Chapter 292: Exchanging Life for Life
The 9,000 Liaodong troops hid in Hutou Mountain, just to capture the Ming Dynasty emperor and the metropolitan governor Qin Liangyu, but unexpectedly, the net was wiped out by the fish with a wicked smile.
King Zhishun paid the heaviest price for his self-inflicted cleverness.
In front of the god of the Qin army, who has been fighting for forty years, he is so humble and smart, but the last battle in the life of the nine thousand Liaodong soldiers is heroic and extremely stupid.
The earth is blood-red, the sky is like a wash, and the battlefield under the autumn sun is hula is a pole of the sun and moon flag.
Taojiayi in the southeast of Changde destroyed 3,000 Liaodong elite horses.
Shang Kexi's army threw corpses all the way, and in the end only more than 1,000 escaped.
The Shizhu Army and the Jinyi Guards stepped on the battlefield and shouted in unison: "The Metropolitan Governor is mighty!" Long live the Emperor! ”
While cleaning the two battlefields of Taojiayi and Hutou Mountain, Tianlang discovered a strange thing.
When the corpse of the Ming army was being buried, Qin Yiming quietly walked past the soles of the feet of each soldier who died in battle, silently chanting something like this, and from time to time he reached out to look at the soldiers' relics.
Could it be that the chief soldier is stealing the wallet? Tianlang looked confused.
Qin Gongming gave Tianlang a large piece of air-dried roe deer meat, one pursued Baili, and the other ran to ambush, both of them did not eat for a day.
Tianlang didn't care that his hands were stained with the blood of the enemy, and he took the meat and feasted on it.
"Did you say that Old General Qin was reciting scriptures to the fallen soldiers?"
Tianlang asked idly while chewing.
Qin Gongming glanced in the direction of his eldest brother, and said with a grin: "What kind of scriptures does he recite as a layman, how many people kill hundreds of thousands, and what kind of Buddha does he get?"
It is impossible not to go to hell after death, but when you go to hell, you can still kill the rogues, kill the Qing soldiers, and be a thief. ”
Qin Yiming doesn't like to kill people because he has shadows, and he is cautious because he said goodbye to his relatives on the battlefield with his own eyes, but Qin Gongming doesn't have so many shadows, he is a gluttonous General Qin Er, and he is the biggest shadow of others.
"So what is the old general doing?"
"That's calculating how much money to give to the soldiers."
"Isn't this a matter in your Shizhu Army, and it is also the old General Qin who does it himself?"
"That's right, my eldest brother is cautious, for fear of what will happen to the bereavement pension of the fallen soldiers, so he personally handles every amount of silver."
Tianlang suddenly, although the military law of the Ming Dynasty, those who embezzle the bereavement will not be pardoned, who will still be a soldier if they die a terrible death? For the sake of money, he is not afraid of death.
How many papier-mâché generals in the Ming Dynasty are talking about generals in papier-mâché armor.
Some papier-mâché armor is of good workmanship, lighter than iron armor, and has a particularly strong defense, but if you want to ask what motive this thing was originally invented, why do you need to ask?
The answer is not to fool the emperor Lao Tzu's salary?
Eat the army's fields and eat empty salaries, otherwise how could the Ming army on the southeast coast be beaten by a group of three-inch nails?
Qin Gongming used his index finger to bounce off the deducted boogers, then tore open a piece of jerky and threw it into his mouth, Tianlang felt his stomach tumbling.
He didn't care about the blood of the enemy, but he would never dare to try the taste of this booginiar.
Qin Gongming said with taste: "Long live knowing that most of the evaluations about my eldest brother are passed down by those old ministers in the court."
In the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, my eldest brother fell behind the four most.
The most hypocritical, the most stingy, the most scolding, and the fastest to run.
It's just unreasonable, long live, do you believe that my eldest brother is such a person? ”
Tianlang pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.
"I feel that the authenticity of this evaluation is half and half, I have seen the appearance of the old general when he reprimanded the soldiers, which is very different from the usual unsmiling, it is a real murderer, the kind that can make a five-foot-tall man cry.
As for saying that he is stingy, I'm afraid that no one who knows the old general will have doubts, the cotton robe with patches on his body, I heard that he has been wearing it for many years, and he has not been willing to change it, and the senior military attache at the level of the general soldier has a lot of silver in a year, and the clothes he wears are not to mention patches, they are all spoiled and not changed, he is really picky.
can put aside hypocrisy, saying that he loves to escape, I'm afraid that if this is the case, without others, Shangzhu Guo would have already made him a military law, right? ”
The corners of the second general's mouth twitched, "Hehe, it's still long live Mingjian." ”
Qin Gongming seemed to have found a common language with Tianlang, and the two gradually chatted about Qin Yiming.
Qin Yiming, who is at the level of the commander of the dignified military region, also served as the commander of the Gyeonggi Military Region, but why is he so stingy, and in the end he is still a poor ghost?
Over the years, almost all of his money has been spent on compensating the fallen soldiers.
The silver for the soldiers is given by the state and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but Qin Yiming himself will also give it.
And the first person to receive the pension silver from him was not the soldiers of the Shizhu Army, but the Qi family's army.
In the mixed bloody battle that year, the 3,000 Qi family troops below Qi Jin were all wiped out, the 4,000 Shizhu army plus the 500 cavalry brought into the battlefield by Qin Liangyu later, the number of dead was nearly 2,000, and his father Qin Bangping died in battle, and even Qin Yiming himself almost didn't come back.
It was the first great battle he had experienced, and both the battle situation and the result brought Qin Yiming a great shock.
and the voice and smile of his father and second uncle, and the love of Qi Jin's robe, all of which remained on that battlefield forever.
After the Yongning Army was annihilated and most of the casualties of the Youyang Army had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield, the Shizhu Army in charge of the broken army was surrounded by 100,000 Eight Banners on the south bank of the Hunhe River.
This is a bloody battle of death, and Qin Yiming is already ready to sprinkle his liver and gallbladder here.
Outside the battlefield, it was not that there was no support from the Ming army, but those backups were all spectators, and none of the soldiers and horses dared to rush forward to rescue the Shizhu army.
Qin Yiming is actually a little discouraged, why is he so discouraged?
If all the soldiers and horses worked together, all the generals of Yongning, Zhou Dunji, would not have been killed, Ran Jianlong, the commander of the Youyang army, would not have been killed, and the 4,000 soldiers and horses of Youyang would not have lost 1,700 people, and the rest would all be wounded soldiers.
Ran Jianlong's two sons, Ran Tianyu and Ran Tianyun, as well as Mrs. Bai's sister Bai Zaiying, relatives Bai Zaiyun and Bai Bangming were all seriously injured.
In the future battle of Liaoyang, even Ran Yuelong's son was killed, and the Bai family and Ran family killed several relatives in battle.
The Stone Pillar Army is also worthy of the last moment, why can't the friendly forces come up at this time?
Among the friendly troops, there is an exception, that is the Qi family's army, but the 3,000 Qi family's army is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket when they are invested in the battlefield of 100,000 enemies.
But Qin Yiming will always remember Qi Jiajun and Qi Jin.
Because it was Qi Jin and the three thousand Qi family soldiers who exchanged their lives for a moment of respite from the Shizhu Army, they finally allowed the Shizhu Army to hold out until the moment when Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin arrived with five hundred reinforcements.
So for this robe who exchanged his life for Qin Yiming's life, Qin Yiming not only remembered it forever in his heart, but also did what he should do.
