son-in-law

Chapter 815
There are now three forces in Hedong Road, namely the officers and soldiers led by King Qin, the rebel army founded by the Zhang family, and the bandit gang organized by Chen Yue and Wu Dian.

Since the bandits were unpopular, King Qin didn't worry about them even though they developed rapidly.The Zhang's uprising army is the focus of this expedition.

During the war of public opinion, the numbers of both the enemy and the enemy increased.

Zhang's rebel army had reached 8000, but half of his soldiers were forced to join the army, and their morale was far lower than that of the Fourth Division.The Fourth Division has nearly [-] people.

The rebel army increased its troops faster than the Fourth Division, mainly because the area north of Taiyuan was beyond the reach of the King of Qin, and the people in that area were most seriously bewitched by the Zhang family.

The enemy army was so powerful that King Qin deliberately separated the fourth division and stationed them in Shangdang City and Lucheng respectively.This arrangement was intended to lure Zhang Zhiti or Zhang Min to attack, but the uncle and nephew never came.It is estimated that Zhang Zhiti is accumulating strength, and he will come when he feels absolutely sure.

The king of Qin paid special attention to information collection, and trained a large number of scouts to explore the horses, and they have extended to the enemy's camp.

In the words of King Qin, the scouts are my eyes, always watching what the enemy is doing.If Zhang Min's troops continued to increase in number, then Su Yu didn't intend to wait any longer.In case Ye Ting didn't receive the letter and couldn't come to support him, he would be blocked by Zhang Min and couldn't go home.

Zezhou has become an area controlled by the enemy, communication has been blocked, King Qin has not received a letter from the imperial court and his fat wife for a long time.

But Zhang Min's recruiting work didn't seem to be going well. Ten days passed, and he didn't see a few soldiers recruited.But Zhang's uncles and nephews don't look as crazy as Chen Yue and Wu Dian. The men will be killed if they don't join the army, and the women will be taken away as army rations. They are simply a group of soldiers from hell.

"Report to the King of Qin that Wu Dian led five thousand bandit troops. After taking Qinzhou, they are still heading east and have entered Luzhou."

Hearing the scout's report, Su Yu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't go to him, but he came to me?"

Han Jian snorted coldly: "It's just a group of bandits, all you need is an arrow from the principal, and the Seventh Regiment dispatches troops to wipe them out!"

Su Yu smiled: "The soldiers of the Seventh Regiment are precious and should not be wasted. I don't think it is necessary to fight this battle head-on. Aren't these bandits short of food? Then give them some."

Of course, they didn't really send grain to the bandits, but pretended to transport grain to Tongxian County. In fact, the trucks were filled with hay bales or empty boxes.All you need to do is to lure out those bandits and lay them in an ambush.If the regular army fights bandits to ambush, it must be a storm, so the losses of our own side must be smaller.

The King of Qin said that fighting a war is also doing business, trying to reduce costs and maximize profits.

This time, it was Dangmao's first regiment and Dianfeng's fifth regiment who went to Tongxian to fight an ambush.Since the two regiments crossed the river, they have not fought a battle, but they have recruited many soldiers.The two regiments together numbered as many as 4000.Letting them go is also to create opportunities for the recruits to practice their hands, which can be said to be training by battle.

Facing 36 bandits, although he was still fighting more with less, this time Su Yu was not worried about anything. As a result, he got the news three days later that Dian Feng knifed the bandit leader Wu Dian and killed seven of the [-] Tiangangs at the same time. .

Dang Mao led the first regiment and performed well in this battle. Unfortunately, this kid was very obedient and fought strictly according to the plan assigned by the general, so he attacked late, so he didn't get as much benefit as the general.

Of course, ordinary generals don't want to earn more than Dian Feng, that kid is notoriously fierce when he plays Sanhu.

In this case, the naughty children cannot be praised, otherwise it is equivalent to criticizing the good children, so instead of counting the military exploits separately, the achievements of the cooperation of the two teams will be written in the credit book.According to statistics after the war, the two regiments wiped out a total of more than [-] enemy troops, captured more than [-] soldiers, and dispersed other bandits.

Another thousand prisoners were added, and there were many women.The miserable condition of those women is really indescribable, in short, they are disheveled and haggard.

After they were arrested by the bandit army, they were tied up with ropes, more than a dozen per rope.They were not given food from the first day, only water.Whoever can't stand it will be killed by the bandit army.

At this time, the rations of the Fourth Division also had problems. Due to the surge in the number of soldiers, refugees flocked in, and the food roads were cut off again. The Food Supervision Department reported that there was less than a month left of food.At this time, there was still no movement from Ye Ting...

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we will starve to death." Su Yu summoned the generals and made a deployment: "Han Jian is on the right and Dian Feng is on the left. Let's go to Zezhou together. How do you like to fight?" No matter how you fight, there must be reinforcements behind you."

King Qin shook his sleeves: "Now, our fourth division has nearly 2 people. Even if Ye Ting doesn't come, I will fight this battle."

Slapping the table: "Let's go!"

……

The news from the fourth division was cut off. Tang Ling'er was restless at home, and often woke up in a dream. When she woke up, she felt short of breath and couldn't fall asleep. In the middle of the night, she ran to the east secret room to pray to Buddha.Hit the wooden fish quickly, muttering words.

