Chapter 165: Money, Woman, Sabre

After learning about this in the camp, Gushan Ezhen Jinli didn't believe it. However, when he came over, he was stunned when he saw it. When he was amused and laughed, he saw Tang Sanshui, wearing military uniforms, walking in awe of majestic under the crowd of his confidants Jia Da and Song Qian. .

"Have I pulled out all those cannons?"

In fact, Tang Sanshui had seen the "bean cannons" carried by more than a hundred mules and horses, but he insisted on blowing it up. It seemed that this was not the case, and it did not show his grand aura of Lord Kuhnbu.

Jin Li gritted his teeth and walked up to him and whispered: "Sir Admiral, this cannon?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Sanshui waved his hand with a choke: "This cannon is very good!"

"This cannon is good?"

Jin Li didn't know what to say, because he really had nothing to say.

Tang Sanshui ignored the dazed green camp generals and walked straight to a "bean cannon" and glanced at it a few times. Suddenly, he changed color and cursed: "What's the matter? Why is this cannon so light!"

Jia Da came forward and saw that the bean-nooded cannon was too light to hold the cart, so the mule and horse cart wheels were not left with any marks on the ground. Jia Da was also clever and hurriedly asked someone to put big stones on the cannon carts. As a result, after the wheels passed, the marks were indeed very deep.

Tang Sanshui looked at it again and was very satisfied. Then he said to the green camp generals in Jiangnan Zuo: "What, do you think this admiral is a joke?"

"I dare not, I dare not!"

These generals were all officers of the Green Camp in various prefectures, prefectures and counties. Some were still bandits nearby. Most were thousands of soldiers, and the few were hundreds of soldiers. Together, five or six thousand were also 5 or 6,000 troops. When Tang Sanshui personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to come to Haozhou, he transferred all the green camps to the states and counties, and transferred all the green camps. Because of Lord Kuenbu's reputation, no one dared to disobey orders, but he was eager to fight. The reason for this was that Lord Kuenbu was in the army for so many years and rarely suffered defeat. All the generals pointed to being able to make a fortune with Tang Sanshui this time, but no one expected that the Admiral would actually make a lot of fake cannons to compete with the bandits. What is this? But in front of Tang Sanshui, the group of people dared to say it, and they were all laughing and saying they didn't dare to say it.

"Hmph, Admiral Ben knows what you are thinking, but Admiral Ben is too lazy to explain to you, and he will fight with Admiral Ben, so that the great bandits will know how powerful you are!"

Tang Sanshui snorted coldly and ordered an attack. Jin Li was stunned and hurriedly asked where to attack.

"Qi military strategy is full of things. If you want to fight, you can fight the strongest one!"

Tang Sanshui's great order was issued, and the entire army wanted to attack the strongest middle-level enemy Li Laiheng's troops.

Jin Li took a breath. Li Laiheng was famous for being a tiger, and his troops were the most numerous of the Ming army in the three routes. If they didn't fight the relatively weaker route first, they would fight the strongest middle route first. It was really not in line with the way of using troops. However, Tang Sanshui insisted on this, and Jin Li had no military power, so he could only let him act. In order to prevent the green camps from being scared to escape privately when they heard that they were going to fight Li Laiheng, Tang Sanshui ordered his direct generals to lead troops to monitor them, and even issued strict orders. Some escaped people at the time of the battle were unpardoned. Under the strict order, and Tang Sanshui had always had a reputation, the generals of the green camp could only bite the bullet and follow him.

Two days later, the Qing army met Li Laiheng's troops who were coming in large numbers in the southwest of Haozhou. The two sides quickly set off and were about to start a war. Soon, the Ming army found that the Qing army on the opposite side actually drove a large number of artillery vehicles to the front of the position. Li Laiheng was also surprised after receiving the report and came to the front of the formation to explore. When he saw from a distance, he found that there were many artillery artillery in the Qing army. He couldn't help but feel timid. He thought about it and ordered the withdrawal of the troops.

Jin Li and a group of green camp generals opened their eyes wide and looked at Dakou being frightened by Lord Kuenbu's fake cannon. At that moment, he felt that Lord Kuenbu was really Zhuge Kongming's rebirth.

"I had already predicted that the great enemy Li Laihengxu had troops but had a weak foundation. I took the initiative and brought so many cannons, so I would not have the courage to attack."

Tang Sanshui was very proud of the praises of the generals. He immediately yelled, but he felt relieved: Li Laiheng is a kind person, and he will do his job as soon as he receives money. His Highness King Qi will definitely not deceive me.

Jin Li admired Tang Sanshui at this time and could not admire him anymore. If he said that he had always been esteemed for his identity in the past, he looked down on Tang Sanshui, the newly-held person who raised the flag, but now, he has to admit that there are people outside of people and there are heavens outside of heaven. Tang Sanshui's way of using troops is too much better than him.

"Admiral, since the bandits retreat, we might as well kill us!"

Jin Li took the initiative to seek war and wanted to lead his troops to chase the Ming army. Tang Sanshui whispered and was about to say something about the defeated enemy, but he saw many sparrows suddenly falling from his cannons. The sparrow was now facing the cannon!

"broken!"

