Ming politicians

() With such a great victory, Su Tiancheng was going back to Jiangning County, but it was very troublesome to bring more than 5000 captives. It was impossible for the captives to be handed over to the local government, and there was no way for the local government to digest them.

According to the normal practice, Su Tiancheng can wait for the imperial decree in Yingshan County, or the imperial edict from the Nanjing Ministry of War to capture Zijinliang. The imperial court definitely has an imperial edict, but the time is different now. During the first month, he does not want to be delayed outside , Go back to Jiangning County early, reunite with your family, Wang Furong and Geng gave birth, this is a crucial task, although Lu Tianming, Liu Zhongji, Su Pingyang and others are paying attention, but I still have to see it with my own eyes and implement it personally, I'm completely relieved.

Going back is the old way, entering Anqing Mansion from Yingshan County, passing through Chizhou Mansion, Taiping Mansion, and entering Yingtian Mansion.

But the speed is much slower.

The news that the officers and men of the Jiangning County Inspection Department wiped out more than [-] rogues led by Zijinliang and captured Zijinliang alive has spread, causing great repercussions.

The magistrate of Anqing Mansion and the Commander of Anqing Guard, when Su Tiancheng passed by Anqing Mansion and was about to go back, they waited at the official road and brought a lot of wine, meat and food. Thousands of sergeants wiped out almost [-] rogues. Such a powerful combat power should not be underestimated.

Of course, there is also the contribution of the Anqing guards, the memorial has already been uploaded, maybe the reward will arrive soon, and such a big victory has been achieved.It can be compared with Hong Chengchou's victory in Western Australia, the most important thing is.The leader of the rogue bandits, Zijin Liang, was captured. Zijin Liang was the convener of the 36th Battalion and the nominal leader of the rogue bandits.

Su Tiancheng unceremoniously accepted wine, meat and food. Along the way, because there were too many people, the food consumption was huge, even though he had gold with him.But it is not easy to buy so much food, and it is even more inconvenient during the Spring Festival.

The captives of the rogues have not been abused in life, and they can eat well every day.They can still drink occasionally, so they are very honest. This is not the treatment of prisoners. The food is no different from that of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng was secretly happy.It's just that they are full, and a few meals will completely deprive these rogues of other ideas. It is estimated that at this time, even if someone encourages them to escape.They won't do it either.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Su Tiancheng and his party entered Chizhou Mansion.Pass through Tongling County.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Su Tiancheng and his party arrived at Taiping Fucheng.

The official road passes in front of the Fucheng, Su Tiancheng does not plan to enter the Fucheng, the speed of the march is slow enough, from Anqing Mansion to Taiping Mansion, eight days, at this speed, go to Jiangning County, see if you can catch up The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This is something that cannot be helped. Su Tiancheng ordered the soldiers not to abuse the captives. When he was in the territory of Anqing Mansion, there was a sergeant of the Anqing Guard who whipped the captives and was reprimanded. He was almost executed by the military law. Since then, no one To use the words of Su Tiancheng, since he has put down his weapon, he is no longer an opponent on the battlefield. How to deal with it must be handled according to the requirements of the imperial court.

To vent your anger on a prisoner of war is not a soldier, it is a coward's performance.

Everyone remembered what Su Tiancheng said, and no one admitted that they were cowards.

During these days, there were also some conversations between Su Tiancheng and Zijinliang. Zijinliang probably knew that he would not survive. When he was escorted to the stable, he was beheaded, so he talked a lot with Su Tiancheng , including many of my own feelings, and also analyzed the situation of some leaders of the 36th Rogue Battalion.

Zijin Liang specifically mentioned three people, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong. He believed that these three people had the air of kings and might have something to do in the future.

Su Tiancheng somewhat admired Zijinliang's ability to make judgments. According to historical records, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had indeed become popular.

Su Tiancheng was discussing with Sun Yuankun and others whether to replenish food and grass in Taiping Fucheng, and the scouts came to report quickly.

"Report, Lord Tang Shiji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and General Zhang Taining, the garrison of Nanjing, are waiting for you at the gate of Taipingfu City."

Su Tiancheng was shocked, he never imagined that when Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining arrived in Taipingfu City, it seemed that the emperor's imperial decree had arrived, and the two lords must have come to condolences and announce the decree.

"Xiong Zijian, Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang, Luo Chang, Liu Tiehan, Deng Hui, you follow me to meet the two adults. The team keeps moving at a normal speed. Sir Qu, please take command."

Qu Qingze nodded, his identity was different, and his military exploits were also clear, and there was nothing wrong with meeting Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining afterwards.

Liu Tiehan and Deng Hui seemed very excited.

Their identities are different. Although they have changed, the stains of the past always exist. Now, being able to meet high-ranking officials of the imperial court is of extraordinary significance.

Of course, Zijin Liang also wanted to take him there directly, after all, this prisoner of war was too special.

