Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"What else do you want to lure Wang Pu in, ambush people and horses to kill, this secret thief of King Zhou is pestle on the door of the head, even the king of Zhou, the outsiders who can't beat the eight poles, can touch the secrets of the Wang family, Wang Pu is a strong general who leads the troops to fight, can he not make good use of soldiers, do not know how to use fine work, he is still out of the house, a few grasses at home are broken, if he wants to know, he can't hide it. Sure enough, the eldest nephew was whimsical. "The second uncle Wang Sheng originally disapproved of his nephew Wang Qin's bad idea, the Wang family is now in turmoil, in danger, his own family does not hold together, but also self-deceit, so he entrusts his life to the emperor's benevolence, which is too dangerous, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable. "No, killing Wang Pu is a stinky move, and there is no need to rush to kill yourself, Wang Pu has a lot of capable people, how can he easily fall for it. "And if you succeed, there is no benefit, the emperor will forgive the Wang family after Wang Pu dies and has no worries, it seems that he is not a tolerant person today.

"Send someone to inform Wang Pu and tell him about Wang Qin's calculations. It's not right, this will scare Wang Pu away, the Wang family treats him like this, and he refuses to come to save us. Still, I'll get rid of my nephew. Wang Shengwei was born from the side of his guts, and thought fiercely: "Brother, your eldest son is too stupid, sooner or later he will spoil the survival of the Wang family, and I am also for the Wang family." "

From Yanmen Pass to Qizhou is the old road that Wang Pu walked a year and a half ago, and he is familiar with it. It's just that things are wrong, and those gentry forts are closed closely, even if the officers and soldiers pass by, they don't dare to open the door to greet them easily, but they just use the drawbridge to hang down a little soft silver money, which can be regarded as a donation to the thieves of the Shenjia battalion. As for the flat-headed people outside the dock fort, it was the purgatory of the world, Wang Pu saw the hungry ghosts who openly ate human flesh on the side of the road, they raised their heads and glanced at the people of the Shenjia Battalion, but they were indifferent, neither fleeing, nor scolding angrily with weapons. It was as if the atrocity of cannibalism in front of him did not violate the laws of the king, but was a daily trivial matter of peace of mind. What's more, they have long been numb, the officials and soldiers are coming, they will kill if they want to, they don't care anymore.

Wang Pu immediately bowed deeply to them, as the chief soldier of Datong, this area is his defense area, these people are so miserable, who is to blame, he can't say, just a little guilty.

"I'm an incompetent person, if I were a hero, I would have driven the world away at this time, and I have thousands of elite soldiers in my hands, but no one can save them. Wang Pu smiled bitterly and said: "On the contrary, he killed countless poor people who couldn't survive and rose up." "

"Troubled times are coming. Wang Zong muttered, he is Wang Pu's former captain of the army, after Wang Pu was expelled from the house by the Wang family, Wang Zong and many Wang family members turned their backs on Wang Pu and returned to the Wang family, but Wang Zong then led an errand to escort his wife, and lost his hand on the way, so that Wang Pu's biological mother was held hostage by the East Captive, he was afraid of crime and had nowhere to go, so he had to stay in Yanmen Pass to be a physical education teacher, Wang Pu came out this time, in addition to going to Qizhou to save the Wang family, accumulating a reputation for loyalty and filial piety, he was also ready to join Xing Hongniang, and mixed into the camp of the thief army for a while Li Zicheng, if possible, he also wanted to help Li Zicheng attack the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, so that this troubled era ended as soon as possible。

This time he needed to wade into danger on the rivers and lakes, so Wang Pu tried his best to bring Wang Zong, a martial arts master, as a personal guard, only to say that it might be of some use. Wang Zong wears a sinful body, and can still be reused, he is grateful to Dade, and he has worked very hard along the way, following Wang Pu inseparably, and the friendship between the two has warmed up a lot.

"This is the real troubled times, I didn't think it would be so terrible. Wang Pu's heart palpitated, he always had nightmares at night, too many white bones in his eyes, and set up a pot into a hell, one after another, endlessly, and the smell of oil was everywhere in the air, making people suffocate and vomit all day long.

