Chapter 588 Three Consecutive Kills Achievement!
At the foot of Ganjun Mountain, in the central army tent, Gansu Governor Yu Zhizhen, Military Counselor Lin Tailai and a group of generals who participated in the war were celebrating.

The Bushitu Jinong tribe, whose grazing area was located north of Gansu, colluded with the sea bandit Huoluochi and attempted to force their way through the Hexi Corridor and head south to join Huoluochi.

This battle was planned by Counselor Lin, who set up an ambush at Ganjun Mountain and defeated the Bushitu Jinong tribe. According to preliminary statistics, more than 600 people were beheaded and countless people and livestock were captured.

Only Bushitu Jinong's family escaped from the battlefield under the desperate protection of their personal guards.

Now that the battlefield had been cleaned up and it was confirmed that there were no more enemies around, the civil and military officials who participated in the battle began to drink and celebrate.

Lin Tailai, who brought victory and merit to everyone, was very popular. He and Governor Yu exchanged humility for a while and sat side by side at the first seat.

When they were half drunk, the left protector Zhang Wen hurried in and whispered something to Lin Tailai.

Then Lin Tailai apologized to Governor Yu, stood up and walked out.

Governor Yu asked the guerrilla general Dayun in confusion, "Where is Counselor Lin doing?"

As the person who understood Lin Tailai best in this big tent, Dayun replied dimly: "He may have gone to get the head of Bu Shitu Jinong."

Governor Yu was confused. Did Da Youji drink too much? Why didn't he understand what you meant?
The war has been fought and the battlefield has been cleaned up, so where did the heads come from?
Not long after, Lin Tailai suddenly returned to the big tent with three heads in his hands.

Governor Yu was very surprised and asked, "Could this head really be Bu Shitu Jinong?"

Lin Tailai replied: "It's not just Bushitu Jinong, it's the whole family of three! All in one place!"

Governor Yu was surprised and asked, "Where did the head come from?"

He didn't think that Lin Tailai fabricated false reports. A young and distinguished person like Lin Tailai would not do such a thing. But wasn't it too strange that he suddenly cut off the head at this time?
Lin Tailai thought for a moment and replied in all seriousness, "I sent my servants to chase and search for them, and found the escaped Bu Shitu Jinong and his family. The credit goes to me."

Governor Yu: “.”

It is better to believe Lin Tailai’s statement, otherwise it cannot explain these three heads.

Dayun grew up in Gansu and served in the army in a border town for twenty years. He was very familiar with the situations of the tribes around Hehuang.

He looked at the head of Bushitu Jinong and said with emotion: "There should be only two governors and co-governors left in the Ming Dynasty who were appointed as governors of the barbarian chieftains, but they were all beheaded by Counselor Lin."

Then Dayun pointed at the head of Bushitu Jinong and said, "When the peace talks were first held, the Tumed leader Altan was given the title of Shunyi King, and the Aoerdusi leader Jineng was given the title of Dudu Tongzhi, second only to Shunyi King.

But Bushitu Jinong was the eldest grandson of Jineng, and inherited the title of Dudu Tongzhi, and was appointed Jinong of the Aoerdusi Department of the Three Major Departments of the Right Wing. "

Then Dayun continued, "Wala Tabunang, who was beheaded by Lin Canzan in Xining, was nominally a Wanhu of Yongshaobu, one of the three major tribes on the right wing, and was also appointed as a deputy governor.

The reason why they dare to cause chaos may be related to their self-esteem.

But it is really a coincidence that the governors and deputy governors representing the Aoerdusi and Yongshaobu were both beheaded this month by Counselor Lin. "

When the civil and military officials in the big tent heard Dayun's explanation, they could not help but show great respect to Lin Tailai.

Although the Northern Barbarians were fragmented, there were hundreds of tribal leaders, large and small, each managing their own tribes.

Roles like Jinong and Wanhu are now just symbolic titles and do not have actual ruling power. They can only manage their direct subordinates.

But after all, the bloodline and identity are there, and they may have appeal at certain times.

Counselor Lin successively killed Wanhu of Yongshaobu and Jinong of Aoerdusi. This achievement is really beyond the reach of others.

