ps: Then ask for a monthly pass!

After the atmosphere in the capital was ignited, a wave of heat was formed, and with the help of the imperial court, the wave was even higher than the wave.

On the sixth day of February, the day after Wang Chengen entered Beijing to report victory, tens of thousands of people gathered on the Chaoyangmen gate tower and in the city gate.

As the representative of the soldiers who went to Beijing to report victory, Wu Guerrilla led some colleagues in the Beijing camp triumphantly leading thousands of soldiers from the Beijing camp to maintain order near the city gate.

Yesterday, when people were still immersed in the excitement of the news of the great victory, another news that made everyone even more excited came. The South Central Army was about to escort the captured generals and officers’ armors, flags, etc. Hundreds of Jiannu captives went to Beijing to sacrifice under the Que!

The news spread quickly inside and outside the capital. Knowing that the victorious officers and soldiers were about to enter the city to offer prisoners, the common people, regardless of the severe cold, ran to occupy their seats before the sun came out, and some even came out to occupy their seats in the middle of the night.Some of the smarter Chaoyangmen guards simply used ropes to block off areas one by one, and then sold them at high prices to wealthy households in the capital who came to watch the excitement.

Along the official road, on the streets on both sides, on the eaves, on the treetops, and even on the masts of the tank boats in the river, there are people waiting there.

"Old Wu, thank you! The emerald you gave me has been seen by someone from the jewelry store. At least I can earn half of the money! I will send the women at home for those few beads!"

The lieutenant general guarding the Chaoyang Gate smiled softly with Wu Guerrilla. Although the two were several levels behind in official ranks, they were children of the Beijing camp.Isn't that a deep background?Especially when Wu Guerrilla ran down this trip, he not only made military achievements, but also established a relationship in front of the two father-in-laws, "Have you fought against Jiannu together!" In the emperor's heart, it will soon rise to the sky.If you don't fawn at this time, when will you fawn?

"I'm coming!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and it began to surge towards the center of the street.

In the distance, dozens of carts flamboyantly flew the Great Tomorrow Sun and Moon Flag and the Iron-Blooded Army Flag of the South Central Army, coming in a mighty way.

"Look! That's the pseudo-dragon flag of the slave chief!"

The sharp-eyed people saw the leader's car at a glance.Hanging on the wooden frame is the gold-woven dragon banner of Yuetuo, the leader of the Manchurian Banner of Zhenghong Banner.On a cross-shaped wooden frame under the dragon banner, Yuetuo's armor, flags, and weapons were all listed there in a grand manner.

Cheers immediately flooded down the avenue.

On the vehicle that followed, there was a real dragon banner inlaid with a white flag Manchuria Gushan, under the careful handwriting of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.This cup is marked as Doduo, the owner of the Manchurian Banner inlaid with a white flag inlaid with a pseudo-slave chieftain.on subsequent vehicles.It is filled with all kinds of slavery flags.Zhenghong Banner Manchuria, Bordered Red Banner Manchuria, Zhengbai Banner Manchuria, Bordered White Banner Manchuria, as for the banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners, they were randomly piled up in one place.It shows disdain for beheading the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers.

"Look! On the armor of the leader of the false slave chieftain!"

A general manager of the Jingying Qiang pointed to the holes in Yuetuo's armor with some surprise. The armor leaf was full of holes and bloodstains. It is full of marks of knife marks and gun stabs.

"Brother, now that you know what cowhide is, can you brag about it?"

Wu Guerrilla pointed to the countless flags of the slave army on the dozens of vehicles that came one after another. Tiao Zhangjing covers all levels of military officers and leaders of Jiannu.Without exception, all of these thousands of military flags are riddled with bullet marks, and some have traces of fire.

After these armors and flags with obvious official status, seven or eight large carts were piled up in a mess with all kinds of weapons with a strong sense of slavery: broken tiger teeth pick knives, birch The fine iron sickle with the handle, the heavy iron bone, and the tiger gun with only half the barrel, from these weapons, we can see the cruelty of the battles.

After a brief silence, there was a deafening cheer.Even though the common people in the capital had a broad vision, they had never seen a person of the level of a Tartar being captured and beheaded by his own army, and the capture was so rich.

"To make all the folks and elders happy! The general next to me is the hero of our Beijing camp soldiers who participated in this battle and killed the slave chief Yuetuo!"

Vice General Liu took the opportunity to flatter his brother.

Immediately, the people who came to watch this grand event became more and more excited!It turned out that the hero who beheaded the slave chief Yuetuo came from the Beijing camp?Is it a person from the capital?Immediately feel proud!

