After the military department sent someone to check the head and escort the prisoners, only a week later, the smiling eunuch came to Jinjiazhuang Fort with the edict. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The speed of the imperial court's promotion this time made Li Xiao, who was accustomed to the procrastination style of the Ming Dynasty, quite surprised for a while. However, he immediately thought that it must be this big victory that left a deep impression on the emperor's heart, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a happy mood, could handle the reward so quickly.

In the courtyard of the Qianhu official hall, the eunuch with an obese face and wearing a purple silk python suit, accompanied by two officials of the military department, read aloud the holy decree of promotion to Li Xiao, Zu Dale, Yao Wenchang and a group of military generals who were kneeling in front of the steps.

“。。。。。。 This time the officers and troops won a great victory, and the number of Tartars was destroyed, which was rare in previous great victories. I read the report, and I was very happy. It has been verified that this great victory, Li Xiao's department of thousands of households in Shandong, fought bravely, beheaded many people, and captured many people. I followed the emperor's ancestor's life of meritorious service, promoted Li Xiao to the post of commander of the Zhengsanpin Chifengwei, and gave him the rank of general Huaiyuan, and the captain of the light car of Wuxun. The original station, Chifeng Fort, was annexed to the soil and upgraded to a guard. And rewarded a hundred taels of gold, a brocade robe, five hundred pieces of silk, and the meritorious soldiers of the department, all of whom were instructed to discuss the preferential manner. Wang'er is not arrogant, he will work hard to prosper, report to the emperor's grace, protect the people, and succeed in his career. The Jun Lie of Yuan Rong, the Pi of Zhaolu Bu. Chin Jai。。。。。。 ”

The eunuch pronounced the decree with a smile on his face, and after reading it, he shouted in a low voice: "Li Xiao, quickly receive the decree and thank you." “

"Li Xiao received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Li Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, received the holy decree with both hands, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Li Xiao was very happy in his heart, this promotion was not only because he was promoted, but also because Tian Wei, the chief of the elephant armor, Duan Shidi, the deputy chief of the army, and others also had their own awards. In addition, there were 6,000 taels of silver for beheading and captives, and 1,500 pieces of silk.

However, what made Li Xiao happiest was that his own Chifeng Fort could now finally be rightfully transferred from the county to the land and upgraded to Chifengwei. According to the map issued, there are more than 600 square miles of Linxian land, which is incorporated into Chifengwei.

The emperor's generous reward is like a huge pie falling from the sky!

In this way, the space for self-play in the territory of Denglai can be greatly expanded, and the existing personnel and related industries can also be better arranged and developed.

Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh, only half a year ago, when he led everyone from Liaodong to Shandong, he was still so depressed, but now he has become the commander of the imperial court, and has become the lord of the three places with Chifengwei, Iron Dragon City, and Jintang City to be built!

Listening to the sentence reading aloud of the eunuch Xuanzhi, Li Xiao seemed to be able to see the emperor who had never met before, and he was smiling at himself, and suddenly felt even more proud in his heart, which was difficult to suppress.

"Come on, give your father-in-law 500 taels of hard silver."

Li Xiao gave an order, and immediately a subordinate gave the eunuch 500 taels of silver, and the eunuch smiled like a flower on his face, his eyes were fixed on the heavy plate of snowflake silver presented by Li Xiao, but his mouth pushed back again and again: "The commander is so polite, how can our family make it." ”

Li Xiao undoubtedly sent the 500 taels of silver to the eunuch's arms: "My father-in-law came all the way to announce the decree, it was really hard, this bit of silver, I would like to express Li's gratitude." ”

"Then our family might as well be respectful." The eunuch smiled even more, and then took the silver without mentioning it.

The other two entourage officials, Li Xiao also gave each of them 100 taels of silver, and both of them also had a smile on their faces, and after a little shirk, they accepted it with laughter.

In the subsequent decree, Zu Dale was promoted to the chief soldier of the Shanhaiguan camp, and his military rank was promoted to the right governor, and the title was added to the protector. Zu Dale looked at Li Xiao's gaze with a bright smile on his face, full of gratitude and appreciation.

And Yao Wenchang, a general in Shandong, because of the 255 Mongolian Tatar heads sent by Li Xiao, although he lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, and was guilty of delaying the move, he still retained his position as a general, and there was no other punishment, which is really a great luck.

As for the other subordinate generals, Tian Weichang, the chief of General A, was promoted to 1,000 households, Duan Shidi, the deputy chief, was promoted to deputy 1,000 households, Monk An was promoted to 100 households, and Wu Zhuang was promoted to 100 households. There are also a large number of subordinate captains and sentinels, who have been promoted to official positions such as the general flag of the trial hundred households.

The other reinforcement generals, Jin Dakui, the captain of Zu Dale's family, were promoted to commander and military rank to general manager, and Du Shaoru's captain Xu Mao was promoted to deputy thousand households, and his military position was promoted to general manager.

