Chapter 163: Zag
"In the end, the general thought that Mongolia was no longer the era when Genghis Khan swept the world, Mongolia had declined from its peak, and the Mongolian tribes were becoming more and more seriously divided.
Moreover, the lords of the various tribes of Monan have long had deep contradictions with the tiger squatting rabbit.
A few days ago, the right-wing tribes tried to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to restrain the tiger and get rid of its rule.
Now the Tiger Squatting Rabbit is on an expedition thousands of miles away from the Alu Division, and the right-wing departments have formed a coalition army, and the northern expedition Tiger Squatting Rabbit is staying at the Khalkha border.
When the tiger and rabbit return from the expedition, they will take bloody revenge.
At that time, the last general could take advantage of this contradiction to actively win over the Mongol tribes through the policy of inducement, marriage, and alliance, and use their military strength to adopt a strategy of supporting one and suppressing the other, and conquer the right-wing tribes that contend with them or are unwilling to be attached to the Ming Dynasty.
And then take advantage of the contradictions between the right-wing departments and the Tiger Squatting Rabbit Chahar Department to concentrate them under the command of the last general.
At that time, the combined military forces of the various ministries will be used to deal with the Chahar troops, and the general's soldiers and horses will assist from the side.
It will be able to overcome it in one fell swoop. ”
"Okay, General Wang's plan is very good, in this case, I will definitely risk my life to speak and ask for the right to make decisions for you."
Although Wang Chengen didn't know the soldiers, he also knew that Wang Zezhi had a plan to recover the Hetao, and he was not talking nonsense.
On the same day, Wang Chengen and Wang Zezhi talked for a long time, and finally got drunk and were carried back to the inn to rest.
Wang Zezhi's amount of alcohol can be practiced at the night snack stall, and Wang Chengen can't get him drunk yet.
Wang Zezhi walked out of the room and exhaled.
In front of the door, the acting battalion commander of the Tartar battalion received a month's salary, came to Wang Zezhi and bowed before leaving.
It's the first day of junior high school, and it's time to pay salaries.
Now, Wang Zezhi ordered Wang Shan to build internal ticket numbers in Fangshan Camp, Yuxian, Datong Mansion, Killing Hukou, and Naturalization City, which were specially used to distribute the food and salary of the soldiers.
They can keep and take it here as they go, and in the beginning, there are still quite a few sergeants who will take it out.
When Wang Zezhi announced that there would be ten cents of interest for a month of one tael of silver, the sergeants rushed to start saving money.
Ten cents is not a big problem for the current Wang Zezhi, and the protection fee collected by the naturalized city alone is more than enough to pay the interest on the sergeants' deposits.
Ten cents is also a lot of money for these sergeants.
Today, there are many more Mongols in the city of Guihua, and most of these people are family members of the cavalry of the Tartar battalion.
There were also some scattered tribes who had come to surrender.
Most of their tribes were wiped out by Lin Dan Khan, and they were left homeless and scattered all over the steppe.
Now the grassland is snowing heavily, the cold is extremely cold, and there is no food, these people can't survive.
When they heard that the city of naturalization was giving porridge, they all came to surrender with their families.
This was beyond Wang Zezhi's expectations.
In fact, to have such an effect, we have to start with this acting battalion commander of the Tartar battalion.
Since Wang Zezhi occupied Guihua City, he has been busy with military affairs and has not sent people to receive the herdsmen scattered around.
At the beginning of November, Wang Zezhi rewarded the soldiers for their meritorious deeds in Guihua City.
He divided the soldiers into twelve ranks, and whenever the sergeant won the first rank of the enemy, he was a first-class soldier, and he could get ten taels of silver and one stone of rice and grain.
If you get two heads, you can be a second-class soldier, and in addition to silver money and rice grain, you can also get one acre of fertile land.
If he can get six first ranks, he can be a third-class soldier, and in addition to the reward of a second-class soldier, he will also buy them a house in the county.
If you can get twelve heads, you can be a fourth-class soldier, and in addition to the reward of a third-class soldier, you can also marry a wife, and the money and food for the wife will be paid by the king...
And so on, the more you earn the first level, the more rewards you get.
He also divided the household registration into four categories: A, B, C, D, and the Tartar soldiers were all prisoners and classified as D.
But this rule is not dead.
