Chapter 274 The capital shakes

() Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After receiving the memorial, Zhu Youjian couldn't sit still. One hundred soldiers of the Jiangning battalion actually beheaded 87 Tartars, and they were Red Banner Tartars. After so many years, he had never seen such a big victory.Quite a few frontier soldiers were able to kill two or three Tartars, and they all reported their merits to the imperial court.

The victory came so suddenly that he couldn't believe it. Could it be that Su Tiancheng lied about the military situation? There is no such need. Su Tiancheng's mission is to invite Sun Chengzong to come out of the mountain. There is no need to exterminate the Tartars. The Jiangning Camp There is no such task, it is completely by chance.

If all this is true, the fighting power of the Jiangning Battalion would be too terrifying, far surpassing the Guanning Iron Cavalry back then.

Looking at Wang Chengen standing aside, Zhu Youjian couldn't help asking.

"Eunuch, what do you think of such an important victory? Can you consider that the Jiangning battalion was transferred to the north to deploy defenses, and Su Tiancheng also followed."

Seeing Wang Chengen's reluctance to speak, Zhu Youjian was a little unhappy.

"Eunuch, you have been by my side for so many years, don't hesitate to speak, just say what comes to mind, Su Tiancheng can speak so directly in front of me, why do you have to worry about it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant is telling the truth. This servant remembers that the last time Lord Su was here, he talked about not being too hasty. This servant has a feeling that the fighting power of the Jiangning Battalion is indeed very strong. However, they only have nine thousand Sergeant, if these people are transferred to the north to defend, they will be stretched. They will be full of Eight Banners Tartars. The main cavalry will have [-] people. The Jiangning Battalion is hard to resist. If the Jiangning Battalion attracts the attention of the Tartars, they will spend The slaves are worried that Jiang Ningying can't bear it."

Zhu Youjian nodded again and again.

"That's very good. I'm really a little too hasty. Now that you've thought about it, tell me how I should reward you."

"The tree is beautiful in the forest. The wind will destroy it. The slaves felt that Mr. Su had already kept a low profile as much as possible, but the Jiangning Camp still attracted everyone's attention. This time, they wiped out 87 Tartars in Baoding Mansion. Their reputation is even greater. If they are going out, if the Jiangning Camp wants to play a bigger role, they still have to devote themselves to development, but their time can't be too long, the emperor can make a clear request to Master Su. There is a time limit."

"Okay, okay, what you said is very good, let's do it according to this opinion, but. The imperial court doesn't have that much money, and the matter of the money needs to be taken care of by Su Tiancheng. Anyway, this kid can find the money by himself."

This time, Wang Chengen couldn't talk anymore. In fact, Qin Sande had already helped Su Tiancheng to complain. The Jiangning Camp's expenses were too high, and he still hoped to get support from the imperial court. However, Wang Chengen didn't dare to say such things casually.

But there is one more thing that Wang Chengen can say.

"Your majesty, I'm a little worried. Governor Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, has always envied the Jiangning camp. He has already made several proposals to the cabinet. I hope that the Jiangning camp can be assigned to his name and participate in the extermination of the bandits. Together with Master Su, Continue to command the Jiangning Battalion and participate in the extermination of the bandits together."

"This is a good thing. I have also considered it. Two days ago, Wen Aiqing specifically mentioned this matter. I am still hesitating. The Jiangning Battalion will participate in the extermination of the bandits. I will definitely achieve brilliant results. If I can wipe out the bandits as soon as possible, I will also I can free up my hands to deal with Houjin's attack."

Wang Chengen's body trembled slightly, he was startled, Su Tiancheng would really predict, it is expected that the emperor would agree to transfer the Jiangning battalion.

"Your Majesty, servants have different opinions."

"speak."

"Your majesty, the slaves are mainly worried that the generals at all levels are vying for the command of the Jiangning battalion. They all know that the Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting. Caught in the battle above."

Zhu Youjian nodded and didn't speak. He was clear about the situation.

"My servant thought that the Jiangning Battalion not only wanted to wipe out the bandits, but also the Houjin. Master Su was able to train such a brave and capable army in just over a year after he arrived in Jiangning County. If he was given more time, he could train more troops. Sergeant, at that time, the Jiangning Battalion had grown stronger, and it was easy to deal with the rogues."

"Hehe, I understand what you mean. To preserve strength, the Jiangning Battalion is the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty. Good steel should be used on the blade. I still understand this truth."

At the gate of the capital city.

Xu Eryi, the new military doctor, is waiting here.

He originally wanted to let it out, but who knows, this time he was promoted two levels in succession, from the head of the Ministry of Industry of the sixth rank, to the minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the fifth rank, which caused a great commotion.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to ask to be released, the burden on his shoulders is heavy, and the responsibility is even greater. He can only do his best to do things well and live up to the emperor's grace.

