Volume 4 Chapter 17 Kill a Great Slave Chief
"The Qi family army is mighty, the Qi family army is mighty, the Qi family army is mighty."
In the earth-shattering cheers, Zhang Bin pretended to chase for a while, until the Jin Tieqi slowly moved away, he returned to the front of Yongding Gate and thanked the Ming soldiers up and down the city wall.
At this time, he still pretended not to see Chongzhen, nearly five miles away, and he could see faintly people on the city gate tower without telescope light, and he couldn't even see his clothes clearly, let alone recognize people.
He just wanted to make Chongzhen think that he was so brave, not because the emperor came to show it.
Sure enough, Chongzhen on the tower of the city gate put down the binoculars and admired: "Companion, it turned out that you didn't believe it when you said that he took Xiang Yong to fight pirates, but now it seems that what you said is true, this Aiqing is really brave and abnormal." He is a civil servant, and he is even more brave than a military general in battle, rare, rare. ”
Cao Huachun almost regarded Zhang Bin as a relative because of the relationship between the two brothers, and just now he secretly helped Zhang Bin, and now Chongzhen took the initiative to mention it, and he naturally wanted to help Zhang Bin say good things.
However, this good thing can't be said nonsense, he knows Chongzhen quite well, Chongzhen doesn't like someone who is more wise and martial than him, and he doesn't like the collusion between the ministers and the foreign ministers, so just now he asked people to take the lead in shouting "The Qi family army is mighty" instead of "Lord Zhang is mighty" or "The governor is mighty".
He wants people to shout "Lord Zhang is mighty" or "Lord Governor is mighty" Chongzhen's face is estimated to be black at this time, I am standing here, who dares to be more powerful than me!
Therefore, you must be careful when speaking in front of Chongzhen, and you can't open your mouth to come.
Cao Huachun thought about it carefully, and then he arched his hand and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, Weichen shouldn't talk nonsense in front of the emperor, Zhang Bin didn't know if he was blowing Weichen at the beginning, Weichen said it in front of the emperor, every time he thought about it, he regretted it, but fortunately, judging from his performance today, he didn't brag in front of Weichen at the beginning, otherwise Weichen would have died without forgiveness." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "What a hundred deaths are forgiving, it doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing occasionally, not to mention that you didn't say anything wrong at all." ”
Cao Huachun beat a side drum for him on the city gate tower, Zhang Bin himself was not idle, the emperor was watching from above, and he naturally had to do things quickly, as soon as he returned to the car formation, he immediately ordered: "Order, the car formation is closed, line up behind the artillery array, and vacate the battlefield." Ordered Qi Yuangong to assist in counting the results, and ordered Qi Yuanfu to lead Qi Changshan and Qi Changlin's subordinates to clean up the battlefield and collect the head. Qi Yuanbi led Qi Changfeng and Qi Changhuo to dig a big pit at the foot of the mountain on the right to bury the corpse of Jiannu, and separately opened a hole on the mountain to collect the fallen soldiers, first carved the name of each soldier with a wooden stake and stood in front of the tomb, and then asked someone to carve a stone tablet after the battle. ”
The heralds scattered in all directions, and soon the car formation moved behind the artillery emplacement, and the platoon was in order.
As soon as the battlefield was vacated, Qi Yuanfu immediately rushed up with more than 2,000 Qi family troops and began to collect the first rank, while Qi Yuanbi led more than 2,000 people to dig a pit under the hill not far away with shovels in the baggage.
Everything was in order, Chongzhen nodded secretly on the city gate, he was not in a hurry to leave, nor did he call Zhang Bin over, he just "secretly" observed Zhang Bin's actions and did not say a word.
Zhang Bin was very conscientious, he ran to check the wounded soldiers for a while, ran to check the cemetery for a while, and ran to the battlefield to direct the cleaning for a while, and he was very busy.
He was directing people to cover the bloodstains with dust, and Qi Yuanfu brought a few guards to carry the stabbed bloody Mang Gurtai over.
He pointed to Mang Gurtai's corpse and asked, "My lord, what should you do with this guy, he seems to be the master of Jiannu." ”
Who is this, Zhang Bin didn't even recognize Huang Taiji, naturally he didn't recognize Mang Gurtai, he thought about it and immediately said to the guards behind him: "Zhang Pan, you go and ask, do the friendly troops under the city wall over there know who this Jiannu master will be." ”
Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu stationed under the city wall, was in a hurry at this time, and just now a little eunuch was hanged down from the city wall to deliver the decree, and he knew that the emperor was actually here!
The emperor ordered him to be ready to support the defeated Qi family army at any time, and he was also ready, the problem, now it is the Qi family army that defeated Jiannu and fled!
What to do, he didn't know, the emperor didn't have a will, he didn't dare to move.
At this time, when Zhang Pan hit the horse and came to the front of the formation, he immediately hit the horse to meet him and asked: "Dare to ask which adult came to King Qin, who can actually train the invincible Qi family army!" ”
Zhang Pan hurriedly replied: "Our lord is the governor of Fujian, dare to ask you who you are." ”
Governor of Fujian!
