CHAPTER XIV
"Mentor Jin Yu has good words, Yan Hei has been taught, I will go to reply to Shangguan and lead the Badong camp to the north." Jiang Yansi made a decision in his heart, and said to Bian Hao categorically.
"It's not easy for people to come to this world once, but on the battlefield, you must not take your life too seriously, take it too seriously, often harm others and yourself, and when you are used to seeing dead people, maybe, when you think of this time, you will feel how ridiculous you are. Go ahead. Bian Ho waved his hand indifferently.
A month later, Jiang Yansi and Zhu Guichao led the Badong camp to Taiyuan Mansion to report to Ding Sijing.
Ding Sijin saw that the military appearance of the Badong battalion was very appreciative, and he was also quite optimistic about Jiang Yansi and Zhu Guichao, so he deliberately organized the Badong battalion independently, and supplemented the troops, gathered the number of 500 people, and appointed Jiang Yansi and Zhu Guichao as the principal and deputy lieutenants, directly under the personal command of Ding Siji, and named them Badong Capital.
Half a year later, when the imperial court issued a decree ordering Ding Siji's troops to go north to reinforce Shengzhou and fight against the Liao army, Badongdu also followed the expedition. It was in this battle that the entire army of Padang was almost wiped out, and only thirty-nine people remained, and Jiang Yanhe's younger brother Jiang Yanzhao also died in this battle.
Jiang Yansi and others were ordered to go to Jinling to meet the emperor, and they wanted to report a letter in person on the way back to Badong, but they couldn't face their families after all, so they had to change their plans and go directly to Jinling.
Jiang Yansi and others did not know that Jiang Jiliang had already learned the news of Jiang Yanzhao's death, and the military system of the Ming State stipulated that the payment of pensions for fallen soldiers did not go through the local yamen, but was specifically responsible for the military department.
At the end of each battle, the dead who have been confirmed by the bodies will be sent directly to notify their families according to the roster.
And it was from this that Jiang Jiliang learned the news of Jiang Yanzhao's death.
The Jiang family was suddenly immersed in sadness. In particular, Jiang Yansi's mother, Chen, conceived and gave birth to a son in October and raised her until she was 17 years old. It's gone all of a sudden, and no one can bear this kind of blow.
The entire Patong county is also immersed in grief, a small Patong county, under the First World War, hundreds of people were killed, white cloth fluttered all over the streets, and the cry was endless. The whole city was in a bleak scene. This scene also happened more than ten years ago. It was the scene when Baili Wuji led the Black Flag Guard to capture Gyeongju, and no one thought that this scene would be repeated ten years later.
Jiang Jiliang's grief was no less than that of the Chen family, but he immediately thought that Jiang Yansi was still in the army. If he has another three long and two short. Then the Jiang family is really going to die, which Jiang Jiliang can't bear no matter what.
At this time, in Jiang Ji's conscience, he would rather the Jiang family never have a future than the Jiang family.
He consulted with Zhu Pengliang, contacted dozens of elders in Padang, and marched to Jinling, where he wanted to plead with the emperor. Leave a queen for the Jiang family, and leave a queen for Badong's father.
Jiang Jiliang has already thought of his rhetoric. According to the Ming military regulations formulated by Baili Wuji, those who have already joined the army in the family will not be recruited, and those who have died in the family will not ......be recruited. Based on this, Jiang Jiliang was completely sure that the emperor would let Jiang Yanhei return home.
The 100,000 new army newly organized by Baili Wuji has been very effective under the training of Baili Yihe, Guo Tingwei, Zheng Yanhua, and Zhou Baozhong, and the day of formal formation of the army is not far away.
But the arrival of Jiang Jiliang and other Padang fathers made Baili Wuji very difficult.
Baili Wuji didn't know that there were Badong children in the army in the past few years, this small county is the place where Baili Wuji feels the most guilty in his heart, the people in this place have shed too much blood for Baili Wuji, although Baili Wuji has promised, but that was only made as a last resort at that time. Over the years, Baili Wuji has deliberately forgotten his promises, he does not want to recruit new soldiers from Padang, and often compensates Padang County from taxes, but Badong is only a small county after all, with its own parents and officials, and it is indeed inconvenient for the emperor to personally set up a decree for a small county.
But Baili Wuji even saw from the smuggling of ordnance by the Zhu and Jiang families, and the fact that they shared the profits to build a workshop for the future of Padang's children, that Baili Wuji really took Padang to heart.
Now I heard that Padang overnight reproduced the tragic scene when the city was full of plain water, which made the guilt in Baili Wuji's heart rise to the limit.
Baili Wuji has the heart to agree to Jiang Jiliang's plea, but there are really not many middle-level generals in the Ming army who have combat experience with the Liao army, and if Jiang Yansi and others are allowed to retire, then it is very likely that the new army will pay the price of blood again.
It is difficult to train a targeted general, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a targeted general who has just fought a bloody battle with the Liao army. Such a general was cultivated with the blood of many Ming soldiers, and Baili Wuji did not want to pay such a price again.
Baili Wuji looked at Jiang Jiliang and the others, and it was indeed difficult to choose in his heart, on the one hand, there were military regulations, Jiang Jiliang and others were indeed standing at the top of morality, but on the other hand, it was the Obstruction Army and the Liao Army that were pressed by the army.
Baili Wuji reassured Jiang Jiliang and the others with kind words, hoping that they would wait until Jiang Yansi and his party came to Jinling Mansion to make a decision, and asked Feng Dao to accompany them to wander around Jinling Mansion, giving them enough grace.
Three days later, Ding Sijin led the remnants and escorted captives Yelu Shuogu and Jiang Yansi and others to arrive outside Jinling Mansion and stationed troops outside the city.
In order to show the court's praise for warriors, Xu Shiming and others arranged the time for the four people to meet the emperor before the court meeting, while Jiang Jiliang and others were arranged to watch in the most corner behind the courtiers.
In the past three days, Baili Wuji and Xu Shiming discussed several times, and in the face of the fact that the new army was about to become an army, they went to the battlefield and made a decision on the arrangement of Ding Sijin and Jiang Yansi, that is, they must stay in the new army. In order to appease Padang Jiang Jiliang and his party, Baili Wuji decided to give them enough glory to appease.
Ding Sijin has followed the Baili Wuji expedition from the state of Chu to the north and south, and he is naturally no stranger to the court, and he is also calm in the face of the gaze of hundreds of officials, but Jiang Yansi and the three of them have entered the court for the first time, which is far from being comparable to the small Badong County Ya, and even the state government.
I don't know how big the officials are when they don't go to the capital, this full hall of officials, just pick one person can turn the whole Padang upside down.
Although Jiang Yansi and the three of them survived the bloody battle from thousands of troops, they were still shocked by this kind of scene, and the three of them followed Ding Sijin in restraint, not leaving an inch.
Baili Wuji sat on the dragon chair, looking at the expressions and demeanors of the three people, he felt funny in his heart, and his impression of them was three points better. (To be continued......)
