Chapter 239: For the sake of happiness, fight
Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai had more blood on their side, which was the blood they had created when they took over the troops of the generals of Liaodong. ± the top novel, there is no way, the generals of Liaodong have raised too many families, one is prosperous, one is lost, the master is arrested, their good days are over, how can they not fight?
Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qian came to the barracks and announced that the generals of Liaodong had been arrested and imprisoned for delaying the military plane. The family members are furious, they can usually get double the salary, and they don't need to go to the battlefield to fight bloody battles, where to find such a good day, you say it's over, and there is still a royal law in your eyes? No, it seems that the family itself is illegal. No matter what, he slaughtered these two guys with five people and six people, rescued his master from prison, and then killed him back to Liaodong and continued to live a happy life.
For their own happiness, the family members fought hard.
Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai were not happy in Shanhaiguan, they were just small military attachés, and now Zhu Youcheng gave them a chance, and if they seized it, they could be promoted and made a fortune. The two also fought for their own happiness.
The goal of both sides is happiness, and they start a fierce fight. All the family members went into battle, and Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai also took out the strength at the bottom of the box. The strength of the two of them is not that of the family, but of all their subordinates.
Zhu Youcheng said a long time ago at the Daming Military Academy that the military family system is actually a very stupid system, taking 10,000 people's salary to train 100 family members, even if the training is a fierce general with unstoppable courage, and 10,000 people can win? What about the remaining 9,900 people, these soldiers who lack food and training are a time bomb on the battlefield. It is no wonder that the military strategist system unites a very small number of soldiers, but abandons the vast majority of soldiers, and is undefeated in the war. If you have time to train your family, it is better to divide the money equally and train all the soldiers. It's a pity for the generals of Liaodong. I only saw the benefits of the family, but I didn't expect the impact of the combat effectiveness of the entire army on the battle situation.
Sure enough, the family members went into battle to fight, and the other soldiers were indifferent. Don't blame these soldiers, they always have to discount the money they usually get, and the families double it. One increase and one decrease, the difference is too much. The soldiers were very simple, they wanted to be paid a lot of money, and they wanted to be treated fairly. is also a soldier, just because others are family members, and all the benefits are accounted for, then when the war starts, the family members should also rush to the front. The psychology of ordinary soldiers is to look and say, the family wins. They will wait and see, and if the family loses, they will still see and talk.
Although the family members are brave, the soldiers brought by Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qian who have been trained with new military training methods are similar in quality to the family members, and even slightly better, and the number is far greater than that of the family members. In this way, there is no suspense in the battle. Many of the family members found that the two generals were not bringing the dough that they kneaded at will. I panicked in my heart, and the more I fought, the more desperate I became. In the end, he simply knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. However, Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai's soldiers were too unsportsmanlike, and it was clear that the family had surrendered, and they had to fight half to death, which was really embarrassing. Not next time, if you do it again, we'll — just bear with it.
Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qian are ruthless enough. As long as they don't surrender, they will all be killed, and the ground of the school field is almost stained red with blood. While suppressing the family, the two of them took soft measures towards the ordinary soldiers, announcing it in public. There will be no more family members in the army, and all the soldiers will eat, live and train together.
The ordinary soldiers of Liaodong were often bullied by their families, and when they saw Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai repairing their families, they felt comforted in their hearts, and felt that it might be a good idea for the two of them to be generals, so most of the Liaodong army quieted down. Of course, this is only a superficial submission, and it will take a while to really become the military force of the Ming Dynasty, rather than the private armed forces of some careerists. It's a good start, though.
In the conference room, Yang Qi saw more than a hundred generals being arrested on the spot, shook his head and said, "Lord Zhu, how can I say hello." You and I don't hate these unworthy warriors, but I endure them. Why? Because all the soldiers in Liaodong were concentrated in Shanhaiguan, they lost their leadership and were prone to mutiny. If you catch it now, you're happy, but what next? ”
"It's okay, I've already sent two generals, Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai, to receive the troops from Liaodong. Liaodong's arrogant soldiers have become the cancer of the Ming Dynasty, and if it is indulged, it will only cause greater damage to the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai are indeed very good leaders, but can they manage the troops in Liaodong well?"
