"That's for sure, we can't be white wolves empty-handed, as long as it is a condition that we can meet, you can mention it." Lu Daliang knew there was something to be done when he heard Zhao Wen say this, so he hurriedly said.

"The conditions are not difficult. For you, it is just something within your ability." Zhao Wen pinched his chin and said with a smile.

Man Gui looked at Zhao Wen and nodded, agreeing with Lu Daliang.

"Where is Governor Yuan? Do you agree?" Zhao Wen looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, just say it." Yuan Chonghuan snorted coldly and murmured.

"In this case, then I will say it. My condition is very simple, that is, I want to lend you my soldiers."

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, the entire big tent became extremely silent.

Except for the people on Zhao Wen's side, everyone else held their breath and looked at Zhao Wen blankly.

What condition is this?Lend us troops?

"General Zhao, why can't I understand what you said?" Man Gui couldn't figure it out for a while, and looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Wen laughed, and said: "What's not clear, I just lent you my soldiers. In normal times, if you encounter something, you can recruit them, and you don't have to pay the military salary. I will pay the military salary. "

When Lu Daliang heard this, he became excited instantly.

How powerful Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses are can be seen clearly in today's battle.If he really lent the soldiers to himself, wouldn't he be able to sit back and relax?

If there is an attack from Jiannu or Tartars, you only need to transfer Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses. With the strength of Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses, will you still lose the battle?Wouldn't the credit come at your fingertips at that time?

With Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses, he can even abolish his own soldiers and horses, leaving only some servants.I can eat all the military pay issued by the imperial court.

The more Lu Daliang thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally looked at Zhao Wen with excitement in his eyes.

"Brother Zhao, I agree with your terms." Lu Daliang said anxiously.

Man Gui listened to Zhao Wen's words and pondered carefully.

After a while, he noticed something unusual in it. Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses were tyrannical. After getting Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses, could he hold them down?If he can't control them, how can he control his subordinates in the future?

Although Zhao Wen said that he could recruit at will, but when the time comes, will he really be able to use it?

If things go on like this, will my subordinates still listen to me?When the time comes, don't you have to ask Zhao Wen's permission first for what you want to do?In this way, wouldn't he become a puppet?Wouldn't he be directly controlled by Zhao Wen?

Yuan Chonghuan sat on a chair and thought about it. After he figured out the twists and turns, he stood up and looked at Zhao Wen angrily, "What do you want to do? Are you trying to control the court soldiers and horses?" ? You are rebelling, and you want to rebel?"

Yuan Chonghuan's voice was stern, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, Lu Daliang yelled in dissatisfaction, "Yuan, you black-faced scholar, do you know what you are talking about? Rebellion? I think you are the one who wants to rebel.

Brother Zhao is clearly doing this for our sake, for the sake of Daming's Jiangshan Sheji.Brother Zhao knew that our soldiers and horses were not good enough to defeat Jiannu and Tartars, so he came up with such an excellent idea.

Brother Zhao lent us his soldiers and horses to fight against the Jiannu and Tartars. You can find faults in such a good thing.Now you say Brother Zhao wants to rebel, what is your intention? "

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Lu Daliang, who was blushing and had a thick neck, and scolded: "You are really stupid like a pig, stupid like a pig. How can there be someone as stupid as you among my generals in Ming Dynasty? Hmph, I don't want the head of Jiannu, you guys Do it yourself. By the way, let me tell you a word, don't play with fire and set yourself on fire."

After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out with his personal guards.

Lu Daliang looked at Yuan Chonghuan who went out, and said cursingly: "What the hell, isn't it just a Liaodong governor? What's there to be arrogant about?"

Zhao Wen squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Chonghuan who walked out, without any expression on his face.

Man Gui looked at Zhao Wen and asked, "General Zhao, I want to know why you did this?"

"For what? General Man, don't worry about what it is for. We don't need to pay the military salary. We get a soldier for nothing, and we can also get the head of a slave. Why do you care about those?"

Before Zhao Wen could speak, Lu Daliang began to persuade him.

Zhao Wen looked at Man Gui, smiled, and said: "My meaning is actually similar to what Mr. Lu said. I believe you can see the strength of our Ming army in this battle. Let me put it harshly, If there is no me today, do you think the capital can still be defended?

There are so many soldiers and horses in Jiannu, and they are rampant in the capital, do you just look at it like this? "

Man Gui frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Although you said so, I still can't believe that your thinking is like this."

"Haha, what do you believe or not? I know what you are thinking in your heart. What you think in your heart is similar to Yuan Chonghuan's. You are afraid that I will use my own soldiers to control you.

But I ask you to think about it, if I was really rebellious, why didn't I just lead my troops to rebel?You also saw it today. With my soldiers and horses, do you think there are places in this world that I can't go to?Who do you think can stop my attack in the Ming Dynasty? Zhao Wen looked at Man Gui, who was frowning tightly, and laughed loudly.

Lu Daliang looked at Man Gui, who was frowning tightly, and persuaded him: "Mr. Man, Brother Zhao is right. With the soldiers and horses of Brother Zhao, who can stop the whole court?

