Chapter 118: Famous General
Those terrifying-looking heads untied their hair so casually, tied around the waists of the banner soldiers, and shook with the movement as they moved.
Those terrible features, and even wide eyes, seemed to be glaring at themselves.
Each person has one or two or even three or four heads around his waist, and the total number of heads is nearly nine hundred, or even more.
Before welcoming the flag army, no one expected to see such a scene, it was simply a nightmare within a nightmare, and even in a nightmare, normal people would not dream of such a scene.
"The so-called beheading Qin army is what it looks like in front of you, right?" Guan Lei is different from Wang Mingyuan and others, he usually likes to read miscellaneous books, and the so-called situation of hanging the head on his waist and scrambling to snatch military merits for the army recorded in the pre-Qin period, this scholar has always thought that it was an exaggerated description in the book, and at this moment, Guan Lei couldn't help but murmur: "It turns out that there is no exaggeration and inaccuracy in the book. ”
"I'm afraid this is deliberate by Deputy Min Qianhu." Ding Ruqi's kung fu of cultivating qi and calming down was much stronger than Wang Mingyuan, and he also calmed down at this time, and whispered: "These hundreds of banner troops have gone from Hebei to Baihu like this, and within a few days, the name of Min Deputy Thousand Households will not only spread in our Yunti Pass, but I am afraid that Guannan, Yancheng, Huai'an, Andong, can it be spread all over the place?" Wait for the first level to be picked up tomorrow, and after a while, Min Qianhu will take the first level to Nanjing to ask for credit, and our Min Deputy Qianhu is afraid that he will be promoted to a few levels. ”
"At the very least, it's the command." Wang Mingyuan didn't know what it was like in his heart, but this time he didn't say anything strange, and even his tone was quite peaceful.
The second sister next to her glanced at her brother quite strangely, and the second sister was quite clear about her brother's usual attitude.
Wang Mingyuan smiled slightly bitterly and didn't explain anything.
There must be some original emotions, and some of them are really unaccustomed to martial arts, and the arrogance of the people who have always been scholars. But Wang Mingyuan also understood at this time that his hostility and unwillingness also came from the jealousy in his heart.
He is a few years older than Min Yuanqi, and he was admitted to Xiucai before, and all the hundreds of households nearby, even Li Kecheng, Min Qiande and others all looked up to him.
Once Wang Mingyuan was promoted and jinshi, his status was not comparable to that of these military attachés.
Wang Mingyuan has always had pride and self-esteem in his heart, and when Min Yuanqi sprung up, he made a lot of unimaginable things in a row, and even when his father Wang Sanyi was arrested and Wang Mingyuan had no choice, it was Min Yuanqi who brazenly led people into Shuiguan and rescued Wang Sanyi after killing the scoundrels in Shuiguan.
Coupled with their cooperation, the Wang family's father and son also had to work for Min Yuanqi, which made Wang Mingyuan unwilling, unwilling, and unconvinced.
This jealousy has finally come to naught today.
When a person suddenly has an achievement, it will surprise and envy the people around him, and the difference between the two achievements is not far behind, and the feeling of jealousy is even more difficult to suppress.
But if the difference between the achievements of the two is too far to be reasonable, then this jealousy will be transformed into a helpless state of mind, and even if it cannot be turned into admiration and respect, it is unlikely that there will still be jealousy and unwillingness.
This kind of change, Wang Mingyuan himself is quite clear and understandable, but even for his sister, Wang Mingyuan does not intend to say this kind of emotional change, after all, it is really not enough for outsiders.
And Wang Sanyi, Li Guoding, Zhu Wen and others, shocked and a little afraid, the rest of the emotions were just pride and pride.
The flag army in front of them almost appeared from scratch in front of them, although these flag armies came from several hundred households, but the farthest distance was only more than ten miles, and usually a few hundred households walked around each other, it could not be said that they knew each other completely and could call all their names, but almost all of them were familiar faces, and most of them could call their names.
is a familiar face and a familiar name, most of them are the descendants of the two hundred household officials, and they are also a group of people who are quite familiar to Zhuwen and others.
It is such a group of people, a few months ago, they were still poor military families struggling with rags and clothing, and their long-term hunger made them yellow and thin and listless, and because of their low status for a long time, they were quite timid and fearful, and even had an obscene temperament.
Now, after a long period of well-fed training, everyone's body shape is stronger and more proportionate, and the more obvious change is the look in their eyes.
Words such as blazing and godly are not enough to describe these banner armies.
It can be said that the spirit has undergone earth-shaking changes!
There is a god in the eyes, a powerful walk, a calm and confident temperament, and what is even more frightening is the murderous aura looming in the eyes!
If it weren't for watching these descendants grow up, knowing their names and even their family heritage, when these flag soldiers gathered together and walked with their heads hanging, I am afraid that even Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding and others would not dare to look at them directly!
What surprised Wang Sanyi, Li Guoding and others even more was Min Yuanqi's condolences to the families of the deceased flag army.
It's not the kind of going through the motions, it's not the mercy of the big people looking at the ants, in addition to the generous pension, Min Yuanqi has forcibly walked away from the homes of more than a dozen fallen soldiers in hundreds of households.
Door-to-door condolences, condolences, and military salutes.
After Min Yuanqi went out, even the family members who were in a sad mood disappeared from the original dissatisfaction, resentment, and even hostility in their hearts.
From another point of view, if there is no Min Yuanqi, any small group of bandits can rob this hundred households, and then the jade will be burned, who knows if the death of their family is just a man, woman, child, who dares to say that they can be safe?
Although there are men in the family who died in the war, the generous pensions and continuous subsidies have made these family members feel at ease, and Min Yuanqi is not afraid of the fatigue after the war, and personally goes door-to-door, and some dissatisfaction and resentment naturally disappear.
