Chapter 120: Knowing Can't Be Reported
Although the Mongols are a nation on horseback, but in the previous wars with the Ming Dynasty, the dismounted fighting with each other is generally evenly divided, and the Ming people win in the excellent armor, the number of people, and the fierce beastliness of the Tartar soldiers. However, from the beginning of the Zhengde period, the Tartars were at a comprehensive disadvantage in the war.
But it was a regular army's war, and after examining the corpses of these Tartars outside, it was found that they were not ordinary horse bandits who colluded with each other inside and outside, but regular Tartar cavalry. There are a lot of Tatars in the Beijing camp, and when I ask those living mouths, this is a sigh of relief, it turns out that they are bandits who wandered to the vicinity of Beijing to hunt some wild food, not scouts when the large army invaded.
The Ming military law, beheading is a great achievement, more than 200 of the 300 Tartars outside were killed, and this kind of merit can already make Jiang Feng's official rank in Jinyiwei rise from 100 households to 1,000 households, or turn the current 100 households into hereditary.
Wu Qianhu groaned there without making a sound, looking like he wanted to speak, but in the end he just said:
"I'll go out and see the tartars."
Jiang Feng was already in a normal mood there, and now he was just thinking about why he didn't have the opportunity to appear and kill just now, and he was actually a little remorseful, but he also noticed the abnormality of Wu Qianhu's face, Zhang Liang had already followed, Zhang Zhen stood up and punched him hard in the chest, scolding:
"Bastard boy, how many did you kill tonight!?"
Zhang Liang was completely radiant there, puffed up his chest and said:
"Five!"
Then he added a sentence of dejection:
"It's not as good as those boys, who actually cut fifteen by themselves......"
After Zhang Zhen heard this, he was also startled, but then patted his shoulder and said:
"Go to the door and watch, don't let anyone in except Wu Qianhu."
Jiang Feng wondered in his heart, he killed hundreds of Tartars with more than 100 people this time, but he didn't look happy at all when he saw Wu Qianhu and Zhang Zhen's faces, there was definitely some cat in it, and now it seemed that he was going to confess to him, Zhang Zhen didn't have any politeness after sitting down, and said with a smile:
"Zhang Liang is your apprentice, I will call you brother when I get older, Brother Jiang, this time he was beheaded two hundred and seventy, and in the torture just now, the leader of the team was actually a thousand-commander. Beheaded two hundred and seventy, and there is an enemy general, this is a great achievement, well, I calculate, this time it is not impossible to be a fourth-grade one. ”
If it is such a good thing, you will not close the door and talk to me, Jiang Feng scolded in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, there are seven hundred Jingying horse teams outside, and it is not good for him to make trouble at this time, but he just asked gently and said:
"Brother Zhang, if you have any advice, just say it, and I'm not an unreasonable person."
Zhang Zhen didn't expect Jiang Feng to be so direct, smiled awkwardly, and said there:
"Speaking of which, Zhang Liang's stinky boy has always been taken care of by you, and his mother and I are going to put wine at home Thank you, brother, I haven't found the time, Brother Jiang, I know that Zhang Dugong is your elder, although we are internal security military attachés, this military merit is also indispensable, even if my unsuccessful rabbit cub can't do it well, he can mention a hundred households."
The chattering Zhang Zhen looked at Jiang Feng with an impatient look, and finally turned to the topic:
"Brother, but if you report to the military department for your military merits, there will be four of the general soldiers on the nine sides who will be removed, and the Beijing battalions and various guards around the Beijing Division will be punished, and those who are related to it will be punished, and there will be dozens of people who have lost their heads, this is hundreds of Tartars who have entered the vicinity of the Beijing Division, or the cavalry of the Tartars, who are on duty to guard and chase the border army, the Beijing camp, the guard post, no one can run."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhen stood up and gave Jiang Feng a deep swipe there, and pleaded solemnly:
"Lord Jiang, Zhang is here to ask Lord Jiang for tonight's matter, this is the end of the border army and the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division."
Having said this, Jiang Feng also understood that if the killing of these bandits was announced to the public, he would certainly be beautiful, but from another point of view, the responsibility of all aspects of this matter could not be escaped, the general army at the border gate was negligent in defense, allowing the horse bandits to escape, and the guards and Beijing camps along the way did not find the encirclement and suppression in time, resulting in several Zhuangzi being destroyed. At the top, there are also those who manage the responsibilities of the yamen at all levels who are in charge of the soldiers and horses, but they are really implicated in many people, and the impact is profound, although they are under the protection of Zhang Yong, but if they are greedy for military merits, they get benefits, but they almost offend most of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, so whether it is for themselves or for Zhang Yong, the gains outweigh the losses.
Looking at Zhang Zhen in front of him, who was the 'aging version of Zhang Liang', Jiang Feng knew in his heart that if he didn't have a close relationship with Zhang Yong and Dongchang, I was afraid that the 700 Beijing Camp horse team outside would soon change from a rescuer to a bandit who was even more ferocious than the Tartars, killing these people here.
