Chapter 332: Lu Bu's victory (2)
The registered Chaozhou general sent to report the victory to the emperor?
Liang Mingyuan was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. A registered Chaozhou general dared to send someone to reveal his victory. This is really his mother. He laughed so hard that he was so funny.
Liang Mingyuan's subordinates also burst into laughter. What is the registered general? How can they not know? There are several registered generals in a small county town. Such a person dares to come and report the emperor to the emperor with carelessness? He is really not afraid of straggling his waist.
The Taiping Army was confused by the laughter of Liang Mingyuan and his subordinates, and I wonder why these people were laughing.
Liang Shuanghu, a native of Jiangxi, was the leader of this Taiping Army's victory team, and the person who served as the victory envoy was Guo Shao, the ambassador of the Liangzi Township Salt Inspection Institute.
Liang Shuanghu had never done such a thing, nor did he know how to deal with people in Kunming, nor how to report the victory. Therefore, he would do whatever he said along the way. The Lubu he just made was also Guo Shao's idea, saying that Lubu could make the people in Kunming city and officials in the court know the prestige of the Taiping Army, and the emperor would pay special attention to it.
Liang Shuanghu was illiterate and didn't know what Guo Shao wrote on the square silk cloth. Before coming, he asked his old boss Shao Jiugong what to do when he went to Kunming. Shao Gong didn't say anything else, but just asked him to ask Guo Shao more when he encountered problems, just do as Guo Shao wanted. It was said that Guo Shao was a scholar, and the ink in his belly was much thicker than our big brothers, and he knew more. Since the commander asked him to be a commander of victory, we should listen to him. Never take action on his own, otherwise it would be a joke in Kunming that would not only lose the face of our Taiping Army, but also the face of our Jiangxi people.
Liang Shuanghu is a honest person and a scheming person. He listened to whatever Shao Jiugong said. So he did not take any action along the way. He just followed Guo Shao's instructions, and even shouted Lord Guo, and praised Guo Shao to the sky.
As Guo Shao wanted, Lubu was raised, but the people in Kunming City laughed at them. Liang Shuanghu felt something was wrong, so he couldn't ask them what they were laughing at. Then he asked Guo Shao in a low voice: "Master Guo, why are they laughing at?"
Guo Shao coughed lightly, and he was also confused about this question. Before surrendering to the Taiping Army, he was just an ambassador of the Eighth-rank Salt Survey and had seen much more world than Liang Shuanghu. This Lu Bu Jie was also the idea he thought of, and how to operate it. In fact, he didn't know. Now Lu Bu has made a name and has also reported it, but people burst into laughter, making him think he had made something wrong.
Guo Shao was embarrassed to tell Liang Shuanghu that he might have made Lubu wrong, so he gritted his teeth and bowed to Liang Mingyuan and said, "This general, we came from all the way from Guangdong to report the victory to the emperor, but I don't know when the general will let us enter the city to meet the saint?"
"Enter the city and meet the saint?"
Liang Mingyuan stopped laughing and thought to himself that these guys are so thick-skinned.
He looked up and down at Guo Shao, and did not answer the other party. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Who is your general's surname?"
Guo Shao was about to speak, but Liang Shuanghu shouted first: "My general's surname is Zhou's famous scholar."
"Zhou Shixiang?"
Liang Mingyuan seemed to think that he had heard of this name somewhere. But he couldn't remember it for a moment. When he thought that the other party was the registered general of Chaozhou, he asked: "So, are you from Guangdong?"
Guo Shao was afraid that Liang Shuanghu would snatch the words again, so he hurriedly said, "That's right, I waited a month ago to go to the sea from Xiangshan, Guangdong to Guangxi to land in Kunming, which took more than a month." After saying that, he remembered something and quickly said, "Oh, by the way, when I arrived, I didn't know that Nanning had fallen into the hands of the Qing army, and I even fought a war with them."