A quarter of an hour later, under the escort of two hundred soldiers, the crowd arrived outside the gate of Taiping Mansion.

Su Tiancheng got off his horse first, and he had already seen the sergeants of the two battalions of Nanjing standing outside the city gate, and Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining standing in the middle, smiling all over their faces.

"Your Majesty and colleagues, I pay my respects to Mr. Tang and General Zhang."

"Lord Su, I and General Zhang have been waiting here for a long time, and you have made great contributions."

Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining had friendly smiles on their faces. They never expected that the officers and soldiers of the Jiangning County Inspection Department could accomplish such a remarkable feat.

Su Tiancheng quickly introduced Xiong Zijian and others around him.

Both Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining knew Xiong Tingbi well, and when they learned that Xiong Zijian was Xiong Tingbi's son, they kept saying yes. When introducing Liu Tiehan, Su Tiancheng specifically said that Zijin Liang was captured by Liu Tiehan. As for Deng Hui, Su Tiancheng also specifically said that it was Deng Hui's idea for the army to go to Yingshan County.

After all, Zhang Taining is a military commander, he first came to Zijin Liang, what does this famous bandit leader look like, is he the superhuman being described by others.

Zijin Liang, who has become a prisoner, has long lost the aura of a commander, and what remains is a kind of numbness and indifference.

The Taiping Mansion has already set up a banquet, but at this time, it is not the time to eat wine.

Qu Qingze led the army and finally arrived outside the Fucheng.

The crowd followed Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining and entered the government office of the Taiping Mansion. Inside the mansion, spectators crowded the streets. Everyone wanted to see what Zijin Liang looked like. As for the Jiangning county magistrate Su Tian Cheng has long been described by the common people as the rebirth of Guan Gong.

Quite a few common people expressed emotion when they saw the handsome and young Su Tiancheng, and they were also a little disappointed when they saw the slightly ordinary Zijin Liang.

Quite a few people ran out of the city. There were [-] captives outside the city. These were all rogues.

Government office lobby.

Tang Shiji finally took out the imperial decree.

"By God, the emperor's edict said... Minister of the Ministry of War, Governor of Zhizhe, Military Counselor Tang Shiji, Nanjing Defense Minister Zhang Taining, Jiangning County Magistrate Su Tiancheng, Jiangning County Chief Bo Qu Qingze, Jiangning County Inspection Department Inspector Sun Yuankun, Deputy Inspector Liu Shiliang, deputy inspector Luo Chang, hero Liu Tiehan and Deng Hui escorted the bandit leader Zijinliang to the stable."

Su Tiancheng immediately put on a bitter face.

Now it's all right, I'm going to the stables, and the days when I return to Jiangning County will be dragged on until the year of the ox and the month of the horse. I guess when I return to Jiangning County, the first month has already passed.

However, if everyone can follow to the stables, there must be rewards, which is not a loss.

Faintly, Su Tiancheng was a little worried, Jiangning County is only so big, how should he arrange so many heroes, if these people are torn apart, it would not be a good thing.

After the decree was announced, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze followed Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining to the Three Halls.

"Lord Su, Sir Qu, I have discussed with General Zhang that the officers and men of the Jiangning County Inspection Department have fought hard and can go directly to Jiangning County so that they can reunite with their families. As for the five thousand captives, the two battalions The sergeant is in charge of being escorted temporarily to Nanjing Jingying, waiting for the emperor's imperial edict. Among them, the main generals of the rogue bandits will be selected and escorted to the stables. This time, the Jiangning County Inspection Department will select [-] guards, plus Xiaoqi battalion All the sergeants." <Geng has given birth, and there are still many things that need to be arranged. "

"Hehe, Mr. Su has thought a lot. Aren't there still officials in Jiangning County for these things? You just need to make arrangements. The imperial decree of the emperor has arrived for two days, so we can't delay it any longer. Get ready. Tomorrow we will set off directly from Taiping Mansion to the stables."

Meals are arranged in restaurants.

After this time of battle, Su Tiancheng felt that he hadn't been to a restaurant for an unknown amount of time, and was almost used to the life of marching and fighting, so he still felt a little uncomfortable returning to this peaceful environment hastily.

The sergeants outside the city had already been specially arranged, and almost all the officials in the government and county government were mobilized. In addition, the major restaurants and inns in the city were continuously transporting wine and meat outside the city.

The inspection department and the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion still dare not drink alcohol. This is a military rule, and no one dares to violate it before getting a military order.

Three thousand sergeants from the two battalions in Nanjing officially took over the custody of the prisoners. Sun Yuankun personally came to give the order, and when the brothers were free to drink wine, everyone began to drink happily.

Both Tang Shiji and Zhang Taining knew about all this, Tang Shiji nodded slightly in approval, Zhang Taining was very happy, patted Su Tiancheng on the shoulder, and praised him strongly. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
