Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 230 Credit Assessment

Chen Xun dragged his tired body back home. Chen Qin'an saw Chen Xun so tired and immediately came over and asked with concern: "Dad, what's wrong? But you have heat stroke?"

"No, Peng Shi is probably going back to his hometown, Ding You, here at the cabinet, eh!" Chen Xun waved his hand and sighed.

"Ah, Mr. Peng Ge wants Ding You, eh!" After hearing this, Chen Qin'an understood why his father was like this.

"Old Qi, when Cunde comes back, remember to remind me that I am going to visit you. Whether I can keep you or not depends on him!" Chen Xun explained to Chen Qin'an.

Chen Qin'an looked at Chen Xun in surprise.

"With the great victory at Shanhaiguan, Lin Cunde's title will definitely be further improved. Moreover, this person is estimated to control the defense of the capital together with Wang Ying. The key is that His Majesty has great trust in Lin Cunde. In this battle, His Majesty can be said to have put his life and property in his hands. He died, and Lin Cunde did not live up to His Majesty's trust!

Lin Cunde will definitely become more and more powerful in the future!

I have no choice but to beg him and let him speak in front of His Majesty, so that even if I leave the cabinet, I will not be liquidated!

You see, many ministers will be unlucky this time! very many! Among the six ministers, it is estimated that at least 60% will be replaced within three years!

Cabinet, I and Gaogu, Shangluo, the best result is to become an official and return to my hometown. I have nothing to do, and I am sixty, but Shangluo and Gaogu are still young. It is estimated that it will be impossible to become an official by then. The only place to go is, That is, Beizhen Fusi, and then exiled to Nuergansi!

I don’t want you to be exiled too, so I can only go to Lin Cunde. You must remind me about this! I'm afraid that there will be too many things going on by then, and I can't think of so many things! "Chen Xun was helped to the study by Chen Qin'an, and he sighed as he walked.

"Yes, Dad, I remember!" Chen Qin'an also said with a solemn expression.

"No one would have thought that a seventeen-year-old boy could kill 50,000 people in Wala in one battle, and he would probably send his troops north to suppress Liaodong Town!" Chen Xun said with a wry smile.

It’s not that I’m incompetent, or that I don’t know how to calculate, but no matter how you calculate, you still can’t believe that a seventeen-year-old boy who has never been on the battlefield has actually won such a victory. Who dares to think! Who can be sure beforehand?

"Dad, will Lin Cunde help? You even extorted two thousand taels of gifts from him before!" Chen Qin'an looked at Chen Xun worriedly and asked.

After hearing this, Chen Xun smiled and said: "He is not a stingy person. Two thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money to others, but to him, it is just a small amount of money! Lin Cunde's character , I appreciate it! Don’t worry, he won’t argue with me over this trivial matter!”

"But, when the time comes, I will be in a high position, so I don't need to beg you. Besides, I haven't begged you. If I don't help you, there's nothing you can do about it!" Chen Qin'an frowned and said to Chen Xun.

Chen Xun let out a long sigh and said: "If that's the case, then I have no choice. Wang Ying can't speak to me. I looked down on this person before. Now, I guess he also looks down on me. If I go to him, I'm asking for trouble. Forget it. Well, everything depends on God’s will, it depends on God’s will!”

After hearing this, Chen Qin'an also remained silent.

At this moment, by the lake where Lin Cunde, Sun Qiqiu and Deng Yu often played, Sun Qiqiu and Deng Yu also made an appointment to sit here together after hearing the good news about Shanhaiguan.

Both of them were very happy for Lin Cunde.

After Lin Cunde became an earl, he also came here once and spent half a day together.

Not to mention before becoming an earl, they would gather here on the last day of every ten days!

Now that Lin Cunde is out fighting, the two of them also come here to sit and drink tea on the last day of every ten days!

"Next time we come back, we should call Cunde the Marquis!" Deng Yu said while looking at Sun Qiqiu with a smile.

"I guess that's for sure. I'm so happy that we actually met a Marquis friend, haha!" Sun Qiqiu said very happily!

"Yeah!" Deng Yu smiled and nodded, and continued: "Although we may not be able to help if we are promoted to Cunde in the future, if we are bullied and go to Cunde, Cunde will definitely help. This is how the world is. When others see that you have no backing and bully you, you don’t dare to say anything? You can only endure it, and we won’t have to endure it in the future. If you are bullied, just go to Cunde and let Cunde find fault with him!

But having said that, we are familiar with Cunde, so don’t tell the outside world. If people find out, they will probably come to us soon. Then we will ask Cunde for help, but that won’t work! "

"That's right, as long as this matter is not exposed to the outside world, it's just a sentence. We can know it ourselves. Cun De is a good person!" Sun Qiqiu said with a smile.

Today's good news came. Sun Qiqiu lit a firecracker at home to celebrate his good friend's victory. Deng Yu did the same and gave rewards to his family's servants. Although it was not much, he was happy.

On the Shanhaiguan side, after Lin Cunde woke up in the morning, he started to sort out the merit book. The merits of the soldiers below were reported from 100 households to 1000 households. After the 1000 households were counted, the report included the 100 households. The commander counted all the merits. The credit of Qianhusuo includes the credit of Qianhu and others.

The commander's merit book needs to be handed over to Lin Cunde, and Lin Cunde needs to check it carefully.