Lin Tailai could only smile bitterly. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he was unable to express them.

Did Lin Tailai want to kill Wala Ta Bunang and Bushitu Jinong, two unlucky guys with high nominal status?

Lin Tailai was just an emotionless merit machine. Someone else said, "If we only need a chieftain from the Tumed tribe of Shunyi King, then Counselor Lin can gather 30,000 households from the right wing of the Northern Tartars, that is, three consecutive kills of the three major tribes."

The words were already on his lips, so he didn't want to pretend to be sorry to the audience. Lin Tailai held a large bowl of wine and said calmly:

"Last spring, when I was mediating the issue of the succession of the Shunyi King on the grassland, I helped Madam Zhongshun kill the eldest grandson of the old Altan, Chelike. Is this considered a great chieftain of the Tumed tribe at the level of a lord of ten thousand households?"

Everyone: "."

This wave really hit me tightly, I can't dodge it!

The eldest grandson of Altan and former nominal leader of the Tumed tribe, Chelike, the eldest grandson of Jineng and former nominal leader of the Aordusi tribe, Bushitu Jinong, and the former nominal leader of the Yongshao tribe, Walata Bunang, were all killed three times in a row?
In order to facilitate unified command of the overall situation, Governor Zheng Luo temporarily moved to Jincheng, which was slightly more centrally located.

But just as they settled down in the temporary headquarters in Jincheng, they received an urgent report from Yu Zhizhen, the governor of Gansu.

Governor Zheng originally subconsciously thought that something had happened again, but he did not expect it to be a great victory.

Looking at the battle report, Governor Zheng almost doubted his life and felt a sense of unreality as if he was cut off from reality.

This victory at Ganjunshan, like the previous victory in Xining, was completely incompatible with the overall situation of shrinking defense and training and recovery.

It’s not that Governor Zheng is narrow-minded and can’t stand seeing others make achievements, but he just feels very weird.

How to say it, these two great victories seemed to appear out of nowhere for no reason, without any rules or logic, and were abrupt and unexpected.

Originally, according to Governor Zheng’s plan, such a great victory would only be possible after two or three years of training.

There was no trouble in Xining for the time being. Mr. Shi, the top inspector and half-step governor, came to Jincheng to report to Governor Zheng and ask for money and food rewards.

The government troops would certainly not be satisfied if they were not rewarded for the great victory of beheading more than 800 people.

In border towns, the consequence of dissatisfaction among government troops is likely to be mutiny.

Seeing Governor Zheng staring blankly at the battle report, Lord Shi asked, "What is the governor thinking about?"

Governor Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I seem to see a large southern banyan tree suddenly growing out of the dry Gobi Desert. Don't you think it's strange?"

Although Lin Tailai passed the military examination and served as a military officer for a few days, he had never had any serious training in a border town, and except for the mutiny, he had never commanded a battle.

But this month he suddenly became a military genius, won a series of great victories, and even killed the enemy chiefs. What kind of natural born general is this?
Lord Shi only said three words: "Han Derang"

These three words made Governor Zheng silent, and he even felt a little unbalanced.

What kind of world is this? Decades of qualifications, experience, and wisdom accumulated by me are not as good as a few pillow talks?

Let's get down to business. Lord Shi asked again, "What about the reward for the victory in Xining?"

Zheng Luo came back to his senses and frowned, saying, "We suffered heavy losses in Tao and He before. We need money and food everywhere. Now the treasuries are too tight."

Moreover, Governor Zheng had never expected a great victory, and had no preparation for rewards and supplies.
Mr. Shi added, "I heard that the imperial court had previously allocated 100,000 silver coins from the Imperial Household Department to pay for the horses."

Governor Zheng replied helplessly: "This money has too many uses and is very important in many areas.

For example, the former deputy general of Ningxia Town, Haibai and his son, led 3,000 elite soldiers from Ningxia Town to support us and demanded 10,000 taels of silver as a reward.

Lord Shi begged for a few times, but to no avail, so he could only say, "Wait until Counselor Lin sends the prisoners out of the country, and then talk to the governor!"
