Apologize, apologize, make up for yesterday, and more than 5,000 words in the evening.

——

The Yuan army that escaped learned from the captives that it was the Xingzhou Zhang Jujing Division. Shijiabao sat in Daning and did not come. Or this is also a reason why the Xingzhou breakthrough was successful and the Daning Qing Army surrendered.

The attacking army totaled 6,000 people, 800 of the 1,000 cavalry were killed, 1,000 infantry were killed or wounded, and 2,000 escaped. More than 2,000 people remained. Calculating their own losses, Wen and Chen's two divisions had 4,000 casualties, 1,000 casualties when the cavalry charged into battle, hundreds of casualties when killing the fallen cavalry, and finally hundreds of the infantry besieging the Yuan army died, and there were about 2,000 people with minor injuries. Among the soldiers who lost their lives, there were about 100 people who died under the prison camp and their own firearms and arrows.

The cavalry led by Monk Li suffered few casualties, more than 200 people. Guan, Luo, and Deng She's headquarters only participated in the counteroffensive, and there were not many casualties. In total, there were 13,000 people when they left Yongping City, and after this battle, there were more than 9,000 left. The average exchange rate with the enemy is two to one.

This is still in the case of taking a big advantage. Deng She didn't speak for a while, and he was afraid for a while. If it weren't for the fact that the enemy was facing the wind, and Heguangxiu offered a strange strategy, he dared to assert that the camp would never be able to hold it.

After the war, it is necessary to reward meritorious deeds to make persistent efforts to boost morale. In the afternoon of the same day, Deng She gathered his whole army and gathered in front of the Yuanmen, which was full of arrows and artillery pits. Thousands of people lined up in divisions, flags fluttered in front of each team, a platform was erected at the entrance of the gate, several big drums were behind them, and the drummers raised their hammers with open arms, and the drums beat slowly and powerfully.

Deng She stepped onto the stage, accompanied by Wen, Chen, Zhao, Li, Guan, Luo, Huang, He, and Erlu generals. All men pressed their swords in their right hands, and their cloaks were behind them; Heads held high, bright armor.

Three hundred pro-soldiers lined up in the audience, and dozens of selected high-voiced soldiers stood on the side, acting as proclamators for a while. Dunsha said one word, and they followed another, so that the whole army could hear it.

At the high point in the middle of the platform, the officers of more than 1,000 households stood in two columns according to their official positions. The sun is shining brightly, the wind is lightening, the spring is warming, and the chill is swept away. Compared to last night, suddenly two worlds.

Deng Shemo stood silent for a moment, and the whole army was silent.

"Last night, the Tartars tried to take advantage of our unpreparedness. Unexpectedly, the providence was on me, and first the rangers learned of the report, and then the strong wind showed me to win. My camp is stable, and I am ready to work; At that time, too, the Tartar momentum shook the sky, and the soldiers did not spin, and there were strange people who made a move, and they made one place and used one end wisely. The so-called favorable time, place, and people, and our army are all occupied, yes, the drum has not stopped, and the good news has been spread. The Tartar ran with his head in his hands, panicking like a flooded rat. ”

After summing up last night's battle, he paused and raised his voice: "The time and place are right, heaven and earth bless me the Great Song, bless my army!" However, breaking the enemy in battle and fighting to the death without retreating is all due to the merits of the army! Without waiting, there would be no our army at this time today. Ladies and gentlemen, punish the cowardly, and reward the warriors. If there is merit, it will be advanced, and if it is not, it will be encouraged. Last night's performance, I will remember it vividly, my heart praises it, and my anger is raised for it! He exclaimed, "Judge! ”

Chen Hu stood tall and stood out: "The last will be." ”

"Facing the enemy in battle, making a surprise strategy, and defeating the enemy for the cause, this is a miraculous feat. What's the reward? ”

"Those who have performed miraculous deeds shall not be rewarded regularly, and the Lord will have the right to temporarily record and reward them. More than 1,000 households, promoted to the first level. ”

Deng She nodded, and took a red gold tiger talisman that was urgently created from the wooden plate held by the soldiers beside him: "Last night, I broke the enemy, the first merit was Heguangxiu, and the military order: Promote the deputy ten thousand households." Pick up the Golden Tiger Talisman. ”

He Guangxiu raised his eyebrows with joy, and almost threw himself in front of Deng She, kneeling down and kowtowing, with a bang.

