Chapter 34

Not only are there rewards for killing enemies, but there are also injuries.But it has to be the front of the body, and the back is stabbed, it seems to be running away, right?
Among the military rewards of the Ming Dynasty: killing one enemy soldier (obtaining the first rank), a general will be promoted to a higher rank, or 50 taels of silver.

To put it bluntly, for soldiers who want to be officials, this is a process of fighting monsters and upgrading: soldiers-five households-forty households-hundred households-thousand households-rank generals-guerrillas-sister generals-town generals-deputy commander-in-chief -General Soldier-Governor-Governor (left and right).

Of course, since it is a choice between the two, some people only want money and not officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, the most famous guy who asked for money but not officials was probably Man Gui.

This guy is a Mongolian, and he is very good at riding and shooting. Every time he joined the army, he would beheaded and cut off a lot of ears.

But I don't know if it's because of his family's difficulties, or because of other reasons, the leader has been exchanged for money.It was only when I was in my prime that I became a small general banner.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to be favored by Ji Liao Governor Wang Xiangqian, this guy would still be beheading his head in Xuanfu to earn money!It is estimated that by the time he retires, if this guy doesn't die, he can become the richest man in the Xuan Mansion by killing people.

Of course, 50 taels of silver was indeed a considerable fortune at that time.Converted into the currency of later generations, one tael of silver is about six hundred and sixty-six to seventy taels. 70 taels, um, nearly 50 yuan.

The key is that prices were not high at that time, and 50 taels was almost enough to buy a small courtyard in a bad location in the capital.

Therefore, beheading military exploits is still very tempting.If you cut one for [-], you will get a year's salary; if you cut two for [-], you will get ten...

It's just that beheading one's head to earn military merit is very difficult, and there are many disadvantages, which will be discussed later.

"Xiong Jinglue, it's your turn." The inner officer put away the edict, took a step back, and stretched out his hand to give way.

Xiong Tingbi cupped his hands, strode forward, and several soldiers in the audience got on their horses and got ready to make a circular report.

"Eastern captives are as cruel as wild beasts. If you break the city, you will be slaughtered. Shenyang and Liaoyang have already learned from the blood. Now that the city is closed, the enemy will attack in the future. There is no way to retreat. The only way to fight to the end is to fight for the safety of your wife, children and family. ..."

Xiong Tingbi's voice was much louder than that of the internal officials. Coupled with the repeated shouts of the guards, the officers and soldiers in the school grounds could hear them clearly.

"The state owns the country's laws, and the army has military regulations. Offenders will be severely punished..."

"Those who are afraid of death, kill!"

"Fleeers, kill!"

"Those who resist and do not obey the order will be killed!"

"Scream rioters, kill!"

"Those who confuse the army will be killed!"

...............

The ruthless and cold "kills" on the stage, and the repeated "kills" in front of and behind the body, are like cold wind piercing the face, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.

After Xiong Tingbi was shocked, he took two steps back and asked Gao Bangzuo, the prefect, to speak.

Wang Huazhen was temporarily suspended because of Sun Degong's rebellion, and was imprisoned in the house by Jin Yiwei.In Guangning City at this time, Gao Bangzuo was the highest-ranking civil servant.

Although through the interrogation, Sun Degong's subordinates have confessed, and have been convicted of Sun Degong's rebellion.But Gao Bangzuo was still a little entangled in the emperor's decree.

Therefore, he didn't say much when he came up, but just showed the python satin, silk satin, and silver taels taken from the warehouse to the officers and soldiers, and distributed them as rewards.

Of course, the reward for killing the enemy must be mentioned.In addition to the 50 taels of reward for killing a slave and building a slave stipulated by the imperial court, there are also five bolts of silk and satin rewarded by the Guangning government.

The next step is the highlight, which is also the power granted to Xiong Tingbi by Zhu Youxiao's secret decree, to kill people and build power.

It doesn't matter who to kill, of course it is Sun Degong and other traitors who sent their heads on their own initiative.

