Chapter 296: General Breaker
Several Xia people were already seriously injured, and they were being punched and kicked by many people at this time, and they soon lost their lives.
"Dog thing! Phew! Let you die like this, cheap you! ”
"Lao Tzu still thinks that these summer dogs are beaten with iron! It turns out that he is so undead! ”
"Humph! Lao Tzu hasn't been addicted yet, this group of dogs is dying too fast! ”
……
Many people still didn't understand their hatred, rushed up to make up for a few kicks, and spat a few more mouthfuls.
I saw the muddy ground, several Xia people had been trampled on, and the flesh and blood were blurred, mixed in a pile of mud, which was disgusting.
"That's it! Stop! ”
Wang Cheng spoke again, and the chaotic scene finally gradually returned to calm.
"Folks, you have seen it! Xia people are not terrible, Xia people will also die! ”
The thousands of people standing below had complicated expressions, some were angry, some were in pain, but they were not afraid.
At this moment, a burly man came out of the crowd, dressed as a farmer.
He walked to the front of the crowd and said in a loud voice: "General Wang, you have sent someone to tell us earlier that the civilians who were killed this time will be compensated. If the whole family is destroyed, compensation will be paid to their relatives, but is there such a thing? ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately exploded like a pot.
"Yes! General, we're all here to get the compensation! ”
"Our nephew's family was killed by the summer dog of that dog's day, if there is no money, how can we collect their corpses!"
……
Wang Cheng looked at the burly man in the lead, although this person was dressed like a crop man, the aura fluctuations on his body could not be concealed.
This is a warrior!
In such a large group of people, most of them are ordinary people, so most of this person is from the four families of Wu, Qin, Li, and Cao, or a representative selected by them.
Wang Cheng didn't reveal his identity in person, pressed his hands, and waited for everyone to be quiet before he spoke: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, and since the general has already said this, it will naturally count." ”
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the people of Nanli County.
Early in the morning, they braved the rain to come here, didn't they just want to get money?
"But ......"
Wang Cheng suddenly changed his words and said: "There are four or five thousand households in the south of the county, nearly 20,000 people, and more than half of the people who have been killed. ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
Who didn't have a few relatives in those who died, and if all the relatives came to receive compensation, how much would it be?
The burly man in the lead continued to ask, "General, how do you say you should lead it?" ”
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "I rule the country with filial piety in the Great Zhou, and anyone who receives compensation can send a young junior to come to the county seat voluntarily to keep filial piety for the relatives who died for seven days, I don't know what the villagers think?" ”
"Seven days of filial piety can you receive compensation? What's not to do with that! ”
"Our second cow is his aunt's own nephew, not to mention keeping filial piety for seven days, three years!"
"Our family can do it too! My sister's family was killed, and my son, as their nephew, was supposed to be filial. ”
……
The villagers agreed without thinking about it, this kind of good thing is not something that anyone can encounter.
"Young Master Qin, why does the three leopards think that this General Wang seems to have other plans?"
In the crowd, Wu Sanbao came up to Qin Feiyu, his face full of "I don't believe it".
Qin Feiyu said: "Qin doesn't understand very much, I want to come to General Wang has his own plans." ”
Wang Cheng raised his hand to suppress the noise again, and said: "Anyone who agrees with the general's policy can go to the general's mansion today to register information and receive compensation." ”
Everyone applauded, and many people couldn't help but prepare to run.
At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the ground.
From the east, dozens of horses galloped forward, and the speed was very fast, and it was only a dozen breaths to reach here.
The people were fast, but orderly, and lined up in two straight lines, each dressed in red fish-scale armor and wearing a helmet with a tuft of red feathers stuck in the helmet.
With the arrival of this group of people, the original drizzle actually stopped.
The sky opened up in an instant, and the daylight shone on the armor of the group.
"The Guard!"
Wu Sanbao's eyes froze, and he recognized the identity of these dozens of horsemen, who were the forbidden army in the palace.
"How did the Guards come here?"
He was very puzzled in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Qin Feiyu who was standing aside.
Qin Feiyu didn't pay attention to him, and said softly: "It's here!" ”
Before the words fell, a majestic and loud shout sounded in everyone's ears.
"Where is Lord Wang?"
I saw two people riding out of the dozens of horses, one dressed as a school captain, and the other dressed as a civilian official.
Wang Cheng had already descended from the big tomb slope at this time, and when he came to the two of them, his eyes quickly focused on the civil official.
This is a man in his fifties, wearing a red official robe, with a dark complexion and a tall figure, if it weren't for this civilian official outfit, it is estimated that everyone would regard him as a military general.
"People of the court!"
Wang Cheng quickly deduced the approximate identity of this person, and his heart beat twice more without compromise.
At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on these people, and even began to whisper in private.
"Red official robe, how many officials are this? Bigger than our county magistrate, right? ”
"Cut! This is at least a third-grade official, and the county order is a fart in front of him! ”
"Looking at this posture, I guess they should all be from the imperial court."
