There are two criteria for rewarding military exploits in the Ming Dynasty, one is battlefield performance, and the other is to win the first rank. At the beginning of the founding of the country, www.biquge.info paid equal attention to the two, and later paid more attention to the first merit, Tang Yi dared to say that it was definitely those civilian officials who were responsible for military merit who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not dare to rush forward, so they had to hide in the back and count their heads.

Obviously, it is very unfair to judge merit simply by the head, one person works desperately, loses half a life, kills the opponent, and the other picks up the omission and gets a head, but when the merit is rewarded, it is the same, how can people be convinced?

Therefore, when Tang Yi formulated the reward method, he allocated 500,000 mu of land to reward the warriors who took the lead in the charge, as well as the generals who commanded properly and captured the flag. Combined, about 800,000 acres of land and about 1 million acres of grassland will be taken out.

Someone is about to ask, Tang Yi and Jin negotiated more than that, there are so many fields, why don't they reward the soldiers?

Is Tang Yi going to put it in his pocket?

Our Tang Dage Lao will not be so tasteless, in fact, it is a very eye-catching thing to give a large share of land to meritorious soldiers, if you can't appease all parties, you can ensure that someone jumps out and scolds.

If you eat meat, you have to give it to someone else.

Among the remaining fields, 500,000 acres were assigned to the name of the palace and became the imperial village, and 200,000 acres were given to the heads of the inner court Zhu Jue and Jinyiwei.

Although Tang Yi has great power in his hands and the saint is prosperous, he can not care about those eunuchs, but what he plans is too big, and now is the time when the overall situation has just been rolled out, how can he be disturbed by some inconsequential things.

What's more, pulling all parties in, sharing the dividends of the war, and making money for everyone to earn together, this is the king.

With the merits of Ma Fang and Ma Dong's father and son, Tang Yi decided to set aside 5,000 acres of farmland and 20,000 acres of pasture. Ma Fang, this guy has made a lot of meritorious contributions, and the rewards he has received are also very rich on the battlefield.

But he is a very poor ghost, there is no way, every time he goes deep into the grassland to fight, he has to take great risks, weapons and horses must be used the best, the brothers are wounded, lose their lives, he must take care of them, otherwise who will play with you!

Over the years, Ma Fang has used all the money she has earned to fill in the holes.

"Brother Ma, I'll ask them to send a shrewd steward to help you take care of it, and in a year, you will be able to have twenty or thirty thousand taels in the account, and when you are free, hurry up and handle Ma Dong's marriage, and the boss is not small, you should hold your grandson."

Ma Fang's face turned red, his sons are twenty years old, he is an out-and-out older young man in this era, and he is really a failure to be a father!

"My lord, the last general has the courage to ask you to marry Dong'er."

"Hahaha, okay, have you chosen someone?"

Ma Fang smiled, "Tang Kekuan has a granddaughter, the little girl is sixteen, very beautiful, I didn't want to, it's just that, I admit it a generation lower than him!" ”

"Okay, go back and let Tan Lun be the matchmaker, hurry up, and get married." Tang Yi said with a smile.

The two of them said happily, but Ma Dong's little face turned into a big red cloth, so swollen that it could drip blood, he was not shy, but ashamed!

"I'm not married!"

Ma Fang's eyes stood up, and he scolded angrily: "Bastard boy, what did you say? ”

"The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home?" Not to be outdone, Ma Dong said: "If I don't get caught, the child has no face to marry." Ma Dong lowered his head, Ma Fang was also speechless for a while, he let out a long sigh and lowered his head.

"Dashuai, do you think this is possible, our two men and horses will go north immediately, whether it is heaven or earth, we must catch him, pull off his head, and sacrifice it to the court to atone for his sins."

Ma Dong also clenched his fists and stared at Tang Yi tightly.

"Don't be busy just yet." Tang Yi glanced at Ma Dong and asked, "Didn't you say that you met a group of centaurs in Daqingshan, and they also went to chase me, who led this group of centaurs?" ”

"It's Xi Muyun, and there's another one called Li Chengliang, who is a guerrilla in Liaodong Town."

The Ma family's father and son couldn't answer the interception and killing in Montenegro, so Ma Dong kept chasing north, chasing through Daqing Mountain and crossing the Hanhai Sea.

At that time, there were only about 2,300 of his 3,000 men left, and the food was exhausted, but fortunately there was still some snow in the winter, so that he would not be thirsty, but more than half of the brothers had chilblains, and pus flowed with water, not to mention how miserable it was. And they have entered Mobei, which is a place where Ma Jiajun has never been here, and Ma Dong is also hairy in his heart.

He chased for another day, but there was no trace of him, just in time for someone to send an order, saying that Lord Qincha had arrived at Dabansheng, and Ma Dong had no choice but to return in a huff.

When passing through Daqingshan again, a Ming army happened to come from the south, with few men and horses, only 500 people, but they brought 3,000 war horses, all carrying grain and animal skins on their backs.

Moreover, among the 3,000 war horses, more than 1,000 turned out to be Arabian horses, which were even more proud than the Pegasus under his command. The tails are raised in the air and neighs loudly, as if swearing that they are the real Pegasi.

The soldiers of Ma Jiajun were indignant, but Ma Dong knew that they were authentic, not to mention, they were authentic.

It was none other than Xi Muyun, who was in charge of picking up the refugees from Duoyan Sanwei at Yingkou, Ma Dong was still good friends when he was at the station.

