Chapter 502: The Great Parade of the Tartar Heads
This time, the head of the Tartar was sent to the Jingshi, and the purpose of Mo Yu's entourage was to record everything he saw and heard. As for his identity as a tiger army, that is also public. Zhang Zhun believes that with Shi Kefa's personality, he will not let others take credit. However, Zhu Dadian can't believe it. If there was no one from the Tiger Army, perhaps, Zhu Dadian would dare to say that all the heads of these Tartars were obtained by him.
In fact, even if Mo Yu accompanied him, the heads of these Tartars probably didn't have to go to Jingshi, and the names of the Tiger Ben Army would be completely submerged. For the ability of officials of the Ming Dynasty to snatch credit, Zhang Zhun has deeply understood. Not to mention anything else for the time being, let's just talk about the territory of Shandong, these 3,999 Tartar heads are sent up, and after they arrive in Jinan Mansion, half of the credit will be taken away by the governor of Shandong.
Well, what name does Zhu Dadian have? Can you take the credit of the Tiger Army? Don't forget that he is the governor of Shandong, and nominally speaking, the entire armed forces on the ground in Shandong are under his jurisdiction. The same is true for the Tiger Army. Therefore, Zhang Zhun defeated Tatar under his "leadership", which shows that he is a good leader, and according to the consistent concept of the Chinese, the fault is subordinate, and the credit is the leader, and it is not an exaggeration for Zhu Dadian to take half of the credit.
Zhang Zhun has a considerable estimate of Zhu Dadian's cheekiness. In fact, people with no thick skin and thick walls have no chance to survive in the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhang Zhun is not interested in others stealing merit at all. The Tiger Ben Army doesn't care about the head of the Tartar anymore. As long as the Tartar is dead, it doesn't matter if you want a head or not.
On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, on an auspicious day, Shi Kefa left Huangxian with the heads of 3,999 Tartars and set off for Beijing. They traveled all the way west, first to Zhaoyuan, and then from Zhaoyuan to Ye County. Everywhere he went, Mo Yu had to hand out flyers in advance and invite people to watch them for free.
The heads of three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine tartars were full of twenty donkey carts. On top of each donkey cart, it was piled up to the brim, as if it were a hill. The people along the way are completely enjoyable. Such a spectacular scene is rare to see once in a lifetime!
They were originally frightened by the Tartars, but finally felt it for the first time, it turned out that the Tartars could also be killed, and they were killed so many at once. With so many Tartar heads placed on donkey carts, one can imagine how many Tartars the Tiger Army had killed. Unconsciously, the people's fear of tartars disappeared. Most people have only one thought in their minds: Tartars have today!
When the head of the Tartar entered the Laizhou Mansion, it was even more sensational. Some people have obviously come to Huangxian to come and see, but at this time, they can't help but step forward and observe carefully again. In the face of the surging crowd, Mo Yu kept sighing, Lord Du Du is not greedy enough, if every person who comes to visit charges a copper plate for the visit, he Mo Yu will soon have a net worth of 1,000 taels of silver.
As a result, from Ye County to Changyi, Weixian, and Changle, Shi Kefa's donkey cart traveled for ten days, especially when it arrived in Qingzhou City, and more people flocked to besiege it. The people of Laizhou Mansion, after all, knew that Zhang Zhun was an expert in killing Tartars, and he once exhibited a large number of Tartar heads in Jimo County. A lot of people have seen it before. Seeing it now, of course, I won't be too excited. However, Qingzhou Mansion is different.
The people of Qingzhou Mansion have never seen the head of the Tartar. At this time, thousands of Tartar heads arrived, how could you not have a sneak peek? For a while, the crowd of people swarmed up, and it was simply an empty alley! Some people even sang and danced, twisted Yangge, and the atmosphere was even more lively than the New Year. Seriously, the people of Qingzhou Mansion have never been so lively.
"Crack, crack!"
"Tom tom!"
When the head of the Tartar was sent to Jinan City, Zhu Dadian had already prepared a large number of firecrackers. When the head of the Tartar arrived, the sound of crackling firecrackers immediately enveloped the whole city. In order to show the existence of Jinan City and the majesty of the governor of Shandong, Zhu Dadian also ordered 30 cannons to be fired. For a time, Jinan City was also boiling.
