Chapter 338: Triumph
After deciding that nothing could be done, Azig did not dare to delay for a minute, and he gave the order to withdraw his troops in the shortest possible time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whether it is the Guangling army or the captured border people, facing one of them alone, no matter how bad the situation is, Azig is sure to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory.
However, once the Guangling army fought side by side with the captured border people, the possibility of the Qing army turning the tables no longer existed.
Run, run as far away as possible, this time, Azig is planted!
The strength of Jiannu still exists, the cavalry of the Guangling army is scarce, after a siege and suppression, Wang Teng reined in the various departments, and it is strictly forbidden to pursue and suppress privately, as the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, the Guangling army can win more with less, which is completely the result of the accumulation of various factors, if you offend the pursuit, it is very likely to encounter Azig's counterattack.
It's not easy to get such a result, and there's really no need to take any more risks.
Wang Teng does not have much capital and is unwilling to take risks easily.
An hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the Guangling army killed 5,328 Jiannu at the cost of 1,200 killed and lost, including 130 horse armor and 320 white armor.
Although Azig successfully escaped, after this battle, the strength of Zhengbai Banner was greatly damaged, and the people, money and goods they had worked so hard to loot were lost, and all fell into the hands of Wang Teng.
Based on the cash alone, there are 80,000 taels of silver on the scene, hundreds of catties of gold, plus 4,000 war horses, 1,000 mules and horses, 2,000 cattle and sheep, and 5,000 stones of grain, Wang Teng's harvest this time is about 200,000 taels!
This is a big victory that the Ming Dynasty has never had since the Qing Dynasty.
When the news came out, the world shook, and even Zhu Youzhen in the capital couldn't help but look sideways, he secretly rejoiced, fortunately he promoted Wang Teng exceptionally, otherwise, who could achieve such a hearty victory for him?
Reward, there must be a reward!
Zhu Youzhen made up his mind, no matter who he was this time, he couldn't stop him from rewarding Wang Teng!
First defeated Abatai, then defeated Azig, fought for hundreds of miles, and never lost a single defeat, if such a general could not be rewarded, who should be rewarded?
The undercurrent in the capital was surging, and the whole Ming Dynasty was restless all night because of Wang Teng alone.
As we all know, Wang Teng is a close confidant of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Lu Xiangsheng does not belong to any faction.
Once Wang Teng is on the rise, it will inevitably squeeze the growth space of the rest.
The official position and authority are always limited, and the more Wang Teng gets, the rest of the people will inevitably decrease.
When Zhu Youzhen was jubilant, many people had already regarded Wang Teng as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
The Ming Dynasty must not have another family of generals, and the young Wang Teng is likely to change this convention.
In the Ming officialdom, the military generals of Wenchen rarely reached a tacit understanding: suppress Wang Teng and suppress Lu Xiangsheng!
The undercurrent of the capital is surging, but the Shitishan military village left by Wang Teng is under the control of Song Xiance, and the scale of the gold mine is secretly expanding, and the miners who sold themselves into slavery are extremely efficient under the supervision of Lu Dashan's father and son.
At first, there were miners who tried to escape with the gold mines, but it didn't take long for the bodies of the greedy miners to be hung on the top of the hill and exposed to the sun for three days.
On the one hand, there are harsh punishments, and on the other hand, there are rich rewards, and under the means of turnips and sticks, the miners have to rein in their undeserved thoughts, work hard in peace, and earn money.
There are no impermeable walls in the world, and the news of gold mining in Shitishan soon spread.
Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are ready to move, and the money is moving, if you can take the gold mine for yourself, wouldn't it be a fortune?
No one knew that Wang Teng had already dedicated the gold mine here to today, and he deliberately kept it a secret, in order to let the young people jump out and offer ugliness!
After Wang Teng left, Ma Wu, who was promoted to the lieutenant of Guangling County, devoted more than half of his attention to Shiti Mountain, and the well-trained townspeople, plus Wang Teng's left-behind men and horses in the military village, were almost more than 1,000 people.
More than 1,000 veterans can face almost six times more enemies when they occupy a favorable position.
There is enough water for rice millet in the village, which can ensure the use of thousands of people and horses for three months.
Before Wang Teng went north, all the wounded soldiers in the general were left in the military village, and the monthly salary was distributed as usual, which solved the worries of the wounded soldiers, bought the hearts of the people, and solved the problem of insufficient manpower in the Shitishan military village.
