A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 162
According to what Han Zhong said, his wife inherited her father, Li Guangheng, the hereditary hundred-household officer of Zhongqianhu in Baoanzhou, who had a violent temper; Green out of blue is better than blue, which makes Han Zhong miserable after getting married.

In fact, the matter is very simple, that is, when Han Zhong went shopping with his wife yesterday, he glanced at the breasts of a voluptuous woman opposite, then at her buttocks, and finally at what her face looks like, in fact, this is quite normal, In the past, when Han Zhong went out with Gao Shiyin and the others to have fun, he often commented on women on the street, what's the big deal?
It was a very common thing, the lady didn't show any abnormality at that time, Han Zhong forgot about it after returning home.

Unexpectedly, when she was going to sleep that night, Mrs. Li suddenly asked Han Zhong about the matter. She cried and made a fuss at first, and finally hit Han Zhong suddenly.He was stunned for a moment, and when he jumped up to fight back, before his fist landed on Miss Li, she was already crying to death.

Her voice was so shrill that the entire Han family could hear it clearly, scaring his eldest brother Han Chao and his sister-in-law Zheng Niangzi to rush over. Needless to say, Han Zhong was severely criticized by his elder brother again: " Beating your wife, you are getting more and more promising, younger siblings have such delicate bodies, what should I do if I break them?"

This little lady Li is very well mannered, with a sweet mouth, delicate and fragile, on weekdays Han Chao and his wife love this younger sibling very much.Being beaten and scolded, Han Zhong intuitively felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. He was so sad that no one could tell.

Hearing Han Zhong's cry, Wang Dou was also very surprised. He had seen Han Zhong's mouth before. He looked very quiet on the outside, even a little shy, but he didn't expect that he was so violent inside.

Everyone at the scene was also shocked, and they talked a lot: "It's too outrageous. A wife beats her husband. It has never been heard of in the 300-year dynasty of the country. It is really shocking."

Wen Fangliang patted Han Zhong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Second brother Han, you can't do this, do you want my brother to teach you two tricks, and I will be obedient to you after taking care of your wife."

Han Zhong sobbed and said, "Is what you said true or not?"

Han Chao sat aside and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Wen, don't make trouble."

Wang Dou was also pondering, it was a big taboo for his subordinates to discord, he said: "Brother Han, how about this, after the meeting is over, I will ask Xiu Niang to invite your wife over, and let her persuade you."

Han Zhong suddenly withdrew his tears: "Don't worry about my lord and wife. In fact, my wife is pretty good. She usually caresses about her health and is considerate. She just doesn't want me to see women from other families. If she doesn't let me see her, I just don't want to see her."

Sighs were heard everywhere, and Wang Dou also shook his head. It is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, so let Han Zhong ask for his own blessing.

He coughed and said seriously: "Now we will start the discussion."

Everyone immediately sat down solemnly, Wang Dou looked around, and said slowly: "The current situation in the state city, if there is no source of money and food, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of cattle and waterwheels for the autumn sowing, let alone the expansion of the army in the future. Just right The spring plowing has passed, and the soldiers have finished working in the fields, so it's time to go out and suppress the bandits' wealth."

Han Chaodao: "There are no bandits in Baoan Prefecture to suppress, and they can only go out to fight."

Lin Daofu was a little worried: "My lord, officers and soldiers go abroad to fight without the order of their superiors. This is against the military law of the military system."

Wen Fangliang said with a smile: "Master Lin, we are all officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty, so how can we distinguish between you and me, inside and outside? It is the duty of our officers and soldiers to eliminate violence and stabilize the country. Of course, in order to avoid troubles, I Just don't raise the flag, just go out quietly."

Everyone agreed with him, so Lin Daofu didn't say much.

Wang Dou took out the map, which was much more detailed than the map used by Shun Township Castle, but it was still not what Wang Dou wanted.

He pointed to the map and said: "In the four directions of east, west, north, south, and east in Baoan Prefecture, to the east is Huailaiwei, to the north is Xuanfu Town, and to the south is Mashuikou and Tianjin Pass. Based on our current situation, It is inappropriate to use troops to suppress bandits in these places, so we have to go west."