The civil and military officials of Shandong Province were naturally all present. Du Ailing, the political envoy of Shandong's right-hand cloth, Bao Guoan, the political envoy of Shandong's left-hand cloth, and Zheng Man, Shandong's procurator for criminal prosecution, were all present. For such an eye-catching occasion, if you don't come, it will definitely be a loss. Even Lu Zhenfei, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture, came running in a hurry. Of course, on such a grand occasion, it is natural that the two princes of King De and King Heng are indispensable.
After greeting the head of the Tartar at the door, Zhu Dadian made a splendidly declaration on the spot. Careful people must be able to hear that Zhu Dadian cleverly replaced Zhang Zhun and Hu Benjun with the words Shandong military and civilian in every place. The Tartars killed by Zhang Zhun and the Tiger Benjun have all become the credit of the Shandong army and people. And the credit of the military and people of Shandong is, of course, the credit of the governor of Shandong. As for Mo Yu, the representative of the Tiger Army, I'm sorry, I was completely ignored.
"Shit! It's too ugly to eat! Zheng Man said coldly beside him, his face full of disdain.
"Aren't Zhang Zhun and the Tiger Army the soldiers and civilians of Shandong?" Yu Yinggui, the governor of Jinan Prefecture, said coldly. He is also a member of Wen Tiren's party, and his relationship with Zheng Man has never been good.
"Zhang Zhun is fighting the Tartars on the front line, and we have also done a lot of work in the back! It's just that the Tartars were defeated too quickly, and we haven't had time to strike yet. However, no one can bury our credit. I'm also going to personally send 5,000 stone of grain to Huang County! "Lu Zhenfei, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture, and Yu Yinggui are allies, so they naturally want to refute Zheng Man, and by the way, they will take credit for their own contributions.
"It's the Shandong military and civilians, of course it's the Shandong military and the people." Shandong Commander Tian Wanyou interjected and said. It was as if Zhang Zhun had killed so many Tartars, and he could also get the credit. In fact, he does have merit. Isn't Zhang Zhun from a health center in Shandong?
"I'm afraid Zhang Zhun doesn't think so!" Zheng Man said coldly.
The faces of several people were a little ugly, and then they glared at Zheng Man angrily. Zheng Man's words just hit their sore spot. That's right, Zhang Zhun is indeed on the territory of Shandong, but he is two people from the same way. In "Begging for Rape", there are the names of Lu Zhenfei and Yu Yinggui. It is conceivable what will happen if they fall into Zhang Zhun's hands.
However, I have seen a slap in the face, but I have never seen a slap in the face like this. Although your Zheng Man's name is not on "Begging for Rape", do you think you can escape Zhang Zhun's butcher's knife? Bullshit! Want to secretly communicate with Zhang Zhun secretly? Go up with a concerto, let the brocade guard take you down first! Collusion with thieves is a capital crime!
Not to mention that several people were pestering each other, but Zhu Dadian was in high spirits over there, and he was about to prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. The heads of several slave chiefs were taken out separately and sacrificed to heaven and earth. Zhu Dadian, who was born as a literati, is, of course, a piece of gorgeous rhetoric and sprinkled sacrificial texts.
Mo Yu's cultural level is actually half a bucket of water, and he doesn't understand Pun Wen at all, and he dozed off when he listened to it next to him. But for the sake of the image of the Tiger Army, I had to encourage myself to lift my spirit. It was really uncomfortable. The other officials were in high spirits, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they felt as if the emperor was about to come to review.
After the sacrifice, Zhu Dadian announced that Jinan City would hold a celebration for three days. During these three days, people from all over Shandong can enjoy visiting the head of the Tartar. Of course, only two hours in the morning are free of charge, and at other times, each person is charged three copper plates.
As a result, from early in the morning, countless people came to visit. The crowds are surging, shoulder to shoulder, as if it is a temple fair. In fact, the busiest temple fairs can't keep up with the crowds here. At the beginning, it was rumored that the Tatars had entered Shandong, and the people around Jinan Mansion were so frightened that they packed up their burdens and were ready to flee at any time. Now that I heard that the Tartars had been killed and their heads had been sent, it was natural that I should come and see them in person in order to dispel the fear in my heart.
Three copper plates are not much, definitely not much. It used to be too difficult to take a look at the head of the Tartar. In Liaodong, with dozens of heads of the Ming army, they could not exchange the heads of a Tartar. The Tartars entered the Kou twice, hundreds of thousands of people died in the north, hundreds of thousands were robbed, and they did not get the head of a Tartar. Now, with three copper plates, you can see the heads of thousands of Tartars, which is really too cheap.
