Daming reckless man

Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Yan Song is looking forward to it now, looking forward to tomorrow, and Ding Rukui is even more so. Now he just wants to kill Zhang Rong and his son, especially Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao injured his son, not only did he not apologize, but he was also criticized by the emperor, which made him very upset. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Rong's boss, and he ended up with such a result. How could this matter happen? Can't make it through.

The next morning, Zhang Rong was still training the soldiers, thinking that he would not train in the afternoon and let the soldiers sleep. At the same time, in terms of logistics, Zhang Rong also asked the soldiers to prepare pancakes and other dry food.

Zhang Hao said that he needs to prepare for at least three days. He is afraid that he will be surrounded by then, and he will not be able to return, so he must bring water. However, the soldiers should carry water with them.

After Zhang Rong inspected the training, Ding Rukui went to the barracks. Seeing so many soldiers training and throwing an iron guy, he smiled lightly, and then led the generals to the camp in the north.

"Grandpa, Ding Shangshu is here!" A personal guard came in and reported to Zhang Ronghui.

"Oh, please!" Zhang Rong heard it, and glanced at Zhang Hao who was still sleeping, but he didn't wake him up, so he went straight to the door of the Chinese army's tent, and saw Ding Rukui leading someone over.

"I've met Master Shangshu!" Zhang Rong first went over and bowed his hands and said.

"I've seen the Duke of England!" Ding Rukui said at the same time, clasping his hands.

"Please!" Zhang Rong gave up his seat and asked Ding Rukui to be in front.

"British lord, British lord, this time I am here, one is to inspect the northern city defense, and the other is to worry, if the Tatar army does not retreat tonight, what should I do?" Ding Rukui looked at Zhang Rong and said.

"Yes, I'm also watching over the city defense, there's no problem, but if the Tatars don't retreat, this will lose my majesty as a Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Rong and Ding Rukui walked side by side.

"Yes, what can you do about this?" Ding Rukui pretended to be worried.

"This is the only way to send troops to fight." Zhang Rong didn't know what Ding Rukui meant. When did he come to ask himself a solution?He has always been Yan Song's follower, and he will ask Yan Song if he has any questions?
"Yes, we sent troops to fight, but we only have such a small number of people, and the King Qin army outside has not yet arrived, how can we fight?" Ding Rukui continued to stare at Zhang Rong and said.

"Well, what do you mean by Shangshu?" Zhang Rong didn't dare to answer, Ding Rukui was Yan Song's man, Zhang Rong knew how insidious Yan Song was, so now that Ding Rukui came to say that, Zhang Rong was also very vigilant.

"Didn't I just ask for your opinion?" Ding Rukui looked at Zhang Rong and said, he hoped that Zhang Rong would propose to send troops to fight again.

"I really don't have any opinion on this!" Zhang Rong hesitated for a moment and said.

Ding Rukui was very anxious, he didn't want to go on the road, he argued with himself yesterday, hoping to send troops to fight, why is there no movement now?

So he thought for a while, looked at Zhang Rong and said, "Look, is it okay to send out the army and threaten them in the past? Let the Tatars know that it's not that I, Da Ming, dare not fight, but that I don't want to fight again?"

Zhang Rong looked at Ding Rukui, did he already know that the emperor agreed to send troops, or did he come to test him on purpose, so he said vaguely: "Shangshu made the decision."

When Ding Rukui heard this, he was still not on the right track. Could it be that he wanted to explain himself and asked him to send troops to fight? If you die on the battlefield, if you say that you ordered it, then you can't get rid of the responsibility.

"Well, you said yesterday at the emperor's side that you want to go out to fight? Look?" Ding Rukui still hoped that Zhang Rong would say this.

But Zhang Rong was still worried that he would stop him, thinking that he was here to test, so he waved his hand and said, "I was the one who was abrupt yesterday, so I don't dare to go out and fight now."

"This!" Ding Rukui was at a loss when he heard this, what else can I say?

"Father, what's the matter with him?" Zhang Hao understood from the side at the moment. Ding Rukui wanted his father to go out to fight.

"Hao'er, sleep on your sleep." Zhang Rong stretched out his hand to prevent Zhang Hao from getting up.

"I was woken up by him. I said what do you mean? What are you doing here? Don't worry here, Tatar can't fight, you should just keep an eye on the other three sides!" Zhang Hao put on his shoes and looked at him angrily. Ding Rukui said.

"Haha, Zhang Manzi, your father and I are talking about the city defense, which is related to the safety of the capital, so don't be careless!" Ding Rukui looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and said, knowing that Zhang Manzi in front of him should not be messed with, in case he hurts you , there is really no place to reason.

"Tch, you still care about this, you know that Tatars can't get in at all!" Zhang Hao said to Ding Rukui with contempt.

