Not only is there a reward for killing the enemy, but there is also a reward for getting hurt. But it has to be in the front of the body, and the back is stabbed, as if it is running away, right?

Among the military rewards of the Ming Dynasty: kill one enemy soldier (get the first rank), the general is promoted to one level, or get fifty taels of silver.

To put it bluntly, for soldiers who want to be officials, this is a process of fighting monsters and upgrading: soldiers - five households - forty households - one hundred households - thousands of households - generals - guerrilla - staff generals - town generals - deputy general soldiers - general soldiers - governors - governors (left and right).

Of course, because it is a choice between two or the other, there are also people who only need money and do not want officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, the most famous guy who asked for money and didn't want officials was probably Man Gui.

This guy is a Mongolian, and his riding and archery skills are very good, and every time he participates in a battle after joining the army, he is beheaded and has a lot of ears amputated.

But I don't know if it's because of his family difficulties, or for other reasons, the head has been changed to silver. When I was in the prime of life, I mixed up a small general flag.

If it weren't for his luck, he was favored by Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Jiliao, this guy would still be cutting off his head in Xuanfu to make money! It is estimated that if this guy does not die, he can become the richest man in Xuanfu by cutting people.

Of course, fifty taels of silver was indeed a lot of wealth at that time. Converted into the currency of the Hereafter, one tael of silver is about six hundred and sixty or seventy taels. Fifty taels, well, nearly forty thousand dollars.

The key is that the price at that time was not high, and fifty taels was almost enough to buy a small courtyard in a bad part of the capital.

Therefore, the decapitation of military feats is still very tempting. cut a forty thousand, and a year's salary came out; Cut two eighty thousand, cut ten......

It's just that it is very difficult to cut off the head to earn military merits, and there are many drawbacks, which will be discussed later.

"Xiong Jingluo, it's your turn." The inner official put away the holy decree, took a step back, and stretched out his hand to give in.

Xiong Tingbi arched his hand, strode forward, and several pro-soldiers in the audience got on their horses, ready to report around the field.

"The Houjin army is as brutal as a beast, and it will be slaughtered if it breaks the city, and Shenyang and Liaoyang have already learned blood. Now the city has been closed, and the enemy will attack in the future, and there is no way to retreat, so we can only fight to the death, and fight for my wife and children......

Xiong Tingbi's voice was much louder than that of the internal officials, and with the repeated shouts of the pro-soldiers, the officers and soldiers in the school yard could hear it clearly.

"The state has its own laws, and the army has military regulations. Offenders shall be severely punished......"

"Fear death, kill!"

"Escapees, kill!"

"Whoever disobeys the order, kill!"

"Scream rioter, kill!"

"Whoever confuses the army, kill!"

……………

The fierce and cold "killing" on the stage, and the repeated "killing" in front of and behind him, are like cold wind, which makes people's hearts awe-inspiring.

Xiong Tingbi was shocked, took two steps back, and asked the prefect Gao Bangzuo to come forward and speak.

Wang Huazhen has been temporarily suspended due to Sun Degong's rebellion and is confined to the house by Jinyiwei. At this time, in Guangning City, the highest-ranking civil official was Gao Bangzuo.

Although through interrogation, Sun Degong's subordinates have confessed and confirmed the great crime of Sun Degong's rebellion. But Gao Bangzuo is still a little entangled in the emperor's decree.

Therefore, he did not say much when he came forward, but only showed the python satin, silk satin, and silver taken from the treasury to the officers and soldiers as a reward.

Of course, the reward for killing the enemy must be mentioned. In addition to the reward of 50 taels for killing a slave stipulated by the imperial court, there are also five silk horses rewarded by the Guangning government.

Next is the highlight, which is also the power granted to Xiong Tingbi in Zhu Youxiao's secret decree, killing people.

It doesn't matter who to kill, it is natural that Sun Degong and other rebel generals who took the initiative to send their heads.

