Chapter 117: The Head

Min Yuanqi looked at it solemnly, and there were some far-reaching touches in his heart.

Clans, inheritances, civilizations, and even living.

Are these people in front of you the inheritors of the most glorious and proud civilization in East Asia?

Why did this civilization come to this?

From the pre-Qin and Han dynasties to the end of the Ming Dynasty, more than 1,000 years of history, is there only poverty and paper-filled "great hunger" or "cannibalism"?

"My nephew volunteered to help the military families of each hundred families." Min Yuanqi looked at Min Qiande and said: "It's that each hundred households may not be willing to accept it, each family has its own charter, and there are three points of land in front of the door, I'm afraid I don't want my little nephew to point fingers!" ”

"You're stupid too." Min Qiande looked at Min Yuanqi and said: "With your current strength, even Li Kecheng will also welcome you, and the rest of the hundreds of households will slowly take care of them one by one, or impeach or remove them, with me, with Li Kecheng's help, you are also a deputy thousand households, is it not a matter of picking up a few hundred households?" And you just take advantage of this to help your people to the position of 100 households, your subordinates can report military merits, and you take out the official positions of 100 households, one can install your own people, and the other can reward merit, isn't it two birds with one stone? ”

Min Qiande's idea is really wonderful, even if the Ming Dynasty arrives at this time, even if it is a few decades later, the serious official position of the Ming Dynasty is enough to impress and win people's hearts.

Min Yuanqi has no intention of rebelling, not to mention his family inheritance and heart, that is, even if the people around him have an indifferent attitude towards the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to take the initiative to rebel against the Ming.

At least with Min Yuanqi's current status and prestige, he just put up the anti-flag on his front foot, and he was afraid that most of the flag troops in the camp would run away on his back foot, and the rest were afraid that they were thinking about capturing him and taking him to the officials.

It may not be so pessimistic, but it is about the same.

Since there is no rebellion and self-reliance at this time, the soldiers under his command still quite recognize the official position of the Ming Dynasty, and take out a certain number of hundreds of households, the official position of the general banner, to use it to strengthen the loyalty of the subordinates, isn't it a good deal without capital and profit?

"Uncle clan said this, I'm afraid it will be hard for my uncle to run again."

"It's okay, there are so many heads this time, as long as you bring less silver to make a point, you have the skill of beheading, and Uncle Wei doesn't have to use silver everywhere to open the way like last time, and accompany the smiling face to open the joints."

Last time, Min Qiande went to Nanjing in person and bought a position as a deputy thousand households for Min Yuanqi.

When I came back, I said that things went smoothly and I didn't spend much money.

The Ming Dynasty is not like the Qing Dynasty, and things like selling officials and lords still can't be done, civil officials are absolutely not selling, and no matter how much money you donate, you can't buy an official position, at most some treatment, such as prison qualifications, or give some ranks.

In terms of military attachés, they can donate silver to the level, for example, Min Yuanqi was originally a trial of 100 households, and donating a certain amount of silver can be upgraded to 100 households, and directly to the deputy thousand households, which is a bit unruly, so you have to use silver to open the way.

Min Qiande was an understatement when he first mentioned this matter, but now it seems that thousands of foreign households without roots have suffered a lot of white eyes in a place like Nanjing, which is full of nobles, and they have also suffered some hardships.

This time is indeed different from the last time, no matter what, I brought nearly a thousand heads to Nanjing to report for merit, I am afraid it is enough to cause a sensation.

"The Wei Command Office asked Li Kecheng to report, get an approval, and the old man will go more steadily." Min Qiande stroked his beard and smiled: "So Li Kecheng is an interesting person, and the old man has also saved a lot of trouble, and also saved a lot of hands and feet." ”

Min Yuanqi smiled when he heard it, it was impossible for the Min family to have any unusual thoughts before the battle, if Li Kecheng was really not interested in the battle, then it was very possible that this person suddenly "died" at home, maybe just after Li Kecheng arrived, Min Qiande had this kind of thought, Li Qianhu's knowledge and knowledge really picked up a life for himself.

"It's up to my uncle to arrange everything." Min Yuanqi has no special thoughts about the things below, and it would be a good thing if Min Qiande managed it for himself.

This is the advantage of the family, the disadvantage of the family is that the elder may be decrepit, and the clansmen are involved in internal friction with each other, but the advantage is that the Min family is like this, and the talent of Min Yuanqi is fully supported, at least at this stage, it is not asking for returns.

Min Qiande nodded lightly and said, "In this way, we can turn back with the army." ”

Then Min Qiande glared, scolded Min Yuan, who was waiting proudly on the side, and said: "Bastard, you are a subordinate of Yuan Qi in the army, wait for you to return home on vacation, see if I don't peel your skin!" ”

As long as the people present are not stupid, of course, it is impossible to believe that Min Qiande really wants to reprimand Min Yuanzhi for his performance in today's war, the old man's reprimand, the tone when he said it was full of pride, the Min family had a Min Yuanqi is enough to surprise an old man like Min Qiande, Min Yuanzhi's brilliant performance today, of course, it is even more gratifying to Min Qiande, such reprimanding words are just an expression of a habitually majestic father's pride and pride in himself.

……

It was already dark when the flag army turned around, the battlefield had been cleaned up, the corpses had been buried, and if it weren't for the fact that there were pools of blood and a strong smell of fish everywhere on the battlefield, I am afraid that no one would have known what had happened.

The seriously wounded had been sent back in advance, and there were still fifty or sixty minor injuries in the ranks, such as being stabbed or not being pierced by an arrow in a vital place, and after bandaging and debridement, this minor injury was not only not fatal, but also did not have much impact on the mobility of the wounded.

