The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 21 Small Expansion
Huang Shengning can use his loyal servants to slowly look for opportunities, and doesn't bother the people brought by Ma Shihu to help.

But he also had good intentions, so he had to be clever in his refusal, just let him retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Ma Shihu is a straightforward person, he has already made up his mind to fight Jiannu, and he is a little bit unconvinced when he hears Huang Sheng's implication that he is afraid that he will fail in success.

He was depressed: "Master Huang, the servants brought by the lower officials are all carefully selected good soldiers from the Liaodong army, and the lower officials select heroes with outstanding martial arts from among them. It should not be difficult to deal with ten or twenty Jiannu Next."

Huang Shengdao: "I don't doubt the fighting power and courage of the general and his subordinates. It's just that there are too many cavalry in ambush, and the target of shouting and neighing is too big to make Jiannu unaware."

Ma Shihu thought for a while, his mind is not very good at turning corners, it seems that what this lord said makes sense.

Huang Sheng looked at Ma Shihu's troubled look and said with a smile: "You don't need to think too much, general. I will definitely get ten Jiannu heads for you to use. If I am lucky enough to get more Jiannu heads, I will give them to the general. One, what does the general think?"

This kid got Huang Sheng's promise, he grinned and said: "Your Excellency is too polite, you are loyal enough, in the future, you can speak up if you need to be lowered."

After seeing Ma Shihu off, Huang Sheng returned to the living room. Everyone in the family knew that the lord had been promoted again, so they all came here.

The head of the family was promoted, everyone and You Rongyan knelt down and kowtowed to the county magistrate when they saw Huang Sheng.

Especially Gu San, in his memory, the county magistrates are all high officials with beards, and in a county with tens of thousands of people, they are existences under one person and above ten thousand.

It's unimaginable what the future will be like for the head of the family who is so young, and he secretly rejoices that the family's luck is so good that they don't have to worry about the future anymore.

Huang Sheng was also in a good mood, and tipped two taels of silver to the family members, and asked the four women to prepare wine and food, and set up a family banquet at night before everyone got drunk.

Qiaozhen, Laifeng and Gu Wang's mother and daughter went out to work happily, and all the pure men were left in the living room.

Huang Sheng didn't say a word about accepting the mission of the bounty hunter, and said to everyone: "Master Supervisor is so kind to the Huang family, I will repay it. What do you think?"

Everyone is talking about the same thing, and they must do their best for the boss.

Huang Mingli was still confidant, he said: "My lord, you should take us to kill Jiannu, our Huang family has nothing to do to honor Mr. Sun, only the meritorious service of killing the enemy has been reported to the supervisor Grace."

Everyone clamored to express their opinions again, wanting to find Jiannu to be unlucky.The morale of troops that have never suffered a loss is of course high. These servants have trained hard for a long time, and they all have the urge to try.

Even the reticent Cheng Quangong expressed his opinion: "My lord, we have no other skills, but a life. We are not afraid of death, and dare to fight Jian Nu."

Huang Sheng is a modern person, and he likes a team with the spirit of cooperation, thinking in one place and working hard in another. Sometimes a large number of people does not mean that they have combat effectiveness.

Huang Sheng said indifferently: "I'm still talking about the old saying, fighting is dangerous, and you may die at any time. What I want is a volunteer army who puts life and death aside. You can choose to stay. It doesn't matter. Everyone is afraid of death, and I am no exception."

Many people had heard this before the last ambush by Ningyuan Zhongzuo, and they all burst into laughter.

The Mongolian Heihu grinned and said: "My lord, don't tease the little ones. The little ones know that the big man is a hero. The strong general has no weak soldiers, and the little ones dare to risk their lives to serve the big one."

Han Kuan and Han Guangdao: "Our brothers will always volunteer to follow Your Excellency, and we are not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire. Wherever Your Excellency plans to plot to establish a slave, you can give orders."

