On this day, the autumn is high and cool, and the sky is high and the clouds are light.

As soon as the time passed, in the open space of the Chinese army in the camp of the Jing'an Army outside Linqu City, thousands of soldiers gradually lined up in a circle, and hundreds of flags of various colors stood in front of the teams. Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi, Sun Xing, Xie Lin and others stand on the wooden platform in the middle, the high platform is about half a zhang high, ten zhang long, and five zhang wide. There is a colorful door tied on the high platform, all kinds of colored flower cloth are wound on the pillar, and the middle is dotted with colored flower balls of different sizes, and the color doors and flower balls are all made by Yu Lan and other sisters overnight. Behind the high platform, there are nearly 100 military and civilian representatives.

On the gatehouse, there are several large regular script characters, black characters on a red background, and seven big characters of "Jing'an Army Celebration Conference" are written on it. This is Tian Lie's handwriting, the font is thick and chic, Yixing is flying, and the pen is through the paper.

From time to time, there were trumpets blowing in the big camp in a low voice, and there were 20 cowhide drums under the high platform, which guided all units of the Jing'an Army to enter their respective positions in an orderly manner under the rapid drum beats of the soldiers.

Two days after the end of the war, the military exploits of the officers and men of the Jing'an Army have been fully counted and verified. According to the pre-war announcement, Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi carefully reviewed the final form of meritorious service drawn up by Fang Xue and others, and discussed that the whole army would gather in the camp today and publicly reward all meritorious soldiers.

In order to have a suitable site, Yu Zhilong specially ordered part of the camp tents to be removed from the camp in the army, sorted out a large flat open space, cleared weeds, and rushed to make this wooden platform.

After the war, Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi discussed, and felt that the matter of rewarding military merits should be sooner rather than later, one is reflected in the fact that the generals will do what they say, and the order is like a mountain, and the other is that the generals give up their lives and forget their lives, and the battlefield is bloody, not rewarded, not rewarded, not enough to inspire the soldiers who dare to fight, and the three to publicly sing the meritorious soldiers in front of the army, showing their bravery, which is not only to inspire me to maintain the heart of daring to fight, but also to give an example to the soldiers of the whole army, dare to fight, reward, cowardly, punishment!

Military families, local people, and representatives of other generals and subordinates of the Suncheon Army were also invited to attend the celebration. More than 6,000 people gathered in the designated viewing area.

Finally, after the three-way drum sounded, the whole army was in formation, and the soldiers were clearly dressed and armored, and there was no sound.

After the big drum is beaten, then a column of small drums in front of the stage begins to bang and beat, this is a marching drum, because the system is small, it can be hung and carried with you to walk, so that you can beat it from time to time. The small drums beat in order to adjust the speed of the soldiers' march.

With the sound of a bull's horn, it means that the whole army is silent.

Another small drum sounded, which meant that the generals of the various ministries stood up and prepared. Then every small drum sounded, and one of its own generals came out in turn to the front of the stage.

Wu Side was the first to ride his horse out of the ranks and report to the department. "General Wu Side Chen Yu, Captain of the Cavalry Army: There were 412 soldiers in the headquarters, 184 were killed, 56 were wounded and bad walkers, and 172 were on standby in front of the army! Please show General Fei! ”

In this battle, the cavalry of the Jing'an Army suffered the heaviest casualties, and almost everyone was wounded after the war. All the seriously injured were taken to the city to be cared for, but more than 20 of them still died of their injuries during the admission.

Less than half of the survivors of the First World War showed the fierceness of the battle. It was precisely because of its several times with strong enemies and smashed the rear of the Yuan army, and then killed Ben Ye first, won his handsome banner, and forced him to abandon the formation and flee first, that the morale of all units of the Shuntian Army was greatly boosted.

In terms of merit, the first merit of the cavalry is well deserved! He made great contributions to Wu Side, so he specially arranged Wu Side to be the first person in Chen Yu before the army.

Wu Side was born with a loud voice, and under the attention of the whole army, he was even more energetic at this time, a heart in his chest was pounding, and when he spoke loudly, even his voice trembled slightly. However, Wu Side's calculation skills are really not on the table, and these figures are carefully calculated by his subordinates over and over again before being taught by Wu Side.

Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi stood on the platform, looking around at the thousands of soldiers, feeling different from the time of mobilization before the war.

Yu Zhilong looked at Wu Side, this guy is a fresh armor angry horse today, with an iron helmet on his head, holding the iron gun picked up from the battlefield, the clothes and armor of the people and horses, the saddles, etc. are cleanly cleaned, and even the mustache on this guy's face has been trimmed and combed a lot smoother, with his strong and upright body on the horse, he really has a heroic look.

