East Factory Governor

Chapter 602 People can change

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Qin Shuhuai was shirtless, washing in the courtyard of the Qian'an County Government.

At this time, Lai San'er, who was on duty today, came in and said to him, "Master, Zu Dashou is outside and has been waiting to see you. I have been waiting for more than an hour."

Qin Shuhuai wiped his face and said, "Let him in."

Lai San'er responded, glanced at the shirtless Qin Shuhuai, and said, "Master, let me get you an official uniform. You look impressive in official uniforms."

Qin Shuhuai glanced at Lai San'er in surprise, this kid used to dare to go to restaurants with shirtless, but now he seems to be a lot more particular now.

Speaking of which, he is no longer a boy of Jiang He Gang.He is the incense master of the Jianghe gang, and he is not a big deal, but because he is someone close to him, he is also well-known in the martial arts.In addition to martial arts, those generals in the imperial court who hold heavy soldiers are also polite to him.As for the prefectures and counties that passed by during the march, no matter how big the officials are, they will be three points lower when they see him.Now that he's mixed up, he can be regarded as a master.

Do people change their minds when they reach a certain level?If Lai San'er's thoughts are quite different from what he was at the beginning, then what is he thinking now?

Recalling Lai San'er's more and more fanatical eyes recently, and his unabashed desire to lead the gang against the imperial court on three sides, Qin Shuhuai frowned slightly.

He didn't want to think about it, instead he said to Lai San'er, "Go, just get me a gown to wear."

Lai San'er chuckled, "Okay."

Lai San'er took out a gown from the room for Qin Shuhuai to put on, and then said to a guard outside the courtyard, "Go, ask Zu Dashou to come in."

He was so airy that even Zu Dashou was called by his name directly.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Shuhuai asked casually, "Lai San'er, where is that spring flower in your village? When are you going to get married?"

Lai San'er chuckled, "It's too late for Lai San'er to follow the leader to conquer the world. How can I get married? I've asked someone to tell her to wait, and one day I will marry him in a glorious manner." .”

"Then what if she can't wait? Chunhua'er is not young, is she?"

"If you can't wait, then don't wait!" Lai San'er said lightly, "A good man is going to fight everywhere, if she can't afford to wait for this time, she is not worthy to be my Lai family's daughter-in-law!"

Qin Shuhuai took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"San'er, do you still remember the time when you quarreled with the boss in order to buy a gold silk wood jewelry box for Chunhua'er?"

Lai San'er smiled, "Remember, in the end, you paid 15 taels of silver to buy it for me. I will remember this all my life! At that time, I told myself that I must follow the leader in this life. Even if I die, I am willing!"

Qin Shuhuai was silent, not knowing what to say.

That's right, Lai San'er is no longer the same Lai San'er as before. Back then, he felt ashamed of Chun Hua'er and only dared to have a crush on her. Even the jewelry box was covered for a long time before he dared to give it away.Now, he can ask Chun Hua'er to wait for him, even if Chun Hua'er doesn't wait for him, he is not in a hurry anymore.

Opening and shutting is to fight the world with the leader of the gang, it seems that everyone in the gang is saying that.

Conquer the world...they want to conquer the world!
At this moment, Zu Dashou came in.

When Zu Dashou saw Qin Shuhuai, he immediately knelt down and said, "Grandpa Zu Dashou, pay homage to Lord Hou!"

Qin Shuhuai glanced at Zu Dashou, and saw that his eyes had bags under his eyes, dark circles were thick, and his face was haggard, so he knew that he had suffered a lot these past few days.

Zu Dashou, a "General Guan Ning" that people love and hate.

Qin Shuhuai didn't make Zu Dashou wake up, but he still asked in a relatively calm tone, "General Zu, how did Santunying fall?"

"Back to Lord Hou, after Zuizhi took over the Santun camp, according to the plan agreed with Governor Yuan, more than 26 officers and soldiers were stationed in the city, led by Zuizhi himself. Twenty thousand troops were stationed on Jingzhong Mountain, a few miles south of the city. More than [-] officers and soldiers were led by Ma Shilong, and the two sides were like horns. In the early morning of the [-]th, more than [-] Tartars suddenly stormed the Santun camp. The crime officer led more than [-] brothers in the city to resist desperately. Ma Shilong, according to the prior agreement, immediately Bring a large army to help. But I don't want to kill tens of thousands of Tartars on the way down from Jingzhong Mountain to Santun Yingcheng, and surround and wipe out Ma Shilong's troops! So..."

Qin Shuhuai interrupted, "Tens of thousands are tens of thousands?"

Zu Dashou was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes slightly, and said, "According to what the general knows, there are about [-]."

He wanted to exaggerate, but he immediately thought that since Qin Shuhuai already knew that Santunying had fallen, someone might have told him about the situation, so it's better to be honest at the moment.This Marquis Qin is a shrewd person, not as easy to deceive as those idiots in the Ministry of War.

Qin Shuhuai asked again, "That is to say, the [-] Tartars ambushed Ma Shilong first, and then joined forces with the [-] Tartars to besiege the three camps?"

Zu Dashou nodded quickly and said, "Yes! The battle lasted from dawn to dusk. All the soldiers in the city fought desperately, but there were too many Tazi soldiers and they were extremely brave, and our army only had [-] Guanning troops and Datong troops. The army can be called the main force, and the rest are all local guards, so Santun camp has fallen!"

After a pause, Zu Dashou added, "However, our army also severely damaged the Tartar soldiers. When the city was destroyed, the Tartars lost at least 1 soldiers!"

Zu Dashou did not lie about this.Under his command, the fierce battle between the Ming army and the Tartars lasted for a full day. With the strong city walls and sufficient firearms, it was true that at least the Tartars lost more than ten thousand battles.Even if there is an exaggeration, it is only an exaggeration of 2000 people at most.

"Then, what about after the city is broken? Why didn't you arrange street fighting?" Qin Shuhuai asked in a cold voice.

Zu Dashou's forehead was covered with sweat.

Lai San'er made tea for Qin Shuhuai and put it on the table, but he only took a teacup, obviously not for Zu's birthday.

Zu Dashou's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and he said, "The general thinks that if we fight the enemy in the street, our army will definitely not be an opponent. Instead, we will lose the lives of the soldiers. In order to preserve strength, the general decided to lead the brothers to break through! I don't want the Tartars We had been prepared for a long time, and we were blocked as soon as we left the city. The last general led [-] cavalry to deal with them and fought several battles. However, there were more and more Tartars, and the last general had no choice but to take the remaining four thousand cavalry. Let the cavalry break through first. At least, at least this way, we can save some vitality for the imperial court!"

How Zu Dashou escaped from the city, Qin Shuhuai had already asked Meng Wei to find out clearly from the soldiers who had escaped.After Zu Dashou left the city, he did not fight the Tartars at all, but left the infantry and ran away. According to the Ming law, he would have abandoned the city and fled.

But Qin Shuhuai didn't intend to kill Zu Dashou.

In the final analysis, the first ancestor, Dashou, was a general of the Guan Ning Army. To kill him, Yuan Chonghuan could only do it. He could not overstep, otherwise the generals of the Guan Ning Army would be hostile to him.Secondly, Zu Dashou was still useful, especially his [-] horses. Qin Shuhuai decided not to return it to Yuan Chonghuan, but letting Zu Dashou go would be a bargaining chip, so Yuan Chonghuan had to agree to this matter.