When Tang Sanshui slapped his thigh, Jin Li also reacted and immediately asked the soldiers to drive away the sparrows. Otherwise, the Ming army would have doubts when they discovered this strange scene. If they were not good at solving this trick of fake cannons, they would be exposed. Fortunately, the action was timely. Except for the cannon of a cannon, the sparrows were pecking with skin and hair, the other "cannons" were safe and sound.

When Li Laiheng retreated, Wang Guangxing and Dang Shousu from both sides were immediately isolated and helpless, so the two retreated one after another. This crisis was resolved.

Although the two sides did not fight at all, it did not affect Tang Sanshui's letter of victory to the Qing court, claiming that the victory in Haozhou was great and beheaded thousands of them.

After Jin Li led his troops to stay in Haozhou, Tang Sanshui led his troops back to Luzhou. As soon as he returned to his mansion, he would first go to pay homage to his second uncle.

Tang Sanshui's parents had long passed away, and there were basically no relatives in the countryside, only a second uncle was there, so Tang Sanshui took the second uncle from Mengcheng to Luzhou and arranged for him to support him in the mansion. He paid tribute to the second uncle twice a day, and was filial. However, the second uncle didn't want his ancestors and became a Manzhou native. He often scolded Tang Sanshui in front of a group of servants and raised his hand to beat him. Tang Sanshui always greeted him with a smile and never forced himself to speak. Over time, the second uncle was also weakened by his nephew. Thought about his nephew's grandson calling him Kuenbu and becoming a Manzhou native, he was also a high-ranking official after all, and it was considered a smoke from the ancestral tomb. It should be noted that the biggest person he had produced in the Tang family in hundreds of years was just a juren.

Tang Sanshui was excited to go to pay tribute to his second uncle with the specialty brought back from Haozhou. Unexpectedly, the second uncle said angrily as soon as he saw him: "You go out and ask someone to give me some food. The thing is not delicious at all except smelling a little bit. Don't give it to me in the future."

When Tang Sanshui heard this, the monk was confused because he did not tell anyone what food to deliver to his second uncle. He turned to look at the servants, but found that these people were covering their mouths and noses and trying to laugh but not daring to laugh. This made him even more strange, so he asked the second uncle what he had eaten. The second uncle took a piece of food from the house with a calm face and threw it in front of Tang Sanshui: "This thing is really unpalatable. Now that you have become a high-ranking official, you have money, but you can't be fooled by others. Don't buy this thing again in the future."

Tang Sanshui looked at the thing that his second uncle took out, and was speechless for a long time. He coughed a few times and said, "Uncle, that is the latest soap produced in Jiangnan. It was specially sent by his grandson's nobleman. The grandson was reluctant to use it himself. He specially treated you with filial piety to wash your face. It's not a big deal." After saying that, he slapped at the butler and cursed: "Ma Labazi, why don't you explain to the old man clearly, can you eat this fragrant paniculata?"

The housekeeper felt very wronged because he didn't know that the old man had eaten Xiangpanzi as a snack. The second uncle understood and his face turned red and he was a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Tang Sanshui sent the housekeeper and his servants to leave, then took out a golden little mouse from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to the second uncle with both hands.

The second uncle took the golden rat and felt that it was good. He nodded with satisfaction: "Sanshui, where did this golden rat come from?"

Tang Sanshui chuckled and said, "My grandson met a scholar from six cottages in Haozhou. He thought it was not affordable to be a magistrate. He wanted to get a magistrate. I don't know where this kid came from. He knew that you are a rat in the second uncle, so he specially used gold to hit a golden rat to celebrate your birthday."

Tang Sanshui looked at his second uncle with great anticipation. He was really filial because his relatives were the only one left in this world. The scholar was well-behaved and beaten the golden mouse to be liked by the old man. Unexpectedly, the second uncle was furious and scolded him, "Idiot, you won't tell the scholar that I am a donkey. If you send a golden donkey, it will be no bigger than the golden mouse."

"Ahem"

Tang Sanshui said that his second uncle was very coughing, and he thought that his uncle had farted a lot from his crotch. How could there be a donkey among the twelve zodiac signs?

After coming out of his second uncle, Tang Sanshui thought about the concubines he married.

Since regaining Luzhou, Tang Sanshui has been very happy this day, just like a land emperor. He has been fed and thoughtful to the rich and gentry families in Luzhou City have been hurt by him. Anyone who asks him to like him will rent a house in the city, hang a sign of "Admiral's Mansion", send a soldier to the door, and then stuff people in. All things will be fine. However, in a few days, Tang Sanshui will forget the newly married concubine completely, and finally the soldiers will be fucked and the sign will be taken off.

Someone in Luzhou City then joked: "Let's go and go to bed with Lord Kuhnbu's wife!"

When the words reached Tang Sanshui's ears, he was not angry at all, but laughed it off and didn't care. Not only that, he even often rewarded his concubine to his subordinates who had made meritorious service, and often waved his hand and said, "Mom is a fool, and my woman is rewarded to you as a wife. Take her back!"

In addition to rewarding his women to his subordinates, Tang Sanshui also made many swords himself. The swords were engraved with seven words: "You must be bold when things are in trouble."

These swords were given to their trusted subordinates by Tang Sanshui as a show of encouragement.

Money, women, swords, etc. have become the only rule for Tang Sanshui to win over people.

On this day, Jin Li from Haozhou suddenly received an urgent report from Kaifeng, saying that the emperor had passed away.