……
Wu Sanbao and Qin Feiyu were also discussing.
"It's Lord Bao! The dignified doctors have arrived, it seems that this matter is not simple! Qin Gongzi, what do you think Lord Bao is here for? ”
"General Wang has made so many contributions, and it is indispensable to be crowned an official and knighted!"
"Knighthood? Even Bao Zheng came in person, it seems that this reward is not small! ”
"That's how it should be."
……
Seeing that everyone was talking more and more fiercely, the young lieutenant shouted: "Silence! ”
The majestic voice overshadowed everyone's discussions, and the noise suddenly stopped.
Wang Cheng came back to his senses and saluted Bao Zheng: "Under Wang Cheng, I have seen angels!" ”
Bao Zheng turned over and dismounted, nodded, and said with a smile: "General Wang is polite." ”
Then he took out an edict from his bosom and said aloud: "The king's edict! ”
Wang Cheng's expression was solemn and he straightened his waist.
Behind him, thousands of people knelt down in a "bang", and even Qin Feiyu and Wu Sanbao were half shorter.
Bao Zheng spread out the edict and began to read it: "The edict said: Captain Wang Cheng, loyal and brave to serve the country, since joining the army, bravely killed the enemy, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions......
"Loyal and brave uncle!"
"General Breaker!"
"Governor of all military affairs in the southwest!"
Wang Cheng kept echoing these words in his mind, and as for the gold, beautiful maid, and house in the back, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
This time, the reward is unusually generous compared to the last time, not only has the title been promoted, but the position has surpassed the Zhonglang General and directly made the general.
Although he is just a miscellaneous general, he is a general of the fourth grade, half a level higher than the lieutenant general from the fourth grade, and the most important thing is the latter sentence "Governor of all military affairs in the southwest".
This title means that he can lead the army on his own, and he can make his own decisions on border frictions like this.
It's just that since he is the governor of all military affairs in the southwest, what is Song Huchen, the general of Zhenxi who was originally the governor of the western defense line, doing?
If Song Huchen continued to defend the western side of the Great Zhou, wouldn't there be overlapping areas in the terms of reference of the two of them?
At this moment, Bao Zheng sent the edict to Wang Cheng and said, "General Wang, take it!" ”
Wang Cheng took the edict and looked at Bao Zhengdao: "I haven't asked for the name of the adult yet." ”
Bao Zheng still said with a straight face: "Bao Zheng." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Bao."
Wang Cheng arched his hand, in fact, he had never heard of this name at all, and said politely: "Your Excellency and the brothers of the Royal Forest Army have been tired all the way, it is better to go to the mansion to rest for a while, and let Wang have a little bit of landlord friendship." ”
Bao Zheng cracked a mouthful of white teeth, as if he wanted to eat people, and said: "It's okay for you to be a kid, you have won so many rewards, and they were all escorted by the old man and Captain Zhang." If you don't let us have a good meal, do you kid still have a conscience? ”
Captain Zhang hugged his fists at Wang Cheng and said, "Under Zhang Zhao, I have seen General Wang!" ”
Wang Cheng nodded, and probably had a certain understanding of the situation of these two people.
Bao Zheng looks old-fashioned, but his mind is delicate; Zhang Zhao is a full soldier, and his strength is very strong, and the previous few shouts that are not a martial artist of the Dacheng realm cannot do it.
"That's right! I forgot the most important thing! ”
Bao Zheng stretched out his hand and took out a seal wrapped in yellow satin from his arms, handed it to Wang Cheng, and said, "This is the seal of the broken general, you kid can put it away." ”
Wang Cheng took the general's seal, nodded solemnly, and then put it into his arms.
From now on, this seal is a symbol of his status and a symbol of power, with which he can not only mobilize all the troops in the southwest, but also have the right to reward and punish those in the army.
"That's it! The old man came all the way and was hungry, so don't pestle here, eat early and rest early! ”
Leaving these words, Bao Zheng turned over his horse, clamped his legs, and rode towards the city.
Wang Cheng turned back to face the villagers, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, what I said today remains the same, and when you apply in the afternoon, you can go to the General's Mansion to register and receive compensation." ”
Saying this, he nodded to Qin Feiyu who was standing in the crowd, and then led the soldiers away.
It wasn't until he walked away that Wu Sanbao had the courage to say, "Qin Gongzi, did you say that Bao Heizi saw us just now?" ”
Qin Feiyu looked at him indifferently and said, "What if you see it?" Bao Zheng is a member of the imperial court, so he won't salute you, right? ”
"I didn't mean that!"
Wu Sanbao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Wu just thinks that Bao Zhengcai's coming is by no means a simple edict to the surname Wang to issue a reward, he must have another purpose." ”
Qin Feiyu looked at the group of figures that had been blurred and said, "Maybe!" ”
