Xia Nan asked rhetorically: "Yes, what's the matter, Commander Xu thinks I'm lying?" ”

Xu Zhong shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant, it's just that the news is too shocking, and the lower official lost his temper for a while." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lord is brave and good at fighting, the world knows, since even Gao Yingxiang can be captured alive, it must be impossible to defeat Abatai......" That being said, but he actually doesn't believe it, Da Ming and Tartar have been fighting for decades, and they have been defeated repeatedly, not to mention killing thousands of Tartars, it would be very good to be able to fight with the Tartars head-on and retreat, if you are lucky enough to cut off the heads of a few real Tartars, it will be a great achievement, and you can boast for many years.

Xia Nan turned around and instructed left and right: "Take a random head and let Commander Xu take a look." ”

After the battle of Changyi, at the suggestion of Sima De, all the heads of the Houjin soldiers and Mongols were cut off, except for those who were beaten by cannonballs and could not be identified, there were more than 800 heads of the Houjin soldiers who barely kept their heads intact, more than 1,300 Mongols, and more than 1,300 of the Mongols, as for the Han soldiers and Baoyi, but they were not very valuable, so they were buried without cutting them off and taking them away.

A wooden box was handed to Xu Zhong and opened, and the head of a hideous-looking Houjin soldier was presented in front of everyone. Xu Zhong didn't care about the smell of blood and lime emanating from the box, and leaned over to take a closer look. This skull has a typical money rat tail braid, the scalp is smooth, not freshly shaved, the facial skin is dark, and the teeth and mouth are completely different from those of the Han people.

Xu Zhong nodded again and again: "Sure enough, it's true, there is no fake, the adult is really a famous general of the dynasty and a model of my generation of martial artists." In his opinion, even if the record of killing thousands of Tartars has water, but being able to cut off one hundred and eighty Tartar heads is already a glorious record that has not been seen for decades.

Xia Nan said with a smile: "Commander Xu has won the award. Since the head level has been verified, it proves that we are really here to fight the Tartars, not to fight the autumn wind, and ask Commander Xu to help and arrange a place for us to rest. ”

Xu Zhong hurriedly said: "My lord is serious, how dare the lower officials claim to be the first level of verification, it is just to admire the military exploits of your department." There was no problem in arranging the place, so I immediately ordered to go down and make room in the barracks of the guard, and if it was not enough, I would discuss it with the left and right guards. "Tianjin Sanwei has its own commander, but Tianjin Wei was established earlier than Tianjin Left Guard and Right Guard, has older qualifications, and has a significantly higher status.

Xia Nan was very happy, this Xu Commander envoy came to the meeting, but he saved himself a lot of trouble. He logically put forward the second request: "Our troops are running for a long time, and it is inconvenient to supply grain and grass, can we allocate some grain and grass for emergencies, and then go through the procedures of the military department?" ”

In his opinion, since Xu Zhong is easy to speak, this second request should not be difficult to do. There are fixed quotas for the daily rations and salaries of the guards and battalions in various places, which are approved and allocated by the Ministry of War, and the wartime salaries and salaries and silver are all separate expenditures, as long as the Qiong Navy first cuts and then plays, and this military operation is posthumously recognized by the Ministry of War, then it is logical to go through the procedures and allocate the rations and salaries, and borrowing grain and grass from Xu Zhong for emergency purposes can be regarded as borrowing and spending and returning it afterwards, which has no substantial impact on Xu Zhong.

Who knows that Xu Zhong showed an embarrassed expression: "My lord doesn't know, Tianjin Wei has a military preparation road, and is in charge of the grain and grass transfer and allocation of Jizhen, Liaodong and Tianjin Sanwei, and how much and when this food is given has to be listened to them." Although our Tianjin Sanwei is backed by a granary, unlike the guards in other places who have to endure hunger, this grain is allocated on a monthly basis, and it is all stuck in the hands of the soldiers, and there is no surplus grain. So ......"

Xia Nan understood that Tianjin Wei was a place where the matter of food and salary was decided, and it seemed that the matter of grain and grass would not go too smoothly. Although sufficient preparations were made for this expedition, and the grain and grass on the ship were enough for more than 10,000 troops to eat for a while, this battle did not know when it would end, and it was best to supply it on the spot, and it was best not to use the reserve grain on the ship, lest in case something unexpected happen, the army would fall into the predicament of running out of food.

He asked, "What is the name of the Tianjin guards, I will meet him." ”

"Bingbeidao's name is Panda, and it was originally given by the military department, and it has been three years since he arrived in Tianjin."

Tianjin Wei is essentially an acropolis, although because of the convenience of the wharf and port, the commercial development is very fast, and the population is also increasing rapidly, but after all, the city is only one or two hundred years old, the development of the industry is relatively single, and most of the business inns that rely on Cao Yun, the heritage can not be compared with the thousand-year-old city of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and can not be compared with Quanzhou and other places that are also port cities, but it is similar to Dengzhou, an important town in Shandong.

Between the simple shops and dilapidated houses on the street, a yamen is particularly eye-catching, with high walls and deep courtyards, black tiles and red doors, and it looks solemn everywhere. This is the Tianjin Guards Beidao Yamen. Pan Da, the owner of the yamen, is closing his eyes in the backyard at the moment and pretending to sleep, a concubine beats his legs, and a concubine rubs his shoulders, very pleasantly.

In a certain place, they only need to be responsible for the local general army, and they have a lot of management and no constraints, and they have a lot of power. In this place of Tianjin's three guards, the hub of Caoyun, the distribution and transfer of grain and grass from all over the country to Jizhen, Liaozhen, and even part of the needs of Jingying and Xuanfu, the power and responsibility of the military preparation and the yamen are also extremely heavy among similar yamen.

Pan Da held this position as the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Department, and he was a class of the four grades, and in this place of Tianjin Sanwei, it can be called a masterpiece.

He was originally in the military department, although he only had seven grades, but he was extremely noble and had a bright future, if he was promoted according to the normal way, if he was released, he would have been at least a political envoy, and it was not impossible to operate a little better. Now that he has been sent to Tianjin Guard to serve as a soldier, the government and the opposition generally believe that he is ascending and descending secretly, and he will be like this if he offends.

In fact, he did offend people.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Pan Da, who was in charge of the military department at that time, accepted the co-optation of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant at that time, and became his henchman, and under the signal of Zhou Yanru, he launched an impeachment against the minister of the second assistant Wen Tiren faction. At that time, Zhou Yanru was pressed by Wen Tiren step by step, and was impeached to death by a lot of handles, and he was anxious, seeing that the position of the first assistant was in jeopardy, and he urgently needed to reverse the situation, so he recruited a group of officials represented by Panda to launch a counterattack.

It's a pity that Panda stood on the wrong team, Zhou Yanru was not Wen Tiren's opponent, and he was defeated after only four months as the first assistant and returned to his hometown after illness. After Wen Tiren became the first assistant, he began to liquidate Zhou Yanru's henchmen in the second year, and Panda was not spared and was forced to leave the capital.