He pulled the throat of the male duck and shouted without a mouth: "The general is mighty!" General Shenwu! It's not that he is infected by the general's domineering spirit, where is the villain's magic strategy! It's all the general's credit, the villain is grateful, the horseskin is shrouded, the general's order flag is waved, the villain is invincible, and there is no place to bury him. ......" was so happy that he was incoherent.

Some of the generals were disdainful, some were smiling, and Deng She coughed twice and motioned for his soldiers to pull him down.

He also said: "In the first battle of Yuanmen, Wenhua was the first to bear the enemy's front, risking arrows and stones, fighting to the death to block the enemy, so that the Tartar iron cavalry could not enter my Yuanmen one step. Without General Wen, there will be no miracle strategy. Judge, what reward should I have? ”

"In the battle, the number is equal to the middle formation, and the number is less than the lower battle. General Wen has 2,000 foot soldiers, blocking the Tartars' 1,000 strong iron cavalry, which can be compared to the middle battle. On merit: second-class transfer to officer. ”

Deng She's head: "Write down this skill, and I will write it as a recital, and listen to it on the table." The imperial court appointed later, and General Wen took the lead in his bravery, and he should have been rewarded first. In the face of danger, he gave orders and turned the tide, General Wen made great contributions, and today's reward is not in accordance with the norm, and it is preferential and heavy. Military order: Give one silver ingot, 100 silk horses. "Reward one person in order to boost the morale of the army.

It's just that although he has 10,000 people under his command, the official position in the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty is actually no more than 100 households. Although the actual command of the army is in his hands, he has to go through the formality of the procedure for promoting officers of more than 1,000 households.

Deng She saw the situation in Liaodong more and more clearly, he could not go to Shangdu, and he could also form an army by himself like other generals.

For example, Mao Gui in Shandong, Li Wu and Cui De in Shaanxi, and even Guan Duo in Liaodong, on the one hand, were under the division of the Yuan army, and on the other hand, they were mixed with many other rebel armies that had been defeated and surrendered, and their ties with Henan were not very close. In addition to them, there are many small strands of red scarves, under the name of the Great Song Dynasty, and the fact of separation.

In order to develop better, he must continue to pursue the name of the dragon and phoenix of the king of Xiao Ming.

As far as he intended, he didn't have the time to be self-reliant or not. As he had thought before, the current situation is difficult. 10,000 new soldiers, last night's big victory, luck accounted for a large component. The first priority he needs to consider is how to occupy a foothold.

Next, they discussed the merits of Chen Hu, Zhao Guo, Li Monk, Guan Shirong, Luo Guoqi, Huang Donkey and others. Some should be promoted to official positions, and some should be transferred to official ranks, and he ordered Chen Hu to write down his merits one by one and reward him with money.

Wu Henian's proposal of victory and waiting for a victory has played a certain role in stimulating the morale of the military. Deng She didn't intend to give credit, such people who were greedy for life and afraid of death could only suppress it, not fake it.

After the officer's reward, the soldier's reward.

The first one, of course, is Zhang Ji'er. Deng She specially ordered him to expose his upper body when he received merit. The weather is getting warmer, but it's not cold. Zhang Ji'er has been in the army for a long time and has many scars on his body. He is burly, majestic, after the new creation, there is no trace of depression in spirit, two pro-soldiers want to help him, he pushed him away, and stood proudly under the general's platform.

The afternoon sun sprinkled on his body, like Yue Zhi Yuan, with the spirit of thousands of people.