The crowd flocked to Wu Guerrilla and the dozen soldiers beside him, full of earth-shattering cheers, "Hero! Hero!"

Wu Guerrilla and his dozen or so soldiers who participated in the battle were already flushed with excitement as if they were drunk, and they kept clapping their hands in salute.

"Look! Your Excellency is wearing the waist knife of a Tartar! He is indeed a good man who beheaded a Tartar!"

Someone in the crowd cheered.

The excited crowd broke through the obstruction of the soldiers of the Beijing camp, lifted a dozen people like Wu Gueran, and paraded them on the street to praise officials!Under the reverent eyes of the people along the way, amidst the cheers and jumps, these soldiers of the Beijing camp who fought hard against the Jiannu all of a sudden felt that, on this day, it would be worthwhile to die that day!They all held their heads high and proudly proud.

What's more, the girls who were thinking about spring, seeing such heroic and heroic men, couldn't help throwing handkerchiefs, sachets and other things to these soldiers.

Chongzhen decreed to place the banners of the captured armor, swords and guns on Tianjie, and ordered Yousi to set up a tent for the people to watch.

Immediately, the people in the capital fell into joy.The road to watch the armor and banner weapons is even more crowded, and the weather in early spring is crowded with people sweating profusely.If you want to find an ideal viewing position, you have to stuff a few Nanzhong Tongbao with the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi.

At this time, the streets and alleys in the capital are full of excited people of the capital, and they often meet familiar soldiers of the capital.It is unavoidable to come forward for a chat and inquire about the situation of those heroes who beheaded the leader of the Tartars.In teahouses, restaurants, brothels, brothels, everyone is talking about this great victory.

And the several Nanzhong shops near Chaoyangmen are crowded with people. Countless wealthy households in the capital and officials and dignitaries come to visit and make a lot of purchases.By the way, I have a friendship with Mr. Li in Nanzhong.

These officials are very clear that right now, the Ming court needs this victory too much, and it needs to improve the morale of the army and the people, so when the Qing soldiers have not yet left the customs.Can't wait to celebrate the victory.Release pent-up emotions.It also declared to all the people in the world that the imperial court is capable of protecting the people.Although the relevant meritorious personnel, the rites, officials, and military departments are still discussing intensely, how to reward them.but.With such great military exploits.If Mr. Li can't be knighted.It may be difficult for the imperial court to deal with the mouths of all the people in the world.

At this time, if you don't seek friendship and get close, don't you wait for someone to seal Uncle Hou before you come to post a post to ask for a meeting?

but.At this time, the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies were having a headache and arguing endlessly.

The first thing to discuss is how to arrange the rescued people in Jinan and how to comfort the Shandong area.To regain Jinan, the two eunuchs of the Nanzhong Army and the Supervisor of Rites jointly reported the rescue of tens of thousands of captives. In addition to dozens of nearby counties, nearly a million people who were harassed and ravaged by Jiannu had no food or clothing. Hope The imperial court can allocate food, rice, clothing and medicine, or at least instruct these people how to deal with it.

The Ministry of Finance spread his hands, with an innocent face on his face, "I have neither money nor food! I'd better ask His Majesty to send internal funds to help the victims!"

As a domestic slave of Chongzhen, the Supervisor of Rituals would naturally not agree to hand over the little family property that he had accumulated so hard to make a fortune to this group of people. If we want to make a fortune, our family will not make it ourselves? !

What's even more confusing is, how should meritorious soldiers be rewarded?

You must know that the cabinet and military officials have almost no say in the military exploits this time.The two trips to Guangzhou to invite troops to the north are all thanks to the Supervisor of Rites.And the father-in-law Wang Chengen who returned to the Supervisor of Rituals to preside over the overall situation in front of him is even a ruthless person who personally bombarded Jiannu.

In this way, the first contribution was naturally made by Li Jian and Li Shouhan.As for the merits of the officers and men below, if they dare to deduct a little bit of greed, I am afraid that the big men in the Beijing camp will take the lead in clamoring.The emperor himself also planned to put the best students in the Beijing camp to good use after a while.

Resettlement of refugees, rewards for meritorious officers and men, these problems were on the cabinet's head, but the eunuchs, the chief of ceremonies and the eunuchs, were all elated, as if they also made military achievements in the Jinan battle.

On the contrary, Yang Sichang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was quite able to make peace with each other, knowing how to figure out the thoughts of Chongzhen, Lijian, Li Shouhan and others, and find a solution from it.

