If Lang Yimian could fly into the sky at this time, he would understand why this beast could suddenly touch the house where he was. At this time, it was east of the Chinese army camp, under the cover of the heavy rain.
, all the fierce dogs of the Samarkand Kingdom's Beast Team were sent out, and at this time they attacked all the sentries without any regard for casualties. Behind them, tens of thousands of Samarkand Kingdom soldiers held swords and guns in their hands, and through the dim light
The moonlight and the lightning that flashed in front of my eyes from time to time stared at the Ming army's central camp in front of me.
Tamerlane himself braved the heavy rain and rode quietly beside the army. Although he could not see clearly the situation in front of him.
I don’t know how long it took, but Gilgi, who was leading the beast team, came over on horseback. He took a breath and said to Timur: "Khan, most of the sentries have been bitten to death."
Timur nodded, and seeing his ugly expression, he smiled and said: "Don't be sad about the dead beasts. They died fighting for the army, and they deserved their death. When this war is over, I will allocate more to you every year."
For twice the money, you can feed more fierce dogs."
Gilgi agreed and ran back to command the Bulldogs.
Timur glanced around at the soldiers who were waiting quietly like him. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly couldn't help coughing twice.
"Khan, it's raining so heavily in the sky, you'd better go back first, we are still here." Jesb said hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter, my body can still bear it."
"But……"
"It's nothing! Although I'm getting older, my legs and feet are less flexible, and my health is far worse than when I was young, but this little rain can't stop me!" Timur said.
When Jesb heard this, he did not dare to persuade him any more, but he was still worried that he would fall ill.
Timur didn't care what Jesb was thinking, and said to the general behind him: "As long as this battle is successful, the Ming army will be defeated. Samarkand will become the most powerful country in the world, and conquering the Ming Dynasty will be a success."
It's just a matter of time. Generals, start taking action according to the plan I made before!"
"Yes, Khan." Everyone agreed and began to act according to the battle plan that Timur told them before.
…
…
"Commander, it's raining so hard. It won't be good if they get sick from the rain. It's better to let them go back to their tents." At this time, Commander Qin Sen's tent was in the camp of Yongming Left Guard. Zhao Xing asked Qin Sen.
.
After Zhao Xing escorted Chang An and others back to his army camp, he immediately found Qin Sen to report the matter. When Qin Sen learned about it, he was furious. The reason for his anger was similar to that of Zhu Suohai: both sides felt guilty today because they both had Pao Ze killed in battle.
He is not happy. It is easy to get really angry in a fight. If someone is killed, it will have a great impact on him.
He quickly ordered: "Pass my order. The people who were escorted back because of the fight this time should all stand in the middle of the camp. They are not allowed to move at all. If anyone arbitrarily strikes with a twenty army stick, twice with a forty army stick,
!”
Of course Chang An and others did not dare to disobey his words. They could only stand upright in the camp and did not dare to move at all.
It was fine at first, but the rain gradually became heavier and heavier, and the heavy rain poured down on them. Zhao Xing was worried about Chang An, so he came to Qin Sen to plead for mercy.
"No!" Qin Sen resolutely said: "Everyone is so incompetent but has such a big temper that a group fight broke out in the military camp, especially where the monks did their rituals! If lives were lost, some of you would be beaten to death by the Koreans.
, How can I have the nerve to go back to see His Highness? If a North Korean is killed by you, how can I have the nerve to go back to see Xu Shuai or Song Shuai?"
"I didn't give each of them eighty sticks and make them lie in bed for three months. The punishment is already very light. Even if they get gonorrhea, they are asking for it!"
"Zhao Xing, I know you have a good relationship with Chang An. Logically speaking, as a member of a hundred households, he should be treated more favorably than a soldier. But today he took the lead in the fight. If he is not severely punished, he will not be able to remember the rules!"
When Zhao Xing heard what Qin Sen said, he knew that he was still very angry, so he did not dare to persuade him any more, so he could only stand aside with his hands down.
But at this time, another person sitting next to Qin Sen, wearing the uniform of a third-grade military general, said: "Qin Sen, the thousands of households under your command are also saying that, even if you hit twenty military sticks each, it is still worse than
They get sick after being exposed to heavy rain. Now the military doctors at the military medical center have a lot of medicines for treating external injuries, but there are not many medicines for treating colds. If they really get colds, it will be difficult to treat them."
"Since Commander Chang has asked for mercy, Zhao Xing, go and pass on my order and let them go back to their tents. But when the rain stops tomorrow, each person will be beaten with twenty military sticks, and I will personally watch the beating!" Qin Sen said
.
"Thank you very much, Commander." Zhao Xing bowed to him and saluted, then turned to the man named 'Commander Chang' and said, "I would like to thank Sir Chang for your mercy."
"No need." Chang commanded and waved his hand.
This man named Chang Commander was Chang Jizong, the eldest son of Zheng Guogong Chang Sheng. He made great contributions in the war against Annan, and because of his strong connections, he was promoted to the commander of the Shangzhi Guards and Zhongfu Military Guards.
