Li Xiao, who had calmed down, began to think about what to do with these heads. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He knew that according to the military merit system of the Ming Dynasty, leading the leading officers, but those who were above the general flag of the official position and had more than dozens of subordinates, their subordinates would be awarded ten slaves and thieves, and they would be promoted to one level, and each additional ten would be promoted by one level. Up to the third level, the second level is actually awarded, and the first level is signed. In addition to 50 taels of silver for each Tartar head, there were additional silver and silk prizes.

That is to say, in fact, as long as Li Xiao wins the first thirty pieces, he can be promoted to three levels in a row, skip the suppression, and the second position of deputy thousand households, until he is promoted to the main thousand households, and at the same time, the military position is promoted to the general manager of the thousand.

This is just a rule of the imperial court in the past, and now that the Ming officials and troops have been defeated repeatedly, the Tartar heads are rare and rare, and the number of heads required for promotion has been greatly reduced. Basically, an average of 6 heads can be upgraded to one level, so that the number of heads Li Xiao needs, but 18 is enough to be promoted to the top.

Li Xiao lacks connections, and if he has officials in the court to appreciate and support him, it is not difficult to even be promoted to command.

Compared with what position he will be promoted, Li Xiao is more concerned about whether he can keep these heads.

43 Tartar heads, this huge battle exploit and victory, is enough to make every official and general tempted, even if Li Xiao and others work hard, they will never let Li Xiao alone enjoy this huge and rare war feat. In the current Ming official army, when it comes to fighting, there may not be many people who have real skills, but in terms of merit and infighting, all of them are top players.

If Li Xiao can't find a Shangguan who is willing to repay himself, then it is possible not to say that he can keep the 18 heads that he relied on for promotion, even if all his military exploits are swallowed up by the greedy Shangguan.

For example, if he reported his military exploits to the garrison King Daoqi, Li Xiao was very sure that this person would definitely swallow all his military exploits, and he would have nowhere to reason.

So, who do you turn to for help?

Li Xiao thought of that person again, the person who gave him a collar and helped Li Xiao take the first step in building the army.

Liaodong Forward Battalion Staff General, Zu Dabi.

Li Xiao was sure that if the extra head was given to this person, this big-hearted ancestor who had a good relationship with him would definitely be extremely happy, so he would report his merits.

You must know that if Li Xiao leaves 18 heads, he can still give 25 heads to Zu Dabi!

According to the military merit law of the Ming Dynasty, from the commander to the rank upward, every 30 Tartar heads can be upgraded by one level. But now Tartar heads are scarce and hard to come by, and 25 heads are enough to be promoted. In this way, Zu Dabi's official position can be promoted to the second rank, and the military rank can also be promoted to deputy general.

In the face of such a major temptation, Li Xiao was sure that Zu Dabi would definitely be tempted.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Early the next morning, when Li Xiao's whole army was gathering in the pier for dinner, a sergeant came to report that Zu Dabi, the general of the forward battalion, was in a hurry to lead the crowd to see Li Xiao, the official of the hundred households.

Li Xiao was happy, this ancestor Dabi must have heard that he had obtained such a feat, so he rushed over in such a hurry.

Li Xiao didn't know that in the past two days, the explosive news that he led the cavalry team to win the heads of 43 Tartars had already spread all over the streets and alleys of Jinzhou, and everyone was talking about this new young hero in Liaodong everywhere in restaurants and teahouses. Li Xiao's happy victory this time made the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou feel that they were all angry, and they were always swept away by the depression of being bullied and defeated by the Tartars in the past. There are even opera troupes and storytelling shops that strike while the iron is hot, all relying on their brains, and hurriedly choreographed the opera and book segments of "Li Baihu Fighting the Tartars in the Wind and Snow", and the compilation is even more amazing. What to say that Li Xiao himself is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also proficient in gossip Taoism, can call the wind and rain, sprinkle beans into soldiers, and draw a good Taoist talisman, inviting Taishang Laojun Tota Li Tianwang Nezha Third Prince and other heavenly soldiers and generals to the lower realm, so that less wins more, and sweeps away all the Tartars. In this bizarre and almost brain-opening story, Li Xiao does not look like a military general, but is quite similar to the legendary all-powerful Zhuge Liang. I really don't know how Li Xiao would feel after listening to these operas and storytelling. Rao is such a clumsy and absurd story, it is actually blocked by viewers and many listeners, but it makes the theater troupe and storyteller make a good profit.

Li Xiao guessed correctly, Zu Dabi, who wanted to return in Ningyuan, also received a report from his subordinates, this ancestral general, thinking of Li Xiao's commitment to share the merits that day, was anxious at the moment, and immediately said goodbye to Zu Dashou, who wanted to go back with him, and took the lead in rushing back to Jinzhou, and went straight to Li Xiao's pier of no return.

Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, this ancestor Dabi, before returning to Jinzhou for his ancestor's birthday, should do a solid job of reporting and military exploits, so as not to share the merits of others, and his heart is very fine.

"Li Xiao! Why are you still shrinking your head and hiding in the pier, a certain family comes to your non-return pier, and gives you enough face, don't come out quickly to greet you! ”

Zu Dabi's thunderous roar clearly reached Li Xiao's ears from outside the pier gate.

"Oh, it turns out that the ancestral staff will come to cover the pier, and there is a loss of welcome in the future, please forgive the general."

Li Xiao laughed out loud and bowed to Zu Dabi, who had an angry face.

Li Xiao saw that Zu Dabi took Jiao Anguo, the captain of the family, and others, about a dozen people, and everyone looked like a servant. Jiao Anguo and Li Xiao looked at each other, and both of them had tacit smiles on their faces.

"Li Xiao, you don't come here so much, we have traveled here from Ningyuan, and we don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Take me to see the first level I have captured. Zu Dabi snorted and waved his hand impatiently.

Li Xiao smiled secretly in his heart, this ancestor Dabi has traveled all the way here, and it is estimated that these heads are the ones who are most concerned, so impatient, it can be seen that he yearns for it.

"Okay, please come along."

Li Xiao got up and walked through the pier with Zu Dabi and others for a while, but opened a room and let everyone in.

The room was very dark, and the pungent smell of lime nitration was even stronger to make people sick, and Li Xiao hurriedly ordered the sergeant to light a torch and send it in.

As soon as the torches entered the room, Zu Dabi and the others' eyes immediately widened.

On a long table in front of him lay a long tartar head neatly arranged. Under the light of the torches, all of them looked horrible, their mouths and eyes were hideous, and under the miserable white lime powder, dark red and somewhat atrophied muscles and blood vessels were revealed, and if the faint of heart saw them, they were afraid that they would faint with fright.

Zu Dabi and Jiao Anguo, with their eyes wide open, carefully examined their heads, from the braids to the teeth, carefully confirmed them one by one, and after a long time, they finally completed all the first grades.

Zu Dabi patted the lime slag, minced meat, mucus and other things contaminated under his hands, and his face was overjoyed, and it was difficult to express it.

"The generals are all true Tartar heads!" Jiao Anguo spoke joyfully on the side.

", I've seen it, I want you to say more." Zu Dabi shouted.

Immediately, Li Xiao slapped Zu Dabi on the shoulder.

"Li Xiao, who entered the dog, really has the ability to make great contributions, my ancestor is admired!" Zu Dabi said with a long sigh, his eyes were full of appreciation.

Before Li Xiao could say his gratitude, Zu Dabi said loudly again: "Li Xiao, you have made great achievements this time, you can say it directly, but how to thank me." ”

After Zu Dabi finished his arrogant words, Jiao Anguo's face on the side couldn't help but smile.

Li Xiao was also amused in his heart, this ancestral general, who wanted to share the military merits, was still so strong and direct, with a reasonable and arrogant appearance, he really didn't know what to say.

"Lord Counselor, Li's slight work this time, if it weren't for the ancestral ginseng general to help him that day, it would be difficult to succeed. This reward is a matter of course. The room smelled bad, and he went down to the official hall to talk. ”

Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh and left the room with Zu Dabi and the others.

After leaving Jiao Anguo and a group of entourages outside the official hall, Zu Dabi and Li Xiao entered the official hall.

Zu Dabi stood in the middle of the official hall of the dungeon fort and looked around with some curiosity. He saw that the windows were now cleaned up, the bricks on the ground were newly polished, very neat and clean, and on the surrounding walls, there were Li Xiao's white swing tooth horn armor and the bow and steel tiger knife, all of which were well maintained, and there were several official hats and chairs, long tables, shelves and cabinets in the hall. This is the place where Li Xiao treats guests in his daily office.

Li Xiao knew that Zu Dabi hated detours and polite words the most, so he simply told Zu Dabi all about his distribution plan straight to the point.

After listening to Li Xiao's plan, Zu Dabi half-narrowed his bull's eyes and did not speak.

"My lord, what is the next plan?"

"Hmph, Li Xiao, you are shrewd, tell you that you have given me a little less head, but I have more." Zu Dabi finally spoke, he glanced at Li Xiao and said in a playful tone.

"If Zu Shen is going to bully me, then there is no need to talk about it, I can only send off guests respectfully, and it is a big deal to find others to repay my merits."

Li Xiao laughed, but there was a burning glint in his eyes.

Zu Dabi was happy in his heart, this Li Xiao, who spoke politely on the surface, was at the mercy of his own interests, but he did not let go. Not to mention whether he can really find others to repay him, but as long as he does this, this merit has nothing to do with himself.

