Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 175: Loyal Bones Buried in the Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers!

No matter the civil servants or generals in this hall, they all have a good understanding of Sichuan's geography and administrative divisions, so after a few glances, they couldn't help admiring.

"Good picture, really good picture."

"Such a detailed map, in the past, I am afraid that it was only seen in the place where the military secrets were stored in the capital."

"With this picture, we can truly know what Sichuan looks like."

"···"

Because there were not many people, everyone gave a few words of admiration before stopping.

Auntie Zhu asked, "Which Qing family would like to speak first?"

With the picture, everyone became more active, and several of them immediately wanted to stand out, but Long Wenguang took the lead.

Long Wenguang said: "The minister has served in Sichuan for many years, and now he is the governor, so let's throw bricks and attract jade."

The rest of the people who wanted to come out heard this and secretly slandered: You are already the governor, and you are still throwing bricks to attract jade?
However, Long Wenguang walked up to the big map self-consciously, and suddenly felt that the map gave him a better impression.

Men, who doesn't like pointing at the map?
Especially this beautiful big map.

After pondering for a while, Long Wenguang's eyes fell on the northeast part of the map, and said: "The minister participated in politics in northern Sichuan before, so let's talk about the places in northern Sichuan.

Songfanwei in the northwest corner is vast and dangerous, without prefectures and counties, and most of them are Tibetan, Qiang and other chieftains.

Now guarding Songfanwei is the deputy general (deputy commander) Zhu Hualong.

This man is from Hunan. Since the reign of Tianqi, he has participated in many wars to suppress the chieftains in various places.

In July, as soon as I arrived in Chengdu, I sent a letter asking this person to bring troops to help. I don't know if there was something wrong with the messenger on the way, or there were other reasons, but there is no news so far. "

When Long Wenguang was talking about Zhu Hualong, Hao Guangming on the other side also quickly searched for Zhu Hualong's historical materials, and read out the content for Aimee Zhu's reference.

"Zhu Hualong, courtesy name Qingyun, was born in Chenxi, Hunan.

In the year of Tianqi, he followed Wang Sanshan to put down the rebellion of An Bangyan, chieftain of Shuixi, and served as the captain. After many efforts, he was promoted to the defense of Yuanzhou, Hunan.

He also suppressed the Wumiao rebellion and was promoted to the capital.

He returned to Ma Shouying with Qin Liangyu in the war, and was promoted to general of Huangling for meritorious service.

Later, Zuo moved to the deputy commander of the China Association of Coastal Defense, pacified the pirates on Changshan Island, and was promoted to the governor.

Because of her old age, she asked to resign and return to her hometown.He transferred Pianfu (deputy general) of the Central Army to put down Chen Chaoming's rebellion in Hengzhou.

Later, he was recommended by Chen Xinjia, added the title of Zuo Dudu, and served as the deputy general to guard Songfanwei.

Historically, he will regain Maozhou, Long'anfu, and Weizhou this year, and defeat Sun Kewang.

Later, Hauge, Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty, entered Shu and sent people to surrender, but Zhu Hualong refused.

Emperor Yongli ascended the throne and named him Marquis of Ningxi.

Later, Zhu Hualong attacked Long'an Mansion for the second time, and was defeated by Li Guoying, a general of the Han Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty.

In the second year of Yongli, Wu Sangui attacked Sichuan and Shu, and recruited the rebels with a high-ranking official, Houlu. Zhu Hualong betrayed his adopted son Chen Jiasheng. "

After reading Zhu Hualong's material to Auntie Zhu, Hao Guangming couldn't help sighing, the great Ming Dynasty has a population of [-] to [-] million people, no matter whether it is civil or military, there is no shortage of talents, but it's a pity that the Ming court can pick out and use them well.

Auntie Zhu didn't think too much about it, she just thought that Zhu Hualong was capable of fighting, loyal and filial, he was really a good general.

Then she asked aloud: "How does Governor Long think the Jian Guo Mansion should be arranged on Songfanwei's side?"

"Here," Long Wenguang pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "Songfan Guard is the Jilong Guard. Only those who are good at fighting can suppress the chieftains. Why don't you let Zhu Hualong continue to serve as the deputy general of Songfan Guard."

Auntie Zhu nodded slightly after hearing this, but said: "Then pass an edict to inform Zhu Hualong of my palace's appointment as the supervisor of the country, and appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the Songfan garrison, and reorganize the soldiers of the Songfan garrison as the garrison. How about it?"

Long Wenguang immediately praised: "Jianguo is wise."

Li Yan, Liu Linchang and others also nodded, thinking that such an arrangement is acceptable.

This decree fully expresses the trust of Zhu Hualong in the Jian Guofu. As long as Zhu Hualong is not too resistant to the princess's task of supervising the country, the possibility of accepting it is still very high.