"You, okay, Zhang Rong, let me tell you this? If the Tatars don't withdraw their troops before dark tonight, you can send troops to fight and give Tatars some deterrence. Of course, it's up to you to fight or not. However, In the future, don't say that the old man prevents you from going out of the city to fight." Ding Rukui didn't want to stay here any more, he was arguing with a barbarian Zhang, it was dangerous, so it was better to withdraw first.

The point is, Zhang Rong kept silent, waiting by himself was not an option, so let's just say it, since he didn't order him to go anyway.

"Okay, I got it!" Zhang Rong nodded, feeling even more confused in his heart. He didn't know what kind of medicine Ding Rukui sold, why he suddenly became enlightened, or did the emperor talk to him?

If you talk to him, he said it clearly, so why bother to let yourself guess.

"That's fine, I'll take my leave first!" Ding Rukui turned around and left after saying that, he didn't want to talk to Zhang Rong and his son, but Zhang Rong would not be so rude, so he personally sent him to the gate of the Chinese military tent.

After watching Ding Rukui go away, he returned to the tent of the Chinese army with a puzzled face.

"Father, this Ding Rukui has no good intentions!" Zhang Hao said standing there, looking at his father.

"Huh? How do you know that he has no good intentions!" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao and asked with a smile.

"You have always wanted to send troops to fight. He refused to agree to it yesterday. Why did you agree today? There must be some conspiracy that we don't know about? Maybe it's because we hope that our father and son will die in battle." Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Rong and said.

It really made him right!
"Huh?" As soon as Zhang Rong heard it, he sat down in front of the desk, thinking about Zhang Hao's words.

"Father, think about it. We are already talking about it. It will be a matter of time before the Tatars retreat. In other words, the possibility of the Tatars attacking the city is not very high. If we go out to fight at this time, he will think, We will definitely not win, on the contrary, it will cause Tatars to retaliate.

In this case, the emperor will be furious, and those ministers will also impeach us, saying that we disrupted the negotiations and let the Tatars continue to besiege the capital, but even if the Tatars continue to besiege, it will only take a few days. As soon as the army came, the Tatar army would naturally retreat.

But father, you have to take responsibility for this matter. Maybe those ministers will suggest to the emperor to send you to prison? "Zhang Hao stood there, looked at Zhang Rong and said.

When Zhang Rong heard this, he couldn't help nodding. When the messenger didn't come yesterday, he couldn't ask Ding Rukui to do anything, but today, he came to the door in person, and he said that he hoped that he would lead the army to fight, so there must be a purpose.

"Hao'er can see it very clearly, so tell me, do you want to go out of the city to fight?" Zhang Rong looked up at Zhang Hao and said.

"We must fight out of the city, father, the emperor has agreed now, if we don't go out to fight, we will be deceiving the emperor, and what you said in front of the emperor before is tantamount to deceiving the emperor." Zhang Hao said in a very firm tone .

"Well, but, what if I really can't come back?" Zhang Rong couldn't help but worry.

"Father, don't worry. It's definitely not a big deal. We've got so many big firecrackers now, I don't believe that we can't kill them. Even if we can't kill them, we can scare them to death!" Zhang Hao immediately encouraged Zhang Rong.

Since you want to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty, you need to gain enough trust from your father, only your own backing is strong.

"Okay, by the way, at noon, let's go home to eat, and have a meal with your mother, your brother, and sister-in-law." Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhang Hao nodded.

For this battle, Zhang Hao knew that Zhang Rong was still worried, but he was loyal to Daming in his heart, and wanted to avenge Daming, so he had no choice but to accompany him.

At noon, Zhang Hao followed Zhang Rong back to the mansion. At this moment, the family had already prepared food, and Xu's eyes were red all the time. She knew that if nothing happened, Zhang Rong couldn't come back for lunch at this time, it must be Something is going to happen.

It's a war now, what will happen, Xu doesn't dare to think about it.

"Mother, I'm back!" Zhang Hao shouted first after entering the Duke's Mansion.

"Hey, Hao'er, come, my son!" Upon hearing Zhang Hao's voice, Mrs. Xu hurried to the door of the hall, and hugged Zhang Hao.

"Brother, sister-in-law!" Then Zhang Hao shouted to the two young people standing at the door.

The eldest brother is very thin and weak, he might fall down if the wind blows, and the sister-in-law is also from a wealthy family, dignified and beautiful, but unfortunately, there are no children, which makes Zhang Rong and his wife very anxious.

"Hey, second brother, it's up to you to help me, brother is incompetent!" Zhang Yuangong and Zhang Lihong said with red eyes. He is very smart, but he is not in good health. Knowing that Zhang Rong's return at this time indicates that something bad will happen. .

"What are you doing? Why are you crying?" Zhang Hao looked at them pretending not to understand and asked.

"No, Second Brother, just now Big Brother got sand in his eyes!" Zhang Liqiang said with a smile.

"Tch, dad and I are going to make great contributions, you should be happy!" Zhang Hao knew that he couldn't hide it, so he might as well say it and let them rest assured.