Even if the soldiers of the entire Ming Dynasty were drawn out, I guess they would collapse instantly under Brother Zhao's attack.

If Brother Zhao really wants to rebel, is there still a need to beat around the bush?Don't be disturbed by Yuan Chonghuan. "

Hearing what Zhao Wen and Lu Daliang said, Man Gui couldn't help but shake his thoughts just now.

Yes, if he really wants to rebel, why is he beating around the bush like this?With such a powerful force, why not directly rebel?

When Man Gui thought about all this clearly, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "General Zhao, I agree with your terms."

"Haha, is this decent! Since you agree to my terms, I won't hide them anymore. I'll give you the heads of a thousand Jiannu Zhenglanqi and three thousand heads of fake slaves. What do you think?" Zhao Wen looked at Man Gui and asked.

Man Gui shook his head hastily, "No, absolutely not. I have a total of more than 4000 soldiers and horses, and now I have 4000 heads. No one will believe this if it spreads."

"Then how many would you say?" Zhao Wen looked at Man Gui.

"Five hundred heads of slave slaves, maybe a thousand heads of fake slaves. If there are more, His Majesty will not believe it." Man Gui said in a deep voice.

Lu Daliang looked at Zhao Wen, and hurriedly said, "Mine is the same as Man Zongbing's."

"Okay, I agree to all your requests. However, you need to get those heads yourself, and I can't help you." Zhao Wen looked at the two and said slowly.

Lu Daliang said excitedly: "Okay, as long as I have your words."

After speaking, Lu Daliang pulled Man Gui up and walked outside.

Zhao Wen looked at the two people who walked out, couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.

Tonight is destined to be a restless night.

After Cao Huachun told Chongzhen the details of the Ming army outside the city, Chongzhen frowned tightly.

"Brother, are you sure that the soldiers outside the city are Zhao Wen's soldiers? He is just a small garrison with only a few thousand troops. How could he defeat tens of thousands of Jiannu? I can't believe it." Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun and said in a low voice.

Cao Huachun looked at Chongzhen, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Wen really has a way of training soldiers. Moreover, Zhao Wen is also very good at doing business. I heard that he set up a cement factory with Shanxi merchants in Xuanfu Town and accumulated a lot of money. A lot of silver. So he used the silver he earned to build cannons.

Coupled with the artillery fire from the British Duke on the top of the city and the assistance of soldiers and horses outside the city, Zhao Wen was able to repel Jiannu. Otherwise, how could Zhao Wen's family alone have beaten so many Jiannu?

Besides, not all those who attacked the city were real slaves, a large part of them were fake slaves, and these fake slaves were not as good as real slaves.As soon as they heard the sound of gunfire, they were in a panic. "

As the saying goes, using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Cao Huachun can get a large amount of dividends from Zhao Wen's cement factory every month, so why wouldn't Cao Huachun justify Zhao Wen?

"Zhao Wen opened a cement factory with a businessman? He is an official ordered by the court, why did he get involved with a businessman?" In Chongzhen's consciousness, a businessman is a lowly family. It shouldn't be mixed with merchants either.

Cao Huachun looked at Chongzhen, who was frowning tightly, and said, "My lord, you don't know. Zhao Wenqiong, the court didn't pay him for the army, and he didn't have money to raise soldiers. He had no choice but to do this." The worst policy."

Hearing Cao Huachun's words, Chongzhen couldn't help but nodded, "Hearing what you said, I feel more and more that this Zhao Wen is a loyal person to the country."

That's right, ever since Zhao Wen became the garrison of Longmen Fort, the imperial court has never paid him a military salary.In this way, it is not a big deal for Zhao Wen and the businessman to get involved.

Cao Huachun saw that Chongzhen was no longer in doubt, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the most urgent thing is how to praise Zhao Wen?"

"That's right, you have won a big battle, and you need to praise it. How about this, you bring Zhao Wen tomorrow, and I will see how this man is, and you can also bring some people there to check the gains. This It's been a whole day, and I haven't seen Zhao Wen's memorial." Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun and said slowly.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "I will obey the emperor's order."

......

When the sun rose from the horizon, Man Gui and Lu Daliang had already neatly placed the severed heads in their barracks last night.

After finishing all this, they hurriedly asked their masters to write a memorial for their meritorious service, and handed it over in a hurry.

At the same time, Cao Huachun took Wang Chengen, Liu Changfu, Jin Yiwei Xiaowei, and Dongchang fanzi to Zhao Wen's barracks.

At this time, Zhao Wen was sitting in the big tent and was about to have breakfast, but suddenly he saw a personal guard rushing in.

"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?" Zhao Wen put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the guard with a puzzled expression.

The guard said: "My lord, there are people from the palace."

"Is someone coming from the palace?" Zhao Wen said in doubt, then put it down and got up straight away, heading outside the big tent.

As soon as he walked out of the barracks, he saw a smiling eunuch in a reckless suit and a three-mountain cap.

There were two standing beside him, one of them was his old acquaintance Liu Changfu.

