Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

Sun Chengzong returned to his seat and picked up the teacup casually, seeing that the generals who usually couldn't be touched by thunder were in a crowd at this time, eager to try, he took a sip of tea with a smile, and used his sleeve to cover up and Ma Shilong secretly squeezed his eyebrows, the latter immediately understood, and took a step forward to show Shang Fang's sword.

"The guerrilla Cao Wenzhao of the Zhongqian Institute, Wang Chengyin, the general of Kaiping, Zhang Shujia, the general of Beitang, and Zuo Liangyu, the commander of the right battalion of Liaodong Cheyou, obeyed the order, and ordered you to immediately return to the garrison to check the soldiers and horses, and rush to Wen'an County tomorrow to stand by. "

The generals were ordered to go, but Zuo Liangyu was clever, he secretly came back, and after the military meeting was dispersed, he went to visit Ma Shilong, and asked him about the heads of the captives sent by Wang Pu, saying that he wanted to see these heads with his own eyes, so that he could go back and talk about boosting the morale of the soldiers.

"Then let me be. Ma Shilong is honest, and he didn't doubt him, so he agreed.

Zuo Liangyu had some knowledge, and he recognized at a glance that the more than ten heads were all old things, and it was estimated that they had been removed from his body for several months. He secretly thought to himself, Wang Pu probably still has many Dongyu heads in his hands, which are all sought-after goods.

Tan Huiping is a village girl, who has been in the field to help her family do farm work since she was a child. I don't want this peaceful day to be at the end, and thousands of people were taken captive outside the border and reduced to slavery. The rich and noble lords all moved their families to the south and went south along the canal, and the solid people also went into the nearby county town to hide, only the poor people like Tan Huiping's family couldn't find a place to stand even if they entered the county, so there was no way to escape, only to wait for death.

Fortunately, there are rumors that the captives only plundered the homes of ordinary peasants, not the estates of the gentry. Everyone was skeptical, and there was no choice but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and they went to the manor of the gentry to seek refuge.

It is difficult for the gentry to have a good heart, why should they shelter them, and in desperation, as soon as their family discussed, they sold Tan Huiping at a discount and gave it to the slaves of the Gu family in the manor as daughters-in-law. The steward of the manor then set aside a small room for shelter, and the rumors are true, and the soldiers and horses of the East have passed by the manor several times, but they have gone by themselves, and have never broken in to disturb them. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Zi was glad that he had a way to live.

Miss Gu Jindan came to the manor a few years ago, and when she saw Tan Huiping, she raised her eyebrows, and when she turned around, she and two other village girls were sold into the vegetable market in the city, which was a cannibalistic human purgatory.

A row of cages in the backyard, many people are locked in cages, from time to time there are guests who come in one by one to see the cages, take a

fancy to pull out the people in the cages, put them on the case, the hands and feet and other parts are clearly marked with prices, pay enough money to cut down on the spot, the vegetable people are not dead for a while, begging the guests to bid higher, so that people can die of Lisuo, do not have to suffer from fragmentary pain, it is extremely terrifying, Tan Huiping and other peasant girls have never been far away since childhood, where have they seen this scene, they were frightened, screamed and fainted, and went crazy in a few days.

When the fire was enough, Gu Jindan ordered someone to redeem them, save them who were almost half crazy, and said good words of relief, and they could only speak for several days.

The Gu family's manor is equipped with a repeating crossbow to drive away thieves, this kind of thing is said to have been created by Zhuge Liang, but in fact it is just a plaything, the crossbow arrow shoots out soft, and it can't be worn through the distance to scare people, Gu Jindan wants to take three pairs of this kind of repeater and distribute it to Tan Huiping and them.

The three poor peasant girls had changed their temperament greatly since they were frightened and frightened, but they took the crossbow and did not say a word, obediently covered their heads and practiced their archery skills hard, and their accuracy became more and more sophisticated.

"Do these three stupid women really dare to kill people, don't miss it when the time comes, and the slave family will lose their lives in vain. Gu Jindan still said with uneasy doubts.

"Miss is a good plan, it's a pity. Mr. Hu Gui grinned.

"It's just a pity what. "

"A hundred secrets, thinking about the invincible side on all sides to sow what kind of ruthless people, such as the market green skin knife mouth licking blood, a few light and fluttering little crossbows will also pierce a layer of skin, what use can it be, it will only anger the villain, make it fierce, suffer backlash. Hu Gui shook his head and replied.

