Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 220 This woman is so disobedient
"Open the city gate! We are the Huai'an army! We are a friendly army! We have returned from conquering Jiannu, open the city gate quickly, and let us enter!"

Outside the city, there were soldiers holding big trumpets and shouting loudly.

Shen Chen and the others looked at each other.

They didn't expect that as soon as they greeted outside, they would pretend to be the Huai'an Army.

If they didn't open the city gate, it would be their fault instead.

But at this time, how dare they open the city gate!
"Listen, soldiers under the city, please station outside first, we will send wine and meat immediately to reward the army. After the settlement is complete, open the gate of the city and invite the army to enter the city!" Shen Chen shouted in a trembling voice.

He didn't dare to open the city gate, and he didn't dare to say that he couldn't open it... As a governor, he was really aggrieved to death.

Ping Pong Pong!

What responded to him was a burst of gunfire.

"Dog officials at the head of the city! We fought hard outside the Great Wall, fighting life and death, and returning after hundreds of battles! You are popular in the city, and now you don't open the door to us? What do you mean? Not to us A way to survive? If you don’t give us a way to survive, then everyone will have no way to survive!”

The leading sub-captain yelled.

"Yes! If we don't give us a way to survive, everyone will die together!"

"Rush to the city! Charge to the city!"

Ping Pong Pong!

The soldiers shouted and fired continuously on the horses.

There are not many of them, only about a hundred of them, but all of them are equipped with Lee-Enfield rifles, which can be fired by pulling the bolt, and the rate of fire is extremely fast.

The rifle has a long range and great power. It leaves bullet holes at the city gate and at the city gate.

As long as the soldiers at the top of the city dare to show their faces, they will immediately become targets.

"Shen Chi! Wang Kun! Wang Chengyun! Listen, if you don't open the city gate, we're going to pull heavy artillery and start attacking the city!"

The squad leader yelled, and immediately someone raised a flag and sent out a signal.

tom tom tom!
In the distant position, a salvo of artillery was fired immediately, and solid bullets hit the city wall one after another.

boom!
One of them happened to hit the city gate, smashing a hole in the thick wooden door.

"Siege!"

"Siege!"

In the distant position, thousands of crusaders roared at the same time, and the voice from the chest was loud.

Shen Chi and the others were trembling.

"Wang... Lord Wang, Zhao Cheng is a traitor, this is plotting rebellion! He... is really daring! If he attacks the city, how sure are you that you can hold the city until the imperial reinforcements arrive?" Shen Chi asked tremblingly.

"Absolutely...absolutely keep..." Wang Chengyun's teeth were also chattering.

The bullets whistled and flew continuously in the air, making a "swoosh" sound.

Even though he is the general officer of Xuanfu Town, he can be regarded as experienced in hundreds of battles, but he has never seen this kind of firecracker.

In a few months, the firearms of the conscript army seemed to have become sharper.

"Absolutely able to hold it?" Shen Chi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Absolutely can't hold it!" Wang Chengyun was sweating anxiously, "The conscript army is so strong, how can we fight? Before they leave the customs, only a thousand people can rush into our Chaigoubao city! Now, they just There are thousands of troops outside the city, and the firearms and equipment are obviously sharper than before.

In Guancheng, there are thousands of people.According to the report from our investigation, in Qiangdi, the training of troops in Qiangdi is in full swing. If necessary, they can send thousands of soldiers and horses at any time, plus the defenders of Huai'an City. It was truncated.

Once a conflict occurs, we can only defend the isolated city.As for the imperial court, how can there be soldiers on hand?Even if we ask for help, the imperial court clearly orders reinforcements from all over the country to come here and there. I don’t know how long it will take. By the time they arrive, our city will already be destroyed!
My lord, think twice!Don't offend the conscript army! "

Wang Chengyun earnestly said.

"Master Shen, according to our family, why don't you open the city gate! Opening the city gate is worse than letting someone break in! No matter what, our Huai'an army is outside. The one named Zhao has not yet publicly announced Rebel flag!" Wang Kun said.

He really hated and feared Zhao Cheng.

"That's right! The one surnamed Zhao didn't openly raise the anti-flag. We opened the city gate, and we didn't surrender to the enemy." Shen Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As a governor, he has the responsibility to guard the land. If he loses his land, he will be dismissed from office or even beheaded.

And if he sacrificed the city, not only would his reputation be ruined, his body would be decapitated, and even his family would be implicated.

"Open the city gate! Open the city gate quickly!"

Shen Qi shouted immediately.

The flag at the head of the city is fluttering, and the gate of the city is opened.

"Let's go! Everyone, go with me to welcome our great hero of Ming Dynasty!"