"Did you fight with the Qing army in Guangxi?"
Liang Mingyuan couldn't help but look at the more than 100-digit strong man in Taiping Army again, nodded, and praised: "You are indeed capable of escaping."
"Escape?"
Guo Shao was stunned and was about to say that they did not escape, but Liang Shuanghu shouted proudly: "This general, we did not escape, but drove the Qing army away."
"You more than a hundred people beat the Qing army away?"
Most of the Qing army in Guangxi were Han army flag soldiers under Kong Youde's subordinates. Liang Mingyuan had fought with them back then. He knew that these people were very difficult to deal with, so he would not let go if he bit them. Unless he beat them up, he would chase you tightly. Therefore, he didn't believe that the Taiping Army, which had only more than 100 people, could beat the Qing army he encountered on the road and calmly come from Guangxi to Kunming.
Liang Mingyuan's subordinates also showed sneering. This time, Liang Shuanghu and the Taiping Army could see clearly, but it turned out that they didn't believe them at all.
Liang Shuanghu blushed and shouted, "This general, Liang Shuanghu has never spoken loudly. Our brothers really beat the Qing demons away. If you don't believe it, ask us brothers one by one."
These words made the soldiers on the opposite side laugh again. There is no such truth in the world to verify this.
Liang Mingyuan smiled and shook his head. Knowing that Liang Shuanghu was a rough man, he did not continue to ridicule the other party, and only asked Guo Shao: "What kind of victory did your General Zhou send you to the court?"
Speaking of the serious matter, Guo Shao quickly said seriously: "Our Taiping Army fought with the Qing army twice in Guangzhou, and captured 218 heads of the Manzhou Zhentath, and killed 856 Han flag soldiers under Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, more than 3,230 Guangdong Green Camp soldiers, and captured 3,150 Qing soldiers. There were 14 Manzhou soldiers surrendering to our Taiping Army, including one of them. Therefore, our general ordered us to come to Kunming to report the victory to the emperor!"
After Guo Shao finished speaking, Liang Shuanghu snorted and pointed at the carriages behind him: "These cars are loaded with military flags seized from the Tartars, and the real Tartar heads were cut off. My general specially asked us to bring them here for verification by the court. If you don't believe it, test them on the spot and see if we say it is true or false!"
As soon as the two finished speaking, the soldiers under Liang Mingyuan were buzzing.
"The real Tartar's head? Is the real Tartar's head on the car?"
"Brave, how could the real Tartars surrender to our Ming army?"
"These people said that even the military flags of the Eight Banners were handed over, and it seemed that they were real. Otherwise, they would know the truth and falsehood after testing the things. If they really want to brag, they wouldn't have made some fake things, right?"
“…”
The soldiers were talking all over. Everyone's eyes fell on the carriages and mule carriages behind Liang Shuanghu.
"Test it, see if they say it is true or false. If it is false, brothers will not beat them to death!" A soldier shouted.
Someone from the Taiping Army fought back and shouted, "It's not true or false, the things are all here. We are not afraid of you coming to test it!"
"If it's fake, just wait!"
"If it is true, would you let us beat us up too?"
"Hey. If it's true, so what if I let you beat me up!"
“…”
The people below were quarreling, and Liang Shuanghu was also angry and sulked for the other party to underestimate him. Therefore, he ignored Liang Mingyuan.
Seeing that this was not the case, Guo Shao hurriedly said to Liang Mingyuan: "This general, do you want to check it out?"
"Experience!"
The smile on Liang Mingyuan's face had long disappeared. He turned over and jumped out of his seat and rode to the carriage. Two quick subordinates took the lead and lifted up the linen and hay covered in the carriage.
"lime!"
Everyone looked into the car, and it was covered with lime.
Is it true that the head of the Tatars under the lime?
