Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

Hong Chen was glared at by the pair of copper bell-like giant eyes, and his whole body trembled. His mind suddenly fell into a stagnation. He heard the monster saying a few incomprehensible jokes to his companions behind him, which attracted a burst of laughter. Then he came straight towards him. Seeing that the monster was walking around with empty hands and was very arrogant and did not draw the weapon at his waist, Hong Chen secretly calmed down and waited for the monster to get close. He calculated the timing and raised his hand to swing the stone. He did not ask for this blow to kill the monster, but only hoped to win a prize before he could go to the underworld with peace of mind, so as not to become an unjustly dead ghost and have a hard time reincarnating.

Mang Gurtai suddenly laughed, tilted his head slightly to avoid the attack, and grabbed Hong Chen's head with his right hand, spinning with one hand. Hong Chen's body turned in the air, and his chest and head fell heavily to the ground with a "puff". This made him unable to get up, and he vomited blood. It was unknown whether it was blood from ruptured organs or blood from knocked out teeth.

There was a round of applause around, and the soldiers and generals of the Eastern Tartars gathered around to watch this good show and support their leader.

Dealing with these fearless and courageous southerners, simply killing them is not satisfying and seems petty. The masters of the Eastern Tartars all have their own signature methods. For example, the Khan Huang Taiji, who regarded himself as a Confucian general, disdained crude iron objects and especially liked elegant tools, such as the giant bow unique to the Eastern Tartars. He used the bow tip without the string, tied the bow halfway, and hit the back and ribs of these fearless southerners. With just one strike, their tail vertebrae could be crushed. These fearless southerners could not die for a while, and their bodies twitched in pain. He After they lay down, their wounds touched the ground. If they moved a little, they would wail heartbreakingly. The more pain they felt, the more they twitched. However, their tail vertebrae were broken and they could not turn over. They could only hope to die quickly in despair. Usually at this time, Huang Taiji would be very kind to drink tea and appreciate his masterpiece. His masterpieces often made him speechless after half an hour of pain, and cold sweat covered the ground. Huang Taiji was very kind. When he was interested, he would order people to feed him water and food. If he could die after a day of pain under careful care, he would be very happy and get a piece of cemetery to show his kindness.

Mang Gurtai was of course not so kind. He was a rough man and could not think of such a trick. He knelt on one knee, pressed his knee on the waist of this fearless southerner, clamped the shoulders of this fearless southerner with his two huge hands, and twisted Hong Chen several times like twisting a twist, until he heard a "click" from the depths of his soul.

His method was extremely straightforward. Although the death was horrific, with feces and urine mixed with stomach fluid pouring out of his mouth and nose, which was very inelegant, Hong Chen at least died cleanly, so Hong Chen was very lucky.

According to the military plan before the war, Manggurtai had to rush to the Dalinghe Weicheng and besiege it, waiting for Huang Taiji to arrive with his army. However, the Ming army under the city just now relied on their heavy armor to fight with them in the field. In order to catch them off guard, Manggurtai rushed to Dalinghe before the Ming army scouts and ordered the entire army to remove the armor plates of their cotton armor. Therefore, the Donghu vanguard horses looked majestic, but in fact they were just paper tigers.

It was unwise to use unarmored cavalry to charge the strict heavy armor infantry formation, so Manggurtai had to lead his army to bypass, although he had gained countless gains, he was not happy in his heart, thinking that he had lost face. So he ordered to continue the raid to the south, hoping to sweep everything in the wilderness before the Ming army's scouts had time to spread the military information.

When Huang Taiji personally led the army to Daling River, he only saw Manggurtai's army and horses holding a few heads, and the captives who were crowded and unable to move on the open ground, all of whom were frozen to black. There were also rows of neatly arranged carriages nearby, with various items on the carriages, but they were mainly food and charcoal. These convoys that came from thousands of miles away from the interior of the country were now all in the hands of the enemy.

Huang Taiji asked: "How many remnants are there in the city."

"It is estimated to be two thousand." Manggurtai replied.

"I asked how many soldiers there are in the city, not how many people there are in the city." Huang Taiji's face gradually became unhappy.

"The two thousand men of Zu Dashou are in the city."

"So, the two thousand men of Zu Dashou are still there." Huang Taiji's face was ashen, like a green snake that was about to bite someone.

"There is no way. They set up camp by the river. My troops had to slow down when crossing the river on ice. When we rushed to them, they had already formed a battle formation. I thought that Nan Gou had so many craftsmen and civilians under the city of Dalinghe that they would rush to the camp. I didn't expect that Zu Dashou would dare to block them on the north side."

"That's enough. You missed the opportunity to fight. What crime should you be punished for?" Huang Taiji shouted angrily.

"Hmph, what crime have I committed? I worked hard to clean up all the southern barbarians within a radius of 50 miles. These cars and the property on them are enough for us to squander for two years. I have made contributions."