"General Zhao, let me introduce you. This is my godfather, the chief inspector of ceremonies, Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory." Liu Changfu stood up with a smile on his face, pointed at Cao Huachun and said to Zhao Wen.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Cao. I hope you will forgive me for not being able to meet him far away." Zhao Wen cupped his hands to Cao Huachun and said with a smile on his face.

Cao Huachun said with a smile: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem, General Zhao has made great military achievements now, and the miscellaneous family came here today, hoping to get a little bit of General Zhao's military achievements."

"Haha, Eunuch Cao is being modest, please come in quickly."

Zhao Wen laughed and welcomed Cao Huachun in.

After sitting down, Zhao Wen asked someone to bring the tea.

Cao Huachun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "I'm here today to inspect the gains of your troops and horses, and more importantly, I want to take you to meet the emperor. The emperor heard that you won the battle. , want to see you very much."

Zhao Wen was taken aback, "See me? Why are you seeing me?"

"I'm sure I want to see what kind of person General Zhao Wenzhao is, who can beat the shit out of Jiannu." Cao Huachun always had a smile on his face.

"In this case, then I will have a walk with Eunuch Cao." To be honest, Zhao Wen also wanted to see what the Emperor Chongzhen was like in history.

"Okay, the miscellaneous family will be waiting for you outside." Cao Huachun put down his teacup, whispered something, and then led Liu Changfu and Wang Chengen out.

As for those Jinyiwei school lieutenants and Dongchang fanzi, they were taken by the guards sent by Zhao Wen to check the captured Jiannu and soldiers of the Han Eight Banners.

When these people saw the captives of the Longmen Army, they were first shocked, beyond shock, followed by fear.With so many prisoners, this Longmen army must be a difficult person to get along with, and they will definitely not be able to provoke them in the future.

When these people told Cao Huachun about this, Cao Huachun still didn't quite believe it.Tens of thousands of people were captured, and the Ming Dynasty has not happened a few times in so many years.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, he seemed to be dumbfounded, staring blankly at the prisoner, speechless.

After a while, Zhao Wen changed into his official uniform, and led Zhao Daniu, Song Hu and several personal guards out.

Cao Huachun also returned to the outside of Zhao Wen's big tent at this time. He looked at Zhao Wen and praised: "With this official uniform, General Zhao looks even more heroic. As for the inspection of the harvest, the miscellaneous family will not need it later. After you meet the emperor, you can say one word or so."

Check for gains?Check shit.A joke, there are so many captives alone, how can there be fewer captures?

"Haha, Eunuch Cao's reputation is too high." Zhao Wen laughed, then took the reins of the horse handed over by his personal guard, and got on the horse directly.

"General Zhao, this palace is no different than other places. Rules are the most important here. Every word and deed is governed by rules." Liu Changfu rode on a war horse, and kept explaining the rules and regulations in the palace to Zhao Wen. Various rules.

Looking at the road ahead, Zhao Wen kept thinking about what to say when he saw Chongzhen later, but he didn't listen to Liu Changfu's words at all.

As time passed, Zhao Wen finally came to the palace under the leadership of Cao Huachun.

Zhao Wen stopped outside the palace gate, looking at the palace in front of him, feeling filled with emotion.

In later generations, Zhao Wen only bought a ticket to enter the Forbidden City once, but he did not expect that one day he would be able to enter the Imperial Palace for free.

"General Zhao, you stop here first, and the miscellaneous family will go in and report first."

Cao Huachun got down from the carriage, looked at Zhao Wen with a smile on his face, and said slowly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for my father-in-law here." Zhao Wen dismounted from his horse and cupped his hands at Cao Huachun.

After Cao Huachun led the people in to report, Song Hu looked at the majestic and tall palace, and couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect this palace to be so tall. Grandma's is really luxurious."

"That's right, it should cost a lot of money to build the palace. You see, the tiles on it are all golden yellow. You think it's really made of gold. Tsk tsk, it's really luxurious." Zhao Daniu pointed Looking at the tiles on the wall, I am amazed.

"Look at you guys, the hala is about to come out, put it away quickly, don't embarrass me." Zhao Wen looked at the two and couldn't help but cursed with a smile.

After a while, a small yellow door came out.

He looked at Zhao Wen and the others, and asked, "Which of you is General Zhao Wen? Your Majesty summoned him."

Zhao Wen looked at the little yellow gate and replied, "I am Zhao Wen."

"Come with me." Xiao Huangmen glanced at Zhao Wen, and then led Zhao Wen inside.

Before Zhao Wen left, he turned around and looked at Zhao Daniu and the others, "Stay here and don't run around, wait for me to come back."

Zhao Wen confessed, and then followed the little yellow door and walked in.

After a while, Zhao Wen came to the warm pavilion.

Zhao Wen glanced at Chongzhen who was sitting in front of the imperial case, and then shouted: "Minister Longmen Castle guard Zhao Wen pays homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Zhao Wen's voice was very long, and he spoke extremely slowly.It seems that they are waiting for Chongzhen's words of peace.