He was responsible for receiving refugees, and the imperial court promoted him to the title of Imperial Governor of the Right Command, Governor of Nanyang, and was still stationed in Luzon.

Xi Muyun is not happy at all, don't look at the promotion, there is no difference from the original power. The imperial court still did not take Luzon seriously. He felt that he was going to do a big vote, and after many years, he heard how powerful I was, and he didn't have any temper at all in the court.

Now is the time for a decisive battle, how can he be willing to be the captain of the transport brigade?

It's just that Xi Muyun is good at naval warfare and doesn't know anything about cavalry, so he can only be in a hurry. Coincidentally, Li Chengliang, who was in charge of escorting the refugees, arrived at Yingkou, and the two hit it off at first sight.

Both of them were bold and ambitious.

"I said Brother Ruqi, the imperial court has made up its mind this time to completely eradicate Meda, with the means of Tang Ge Lao, the strategy of the Tan Army, and the bravery of Qi Zongzhen, I think I am in a catastrophe, and there may be a big war in the future, but it is not as important as this time! If you can't participate, it's a lifelong regret! ”

"Alas, who said no, but I have the heart to serve the country, but I can't find a way." Li Chengliang, as a military general, has no ability to participate in decision-making at all, so he can only watch.

"Brother Qingchen, if you can help, my brother is grateful!"

Xi Muyun smiled, "Brother Ruqi, don't worry, this matter is handed over to the junior brother!" ”

Not to mention, Xi Muyun has a very good way, his fleet happens to carry a large amount of whale oil, this thing is good, it can illuminate, cook on fire, and set fire to kill, it is simply a must-have for home travel.

Xi Muyun said that he moved Cao Bangfu, the governor of Tianjin, and asked Cao Bangfu to transfer Li Chengliang from Li Tianpet's men, and the two of them escorted whale oil and worked hard to get to Dabansheng.

But as soon as I arrived, I heard that the tokto had been broken a day earlier.

Xi Muyun beat his chest, and Li Chengliang pointed to the sky and scolded the earth.

A: Aren't you a hero?

Haven't you been on the rampage for thirty years, and no one can beat you?

Why are you so cowardly, after only a few days of hard work, you were beaten to the ground, why can't you last a few more days?

It took so many twists and turns to get the opportunity, do you want to become a passerby?

"I'm not reconciled!"

"I'm not reconciled!"

The two men looked at each other, and both saw in each other's eyes a raging flame, burning vigorously.

"Brother Ruqi, go and kill Meda, do you dare to go?"

"What don't you dare!" Li Chengliang took a sip fiercely, "Lao Tzu endured for more than forty years before he mixed up with a mere guerrilla, if he can't make great contributions, this life will be over, I bet!" He looked at Xi Muyun, "Brother Qingchen, I see that you are young and high-ranking officials, so don't take risks." ”

"Phew!" Xi Muyun rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu worked hard in Nanyang and won Luzon, but what about the court, who is the hero of the expansion of the territory?" In their eyes, Nanyang is a reckless land, only the northern captives are the big trouble, this time Lao Tzu will let them take a good look, I, Xi Muyun, can not only deal with Xiyi, but also kill me! ”

These two guys immediately made full preparations, Xi Muyun held the sea trade route in his hands, there were more purebred Arabian horses than the imperial court, and Li Chengliang had been in Liaodong for a long time and was familiar with the situation of the Mongolian tribes. He thought that this long-distance attack might have to chase thousands of miles, and that there should not be many people, but that there must be enough horses, enough food to eat, and good weapons...... Xi Muyun completely agreed with him, and the two of them, with 500 soldiers and more than 3,000 war horses, went north from Dabansheng, and chased them down along the route of Alda's escape.

One day, two days...... Ten days, fifteen days......

Xi Muyun and they chased them for eighteen days, and it had been two thousand miles since they left Dabansheng, during which they experienced five battles, forty-three soldiers were killed, thirty-five soldiers were missing, and five hundred war horses were killed!

When night fell, Xi Muyun grabbed a piece of half-cooked horse meat, bit it hard, and a trace of blood came out of the meat, which smelled bad, and in the past, he would never eat it.

Li Chengliang's face was also not good-looking, "After chasing for almost twenty days, I replied that I had fled to the sky?" Why can't I find it! Brother Qingchen, did you say that our direction is wrong? ”

Xi Muyun swallowed a large mouthful of horse meat, and finally swallowed it, so he quickly grabbed two mouthfuls of snow and swallowed it, so as not to spit it out.

"Brother Ruqi, many people judge that I will go to Mobei, but I don't see it that way. I am a hero, can he be willing to be subservient? What's more, many of the Mobei tribes were Genghis Khan's slaves back then, not the real descendants of the Golden Family, so I still want his face! ”

"And where the hell did he go?"

Li Chengliang was angry, and swung his fist hard, smashing the ground, stirring up countless snowflakes. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly brought a torch and pulled the snow away, and a large pile of bones appeared in front of him. Holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully, Li Chengliang's eyes lit up.

"It's a horse bone! Brother Qingchen, look, there are tooth marks here! Li Chengliang's voice changed.

Xi Muyun was puzzled, "What's strange about having tooth marks?" Didn't we gnaw a whole bunch of bones? ”

"Hahaha, don't you know the habits of the Mongols, in their eyes, horses are gods sent from heaven, even if it is difficult, they can't eat horses, unless they are exhausted and cornered!" Li Chengliang blinked, and the answer was about to come out! (To be continued.) )
