Seeing Li Hongyu squatting there and vomiting a mess, the generals behind him smiled one after another, they were not mocking Li Hongyu, but smiling kindly, after all, Li Hongyu is not a military attache and it is the first time to go to the battlefield, it is inevitable that he will be uncomfortable with the bloody scene

In fact, not only Li Hongyu, but even the generals reacted similar to Li Hongyu when they saw this bloody picture for the first time, and they all vomited.

This is a process that Li Hongyu must go through in the transformation from a civilian official to the commander of the Liaodong army, and only after witnessing life and death on the battlefield can he become a qualified commander and win the respect of his soldiers.

After Li Hongyu finished vomiting, Man Gui hurriedly handed over the water bladder, and after he cleaned it, he relieved himself, feeling as if he had vomited all the bile just now.

"The official was uncomfortable with this kind of scene, which made everyone laugh."

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Li Hongyu smiled self-deprecatingly, then glanced at the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in the distance who were cutting the heads of the Houjin soldiers, and said to Li Rubai after a deep groan, "Old General Li, this official feels that this way of remembering merit is quite inappropriate, and meritorious service in war should be determined by whether the task is completed, rather than rushing to cut off a few heads." ”

"Although the Liaodong Iron Cavalry did not compete for merit in wartime, if several troops fought together, it was inevitable that they would make mistakes because of the merit."

As he spoke, Li Hongyu turned his mind, looked at the generals at the scene, and announced loudly, "This official has decided that the standard for meritorious service in the future will be whether the task is completed and whether the battle is brave, and the first rank will no longer prevail!" ”

Hearing this, the generals on the scene suddenly made a commotion, and the Ming Dynasty's standards for military merit revolved around whether to measure the enemy's head as the standard, and it was repeated many times.

Proponents believe that this avoids the phenomenon of taking credit, and sometimes only a few enemy soldiers are captured or eliminated, but the number of people who take credit exceeds 100 is very troublesome.

Opponents believe that this is not only easy to kill, but also detrimental to the engagement on the battlefield, causing everyone to scramble for the enemy's head.

However, because of the severity of the phenomenon of taking credit, most of the time the imperial court used the number of enemy heads as the standard to determine the size of the credit, and it did not matter if it was defeated.

In Li Hongyu's view, such a formulation is now behind the times and is not conducive to the army's performance on the battlefield, so the standard of military merit has been changed.

"Lord Governor, I have captured the commander of Jiannu."

At this moment, Li Zhizhong walked over quickly, pointed to Li Hongyu and said to Li Hongyu in a deep voice with a strong man who was tied up by several cavalrymen.

The strong man had shaved his hair on the front of his head, had a few pigtails combed back on his head, had several wounds on his body, and the clothes around him had been stained red with blood, and he glared at Li Hongyu with a fierce face, looking quite unconvinced.

"Tell him that this is General Li Rubai." Seeing this, Li Hongyu frowned slightly, glanced at Li Rubai and said to Li Zhizhong, Li Zhizhong was born and raised in Liaodong, and it can be said that he has dealt with the Jurchens since he was a child, so he naturally understands the Jurchens.

Li Zhizhong heard that he said a few words to the strong man in Jurchen language according to Li Hongyu's instructions, and the strong man's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he looked at Li Rubai in surprise, his eyes were full of awe, the reputation of the Li family's father and son was like thunder in Liaodong, especially with Nurhachi.

"Tell him that Du Du's white flag is no more than Erer, and this governor still thinks how powerful the Eight Banners are, but in the end it is just a local chicken and a dog." Seeing that the strong man was in front of him, Li Hongyu knew that he was afraid of the prestige of the Li family's father and son, so he sneered and said to Li Zhizhong.

At this moment, no one knows that Li Hongyu has learned Mongolian and Jurchen from Zhao Xin, although he is still a little rusty, it is not a problem to communicate with people, and the reason why he hides it from the outside world is naturally because he doesn't want to be too public, showing weakness to the enemy.

Li Zhizhong's face suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard this, he never expected Li Hongyu to know that the Houjin soldiers stationed outside Yaque Pass belonged to the Zhengbai Banner in the Eight Banners of the Houjin, and he also knew that the owner of the Zhengbai Banner was Dudu, the grandson of Nurhachi.

However, Li Zhizhong quickly came back to his senses, and it must have been Li Hongyu who noticed the military flag of the Houjin Army in the barracks, so he learned the origin of the Houjin soldiers in the barracks.

When Li Zhizhong relayed Li Hongyu's words to the strong man, the strong man's expression suddenly became excited, and he said something in his mouth, as if he was quite unconvinced.

Li Hongyu vaguely understood, the strong man said that if it wasn't for Li Zhizhong's sneak attack, he would definitely not be defeated, and he seemed to be very confident in his own combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, this is exactly what Li Zhizhong meant after translating to Li Hongyu, and the strong man accused Li Zhizhong of being too despicable and obscene.

