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

Chapter 300 I Just Belittled Wang Dou
Following the sound, came up a group of Shaanxi military generals in full armor. The leader was a middle-aged general with a very strong body. His figure can be described as square. Seeing this general, Wang Dou thought of Yang Guozhu's Chinese general Guo Yingxian.

He came up like a crab, his armor was worn out, and even the cloak and cloak had several big holes.The generals behind him also seem to be the representatives of the disheveled image, all of them are wearing old armor, not to mention that they cannot be compared with the bright armor and clothing of the generals of the Beijing camp, even the armor and clothing of Xuanda's officers and soldiers are also brighter by several levels. .

Seeing them coming up Ding Ding Dangdang, Wang Dou thought to himself: "Following Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, he also called himself surnamed He, and behaved wildly. This general can't be He Renlong, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, right? He is famous in history." figure."

The middle-aged strong man came up and said to Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei: "So, the governor of Shaanxi Province, He Renlong, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi. The bandits gave me a nickname: He Crazy. The two generals called me Lao He It's fine, so is Crazy He, they're all brothers, call them whatever you want."

Afterwards, all the generals behind him also greeted Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Dou and others in a hurry.

"So-and-so, the governor of the department, Zheng Jiadong, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan."

"So-and-so, the governor of the department, Niu Chenghu, the commander-in-chief of Lintao."

"The last general, Shaanxi deputy general Li Guoqi."

"The last general, Shaanxi guerrilla Gao Jie..."

Listening to this group of people's introduction, Wang Dou thought to himself, sure enough that strong man is He Renlong, who was born as a martial arts scholar in Wanli Year, history records that he was crazy in battle, very brave, the peasant army feared him like a tiger, and called him Madman He.

However, although He Renlong was brave in battle, he was extremely domineering. He was also a famous long-legged general. tidy.

In the Battle of Xiangcheng and Xiangcheng, he even abandoned his commander and fled twice, resulting in the failure of the battle and the killing of the two supervisors.

Moreover, He Renlong, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong are all from Mizhi, Shaanxi. After Zhang Xianzhong broke through the siege in the 13th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen suspected that he was secretly collaborating with the enemy and secretly ordered Sun Chuanting to hunt and kill him.On the first day of May in the 15th year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting arrested He Renlong and beheaded him.

A typical example of a military leader in the late Ming Dynasty, a representative of domineering and hard-to-control, if he fights side by side with He Renlong in the future, he must be careful that he leaves him and runs away.

This group of generals from the Qin Army came forward to salute Yang Guozhu and the others in disorder. Although some of them were chief soldiers, their chief soldiers did not have seals or titles, and their gold content was far inferior to that of Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei. .

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than [-] generals in the army, and there were only eight generals who were called generals in the seal of the general army. There were only two generals with the word "Zhen" as their titles. They were General Zhenshuo of Xuanfu and General Zhenxi of Yansui. .The rest start with the characters "Zheng" and "Ping".

The specifications of the generals starting with the word "zhen" are obviously higher than those of the generals starting with the characters "zheng" and "ping".In history, Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong fought for the title of "General of Peaceful Bandit".It can be said that Yang Sichang died on this general title.

Yang Guozhu is the general of Zhenshuo, Hu Dawei is the former general of Zhengxi, and he is taller than He Renlong and others.

When He Renlong and others see Yang Guozhu and the other two, they need to hold an official ceremony.

During the ceremony, Wang Dou also noticed a person's name: "Shaanxi Guerrilla Gao Jie?"

He looked over with both eyes, and sure enough, he saw a big man standing behind He Renlong and the others. Although he forced himself to show a respectful expression on his face, he couldn't hide the unruly look in his eyes.

Being among the generals in Shaanxi and following behind He Renlong, it seems that he is the Gao Jie in history.

It is rumored that he was originally a subordinate of Li Zicheng, and because of an affair with Li Zicheng's wife, he simply abducted the woman and surrendered to the army after the incident.Like Bai Guangen, both of them are generals of the peasant army. Bai Guangen has a fierce temperament and has never been restrained, while Gao Jie is even more violent.

Because Gao Jiesu cut his teeth for Li Zicheng, the Ming court sent Gao Jie to fight many times. In the next few years, he will be promoted from guerrilla to general soldier, and he will be added to the crown prince and Shao Fu, and his son Shi Jinyi will serve as a guard.In the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was granted the title of Bo Xingping, one of the four towns, and a figure similar to Zuo Liangyu.

Wang Dou's thoughts changed, Yang Guozhu was introducing Wang Dou for He Renlong.

He Renlong cast a sideways glance at Wang Dou: "Won the top three armies?"

He laughed strangely, and punched Wang Dou head-on.

When Wang Dou saw the look in his eyes, he was prepared, followed his fist, and fell him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

He Renlong lay sprawled on the ground, his expression seemed to be a little stunned, he was worthy of being a Wu Jinshi, He Renlong got up all of a sudden, and shouted strangely: "My boy, you really have two tricks, not bad."

Wang Dou clasped his fists and said, "I will offend you at last."

He shook his head inwardly, the title of being the champion of the three armies does not refer to fighting alone, those generals couldn't help but challenge him when they saw him, it was really helpless.

All the generals behind Wang Dou had smiles on their faces, Yang Guozhu was also complacent, he coughed lightly: "Guoqin, don't be rude to He Junmen."

He Renlong shouted: "It's okay, it's okay, my surname is He, I like heroes like General Wang."

