Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 65 The Arrogant Huang Degong
Long before Zhu Yousong left the capital, Huang Degong received an order from the Ministry of War, saying that His Majesty has an order to pay for the four towns.

Huang Degong was a little flattered, and when he was happy, he hurriedly gathered his main generals together. He was born in the army and could not read a few words, and his speech was rough: "For me, since the emperor thinks so much of us, we have to make a fucking Come on, no matter who is the angel officer to escort our food and pay, then let them see that we are not just for nothing!"

"Master Hou understands! I understand, Commander! Don't worry, Master..." The generals under his command were obsequious, with different titles.

Huang Degong had eight commanders alone, all of whom were capable generals, each of whom was fought on the battlefield, such as Tian Xiong, Ma Degong, Qiu Yue, Zhang Jie, Huang Ming, Chen Suggestions, etc., are all generals with outstanding military exploits. These people all have the essence of warlords. Not convinced, only Huang Degong.

From this day on, Huang Degong began to order his subordinates to step up their military training. He often appeared in the military field with his helmet on and his iron whip in his hands. , Under his influence, Chuzhou, Hezhou and other places under his rule set off an upsurge of military training.

On this day, that is, the day when Zhu Yousong came to Chuzhou, Huang Degong was watching the soldiers practice attacking and defending in the teaching field. Huang Degong also became interested, untied the cloak and gave it to the general, tightened his battle belt, stretched his hand to the side, and shouted: "Whip!"

The two soldiers took something from the bird's wing hook tied to a black-cocked horse not far away, and they lifted it up, and it turned out to be an iron whip.

His iron whip is 1.5 meters long, the thickness of a duck egg, and it is made of muddy iron and condensed steel. It weighs more than fifty catties. Huang Degong snatched it from two relatives. The heavy iron whip is as light as a rolling pin in his hand. , He didn't get on the horse either, and after all the soldiers had left the scene, Huang Degong held the whip in his hand and danced on the spot.

At the beginning, everyone could understand each move clearly, but later he danced faster and faster, the figure flickered as fast as flying, the sound of whips whistled, his momentum was like howling the wind, and the applause and applause of the surrounding soldiers and generals was like the waves of the sea. .

After the practice, Huang Degong took a few deep breaths, and handed the whip back to the guards. Because the weather was too hot, his face was covered with sweat after dancing the whip. Some guards took sweat towels, and The soldiers handed over the tea, Huang Degong wiped his face, took a few more sips of the tea.

Just at this moment, a scout ran over and knelt down on the ground, "My lord, the court has come, and it is less than fifty miles away from Chuzhou City."

Huang Degong grinned happily, "Oh, it's for Lao Tzu, it must have come to send us food, how many people have come, and who is the angel official?"

"Back to Lord Hou, there are about [-] people. The angel officer is Li Guofu, Li Guofu, Eunuch Li, who is the supervisor of rites and the supervisor of the horse. He also has the imperial decree. He is accompanied by Zheng Hongkui, the commander of Jinyiwei and the admiral of the Beijing camp. You Hurry up to take a shower and change clothes to prepare to receive the order, I'm afraid it will be too late."

All the soldiers felt that the emperor's grace was great, and their faces were bright. Eunuch Li and Zheng Dusi came in person. This batch of food should be quite a lot, especially Huang Degong's face was full of joy, and he asked casually: "How much food?"

"This little guy doesn't know, it's just that he didn't see a car or a bag among the thousands of people."

"Huh?" Huang Degong was taken aback with a smile on his face, and all the soldiers felt that something was wrong. There was not a grain car for the escort rations. Could it be that it was all silver, and the treasury had no food. Let us buy the military rations ourselves, but even so, the money had to be used Carriage and horses?
Huang Degong was surprised, and sent out scouts to investigate again. Half an hour later, several scouts came back, and they said exactly the same as the first scout.

"What the hell is going on? Has the situation changed? They're just here to preach the imperial decree, not to transport food and pay?" Huang Degong looked melancholy.

Zhang Jie, the commander-in-chief, comforted: "Master Hou, maybe the angel officer came first, and the food and payment truck is behind. The emperor said that since he said to give us food and payment, there should be nothing wrong."

The commander-in-chief Ma Degong didn't take it seriously, "Master Hou, a series of major incidents have happened in the capital recently. The emperor cleaned the factory guards, Ma Shiying and his son, Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guoyan, etc. All these powerful ministers were executed. Lord Hou is a subordinate of Governor Ma. The emperor wants to If you go to war, will it be detrimental to Lord Hou?"

Tian Xiong, the chief soldier, snorted, "Master Hou captured Ma Wu, killed Wang Xingguo, and broke Zhang Xianzhong. He was loyal to Daming, went through life and death, and made great achievements in battle. What is he for?"

"Just guessing, you all shut up for me, get ready, and follow me to meet the mission!" Huang Degong stopped the two generals, but he also reminded himself that he had to be careful.Immediately take a shower and change clothes, and 300 people will go out of the city to greet you with your own soldiers.

When they got near the city gate, Huang Degong led his troops to the top of the city again, condescending, and saw a group of people parked near the moat. Of course he knew Li Guofu and Zheng Hongkui. Looking further away, the official road under the setting sun is completely empty, and there are no vehicles, horses or pedestrians within ten miles.

After reading it, Huang Degong was overshadowed, but he didn't say anything, and led his men to the city. Because of Huang Degong's delay, it was too late...

Zhu Yousong saw that the coming men and horses were all brightly armored, and the horses were like joyous dragons. There was a rush of horseshoes stepping over the moat, and they stopped more than twenty steps away from Zhu Yousong.

The leading general, with broad shoulders and three pavilions, is about forty years old, with a princely face, a pair of thin eyes shining with alertness under two thick eyebrows, a big mouth fork, three black beards, a bronze helmet on his head, and a Chain chain armor, red war robes on the outside, a flat belt on the waist, a pair of ground tiger boots, sitting on a black horse, and a pair of large iron whips on the hook of the bird's wings are eye-catching.

Zhu Yousong has sharp eyes, although he has never seen these generals, but looking at Chen Shi's outfit, he can guess who the leading general is.

"This should be the forced landing of the Fifth Battalion, breaking Zhang Xianzhong's Huang Chuangzi. He is really a bit of a hero." Zhu Yousong was thinking in his heart, Huang Degong, who hadn't got off his horse, just pretended to be Li Guofu and Zheng Hongkui here, clasped their hands and said: "Mr. Huang Degong of Yasukuni welcomes you all on assignment."

Li Guofu and Zheng Hongkui were unhappy, even if you don't know that Shengjia is here, but we are angel officials and imperial envoys, if you don't wait to greet us, at least you should get off your horse and kneel down to welcome you, because you won't even get off your horse when you see the imperial envoy. Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?Looking at the deputy generals around Huang Degong, they all raised their heads high, showing their arrogance, which is really hateful.

Not only the two of them were unhappy, but the factory guards such as Zu Hai and Li Quan, who were secretly escorting Zhu Yousong, were also not angry. Look, we will immediately bring you and other arrogant people down for questioning!

　Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiaocao wishes everyone a happy holiday.Kneeling for all kinds of support.
