Late Ming Dynasty: Oops, I am surrounded by the Donglin Party

Chapter 117 Why do you always look so cocky? Does Ben owe you money?

Sun Weifan was the one who was most opposed to Zhang Shikang taking this risk, but he knew that he could not change Zhang Shikang's decision at all, so he took the initiative to take on the task of selecting guards.

He knew exactly who in the Beijing camp could fight, and selected 300 people from the more than 10,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, including Sun Dasheng. The lowest military rank was also a sergeant.

These three hundred people are definitely an officer corps.

On October 15, Zhang Shikang led the Beijing camp troops to Qizhou City. In addition to Lu Xiangsheng, there were also more than 20,000 Qin soldiers led by Sun Chuanting.

In addition to boosting Zhang Shikang's morale, it was also to ensure his safety. After all, the reputation of the Jianlu could not be gambled with. If the deal failed, there would still be war.

"Brother, I've been feeling very depressed these past few days. This time when I go to see Dorgon, he tells me that we should just take the opportunity to kill him.

If Dorgon dies, the Jiannu army will be in chaos. We can then seize the opportunity to pursue them. Maybe you will become a marquis!" Sun Dasheng said excitedly while riding on his warhorse.

Sun Dasheng and five or six others were quarantined for five or six days before they were finally cleared of suspicion of being infected.

Although I am not very active on weekdays, it is only after being imprisoned that I realize that even if I am given good food and drink every day, I really cannot bear it if my freedom is restricted.

Sun Dasheng felt that he had gained weight.

"Dorgon probably thinks so too," Zhang Shikang said with a smile.

"In my opinion, the Jian Nu are nothing but this. Big brother, who cares what they think? As long as we have a chance, we will deal with them. No matter what, we will make you a marquis." Song Liangzu took over the conversation.

"What monkey or not, just be one if you want to be one." Zhang Shikang said speechlessly.

"I think that the title of Champion Earl is not as nice as the title of Champion Marquis. Huo Qubing is the Champion Marquis." Sun Dasheng scratched his head.

After becoming the Earl of Jinglu, Sun Dasheng really showed off in front of his brothers. Now the brothers of the Second Son Group are trying their best to get a Tartar leader in exchange for the title.

Sun Chuanting also rode a war horse and walked beside Zhang Shikang. He listened to the words of Zhang Shikang and others, and couldn't help feeling a little contempt in his heart.

I thought to myself that these guys still have the demeanor of dandies. I really don't know how they defeated Yuetuo.

"Governor Sun, have I offended you in any way?" Zhang Shikang ignored the noise of Sun Dasheng and others, and turned to Sun Chuanting and said.

Sun Chuanting didn't know what was going on, so he replied without even raising his head:

"Why do you say that? Lord, I have never offended you."

"Then why do you always look so arrogant? It's as if I owe you money." Zhang Shikang said unhappily.

Ever since he met Sun Chuanting yesterday, he felt that this guy seemed to have something against him.

If you have any opinions, just say it. Who are you showing your face to?

He admitted that Sun Chuanting was good at fighting and that he was very loyal to the court, but isn't it said that the more people know, the more humble they are?

Why does this guy look so arrogant?

"My Lord, I have always been like this and never put on a brave face." Sun Chuanting's square face twitched, as if he was also irritated by Zhang Shikang's words.

"Then just smile." Zhang Shikang naturally didn't believe what Sun Chuanting said, and suggested directly.

When Sun Chuanting heard this, not only his face twitched, but his brain also twitched. It was not like he had never encountered difficulties from his superiors. In fact, even Yang Sichang had deliberately given him the most difficult Tartar to deal with.

But this was the first time in his life that he had been treated so badly. Although it seemed easy, it was actually very embarrassing.

"I can't laugh." Sun Chuanting had a stern face, seeming a little angry.

“Uncle Ben doesn’t believe it. I’ll give you two choices. First, smile. Second, tell me the truth about why you are dissatisfied with me. Don’t deny it. Uncle Ben doesn’t believe it.

This is a military order." Zhang Shikang looked at Sun Chuanting jokingly.