Of course, promotion and assignments are small tricks. The victory of the First World War in Chengdu and the 30 million troops under the control of the Supervisory Mansion are the basis for ensuring the surrender of all places.

"Where's Long'an Mansion?" Auntie Zhu asked again, "Who are the chief officials and generals now?"

On the map, Long'an Mansion is sandwiched between Songfanwei and Baoning Mansion, and adjacent to Chengdu Mansion to the south. It's not that big, but its location is quite important.

Long Wenguang said: "Long'an Mansion should now be headed by the prefect Zhan Tianyan. In addition, I heard that Zhen Qiang Shen General Zhao Ronggui retreated to Long'an Mansion after he was defeated in the Zhongzhou Battle."

"Does Governor Long know anything about these two?"

Long Wenguang said: "I don't know much, I just know that Zhan Tianyan was born in Enli Bagong. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, he filled the vacancy of the magistrate of Shiquan County in Sichuan. He was very good at internal affairs. In the [-]th year of Chongzhen, he was promoted to the prefect of Long'an.

As for Zhao Ronggui, he was from Shaanxi, and he seemed to be from Fan Yiheng's Taoist general.

He was also quite good at fighting, but it was a pity that there were few major generals in the Zhongzhou battle, and he was finally defeated by the bandit army. "

Long Wenguang didn't know the details of Zhan Tianyan and Zhao Ronggui, but Hao Guangming found out.

"Zhan Tianyan, courtesy name Yanwu, is from Fujian.

In the first year of Taichang, the boy tried the case of the county.

After that, he failed in many trials, until the first year of Chongzhen, he used the example of grace to raise the tribute.

It took ten years in Chongzhen to make up for the lack of county magistrate in Shiquan, Sichuan.

At that time, Li Zicheng entered Sichuan and wreaked havoc in Sichuan, capturing 38 counties in Sichuan, Shiquan County was one of them.

When Zhan Tianyan came to office, the county town was in ruins and there were refugees everywhere.

He called small officials and businessmen in the village to study how to restore people's livelihood.

Then they borrowed money, recruited refugees, developed production, and relieved the hardships of the people. Not only did the people in Shiquan County settle down quickly, but even the people in Lin County heard the news and came to settle down.

At that time, he was promoted to the Tongzhi of Qingyang Mansion because of his outstanding political achievements.

But at that time, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's remaining troops were raging in northern Sichuan, blocking the road.

Xun Press Chen Liangmo asked Zhan Tianyan to be the co-prefect of Long'an.

Not long after, it happened that the prefect of Long'an was dismissed due to corruption, Zhan Tianyan acted as a co-prefect of Long'an, and soon became a regular.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong captured Jianzhou and wanted to attack Long'an, but he didn't enter Long'an because he heard that Zhan Tianyan was a clean and honest official.

In history, whether it was the period when Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan or the period when the Qing army attacked Sichuan and Shu, Zhan Tianyan never surrendered, but has always stood firm in the northwest of Sichuan.

At this time, he showed his extraordinary military talent again. First, he recruited local soldiers to fight against Zhang Xianzhong, and then designed to defeat the Qing army general Li Guoying, and resisted the Qing army for seven years.

Later, when Wu Sangui attacked Sichuan and Shu, he first recruited Zhan Tianyan with a high-ranking official Houlu, but Zhan Tianyan scolded him and refused.

Later, Zhan Tianyan ended up like Zhu Hualong. He was betrayed by his subordinates and tied up in Wu Sangui's army.

Seeing Wu Sangui, he yelled at Wu Sangui for biting his own clan, and he was worse than a jackal.

Wu Sangui's subordinates were so angry that they threatened loudly, and Zhan Tianyan cursed furiously, but was hacked to death by Wu Sangui's subordinates. "

After finally reading Zhan Tianyan's information, Hao Guangming couldn't help sighing after a pause, "Historically, when your father died, he cursed Daming as a minister of subjugation. what."

When Aimee Zhu heard this, she didn't know what to say, but felt inexplicably sad.

Then he sighed a long time and said: "I pass on the decree of my palace, promote Zhan Tianyan to participate in politics in western Sichuan (from the third rank), and concurrently serve as the magistrate of Long'an."

Seeing that Auntie Zhu stayed silent for a while after Long Wenguang finished speaking, and then suddenly sighed and offered Zhan Tianyan a promotion, they couldn't help being stunned.

On the other hand, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi had more experience, and they quickly realized that they probably guessed that Hao Guangming had shared the information about Zhan Tianyan's later life on the other side.

And Zhan Tianyan is a capable and loyal person to Daming, that's why Auntie Zhu reacted like this.

Although the orders of the Jian Guo Mansion are all from Aimee Zhu, unlike the official court that still needs to go through the cabinet and the Six Divisions, but after Li Yan guessed the reason for Aimi Zhu's decree, he still replied: "Yes."

