I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 417 It’s hard to find such a good target

Chapter 417

Although Gaudí was stabbed several times and was bleeding profusely, in fact his injuries were not fatal. The Ming Dynasty was already the peak period of armor. Heavy armor like the one worn by Gaudí, even the horizontal sword of Ning Haijun's equipment , it is impossible to pierce armor with one sword, not to mention that the swords in the hands of these Guan Ning army generals are just ordinary Yanling swords.

However, even though he was unable to cause fatal damage to Gaudí, after more than ten blows, he was chopped into bloody pieces. He felt the coldness of despair on his body. The expression on Gaudí's face completely froze, and his eyes widened. The muscles on his face were so tense that General Bai Ginseng glared at him and screamed: "You...you..."

Bai Shenjiang said sadly: "Gao Shuai, I'm sorry, we have to survive!"

Gaudi pulled out his sword, held it with all his strength, pointed it at the generals, and yelled: "Traitor... traitor... traitor..."

puff!

A sharp spear stabbed from Gaudi. The sharp spear penetrated his body and protruded bloodyly from his chest. Gaudi's curses suddenly stopped.

As the saying goes, three arrows are not as good as one sword, and three swords are not as good as one spear. In fact, the lethality of a spear is very good, but the problem is that the effect of the spear is very average when dealing with heavy front armor, especially a light knock can make the spear deviate from the target. .

But the effect of assassinating someone in the back is pretty good.

Gao Di turned his head with great difficulty and saw Wu Chongming standing behind him with a smile. That smile was more terrifying than the devil's roar.

Wu Chongming was Gaodi's Qingshan General and a former soldier of Wu Xiang.

The corners of Gao Di's mouth twitched a few times, as if he wanted to cry, but also as if he wanted to laugh. He had always regarded Wu Chongming as his confidant and treated him well, but now, Wu Chongming gave him a fatal shot in Houbei. One shot completely cut off his life!
"Anyone has the right to call us traitors, except you Wu family members, and never have!"

Wu Chongming's voice was a little erratic, and his mockery was palpable: "It was your Wu family and the ancestral family who sold a large amount of food, iron, cotton and cloth to the old slaves. It was your Wu family and the ancestral family who refused to save the guest army time and time again and even provided information about the guest army to the slaves. You, the Wu family, took the lead in surrendering to Jiannu this time, and it was your Wu family who shaved off your hair and changed your banner, so what qualifications do you have to call us traitors?"

Gao Xie spat out a large mouthful of blood and spoke more eloquently: "I treat you badly, but you actually..."

"You really treated us well! When our original general died in battle and the entire army was beaten to pieces by the Jiannu slaves, it was you who took in us embers. When the people in Liaodong couldn't even eat enough wild vegetables. It was you who allowed us to live a good life of food and drink, and when the guest army was hungry and cold, it was you who equipped us with the most sophisticated weapons and made us your most trusted force!"

Wu Chongming roared: "But we want to go home! We want to take back our homeland in Liaodong that was occupied by the Jiannu slaves, collect the bones of our relatives who were massacred by the Jiannu slaves, reopen the already deserted countryside, and continue the work that our ancestors have opened up. The land thrives! We trust you and hope you can lead us to fight back, but how do you do it?"

Gaudi's eyes began to blur, and he couldn't say a word.

Although Wu Chongming's surname was Wu, in fact, he was not from western Liaoning, but from eastern Liaoning. He was a soldier under the command of Li Ruzhenhui, the third son of Li Chengliang. During the Battle of Tieling, Tieling fell and he was defeated by Wu Xiang. He took him in, and later followed Gao Di, and was promoted to the rank of general due to his merit.

"You only care about drinking the blood of soldiers and enriching the country. Have you ever thought about expelling the Jian slaves and regaining Liaodong? You have not! Not only have you not thought about it, you have also tried every means to sabotage the great cause of restoring Liao Dynasty. Now you have surrendered to the Jian slaves. How can you treat us? That’s not bad! Warlord leaders like you, who have little success but only failure, should have died long ago!”

Wu Chongming was a native of Liaodong. He was welcomed by a servant who was quite skilled and he readily took him in and made him a servant.Someone else might have been grateful to the Wu family long ago, but Wu Chongming is different. He has never forgotten his coach Li Rusong, nor has he forgotten how his coach died. The hatred has been simmering in his heart for 20 years. Now, now It finally broke out completely.