"Fortunately, it's winter, and there are no bugs yet. "

"No, there's no reason to say that, bastard. Wang Pu scolded angrily, not daring to think about it anymore.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the ghostly official road, fortunately, I ran into a caravan, all with knives and guns, arrows and feathers on their backs, waist and strong bows, and the people at the head of the company had short hair, especially the sharp eyes, which were very majestic, and when they saw the banner of the Shenjia battalion, they came up to greet him, claiming that their surname was He, and they were the franchise of the king of tribute. Although it is a troubled time, this kind of caravan for the clan is still unabated, Wang Pu is also used to it, listen to him along the way, he agreed to go along, on the way to inquire and know, their caravan is to send tribute otter skin on behalf of the king, winter is coming, although make fur clothing for the nobles to keep warm. Qinghai is cold and bad, the water quality is clear, the local otter is a different species, the skin is soft and lush, the upper body is close, and the water and wind can be removed.

Wang

Pu heard about this baby, and thought that this trip back to Wang's house was to see the elders, and he should bring some gifts, so he asked He Fatzi to share some otter skins with him, He Fatzi refused, and said with a smile: "These otter skins are purchased from Qianghu Village in Qinghai, and many people died during the period, but they can't be given to others." "

Wang Pu was not happy in his heart, this guy was too faceless, and he felt that he couldn't give out good gifts when he saw his elders, which was embarrassing. Looking at the fat man surnamed He, his eyes were not good.

The fat man surnamed He had a sudden slap in his heart, he knew that the generals were all ruthless demon kings of the mixed world, especially this Shenjia battalion, but he was confident that he had the royal token in his hand, and here was a familiar official road, and his line of people was concerned about the defense of the text, and the words were detailed, if Wang Pu dared to have a bad heart, he would definitely not be able to escape the investigation of the imperial court, so he did not need to be afraid of others. Thinking of this, the fat man surnamed He pretended to be casual and said: "I am the one who can speak in front of the prince, and if I get a reward for this trip, I will be able to prepare a dowry for the high-class maids in the palace." His words were quite complacent, and he implied that he was a retainer from the palace for generations, and that he had a daughter who was very powerful.

When Wang Pu heard this, he had no choice but to swallow this breath, he didn't want to openly offend the acting king, and it was not his style to rob the people's property. But seeing that the fat man surnamed He had no one in his eyes, he was arrogant, and he was angry. I thought to myself: The scholars and the clan look down on the warriors, and even you are a slave who dares to be presumptuous in front of me. The more he thought about it, the more he felt unbearable, and in front of everyone's eyes, he endured this great shame and humiliation, how to serve the public in the army in the future.

Wang Pu remembered that there was another bridge fifty miles ahead, so he secretly snorted coldly, and arranged for his own soldiers to inform the nearby steam warships that were covering on the way, and rushed to the front to knock down the bridge.

The fat man surnamed He saw that Wang Pu was no longer entangled, and thought that he was in order to end it, and he followed the Shenjia camp far behind him all the way, and he was happy to be wiped out.

The mountain does not get in the way, the road leads to the bridge, Dong Niangniang and his party carefully passed through the mountain and forest, just breathed a sigh of relief, the guards were about to take off their armor, and it was too tiring to walk in armor. I only heard a loud noise coming from Qiuhua Bridge, everyone hurriedly gathered together, and Dong Niangniang in the group was also frightened, only afraid that she had been ambushed, and howled: "Lord, concubine, concubine will never see you again." "

"Mother, let's retreat to the river and fight with our backs. "The close-fitting maid in gorgeous clothes is a beautiful lady in men's clothes, and she seems to be very favored.

"Good, good. Dong Niangniang was already upset, but nodded again and again.

The guards only said that the thieves were blocking the way, and they put on good leather armor, and they had no fear, and listened to the orders of the maids in gorgeous clothes, and retreated to the river with their mothers. There were scouts who had already explored the way, but in a quarter of an hour of panic, they saw no trace of the enemy from beginning to end, and they were wondering to themselves, and suddenly the scouts who explored the way reported: There are warships in the river, and they have cannons.

"Oh, there's a thief in the river, we can't throw ourselves into the net, up, up the mountain. The maid in Huayi was frightened and hurriedly ordered.

"Oh, Durian, I can't climb the mountain. Dong Niangniang made a mistake in a hurry, and actually leaked her mouth and said the real name of the maid in gorgeous clothes.

"So what to do, oops, it's annoying. Only then did she remember that Aunt Dong was a little foot.

"Niangniang, dare to carry you up the mountain, the mountain here is dangerous, even if the thieves come and thousands of troops and horses, we can guard it for a few days. The leader of the guard said.

