The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 556

[556.Chapter 543: illustrious military exploits]

Achievements Fifteen thousand heads are scattered all over the countryside, ready for anyone to pick. Taking out some of these heads at will is a great achievement.

The strength of this flying team is truly terrifying.

The three people in the gold looked at each other in astonishment.

Jin Zizhong squinted his eyes: “This is a great achievement. Our Datong is also proud of you.”

The words “you proud” seem to have ulterior motives.

Think about it, 15,000 people, these flying teams, can they deserve so much credit? If the Datong officers and soldiers get a share of the pie, for example, if the flying team triggers a mutiny in the Tatar camp, and the best of the Datong officers and soldiers come out to kill the thieves, then won’t the credit come to them?

Military attachés in border towns are not polite in order to grab credit. This merit means that Enyin’s wife is even hereditary, and the temptation is too great.

As the chief military officer, even if the military attache below has made a contribution, the main credit will be taken by himself. This is the norm. Now this flying team has made so many contributions, fifteen thousand At least 3,000 heads should be taken for myself. As for the other middle-ranking officials, it may be 2,000 or 1,000. After that, there will be lieutenants and the like. Basically, 500 will be left for the flying team. Of course, it is still They want to give the flying team the first credit. Without them, the Tatar camp would be in chaos, and the brothers would not be able to defeat the enemy.

When Jin Zizhong thought that he was about to make an immortal achievement, he couldn’t help but feel happy, his face glowing red.

But the lieutenant general Wu Xie looked at Jin Zizhong coldly: “This credit goes to the chief soldier and Yourong Yan, but it has nothing to do with us at all.”

“Eunuch Wu, don’t be humble.” Jin Zizhong He thought that Wu Xie was just refusing on purpose, or that he wanted to retreat in order to gain more credit for himself.

Jin Zizhong didn’t care about this. With so many heads, it didn’t hurt to give some away.

Wu Xie said solemnly: “Humility? No, no, no, we don’t dare to be humble at all. Mr. Jin is so courageous. Have you forgotten that this flying team is a member of the Zhenguo Mansion? Name.”

“So what about the Zhenguo Mansion? This is Datong.” Jin Zizhong’s face darkened.

Wu Xie was still smiling: “This is the world of the Ming Dynasty, and the Zhenguo Mansion is personally controlled by His Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that General Wu doesn’t even read the newspaper? This flying team is personally led by Marquis Dingyuan.” Yes, the commander-in-chief doesn’t know who Dingyuan Marquis Fang Jifan is? Do you have any impression of his father, Ping Xihou? Take a step back, you don’t know the relationship between the British government and their Fang family, right? ? Furthermore, the leader of the team, Shen Ao, whose father is Shen Wen from Hanlin University, and Shen Wen has appointed his daughter as the princess not long ago, will be getting married soon. The chief military officer does not know this? “

Wu Xie asked several questions in succession.

There was a slight thump in the center of this gold. In fact, he didn’t have the habit of reading the Di newspaper. In his opinion, the Di newspaper was of little value. He just had to guard the one-third of an acre of land here.

Wu Xie said gloomily: “Come, let us tell you again, that Fang Jifan, if the chief military officer remembers it, he has six disciples, no, now I heard, there are seven, these seven disciples , six of them were Jinshi, and they were all in the Hanlin Academy. What does General Wu think of their future? Looking at our memory, in fact, the Fang family is an aunt of Fang Jifan, and the wife of the second son of the Duke of Wei. , the Fang family and the Xu family are married.”

“This…” Jin Zi’s heart thumped, his face turned sallow, and he suddenly realized that it seemed that everyone here was not someone he could offend.

Wu Xie added: “Actually, in the army here, there should be military rules. Even if the Duke of Wei and the British Duke have made contributions and share a share of the pie, it doesn’t matter. They won’t care. , willing to take a small loss. But Commander Jin doesn’t seem to know who Fang Jifan is, right? We can guarantee that if someone dares to occupy the flying team today, Fang Jifan will dare to come tomorrow. Imperial Majesty, go and expose your old background. There is a saying in this world that the King of Hell is easy to mess with and the kid is difficult to deal with. But this Fang Jifan is both the King of Hell and a difficult kid. The chief military officer actually wants to seize food from the tiger’s mouth. It’s really good. What a spirit.”

Jin Zizhong was speechless and his face turned red.

But at this moment, someone came in a hurry, cupping his fists and saying: “Report: General Liu Shen went to the Flying Team to invite the Flying Team to come to Datong. A man named Yang from the Flying Team said that he did not recognize the chief military officer. They were ordered to kill the Tatars. There was wine and meat in their camp, but he refused to eat the wine from the general officer. “

It’s so arrogant. According to the establishment, that guy is just a thousand households.”

Compared with the general military officer, even sesame seeds and mung beans are not counted.