In the low military song, Min Yuanqi's banner is in front, Wang Wumai is as his name, tall and straight, heroic temperament, after the original flag bearer was injured, it was held by the original family of Min Yuanqi.

The big flag fluttered, the military song was melodious, and after the twilight was low, the flag soldiers lit the torches one after another, and after crossing the river, the column was like a long dragon, and went straight to the direction of the village entrance of the 300th household.

After arriving at the hundred households, as expected, there have been many people in front of the door pasted white paper, the family sent a man to the city to buy white cloth, to tomorrow, it may be the door of the house to tree the white banner of the mourning shed, a tragic scene.

However, among the hundreds of households, the atmosphere is not too low, and there are even many people who hide joy in their eyebrows, but other people's families are doing funerals, and they are not good at showing it.

Of the more than 20 banner troops killed in the battle, about half of them were from the 100 households, and the other half were from several nearby 100 households.

In a large village with a population of more than 700, the death of about 10 people is indeed a big deal, but when you think about the pressure that bandits and rogues have put on the entire 100 households recently, and if the Banner Army is defeated after the defeat of the entire 100 households, people's happiness and even excitement are really nothing to blame.

When a loved one dies, the saddest thing is still relatives and friends, and it is quite rare for the rest of the people to say two sad words.

What's more, every family of the flag army who died in battle, Min Yuanqi and all the 100 generals and deputy 100 military attachés came to the door in person to offer condolences, coupled with generous pension conditions, although they were saddened by the death of their relatives, the atmosphere in the entire hundred households was still quite positive, and sadness was inevitable, but on the whole, the people's hearts were not only not depressed, but had a sense of high spirits.

It's a strange thing not to go up, the threat is lifted, Min Yuanqi and his banner army have proved the responsibility to protect the township, there are not many bandits here in Yunti Pass, and the remaining bandits and pirates will not be able to come to Yunti Pass here to find death, and there will be no threat of bandits after that, this is already a great joy.

Moreover, the salt pond can be dug smoothly, and everyone is looking forward to the day when the output of dried salt can reach 200,000 catties a day, 6 million catties a month or even higher.

With an income of tens of thousands of taels of silver in this month, it is equivalent to more than 100,000 stone of grain in hand, although most of the income belongs to Min Yuanqi, and it is bound to be taken out to raise soldiers, but the remaining part is enough for the people involved in this matter to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing!

After all, the wails are in the minority, and it is not surprising that the entire hundred households have a high-spirited and uplifting atmosphere.

After entering the village, Zhu Wen, Shen Yong, Chen De, Wang Sanyi, Wang Mingyuan, Second Sister, Li Guoding and others also greeted them.

The officials and craftsmen of these related hundred households and this hundred households also have excitement, surprise, and quite obvious awe between their eyebrows.

More than 1,000 bandits and pirates were wiped out in the first battle, even after seeing the military appearance of the flag army before the war, many people judged that most of the battles could be won, but winning so neatly and killing so happily is still something that many people can't imagine.

And when the passing flag army passed by, the residual murderous aura on everyone's face made these people who came up tremble, including Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding and other hundred household officials.

At this point, people have realized in their hearts that what official positions, family backgrounds, and the set of Laoshzi in the officialdom in the past are afraid that there is no meaning in front of Min Yuanqi!

With hundreds of strong elites in hand, Min Yuanqi is at least a guerrilla general, and even surpasses it.

Daming battalion generals, aside from the official positions brought by family status, the strong general army will have thousands of elites as core subordinates, among which there may be hundreds to thousands of family members, plus the elites of the battalions under control, and the strength of about 3,000 people is completely qualified to be the general soldier.

The deputy general has a few hundred subordinates, and he can control 2,000 subordinates.

There are two or three hundred generals in the generals, and there are more than 100 horsemen in charge of the guerrilla generals, and it is almost the same.

There are more than 400 people under Min Yuanqi's command, all of whom can be regarded as family members, and this strength is more than enough to be a general.

Of course, these are boring calculations, what Min Yuanqi wants is the Cloud Ladder Pass, and the current situation is just a step-by-step ladder.

Everyone was in awe, and the etiquette was a lot polite, even Wang Mingyuan, who had always looked down on Min Yuanqi, a martial artist, also put down the show at this time, with a look of surprise on his face, when everyone was deep, he had to bend down with Guan Lei, Ding Ruqi and other reading friends, and saluted Min Qiande, Min Yuanqi and others.

Although in terms of official status, these people were Xiucai and Tong Sheng, but if they were not deterred by the prestige of the flag army at this time, Wang Mingyuan, Guan Lei and others would not bow to this group of military attaches even if they were killed.

Even if he did it reluctantly, there was still some unwillingness and faint anger in his heart......

But when the flag army approached, everyone couldn't help but bow down a little more, including these scholars.

Almost every flag army has a head hanging from its waist!

The head, the head of the person, was cut off from the neck, the broken bones, the minced flesh, and the uncoagulated blood dripped on the person, and the flag army who was originally wearing a red robe seemed to have a layer of bewitching and strange ruddy color, which was even more terrifying and frightened.

Those heads hung on their waists, swaying with the shaking of the flag soldiers' walking, those faces that made people look at nightmares and the hanging heads together, swaying around the waist of the flag soldiers, some of them were not blind, some of them seemed to be serene, but more of them were all kinds of terrifying deaths, extremely hideous, extremely terrifying, and people were scattered at a glance, and they felt extremely terrifying!

Wang Mingyuan felt that the blood all over his body was congealed!
