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

Chapter 49

Chapter 048

In life, people are actually making choices.Every morning, you can choose to get up, or continue to sleep.There are pros and cons to this choice.When eating breakfast, you can also choose, choose buns or fried dough sticks, or choose to go to work on an empty stomach.

Every choice means that you will gain something and at the same time lose something.

When Cheng Shijie was training the Ning navy officers and men, he told them what consequences would result from their choices. For example, when facing the enemy, they could choose to turn around and run away. When their backs were exposed to the enemy, they would die even worse Come on, running away doesn't make them any safer.

For example, in the face of small profits, if you are greedy for small gains, you will lose more things. If you pick up a sesame seed, you will lose the watermelon.

Under this subtle influence, Zhang Huairen wanted to use the discarded money to attract Ning Navy officers and men to loot it, and finally they could get rid of some burdens and gain safety.

Just ask Admiral Ning whether the silver or the head is more important, and any soldier will answer that the enemy's head is more important.

In Ning Haijun's military regulations, it is clearly stipulated that it must be returned to the public if it is seized. No matter whether it is an ingot of silver, a box of silver, or even a mountain of silver in front of them, it will not belong to them, but to the collective of Ning Haijun.Regardless of whether they pick up the money or not, the part that belongs to them cannot escape.

If they hide their belongings privately, they will also be expelled from Ning Haijun, and their families will also lose the benefits of Ning Haijun's family members.

What seemed impossible in Zhang Huairen's eyes was actually that simple.

As the screams and screams behind him became lower and lower, they could no longer be heard.

In fact, Zhang Huairen was also very tired. It was really hard when they climbed the mountain, especially when they climbed the wild hillside with no roads.

"What army is that?"

"There is only one army near us, Dengzhou Weizuoqianhusuo. I heard that Zuoqianhu Cheng Shijie is a character!"

"I've heard about him. I heard that Qin Wu brought four thousand servants to trouble him, but ended up falling into his hands."

"It's a pity Qin Wu, he has many heroes under his command!"

Hearing the comments of his subordinates, Zhang Huairen had a sullen expression on his face: "Then let him join the team. Having such a strong general join the team will be of great benefit to our development!"

"What if he doesn't want to?"

Zhang Huairen sneered: "There are a few people in Liangshan who are willing to go up, but they are all forced. If he is not willing, I will make him unable to even make a thousand households, and then he will not be able to go up the mountain obediently!"

Zhang Huairen didn't brag, with the power of the Zhang family, it would be really easy to dismiss a thousand households, regardless of whether the thousand households committed crimes or not.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was politically correct for civil servants to suppress military officials. Arrow shooting, this is the severest punishment next to beheading. It is beaten with a military stick and then shot with arrows in the ear.

However, the problem is that Wang Xiangchun did not agree with such a punishment, and took the opportunity to step on Kong Youde, a military officer. As a result, he almost overthrew the Ming Dynasty, but it also planted the root of disaster for the demise of Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, Zhang Huairen made a long circle before returning to his lair.

Zhang Huairen's real cottage is actually not on the mountain, but a village.Nine out of ten of the bandits under his command are tenants of the Zhang family.This village called Zhangjiazhuang is exactly like an ordinary village.

After walking in the dark for most of the night, and then crossing the Rushan River, you can reach Zhangjiazhuang.

However, just as Zhang Huairen's bandits were wading across the river, densely packed torches appeared on the other side of the river, a torch winding for four or five miles.

Zhang Huairen, who was at the back of the team, didn't notice this abnormality, because he was too tired. As a noble son from a wealthy family, Zhang Huairen couldn't hold on after midnight. He asked the bandits under his command to make a tree trunk with cut tree poles. A simple wooden sedan chair, on which he was sleeping soundly.

"Officers and soldiers, there are officers and soldiers ahead!"

The bandits who were walking in front saw the officers and soldiers waiting in full battle, and hurriedly backed away in fright. The team, which was originally quite neat, immediately became chaotic.

In the chaos, the bandits who were carrying Zhang Huairen went limp and almost threw Zhang Huairen off the wooden sedan chair.But Zhang Huairen was awakened.

"what happened?"

"Young master, there are officers and soldiers in front of you!"

"What's wrong with the officers and soldiers? During the day, the officers and soldiers still have some fighting power. At night, they are all blind, and they will disperse as soon as they charge!"

Although Zhang Huairen doesn't know what night blindness is, he knows that the soldiers in the guard are a group of beggars, military households who are worse than beggars, and almost everyone suffers from blindness.

This is also because of this, there are endless famous battles in Chinese history, and there are almost no battle-level wars in night battles. Not only are soldiers suffering from night blindness at night, but it is also very inconvenient to command.

More than 100 bandits yelled and killed towards the Ning Haijun formation across the river.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shijie was slightly surprised. Where did these bandits get their confidence?

You know, after five kilometers of armed training, the endurance of Ning's navy officers and men on a long-distance march can beat the bandits by ten blocks, not to mention that the bandits took dozens of miles of detours in order to detour.

But Cheng Shijie had already known in advance that Zhangzhuang Village was the lair of Sanshan, the bandit town, by interrogating the captured bandits, so he just waited here for the bandits to arrive.

Seeing the bandits screaming and attacking, Cheng Shijie smiled lightly: "If they want to die, let them die!"

Following Cheng Shijie's order, Ning Haijun's crossbow shooters, musketeers, and archers fired arrows at the bandits in the river.

If it is on flat ground, these bandits may indeed rush to the front of Ning Haijun's formation, because whether it is a firecracker or a crossbow, the rate of fire is very slow.

This sentence means that when the crossbow shoots the enemy, when the enemy enters the effective range, there is only a chance to fire three arrows in a row.

But the problem is that these bandits actually cross the river, that is simply asking for their own death.