Before setting off, Yang Sichang ordered that in the event of a war, military orders would be given priority to the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp. In other words, Sun Chuanting was currently under the control of Zhang Shikang.

Sun Chuanting felt extremely embarrassed when he heard this. How could a military order be issued in this way? But a military order was a military order after all, and he could not disobey it.

He certainly couldn't laugh. How could he submit to a dandy boy? If his colleagues knew about this, they would laugh at him to death.

He was not too dissatisfied. He just looked down on this group of playboys, especially Zhang Shikang, who always had a cynical and hateful look.

But how could he dare to tell the truth? The dandy young man was always vindictive, not to mention that Zhang Shikang was controlling him now.

Even if the British Duke Zhang Zhiji impeached him casually, he would not be able to take it!

Sun Chuanting frowned, and Sun Dasheng's group of half-grown children were looking at him seriously, which made him even more uncomfortable.

The court is currently deploying troops, and he cannot retreat, so he certainly cannot tell the truth.

After much thought, Sun Chuanting decided that he couldn't just go head-to-head. He frowned and started to organize his facial muscles.

"Hahahaha!" Lu Xiangsheng, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, finally couldn't help it.

"Master Sun, the uncle was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously?

You don't understand my uncle. Don't always judge by the surface. Do you really think that my uncle relied on luck in the battle of Jiazhuang?

The Beijing Army has been in disuse for so long, don't you know?"

Lu Xiangsheng originally wanted to say, Your Majesty trusts the Earl so much, do you still dare to doubt Your Majesty's vision?

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

Although he and Sun Chuanting were not very familiar with each other, he still recognized Sun Chuanting's character among the many civil servants who commanded troops in the Ming Dynasty.

At least he is not as narrow-minded as Yang Sichang, not as vicious as Hong Chengchou, and not as incompetent as Chen Qiuyu.

The Qin soldiers were very good at fighting. He had commanded troops for many years and knew very well that it was not the soldiers who were good at fighting, but the generals.

But Sun Chuanting also had his own shortcomings. Although Sun Chuanting was a few years older than Lu Xiangsheng, he was still only a governor until now, and he got this title because he was excluded.

After all, Shaanxi is the birthplace of bandits, and it has suffered from disasters year after year, and there is no money to be made due to the chaos and war, so most people are unwilling to go there.

Lu Xiangsheng felt that the reason why he ended up in this situation was closely related to Sun Chuanting's arrogance.

It is also for this reason that Sun Chuanting naturally looks down on the cynical Zhang Shikang.

"Zhao! I was wondering what was going on. It turns out it's because of this!"

After hearing what Lu Xiangsheng said, Zhang Shikang finally came to his senses. He had been puzzled before, thinking that this was only the first time he met Sun Chuanting, so why did this guy always look unhappy.

"Lord Lu, I don't think so."

Although Lu Xiangsheng had basically hit the nail on the head, Sun Chuanting still refused to admit it in front of so many people.

"Come on, you're upset but you don't dare to say it out loud, and Uncle Ben doesn't like you either!"

Old arrogant, Zhang Shikang curled his lips.

Around ten o'clock the next morning, Zhang Shikang arrived in the suburbs of Qizhou.

According to the agreement, he stopped the army ten miles away from the negotiation site and ordered Lu Xiangsheng to lead the army, allowing Lu Xiangsheng to respond to circumstances improvisation when he was away.

"My Lord, you should be careful of Dorgon. Even if the talks fail, you should retreat quickly. Don't confront Dorgon head-on."

Before leaving, Lu Xiangsheng gave serious instructions.

Although he knew that Zhang Shikang could always handle important matters clearly, he was still very worried. After all, Zhang Shikang's thinking was too unconventional.

"I know. You've said it eight times." Zhang Shikang said helplessly.

"Let's go, Sun Aojiao." Zhang Shikang raised his eyebrows at Sun Chuanting again.

Then, without caring whether Sun Chuanting understood or not, he took Sun Weifan and three hundred other guards and rushed to the negotiation site.