Dozens of days of torture, watching her belt gradually widen.

Seeing the princess suffering so much, Wang Xun couldn't help crying.

The maidservant in brocade clothes knew that she was under extraordinarily high pressure now.Some time ago, she requested a family meeting as the property owner of Qinghuafang.In fact, her current qualifications and status alone are not enough to hold a family meeting.But with the support of the fourth brother Tang Kuan and the twelfth brother Tang Dian, the conference was held as scheduled.

This is the first time that the Tang family held a family meeting by a woman in more than 100 years.

According to common sense, at this time, Tang Ling'er, as a married princess, is not qualified to manage family affairs.But Tang Zhen still let her control the family property and let her live in Qinghuafang.And Su Yu gave her the super treatment of one school and two houses, so that Princess Chang'an could act in the halo of Princess Qin, making her even more dazzling.

Because of her existence, the Tang family and an important member of the royal family, King Zhao Yu of Qin, were firmly tied together. At the same time, she was also connected to Zhao Xuan, the real powerful leader of the Xuanjia Army.

The 78-year-old Tang Jiong believes that he can still do it, and hopes to work for another year.

But Tang Ling'er couldn't wait any longer.

Although Tang Jian, the fifth son, was beaten, there are still other sons who want to come back from Chang'an.

Because Tang Zhen wanted to completely eliminate the forces of Ninghou Mansion in the army.It was Tangning's legacy, which even included Tang Li, Chief Staff Officer of Shence.

If the eighth son Tang Li came back, then Tang Linger would lose all his previous efforts.The past few years have been trying to please Tang Jiong, but it was all in vain.

Tang Li's contribution is too great, there is no way to obliterate it.He doesn't have as many stains as Tang Jian.Even if there is a stain, it is not enough to shake his position in the family.

Then there is a question here. As a member of the Presbyterian Council and Tang Li's younger brother, the twelfth son, Tang Dian, why did he help Tang Ling'er?

Because Tang Zhen promised that as long as Tang Dian helped Tang Ling'er enter the Presbyterian Church, he would help Tang Li inherit Tang Xun's position.In other words, Tang Yan, the seventeenth son, has no chance to enter the Presbyterian Church.In the end, he sacrificed the concubine young master.

Tang Yan had been waiting at home for decades, and he was still only a financial assistant. He continued to be the manager of his factory and the head of the carpenter.

However, Tang Zhen also promised Tang Yan that if there is any further change in the family elders, it will be you who will make up for it.

Tang Yan has no military power, no influence of relatives, and he has no capital to call out in front of Tang Zhen, so he can only obey the command of the eighteenth brother.Otherwise what else could he do?If he dared to cut corners when building a house, he would be completely excluded from the family core.

But now, as long as he is obedient, he still has face.Wherever they go to participate in the ceremony, they are also representatives of the Tang Corporation, the chief guest of honor.After all, there are still people who hope to enter the Presbyterian Church.

"Fourth uncle still refuses to hand over power, what suggestion do the three elder brothers have?"

Tang Ling'er invited Tang Kuan, Tang Dian, and Tang Yan to Xiaofeng Pavilion to discuss major issues, and planned to force Tang Jiong to step down.

Tang Dian said: "Actually, Ling'er doesn't need to be too anxious, even if he doesn't violate (Tang Li) and comes back, there is still a place."

Tang Kuan said with a smile: "Although that is the case, these are two different things. We have seen how Linger has treated fourth uncle these years. If fourth uncle refuses to give way, let seventh uncle do so, both Qishu and Linger feel uncomfortable. Besides, there is no definite date for when the eighth brother will come back, and the seventh uncle is still young."

Tang Yan seemed to have just drank alcohol, his spirits were low, and he was silent.But Tang Dian was not in a hurry, and Tang Kuan just said some perfunctory words.

Tang Ling'er narrowed her eyes and said, "Tang Ming, Tang Fu, Tang Xiao, please be promoted to supervisor."

These three people are the sons of Tang Kuan, Tang Dian and Tang Yan respectively.Tang Ling'er wants to promote them to the heads of the seven major factories in Qinghuafang or Shouan Paper Mill, Luoxi Wharf, Jade Mine, and Gyeonggi-do Farmland Area.

This sentence shocked the three of them.

Tang Dian met Tang Kuan's eyes, and then looked at Tang Yan.

Tang Kuan said: "Let's talk to Fourth Uncle. But we can't guarantee that he will let it go. Linger should add some conditions."

Tang Linger said: "Originally, the three supervisors were prepared for his family. Since he refused to hand it over, I will give it to you. Now I have nothing to give him."

Tang Kuan thought for a while: "After the three of them are promoted, won't they retain three co-organizer positions?"

Tang Linger said: "I suddenly removed three supervisors, and I have to make proper compensation."

The matter froze, but Tang Yan, who had been silent all this time, gave a wry smile and said, "I think everyone knows how I have treated Uncle Qi for so many years. But Uncle Qi is just fooling me. Now don't blame me for being unkind." Righteousness. I think that Ling'er should take away part of Uncle Seven's benefits and give it to Uncle Fourth's family. In this way, Uncle Fourth's side will be balanced. Moreover, we should kill first and play later."
