Outside Lu Xiangsheng's Chinese army tent, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and others with surprised faces were smiling happily around two large cars. Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanda University, even picked up a head from the car and carefully observed the teeth of these heads.
, hair, face, and his fanatical look, it seems as if he is holding not a bloody head but a piece of silver. He has been dealing with Qing soldiers in the border town all year round. He can tell at a glance whether it is the head of a Qing soldier.
"Captain Lu, these are genuine Tatar heads!" Yang Guozhu said to Lu Xiangsheng in surprise, the look of envy on his face could not be concealed.
"Haha... You are worthy of General Pang, who is the bravest of the three armies. He captured more than 300 Tatar heads in one battle. Congratulations!" The generals around him, whether they were sincere or not, all put on smiling faces towards Pang.
Just congratulated.
Pang Gang seemed very low-key at this moment. He clasped his fists and turned around and said: "Thank you, my lords. This battle was all due to Governor Lu's command. The generals cooperated well. Pang just made some small contributions by luck. You all have it."
share!"
After hearing what Pang Gang said, everyone felt happy. Hearing Pang Gang's words, he wanted to share the credit with everyone. Although the big head must be his, hundreds of heads were divided among them.
The general will also have more than ten heads recorded in his account, which is somewhat of a credit.
Lu Xiangsheng wiped his beard with his hand, and a smile appeared on his face. This Pang Gang was not only brave in battle, but also a good person. He understood the principle of sharing interests, which was really rare. But this was also the reason why Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure it out. Since he was so good at life, then he
How come the relationship with the emperor is so tense?
Sighing secretly, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said to Pang Gang: "Chaodong, the governor will report your merits to the emperor truthfully. Don't worry, your merits will never be lost."
Pang Gang gave a wry smile and shook his head: "The Governor is determined. I don't ask for promotion, I just want the emperor to be able to serve a bowl well. Just don't be biased against me."
Lu Xiangsheng frowned. He wanted to reprimand Pang Gang, but when he thought of Chongzhen's personal order restricting Pang Gang to only bring five thousand people to serve the king, he lamented in his heart again. What is happening to the Ming Dynasty now? The country is suffering from internal and external troubles.
, not only do most of the officials in the court have a muddle-through mentality and have no concern for the country and the people, but now even the emperor is like this. Is there really no place for loyal ministers and good generals?
Pang Gang had been paying attention to Lu Xiangsheng, and when he saw his old face and gray hair, he felt sour in his heart. This old man who had spent his whole life working for the Ming Dynasty was already exhausted both mentally and physically.
Pang Gang sighed. He forced a smile and said, "Captain Lu, it's a good thing to win the battle. Let's report our victory to the Emperor and Eunuch Gao!"
"Well, that's true." Lu Xiangsheng also let go of his worries and nodded with a smile. Gao Qiqian was responsible for recording merits and distributing food and fodder in the army. He could not be avoided.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
So the two big cars, a petition for meritorious service and a memorial, headed towards the Marco Polo Bridge in the southwest of the capital...
In the large tent of the Supervisory Army at Lougou Bridge, Gao Qiqian looked at the memorial memorial just sent by Lu Xiangsheng and was silent. There were two carts outside his tent. They were already surrounded by many generals. Datong
Commander-in-Chief Wang Pu, Commander-in-Chief Shanxi Hu Dawei and others were all there.
Wang Pu would also pick up a head from time to time and look left and right, carefully looking at the teeth, braids, face and other parts. He also asked his servant to get a bucket of water and throw it on the water to observe carefully.
Soon, Wang Pu exclaimed with both envy and jealousy: "General Tiger, these are genuine Tatar heads. Now the credit of those guys in Xuanfu Town is huge."
Hu Dawei also nodded and said: "Yes, there are three hundred and twenty-eight heads in total. This contribution is really not small. I believe the emperor will reward them heavily."
"Yes, those guys in Xuanda Town are really shaking now." A general next to him also said jealously.
At this time, the tent curtain was opened, Gao Qiqiu came out, Hu Dawei strode over, clasped his fists and said: "To report to Eunuch Gao, Governor Lu has sent a total of 328 pills."
The heads, after inspection, are all Tatar heads, and none of them are counterfeit."
After Gaoqi listened, he laughed loudly and said to Hu Dawei: "General Tiger, have you checked everything clearly? Are you sure there is nothing wrong?"
Hu Dawei was slightly startled and said, "Eunuch Gao, I have asked the general to count the number three times. I will definitely not get it wrong."
"Hehe..." Gao Qiqian sneered: "No, why do we think we have an extra hundred and fifty?"
"One hundred and fifty more?" Hu Dawei was stunned and looked at Gao Qiqian with some confusion.
"Yes, that's one hundred and fifty more!" Gao Qi glanced at Hu Dawei meaningfully and said slowly: "Xuanda Town has made a contribution, don't we have no credit?"
"This...this..." Hu Dawei was not an idiot. He naturally understood the meaning behind Gao Qi's unspoken words. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Eunuch Gao, this is not good, these heads are all
Xuanda's brother paid for it with his life. If we take it away like this, I'm afraid Governor Lu and the people in Xuanda Town won't do it!"
"No?" Gao Qiqian cackled again, startling a group of crows that were perching on the tree behind.
Gao Qiqian stopped his smile and said in a dark voice: "It would be enough if Lu Xiangsheng and the people in Xuanda Town know each other. If he doesn't know each other, it's not necessarily who gets the credit."
Hu Dawei took a breath of cold air. He knew that Gao Qiqian was trying to steal the credit, and his robbery was so blatant and naked. Wasn't he afraid of causing a backlash from Lu Xiangsheng and the people in Xuanda Town?
Seeing Hu Dawei's worried look, Gao Qiqian smiled gloomily: "Don't worry, our family won't be so stupid as to offend everyone, but there is one person in our family who must be suppressed. Isn't Lu Xiangsheng here?
Did the report say that Pang Gang single-handedly led his army to behead one hundred and fifty people? We don’t want the credit of others, we just want his."
"Hiss..." Hu Dawei took a breath, and then realized that the root cause was here. It seems that Pang Gang offended Gao Qiqian to death in the handsome tent last time.
Eunuch Gao was trying to get him to die. This time he was blatantly trying to steal the credit. He might be sent to him next time to get him killed.
Thinking of this, Hu Dawei couldn't help but feel sad. The soldiers who fought desperately to kill the enemy these days didn't even get any credit. (To be continued)
