen East Road.

Zhang Cheng and Tong Shouxin had a very happy chat. Zhang Cheng also kept silent about his wife's brother-in-law and Jin Xiaoguo, but only talked with Tong Shouxin about recruiting brave camps and military tactics. He even encouraged Tong Shouxin to choose an opportunity Going out to battle, you can only be promoted if you make military exploits.

Tong Shouxin was also happy in his heart. Zhang Cheng's words made his heart agitated. He even meditated in his heart on how he was promoted all the way to the general, and his face was full of smiles.

Suddenly, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and Tong Shouxin felt dissatisfied. He frowned and looked out of the hall, only to see the door of the hall was pushed open suddenly, and a soldier broke in in a panic, kneeling down and reporting: " Report to the garrison that something is wrong, a large group of flames ignited in the deputy commander's office."

"Dangdang!"

The teacup in Tong Shouxin's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He opened his mouth wide and asked tremblingly, "You...you...say it again...where...where are you going...the water is gone... "

"Report to the garrison, there is water in the deputy commander's office, and the flames are soaring!"

"what……"

Tong Shouxin stood up abruptly, and was about to walk away when he suddenly remembered that Zhang Cheng was still sitting beside him, so he sat back on the chair and tilted his head to look at Zhang Cheng.

But seeing Zhang Cheng calm and relaxed, holding the teacup steadily in his hand, sipping the tea gently, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

At this moment, there was a vague roar coming from the distance outside, like the explosion of firecrackers, or the explosion of artillery battles, Tong Shouxin couldn't sit still anymore, he suddenly got up and was about to rush out.

At this time, another soldier staggered in and almost bumped into Tong Shouxin who was about to leave the hall. Before he had time to kneel down, he shouted: "Master... my lord... Dong... the Dongshan thief... ...into...into the city..."

Tong Shouxin grabbed the soldier's clothes, pulled him closer and asked sharply, "What? Say it again!"

"East... Dongshan's sky... Tianbawang... broke the city... Ximen... Ximen was captured by thieves... the deputy...deputy commander's mansion...was... attacked..."

Tong Shouxin threw him away, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up. Hurry up, gather your troops, and follow me to kill the thief!"

At this time, a general came running quickly outside the door, he stopped the door and said: "My lord, don't go out lightly, the night is dark and the wind is high, I don't know the details of the thief, so kill it easily, I am afraid that the thief will trick me, my lord!"

Tong Shouxin was stunned at the door of the hall. Only then did he remember that Zhang Cheng was still in the hall, and he couldn't help turning around to look at Zhang Cheng. His eyes were full of doubts, but he saw Zhang Cheng drinking tea by himself. Everything seemed indifferent.

After being stunned for a while, he said to the general manager: "Quick detective, how many people from the Dongshan bandits have entered the city, and what is the situation in the city? Immediately gather the troops in the garrison department to prepare for any eventuality."

"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." The chief executive answered the order loudly, turned around and went to arrange everything.

Tong Shouxin also walked slowly back to the tea table, sat on the chair, fixed his eyes on Zhang Cheng, pressed his hand on the saber at his waist, and asked in a low voice: "Admiral Zhang, Dongshan bandits attacked Yongning at night, deputy The commander's office seems to be under siege, and now the garrison office is full of gunfire, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Zhang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, with a calm and calm attitude, he said calmly: "This is the military affairs of the East Road, this general should not intervene, Tong Shoubei has the responsibility of defending the city and suppressing thieves, why bother to ask this general!"

Tong Shouxin tightly held the handle of the saber at his waist, and continued to ask in a deep voice, "Admiral Zhang, do you have anything to do with the Dongshan bandits in this city?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Cheng laughed, looked at Tong Shouxin with a mocking expression, and asked sharply: "How? Tong Shoubei still wants to kill Zhang Mouge on the spot!"

He stood up abruptly, and then asked with a shout: "You are a military general of the Ming Dynasty, you don't want to wipe out the thieves and stabilize the country, but you act as a minion for the tiger, and cut the sword in your hand at your colleagues in the army, what is your intention?

Today, thieves are raging in Huguang, thieves have come back from Shangzhou, and the East Road is watching you, but you don't want to serve the country, can you punish your heart?
Now, Dongshan thieves have entered the city and caused disaster. You don't want to protect the city and protect the people, but here you are questioning this general. Could it be that you want to kill this general who is Dongshan's thief here?

Would you like to be buried with Deputy Marshal Zhang of your family? "

Zhang Cheng asked questions one after another, Tong Shouxin had already stood up, but fell down on the chair again, sweating profusely, and the hand on the handle of the waist knife was shaking uncontrollably.

"Pfft!"

Tong Shouxin suddenly fell to his knees, bowed his head and shouted: "Tong Shouxin knows his mistake, please Admiral Zhang save me!"

Zhang Cheng paced up and down the hall unhurriedly, and after a while, he stood still in front of Tong Shouxin, and comforted him softly: "I think you are a rare and fierce general. Huai Zhongjun has the heart of serving the country, and I really can't bear to see you humiliated and humiliated, and will definitely protect you with all my strength."

After he finished speaking, he leaned over to help Tong Shouxin up, and comforted him again: "Get up, you are a fierce general, don't kneel indiscriminately, you will ruin your reputation for nothing."

Tong Shouxin struggled to take a step back, knelt down and kowtowed again, and said, "Tong Shouxin is willing to hold the reins for Admiral Zhang, ride on the saddle, and die for the admiral. I also ask Admiral Zhang to guide me in today's maze!"

Zhang Cheng looked at Tong Shouxin's words, which were also quite sincere. He knew that the fire was almost ready, and Tong Shouxin had already turned the corner in his heart, so he said slowly:

"The city is not well guarded, and it is wrong to miss the deputy commander. However, the thieves are rampant, and the deputy commander is not strict, and he indulges his relatives to persecute the soldiers and civilians, which is even more wrong. His death is really his own fault. I will do it myself." If you try to get rid of it, it will protect you from any worries."

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and they stopped at the hall door, and said loudly: "Master Guard, the Dongshan thief has retreated."

Tong Shouxin hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Come in and answer."

When the general entered the hall, he asked anxiously: "Do you know how many people the thieves have entered the city, what is the situation in the residence of Deputy Commander Zhang, and are there any casualties in Ximen?"

"Reporting to the garrison, Dongshan bandits entered the city with hundreds of people. After they broke through the office of the deputy commander in chief, they set fire to the office. The body of the deputy commander has not been found."

He said he was a little hesitant here, and then reported: "My subordinates saw that the far west of the city was also blazing into the sky. According to the direction, it seems that Zhangjiazhuang, which is several miles away, has lost water. It's just that the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the thieves are lurking nearby. Go out of town and investigate."

"Zhangjiazhuang?"

Tong Shouxin looked puzzled, and he murmured, "Isn't it the Zhuangzi where Deputy Shuai Zhang's uncle Zeng Jinlai is?"

The general replied: "It's that Zhuangzi, the fire is quite big, and the uncle of Deputy Commander Zhang is probably inevitable..."
