Chapter 137 Worst award ever

In the Battle of Jiulian Mountains, at the end of the battle, there were only more than 200 people left, kneeling on the ground and desperately crying for mercy. At this time, how can the officers and soldiers care about you so much?He only cared about beheading one more head to add a little more credit, and ignored these people's begging for mercy, slashing wildly with his knife. Fortunately, Mr. Yangming arrived and took a closer look: Hey, stop quickly, those people are not thieves at all, why are you hacking? The officers and soldiers pretended to be ignorant and said: Lord Governor, they are thieves. If they are not thieves, why do they want to live in this thieves' den?

Mr. Yangming said: A person who is in a den of thieves is not necessarily a thief.You can see that they are all in rags, unkempt, and skinny. They are obviously slaves captured by thieves. I stepped forward and asked, as expected.These two hundred people are all people who were deceived from the people by the thieves in order to build the nest in Jiulian Mountain.Before coming here, we agreed to pay wages, and let them go home when the work was done. When they got to the mountain, they were immediately imprisoned in Jiulian Mountain, and they were made to serve hard labor. If they died of illness and exhaustion, the thieves sent their bodies directly down the mountain. Throw it away, don't even bury it.Poor these people have endured for so many days, they finally hoped for a savior, but the officers and soldiers are more ruthless than bandits, and they want to use their heads to make up the count.

The suppression of thieves in Wutou was the last battle in southern Jiangxi and western Jiangxi, and it was also the fastest battle in military history.In this battle, from the time the officers and soldiers went out to the end of the battle, it was only one night, and most of the time was spent on the road, and the time for fighting against each other was even shorter. In this campaign, thirty-eight thieves' nests were destroyed, twenty-nine heads of big thieves were beheaded, thirty-eight heads of small thieves were beheaded, 2,006 heads of small thieves were beheaded, and eight hundred parents, wives and children of the group of thieves were captured. Ninety of them captured 122 horses and oxen, 2,870 pieces of weapons, and 76 taels and 6 cents of thief silver.

Mr. Yangming wrote the memorial and reported it to the top. The leaders at all levels picked up the memorial and read it, and they were immediately amused: Wang Shouren, you are just talking nonsense.The thieves you killed and captured were nearly three thousand, but the silver you captured was only more than seventy taels, and an average of fifty thieves was only one tael. Where did you, Wang Shouren, find so many poor thieves?Although the thieves were poor, the court finally knew that Mr. Yangming was a master of thieves and should be rewarded. Mr. Sheng Yangming was the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was rewarded with twenty taels of silver.

When Mr. Yangming saw this reward plan, he immediately cried.why?Because Mr. has no son. There are a lot of wives crowded in Mr. Yangming's house. Every day, you beat and pinch each other, making a lot of trouble. But the belly of these women is getting flatter and flatter, which makes Mr. Yangming endlessly annoyed.If you don't even have a son, isn't the sacred teaching lost?So Mr. Yangming adopted a son of his younger brother Wang Shouxin named Zhengxian.Mr. Yang Ming was very happy to have the opportunity to set up a formal establishment for his son, so he expressed his thanks and humbly said that he didn't need it.

Guess how the court responded? The imperial court replied: Wang Shouren, since you insist on not wanting this award, forget it... Ah, forget it, how difficult it is to get a formal establishment.Mr. Yangming killed more than 10,000 people here, and it was so hard to win such an opportunity, how could it be said to be forgotten. He hurriedly wrote to all his friends in the officialdom who could speak up, asking everyone to come out to uphold justice and regain the official establishment for his son.So all the officials wrote a letter together, guess how the court responded? Saying it can piss you off!

The court said: Wang Shouren, when you suppressed the thieves for the first time, you were rewarded with twenty taels of silver. Adding up the two times, you have already been rewarded with forty taels of silver.The court's silver is not blown by strong winds, why don't you know how to be satisfied?As a grassroots cadre, don't just think about asking for treatment and bonuses from the top, but make more selfless contributions to the court... and so on.For three full years after that, Mr. Yangming argued with the court, and three years later, he finally got back the official establishment of Jinyiwei's hereditary thousand households on behalf of his son.
