Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

Ten steps wide is Wang Pu's bottom line, and he finally couldn't help it. Dorgon laughed.

"The concentration is not bad, this person is

not pedantic, he is a difficult person. Mang Gurtai bowed.

"But it's not smart. Huang Taiji said triumphantly: "He exposed the sharp weapons of catapults and explosives bags prematurely and learned them for us." "

"Haha, yes, I should have rewarded this idiot for that. Dorgon laughed and agreed.

"The difficulty now is how to wade through this last ten-pace-wide stretch of the river. Huang Taiji frowned and said, "I came up with an idea to fill our boats with stones and sink them in the river and pile them up into a road." "

"The Great Khan's wisdom is unsurpassed. All the ministers proclaimed in unison.

"Great Khan, the scouts have an urgent report. At this time, someone outside the military tent reported it.

Huang Taiji was quite surprised, it was almost dusk at this time, and the scouts were going to recover, would there be an enemy situation for more than ten miles around, and Nanban could still have a bolder thorn than the Shenjia battalion, and he dared to come up and pick up the tiger's beard.

"Call him in. "

"Concerning the Great Khan, fifteen miles upstream of the river there is a large amount of timber flowing downstream. "

The monarchs and ministers in the military tent looked at each other in shock, but they still slapped their thighs and said angrily: "Nangou is so cunning, he was plotted without paying attention." "

"Shut up, carving insect skills, why worry about it. Huang Taiji was on the rise, but he was hit by a basin of cold water, and suddenly a displeased look hung on his face, and he reprimanded angrily.

"I'm to blame for that. Mang Gurtai was angry and muttered in a low voice, which no one else could hear.

Thousands of pieces of wood drifted so fast, Huang Taiji climbed the lookout, and as far as the eye could see, he saw that the river surface was clearly showing two different colors. The pale yellow surface of the river is gradually being swallowed up by the blue-gray surface of the river, and the entire section of blue-gray is freshly cut wood. Thinking that someone dared to do ghosts behind his back and harm his own good deeds, Huang Taiji's face was blue and angry.

Wang Pu was stunned by the scene in front of him, and actually floated down countless pieces of wood from the upstream, inexplicably very moved, and secretly had the help of nobles, which was really a carbon in the snow.

Before he could think about it, he hurriedly ordered all teams and battalions to try their best to take ropes and tie them to their bodies, and jump into the river to fish for passing wood. But the soldiers of the Shenjia Battalion are all northerners, and they are not good at swimming, not to mention that the soldiers with good water skills have all been selected and assigned to the sailor camp and arranged on Song Yang's sea boat, and now there are not enough people who can come in handy.

The soldiers who knew how to water were all rotated, shivering on the shore, holding a bowl and drinking hot soup, and could no longer go into the water. These soldiers are Wang Pu's flesh and head, and he is reluctant to force these loyal and sincere men to go into the water, in case he colds his heart and lungs, and it is difficult to explain to his family when he turns back from illness. If they die in battle, no one has anything to say, after all, there are no eyes on the battlefield, but the cold weather forced them to jump into the river, if they died, it would be difficult not to be resented, and it was taboo to be a commander in the army and not take the lives of soldiers seriously.

Fortunately, there were more than 2,300 civilians on the island, all of whom swam from the other side, and there was no doubt that they would be able to swim in the water, and they would not feel distressed when they died.

The number of civilians on the

island in the first group is nearly 1,900, and the number of civilians on the island in the second group is only about 400. And Wang Putu saved trouble, and simply granted the power of food distribution to a few civilians who seemed simple, but these powerful civilians were the first batch of people to go to the island, and it was inevitable that they would secretly do something to the newcomer.

The food was

already insufficient, and the food that Ji Beiming got was even more lacking, and he lost weight in a few days, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to consume it for a long time. If you want to survive, you can only fight, this time to salvage timber, sure enough, the newcomers are all arranged in the southernmost corner of the island. Timber comes from the north along the river, and the buildings near the water get the moon first, and the timber that is easy to catch in front of them will be taken first, and their position has to swim far to catch the timber.

Ji Beiming took the lead in standing up and took five ropes to hang on his shoulders, and the person who divided the ropes glanced at him and kindly reminded: "Don't be reckless, this water can freeze you to death." "

"I know. Ji Minghun replied indifferently, and then went to the side to weave a net with a rope, and the person who divided the rope was angry, stepped forward and kicked it, and scolded: "The dog killed Cai, I didn't ask you to weave a net, don't do a lot of things." "

"Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, don't be angry, and besides, there are too many ropes, not bad for these ones. Ji Beiming still defended himself.