It is also courageous for Shen Chen to be able to govern one side.

Now that he has decided to open the city gate, there is no point in dodging around.

If the conscripts were really malicious towards him, no matter where he hid, it would be useless, they would all be caught.

It's better to be frank and frank, and go to the door to meet the hero, which is more decent.

The city gates opened wide, and the drawbridge fell.

Rumble!
The soldiers of the expeditionary army immediately rushed over on their horses.

As soon as Shen Chi and the others reached the door, they saw thousands of cavalry rushing towards them.

Howling!
The leading warriors pulled the horse's reins, and the front hooves of the horse stood up, neighing.

People are like jade, horses are like dragons!
The soldiers of the conquest army were all filled with a fierce aura.

I really don't know that He De and He Neng, surnamed Zhao, can get the service of so many strong soldiers.

A squad leader stepped on the stirrup and jumped off the horse.

"Governor, please take a look at the "21 Articles of Cooperation with the Military Government of the Expeditionary Army". Our commander-in-chief said that if you sign these 21 articles, we are friends. As long as our commander is here, you are from Xuanfu Township of the Ming Dynasty." governor.

If you don't sign, we are the enemy, and our conscript army can only attack the city. This is called the government forcing the people to rebel. "

Shen Chen almost suffocated in one breath, he was so angry in his heart!
He has already opened the gate of the city, yet Zhao is still persecuting him like this!
The point is, the person surnamed Zhao didn't come by himself, but sent an unknown little character to come!
This is simply contempt for him!
In any case, he, Shen Chen, is the dignified governor of the Ming Dynasty!

However, I have to say that Zhao Cheng's conditions moved his heart.

As long as Zhao Cheng is around, he will be the governor of Daming Xuanfu Town...

Zhao Cheng really has this ability now.

In this chaotic world, if you have soldiers in your hands, you can speak hard.

Shen Chi is also considered to be a man who knows soldiers, he knows very well how bad the current imperial court is, and there are very few soldiers that can be used.

So a few months ago, knowing that the Eight Banners army was running out of food, he still chose to be an enemy and show his favor to Huang Taiji.

Just to give myself more ways to retreat.

Now, Zhao Cheng gave him a way, and of course he would consider it.

Opening eleven items and reading each item, Shen Chi let out a slight breath, but felt relieved.

Shen Qi didn't have the ambitions of Guan Ningjun. The most difficult thing for Wu Xiang and his son to accept was to station one hundred law enforcement officers in the city, that is, one hundred armed soldiers. This was nothing to him at all.

Anyway, even without these hundred armed men, it would be a breeze for the expeditionary army to take down any city in Xuanfu Town.

Shen Chi even understood that Xuanfu Town was already riddled with holes.

Wealthy businessmen and gentry all like to do business with Dongfang companies, and in private, I don't know how many people flirt with the Conscript Army.

If the conquering army attacked the city, there would definitely be no shortage of people who would quietly open the city gates for them.

Therefore, more than a hundred armed personnel have no effect on him.

As for road construction, goods circulation and so on, it is even less of a problem.

"This general, Zhao Shuai is considerate of me, and I agree with these eleven items. Can I invite Zhao Shuai to come and make a decision in person..."

As soon as Shen Chi spoke halfway, he was rudely interrupted:
"After you sign this clause, and the army enters the city, you will naturally meet the commander!"

Zhao Cheng never concealed his dislike for corrupt officials such as Shen Chen. Under his influence, these soldiers naturally did not like Shen Chen.

Shen Chi's complexion changed one after another, making it extremely ugly.

In fact, he did not object to asking him to sign the Eleven Articles.

But Zhao Cheng casually sent a small person to dismiss him, which felt like a great humiliation to him.

Scholars care most about face.

But now he had no choice but to sign with a pen, and was prompted to press his fingerprints again.

Only then was the sub-captain satisfied, took the contract, turned around and left.

Zhao Cheng looked at the handwriting signed by Shen Qi and laughed.

Everything was within his expectations.

Shen Chen would have joined the enemy Huang Taiji back then, and he will sign this agreement today.

At the moment, the army entered the city.

Thousands of soldiers, all dressed in gray uniforms and carrying red flags, lined up neatly, sang military songs, and marched into Chaigou Fort with high morale.

Changing the flag, changing the military uniform... This is actually equivalent to a rebellion!It's just a matter of shouting out verbally.

But if Zhao Cheng didn't shout out, no one would dare to expose him.

When Shen Chen saw Zhao Cheng, he was even more surprised.

Zhao Cheng actually cut off all his hair.

This lady is so disobedient!

How can the body, hair and skin be damaged by the parents?