This group of boys were all led badly by Huang Sheng. Knowing that Huang Sheng would not fight Jian Nu to death, it must be an ambush again, and they talked about how to plot Jian Nu.

Huang Shengdao: "In addition to the brothers from last time, I plan to bring Gu Shanhai, Gu San, you and your youngest son Gu Shanhe to stay at home with the women..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking, Gu Shanhai was overjoyed to hear that the adults were going to take him there, and Gu Shanhe was on the verge of crying when he heard that he was asked to stay at home with a woman.

Gu Shanhe knelt down in front of Huang Sheng with a plop and said, "My lord, you must bring the small one with you. The small one is also a man. The young one is the bravest. The small one can also load firecrackers and chop slaves with knives."

It turned out that this half-grown child had hurt his self-esteem.Huang Sheng said: "No, it's dangerous to fight, you two brothers always have to keep one of them, and if something happens, it won't make your family die."

Gu Shanhe said: "My lord, you can let the little brother stay..."

Gu Shanhai was not happy anymore, and interrupted him: "My lord usually teaches us to obey orders and obey orders, and my lord has already arranged for me to go with you, so don't talk nonsense."

Gu Shanhe just refused to follow him, he was determined not to stay at home.At this time, Gu San knelt down and said, "My lord, you are also the only child of the Huang family. You are not afraid of life and death to fight with Jiannu. How dare a humble craftsman keep his son at home? You take him too let's go!"

Huang Sheng needs to make a lot of preparations this time, and someone needs to use binoculars to observe the enemy's situation. There are really not enough manpower. Of course, it would be best if Gu Shanhe took the initiative to participate.

At this time, Gu San's mother-in-law, Gu Wang Shi, also came to the living room when she heard the news, Huang Sheng said to Gu Shanhe: "Although your father has agreed that you will follow me to kill Jiannu, but I still need to ask your mother's opinion. "

Gu Shanhe immediately jumped in front of Gu Wangshi, took her hand, and told the whole story of what happened just now.

Gu Wangshi immediately knelt in front of Huang Sheng and said, "My lord, you are able to kill the damned Jiannu yourself, why don't you want your own son to go."

As he spoke, he pulled his two sons and said to them: "You come to kowtow to the lord, and you must be smarter to follow the lord in the future. It doesn't matter if you lose your life, and you must not let the lord hurt you."

Huang Sheng was really moved when he heard the words of this ordinary woman at the lowest level in Ming Dynasty.

The scene of the Chinese people fighting against the Japanese devils came to mind one after another. There are too many poor people who have nothing to eat, and several sons of soldiers died under the guns of Japanese pirates. Yielding, they gave the government their only young son...

Huang Sheng suddenly felt that the responsibility was heavier than Mount Tai. These simple people who had chosen him wholeheartedly, he must give them food and clothing, give them a future, and give them hope.

These kind-hearted people handed over their sons to me. I must treat them kindly no matter what. I cannot let them die in vain. This time the ambush needs to be carefully planned to minimize casualties.

Huang Sheng still needs some labor to follow the layout of the battlefield, cut trees, dig holes, and carry things. In this era, there are no machines, so all have to rely on manpower. The only seven cavalry he has are the combat power to ensure his own safety. labor force.

Huang Sheng specifically asked Gu San, Han Kuan, and Li Dagang, who knew the customs of Liaodong well.

After learning about the situation of the Han people who had fled to Ningyuan, Huang Sheng told them that he planned to find some strong labor to arrange the battlefield.

Gu Sandao: "My lord, this matter is too easy. You can go directly to the Liaodong Han people who escaped and came here to recruit servants."

Li Dagang said: "People are not as good as dogs in Liaodong now, and adults are civil servants. It is a great thing for you to ask some people to be housekeepers. I am afraid that those people will fight to the death."

Han Kuan said: "The little one understands what the adults mean. The adults should find some strong men who have no worries, and it is best to have a blood feud with Jianu."