Today, on behalf of the imperial court, he made a special trip here to wait for Su Tiancheng and his party.

One hundred soldiers of the Jiangning Camp beheaded 87 Tartars. The civil and military officials of the court are already known to everyone, but this news has not been leaked to the society. Everyone can't believe it. They must see the heads of the Tartars, or Only when the corpse is found, can it be believed. Otherwise, if the publicity is spread, and there is a situation of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, it will lose the face of the court.

At noon, Su Tiancheng and his party finally arrived at the city gate.

Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji followed.

Seeing Sun Chengzong, Xu Eryi didn't dare to put on airs, he was a veteran in the imperial court, and he was highly respected.

"I pay my respects to Lord Sun and Lord Lu."

"Your Majesty Xu is too polite. I congratulate you. I recognize you as a doctor in the Ministry of War. Now, there are bandits and raids inside, and the invasion of Hou Jin outside. The Ministry of War has a very heavy responsibility."

"The next official will keep your lord's teachings in mind."

The corpses of 87 Tartars were all transported to the capital.

This is also the suggestion of Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji. They have already predicted that Jiang Ningying's victory this time will definitely cause a huge sensation. It’s because everyone has seen the body of the Tartar, and it only has the head of the Tartar. Sometimes, because of blood stains, etc., it is difficult to identify, but with the corpse, there is no doubt.

Xu Eryi brought along the officials of the Ministry of War. These people were familiar with the physical characteristics of the Tartars and came here to identify them.

As soon as Xu Er looked at Su Tiancheng, he looked a little embarrassed. It was clear that he didn't believe it.

Su Tiancheng didn't mind, and waved his hand.

Soon, the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp moved the 87 corpses of the Tartars out of the carriage and laid them out one by one.

The red light armor that the Tartars were wearing was still on and hadn't been taken off.

There is almost no need to identify it. At a glance, you can tell that it is a Tartar, and it is a Tartar with a red flag.

There was a sudden commotion at the gate of the city. Countless people gathered around and watched the commotion. So many corpses of Tartars were placed outside the gate, which had never happened before.

The news spread quickly, and countless people began to gather at the gate of the city. Everyone wanted to see what the Tartars looked like, whether they were eating people without spitting out their bones.

The news spread quickly to the Forbidden City.

The corpses of the 87 Tartars killed by the Jiangning Camp were all brought back. It is absolutely true that the Tartars were still wearing red light armor without borders.

The first person to rush to the gate of the city was Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War.

This was something that the Ministry of War had to figure out. Xu Er sent someone to report it. When the news was true, he couldn't sit still anymore and decided to come and see for himself.

Since he became Minister of the Ministry of War, he has been devastated because of the bandits' rebellion and the invasion of Houjin. The previous Minister of Military Affairs, Xiong Mingyu, was dismissed because of his ineffective suppression of bandits and the defeat of Dalinghe.

Fortunately, the Jiangning battalion became a surprise army, annihilating Zijinliang and Lao Huihui, which greatly shocked the arrogance of the rogues. He finally felt relieved. Moreover, the silver brought by Jiangning County was more or less settled. Some military pay stabilized most of the sergeants in the guards, and the mutiny of sergeants was greatly reduced.

This time, 87 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion wiped out [-] Tartars. What a victory it was. In the past, it was unimaginable. The Jiangning Battalion did it, and Su Tiancheng did it.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for him not to come and see for himself.

There are too many people at the gate of the city, and there are a sea of ​​people.

The sergeant of Wucheng Bingmasi opened a passage abruptly, and Zhang Fengyi managed to get in.

What I saw head-on was a corpse lying on the ground.

All dressed in red light armor, everyone's foreheads are smooth, with braids, no doubt they are Tartars.

Su Tiancheng and the others stood aside. They could no longer enter the city smoothly. Besides, these corpses also needed someone to take care of them. There were not enough soldiers to maintain order.

Zhang Fengyi came, of course Su Tiancheng wanted to see him.

"Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, pays his respects to your lord."

"No courtesy, no courtesy, Mr. Su, you are a hero. I must go to the emperor and reward Jiang Ningying."

Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and others were also nearby.

Seeing Sun Chengzong, Zhang Fengyi quickly saluted.

"Master Sun has also come to the stables, and I'm being rude to the officials."

"Master Zhang is polite."

Lu Shanji's official position was much lower, so Zhang Fengyi didn't need to be overly polite, just exchanged simple greetings.

A large number of soldiers from Wucheng Bingma Division drove over. They wanted to guard the corpses and wait for orders from above.

There are more and more people watching the excitement, and the sergeants of Wucheng Bingma Division have to draw out a police cordon to prevent people from getting too close. Of course, the corpses are used to show the public. This is a great victory for the Ming army. , Of course, let the people see, not only to boost morale, but also to show off the might of the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.