Wang Doudao: "From the Hunhe River, where the Meiyu garrisoned thousands of households, there is Huaianwei in my Xuanfu town, as well as Weizhou, Guangchang and other places. These places have high mountains and dense forests, and they also spread out in the wilderness. The land is fertile and has always been a breeding ground for banditry, and the destruction of bandit villages in these places can stabilize the place, and the money and food we get can also support our security forces and people."

Wang Dou slammed his fists on the table: "It is imperative to send troops to suppress the bandits!"

Seeing Wang Dou's decision, everyone in the room was excited and asked to fight one after another. The sergeants under Wang Dou's command mainly earned their income from killing the enemy, and the opponent was a vulnerable gangster. Who wouldn't want to lead the army to fight and get a share?
Seeing the high morale of the crowd, Wang Dou was also satisfied. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. This bandit suppression will last until the autumn broadcast. Everyone has a chance to fight."

He pondered for a while, then said: "Brother Han, you two have just been married, and you have spent more time with your wife at home. The first batch to go to battle is Brother Wen in Zhoucheng, Brother Gao in Shunxiangbao, Zhong Tiaoyang and others. Useful. After Brother Gao left, Brother Sun led Mr. Ding's troops to defend Shun Township Fort. When the two return, you will take turns."

Hearing Wang Dou's arrangement, both Wen Fangliang and Gao Shiyin were elated, and Han Zhong called out, "My lord."

Wang Dou waved his hand: "That's the decision."

He said to Chi Dacheng, the governor of the town: "Master Chi set off with the army, and registered the meritorious deeds of the soldiers and seized them."

Chi Dacheng solemnly bowed his hands and accepted the order.

Wang Dou said to Wen Fangliang and Gao Shiyin: "You two, get ready and recruit soldiers to practice hard. When the night of the outbound sentry does not come back, you will set off immediately."

Both of them took orders loudly.

……

On the second day, Han Zhong came to look for Wang Dou with some embarrassment, saying that he was recommending a talent to Mr. Wang Dou.Now that Han Zhong came to recommend talents to him again, he became curious and asked a few words. It turned out that it was Li Guangheng, Han Zhong's father-in-law of Mount Tai.

Seeing Han Zhong's embarrassment, Wang Dou comforted him and said, "A virtuous person does not avoid relatives. As long as your father-in-law is really talented, I will definitely use it again."

Wang Dou asked a few words. It turned out that Li Guangheng did seem to be capable. He was good at riding and shooting. He was also proficient in big guns, firecrackers, and clerical documents. If it wasn't for his good luck to keep up with Wang Dou, Han Zhong thought that his achievements were far behind his father-in-law.

This Li Guangheng is now a subordinate of Qian Zong Tian Changguo. At that time, during the big pay case, because Tian Changguo strictly controlled his subordinates to make troubles, hundreds of Tian Changguo's people escaped, and Li Guangheng was at ease.Han Zhong felt sorry for his father-in-law. Tian Changguo had too many soldiers to use, but his father-in-law's army was healthy. Whenever there was a war in Zhoucheng, Tian Changguo always sent his father-in-law to fight. No chance of promotion.

The reason for this is that Li Guangheng has a straightforward personality and doesn't know how to beat around the bush. He is very unpopular with Shang Mineta Changguo. Shangguan doesn't appreciate it, and it is delusional to want to be promoted. Fortunately, his son-in-law Han Zhong is a bole, and he found his father-in-law as a great horse.

Han Zhong also revealed the news that although his father-in-law is a hereditary hundred household in Baoan Prefecture, his ancestors, like a man of integrity, once fought south and north under the command of the Qi family army.Hearing this, Wang Dou was even more interested, and hurriedly called Li Guangheng to come and have a look. Sure enough, this middle-aged general with a rough face and a burly figure was not simple.

However, his temperament was exactly as Han Zhong said, such a person, perhaps only Wang Dou could bear it, any superior would not like such a subordinate, although they were very happy to let such a person be cannon fodder.As soon as he saw Li Guangheng, Wang Dou thought of those old officials, old xx, old xx, etc. who could not move their seats for decades.However, this kind of talent is what Wang Dou needs, and he immediately asks Qian Zongtian Changguo for him.

