Chapter Ninety-Nine: Crying and Showing Credit
Hearing that Shangguan was visiting, Ziren immediately asked Cui Desheng to gather the soldiers in the fort to line up, and all the seriously wounded in the fort were also supported by all the people. The www.biquge.info ordered Han Shiyong to gather all the old and weak women and children in the fort to put on armor and arms, and instructed everyone to find some blood to smear on their bodies regardless of whether they were injured or not, and welcome them on both sides of the road. Then he took all the families out of the fort to greet him.
Li Dequan has a bold temperament and is unwilling to deal with civil officials, and this Hao Jie has repeatedly opposed Li Chengliang and is very dissatisfied with him. shirked himself and was not under his control, and led his subordinates back to the room to make up for sleep. Ziren persuaded him not to stay, so he could only take all the generals out of the castle to greet him, and the already small number of people in the fort seemed even more withered.
When Hao Jie learned of the Mongnu attack, he immediately summoned all the generals in Liaoyang City to prepare to send troops to respond, but Li Xing, the general of the reinforcement battalion, and Li Qing, the guerrilla of the guerrilla battalion, had many excuses, and they were still slow to move under their repeated urging. Yang Shaoxun, the deputy commander-in-chief, had just arrived, and the strange battalion had not yet been formed, and his subordinates had suffered heavy casualties in the battle of the Yangjiao River.
In desperation, he had to stay still and send people to transfer Shen Yourong and Sun Shoulian stationed in Haizhou to help. Who knew that after waiting for two days, he was shocked to receive the news of the victory at Changning Fort. Worried that Ziren would learn from Li Chengliang to kill and take risks, he hurriedly came with Yang Shaoxun and his subordinates to check.
After waiting outside the south gate for a while, I saw that the city was ruined everywhere, and it was full of Mongolian arrows, and then I saw Ziren limping out of the city with the support of others. Hao Jie knew that this Changning Fort must have gone through a war, and the doubts in his heart couldn't help but be dispelled.
After Hao Jie entered the city with Ziren, traces of war could be seen everywhere along the way, and the ground was covered with Mongolian corpses that had been bleeding like a river, and a thin layer of ice had formed under the cold winter, and it was very sticky to walking on it. The soldiers standing on both sides of the avenue were almost all wounded, many of them were missing arms and legs, and the women and children in the city were also wearing armor and covered with dust, and Ziren knew that this was a fierce battle before he could speak.
After listening to Ziren tell the truth about the course of the battle in the past few days, Hao Jie couldn't help but greatly appreciate Ziren's actions of all the soldiers and the courage to lure the enemy into the city, and immediately asked Ziren what he had achieved in this battle.
Seeing Shangguan's question, Ziren replied respectfully: "If you go back to your lordship, you will win more than eighty of the heads of Mengnu in this battle, and half of the horses. However, the soldiers in the fort suffered heavy casualties, coupled with a military disaster a year ago, now there are no two out of ten men, and Tong Dafang and others secretly collaborated with the slaves to make trouble in the city. ”
"Ziren, you kid is dizzy in this battle, what nonsense!" Yang Shaoxun saw that the patrol press intended to praise Ziren, who knew that this bastard boy did not show merit and actually asked for guilt, so he hurriedly reminded Ziren of his friendship.
