Xianqin Multiverse Empire
Page 207
The so-called first team is actually an exaggeration. There were 11 people in total. At the beginning, the 11 people were separated. Before they could gather, Wang Dou killed two of them with his own modified flintlock.
Using traps and longbows, four of them were killed.
There were five others who were also killed one by one by him.
From Wang Dou's point of view, his victory was nothing more than deliberate calculation or unintentional calculation!
But in the eyes of the nearby people, Wang Dou at this moment is a great hero, a hero who saved their lives and property at a critical moment!
When Wang Dou handed over the heads of the eleven Tartars, he became a hundred households.Even due to the characteristics of Xuanfu Town, his hundred households are actually small warlords who manage a radius of tens of square kilometers.
Xuanfu Town is a frontier land, and the grassland opposite is Mongolia, so there are few people here, and the place where Wang Dou lives is theoretically a military household.
A site of tens of square kilometers, more than 300 households with more than 2000 military households, or former military households, some old weapons, old armor, seven or eight blacksmiths, a dozen carpenters, and many long The poor tailor widow.
Riding a captured Mongolian pony, Wang Dou was wearing a cotton coat, carrying a long bow on his back, and a special flintlock gun at his waist, patrolling his territory.
The land is not big, only tens of square kilometers!
The population is small, just over 2000, many of them are widows, and there are very few middle-aged men.
The wealth is very little, there are no mines underground, and only [-]% of the salaries of the soldiers of the hundred households are paid. This is still due to the fact that Wang Dou is a hero who killed the Tartars, otherwise it is only [-]%.
But these difficulties were not taken seriously by Wang Dou. Today is New Year's Eve, and Wang Dou is still braving the wind and snow to check on the lives of the people one by one.
On this day, Wang Dou saw the simple hearts of the people in the eyes of the people!
On this day, the first ambition appeared in Wang Dou's heart - I want to protect these simple people!
Major events in the world must be done in detail!
Difficult things in the world must be done with ease!
Wang Dou also started from small things. Of course, cheating is essential. Using advanced knowledge to improve the living standards of the people, ensuring that the hundred soldiers under his command are full of food and drink, hard training is also a must. necessary.
The opportunity came soon, in the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen.
This year, Wang Dou successively killed more than 300 Mongolian Tartars. Although the gold content of these Tartars was not as high as that of the Houjin Eight Banners soldiers, in today's Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a considerable amount of military exploits.
This time Wang Dou took the initiative to let more than 100 heads go out. He is so knowledgeable, so he was promoted very quickly. This time he became a thousand households.
The rule has expanded from dozens of square kilometers to hundreds of square kilometers, and the number of people has also increased to more than 3. The entire Xuanfu knows that there is a hero who killed the Tartars in Shunxiang Fort. The name of Wang Dou began to spread.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou took the initiative to go out of the fortress and ran to the grassland to fight grass valleys!
As early as last year, Xuanfu Town had become a forbidden place in the eyes of grassland herdsmen, so Wang Dou had little harvest last year, and he was very dissatisfied, although other officials were already very satisfied.
This year, Wang Dou was on the grassland, winning three battles and three victories, and defeated six medium-sized tribes. When he returned, there were 20 cattle and sheep alone.
This year, he personally brought [-] Mongolian pony horses and [-] Tartars to Beijing to offer captives!
This year, Chongzhen personally summoned him on the platform regardless of etiquette. The two met each other very late, and they talked for three days and three nights. Afterwards, Chongzhen promised the princess to be his wife, calling him Daming Qi Shaobao.
This year, the 22-year-old Wang Dou became the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty!
Chief soldier, also known as chief soldier, is theoretically the highest rank of military commander.Higher official titles are not absent, but most of them are just empty posts.
22-year-old general officer!
The beloved general of Emperor Chongzhen, the Daming Qi Shaobao he called!
The future son-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen!
There are eight thousand family members under his command, all of whom are brave fighters!
This year, Wang Dou bears the hope of the world!
The generals believed that Wang Dou was a god of war rarely seen in a hundred years, and the civil officials believed that Wang Dou was the key figure in the revival of the empire and the defeat of Jin.
Even Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect and other qi refining and immortal cultivators believed that this Wang Dou might be the key figure in the change of destiny.
Even many high-level cultivators of the evil faction are paying attention to Wang Dou, why should they pay attention to Wang Dou?
Because the great prosperity of the righteous way is the same as the prosperity of the bright and the clear, both are days!
If Wang Dou can change the number of days when the Ming and Qing are prosperous, does it mean that the number of days when the Righteous Dao is prosperous can also be changed?
Therefore, under the condition that the high-level monks of the righteous and evil paths maintained a tacit understanding, the cultivation world did not cause the slightest disturbance to Wang Dou.
Mortals belong to mortals, monks belong to monks!
