Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 310
This time Xiong Mingyu was in bad luck, the asymmetry in the information caused him a crushing defeat. Not only did he not kill Yang Menglong, but he also lost the trust of Chongzhen.

Of course, some ministers also raised questions about the performance of the Ming army. After all, beheading more than 40 people in one battle was too exaggerated. Ningyuan was victorious. Yuan Chonghuan reported the victory by claiming to have killed tens of thousands of enemies. He also shot the slave chief Nurhaci, and the number of people killed was only three or four. Just a hundred!In this regard, Cao Huan generously stated that the heads are being sent to the capital, and everyone can count them level by level, and the prisoners have also been brought over, and everyone can count them one by one.Now everyone has nothing to say. If people dare to say this, they must have something to say. Even if there is water in it, it will not be too much. Let's think about how to reward the three armies.The first-level reward for beheading is 2000 taels of silver. Now that a guy has come to more than [-] levels, where can I get so much money to reward others!

The ministers were worried, but Sun Chengzong, who was far away in Jinzhou, was relieved when he received the letter from Feige.The next crime is a capital crime. In order to keep Yang Menglong's troublesome head, he was so worried that even the last few black hairs turned white. What Wu Yong and Cao Huan said in the court hall were all taught by him. , After a lot of trouble, I finally saved this troublemaker, and I can finally sleep peacefully!He smiled and said to Qiu Hejia: "This kid has passed this test, but he also offended Xiong Mingyu very much, and I'm afraid he will have a hard time in the future."

Qiu Hejia also laughed: "I'm afraid the emperor would be most happy to see such a situation? He offended the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War deliberately planned to punish him. If he wanted to save his life, he had to listen to the emperor. Save him after disaster."

Sun Chengzong said: "Yes, it seems that he can only become the emperor's lonely and loyal minister."

The two old men racked their brains for Yang Menglong, but Yang Menglong didn't care. In other words, he didn't know how serious the consequences of offending his boss were in this era.Now this man is working hard to do business with Guan Ningjun, selling Wuyang Guard's weapons and equipment, trying to make a small amount of money.During the expedition of thousands of miles, they killed mountains of corpses and seas of blood outside the customs. Apart from more than 600 horses and a few field cannons, Wuyang Guard had nothing else to gain. Although the horses are very valuable, especially the tall, strong and explosive Liaodong War horses are more valuable, but they are strategic materials, so they can't be sold, right?Therefore, if he wants to recover, he has to work hard on Guan Ningjun.

"The horizontal knife is made of high-quality high-carbon steel, with a blue surface that prevents rust. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like clay!" he introduced with excitement.

Zhong Ning pulled out the horizontal knife, and swung it at a hollow straw mat. Three times, the light and tough straw mat was cut into four pieces. The general of Guan Ning's army widened his eyes. Repeatedly exclaimed: "It's amazing!"

"The Snake Ridge Bow is made of more than a dozen high-quality materials such as fine mulberry wood, isinglass, beef tendons, and horns. It took a year to make. It has a bow power of three stones, a range of more than [-] steps, and is extremely accurate. In the arrow In this regard, we have light arrows, heavy arrows, and long-range thin arrows. The heavy arrows can shoot through two layers of cotton armor, and the long-range thin arrows can shoot four to five hundred steps with the wind. Whether it is to torture infantry, break heavy armor, or snipe and kill buildings. You generals all have corresponding arrowheads to choose from!" Yang Menglong held up a bow and shouted nine-nine-eight, nine-nine-eight, only nine-nine-eight!

Xue Siming was seventy steps away and shot an arrow through two layers of cotton armor.General Guan Ning shouted: "Awesome! So awesome!"

"Look at this helmet..."

"Look at our armor..."

"And this long gun..."

