After Li Jiasheng came back, he came to Dusi Yamen without stopping.
Hou Shilu saw the smile that couldn't be concealed on Li Jiasheng's face and said lightly: "It seems that this trip has gained a lot. What exactly happened in the battle at Tuolingpo?"
Li Jiasheng took a sip of tea and explained what he learned in detail, emphasizing the role of iron ink.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, that brother Tie is a real person. He gives us more than a dozen war horses whenever he wants. This is a great help to us."
Putting down the brush in his hand, Hou Shilu stretched out his aching arms. He stood up slowly, his tall and straight posture giving people an invisible pressure. His sharp eyes revealed the fierceness of a warrior.
Hou Shilu's high position today is achieved by repeatedly performing military exploits and fighting with swords and guns. Perhaps he killed too much, and there is always an inexplicable hostility in him. Although he has cultivated his mind by studying ink and writing these years, he is still in the eyes of a tiger.
The brilliant light can never be hidden.
Every time Li Jiasheng saw Hou Shilu, he was afraid of looking into Hou Zongbing's eyes.
Walking up to Li Jiasheng with his hands behind his back, Li Jiasheng quickly stood up and said uneasily: "General Hou, why are you looking at the general like this?"
"Don't do anything, haha, I don't know if Tie Mo is an honest person, but you must be an honest person!"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Hou Shilu pursed his lips and did not answer. Instead, he talked about the Tuolingpo incident, "If you go by what you said, Tie Mo is a pretty good prospect."
"That's right, Mr. Hou, do you still remember Ba Zhuozi, the warrior of Chahar's Right Center Banner? This bitch is the one who led the army to plunder the west side of Zhangjiakou this time!"
After thinking for a moment, Hou Shilu remembered who Ba Zhuozi was.
"Ba Zhuozi? Of course you remember that he became very famous during the battle at Daqingshan three years ago!"
Hou Shilu had some impressions of Bazhuozi. Three years ago, there was internal strife in the Chahar tribe, and a melee broke out between several tribes in the Daqing Mountain area. In that battle, Bazhuozi killed ten men from the front banner of Chahar's left wing.
Later, Bazhuozi was named the best warrior on the right wing of Chahar. Later, the Chahar tribe went south to the grass valley several times. Bazhuozi also killed many Ming soldiers and became famous for his murderous reputation.
In the Wandu Department, Ba Zhuozi was on the top of the list.
"That's him. The military newspaper didn't mention one thing. The beast Bazhuozi was killed by Tie Mo!"
"Really? It seems like your new little brother has offended a lot of people!"
Hou Shilu sat down again, thought about it for about half a cup of tea, and then made a decision.
...
Two days later, two official documents were sent to Huai'an and Anzhuangpu respectively.
The battle at Tuolingpo was a fruitful one. General Banner Gu Chengliang accumulated merit and was promoted to the Hundred Household Examination, and was transferred to Huai'an for the post.
Tie Mo killed several people, and personally killed Ba Zhuozi, the first warrior on the right wing of Chahar. He made great contributions and was promoted to the rank of Wanquan Left Guard General Banner, Anzhuang Fort Armor Commander, and was rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.
In addition, Zhao Hou, Shi Hu, Xie Jia La and Han Niu'er also raised the flag for their merit and were rewarded with fifty taels of silver.
After this official document was issued, it can be said that some people were happy and some were sad.
Among them, Tie Mo benefited the most. He was promoted from a small soldier to the commander-in-chief by two levels. The most important thing is that he served as the commander of Anzhuang Fort. The commander-in-chief is still a virtual one. The position of commander is the real power.
, at least Tie Mo has the final say in matters regarding Anzhuang Castle.
Zhao Houhou and others were naturally very happy when they accumulated merit and raised the flag. No matter how small the flag is, it is still an official. This was something that they would never dare to think about before.
Compared with the happy look on Tie Mo's face, Gu Chengliang's mood was not so good.
