Chapter 31 Is This the Pillar of the Ming Dynasty?
The pressure on Fan Zhiwan's shoulders is heavier than Qiu Minyang's, so he also attaches more importance to the good news and looks forward to it.
When the elder next to him came to report that Zheng Zhilong had good news, he pulled his three-way long beard and was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but then he was shocked and happy, and suffered from gains and losses. I really want to know the authenticity of this good news, but I am worried that Zheng Zhilong lied about his military exploits.
He walked out of the room quickly, strode from the backyard to the second gate, his mood calmed down, and his mind calmed down. Then there was a self-deprecating smile, "Go and call that person to meet in court." ”
He was a dignified supervisor, and he actually greeted the second gate for a good news. It's a joke!
However, then again, what a great military feat it is to restore Yaozhou and add five hundred heads. With this military feat, how much can the pressure on his body be reduced?
Now, in the entire Ningyuan City, why is Qiu Minyang in a hurry to rush to the public office? What's more, Fan Zhiwan is so excited that he can't help himself?
Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and others, one is counted as one, and now all of them are like this.
Gai because, if you have a head, you will have military merits, and you will have a reason to explain to the capital. Even if you still have to be reprimanded by the emperor, you don't have to touch Jianyu's knife, your life is saved, and your strength is saved, isn't it?
No one would think that Zheng Zhilong had really cut the heads of five hundred True Tartars, but as long as there were one hundred and ten, then he could boast a lot. After all, the so-called Ning Yuan Great Victory had only cut two hundred and sixty-nine heads.
Of course, if you want to get a profit for nothing, it is impossible. Zheng Zhilong, who has money, food and territory, is not a weak stubble!
But each of them is willing to spend a lot of money!
When Qiu Minyang arrived, all he saw was a car full of heads, which could be seen from the color and taste of the skin, all of which were fresh. But to his surprise, Fan Zhiwan did not ask people to test the head, but sat in the lobby neatly dressed.
Inspecting the head is the usual method used by civil officials in the Ming Dynasty to deal with military generals, and the Ming and Qing dynasties have been at war for so many years, and they have really made those literati find some methods.
For example, put the head in the water tank, whether the head is facing up or the back of the head is facing up, if it is a man's head, it will float face up in the water tank. Secondly, look at the braids, if it is a tartar that has been shaved for a long time, its braids must be soft and weak. Otherwise, it is blunt. Finally, the Tatar soldiers eat more meat, and their tooth decay is different from that of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Finally, it is necessary to check the light and comprehensively determine whether it is a real Tartar head.
But now these Fan Zhi are completely useless.
Qiu Min walked in, and the first thing he saw was that the person who reported the victory was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion but a bit of a bookish atmosphere.
When he was young, Wu Sangui and others all came, staring at Shi Fu hotly.
Fan Zhiwan raised his hand at this time, revealing a book in his palm, "Since you have all arrived, let's explain the matter." ”
"Shi Fu."
"The lower official is here."
"And the public here will subdivide it in detail." But he had already lowered his head and looked through the paperwork again. Zheng Zhilong actually wanted to buy Niuzhuang, which is a very critical place. A hub for land and water transportation, a vital place outside the border!
Fan Zhiwan didn't pay attention to the head, and everyone else was a hundred hearts.
I could hear Shi Fu describe the battle of Yaozhou in detail.
There are really no 500 heads, even if Zheng Zhilong cut off the brains of the dead people on the Zhuangzi outside the city, there are less than 500 people. It's just that it is used to boost the morale of the army. Shi Fu said.
Qiu Minyang's heart was so complicated, he didn't know whether to be angry or angry for a while. "In the battle of Yaozhou, what did Zheng Zongrong get?"
Wu Sangui sneered in his heart, the five hundred heads of Zheng Zhilong's declaration he already knew that there was water in it, how could the head of the Tartar be so easy to cut off? But he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to be so kind of a woman, and even the brains of the coated serfs were connected together, and the five hundred heads were not gathered.
The head of the True Tartar is difficult to cut, so is it still difficult to cut the head of the coated minions? Zheng Zhilong's army of tens of thousands of troops on land and water, when they arrived at the shore, they swarmed and plundered over, and five hundred heads were not easy?
In the early years, Mao Wenlong, the handsome man in Jiangdong, liked to do this kind of thing the most. After all, what they are facing is not the wolf-like Eight Banner soldiers, but those mud legs who farm the land.
Mud legs are mud legs everywhere they go, not that when they go to Jianyu, they become iron legs and copper legs.
Wu Sangui thought so, and even had a conjecture in his heart - if he also had a powerful sailor under him, he could naturally enter and exit the Jianyu Land Realm at will, then the secret inside was only eight words-avoid the real and attack the false, and take advantage of the weakness to enter. Hugh said that there were five hundred heads, that is, a thousand, two thousand, and he took it out of his own right.