Liang Mingyuan and others took a breath. No one could get the heads of the Green Camp and the Han Army, but the heads of the Tartars of the True Manzhou were not so easy to get. In the Battle of Hengbao, the King of Jin killed the Prince of the Qing Dynasty, but the final ones of the Tartars of the True Manzhou were only more than a thousand. Now a small registered general also won more than 200 Tartars of the True Manzhou. This is an amazing thing.
Seeing Liang Mingyuan and others standing by the carriage without moving, Liang Shuanghu thought they were scared, so he said on the side: "It's hot, and the Tartars' head cannot be stored. I'm afraid it's rotten. My general asked people to spread it with lime and salt on it, but it wasn't just buried it inside. The Tartars' head was soaked in wine and placed it at the bottom. I once opened a jar on the road and looked at it, but it didn't rot at all!"
After hearing this, one of Liang Mingyuan's subordinates reached out and grabbed a handful of lime. Sure enough, there were many large salt particles in the lime.
Liang Mingyuan snorted slightly and ordered his subordinates: "Take out the jar!"
"Yes, General!"
At that moment, several soldiers reached out to pluck the carriage, and soon they touched a few jars. One soldier carefully took out one of the jars. Seeing that it was not only sealed with kraft paper, but also a layer of mud was applied. He slapped off the mud and took out the dagger he carried with him and cut the cover.
The moment the cover was cut open, a smell of wine came to my face.
The soldier sniffed it with his nose. The wine smelled very strong, but when he sniffed it again, he found that the wine tasted a bit strange.
The mouth of the wine jar was very large, and it was really possible to put a head in the size. He leaned his head into the jar. There was indeed a head soaked in the clear wine. I couldn't see the person's appearance from above. I could only see that the head was extremely smooth and there was indeed a rat-tail braid on the back of the head.
"General?" The soldier looked at Liang Mingyuan and asked what to do next.
"Smash it open!"
Hearing this, the soldier hurriedly raised the wine jar with great force, and then the jar was smashed to the ground. With a "bang", the wine jar broke open, and the wine flowed all over the ground, and a human head rolled down the wine at his feet.
"Pick it up and test it!"
Liang Mingyuan stared at the head motionlessly.
The soldier was also a veteran. He had tested the head of the real Tartar and bent down to pick up the head that was soaked in wine. He was not afraid or taboo at all. He pinched the mouth of the Tartar's head with his hand, revealing the yellow teeth that were suddenly full of mouth.
After looking carefully and looking again, the soldier turned around and shouted: "General, he is a real Tartar!"
"Show me!"
Liang Mingyuan stepped forward excitedly and lifted the braid behind his head, held it high, and after careful examination, he confirmed that it was indeed the head of a Manzhou Tartar.
Guo Shao stepped forward happily and said, "Is this general wrong at the head?"
"Test again!"
Liang Mingyuan ignored Guo Shao, but ordered his subordinates to test the head again. At this time, it was no longer a few people coming to test. Dozens of soldiers came up, picking up limes one by one, and taking out the wine jar. However, the sound of the wine jars being smashed and smashed, and the heads of real Tartars were taken out by our soldiers and checked them carefully.
"Yes, this is the head of a real Tartar!"
"So too!"
"There are also several jars here!"
“…”
With the shouts of our soldiers, the heads of the Tartars in Manzhou were raised and piled up together, and the number was indeed the 214 claimed by the Taiping Army.
Suddenly a soldier shouted with his head in his arms: "What's going on with this Tartar head?"
Several soldiers around him thought they had finally found a fake Tartar head, so they surrounded him, and Liang Mingyuan also walked over to check it out himself. But the head was indeed a real Tartar head, but for some reason, the head was sewn with needles and thread from top to bottom, and the top-down crack was extremely ferocious like a centipede. After careful consideration of this head, it felt very light, as if the head was empty.
Liang Mingyuan's subordinates came over and whispered: "General, the number of heads is right, and those military flags are indeed the banners of the Eight Banners, so you can't make a mistake!"