"Last month, who attacked our Ming Dynasty's Western Route Army and Northern Route Army, and sent someone disguised as the Western Route Army to deliver false news to the Southern Route Army, causing the Southern Route Army to fall into your trap, and now you actually tell this governor about the sneak attack? It seems that your skin is the same as Nurhachi's, and it is thicker than the city walls! ”

Looking at the arrogant strong man, Li Hongyu sneered and said coldly, "This governor will not kill you this time, you go back and tell Nurhachi that this governor will come to Liaodong this time to do the right thing for the heavens, destroy you barbarians who dare to rebel, and spread Nurhachi's head to the nine sides!" ”

After Li Zhizhong translated, the strong man's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he didn't know how to answer Li Hongyu for a while, after all, when it came to the work of his mouth, where was Li Hongyu's opponent for a rough man like him.

"However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped!" Without waiting for the strong man to open his mouth to refute, Li Hongyu looked at him coldly, "If this governor just lets you go, are you worthy of the officials and soldiers killed by you?" ”

"Come on, cut off those pig tails on his head for Governor Ben." As he spoke, Li Hongyu stretched out his hand and pointed to the pigtails on the strong man's head and shouted loudly.

The strong man didn't know what Li Hongyu was talking about at first, but after several tall soldiers rushed forward and pressed him to the ground, and pulled out his waist knife to cut off a pigtail on his head, he finally reacted, yelling at what he was desperately struggling, in the eyes of the Jurchens, it was a great shame to be cut off by the enemy.

"Tell Nurhachi that the governor will definitely enter Hetuara and capture him alive, so that he can enjoy himself these days!" After the pigtails on the strong man's head were cut, Li Hongyu stared at the strong man whose face was flushed and said, "This governor still has some gifts to give him, which can be regarded as paying off the debts of the soldiers and civilians in Qinghe City who were slaughtered by him." ”

"Someone, cut a braid from each corpse and put it together for him to take away." As he spoke, Li Hongyu coldly gave an order to the soldiers on the side, and then said to the strong man with an expressionless face, "As long as this governor is in Liaodong, I will give him more 'gifts' so that he is ready to receive them." ”

After Li Zhizhong finished translating what he had just said, Li Hongyu waved his hand, and the strong man was taken down by the soldiers.

Li Rubai, Yan Mingtai and the others couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, they thought that Li Hongyu was a weak scholar who would vomit when he saw a bloody scene, but they didn't expect him to have such a cold side, and they actually thought of a way to cut off the braids of the Houjin Army to demonstrate to Nurhachi, which was not so bloody and achieved the goal at the same time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Li Hongyu patrolled the battlefield surrounded by everyone, and the ground was littered with the corpses of Houjin soldiers with arrows stuck in their bodies, judging from the costumes, there were Jurchens and soldiers from a few other tribes in Liaodong.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry also inevitably suffered casualties in this attack, some of the wounded cavalry bandaged their wounds with the help of their companions, and the bodies of those dead cavalrymen were carried away by their companions to find a place to bury.

To Li Hongyu's surprise, dozens of Houjin soldiers were captured, and it seems that not all Houjin soldiers can be fearless of life and death.

Moreover, Li Hongyu was also surprised by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry's feelings for those captives, it stands to reason that they should kill those prisoners, war is not child's play, and it is even more cruel to fight with foreign races, usually neither side wants the other party's prisoners.

Unless one side wants to take the prisoners of the other side for its own use, it is clear that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry will not take in those soldiers of the Later Jin Army.

The only explanation is that Li Hongyu's final instructions to Li Zhizhong had a role, so the Liaodong Iron Cavalry had mercy on those Houjin soldiers.

"Bring the flag."

After inspecting the camp of the Houjin soldiers, Li Hongyu took the military flag of the "Liaodong Tiger General" from Man Gui's hand, handed it over to Li Zhizhong in public, and said with a smile, "After the general gets this horse, the cavalry under his command will become the 'Liaodong Tiger Cavalry', I hope the general will make persistent efforts and make new contributions to my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Thanks to the teachings of the governor, I will be loyal to the country and live up to the trust of my lord."

Hearing the words "Liaodong Tiger Rider", Li Zhizhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he held the military flag with both hands, and bowed down to answer with high spirits, looking a little excited.

The generals at the scene showed envious expressions on their faces when they heard this, thinking that Li Zhizhong had picked up a big bargain and won the title of "Liaodong Tiger Rider" by virtue of the battle just now, which was an out-and-out huge honor.

To tell the truth, in the eyes of the generals, whoever leads two thousand elite cavalry can kill the Houjin military camp outside the Guan, so the title of "Liaodong Tiger Cavalry" is simply the same as giving it to Li Zhizhong in vain.

"Old General Li, from today onwards, send a small group of cavalry out of the pass to Jiannu's territory to attack and harass, if they can, they will fight, and if they can't stand, they will retreat, and they will definitely not be at peace."

Li Hongyu naturally noticed the change in the expressions of the generals at the scene, so he muttered for a while and said to Li Rubai, "As long as they can attract Houjin's army here, then this official will give them a great credit." ”

"Lord Governor, now that the strength of Yaque Pass is limited, it is better for us to act rashly, Chief Jian will definitely send troops if he learns that the Lord is here." Li Rubai was secretly taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him, it is very unwise to provoke the Houjin army now.
