Chapter 14 Mixed into Matsuyama
Originally decided to attack Songshan City while it was dark, but in order to wait for the moon caravan to send firearms, Zhao Yi decided to set off again the next day. After ordering the deputy general to prepare dry food and dried meat for five days, Zhao Yi sent someone to send the moon to Go to the posthouse to rest, sit in the big tent and close your eyes to think about whether there are any loopholes in this plan. The lives of the entire army are in your own hands.

Zhao Yi suddenly opened his eyes and called Niu Yong. The two whispered in the big tent for a while, then Niu Yong walked out of the big tent and led a group of cavalry to Wuji Ridge.

***************
Jingcheng, Supervisor of Rituals
Like the cabinet, the Supervisor of Rituals is just an inconspicuous small courtyard, but most of the eunuchs who come and go here are eunuchs, and they walk lightly, so be more cautious, lest something wrong will disturb the The nine thousand years old inside.

Although there are today's saints who are diligent in government and love the people, it is impossible to handle everything in person. Most of the memorials are still handled by the eunuchs who hold the pen and print the palm.

At this time, the lights in the Prison of Priestess were brightly lit, an old eunuch at the head of the desk was writing something with a brush, and several young eunuchs standing beside him respectfully stood behind him , The atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.

The quiet atmosphere of the director of ceremonies was suddenly broken. I saw Eunuch Zeng kneeling in the inner hall, crying with snot and tears: "Grandpa nine thousand and nine hundred years old, you have to be the master of this old slave. The godson who didn't live up to expectations...was...killed by a little bastard named Zhao Yi."

The old eunuch on the case did not raise his head, could not see his face, seemed indifferent to Mr. Zeng's words, his pair of dull eyes were still staring at the memorial on the table, no expression could be seen on his face, his gray hair And drooping bags under the eyes, it seems that the old eunuch is no longer young, and his waist is already a little bent, as if the whole person is lying on the desk.

Seeing that the old eunuch didn't respond, Eunuch Zeng, who was kneeling in the hall, continued, "Grandpa nine thousand and nine hundred years old, if it's just because of my godson being hacked to death, this old slave won't bother you, I think That kid is sincerely fighting against your old man, I am not afraid if he doesn't take me seriously, but this little monkey dare not take you seriously..."

Before he could finish speaking, the pen in the old eunuch's hand suddenly stopped, and his cloudy eyes flashed, but he still didn't raise his head, but said plainly: "Zeng Zhicheng, you should die!" These words were very plain, It was as easy and plain as gossip, but when Eunuch Zeng, who was kneeling in the hall, heard it, his whole body felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, and the hairs all over his body were blown up. Like garlic, blood flowed all over his face immediately: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I am loyal to my [-]-year-old grandfather."

The old eunuch put down the pen in his hand, took a sip of the good fragrant tea, and immediately the bloody atmosphere in the room was covered by the fragrance of the tea leaves. Said flatly: "Okay, our family is in a good mood today, and we don't want to see blood. Our family is old and our hearts are softened. If we are a few years younger and dare to use our family as a gun to make people, our family will definitely teach us a lesson. His." On the old eunuch's old face, there was a hint of ferocity, and then he returned to normal.

"Old slave..Old slave...don't dare anymore. This old slave was confused for a moment. I just begged the [-]-year-old grandpa to be the master of this old slave for the sake of my loyalty. That's what this old slave did. My son, but he was beheaded by that civil servant." Zeng Zhicheng cried out his grievance again, his old chrysanthemum face was dripping with blood, it was extremely terrifying.

The old lady in the hall finished listening, sighed deeply, and leaned on the tiger-skin seat: "Our family also knows about this. Our family is old and has few years of work, but as soon as I leave, Huang... That person will definitely not let you guys go, our family doesn't want to take care of these chores anymore, our family just wants to live a peaceful life for a few days, and you need to think about the solution yourself, did you hear that? ?."

"Listen... I heard it." Eunuch Zeng replied tremblingly.

The fierce aura of the old eunuch disappeared in an instant, and he leaned lazily on the tiger skin cushion of the chair, rubbed his temples with his dry and wrinkled old hands, and said slowly: "Look at this book, it should be instructive Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, the little eunuch behind quickly picked up the booklet and handed it to Zeng Zhicheng. "

Zeng Zhicheng picked up the memorial and looked at it. It was actually sent from the Tumu Fort. It said that the Tartars would invade the border in the near future, and they also asked the imperial court to send troops to reinforce the Tumu Fort. Darling, I suddenly understood, as long as I buckle this letter, don't give you reinforcements for the civil fort, and let you be surrounded to death by the Tartars, it will be all right. The hatred in my heart, Zhao Yi, our family will let you Died at the hands of the Manchus, Eunuch Wei is really tall!

Thinking of this, Zeng Zhicheng became excited, and the blood from his forehead flowed faster, dripping down the tip of his nose onto the ground. At this moment, Zeng Zhicheng's mind was in a daze, and he said in a daze, "Nine thousand nine hundred years old grandpa. , then this booklet..."