Yang Menglong worked hard to sell them, while Xue Siming, Zhong Ning, Wang Tiehammer and others also worked hard to demonstrate the superior performance of these weapons, which made Guan Ningjun drool.After experiencing it personally, the generals of the Guan Ning Army all said that these weapons are indeed excellent, even worse than Jiannu.In the end, Zu Dabi made a final decision and bought three thousand horizontal knives at a price of 15 taels of silver.The armor was much more expensive, but he didn't even frown, and bought three thousand pairs, worth as much as 15 taels of silver.As for the compound bow that Yang Menglong worked so hard to sell, he also bought [-] pieces, and the matching arrow branches amounted to as many as one million.The equipment provided by the Bingzhang Bureau is really bad. Although Guan Ningjun can get the best equipment, the quality is just that, no matter how good it is, how can it be as good as the one provided by Wuyang Guard?

After a hard sell, Yang Menglong got a total order of no less than 30 taels of silver. He couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear. Sure enough, he still makes money in the arms business!However, Zu Dabi's request for a large sum of money to buy unconscionable guns was rejected by him.He was really embarrassed to take this trash can out to fool people. Besides, this thing has no technical difficulty. If Jiannu learns it, he will be miserable.

The transaction between Lu Xiangsheng and Guan Ningjun is also continuing.But now the situation has changed: Guan Ning’s army suffered heavy losses, and the most important thing is that Guan Ning’s army also won a lot of heads in this battle, so Zu Dabi expressed some regrets that they did not plan to exchange war horses for heads .Lu Xiangsheng secretly sighed that rare things are more valuable. When the Ming army won a victory, these guys would do ten horses for one head. Now that they have captured more heads, they immediately turned their faces.Fortunately, although Zu Dabi and the others don't care about heads anymore, they are still kind. After all, the Tianxiong Army was given a share of military exploits before. The horses were not given, but the five hundred horses were sent as they were.As for the transfer to Master Wu Xiang, the five hundred horses he promised were also delivered, but the more than 1000 war horses that should be given were delayed and delayed. Finally, Qi Hu proposed to give him another two hundred heads and a batch of horses. He happily took out [-] war horses as spoils of war.What this guy has done is disgusting, the entire Tianxiong Army has made up their minds and will never do business with him again!
Yang Menglong also made a deal with Wu Xiang, exchanging the heads for 1000 horses in total. In this way, the Wuyang Guard has close to [-] horses, which also means that he can form another group of horses. With more than [-] Lancers, he just doesn't know whether he can afford the huge consumption of Lancer training and combat.

The days when there is a small amount of money to earn are always very happy, but Yang Menglong also has moments of depression.

His depression comes from the two beautiful dancers in the ancestral home.

There is really nothing to say about this pair of dancers. Their appearance, figure, temperament, and talent are all top choices. In modern times, it is more than enough to be a Victoria's Secret model.These two dancers often stuffed him with love letters—and then entrusted him to pass them on to Lu Xiangsheng. Is there anything more depressing than this in the world?

Yang Menglong wished he could tie up these two beauties and pack them up for Lu Xiangsheng, so as not to bother him all day long!
In depression, the imperial edict arrived, asking Guan Ning's army, Wuyang guard, and Tianxiong army to escort the prisoners back to Beijing to show their victory.After Yang Menglong received the order, he curled his lips and said: "Offering Jie? You've already beaten me into a dog, what kind of Jie are you offering!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Beheading [-] people and taking [-] prisoners is already the most glorious victory since the Jurchen rebellion. Please show mercy to your bitch!"

Yang Menglong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Anyway, the battle was lost, and I don't care if they insist on swollen faces to pretend to be fat. I will return to Beijing when I return to Beijing! After returning to Beijing to show victory, hurry home and get married...Grandma's, again Beating bandits and building slaves made me even postpone my wedding!"

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at him: "Why do I feel that you are happy that you are not married?"