The heads of people dripping with blood were hung on high poles and stood in the school field, which greatly shocked the Ming officers and soldiers who defended the city.

Fear, sometimes it makes people feel slaughtered, and sometimes it gives rise to great courage. Of course, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

Enwei and Shi, Xiong Tingbi is still very slippery.

Of the 36,000 defenders, 6,000 were strong men recruited from the city. After one day of emergency training, when they were able to stab people with guns and slash people with knives, they were divided into various units and practiced while fighting.

At the same time, the people of the city were mobilized, with the people carrying supplies and caring for the wounded, and the elderly and women providing hot and food for the defenders during the war.

Three of the city gates have been blocked, and they can't run if they want to. Putting them to death and coming back to life undoubtedly gave the soldiers and civilians of Quang Ninh City a little more momentum of hatred and hatred for the enemy.

After more than two days of preparation, Xiong Tingbi strengthened the city defense, trained non-commissioned soldiers, assigned officers to defend the city area, and set up street fortifications.

Taking advantage of the fact that he could still communicate with the outside world, Xiong Tingbi sent another 1,000 men and horses to escort some weapons and military materials to the right garrison, as the backbone of the ammunition pressure supervision and stabilization of the defenders.

At this time, the Houjin army broke through Xiping Fort, rested and began to drive towards Quang Ninh City.

Let's remember these names, as well as the heroes of the Han family who died bravely in the Battle of Xipingbao and the 3,000 Ming troops who died in battle.

Luo has always been the deputy chief soldier of the Pingliao Army, with a strong and upright temperament and tired of military exploits.

At the beginning of the Battle of Guangning, because Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, listened to Sun Degong's words, Luo Cheng had only 3,000 men and horses to defend Xiping Fort alone.

The Houjin army first attacked Xiping Fort to lure the Ming army to come to help, and then in the Battle of Shaling, through the destruction of the traitor Sun Degong, the Ming army was defeated.

Subsequently, the Houjin army began to attack Xiping Fort with all its might. Luo has always personally gone into battle, led the army to hold on, and bombarded the Houjin army with artillery, causing great losses to the Houjin army.

Li Yongfang, a rebel general of the Houjin faction, persuaded him to surrender, but Luo always refused awe-inspiringly, "Don't you know that he has always been a righteous man!" ”

The enemy and our armies fought fiercely all day long, and Luo was shot in the eye by a stray arrow, although he couldn't fight, he still didn't go down to the city and continued to command.

In the end, the defenders ran out of gunpowder and stones, and the city was breached by the Later Jin army.

Luo always bowed north in the city, and uttered his last words: "The ministers are exhausted!" Then he killed himself.

After the city was broken, the fierce fighting in the street battles continued for a long time. Counselor Hei Yunhe, Du Si Chen Shangren, Wang Chongxin, and 3,000 defenders were martyred.

……………..

"Exhausted!"

Thousands of miles away in the imperial palace of the capital, Zhu Youxiao stopped in front of the sand table for a long time, staring at Xiping Fort for a long time without turning his gaze.

Thinking of the figure in history who knelt down to the capital and then calmly killed himself, the short last words seemed to echo in his ears, and his eyes couldn't help but be moist and his nose was sour.

Holding back his tears, Zhu Youxiao secretly made up his mind: I must not let these heroes who spilled their blood on the land of Liaodong shed blood and tears.

Xiping Fort is a lonely city, the field battle is invincible, there is no hope for reinforcements, and even he can't change it. And Quang Ninh City and Youtun Guard, I will never let you repeat the mistakes of the past.

Turning his gaze, Zhu Youxiao stared at Denglai on the sand table and Phi Dao, which was close to North Korea, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As a traverser, Zhu Youxiao will certainly not only have Xiong Tingbi's move.

The Quartet launched to harass Houjin so that it could not concentrate all its efforts to attack Quang Ninh, and Zhu Youxiao had already made arrangements. Calculate the time, and it's about the same.