Wu Chongming roared and with a fierce force, he pulled out the spear from Gaudi's vest and brought out a blood arrow.He then waved his long knife, and Gao Di's head fell off with a thud. His eyes were still staring at Wu Chongming, wide open!

Wu Chongming didn't care about this. He lifted the head up with one hand and loudly shouted to Gao Di's soldiers: "I believe you have also seen that Jiannu is finished. If you continue to oppose the regent, you will die! Now I I have accomplished a small feat by chopping up this bastard. I plan to take his head to the Prince Regent and surrender to Cheng Shuai to see if I can become a small officer. But if that doesn’t work, I can just become an auxiliary soldier. Okay, even if we are allowed to return to our hometown, go back to Liaodong and become common people, anything will do! What about you? What are your plans?"

Gao Di was already dead, and Ning Haijun's artillery fire came one after another, and he even considered surrendering directly.

Just when Lu Xiangsheng, Lei Shisheng and other generals looked at Shanhaiguan being shrouded in gunpowder smoke, a white flag was hung on the wall of Shanhaiguan City, and Shanhaiguan actually surrendered.

"Why did they surrender?"

Lu Xiangsheng was very sorry. For Lu Xiangsheng, training artillery at the training ground is actually the same as training artillery at Shanhaiguan. It also requires the consumption of artillery shells and the same need for food. The problem is that the soldiers will not feel the same if they lose the atmosphere of the battlefield. the same.

But there was no way, he needed to report this matter to Cheng Shijie.

The hooves of galloping horses hit the road, making a dense roar.The hair of this sturdy Liaodong war horse was soaked with sweat. It was panting heavily while running, and streams of white foam gush out from its mouth and nose, and then were sprayed into the air.

Although Emperor Chongzhen canceled the post stations of the Ming Dynasty, as early as the winter of the fourth year of Chongzhen, when Cheng Shijie led the Ning Navy to cross Liaodong, he began to rebuild the Ning Navy's post system. At that time, the Ning Navy had not established a stable foothold in Liaonan, and any post station , are all military stations.

A lot of manpower and material resources were invested. With the expansion of Ning Haijun, the post station system that originally only expanded from Lushun, Jinzhou, Gaizhou, and Haizhou to Guangning, Liaozhong, Liaoyang and other places, but benefited from Liaodong With a developed economy, relying on commercial income can make up for the balance of payments of Liaodong's post station system, and even make some profits, but the gifts are not much.

As the Ning Navy conquered Shenyang from Liaodong, the post system became larger and larger. In fact, the most important task of the Andong Governor's Office now is to establish this complex and huge post system.

Starting last year, Ning Haijun occupied all places in western Liaoning except Shanhaiguan, and then western Liaoning was also included in this system, followed by Yongping Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture, and Baoding Prefecture.

Just in front, a post station was already in sight, but the war horse could no longer hold on. With a sad hiss, it collapsed, its whole body convulsed, every muscle was twitching, and its abdomen was rising and falling sharply like a bellows. Streams of blood sprayed out.It raised its head with difficulty and looked at its master, with tears in its eyes, as if it was begging for something.The rider's teeth dug deeply into his lips, blood flowed out, and his hands were trembling. He did not care about the consequences of the war horse. This war horse was already disabled. Even if it can be cured in the future, it can no longer take on the work of a post horse and can only be used as a rescue horse. Horse or crossbow horse.

"Urgent military situation!"

The rider ran towards the inn.In fact, the post station has already seen the rider, and the supplies have been prepared. Drinking water and food are also prepared. Like a relay race, the post guard leads the horse to the rider, checks his identity, signs, and Food and water, given to the rider.

It is more than 300 kilometers from Shanhaiguan to Beijing. Even if you drive by yourself in later generations, it will take three or four hours. However, through this station system, you can maintain a speed of 25 to [-] kilometers per hour, and it only takes more than fourteen hours. We arrived in Beijing.

When Cheng Shijie received the news, only sixteen hours had passed. Although it was far less than the speed of later generations, it was indeed the fastest speed in the Ming Dynasty. After completing this fastest handover, the rider ran on the road Although the price of losing four horses is not low, it is still very important for the court to get first-hand information at the first time.

Of course, at this time, Cheng Shijie was not asleep yet.The reason why he didn't sleep was not because of state affairs. Although there were quite a lot of state affairs, the real reason was because of Yang Yunniang.

For Brother Dayuan, his regret is Zhang Panpan.But it was Cheng Shijie who regretted Yang Yunniang.