However, Lin Cunde has already written the top ten memorials. The top ten are Xu Xianyong, Yang Xiangzheng, and Xiang Qing. The second is Liang Dong, the commander of Shenji Battalion Zhao Bin, and Shi Heng. The third is Xiang Xiang. Zhang Zhan and Ding Shouzheng who went on the expedition, and the fourth most meritorious are Liu Mingli and Sun Qian who followed Yang Xiangzheng to defend the city, exactly ten of them!

As for the three people who were tied for first place, Lin Cunde knew that Zhu Qiyu would definitely be granted the title of earl. After all, Zhu Qiyu now needed his direct military generals. They need to go to various places to guard, such as Liaodong Town. If the general officer is to be replaced at that time, they will be selected from three of them. Of course, the most likely one is Yang Xiangzheng, because Yang Xiangzheng has withstood the test!

Xu Xianyong and Yang Xiangzheng are probably transferred to other places to guard!

After Lin Cunde had written the top ten memorials, he still needed to give memorials to the commanders below, including the Thousand Households, Hundred Households, Trial Hundred Households, and the General Banner. He also needed to write memorials highlighting the merits of the soldiers. Basically, as long as they participated in the war, each hundred Each household will select a few soldiers with outstanding merits and promote them to small flags, general flags, etc. Lin Cunde needs to select these soldiers based on the merits reported by the officials below.

Lin Cunde was writing a memorial, and Shi Heng and the others were sitting in the central military tent making tea.

They actually wanted to know how the merit book assessed their merits, especially Yang Xiangzheng. Although Lin Cunde agreed to him that his merits were the same as Xiang Qing's, he was still a little worried. After all, he had never been on the battlefield.

After Lin Cunde made the statistics, he came over with the basic memorials and gave the memorials for the merits of the general flag and above and the merits of the soldiers to Shi Heng and Xu Xianyong, saying: "You two should also take a look. Is it okay to make such an assessment?" It’s also a headache, with so many people and such a big victory, it’s so difficult to select suitable officers!”

"Ah, you don't need to show us this, right?" Shi Heng looked at Lin Cunde in surprise and said. Logically speaking, Lin Cunde didn't need to show them such a memorial.

"Look, take a look. It's my first time as a general. I'm really afraid of delaying things and making the soldiers below dissatisfied. Take a look and tell me if there are any deficiencies. By the way, you can also tell me about this book. Look, Marquis Wu Qing, your contribution is ranked second, General Xu and Xiang Qing, Yang Xiangzheng's contribution is tied for first!" Lin Cunde said and handed the memorial to Yang Xiangzheng, Yang Xiangzheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was very grateful.

Lin Cunde is indeed a man who does what he says, and what he says is a tie.

When Shi Heng heard that Yang Xiang was tied for first place, why was he second? I can’t figure this out a bit!

"Wu Qinghou, I owe you a favor. In this battle, I asked the two of them to throw dice. Whoever is older will go out with me, and whoever is younger will defend the city. Otherwise, both of them will go out. I am worried about you. Those soldiers in the Fifth Army Camp cannot be suppressed. If we are defeated, we still need you to guard this place, so Yang Xiangzheng and I made a promise. He and Xiang Qing have the same credit, so Wu Qinghou, please help me!" Lin Cunde said as he raised his hands to Wu Qinghou.

"This is such a big deal, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it should be done!" Shi Heng felt much better after hearing what Lin Cunde said. In other words, Yang Xiangzheng's credit was actually not enough, but Lin Cunde had promised it, so he could only do this. .

Since Lin Cunde's explanation was very reasonable, Shi Heng did not dare to attack.

"Thank you very much, Marquis Wu Qing, Yang Xiangzheng. When you are rewarded for your merits, remember to treat Marquis Wu Qing to a drink!" Lin Cunde said to Yang Xiangzheng with a smile.

"Definitely, thank you Wu Qinghou!" Yang Xiangzheng was also smart. He immediately stood up and said solemnly to Shi Heng.

Shi Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why do you say thank you? But drinking is necessary. You have to be affectionate and have a few meals with us!"

"Hehe, definitely, definitely!" Yang Xiangzheng said with a smile!

Xiang Qing was also smiling and saying at this moment: "I'm lucky, I won the dice, so I'll treat you as well. I'll have a few meals as well, Mr. Yang!"

"Haha, okay, I'll have some wine when I get back to Beijing!" Lin Cunde said with a happy smile, and the four of them also laughed.

Then they started to read the credit book written by Lin Cunde, and expressed any opinions they had in person.

After reading the merit book, it was already afternoon. Lin Cunde went to the city wall with his hands behind his back and looked outside Shanhaiguan. Now Lin Cunde is here, waiting for the imperial edict, and Lin Cunde has already ordered to go down to the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Camp, and the Fifth Army Camp. Twenty thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry must be prepared! Set out at any time, the civilian husband has loaded the supplies into the truck today!

"Sir!" Yang Xiangzheng was behind Lin Cunde at this moment.

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde turned his head and glanced at Yang Xiangzheng.

"Thank you, sir!" Yang Xiangzheng said solemnly, raising his hands to Lin Cunde.

"Why are you saying thank you? When the time comes, we will go to Shanhaiguan and fight more battles. Are you still worried about not getting any credit?" Lin Cunde looked at Yang Xiangzheng with a smile and said.

"Yes, thank you sir!" Yang Xiangzheng also looked at Lin Cunde with a smile and said.