In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou led [-] family members and [-] elite Xuanfu soldiers who had personally trained them, met the Houjin Lianglan Banners, won the battle, beheaded the banner owner, and was maimed in the first battle .
After the gold is less than [-], it has become a joke to be invincible.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou led nine thousand family members to fight against him, and won!
Eight years of Chongzhen...
Until the tenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou led [-] family members and [-] Xuanfu elite soldiers to start a decisive battle with the main forces of the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji near the Great Wall.
The decisive battle lasted for three months. In the end, the mighty Eight Banners soldiers were maimed and [-] died directly.
But Wang Dou's losses were not filial, only [-] of the [-] family members remained, and [-] of the [-] Xuanfu's elite soldiers remained. The number of prisoners was countless, and the number of cattle and sheep exceeded one million.
In the camp, Wang Dou received a reward from Emperor Chongzhen, and was promoted from Bozhuo to Marquis to Xiahou, hereditary successor, and married the princess as his wife, and got married immediately after returning to Beijing.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Dou sat on top with a blank expression, while the generals and officials in the tent started to quarrel.
"Marshal, you can't go back. Once you go back, the best end for Marshal is to lift his military power and put him under house arrest in the capital for the rest of his life!"
"Marshal, you can't go back! The Mongolian Tartars have been maimed by the marshal long ago, and Houjin is also maimed now. To put it bluntly, the imperial court no longer needs the marshal!"
"That's right. Even if Hou Jin survives this battle, he won't have the strength to continue the war with the imperial court in 20 years. And 20 years later, how can Hou Jin guarantee his fighting spirit? Without threats, who knows what the imperial court will do?"
"Flying birds do their best to hide their bows, and cunning rabbits are dead and running dogs. Commander, look at what happened to Han Xin who helped Liu Bang win the world! Are you looking at how Li Jing spent his old age? He didn't even open the door when he was sleeping. Dare to close, this is because Li Shimin wants a good reputation, otherwise..."
"That's enough. How can you speculate about the court like this? You slander Your Majesty like this? Since His Majesty took the throne, he has issued several edicts to dismiss the palace guards and eunuchs, and continue to distribute internal funds. Now the internal funds are all empty. All along. , Has Your Majesty ever apologized to the Marshal?"
"If the commander-in-chief doesn't come back today, what will people in the world think of the commander-in-chief? All along, people in the world think that the commander-in-chief is a loyal minister of Daming, and the commander-in-chief has always regarded himself as a loyal minister. Do you want to rebel now?"
Hearing the word rebellion, even the irascible military commander calmed down at this moment.
To be honest, the main reason for the generals not to let Wang Dou go back is to protect themselves, they are afraid of being liquidated, and it is also related to Wang Dou!
Wang Dou has always been emphasizing that generals must be able to read and write, and all households with more than a hundred households must be able to read and write. When the generals began to read and write, everything changed!
When they saw Han Xin's end, when they saw Yue Fei's unwarranted, when they saw Yu Jie who was tortured to death by the emperors and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, and looked at the civil servants of this dynasty, it is really impossible not to think about it!
"Marshal, of course we dare not rebel. We are also loyal to Daming and His Majesty, but who can guarantee that Marshal will not be punished after he returns?"
"Look at Qi Shaobao? Back then, the entire south was harassed by Japanese pirates, and there was even a ridiculous incident where dozens of five members stormed the city of Nanjing!"
"That's right. At that time, the entire South's armed forces were slack. Fortunately, Qi Shaobao was born. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what happened to the South. After defeating the Japanese pirates, Qi Shaobao went to Ji Town. The Mongols who beat them heard his name and stopped joining the bandits. But what happened? Qi Shaobao was not knighted when he died, not even an earl!"
"That's right, I've heard people say that when Qi Shaobao wrote letters to Wang Taiyue before he was alive, he always claimed to be a lackey. Even a warrior like him was nothing more than a lackey! But even so, he was still beaten to death by civil officials. gone?"
"Before he died, he was tossed about by civil servants, and even lost his post. After his death, the imperial court hypocritically bestowed a few official posts. Everyone is dead. What's the use?"
"That's right, apart from Qi Shaobao, could Li Chengliang have a good end? Hasn't he done enough credit for the court? But even he was dealt with by the court differently in his later years!"
"Yes, Commander, we don't want to rebel, and we don't dare to rebel, but the Commander should also think about our generals. After the Commander leaves, maybe the emperor will feel the sincerity of the Commander, or guarantee the safety of the Commander." , but what about us? Who will guarantee our safety?"
"Shut up! Are you going to trap the Marshal in an injustice?"
The civil servants spoke again.
The generals continued to quarrel, and there was even a tendency to fight.
bump!
Wang Dou slapped the table hard, and the civil servants and generals below shut up immediately!
In the huge tent, dozens of strong men crowded together, but at this moment they didn't even make a sound. Even the big bosses held their breath and pricked up their ears, waiting for Wang Dou's choice.
