In the cold winter night, the blood is frozen before it seeps into the ground.
The corpses of more than 6000 Zhenglan Banners were on the side of the battlefield, and the corpses of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were directly in front of the city wall.
The other Ming soldiers looked at the corpses on the ground, their eyes were full of fiery light.
This is military merit, this is white money, if you hack a few secretly, it will be a big deal.
Although they thought so, they didn't dare to do it.The scene on the battlefield today frightened them into a daze. Even if they were given ten guts, they would not dare to go.
At the same time, the messenger sent by Zhang Zhiji also arrived at the camp of the Longmen Army.
A soldier of the Longmen Army who was on patrol looked at the messenger who was running over, and hurriedly stopped him.
A ferocious Longmen Army soldier was holding a 56 and a half, pointing at him with a stern face, "Who are you? What do you want to do when you enter my Longmen Army at night?"
The messenger hurriedly said: "This man, I am a messenger sent by the British government. I came to look for your general, and by the way, ask which department you are from."
"You say you are a messenger sent by the British government? What evidence do you have? What evidence do you have to prove that you are a messenger sent by the British government?" The soldier of the Longmen Army pointed at him with 56 and a half, and said with a cold face.
"Yes, yes, I have the proof, it's on me." The messenger hurriedly took out a token made of brass from his pocket.
The soldiers of the Longmen Army looked at it for a moment, "Hand over the weapons on your body, and then follow us."
The messenger hurriedly handed over the weapons on his body as the soldiers of the Longmen Army said.The soldiers of the Longmen Army inspected him, and after finding nothing suspicious, they led him to Zhao Wen's big tent.
A moment later, the messenger was brought into Zhao Wen's tent.
Zhao Wen looked at the messenger, sat on the main seat, and asked in a deep voice: "Your British government sent you here, do you want to know my details?"
The messenger looked at Zhao Daniu, Song Hu and others in the big tent with fierce expressions on their faces, hurriedly lowered his head, and said slowly: "Not only my Duke, but even His Majesty wants to know the details of your lord. If you don't know your lord How can I show my merits for my lord?"
"Hahaha, it's interesting to show my merits. Since you have said so, then I will tell you. My official is Zhao Wen, the guard of Longmen Castle in Xuanfu Town." Zhao Wen sat up straight, looked at the messenger, and said loudly the way.
"Okay, since you already know my details, you should report back quickly. By the way, if they don't believe you, you can hand this over to them."
As he spoke, Zhao Wen took a piece of paper, stamped his big seal on it, and handed it to the messenger.
The messenger took the paper stamped with a big seal, thanked him, and then walked out led by several Longmen Army soldiers.
"Tsk tsk, it's only been so long, I can't hold back anymore, I want to know my details so much." Zhao Wen looked at the messenger who walked out, Yun Danfeng said softly.
"Hey, this is the only way to prove your ability." Zhao Daniu said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, who can be like your lord? Not to mention after Saerhu, even when it was placed in the temple master, there has never been such a big victory." Song Hu Can't help but agree.
"Yes, yes. Your Excellency is now the pillar of the imperial court. Compared with your Excellency, those so-called incomparably elite Guan Ning Army are not even as good as a pile of shit." Liu Wu also hurriedly said.
Listening to the flattery of these people, Zhao Wen stretched out his hand and pressed down, "Okay, okay, although it is said like this, but flattery is not like this. You go down first, by the way, today's big There are a little too many prisoners in the camp, so you have to serve snacks when patrolling at night. Besides, you must look after Mangurtai, this is a fat sheep."
To Zhao Wen, Mang Gurtai was, to put it bluntly, a prisoner similar to an ordinary prisoner, but to Chongzhen it was not necessarily so.
Zhao Wen thought, if the operation is good, maybe just a Mang Gurtai can exchange a lot of good things from the court.
When the messenger was hoisted up by the defenders on the city wall, Zhang Zhiji and Cao Huachun surrounded him excitedly.
"Can you find out where this Ming army came from?" Zhang Zhiji looked at the messenger and asked hastily.
The messenger dressed roughly and said: "I figured it out, I also saw the generals of the Ming army."
"What did he say?" Cao Huachun asked anxiously.
"Back to Eunuch Cao, he said that he is the garrison general of Longmen Castle in Xuanfu Town, Zhao Wen. By the way, he gave me this back."
As the messenger spoke, he took out the piece of paper with a big seal that Zhao Wen gave him.
Cao Huachun took the paper and looked at it carefully.
"Longmen Fort is guarding Zhao Wen, and it's him. Let me just say, which army can equip its subordinates with so many cannons, and also have so many strange firearms. With such wealth and power, it is estimated that only someone as capable as Zhao Wen Only people with money can afford it." Cao Huachun handed the paper to Zhang Zhiji, and then led Liu Changfu towards the palace.
"Changfu, how well do you know Zhao Wen?" Cao Huachun sat in the carriage, looking at Liu Changfu who was riding a horse and following beside the carriage.