"That's it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. You are stingy, even if I have suffered a dumb loss, I will do what you say. Zu Dabi laughed and waved his hand impatiently.

Li Xiao also smiled: "This time, I led the cavalry team to fight against the Tartars, although I won the battle, but I also suffered heavy losses, and I lost a lot of horses and cavalry. ”

"Li Xiao, what do you mean?"

"My lord, with all due respect, I will share the profits with 25 heads, which is really sincere. But I very much hope that when the court issues the first level of silver reward in the future, Zu Shen will be able to give up the silver reward. Li Xiao said calmly.

Zu Dabi jumped up with a bullet: "Hey, you dog-inned Li Xiao, kicked your nose in the face!" Why do you want Lao Tzu to give you the reward given by the court! ”

"Don't worry, listen to Li Xiao's words. Doing this like this is really a last resort. In the lower than the adults, in this western Liaoxi land has a wide range of wealth, a lot of land, the annual income should be very considerable. But in the following, except for the upper salary, there is no income. Now you also know that this salary is insufficient, and the food and salary distributed everywhere are extremely scarce, but this is not paid, and the sergeant who died in the war in my department must be bereaved and his family members must be supported, but they all need to spend silver, and the daily living expenses and food expenses of the soldiers and their families are also a huge amount. And the existing silver taels under can be said to be stretched, very scarce, every day careful calculation, still hard to support. This more than 1,000 taels of silver in the imperial court is only a few meals for adults, but for the next one, it is the hope of the whole dun personnel. ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he let out a long sigh with a helpless expression.

Zu Dabi stroked his beard, his mouth was pursed, and his face was noncommittal.

Li Xiao's half-truth and half-false complaints, although they aroused Zu Dabi's sympathy, were not enough to impress him.

"General Zu, in fact, to be honest, the silver I asked for was not only for me not to return to the soldiers, but also for your future future." Li Xiao saw that Zu Dabi was silent, and said in a low voice.

"Oh, that's weird, where do you start?" Zu Dabi was stunned when he heard this.

"My lord, if the soldiers below have difficulty even living in their daily lives, their morale will be demoralized and their combat effectiveness will decline. In this way, in the next difficulty, expand the soldiers and horses, and the second difficulty motivate the soldiers, and in the future, they can still make great achievements and fight very battles, and what combat achievements can they regain and share profits with adults? Li Xiao dared to guarantee that if there was sufficient money, Li would definitely make new contributions in the coming day, in order to reward the generals for their help. ”

Li Xiao's words finally hit the most secret place in Zu Dabi's heart.

This Li Xiao put it bluntly, and he and him are just using each other. If Li Xiao has made military achievements, he can naturally share the profits, and if Li Xiao does nothing, then he can only live in this Liao Town.

A feeling of sourness and shame surged into Zu Dabi's heart.

In front of this enterprising young general Li Xiao, Zu Dabi found that he had always claimed to be invincible with outstanding courage and strength, but how mediocre he was.

I think my ancestor Dabi is also a brave general, and he failed to fight on the horse in person to gain fame, but now he has to share the military merits from this little-known lower-level general Li Xiao. When you think about it, it's embarrassing.

I really want to be able to fight with this Li Xiao one day, even if it is a horse leather shroud, it is not too fast.

Finally, Zu Dabi sighed and shouted: "Okay, no matter how noisy you are, as you Li Xiao asked, this reward for the silver ancestor is gone, in addition, I will add a little more to you, a total of 1500 taels of silver will be given to you, in addition, there are still some clothes and armor in my army, which will also be given to you, which can be regarded as a little deposit for you to share the merit again after the next meritorious service." ”

Li Xiao got up excitedly, laughed and saluted Zu Dabi: "General Zu is so benevolent, Li Xiao thanked the adults on behalf of the whole dun army." ”

Li Xiao stopped talking, and wanted to thank him again, but was stopped by Zu Dabi.

"Come less courtesy, quickly help me prepare a good performance."

Li Xiao agreed, then called Wu Liang, and quickly prepared the chapter, Zu Dabi took a rough look, and was very satisfied, so he took out the seal and stamped it, and then took the chapter away.

"Li Xiao, I will definitely send silver and armor in the near future, but you can't fail the agreement between you and me." Zu Dabi accepted the recital, and while speaking, he walked quickly to the outside of the official hall.

"Li Xiao received the kindness of the general, and he never dared to forget!" Li Xiao replied loudly behind him.

Zu Dabi snorted and continued to stride out. It's just that Li Xiao inadvertently caught a glimpse that when Zu Dabi left, the majestic and tall back seemed to be a little rickety, and the rough face was obviously a little lonely.
