At the foot of Ganjun Mountain, in the Chinese army's tent, Gansu Governor Yu Zhizhen, Military Counselor Lin Tailai and a group of generals participating in the war were celebrating.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Agriculture of Bu Shitu, whose pastoral area was located in the north of Gansu, colluded with Huo Luochi, a giant Hailu bandit, in an attempt to forcefully pass through the Hexi Corridor and go south to join Huo Luochi.
Under the planning of Counselor Lin, this battle was set up in an ambush at Ganjun Mountain, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Agriculture was destroyed. According to preliminary statistics, more than 600 people were beheaded, and no human beings or livestock were captured.
Only Bu Shitu and Jinong's family escaped from the battlefield under the desperate cover of their personal guards.
Now that the battlefield has been cleaned and there are no enemies around, the civil and military officials participating in the battle begin to drink and celebrate.
Lin Tailai, who had brought everyone victory and meritorious service, was very popular. He and Governor Yu humbled each other for a while and sat side by side at the head of the table.
Halfway through the wine, Zhang Wen, the Zuo protector, hurried in again and whispered a few words to Lin Tailai.
Then Lin Tailai accused Governor Yu, got up and walked out.
Governor Yu asked the guerrilla general Dayun in confusion: "What did Counselor Lin do?"
As the person who knew Lin Tailai best in this large tent, Da Yun replied quietly: "He may have gone to get the head of Jinong, the lost rabbit."
Governor Yu looked confused. Did Dayouzhi drink too much? Why don't you understand what you meant by Dayouzhi at all?
The battle has been fought and the battlefield has been cleaned. Where did the head come from?
Not long after, Lin Tailai was suddenly seen returning to the tent again, still holding the heads in his hand, and there were not just one, but three heads.
Governor Yu was surprised and asked: "Is this head really a fortune teller?"
Lin Tailai replied: "It's not just the divination rabbit that helps the farmers, but their family of three! They are all neat and tidy!"
Governor Yu asked in astonishment: "Where did the head come from?"
It's not that he thought Lin Tailai was fabricating a false report. A young dignitary like Lin Tailai wouldn't be like this, but it would be too strange to suddenly behead him at this time, right?
Lin Tailai thought for a while and replied seriously: "I sent my servants to pursue and search, and found the escaped Bu Shitu Jinong family. The credit goes to me."
Governor Yu: "."
It's better to believe Lin Tailai's words, otherwise we can't explain these three heads.
Dayun grew up in Gansu since childhood and served in the army in a border town for twenty years. He is very familiar with the situation of various ministries around Hehuang.
He looked at the head of Jinong, the fortune teller, and said with emotion: "There should be only two governors Tongzhi who canonized the captives in the Ming Dynasty, but they were all beheaded by Counselor Lin."
Then Dayun pointed to the head of Bu Shitu Jinong and said: "During the original peace negotiation, I was granted the title of King of Shunyi by Tumute tribe, and Ji Neng of Aoerdu Division was granted the title of Governor and Tongzhi, second only to Shunyi.
king.
Jinong, the fortune teller, is the eldest grandson of Ji Neng. He inherited the honorary title of Governor Tongzhi and was appointed Jinong of the Three Major Departments of the Right Wing."
Then Dayun continued: "Walata Bu Nang, who was previously beheaded by Counselor Lin in Xining, was nominally a member of the Wanhu tribe of Yong Shao Bu tribe, one of the three major right-wing tribes, and was also granted the title of Governor Tongzhi.
Why they dare to cause chaos may also have something to do with their self-esteem.
But it is a coincidence that the governors and magistrates representing the two departments, namely Aoer Dusi and Yong Shaobu, were both beheaded by Counselor Lin this month."
When the civil and military officials in the big tent heard Dayun's explanation, they couldn't help but respect Lin Tailai in awe.
Although the Beilu were fragmented, there were hundreds of tribal leaders, each in charge of their own tribes.
The roles of Jinong and Wanhu are now just symbolic names and do not have substantive power to rule. They can only manage the subordinates directly under them.
But after all, bloodline and identity are here, and it may have appeal at a certain time.
Counselor Lin killed tens of thousands of households in the Yongshaobu tribe, and the Aoerdu division helped farmers. This achievement is truly unmatched.