He made a suggestion to Emperor Chongzhen that the tens of thousands of rescued people in Jinan, as well as refugees from dozens of surrounding counties, asked General Li to come up with a statement for proper resettlement. After all, there are still The East slaves were rampant. In order to prevent the people from being taken captive again, it is better for General Li to manage them first. As for what to do with these refugees in the future, the imperial court listened to General Li's opinions and did not control them remotely.

Although this plan was strongly opposed by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Supervisor of Rituals, it undoubtedly ignored the more than [-] people and the people of dozens of prefectures and counties, and even handed them over to Li Shouhan.But the Chongzhen Emperor certainly had no interest in paying attention to their voices of opposition.On the contrary, they think that Yang Sichang's words are old-fashioned and seek the country.

Not to mention anything else, just to resettle and relieve these tens of thousands of people and dozens of states and counties need a large amount of food, rice and money. Where can Emperor Chongzhen get it?At the moment, I agree with Yang Sichang's suggestion that for the rescued Ming people and the prefectures and counties that were harassed and ravaged by the slaves, Li proposed relief and resettlement plans, and the imperial court approved them all.

The second matter is how to mediate the relationship between Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting who came all the way from Shaanxi and Li Shouhan who is currently in Jinan.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Governor Hong Chengchou and Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting led their troops northward into the Wei capital.Chongzhen obeyed Yang Sichang's proposal, and entered Hong Chengchou as Minister of the Ministry of War and Deputy Capital Censor, Governor of Ji and Liao Military Affairs, and Sun Chuanting as Governor of Baoding, Shandong and Hebei Military Affairs.

However, at that time, they didn't know where Li Shouhan was, so the strongest of the Qin army was the most important.Ming issued an imperial decree to order the world.Now more than [-] Southern Chinese troops are gathered in Shandong, and they have made great achievements in winning the first place.How can Li be subservient to Sun Chuanting?

Even if Li Shouhan himself doesn't care, can his group of arrogant soldiers bow down to Sun Chuanting?I'm afraid that when the two armies arrive at one place, the conflict will immediately arise!

The strength of the Chinese army in the south.With excellent equipment, generous food and salaries, and the credit for regaining Jinan, killing the slave chieftains, and beheading [-] people, how can you look down on the Qin army who only dealt with the bandits and paid at most seven months a year?I'm afraid it's good if we don't fight!

After some debate, the princes of the imperial court showed their magical skills of peace and mud, and ordered Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who had just left the Taihang Mountains, to work with Baoding governor Zhang Qiping's department to recover Baoding, Yizhou and other cities.

Order Li Shouhan to lead the army slowly north along the canal.Recover Cangzhou, Linqing and other places along the way.The governor led Zu Kuan, the general of aid and suppression, and Zuo Liangyu, the general of the guards.

"The soldiers who built slaves and invaded the bandits were divided into left and right wings, and our Ming army also had east and west routes to deal with it. Li Shouhan, the commander of the East Route Army, and Sun Chuanting, the commander of the West Route Army, were the commander-in-chief of Hong Governor Qin Wang's soldiers and horses."

Such a plan can naturally be accepted by the cabinet and the supervisor of rituals.Both sides are happy.

then.After some open and secret fighting.The newly popular eunuch Wu Liangfu grabbed an envoy to read the imperial decree to the South Central Army, and led hundreds of Jinyiwei and Jingying soldiers who had spent money on him out of Beijing to the south.All the way to Tianjin carefully, ready to take a boat to Shandong to read the will.

On the day he left Beijing, Li Shouhan in Jinan City was having a fit with Wang Dehua.

The reason is that Zu Kuan, the former general of the aid and suppression army stationed in Dezhou, led thousands of troops to the vicinity of Jinan, and sent people into the city to deliver official documents. Require.

"My lord, this guy is just a man who was born as a domestic servant under Zu Dashou's family. Thanks to Zu's bragging in front of the emperor, the emperor didn't use his despicable background to vigorously promote him, so he is today. I don't want to repay the king's kindness just in case. Every time a slave rides away, he even pretends to be a military exploit by killing good people. Now he is blatantly telling me to give up half of the city of Jinan to him, and to provide him with food and salaries for several months for military use? He is also brazen enough to make me The captured former officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army were envoys to bring them back so that they could return to the establishment? What a joke! What kind of virtue does he have, how dare he dare to act so presumptuously in front of me? Could it be that some bigwig in the court instructed Zu Kuan to do this?"

