On He Zhang's way to the Governor's Mansion, although the scene in Huamachi Camp was busy, it was not chaotic. Everyone was performing their duties. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was well organized.
However, outside the Governor's Mansion, the core of Huamachi Camp, there was a chaotic scene, with crowds of people and no order at all.
Seeing this scene, He Zhang frowned at first, but soon understood the reason for the confusion.
Outside the Governor's Palace, there is a tall tower!
A tower made of hundreds of heads stacked up!
All are the heads of Mongol Tatars!
Next to the high tower where the heads were stacked, there was a narrow wooden fence, inside which were more than eighty prisoners. These prisoners were all in chains and looked messy, and they were all Mongolian Tatars.
Obviously, all this is Zhao Junchen's deliberate display, not only to show the authenticity of his military exploits and take the opportunity to establish prestige, but also to tell everyone that the Mongolian Tatars are not terrible and they will also be defeated!
It is precisely because Zhao Junchen allowed everyone in Huamachi Camp to visit without any obstruction, so there was a bit of chaos outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
All the heads of the Mongolian Tatars have been treated with lime, but now it is the autumn tiger season, and the weather is still sultry. With so many heads piled outside the door of the Governor's Mansion, the smell is naturally extremely pungent, and I am afraid that the interior of the Governor's Mansion will not be easy either.
But Zhao Junchen still had no intention of withdrawing.
After seeing the Mongolian heads and prisoners, He Zhang couldn't help but perked up, immediately got off his horse and hurried forward.
He Zhang is not only a veteran on the battlefield, but also one of the best brave generals in Shaanxi and Gansu. He has participated in countless battles in the past thirty years, but he has never had a record of beheading 600 people and capturing 80 in one battle. Now I have seen so many heads and heads.
The captives were inevitably a little excited and wanted to see it with their own eyes.
At this time, hundreds of people gathered in front of the prisoners and heads tower. Some people had seen these prisoners and heads before, and some people saw them for the first time, but everyone saw these heads and prisoners.
Afterwards, everyone was in high spirits, with excited expressions and lots of talking among themselves.
Most of the onlookers were ordinary low-level soldiers, but after He Zhang hesitated for a moment, he did not rely on his official position to drive away the crowd. He just squeezed into the crowd in a low-key manner and moved towards the front.
With the help of his private soldiers, He Zhang finally squeezed into the front line. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he carefully observed the head and prisoners in front of him. After a long time, he nodded lightly and said to himself: "The head and prisoners
It's all true. It seems that the imperial envoy Zhao did win a rare victory. Even if the figure of three to five thousand Mongolian troops is a bit watered down, it is not too much... I heard that the imperial envoy Zhao only had five people with him at the time.
I don’t know how the six hundred guards were able to win. After meeting the imperial envoy Zhao, I have to ask about this matter in detail. In future fights with the Mongols, there may be some lessons to be learned from this war."
And just as He Zhang was muttering to himself, three more people squeezed to the front of the crowd.
These three people are all of high status. Each of them is wearing the clothes of a hundred households. One of them is tall and has an extraordinary temperament. Although he is a military attache, he is still wise and elegant. His behavior is neither hasty nor slow, and he has the demeanor of a Confucian general;
The other person has a stout build, a temperament full of tenacity, a steady expression, and few words, giving people a sense of reliability; the last person has a slightly oily expression and a shrewd look on his face, looking like a soldier.
He is a character, but his eyes are full of sharpness and sophistication, but he is not an ordinary character either.
After seeing these three people appear, the surrounding border army officers and soldiers backed down one after another to make some space for them. It was obvious that these three people were quite prestigious among the border troops.
After these three people came to the front of the crowd, they also carefully observed the Mongolian heads and prisoners like He Zhang.
After a while, Baihu, a stout man with a steady temperament, was the first to speak: "Ruffian, you forced me and Zhang Cheng to see the heads and prisoners of the Mongolian Tatars. Now that we have finished watching, can we go back to the camp to do business?
?Now most of the private soldiers in Huamachi Camp are integrated together, and private soldiers from Ningxia and Yulin are coming one after another. As the leaders of the private soldiers, the three of us are under the great authority of the Imperial Envoy and are responsible for eight thousand private soldiers.
There are countless things to do about everything, but we can’t waste time because of things like this!”
After hearing what this Baihu said, the smooth-looking Baihu looked aggrieved and shouted: "Liu Manniu, you really don't know the heart of a good person. You have so many prisoners and heads.
, all of them are real Mongolian Tatars, which is not common. Now is the last day of public display. Tomorrow, the imperial envoy will send all these prisoners and their heads to the Ningxia military town for public display! You have been busy in the military camp these days.
, even if you come to the Governor's Mansion to report things to the Imperial Envoy, you will never stop. If you don't take a look, this rare scene will never be seen again! I pulled you here, but it's all for your own good!"
On the other side, the Confucian general-like Baihu said: "Manniu, I think brother Li Pi really has good intentions. In the past, we were the leaders of private soldiers under Shi Song, and brother Li Pi was under the command of General Zheng Yu.