Wang Dou asked Tian Changguo for someone, how could he not agree?However, Tian Changguo was recruited by Wang Dou, and after hearing what Wang Dou wanted, he had a very strange expression on his face, thinking: "I can't see, when will such a rigid person like Lao Li hug the thigh of an upright man?" ? This person is silent, the city is too deep!"

Suddenly he suddenly realized: "Isn't his son-in-law that Han Zhong? That's how it is!"

For a while, he regretted: "Why did I give birth to sons and not a daughter?"

……

At the end of February in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, following Wang Dou's transfer order, Li Guangheng, a hereditary official of hundreds of households who served as a team officer under the command of Tian Changguo, Qian Zong of Baoan Prefecture at that time, was transferred to Shunxiangbao to serve as a team officer under Gao Shiyin's subordinates. In this way, Gao Shiyin has two team officers under his command, one Yang Tong and one Li Guangheng.Transferred together with Li Guangheng was Gao Xun, a small flag official in Baoan Prefecture who was the chief of the armor at the time under Chi Dengshan's subordinate.

Both of them were satisfied with Wang Dou's arrangement, although in the eyes of outsiders, many people thought it was not worthwhile to be transferred from the bustling state city to the remote Shunxiang Fort, but in the eyes of the two, the Shunxiang Fort was a Gao Shiyin is also one of the confidantes of Mr. Gao Shiyin in the place where Mr. Morality made his fortune. Working under Gao Shiyin's command, he has many battles and many opportunities for promotion. He can rely on his own ability to fully display what he has learned.

When Li Guangheng went to Shunxiang Fort to take office, he took ten servants with him. He used to have a team of 50 soldiers, but he also had six or seven spares. In Zhoucheng, he was already very clean, but Now in Wang Dou's army, there are 74 soldiers in the first team, including the servants, Li Guangheng only has 54 soldiers, so he is short of [-] soldiers.Fortunately, Gao Xun led Yijia's troops to supplement his team, but he was still short of ten soldiers, so he had to slowly replenish in the future.

The two of them traveled a long way, and as soon as they arrived at Shunxiang Castle, they were attracted by the brand-new atmosphere inside and outside the castle.

……

The news that Gao Shiyin was going to lead the troops to fight against the bandits spread in Shunxiang Fort. All the military households in the fort were envious.In the place of Shunxiang Fort, it can be said that every household has males enlisted in the army, and the income of each family, apart from guarding the fields assigned by the adults, is based on the rewards that the men of the family get for killing the enemy. Usually, the men of the family make more military exploits , the distribution was more and more seized, and the voices of the women and children in his family were a bit louder among the neighbors.

Over the past few years, Wang Dou's military exploits and reward system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Shun Township Fort. At present, the natural disasters of Daming, even if the family has a field, can only barely let the family live a life of food and clothing. To drink and eat meat, you have to rely on your own men's ability to kill the enemy.

And if you want to get the reward, you also need your own man to have the chance to fight, right?Therefore, after Gao Shiyin won the first batch of opportunities to fight, he regarded himself as a hero and was proud of himself in front of his subordinates. Wherever he went, he was greeted with admiring gazes from his subordinates, and people from various families invited him to have a drink.

After Gao Shiyin came back from Baoanzhou City, he was in a hurry to train the sergeants. At this time, a voice came from the orphan barracks in the east of Xinbao, Shun Township: "Sister Yue'e, have you really thought it through? How about going out to fight against the enemy?" It's no small thing, one accident... the seven sworn sisters of us have been allocated fifty acres of land, if we don't have to worry about farming, we can live a good life."

Xu Yue'e had already held her long spear at this time, and she was holding a shield that she had bandaged herself in her left hand. She was wearing leather armor, and she looked quite heroic.

Hearing her sister's worries and dissuasion, she said coldly: "What's the use of digging in the ground? I also want to fight with the army, make military achievements, and get rewards. Let those who look down on us see, I Xu Yue'e, I won't lose to them!"