"Both of them are my students and I believe in their abilities. Besides, there are Jinyi guards watching the scene here, and one or two shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be able to turn the sky upside down. Do you think that we picked up the 30,000 heads? When necessary, I did not hesitate to let Shanhaiguan bleed. ”
Gao Di also persuaded Yang Qi a few words, but he just shook his head and sighed. However, the outcome of the incident was beyond Yang Qi's surprise, and Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai received the troops of Liaodong very smoothly, although they had not yet reached the level of Cheng dù, but they were also able to do the order and prohibition. Yang Qi was overjoyed, and the negative feelings that had arisen before because he could not control the troops were swept away. He, Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai worked together to rectify military discipline and train troops, and the defenders of Shanhaiguan took on a new look.
Afraid that as soon as Jinyiwei left, the soldiers of Liaodong would make trouble, and Zhu Youcheng stayed in Shanhaiguan for two days, and did not set off for Beijing until February 15, the sixth year of the Apocalypse.
Zhu Youcheng did not send a messenger to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, because this kind of good news was done on his behalf, and Gao Di rushed the good news to the Emperor of the Apocalypse for 800 miles at the first time, and then the state capitals and county officials successively sent people to spread the good news to the capital. Zhu Youcheng's itinerary along the way was transmitted to Emperor Yiqi like a live broadcast. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhu Youcheng sneezes here, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will get the news.
Zhu Youcheng originally wanted to swagger through the market in a coquettish manner, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could see the power of the army, but unfortunately the heavens were not beautiful, and it actually rained in the spring. Although spring rain is as expensive as oil, it is not a good thing for Zhu Youcheng. Because all the embalming of human heads is made of quicklime, and the human heads are coated with quicklime. Quicklime heats up when it touches water, and it can burn people's heads. This human head is not pig's head, and when it is cooked, it will be bad. When the time comes, you can't say to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Your Majesty, how do you see the taste of this roasted human head?" "Even if it's not cooked. The lime is washed away by the water, and the human head is prone to decay. At that time, he did not send war exploits to Beijing, but sent plague to Beijing.
Zhu Youcheng searched for a long time on the side of the road, and finally found oil paper, which is the raw material for making paper umbrellas. Put this stuff on the roof of your car. I guess it will be waterproof.
"Boss, how do you sell this oil paper?"
"My lord wants it, don't sell it!"
Zhu Youcheng was a little angry, and it wasn't that he didn't give money, so why didn't he sell it? Just as he was about to open his mouth to question, the boss explained with a smile: "It's not for sale, but it can be given away for free." The adults cut down 30,000 Jiannu Tartars, avenged my blood and hatred, and used a little villain's oil paper. How can you collect money? ”
Zhu Youcheng really can't laugh or cry, the oil paper is worth a few dollars, I want you to send it. If you really want to give a hundred and eighty thousand, it's just a little bit of oiled paper, and it's good to say that it doesn't sound good to accept it. Yushi knew about it, and handed the bullet seal upward, saying that Zhu Youcheng was greedy for money and profit. In Shanhaiguan, he accepted bribes from merchants and bribed as much as one silver coin. For a tael of silver. Am I worth it to get into such a big trouble?
Zhu Youcheng threw down a silver coin and asked his subordinates to carry the oiled paper and go out. The boss chased him out, and Zhu Youcheng resolutely pushed him into the store.
In fact, the boss didn't want to return the money to him, but wanted to say: "My lord, the oil paper only costs nine coins of silver." I'll have to get you money. ”
As a result, Zhu Youcheng pushed back the boss's words. The boss was also a little happy in his heart, after all, he made some more money.
Out of the oil paper shop, Zhu Youcheng found that there was an oil cake stall next to it, with a row of golden oil cakes on it. It's steaming hot and the fragrance is enticing.
Zhu You couldn't help but grab one and take a bite, and asked vaguely, "How much is this cake?" ”
"I don't want money, I'll give it to adults. The adults killed so many tartars, and the old man felt comfortable, and the bread didn't need money. ”
Why are Shanhaiguan people like this, this time they want to bribe me with oil cakes, and they really think that the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty is a dry meal.
Zhu Youcheng waved his hand and said: "Money must be given, and it is my obligation to kill Tartars, just like it is your responsibility to make cakes." ”
The boss saw that Zhu Youcheng had to give money, so he pointed to the guise of the oil cake stall, on which were written a few big characters, two for one article.
Zhu Youcheng took out a silver coin and threw it to the old man.
