Chapter 271: Xianjietai Temple
The Guangling military village has changed again in just a few days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Everything in front of him made Jiao Yuanpu, who was in the dust, a little unable to believe his eyes.
The tall exterior wall still has traces of charred black and broken, which shows the fierceness of the battle that day.
Where the city wall is damaged, there are people carrying earth and stones and repairing gaps, and there are people in the moat.
In the cold winter, the land froze, and hundreds of sturdy men went down the trench and dug deep ditches.
This kind of hot scene, Jiao Yuanpu has not seen it for a long time.
It's already time for dinner, and every hundred paces, there is a row of hot pots, where several soldiers are in charge, and their task is to distribute ginger soup.
At the gate of the city, hundreds of bags of grain were piled up, and after each person completed a round of work, he could use the "work plan" to replace the grain.
Behind Qingzhuang, there were already their family members waiting, just waiting to replace the rice and grain in the pot.
Jiao Yuanpu sighed, "These are all Guangling people? ”
Wang Teng bowed slightly, "Yes, Jiannu is too cruel and almost slaughtered the young and strong people in the city, if these people didn't flee faster, they would have died."
Jiao Yuanpu frowned, "I heard that Jiannu used the heads of the common people to build the Jingguan?" Is there such a thing? ”
"It's true, just south of Guangling City, there are at least 5,000 people's heads!"
Jiao Yuanpu gritted his teeth, "Haoge child, sooner or later, I will give birth to this thief!" ”
Wang Teng was noncommittal, at this time, the return of the cavalry had already aroused the people's ideas.
These people, who were busy working everywhere, raised their heads and waved to Wang Teng and cheered, and it could be seen that Guanglingjun was very loved here.
Jiao Yuanpu was completely convinced, only such a Guangling army could defeat Jiannu and achieve the result of beheading 2,000 records!
From outside the city to inside the city, the Shitishan military village is in good order, no matter how many people there are, the people follow the corresponding order, and this alone makes Jiao Yuanpu secretly praise.
There is no doubt that Wang Teng's move is to use the method of work for relief, and the people of Guangling who have fled here are cold and hungry, but they can exchange for food by selling coolies, as long as there is food, people's hearts will not be chaotic.
Those soldiers who distributed hot soup and food acted quite fairly, and their existence completely stabilized the order of people's hearts.
As for how much grain there was in the military village, Jiao Yuanpu didn't know, he just glanced at it casually.
However, there are large and small grain bags piled up at every city gate, and at a cursory glance, there are still nearly 1,000 stone of grain!
Wang Teng is worthy of Wang Teng, and with these military rations, it is enough to ensure that the army and Jiannu will be consumed.
When Wang Teng entered the city, he happened to meet a team of people who went out of the city to inspect.
In order to better warn the enemy, the Guangling Army adopted the method of time-sharing patrols.
Every time they set out, they rode up and down, and these horses were dressed in light armor and were in good spirits, and when they saw Wang Tengju, they raised their hands to signal.
When the horsemen had traveled a long way, only the heavy sound of horses' hooves was left constantly pounding on the ground.
With such a strong garrison, the safety of everyone can be ensured.
The fall of Guangling made the nearby township fort understand that it was impossible to block the Jiannu soldiers with their own strength alone, and it was better to enter the military village in advance than to wait until the family was ruined.
For these townships, Wang Teng's requirements are very simple, pay one stone of grain as a tax for every 100 people, as long as the tax is paid, the Guangling Army will be responsible for their safety!
There have been many poll taxes, and Wang Teng's move has not caused objections.
The heroes everywhere simply handed over the silver, and they had already seen the Jingguan outside Guangling City, which was four or five thousand heads!
It is said that Jiannu is barbaric, and after seeing Jingguan, the heroes understand that what they said is true.
If you want to save your property and life, you can only take refuge in Wang Teng and ask him for shelter!
From Ulzhou to Guangling, Jiao Yuanpu was tired and tired, if it wasn't for Wang Teng's timely action, it was very likely that he, the governor, would have confessed.
The literati did not express their gratitude as nakedly as the military generals, Jiao Yuanpu just patted Wang Teng's armor and said: "Today's grace of life, Jiao will remember it in his heart!" ”
Wang Teng shook his head again and again, "My lord's words are wrong, even if it weren't for me, those Jiannu wouldn't be able to hurt you."
Jiao Yuanpu smiled and said: "Okay, I don't need you to comfort me, well, I read your battle report and beheaded two thousand, which is a great victory for thousands, by the way, where is the head?" ”
Wang Teng led the way and led Jiao Yuanpu to a warehouse, where there were all heads made of lime nitrate.