Just after noon, Huang Sheng and his party followed Gu San and the others to the refugee resettlement place in Ningyuan City. The situation here was terrible, worse than those craftsmen's dwellings.

Now that the weather has just gotten cooler, the people here will not freeze to death. If there is a snowfall, I am afraid that many people here will freeze to death.

It's okay because the place is dirty and messy, and there is not even a house that can shelter from the wind and rain. They are all nests with a few straw mats on top.

The officials in Ningyuan only provide two thin meals a day to keep them from starving to death, and they have no plans to rebuild their homes for the common people.

Huang Sheng knew that his heart was too soft to pick and choose in front of these people in need, so he asked Huang Dongshan to accompany him, and arranged for a few servants to follow Gu San to pick and choose people.

There are too many Han people here, and it is no problem to ask for 1000 people. Unfortunately, Huang Sheng can't afford it. This time, he only plans to choose ten people.

Huang Sheng told them seriously, don't want anyone who can't prove their identity, don't behave suspiciously, don't want anyone who speaks falteringly.

Gu San came to the shack area, directly found a small flag who was patrolling here, and explained to him the purpose of coming.

Seeing that Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao were both wearing the official uniforms of the General Banner, the little flag immediately nodded and bowed in agreement. He picked up a gong and beat it hard.

Hu la la, many people came here at once. It turned out that this was the sound of the gong starting to give out porridge. Huang Mingli was a little strange to see that everyone here hurried over with bowls.

Xiao Qi explained to him: "Sir, these people don't do anything, but they can run faster than rabbits when they hear the sound of the gong for eating."

Xiaoqi proudly said to the common people who were about to come to receive the porridge: "Don't worry, the rice porridge has already been put into the pot, and it will be there in a while. Now there is a big good thing waiting for everyone, but I don't know which of you will have it." good luck?"

All of a sudden, it became chaotic, and some people began to abuse this kid for being wicked, for having no food to eat and knocking on gongs.

Xiao Qi jumped onto a table and shouted loudly at the people below: "You white-eyed wolves, I was kind enough to find a way for you, and I was scolded by you, do you know what is good or bad?"

Huang Mingli saw that this kid was a talker, he didn't talk about business, he talked nonsense, and became impatient.

He jumped on the table and said to everyone: "My lord is the governor of Gaoyang County, and now he is General Zanhua under the command of the Liaodong Economic Strategy. "

Later, Huang Mingli regretted it all. He wore a brand-new general banner official uniform and stood on the table to show off.

When these Liaodong Han people heard the head of the General Banner say that the servants who had the opportunity to be civil servants rushed up desperately, they knocked down the table all at once.

When Huang Mingdao and the others pulled Huang Mingli out, no one could recognize him. He was covered in mud, his new official clothes were torn, and he was in an indescribable embarrassment.

It was Han Kuan and Han Guang who pulled out the Qi Dao at their waists and shouted loudly. These talents began to line up for selection according to the conditions required by the care three.

Huang Mingli and the others knew that the selection of these people should not be sloppy, as it was related to everyone's life and safety, so they carefully interrogated everyone, and did not reject anyone who did not have more than three fellow villagers to prove their innocence.

Of course, they all selected single men in their twenties, and each of them had Cheng Quangong, who was the strongest among them, try his hand.

Huang Sheng saw that they had been away for a long time before returning, and he was quite satisfied, which showed that they were serious about their work, but he was shocked when he saw Huang Mingli who was in a mess.

Huang Mingli didn't wait for Huang Sheng to ask, he took the initiative to say: "My lord, I didn't get injured in the humble job, but it's a pity that I have this new clothes. These people are too wild, and they have no rules."

The person chosen knew that this man in official uniform was the future patriarch, Lord Huang, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Gu Sandao: "My lord, the younger one picked 13 people, all of whom have been selected thousands of times. Sir, you can choose again and see which ten people you can bring back."

The servants will handle affairs and hand over the final decision-making power to Huang Sheng, deliberately leaving a margin, and let Huang Sheng see who to keep.
