Chapter 251 He Kegang
Bai Kai and others ran along the official road with their captured horse supplies and their heads. After several hours of rushing, they arrived at the Ming army camp in Liangxiang at dawn... Since the mission was completed and they were close to their own camp, Bai Kai and others did not avoid taking off their blood-stained clothes and revealing their armor.
It was already dawn, so the people on the official road could see the figures of Bai Kai and others clearly, and the people along the way pointed at them.
"Look, these people are the heroes of our Ming army. So many horses must have been snatched from the Tatars. These people are manly!"
"Yes, with these military officials, those Tartars dare not fight, right?"
"It's hard to say. Who knows if the Tartars will? Didn't the Tartars just reach the capital a few years ago?"
The people who did not propose to discuss the matter, when Bai Kai and his team arrived at the Ming army camp, the entire camp was sensation. Today, the guards of the camp was Lu Xiangsheng's Super Biao Camp. When the soldiers of the Super Biao Camp saw the twenty-five Qing soldiers' heads hanging immediately by Bai Kai and others, and the fifty battle horses, armor and weapons, and numerous baggage seized, even when they were the elites, they took a breath.
Bai Kai and others entered the camp after showing the token. Everyone led six or seven horses and walked in the camp with their heads raised. Many soldiers along the way came out to watch. Looking at the heads and baggage piled on the horses, the soldiers along the way showed envious expressions in their eyes. In the eyes of these professional soldiers, the horses were piled with more than the heads, they were simply piles of silver and military merits.
When Bai Kai came to the Yingzhou army camping place, Wu Chengfeng, the big boss who was not in charge at night, met him in person. He smiled so hard that he couldn't see the eyes. Wu Chengfeng patted Bai Kai's shoulder hard and laughed, "Good boy, if you have you, I really make our Yingzhou army look better."
It’s no wonder that Wu Chengfeng is so happy. Now Liangxiang gathers 60,000 to 70,000 troops from Liaodong and Xuanda, and the two military groups gathered together. Because of the quarrel between Yueyang and Wu Sangui yesterday, the conflict between the two sides has aroused the conflict between the two sides. Today, Bai Kai and these people entered the camp with so many Qing soldiers' heads in a high-profile manner, probably it has spread throughout the camp at this time. Wu Chengfeng is naturally extremely happy to have such a good thing.
At this time, in the camp of the Yingzhou Army, Lu Xiangsheng was leading the generals to stand not far away and staring at these cheerful soldiers. He turned his head and smiled at Yueyang: "Zhenghong, you have trained good soldiers. Eight Yebubu will fight. He actually seized more than 20 heads. This is very rare in the border army. It seems that your soldiers are not trained in vain!"
Yue Yang bowed and said, "It depends entirely on the supervisor's teachings. The soldiers under his command will not dare to take credit for the last general."
"Hahaha..." Lu Xiangsheng laughed and pointed at Yueyang and said with a smile: "Look, look... I will just say that Yueyang is worthy of being a scholar and can't even seek credit. This is too modest!"
"Hahaha……"
Lu Xiangsheng became the boss, and the boss said, so the people below naturally had to support him. Wang Pu also smiled and said, "Brother Yue, you don't have to be humble anymore. We are very happy that thousands of people can seize dozens of heads in a battle, but you just seized more than twenty ones without taking them at night, which is enough to prove that the elite soldiers under your command are much better than some people who can only yell but can't do things."
"snort……"
As soon as Wang Pu finished his words, he snorted coldly and rang from the side. Wang Pu turned around and saw that it was Wu Sangui. He grinned and said, "Oh, it turns out to be General Wu Shen, why? Is there something wrong with what I said just now? Or did the soldiers under General Wu Shen also seize more heads?"
"You..." Wu Sangui
Hearing Wang Pu's special tone to increase the tone of the head, the generals of Xuan Da laughed. However, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and others were around forty years old, and they were all second-rank officials. Naturally, they could not ridicule the Liaodong Army and Wu Sangui like Wang Pu. The playful expression on their faces could not be concealed. The meaning was obvious. How about it? The soldiers and horses in our Xuan Da Town are powerful. Don't look at how you know how to cry and make money every year, but if you beat the Tartars, you have to count the soldiers and horses in our Xuan Da Town.
Wu Sangui and the generals beside him were so angry that their faces turned blue, but the facts were in front of them, they had no choice but to admit it. After all, they said that if they were not convinced, you would seize dozens of heads to open our eyes.
Just as everyone in Liaodong was looking at each other, a general with a righteous face of thirty years old walked out of the Liaodong generals and said loudly to Lu Xiangsheng: "The last general is naturally admired by Lord Yue's command, but if he takes up his courage, the generals of Liaodong will not lose to anyone. The ancients also said, "Don't judge heroes by the victory or defeat for a moment. The last general believes that as long as he fights the Tartars, we will not fall behind General Yue."
"Um!"
Seeing the popularity and talking in a very proud manner, Yue Yang couldn't help but look at him unexpectedly, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "I wonder what this general is called?"
The visitor bowed to Yueyang and said, "I am the right governor of Ningyuan, Liaodong, and Ningyuan, and I have met Lord Yue!"
"Who can be gang?"
Yue Yang was shocked when he heard this. This guy who came up with his feelings was not a simple person.
It is estimated that people in later generations are not very familiar with the name He Kegang. Indeed, He Kegang is not as famous as Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, Mangui, Zhao Lu and other generals, but in fact, He Kegang is a buried hero.
At this time, his information appeared in Yueyang's mind. He Kegang, a native of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. He was formerly a subordinate of the Liaodong governor Yuan Chonghuan. He served as the Central Army of Ningyuandao. He was honest and brave, with good leadership and command. He was good at pacifying soldiers. Zhao Shu, a famous Liaodong general who had died in battle, once wrote a memorial to the court: "You can be kind and brave, honest and diligent, and be good at planning, and his talent is not with the ministers. I am so strong that I can be appointed as the assistant general and still be the chief officer of the ministers. Even if the expenses of a town are cut, the use of a town is still there. I misunderstood that those who reported to the court for five years will rely on the power of these three people to fail to work. I would like to punish my ministers."
Zhao Su praised He Kegang so much in his memorials, and even asserted that his talent was still above Yuan Chonghuan. Although it was not necessarily accurate, it could also be seen from this. Moreover, in the 14th year of Chongzhen, He Kegang and his generals wanted to surrender due to exhaustion of food, but He Kegang refused to obey. Zu Dashou ordered the two of them to go out of the city to kill them. Kegang's color remained unchanged, and he did not say a word, and died with a smile.
Thinking of this, Yue Yang's expression became a little hot when he looked at He Kegang... (To be continued...)