Ordinarily, Gu Chengliang is already very powerful if he can get credit. He should be secretly happy if he can accumulate merit and be promoted to the Hundred Household Examination. But in fact, Gu Chengliang is not happy at all. It is true that he was promoted to the Hundred Household Examination, but he lost it.
The position of the armor commander of Anzhuang Castle.
When he was transferred to the Huai'an Office, there were several hundred households among the thousands of Huai'an Offices. What the heck was it for him to test out the Hundred Households?
Apparently I was promoted, but in fact I lost my real power. Isn’t this an overt promotion and a secret demotion?
The more Gu Chengliang thought about it, the angrier he became, and soon he mounted his horse and ran towards Huai'an.
At the Huai'an Guard Yamen, Gu Chengliang found his immediate boss, Wei Xiang, a householder in Huai'an. He complained as soon as he entered the door.
"Wei Baihu, you have to make the decision for me. If you really want to leave Anzhuang Castle behind, how much less will we make? All of our family property is in Anzhuang Castle!"
When he saw Gu Chengliang, Wei Xiang became furious. Before he could sit down, he cursed: "You still have the nerve to come. I'll go to all the trouble to give you a share of the credit. You can't live up to your expectations."
Who is to blame? I really want to help you, but how? Fifteen Tatar corpses are lying there, and the Dusi Yamen personally takes care of them."
"Humph, if I were you, I would just be a trial householder and make a small fortune in silence. If Dusi Yamen was more serious, do you think you can escape the crime of running away? I advise you to endure it and keep making trouble.
It’s not good for anyone.”
Wei Xiang's attitude was stern, and Gu Chengliang was a little dumbfounded. He squatted down in the chair and patted the armrest unwillingly.
"But...how to deal with the affairs of Anzhuang Castle? There are a lot of benefits for us there!"
"I think you are stupid. If you leave Anzhuang Castle, you won't be able to take care of things there? You have been in Anzhuang Castle for more than ten years, and you don't even have anyone who can use it?"
Wei Xiang stared with hatred, and if it wasn't about his own interests, he really wouldn't want to pay attention to Gu Chengliang.
Gu Chengliang got the reminder, slapped his forehead, and laughed like an epiphany: "Hey...yes, most of Anzhuang Castle is still my people, what are you afraid of?"
...
In just a few days, Tie Mo took Gu Chengliang's place in one fell swoop. As a result, he was given more names: Tietou, Iron Armor Chief, Iron Chief, Iron Chief Banner...
Early in the morning, I wandered over to Shi Hu's house, wanting to have a meal with Shiniang. As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw Shi Hu running out in disheveled clothes. Behind him, a woman was holding a wooden stick and cursing.
.
"Hanhu, stop here, you inexperienced thing..."
While running, Shi Hu didn't forget to take a bite of the cake in his hand, "Mom, what are you doing? I've told you so many times that I will give you a grandson in two years. But you insist on letting me follow
That little girl sleeps on the same bed, aren't you forcing her to hang herself?"
After listening for a while, Tie Mo knew what was going on. He let Shi Hu pass and quickly hugged Shiniang.
"Shi Niang, my dear mother, tell me why you are angry with him. Just calm down and wait for the boy to enlighten Brother Hu. He will figure it out after a while!"
Shiniang held up the wooden stick and shook the stone tiger at the door of the courtyard, "If you have the ability, get out and don't come back!"
"If you don't come back, you won't come back!"
Shi Niang stomped her feet angrily, "Why did I give birth to such a crooked child... This melon's head is crooked..."
"Ha..." Tie Mo couldn't help laughing, and helped Shiniang into the house, "Shi Niang, you have to take your time on this matter, what's the use of forcing him?"
"What can I do if I don't force it? You are pretending to be stupid, but he is really stupid. He said he would give birth to a child alone, and I am so angry!"
After having a meal at Shi Niang's place, Tie Mo left the house with a bloated stomach.
The task given by Shi Niang is not simple. It is definitely not an easy task for Han Hu to understand what giving birth is like!