This is simply no father and no mother!
It's a pity that no one in this world can accept this big devil,

Shen Chen scolded Zhao Cheng ten thousand times in his heart, and he still had a smile on his face.

"Marshal Zhao, congratulations, Hexi! You're back in triumph!"

"Master Shen, you are being polite. During this trip, our Huai'an army defeated the army of Jiannu and wiped out the Eight Banners troops including the Huang Taiji Department. Please, Master Shen, give credit for us."

Zhao Cheng made a signal, and immediately someone pulled a cart full of flags and armor.

Shen Chi is in the border town, so of course he can be recognized at a glance, these trophies are definitely not fake.

This flag and Dazhao are only used by the Khan of the Kingdom of Jin and the flag owners.

And that armor, with blood stains on it, was thrown on the ground in carts...

It seems that the conquering army really completely defeated the army of the Kingdom of Jin, there is no doubt about it.

Knowing that this is the truth, Shen Chen still feels that this is like a dream.

The court's confidant is in serious trouble, and the increasingly powerful Dajin Kingdom was wiped out by Zhao Cheng so easily?

"It should be!"

Shen Chen let out a slight breath, and then his heart began to get excited.

This is definitely a feat!
Even if he didn't dare to take the credit of Zhao Cheng, as long as he shared a little, he would be able to do his best.

Who else could move his hat?

"Then Shengjing..." Shen Chen reminded.

He got the news that Shengjing, and even the whole of Liaodong, had been recovered by the conquering army.

"Shengjing? Oh, we have already defeated the Eight Banners army near the Naiman tribe and the Aohan tribe. Later I heard that Shengjing has changed hands. We don't know exactly who took it.

At that time, the general wanted to take the opportunity to restore Shengjing, but the food and grass were cut off, and the soldiers were exhausted and unable to fight again, so we had no choice but to turn back. "

Zhao Cheng's tone was flat.

Shen Chi's eyes widened.

This is what I said... a liar!

Why are you running out of food and grass, and your soldiers are exhausted from all battles, unable to fight anymore...Look at your men, each of them is full of high morale, and they are alive and well. Do you believe what you say?

Moreover, he has also received definite news that Sheng Jing was indeed restored by Zhao Cheng.

But now, Zhao Cheng actually lied to his face.

Zhao Cheng knew he was lying, and Shen Chi and others also knew he was lying.Zhao Cheng also knew that Shen Chi and others knew he was lying, but he still lied...

It is so aboveboard, it is so unscrupulous.

Shen Chi lowered his head and let out a deep breath.

He was very fortunate that Zhao Cheng was willing to lie to him, otherwise, he would really have nowhere to go.

"Marshal Zhao has done his best! For such a great achievement, I believe the court will definitely reward him with great rewards. He will be promoted to a higher rank, just around the corner!" Shen Qi said.

"My lord, I'm sorry." Zhao Cheng nodded lightly.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said: "Oh, that's right. Chaigoubao and Zhangjiakou are the fortresses of Xuanfu Town. They may be invaded by the Tartars outside the Great Wall at any time. For the safety of the people, the general will be willing to arrange some subordinates , to assist Mr. Shen in defending the pass."

Zhao Cheng didn't wait for Shen Chen's response, he turned his head and said:
"An Qiang, please stay with your Sixth Army Corps. Take Chaigoubao and Zhangjiakou as the center, sit in Xuanfu Town, and help Mr. Shen resist the Tartars and protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Yes, handsome!"

An Qiang stood at attention and gave a military salute with a "snap".

"Do things well. The specifications of your Sixth Army are the same as those of the Third Army. You must develop well and be ready to move eastward at all times."

Xuanfu Town is close to the capital.

After controlling Xuanfu Town, if you move your troops to the east, you will be able to quickly approach the city of the capital.

"Don't worry, Commander! Our Sixth Army will never disappoint Commander!" An Qiang was excited.

Shen Chi, Wang Kun and others were all staring at the side.

Everyone knows that the Sixth Army Corps is nominally assisting Shen Chi, but in fact, it is controlling the entire Xuanfu Town.

But Shen Qi didn't dare to do anything.

Zhao Cheng is ambitious, and Xuanfu Town is a place where wind and clouds meet... Shen Chi felt that he couldn't stay here any longer.

He secretly decided in his heart that with the help of this great achievement, he must operate well, mobilize all relationships, and strive to be transferred out of Xuanfu Town.

Can't be provoked, can't he hide?

As long as he is transferred from here, everything has nothing to do with him.

Zhao Cheng didn't stay in Chai Gou Fort too long, and went straight to Huai'an City by taking advantage of the road.

From a distance, you can see the head of Huai'an City, with the red flag flying.
