Chapter 124: Observing Politics by Order (9)
Huang Zhenshou's previous prediction was very accurate, because of the high pragmatism of the existing inventory of firearms in Datong City test is particularly strict, and it is also a durability test, a shooting accuracy test, and a shooting distance test...... After completing the tests one by one, I found that it was almost evening before I even had time to eat lunch.
Not eating lunch is indifferent to ordinary Ming people, because ordinary people at this time only eat two meals a day, but for people with status, two meals a day is a more special experience, such as high pragmatism, I feel that I am so hungry that my chest is close to my back, and my eyes are green.
In fact, at noon, Huang Zhenshou quietly asked his subordinates to prepare a few potstickers, but at that time, Gao Pragmatic was giving full play to his acting expertise, and his face was gloomy as he watched the officials in the prison gun count the shooting hit rate.
Huang Zhenshou didn't know that what Gao Pragmatic wanted was the conclusion that "the firearms of the Northern Army are really not enough", and he didn't know that Gao Pragmatic's gloomy face was actually so excited, of course, he didn't dare to rashly go up at that time to mention such gossip as eating, and as a result, the rescue was delayed.
Now that all the tests have been completed, the results of the tests are quite bad in the eyes of the four giants of Datong, except for Ma Fang, they are all worried about Gao Pragmatic and can't help but get angry - of course, worry and fear are two different things.
But Gao pragmatic's performance seemed to them to be quite calm, because he just confessed to Huang Zhenshou with an expressionless face: "Tomorrow to inspect all kinds of artillery, if it is not convenient to test the cannon in Datong City, you can also go outside the city, and the specific matters are still arranged by Lao Huang Zhenshou at his discretion." ”
Huang Mengyu hurriedly said: "But please rest assured, this is a matter within the slave maid's responsibility, and the slave and maid must be properly arranged." ”
Wang Chonggu heard this on the side, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: This eunuch doesn't have such respect for me, but he just stammers a yellow-mouthed child like this.
After thinking about it, I thought again: These eunuchs know the situation in the palace far more thoroughly than the courtiers, let alone a border minister like me? Could it be that this son has really been favored in front of His Majesty and His Royal Highness to the point where even the celebrant does not dare to fight? If so...... Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
However, Gao Pragmatic didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Chonggu's reaction at the moment, and after receiving Huang Mengyu's affirmative answer, he explained some details, and then came over to talk to Wang Chonggu and Ma Fang. However, in this kind of public occasion, in fact, the so-called narrative can basically only be nonsense and clichés, and after talking casually for a while, everyone will go home.
Due to his young age, even in Datong, Gao Pragmatic travels mainly by horse-drawn carriage. However, Gao Mo has now been promoted to the head of the Jiading Guard Group, so it is naturally not good for him to drive again, and even Gao Mo's son Gao Jiong has become a few cronies under Gao Shishi's command, assisting in the research and development of firearms in Sanshen Garden.
But today, Gao Mo really rushed to Datong from Defeathu Fort, and now he is riding a jujube red horse next to Gao Pragmatic's carriage, reporting the situation to Gao Pragmatic across the carriage.
It turned out that after the Jingshi made the decision to take in Hannaji, the news of the defeat of Hubao was only received the afternoon before yesterday. The Fort of Defeat is just a relatively ordinary small pass, the actual strength is only more than 300 people, and there is a Hannaji beside him, which is completely equivalent to holding a hot potato in his hand, and he dare not throw it away, and he can't eat it.
Cui Jingrong, the leader of the defeated Hu Fort, was worried every day, for fear that I would come to attack - even if I only sent a partial division, he would not be able to bear the defeat of Hu Fort! So he asked his immediate boss Liu Tingyu several times a day to send Hannaji to the end of Pingyu.
However, Liu Tingyu's strength is actually not strong, although there are six or seven thousand troops under the nominal hand, but in fact, the real soldiers who can fight are only more than two thousand, he heard that I have "gathered more than seventy or eighty thousand iron cavalry from all departments", where do you dare to take this big trouble? At the moment, he shirked and said that he "has been handed over to the prefect of Datong Cheng Gong", and is now "waiting for his fate", in a word, you Cui someone will carry it yourself first, and the general will not mix it up first - who let Han Naji not go to so many passes, but went to you?
According to Gao Mo's statement, Cui Jingrong was so anxious that his hair turned a lot whiter, but he always didn't have a word for him, so he had to beg his father and grandmother to ask the "Jinghua Caravan Guard" to be temporarily stationed in Fort Hu, and the food and grass materials should be "squeezed out" and supplied by Fort Hu.
It just so happened that Gao Pragmatic did not give clear instructions to Cao Gan, Gao Mo, and Gao Jue at that time, so the three of them discussed it and agreed first.
For this reason, Gao Mo also explained, saying: "Because Han Naji was also there at that time, after discussing it, the three of us felt that it was unlikely that I would risk the murder of my grandson to attack and defeat Fort Hu, so I agreed." It's just that now the holy decree has come down to send Hannaji to Datong, so the three of us discussed with Cui Jingrong again, and escorted—uh, it should be said that the escort brought Hannaji over. ”
Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly: "Only you escort?" ”
Gao Mo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Cui Jingrong sent a small flag to lead the team, but he didn't worry about defeating Fort Hu's defense, so he didn't dare to send more, so please let us escort him." ”
Gao Pragmatic smiled and asked, "He is not worried about defeating Fort Hu's defense, and he dares to let you all go?" ”
"The eldest young master Mingjian......" Gao Mo also laughed: "After all, we are not his subordinates, and the identity is there, and he doesn't have the courage to stay, so ......"
Gao pragmatically nodded.
This is for sure, Cui Jingrong's ethics at a small pass, even if he eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, it is impossible to force the cabinet to stay in the family of the Gaoge's hometown, not to mention that the relationship between the Jinghua caravan and Ma Fang is simply a louse on the bald head - obvious. If he dares to do this, he doesn't need to speak at all, Ma Fang and Ma Zongrong can him so that he can't survive or die.
Gao pragmatic thought for a while, and then asked: "If you bring Hannaji from Defeathu Fort, you should be able to reach Datong in a day or two, right?" ”
"If there are no accidents, we will probably be there at noon the day after tomorrow." Gao Mo replied, hesitated again, and asked hesitantly, "Young Master, let's ...... this time It's not going to really be a big fight with me, is it? If there is a real fight, will our family guard team also participate in the war? ”
Gao Pragmatic was silent for a moment, and said: "It shouldn't really be fought, I guess I promised that I would be able to press the border, but if my border soldiers were properly guarded, I would definitely not attack." ”
Gao Mo said a little worriedly: "The truth is naturally this truth, but the eldest young master, some of Cao's shopkeepers in Mo Nan quietly sent us the news...... It seems that this time it seems that the thunder is really angry, and nearly 100,000 troops have been gathered near the Fengzhou River, and even the Woer Dusi has sent 5,000 elite cavalry over. ”
