Chapter Fifty-Six: Rise to Fame
"Mr. Han," Xiong Tingbi looked at Han Xu deeply, and said solemnly: "This time you have been beheaded dozens of levels, and there are only fifty people in the department, which is enough to make you promoted several times, this scripture will do things according to the rules, and the promotion reward for you and your subordinates will definitely be done as soon as possible, and the reward will be issued after returning to Shenyang, so you can rest assured." ※%Top※%Dot※%Small※%Say,"
As an old bear-headed strategist, he made such a promise in person, and if everyone's official positions and silver rewards were already in their bodies, everyone cheered and shouted at the moment.
Han Xu was also very happy in his heart, and he also faintly felt a little uncontrollable pride, after all, he was still a young man, no matter how tenacious his heart was, he couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face at this time.
Seeing him like this, Xiong Tingbi, Liu Zirui and the others all stroked their beards and smiled.
The beheading of the Ming army is the first, and it is divided into two kinds: individual and military attaché, looking at the number of soldiers and horses and beheadings to count the merits, Han Xu this time with fifty cavalry to cut off more heads than his subordinates, can be regarded as several levels of great merit, enough for him to rise up like a rocket.
Of course, Fushun Pass can't go anymore, Xiong Tingbi is just showing his prestige and boosting the morale of the people in Liaodong, not really going to take risks, but originally going to be dangerous, and going to Fushun Pass unexpectedly, I don't think Dongyu will know, and I can't react, suddenly attacked, Xiong Tingbi and others feel that there must be something strange in it.
"Lord Jinglu, when we were beheaded today, we noticed something very strange."
In front of everyone's eyes, Yang Guoyong came over with Wang Dayong's head, and Han Xu said in a deep voice: "I didn't pay attention to the Shicai battle array, but when I beheaded it, I found the head of the body of Wang Dayong, the head of my Xinyong Battalion, and found a secret letter in his arms. ”
As Han Xu spoke, he handed over Wang Dayong's head and the letter together.
This head, Yang Guoyong secretly collected, soaked in blood, and deliberately stepped on it, although it has been cut off for a long time, now this appearance is not unusual, the letter is genuine, Wang Wending's uncle and nephew originally stepped on many boats, and secretly traded with Dongyu, correspondence, in Wang Wending's opinion, he said some polite words, leaving some room for regression in the future, in Xiong Tingbi's view, it is undoubtedly fornicating with Dongyu, betraying the Ming Dynasty!
"Damn it, I'll kill it!"
Xiong Tingbi's face was blue, he originally planned to take Wang Wending to the knife, but Wang Wending slipped and didn't leave his hand, Tieling's defeat and escape was very well covered, Xiong Tingbi was still looking for his loopholes, and he didn't succeed for a while, this time there is this letter and Wang Dayong's head, this person is in a catastrophe!
"Han Xu, don't take credit for this matter."
Xiong Tingbi is a civil official, a member of the imperial court, arresting or killing Wang Wending is a trivial matter for him, for Han Xu, a small military attache in Liao Town, Wang Wending's matter may make it difficult for him to gain a foothold in Liao Town, originally because of Li Pinghu's incident, Han Xu has been criticized by everyone in Liao Town, and if there is Wang Wending's matter, Han Xu will become the target of public criticism.
"Lord Jingluo is so compassionate, and the lower officials are very grateful." Han Xu didn't act as a good man at this time, originally this pot was to be carried by Lao Xiong, he just accepted Wang Dayong's head, originally waiting for the right time, today's big battle, taking advantage of the chaos is the most suitable, Xiong Tingbi can take the initiative to hide his credit, that is the best.
This matter is not only the perception within Liaozhen, but also the hatred of the big families in Liaoshen and even Liaoxi, Xiong Tingbi can be regarded as carrying it down for Han Xu together.
