Chapter VII Meritorious Service and Reward

"Ergou, be careful, you can keep these heads, a human head is 30 taels nirvana." Li Jiye, who had been in excitement, said to He Ergou.

"Well, it's long and relaxed." There are level 18 heads to deal with at one time, and He Ergou is quite busy.

Liu Renyu first watched with a smile and a smile as everyone bragged about how brave they were in killing the enemy, and then shouted to everyone to listen to him.

"The Mongols have always been sideways in our Ming Dynasty, this time they have suffered such a big loss, they will inevitably come to retaliate, 20 people, we still have a hard time coping, if they come to a few hundred people, needless to say, we will only be killed. Everyone immediately packed up their things, let's leave here and go straight to Jingbian Fort City to report our merits. ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought that it was such a reason, the Mongols would come to clean them up again, and no one would come to save them in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so they went back to collect it carefully, and they stopped cleaning up after a while.

To tell the truth, the sergeants of the Duntai are poor and sour on weekdays, and they have not saved any belongings, and now they are leaving again, and they are almost empty-handed.

After packing up, everyone rode the captured Mongolian horses, and Shi Shiran went in the direction of Jingbian Fort City.

After walking for about an hour, Zhang Tieniu suddenly asked He Ergou for no reason: "Ergou, it stands to reason that only the landlord Lao Cai, the county respect, and the Shangguan can ride a horse, and it should be very comfortable to ride a horse, but why does it hurt in the buttocks, this horse is not fucking happy." ”

He Ergou listened to Zhang Tieniu's words, and said thoughtfully: "Who said no, the forehead is the same as you, ah no, the forehead is even worse than you, not only does the forehead hurt, but even the bird eggs in the crotch of his mother's pants hurt." Desheng, can you ride a horse? ”

"His mother is not happy, his forehead hurts, and this horse doesn't ride." As soon as Yang Desheng finished saying this, he turned over and dismounted, saying that he didn't want to ride anymore.

After a while, Zhang Tieniu, He Ergou, Li Jiye, and Liu Renyu all got off the horse, their buttocks hurt to death, and they couldn't ride horses anymore anyway, only Ma Tianjun, who was the second generation of rich, often rode horses, and they were very used to riding.

It's no wonder, but it is said that Liu Renyu and the other 5 people have never ridden a horse and have never been skilled in horses, so it is natural that their buttocks hurt.

For this reason, everyone had to abandon their horses on foot, and they all led their horses to walk, and after walking for a day, they arrived at the left side of Jingbian Fort City.

When he arrived at the city gate, the gatekeepers saw 6 Ming soldiers with more than a dozen horses, and they couldn't help but be very suspicious, so they naturally wanted to come forward to interrogate.

The little leader who guarded the door was a robe who was familiar with Li Jiye, and when he saw that Li Jiye was leading the team, he ordered his soldiers not to interrogate, and he stepped forward to ask in person.

"Yo, Lao Li, what kind of big deal have you made, where did you get so many horses?" The leader said.

"You must not believe it, our brothers in the pier fought 300 rounds today, killed 18 Mongolian Tartars, including a big official, and only then did we get 11 horses, and we are about to go to the garrison to report the good news and ask for merit." Li Jiye has made such a great achievement easily, and he happened to meet an old friend in the past, so he naturally wants to praise himself with his eyebrows.

"What did you say!?" When the leader of the city guard heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and his eyes were about to split, "You said that you killed 18 Mongols, just 6 of you, don't deceive me, but I don't believe it." Let me tell you, don't blame my brother, I didn't remind you, in the past few days, thieves and Mongols have been killing and plundering everywhere, and the garrison's farmland has suffered a lot of losses. ”

"What do you say, I don't know the temper of the garrison, real gold is not afraid of fire, I set up real military merits, and killed the Mongols who were like fakes, which is like you, and I also killed good and risky merits. Wait, when I have reported the merit and received the reward, I will naturally invite you to Wenxianglou to drink. Li Jiye said with great confidence.

