Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Maradi City.

Sitarama and Hamid continued to test Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin, but both Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin behaved very normally.

The letter requesting reinforcements has been sent out, and it was sent in front of Sitarama and Hamid, but Zhang Dingbian also said before that it is impossible for the reinforcement letter to be sent within three to five months. After finishing these things, Zhou Buxin led fifty 'merchants' to make purchases in Maradi City, and they wanted everything that Daming did not have.

Seeing Zhou Buxin throwing out handfuls of silver and gold coins, Sitarama and Hamid were jealous.

If so much money is given to Maradi, Sitarama is confident that within a year, the city of Maradi will be doubled in size, and the number of people and soldiers will increase significantly... But Zhou Buxin spent all of this money , Sitarama saw it in his eyes, and his heart was bleeding.

Seeing Zhou Buxin spend money, Hamid also felt pain. He told Sitarama several times to let him make a move quickly, but Sitarama was still hesitating and couldn't make up his mind.

The hesitation of being a father, Hamid can't stand it anymore!

He went directly to the palace to find Sitarama, and said directly: "Father, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Zhou Buxin will spend all the money! Even if we grab the things they bought and sell them again, the money will be lost." It will shrink greatly, and you will lose if you hesitate, father, when you break it, you break it!"

At the same time, Hamid said with great distress: "In this month, how many meals have we invited those two Ming people? How many gifts have we given them? We will send them another two months, and we will have to wipe out the walls of the palace." It was all scraped off and given to them."

Sitarama gave gifts to Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin, which made Hamid feel distressed. Those things... After Sitarama died, they all belonged to him.

Holding the invitation card sent by Hamid, Zhou Buxin judged: "The invitation card was sent by Hamid, but it was in the name of Sitarama. The father and son began to fight among themselves... Hamid was young and vigorous, Half a month ago, I was faintly impatient, and now I am taking over the responsibility, and it is estimated that the action will be tonight."

"Hahahaha!"

Although Sitalama has some understanding of the culture of the Central Plains, but that is the old calendar. Today's Great Ming is changing with each passing day. If Sitalama has a little understanding of the current Great Ming, his worries will become more.

In the royal palace, there were staggered toasts and cups, and it was very lively.

If Hamid succeeds in beheading Sitarama, the nobles in Maradi will only praise Hamid for his decisiveness and support Hamid even more enthusiastically.

Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin have been acting with him for a month!

In order to be able to win the first battle, except for the guards guarding the palace, Hamid gathered all [-] soldiers in the city to the pier.

When he turned the refugees into sergeants at Longxing Temple, Zhu Han paid great attention to the corporal and special commanders at the grassroots level in the army. When training them, he not only taught them basic military moves, but also trained them in how to fight on the battlefield. Judging the situation, the number of the army has increased, and Zhu Han has paid more and more attention to the education of grassroots officers, especially in the navy. Even if the military commander is not in the army, his deputy general can replace the commander in charge of the overall situation... the commander If the lieutenant general and lieutenant general are not present, the school lieutenant can also perform the functions of the chief general instead of them.

"..."

1200VS80, Hamid felt that he would not lose no matter what he thought... Thinking of the easy-to-get wealth after winning the Daming Merchant Ship, Hamid's eyes became more and more eager.

As long as the troops leading the battle succeed, he can grab the fruits of victory and let the troops led by his cronies control Maradi's situation. When the time comes, he will attack the royal city, and he will be able to drive Sitarama from the throne and become Maradi himself. the monarch.

Although Sitaramah blamed Hamid for his recklessness, he personally agreed with what Hamid said in his heart. The Ming army and merchants who came to Maradi City were not very strong.

……

Hamid was young and energetic, and he didn't take his father's reminder to heart. Instead, he said to Sitarama: "Father, if you dare not do it, then I will do it. The fleet of Daming only has fifty merchants and fifty Guards, what are they afraid of doing? When we start, we separate these guards, Zhou Buxin and Zhang Dingbian from the merchant ships, and we have a chance."

Although Sitaramah wanted to do something, he was still trying to maintain his dignity in the face of Hamid: "Did they lie to us, can you tell me clearly? Did you send someone on board to look at it?"

"Okay, let's see General Zhang's demeanor today!"