"The marshal of my family used more than a dozen farms outside the city of Yaozhou to lead out the Yaozhou guard Tu'an, set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and wiped them all. Five out of forty were taken prisoner, and eleven were taken prisoner. Sixty people were killed, and one hundred and fifty were captured. Then he waved his division to take Yaozhou City, and the two battles before and after won a total of seventy real Tartar Ding men's heads, and 15 people were captured. Kill one hundred and thirteen people. ”
"Plundered 22 Zhuangzi, killed 40 true Tartar men, captured 11 alive, and killed 120 people."
That is, there were a total of 110 true Tartar heads, 26 people were taken prisoner, and 233 people were killed. Shi Fu burst out of his mouth with a number that moved everyone present.
Beheaded one hundred and ten true tartar heads, and captured twenty-six people, this is a great achievement, a real great achievement.
"Really?" Wu Sangui's eyes were red with envy.
Think about how many battles he fought on the battle array of the Guanning army, but it was difficult to get a few Tartar heads. Zheng Zhilong's group of pirates relied on the benefits of the ship to get their hands on it so easily?
He was really unwilling in his heart.
Even if reason tells him that this is because of the super mobility of the sailor, this is because the sailor can avoid the real and attack the false. No matter how long the entire Liaohai is, there is a great opportunity for the sailors to take advantage of it.
Zheng Zhilong's success did not rely on his true strength, but because he was cheating.
But I still feel envious, jealous and hateful.
Wu Sangui would definitely not have such a word in his mind, but it would definitely mean the same thing.
"Naturally, Yaozhou City has been razed by my marshal, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have also been captured by my marshal, and they will arrive on Juehua Island in a few days." Shi Fu's pride is not strong at this moment.
But soon his proud and proud demeanor was reaped, "It's just ...... that many of the true Tartars under Natuan were transferred to the Songjin battlefield, and among the Tartars who were killed and captured, there were even some old and weak. "Of the more than 100 true Tartar heads, only one-third of them are truly young and strong. The rest are either half-hundred-year-old men, or fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen-year-old baby soldiers.
"Haha, the old and the little Tartars are all Tartars, so it's a great achievement!" Qiu Min laughed. But it's more about the future than the 100 heads of the moment.
Zheng Zhilong is ready to send troops to Juehua Island all the year round, with such a naval army, thousands of miles of Liaohai have become undefended frontiers, if Jianyu wants to use troops to defend, I really don't know how many people and horses will be contained. That's what makes him laugh heartily.
And the other generals, listening to Shi Fu's words, felt a little better in their hearts. But there are still people sighing, "Zheng Dashuai is lucky." ”
The Northern Army, which has always looked down on the Southern Army, was compared to a group of Southern barbarians in terms of military exploits. That made the general soldiers present feel very uncomfortable.
Shi Fu heard it in his ears, but there was no displeasure on his face. "When the lower official came, my family commander had already ordered. The army can attack Yaozhou so easily, all because the army is built, or it is arranged in Songjin, or it is contained by the commanders. This is how easy it is for our army. In this way, how can there be no merit of Ning Yuan's army in the results of our army? These chiefs, along with the brains of those coated minions, were all given away, and they were left to the discretion of the overseer. ”
This is called giving to gain.
Wu Sangui and they took Zheng Zhilong's head, so naturally they couldn't put down the bowl and scold their mother!
He didn't pay attention to the hundred and ten Jianyu heads in Yaozhou City. The Tartars of Niuzhuang and the Tartars of Haizhou, this is the correct solution!
But he knew that for the garrison in Ningyuan City, these one hundred and ten Tartar heads were also a good and delicious meal. Not to mention the heads of more than 200 coated minions. Although it has lost some weight, as long as it is handled properly, it is all real tartar.
Of course, compared to the number of five general soldiers, these heads and twenty-six living tartars, that is obviously not enough. But if they are not enough, will they have the courage to relieve the siege of Xingshan, Songshan and Jinzhou?
The answer is also very clear.
But Zheng Zhilong will continue to fight Niuzhuang and Haizhou. Not only will he have a new Tartar head in his hands, but there will be no less.
Zheng Zhilong wants to make the cake in his hand bigger and stronger, and when the time comes, the five general soldiers will want to share the benefits again, but it will be their turn to bleed.
All in all, leaving aside the Songjin battlefield, Zheng Zhilong is only just getting started.
……
Shi Fu walked out of the public hall with a smile on his face, looked back behind him again, and showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. It seems that the high-pitched voices of several generals can still be heard in their ears.
"Is this the pillar stone of the Ming Dynasty?"
At this moment, in his heart, he has unprecedented confidence in the ambition of his leading brother!