"Sir's concern is not unreasonable, what is the best solution. Gu Jindan knew that this poor scholar was easy to show, although he was very dissatisfied, he still behaved in a good manner, and asked for advice with an open mind.

"As long as the arrow is poisoned, it can be solved. "

"Where to find poison, arsenic can be used. "

"This, it may be useful, but the arsenic medicine rat does not die immediately. "Hu Gui is up, he is just a poor scholar, where can he do murder, the head of the talk is the Tao, it is just on paper.

Gu Jindan gritted his teeth and was silent, recalling that when Fang Bo broke out and knocked her down, the figure that was as fast as lightning, and the brute strength of his arms like pincers, was undoubtedly a master, and ordinary big men might not be able to restrain him, if he tore his face with him, with a female stream, how could his thin and cute little body resist. But if the dust settles, the war is over, and the city is restored to peace, Fang Bo swallowed the Gu family's property again, and his wings are getting fuller, and he marries her according to the agreement, how can he prevaricate and refuse again, at that time, I really can't find a reason, do you want to start, no, she Gu Jindan, the daughter of a dignified wealthy family is lost to a ruffian, how can she be willing, never, Gu Jindan gritted his teeth and thought, his delicate face was full of hideousness. I only hope that this battle can be fought again, and I will fight for a few more months before I can slowly figure out a way to deal with Fang Bo.

In February, the people who were forcibly requisitioned to fill the river finally returned to Jizhou City one after another, and the people in the city heard that the Shenjia Battalion was fierce and vicious, and the thieves who suffered a thousand knives were eight thieves, and they killed innocents indiscriminately with fire guns, and for a time the name of Wang Pu almost stopped the children.

The rumors outside are wild and untrue, but Gu Jindan has the means, she first spent money to find a lot of surviving people, asked each other, let Hu Gui record it with a pen, and then compare the records one by one, smooth it out, the truth is really shocking.

"Wang Pu. Gu Jindan muttered thoughtfully, he could be at ease under the siege of Huang Taiji, could this person be an invincible general like Han Xin.

Wang Yan, who was sitting in Yanmen Pass, was anxious at this time, and I don't know why, Pinglu County in the south suddenly had a strong thief army, Yang Wanchun and several battles with it, and actually lost again and again, a large number of weapons fell into the hands of the enemy, there was no man to do everything, the female soldiers of the Yanmen guard were not good to attack south, and the only soldiers and horses that could be used at present were the 100-man team of the fire gun at the wharf.

As soon as she ordered this fire gun 100-person team to enter the mountains to suppress thieves, the dock was attacked at night, fortunately, the county commander Chen Shiliang was informed in advance, and he personally led a hundred armor soldiers to guard the dock, these soldiers and horses are equipped with special iron armor of the Shenjia battalion, and the weapons are made of stainless steel, and Chen Shiliang is a capable person, and he is quite capable of leading soldiers. After a night of fierce fighting, the old nest was not destroyed, and the steam engine and its craftsmen inside were also safe.

The so-called disaster is not a single line, at the same time, the tobacco business of the Jin merchants in the north has also been repeatedly ruined, since the end of last year, the imperial court's salary can no longer be smelled, the military salary is supported by this tobacco business, the profit fluctuates slightly, the military will be frustrated, and the people's hearts will be unstable.

In the letter Wang Yan wrote to Wang Pu, he did not dare to mention these difficulties, and only silently endured hardships and frustration.

The road is not quiet, Gu Huanchen went through hardships to arrive at Yanmen Pass, and glimpsed the soldiers standing on the wall from a distance with a straight posture, this must be the solemn atmosphere that can only be had by strict military discipline, and secretly praised Wang Pu Sure enough, there are still a lot of family backgrounds, and there is a door.

When I got closer, I saw that my eyes were full of women, all of them were women, this, is this a mistake into the daughter country, he forced himself to calm down, went up to find a female general, reported his name, and bluntly asked to see the steward of Yanmen.

The female general saw that the person who came was a handsome literati, her face was red, she twisted, and she couldn't talk back.

"That, that, Miss Yan no, no, no, or, you have a meal first, it's rice, the rice brought from the south, it smells good. "

"Ah, uh, such a small bother, very fragrant rice is so greedy, just give me a bowl. Gu Huanchen blurted out witty words, he was suave, and he spoke warmly and amiably, and he was very charming.

"I'll give you a ride, you wait. The woman blushed and fluttered, turned her head and flapped and ran away.