"That's enough, Your Majesty treats me with sincerity, so don't think too much. The army rests for seven days and returns to Beijing!"
……
In the capital, in the mansion of a certain civil servant, a group of shady guys are also plotting.
"I can't bear it anymore. Your Majesty actually wants to restore the old system of the previous dynasty, and let Wang Dou become a cabinet minister after he is relieved of his military power, and continue the good story of being a general and becoming a prime minister!"
"Hey, I think your majesty has forgotten how five generations of warriors played with the court and ignored the emperor!"
"Where does this put us civil servants?"
"Ridiculous! The Anshi Rebellion is enough once, do you want a second time?"
"Such important news? How did you hear about it?"
"The news came from a letter, and I happened to have a friend at court."
"Feng Xiahou is already looking at his great achievements. If he wants to become a minister and become a cabinet minister, don't even think about it!"
"That's right. I read the books of sages and sages since I was a child. I became a scholar at the age of 12. I was selected as a scholar at the age of 16. I won the Jinshi examination at the age of 28. This is already considered young. I have studied the books of sages and sages for so many years, but I am just an imperial servant. It took a full ten years before he was released as a governor, and now he is in his fifties, but he is still just a mere servant. He is a martial artist, but he can join the cabinet? Why?"
The servant's words aroused the approval of the civil servants present.
Why?
You are a martial artist by yourself, wouldn't it be good to be your martial artist?
Everyone does not violate the water of the river, but you actually want to appear in the picture, this is unbearable!
……
Inside the camp, Wang Dou was thinking, he was thinking about the future, and in his hand was Chongzhen's personal letter, which contained the arrangements for the next year, which would gradually promote him, pointing to becoming the chief assistant of the cabinet.
At that time, the monarch, minister, Weng and son-in-law joined forces to reform Daming and revitalize Daming again.
The letter is written by Chongzhen himself, and the content inside is also full of sincerity.
At this crucial moment of deciding the future, Wang Dou thought a lot, but in the end he still decided to trust Chongzhen.
This is also related to the current situation. Today's Daming has not been as bad as the 16th year of Chongzhen in history. Later Jin was disabled, and the peasant army was suppressed and could not get up at all.
People in the world feel at ease, and people's hearts are bright.
There is no basic condition for rebellion, and Wang Dou himself is a kind person. Although the Mongolian herdsmen and Houjin Baqi would dismiss them when they heard this, Wang Dou has always felt that he is quite kind.
"I'm just a lucky little guy with some persistence. Now I can change Da Ming with my own hands and transform Da Ming into what I want. What else do I insist on?"
Chapter 10: Destiny?
Back to Beijing!
On the way back to Beijing, Wang Dou dispatched the elite soldiers of the Xuan Mansion back to the Xuan Mansion one after another, and the nine thousand family members also sent 6000 people back. When he came to the foot of the emperor, there were only three thousand family members left by his side.
On this day, regardless of other people's objections, Emperor Chongzhen personally led all the civil and military officials, went out of the city ten miles to meet each other, named Xiahou, and married the princess.
Even according to gossip, Chongzhen personally said before leaving Beijing that the current Ming Dynasty is a key node, and there will be 200 years of national fortune after the past. If it fails, Chongzhen will not have 20 years.
Wang Dou is very sincere!
He didn't lead an army to force the palace!
Chongzhen was also very sincere, and ordered Wang Dou to marry the princess on the third day after his return, and on the fifth day, regardless of the objections of the officials, he appointed Wang Dou as Minister of the Ministry of War.
Although he is only Minister of the Ministry of War, not yet a cabinet minister, let alone the chief minister of the cabinet, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Dou will definitely be the chief minister of the cabinet in the future!
Chongzhen once again showed his sincerity, and Wang Dou began to show his sincerity in disguise.
Today's Wang Dou and Chongzhen are like two guys doing business. You take a step back and I take a step back. Both want to cooperate, but they are afraid of each other, so they can only cooperate step by step, so that they look more like It's a battle between the monarch and his subjects.
You make a step, I make a step.
But in any case, overall it is quite harmonious.
As Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Dou also started to work.
He reorganized the Ministry of War and changed the inheritance of civil servants to check and balance military officials.It also changed the tradition of eunuchs supervising the army, but at the same time, he set up a logistics department and a staff department.
Among them, the logistics department is held by civil servants, eunuchs, and Jin Yiwei, who are responsible for logistics related matters such as salary and soldiers.The staff department is held by generals and is responsible for formulating various plans.
Through the construction of the system, the troops that the commander-in-chief can directly control are only a thousand soldiers left, and the rest of the soldiers are controlled by the court through various means such as logistics control.
Even the elite soldiers of Xuanfu are no exception!
At this moment, three years have passed since that battle.
Wang Dou proved with iron-like facts that he had no intention of rebellion.
Chongzhen's sincerity also followed.
Wang Dou joins the cabinet!