Although he was thrown to the ground by Wang Dou, he didn't take it seriously. Seeing behind him that all the generals in Shaanxi were eager to try, especially the guerrilla Gao Jie who was coming in a crowd, he stopped him with a strange cry: "I have already tried General Wang's skill, you guys There is no need to go forward."

Seeing that these warriors had no body, Sun Chuanting frowned, his eyes swept over He Renlong, his expression was very displeased.Hong Chengchou laughed, and said to Chen Xinjia with his beard: "There are capable people under Governor Chen's command."

Chen Xinjia's expression was reserved, but he couldn't hide the pride in his tone: "General Wang's ability is not only in singles duels."

……

It was just now that Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia were preparing to have a banquet for Xuanda's generals in the supervising camp, but the banquet was interrupted because of the arrival of Hong Chengchou and others.At this time, Yang Sichang invited Hong Chengchou and others to have a banquet in his account to clean up the dust for them.

Hong Chengchou readily agreed to Yang Sichang's invitation, but Sun Chuanting expressed his desire to go and see the head of Dong Nu captured by Xuan Da's army, and the slave chief Yue Tuo and others who had been beheaded in a special array.For Sun Chuanting's request, Yang Sichang and Yang Sichang also wanted to show off and agreed.The generals of the Qin army who came with them couldn't wait to see what Xuan Da's army had achieved. Braving the cold wind, they entered the barracks of Yang Guozhu, Wang Dou and others not far away.

As soon as they entered the Xuanda camp, He Renlong and the others couldn't help but envy them. People said that the town soldiers were rich, and it was true.Not to mention that Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's officers and soldiers are all well-armed, and they are all extremely tough, especially the guerrilla general Wang Dou's subordinates... are even more powerful!
He Renlong and the others were surprised to see that many of the ordinary pikemen in Wang Dou's army were wearing iron armor, and the armor was very sophisticated, with iron helmets on their heads, and red cotton and wool cloaks made of high-quality materials to keep warm. And energetic, majestic.

The ordinary uniforms of their small army, in the eyes of the generals in Shaanxi, are all high-quality goods, comparable to the armor worn by their own generals.Seeing Wang Dou's extravagant and wasteful demeanor, He Renlong and the others grinned with envy and envy.

In terms of excellent and gorgeous armor, since the Beijing camp is the first, the Liao Town is the second, and the Xuan Town is the third, but it is the armor of the officers and soldiers of the Xuanfu Town. He Renlong and the others feel that they are like bumpkins entering the city. It's dull.

In the past, everyone could still use embroidered pillows and big straw bags to laugh at and comfort them, but now that Xuan Dajun has beheaded [-] people, it is obvious that the reason for this kind of ridicule can no longer be said.

Sun Chuanting was also more and more surprised, all the way into the camp, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town and Shanxi Zhenzheng Barracks were elite and powerful, but Sun Chuanting had a faint feeling in his heart that they were not as good as Wang Dou's soldiers.Looking at those soldiers of the Shun Township Army, he felt a majestic momentum, the kind of overwhelming momentum that seems to crush everything.

He has been in the army for a long time, so it is natural to know the strength of this momentum at a glance.

The confidence and arrogance on the faces of those soldiers also greatly surpassed those under the command of Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei.This kind of arrogance is not the kind of arrogance and arrogance that overestimate one's strength, but the self-confidence and pride that naturally arises after victories in bloody battles for the rest of one's life.

I didn't expect that a mere Xuanzhen guerrilla could let me see such a shocking scene.Sun Chuanting suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, that he had underestimated Wang Dou just now, and he had to dig out the inside story of this battle.

Hong Chengchou also had a dignified expression, his eyes were on Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei's face turned, and then Wang Dou's face.

Soon, everyone entered the place where the head was kept in the tent of the Xuanda army, and when they saw the head of the Qing soldiers like a hill, there were exclamations from time to time.From time to time, He Renlong picked up a Qing army's head to watch, sucking his nose incessantly: "Look at the teeth, look at the face, it really is the head of a Tartar... so many, there are really [-] heads."

All the generals beside him nodded desperately, and they also held their heads in their hands to look carefully: "The braided hair is not newly shaved, and the appearance is also different from our Ming people, they are indeed Tartars..."

They looked at each other from time to time, their eyes full of horror, killing [-] Tartars, how great a credit is this?It's not a bandit, it's a Manchurian Tartar.

Although they defeated Li Zicheng and others not long ago, in everyone's mind, the weight of beheading the Tartars is much higher than beheading the bandits.The ferocity of the Tartars has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and even the military rewards are several levels behind.

Since Emperor Taizu Gao killed one Tartar, ordinary sergeants were promoted to the first level, and those who did not want to be promoted were rewarded with 30 taels of silver, and it was increased to 50 taels during the Longqing period.But beheading six thieves can advance to a higher level, and those who don't want to be promoted will be rewarded with four taels of silver, which is a very different level.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting also turned around among piles of Qing army heads as if entering the Grand View Garden.

Seeing their confusion, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia glanced at each other, both showing complacent expressions.Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei rubbed their hands together, and they also laughed, their faces were extremely bright.Only Wang Dou looked calm, observing everyone's expressions calmly.

Looking at Yue Tuo's body, Luo Luohong and others captured, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were speechless for a long time.

Sun Chuanting caressed the dense gun barrels on Yue Tuo's body, and muttered in his mouth: "Amazing feats, astonishing feats!"

Hong Chengchou congratulated Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia again, and Yang Sichang laughed loudly: "My lords, let's go to the tent with the headquarters to have a banquet."
