A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 240 Gift, Sword and Armor
Wang Dou followed Lu Xiang to the outside of the tent, and saw a proud eunuch standing outside, followed by several Jinyi guards, dressed in flying fish uniforms, with embroidered spring knives on their waists.There were more than a dozen Jingying soldiers accompanied by horses, all of them were fully armored and wore bright red cloaks and cloaks.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng and others coming out, the eunuch shouted again: "Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, Wang Dou accepts the order!"

At this time, there is no time to set up any incense table offerings. Headed by Lu Xiangsheng, everyone knelt down to receive the order, and all the soldiers in the camp also knelt on one knee and said in one voice: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Long live!"

Shino was in awe. The eunuch took a brocade box wrapped in yellow silk from a brocade guard next to him, and inside it was a box with a red lacquer and a gold pan dragon. He carefully took out the imperial edict wrapped in a yellow silk and dark dragon from the box, and sang loudly: "Feng Tian The Emperor Chengyun issued an imperial edict:... Slaves and thieves have brought disaster to the country, and the common people are devastated. All my subjects will gnash their teeth. Now I hear that Lu Xiangsheng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, has the strength to kill the thief, and the stone bridge has won a great victory. One handle, a golden rhinoceros girdle, a gold-woven unicorn round collar on the chest and back, 500 taels of silver inside, and twenty pairs of silver medals for rewards before the battle..."

Lu Xiangsheng was lying on the ground, already sobbing, extremely excited.

Wang Dou was lying behind Yang Guozhu, and when he heard Lu Xiangsheng's movement in front of him, he was also secretly happy for him.

Then the imperial decree praised Yang Guozhu again, bestowing a horse and silver, as well as a pair of leather hats and clothes with five silks. Wang Dou felt that Yang Guozhu's body in front of him couldn't help shaking.Then he was refreshed, and the imperial decree mentioned himself: "... Wang Dou, the guerrilla general of Baoan Prefecture in Xuanfu Town, bravely crowned the three armies, beheaded a thousand ranks, and defeated the arrogance of the fierce Hu. I am very happy! Give each a sword and armor, and inner money 200 taels of silver, passed on to the whole army and all the people, as a model..."

The eunuch talked a lot more, and finally said: "This is it!"

Wang Dou and the others stood up and shouted to thank you, while Lu Xiangsheng received the imperial edict respectfully with trembling hands.

He took Shang Fang's sword, flowers and silver, python satin and other gifts one by one. Lu Xiangsheng kowtowed his head and thanked him for each item. The eunuch handed over all the items and said to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile on his face: "Lord Lu, congratulations!" .”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly burst into tears, feeling that the grievances he had suffered these days were all worthwhile. He choked up and said, "Grandfather, please stay in the camp for a while. Lu will express his gratitude and trouble him to take him back to the capital."

The eunuch said: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

After Lu Xiangsheng hastily entered the tent, he looked around the camp with his hands behind his back, seeing the smiles of the soldiers in the camp, many of them almost jumped up, he snorted.His eyes rested on Wang Dou, and he said reservedly: "This is General Wang, right?"

Wang Dou clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "I have an inquiry from my father-in-law, and the last general will be right."

The eunuch scanned Wang Dou with his eyes for a long time, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "General Wang's two great victories have spread throughout the capital. The emperor ordered the beheaded slaves to be stacked in the West City to form a Jingguan, with The slave flag armor and other things were seized, and there were so many spectators every day, our family wanted to go to watch, but we couldn't squeeze in. The general is famous all over the world."

Wang Dou was overjoyed, but he still said: "This is all due to Lu Duchen and Yang Junmen's mighty prestige, and the final general will not take credit for it."

The eunuch hummed: "Don't be arrogant or impetuous, the future of the general is limitless."

All the people around looked at Wang Dou with great envy. Yang Guozhu stood beside Wang Dou, feeling equally happy and envious in his heart.It is the highest expectation of a warrior to leave a name in a hundred battles. As the commander-in-chief, he was honored by Wang Dou, was commended by the emperor, and was rewarded with horses and silver.

