Chapter 103 Salt Ding Wants to Compete for Merit

(0103)

[Today's third update is here~~~~Summoning recommendation tickets~~~~]

June 16th, noon.

The sun hangs unbiasedly in the middle of the sky, emitting light and heat at will. Without the slightest wind, the world seems to be a huge steamer, which is unbearable. The violent sunlight makes people dizzy and dare not look directly at it. In Zhang Zhun's memory, it seems that it has not rained since he traveled to this world.

The land on both sides of the Baisha River has been dried by the sun. It turned out that the dark red soil has been roasted into white by the sun. The Baisha River, which has been rushing in the past, has almost stopped flowing, leaving only a little river that is indestructible, flowing dyingly. In fact, even if the boundary is not cleared in advance, there is no big problem. Reeds and the like have already died.

drought.

An unprecedented drought.

Such droughts can be seen everywhere in northern China.

Both sides of the Baisha River were once deserted and there were almost no people. But today, both sides of the Baisha River were occupied by dense crowds. The quietly flowing river water isolated both sides. However, the distance between the two sides was still too close. It seemed that you could hear the sound of the other party's heartbeat.

The officers and soldiers who set out from Jimo County confronted the guards here.

On the north bank of the river, there were thousands of officers and soldiers. Their queues were quite loose and had no order. The flags were also messy, as if they had been wilted by the sun. At the front were three hundred salt dicks, followed by three hundred soldiers, and at the end were three hundred guards. Because it was too hot, no one was wearing armor. Everyone wanted to take off all their skins and cool them down. Fighting in such hot weather is indeed a pain!

On the south bank of the river is the escort of Fushan Station. Compared with the officers and soldiers on the north bank, their teams are much more neat. All the teams stood up solemnly under the leadership of their own team and their deputy. Although everyone was sweating and their military uniforms were already wet, no one complained about hard work. If so, Zhang Zhun would have kicked out of the escort early in the morning. This is how they trained on their daily military postures.

Don’t think that practicing military posture is a sign of stupid standing, but a sign of lack of brain power. In fact, practicing military posture is very effective. Standing down in half an hour without moving is already a big test. If you extend the time to half an hour or an hour, it will definitely be an incomparable challenge to people’s will. Especially in such cruel weather, those who can persevere can grit their teeth and persevere even if they encounter setbacks on the battlefield.

At the front, Yang Zixuan's guard team was 50 people in total and equipped with fifty tiger guns. They were divided into three rows and prepared to carry out three-stage shooting. The silver-white tiger guns shone brightly under the sunlight. They looked beautiful, but in fact they were a killer that devoured life.

The one who commanded the officers and soldiers to attack this time was Li Chengdong, the garrison of Laizhou. He was also the one who made the most profit this time. Not only did he share 20% of the profit, he also pushed his nephew Li Qink to the throne of the Thousand Houses of Fushan. Thinking of the large amount of fields that he was about to obtain and the wealth that was plundered from the military households, Li Chengdong couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Tan Yingde is also very strong. He is Sun Zhixie's confidant, so he naturally knows what Sun Zhixie means. Taking most of the profits of experience is Sun Zhixie's purpose. Except for money, everything else is a blush. But Tan Yingde is different. In addition to money, he also wants military achievements. After starting from Jimo County, Tan Yingde has been judging all the way to make as much credit as possible to himself.

After all, the inspector of the Salt Inspection Department is a ninth-rank sesame official, and his rank is too low. Tan Yingde really wants to continue to rise and shine his ancestors. Sun Zhixie is a fourth-rank prefect, and there are too many positions for him to choose from. However, the key is that he must not only satisfy Sun Zhixie, but also show his ability in some other aspects. Only in this way can he be promoted smoothly. Tan Yingde was so active this time, in order to win Sun Zhixie's favor.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Yinying was not in high mood. He had not gained much, only 20% of the profits of fine salt. Originally, there was a vacancies in the Thousand Houses of Fushan District, which should have been filled by the Wei Institute's own people, and this is the reason for this. However, it should not be absolutely necessary. He should not ask Sun Zhixie to participate in this matter, and decided to secretly operate the matter. After a few moves, the initiative was taken away by Sun Zhixie. Now Zhao Yinying is really a dumb person who is silly and cannot tell the pain. Even if he wants to solve this matter through Dusi, it is impossible.

If he asked Dusi to put pressure on Sun Zhixie, Dusi's own power would not be enough unless it was exerted to Sun Zhixie through the Ministry of War. However, if the Ministry of War came forward, Sun Zhixie would definitely find someone to come forward through Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren is the chief assistant and has a huge power. If this matter hits the top leaders and is exposed to the emperor, with the temper of Emperor Chongzhen, he will come down with an imperial edict and order the Jinyiwei to escort him, the commander of the small guard, to come to Beijing for punishment. It would be absolutely possible.

Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is also a master who recognizes money but not people. If Wu Mengming is not extorted, he will not be counted. Relatively speaking, the most kind person is Dongchang. Dongchang, which has always been jealous of others, was particularly docile during the Chongzhen period, and almost forgot the existence of Dongchang. The reason is that Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang, had no ambitions and was not cruel to others.

When Li Chengdong saw the guards lined up on the south bank, he looked like he was posing for the officers and soldiers, he couldn't help but say contemptuously: "I can't tell that these broken military households actually have the courage to line up to fight. Do you think that with their little ability, they can block the wheels of the army?"

Tan Yingde said disdainfully: "A group of frogs in the well, who have never seen the world, will make such a stupid decision. They will not cry for a while."

Zhao Yinying was very upset by a Pojun House on the left and a Pojun House on the right. He understood that these people deliberately mentioned this word, which was actually specifically disgusting him to show their superiority. His grandmother's war soldiers had a sense of superiority in front of the guards, and Zhao Yinying had nothing to say. War soldiers could fight. But when did even fucking Yanding look down on the guards? I am a dignified third-rank, you are the ninth-rank! He dared to mock me! If it weren't for the taboo Sun Zhixie behind Tan Yingde, Zhao Yinying would have cursed. He said lukewarmly: "Let's be careful not to be attacked by the other party halfway."

Li Chengdong glanced at Zhao Yinying contemptuously and said disapprovingly: "It takes conditions to attack halfway through the attack. Can those guys in the hands of the Pokémon House be able to attack us halfway through? I think they just want to use the ridges on the south bank to create some trouble when we land. We must not be too timid. We are all warriors, so how can we be timid and afraid of things?"

This was obviously a slap in Cho In-young in the face.

Tan Yingde also said disdainfully: "Old Zhao, don't be so nervous, we are sure to win! Look at these broken military households, there are only more than fifty muskets... These muskets were all stolen from Wang Shixin, right? I heard that they are the worst-quality ones in the garage office? They can't hit it five feet away?"

Lee Chengdong glanced at Zhao Yinying intentionally or unintentionally and said, "It should be."

Zhao Yinying felt even more fucked. Damn, even the ninth-rank mung bean sesame officer dared to call the third-rank commander "Old Zhao", really... Lao Zhao, your mother! The weapons of the garrison army are bad, that's right, but this is not caused by me. The court owed money and food from the garrison, and it hasn't been distributed for so long, so naturally everyone has no mind to do things. It would be good to be able to equip muskets. Looking at Shaanxi, some garrisons in Shanxi cannot even equip muskets. A thousand households can only kill more than a thousand taels of silver. What's that?

Tan Yingde shook his head and said without any concealment: "It's better not to have such a bad musket!"

Li Chengdong laughed dryly.

Zhao Yinying pretended not to hear it, and at the same time she felt secretly hated.

When they arrived at Baisha River, they noticed that the military households of Fushan Station were equipped with muskets. However, Baisha River was about twenty meters wide. At such a long distance, in the era when there were no telescopes and thousands of miles mirrors, they could only see that some people in the guards were using muskets. As for what muskets were used, they couldn't see clearly. According to common sense, they naturally regarded the muskets of the guards as Wang Shixin's. In their opinion, in addition to seizing them from Wang Shixin, where could Fushan Station get muskets? The foundation of each ward warehouse and the few people present knew it. It would even starve to death.

Li Qink said with a grim smile: "To set up a formation and fight with us is simply seeking death!"

Tan Yingde said with a smile: "Li Qianhu, should you come first, or should we salt dick come first?"

Li Qinke was called Qianhu, his blood was boiling, as if he had really become Qianhu in Fushan Institute. The broken military households on the other side would be under his jurisdiction, and he would be in charge of the life and death of these people. Extremely excited, he said eagerly: "Of course, our soldiers come first."

Tan Yingde looked around and felt that he was strong and powerful. Thinking of the prefect's order, he would definitely not let the war soldiers come out first, so he said with his seniority: "Li Qianhu, let's do it first!"

Li Qink hurriedly said, "Let's come first!"

When Zhao Yinying heard the two of them fighting for the first place, he felt very uncomfortable. When did the war soldiers and salt ding be so active? Didn’t he see the big fat meat? Damn! Have you forgotten that there is still our guard army? He couldn’t stand the arrogance of the two, and at the same time he regretted the military households on the other side. These military households seem to be brave but not resourceful. If the military households stick to Fushan City, the officers and soldiers might have to spend some effort to take Fushan City down.

Why did they choose to fight in Baisha River?

Isn't this intentional death?

Isn’t this intentionally giving a chance to be arrogant like a birdman like Tan Yingde and Li Qinke?

Tan Yingde couldn't wait, and he was determined to steal the first skill, shouting arrogantly: "Li Qianhu, you should just put the formation behind you! Let's go first!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered the salted men to cross the river first.
Chapter completed!
