Borrow the day to change the day

Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to rein in the horse and stop the horse. He didn't know what stupidity this commoner was doing, so he dared to block the way of the army.

The rioting people on both sides of the official road also fell silent, and all looked at the short man in the middle of the road.

"Wu Na man, blocking the army is a serious crime!" one of Cao Wenzhao's personal guards warned.

The short man suddenly "plopped" and knelt down on the ground, straightened up and begged Cao Wenzhao: "This general, my father-in-law's family, who has been so kind to me, was brutally wiped out by the Tartars. The grass people implore the general to kill more Tartar, the grassroots kowtow to you!"

Cao Wenzhao was startled when he heard this, but before he could speak, he saw another commoner walking up the official path and knelt down to him.

Then, more and more people knelt down and asked him to kill a few more Tartars to avenge their brutally murdered relatives.

About less than half of the common people were still standing there. These people, like the strong men, came to watch the excitement and get a glimpse of this revenge army by the way.Therefore, they did not kneel down, but still stood by the official road.

Cao Wenzhao looked at the people kneeling all over the ground, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.It was the army's ability that allowed so many relatives of the common people to be murdered by the Tartars.

He clasped his fists on his horseback and said loudly to the people kneeling on the ground sincerely: "Don't worry, folks. Cao swears here that he will make the Tartars pay what they deserve. Now, folks, please make way, Cao." A certain person can lead the army to avenge everyone." [

The people kneeling on the ground saw that the leading general expressed his opinion, and it was true that kneeling in the middle of the road was not an option, so they began to get up one after another to make way.But after they avoided the side of the road, they knelt down again.

The strong man was a little puzzled, and asked one of the short ones kneeling on the ground in a low voice, "Second brother, why are you still kneeling?"

The short man didn't look back at him, but replied in a low voice: "They are trying their best, second brother, I kneel down, and I should kneel."

When Cao Wenzhao saw that the road was out of the way, he urged his horse to go forward, but he still clasped his fists and saluted both sides all the way.

The soldiers of the death camp who followed up looked at the kneeling people on both sides, and when they heard them shouting "revenge", their sense of pride weakened a bit, but their hatred for the Tartars increased.

The vengeful army was slowly going away, and the strong man said to the short man, "Second brother, they have already gone far. Look at the weather, it might rain soon, go back quickly."

The short man nodded, and then tried to stand up, but staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, the strong man helped him.

Other kneeling people also began to stand up one after another, and then turned back to the capital.Along the way, the people in the capital commented on this vengeful army as they walked, and wished them an early return in victory.

The spring rain finally began to fall on the ground in the afternoon. Although it was not very heavy, it continued continuously until the next day at noon before it barely stopped the rain.

It was only at this time that the imperial court began to award high-ranking generals from all walks of life.However, those generals who came to play soy sauce basically gave them a loose title, more salary, and more real power.

Of course there are those with big rewards. Zuo Yingxuan, the former magistrate of Changli County, was promoted to be the acting governor of Yongping after he was promoted to Jizhou military preparation road Shandong press inspector Qianshi, and was in charge of rebuilding the county where Yongping Prefecture was located and defending against the enemy.

Lu Xiangsheng, the former deputy envoy of the Shandong Judiciary and the prefect of Daming Prefecture, had only made a small contribution in history, and was promoted to the right to participate in politics and the deputy envoy of the Judiciary.But now under the influence of Zhong Jinwei, history has changed.Lu Xiangsheng had the merits of capturing Aixinjueluo-Amin, the slave chieftain alive, and blocking Jianlu. Under Zhong Jinwei's supervision, he served as inspector and governor of Denglai, and also took charge of Dongjiang Town.

The Minzhuang Army of Daming Mansion made great contributions in blocking Jianlu. All participating Minzhuang families were exempted from corvee service, the pension for the deceased was doubled, and the elderly and children in the family were brought up by the imperial court until their death.The living formed Lu Xiangsheng's standard battalion.

Yan Yingyuan, who was still unknown in history at this time, was also promoted to a general because of his capture of Aixinjueluo-Amin, the slave chieftain, and his contribution to blocking Jianlu. In charge of the navy.

Sun Chengzong made meritorious service in recovering the four cities of Yongping and Pingping. [

Qin Liangyu's white pole army made great efforts in the recovery of the four cities of Yongping, beheading Jianlu and other meritorious deeds, adding the crown prince Shaobao, and bearing the seal of General Zhendong.

Zu Dashou made meritorious service in eliminating troops, and his subordinate cavalry army had military exploits in recovering the four cities.

Zu Dale was promoted to lieutenant general after his meritorious service in recovering the four cities of Yongping. He dispatched [-] cavalry troops under his command to Dengzhou Wei to wait for the governor of Denglai to dispatch.

Zhong Jinwei supervised the army to get Fang, and Qingshui Mingyue Pass blocked the first contribution of Jianlu, and the title of Marquis of Zhongxing was changed to hereditary.

After the rewards were completed, the soldiers from all walks of life returned to their original places.But Qin Liangyu still stayed in the capital to train the Fifth Army Battalion in the capital camp.

