In the official hall in the back hall of Chicheng General's Office, Lin Fangping continued: "...that prodigal led a group of thugs and stopped my brother and others at the gate of the city. He was about to be detained on the grounds that he was armed with a weapon and injured people.
Fang Qing wanted to argue with him, but one of them didn't care about the situation and hit my brother headfirst with a stick. Fang Qing just dodged for a few times. When the man saw that he couldn't take down my brother on his own, he called on all the thugs to come forward.
Cheng Hu was injured in the beating and fell to the ground. Cheng Xiaomei was also captured by the thugs. My brother was so anxious that he beat the leader to death, but was captured on the spot by the military officers who came over. "
Zhang Cheng asked calmly: "Isn't he just a scoundrel? When did you know about this? What's Fang Qing's situation now?"
Lin Fangping still knelt on the ground and replied: "My brother and the Cheng family brothers and sisters are all imprisoned in Zhencheng Military Prison. I only got the message from He Shihui's express delivery, and I found out that the person who died seemed to be guerrilla General Wen. 's youngest son."
"Wen Hui?"
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, his face suddenly became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure you killed the young master of the Wen Hui family?"
Lin Fangping saw that Zhang Cheng's face suddenly became heavy. He was eager to save his brother and cried out loudly: "Commander, my brother hurt others just to protect himself. It was not intentional. Besides, the Cheng family brothers and sisters are also big brothers. The surviving family members of Brother Shuai Laoying, please take care of me..."
"Wait."
Zhang Cheng shouted, stopped Lin Fangping from talking, and asked: "You said that the Cheng family brothers and sisters are the surviving relatives of my brothers from the old camp. Please tell me in detail."
Lin Fangping immediately stopped crying and replied: "Commander, Cheng Hu has a brother named Cheng Long, who is under the command of General Zhang Guangda, the left sentry of the old camp. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he followed the commander into Wei Jingji. He was in the north of Mafang. Liulin was ambushed by Tatars and died fighting for the country."
After hearing this, Zhang Cheng stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Where is Zhang Chengfang?"
The hall door opened, Zhang Chengfang strode in and said with fists in his arms: "Chengfang is here, what are your orders from Commander-in-Chief!"
"Go and ask Zhang Guangda to come over."
Zhang Chengfang promised loudly, and when he turned around and walked to the door, he was stopped by Zhang Cheng and told him: "Send someone to call Jin Xinpeng and Gao Jinggong to wait in the side hall."
After Zhang Chengfang left, Zhang Cheng asked Lin Fangping: "Fangping, according to you, Wen Hui doesn't know about Zhencheng at this moment?"
Lin Fangping had already stood up, and he replied with certainty: "The people sent by He Shihui said this happened, so they rushed to deliver the information. Wen Youba must not know what happened in Zhencheng yet."
"snort!"
Zhang Cheng said bitterly: "Then let him live for now."
…………
Zhang Cheng asked Zhang Guangda with a serious face: "Zhang Guangda, do you still remember Cheng Long?"
Zhang Guangda was stunned at first, but it only took him a moment to react. He hurriedly replied: "When I was serving as the sentry commander under the commander-in-chief, there was a brother in Team B and Team A named Cheng Long."
Zhang Cheng asked again: "Where is he now?"
Although Zhang Guangda didn't know why Zhang Cheng asked about this, he still replied respectfully: "In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, when the general entered the capital of Wei with the general at the end of the year, he was ambushed on the way to Mafang to intercept the captives. Cheng Long then He died heroically in this battle."
Zhang Cheng stared at Zhang Guangda with dagger-like eyes, and asked him word for word: "Zhang Guangda, I want to ask you, are Cheng Long's family members settled properly?"
When Gu Yu and Zhang Guangda heard this, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: Could it be that something happened to Cheng Long's family?
He knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly replied: "After returning to Xuan Town, the general personally visited Cheng Long's mother and two younger siblings. He also left money and food for the pension, and even asked He Shihui to help him in the future. The left and right sides of the town are called Zhaofu."
After Zhang Guangda finished speaking, he asked again: "Commander, something happened to Cheng Long's family?"
Zhang Cheng did not reply to him, but continued to ask: "Zhang Guangda, I want to ask you, how should you treat our army's leader?"
"Love a soldier like a son and treat him as a brother. You should undress him, feed him and share the joys and sorrows with him. Treat your brother's parents and children as my parents and children. If your brother dies in battle, you should support him in his old age. Caring for children..."
"What a 'undressing and feeding', what a 'supporting the old and caring for the young'!"
Zhang Cheng interrupted Zhang Guangda's words and asked him loudly: "Cheng Long's mother died of illness. The two brothers and sisters were bullied by bullies. Lin Fangqing took action in anger and was imprisoned in the military. But what are you doing?"
He seemed to be still angry and asked: "Is this what you call 'supporting the elderly and caring for the young'?"
Zhang Guangda was also shocked by this. When he saw Zhang Cheng getting angry, he knelt down and replied: "Commander, the general has been busy with military affairs and preparing for the expedition. It is true that he did not know about the changes in Brother Cheng Long's family. Please calm down, Commander."
Zhang Cheng stared at him and asked: "Cheng Long accompanied us on the expedition and died heroically in battle. He really contributed to the Ming Dynasty and was a model for all the soldiers. However, the bones of brother Cheng Long were still cold, and his younger siblings were bullied by local thugs.
This matter is like a sharp knife piercing my heart. If the officers and soldiers of the army hear about it, the general's mind will be unstable and his morale will be low, causing my victory in the battle to aid Liao to fall short. "
When he said this, his eyes shot out a penetrating cold light, and he said to Zhang Guangda in a cold tone: "Zhang Guangda, in order to boost the morale of the more than 10,000 troops under my command, so that all the soldiers can be brave in the battle to aid Liao. Charge and defeat the enemy with all your strength.
I am ordering you to take the official document of this commander and lead a team of sergeants to the town to bring the young siblings left behind by the Cheng Long brothers back to the North Road and take good care of them so that they can settle down and no longer be bullied by the gangsters. "
Zhang Guangda now fully understood the meaning of Zhang Cheng's words, and he shouted loudly: "Here!"
Zhang Cheng shouted again: "Anyone who despises my military orders while here in the town can be regarded as a crime of treason. They must be Tatar spies who want to destroy the morale of our army, but anyone who dares to stop them can do so." Kill them on the spot."
"Here!"
Zhang Cheng reminded him again: "One more thing. Lin Fangping's younger brother Lin Fangqing returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. On the way, he encountered the family members of Pao Ze in the army who were in trouble. He came to help but was wronged. You should rescue them together and bring them back to the north. road."
"Here!"
Zhang Cheng saw the perseverance in Zhang Guangda's eyes and knew that he understood what he meant. However, he was afraid that he would not understand the urgency of the matter, so he ordered: "Maybe things will not go smoothly, and the date for the army to send troops to Liaodong will be missed. You Now we will order five hundred fine cavalry, one man and three horses, and rush to the town at starry night."
He added: "If I don't take care of things, you don't have to come back!"
The expression on Zhang Guangda's face darkened, and he loudly received the order: "Please don't worry, Commander, Zhang Guangda has his head tucked into his belt and will do this beautifully."
"I don't want you to do it beautifully, but you must do it for me with great vigor!"
Zhang Guangda was stunned again, but soon understood the meaning of this sentence. He loudly agreed again and exited the official hall.