Deng She personally stepped down, ordered someone to bring spirits, was generous for a long time, and said to the army: "Zhang Baihu has injuries on his body. In addition to the new creation, there are more than 20 old injuries, all of which are on the two ribs of the chest, and none of them are behind. How can such a strong man be entrusted with a hundred households in one district? It is really the courage of our army, and I hope that all armies will take it as a model. If everyone can do this, our army can run rampant in the world. Don't pay attention to life, everyone, it is easy to take glory and wealth! ”

Such warriors are indeed rare. Talent is rare, Deng She changed his mind and shouted loudly: "If you get the enemy's situation, you will return the battle to the death; The camp is trapped, and the wounds are all in front; We are not afraid of life and death, and we are strong in our army. Military order: Promote thousands of households, give one silver ingot, and fifty silk horses. ”

Asked Zhang Yan'er: "What kind of weapons does the general use?" ”

The former victors of the Hosts will be highly praised; The reward is only slightly lower than that of Wenhua Guo, who "turned the tide", and such an honor made Zhang Yan'er's blood boil: "Villain, use a gun." ”

"Get my gun!"

Deng She summoned his own soldiers, took the iron spear he used, and handed it to Zhang Yi'er with his own hands: "Before I was ten years old, I used a bamboo bow to kill the enemy; When I was thirteen years old, my father-in-law gave me this gun, and I fought in the north and south, killing thousands of enemies, and I have not left my hand for five or six years. Today for the general. The general is brave and brave, and he will not fall into the sharpness of this gun. "He is not so old in this life, and he deliberately reported a few more years.

Without waiting for Zhang Yi'er to speak, he picked up the wine glass and saluted him in person: "Drink this cup full." The horizontal gun is immediate, only I am General Zhang. ”

Deng She's series of admiration, rewards, and generous gifts, sincere in his words, and heartfelt demeanor, he should also be moved by the people of stone. What's more, Zhang Xiaoer is a person with deep righteousness, light on wealth and heavy energy? He pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, raised his glass, drank it all, and burst into tears: "I swear to die and be the pawn of the general." ”

was moved and inspired by this scene in the audience, not only Zhang Xiaoer; The soldiers who died bravely with blood were all excited. The knuckles of the fingers holding the gun turned white, and he only felt that he was full of strength, and he wanted to win glory and wealth like Zhang Xiao'er; The two breaths of raising the flag rushed straight to the top of their heads, and they couldn't wait to be in the enemy formation now, dancing the flag and rushing to kill.

There was a slight commotion in the black oppressive ranks. The morale of this army, in addition to a great victory, finally reached its peak at this time.

Wait for Zhang Xiao'er to go down. The bravest and fiercest soldiers in last night's fierce battle lined up in a line and walked to the front of the general's platform. Most of them are new pawns under Wen Huaguo and Chen Hu, and there are also some cavalry and firecrackers, a total of thirty-two people.

Deng She also did not come to the stage, asking for names one by one and caressing the wounds. He ordered his soldiers to give wine, and all of them were promoted to hundreds of households, and money and things were given.

In the morning, the generals agreed to accept the surrenderers of the green army. Just use these people, plus some old brothers who are thieves on horses, to serve as officers. More than 2,000 troops were lowered, the establishment was dispersed, 1,000 people were added to Wenhuaguo and Chen Hu, and another 1,000 people formed an army, and Zhang Ji'er was allowed to serve as a thousand households.

Zhang Ji'er is a veteran of the army, and he has heard and witnessed it in managing the army, but he is not a novice.

After the reward of this team, there were more than a dozen people who killed the official and surrendered. For these people, the promise was to come and demote the officials, but Deng She was quite hesitant. The following offenses are the same, and the more the enemy's army is, the better, and there must be no one in one's own army. If they are not rewarded, they will not be faithful, and military orders will not work; rewarded them, but they were afraid of causing a bad impact on their own army.

It's very difficult.

In the end, Deng She believes that military orders must not be changed; Only by making a move in the appointment can the whole army see it, and reward and punish it openly.

These dozen people killed a total of three Qingjun and 100 households. According to the military order, Deng She was the master of a hundred households, and the servant was demoted to one level and became the commander of the ten. All were transferred to the demobilized army. At the same time, he instructed Zhang Ji'er and others to secretly blow the wind, saying that the person who killed the official was not as good as a pig or a dog, and instigated the Qing sergeant to kill him. He believes that the surrender of the green army is the surrender, and there must be those who look down on those who kill officials.

In fact, as he guessed, none of the dozen or so people lived for a month. If one dies, Deng She is like cleaning up Manager Liu, familiar with the door, killing the corpse first, and then burying it thickly. And the punishment for the surrendered army that killed them was severe.