Confidants, it is inevitable that there is some intrigue among each other, and there has never been any friendship. Now that the three of us go out together, it will also help to exchange friendship. After the private soldiers of Huamachi Camp are integrated, the three of us will be the main ones. If there is any relationship between us
Friendship and tacit understanding will be of great benefit in the future... What's more, Manniu, you have been working too hard these days to integrate the new recruits, so it would be nice to relax once in a while!"
Baihu named Li Pi nodded repeatedly and said with a playful smile: "That's right, most of the private soldiers in Huamachi camp have now joined the imperial envoy, not to mention the three thousand elite soldiers under your command after Shi Song was killed.
General Zheng also asked me to take 400 people to join the Imperial Envoy's new army. In this way, the new army was originally headed by the three of us. The troops under the three of us accounted for 10% of the new army.
As many as 80%, as long as we discuss everything properly... But now private soldiers from Yulin and Ningxia towns are joining one after another, and in the future there will be private soldiers from Guyuan and Gansu towns joining, with more and more people, and their origins are also unknown.
It’s getting more and more complex, and the three of us are gradually no longer the main force. At this time, it’s best to communicate more and have a tacit understanding and unity with each other. If there is a conflict with outsiders in the future, we are all from the Huamachi Camp, and we can also screw it up.
Become a rope."
After hearing what Li Pi said, Liu Manniu and Zhang Cheng both frowned subconsciously, as if they didn't quite agree with Li Pi's small-circle thinking.
After seeing the attitudes of the two men, before they could speak, Li Pi immediately changed the subject: "Besides, don't you feel excited and excited when you see so many heads and prisoners of Mongolian Tatars? I was
After seeing these heads and prisoners, I couldn't sleep all night, wishing that I had participated in it... Look at the comrades who followed the imperial envoy to the war. Now they are all prosperous. If I had participated in the war back then,
, maybe now he has become an official of Qianhu!"
Li Pi's topic successfully diverted the attention of Liu Manniu and Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng nodded lightly and said: "After seeing these heads and prisoners, it really makes people's hearts agitated. I wish I could immediately follow the imperial envoy Master Zhao and go into battle to kill the enemy and achieve miraculous feats!"
But Liu Manniu still had a cold attitude and said: "These heads and prisoners are all the achievements of others and have nothing to do with the three of us, so there is nothing to be excited about! The imperial envoy is now determined to fight the Mongols.
, instead of retreating like before, the new army of soldiers now has eight thousand people, and it will expand to more than 20,000 in the future. As long as we follow the imperial envoy, we will have many opportunities to establish military exploits in the future. If we achieve military exploits, we will also
It will definitely not be just a few hundred heads and dozens of prisoners. The imperial envoy led five or six hundred guards to have such military exploits. We will have to build at least ten times more military exploits in the future. By that time, how many heads will we have?
You can see it with the prisoners!"
Hearing Liu Manniu's statement, Zhang Cheng and Li Pi were both stunned, but immediately nodded in agreement.
The three people spoke quietly, but they did not deliberately hide their voices. He Zhang stood aside and naturally heard the conversation between the three of them.
He Zhang also admired Liu Manniu's statement, and at the same time he also understood the origins of these three people.
Liu Manniu and Zhang Cheng were obviously the private leaders of Shi Song, the former commander-in-chief of Huamachi Camp. Now that Shi Song was killed by Zhao Junchen, they and the three thousand private soldiers under Shi Song were taken over by Zhao Junchen!
As for Li Pi, he was the former deputy commander-in-chief of Huamachi Battalion and the leader of the private soldiers under Zheng Yu, the current commander-in-chief of Huamachi Camp. I heard that Zheng Yu gave most of his private soldiers to Zhao Junchen in order to join Zhao Junchen.
Therefore, Junchen was favored by Zhao Junchen and was promoted to become the commander-in-chief of the Huamachi Camp. Therefore, although the strength of Li Pi's troops could not keep up with Liu Manniu and Zhang Cheng, they should not be underestimated.
Thinking that these three people would join his command in the future and become one of the generals of the new fighting army, He Zhang's heart moved and he wanted to have a few words with them.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Perhaps Zhao Junchen had been inciting the border army soldiers to hate the Mongols these days. Suddenly, a border army soldier who was watching the prisoners shouted loudly, "Kill you sons of bitches!"
Then, the private soldier drew a dagger and rushed forward, really wanting to kill the Mongolian prisoners in the fence.
What's worse is that following this man's actions, the surrounding border soldiers were aroused and became angry. Everyone was ready to move, with murderous intent on their faces, and wanted to act together!

There are mixed reviews of Wang Feng on the Internet, but insects still like to listen to Wang Feng's songs. Although in the eyes of many people, listening to Wang Feng's songs will lower his style. Especially when you feel tired, frustrated, and helpless, listening to Wang Feng's songs is particularly satisfying.
Many of Wang Feng's lyrics are indeed wonderful, such as the one I just heard: "What a beautiful day it is/The sun is shining/The earth is boundless/I am meaningless."
