please make me king

Chapter 1206 Puzhou and He Fu

"Kill, kill, kill!" The endless killing sound came from afar, waking up General Zheng Jiadong from his deep sleep.

finally come!

Zheng Jiadong, who had been terrified for many days in vain, was supposed to be terrified, but he suddenly felt at ease.

"What's the situation outside?" Zheng Jiadong asked the guard who rushed in while hurriedly putting on his clothes.

The guards, who were panicked at first, felt at ease when they saw that General Zheng Jiadong was so confident, and hurriedly reported:

"The thieves came over. They killed everyone they saw, and burned the camp when they saw it. I don't know how many people came here at once!"

"Hurry up and put on the armor for me!" Zheng Jiadong commanded the army methodically, with the appearance of "Mount Tai collapses in front without changing color, and elk thrives in the left without blinking".

The common armor styles in the late Ming Dynasty are generally cotton armor and Ming armor. In fact, they all belong to the so-called cloth face armor in later generations.

This kind of armor may not be comparable to armor, chain armor and plate armor in terms of defense, but it is simple and comfortable to wear, which is convenient for soldiers to deal with the enemy.

The general Zheng Jiadong was no exception, he had already prepared a well-made cold-forged blue face armor for combat use.

With the help of the left and right guards, Zheng Jiadong put on this armor as if he were wearing clothes, and he couldn't help feeling a little more at ease.

Zuo Zuo took the iron arm again and wanted to tie it up, but he waved his hand and refused.

Wearing iron armor is for saving one's life, and wearing iron arms is for fighting one's life.

Now he just wants to save his life, not fight for it.

Zheng Jiadong grabbed the phoenix-winged helmet and put it on his head, put the saber on his waist, and ordered: "Follow me out of the tent!"

After everyone received the military order, they went out of the Chinese army tent together with him.

I saw a sea of ​​flames outside, illuminating the night like the day.

The camp was already filled with the sound of fighting, shouting and screaming, and it was really unknown how many "thieves" had come.

Zheng Jiadong couldn't help squinting his eyes, glanced around and said: "Come on, let's gather some teams and retreat to Puzhou first before we make any calculations."

According to these years of combat experience, he dared to conclude that there would not be too many "thieves" who came to steal the camp this time.

If people are organized at this time, they may not be incapable of fighting.

However, Zheng Jiadong did not intend to continue to bear it to the death, but chose to back down a step.

why?
Because it doesn't make sense!
As a veteran general, Zheng Jiadong understands better than others. He only has a thousand people under his command. Even if they are exhausted, how long can they resist the "Shun Thieves"?
Now you can't fight, and it's easy to be used by others, so why don't you retreat and make plans?
Afterwards, he collected three to five hundred soldiers, repelled the rebels who came to harass, and rushed all the way to Puzhou.

Puzhou governs Hedong County, eight miles around the city, and only four miles away from Pubanjin.

Zheng Jiadong broke through the resistance of the rebels and rushed back to Puzhou in one breath.

Participating general Zheng Jiadong's idea is very simple, as long as he relies on the defense of Puzhou City, the "thief" can't help him for a while.

Then you will be in an invincible position. When the time comes, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. No matter how bad you are, you can surrender at any time.

I never thought that Zheng Jiadong had just entered the city, but he shocked someone.

This person is none other than Zhang Shun's old friend, He Fu, the former magistrate of Song County, whose character is Jianyuan.

Before, he was relegated to the frontier because of his disadvantage in "guarding against thieves" in Song County. Later, he was recommended by someone to take up the post.

After He Fu took office, his official reputation was outstanding, and he was promoted to the prefect of Puzhou soon.

After He Fu came to office, he advised farmers to teach farming and repaired the city, and at the same time, he searched for heroes and guarded against the eastward advance of rebels.

That day he was sleeping deeply, when he heard a commotion in the city, he quickly jumped up, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "What's the commotion outside?"

"Master, the officers and soldiers outside were defeated and wanted to retreat to the city, but the guards refused to allow it, so there was a conflict." A servant hastily stepped forward to answer.

"Where is the dragon and phoenix? Let's go and check with the eunuch!" He Fu had just finished speaking when a big man answered.

Everyone heard the reputation and looked around, only to see that this man was only thirty-three or fourteen years old, about eight feet tall, with a thin face and long beard, eyes like lightning, and holding a two-zhang spear, standing upright.

It turned out that this man was the strong man recruited by He Fu called Ji Longfeng, who belonged to Zhu Fengren in Puzhou, Shanxi. .

The rafters are the load-bearing structures of ancient houses pressed on top of the purlins. They are generally pressed under the tiles and exposed at the eaves, so there is a saying that "the rafters that stand out first rot".

The rafters are generally only two or three inches thick, so they are not easy to be hit.

This person can nod his head on a flying horse, which shows his superb marksmanship.

Therefore, He Fu was overjoyed to get this person's help, and often took him by his side as a confidant.

It is said that after Ji Longfeng took the order, he led thirty or fifty heroes to protect He Fu and rushed to the west gate of Puzhou City. Sure enough, he saw that the city was in chaos.

After repeated confirmation by He Fu, the prefect of Puzhou, Zheng Jiadong was put into the city.

It is said that Zheng Jiadong entered Puzhou City, and when he told the story, he thought that he would scare the courage of the scribes in front of him.

Unexpectedly, He Fu made a decisive decision: "This must be a 'shun thief' who wants to invade Puzhou on a large scale, and it cannot be defeated by one person."

"Yilian Yeyan invites Prime Minister Han to preside over the important event, and invites Qianhu Zhangshang from Puzhou to help us!"

General Zheng Jiadong was a little confused when he heard the words, he didn't know what to do for a while, so He Fu, the magistrate of Puzhou, took care of the matter.

It turns out that this "Han Xiang" is none other than Han Yu and Han Xiangyun who have gone through the four dynasties of Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen, from the official to the chief assistant of the cabinet.

This person is a Jinshi in the [-]th year of Wanli. He has successively served as Minister of Rites, Bachelor of Dongge University, University of Jianji Pavilion, and Chief Assistant of the Cabinet.

In the second year of Chongzhen, he was criticized by the imperial censor because of "the change of Jisi". Han Yu had to go to the doctor three times to claim his illness, and resigned from office and returned to his hometown.

General Zheng Jiadong's position is humble, and he was stunned for a moment when he never thought that there was such a "great god" in Puzhou city.

Of course, if that's all, Zheng Jiadong has the military power in his hands, so he is naturally fearless.

It's just that He Fuyan invited those Puzhou thousands of households to reward him, which extinguished his last thought.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a Thousand Households Office was set up in the northeast of Puzhou City, called the Puzhou Defense Thousand Households Office.

Although it has been nearly [-] years since the establishment of the Thousand Households Office, it has already changed beyond recognition and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, so why don't you know?
Therefore, after he took office, he cooperated with the Deputy Envoy of Pingyang Mansion in charge of Hedong Road to rectify military affairs, build armor and weapons, and together with the current Puzhou Qianhu Zhangshang carefully selected [-] people as guards.

Now it happens that there is a war, how can He Fu not use this soldier?

Good guy, in one night, there were soldiers and generals in Puzhou City, and they built that Puzhou City as solid as gold.
