Chapter 1276: The Village of Loyalty and Braveness
Kill it, kill it!
Come again, kill!
Ben Kuan's decisive words were sonorous and powerful, but Jiang Hui and Bao An felt a sore nose and almost burst into tears. As soon as the county magistrate said this, it was equivalent to giving them a certainty in this battle. He had merits but no faults, and he had great achievements!
"Come, take the things over." Ben Kuan waved his hand, and the two government servants behind him immediately brought something covered with red silk over.
"Two, your village guards the border areas and fights for the country, is for loyalty. If you don't panic when encountering the enemy, kill countless enemies, and killing enemy generals on the spot, is for bravery. From today on, this village will be changed to Zhongyong Village!" He stretched out his hand and pulled away the red silk. The four gold-plated words of Zhongyong Village burned the eyes of everyone.
"After the war, the county government will build a archway outside your village. This plaque can be hung on it to pass on to future generations. The Zhongyong Village has been passed down from generation to generation. We should use loyalty and courage as our training and serve as the country's minions!" Ben Kuan raised his voice and said forcefully.
Jiang Hui bowed deeply, his face turned red, and he almost used all his strength to shout loudly: "A village of loyalty and courage, loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and for the country's minions!"
Bao An quickly stepped forward and picked up the plaque with Jiang Hui, one left and one right. Everyone showed envy on their faces in the surrounding villages.
The county prefecture and the county magistrate personally named a village, which is the first thing in Taoyuan County. This incident alone is enough to make Zhongyong Village firmly become the leader of all villages in the future.
"Zhongyong Village defends the country this time, and fights endlessly and suffers great losses." Ben Kuan continued: "When you should give a heavy reward, the county magistrate has submitted a memorial to His Majesty, asking for exemption from Yongyetian Yong from taxes for all villagers in Zhongyong Village."
With a bang, the representatives of the villages around who were already envious of themselves could no longer express their emotions in words. The county magistrate of Taoyuan was lenient when immigrating here because of the vast land and sparse population. Each of them had thirty acres of Yongye land. Although the tax on farmers in the Ming Dynasty was quite low compared to Qi Chu, over the past year, the tax on thirty acres of land was also a lot of money! What's more, these fields can be passed on to children and grandchildren, and children and grandchildren will continue to enjoy this discount.
"If the people who died in the battle for the country, each person will have a pension of 100 taels of silver. If the family has children but have not grown up, the county government will pay to raise the children of these people until they are sixteen years old. The pension of 50 taels of silver is for the disabled. In addition, if the winner of this beheading, the reward will be calculated separately."
"Thank you for your great reward!" Jiang Hui knelt down with tears in his eyes and knelt down to thank the villagers of Zhongyong Village. Although the village made great efforts in this battle, the harvest was beyond his expectations. It was really impossible to imagine.
"This is what you deserve, get up!" Ben Kuan helped Jiang Hui up and said to the representatives of the villages around him who were also excited: "My Taoyuan County is the border county. The people of Qi will never die. They have repeatedly poisoned my border villages. As long as each village fights to the end like Zhongyong Village, the people of Qi will be afraid of my Taoyuan and tremble when they hear me. As long as you can make meritorious contributions, the county government, the court, and your majesty will definitely not hesitate to reward me."
"Fight for the country, fight for the country, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" The officers and soldiers and villagers in Zhongyong Village roared in unison.
Wang Yun looked at Ben Kuan with admiration. The county magistrate cleverly used this sudden incident and immediately adjusted the emotions of the people of the county government to the highest point. First, he focused on the Qi people repeatedly harassed them, and then rewarded villages like Jiang Hui, so that these villagers on the border immediately became eager to imitate.
This trick is really enough to learn by himself. It can be said that when the Zhongyong Village incident spread, the fighting spirit of the entire Taoyuan County would rise to a terrible height immediately. He knew very well that the composition of the people in Taoyuan County was about one-third of the original Qin people, the other third were the barbarians of the year, and the last third were the surviving original Taoyuan County people. The first two were originally extremely aggressive. With this example, if the Qi people really wanted to offend the border this time, they were afraid that in addition to the Ming Dynasty's frontal battlefield, they would also have to face the endless harassment of these people.
Ben Kuan was very satisfied with the atmosphere he created. Only when the enemy was in front of him could he be united in order to enforce the order and put his strength in one place. Seeing Jiang Hui and Bao An still carrying the big plaque, he couldn't help but smile and said, "First find a place to collect him, and then you can hang him out after you finish this battle!"