Hungry obediently, did they fly over, this Qinwang order has only been issued for a few days, and even the soldiers and horses from the nearest Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan provinces have not yet come, and the governor of Fujian has actually led the army to arrive!
Hou Shilu was secretly shocked for a moment, and then he arched his hand and said: "This official is Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu." ”
Zhang Pan arched his hand again: "The villain has seen Lord Hou, and the governor has sent a little to ask, do you know who the master of the slave will be?" ”
There was a chaotic battle just now, Mang Gurtai took the lead in rushing into the car formation again, Hou Shilu didn't know that Mang Gurtai was killed, he nodded again and again: "I know, I know, the master of the slave will be one of the slave chiefs, the big Belle Mang Gurtai." ”
Zhang Pan is a native of Liaodong, he naturally knows who the Great Belle Mang Gurtai is, and he is a figure on an equal footing with Huang Taiji, the master of Jiannu!
This guy, I didn't expect to kill a big slave chief at once!
He arched his hand excitedly and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, the little one will repay our Lord Governor." ”
With that, he arched his hand again, and waited to turn his horse's head and go back to report the good news.
Hou Shilu suddenly beckoned: "Uh, uh, don't be busy walking, I still have something to tell you." ”
Zhang Pan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My lord, please speak." ”
Hou Shilu leaned his head over and said in a low voice: "Go and tell you the governor, the emperor is here, and he is on the city gate." ”
When Zhang Pan heard this, he thanked him with his hand, and then beat his horse and galloped towards Zhang Bin.
He was so excited, the emperor was here, he really didn't know what to do, he only knew that the slave chief Mang Gurtai was killed by them, which was a great achievement, so he shouted excitedly dozens of steps away from Zhang Bin: "My lord, my lord, this guy is the slave chief Mang Gurtai, one of the four great Baylors of Jiannu." ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, he almost jumped up from his horse excitedly, Mang Gurtai, it turned out to be Mang Gurtai, the legend of Houjin is the most capable of fighting, and he can fight better than Huang Taiji, but he was killed by him inexplicably!
By the way, this guy didn't kill himself, who killed it, he immediately turned around and asked: "Yuanfu, who killed this guy, this is a great merit, and it must be rewarded." ”
Qi Yuanfu touched his head and was embarrassed: "This, just now this guy seems to be quite fierce, I asked Changshan to go over and command ten mandarin duck formations to surround him, I don't know who killed him, this guy has more than ten gun holes." ”
This is embarrassing, no one has received such a big credit, so he had to say stupidly: "Then you ask Changshan to write down the ten squads, including him, each of them will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and if there is a reward from the imperial court, it will be distributed to them." ”
Ten taels, it's not a small amount, if you buy food, it's enough for people to eat for a year, Qi Yuanfu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The last general will thank them for their reward." ”
At this time, Zhang Pan came over, followed Hou Shilu's example, put his head in front of Zhang Bin and whispered: "My lord, just now Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, asked me to tell you that the emperor is here, and he is on the city gate." ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, he pretended to be surprised, and said at a loss: "Ah, the emperor is here, this, this." ”
This ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, he should go to see Chongzhen after pretending to be so long, it just so happens that there is a slave chief, and offering the body of the slave chief seems to be a very good way to see it.
He thought about it, and immediately said to Xie Zhenggang behind him: "Little Sixth Uncle, quickly, gather all the guards, go to the whole stretcher, carry the corpse of this slave chieftain Mang Gurtai, and follow me to see the emperor." Oh, by the way, Motosuke, go and call all your brothers and come with me to see the emperor. ”
This stretcher is naturally designed by Zhang Bin, that is, it is an idea, there is no technical content, with the current production level of Daming, any weaver can make it.
After a while, everyone gathered over, and the stretcher was ready, Zhang Bin thought about it carefully, and then asked Qi Yuangong: "Yuangong, have the results been counted, how many enemies have been killed?" ”
Qi Yuangong said with some embarrassment: "This, the specific number hasn't been pointed out yet, it's about four thousand." ”
Zhang Bin nodded, and then arranged the matter of entering the slave chieftain, and the corpse of the slave chief did not seem to have this example, but after the Ming Dynasty won a big victory, he often engaged in the noon gate to sacrifice prisoners, so it should be similar according to the routine of the noon gate prisoners.
It seemed that there were no horseback riders at this noon gate, so he simply let everyone dismount, and even he himself turned over, straightened his armor, and ordered all the guards to line up and carry the body of Mang Gurtai, and then strode towards Yongding Gate.
On the tower of the city gate, Chongzhen saw Zhang Bin with a solemn look from the telescope, carrying the corpse of an enemy general, and immediately turned around and asked, "Companion, who is the master of the slave who has just built a slave?" ”
Cao Huachun immediately arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, that is the fifth son of Jiannu Nurhachi, Mang Gurtai." ”
Chongzhen has naturally heard of Mang Gurtai, this guy is a prince-level figure on Jiannu's side, but he didn't expect Zhang Bin to give him such a big gift.
He thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered: "Go, let them open the city gate, you go and make arrangements, and let the Jinyi guards and the accompanying attendants line up outside the city gate according to the rules of offering prisoners." ”
When Cao Huachun heard this, he immediately stiffened his head and admonished: "Your Majesty, Jiannu is outside the city, you can't venture out of the city." ”
Chongzhen waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "What kind of adventure out of the city, what is the danger of standing at the gate of the city for a while, you don't know those who compile history books, the pen is poisonous, such a big thing, if I shrink in the city, they will come directly, the governor of Fujian defeated the slave outside the Yongding Gate, and killed the slave chief Mang Gurtai, I dare not show my face when the emperor shrinks the city gate, then there is no place for my face, hurry up." ”
People are terrible, this Ming Dynasty often does not deal with civil officials, what bad things have been done by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but they have been arranged by these civil officials who compile history books!
They may not have a single word offensive to the emperor in the whole article, but they will write it down for you.
Cao Huachun naturally read the relevant records, and as soon as Chongzhen said this, he immediately stopped persuading him and silently went down to make arrangements.
This battlefield is four or five miles away from Yongding Gate, and it will take two quarters of an hour for Zhang Bin and them to walk over, which is naturally enough for Cao Huachun to put on a show.
Cao Huachun's side is letting people open the city gate, Hou Shilu's side is blowing up again, Mang Gurtai has humiliated them on the other side for most of the day, and this appearance trait was naturally recorded by all the soldiers in Xuanfu Town.
This guy was actually killed, just unstoppable, the master of Jiannu who was full of dung, Mang Gurtai, was actually killed by the Qi family's army!
Everyone is excited and excited, let you spray, you can't spray at this time.
They looked at Zhang Bin and his party with great reverence, this reckless Gurtai has also fought a few battles with them, they naturally know how fierce this guy is, he was killed by such a person in front of him, how fierce these people must be!
When Zhang Bin and them came in a neat line, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town in front of them took the initiative to give them a road, and Hou Shilu also rushed over with a group of generals, dismounted and stood aside to show respect.
Zhang Bin walked slowly with people, and Cao Huachun was quickly arranging the city gate, the emperor didn't bring too many people this time, he could only let hundreds of Jinyi captains line up on the opposite side of the moat, and let a group of eunuchs with flags line up from the bridge of the moat to the city gate, and let a group of eunuchs with signs line up on both sides of the city gate, and then ordered hundreds of Jinyi captains to be sent from the city gate to the city gate tower, all the people brought were finished.
When Zhang Bin and his party came to the other side of the moat, Chongzhen was already standing outside the city gate with a smile on his face.
This routine seems to be a little wrong, Zhang Bin's mind spun around quickly, and he immediately raised his hand to let everyone stop, and then quickly turned his head and said: "All the guards are lined up here, don't follow, Yuanfu, the four of you carry the corpse of Gurtai." ”
When Qi Yuanfu and his brothers heard this, they immediately ran behind to take the stretcher in the hands of the guards, while Zhang Bin took Qi Yuangong and continued to walk towards the city gate.
After crossing the moat and coming to Chongzhen about ten steps in front of him, Zhang Bin took the lead in kneeling down and bowing and said: "Wechen knocked to see the emperor, dragged the emperor Hongfu, Weichen luckily captured the slave chief Mang Gurtai, and annihilated more than 4,000 Jiannu cavalry, and now Weichen brought the corpse of the slave chief Mang Gurtai, please take a look at the emperor." ”
Chongzhen stepped forward to help Zhang Bin up, and then said with relief: "Zhang Aiqing, the king of thousands of miles, the first victory in the first battle, I am very relieved, and all Aiqing, hurry up, hurry up." ”
Everyone thanked the emperor in unison, and then got up from the ground.
Everyone thanked him for this, Chongzhen was immediately a little embarrassed, people have made such a great contribution, they have to reward something, the problem is that he has no money, what should I do?
He looked at the Qi brothers, and couldn't help but be moved, these people are not very old at first glance, and their positions should not be high, if they want money, they want a bunch of officials!
Thinking of this, he immediately pretended to be curious and said, "Zhang Aiqing, who are these Aiqing?" What are their positions now? ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly introduced: "Your Majesty, this is Qi Yuangong, the son of Qi Wulie, who Weichen begged the emperor, the current general, these two are Qi Yuanfu and Qi Yuanbi, and they are also the sons of Qi Wulie, the current guerrilla general, these two are Qi Xianzong, Qi Zhenzong, the grandson of Qi Wuxiang, and the current president of Qian. ”
Chongzhen immediately appreciated: "Okay, after being loyal to the martyrs, he made this miraculous feat, and he should be rewarded." In this way, with your companions, you write it down, promote Qi Yuangong to the general army of Fujian, promote Qi Yuanfu and Qi Yuanbi to generals, and promote Qi Xianzong and Qi Zhenzong to guerrilla generals, and immediately send a message to the military department and order them to write immediately. ”
This Qi Yuangong is also unlucky, originally he was just a Fuyin Governor, but he was promoted to the actual chief soldier in less than two years with Zhang Bin, and he became a chief soldier in his twenties, much stronger than his father Qi Wulie!