Hu Dawei was happy for Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou, while Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, glanced at Yang Guozhu with extreme jealousy, but it was a pity that there was no such brave general as Wang Dou in his town.He looked eagerly at the horse that the emperor had given to Yang Guozhu. The horse was red all over and looked extremely handsome. He had never seen such a horse in Datong Town.

Seeing that Yang Guozhu couldn't put it down, he and his Chinese army general Guo Yingxian turned left and right around the horse, and laughed openly from time to time, and finally snorted coldly.

……

Soon, Lu Xiangsheng came out and handed a letter to the eunuch. The eunuch was all smiles, but when he turned to leave, there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Dou understood the reason, it was because Lu Xiangsheng didn't thank him.This time, Emperor Chongzhen gave Lu Xiangsheng 500 taels of internal money, 300 taels to Yang Guozhu, and 200 taels to himself.At that moment, Wang Dou quietly handed over the silver box to Lu Xiangsheng's relative, Chen An, and asked him to hand over the silver to the eunuch.

Chen An patted his forehead, gave Wang Dou a grateful look, and hurriedly chased the eunuch with the silver box in his arms. Wang Dou saw what they said, and saw the dark and sullen eunuch turn his anger into joy. , happily holding the silver box and leaving the camp.

Lu Xiangsheng was still in agitation and didn't notice this matter, but Hu Dawei, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and others noticed it, and Yang Guozhu nodded repeatedly, with an expression of approval on his face.

Lu Xiangsheng excitedly summoned all the generals in the tent to give consolation and lectures, and asked them to return to the camp to recruit soldiers to gather, and he himself wanted to read the emperor's imperial edict in public.

Wang Dou's Shun Township Army camped in the east, at this time Wang Dou was only surrounded by his own general Xie Yike and a group of guards.

When Wang Dou returned to his camp, he summoned all the generals and passed on the imperial decree to the three armies, everyone was excited.The emperor finally found out about the great victory of beheading, and rewarded him so much, everyone shouted the emperor's sage.

Under the crowd watching, Wang Dou also put on the armor and sword bestowed by the emperor himself.The armor is extremely fine, with a crimson shirt inside, which can be worn in both cold and heat.Each piece of the outer armor leaf has been tempered and shines brightly. It can be said to be a set of steel armor, which is light and fit, and has strong protection.There are red and green robes on the outside of the armor, which are extremely bright, and then they are tied with a cloak and a large cloak, and they wear an imperial-given fine steel sword that cuts iron like mud, making Wang Dou look extremely energetic, and everyone below swallowed. .

Wang Dou posed a few poses by himself, which felt good, but unfortunately he didn't have a camera, so he couldn't preserve his heroic appearance for future generations to admire.

……

More than 1 people from the three towns of Xuanda gathered westward outside the camp. On the temporary high platform in front, Lu Xiangsheng stood on the platform and read out the imperial decree loudly. Behind him, a group of army staff stood densely and praised the painting.Sweeping away the past decline, Lu Xiangsheng was in high spirits, and his voice spread far and wide.

The sergeants who seemed to be covering the ground in the audience were all looking in his direction, everyone's faces were full of spirits, and the news of the emperor's imperial decree to reward them was very encouraging to them.The earth was silent, except for Lu Xiang's ups and downs, there were bursts of cold wind howling like wolves.

After hearing the imperial decree's message to Wang Dou, the guerrilla general of Baoan Prefecture in Xuanfu Town, that the three armies commended him, everyone's eyes were on Wang Dou's side.With this imperial decree, the name of General Xuan Zhenwang will be spread all over the world.

Wang Dou stood quietly, surrounded by a forest of swords and guns, and a cloud of flags and flags, especially the soldiers of Shun Township Fort, all of them stood upright with their chests and belly protruding, and everyone's face was full of pride.Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's voice, and the eyes of all eyes, Wang Dou secretly exhaled.