But…

Jin Zizhong’s face was miserable. He slumped down on the chair and looked at the lieutenant who was smiling at him. His old face turned red with embarrassment: “I ordered people to check the results of the battle immediately. Be quick. The credit here is shared by everyone in Datong. No one should try to embezzle it. This is all the work of the Zhenguo government. Don’t blame me for not reminding anyone who wants to take advantage of this at this time. Don’t blame me for being rude. As for the Flying Team, they refused to come. If you don’t want to come, just ask someone to bring more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as wine and meat, and go and reward him.”

When he said this, he felt relieved.

This is not his fault in the first place. He was really fooled by some lard just now, and he might have suffered a big disaster just a little bit away.

Now he has finally figured it out. He should not let this credit go unnoticed. Instead of doing so, it is better to just go with the flow and obediently give all the credit to the original owner. Then he can find a way to polish up the flying team. Although he has no credit, he can’t say for sure. , I can sell it well to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Jin Zizhong shook his head and said with emotion: “Today is different from the past. Now even the prince personally leads the army.”

His tone was sour.

………

In the evening, a clerk hurried to the residence of the general military officer of Datong Dusi and handed over a book of merits.

Jin Zizhong looked at the thick book and couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. When he opened the credit book, his pupils shrank, and the uncomfortable emotion spread even more. He… wanted to die.

There were quite a few people verifying their identities.

This was done by the Tatar prisoners one by one.

But all those Tatars with extraordinary clothing and armor will be captured to identify them.

In addition, many corpses also contained swords or bows that could be used to identify themselves.

The first one is Grutai, the second prince of Tatar.

Next, the third prince…

and then…the Tatar Prime Minister.

And…

of course, the Tatars inherited the legal tradition of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The legal system of the Northern Yuan Dynasty came from the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongols also learned from the Han system and produced many famous Han officials.

For example, the Prime Minister, Sima, Grand Master, Grand Tutor, etc.

However, they obviously do not have a deep understanding of these official positions.

Therefore, there are many prime ministers, Sima, Taishi, and Taifu.

In the Yuan Dynasty at that time, the wealthy prime minister enfeoffed many people.

When it comes to the Northern Yuan and Tatar tribes, there are even more prime ministers and grand masters.

For example, in this book, there are two heads of prime ministers, one Taishi, three Taibao, and various other prominent official positions. In the Ming Dynasty, at least they were first- and second-grade officials. Here, as many as thirty people appeared.

Next.

There are also more than sixty princes from various ministries.

There are three people in ten thousand households.

Jin Zizhong was so frightened that his eyes were red.

Whichever one you give to yourself, you will become prosperous.

How will I live in the days to come?

Think about it, they killed so many Tatar nobles with more than 15,000 heads at once. What will they let the border troops eat in the future? They finally killed several Tatars. This is a great achievement. Well, you know, if you can get a few heads, you can definitely go to the court to report your merits, and the emperor may even personally approve the rewards.

In history, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, who is now the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, once fought against the Tatar prince in Datong. Both sides mobilized hundreds of thousands of people and killed many people. However, the record of beheadings by the Ming army at that time was 16. . Zhu Houzhao was so happy that he beheaded a Tatar with his own hands that he went around shouting at people.

With an army of hundreds of thousands fighting for several days and nights, it was impossible to simply kill 16 enemies. The only explanation was to behead 16 people, and these 16 people had their heads taken.

This, both at the time and later generations, was considered a great victory.

As for ordinary petty battles in border towns, you can imagine how many heads can be obtained.

The gold center hurts.

Because he found that the flying team left them with no way out. In the future, even if they beheaded twenty or thirty people, would they still have the nerve to go to the court to report their merits?

Even if it’s a great victory and three hundred and five hundred beheaded, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take it.

Could it be that in Datong Dusi, after the flying team attacked, there was no more credit?

He continued to look down, looking at the familiar official positions, and even many familiar names. There were some Tatars, who had been harassing border towns all year round, so the Ming army had also heard of their names, and these Everyone has become a name that was killed one by one, with just a few lines of ink.

After a long time, he took a breath of cold air and raised his head. He found that his forehead was dripping with sweat and his body was shaking unconsciously.

The Flying Team…it’s really fucking frustrating.

He closed the book and looked at the clerk who came to report. He was silent for a moment and then said: “This merit book, as well as all the heads, are all packed in boxes. You can write the report. I will not write anything.” “…”

“Immediately report to the capital on Pegasus. Also, you must remember that except for the flying team, any officers and soldiers from a thousand households, a battalion, or even a Datong Dusi do not need to be included in the victory report. Credit has nothing to do with us at all. What happened last night, how many heads we got today, we should report as much as we can, just be truthful, we won’t brag to the flying team, and we can’t make any omissions. “

Still bragging? Of course you can’t blow it.

If you continue to brag, this good news will become a fairy tale.

………

I recommend a great book “I’m Really Not a God”, produced by Daoyi Geng. It is a fantasy urban novel with good writing style, an experienced author, and the plot is also very exciting.