When the leader heard the words "Kill Liang and Risk", he was not annoyed, but said in disbelief: "If you really kill so many Mongols, you don't need to entertain you, all your food and money will be counted as mine." ”

"Okay, that's what you said, if you don't keep your word, it's my grandson." Li Jiye hurriedly squeezed the leader and said.

"Don't worry, if Lao Tzu frowns, it's your grandson. That's it, you guys go in quickly. The leader waved his hand and motioned for the gatekeepers to let him go.

Li Jiye had just won the competition with his old friend, and it was inevitable that he would be in high spirits, so he proudly waved his hand to everyone behind him and said, "Let's go." After speaking, regardless of the fact that his buttocks were still in hot pain, he turned over and entered Jingbian Fort City proudly.

In order to pretend, Liu Renyu and others also endured the pain in their buttocks, turned over their horses, and followed Li Jiye into Jingbian Fort City.

Entering the Jingbian Fort City, Li Jiye took the lead, leading everyone straight to the Jingbian Fort to guard Sun Kuisheng's mansion, when walking on the road, the pedestrians in the market were shocked by the scene of several tattered Ming soldiers riding high-headed horses, and they had to guess more than once.

"What kind of road have these poor sour soldiers taken, there are so many horses, strange things, strange things."

"Look at their villainous looks, if they rob a caravan again, the mother will do this thing, I'm sorry."

"But people from somewhere have been poisoned by these Qiu Ba again."

Li Jiye was still immersed in the joy of receiving meritorious service awards, and when he heard the nonsensical inferences of the people for no reason, he was inevitably very angry, "Damn, Lao Tzu didn't kill good people this time, and killed more than a dozen real Mongolians, but he asked you to run out like this, or okay, Lao Tzu simply showed his hand, so that you could open your eyes." ”

"Renyu, Desheng, Ergou, and Tie Niu all showed the heads of the Mongolian Tartars, so that the people could see how powerful we are."

"Well," everyone agreed, and the heads of several Mongols were shown to the public.

"Hey, hey, it's terrible, it's not the head of the Mongol."

"I can't be wrong, I can't be wrong, that tooth mouth, that hairstyle, it's indeed Mongolian tartar. The officers and soldiers killed the Mongol Tatars, so that they could live mighty. ”

"That's right, I'm waiting for a bloody battle, slashing the Mongolian Zhenyi level 18, and I'm here to report to the garrison." Li Jiye said proudly with this loud voice.

It is said that the people of Jingbianbao have not suffered the losses of the Mongols, and it is true that the officials and soldiers are not authentic, but relatively speaking, the officials and soldiers killed the Mongols and still made them very happy.

"Good man, good kill."

"The Ming official army is mighty."

"Son, the official army killed the Mongols, and it can be regarded as revenge for you."

After revealing the heads of the Mongols, the painting style of the common people changed again, and they kept praising Liu Renyu and others.

The feeling of being praised by the people, well, it's good. Liu Renyu and the others only felt like they were in the clouds.

Jingbian Fort City is not very large, and it only takes 5 minutes to ride a horse to the garrison mansion.

When I arrived at the garrison mansion, there were already men who drank the soldiers of the pier, and asked arrogantly: "Stay, what are a few poor soldiers doing in the garrison mansion?" ”

As the saying goes, the prime minister's seven-grade official in front of the door, everyone is familiar with the routine, Liu Renyu didn't say much at the moment, so he put a tael of silver in his sleeve and sent it to the doorman's hand, and then said: "The little one is a dun sergeant, who killed more than a dozen Mongolian Tartars, and came to report the good news to the garrison, and please report it." ”

Menzi took the silver, only felt that the hand was sinking, full of weight, and immediately changed to a smiling face, and heard that these soldiers had killed the Mongolian Tartars, and their faces were full of surprise, and they said in disbelief: "You really killed a Mongolian Tartar!?" ”

"It's true, look at this." Liu Renyu saw that Menzi didn't believe it, so he revealed a few heads and told him to open his eyes.