He quickly knitted the rope into a net, and went to find the official with it, and sure enough, it caused a crowd of people, and the attention of others, a clerk stepped forward to ask a few words, and listened to Ji Mingming's idea, thinking that it was feasible, and ordered someone to take him to find a boat, and the Shenjia battalion had five small fishing boats in his hand at this time, so small that it was almost a canoe.

Everyone worked together to push the boat down the river, and Ji Ming's net was still unfinished, and there was still a large section of rope at the edge, like a Wang Ba with a slender head, tail and limbs. He took a few stones of the right shape and tied them one by one to the end of the rope that branched out at the edge of the net.

took such a broken net and set off, and the boat went to the center of the river, and Ji Beiming recognized a piece of wood and waved his arm to cast the net over. The stone at the end of the rope sank into the water, and the wood was firmly covered, and at the other end of the net was a long rope that was connected to the shore, and the shore man pulled the rope with great effort, and the wood was pulled over. The cheers of the crowd resounded, this method does not need to go into the water, and the harvest is more abundant.

Encouraged by this, Ji Beiming weaved three more nets, and others followed his method to net a lot of wood, which can be said to have made a contribution. The river was turbulent, and although there were many timbers, it didn't take long for all of them to drift away, disappear into the dim sky, and the surface of the river returned to its old appearance.

Counted

overnight, got one hundred and sixty fine pine wood, as long as it is dried can be used as firewood, roughly calculated, with the current firewood barely consumed until the spring equinox, Wang Pu learned the good news and smiled from ear to ear.

"This little brother, you know how to weave nets, why don't you show your skills earlier, if you use this net to catch fish. Wang Pu complained to Ji Beiming.

"Back to Dashuai, Xiaomin said, don't be angry, this kind of hemp rope is not suitable for tying into fishing nets, it is too thick, and second, it absorbs water, and it is too heavy, and this kind of net does not have that strength. Ji Beiming said with a smile.

"So that's the case, just tell the truth, and the official won't be angry. Now that everyone is in the same boat, we must unite as one to tide over the difficulties together. If you have made meritorious service, you will be rewarded for your merit, and it is not appropriate to give you silver, we are trapped on the island, and silver will only be a burden. What reward do you want? "

"The villain, the villain wants to work for the adult. Ji Beiming's eyes lit up, thinking that he had made up his mind, and replied tremblingly.

"You don't know how to fight, I can't use my service for the time being, I think you are very smart, those people will be handed over to you to settle, you will be their head. Wang Pu was in a happy mood today, so he simply outsourced more than 2,000 civilians on the island to this young man with ideas.

"Yes, the little people will live up to the trust of the adults. Hearing this, Ji Beiming was ecstatic in his heart, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. He was a small carpenter, and his status was humble, and he never imagined that he would have such an adventure today, and gain power above more than 2,000 people.

After sending Ji Beiming away, Lin Changxing was a little surprised, and said: "This person is not an honest person at first glance, he belongs to the generation of the Xinrui drill camp, how can he use it." "More than 2,000 people on the island were originally under his shepherdship, and now Wang Pu has granted this right to outsiders, is it out of favor?

"Use it for a while, and if you can't use it, let's talk about it. Wang Pu said with a smile, there are still some deficiencies in talents, and it is very necessary to discover and cultivate new talents.

The

army of King Qin, mobilized by the Ming Dynasty from the south, was assembled in Baoding and Cangzhou in early January, only two or three hundred miles away from the Beijing Division, but they did not move, or repeatedly moved sideways. It seems to take the army of captives as the center of the circle, and draw an arc with a radius of two hundred miles.

Until the emperor Sun Chengzong was ordered to worship as the governor of Jiliao, and control the reinforcements of the king of Qin. He personally sat on the front line and set up his line in Tongzhou, which was only 50 miles away from Jizhou.

Encouraged by him, the generals regained their confidence, reluctantly approached the captives for dozens of miles, fought a few small battles, and won quite a lot.

On 3 February, Sun Chengzong received a military intelligence report from Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, saying that the old man of Kou was useless, and he could not attack Wang Pu's troops for a long time, and his morale was frustrated. Recently, a large number of captives have been dismissed, and it is suspected that there is an attempt to flee and return to the north.

