Bailang's reward has also come down, not just for him. This time the Qing troops broke through the pass but gave up halfway, especially the "big defeat" at the gate of Yanzhou City. It was a rare victory since the Donglu Incident. Especially this year.
Since then, the disastrous defeat outside the pass has ruined the last nine edge elites and the governor generals. In the battle at Zhuxian Town, the Ming army was also defeated by the bandit Li Chuang, and even captured Kaifeng Mansion...
There was actually a great victory against the Donglu in the midst of the anxiety, which naturally made the court extremely happy. Even the current Emperor Chongzhen also had a few more bowls of rice.
Immediately, officials from the Ministry of War came to verify their merits, and the eunuchs who came out to announce the commendation couldn't wait to run over at the emperor's urging. This time, more than a hundred people were beheaded before and after the victory, but no men and women were robbed by the Eastern captives. It can be said clearly
This time the soldiers suffered a big loss. So everyone in Yanzhou Prefecture was promoted, and it was impossible to make a fortune - the court was severely short of money, so it had to give more rewards in official positions.
And since he had such a great victory through strategic planning, Emperor Chongzhen would inevitably seek medical treatment in a hurry. He intended to promote the chief officials of the Yanzhou Prefecture to the ranks of Beijing officials, so that they could take charge of the government to exterminate the bandits or resist the Eastern invaders. Therefore, he is the next one in the prefecture.
The series of civil servants really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Things after this exceptional promotion were not easy to handle. Bai Lang didn't care about the dilemma of those people. The father-in-law in front of him seemed to have quite a lot of status, but he was also a few steps away.
He walked over and wanted to hold Bailang's hand. "Ah, when I submit this document reporting the victory, almost no one in the civil and military circles in the court believes that such a warrior has appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Our family believes it, and we even congratulated the emperor on the surrender of the warrior to me.
Ming Dynasty, now I see that Bai Zhuangshi has indeed resurrected Emperor Guan!"
Bai Lang was stunned for a moment after these words, but he only remembered that the eunuch called himself Du, but he couldn't catch his name clearly, and his accent was quite strong. Eunuch Du began to read out the imperial edict, and the eunuch really sounded like it was written.
I was very excited. It seems that the emperor also asked the bachelor who was responsible for writing it to change it again and again. In short, it sounded like Bailang had unparalleled loyalty and courage, and then gave him the title of Yanzhou Qianhu, and his rank was changed to garrison.
Now Bailang has directly transformed from a white man to a hereditary Yanzhou Guard Qianhu. However, he still does not have a single soldier under his command. Even though his battalion head is listed in the imperial edict and the Ministry of War, there are no soldiers... and
The next letter was a transfer order from the Ministry of War. A member of the Yanzhou Guard Qianhu and his elite troops were transferred to Governor Deng to obey the order and exterminate the bandits. "Is this Governor Deng promoted? He became governor at once?" Bai Lang was also surprised.
, I didn’t expect that the promotion speed of beheading people would be really fast.
Now he has lost his maces to the Qing soldiers, and it may take some time to get them back. Bai Lang also sighed - Governor Deng wanted to ask the Ministry of War to make a pair of maces for him, but Bai Lang still declined. "
Let’s use a knife this time. Anyway, the use of an iron mace is quite similar to that of a knife - but for the sake of easier control, it’s better to make a two-handed sword.” But before that, Governor Deng/Governor and his entourage had to go to the capital.
Face to face the saint, Bailang naturally had to go with him, because the emperor specially named him to meet such peerless warriors.
In fact, most people didn't believe in the victory report that one man broke out and killed dozens of enemy chiefs. Bailang read the victory report document. From an objective point of view, he didn't believe it himself either. However, this is what he did.
Bailang is not a tall man who is different from ordinary people, nor is he a nine-foot-tall general. In this era, although Bailang's height is considered quite outstanding, there are not many people who are about the same height as him. He is only 1.8 meters.
They are just outstanding, there are still many such people in Ming Dynasty.
Bailang doesn't have a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he does have a tiger's back and a wolf's waist. His upper body has a standard inverted triangle shape, but he really doesn't look like a warrior who can wield a sixty-four-pound purple gold mace - all warriors these days have this.
A big belly, and Bailang touched his belly and saw six-pack abs that were not very clear - he practiced martial arts vigorously, and the lower the body fat rate, the better. Shandong is not far from the capital, especially if you take the waterway.
To save effort.
Looking at the city of Beijing, Bai Lang felt it was quite spectacular when he was riding a horse - when he came to Beijing later in life, the city wall had already been demolished, but now he can still see this majestic city wall. "It seems like it's just like that?"
He was not moved, nor did he feel that it would be bad for later generations to demolish the city wall. Later architects stood and spoke without difficulty, saying that the city wall should be retained to build a new city, and asked how he wanted to solve people's livelihood problems and where the money to build the city would come from.
, how to raise so many materials? Architects don’t care...
After entering the city, Bai Lang thought it was okay. Later generations said that during the drought in Beijing, the sky was full of wind and sand, the rain was full of mud, and there were dung piles everywhere. It seems that there is no such thing now. "Even if there is, it is a good thing for the Qing Dynasty!" Bai Lang
He muttered something, but no one around could hear him clearly. There is a house in the city where officials who come to the pilgrimage can live, and Governor Deng wanted to win over Bai Lang, so he specially ordered Bai Lang to live with him. This kind of treatment is like seeing the governor.
level of treatment.
Bailang is indispensable. Anyway, he just works hard every day to practice martial arts. It doesn't matter where he lives. He also has an official robe, the blue one has a bear on it, and this is the fifth-grade official robe - but it's just where he lives.
Later, before the court meeting, someone from the Ministry of War sent a new set of official robes. The scarlet robe and the patchwork were leopards. "A fourth-rank official robe? Am I not a fifth-rank official?" Bai Lang didn't understand, but he didn't want to do it either.
Yes, he came here to practice his martial arts through killing. Killing bandits was almost the same as killing Tatars. Before Yuyu recovered, Bailang felt that he could make a bright future.
Bailang also went to the court meeting, but his position was very outside, and it was basically impossible to see what the emperor looked like. However, after the court meeting, he followed the newly minted Governor Deng to Lantai to meet Emperor Chongzhen. This Emperor Chongzhen looked better than he actually was.
He is old, his hair is slightly gray, and the clothes he wears cannot be said to be luxurious - but they can be said to be simple, not as exaggerated as patchwork. When they met the emperor, the big Han general and the little eunuch didn't take it seriously.
Check if Bailang is armed - if the rumors about this kind of warrior are true, it would be easy for him to kill people without weapons.
Only a few young eunuchs could separate Bailang from the emperor, but Emperor Chongzhen took the initiative to ask the young eunuchs to retreat, "These are our loyal and brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, why do you need to do this!" After a conversation with Governor Deng, Emperor Chongzhen once again gave birth to a child.
Momentum - this happened to him several times a year, and the impatient emperor was always like this. The emperor had hope again, and next he was going to meet the fierce general announced in the victory report. Bailang was stunned at the sight of it.
You can see a hint of admiration in the emperor's eyes...