The thousand president Du Shaoru who was imprisoned by Li Xiao, Li Xiao did not repay him, so he is still the president of thousands of households.

As for Yang Sichang, the governor of Xuanda, Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, Lu Baozhong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Du Shi, the commander of the Longmen Guard, naturally they also have their own rewards, but now Li Xiao of Jinjiazhuang Fort can't be heard for a while.

After sending the eunuchs and military officials back on horseback, Li Xiao changed into the regular uniform of a military attache and appeared in front of everyone.

I saw that he was wearing a black gauze hat inlaid with a piece of bright green jade, a big red official robe embroidered with a colorful tiger complement pattern on the front chest and back, a gold and silver scattered flower belt around his waist, and thick-soled official boots with straight sewing of ink rhino skin. The whole person looks like a noble and handsome person, but also heroic and brave.

The gold-inlaid gold waist plate with the name of Jifu Tiger Panyun Flower hanging on his waist is even more eye-catching. This waist card is made very finely, on the double cloud dragon, under the two tigers, between the dragon and the tiger, engraved with the three words of the commander of the ancient Liwen, the waist card has a round hole at the beginning and end, with bright red silk through, hanging on the waist, especially add spirit.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart, he was the twenty-two-year-old commander of the Zhengsanpin Soil Guard, and he was the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is estimated that soon, officials in Shandong, Xuanfu and other places will know that a new and bright general star of the Ming Empire was born.

Li Xiao, a young general born in the countryside, can rise step by step like this, and become the emperor's commander of the three products, I don't know how many people will be jealous, but they can only sigh at it.

Chongzhen's favor to Li Xiao is not so good. Originally, according to normal procedures, the position of the commander was far more important than the command signing and the commander of the same knowledge, and Li Xiao needed to personally go to Beijing to enter the court and pass the assessment of the military department's military selection and clearance department before he could officially get the post of commander envoy. Later, he received official uniforms and other items, and he officially became a member of the head of the local health center.

And now, Chongzhen still let him take up his post directly in Xuanfu Town, and the eunuch sent official uniforms and letters and rewards, which also clearly expressed trust and closeness.

Of course, it is estimated that Wen Tiren, the first assistant among them, also came up with an idea, after all, Xuanfu Town Tartar retreated, and the whole situation had just been calmed down, Li Xiao still stayed in Jinjiazhuang Fort to command, so that things would not change.

Subsequently, the subordinates who were promoted this time also changed into official uniforms, and the whole scene was full of joy.

Li Xiao saw that Tian Wei, Duan Shidi and the others had changed their official uniforms, but the expressions on their faces were normal, after all, it was a habit for them to follow Li Xiao to be promoted to the rank of knight. And Monk An looked like he was arrogant, he was wearing the official uniform of the hundred households with his hands and feet, and his hat was worn crookedly, which looked very funny.

And Wu Zhuang, the deputy captain of the rampaging team, carefully put on the official uniform of the trial hundred households on his body with a solemn face, and the wrinkles were also carefully smoothed, Li Xiao saw that Wu Zhuang, who had been promoted from the new army of thieves to the general of the official army of the Ming Dynasty, seemed to have a slight tear in his eyes.

"The subordinates meet the commander and congratulate the commander on his ascension."

After a short time, the subordinates waited for the wearing, Tian Wei Duan and the two took the lead in worshipping, and the rest of the subordinates also followed him to kneel and worship.

Li Xiao laughed and told them to get up, and everyone laughed and congratulated.

Subsequently, Li Xiao, who was in a very good mood, arranged a dinner with the logistics captain Chen Monkey, so that the families of the soldiers of the whole army and the people in the fort drank together.

Zu Dale, Yao Wenchang, Jin Dakui and others also attended, and the entire Jinjiazhuang Fort was full of jubilation.

Du Shaoru, who was imprisoned by him, has also been released this time, and Du Qianzong, who was sitting with his subordinates, had a strange expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

However, he obviously felt that his own family captain Xu Mao, because under the guidance of Li Xiao, had just been promoted to deputy Qianhu, and his attitude towards himself was too deferential as before, and he was even indescribably cold.

People go to tea and cool.

Du Shaoru was in his heart, and he hated Li Xiao even more.

Li Xiao, you have detained me for many days, and let my subordinates have separated from me. You don't have to be complacent, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, you don't have a day of capsizing! Du Shaoru was secretly ruthless in his heart.

At this time, Du Shaoru was so careful that Li Xiao didn't think much about it at all. At this time, he was very happy in his heart, and he was letting go of his stomach and drinking, and he did not avoid any subordinates or people who persuaded him to drink, and soon his face was red and drunk.

Rao is like this, but Zu Dale and the others are still toasting Li Xiao, as if only in this way can they express their gratitude in their hearts.

Zu Dale had a moving expression, he held his wine glass high, and said to Li Xiao: "If it weren't for Li Xiao, you rescued the old man that day, and the old man is now, Hugh said that he would be the chief soldier of Shangshan Customs, but he was afraid that this life would have been lost on the south bank of the Nanhe River." The old man's glass of wine, the words of gratitude are all in it, and I hope that Commander Li will drink this cup to the fullest. ”

Li Xiao took the wine glass, drank it all, and immediately laughed.