Of course, this decree will not be written immediately - such a formal meeting, there are civil servants in the temple to keep records, and this matter can be handled after the meeting.

Although the rest of the people either guessed part of it or didn't understand it at all, no one raised any objections.

Not to mention military generals, among the civil servants, Liu Zhibo and Zhang Jimeng are relatively upright.

But both of them knew Zhan Tianyan quite well, and Liu Zhibo had originally planned to send Zhan Tianyan to Zhan Tianyan as the deputy envoy of the inspectorate and the military preparation officer in western Sichuan, in charge of farming and training troops in northwestern Sichuan before the Jiashen national calamity.

Now that Aimee Zhu directly promotes Zhan Tianyan to participate in politics in western Sichuan, it can be regarded as coincident with his thinking.

Leaning slightly, Aunt Zhu said again: "Where is Zhao Ronggui, who can tell?"

She actually said this to Hao Guangming.

Immediately, Hao Guangming shared Zhao Ronggui's information on the other side.

As Long Wenguang said, Zhao Ronggui was Fan Yiheng's standard battalion general when he was preparing for the Shaanxi army.

Zeng defeated Yao Tiandong, the Huanglong uprising army, and even defeated Li Zicheng.

During the Battle of Zhongzhou, the reason why Zhao Ronggui was defeated by Sun Kewang was not only the lack of soldiers, but also the lack of arrows, an important armament.

It's just that compared with Zhu Hualong and Zhan Tianyan, Zhao Ronggui's later resume is not so glorious.

In the first year of Longwu, that is, next year, after learning that the Hongguang court in Nanjing was destroyed by the Qing army, he voted for the Qing Dynasty and led the army to defeat Zhu Hualong in Maozhou, forcing Zhu Hualong to return to Songfanwei.

However, Zhao Ronggui's benefactor Fan Yiheng was appointed governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi by the Nanming court, and his sworn brothers Yang Zhan and Cao Xun also insisted on being Ming generals, so he was recruited by Fan Yiheng and returned to Nanming.

At that time, it was the first year of Yongli, and it was when Wu Sangui first entered Sichuan to manage the strategy. Zhao Ronggui relied on the suddenness of his rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, defeated Wu Sangui, drove him to Hanzhong, and pacified the whole Sichuan.

It's a pity that the Qing army was strong after all, while the Nanming army was difficult to unify, and there were many civil strife.

In the second year of Yongli, Wu Sangui made a comeback and defeated Zhao Ronggui in a row in northern Sichuan.

Then Wu Sangui chased and killed Zhao Ronggui like a mad dog, from Baoning to Long'an, and then into Longnan, Shaanxi, forcing Zhao Ronggui to flee back to Baoning, and finally died fighting in the barren mountains of Jianzhou.

In the Chengyun Hall, Yang Zhan, who had sworn vows with Zhao Ronggui, didn't speak, but Liu Linchang spoke.

He said: "I used to participate in politics in Eastern Sichuan, and I know Zhao Ronggui well. This man is actually good at fighting. His soldiers were basically wiped out in Zhongzhou. He retreated to Long'an to prepare for military training.

Now that the Chengdu garrison has two more towns, it is better to order Zhao Ronggui to come to Chengdu to meet Jian Guo.

If he is willing to come, he can be allowed to lead a battalion back to Long'an, and continue to serve as the general of Zhenqiang.

In this way, he can avoid wasting time and money by training troops in Long'an. "

After learning Zhao Ronggui's information from Hao Guangming, Auntie Zhu felt that this person could still be used, so she nodded and said, "Let's do this matter according to Liu Xieli's instructions."

"Yes."

Aimee Zhu immediately said, "It goes without saying about the situation in Baoning, but who will tell us about the situation in Kuizhou?"

"I previously participated in politics for northern Sichuan, so I know something about Kuizhou."

Everyone heard the words and looked to the left, but it was Long Wenguang who stood up again.

　Here I want to say that this chapter is more than 3000 words, of which the information of three historical figures accounts for more than 1000 words. The author knows that it is not good, but it is definitely not intentional.

　　I just want to let all friends who like the history of the late Ming Dynasty like the author know that the loyal and good generals in the late Ming Dynasty are not only Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yan Yingyuan and others who must be written in most novels, but others such as Chen Junchong, Zhan Tianyan and Zhu Hualong are also loyal and capable is also worth knowing.

　　Therefore, I have written too much information, please forgive me.

　　Finally, let me talk about the rhythm of the novel.

　　The author himself doesn't like to read the kind of novels with rough plots for the sake of fast pace, but likes the ones with thinner plots.So write it yourself, naturally.

　　The rhythm of the plot may be a little slow, but it is definitely written seriously.

　　Of course, I will speed up where it should be, and I have certain ideas about the outline of the plot later, so please be more tolerant and patient.

　　Thank you.
