The Sun Never Sets Great China

In the Taihu water village, the busy rescue and statistical work is going on intensely. I saw many familiar faces disappeared, and I felt guilty. I didn’t expect Huang Degong to hide an elite cavalry. Most of our army The casualties were all caused by this elite cavalry.

In the past two days, the spies reported that Huang Degong was building a ship and building a village, but there was no other movement for the time being.Huang Ziya came to see me, he was reporting the statistics of casualties.

After I sat down with Huang Ziya, Huang Ziya said: "We have 780 brothers who died, disappeared or were captured in this battle, four of them were seriously injured, and almost half of them were slightly injured. Our current people are only It's five thousand, leader, I'm going to add all the people in the cottage from 14 to [-] years old to the army, what do you think?" I nodded.Said: "I will call everyone tomorrow. I want to hold a meeting. Brother Ziya, do you think we can survive the imperial court's attack and develop?" Huang Ziya looked at me, smiled and said, "We don't have to worry about food here. Yes, there are fish and rice, but it is because we are too close to the food production area. If we grow here, we will be wiped out by the court with all our strength. Chief, think about it, why there were so many pirates in Taihu Lake before, but the court did not Encircle and suppress, when we unified the Taihu water bandits and grew stronger, they came to encircle us? Because our strength has become stronger, the Taihu water bandits have changed from a piece of loose sand to a force that makes the court worry about their food supply problems. And we If you leave Taihu Lake, one is that there is no danger to defend, and the other is that there is no food supply, so there must be a way to achieve both, that is, to recruit security first, to secure the heart of the court, and then use the war to develop our power. I contacted my Good friend Gu Yanwu, both he and Huang Zongxi agree with your ideas, but only if you can become the person in power can we implement our ideas. They are contacting Chen Zilong, who has always had a good impression of us, and Hou Fangyu, the enemy of the eunuch Wang Bao you killed. .Because I didn't even have a clue about the matter, so I didn't mention it to you, please forgive me, the leader." After hearing about Hou Fangyu, I knew that his best friend was Li Xiangjun, who was killed by the lustful emperor and Wang Bao. Maybe he wanted to do something to the emperor, but Wang Bao who did the fighting naturally became his enemy. I killed him just to avenge Hou Fangyu. Hou Fangyu knew many high-ranking officials, and many of them were his father's friends or juniors. It seems There is still hope in this matter.

I said: "Okay, do as you said, you continue to keep in touch with them, the immediate crisis must be resolved, come to a meeting tomorrow to discuss." The wound didn't feel itchy anymore. I lifted up my clothes and saw that the wound was gone.Huang Ziya was even more surprised to see that the wound he had personally applied the medicine to bandage was gone, and he was still stroking it with his hands. I immediately felt itchy, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay." Putting down the clothes, Huang Ziya looked Looking at me, I said: "The leader must be a god who came down to realize his grand wish. It's really amazing. With you here, why worry that his grand wish cannot be realized."

In the Juyi Hall of the Taihu Water Village, I looked at the officers of all ranks who were missing a lot of people below, and said: "We have suffered a lot in this battle, and I bear the primary responsibility. I didn't expect that they had two thousand cavalry hiding nearby. However, their losses were also great. Half of the cavalry was eaten by us. The spies reported that they also killed more than 2000 people, and there were more than 2000 injured. We will train water battles every day starting today. Since they have cavalry, we There is no way to fight them on land. After all, we only have a few war horses, most of them are farm horses, mules and donkeys. After defeating them, everyone go to prepare, and I will also train water combat with my brothers."

