Although the Eight Banners Army is retreating in an extremely relaxed posture, it does not mean that this army, which is on the rise, has lost its basic vigilance.

Therefore, the Eight Banners Army in the corridor outside the mountain felt that something was wrong that afternoon.

Under normal circumstances, the sentry team that was released to reconnoiter the flank according to the regulations would send people back every once in a while to report the situation.

Even if the road in the mountains is detoured, or if the sentry finds some Mingren village or something slaughtering happily in it, it is impossible to disappear for twenty-four hours. You must know that these are three elite sentinels, and one of them is a white armor, how can you slack off like this?

It could be that something went wrong.

So on the morning of the next day, ten heavily armed Eight Banner soldiers entered from the mountain pass and began to reconnoiter and advance along the route of yesterday's sentry.

Under normal circumstances, ten sentries are a very strong force. In mountainous areas where the formation is inconvenient, these people are not afraid of any number of Ming troops - more running, less fighting. The Ming army, which was waiting for dozens of people, was no match for this team at all.

In fact, the Eight Banners have been conquering all the way this year, and they have never been defeated by the Ming army with fewer people than themselves, but a small number of people chasing a large number of Ming troops to catch ducks have happened from time to time.

But the good fortune of the Eight Banners ended here.

Just as they entered the valley, the trap that had been prepared began to be launched.

The special combat team members who were lying in ambush on the hills on both sides steadily knocked out the Eight Banners sentry on the ridge with four bullets.

The remaining six people at the bottom of the valley faced dozens of soldiers from the Flying Tiger Battalion who poured out from the opposite side.

This time, Mei Fuxi is no longer a rookie, and as soon as he meets the Eight Banners, he raises his gun and steadily puts down one. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Eight Banners turned around and left, not wanting to be on the other side of the valley, and the ambush soldiers who were accurately mobilized by walkie-talkies appeared.

The battle ended quickly.

When everything was cleaned up, the excited Mingren quickly retreated under the order.

Things have developed to this point, and the Flying Tiger Battalion, which has come out for actual combat training, has successfully completed all the subjects, and it is time to return to Tianjin to rest.

In this expedition, the troops not only familiarized themselves with the terrain of the battle, but also felt the atmosphere of actual combat; The soldiers also eliminated the Tartars with their own hands, breaking the invincible image of the Tartars in the hearts of the Ming people, which can be described as a full harvest.

As for staying any longer, there is no need.

Not only will there be problems with supplies, but the special operations command will not want to be caught by surprise before a large-scale operation.

This time I practiced, and secretly defeating a few sentry squads was the limit.

If the retreating Eight Banners army realizes that there are still a large number of elite troops hidden in the remnants of Yanshan Mountain in the south, then the Tartars will inevitably deploy troops and a large number of sentinels on this flank.

In this way, it will be troublesome the next time the crossing crowd really comes to make trouble.

So the Flying Tiger Battalion walked gently, not taking away the clouds of Yanshan, only taking away some Tartar corpses and captured horses, leaving the suspense to the Eight Banners soldiers who came to search later.

On the second day of the retreat of the entire Flying Tiger Battalion, the entire three Niu Lu, with a total of 900 Eight Banner Cavalry, rushed into this mountain range.

After a few days of careful search of this mountainous area, which is not large in total area and only 100 miles thick, the Eight Banners found nothing but a few scattered mountain villages where the mountain people had long since run out.

At the same time, Tianjin, which is more than 200 miles away, has become a sensation again: the general army of the southerners who has never stopped these days, the green jacket army under his command actually killed more than ten Tartars, and brought back the corpse capital, let the natives go and look at it casually!

The old school yard was once again crowded.

In the cold wind, the corpses of more than a dozen real Tartars were thrown naked in the middle of the school yard for people to visit, and the armor, weapons, and waist cards of the Tartars were placed next to them.

Most of them came to see the lively Tianjin people, and this time they finally saw the legendary real Tartar.

After seeing the human head with a face full of dead meat, a hideous face, and a pig's tail, these melon-eating people who came to the school field on a cold day couldn't help but let out a series of "tsk" sounds, and then pulled their hands out of their cuffs and gave a thumbs up to the deputy master standing there guarding: "Hero!" Give Tianjin gentlemen a face! ”

From this moment on, the Flying Tiger Battalion has truly become an army in the eyes of the local natives, rather than a rabble playing with tickets.

God, just yesterday, the Flying Tiger Camp wearing a funny green jacket was still the standard material used by the old and young masters in Tianjin to make fun of after dinner......

The impact of this change is far-reaching. In the increasingly obvious turbulent times, a force that has both silver and force to protect the lives and property of its collaborators will undoubtedly receive more attention and investment from "people with hearts".

The routines of the Chinese people for thousands of years to control the cycle of chaos, how to survive in the troubled times, do not need much superb wisdom, flip through the history books, and have everything.

Since the formation of the Flying Tiger Battalion, these people who were forced to shave their heads and wear green jackets to earn money for the Nanren army have become the objects of ridicule by the natives.