"You are guilty of not knowing the severity of the crime. These people outside the city are just civilians. No matter how many are killed or captured, what's the use? The two thousand standard camps of Zu Dashou in that city are almost intact. You deserve to die. With these two thousand, how many warriors will my Great Jin lose under this city." Huang Taiji's veins almost burst.

"Now that things have come to this, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, I have a clear conscience. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard." Manggurtai was reprimanded and felt guilty, but he still insisted.

"Military law is ruthless. Come on, drag him out and behead him." Huang Taiji's words shocked everyone. Who would have thought that Manggurtai, a dignified prince, would actually die for such a trivial matter.

Mang Gurtai was stunned. He didn't come to his senses for a while, and only murmured: "You want to kill me, you want to kill me, why?"

He looked at the Donglu generals behind him and found something strange. All these princes of Duo Beile were present, but no one pleaded for him. This made him feel that something was wrong, because everyone present had a grudge against him, but those who were friends with him were not present. This was obviously a deliberate arrangement.

"You have discussed it well, set a trap for me, and wanted to kill me. I don't accept it, I don't accept it." Manggurtai struggled in anger, but Huang Taiji's personal soldiers were also strong. They held down the beast and chopped it down with a knife. Manggurtai died very easily here. Not far away, there was a corpse that he had twisted into a dough stick three days ago. Under the yellow sun and clouds, they supported each other.

Mongolian grassThe cold wind on the plain was a hundred times more fierce, but Lin Changxing's heart was hot and he could not restrain himself. He accidentally got a divine artifact, the imperial seal of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. However, this imperial seal was not the one handed down by Qin Shihuang, but another one made by the Mongols after they won the world. It was engraved with the eight characters "The emperor is selfless and the world is perfect". When the Shenjia Camp was counting the battlefield, a soldier saw its extraordinaryness at a glance, because it used rare jasper stone, and presented it to Zhao Xiao for review. Zhao Xiao was a warrior and just thought it was a good thing, but the rules of the Shenjia Camp were different from those of other Ming troops. All spoils of war were handed over to the secretary for distribution. Although he liked this jade material, he could not exceed his authority, so he asked the soldiers to take it to the secretary Lin Changxing for review.

Almost at the same time as he saw this tourmaline, Lin Changxing jumped up, and he shouted in his heart: This is the imperial seal. Because it is too big. The seals used by the people nowadays are only the size of a finger, and the official seals are the size of a baby's fist. This seal is bigger than the official seal, and it is full of it. Isn't it the emperor's seal?

And then he thought again, isn't Lin Danhan the Great Khan of the Mongols? It is reasonable to find the imperial seal in the place where he died.

He held the seal with trembling hands and lifted it up. He looked at the words on the seal and was amazed at his luck. The words "Son of Heaven" were clearly on it, which was absolutely correct.

According to the system of the Shenjia Camp, the secretary is responsible for the internal affairs, and the military commander is responsible for the external affairs. The spoils of war and military pay must be handled by the secretary before they can be distributed. The military pay has a fixed amount, and it is easy to detect the deduction. Wang Pu has never been merciful to the embezzlement of military pay. The predecessors of the secretary have already stepped on the mine. This way of deducting military pay is extremely dangerous, and several people have lost their lives in vain. However, it is easy to manipulate the spoils of war, because only those who handled them know the exact amount, and outsiders have no way of knowing it. In addition, there are spoils of war only after a great victory, and the superiors don't want to let the meritorious soldiers down for such a small matter. As long as it is not excessive, the superiors will turn a blind eye.

Lin Changxing's palms were sweating, and he suddenly put the jade seal into his arms. He didn't know if others saw this action, and didn't know if there were any spies from the superiors. He thought: This jade seal is too big, and the robe is too tight, but no one will do so much. I will be better to my subordinates in the future. Besides, if I take it, others will follow suit. I will also keep an eye on them. I won't be afraid if we have handles on each other.

Getting the imperial seal is not a fun thing. If someone reports it, the emperor and Wang Pu will be furious. He wondered what to do next. Should he present the imperial seal to the court? No, that would only make him a minor official, not necessarily as high as the one he holds now. And if that happened, he would have an irreconcilable feud with Wang Pu. With the power of Wang Pu and the Donglin Party, he would not have a good ending even if he got the official position. But he was unwilling to give the imperial seal to Wang Pu. Wang Pu was obviously a mediocre person, and he could only be successful and famous now because of his reincarnation skills. He asked himself that he was a hundred times better than Wang Pu in everything, so should he be bullied by this mediocre person?