Fifteen days later, Huang Degong saw that the speed of shipbuilding was too slow, but it took more time to mobilize ships from other places. He wandered anxiously in the military tent. At this moment, a soldier came in from outside and said: "Report to the general, outside Hundreds of imperial forest troops have come, and they are said to be delivering the imperial decree, and they are outside the barracks." Huang Degong hurried out of the tent and asked Qi's generals to leave the barracks. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the barracks, he heard a sharp voice shouting: "The imperial decree has arrived. Hurry up and receive the imperial decree." Huang De led all the generals to kneel down and shouted long live three times, and the eunuch passed the decree to read the imperial decree.It turned out that Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Chen Zilong, Hou Fangyu and others requested and visited the ministers who spoke good words to the Taihu Revolutionary Army in front of the emperor and asked the emperor to recruit the Taihu Revolutionary Army. Originally, the emperor had a miraculous reaction to Zhang Huahan, the leader of the Taihu Revolutionary Army who killed Wang Bao. He was very curious about martial arts, and now he was interested. He planned to let Zhang Huahan be his imperial bodyguard, and then organize the Taihu Revolutionary Army into the Nanjing City Defense Army. The faction was recruited by Zhao Zhilong like this, and if Zhao Zhilong had an enmity with the Taihu Revolutionary Army, there would definitely be troubles.In the end, the emperor reorganized the Taihu Revolutionary Army according to the plan discussed by Shi Kefa and the ministers, and incorporated it into the Gaojie troops stationed in Xuzhou, and Zhang Huahan went to the capital to take a post, so that Zhang Huahan could be cut off from the Taihu Revolutionary Army.The imperial decree Huang Degong received was to let him supervise the reorganization of the Taihu Revolutionary Army.When Huang Degong heard this, he quit. He consumed nearly ten thousand troops, and the two thousand elite cavalry he had built at a high price were also disabled. Gao Jie took all the benefits. How could he swallow this breath.

But after the eunuch delivered the decree, he said softly to Huang Degong: "My family heard that many soldiers of Liu Liangzuo are near Luzhou. General, you should be careful. Next year's Northern Expedition, your soldiers and horses will be strong, and it will not be easy to gain military exploits? Why bother?" What about a thieves getting angry?"

What Huang Degong hated in his heart was that Liu Liangzuo must have come to investigate the situation of his own territory when he was not in his lair. If his army lost the battle, he must have taken his territory.If you think about it, if you continue to fight the Taihu Revolutionary Army, although you can win, your own casualties must be huge. It is most important to preserve your strength and expand your power during the Northern Expedition.

Huang Degong had no choice but to ask a soldier to go to the Taihu Water Village to invite Zhang Huahan, the leader of the Taihu Revolutionary Army, to receive the imperial decree. He also asked a few imperial guards to hold their waist cards to prove that it was the imperial decree sent by the emperor. After all, no one would believe the decree.

Originally, Huang Degong thought that Zhang Huahan, the leader of the Taihu Revolutionary Army, would send someone to take over the order. After all, coming here is life-threatening, so he just shirked it because he was sick or something. If he himself would be like this.But he didn't expect Zhang Huahan to follow the person who sent the message, and a person who didn't have any of his subordinates came swaggeringly. If many of his subordinates hadn't told him that the person was the very powerful Zhang Huahan, he wouldn't have believed this tall and thin young man. He was the one who killed his fierce general Wang Mengda while surrounded by the army.

After Zhang Huahan received the imperial decree, Huang Degong asked Zhang Huahan to release the captured soldiers of his army, especially his nephew Huang Xiqing, and asked Zhang Huahan to return his five cannons, and Zhang Huahan also agreed.

Zhang Huahan asked Li Gaoshun to take more than 500 soldiers and more than 3000 family members, old and young, etc. out of the mountain village first, and then came back secretly. Thousands of 800 people reported to Gao Jie's department. Zhang Huahan asked them to bring a lot of silver to bribe Gao Jie's people and Gao Jie, in order not to dismantle the establishment and hold his troops firmly in his hands.

After Zhang Huahan arranged for them, he followed the eunuch who passed the decree to Nanjing, and Huang Degong sent five hundred soldiers to guard them.On the way, Zhang Huahan bribed the eunuch who delivered the decree with two pieces of gold leaves, and invited all the generals to drink, and made friends with everyone, and became friends with this group of people.Because his appetite and drinking capacity are more than ten times that of ordinary people, he often gets everyone drunk and he is still eating and drinking. The invincibility at the wine table makes him feel very comfortable and refreshed on the road.