"Good talk!"

Sitarama is closer to Zhang Dingbian. After all, the two are "good brothers" who have drunk many times. Besides, Zhang Dingbian confided a lot of "inside information" about Daming to him. Zhang Dingbian was even more eager.

And what about Hamid?
After obtaining Sitarama's consent, he immediately gathered Maradi's soldiers and horses, let Sitarama's cronies lead the battle, and he himself formed the second echelon of soldiers and horses he could control.

Zhou Buxin tried his best to be serious, put his hands on his legs and pinched the flesh of his legs, for fear that he would laugh out loud.

One thing, it is still a very popular tradition in Maradi, that is, the monarch takes the lead in the charge. This is to show the bravery of the leader, and also to intimidate the people under him. If they don’t even have the courage to charge, they should be Without the monarch, there is no way to convince the public.

"Hmph! Childish!"

Zhang Dingbian moved his wrist, and then said: "In the evening, we brought twenty guards. I have observed the location of the palace of Sitarama. The hall where he invited us to eat overlooks the entire palace. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We just need to occupy it , twenty guards are enough to support the army until the arrival of the army."

However, when he rushed to the merchant ship with his troops, he found that there was no one on the merchant ship, and the same happened to the other four merchant ships.

Zhou Buxin...Although he is also a corrupt official, Hamid said that he is not very close to him, and Zhou Buxin seems to be guarding against him everywhere, so in the eyes of Sitarama, Zhou Buxin is a villain who only takes money and does not work , so the intimacy is not high.

Hamid immediately said: "Go, there is nothing, people have been sent to watch it all the time, no one got off the boat at all, besides... It's been a month, they have never delivered food to the boat, if the boat really Someone, how do they eat this month? Can't they starve to death without food?"

1000 two hundred people beat 100 people...ah no, there were only 80 people, and [-] of them went to the palace with Zhang Dingbian for dinner.

Sitarama is an old man on the verge of death. He is uncertain about what to do. If he continues to stay on the throne, it will only hinder the development of Maradi City.

But after tonight, it doesn't matter anymore.

Zhang Dingbian took out the two short blades and handed them to Zhou Buxin, asking him to hold them when he went to the banquet at night: "If we fight at night, I may not be able to take care of you, so I use them for self-defense."

In an instant, a chill flowed down from his head, directly making his legs tremble.

"He invited the two of us to go together, didn't he just want to separate us from the merchant ship, and then raid the merchant ship in the dark? If this is the case, how can we live up to their plan?"

This practice of relying on bravery to lead a team was not popular in Daming 1000 years ago, which shows the gap between Daming and Western countries.

"Isn't this just right? Our soldiers are all moldy in the cabin, and the dry food is almost eaten. They are doing it now, which is exactly what I want."

How many gifts Zhou Buxin took from Hamid, I have to spit it out tonight!

Zhang Dingbian waved his hand: "Since Hamid is sick, let him have a good rest. Let's drink... Hahaha, this wine is a good thing. There is an old saying in Daming that drinking wine can make people brave. A drunk mouse dares to provoke a tiger, Lao Xi...let your son drink less alcohol, so as not to get drunk."

Sitarama had never seen Zhang Dingbian's bravery, and he drank and ate meat all day long, like a wine bag and rice bag, but Zhou Buxin knew that this was a fierce general who could fight Chang Yuchun for eighty rounds. , except for Chang Yuchun, no general is Zhang Dingbian's opponent.

Fooling around Sitarama, Zhang Dingbian really came here with his mouth open... As far as the old sayings he said, Zhou Buxin felt that he could only listen to half of them, and the rest were made up randomly. Poor Sitarama is still confiding in Zhang Dingbian. Miscellaneous hair does not know is too ignorant, or no brains.

Seeing that Hamid couldn't wait any longer, Sitarama sighed helplessly, but he didn't persuade him any more. Perhaps his own idea was to let Hamid take risks... Even if the attack on the Daming Merchant Ship failed, Sitarama You can also shift the responsibility to Hamid, saying that these are all Hamid's ideas and have nothing to do with him.

It was getting late, and Hamid's excited heart and trembling hands did not allow him to look outside any longer. He drew out his knife and led Maradi's soldiers to charge.