Worried about the defeat of Xingzhou and Daning, they will come back in anger. Deng She and the others did not dare to stay for a long time.

Three days later was an auspicious day for travel, Deng She did not believe this, but the generals and soldiers did. Therefore, it was ordered to recuperate for three days, bury the dead, and give the whole army a consistent amount of money, and double the dead. Counting and seizing, 200 firearms, 600 war horses, and more than 1,000 sets of armor and weapons were obtained.

Armor and weapons are temporarily loaded, and firearms and war horses are selected and distributed. Thus the number of musketeers increased to six hundred, and the number of cavalry to fifteen hundred.

The night before the whole army was marching, a guest came to the army that no one could guess.

Madame Wang is back. The officer guarding the gate was an old brother who was a thief and knew her. Lead to the Great Horde.

The tent was discussing the matter of opening, and when Deng She heard the rumor, he muttered in his heart, why did he come back for no reason? Suspend the military discussion and invite Mrs. Wang in. I saw her dressed as a homeless person, unkempt, a pair of broken shoes, and a tattered cloth robe. The night was cold and shivering.

Deng She was shocked, got up and took off her cloak, and invited her to sit down and wrap up; ordered someone to fetch warm water and deliver food, and asked, "Lady, why are you so embarrassed?" Dare to encounter wind and waves at sea? Capsized? ”

Deng She's diligence and warmth in the tent made Mrs. Wang can't help but think of the hardships and dangers along the way, and sleeping in the open; Sorrow came from it, and I tried to hold back my weeping. The generals in the camp are here, and she has to maintain the dignity of Mrs. Wang. Tightly wrapped in her cloak, she didn't speak, and looked at the generals in the tent.

Deng She hurriedly waved his hand and asked the generals to step back. Mrs. Wang said: "The concubine is on the sea, although the wind and waves are strong, she can support it. Halfway through, I met a merchant ship. Because of the lack of water in the boat, the concubine ordered to come up and buy some water. ”

Before leaving, prepare a few buckets of fresh water on the ship, and after a day or two of sailing, will there be not enough water? Needless to say, Mrs. Wang must have wasted her washing, so before she arrived in Shandong, the water was exhausted. Deng She was disdainful in his heart, his expression was not revealed, and he asked, "Isn't it a maritime merchant, but a pirate?" ”

In addition to her grief, Madame Wang noticed that her three-inch feet were peeking out of her tattered shoes, and she retracted into her cloak and replied, "The maritime merchant is not bad. When fetching water, the attendant chatted with them, knowing that they were from Shandong, and asked about the situation in Shandong. only to know that Mao Pingzhang was dead. ”

Deng She was really surprised: "Because of illness? Killed in battle? ”

"Killed by King Yongyi."

King Yongyi is Zhao Junyong, the president of Pi County, Xuzhou. and Sesame Li and other eight people captured Xuzhou, and soon Sesame Li was defeated. He broke through the encirclement, crisscrossed Huaisi, and traveled to Haozhou, Huai'an, Sizhou and other places. Because of the killing of the king of Zhennan in the Yuan Dynasty, he attracted a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Yuan army, which could not withstand it and was thrown into Shandong. He was originally the old master of Mao Gui, and Mao Gui had no reason not to accept it. Hence the scourge of today's struggle for power.

Dunsher's mind jerked as he considered the possible consequences. His destination was in Goryeo, across the sea from Shandong, and the situation in Shandong would inevitably have an impact on Goryeo. He was immersed in thought, ignoring Mrs. Wang, and waited for her to call himself softly a few times before he came back to his senses.

It just so happened that the pro-soldiers came with warm water. Deng She took it, placed it in front of Mrs. Wang, and found a chair to put under the basin. So that she doesn't have to bend her waist and can easily wash her hands and face.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha. Wang Shicheng and Xu Jizu have tens of thousands of horses, and everyone is in Liaodong, and they are not descendants in terms of roots. If he uses this to build a relationship, he can get help when it is critical, and he is willing to be more courteous and respectful to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang has always been comfortable with Deng She's petty intentions, she has a noble status, and she takes it for granted. However, now it is difficult to escape, there is no food for several days and nights, and it is not good to sleep, like a frightened bird, wandering at night and flying without a branch to perch on; I feel this kind of thoughtfulness again, which is completely different from usual.