I changed my destiny, made my life more colorful, and changed a part of Lu Xiangsheng's destiny. Can I control the future?

At some point, Lu Xiangsheng's voice stopped, and a voice came out from somewhere in the army: "Long live!"

Immediately, the sound merged into a roaring tsunami, approaching Wang Dou's side.

Without hesitation, Wang Dou raised his arms and shouted along with the crowd: "Long live, long live, long live!"

……

That day Lu Xiangsheng was full of energy, he gave loud lectures and encouragement on the high platform, and made a blood alliance with all the generals, determined to beat the captives hard, Wang Dou also drank a big bowl of blood.

On the spot, Lu Xiangsheng also distributed the silver taels bestowed to him by the emperor to the soldiers, and he did not keep a tael.

All the troops were in high spirits, but considering that Xuan Da's army had been hungry and exhausted for a long time, the tens of thousands of troops still had to rest for a whole day under Baoding City.It seems that Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, heard the news of the emperor's decree, and invited Xuanda's army to rest in the city. He also sent people to send two hundred shi of grain and ten pigs and sheep.

Lu Xiangsheng took the food, grass, pigs and sheep, but coldly ignored Zhang Qiping's invitation to enter the city.

He has made up his mind to go south to look for Qing soldiers to fight. For the past few days, he has called all the generals to discuss matters and discuss the matter of fighting against the enemy.

Every time Wang Dou is present, he is now a celebrity in Xuan Da's army, the emperor praises him for being the champion of the three armies, and passes on the awards. This kind of honorary title is not something that can be obtained casually.Every time Wang Dou goes outside the camp, everyone he meets is either adoring, admiring, jealous, or unconvinced, and even more people seem eager to challenge.

For those who want to challenge, Wang Dou certainly has no interest in paying attention to it. He is good at the army, and being brave in the three armies refers to the ability to command and fight, but he has no interest in single-handedly fighting anyone.Although I'm not afraid to single out Wang Dou, I haven't fought with anyone for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy, but now my status is different, and I can no longer be the same as a soldier before.

Every time Wang Dou went to tents, everyone greeted them with smiles. First, Wang Dou sent food thousands of miles away, and the soldiers in the towns were grateful. The respect of the people is like this in the army. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the good news is constant, which is naturally admirable.

At the same time as the generals greeted and sent off, Wang Dou also found that there were many good things in the armies.

Take Lu Xiangsheng’s Supervision Battalion as an example. Although there are only a few hundred people left, they are equipped with a large number of excellent bird guns and three-eyed guns. Five, all six-pounders.

Self-generated fire blunderbuss and Lumi blunderbuss Wangdou are still working hard to study, but there are so many equipments in the standard supervision battalion.According to Lu Xiangsheng's relative, Chen An, the Lumi blunderbuss has been used in the battalion for several years, and the newly-made self-generating blunderbuss has also been used in the army for more than a year.

The Lumi gun has a range of 150 steps. Although the muzzle is small, it has a strong armor-piercing ability when facing the enemy a hundred steps away.Wang Dou also took a Lumi blunderbuss to watch. The body of the blunderbuss was heavy, and it was indeed a double-layer barrel.

Of course, Chen An cherished the Lumi blunderbuss very much, but when it came to the self-generating fire blunderbuss, Chen An said helplessly that although this blunderbuss was much more convenient than the bird blunderbuss and did not require matchsticks, it also had many defects. , It is only used as a test against the enemy's battlefield.

The soldiers in the Supervising Biao Battalion, in terms of personal bravery, I am afraid that there is only one in their own army who can not be compared.

Wang Dou secretly rejoiced that fighting in the army does not depend on personal bravery.

A few days later, Lu Xiangsheng led more than 3000 Xuanda generals and soldiers, and left the city of Baoding in a mighty force, looking for Qing soldiers to fight.
