I am the carpenter king

Chishui is located in the northwest of Guizhou, and its downstream flows into Sichuan. It is named for the red color of the river.There are mostly cliffs on both sides of the river, and the river is also very fast, so it is not easy to cross the Chishui River.

Standing by the river in Chishui, Sun Chuting frowned slightly, and behind him were several generals.Everyone had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious they were happy.Since they came to Sichuan to suppress the rebellion, they have made many military exploits, and they are all thinking about what rewards they can get.

Now that he was about to fight the rebels to the death, he didn't feel any nervousness in his heart. Instead, he was discussing things after his meritorious deeds.

Listening to the general officer's discussion behind him, a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Chuanting's mouth, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Chuanting was also in a good mood.Although the rebel army was powerful, Sun Chuanting didn't have any worries in his heart. After all, his subordinates were not given for nothing!

Looking back at the generals, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "The scouts searched for thirty miles along the river. This place is the most suitable for crossing the river. After crossing the river, we can reach Dafang in half a day. It's just that our crossing the river doesn't seem so easy!" said Looking at Sun Chuanting's gaze to the other side, scattered cavalry had already appeared there.

Although Sun Chuanting said so, the generals did not see anxiety on Sun Chuanting's face, nor did he feel anything in his heart.Wanting to prevent people like myself from crossing the river, I really don't know what the rebels think.

"My lord, you don't want those lowly officials to be happy. We can go across before the rebels come. Isn't there a pontoon on the river? Let's just go over!" A general smiled and stood up with a smile on his face. There is a bit of flattery on the face, respectful and authentic.

Slowly shaking his head, Sun Chuanting said meaningfully: "No, it's okay to simply leave the pontoon bridge, but now you can't pass people. Let people repair it, and then our large troops will go over."

The generals glanced at each other, but none of them knew what kind of medicine was sold in Sun Chuanting's gourd.There is a pontoon bridge here, which looks like it has been around for some years, and it really doesn't look very strong.But now the river is very wide, and the opposite bank can be vaguely seen.Half a mile wide, I'm afraid.If you don't hurry over now, it may be too late when the rebels arrive.

Sun Chuanting had a smile on his face, it was indeed in time, but who knew if there was an ambush on the other side?If you wait until halfway across the river on your side to be attacked by surprise, then the loss outweighs the gain.

The generals didn't seem to agree with Sun Chuanting's approach. One person quickly stood up and said with a very serious expression: "My lord, the bridge over Chishui is there. If the rebels destroy the bridge, we will not be able to get through it!" Now that the rebels have not reacted, we should go directly."

Glancing at the person standing up, Sun Chuanting narrowed his eyes, smiled calmly, and said, "General Zhou, how many days have we occupied Bijie? Have you ever wiped out all the rebels in Bijie?"

Zhou Shenjiang was taken aback for a moment, his face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he took a step back.Said: "I don't think well in the humble position, please punish me!"

Smiling and shaking his head.Sun Chuanting said softly: "If you are thoughtful, what do you want me to do?"

Several people were taken aback, seeing the smile on Sun Chuanting's face, they knew that Sun Chuanting was not angry.Several people also laughed, and Zhou Shen blushed, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Although all those present were generals.But to be able to serve in the three major battalions, and even become a general, naturally they have all read books.Since people like myself stayed in Bijie for two days, the dispersed rebels had already crossed Chishui and ran there.Now that the bridge is still there, there is only one possibility.That's what the rebels left on purpose.It is very likely that the rebels are ambushing on the opposite side, waiting to attack people like themselves head-on.

It is very likely that the rebels have tampered with this bridge. If you don't check it, you are really worried!Everyone also understood why Sun Chuanting did this. They knew that there was an ambush on the other side, so they should be more careful.

After looking up and down General Zhou Can, Sun Chuanting's face became serious, he pondered for a moment, and said, "General Zhou, since you said to punish, then I will punish you. When the pontoon bridge is repaired, you will lead people across the river first." , if there are rebels ambushing, don't pretend to be a coward for this commander!"

Hearing that Sun Chuanting wanted to punish General Zhou Can, several people looked at each other in blank dismay. They had been Sun Chuanting's subordinates for a long time, and they knew very well that Sun Chuanting was different from other literati.Don't say that you were punished because of one sentence, even if there is something wrong, you don't have to be punished. What happened today?

But after hearing what Sun Chuanting said later, smiles appeared on the faces of several people, and they looked at General Zhou with envy.In their view, this is not a punishment, but a cultivation.Who wouldn't want this good opportunity to make meritorious deeds?

Taking a big step forward, General Zhou raised his fist at Sun Chuanting and said loudly: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely complete the task. If anything goes wrong, Commander will cut off my head and use it as a chamber pot!"

Looking at General Zhou Can with a smile, Qin Tian waved his hand and said loudly, "I don't want your head to be a chamber pot, it's too ugly!"

