Chapter 85 Good News Enters Beijing

After hearing from Sun Chengzong that he wanted to be recruited by the court, it was Sun Chengzong's words that were not the same as Emperor Chongzhen's words. He also had to discuss the court, which required the consent of the ministers and the approval of the cabinet to obtain valid imperial edicts. This was too cautious. Logically speaking, appointing a military official would be as long as the emperor's order is given, and even the emperor's order is not required. Sun Chengzong's words were enough.

Seeing the surprised expression on Li Laoer's face, Sun Chengzong certainly knew what he was thinking, so he slowly said: "Mr. Li, if you want to be invited by the imperial court, the difficulty lies in your absence, you are not a Ming Dynasty person, but a fugitive from the Frontier. Do you know, who were the fugitives who fled to the Tumote tribe during the Jiajing period? Most of them were rebels in the White Lotus Sect! There were other military households in the Guards who killed officials and rebelled, and they were all scumbags of our Ming Dynasty! The Han people who escaped from the pass were all Mongolian Tartars.

It is used to spy on military affairs, help the evil and harm our borders in Daming. Later, the third lady discussed peace with the Ming Dynasty. The Tumote tribe surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. An Dahan just returned the White Lotus Rebels. Because your ancestors could no longer gain a foothold in the Tumote tribe, they were forced to leave the Tumote tribe and occupy the edge of the grassland and occupy the mountains and as kings. This is why there are such Han horse thieves in the grassland. After the White Lotus Rebels, if the court wants to recruit peace, it is probably that the court officials would criticize them. This matter is quite a bit!"

When he heard that he wanted to be recruited, he was still in such trouble. Li Laoer's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Sun Chengzong said: "If Mr. Li is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, he might as well stay in Tongzhou for the time being to help me defend the city together! Mr. Li will submit this matter to the court as soon as possible and discuss it by the court officials. The heroes do not have to be depressed. If they can make another great contribution and defeat Jiannu, the court will never allow the heroes to return to the Ming Dynasty."

"Caomin is willing to die for the supervisor!" Li Laoer knelt down again and gave a big gift.

Sun Chengzong asked Li Laoer to get up, then turned to You Dai and said, "General You, please return the weapons to Li Zhuangshi and ask him to assist our army in defending the city. He also sent someone to report to the court and sent Jiannu's head to the capital to report the victory."

Li Laoer and others took back their weapons, but he had not obtained any official positions yet. He only assisted in interpreting the scriptures, and Fang Daren and Yang Guozhu jointly defended Tongzhou.

In the capital city, the gate that had been closed with martial law suddenly opened, and a fast horse galloped into the city: "Great victory! Great victory! The outsiders entered Ming to help the king, killed 700 Jiannu, and killed the enemy chief Manguertai!"

Behind the fast horses that received victory were more than thirty fast horses. Each knight had a sack hanging on the left and right saddles. As the war horses bumped, the sacks swayed slightly. Looking at the shapes of the sacks, they seemed to be the head of a human.

The fast horse rushed straight to the Ministry of War. Sun Chengzong reported that the beheading Jiannu and the killing of Manguertai was amazing. The left assistant minister of the Ministry of War Shen Yongmao, the head of the official position of the Office, and other officials walked out of the gate to greet him.

The leader of the knight turned over and dismounted at the entrance of the military department, took off the cloth bag on the horse's back, and respectfully presented it to Shen Yongmao: "Qi Duxian, this is the golden sword, waist card and head of the captain Manguertai."

When Shen Yongmao opened the cloth bag, the first thing that caught his eye was a beautifully crafted golden scabbard, with a small cloth bag next to it. When he opened the cloth bag, there was a broken jade waist card. Under the golden knife, there was a wooden box.

"This should be the head of the captain Mangguertai." Shen Yongmao held up the wooden box with both hands.

Shen Yongmao was about to pull out the sliding cover of the wooden box. The surrounding officials and officials of the Ministry of War surrounded him, trying to see with his own eyes what the beheaded Jiannu Beile looked like. The sliding cover of the wooden box was pulled open, and the officials who surrounded the chief officer let out a loud scream. Some even turned their heads and vomited in big mouths.

Logically, the officials of the Ministry of War would not react like this when they saw the heads. After all, the enemy's heads killed by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty must be sent to the Ministry of War for identification. These officials and officials have contacted more heads. To identify the authenticity of the heads and whether they have made good achievements in killing good deeds. However, it is a very tedious thing. First, the heads must be put into the water tank, the ones must be women, and the ones must be men. Then they have to open the mouths of the heads to check their teeth, and then hold the heads to check their cheekbones and braids. After this whole procedure, almost everyone of the officials and officials of the Ministry of War have seen many heads, and it is impossible to have such a reaction.

But the head of Mangguertai in the wooden box was really scary: the whole head was flat, the skull was cracked, the white brain was covered with the forehead, and it had become white mixed with red ice. Half of the face was gone, it looked like it was trampled by a horse's hooves, and the other half of the face had disappeared, the entire mouth was twisted and deformed, and the tongue was exposed. In addition, the head was frozen, and the white piece was stuck to the distorted and deformed head, which looked even more terrifying and scary.

Because Sun Chengzong's contribution was too great, Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War, also walked out. Seeing the unshaped head in the wooden box, he snorted coldly: "How is there any evidence that this head is the chief of the captain Mangguertai?"

Shen Yongmao reported: "I reported to my army that there are Mangguertai's golden sword and waist card here, which can prove the contribution of Sun Tushima."

"Move all the heads in." Wang Zaijin said.

The cavalry outside took down sacks from the horse's back, walked into the yard of the Ministry of War with the sacks, opened the sacks, and poured out the heads of the Later Jin soldiers from it.

"Really slave! It seems to be a true slave!" An official from the Ministry of War picked up a head and flipped it in his hand for a moment. He found that the braid behind the head had been braided for more than ten years, rather than a braid that was temporarily processed.

Some Ming troops saw that the Later Jin army ran faster than rabbits, but as soon as the Later Jin army left, they killed civilians who were powerless to tie chickens and killed Liang and took credit. Since they were killing Liang and took credit, they had to deal with the head, shaved the hair on the head, tied it into a braid, and showed up the Jiannu level and sent it to the Ministry of War to seek credit.

The newly knotted braids can be distinguished from the braids that have been knotted for more than ten years.

There were more than 700 heads in total, and they were sent into the Ministry of War. The heads were thrown into the water tank in turn, without exception, all men's heads. Later, the officials and officials of the Ministry of War took the heads out of the water, opened their mouths to check their teeth, and found that they were full of yellow teeth. They then picked up the heads and pinched their cheekbones, and then looked at the braids behind their heads.

"A real slave! It's a real slave!" a stinger shouted in surprise.

After a whole day of inspection by officials of the Ministry of War and the minor officials, more than 700 heads were all at the heads of the Later Jin soldiers. There was no phenomenon of killing good people and taking credit for success, nor was there the phenomenon of pretending to be a Tartar-level head of the Ming army with the death of the battle.
