Chapter 118 Famous General
Those terrifying heads actually untied their hair casually and tied them around the waists of the flag soldiers, shaking with the movements and stillness as they walked.
Those terrible facial features and even their eyes widened seemed to be glaring at themselves.
Each person has one to two or even three or four heads on his waist, and there are probably nearly nine hundred heads and even more.
Before welcoming the flag army, no one expected to see such a scene. It was simply a nightmare in a nightmare, and even in a nightmare, normal people would not dream of such a scene.
"The so-called Qin army that beheaded and fought for merit is like this in front of us, right?" Guan Lei and Wang Mingyuan and others usually like to read miscellaneous books. For the so-called situation of hanging their heads around their waists and scrambling to seize military merits, the scholar always thought it was an exaggerated description in the book. At this moment, Guan Lei couldn't help but murmur: "It turns out that there is no exaggeration or inaccuracy in the book."
"This is probably intentional by Deputy Qianhu Min." Ding Ruqi's ability to nourish qi and calm down was far stronger than Wang Mingyuan. At this time, he calmed down and whispered: "A few hundred flag troops traveled from Hebei to Baihu like this, within a few days, Deputy Qianhu Min's name was not only spread to our Yuntiguan, but also Guannan, Yancheng, Huai'an, Andong, and how can we not spread it everywhere? When the head level is clear, Min Qianhu took the head level to Nanjing to seek merit. Our Deputy Qianhu Min is afraid that it will be promoted again."
"At least he is also a commander-in-chief." Wang Mingyuan didn't know what it felt like, but this time he didn't say anything strange, and even his tone of speaking was quite calm.
The second sister beside her looked at her brother strangely. She was quite clear about her brother's attitude.
Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly, but did not explain anything.
There must be some original emotions, and some really can't stand the pride of martial artists and scholars. But Wang Mingyuan also understood at this time that his hostility and unwillingness also came from jealousy deep in his heart.
He was a few years older than Min Yuanqi. He passed the exam for scholars before, and all the nearby households, even Li Kecheng, Min Qiande and others, had to look up to him.
Once Wang Mingyuan passed the Juren and Jinshi, his status would not be comparable to those of these martial officials.
For a long time, Wang Mingyuan also had pride and self-esteem that was hard to reach. When Min Yuanqi emerged from a new force, he did many unimaginable things. Even when his father Wang Sanyi was arrested and Wang Mingyuan had no choice, Min Yuanqi blatantly led his men into the Shui Pass and killed the Shui Pass rogue, and rescued Wang Sanyi.
With their cooperation, the Wang family and son have to serve Min Yuanqi, which made Wang Mingyuan even more unwilling, unwilling and dissatisfied.
This jealousy finally disappeared today.
A person's sudden achievement will make the people around him feel surprised and jealous. The achievements of the two are not far apart, and the jealousy will be even more difficult to suppress.
But if the achievements of the two are too far apart and not enough to be justified, then this jealousy will turn into a helpless mentality. Even if it cannot turn into admiration and respect, it is unlikely that there will be jealousy and unwillingness.
Wang Mingyuan himself knew this change very clearly and clearly, but even for his own sister, Wang Mingyuan did not intend to say this emotional change, after all, it was really not worthy of being told by outsiders.
Wang Sanyi, Li Guoding, Zhu Wen and others were shocked and a little afraid, but the remaining emotions were just pride and pride.
The flag army in front of them almost appeared in front of them from scratch. Although these flag army came from several hundred households, the farthest distance was only more than ten miles away. Usually, several hundred households walked around each other. It is impossible to say that they knew each other completely and could call them all, but almost all of them had familiar faces, and most of them could call them.
It is the familiar face and familiar name, most of whom are the younger generations of two officials from hundreds of households, and a group of people that Zhu Wen and others are quite familiar to them.
It was such a group of people who were still poor military households struggling with food and clothing a few months ago. The long-term hunger made them pale and thin and listless. Because of their long-term low status, they were quite timid and afraid, and even had a vulgar temperament.
Nowadays, after a long period of full training, everyone's body shape is stronger and more symmetrical, and the more obvious change is the spirit in their eyes.
Words like bright and spiritual are not completely described when used in these flag soldiers.
It can be said that the spirit and spirit have undergone earth-shaking changes!
There is a spirit in your eyes, powerful walking, calm and confident in your temperament, and even more shocking is the murderous aura that appears in your eyes!
If it weren't for watching these people grow up, knowing their names and even family heritage, these flag soldiers gathered together and walked with their heads hanging on their heads, they would probably not even dare to look at them head-on!
What surprised Wang Sanyi, Li Guoding and others even more was Min Yuanqi's condolences to the families of the Dead Banner Army.
It's not the kind of mercy that goes through the motions or the big man's mercy as high as an ant. In addition to the generous pension, Min Yuanqi forced himself to walk away from the homes of more than a hundred families of fallen soldiers in a hundred households.
Condolences from house to house, express condolences, and respect military salutes.
After Min Yuanqi left, even the sad family members had some of their original dissatisfaction, resentment, and even hostility disappeared.
From another perspective, if Min Yuanqi were not available, any small group of bandits could rob the hundred households. Then all the jades and stones were burned. Who knows if the one who died in his family was just a man, woman, and child, who dares to say that he could be safe?
Although a man died in the family, the generous pensions and continuous subsidies have made these families feel at ease. In addition, Min Yuanqi is not afraid of the fatigue after the war and comes to the house from house to house. The slightest dissatisfaction and resentment naturally disappears.