"Homecoming!" Yu Zhilong returned the salute and responded loudly.

"No!" Wu Side returned the salute with a fierce salute and returned to the team.

Then Ma Rulong, Mingxiong, Mu Chun, Ji Xiancheng, Hou Ying and others walked out in turn and came to the stage one by one. Huang Er was seriously injured and is still bedridden and unable to get up, so he can only be replaced by his deputy today.

Zhao Shi was originally injured in the abdomen, the skin was broken, after the war, Lang Zhong made the bone needle sutured with mulberry thread, fortunately, the wound was not big, and the internal organs were not injured, Zhao Shi's daily slight activities were not hindered, and today's reward before the army was a big deal, Zhao Shi insisted on being present in person, Yu Zhilong could not dissuade him, and he was left to him.

In fact, Yu Zhilong's back flesh and bones were also in pain from time to time at this time, and Meng Liu vigorously slashed several times that day, although there were no obvious injuries, but the secret illness was very serious, so that Yu Zhilong was in a coma at that time. When I woke up again, the impression of the illusion was mostly blurred, and I felt that only a patch of scarlet remained.

He has been cultivating for two days, and although he has moved freely so far, the pain has not been completely eliminated, and Yu Lan hurriedly brought a bottle of bone-setting medicine wine on the same day, and asked Sun Xing about what happened. She has a tender face, the two of them have no marriage contract, it is impossible to apply medicine and massage for him in person, and after carefully explaining to Sun Xing, she chatted with Yu Zhilong for a few more words, and went with a red face.

Mulberry line, that is, take the root bark of the mulberry tree, remove its surface yellow bark, leave a white and soft long fiber layer, and make a fine fiber line processed by hammering. Mulberry thread is not only simple to make, easy to apply, and not easy to break, but also has the therapeutic effect of medicinal properties and peace, clearing heat and detoxifying, and promoting wound healing. The use of mulberry thread has been recorded in "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases", "Qianjin Fang", "Secret of Outer Taiwan", "Prescription for World Medicine" and so on.

"The Biography of Anjin Tibet" in the "Old Tang Book": Jin Zang led the saber to cut his chest, and the five Tibets came out together, bleeding to the ground, and he was defeated because of his despair. Then the sky heard it, but the doctor accepted the five Tibets, sutured with mulberry white bark as the thread, Fu's medicine, through the night, and the gold treasure began to wake up.

Ma Rulong's department totaled 600, 200 were killed after the battle, more than 100 were wounded, and less than 300 people can be listed today. Ranking it as the second is also a celebration of its merits.

For today's scene, Ma Rulong's subordinates are all armed with spears more than two zhang long, and the spearheads are all shiny sharp iron tools, lined with red tassels, and the pieces are like a forest of guns.

After the end of Chen Yu, the generals of each department, Fang Xue came to the center of the high platform from one side, unfolded a thick volume of books in his hand, and recited aloud in front of thousands of soldiers: "The Tartars have no virtue, tyrannical and cruel people, and the people of the Han family are all looking forward to the heroes who save the people and save the country!" The former Tartars did not measure their own strength, vainly started the war, Linqu battle, Yuan Yu lost his armor, abandoned his weapons and threw his banners, and the invincible reputation of the world was defeated in my hands! Today, the Jing'an army is united, forgetting to die, forgetting to die, for the former Song Xue old shame, for the new Han Dynasty to open the world, unite as one, kill countless enemies, turn the tide on the front line, and have a brilliant victory. The results of the battle of the various departments are hereby unified, and the check is correct, and the general Fei reports to the king of heaven to survey and seal, and now rewards the army. ”

Fang Xue paused and glanced back at Yu Zhilong. Yu Zhilong motioned for him to continue.

In front of thousands of bloody soldiers alone, Fang Xueping was the first time, although the sun was shining, but the military formation was strong, the guns were bright, and the soldiers who lived for the rest of their lives after the war stood silently, invisibly with a awe-inspiring aura of slaughter, even the birds did not dare to fly over the military formation easily.

Fang Xue turned his head, turned the book in his hand to a page, barely suppressed the tension and excitement in his heart, carefully looked at the name of the award on the page, and continued loudly again: "The special class of military merits, Cavalry Captain Wu Side, Cavalry General Banner Gou Fugui, Cavalry General Banner Zheng Zebo, Infantry Captain Huang Er, Infantry Army General Banner Lao Jing, Infantry Army Brand Head Ren Dake, Infantry Army Brand Head Shi Tianming is out of the ranks. ”

These people either beheaded thousands or hundreds of households of the Yuan army, or seized their banners, or took the lead in breaking through the enemy's formation, which greatly encouraged their own soldiers and played a huge role in turning the tide of the war.

