Chapter 455

After Geng Zhongming fell asleep, he was held down by several of his soldiers, tied him up and sent him to the Ming army's barracks.

Geng Zhongming never expected that he would be betrayed by his closest confidants. They were all from the same village. He always treated him well, and he took them with him no matter what he did. At the most critical moment, he betrayed him and sent him to Mingjun to receive a reward. He was so angry that he cursed.

Whether these personal soldiers were ashamed or had other ideas, they stuffed a magnolia group into Geng Zhongming's mouth, they tied him up, then found a wooden stick, lifted him up, like carrying a fat pig, and walked into the Ming army's barracks.

Although it was already late at night, the Liu family army's camp was brightly lit now, because they only solved the battle at night. Now it was time to celebrate victory and reward the army. In addition, Liu Bu led a regiment of reinforcements to arrive, which made the entire military camp very lively. Bonfires and torches were lit everywhere, just as daytime. When Geng Zhongming's four personal soldiers sent Geng Zhongming to the gate of the barracks to explain their purpose, the general Mao Shengli was on duty. He heard that Geng Zhongming was arrested, and immediately drooled and quickly ordered people to come and identify them. On the one hand, he immediately reported to Liu Bu.

Liu Bu arrived all the way, his legs were getting a little bit broken, and his butt was a little bit broken. As a result, he had just entered the Central Army camp and took a hot bath under the servitude of Liu Kang. While soaking his feet comfortably, he was soaking his feet comfortably while obeying the latest military information of several officers around him. At this time, Mao Shengli hurriedly left and came in to report the great news to him.

Liu Bu was overjoyed and said, "It's time for everyone to live!"

They successfully defeated Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's army. If the two generals were captured alive, the matter would be perfect. Moreover, the two of them had done many evil deeds and did countless evils in the East Three Mansions. If they were captured alive and sent back to the East Three Mansions, it would be a great improvement to the prestige of the Liu family army, so he would promise a reward of 10,000 taels.

The 10,000 taels he promised did play a huge role. Their night-buying and the spy troops could not catch Geng Zhongming, a cunning fish that escaped the net. However, the people around him were greedy and tied him up and sent him to exchange for money.

When they heard Geng Zhongming being arrested, the other generals were also very happy. Everyone cheered. The matter was a perfect end. What they were worried about was that Geng Zhongming fled back to Fuzhou and defended himself in Fuzhou City with the remnants of defeated soldiers, which would also bring them a lot of trouble.

Mao Shengli smiled and said, "Geng Zhongming is also a cunning person, but he was betrayed by the people around him and tied up for money. These people are not good birds. Why don't we save them 10,000 taels!" He made a neck-cutting gesture, which means that by killing these four personal soldiers, he could save a lot of money.

Liu Bu said disapprovingly: "The reward order was issued by me personally. Isn't my reputation worth ten thousand taels of silver?"

The most real thing these days is. Whose fame can be worth ten thousand taels of silver? But Liu Bu knew that he wanted to save 10,000 taels of gold and wood when he established authority. It was indeed a good thing to save 10,000 taels, but it would give people a feeling that he was not keeping his word. Liu Bu now has to command thousands of troops, and what he said was a golden rule, just like a slut, so that others would accept him.

Since Liu Bu has made his statement, others dare not have any other ideas. Liu Bu slapped the armrest of the chair and said loudly: "I will promote this matter vigorously." Liu Bu was also worried that his subordinates would covet the rewards of these people, and intercept them halfway, which would lose the effect of his publicity. So Liu Bu decided to reward these four personal soldiers on the spot and ordered them to wear red and green to parade and boast about the entire military camp, list them as heroes, and also issued official guilds and backgrounds. These people have transformed into good people.

Liu Bu wants to promote such things, and he wants everyone to know that Liu Bu keeps his word, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, as long as he promises, he will fulfill his promise.

Others did not understand why Liu Bu did this. Liu Bu then made a notice, which was to order his marching clerk to issue a series of reward orders. From Huang Taiji to various senior officials in Jiannu, he made rewards one by one. As long as someone arrested these people alive or came with heads, there were rewards to varying degrees.