"Presumptuous, princess of this palace, how can you let people carry it. Dong Niangniang immediately made a move, took out the dagger given by the king of Zhou, and cried sadly: "I have to die here, you have to bury my body deeper to avoid the humiliation of thieves." "

"Don't, Aunt Dong, you love the most durian, I can't see you cut yourself. "When the lord of the durian clothes came to the rain with pear blossoms, tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Well, I don't want to. Dong Niangniang is bitter, she doesn't want to die, but if the county lord is killed, her mother's family will suffer. She is just a side concubine, but this county lord of durian clothes is the beloved little daughter of the prince, since she was a child, she has been used to it, this county lord worships the white pole army Qin Liangyu, and she has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and she can't stay in the palace, and she has run outside several times to breathe, and the prince has never acquiesced, and he can't bear to punish, and he doesn't want to meet the thief army ambush this time.

"We have horses, don't we cut off our way to go up the mountain, don't go up the mountain, it's useless. The county lord of Durian knew Aunt Dong's concerns, so he changed his mind.

"Yes, is it?" Aunt Dong twisted her eyebrows and wondered, she was just a woman, she didn't know about military affairs, and she didn't know if the county lord's words were right. His eyes wandered towards the leader of the guards.

"That's what the county lord said. "How dare the leader of the guard make a mistake, he can only nod his head in a hurry.

Strangely, when they came to their senses, they found that the ship had neither hoisted its flag nor stopped, and listened to the scout's report that it had flown straight down without a trace.

"Smoke, only two sails but fast not like a mortal thing? Joke, there has never been such a strange ship in this world. The county lord of Duyi only joked, she thought it was an exaggeration by the scouts, but at present, the enemy situation is unknown, everyone is tense, and it is inevitable that the grass and trees will be soldiers, so she will not comment.

"It wasn't for us, but I hated the strange ship from somewhere, but as long as it was safe, I was content. Dong Niangniang shouted the blessing of the Buddha and was much relieved.

"But the bridge was blown up, and we couldn't cross the river. The leader of the guards said.

"You go find a boat nearby, and we'll wait. "The lord of the Durian County forked his waist.

"Yes. I went to the county seat to find someone, but outsiders came, so please be cautious when the county lord arrives. The leader of the guards said worriedly, the crime of leaving the fief without permission of the clan can be big or small, and he can't afford to go wrong.

"I know, you are

annoyed by the noise, you finally came out for a trip, you are like a dog pestering me, I understand your difficulties, don't talk to outsiders, what else do you want. The county lord of Durian was aggrieved and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, fortunately, the county lord not only understood us, but also had the courage to lead us out of danger, otherwise we would have run out of ideas and would not have chosen the way to go. "

"Hmph, I didn't panic just now, after I go back, I'll talk to Brother Eun, what a joke, this is not far from the Yanmen guards, there are actually thieves infested, the so-called invincible Shenjia battalion in the world turns out to be nothing more than that. "

"Yes, how can there be a thief army running here, I should send people to Yanmen, tell them to be on guard, patrol frequently, this section of the road leads to Jingshi, be sure to maintain a smooth flow." Dong Niangniang was frightened for a while, but she still had palpitations.

"Punish him, Aunt Dong, let's go and scold him. "The lord of the durian clothes is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so he instigated.

"Ah, this. Dong Niangniang didn't dare to trespass, so she only said: "The military leader heard that it was rude, and my aunt didn't go." "

"Hmph. The county lord of Durian was angry, but his face changed in an instant, and he exclaimed: "Will the thief army have warships, no." I heard my father mention the emperor's loss of troops, and I mentioned that the thief army and the eastern captives did not have ships, and if they used the moon formation, they could break the enemy, and retreat to defend the pass. "

"Huh?" Dong Niangniang didn't understand these military affairs at all, and only looked at the head of the guard, but the head of the guard was already in a daze, and the emperor lost his troops, who dared to take it. He had no choice but to make promises, and it took a long time before he held back a sentence: "The emperor and the prince are both powerful people, and they have their own clever ideas." "

"It's not a thief warship, whose is it, does our Ming Navy have such a warship? By the way, draw it down, and show it to the prince when you go back. "Although Dong Niangniang doesn't understand the military, but she is a shrewd and capable person, a little muttering also feels strange, first of all, the thief army has no reason to blow up the bridge, and secondly, this road from Yanmen Pass to Qizhou has always been safe, there is a large number of thieves with a surname is currently gathered in Luliang, it is said that it has just been covered by the Shenjia battalion from the north, and it is avoided in the south, and the small group of thieves is afraid of the Wuwei of the Shenjia battalion, and it is only rooted in the west of Qizhou, and there is no courage to go east.

After a while, the scout drew this strange ship, and after some detailed explanation, everyone was amazed, this ship was as square as a brick, and the two sails on it were also unremarkable, only a huge chimney spewed out thick smoke, which suddenly looked particularly strange.