You must know that according to the usual practice, once a soldier is injured, he will face the situation of being abandoned, and the government will at most issue a small pitiful pension, and after a few cuts of silver money to the wounded soldier, I don't know how much will be left.
A coach like Wang Teng has rarely had such a generous boss since ancient times, so the wounded soldiers and veterans who were lucky enough to stay in the military village were very attentive, and they felt that this monthly salary was not easy to come by, whether it was patrolling the sentry or training new soldiers, they would do their best.
There are old soldiers in the heart, Song Xiance is in charge of the overall situation, there is a county lieutenant Ma Wu from the side, Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng is the backer, for several months, the wealthy families in Shanxi did not get half a penny, they couldn't bear it, and finally gave up the upright means, but wanted to use some tricks to force the people of the military village to comply.
However, Song Xiance is not an idle person, not to mention the county lieutenant Ma Wu, the more than 1,000 veterans in the military village alone will not let people succeed easily.
I thought that Wang Teng was gone, and it wouldn't take long for him to easily divide up and occupy the huge piece of property he left behind, but who knows, after a few months, the wealthy families have broken their hearts, but they haven't taken advantage of it at all.
At this time, the wealthy families bet their hopes on Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin.
As the most prominent nobleman in Shanxi, the King of Jin has a reason to overwhelm Wang Teng.
But who knew that King Jin also had his own troubles?
Zhu Xianxuan Chongzhen was named the son of Jin in August of the third year, Chongzhen was enthroned in eight years, and now he has succeeded to the throne for only one year.
Wang Teng didn't have as many troubles as King Jin, and the people and horses under his command snowballed bigger and bigger in the process of going south.
Due to natural and man-made disasters, the people's power has been completely squeezed, and the people have no choice but to abandon their homes and businesses and become displaced refugees.
For these homeless people, Wang Teng did not accept them all, but selected some people with skills and included them in the artisan camp, and did not recruit superfluous burdens.
After all, Wang Teng's financial resources are limited, and it is impossible for him to cover all the displaced people along the way and go north, in that case, his baggage may not be able to support it for three or five days.
You know, the number of displaced people along the route can be hundreds of thousands.
Being able to take care of the three or five thousand villagers as much as possible is already the biggest limit.
In this way, stop and go, along the way, no more open-eyed thieves dared to come to disturb him, but it made Huanghu's big axe hungry and thirsty for a while.
It's no wonder that Wang Teng's name is too loud, and defeating Abatai can only be said to be a fluke, but defeating Azig is completely a bolt from the blue.
Who is Azig?
Surrendered the Ming Dynasty general army nest Pichang, won more than 40 games in a row, the front of the army until the capital, the world was shaken, but it is such a hero, in the end it is not defeated?
Wouldn't it be greasy to go against such a general who can be called Jiannu's nemesis?
Without the nuisance of thieves, Wang Teng soon returned to Shanxi.
In October of the ninth year of Chongzhen, because of the robbery of the Azig army, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, committed suicide in fear of crime, and the Son of Heaven decided to reinstate Yang Sichang, so he issued an order to seize the favor and ordered Yang Sichang to take over as the secretary of the military department. Yang Sichang resigned, but Emperor Chongzhen did not allow it.
In November of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Guangling army trekked hundreds of miles and entered Datong Mansion.
There are still two hundred miles away from Guangling, Wang Teng decided to take a little rest, handed over the customs documents to the defenders, and the team went straight to Leping City.
According to the usual practice, at this time, a former army colonel had already rushed to Leping City to fight an outpost for the army.
Wang Teng is not big or small, he is also a general of Shanxi Pingyuwei, a military general of the second grade, who controls thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and now leads the army to victory.
Once the officials of Leping got the news, they should go at least ten miles out of the city to greet them as a sign of respect.
Zhou Yuji believes that Wang Teng's great victory over Jiannu and his great contribution to the country, the officials should at least welcome nineteen miles, so that the Guangling Army's achievements can be extraordinary.
Huang Hu only has one tendon, he admits death, and thinks that the defenders of the terrible city will at most be ten miles away to greet him.
The two rammed goods were noisy in their ears, and they had the heart to scold them, but Wang Teng also knew that Zhou Yuji and Huang Hu had been bitter along the way.
Since there was no nuisance from thieves, the two of them had nowhere to vent their strength, and Wang Teng strictly forbade them to hunt prey wantonly, and the two who were about to get sick had to pass the time by bickering.