But just let it go, how to calculate your own losses, and you don't lack silver, and suddenly thought of one of them tonight, and said:
"All the horses of the Tartars will be mine."
Horse bandits and horse bandits must have come here with a lot of horses, Zhang Zhen did not hesitate there, the hundreds of horses below, Jingying and Jinyiwei still don't pay attention to it, since the Ming Dynasty established itself, it has never been the same as the Song Dynasty for horses.
"There is no problem, Brother Jiang has worked so hard this time and does not care about personal gains and losses, what is the gain of a few hundred horses, and the old brother will leave it to the fifth floor village."
"You will supply the horses!"
Zhang Zhen was stunned for a moment, thinking that his son's master was so young, and he was greedy for money, but he didn't leak a drop of water, and then he thought about it, the empty amount of food in the officer's hands every year, and the oil and water he fished compared to the horse material of hundreds of horses, it was clear who was lighter and who was heavier, and whether it was a question of whether it would be guaranteed to continue fishing.
Thinking of this, he also nodded, it was considered to be for Wu Qianhu outside, for the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, and after saying this, Zhang Zhen said with a smile:
"In that case, brother, I'm going to go out and deal with those tartars......"
Turning around and just about to go out, Jiang Feng slowly opened his mouth behind him and said:
"Brother Zhang, there is no guarantee that there will be people from Dongchang among the more than 700 people in the horse team, although we don't need to make a written note, but if we don't comply in the future, it won't be impossible to lift."
Zhang Zhen's back shook, turned around with a smile, and said:
"My son made you an apprentice, and he really worshiped a good master!"
Jiang Feng didn't make a sound, and after Zhang Zhen went out, he muttered to himself, "Is Zhang Liang your own son, I don't like it." ”
The next day, Jiang Feng embarked on the way home under the escort of ten iron dings, and the more than 300 Tartar horse bandits only escaped from the three people who were watching the horses at the bottom of the mountain, and the rest were all beheaded. There are also dozens of people who have been blasted into honeycombs by the iron sand shot from the firecracker, and everything was settled down last night.
Wu Qianhu, who knew that the matter was completely neat, was extremely happy, and arranged for hundreds of people of the Jingying horse team to not rest and return, and directly built a simple horse pen in the open space not far from the official road at the foot of the mountain.
The transaction between the two sides was completed, and when Jiang Feng left, the old officer just said a few words, but Jiang Feng was extremely impressed, "In the future, I will train the soldiers according to the battle of the adults last night" This sentence made Jiang Feng quite happy, "After last night, these iron men are really desperate to regard the adults as masters" Jiang Feng was even happier when he said this sentence. However, the last sentence "Is Master Jiang practicing these iron dings to take care of the family?" ”
This was the word that made Jiang Feng a little frightened, the old officer may have said something unintentionally, and he had already asked Jiang Feng about some of the most secret things in his heart.
However, the old officer did not make any suspicious moves next, and said that the Imperial Horse Supervisor would soon send an officer who was proficient in riding to teach, and then mentioned that Jiang Feng could not come to this place once in the middle of the month, and the so-called loyalty and awe of the Tie Ding would gradually fade.
Jiang Feng had already made up his mind, since this was the case, then take the ten people who performed well in these iron dings with him, including Luo Yi, who had cut off the heads of fifteen people. Follow Jiang Feng in the Jingshi, and Jiang Feng will train them there.
The old officer said to Jiang Feng:
"I have also seen the soldiers of Chen Dahu's team, but the array method you handed over to them is powerful, and these ten young people will also learn a lot from you."
Zhang Liang's horses fell behind Jiang Feng, and the big carts that could be used after a night of fierce fighting were two that were still in good condition, but Jiang Feng not only promised to compensate these big carts, but also promised to add money to those handlebar styles, provided that the things of that night were not to be said, and the handlebar style that was frightened all night was naturally full of promises.
Now those handlebar and iron dings are lying on the cart horizontally, leisurely looking at the sun, and the leisurely after the bloody battle (in fact, they didn't shed too much blood) is the most comfortable. Jiang Feng had a calm face in front of him, and suddenly turned around and asked Zhang Liang:
"The one whose head was cut off by you still has relatives in the family, right?"
Without waiting for Zhang Liang to answer, Jiang Feng continued there:
"I sent some money to their family, and they said that they had a sudden illness and were not treated in time."
Naturally, there will be no more problems on the way back to the Jingshi from the fifth floor of the village, and when entering the Jingshi, the people who followed behind were naturally wearing cloth clothes, not taking armor and weapons, and the road guide was also complete, and the people of the City Patrol Division interrogated them and put them in.
A group of people returned to Nancheng quite tired, and walked to the door of a little profit, Wang Qinian was already waiting at the door, and when he saw them appear, he immediately ran over, grabbed Jiang Feng's horse's head, and said in a low voice:
"The owner, I have found the place where Mr. Liu lives......"
