In today's Shanhaiguan, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, was defeated and captured, and the people are no longer there. The biggest remaining officials were the two governors.

Among them, the governor of Liaodong is in charge of the area from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, and the current governor of Liaodong is Fan Zhiwan, who just took office in February, and is still in Ningyuan.

Another governor was in the fourth year of Chongzhen, separated from the governor of Shuntian and Tianjin, and the full title was called the governor of Shanhai and Yongping, and the military affairs of Zanli, including Yongping Mansion and Shanyong Governor near Shanhaiguan.

Zhang Mingwei's arrival was greeted by Zhu Guodong, the governor of Shanyong, and Wu Sangui and other generals who had fled.

It stands to reason that the governor is also a chase, representing the emperor. However, Zhang Mingwei is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the Duke of Xingguo, and he still has the Shang Fang sword in his hand, the king's flag or something. Therefore, Zhu Guodong can be regarded as self-aware, and when he saw Zhang Mingwei, he consciously saw him with the etiquette of meeting Shangguan.

For him, Zhang Mingwei didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, he turned his gaze to the generals behind him.

After Zhu Guodong introduced himself, Wu Sangui immediately knelt down on one knee respectfully and said: "Wu Sangui, the general of the sin general Ning Yuan, has seen Grandpa Guo!" ”

Several other people were also very honest, and followed Wu Sangui to report their names.

After nearly a month of horseback riding practice, Zhang Mingwei has become a little accustomed to this ancient means of transportation. Sitting on the horse, it seemed very natural, and he looked down at these general soldiers, especially Wu Sangui, and stared at them a few times, and then nodded, and just said "um" with a salty attitude.

Then, he turned his head to look at Zhu Guodong and said to him: "The emperor ordered me to come to deal with the affairs here, and ask Zhu Zhongcheng to tell me in detail!" ”

When Zhu Guodong heard this, he was a little surprised in his heart, isn't it rumored that this Guogong is very arrogant? But this talk, it seems to feel okay!

Although he thought so, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly respectfully greeted Zhang Mingwei into the Shanhaiguan, and at the same time said to Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong doesn't know, in this battle, the soldiers really tried their best!" Helplessly, Chen Benbing sent a letter urging him to send troops in a hurry, so that the already small amount of grain and grass was cut off, resulting in a failure. Alas! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei, who was looking ahead, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Guodong behind him, thinking in his heart, is this starting to shirk responsibility?

In later generations, he has been writing the history of Chongzhen's early period, and it was only the eleventh year of Chongzhen at the latest. Seriously, I really don't know much about these things after Chongzhen fifteen years later, because I haven't deliberately checked them.

is also the same, when he discussed the matter with Emperor Chongzhen, he finally let him go to Shanhaiguan to watch and handle it, instead of setting a specific disposal opinion in Jingshi.

Zhu Guodong saw Zhang Mingwei's reaction, so he hurriedly explained: "Really, if Guogong doesn't believe it, you can check it casually, the soldiers really tried their best!" Although we lost this battle, Jianyu is not much better! ”

Zhang Mingwei just turned his head to look at him, then turned his head again, and did not express his opinion, and let Zhu Guodong speak over there.

Wu Sangui and the others followed behind, looking at the two in front of them, to be exact, Zhang Mingwei's back, and they were a little apprehensive in their hearts. Observe carefully, and wonder what kind of attitude this prince has.

However, until Zhang Mingwei entered the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, they didn't see anything. It was getting late, and the Guogong was tired all the way, and they didn't dare to disturb them, so they all dispersed.

The defense of Shanhaiguan was immediately taken over by Zhou Yuji with the Yongwei battalion. And in the Qincha Xingyuan, that is, the former Jiliao Governor's Mansion, although it was simply cleaned up, some things from Hong Chengchou could still be seen.

Zhang Mingwei didn't care about this, but gathered some people to talk about things.

I saw him say to a gray-haired old man: "Now that your identity has not been announced, let's take a walk first to understand the situation." ”

"Xia Guan understands!" The old man was in good spirits, and immediately received the order with full of energy.

Zhang Mingwei then looked at Yan Yingyuan, who was standing behind him, and also instructed him: "You are the same, get familiar with this place as soon as possible, and if you have any ideas, you can tell me at any time." ”

"The last general obeys!" Yan Yingyuan heard this, and immediately responded with a fist.

Zhang Mingwei nodded, then picked up a stack of materials on the desk, and said to a few people in front of him: "This is the information sent by Governor Shanyong about the Battle of Songjin, you all take a look, are there any problems?" ”

Yan Yingyuan and the others, including Princess Kunxing, who had not spoken, all agreed, and then they broke up the information at hand, and after reading it all, Zhu Yujiao explained it to Zhang Mingwei, who was leaning on the back of the chair.

"In May last year, our army killed the cavalry captain Dandai, the commander of Zhangkushan, and the third-class guard Bo Shuodai."

"In July, the Protector under the command of the Slave Killer Chieftain Dolgon led Jue Luolantai, and the Escort Commander Wencha was executed."