Just when Zhou Yuji and Huang Hu were fighting to a good place, a fast horse suddenly rushed in the distance.
Behind the knight on the horse is a pennant, which means the Tsing Yi Colonel who is responsible for military intelligence investigation and transmission.
Hearing the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves, Zhou Yuji and Huang Hu involuntarily closed their mouths, and they guessed that it was probably Leping City that came with news.
Sure enough, when the knight galloped to him, he only heard the knight shout: "Report, general, the general of Leping City is sick, and only the lieutenant general and a cadre of generals are outside the city to greet the driver." ”
Wang Teng's eyelids jumped sharply, but his face did not change, but Zhou Yuji jumped up, just now he boasted that he thought that the guard would go out twenty miles out of the city to greet him, and now the guard general was unexpectedly sick!
Damn, don't get sick sooner, don't report it later, but wait until Wang Teng's army arrives, is this unclear is to give Wang Teng eye medicine?
"**** old mother, the guards of Leping City are too hateful, no, I will go to the city to see if he is really sick or fake, if it is fake, I can't beat him to the real one!"
After that, Zhou Yu Jimo shook his fists, and he was about to hit the horse forward.
"Come back!"
Wang Teng shouted violently, called down Zhou Yuji, who was eager to try, and he said in a low voice: "I'm just passing by here, it's not easy to swagger through the market, since the guard is sick, then let him go, if you go to the door to ask for guilt so excitedly, wouldn't it seem that I'm too stingy?" ”
Zhou Yuji scolded and shouted a few words, and finally stopped talking.
However, Huang Hu also felt that the fire was surging upward, and he couldn't hold it back, although the deputy general had already gone out of the city to greet him, but such an attitude still made Huang Hu feel a huge insult.
When did the dignified Pingyu Guard General fall to the point of being looked down upon by a small guard?
In other words, the Leping City Guards looked down on Wang Teng, wouldn't they not be able to see him Zhou Yuji and look down on these thousands of Guangling elites.
This is really unbearable!
"No, my lord, after entering the city, you have to let me vent my bad anger, otherwise I will have to suffocate to death!"
Wang Teng glared at Zhou Yuji angrily, and said: "Shut up, remember it all for me, without my orders, no one can make trouble wantonly, well, you don't have to worry, since someone wants to give me a horse, then there must be a back-up move, I have no interest in small fish and shrimp, what I want is to put a long line to catch big fish, do you know?" ”
Speaking of which, Huang Hu and Zhou Yuji suddenly realized that this was the case......
Tens of thousands of people were saved from Jiannu, they consumed too much grain, and Wang Teng's grain was enough to eat, but after adding tens of thousands of mouths, grain has become a big problem.
If it weren't for the fact that they were always able to get some rice millet from the neighboring counties along the way, the men and horses under Wang Teng's command would have run out of food.
I thought that when I arrived in Shanxi, it would be easy to get rice millet supplies, but it seems that the local land snake didn't plan to buy it at all, and some people even sobbed, wanting to give Wang Teng a dismount.
You know, Wang Teng's current status is counted in the whole Shanxi, according to the convention, but if the grade is lower than the second grade, the military general must go out of the city to greet him, in order to show respect, but now this little Leping City guard, the guy about the sixth grade, even dares to call himself sick, if there is no one behind him, Wang Teng will not believe anything.
Before coming, Wang Teng had already made up his mind, if Leping's local officials cooperated, then everyone would be safe, and they would be promoted and made a fortune together.
Now, it is the critical moment for the imperial court to reward meritorious deeds, if Wang Teng can't even understand a small Leping City, the officials of the imperial court will definitely look down on him!
Wang Teng understood that the reason why the guards of Leping City could not get out of trouble was that there was no temptation in it, and he wanted to test Wang Teng's temperament through this incident.
In a sense, what Wang Teng did today will become an important yardstick for Shanxi generals to measure Wang Teng's character.
Is it to endure humiliation and retreat, or to take advantage of the situation?
In this regard, Wang Teng scoffed, he is no longer a fledgling Jiupin inspection, now he is strong and strong, what he wants, just use naked force to occupy it.
In the face of absolutely superior strength, any conspiracy is a joke.
Wang Teng's attitude was calm and did not show much anger, but the generals under his command were furious, and the Leping army showed that he did not take the army in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