The old eunuch looked at Zeng Zhicheng sarcastically, and said, "What papers? Our family doesn't know." After speaking, he took another sip of the fragrant tea on the desk and said, "Okay, our family is old, so we approved these papers , I am tired too, you should step back first, and remember to bandage your head when you go back." After speaking, he waved his hand and leaned back on the chair without looking at Zeng Zhicheng again.

Zeng Zhicheng looked flattered, and hurriedly said: "The [-]-year-old grandfather, please rest, the old slave is gone." Seeing that Wei Zhongxian didn't answer, he slowly retreated.

The civil fortress, the army stationed in the school grounds
Zhao Yi looked around. Thousands of cavalrymen were looking at him for a moment. Looking at these soldiers, they were full of energy and full of might. It seemed that Zhang Fengnian and his gang did a lot of ideological work last night. Zhao Yi was satisfied. He nodded, turned around and asked like Niu Yong: "Have the firearms brought by Datong and the food and grass I prepared have been distributed?"

"My lord, it's all been distributed. No one is equipped with double lead pellets, live ammunition and gunpowder. Each person is also distributed five days of dry food, and everyone is also distributed with beef." Niu Yong nodded.

"Very good, shall I let you get something from Wujiling?" Zhao Yi asked again.

"It's been brought back."

"That's good, let the brothers below replace it, and bring the ten Franco cannons this time."

Niu Yong nodded, ran to the front of the school field, and shouted in a rough voice: "Master Zhao has an order, the vanguard army will change their clothes!" Produced hundreds of sets of clothes for soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

The soldiers took obedience as their bounden duty. Seeing General Zhao give the order, hundreds of soldiers in the vanguard quickly put on the armor of the Tartars.

After seeing that the people below had been replaced, Zhao Yi gave Niu Yong a wink, and Niu Yong shouted knowingly: "All soldiers obey the order and set off!!!."

Thousands of people heard the order, got on their horses in unison, and ran towards the city gate in an orderly manner.

*********
Matsuyama Castle, gate
Liu Si of the Green Battalion is already Niu Lu. It stands to reason that if he becomes Niu Lu, he will not have to be on duty at the city gate, but Liu Si has a good plan in mind, and he comes to the city gate every day on duty.

It was the same today, although when I got up from my concubine's bed in the morning, my eyelids twitched inexplicably, but Liu Si still came, and my concubine urged me to ask for money, although I was reluctant to come out, but Liu Si still Come, check these common people every day, and you can extort money. How could Liu Si miss this great opportunity.

Daily boring inspections, inspections, and inspections have long worn out the patience of these green battalion soldiers, standing feebly under the city gate one by one. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty dared to come to Songshan City?Last time, the 10,000+ army was completely defeated by our warriors from the Qing Dynasty. The higher-ups must have been too cautious. They held their spears in vain, and they didn’t know where they were going.

Suddenly, he saw a carriage full of goods coming slowly in the distance. Before a few of his subordinates stepped forward to ask, Liu Si walked over slowly. When the several subordinates saw Zhao Niulu approaching, Immediately understood that it was my lord who was going to extort money, each of them drooped their heads, listlessly returned to their original positions and continued to check the post.

"Stop, stop" Liu Si shouted loudly, if he didn't get his money back today, he was afraid that his delicate mistress would not let him go to bed, so he shook his head a little irritated.

"Where did you come from? What's on the car?" Liu Si said to a few boys driving the car in official language. Liu Si was already familiar with blackmailing some honest businessmen.

"My lord, we came from Tumubao, and the car was full of Fanbang wine that nobles and adults like." A boy in the lead replied swiftly.

"Wine" Liu Si's eyes lit up. This wine has only recently become popular in the circle of nobles. A bottle needs a lot of money. I am not lucky to enjoy it as a small city guard. Today is not as good as...Thinking of this, Liu Si put on a sinister smile.

"Come to do business? I think you are the spies of the Ming Dynasty, right? Brothers, take it down for me," Liu Si said with a sneer, and was about to greet his subordinates.

"My lord, we are honest businessmen. You take this one. The young ones invite the adults to drink tea. This bottle of wine is considered small for you to try." A ten tael of silver was stuffed into Liu Si's hand, and a bottle of wine was taken out of the carriage and given to Liu Si.

"Well, you guys are a lesson to be taught. It seems that you are not some treacherous and evil people. Go in!" Liu Si's wish was fulfilled, and the money was also in hand. Even the wine that he could not afford on weekdays was coming. Today When he went back, that little hoof would definitely be obedient. Thinking of this, Liu Si didn't even want to look at the carriage again. He greeted the men behind him, and the carriage was let go.

After entering the city, the carriage didn't stop at all, and went straight to a secluded corner near the city gate. After confirming that no one was following, the leader took off his hat and saw that it was none other than General Zhao. Yi.

Zhao Yi cleared his throat and said, "Let's find a restaurant to have something to eat first, and when the big troops arrive, we will start working in the dark, and take care of the things in the car."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi and several soldiers drove the carriage straight to the restaurant!

 The writing is slow, I hope everyone can understand, after all, I am a novice, but I promise not to stop updating!Sorry again!