After Zu Da Lefang finished saluting, Yao Wenchang, a staff general, also came to toast, he trembled with a bowl of wine full of sifted wine, and said loudly to Li Xiao: "Yao lost the army and horses, and committed the crime of delay, he was a mortal person. But I didn't expect that Li Xiao you could be so generous and righteous, warm-hearted, and help me with many Mongolian Tatar heads, and help Yao save his life and official position, which really made a certain family grateful. This time, Yao Mou didn't talk much nonsense, just said that from now on, if Commander Li is useful to me Yao, even if he speaks, Yao will not be disobeyed. This bowl of wine, Yao did it first as a respect! ”

Li Xiao, who was drunk, waved his hand and smiled: "General Yao is polite, you and I are both Shandong soldiers and horses, and we should support each other." Li also hopes that in the future, in Shandong, you and I can work together and work together to achieve a long-term plan. ”

Yao Wenchang naturally understood the deep meaning of Li Xiao's words, and after drinking a big bowl of wine, he laughed and said: "Yao's life and fame depend on Li's command to make it complete, and it is natural for the two families to help each other and prosper together in Shandong in the future, so why do you need to command." ”

Li Xiao also laughed, and drank a full glass of water and wine.

Then, Jin Dakui, Hong Meng, Xu Mao, Tian Wei, Duan Shidi and others also came to toast, and Li Xiao drank it all happily.

It was a banquet, and Li Xiao's whole army dispersed happily. And Li Xiao, the focus of the banquet, was so drunk that with the help of the sergeant, Fang staggered back to his room to rest.

Li Xiao, who was lying in a daze on the bed, suddenly felt that there was a pair of small hands that were as smooth as soft, helping him gently caress the big yang acupoint.

Li Xiao turned his head to look, but saw Zu Wan'er with a bright smile.

"You're really, why are you drinking so much, look at your drunken appearance." Zu Wan'er said softly.

Li Xiao closed his eyes, feeling the refreshing tingling sensation brought by Zu Wan'er's dexterous hands, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Life needs to be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." Thinking of me, Li Xiao, a grass people, helpless, today I was also promoted to the position of commander, and the joy in my heart is indescribable. If you want to cover it up, it's not my character. ”

Zu Wan'er chuckled, and she muttered: "Li Xiao, I don't know why, you have been promoted, but I am a little inexplicably lost in my heart. ”

"Oh, why?"

"I'm afraid that as soon as you rise to a high position, you will change your face, and you won't be the only one in your heart." Zu Wan'er's voice was very low.

When Li Xiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Li Xiaozhi laughing loudly, Zu Wan'er's face turned red unconsciously.

"Haha, I used to be a grass farmer, I was always afraid of being looked down upon by your family, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to marry a good girl like Wan'er, why is the situation reversed now, and Miss Wan'er is worried that I don't want you?"

"Li Xiao, don't be poor, people are telling you serious things." Zu Wan'er had a narrow expression.

Li Xiao stretched out two strong hands, grabbed a pair of Zu Wan'er's small hands, held them in his palms and kneaded them carefully.

Zu Wan'er's face was embarrassed, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't pull it out because of Li Xiao's strength.

"Wan'er, don't worry, I, Li Xiao, am not the kind of person who goes to the twilight, since I have chosen you, no matter what the honor or disgrace will be in the future, I will always be with you." Li Xiao's words were warm and sincere.

Zu Wan'er's face was red, and she gently leaned her head over and rested on Li Xiao's forehead.

"Then when are you going to marry me?" Wan'er's voice was as light as a mosquito's chirping.

"When the Red Phoenix Guard, the Iron Dragon City, and this Golden Soup City are all on the right track, and there are no more things entangled, I will officially go to propose to your parents and marry you in style!"

Li Xiao said this sentence with a solemn expression, and then gave Zu Wan'er a warm smile back.

Zu Wan'er's face was as red as a ripe apple, she snorted, pulled her hand out of Li Xiao's hand forcefully, and walked away quickly with her head down.

Li Xiao sat up, listened to the autumn wind blowing in from the window, and looked up to see the moonlight dissolving, but it was like a gentle smile.

The bright moonlight shrouded Li Xiao's contemplative face.

Zu Dale, Yao Wenchang and the others will lead their troops back tomorrow, so without these people to disturb them, it is time for their own Jintang City to start building.

In his own planning, this Jintang City, which was rebuilt from Jinjiazhuang Fort, will become an important military base for Li Xiaojun on this Xuanfu North Road, and it will also be an extremely important production and trade city.

After all, to the west of this Jinjiazhuang Fort, there are vast and boundless Mongolian tribes. In Li Xiao's view, these places are full of countless business opportunities, and they are simply a sleeping gold mine。。。。。。 (To be continued.) )