There is no doubt about the identity of Jiannu, even if it has been burned by fireworks, but there is no doubt that the ugly appearance is still Jiannu, what really makes Jiao Yuanpu puzzled is the number of Jiannu, "Wang Shoubei, the number of heads is not two thousand, right?" ”
Wang Teng bowed slightly, "I can't hide it from my lord, I can't hide it, the real head is only a thousand, and in addition, there are two hundred prisoners."
Beheading 1,200 is still a great feat, in Jiao Yuanpu's impression, Wang Teng never falsely reported his exploits, but what happened today?
For the sake of eight hundred heads to deceive the upper and lower levels?
There is no need, if you behead more than a thousand, you can go up to the sky to listen, there is really no need to take risks, Jiao Yuanpu held back the idea of harshness, he wanted to hear Wang Teng's explanation.
Of course, Wang Teng knew Jiao Yuanpu's doubts, he pointed to a few wooden boxes with his fingers, and said with a smile: "My lord, look, the remaining eight hundred Jiannu are all there!" ”
What kind of medicine is sold in this Wang Teng's gourd?
Jiao Yuanpu walked to the front of the wooden box, only to see that it was full of swarthy and indistinguishable bodies.
Some only have their limbs left, some have long braids, and some have no limbs left.
"What's going on?"
"My lord, that night Jiannu burst into the city, I used fire to defeat them, the fire was ruthless, no measure, so they became like this"
Jiao Yuanpu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wang Teng was not lying about his exploits!
This kind of person with a great future really doesn't need to take risks.
"Where are the captives?"
Wang Teng took Jiao Yuanpu to the place where the prisoners were held.
Several days had passed, but the Jiannu captives still had a lingering fear on their faces, as if there were still endless dangers around them.
Jiao Yuanpu has been at the border for a long time, so he naturally has the means to distinguish Jiannu.
It's all real slaves!
It's just that I don't know what means Wang Teng has taken to scare these proud Tartars like this!
Jiao Yuanpu didn't ask, he took the risk to come this time in order to inspect his military exploits.
Now that the first level is true, Jiao Yuanpu is completely relieved, he stamped his seal on the good news presented by Wang Teng, and wrote down his own inquest truthfully, "Come on, report the victory!" ”
"No!"
The reason why Jiao Yuanpu was so eager to inspect the head level was for himself.
A few days ago, there was already a rumor in the DPRK that he was about to depose him, and if the good news could be delivered before the holy decree was issued, maybe the Son of Heaven would change his mind!
Why does Jiao Yuanpu attach so much importance to this good news?
Just because Wang Teng knew and was interested, he put the credit of 500 heads on Jiao Yuanpu in the report, and gave Wei Yuan, the governor of Ulzhou, 300 heads!
With such a credit, it is naturally worth Jiao Yuanpu's adventure!
It turned out that everything was worth it, and Wang Teng did not disappoint Jiao Yuanpu.
Five days later, the 800-mile emergency arrived in the capital.
The first time I heard the good news, the great tomorrow and the cabinet ministers did not believe it at all, not long ago just came the news of Guangling's small victory, at that time, Fei Qing reported the first level of three hundred and fifty, and the military exploits were reliable, but when the military department was rewarding meritorious deeds, soon news came, Guangling fell, Fei Qing of the county was nowhere to be found, and Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, opened a killing ring and built a thousand people to build a Jingguan.
This is a naked slap in the face!
The city is lost, how can the previous good news be counted?
Now, the battle report from Guangling is even more excessive, with 1,800 beheadings and more than 200 prisoners, which is a great victory that has not been achieved for decades.
If it's true, you can even sacrifice to the Taimiao.
Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, frowned, "Everyone, do you think this Guangling victory is true or false?" ”
The officials of the Ministry have always been at odds with Jiao Yuanpu, and said secretly at the moment: "Your Majesty, Wang Teng, the garrison of Ulzhou, has a total of 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if you count Jiao Yuanpu and Wei Yuan, there are only three or four thousand soldiers and horses, if you have such strength, you can behead 2,000, and Jiannu will not be a problem for my Ming Dynasty."
is also said that no matter how much Wang Teng can fight, there are only 2,000 people.
Two thousand to two thousand? It's too unbelievable, when did the officers and soldiers be able to fight like this?
On the contrary, if two thousand Jiannu defeated two thousand Ming troops, this is somewhat possible!
Of course, Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't say these words, otherwise wouldn't it be a big increase in the prestige of Jiannu?
At this time, the official of the Ministry of War said loudly: "Your Majesty, if this good news is sent by someone else, Weichen will definitely ask Your Majesty to treat him for the crime of bullying the king, but Wang Teng is very extraordinary, and he forced Abatai to return in vain, and it must be very possible to defeat Haoge today."
Zhu Youzhen felt that the name Wang Teng was somewhat familiar, "Forcing back Abatai?" ”
Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice, "This person is the person promoted by His Majesty, two years ago, he did the inspection in white, and now the official is a six-rank garrison."
Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized that it was him!
No wonder it feels so familiar!
It turned out that he was still promoted by himself!
With this relationship, Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't make a hasty decision, "Since Zhu Qing thinks that something is wrong, it is better to make a plan after the inquest."
Naturally, everyone agreed, "Your Majesty is wise! ”
After receiving the order of the Son of Heaven, a large number of officials such as the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Jinyi Guard went to Guangling to inspect the results of the battle.
Seven days later, the news came that the head was real!
When the news came out, the whole city was shocked.
The storytellers of the restaurant teahouse danced with their eyebrows, they refused to let go of this rare "material", and used their brains at the moment to vividly tell the victory of Guangling!
In the mouth of the storyteller, the garrison Wang Teng has become a god general with three heads and six arms!
Happy, the Son of Heaven discussed day after day, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to the table to celebrate.
At this time of internal and external troubles, Guangling's victory is too crucial!
Ten days later, 2,000 Jiannu leaders arrived in Beijing under heavy escort.
The people of the Ming Dynasty are completely boiling, in recent years, I have only heard of the construction of slaves and Koubian, burning, killing and looting, how have I ever heard that they have lost so many people and horses?
Under the joy, the Jingshi was empty, and everyone's eyes widened, just to catch a glimpse of the head of Jiannu.
Zhu You, the Son of Heaven, was very happy when he heard it, and immediately came down to order the head of Jiannu to be stacked into a Jingguan in the West City.
Every day, many people from other places come day and night, just to watch the Beijing view of Jiannu.
In the spring of the ninth year of Chongzhen, on the first day of the first month, the emperor sacrificed prisoners to Taimiao and beheaded more than 200 prisoners!
On that day, the capital carnival all night.
Daming ZTE is hopeful!
After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet, had a gloomy face and muttered to himself, "Jiao Yuanpu, do you think Wang Teng can save you?" ”
On the twentieth day of the first month, Zhu Youzhen looked at the Tangbao in Shanxi and frowned, "Abatai broke the five cities of Shanxi in a row? ”
The joy of the victory just now was swept away, and Chongzhen realized that the threat of Jiannu still existed, so he threw down the Tang Bao and walked away.
Wen Tiren just bowed and stood without saying much.
I don't know how long it took, Chongzhen made a decision, "Datong Governor Jiao Yuan lost the city and lost the land, the crime is unforgivable, although there is a great victory in Guangling, he still can't hide his guilt, read his hard work, dismiss the official and go to work, and no longer hold him accountable!" What does Wen Aiqing think? ”
Wen Tiren naturally agreed, "Your Majesty's grace and power are really a perfect plan, but now that Jiannu is still there, someone must be stationed in Datong."
"Who does Wen Aiqing think can be the governor of Datong?"
"Henan according to the judge Ye Tinggui is loyal to his duties, can be the governor of Datong"
"Ye Tinggui, it's okay, just follow what Aiqing said, it's just that Jiannu is rampant and has to be guarded against, Aiqing has a good plan?"
"Supervisor Lu Xiangsheng encircled and suppressed the Liukou, and has not yet turned around, and now there are not many soldiers in Shanxi, but Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, fought bravely, and he also made military exploits last year, so why not send troops to help Wang Teng this time?"
Chongzhen bowed slightly, Wang Teng had just won the battle, and there must be no more mistakes, otherwise, the Ming court would become a laughing stock, but Haoge had someone to deal with, so what about Abatai?
"Wang Pu has only 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command, if he leaves, who will deal with Abatai?"
"Shaanxi Governor Wu Fu can be the governor of Shanxi, this person can be civil and martial, and he will definitely make Abatai have nothing to do"
This time, Chongzhen didn't reply quickly, after all, it was a matter of the two places, if it was all up to Wen Tiren's words, wouldn't he, the emperor, become an ornament?
"This matter will be discussed later"
Wen Tiren didn't ask much.
"Aiqing thinks that how long will it take for Jiannu to withdraw from the army?"
"Wechen heard that Ulzhou has been fortified and cleared many times, as long as there is not much grain and straw for the slaves, and the follow-up is weak, most of them will return in vain."
"I heard that this is Wang Teng's plan, right?"
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, Wang Teng is a rare talent, over the past few years, he has won more than 2,000 Jiannu heads, this person should be rewarded!"
Wen Tiren has always been based on observing words and feelings, and he can see that Chongzhen loves Wang Teng very much, since this is the case, it is better to be a favor and pull Wang Teng.
If we meet in the future, Wang Teng owes him a personal favor!
Speaking of Wang Teng, Chongzhen really laughed, "Wang Teng has such military exploits at such an age, how can he be rewarded?" ”
The reward is indeed a technical job, the reward is light, the heart is cold, the reward is heavy, and I am afraid that people will not accept it. (To be continued.) )