In fact, Yang Yuniang is very inferior in her heart. Her biggest inferiority complex is her background, which is more important than hard work. Although Yang Yuniang worked very hard, she became a female deputy of the Ming Empire in less than six years from a person in the world. Xiang is also the woman with the highest official position in the Ming Dynasty so far.

Unlike the heroines of later Internet novels, Yang Yuniang is not very ambitious. If it were not for Cheng Shijie, she would not even be the president of the Ming Empire Bank, the Secretary of the Audit Department, or the deputy prime minister of the Ming Empire. They would not be attracted to Yang Yuniang. big.

As a girl who has been living in the country since she was a child, Yang Yuniang has met countless people, ranging from officials and nobles to ordinary people. In Yang Yuniang's understanding, the higher the status, the greater the power, and the more money people have, the more callous and unkind they are. Righteousness, especially to children and wives.

Only Cheng Shijie is an anomaly. Cheng Shijie's son Cheng Jialong is not like an ordinary father and son in the Ming Dynasty, and his daughter Cheng Jiayue is not like an ordinary father-daughter relationship in the Ming Dynasty.It’s not that Ming Dynasty didn’t have parents who were good to their children. Well, it’s either doting without a bottom line, or pampering without a bottom line.

However, Cheng Shijie has a principled and bottom-line love for Cheng Jiayue and Cheng Jialong. Cheng Shijie can play games with Cheng Jiayue, and can also play and joke with Cheng Jialong.

It can be said that Cheng Shijie is the best father in the world in Yang Yuniang's eyes. Of course, he is different from other men. He particularly respects women.

Women are all emotional, and many men have only one result when facing women, and that is the third way.In this era, it is really different from later generations. Women do not have the qualifications and power to say no, or they can only obey.

Yang Yuniang also thought in her heart that if Cheng Shijie was not a regent or a general, but just an ordinary person, Yang Yuniang would not mind becoming Cheng Shijie's woman.

But what happened last time was a bit of a blow to her.

She sat in front of Cheng Shijie, hoping that Cheng Shijie would give her an explanation. If she really didn't like him and couldn't be together, she wouldn't force him.

Cheng Shijie naturally did not explain to Yang Yunniang that the man was actually sincere and persistent. Like ordinary men, he liked young and beautiful girls. With his current identity and status, if he needed dozens, hundreds or thousands of women None of it is a problem.

It's like Brother Qiang who said he was blind and didn't know what beauty was, and it's like Brother Ma who said he never cares about money and only fantasizes about something when he's short of something.

Cheng Shijie has never raised fish, flowers and grass like others. He has never had this interest because he was born in a rural area and has been farming for more than ten years. He has no interest in farming. He has also raised fish in fish ponds. The kind of fish farming in there, because you get so much, you don’t care much about it.

Now Cheng Shijie can say like Brother Ma that he never cares about money, because to him, money is just a number that can blind his eyes with gold. However, Cheng Shijie never wears any gold and silver jewelry, because Cheng Shijie also There is no need to use jewelry to express his identity.

Yang Yuniang and Cheng Shijie were together, but they were talking about the future development of the bank. They did not talk about their relationship. Cheng Shijie also used his half-assed financial knowledge to talk to Yang Yuniang about the development trend of the bank, as well as the current loopholes and problems of Daming Bank. .

As this military intelligence report was sent to Cheng Shijie, he thought that Ning Haijun's artillery had made a breakthrough and had used artillery to defeat Shanhaiguan.

As a result, after seeing the intelligence clearly, I realized that there was internal strife between Gao Di and his generals. The fortresses were all breached from the inside. Whether it was the Ning Navy or the current Ming Royal Army, they actually lacked the ability and experience to attack fortresses. This was originally a A very good training target, but the training target was gone.

This means that the artillery training of the Anbei Army and Anxi Army needs to find another way. This is a matter that affects the whole body.

Seeing Cheng Shijie's ugly face, Yang Yunniang asked cautiously: "Did the front line lose the battle?"

"No, we won the battle and Shanhaiguan was captured!"

"Then why?"

Yang Yunniang couldn't figure it out. Wouldn't it be better to win the battle?

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "You don't know that the location of Shanhaiguan is so good. It is very close to Liaodong. You can quickly and easily mobilize supplies by sea. You can also strengthen the Anxi Army and the Anbei Army, including the Central Army and the Central Army that are about to be formed. Nan'an Army training, such a good target is hard to find!"