For example, the most valuable person was Huang Taiji. They promised a reward of 100,000 taels of silver. No matter who could capture him alive, it would be 100,000 taels of silver, and 50,000 taels of death. Then, officials and generals at all levels all promised the value of the famous text.

What is the benefit of this? This benefit is that when Jiannu was in power, he had no use, but when Jiannu was defeated or there was chaos, some people would think of using the heads of these people to exchange for money.

You should know that all races outside the pass have always been powerful opponents of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the main opponent of the Ming Dynasty was the Mongols. Later, the Mongols declined and Jiannu rose. The main enemy was Jiannu. In the past, the Ming Dynasty gathered the power of the entire Nine-side, and the main opponent was the Mongols. Now, the power of the entire Nine-side is Jiannu.

When they were working hard to deal with the Mongols, in order to weaken the strength of the Mongols, they tried every means. One of them was to acquire the heads of the Mongols with a large sum of money. As long as the heads of the Mongols could be cut off by the military or the people, they could remember military merits and reward for forty taels of silver. Forty taels of silver is equal to the four-year military pay of an ordinary soldier? It is a very high reward, and many bounty hunters who specialize in hunting the Mongols. Even the Jiannu Juren in the Northeast have done such activities. Among the goods sold to the Ming Dynasty, the heads of the Mongols are also one of the main commodities.

When the Mongols began to be suppressed and Jiannu began to rise, the Ming Empire no longer acquired the Mongol heads, but instead acquired the Jiannu heads. As a result, many Mongolians specialized in hunting Jurchens as a job. For example, in Burigude, they did almost the same thing.

But the Ming Dynasty was really too scammers. When they saw the Mongolians sending Jiannu's heads continuously, deepening their financial burdens, and there were many people who killed good people and took rewards, they asked them to cancel such a policy. Once such a policy was released, many Mongolians and people who made their living by this made a complaint, and the result was that they pushed them to the Jiannu's part.

Now with the rise of the Liu family army, Liu Bu thought this one was very useful. For him, it was just a matter of money. As long as you pay, you could kill a Jiannu. This is worth it.

If he really could kill Jiannu just by spending money, he was completely willing to do this. You should know that Jiannu's plan was not more than 200,000 yuan. If each person was only worth 40 taels, he could destroy them by paying 8 million taels. This is worth it. He was completely willing to pay this amount. He could do this several times in the incubation of silver.

Therefore, the court no longer offered a reward, while the Liu family army and others offered a reward of heavy money, hoping to suppress and eliminate Jiannu to the greatest extent.

Now he has expanded this business and rewarded many famous generals and famous people among Jiannu. He knew that there are people in the world who can do anything for money. For example, he is very glad that he issued this article early. Otherwise, Geng Zhongming would probably slip with his personal soldiers and let this big fish slip away, but this action was a lot worse.

Liu Bu did so many things just to let others know that the Liu family army is rich and willing to take the heads of Jiannu. As long as someone can get the heads of Jiannu, they can exchange them for money.

So he vigorously promoted such a thing for the same purpose. He analyzed these reasons to the generals, and everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Originally, they thought that the four personal soldiers around Geng Zhongming were also considered one of the Jiannu, and their heads could be worth 40 taels. They actually dared to use the heads of their leader for money with great courage. This was also against the sky, and they had to pay 10,000 taels for it, which was 10,000 taels. If they killed him, they would save 10,000 taels, and they would never mind.

Who knew that Liu Bu made the decision and they had to obey it. They all thought that Liu Bu's policies were done very well, and at least they could capture Geng Zhongming now.

After Liu Bu and his friends arrested Geng Zhongming, they formally believed that the situation and general situation in southern Liaoning had been decided, and they had already decided on the three guards in southern Liaoning, so they issued an emergency battle report and passed it to his father through Fei Ge's letters.

If the four guards in southern Liaoning were not completely captured and successfully gained a foothold here, they would not dare to report it, for fear of making unnecessary jokes.

In addition, their military operation was top secret. They did different things from other Ming troops. The other Ming troops fought small battles and wanted the whole world to know about it. They were doing it in a low-key manner. They sent troops in a low-key manner, approaching Jiannu in a sneak attack, and wiped them out.