The bloody heads were hung on high poles and stood on the school grounds, which greatly frightened the officers and soldiers of the Ming army guarding the city.

Fear, sometimes makes people feel helpless, and sometimes makes people have great courage.Of course, there must be a brave man under the reward.

Acting both kindly and powerfully, Xiong Tingbi's tricks are quite smooth.

And among the [-] defenders, there are [-] strong men recruited from the city.After one day of emergency training, they were able to stab people with guns and cut people with knives, so they were assigned to various departments and practiced while fighting.

At the same time, the people in the city were also mobilized. Minyong was responsible for carrying supplies and rescuing the wounded, while the elderly and women were responsible for providing food and hot water for the defenders during wartime.

Three of the gates of the city were blocked, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.Putting them to death and then reviving them undoubtedly made the soldiers and civilians of Guangning City a little bit more aura of fighting against the enemy.

Strengthening the city defense, training soldiers, assigning officers to guard the city area, and setting up street fighting fortifications, after more than two days of preparation by Xiong Tingbi, the confidence of the Jin army increased greatly after repelling them.

Taking advantage of still being able to communicate with the outside world, Xiong Tingbi sent another 1000 troops to escort some weapons and military supplies to Youtunwei, as the backbone of suppressing supervision and stabilizing the defenders.

At this time, Donglu broke through Xiping Fort, rested and began to drive towards Guangning City.

Let us remember these names, as well as the heroes of the Han family who died heroically in the Battle of Xipingbao without leaving their names, and the three thousand Ming troops who were all killed in the battle.

Luo Yiguan, the deputy commander of the Pingliao Army, has a strong and upright personality and has many military exploits.

At the beginning of the Battle of Guangning, because Liaodong governor Wang Huazhen obeyed Sun Degong's advice, Luo Yiguan was able to defend Xiping Fort alone with only 3000 troops.

Donglu first attacked Xiping Fort and lured the Ming army to come to help. Then in the Battle of Shaling, the Ming army was defeated through the destruction of the traitor Sun Degong.

Subsequently, Donglu began to attack Xiping Fort with all his strength.Luo Yiguan went into battle in person, led the army to stand firm, and bombarded the Eastern captives with artillery, causing great losses to the Eastern captives.

Li Yongfang, a rebel general of the Later Jin faction, persuaded him to surrender, but Luo Yiguan sternly refused, "Don't you know that Yiguan is a righteous man!"

The enemy and our armies fought fiercely all day long, Luo Yiguan was shot in the eye by a stray arrow, although he was unable to fight, he still stayed on the top of the wall and continued to command.

In the end, the defenders ran out of gunpowder and arrows, and the city was captured by the Eastern captives.

Luo Yiguan bowed to the north on the city, uttered his last words: "The minister is exhausted!" Then he slayed himself and died.

After the city was broken, the fierce fighting in the street fighting continued for a long time.Participating general Hei Yunhe, capital officers Chen Shangren, Wang Chongxin, and [-] defenders died heroically for the country.

............... ..
"The minister is exhausted!"

Thousands of miles away in the imperial palace of the capital, Zhu Youxiao stopped in front of the sand table for a long time, staring at Xiping Fort without looking away for a long time.

Thinking of the figure in history who bowed to the capital and then calmly committed suicide, the short last words seemed to echo in his ears, and his eyes were moist and his nose was sore.

Trying not to shed tears, Zhu Youxiao secretly made up his mind: I will never let these heroes who spilled their blood on the land of Liaodong bleed and cry.

Xiping Fort is a lonely city, lost to Houjin in the field, there is no hope for reinforcements, and even he can't change it.As for Guangning City and Youtunwei, I will never let you repeat the same mistakes.

Turning his eyes, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at Denglai on the sand table and Phi Island near North Korea.

As a time traveler, of course Zhu Youxiao will not only have Xiong Tingbi's move.

The Quartet mobilized to harass Houjin so that he could not concentrate on attacking Guangning. Zhu Youxiao had already made arrangements.Counting the time, it's almost time.