In addition, the Flying Tiger Battalion only runs around every day, and I don't see that they have the intention of resisting the Tartars to save the emperor, so the old and young masters in Tianjin have already identified this green jacket battalion: it is a waste battalion raised by the general soldiers of the southers in order to fool the imperial court and spend money to prevaricate that they dare not go to the battle formation.

These days, all kinds of envy of Cao Da's soldiers and the incompetence of the Green Jacket Camp are the most popular topics for the Tianjin Wei people.

I didn't expect a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but the Green Jacket Camp brought back so many Tartar corpses this time!

What is unbelievable about this is, first of all, Tianjin's civil bureaucratic system.

........................

Since the right of the Ming Dynasty to inspect military merits is in the hands of civilian officials, the counterpart department of this matter, Brother Kong Peng, who is in charge of military preparation, hurried to the school as soon as he heard the news.

At this time, personal grievances are naturally put aside for the time being.

Regardless of whether the surname Cao lied about his military exploits or really killed the Tartars, Kong Peng must have first-hand information, which is a serious business. Of course, according to the results of the autopsy, Kong Peng will naturally adjust his attitude towards private matters afterwards.

If the head of the Tartar is fake, then as a soldier, he will definitely report to the court about Cao Manzi's bad deeds of not moving forward, greedy for life and afraid of death, only doing business and ignoring the emperor, and lying about military exploits.

If the Tartar human head is real...... It's going to take a bit of thought.

After all, at this time of Shenzhou's bandang, those who can have the ability to take the head of the Tartars are all fragrant and sweet in the eyes of the emperor and the court bosses, as long as they don't rebel, no matter how big their sins can be forgiven, so there is no need to die with the Nanban, right? In the final analysis, there is no deep hatred between each other that cannot be resolved, it is all official business, official business......

With such an attitude, Kong Baishi hurried to the school in a warm sedan chair.

After arriving at the ground, he ordered the guards to drive away and run to the school field to see the people of the Tartars, and Kong Yanshi took official steps and staggered to the middle of the school field.

The next moment, Master Kong, who has a lot of experience in the heads of all ethnic groups, picked up the head of the green-skinned tartar and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp: This is a real tartar!

The current imperial court head military merit market is like this: the serious Manchu Eight Banners is the first gear, and it is a BMW. Meng Baqi is the second gear, which is considered Audi, as for those Han army coats, this cannot be regarded as military merit in many cases, after all, it is not easy to distinguish from killing good and imposting merits, so it is at most Alto.

Due to the different circumstances, many things cannot be faked, at least in the seventeenth century, when there were no four evil arts: the real Manchu soldiers' heads are very different from the Han people in terms of appearance, hairstyle, skin, teeth, and other details, and they can be distinguished at a glance.

In addition, the heads of the Mengbaqi that are perennial mixed grasslands also have obvious characteristics.

When Master Kong carefully examined the head, he had to admit that these were the most valuable real tartars in front of him. At this moment, the old man's heart suddenly rippled.

After that, Master Kong inspected the corpses, armor and tokens.

After reading it, he had to admit that the surname Cao had done a good job, and it seemed that those subordinates had really done their best for the silver. There are a total of five full Tartar heads, eight Mongolian Tartar heads, with real Tartars, none of them are false or missing, and even the identity name can be called.

Thinking about the silver in the hand of the surnamed Cao, who was like a mountain and a sea, after inspecting the head, Master Kong, after thinking about it on the spot in the school field, still made a move to ease the relationship between the two parties according to the plan before he came.

First of all, as an authoritative department, Master Kong issued authoritative information to the more and more people gathered behind him: These are all real tartars on the ground, and the official has checked them one by one, and he will report to the imperial court to ask for merit for General Cao in the near future.

After saying this paragraph publicly, Master Kong asked to see Cao Zongbing.

Cao Zongbing naturally would not refuse a meeting between the two sides, after all, no matter what he said, Bingbeidao was the counterpart unit in Tianjin responsible for reporting military merits, and Kong Peng was willing to take the initiative to ask for a meeting, which was undoubtedly a good thing.

So the guests and hosts had a friendly meeting in the new brick-built office of Cao Zongbing, feeling the heating from the boiler room next door, enjoying the latest sugar water lychees shipped from the south.

The meeting was a complete success on the basis of consultations on an equal footing. The two sides reached a consensus on the matter of retribution of common concern, and unanimously stated that they will strive to promote the development of departments in the future, so as to achieve mutual benefit and public and private convenience.

After that, when sending Master Kong out, Mr. Cao took out the merit list from his sleeve and handed it out.

The first place on the merit list is Young Master Mei Fuximei.

Young Master Mei ranked first on the list with two full Tartars and one Mongolian Tartar killed enemies.

After learning the news, Young Master Mei was dumbfounded: the only thing he really killed with his own hands was the later Mantar, as for the green-skinned Tartar for the first time...... Don't talk about it.

So Mei Fuxi hurriedly ran to find Second Master Chen, wanting to ask why Second Master put all the credit on him, a rookie.