Sergeants with Category D household registration, after their military merits reach the fourth level of soldiers, they can use their military merits to upgrade their household registration to Category C.
After the household registration is upgraded to Category C, the military merits will be cleared and accumulated again.
Since they are registered in the D category, there is no reward for acres of land and houses.
Therefore they could only receive silver taels and rice grain.
At the beginning, Wang Zezhi also thought about whether this would make the cavalry in the Tartar camp dissatisfied.
But after thinking about it for a while, Wang Zezhi stopped thinking about it.
Captives must have the consciousness of captives, and if they want to be treated the same as the sergeants, they must work harder. Reading Temple
From the battle of killing the tiger's mouth to the battle of Yunchuan, there are still cavalry of the Tartar battalion who have reached the military merits of the fourth-level soldiers.
Fourth-level military merit can be promoted to C-level household registration, and after becoming a C-level household registration, he is no longer a prisoner, but a sergeant under Wang Zezhi.
When these people received the silver and rice grain from the military awards, they fell to their knees and screamed excitedly.
Wang Zezhi originally thought that these people were excited.
Through Tomu's translation, he learned that these people begged Wang Zezhi to let them go back to their hometown, because their families were running out of food.
Wang Zezhi agreed without even thinking about it.
Tuo Mu next to Wang Zezhi, he didn't expect Wang Zezhi to even dare to agree to this kind of request.
Is he not afraid that these men will flee with the money and the grain?
Tom felt that he couldn't understand the bright man in front of him a little, and his eyes showed a strange light, and he secretly made up his mind.
If these people ran away with the money and food, the king would not be uncomfortable at all, and he would be glad that a group of traitors had been tested in advance.
Zag, his family is in the area of Chier Mountain, north of Naturalization City.
After his tribe was attacked by Lin Dan Khan, he followed Lin Dan Khan.
However, in the battle of Datong Mansion, he and the army were separated.
In the end, he was arrested by Wang Zezhi's bandit brigade, and after Li Hua's training, he was incorporated into the Tartar camp to serve Wang Zezhi.
At this moment, he looked at the silver and rice grain in his hand in disbelief, which was grateful to Wang Zezhi from the bottom of his heart.
After he followed Lin Dan Khan, he had never received such a rich reward.
After he received the reward, he immediately thought of his family in Muchier Mountain.
Now that the weather on the grassland is getting colder and colder, he is afraid that his family will starve to death and freeze to death.
Immediately he fell to his knees and pleaded.
What he didn't expect was that Wang Zezhi actually agreed to his request.
After they reported the time to return to the camp, they went home with money and food.
Zag once again expressed his gratitude to Wang Zezhi.
He took the silver he received and bought iron pots, tea leaves, and salt in the market in Guihua City.
He loaded the grain he had received on his horse, and rode his horse towards the place where his family was grazing in Chiershan.
Chier Mountain, outside the yurt of the Zag family.
His father was about to kill the last sheep in the family.
"Abu, don't kill it, okay? It has lambs. ”
Zag's sister wept and begged his father not to kill the sheep.
This is a pregnant ewe.
Zag's father looked at his emaciated wife and daughter and sighed hard.
With a fierce heart, he turned the ewe over and pressed it to the ground.
He believed in the Yellow Sect, which believed that the souls of animals moved with their gaze.
And cattle, sheep and other livestock, since birth, with their eyes turned to the earth, have been searching for grass all their lives without having the opportunity to see the sky, and their souls have no chance to look at the sky.
Therefore, when killing a sheep, turn it over so that it faces the sky, so that when it dies, its eyes look at the sky, so that after their death, their souls can transcend as soon as possible and ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
"My children, be of good cheer, for when they die, their souls will ascend to heaven."
"No, Eji." Zag's sister clutched at her mother's sleeve, hoping that her mother would stop her father.
But her mother couldn't help it, and she was hungry too.
In order not to starve their daughter, they eat a little bit every meal, and they haven't eaten enough for a long time.
Now that winter is coming, there is nothing left to eat on the steppe.
They were going to go out for a walk after eating the sheep and maybe find something to eat somewhere else.
Zag's father was also a little unbearable, and if he didn't kill the ewe, the lamb would be born in a few months.
But now they are dying of hunger, and they can't do so much.
Just as he was determined to kill the ewe, he faintly heard a cry, especially like that of his son.