Seeing that this female general is so simple and innocent, Gu Huanchen can't cry or laugh, although he is well-informed, and all the characters of the three religions and nine streams know a little bit about it, but female generals are too uncommon, and they can only read it in books, taste it in plays, and hear it in rumors, but they have never seen it in person.

The female general's panicked movements were not small, and the female soldiers around her were curious, and they frequently glanced over, and they all looked up and down at the delicious scholar who was sent to the door with their smug eyes, covering their mouths and sneering. This unprecedented battle made Gu Huanchen feel uneasy. Pondering: When did the women of the Ming Dynasty have such wildness, could it be that they came from Tatars, but they don't look like it. Tatar women did not have the custom of gargling with salt, so their breath was so heavy and their teeth were yellowish-black, that no one was willing to buy them even as slaves.

The women here are all red lips and white teeth, full faces, thick bodies, although they are not beautiful, but they are not ugly. It can be seen that Wang Pu didn't let these women do rough work, and he had a good meal of fish and meat, which is so interesting, where did he get the money from this Yanmen Pass.

In the last days, the lives are devastated, people and beasts, and the number of people is not clear, who

can not change their original intentions, such as those without exception are strong people who despise the common people, strong as a rock, so that they do not have to succumb to the whirlpool of troubled times. Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, but this Yanmen Pass is like a paradise, everyone is innocent and full of vitality. But it is not a border village that is indisputable with the world, this is a key pass in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is a place where the enemy will gather chaotically, Gu Huanchen has been different from ordinary people's keen intuition since he was a child, from behind the simple and innocent heroic posture of these female soldiers, he can vaguely glimpse a suffocating terrifying strength,

Just thinking about it, I saw that the female general had already greeted her, and the two female soldiers behind her each carried two cages, sure enough, it was white and bright southern rice, in recent years, there were frequent disasters and famines in the north, and the eunuchs rose up to eat southern rice, more than half of which was because there was only rice in the treasury of the imperial court, and crops such as wheat in the north were very scarce. Yanmen Pass can use rice to entertain guests, it is enough to see that the imperial court is very fond of Yanmen's military horses, so the grain is given priority to supply here, it seems that there is a Ming Dynasty today's most elite, and the soldiers and horses with outstanding military achievements.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Gu Huanchen was not slacking off because there was a woman opposite, and made a big salute. He and more than a dozen domestic slaves slept in the open along the way, and it was true that they hadn't eaten hot food for a long time, so they couldn't help but feast in front of all the female soldiers.

While eating, he didn't forget to glance up at the weapons of those female soldiers, seeing that the shape was a fire gun, and his curiosity aroused, so he pretended to ask casually: "This general, can you show Xiao Sheng the fire gun, it looks different from other guards." "

"No, don't look around, people who are suspicious will be taken as meticulous. The woman immediately became vigilant and kindly admonished.

"Oh, then I won't look at it, little sister, don't doubt me. Gu Huanchen pretended to be innocent, and said in his heart: This fire gun is really weird.

said that Wang Yan was riding a horse at this time, and she was heroic in chain mail, but still, I saw that her eyes were red, and it was difficult to hide her self-pity and loneliness. Since being disrespectful to his wife, he expelled him from Yanmen Pass. She broke with her former sisters, she was alone, and all the rebels and relatives were separated, which was expected, she was a mere slave and maid, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead against her wife, and the whole Wang family thought she was a plague, and they were afraid of being implicated, so they avoided it.

However, Wang Yan

doesn't care about those trivial things, no one can understand Wang Yan's heart, she is no longer just a maidservant, she runs a huge industry, the mines in the south, the tobacco in the north, the daily gold, raising food and salary for the Yanmen guards and the Shenjia battalion, strategizing, sending a large army out to suppress thieves, these are all military affairs, she is a servant girl who handles military affairs, the only one in the world.

People will become, Wang Yan has seen a broader world, and then looked back at the small well in the past, leaving only pity and disdain for the people in the well.

The young master reused the two slaves around him, in addition to himself, there was also Wang Lu. originally thought that Wang Lu would be like her, only loyal to the young master.

"Young master, you are looking at the wrong person. Wang Yan secretly thought in his heart: Why did Wang Lu betray the young master, no, he can't talk about betrayal like that, but he didn't dare to offend his wife, Mingzhe protected himself, but the young master was waiting for us to save him, how could he dismantle the stage behind his back at this time, the young master repeatedly told him not to form gangs and dismantle each other, that is the way to death.
