In order to meet the needs of the border army, the emperor could only raise grain by means of levying Liao, however, for the border army, Liao's salary was also a drop in the bucket.

The entire Ming Dynasty has fallen into a vicious circle: without increasing taxes, the border army will have no combat effectiveness, and the safety of the people will not be guaranteed......

If it was in the peaceful years, the Liao salary of 'nine cents' of silver per mu was not much, but in the seven years of Chongzhen, natural disasters continued, and the people had no harvest, and the Liao salary of ten catties of rice per mu of land was enough to make the family ruined.

If everyone is well fed and fed, who will rebel?

However, for Wang Teng, no matter how noble the reason for rebellion is, it cannot cover up their evil behavior of "beating, smashing, and robbing".

Since then, Wang Teng has seen too many human tragedies, and sometimes, the brutal methods of the rogues even surpassed those of the Houjin army, which completely reversed Wang Teng's sympathetic view of the peasant army.

Kill the rogue!

Jurchen damn it!

Daming, Wansheng!

In Dinghe Fort, Xiang Yong was very happy.

In order to celebrate the victory, Wang Teng specially made people slaughter pigs and sheep, and everyone was able to have a full meal.

Whether it was the townspeople or the people, they all showed a smile from the bottom of their hearts.

Today, Wang Teng has used his record to show that the Jurchens are not invincible!

Only one of the thirteen Tartars escaped, this is a good news that has not been heard of for several years, and it can be imagined that once it spreads, it will improve the morale of the Ming Dynasty's army!

However, not everyone is optimistic.

Yi Ying of Guangling County was worried after hearing the battle report, "Tartars have always been vicious, and today Wang Teng has the upper hand, I am afraid that he will be burned."

Zhang Wang thought so, "What Qianhu said is extremely true, the Tartars will be repaid, and most of Dinghe Fort will not be able to be saved, so we have to take precautions."

Yi Ying frowned, "Pass the order down and strengthen your vigilance."

"Order"

People inside and outside Guangling County were panicked, and no one knew how many Tartars would come with anger this time.

In Dinghe Fort, the yellow tiger looked happy and strode over.

"How, did he recruit it?"

Huang Hu disdainfully: "Fortunately, this bastard scolded at the beginning and refused to confess, so I used a sharp blade to make a big hole in his leg, and found some sea salt to sprinkle on it, haha, this guy is recruited!" ”

"What's the situation?"

Speaking of intelligence, Huang Hu's expression became gloomy again: "The leader of this team of horses is named Da Chun, the guy I cut off his head, above Da Chun is Jia Lazhang Jing Wuda, this person led 1,500 people to loot the Ulzhou Mansion, he is murderous and cruel, if he hears the news of Da Chun's death, he will definitely not give up!" ”

Wang Teng frowned, "How many people can Wuda pull out?" ”

"The task of the Tartars is to plunder the goods, and Ulju is not to be defeated, and Uda can draw at most 800 people"

Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief, eight hundred Tartars, it sounds like a lot, but if it is really used to attack the city, it is obviously not enough.

You must know that the fortifications of Dinghe Fort were built by Wang Teng, and even if you face a thousand enemies, it will not be a problem.

At this time, the Jurchens had a single means of siege, and as long as they held the military fort, it was probably difficult for them to succeed.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng couldn't help but ask: "Where did Abatai go?" ”

"This man also knows nothing"

"Dachun and his party have suffered heavy losses, I think Wuda must not dare to spread the news, he is afraid that he will become a laughing stock, so at present, our enemy is the 1,500 men and horses that Wuda may have"

Eight times the enemy, if it was a year ago, Huang Hu and Huang Degong would never have any idea of resisting and winning, however, after staying by Wang Teng's side for a long time, they are used to seeing too many unbelievable things, and they even feel that their own people have a great possibility to hold out to the end.

Wang Teng's whimsy has proven to be effective, a single pit has booby-trapped the Tartars' most elite horse exploration team, and what about the rest of the defense? Maybe the results will be even more brilliant!

However, at this time, Wang Teng's biggest problem was the lack of troops.

Huang Degong was a little worried, "My lord, our troops are still too small."

Wang Teng thought so, "After the Tartars leave, I will recruit troops again."

Huang Degong felt that Wang Teng did not understand what he meant, "There are many Tatars, and if the brothers can't get rest, I'm afraid that something bad will happen."

Wang Teng had already planned, "It doesn't matter, if the Tartars come, there will be four or five hundred young men in the fort, and then let them go into battle."

There are also considerations in this regard for the villagers to enter the fort, and Huang Degong was completely convinced, "My lord is far-sighted, and the officials admire it!" ”

Wang Teng smiled, "The silver is ready, I want to reward you before the war, what do you think?" ”

Whether it's Huang Degong or Huang Hu, they all think it's a good idea.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Tartars did not come, they tried to enhance the morale of their own troops as much as possible, which was a precaution.

"Knock knock", the three-way drum sounded, one hundred and forty villagers stood in a neat queue in the school field, and the remaining sixty villagers were guarding the military fort, not daring to be careless.

The huge banner of the word "king" fluttered in the wind.

Turning over and dismounting neatly, Wang Teng came to the point of command, he looked ahead, and was very satisfied with the spirit of the soldiers.

I still remember a few months ago, when Xiang Yong first arrived, most of them were gloomy, but now, after some training, the soldiers have a new look.

This is my soldier! This is my Wang Teng's capital!

The audience was silent, everyone knew that military law was strict, and Inspector Wang hated whispering under his command the most.

Seeing that the salary is about to be paid, no one wants to make extraneous branches at this time.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Teng grinned and said, "Do you know what day it is?" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, not daring to answer.

Wang Teng didn't care, he said to himself: "Today is the day to reward meritorious deeds!" ”

The meat play came, and when I heard the words of rewarding meritorious deeds, there was a noise in the array of soldiers.

In the end, all the words converged into one sentence: "Patrol mighty!" ”

"Haha, I, Wang Teng, do what he says, come on, bring the money, grain, rice and millet prepared!"

For this day, Wang Teng has spent a lot of twists and turns, after all, if there is dissatisfaction due to the unfairness of the silver reward, it will outweigh the losses.

Not long after, Liu Tian sent people to carry piles of cloth bags.

Needless to say, the inside of the cloth bag must be copper coins.

The soldiers in the audience all widened their eyes, and they all said that Wang Patrol was very bold, but they didn't know how much his reward was.