"From August to December, he killed the leaders of Alfoni, Huilan, Wincha and Qixinlang Maitu. Later, he killed Zhenghuang Qi and led Zhangguli. ”

"In February this year, in the Battle of Tashan, Wu Sangui's general army shelled the slave chieftain Zierharang, beheaded his subordinate Cui Yingtai, and participated in the battle of Maiseri, etc., and suffered heavy losses in the red flag. In addition, the Mongol soldier Nemuqi broke out of the battle formation, rode into Dolgon's camp on horseback, and almost killed Dolgon, and finally died with his escort Temudg. ”

"In the first battle of Jinzhou, our army was on the offensive fiercely, and the Jianyu could not stop it, so we killed six of the eight banners in front of us and killed Meler Ezhen Weng Adai. In addition, Niu Lu Zhang Jing Dai Gon, the most famous brave general under the command of the slave chief Dolgon, Rausa was also killed. ”

“……”

After reading for a long time, Zhu Yujiao finished reading, and then put the sorted out information back on the desk in front of Zhang Mingwei, and said to him: "Meritorious generals are all written in the back." ”

Zhang Mingwei didn't look at it immediately, but frowned and said, "How can I hear it, it's like Jianyu has been defeated." You see, how many of the high-ranking generals of Jianyu died? Just the commanders of the capital, the commanders of the protectors, and so on, have four or five died, right? ”

Hearing his words, Yan Yingyuan did not echo, but said to Zhang Mingwei: "My lord, the general thinks that these are all names and surnames, and it should be impossible to be fake. Otherwise, if these people come out again, wouldn't they be lying about their military exploits? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei nodded, and it made sense. But why, in the impression of later generations, it seems that Jianyu is very capable of fighting, and against the Ming army, it is not too easy to win, just like the kind of cutting melons and vegetables.

For example, this battle of Songjin was a great victory for Jianyu, and the main force of the Ming army was annihilated. Anyone who sees it thinks that the Ming army is really a bunch of pigs, how powerful Jianyu is!

Confused, Zhang Mingwei thought about it and made another discovery.

In this battle of Songjin, not to mention that the Eight Banners of Jianyu and their affiliated armies were all dispatched, even the fat man Huang Taiji also went into battle in person. If it was really easy for Jianyu, it was necessary for so many people to come?

In this way, there is only one conclusion: history is written by the victors!

He was thinking about it, when he heard Yan Yingyuan say to him again: "My lord, the last general feels that these results should be true, but whose battle exploits belong may not be true. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, he heard Yan Yingyuan say again: "Also, in these materials, there is no news about the responsibility for this defeat, they are all results!" ”

I brought a professional with me, and it was really good! Zhang Mingwei nodded to Yan Yingyuan with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I've counted." ”

As he was saying this, he saw a Jinyi guard captain coming to the door, and said to him: "My lord, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, is asking to see him outside!" ”

How long has it been dark, and you're still running to find yourself? Zhang Mingwei was a little puzzled when he heard this, so he asked, "Is he alone?" ”

"He's alone!"

Zhang Mingwei listened and was a little curious, did he want to tell the truth or what did he want to do?

Thinking so, he waved his hand and said, "Then let him in and see what he has to say, right?" ”

………………

At the head of Shanhaiguan City, Zhou Yuji, a loyal uncle, after inspecting the sentry, looked up at a cold moon in the sky, and when he didn't know what he was thinking, he heard a movement, but at a glance he found that it was Ning Yuan's general army.

"Uncle Zhongzhen is really diligent, he doesn't go to sleep so late!" Wu Sangui greeted with a smile first.

Zhou Yuji listened, just nodded, but did not speak.

Wu Sangui felt a little bored, and if he could, he would pull it down if he didn't care. But at this time, he still continued to smile and said: "Uncle Zhongzhen is a Jinzhou Weiren, speaking of which, we are also fellow villagers, and we are all our own people!" We Liaodong finally have another earl, and all of us in Liaodong have a light on their faces, congratulations! ”

This time, Zhou Yuji didn't even nod his head, just looked at him, and said nonchalantly: "Did you come to me on purpose, what's the matter?" ”

This time, Wu Sangui was a little embarrassed. But now that he has a request, he continued to smile and said: "Of course, I came to congratulate my fellow countryman on his knighthood and glory to his ancestors!" ”

Speaking of this, he felt something out of his sleeve, handed it over and said, "Little congratulatory gift, a little meaning!" ”

When Zhou Yuji saw it, he stretched out his hand to take it, and with the help of the torches of the guards beside him, he saw clearly that it was a silver ticket of 1,000 taels.

One thousand taels of silver tickets, how much you say, certainly not very much. However, if you want to say less, it is definitely not less.

After Zhou Yuji saw it clearly, he put it in his arms, and then asked nonchalantly, "Is there anything else?" ”

"......" When Wu Sangui heard this, he really wanted to snatch the silver ticket back, and then turn around and leave.

Trying to calm down, Wu Sangui continued to maintain an embarrassed smile and asked: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I admire Xingguo Gong a little bit and want to learn more things from Xingguo Gong!" If you go directly to Guogong, I'm afraid that it will be a little abrupt, so I want to come and chat with my loyal uncle first. ”