In the darkness, Admiral Ning Haijun began to develop, with dark red tongues of flames, and the sound of gunfire was dense like bursting beans.

It's just a pity that the shooting effect is not very good.

In a round of volley, there were only two hundred firecrackers, and only a dozen bandits were shot and fell into the river. However, one soldier's firecrackers exploded in the Ning Navy. Fortunately, the firecrackers did not charge much. It's just that the hands were blown bloody, but it was not life-threatening.

Cheng Shijie realized at that time that before the quality is not up to standard, it is absolutely impossible to equip large-scale firecrackers, otherwise it will be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers.

These bandits have also dealt with officers and soldiers, so they naturally know that at this time, they can only bite the bullet and rush forward. If they hesitate, they will only die.

More than 100 bandits, after paying 30 people to be shot, managed to board the river bank and killed the Ning Navy's army formation.

"Hold on, don't panic!"

"Hold the spear tightly and stab it hard!"

As most of the recruits, Ning Haijun soldiers were trained to follow orders and formed muscle memory. With Cheng Shijie's order issued, these soldiers didn't even have to think about what they could stab, they just stabbed out with their spears.

These bandits who rushed forward to fight with the officers and soldiers were extremely desperate to find that before they could swing their waist knives or spears, the spears stabbed by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side hit their chests, throats, and faces one after another.

The bandits who were wounded either died immediately, or fell to the ground and wailed!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Huairen found in despair that the bandits under his command had no chance to break through the defense line of the officers and soldiers. Even if they could finally break through, there were not many of them left.

"retreat……"

Zhang Huairen turned around and ran, but he ran less than three or four hundred steps, but saw a fire dragon appearing behind him, and there were quite a few of them, hundreds of them.

If he hadn't crossed the river and charged, he would still have the chance to fight when he still had more than 100 people under his command, but now he has no chance.

Zhang Huairen said to the Ning Haijun soldiers on the opposite side: "Master, don't fight, leave us a way to survive, I can give you money, how about it? Think about it? Aren't you eating this bowl of beheaded rice just for money? We Is it okay to give you money!"

"How much silver do you have?"

"5000 taels!"

"It's only 5000 taels!"

Zhang Yu said with some regret: "Attack..."

"1 taels... No, 2 taels of silver, you don't know how much 2 taels of silver is, it's enough for you to spend ten lifetimes..."

The Ning Navy soldiers under Zhang Yu's command swarmed up. They may not have strong combat skills, but the problem is that they are like tigers in the herd, killing the bandits under Zhang Huairen's command. It was cut to pieces.

Many Ning Haijun soldiers chopped off the heads of the bandits, but muttered in their mouths: "Ten mu, ten mu, and ten mu!"

Now there are only two paths for Zhang Huairen and the bandits under his command, retreat, there are pursuers behind, and a strong enemy in front, neither can advance nor retreat.

The dozen or so bandits who survived surrounded Zhang Huairen and had no choice but to retreat into the river.

Although the river was not deep at this time, about eighty or ninety centimeters, the problem was that the river was freezing cold, and they couldn't hold on any longer.

Moreover, Ning Haijun soldiers on both sides of the river began to go down the river. There were many corpses floating in the river, and their heads were not cut off in time. These were all white money and fields.

Zhang Huairen shouted to the officers and soldiers: "I am Zhen Sanshan, I want to see your general!"

Cheng Shijie stepped forward, but Chen Guodong blocked Cheng Shijie with his body.

Zhang Huairen saw Cheng Shijie. Although Cheng Shijie had lost a lot of weight now, he was still a fat man with a white face, not like the kind of fierce general who can conquer and fight well.

Seeing Cheng Shijie, Zhang Huairen was somewhat disappointed and said, "General Cheng, can you take a step to speak?"

"Okay, you surrender, this general does not kill unarmed people!"

"Good talk!"

Zhang Huairen dropped the long knife in his hand, and a dozen other bandits also raised their hands and surrendered.

Soon, four large carts surrounded each other to form a house.That's right, it's the house, which is Cheng Shijie's idea. In later generations, he liked the RV very much, but the RV is a big toy for the rich, and he couldn't afford it.

In this time and space, he used the craftsmen under his hands to build a four-wheeled carriage. This carriage is the same as an ordinary box carriage, but four carriages put together will form a house with an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

In this house, Cheng Shijie met Zhen Sanshan.

Zhang Huairen was escorted into the house by several soldiers.

"Your Majesty!"

Cheng Shijie said, "What do you want to say?"

"5 taels of silver, buy my life!"

"Hmph, the general beheaded you, and you can still get the 5 taels of silver, and your silver will immediately become the general's trophy... What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with the general!"

"Laiyang Zhang family, is it enough?"

If Cheng Shijie was from Dengzhou or Shandong, he would know the energy and power of the Zhang family in Laiyang. It is a pity that Cheng Shijie is not an aborigine.

The point is, Zhen Sanshan, a gangster, has no attitude of being a prisoner at all, which makes Cheng Shijie unhappy.

"not enough!"

Cheng Shijie said towards the outside: "Come here, take Zhen Sanshan to his lair and shout, if he doesn't surrender, he will kill them!"

Zhang Huairen said arrogantly to Cheng Shijie: "You will regret it!"

Cheng Shijie's big foot kicked directly on Zhang Huairen's face: "Damn it, I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

A few teeth fell out of Zhang Huairen's mouth, and he stared at Cheng Shijie with scarlet eyes: "Haha...you will regret it!"

Cheng Shijie said with a faint smile: "I want to anger this general, so please be happy. This general tells you that there are no doors. Cheng Shi, Cheng Hu!"

"Father!"

"I leave it to you, three meals a day, even one less, but don't beat me to death!"

"Yes!"