When he was

over the age of old, he couldn't help but be shocked when he read the Chen note, so he ordered to urgently summon the generals.

The armor in the lobby is bright and bright, a dry guerrilla, the generals are lined up in an orderly manner, and I saw Inspector Sun walking quickly into the lobby, bowing and sitting on the top, all of them saluted with brushes.

Sun Chengzong is a person who has experienced and is refreshing, and he doesn't like red tape, so he waved his hand and said, "Sit down, please sit down." "

"Master Xie. The generals returned to their seats.

"Chengzong was edicted to use, His Majesty saw in the Golden Pavilion, discussed the defense of the Beijing Division, the Holy Lord asked how to kill the Kou, the minister replied to dispatch reinforcements, chased back the defeated generals, the important town of mountains and seas, attacked and harassed the enemy, forced the enemy to go out of the fortress, recovered the four towns, and then rectified Guanning. These words sound sonorous and powerful, hey, in fact, it is easier said than done, the eastern captives are in the Kou, the officials and soldiers are weak in defense of capture, Gyeonggi has been eroded in a few months, and the innocent victims are innumerable, I am ashamed of the people, but I can't blame the soldiers, the court is strapped for money, and the food and salary are in arrears for a long time, you have difficulties, they all say that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, and the official has 70,000 taels of silver in his hand. "

As soon as I heard that there was silver, there was a murmur below. These generals are not necessarily corrupt officials, and their subordinates are all waiting for a salary to be sent home to buy rice for their mother-in-law and children.

"Five days ago, the Yanmen guerrilla Wang Pu sent a letter asking for help, although he was deeply encircled, he was still able to send the letter out, it can be seen that what he said is true, the captives may not adapt to the water and soil, and they have shown a state of exhaustion. Sun Chengzong waved his hand and ordered his servants to distribute the pre-copied documents. The generals opened it, only to see that it was written on it, Huang Taiji Qian's donkey skills are poor, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and so on. Everyone smiled, this kid hasn't burped yet, so it's so hard. However, at the end of the strong crossbow, Yunyun was not credible at all, and Wang Pu was talking nonsense, hoping to give him a funeral. None of you here are ignorant children, where will they be tricked.

Seeing that no one answered, Sun Chengzong sighed lightly and said, "Four days ago, Wang Pu sent another good news. Words have been killed, and the blood of the thieves has flowed like a river. Then he waved his hand and ordered the servant to send down the copied paperwork. All the generals sneered in their hearts, and their stomachs were slandered, if you want to die, you kid will die, but he lied for no reason, he wanted to kill us, and he was buried with your kid, and his heart was really hateful.

"Three days ago, Wang Pu's military report, Yan Dongyu laid down a fire and thunder array, and used trebuchets to throw countless fire and thunder on the island, and the soldiers were killed and injured quite heavily. After that, Sun Chengzong patted his thigh happily, and he could feel that the danger and desperation contained in this text were imminent.

The generals present all frowned and read the text carefully, what is the fire and thunder in this military report, and how to crack this fire and thunder array if they encounter it in the future.

"Yesterday, he sent someone to send me fifteen Dongyu heads, and after inspection, there was no doubt about the authenticity. Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly: "I waited for ten battalions, and hundreds of thousands of troops were not as good as his Wang Pu, a little ghost head, and his military achievements were outstanding, why do you say this." "

The generals looked at each other and were speechless.

Ma Shilong, the military premier of King Qin, took the opportunity to say: "Master Hui, this is Wang Pu's newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and dares to meet the enemy, so that he can have a rich harvest. "

Sun Chengzong and Ma Shilong sang and harmonized, leaving these words discussed in advance, although the generals slandered: young people do not know the sinister, and sooner or later they will die. But at this time, these words of weakness dare not be said nonsense, lest they be included in a book and fall into the responsibility of fearing the enemy.

"Wang Pu is still comfortable in the encirclement, and he has made many gains, which shows that the captives or the water and soil are not adaptable, or they are lax and light the enemy, and they are no longer what they used to be. "

"What your lord said is extremely true, Huang Taiji has committed a taboo in the army, and the enemy will be defeated. Ma Shilong took over and said.

When the generals heard this, their

hearts swayed, and they all thought: "Yes, the first two military reports sent by Wang Pu are pure, and they must not be the truth, but the military report three days ago is detailed, and it should not be false, but even if the captives are scheming, they are helpless against Wang Pu, it can be seen that Huang Taiji is already anxious, and at this time he can attack and bite him. "