"I'll go to the rest of the 100 households tomorrow." What shocked Wang Sanyi and others was the sentence of Min Yuanqi.
"It's unexpected." Li Guoding said to Wang Sanyi: "He can actually do this. ”
"This dynasty is going to be a famous general again."
"It's just a little late."
No matter how proud a few scholars are in their hearts, they have nothing to say after seeing Min Yuanqi's performance, and even Guan Lei said with regret: "Deputy Min Qianhu may catch up with Qi Shuai back then, but unfortunately in this situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support ...... alone."
Everyone didn't think of this, recently, Min Yuanqi would ask people to read aloud in the barracks every day, so that his officers and soldiers would know what had happened over the years.
This trend also affected the entire 300 households and the nearby 100 households, and even the most ordinary banner army and Yu Ding were aware of the general changes.
The Jingshi was besieged, the emperor was trapped, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger.
As soon as they thought of this, everyone showed regret, indeed, if Min Yuanqi had appeared twenty years earlier, he might have become a heavy general like Zuo Liangyu long ago, and the control of many general soldiers under his command was enough to affect the overall situation of the world.
But if Min Yuanqi knew this, he was afraid that he would just smile lightly.
With Chongzhen's character, Min Yuanqi will either be used as a discard, or he will have to learn from Zuo Liangyu and become a warlord.
If you want to be a warlord, you have to be kind to your subordinates and indulge the remnants of your subordinates.
Whether it is Zuo Liangyu or He Renlong, or any famous general, who does not regard the people as grass mustard, and does not care at all how the soldiers under his command kill the people.
The reason is also simple, if this generation wants to survive, it is impossible not to indulge the soldiers, indulge the soldiers, and marry the soldiers, so that the soldiers can be kept private, and the court is nothing.
In this way, he can resist Chongzhen's indiscriminate command, or the emperor's murderous intent at will.
Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, to the present Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, as well as Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, most of these generals who lived to Chongzhen around 17 years ago are the essence of people who have understood the truth.
Min Yuanqi either became a warlord he looked down on, or he died loyally to serve the country, without any chance and hope before Chongzhen seventeen years ago.
The rise of Qi Jiguang was first Hu Zongxian, and then Zhang Juzheng, and the first person to be purged after Wanli took power was Qi Jiguang, who was loyal and righteous for generations, and was directly exiled to Guangzhou from Jiubian.
Yu Dayou has ups and downs, and his life is bleak.
However, Li Chengliang, who occupied a large number of military fields to raise his family and private soldiers, and strengthened the strength of the family for his own use, was rich and noble all his life, his sons were rich and noble, the family was continuous, and he also won the title of Earl Ning Yuan, if it were not for the Jurchen rebellion, the Li family would be able to rule Liaodong for at least a hundred years, and the Li family would be the de facto king of Liaodong.
After Li Chengliang, several commanders of Liao Town in the imperial court were unstable and could not stand, and only the Li family's talent town lived in the town, and the reason for this is self-evident.
With a system like the Ming Dynasty, even if Min Yuanqi was born twenty years early, it would be a good result if he was not hidden by the bird's bow, but it is more likely that he was framed by civil officials just after he rose, and the generals were squeezed out, and the emperor used it to the fullest and wore out his sharpness and strength.
……
After arriving at the barracks area, Min Yuanqi unloaded his armor with all the soldiers on the school field, looking at the flags with their heads still hanging on their military robes, Min Yuanqi waved his hand and said, "Why don't you take off your military robe and rest after washing?" Tomorrow, the whole army will be rewarded with pickaxes, sheep and pigs will be slaughtered, and each person will be given a pot of wine, and the flag army will be given two stones of grain per person, four stones for the team officers, eight stones for the flag captain, and a total of twenty stones for one hundred and twenty stones, which will be the reward for today's victory. The day after tomorrow we will resume normal training, and we must not slack off, otherwise military law will be just as unforgiving. Don't think that you can win a battle, today's enemy is just a rabble, whether it is a ragtag, a rogue, which one is not stronger than these indiscriminate bandits, if someone is arrogant, be careful to pacify the soldier's stick! ”
Although Min Yuanqi finally warned the soldiers that these guys would not really have pride and corrupt military discipline, giving wine and meat and resting for a day was already a great grace to the flag soldiers.
The drills in the army are quite strict and even a little cruel, and although no one has died in training so far, many people feel that it will be sooner or later.
Whether it is pulling or running laps, or the training of equipment fighting, it is necessary for the flag soldiers to do their best, and someone will be injured at the end of training every day.
But no one can be relaxed, housekeeping, training summary, team officers and above have to participate in all kinds of small stove tutoring, everyone feels miserable.
For many people, if there is no military law, salary income, and real threats, I am afraid that there is really no way to persevere.
It is also strange to say that the first ten days of the first month are the most difficult, but the flag army, which has lasted for more than a month, will be very suitable for this kind of high-intensity training, including all kinds of strange regulations.
For example, washing water before meals, queuing up to eat, sitting should straighten the waist, everyone's tableware should be cleaned and placed neatly, including towels, hats, and various utensils in the residence, how to place them have certain rules.
After every outsider enters the barracks, they will be surprised by the neatness and orderliness in the barracks, and even many people feel that Min Yuanqi's various regulations are too strict and trivial, or even unnecessarily strict.
But Min Yuanqi persevered, and the flag soldiers who stayed behind were completely adapted.
The flag army, which has been holding out for more than two months, now gives a day or two off to go home, and it is already difficult to adapt to the casual lifestyle of the civilians.
This is the result that Min Yuanqi wants, that is, to integrate the soldiers into the whole system, and now it seems that this plan is quite useful and effective.
