The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1187
[1187. Chapter 1132 Two Tigers Fighting]
Fang Zhengqing was happy.
A smile spread across his face.
When young people are in a good mood, they will inevitably want to do something happy.
He turned around and shouted at the snake-like team behind him: “Xu Pengju, come here.”
“Xu Pengju is missing,” said a young man from behind.
Fang Zhengqing was angry: “Where did the dog go?”
“I saw he was in the baggage train of the rear team.”
Zhu Zaimo and Fang Zhengqing looked at each other and then rode towards the rear team.
Sure enough, Xu Pengju was sitting on the baggage cart, rummaging for something.
When he saw Zhu Zaimo and the others coming, he trembled: “Your Highness, Fang Tongzhi, I have something important to report.”
Zhu Zaimo raised his whip: “What’s the matter?”
“I brought some treasures, and I’m looking for them now. “Hey, I remember it was in this car.”
Zhu Zaimo asked him to stop the car. Xu Pengju opened the canvas, stuck his butt out, and almost stuck his head into the canvas. Finally, he came out with a huge baggage in his arms. He said happily: “Haha, I found it, I found it.”
When they saw the burden, everyone’s expressions changed. The driver was so frightened that he jumped out of the car, and the others backed away. Zhu Zaimo and Fang Zhengqing The two of them even rode away from each other.
This is…a dynamite pack…
from Flyball Camp.
After the Zhengde Guard was established, I went to the Flying Ball Camp to observe.
In the warehouse where the flying ball camp is located, there are piles of such explosive packets. It is said that they are all filled with gunpowder, making a huge noise, and are also mixed with countless deadly iron filings and steel balls. If thrown from the flying ball, the power is astonishing. very.
But this thing… is not very stable. If it encounters a spark, it may explode.
Yang Biao had warned him sternly at the beginning not to touch him easily.
Each of these explosive packages is printed with a skull’s head to indicate danger.
Zhu Zaimo roared angrily: “Xu Pengju, you bitch, why did you bring this?”
“Didn’t you say you were going on a safari before? So I brought it…” Xu Pengju held the explosive pack and danced: “Exploded rabbit” Ah…”
“…”
Silence.
Zhu Zaimo was stunned.
Looking at the ‘warrior’ who was still holding the explosive pack, he was as happy as celebrating the New Year.
Zhu Zaimo suddenly had the idea that he had been too harsh on Xu Pengju before. This guy’s head was broken.
“How many have you hidden?”
“Not many, dozens of bags!”
“…”
Zhu Zaimo shuddered.
If… due to poor transportation or other reasons, this thing explodes…
“Xu Pengju, put down this explosive pack and come over. I have something to tell you.” Fang Zhengqing said.
Seeing that everyone was avoiding him, Xu Pengju was happy: “But come here, I have to guard. They don’t need to fry the rabbits now. Let’s blow up the rebels.”
“…”
Before killing the rebels, first… You can’t blow yourself up into the sky.
This is the premise of everything.
Zhu Zaimo was speechless and didn’t know whether he was happy or sad.
But… it seems… I finally have a weapon.
Then, he looked at Fang Zhengqing: “We don’t have a flying ball, how should we throw it?”
This thing is too powerful and quite heavy, so it is a bit difficult to throw it by hand.
Fang Zhengqing frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up: “I know, I know, my father once told me the story of tearing up Japanese pirates with his own hands… My father…”
“Tell me the important point.” Zhu Zaimo said.
Fang Zhengqing squinted: “We can make a homemade stone cannon.
The stone cannon…
the so-called stone cannon is nothing more than a trebuchet.
It is quite simple to make. Then, light the explosive package and use the stone cannon to throw the explosive package out. , before throwing it out, you have to light the fuse, and then…
“Not bad. “Zhu Zaimo nodded: “You can try it, then give the order to speed up and set up camp quickly, and then…”
Xu Pengju held the explosive pack and looked at everyone who was afraid to step forward, and was happy.
Finally, there was a time when he was feared by others.
Fang Zhengqing lowered his voice and said to Zhu Zaimo: “Go back and beat him again. “
…
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, with their men and horses, had been walking in a hurry for dozens of days, and they were already out of breath. But the Zhengde Guards had already been marching for a day. Obviously… these young men were also walking in a hurry, and they seemed to have no idea about traveling. Hunter, looking forward to it.
“Are those guys from Zhengdewei born in the year of Ox? “Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help but scolded, he couldn’t catch up. He inquired about nearby villages along the way, and indeed… saw a group of such people passing by more than a day ago.
But… they kept walking without rest, and in a hurry, and the nearest camp site was more than eighty miles away from the capital.
Madman…
Zhu Houzhao knows how to use troops.
Of course, it is clear that if an army reaches a certain size and moves in a hurry, there will be a lot of laggards.
This Zhengde Guard is simply an animal. So far, we have never encountered any stragglers along the way, and their endurance is so strong.
Zhu Houzhao could bear it, but the evil guards behind him couldn’t bear it after marching in a hurry for a while. There were thousands of people, but hundreds were missing at once.