Hearing what Sun Chuanting said, several people looked at each other and laughed immediately.

The Ming army set up camp and dispatched engineers to overhaul the pontoon bridge. They crossed the river in a leisurely manner, obviously not in a hurry.

Not far from the opposite bank of the Chishui River, there are two big mountains, where a valley is formed at the intersection.At this moment, the valley is full of tents, and teams of soldiers are patrolling back and forth.

In the innermost part of the valley, in one of the largest tents, a banquet was being held.The one sitting on the Lord's seat was a young man.Although there was a smile on his face, it looked very forced.This young man is the Shuixi Xuanfu envoy Anshi, but he is actually a puppet.

On the boy's right side, there is a tall man with a beard with sideburns on his face.There was a big machete beside him, looking extremely fierce, this person was An Bangyan, the uncle of the boy Anwei.The entire tribe is in control, the de facto overlord of Shuixi.

On the left side of the boy is a middle-aged man who doesn't look very brave and always has a smile on his face.This person is Anwei's uncle, She Chongming who just came from Sichuan.

"Brother An, this time the Ming army is coming in menacingly, we can't take it lightly!" She Chongming retreated from Sichuan, and his strength was greatly damaged. Although it is nominally a union of the two, in fact it is An Bangyan who holds the real power.People under the eaves had to bow their heads, and She Chongming spoke very politely to An Bangyan.

Cut off a piece of meat with a knife, and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the blood on it. An Bangyan didn't look up, and said in a low voice: "I have 8 people here, all of whom are warriors. The number of Ming soldiers is less than [-]. It is still very easy to defeat them. When I wiped out the Ming army on this side, I turned my head to deal with the Ming army on the other side. As long as we wipe out these two Ming armies, the whole of Sichuan and Guizhou will be ours!"

Looking at An Bangyan, who was eating meat, a trace of worry flashed across She Chongming's face, and he was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the [-] Ming troops.An Bangyan underestimated the enemy, and She Chongming suddenly felt a little hopeless in his heart.But he wouldn't say anything, he was defeated by this Ming army, if he said anything else, it would only make An Bangyan look down on him.

Anzu, who was sitting on the side, didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and there was no expression on his face. He slowly cut the beef with the knife in his hand.But from time to time, a gleam of sternness flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the knife was also bulging with veins.

There was nothing to say all night, and the Ming army began to repair the bridge early the next morning, and it seemed that they did not find the ambush on the opposite side.These bridge builders are all working slowly, without any haste.

Sitting on the river beach and looking at the river flowing by, Sun Chuanting had a faint smile on his face, and he was constantly recalling that he had walked all the way in his heart.I was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, and I was not able to be an editor of Hanlin, nor was I able to be a scholar.He was directly appointed as the magistrate of Shangqiu County. After three years in office, he was conscientious and conscientious. It can be said that he was a good parent official.

Originally thought that the next inspection, if he got a good comment, he would be directly promoted.Even after beating Sun Chuanting to death, he didn't dare to think that he would be in such a situation. Emperor Tianqi had just ascended the throne, and he was dropped into the three camps by an imperial decree.The rank has not changed, it is still the seventh rank, but the treatment is far worse

However, what surprised Sun Chuanting came later. It was not until the three battalions that Sun Chuanting realized that what he was doing was not patrolling, but organizing and training the army.The excitement in my heart showed my ambition.

Looking at the place in the capital, Sun Chuanting secretly made up his mind that the emperor had the grace to know him.In this life, I want to expand the territory for the emperor and serve the country with the Chinese army.

"Marshal, the firearms battalion is almost ready!" General Zhou came to Sun Chuanting's side and said with a serious face.

Slowly nodded, Sun Chuanting said with a rather serious face: "Tell those repairing bridges, send a few more teams to repair them one by one. It's best not to let the people on the other side see when we're done, and then you Your men and horses must be ready!"

Facing Sun Chuanting, Zhou Shenjiang said loudly: "Don't worry, Commander! Just watch! A humble job will never embarrass the Commander."

Nodding his head, Sun Chuanting said calmly: "Go! Go down and get ready!"

Early in the morning three days later, Sun Chuanting got up early, and after breakfast, he ordered all the troops.The first wave of troops to cross the bridge was led by General Zhou Shen. There were a total of 1 people, of which [-] were from the Firearms Battalion. Everyone carried a long musket on their backs.

Looking at the soldiers walking past, Sun Chuanting pressed the hilt of his sword at his waist, with a bit of sternness on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty! The Ming army is starting to cross the river!" A scout ran in, saluted An Bangyan, and said respectfully.

Glancing at She Chongming on one side, An Bangyan suddenly picked up his big sword, and said with a big smile, "The day is finally here, come! Order troops, and follow my king!" (To be continued.. )
