Chapter 136: Inquest
How to distinguish the authenticity of the head of Jiannu?
For a long time, Daming has had a set of effective means of identification.
First, the stubble, the slaves are all money rat tails, they shaved part of their hair when they were young, if someone tries to confuse the real with the fake, they will do things from the hair, but the new and old stubble can be known by touching, it is difficult to get through the test; Second, the teeth, Jiannu has been eating meat for a long time, and the teeth are seriously worn out, and the smell is extremely fishy, which the Han people can't compare with in any way; Third, the head is thrown into the water, with the man facing up and the woman facing down.
Ye Tinggui looked at three heads in a row and didn't find anything wrong, "Come on, check carefully."
"No!"
Looking at the heads with different expressions in the wooden box, Ye Tinggui's expression was very rich, and he realized that he still underestimated Wang Teng.
I thought that Dinghe Fort could have dozens of real Tartar heads, but I didn't expect that every fake slave would be found until now!
Could it be that the feats of Dinghe Fort are all true?
How can it be!
In the 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, few military generals have truthfully reported their military exploits.
This time, after hearing the villagers' evaluation of Wang Teng, Ye Tinggui obviously had a bit of accommodation, as long as he could get by on face, Ye Tinggui would not be so serious.
However, Wang Teng is not interested!
When Ye Tinggui inspected, Wang Teng was motionless and calm, which aroused Ye Tinggui's annoyance, "There are so many heads, there must be people who are confused!" ”
The words in his heart couldn't be spoken, but this didn't delay Ye Tinggui's salary, he had already made up his mind to slap Wang Teng's face with the ironclad facts.
However, after the guards started, they took a deep breath, and all of them were real slave heads!
Ye Tinggui has been in charge of the war for many years and can be said to be well-informed, however, he is still a little excited at this moment.
After a long time, the guards finished the inspection, "My lord, the heads are all real slaves, and none of them are fake!" ”
"But ninety?"
"My lord, it's ninety-one."
"Why is there an extra one?"
Wang Teng smiled slightly, "I want to stay in the fort for the rest of the pill, so that everyone can wake up at all times, this time Jiannu suffered a big loss, and will definitely make a comeback next year, if you can't take precautions, maybe you won't even have the strength to fight back next year."
"Didn't you defeat Jiannu? Are you still afraid of them? ”
"My lord, Jiannu has suffered a big loss, and next year there will be a large army to suppress the border, and I only have two hundred soldiers in this military fort, how can I be its opponent?"
Ye Tinggui pointed to the head of Jiannu, and said: "Don't worry, with these heads, the imperial court will definitely reward you."
"This is all the credit of Lord Jiao and Lord Ye, if you didn't sit in the center, Jiannu would have already succeeded, how could I have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions?"
Ye Tinggui glanced at Wang Teng and was very satisfied.
The Ming Dynasty did not lack warriors who could fight well, but what they lacked was a victorious general who knew how to protect themselves.
Take this batch of heads as an example, although it was Wang Teng who won it, but from the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou to Wei Yuan, who was sentenced to Ulzhou, would share the credit, which was the practice of the imperial court.
Wang Teng has not grown to the point where he can change his habits, so he can only follow the rules and endure silently.
Fortunately, there are pros and cons to sharing the profits, at least, through the merits, Wang Teng tied everyone together and became his temporary guardian of interests.
After washing his hands, Ye Tinggui finally showed a smile, "Let's go, you're done, it's time to fill your stomach."
"No!"
Unconsciously, Wang Teng had occupied an important position in Ye Tinggui's heart.
Sometimes, trust is as simple as that.
After entering the main hall and taking their seats, Ye Tinggui said, "Can you tell me the details of this murder?" ”
Wang Teng didn't refuse, he knew that Ye Tinggui was just curious, and he didn't have too much thought, "At the beginning, a team of Jiannu scouts met my soldiers and horses, Huang Degong was not afraid of danger, and he was stunned to lead Jiannu to the city, and I dug a big pit outside the fort in advance, which came in handy this time."
Ye Tinggui was greatly moved, "But Huang Degong, who captured Jiannu Jia Lazhangjing?" ”
"Not bad"
"There is such a fierce general in the world, call him quickly"
Suddenly, Huang Degong came according to the order.
Ye Tinggui was in a very good mood and constantly praised Huang Degong.
Huang Degong glanced at Ye Tinggui, this adult is an envoy of Shanxi, and his status is only under Hong Chengchou and Jiao Yuanpu, such a big man has a kind face at this time, and he is used to seeing the white eyes of generals everywhere, Huang Degong was greatly surprised, he only felt that he was full of energy!
Follow the king to inspect, and there is no doubt about meritorious injury!
Huang Hu, Tong Cheng and others also feel honored.
"I will escort this batch of heads to Datong, Wang Inspector, do you have any objections?"
"There is no objection from the lower officials"
Xu was afraid that the generals around him would think too much, and Ye Tinggui explained again: "Wang Teng, you just have to rest assured, as long as I am here, absolutely no one will dare to covet your military exploits."
Wang Teng thanked him again, "There is Lord Lao."
This time, Ye Tinggui came on horseback, and now he needs to take away the head, so he naturally needs a carriage, otherwise, ninety heads will be a huge burden anyway.
Ye Tinggui returned to his heart like an arrow, and after a hurried lunch in Dinghe Fort, he left again with his men and horses.
In order to ensure the safe period, Wang Tengjia sent ten cavalry, which Ye Tinggui did not refuse.
By the time Guangling Qianhu Yi Ying heard the news, Ye Tinggui had already left with his people.
In Datong Mansion, the governor Jiao Yuanpu was very impatient, and the eunuch who guarded the town actually came to inquire about the war exploits, which gave him a bad idea.
Because of Cui Wensheng's incident, Jiao Yuanpu has completely offended the eunuchs in the harem, and now, although there are other eunuchs in Datong Mansion, Jiao Yuanpu knows that the other party is not a good person.
"Why did Ye Tinggui go for so long?"
Speak of the devil!
When Jiao Yuanpu was in a hurry, suddenly a military academy hurriedly came to report, "Master Ye is here."
"Hurry up, please!"
"Lord Ye escorted more than 300 heads, and the horses were all Jiannu heads"
Jiao Yuanpu was overjoyed, "Lord Ye is doing things safely, and with the first level, this report is much easier to write."
Before the words fell, Jiao Yuanpu came to the outside of the house, and in front of the door, there were five carriages and horses full of heads.
"Lord Ye, hard work!"
Ye Tinggui bowed his hand slightly, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored."
Jiao Yuanpu couldn't wait to pick up a head, and exclaimed again and again, "True slave head, haha, how many are there?" ”
"300 in Ulju, 15 in the rest of the state capitals"
Ye Tinggui took a breath of cold air, "Who is the prefect of Ulzhou?" ”
"Bai Eunyuan"
"This person knows a lot about military affairs?"
"On the contrary, it is said that this person is timid and afraid of death, and this Ulzhou is guarded by Wei Yuan and Zhu Jixun"