Liu Changfu pondered for a while, and said, "Godfather, I don't know Zhao Wen very well. Anyway, I think he is a man of great ability."
"What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say?" Cao Huachun glared at Liu Changfu, and then closed the window on the carriage.
……
Zhao Wen took off the armor on his body, and when he was about to go to sleep, a personal guard ran in hastily.
Zhao Wen looked at the guard and said in a deep voice, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"My lord, Lu Daliang, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, Man Gui, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, are here."
Zhao Wen frowned tightly, "What are they doing here? Did they bring anything?"
"Back to my lord, they only brought a few personal guards, and nothing else. My lord, do you see me or not?" The guards half knelt on the ground and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Wen sat on the chair, thought for a long time, and said, "Let them in, I want to see what these people want to do."
The personal guard cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then went outside.
A moment later, Lu Daliang and others stood in Zhao Wen's big tent.
"Hehe, sit down." Zhao Wen looked at the people who came in and smiled slightly.
After Yuan Chonghuan saw Zhao Wen, his eyes shrank suddenly, "It really is you!"
"Hehe, what if it's me? So what if it's not me?" Zhao Wen sneered as he picked up the tea served by the guard next to him.
Lu Daliang glanced at Zhao Wen, then at Yuan Chonghuan, and looked at Zhao Wen with some doubts, "Brother Zhao, do you know each other?"
"It's not just acquaintance, it's too familiar." Zhao Wen glanced at Yuan Chonghuan contemptuously, and then said to the guard next to him: "Come here, sit down."
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhao Wen and snorted coldly.He didn't mean to go out, but sat down on the chair directly.
Although Zhao Wen wanted to blast Yuan Chonghuan out very much, it was not at this time. Zhao Wen still wanted to know what Yuan Chonghuan wanted to do when he came here.
When everyone sat down, Zhao Wen looked at them suspiciously, and asked, "It's getting late now, why are you not staying in your own barracks, why are you here?"
Lu Daliang looked at Zhao Wen, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Zhao, the reason why I came to you so late is to ask you for something."
"Please ask me something? What's the matter? Besides, what can I do for you?" Zhao Wen asked curiously.
Lu Daliang looked at Zhao Wen, scratched his head, and said slowly: "Your Longmen army killed so many Jiannu today, there are a lot of Jiannu and those fake slaves, I think Brother Zhao's manpower is a bit small, It's not easy to deal with, so I wanted to help Brother Zhao deal with these corpses."
Zhao Wen looked at Lu Daliang who was embarrassed, and instantly understood what Lu Daliang meant.
"Hahaha, if I'm not wrong, you want to get some Jiannu heads from me." Zhao Wen looked at Lu Daliang and laughed.
"It's not cheating, it's borrowing, it's borrowing. I will pay it back later." Lu Daliang hurriedly explained.
Zhao Wen looked at the eager Lu Daliang and the people who were looking at him, and suddenly understood that these people would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing tonight.These people probably all want to get a head from me.
Everyone looked at Zhao Wen, who was in deep thought, and became nervous for a moment.
Zhao Wen chuckled and said, "To be honest, these heads are not very useful to me."
When everyone heard what Zhao Wen said, they thought Zhao Wen was going to give it to them, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, these Jian slaves and fake slaves were all killed by my Longmen Army with great difficulty. Are you a bit of a white wolf with empty hands when you come to ask for them?" Zhao Wenyu turned around, squinted his eyes, Said in a cold voice.
Everyone's hearts hung again.
Lu Daliang saw Zhao Wen's posture, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, how could we be empty-handed wolves, we borrowed it."
"Yes, yes, we borrowed it." Man Gui, the chief soldier of Datong, said anxiously with a bandage on his shoulder.

Chapter 188 I Have a Condition
"Borrowed? Borrowed and seized? This is the first time I have encountered such a thing when I grow up." Zhao Wen looked at the crowd and kept sneering.
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhao Wen and smiled contemptuously, "Young man, I know that your subordinates are very powerful and your weapons are also very powerful, but there are some things that you must know.
In this world, whoever has the most soldiers and the strongest soldiers will not have the last laugh.Back then, Qi Jiguang's contribution and ability were not inferior to yours, but what?I don't think you don't know what happened to him, do you?
Young people, there is nothing wrong with being young and vigorous, but don't be too young and vigorous. "
"I said Governor Yuan, what do you mean by that?" Before Zhao Wen could speak, Man Gui frowned and scolded in a low voice.
It is well known that Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui are at odds.
Mangui was the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan back then, but because of Yuan Chonghuan, he was transferred to Datong.
Moreover, Man Gui is now shot and wounded by Guan Ningjun, which has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan.
So now when Man Gui heard Yuan Chonghuan's yin and yang voice, he felt very upset.
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Man Gui and cursed: "You barbarian, do you have a place to speak here?"
When Man Gui heard this, he glared at Yuan Chonghuan directly, "I haven't settled with you for letting your men shoot me with an arrow, yet you dare to be so arrogant and domineering."