As a result, in just three days, more than 1.3 million copper plates, equivalent to more than 1,300 taels of silver, were received. Watching the heavy copper plate being taken away by others, Mo Yu's heart kept dripping blood. Look, Lord Governor, all the money has been earned!
However, this is not the most lively yet. Everyone knows that when the head of the Tartar is sent to the Beijing Division, it is really lively! Shi Kefa worked hard to dig out the head of the Tartar and then send it all the way to the Beijing Division, didn't he want to completely eliminate the panic atmosphere in the Beijing Division? Speaking of which, Jingshi panicked, but he had to carry the head of the tartar from Zhang Zhun to calm the panic, which was depressing enough. I don't know if the Ming army along the way will die of shame?
Compared with the area passed by the Tatar head along the way, which was boiling, Huangxian County was silent. After the battlefield was cleared, there were no traces of fierce battles. A large number of people in Huang County are returning to their hometowns one after another, ready to start a new life. Zhang Shenyan, the new governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, has also taken a number of effective measures to help the local people resume production and life as soon as possible. The originally deserted Huang County slowly became lively again.
The Tiger Ben Army stationed in Huang County also began to train and be on duty step by step. In total, there were four battalions of Tiger Army infantry and one battalion of Tiger Army artillery, stationed around Huang County. There were also two battalions of the Huben cavalry, stationed in the town of Mazhu behind Huang County. Such a force is enough to ensure the safety of Huang County.
The area where the cavalry moved on a daily basis included the area outside Dengzhou and around Huangxian. Therefore, the people of Huang County can often see heavily armed tiger cavalry passing by them. The fierce sound of horses' hooves brought the people a sense of security.
The remaining Tartars are trapped in Dengzhou City and cannot come out for the time being. The Tiger Ben Army has people who closely monitor Dengzhou City every day. However, if it is said that the Tartars in Dengzhou City will sit still and wait to die, it is completely unlikely. With Dorgon's patience, he would not have surrendered. He will definitely endure until the last moment.
Zhang Zhun's waist also slowly improved. Ning Lingwei gave him acupuncture three times a day on time, and the effect was still very good. He himself took care not to do strenuous exercise. By mid-August, Zhang Zhun was able to resume basic training.
On the 10th day of August, Zhang Zhun issued an order to adjust the establishment of the Chuangzi battalion from the original two associations to five associations, and independently undertake the garrison task of Huang County. The commander of the Chuangzi battalion is still Hao Linyong. After expanding from two associations to five associations, the battalion had 1,500 officers and men. With the assistance of the artillery battalion, even if the Tartars are still fighting, they can be completely blocked.
The Jiezi Battalion, the Ningzi Battalion, and the Liezi Battalion were transferred to the Zhaoyuan area for rest and training. What will be the tasks of these troops in the next stage, Zhang Zhun did not disclose. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see who Zhang Zhun is preparing to deal with by concentrating one cavalry battalion and three infantry battalions in Zhaoyuan.
On August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Zhun spent it in Huang County. Ji Yuqing and the White Lady also came to Huang County, and the family was finally reunited. More than a month after he was born, Zhang Zhun finally saw his first child. With such a new member in the family who only knows how to cry, there is a lot more laughter and fun. The only regret is that Zhang Zhun still doesn't have a happy life. Because Ning Lingwei said that if he didn't pay attention, he would fall ill in the future. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Zhun still listened to the words of the goddess doctor very much, so he had to follow the doctor's instructions.
After the little doll was born, it has not been named. According to Zhang Zhun's meaning, the heavy responsibility of choosing a name naturally fell on Liu Ruye, who called her a talented girl? In the end, Liu Ru suggested naming the baby Zhang Hanlin. According to the calculation of the five elements, these three words are auspicious.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is particularly beautiful. As if to make up for the people who have experienced fear and fleeing, the moonlight is not stingy to drop in all corners of Huang County. In Huang County, which has experienced the war, the people are particularly enjoying this rare Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhang Shenyan specially arranged a lantern festival in the garden and invited Zhang Zhun's family to participate. Ji Yuqing and Liu Ru both went to participate, and they also came back with some small gifts.
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army stationed in Huang County also held a grand celebration. During the day, Zhang Zhun was in the army for the holiday, and only returned to Yunfengju at night to reunite with his small family. Well, it can't be said that it is a small family, if you really want to talk about the population, there are still a lot. Because, Yang Yinghan, Ning Lingwei, Shen Lingfei, Xue Ningying and others are all there, but Xue Zhidie is missing.