On the North Pole Pavilion on the north shore of Daming Lake, Li Shouhan and Wang Dehua originally took a group of civil and military officials to visit Daming Lake in their spare time, intending to appreciate the "first pavilion, third garden, third floor, fourth floor" Ancestral hall, six islands, seven bridges, and ten pavilions", but I don't want to have a rare leisure time, and nothing will be destroyed by Zu Kuan.

Li Shouhan, who originally wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of lotus flowers on four sides, willows on three sides, spring scenery on the city and lake, was so angry at Zu Kuan's official document that was so rude, arrogant and ignorant to the extreme.Standing beside the three brigade commanders, more than a dozen regiment commanders drew their knives in their hands, shouting and cursing, waiting for the order from the guard, they will go out of the city to capture Zu Kuan and whip him.

"General, this guy is so rude! Our family is also very angry! However, this guy is a character from the ancestral family in western Liaoning, and he was a powerful person when Mr. Lu suppressed the bandits that day. If you reprimand him bitterly, just I'm afraid it will..."

Although he and the South China Army are now sharing weal and woe, Wang Dehua has a headache when he thinks of the Guan Ning army who is too big to lose.Among them, the power of the ancestral family is the strongest among the generals in western Liaoning, and the relationship is intertwined through marriage and sworn relationships.The previous beheading of the Guan Ning army attached to the rebellion was an invisible enmity with the Guan Ning army.Now if there is another conflict with Zu Kuan, I am afraid that the leaders of the Nanzhong Army Group and the Guan Ning Army will never have peace.

After wiping it a few times, Shou Han tore to pieces the official document that said the Aid to Suppress General Soldier's defense, and raised his hand to hit the envoy's face.

"Go back and tell your ancestral servant. This is the general's answer!"

"You! You are so courageous!" The emissary also refused to show weakness at all. Ever since he followed General Zu to fight in various parts of the Central Plains, even a high-ranking official like the governor would want to comfort General Zu with good words when he met General Zu. , How dare you act so boldly?

"Tell you, Jinan, it was this general who led the entire army to fight bloody battles. It is this prince, who is an angel, with such a respectable status. He even beat the drums to cheer on that day. What virtue do you have? Just open your mouth and ask for it." Half of Jinan City is stationed for you?"

"How dare you brazenly ask for the same rations and salaries as our army's soldiers? What's more, how many months? Good! You go and chop off thousands of real slave heads! At this time, the slave chief Dorgon is on his way out of Shandong. On the road, the road stretches for dozens of miles and is full of captured people and property escorted by Jiannu. After defeating Jiannu and recapturing the goods and property, the people talk about the food and grass for several months, even if I have to cook for myself! In addition, there is no half grain of rice!"

"Come on!"

Liao Dongzhi, Wu Biao, Lu Yunsheng, Mai Tiansheng, Huang Yishan, Yanlong and others stepped in to salute together, the armor and saber collided and clanged together.

"Beat this guy with forty army sticks, and the accompanying people will each have twenty lashes, and drive them out of Jinan!"

"The end will obey orders!"

Under the command of the officers, dozens of personal soldiers dragged the messenger to the ground like wolves and tigers, then pulled off his pants in front of the main hall of the Arctic Pavilion, and waved their army sticks to greet him.

Under the two-foot-high stone platform of the North Pole Pavilion, the group of Guanning soldiers who had been confiscated with swords and stripped of their armor all lost the prestige of ravaging and raging like fire and ruthless like wolves when they were dealing with the people, trembling. It is no different from pigs and sheep that are about to be slaughtered.

A member of the Cao Gang was very happy to do this kind of work, and while waving a whip made of raw buffalo hide wrapped in copper wire, he beat the group of Guan Ning army masters, and couldn't help shouting.

"My lord, Zu Kuan is rude and presumptuous, just reprimand him. Why do you have to go to war?" His face was full of concern, and in his heart, Wang Dehua was already happy about the conflict between Shou Han and Guan Ning's army. flower.

"Those bastards who only know how to waste the country's money and food are also worthy of presumptuousness in front of this general? Tens of thousands of people dare not shoot an arrow at more than a thousand real slaves, and let the useless people who let the slaves come and go to carry their children and treasures, let alone mere mere Zu Kuan, who was born as a domestic slave, even if the whole army comes, I will not be afraid!"

"Exactly! Our Southern Central Army beheaded [-] Jiannu with less than [-] soldiers. If you are not convinced, go and behead these heads!"

Wu Biao spat at the emissary who was beaten out of breath. (To be continued..)