A few days later, at the Hall of Wuying in Nanjing, Zhang Huahan waited for a long time and heard the emperor's call outside the hall. He immediately went to the hall and bowed down three times and kowtowed nine times to the emperor as taught by the etiquette officials.The emperor asked him to get up, and only then did Zhang Huahan see the appearance of Zhu Yousong, Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yousong was in his 20s, with an average appearance, but his eye sockets were blue and his face was a little pale. At first glance, he knew that it was caused by excessive indulgence. Zhu Yousong Song is a lustful emperor with a reputation, and it seems that he lives up to his name.

Zhu Yousong, Emperor Hongguang of the Nanming Dynasty, looked at this man who was said to be very powerful. He was about the same age as himself, with a handsome face, tall stature, and a thin body.Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong said: "Zhang Huahan, I heard that you are very good at fighting, so I specially called two of the most powerful guards around me, and you will compete with them. If you win, I will make you a fourth rank." Guard with a knife to protect my safety." Zhang Huahan kowtowed to thank him.

Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty went to the stand next to the open space where the contest was being prepared. Zhang Huahan saw that his opponent was a short black-skinned man with a bald head and a burly man half a head taller than himself.

Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong sat down on the high stand surrounded by the crowd. Looking at the two carefully selected masters below, he guessed in his heart whether Zhang Huahan could win. In fact, when Wang Baogang died, he killed Zhang Huahan. Wang Bao's matter still has hatred in his heart. After all, Wang Bao is very good at handling things, so he died like this.It's just that due to the passage of time, he also forgot about Wang Bao. This time, he selected the two most skilled guards from the inner guards, and secretly ordered them to kill Zhang Huahan. If they could kill Zhang Huahan, they would It shows that although Zhang Huahan's kung fu is high, he is not as good as the guards around him, so he saved his face for Wang Bao's matter. If Zhang Huahan can defeat or kill the two of them, where can he find such a good guard? The eunuch and his own face are not as important as his own life. He is a fool, but he is not a fool. He commanded, but in fact these people are not very loyal anymore, although none of them will be blatantly against him, but it is possible for any of these high officials to send someone to assassinate him for some purpose, and he has to do it for him. His own life is in consideration, which is why he wants to use Shi Kefa who is loyal to him to recruit people to form the Imperial Forest Army that only obeys his orders. Now if Zhang Huahan, who has nothing to do with any other forces, is really that powerful, as long as he treats him favorably , don't worry that he is not faithful to himself.

Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong was thinking about something, when he heard the eunuchs shouting in the contest space, he came back to his senses. The eunuch shouted: "Two contestants, please come forward and salute His Majesty the Emperor."

The short, dark-skinned man with a bald head went first, walked to the center of the open space with Zhang Huahan, and after saluting to the emperor in the high stands from a distance, the martial arts competition began.The black-skinned short man with bald head clasped his fists and said, "I'm a fourth-rank guard with a knife in Da Nei. My name is Wu Tieli, Zhang Huahan. Remember my name, so I can tell Lord Hades when I get to the underworld! Haha." Zhang Huahan also clasped his fists and said: "My next Zhang Huahan, you make a move."

Wu Tieli's body became shorter and lower, and his two palms danced strangely, attacking Zhang Huahan's chest, waist, and crotch. He only felt that his two palms were numb, and a numbness went from his arms to his body, and entered his internal organs. He suddenly felt that not only could he not move, but his internal organs were going to be covered by the strange force. When Zhang Huahan's palms touched his shoulders when he was injured by the powerful destructive internal force, Wu Tieli felt that the weird and powerful destructive internal force in his body was sucked back by Zhang Huahan. Wu Tieli could not know that the other party was showing mercy , wanted to thank him, but his whole body seemed to be exhausted, his arms hurt, and he fell to the ground weakly.Zhang Huahan said softly: "You can recover in half a month. If you want nothing to happen, the emperor will think that you deliberately let the water go, and will not let you go." Wu Tieli thought about it, the emperor and a group of ministers are laymen Well, if they admit defeat without anything, they don't know how they lost, and they must think they are letting go.He looked at Zhang Huahan gratefully and nodded.

Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong and a group of ministers were going to watch a wonderful martial arts scene, but one of the two of them fell to the ground and couldn't move, which was very boring.