How to evaluate the merits of the war and define the genus, Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi, Mingxiong and others took great pains. Although military merit seems to be the most concise in terms of beheading, it will be unfair if it is simplified.

Later generations once said: When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, depending on the number of heads, it is the most. However, the minister thought that it was okay to talk about small enemies; If you encounter a great enemy, it will be difficult for the one who breaks the enemy first, and the one who takes the first rank may not kill the thief. This is not only the unclear reward of merit, but also the disintegration of people's hearts; Often, because of the competition for the first level, it leads to mistakes.

Another person said: The two armies are enemies, and the one who fights first has an instant hand and eye, and he can't miss the pool, so why not cut off his head? If it is beheaded, it will no longer be able to fight, but will be taken advantage of by the enemy, fought for by the rear army, and die!

In the end, the two decided to focus on the performance of the battle formation.

This battle merit evaluation is unique to Mingxiong's central counselor's plan, according to the time of the confrontation to break into the thief formation, reveal his back to kill the defeated thieves; Those who dare to enter the battle bravely and cut the flag of the general; This team has defeated many thieves and can rescue those who defeat the enemy in other teams; Those who are appointed to do whatever they want and succeed in breaking thieves by surprise are all special. Advance together, the first to defeat the thief; The front team is undecided, and the back team is the first to break the thief. Rest of the work.

Because Yu Zhilong is the chief general of the Jing'an Army, he does not count his merits this time. Zhao Shiheng beheaded the Meng River in front of the formation, and won its banner, which is also a special merit, but Zhao Shi also insisted that he would not accept it, and it was not included in the end.

Wu Side, Gou Fugui, Zheng Zebo, Lao Jing, Ren Dake, and Shi Tianming ran quickly to the stage, first saluted Zhilong and Zhao Shi, and then lined up, facing the stage.

Sun Xing came out of the ranks, unfolded the military merit book, and read aloud: "Wu Side, the captain of the cavalry army, personally led the department, charged into battle, repeatedly fought against the captive cavalry several times, broke the six-fold infantry formation of the Yuan army, and worked together with General Fei to kill the deputy commander of Tang Wuwei, captured the first handsome flag, beheaded a number of enemies, and discussed merit!" Promoted to a cavalry army under a thousand households, a reward of forty taels of silver! The general banner of the cavalry Gou Fugui broke the formation several times, killed two people from 100 households, one person from the general banner, killed several enemies, and made special contributions! Promoted to 100 cavalry households, 20 taels of silver! Zheng Zebo, the general banner of the infantry army, killed one person from a thousand households and two people from the general banner, and he was particularly meritorious! Promoted to 100 households, rewarded with 30 taels of silver! The general banner of the infantry army Lao Jing killed two people from 100 households, one person from the general banner, and four people from the first four of the brand. Promoted to 100 households, rewarded with 10 taels of silver, the head of the infantry army brand, beheaded 1,000 enemy households, 8 soldiers, and special merits! Promoted to 100 households, rewarded with 30 taels of silver, Shi Tianming, the general banner of the infantry army, captured one person from 100 households, beheaded one person from 100 households, captured two people from the general banner, beheaded four soldiers, and made special contributions! Promoted to 100 households, the reward is 20 taels of silver. ”

Sun Xing took a breath a little, and then said: "The predecessor of the infantry military captain Huang Erzhen, the first soldier, was invincible, and the enemy was invincible, one person was killed by the enemy's general flag, four people at the head of the brand, thirteen soldiers, and the injured were not counted!" On merit! It was promoted to a thousand households, and the reward was twenty taels of silver. This is a commendation for Huang Er's command and daring to fight.

In this military merit evaluation, the prisoners were equal, one tael per soldier, two taels for the head of the brand, three taels for the general flag, five taels for 100 households, and ten taels for 1,000 households. If he gets his banner, he will be rewarded equally.

"Those who have won the above special military merits will also be rewarded with 30 acres of fertile land per person! The existing title deed is here, and everyone can get it after the draw! Seeing Sun Xing finish speaking, Fang Xue stood up again, took over the six land deeds from the county government master's book, held them high and showed them to the troops in the audience one by one, and then the officials carried over a small table, handed over the brush, and the ink, respectively, by Wu Side and others one by one, according to the handprint, in duplicate, one for each person's collection, and one for the county government to file.