This time he also led troops to the Western Region to participate in the war against the Kingdom of Samarkand.
Although Chang Jizong is known as "the most capable person in the third generation of the Chang family", he knows that his ability is slightly better than his father but is limited. When Lan Yu was still alive, he had a good relationship with Chang Sheng and once commented on him
"In the future, I can serve as a general guarding the border and command 30,000 to 50,000 troops. I can also serve as a commander if there are few affairs in the interior, but no matter how big an official I am, I will not be able to do so."
But he is the eldest son of Zheng Guogong. In the future, Zheng Guogong's successor will only be a general soldier! But his qualifications are here, even if Yunxi is appointed to a larger official for the sake of relatives, he will not be able to do it.
change.
Fortunately, Chang Jizong was quite diligent. In order to make up for his weakness, he went everywhere to learn from others. In view of his status, everyone would also give him a few words of advice.
We are currently fighting against the Western Barbarians. In order to be more confident when it is the turn of his imperial guards to go into battle, Chang Jizong visits the guard post every day after returning from the battle on the same day or the next day to inquire about the war against the Western Barbarians.
The feeling. Today I came to Yongming Zuowei to visit Qin Sen.
Zhao Xing stared at Chang Jizong with some strangeness. He and Chang An used to be the concierges of the Chang family when they were in the capital. Because they almost delayed a fatal matter, they were expelled from the Chang Mansion and exiled to Kaiyuan City. Later they moved around.
Yongming.
It is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart, but the Chang family just expelled him from the mansion and did not implicate his family. His father was too young to do heavy work and was given a living, not to mention that he was at fault in the first place.
It has faded away after so many years, but I still have different feelings for the Chang family.
Qin Sen had already ordered this matter and was about to continue talking to Chang Jizong. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Zhao Xing who was still standing there without moving, and said angrily: "Why don't you go down and pass on my order!"
"Yes, Commander." Zhao Xing came to his senses and hurriedly walked out of the tent. After a while, Chang An followed him in and said to Qin Sen: "Thank you very much, Commander, for your kindness."
"Okay, the meaning of these false courtesy is enough. You have been soaked in the rain for a long time. Go back and change into clean clothes." Qin Sen said impatiently.
Chang An had been a soldier under Qin Sen for a long time and knew his temperament. He quickly turned around and thanked the people in third-grade official uniforms beside him. Zhao Xing had already told him that Qin Sen could let them go like this, which was a great credit to his command.
without.
But as soon as he raised his head, he said two words: "Xiaguan..." and suddenly there was no sound.
Qin Sen turned his head to look at Chang An. Seeing his strange expression, he immediately asked: "What, Chang An, do you recognize Commander Chang?"
Chang An hesitated, wondering if he should tell the truth. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Chang Jizong say: "You look familiar to me, and your surname is Chang. Could it be that you are a member of my Chang family?" Although Chang Yuchun did not
There are no real brothers, not even brothers within the fifth server, but there are clan brothers, Chang Mao, Chang Sheng, brothers who once went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and Chang Jizong also went back, so I guessed this when I saw a familiar person with the surname Chang.
Very normal.
"Sir Chang, I am not from the Chang clan. My father was originally a soldier of King Kaiping. He also went on an expedition with the elder and was given the surname Chang. So I also took the surname Chang." Chang An finally decided to tell the truth.
Tell the truth.
"You are the son of my father's soldier? Then why did you go to Yongming? Ah, I remembered." Chang Jizong said a few words and suddenly remembered what happened to Chang An.
Chang Jizong turned to look at Zhao Xing again: "Your father was also a member of my family."
"Yes, Master Chang." Zhao Xing said.
"The family did handle the matter too much at the beginning, but the delay you caused was so great that I still feel frightened when I think about it now. My father was so angry that he exiled you."
"Your family is still in the mansion now. Chang'an, although your father is too old to go into battle now, the family still has enough to eat and drink, and there is enough money every month; Zhao Xing, your family is also here.
I dare not say how good they are in front of others, but they will not starve to death and no one will mistreat them," Chang Jizong said.
"Thank you, Master Chang." The two of them bowed and said.
"Now that you have become a military general of the imperial court, do you want to redeem your family's life?" Chang Jizong asked again.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chang, but it's not necessary now. Yongming City is still a primitive city, and everything is very rudimentary. It's better to stay in the capital in Yongming. Wait until the two of us become high officials, or be transferred back to the Central Plains, and then redeem our lives for our family.
"Chang An said.
What they said was not in line with the mainstream concepts at the time. It was just like others. It would be unfilial not to redeem one's life for one's parents. However, Chang Jizong himself had also been at the border and knew that the conditions at the border were difficult. It would be better to be a slave in his family.
He didn't say much.
They said a few more words, and suddenly they heard Qin Sen say: "Okay, there's no need to say these words anymore, it's already late now, you should go back and rest as soon as possible."
Just now, Qin Sen had been watching from the side without saying a word. It wasn't until Chang Jizong had nothing more to say that he spoke to relieve the situation.