"Yes, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir
"This is not my calligraphy. I can't write such good words." Ben Kuan said with a smile.
"Ah, it wasn't written by the county magistrate?" Jiang Hui couldn't help but show a little disappointment.
Looking at Jiang Hui's appearance, Ben Kuan laughed: "Your village is lucky. The person who wrote this word is very famous. My Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Xiao, is the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. It would be difficult for an idle person to ask him for a piece of calligraphy. This time, he happened to come to Taoyuan to inspect the school. After hearing about your affairs, he picked up his pen and finished these four big characters in one go. Are you not satisfied? Jiang Hui, let me tell you that after the archway is built, you can just expand these four characters. This piece of calligraphy can be used as a treasure of the village to pass on to the future generations!"
Jiang Hui was a little stupid. He didn't know the status of Old Man Xiao of the Ministry of Rites among scholars, but he still knew that the Minister of Rites in the Ming Dynasty must be older than the county magistrate. Didn't you see the county magistrate call him an old man? He nodded and carefully carried the plaque into the house.
Looking at their backs, Wang Yun said enviously: "Old Master Xiao rarely writes big characters and writes plaques. This time he came to Taoyuan. I actually had already asked for words and was criticized by the old man."
Ben Kuan laughed: "I have known this old man's temper for a long time and I don't want to ask for this."
"This old man is really hardworking now. Taoyuan County is now in danger. He actually has to go to the countryside to inspect the village and village schools."
"How can you not fight to the death? Didn't you see the emperor personally support the coffin when Mr. Wang passed away? Mr. Xiao went for this. He was already in his seventies and had nothing to ask for, only the name behind him."
"The emperor is really amazing!" Wang Yun sighed: "The emperor's honor of supporting the coffin and sending spirits has made Mr. Xiao devote all his enthusiasm and connections to the school. Is this old man usually able to invite him?"
"Compared to the emperor holding the coffin and sending the spirits, what Mr. Xiao really can pass on to the future generations is that he has been committed to the cause of reading and reading in every family over the years." Ben Kuan said, "I think Mr. Xiao will understand in the future. Of course, maybe he already understands it now."
"Every village has a lot of sounds of reading and reading, which is really a great goal." Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty's heart is so big."
"How can we lead us to the present and then go further?" Ben Kuan smiled and patted Wang Yun and said, "General Wang, let's encourage each other!"
"mutual encouragement!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them felt resentful.
A sudden sound of horse hooves came from the road outside the village. A small team of cavalry came in a breeze and lightning. Seeing the flying flag, Wang Yun smiled and said, "Li Xiaoya is here."
Li Xiaoya, the commander general of the second pure cavalry battalion of the Ming Dynasty, after forming an army, was assigned to Wuling War Zone, and is now stationed in the Changzhu area.
Compared with Yu Chao, Li Xiaoya is younger and his twenties makes him particularly prominent among the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Among the many senior generals, only Mahou is younger than Li Xiaoya. However, Mahou is more because he is Qin Feng's personal guard commander and has close relationships. However, when he is promoted, he is strongly relied on military achievements and fights with one sword and one shot. The child born to the maid of the Li family in Yuejing City has now become the existence that the Li family looks up to.
Before the people arrived, laughter had already come.
"Mr. Ben, General Wang, where is the guy who shot the Qi royal family with a crossbow? Let me take a look. I'm in Changzhu, I'm going out every now and then, but I've killed a Qi general. He can actually kill such a big man. Haha, this luck is so great. Let me see him and share his luck. Maybe I can kill Xian Bisong next time." After the words came, the man had arrived, turned over and fell off his horse, stood in front of the two, holding his fists, "Li Xiaoya has met the Bin County Governor, General Wang."
"General Li is still so hot." Wang Yun glanced at the more than a hundred cavalry who stopped apart from them for more than ten steps, and his face was a little shocked. He saw the speed they were running towards him just now, but it was not something that ordinary people could do if they stopped. Li Xiaoya was almost half of her age, but she had the same status as her. It was not a blessing.
"It will be seen later!" Ben Kuan smiled and said, "General Li has arrived. Even if we are working together, it may take a few days for General Wuling to reply, but we must prepare first. Since we are gathered today, let's discuss what preparations we should make first. Wu Zhengting has given affirmative information, and the Qi people are indeed going to fight. This time, he stabbed the hornet's nest and Xian Bisong fought one by one, so it's hard to explain!"