“Wang Pu obviously treated me badly. He was jealous of my ability and sent me awayTo this remote and cold place. "Lin Changxing secretly swore in his heart: "How can I humiliate myself and work for this mediocre man. Wang Pu was almost defeated several times, once in the Jiangxin Island of Jizhou, and once in Xianghe Ping Zhang Wei. It was Wang Pu's incompetence and ignorance that put him in a desperate situation. He escaped by luck. A mediocre man like him can succeed. God is blind. I obviously have greater abilities, why can't I start my own business. "

When he thought about how powerful the Shenjia Camp was, and Wang Pu was just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his hard work for more than two years, his heart was about to explode. Thinking: "I have made so many contributions, and you treat me like this, then you can't blame me. ”

Zhao Xiao came to find Lin Changxing and told him about what happened today. There was a female leader of a Mongolian tribe, who seemed to be the daughter of a Wanhu, named Qiqige. She came to join the Shenjia Camp and presented this backpack.

“This is a special leather bag used by scouts.” Lin Changxing recognized it at a glance. Because scouts have been riding horses for months, in order to reduce weight, the tools they need are specially made, which are much smaller and more delicate than those of ordinary soldiers. The grids and shapes of their backpacks are different from ordinary ones. Looking at the number on it, he asked, "Whose is this."

“The name is Han Chengyu, and he has been missing for ten days.” Zhao Xiao had already used this number to check the scout list, and then said.

“Then he is dead. "Lin Changxing said, in order to be light and waterproof, this backpack uses the first layer of cowhide leather, which is not cheap. It is written in the combat regulations of scouts that this backpack can only be abandoned when being chased and in a critical situation.

"It should be dead, but Qiqige seems to know the whereabouts of this group of thieves. She said she can take us there." Zhao Xiao said: "I plan to go and take a look, you stay and continue to build the mountain city." .

"Such a small matter, why bother you to come forward, just send a sentry leader. "Lin Changxing rolled his eyes. He thought Zhao Xiao was making a big fuss. This is the grassland, and there are all kinds of monsters. A scout was accidentally killed. It was just a trivial matter. Besides, if Zhao Xiao was not there, he would be very busy.

"Hiss, no, this Qiqige seems to have a background. I plan to take the opportunity to get close to her. The grassland is so vast. It is not easy for us to go alone. We have to find an ally. It is rare to have a tribe willing to surrender to us. We should win them over." Zhao Xiao shook his head and thought this was a long-term plan.

"Haha, are you attracted to her? Humph, Tartar women will not be faithful to you." Lin Changxing laughed.

"Don't worry about this. "Zhao Xiao is indeed unmarried. He is used to being wild. When he saw Liu Yishan marry a rich man's daughter, she was beautiful, but the family was like a firecracker workshop from then on, with no peace for a moment, he was afraid. Now the identities of the officers in the Shenjia Camp are quite embarrassing, because they were originally small families who rose to prominence in an instant. The officials looked down on nouveau riche like them, and they looked down on ordinary people. They could only look for wealthy merchants with money but no status. However, the girls of this background are so cunning and calculating, and they are not the province.Liu Yishan's wife is like that. Zhao Xiao thinks that Liu Yishan will have trouble sooner or later if he finds such a wife and stays away from home for a long time, so he takes it as a warning and dares not to make a marriage proposal easily.

"The leader of the 3,000-man team is about to be decided. Who do you plan to recommend?" Lin Changxing asked.

"I don't recommend." Zhao Xiao shook his head.

"You are a veteran with illustrious military exploits. Wang Yan should ask you about this matter. Isn't it?" Lin Changxing asked.

Zhao Xiao looked at Lin Changxing in surprise, feeling that there was something wrong with this guy today. Why is he so sour and dares to call Wang Yan's name directly? You know, Miss Wang Yan is now powerful, and all the affairs of the Shenjia Camp are in her hands.

"Miss Wang Yan has her own ideas, it's not my turn to worry about it." Zhao Xiao didn't dare to say more. As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth. Lin Changxing is too presumptuous. It's no good to get close to him.

After Lin Changxing snorted coldly and walked away with his hands behind his back. Zhao Xiao asked the clerk of the Centurion Team next to him, "What happened to your boss today?"

"Haha, I got a treasure, I'm happy." The clerk of the Centurion Team nodded in a mysterious way.

"Hmm? That's it." Zhao Xiao heard that this was a piece of spoils of war that was embezzled. He thought, yes, someone came to offer treasures today and showed him a seal, saying that it was found next to Lin Dan Khan's body. The seal next to Lin Dan Khan's body? Zhao Xiao suddenly realized that this should be the Khan's seal. But Zhao Xiao was a rough man, he had never read books, so he didn't know that Lin Dan Khan was Genghis Khan, and his seal was the imperial seal of the Yuan court. He just thought that Lin Changxing was so bold that he dared to covet such a treasure.

Should I report him? If I don't report him, will I be implicated if he gets into trouble in the future? If he reported it, it would easily give Miss Wang Yan the impression of a villain. Zhao Xiao was caught in a dilemma.