……
A few days later, Han Xu and He Shixian and others escorted Xiong Tingbi back to Shenyang, less than ten days, the battle of Dongzhou Fort was spread all over Liao, Donglu since the last time he was ambushed, and suffered such a big loss, this time Xiong Tingbi attaches great importance to it, after all, the beheading has been nearly 100 levels, it is a victory worth boasting about, Jingluo station sent flying horses, starry night to the direction of the Beijing Division, I believe that since the battle of Salhu, this victory is enough to make the Beijing Division raise their eyebrows, Xiong Tingbi through Liaodong for only a few months, In addition to reinvigorating the morale of the army and the people, there have been two consecutive beheadings, adding up to more than 100 levels, the Dongyu turtle can not shrink, the defense line has been greatly reduced, the original arrogance has been greatly reduced, after the Fushun Pass, the morale of the people in Shenyang and Liaoyang has finally recovered, a large number of guest soldiers have rushed to Shanhaiguan to enter the territory of Liaodong Dusi, and some will lead to Liaoyang to meet the strategy, the Ming army not only morale revival, strength also began to slowly rise, all of which made Xiong Tingbi's prestige in Liaodong rise sharply.
Along with Xiong Tingbi, the one who was noticed and affirmed by everyone was, of course, Han Xu.
According to the official statement, Han Xu is the Kaiyuan guard, in the slaughter of the invasion of the Eastern Captives, the relatives are gone, Han Xu escaped alone, as a small army into the new Yong battalion, at first as a small soldier, and then for the night not to accept the army chief, meritorious service for the general of a hundred households, this time after the victory of Fushun Pass, Xiong Tingbi for the first time for Han Xu to report to the imperial court, since the last ambush, Han Xu's reputation was first famous in Liao Town, after this time, I think it has entered the court's field of vision, in the hearts of the princes of the court, the list of Ming fierce generals, there will definitely be a Han Xu.
……
"Everyone who has a small family is given five days off, and those who have no family are given three days to their family, everyone can walk around and have fun at will, only one, no troubles and fights, no gambling money, violators will be severely punished by our military law!"
In a blink of an eye, it is almost the Spring Festival, this festival was originally the first day, and more and more attention was paid to it in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the customs of Liaodong are similar to the Spring Festival customs of later generations in Han Xu's memory, but they are more grand, and more attention is paid to etiquette.
He didn't have a small home in this era, and he didn't settle down at all, Daxingdun was cleaned up very well here, and he didn't plan to fight again years ago, Han Xu instructed Li Chun and Lu Wangcai to build a batch of living utensils, wardrobes and beds were newly built, and the tables and chairs were complete, Han Xu himself stayed in the dunfort for the New Year, and prepared to set off in the second half of the night to pay New Year's greetings to the Shangguan of Liaoyang and Fengji Fort, although he is still only the general, but he will definitely be promoted after the year, these things in the officialdom are already indispensable, although Han Xu is a maverick in Liaozhen, It doesn't mean he can ignore these daily rituals.
When Han Xu spoke, more than thirty people were smiling, rich and noble can not return to their hometowns and wait for the brocade to travel at night, most of these people still have a small family, last time they robbed such a note, Han Xu rewarded each of them with dozens of taels of silver, these were slowly sent home, this time there was a beheading work, the reward was also issued, everyone got a large number of dozens of taels of silver, among which quite a lot of people will be rewarded for official promotions, each of them worked hard for several months, and fought desperately, of course, they are all looking forward to going home to boast, and get the admiration and admiration of their relatives and clans, Of course, you can also take a few days off and enjoy it during the New Year.
When Han Xu announced the discipline, he paid special attention to everyone's expressions, only Yang Guoyong and the He family brothers and others listened attentively, Yan Song and Ren Shangwu also nodded in response, and about half of them were not careful, and they didn't take it to heart.
Han Xu sighed secretly in his heart, these people in front of him are not afraid of hardships and wars, how to maintain their military discipline, don't be blackened by the big dye vat of Liaozhen, this is what worries him the most.