For the first time, she felt a little moved in her heart. When I took a self-portrait near the water, I saw that the dust covered the beautiful color, dirty and haggard, and I couldn't help but hurt myself and feel sorry for myself, and my eyes were red. Hurriedly reached out to wash his face.

Wait for her to wash and then run her hair through with her fingers. Deng She asked: "The changes in Shandong are very important. However, why did the lady end up so far? ”

"Mao Pingzhang is dead, and the concubine husband has always been wrong with King Yongyi, so he had to return. Back in Yongping, the general had been gone for two days. The concubine chased after her all the way, but unexpectedly, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, she ,......" her voice trembled, and she couldn't continue.

"How?"

"In the vicinity of the Ruizhou Governor's Mansion, I met a stream of rogues from the north. There were so many people that the guards couldn't resist, and the concubines were arrested. I don't know that this group of thieves didn't eat for a few days, and they cooked ten guards that night. ”

Speaking of which, she felt as if she was in the yin forest again. Terrible memories come uninvited.

Once again, she saw her guards tied to trees one by one, watched them disemboweled, deboned and fleshed one by one, and listened to their screams one by one. The head rolled to the ground, and the blood bubbled like a stream to her feet, right beside her, and her intestines hung all over the tree. The cauldron is set up, and the human flesh floats. Countless hideous ghost pawns, grabbing white bones, surrounded and grabbed food.

In the warm tent, she fell into the memories. The nightmare was like an overly frightened lamb, curled up and trembling. The cloak slipped away, and the thin shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

Her family was originally a large local family, and she had been clothed and fed since she was a child. After joining the army, Wang Shicheng went to the public, and the world's property was like his own own, inexhaustible, compared with before joining the army, the degree of luxury was even better. Even if Fengzhou fled, there were Zheng Baihu first, and then Deng She, they all took care of her.

When did she suffer like this? After such a fear?

Even if he was disgusted with her, hearing her say such horror, Deng She couldn't help but sigh. He didn't feel much about people eating people. Over the years, I have seen and heard a lot.

After a while, Mrs. Wang continued: "Since the concubine came ashore, she changed into men's clothes with her maidservant and wiped her face with clay. Therefore, the thief did not know about the concubine's daughter's body, but because he saw that the concubine was thin and weak, he said that he did not chew his head, and waited until the guard finished eating. "If it weren't for the hungry and red-eyed Liukou, I was afraid that I wouldn't wait until I finished eating the guards, and I would have discovered their disguises.

She was scared and dripped: "Fortunately, there was a strong wind for days and a fire at night." One of the guards used the fire to burn the ropes that bound him. took advantage of the chaos to save the concubine and escape. ”

"Where's the guard?"

"Stay out of the tent."

Deng She got up and ordered: "Arrange the tent, bandage and dressing, and send good wine and meat." Later, Ben was going to thank him in person. ”

The soldiers brought the meal, and Deng She took it and set it up. sighed again and said, "Lady, eat it while it's hot." ”

Listen to the warm words, smell the smell of rice. Seeing Deng She's harmonious face, Mrs. Wang could no longer hold back the fear in her heart, howled and cried, and lost her voice. If he hadn't remembered his dignity and identity, he would have jumped into Deng She's arms. Walking on the Yama Palace, three inches of small feet, staggering for hundreds of miles. At this time, she craved the protection of a man more than ever.

She was born, shouldn't she be hurt by a man? She was sobbing. For people other than Wang Shicheng, she has always called herself a concubine; At this moment, he was so excited that he forgot his name, begged and ordered: "The slave wants to see the slave's husband." ”

1. Talismans.

When the disaster was severe, a bucket of rice was sold for a pound of gold; In the area of Shoushan, most of the capitals under the feet of the world can only buy eight buckets of silver (fifty taels), and ten ingots of banknotes (that is, 1,000 yuan) cannot buy one bucket of millet. It has risen more than 1,000 times compared to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.