"Go to the other hundred households tomorrow." What shocked Wang Sanyi and others was Min Yuanqi's words.
"I really didn't expect it." Li Guoding said to Wang Sanyi: "He can actually do this."
"This dynasty is about to become famous generals again."
"It's just a bit late."
No matter how proud the scholars were, they had nothing to say after seeing Min Yuanqi's performance. Guan Lei even said regretfully: "Min Qianhu may be catching up with Qi Shuai back then, but unfortunately, in this situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it..."
Everyone did not expect this level. Recently, Min Yuanqi would ask people to read the residence and the pond newspaper in the military camp every day to let his officers and soldiers know what happened in the past years.
This trend also affected the entire 300th household and the nearby households, and the most ordinary flag army and Yu Ding were aware of the general changes.
The capital was surrounded, the emperor was trapped, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger. When I think of this, it made people feel extremely heavy.
As soon as he thought of this, everyone looked regretful. Indeed, if Min Yuanqi had appeared twenty years ago, he might have become a powerful general like Zuo Liangyu, and his command of many generals would be enough to affect the overall situation of the world.
However, if Min Yuanqi knew this, he would be afraid that he would just smile lightly.
With Chongzhen's character, Min Yuanqi was either used to be useless or disabled, or he had to learn from Zuo Liangyu and become a domineering warlord.
To be a warlord, one must be kind to his subordinates and indulge his subordinates in the remnants.
Whether it is Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, or any famous general, no one regards the people as grass, and does not care about how the soldiers under his command harm the people.
The reason is also simple. If these people want to survive, they must not let the soldiers go. They indulge in the soldiers and make kindness in the soldiers, so that they can only take the soldiers privately and treat the court as nothing.
Only in this way can we resist Chongzhen's random command or the murderous intention arose by the emperor.
Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, and Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, and these generals who lived around the 17th year of Chongzhen were mostly human wise men who had comprehended the truth.
Min Yuanqi either became a warlord he looked down upon or died loyally serving the country, without any chance or hope before Chongzhen 17 years ago.
Qi Jiguang's rise was first Hu Zongxian and then Zhang Juzheng. After Wanli took power, the first person to purge was Qi Jiguang, who had been loyal and righteous for generations, who was directly exiled from the nine sides to Guangzhou.
Yu Dayou's ups and downs have a miserable life.
However, Li Chengliang, who occupied a large number of military households and raised private soldiers, strengthened the strength of his family, and used his own strength. He was rich all his life, his sons were rich, and his family continued to continue, and he also received the title of Ningyuan Bo. If it weren't for the Jurchen rebellion, the Li family could rule Liaodong for at least a hundred years, and the Li family would be the de facto king of Liaodong.
After Li Chengliang, the imperial court served as the general of Liao Town several times, but they were unable to stand firm and could not stand. Only the Li family's talent town's residence was self-evident.
With a system like the Ming Dynasty, even if Min Yuanqi was born twenty years old, he would be a good result without being hidden by birds. The greater possibility is that he was framed by civil servants as soon as he rose, excluded by military generals, and used all his strength and exhausted.
...
After arriving at the military camp, Min Yuanqi unloaded his armor with all the soldiers on the school ground. Looking at the flag soldiers with heads hanging on the military robe, Min Yuanqi waved his hand and said, "Why not take off the military robe quickly and take a rest after washing the mug? Tomorrow, Hao reward the entire army, kill sheep and pigs, each person will give another pot of wine, each flag army will give two stones of grain, four stones of the team officer, eight stones of the flag captain, and twenty stones of the 100-year-old. I think the reward for today's victory. The normal training will be resumed in the future and you must not slack off, otherwise the military law will be difficult to spare. Don't think that a victory can be achieved by winning a battle. Today's enemy is nothing more than a group of mobs, no matter whether it is a chaotic soldier or a bandit, which one is not stronger than these despicable bandits. If someone is arrogant and despicable, be careful of the military sticks that slap the soldiers!"
Although Min Yuanqi finally warned the soldiers to prevent these guys from really being proud of their military discipline, giving them wine and meat and resting for a day was a great grace for the flag soldiers.
The training in the military is quite strict and even a bit cruel. Although no one has died in training so far, many people feel that this is a matter of time sooner or later.
Whether it is training, running lap, or training in equipment fighting, the flag army requires all its strength to do. After every training, someone will be injured. When the flag army pounces on the bed, it will almost lose its strength to move its fingers.
But no one can relax, organize the housework, summarize the training, and have to participate in various small tutoring sessions above the team. Everyone feels miserable.
For many people, if there is no military law, salary income, and the threat in reality, I am afraid that I will really not be able to persevere.
It's strange that the first ten days of the first month were the most difficult, but the flag army that had persisted for more than one month would be very adaptable to this high-intensity training, including various strange regulations.
For example, when washing water before meals, queuing up to make meals, sitting up straight, everyone's tableware must be cleaned and arranged neatly, including towels, hats, and various utensils in their residence. There are certain rules for how to place them.
After entering the military camp, every outsider will be shocked by the neatness and order in the camp. Many people even feel that Min Yuanqi's various regulations are too strict and trivial, and even unnecessary strictness.
But Min Yuanqi persisted, and the remaining flag soldiers were completely adapted.
The flag army, who had been persisting for more than two months, is now difficult to adapt to the casual lifestyle of civilians for one or two days to go home.