Lin Tailai himself could only smile bitterly. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he could not put them into words.
Was it Lin Tailai who wanted to kill these two unlucky guys with high nominal status, Walata Bu Nang and Fortune Rabbit Jinong?
He, Lin Tailai, is just a credit-earning machine with no affection.
Someone else chatted and said: "With just one giant chieftain from the Tumed tribe of King Shunyi's headquarters, Counselor Lin can gather all 30,000 households on the right wing of the northern barbarians, that is, three major tribes can be killed in three consecutive attacks."
The words had already reached his lips. Without pretending to be sorry for the audience, Lin Tailai held a large bowl of wine and said calmly:
"Last spring, when I was in the grassland to mediate the issue of King Shunyi's invasion of the country, I helped Mrs. Zhongshun kill Lao Anda's eldest grandson, Lalik. Is this a giant chieftain with the level of lord of ten thousand households in the Tumut tribe?"
Everyone: "."
This wave is really so solid that I can't even dodge it!
The eldest grandson of Anda of the Tumote tribe, the former titular lord Chalik, the eldest grandson of Ji Neng of the Aoerdu division, the former titular lord Bu Shitu Jinong, the former nominal lord of the Yongshao Bu tribe Walata Bu Nang, the lord of 30,000 households Sanlian
cut?
In order to facilitate the unified command of the overall situation, Governor Zheng Luo temporarily moved to Jincheng, which is slightly centrally located.
But as soon as the temporary camp was settled in Jincheng, an urgent report was received from Yu Zhizhen, the governor of Gansu.
At first, Governor Zheng subconsciously thought that something had happened again, but he did not expect that it was still a great victory.
Looking at the battle report, Governor Zheng simply doubted life and felt an unreal feeling that seemed to be separated from reality.
This Ganjunshan victory was the same as the previous Xining victory. It was simply incompatible with the overall situation of shrinking defense and resuming training.
It's not that Governor Zheng is narrow-minded and doesn't want others to make meritorious deeds, but it just feels weird.
How should I put it? These two great victories seemed to appear out of thin air for no reason, without any rules or reason, and were abrupt and abrupt.
Originally, in Governor Zheng's plan, such a great victory would only be possible after two or three years of training.
There was nothing going on in the direction of Xining for the time being. Feng Feng was on duty. Governor Shi came to Jincheng to report his work to Governor Zheng and asked for money and food rewards.
If there is no reward for the great victory of more than 800 beheadings, the officers and soldiers will definitely be dissatisfied.
In the border town area, the consequence of dissatisfaction between the officers and soldiers is likely to be mutiny.
Seeing Governor Zheng in a daze holding the battle report, Master Shi asked: "What do you think about making the platform?"
Governor Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I seem to have seen a big southern banyan tree suddenly grow out of the dry Gobi Desert. Do you think it's strange?"
Although Lin Tailai had passed the martial arts examination and served as a military attaché for a few days, he had never seriously practiced in a border town, nor had he ever commanded a serious battle except for mutinies.
But just this month, he suddenly used his troops like a god, winning consecutive victories, and even killed the chiefs. What kind of natural god general is this?
Master Shi only said three words softly: "Han Derang"
These three words immediately silenced Governor Zheng, and he even felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
What kind of world is this? The decades of qualifications, experience, and wisdom I have accumulated are not as good as a few pillow sex?
Let’s get down to business quickly. Master Shi pressed again: “About the rewards for the great victory in Xining?”
Zheng Luo came back to his senses, frowned and said: "The former Tao River was defeated twice, and the losses were heavy. Money and food are needed everywhere. Now the treasury is too tight."
Moreover, Governor Zheng did not expect a great victory at all, and was completely unprepared for the reward of silver and supplies.
Mr. Shi added: "I heard that the imperial court had previously allocated 100,000 horses in silver from Taipu Temple."
Governor Zheng replied helplessly: "There are so many uses for this money, and everything is important.
For example, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town paid homage to his father and son, and led 3,000 elite soldiers from Ningxia Town to support him, asking for 10,000 taels of silver as a reward."
Master Shi begged for a few words, but still to no avail. He could only say: "Let's talk to the editor after Counselor Lin returns from sending the captives out of the country!"