Zhu Houzhao knew that he could not continue chasing.
But Fang Jifan was so troubled that he had to continue chasing.
It was inevitable that Zhu Houzhao would start to educate Fang Jifan: “The soldiers have already walked more than forty miles and the food is too much to bear. This unscrupulous guard is a new army. How can he bear it? If we continue walking, I don’t know how many people will be left behind. What’s more, , they are tired and hungry. If this continues, they will have to mutiny. Lao Fang, this is common sense. You have never led a real army, so you don’t know what’s going on.”
“But why…Zhengdewei can do it?”
Zhu Houzhao: “…”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly became furious: “How did I know!”
“Zhengde guards can do it, but bad moral guards can do it!” Fang Jifan shouted.
“No.” Zhu Houzhao said: “I really can’t, I lied to you like a puppy. This is common sense. This is not a place outside the desert and the Great Wall. If it were a place outside the desert and the Great Wall, it might be better…”
“Then why can Zhengde Guard ?”
“…”
Zhu Houzhao felt his face burning.
God knows…why Zhengdewei can.
Zhengde is like an animal.
Zhu Houzhao said: “Okay, okay, let’s take a break and continue our journey later, that’s all.”
Zhu Houzhao, who was humming, touched his belly and sighed: “I think, Zai Mo and the others… don’t As for doing impulsive things, they will definitely go up the mountain. As long as they go up the mountain, it will be easier.”
Fang Jifan sneered: “That’s because you don’t know what a naughty kid is.”
Zhu Houzhao was worried again.
At this time, I don’t know if my father has returned to Beijing.
If the worst-case scenario really happened, I…should start…running away. Where would I go? Do you want to bring Shang Shang to succeed you?
Fang Jifan, on the other hand, sighed: “That bitch Fang Zhengqing is disobedient. Our old Fang family is a clean and honest family, how could such an ignorant guy come out? The prince asked him to go to Xiaowutai Mountain He just went on a safari. He really doesn’t know what the world is and what a good boy he is, he would fall for such a trick!”
He was extremely anxious.
If they were serious, this group of teenagers would have been killed by the rebels.
I…should be arrested and die to apologize.
But I don’t want to die yet.
After all, he still has to remain useful and work for the benefit of all people in the world.
He clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head, suddenly missing Zhu Zaimo and Fang Zhengqing again. Oh, there is also a disciple who gets beaten up all the time. Whose name is Xu?
………
The Zhengde Guards have begun to set up camp.
Immediately after that, a sentry was sent out, and the rest of the people immediately rested where they were, had a meal and a meal, and then boiled hot water, keeping every bow, arrow, and sword close to their body.
If there is still time, everyone will take a nap.
After all, before the rebels came, the sentry had enough time for everyone to prepare in advance.
Xu Pengju was still holding his explosive bag and felt that even walking was very awkward.
A group of soldiers, led by a guy named Shu Ye, went to chop wood nearby to make stone cannons.
This person’s family is a craftsman, and he is very familiar with carpentry.
A stone cannon with such a simple structure is quite handy.
Zhu Zaimo took Fang Zhengqing on horseback and jumped up to a small hill. Standing at the highest point, he took out a telescope and observed the terrain in all directions.
“This place matches the map. There is a river nearby, and the front is quite open…”
He murmured, and then said: “Look, the place we are in is on a higher ground, so it can be considered occupied. The location is favorable, when the time comes…”
…
a team of people and horses galloping wildly.
Seven to eight hundred people came from the direction of Datong.
The order they received was to attack a group of soldiers and horses. As for why they attacked, most people did not know. The only person who knew about this was Chen Yan, the commander of the Dai Wang Guard.
Chen Yan was considered a veteran general. He had been favored by King Dai and was completely devoted to King Dai.
Of course he knew that once the news about Dai Wang’s poisoning came out, not only would everyone in Dai Wang’s palace die without a burial place, but he, as Dai Wang’s confidant, would also face what kind of outcome.
This is taking a risk, and the risk is extremely high. If you fail, you will die without a burial place.
Even if the emperor’s grandson and those young men were kidnapped, the court would not dare to act rashly and attack His Highness, but Chen Yan could only sigh as to what he would face in the future.
But what can be done? When things have reached this point, there is no other way.
Seven to eight hundred people rushed all the way, and now, only four to five hundred people are still following them.
Most of the rest fell behind.
But now, I can’t care about this anymore.
He needs to complete the order to the letter. Only in this way can he earn a living.
As for the so-called Zhengde Guards, Chen Yan never looked down upon them. The Dai Wang Guards were selected from the border areas. Although they did not dare to practice unscrupulously and attract too much attention from the court, they were considered to be the most respected ones in Datong. An elite army.
Chen Yan never believed that the Zhengde Guard, which was only used as a toy to accompany the emperor’s grandson and had only been established for a few months, could fight against this generation of Wang Wei.
“Report!” A scout came on Pegasus: “Twenty miles ahead, we found a military horse…”
Chen Yan’s eyes shone with light and he murmured: “It is indeed here!”