"Shhh The genuine, undeceived Mongolian Zhenyi, the man said busily: "You guys wait a while, I'll go and report to the garrison." ”

After about two minutes, the man returned to the door, and this moment there was no trace of the arrogant look on his face, and he led the sergeants of the pier to the inner courtyard.

Walking into the door of the garrison mansion, the interior of the garrison mansion is very similar to a Beijing courtyard house, a brick path connects the gate and a hall, the door of the hall is open, and I see a middle-aged man in regular clothes about 40 years old sitting in the hall.

"This is Lord Garrison, I brought it, you can go and repay the merits." After saying that, the man went back by himself.

When everyone entered the hall, they first pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar according to the number of rituals, and bowed down together.

"The little Liu Renyu, Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, He Ergou, Zhang Tieniu, Ma Tianjun have seen the garrison."

"That's it! Get up. "Sun Kuisheng, the garrison of Jingbian Fort, had already heard about the great victory from the mouth of Menzi, and heard that Liu Renyu and others had killed 18 Mongols, he was shocked at first, and felt very incredible, and then he was very happy, because this was a matter of giving Jingbian Fort a long face, and he was quite kind to Liu Renyu.

"Thank you, Lord Guard." Everyone thanked themselves, then stood still.

"I heard that you are here to report the victory, saying that you have killed a lot of Mongolian Zhenyi, but the truth." Sun Kuisheng asked.

"If you go back to your lordship, we will indeed behead the Mongolian Zhenyi level 18, and there is also a Mongolian general, and the head and the general's seal are there, and the lord can send someone to check it." Liu Renyu replied.

"Well, let's take a look at it a priori and see if you have lied about the military situation and killed the good and risked the merits. Men come, go and check the head. ”

Hearing Sun Kuisheng's summons, there was a commissioner who immediately inspected the head, looked at the hairstyle, looked at the teeth, and after the inspection, the man's expression did not move, and Gu Zi replied: "My lord, it is indeed the head of Mongolian Zhenyi." ”

"Okay, very good, you go down first."

"Yes," the man replied, and strode away.

"You are really my Ming hero, how many years, my Jingbian Fort has not been a great victory with Ruxu, today you will have a meal in my house, I will treat you well." With such a big victory in his own jurisdiction, he has to share some credit, Sun Kuisheng's mood is naturally very good, so he wants to invite Liu Renyu and others to dinner.

It was day and night, Sun Kuisheng's mansion was brightly lit, the sound of silk and bamboo was bursting, the singers were dancing, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

At this time, Sun Kuisheng suddenly said to Liu Renyu: "You have made great contributions, and it stands to reason that you will naturally report to the imperial court to ask for credit for you, but you have not yet written a document to report the distribution of this merit to me, and I don't know how to write a document, so let's discuss how to write this meritorious document." ”

Everyone knew the meaning of the song when they heard the strings, and knew that the garrison was going to share the credit, but Liu Renyu had already prepared for this, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Sun Kui.

Sun Kuisheng took the paperwork, called the housekeeper over, and asked the housekeeper to tell him. What this document says is that Sun Kuisheng was willing to brave arrows and stones and went to the front line in person, and Liu Renyu and others fought hard for 300 rounds under his wise and correct command before they were beheaded at level 18, but the Mongolian general was personally solved by Sun Kuisheng.

"Well, well, this document is very decently written, very decent, it's rare that you Qiu Ba can still have this kind of thought, it's rare, it's rare." Sun Kuisheng saw that Liu Renyu and others were so sensible, so he naturally praised it greatly.

After expressing his feelings, Sun Kuisheng said to Liu Renyu and the others: "You guys are relieved, I will have people write a report and send it to the general soldier tomorrow." Wait for the court's reward with peace of mind. ”

"Thank you, Lord for your reward." Everyone bowed down again and thanked Sun Kuisheng.

Sun Kuisheng saw that the main purpose of the dinner had been achieved, so he let everyone disperse. So everyone went to the inn to rest, and everyone talked and laughed along the way, all speculating about what kind of reward would be?