Yang Menglong asked people around: "Do you have it? Do I have it? No? Surely not, right?" The acting is called a show of emotion!
Regardless of whether this bastard is happy or not, after receiving the imperial decree, Tianxiong Army and Wuyang Guards still packed their luggage honestly, drove out of Jinzhou, and set foot on the road back to Beijing.This time, the Guan Ning army was much more enthusiastic towards them. Not only did they provide them with sufficient food and fodder, but they also mobilized enough carriages for the wounded soldiers.When the army left the city, tens of thousands of people from Jinzhou came to see them off in empty alleys. They were reluctant to part with them. They kept stuffing eggs, pancakes, etc. into the arms of the soldiers, and the voices of thanks were endless. This scene is really touching.

Yang Menglong rode the black horse that he captured from Hou Jin, Hei Feng, and looked back at the towering walls of Jinzhou City and the enthusiastic people with a somewhat complicated expression.This fortified city would continue to drive into western Liaoning like a nail, serving as an important fortress for the Ming army outside the Pass, causing Hou Jin to suffer immensely.In the years that followed, the Guanning Defense Line was always the strongest defense line of the empire in the north. It was unbreakable and protected the empire behind it until the last moment.In the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Later Jin Dynasty once again mobilized its entire country to attack the Ming Dynasty. Jinzhou ushered in an overwhelming misfortune. The process was similar to the retreat of Dalinghe City: the Later Jin Dynasty army surrounded Jinzhou but did not attack, and the Ming army came to rescue. They were completely wiped out by Hou Jin in Songshan, with 14 soldiers lost. The Ming army in the city ran out of food and supplies, and after eating up all the people in the city, Kaicheng surrendered... And the man who led the Ming army to surrender was the one who surrendered to Hou Jin in Daling River City. He did the same thing twice for Zu Dashou once.

But Hou Jin only captured Jinzhou.The Guanning line of defense is still strong, and it is almost insurmountable for Houjin. It was not until the fall of the Ming Dynasty that Wu Sangui opened the gate to let the Qing soldiers enter and lure wolves into the house. This line of defense was opened to Houjin for the first time and the last time. The land of China is a sea of ​​blood... Looking at the people all over the city, Yang Menglong felt a little unbearable.More than ten years later, they will all die, either by Hou Jin's arrows, or by the Ming army's sword and become the prey of the Ming army. Can he prevent this tragedy?
Withdrawing his thoughts, he saw that Lu Xiangsheng was also looking at the Qiao Tower in Jinzhou City, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Dalinghe City has been destroyed, and Jinzhou will become the next target of Jiannu. These 10,000+ soldiers and civilians...the future is dangerous!"

Yang Menglong chuckled: "Why, are you worried about those two beautiful dancers?"

Lu Xiangsheng glared at him: "What are you talking about?"

Yang Menglong said: "I'm not talking about you. When those two beauties looked at you, their eyes almost dripped with honey. Guan Ningjun was also very happy to use the two dancers to make friends with you. What else do you have?" So hesitant? Just accept it. If it were me, I would have put them in the harem a long time ago, get on the train first, and pay for the fare later..."

Lu Xiangsheng shouted angrily: "Yang Menglong, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will stuff your mouth with straw!"

Yang Menglong shrank his neck and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk, go back to Beijing, go back to Beijing!" The two reined in their horses and walked slowly.

In front of you are the snow-capped mountains like dancing silver snakes and the sea full of ice floes;
Behind them are the battlefields where blood and flesh once raged, the city they once defended, and the people they protected;
The ferocious Manchurian Jiannu was hiding in the hinterland of western Liaoning, licking his wounds, and might pounce on him again at any time.This isn't the first time they've faced off against Hou Jin, and it won't be the last.In the long years to come, they will continue to meet Hou Jin and collide with dazzling light.

Yang Menglong suddenly clamped the horse's belly, Hei Feng neighed loudly, and the horse Yin Shanxue that Lu Xiangsheng was following followed immediately. During the long neigh, two fierce horses, one black and one white, stood up tall, and immediately the Han generals fought. Fluffy and heroic.

Like two majestic mountains and rivers!