Only this Hao Jie is secretly happy, Hao Jie has been inspecting Liaodong for less than half a year, and he has seen the generals of the Li family many times to whitewash their achievements and express their credit, which is very shameful. Seeing that Ziren had made a great contribution and was so humble, the Confucian general was overjoyed, and said with a happy face: "Killing more than 80 enemies is a great achievement, Ziren, you don't have to be so humble at this young age, what do you want, although I say it, I will definitely help you do it within the scope of my official authority." ”
Seeing that the plan succeeded, Ziren replied quietly: "Thank you Lord Hao for your love, it is a man's duty to be loyal to the country, and the lower officials dare not take credit." It's just that there are few people in this fort, and it is really impossible to guard the border wall of these dozens of miles, and I hope that the adults will allocate more Dingkou down. In addition, there are countless soldiers killed in the civil war in Changning Fort, and they will do their best to compensate for them, but the villain's family has limited wealth and is really powerless, and I hope that the adults can allocate funds to appease. ”
Hao Jie saw the predicament in the fort at this time, and when he saw that Ziren's request was not much, he agreed on the spot, and asked him to submit the captured head and battle report as soon as possible, so as to ask for a reward for Ziren. This Changning Fort was full of blood, and Hao Jie did not want to stay for a long time, so he led his troops back to Liaoyang after staying for a short time. Lin Xing Ziren also took out ten of the captured war horses and gave them to Hao Jie and Yang Shaoxun, which made the two very happy.
Not long after Hao Jie and the others left, Ding Bi and Tang Yaoshun came to report, saying that many Mongol corpses had been found by the Taizi River, and the two of them hurriedly cut off their heads and returned to report without knowing what had happened. Ziren felt that it was likely that there was another internal strife among the Monnus, but his men were not strong enough to take advantage of the victory to pursue. They had to order the two to nail the headless corpses of the Mongolian Tartars every hundred steps along the side wall to serve as a deterrent.
After that, he summoned everyone in the fort to announce the future arrangements, and out of vigilance against the Tong family, Ziren moved all the Tong clansmen in the fort to Tong Jiadun to garrison. Although the Tong family and others were unwilling, they had no choice but to see Ziren's methods to eradicate dissidents and did not dare to disobey. The remaining piers were temporarily abandoned due to lack of manpower.
Han Shiyong and Cui Desheng won the trust of Ziren, so they led the people in the fort to repair the city wall while accompanying Ding Youcai to start measuring the land. At the same time, Wang Mingjian and Tang Yaoshun led people to treat injured horses, and prepared in advance for the formation of a horse team and the construction of a horse farm in the future.
After discussing with Ding Youcai, Ding Shoutie, Wang Xuedao and other generals, in order to be able to share the military tun, several people joined the military registration of Liaodong Town with Ziren under pseudonyms. This move is commonplace at the border gates, even if someone really wants to make a fuss about this matter, with Hao and Yang as their support, Ziren is not afraid of him.
Not long after Hao Jie left, Li Dequan led his troops to say goodbye, and before leaving, because Li Yongfang insisted on staying and following Ziren, he entrusted the Li family's mother and son to Ziren. Ziren looked at Li Dequan's face, and this Li Yongfang still had some martial arts, and he kept him by his side when he was employing people in the castle.
More than half of Ziren's banner family members were killed and wounded, and now there are few people in the fort, and Ziren is worried that it will affect this major event in Tuntian after further expansion. It's just that among the ten-to-fourteen-year-old boys in the castle, twelve people were recruited, led by Lei Tiedan, Cui Xiaoyong, and Li Yongfang, and began to learn how to handle the bird gun. He also selected some shrewd people from among the family members and formed an artillery team headed by Lei Zhenwei.
The next day, Ziren rushed to Liaoyang with Wang Mingqiang, Zhou Daqi, and Ding Shoutie. The first is to turn in the head and ask for merit for the meritorious person. The second is to seek medical treatment for the wounded soldiers in the fort. Third, many family members died in this war and needed to be compensated, and most of their families were in Liaoyang City. In the end, the fort was full of money and needed money, and Ziren hid a lot of heads, ready to resell them to Li Chengcai's family in exchange for some silver and two good purchases of some urgently needed materials in the fort.
As soon as the four of them arrived outside the gate of Liaoyang City, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, and the unashamed Ask Ziren to take out the silver taels to buy the road. After Ziren reported Yang Shaoxun's name, the other party still refused to sell the account, but instead surrounded Ziren and wanted to use force to force Ziren to commit the crime.