The old man caught the silver coin and said with a wry smile: "The old man only collects one or two hundred copper plates a day, where can I find this consistent money (note: consistent money is a thousand copper plates)?" ”
Zhu Youcheng suddenly woke up to the fact that he belonged to the high-consumption group, so the checkout was settled in silver coins, but the small merchants and vendors on the street, the people in the market were not as wide as him, they were all money, centisilver or simply calculated in copper plates. Now silver could not be used as money, and the people could only use silver coins and copper plates. As a result, when you go out shopping, your wallet is flat, but when you come back from shopping, your wallet becomes bulging. The reason is simple, go out for silver coins and come back for copper plates. It seems that between this copper plate and silver coins, auxiliary coins must be added, such as 5 copper plates, 10 copper plates, 20 copper plates, 50 copper plates, 100 copper plates, 200 copper plates, and 500 copper plates, so that it is much more convenient for people to shop. After returning to Beijing, he sued Wei Zhongxian and asked him to do it.
Zhu Youcheng looked at the missing bite of the baked cake in his hand, and thought that if he spit out the baked cake that was chewing in his mouth now, he probably wouldn't be able to go back. What to do? Zhu Youcheng thought helplessly, that was only to write an IOU. Alas, everyone else writes IOUs in poverty, but I write IOUs in the rich, what kind of world is this?
Zhu Youcheng asked his soldiers to bring him a pen and paper, wrote an IOU of 10 yuan with a brush, and then stamped it with his own big seal.
The old man took the IOU, and his hands trembled with excitement, and he ran away without even caring about the stall.
Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but wonder secretly, this old man is really, does it feel so good to be a creditor? Can he not even want an oil cake stand?
In fact, he didn't know that his words could be said to be a thousand words in the market. His words are very beautiful, and he usually doesn't like to write poems everywhere, so there are very few words in the world, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and his words generally start at ten silver coins.
Although the old man is a maker of oil cakes, his son is a scholar, and he once mentioned the price of Zhu Youcheng's sticker, but who knows that the old man wrote down this matter. Now that he has Zhu Youcheng's IOU in his hand, he won't send it yet.
After leaving the oil cake stall, Zhu Youcheng returned to the barracks, asked the carriage to be wrapped, and gave each of the Jinyi guards a coat to protect them from the rain. You don't need to buy it, there are some in Shanhaiguan. As soon as he was ready to stop, Zhu Youcheng led his troops to leave Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan is more than 600 miles away from Beijing, and at the speed of Jinyi Weixi Zhenfusi, six days was enough, but Zhu Youcheng walked for ten days, there was no way, there were too many onlookers. Since the Ming Dynasty became an ancestor, a war that annihilated more than 30,000 foreign soldiers was too rare, and everyone wanted to see which general had achieved such a brilliant victory.
Zhu Youcheng was not in a hurry, and let the people watch his convoy. The people looked at the mountain of fifteen carts of heads, all of them were stunned and let out bursts of amazement.
They weren't without suspicions before, because there were too many water in the ancient war report, for example, countless beheadings, and there might only be dozens of heads presented in the end; In the comparison, it is said that all those who are hit by the cannon are eroded, that is, there is not even a head. If you add up those battle reports, the Jiannu outside the gate would have been extinct long ago. The good news of Jinyiwei came, and the people suspected that the general of the army was bragging. But when they saw the head, they were shocked. The number of first stages is very easy to calculate, fifteen car heads, two thousand per car, adding up to exactly thirty thousand.
There are also skeptics who put forward a new view, arguing that the middle of the head car is empty, and the head is only the outer layer. However, this kind of person was violently beaten by the crowd of onlookers. It's very simple, look at the wheel print, a human head is about three and a half pounds, and two thousand heads must weigh much? If the car is hollow, why is the rut so deep? Besides, there is really a problem, the Jinyi Guard soldiers can completely cover the head car with a black cloth and not let everyone watch.
The crowd of onlookers found that a black carriage was the most noble, and whenever there was a slope or bridge ahead, a scout ran to the front of the carriage and whispered a warning.
The people in the car were very rude and never answered.
Everyone thought that the person sitting in the car must be the general who commanded the Jinyi Guard to break the Jiannu, but who knew that a gust of wind blew, and when the curtain of the car was opened, there were coffins piled up one by one. It turns out that victory also has a price, and Jinyiwei paid for his precious life in exchange for today's results. (To be continued......)
ps: (Thank you for subscribing to the book friends, by the way, roll the keyboard to ask for recommendations, ask for a monthly pass.) I wanted to write humorous, but it was difficult, I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, and finally felt a little decent. Usually, everyone's life is very stressful, and if the novel has no sense of humor, then there is really nothing to see. )