"The thing I regret the most now is that I didn't let my men shoot you dead, you tartar." Yuan Chonghuan slapped the armrest of the chair directly, and angrily reprimanded.
Mangui came from the grasslands, which is well known.
Man Gui has always been very concerned about his background, so every time he fights, he always charges forward and builds up his military exploits.
But no matter how hard Man Gui works, there are always some people who like to talk about Man Gui's identity.
What's more, it is said that the reason why the Tatars can often break through the customs is because of the letter from Mangui.
When Man Gui heard Yuan Chonghuan's words, he stood up from his chair and cursed angrily, "What did you say?"
Yuan Chonghuan sneered and said: "Hehe, I said you are a Tartar, what can you do to me? Don't forget, this official is the Liaodong Supervisor personally appointed by His Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of War.
what about you?You are just a warrior. In terms of official position, I am older than you. In terms of connections, my teacher is the emperor Sun Chengzong.What are you, Mangui, to me? "
Hearing Yuan Chonghuan's words, Man Gui's temples twitched. He looked at Yuan Chonghuan, trembling like a furious beast.Because of the excitement, blood kept oozing from the bandaged shoulder.
Seeing this, Lu Daliang on the side hurriedly pulled Man Gui back, fearing that Man Gui would do something out of the ordinary.
Xuanzhen is not far from Datong. Although the relationship between the two is not very good, it is much closer than Yuan Chonghuan.
"Papa papa!" Zhao Wen looked at the scene in front of him and clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
"Wonderful, really wonderful. What Director Yuan said just now was really wonderful, I don't even know what to say." Zhao Wen clapped his hands and looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a playful face.
For Yuan Chonghuan, Zhao Wen is very disdainful.Yuan Chonghuan in history is not only conceited, but also extremely arrogant.It can be seen from the incident of beheading Mao Wenlong privately.
Zhao Wen admired Man Gui very much.This is a man who is brave, resourceful and loyal to state affairs.
Man Gui in history died in the battle to defend the capital in the second year of Chongzhen.Because of Zhao Wen's appearance, not only did Man Gui not die in battle, but he was still alive and well.
"To be honest, I really don't understand. Since Governor Yuan is so powerful, why did he come to me today? What about your Guan Ning army? Your tens of thousands of iron hoofs? Why did you lose so badly today? Miserable?" Zhao Wen looked at Yuan Chonghuan with sarcasm on his face.
Yuan Chonghuan sat on the chair, his face so gloomy that water dripped out.
"Hehe, Huangkou boy, you didn't know where you were playing with mud when I was fighting." Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhao Wen with a playful face, and said through gritted teeth.
If it wasn't for the purpose of getting some Jiannu heads from Zhao Wen, how could Yuan Chonghuan come to Zhao Wen?
After failing to defend the city, Yuan Chonghuan knew in his heart that if he didn't gain enough, he might be punished by the emperor.
The defense of the city is a mess today, and the defenders on the top of the city are not dumb, they will definitely report their performance to the emperor.In order to keep his official position, Yuan Chonghuan had to bow his head and come to Zhao Wen with a shy face.
"Hehe, you are powerful, you are really powerful, I am very curious now, why did you not notice when Jiannu detoured to Xifengkou? When Jiannu attacked the capital city, why did you retreat so quickly? I'm really curious about all this.
Is it true that you are a friend of Huang Taiji as others said? Zhao Wen looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a gloomy face, and asked jokingly.
When Yuan Chonghuan heard the words, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. What do you mean by that?Are you saying that I am Jiannu's spy?
However, Yuan Chonghuan can't explain this kind of problem too much. Once he explains it too much, others will only say that you are trying to cover up.
"Hmph, young man, you have to be responsible for what you say. Can you provide evidence to prove what you just said?" Yuan Chonghuan took a deep breath and asked, pretending to be calm.
Zhao Wen laughed, and said: "Then, can Governor Yuan prove that you are not? Can you produce evidence? If you can produce evidence, I will not only personally apologize to you, but I will also give you everything I have today. The harvest is given to you."
"Hehe, what you said is really interesting. How can I give you evidence for the rumors?" Yuan Chonghuan sneered twice, then sat on the chair without saying a word.
Lu Daliang looked at Zhao Wen, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, this Jiannu's head is very important to us, I hope Brother Zhao can help us."
Yuan Chonghuan needs the heads of slaves, and Lu Daliang also needs the heads of slaves.
Zhao Wen looked at the eager Lu Daliang, pinched his chin involuntarily, and began to think carefully.
To be honest, the heads of these Jiannu were really of little use to Zhao Wen.Even if these heads are handed over to the imperial court, the imperial court may not be able to give out the reward silver at one time.
Zhao Wen knew what the current imperial court was like.
It is better to take good care of your own cement factory than to expect the imperial court to spend so much money at once.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Wen said, "It's not impossible to lend it to you, but I can't lend it to you for nothing."