Hearing Zhang Dingbian's words, Zhou Buxin agreed. The sergeants on the ship stayed in the cabin for a month, eating dry food all day long, and they were full of anger. Now they are hungry wolves. Whenever an enemy approaches, they will not be torn apart. No wonder.

……

Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin are also observing the actions of Sitarama and his son at the same time. They have been invited to dinner by Sitarama and Hamid in Maradi for a month, and Zhang Dingbian can't help complaining. During this month, he weighed at least five catties.

"General Zhang, Mr. Zhou, the two of you can go to the banquet together, it really makes my place flourish."

Zhang Dingbian was gearing up, "Old Zhou, what are the arrangements for tonight?"

"If they are really ready to do something, let the Ming Dynasty Navy teach them a good lesson."

what happened?

In the eyes of these people, there is no concept of a monarch, let alone shame, just like the nomads in the northern grasslands, as long as Shanyu is replaced, there will be a reshuffle of rights. This was the case in the grasslands back then, and now the city of Maradi The same is true, even in the whole Nanyang there is no concept of a monarch, it is just survival of the fittest and survival of the weak.

old man!
There was a killing intent in Hamid's eyes. If Sitaramah didn't cooperate with him well tonight, he didn't mind taking more violent measures to make Sitaramah succumb.

But at the pier at this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the air was silent.

……

Zhou Buxin held the dagger in his hand, and Zhang Dingbian did not continue to chat with him: "I'll go to the cabin to arrange it. If anyone dares to approach the caravan at night, there will be no return."

Hamid suddenly had a bad feeling: he seems to have been tricked!

"You're still called a young man without arrogance? Father, I don't think you dare!"

Sitarama had already figured out how to deal with it, and said to Zhou Buxin: "In the afternoon, Hamid suddenly felt a headache, so he rested in the back. If he feels better at night, he will come to toast Mr. Zhou."

Sitarama didn't know what Zhang Dingbian meant, but raised his glass: "Come on, drink! Drink!"

There are only a hundred Ming people, what is there to be afraid of?

The 'sick' Hamid was leading Maradi's soldiers to ambush outside the horse's head, and what they were staring at were the five Ming merchant ships docked ahead.

Zhou Buxin smiled sinisterly, "They think that if we separate from the merchant ships, they can make the merchant ships leaderless. It's ridiculous... Even if there is no commander in the Ming Dynasty, the sergeants can fight on their own."

It was night, Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin came to the palace of Sitarama, and Sitarama was waiting outside the main hall early. When he saw Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Bushen, he immediately ran over with a smile on his face, and greeted Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin with a low profile. Zhou Buxin.

"I guess...the showdown is going to be tonight?"

Sitarama was speechless. Although what Hamid said was reasonable, he still didn't dare to do it lightly, so he had no choice but to persuade: "This matter is related to the destruction and prosperity of Maradi City, and it is even more related to ours. Survival, so be careful, be careful! You are still young, don't be too arrogant."

"It's been tricked! Withdraw!"

Zhou Buxin said with a smile: "These 20 people are the most suitable to protect me, haha...General Zhang alone can be compared to ten thousand enemies!"

In order to ensure that everything is safe, Sitarama also brought out his hidden power together, preparing to make a big gamble to ensure the success of the first battle!
When they arrived at the banquet, Zhou Buxin looked around, and then Sitarama asked, "Why didn't you see Hamid?"

General Zhang was high-spirited, and pulled Zhou Buxin out: "Let's go together, let's let people see tonight, what is the general of Ming Dynasty!"

Hamid has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is very confident in his skills. He believes that he can handle 80 people with his own hands.

"There are only 100 of them, and we are ten times as many as them. There is no need to be afraid!"

Hamid yelled quickly, then pushed the soldiers away and ran out. When he ran out of the cabin, he found... a lot of people gathered on the deck at this time.

They wore iron armor, held long knives, and the iron helmets on their heads covered their faces, leaving only their eyes and mouths outside, and even their noses were covered with iron plates.

This is... Daming's army?

There are at least eighty Ming soldiers on this boat!
What about other ships?

Hamid was in a panic now, and his hand holding the knife was trembling slightly... He had a thought in his heart that his life might be coming to an end.