Qin Yiming, on the other hand, led [-] white-rod infantry and [-] white-rod cavalry to Zhangjiakou, preparing to station at the Han-Mongolian trade point that was about to be greatly expanded.

This point was actually requested by Zhong Jinwei in his memorial to Emperor Chongzhen, because Zhong Jinwei saw the combat power of the Xuanfu army and felt that he couldn't stand it.And Xuanfu is an important town among the nine borders, whether it is to defend against the Mongols or others, there must be an elite team in order to be at ease.

In the rainy weather, it got dark very early, and the people in the capital returned to their homes early to eat, sleep and snore.

As the night deepened, there were not many places in Beijing that were still lit. Among them, the Imperial Study Room in the Forbidden City was a place that was still lit.

Emperor Chongzhen finished approving most of the memorials in the Imperial Study Room, stretched himself and stood up, moving his slightly numb legs.

Things were arranged one by one, and the army gathered in the capital because of the invasion of Jianlu finally returned to their respective stations. The logistical pressure was obviously relieved, and Emperor Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Jianlu invasion last October, Emperor Chongzhen was finally able to let go of his strained heart.If the loss of officials and common people in Gyeonggi is not counted, the central government's finances have actually increased due to this war.The money I can mobilize in my hands is getting more and more abundant. Compared with before last year, to be precise, compared with before the beginning of this year, it is really a world of difference.

Emperor Chongzhen was pacing casually while thinking, recalling the things he had just experienced, he couldn't help but secretly thank his ancestors.If it weren't for the blessing of the ancestors, Master Zhong would magically travel from the later generations to his own face, and the current situation would not be known how bad it is.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that after Master Zhong woke up from a coma after rescuing him, the messy court situation began to get better slowly, and only then did he start to do one thing after another in an orderly manner.In all these good things, Master Zhong is in it.Master Zhong's unimaginable experience is really a gift from heaven to himself and to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's confidence, not to mention fighting for world hegemony, is still too early. It is just disaster relief, eliminating a few rebels, and restoring peace to the people. He now has strong confidence in these.

But for Liaodong Jianlu, he is not very sure yet.That's right, now it's a big victory against the captives.But Emperor Chongzhen was also a thoughtful person. After carefully listening to the entire battle process, he understood that this victory was really a fluke.

If you want to completely wipe out the Liaodong Jianlu, relying on the current army alone, obviously the chances of winning are not great.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that the reform of the military system proposed by Master Zhong would have to be implemented early, but right now many things cannot be separated from Master Zhong. For a while, and because of this, the marriage event that he had made last year was delayed.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and suddenly felt a little regretful, there were too few courtiers like Master Zhong.But he also quickly laughed at himself, Master Zhong is the only one in this world, and no one else has such an unimaginable experience as Master Zhong.He is really too precious, and he must cherish it and use it well.

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking of this, Wang Chengen, the eunuch on duty who had been serving him, couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, there is no charcoal fire over there, it's a bit cold, be careful of the dragon's body."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at where he was, smiled, then turned around and walked back to the throne.

Wang Chengen followed behind him, carefully persuading him: "Your Majesty, you have a lot of money now, see if someone can set the earth dragon on fire, so as not to"

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen walked to the throne, when he heard Wang Chengen's words, he turned his head and said, "Don't talk about it, big companion. I told you before that I need to save money now. I don't want to go back to the time when I had no money." Hard days."

"Your Majesty, if you don't spend any money now, isn't it a hard life!" Wang Chengen couldn't help but retorted slightly.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen already had a large sum of money in his hands, he was still so frugal, and he was a little bit aggrieved by the ninety-five-year-old emperor.

"Big companion, don't you understand? Life is the same, but having money or not is completely different in my heart." Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Wang Chengen, without further explanation, sat back on the throne and continued to review the rest of the paper. The next memorial.

Wang Chengen is a smart man. When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he immediately understood. The emperor pointed out that his mentality was completely different when he had money but had no money.

If Zhong Jinwei were here, he could immediately say a common saying of later generations to describe the state of mind of Emperor Chongzhen at this time.That is, the landlord's family has surplus food and does not panic.

After approving the memorials that Wang Chengen had sorted out in advance, Emperor Chongzhen picked up a box next to the throne.

When Wang Chengen saw it, he took a few steps back and moved away from the throne in order to avoid suspicion.Because Emperor Chongzhen had explained that no one should see the secret music in the box.

He was very curious about what was inside, so that even he, the emperor's confidant, and the admiral of Dongchang couldn't look at it.

All he knew was that the item was handed in from the Daming Royal Bank outside the Forbidden City, where there were no Dongchang agents, so the mysterious ICAC did not exist.In other words, the contents of this box should only be related to Daming Royal Bank, but it is impossible to guess the specific content.

Because the box was the last memorial that Emperor Chongzhen handled, he seemed a little relaxed, and took out the memorial inside to read it.

However, after reading the memorial, Emperor Chongzhen's face immediately changed from sunny to cloudy, just like the weather outside, although not angry, it was already cloudy.

When Wang Chengen saw it, he was surprised but also cautious.

After a while, I only listened to Emperor Chongzhen's order: "Show Yongning Palace."
