This punishment seems to be similar to the punishment in the original history, and Wang Pu died, but in fact, the difference is still big.

First, it is useless to bribe with money, at least these people who send money have understood this truth;

Second, in history, Ma Ke and other general soldiers made meritorious contributions, but in fact, they were still in front of their general soldiers, and it had no impact on their actual power at all. Even Wu Sangui became a meritorious soldier in Shouningyuan, not only transferred to the Shanhaiguan General as he wished, but even added the title of Admiral.

Third, but this time, the remaining five general soldiers were all demoted three levels in a row, not to mention becoming an ordinary guerrilla, and they had to be punished with a cane in public, and the other soldiers were all in sight. It's the first time I've committed such a crime of escape, and even if I have made a lot of achievements in battle on weekdays, I'm still going to end up like this. The second time, that was Wang Pu's end.

If we are realistically speaking, the reason for the defeat of the Battle of Songjin was fundamentally caused by Chen Xinjia's urging to fight, Hong Chengchou's failure to adhere to principles, and his poor combat preparations. The flight of the six general soldiers occurred after the grain and grass were cut off and there was no hope of victory.

From this point of view, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Ruoqi, the superintendent of the army, should bear the main responsibility, followed by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, and then the general troops of each department were ineffective.

At this time, after the execution was completed and the injuries of Wang Pu's head and the other five guerrillas were examined, Zhang Mingwei took out the holy decree he had already brought and read it.

The imperial court posthumously sealed Cao Bianjiao, Yang Guozhu, Wang Tingchen and other general soldiers who died in the war as earls, and the deputy chief soldiers Jiang Zhu, Yao Xun, Zhu Wende and others also had corresponding posthumous titles; In terms of civil officials, Qiu Minyang, the former governor of Liaodong, was given the right deputy capital of the imperial history, and the official was buried in the camp and recorded one of his sons.

The civil and military generals who died in this battle all entered the Loyal Martyrs' Hall to enjoy the Daming incense;

And Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao who surrendered, Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, and Xia Chengde, the deputy general of Songshan who opened the door to dedicate the city, all entered the treacherous hall and were spurned by later generations.

In addition, in the will, Xia Chengde's head was rewarded with a heavy amount of money, and if the captive killed Xia Chengde, he would be able to avoid his guilt and be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.

The officers and men of the Guanning Army listened to this will, looked at Wang Pu's head, and the five former general soldiers lying in front of him were blurred in flesh and blood, and heard that those who died in battle were rewarded and those who surrendered were severely punished, and for a while, they were all awe-inspiring.

The attitude of the imperial court, this time is very obvious. What to do and what not to do, that's clear.

Of course, the more important thing is that the imperial court sent the Duke of Xingguo over this time, which was really sincere, and used millions of silver to settle them.

Therefore, in the soldiers of the Guanning Army at this time, it is difficult to see the low morale caused by the defeat of Songjin.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Mingwei was satisfied. So, after he finished reading the holy decree, he said loudly to the soldiers below: "In the future, I will guarantee your military salary, guarantee that those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished." You can be a soldier in peace, and I'll take care of the rest. If today's chaos is in turmoil, it is really your chance to make a contribution. Do you want to seal your wife? Do you want to glorify your ancestors? Then exchange it for military merit! ”

In ancient times, there was a certain truth to the hereditary lineage of military households. At least their grandparents were good at military affairs, so they naturally knew more about military affairs than others.

Military merit will be relatively unfamiliar to others, but to them, it is the most familiar and desirable thing.

In the past, they may have lived only to feed on. But now, the imperial court has invested so much money to settle them, so that they have no worries. Then for the battle of Songjin, there are clear rewards and punishments. Although individual people may find it dissatisfied. However, compared to the past, most people are satisfied.

At this time, when they heard the public assurance of Xingguo Gong that they would be able to fight with peace of mind and not worry about anything else, these officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army suddenly had a desire for military merit.

Zhou Yuji and other people who knew the soldiers could see it at a glance and understood that even if they dragged these soldiers to fight with Jianyu at this time, they would definitely not back down!

In fact, as far as Zhou Yuji and others are concerned, those who are soldiers understand very well why the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army is high. It is really these words of Xingguo Gong that give the greatest expectation of being a soldier.

Who doesn't want to fight with peace of mind, they have what they should have, and what they don't get, they can get what they deserve after working hard!

After the military discussion, Zuo Yingxuan, the governor of Shanyong, immediately bid farewell to Zhang Mingwei and went to busily arrange the Liaodong military households to go to various parts of the Great Wall defense line in the pre-planned land of Gyeonggi.

Before leaving, he said to Zhang Mingwei with a trace of worry, "Guogong, the lower officials will try their best to settle them, but even if they collect grain and grass from the squires of Yongping, I am afraid it will not be enough for them to survive until the grain harvest." The lower officials have checked it, and the food they brought in from outside the customs is also limited......"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei interrupted him with a smile and said, "I understand what you mean, don't worry, you are busy first, and I will make up for the lack of food later." ”

The northern part of the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years, and food has always been in short supply. The grain and grass hoarded here in Shanhaiguan should be used for the defense of Shanhaiguan; The food on the side of Jingshi is difficult even to help the refugees before. Although there will be grain delivered, it will not be too much at once.

Therefore, Zuo Yingxuan couldn't understand why Xingguo Gong was so confident, so he still reminded worriedly, "Guogong, it's not easy to buy food if you have money now." This food is a top priority, so be sure to raise it! ”

"Don't worry, there are at least eight fat sheep left, it should be enough to eat!" When Zhang Mingwei saw him like this, he revealed a little.

"......" but Zuo Yingxuan was speechless, eight fat sheep, what kind of fat sheep is this, which can make so many people eat?

Of course, he naturally understands that the eight fat sheep that Xingguo Gong said are definitely not real sheep. But he couldn't guess what kind of sheep it was. At this time, seeing that Xingguo Gong had no intention of explaining, and was so confident, he stopped asking questions and left first.

Zhang Mingwei looked at his back, and he didn't know the importance of food.

Therefore, he began to lay out long ago. Not only did the prince who went south urge the grain and grass to be transported north as soon as possible, including sweet potatoes and the like, but also the prince was asked to be busy as soon as possible.

In addition, he also instructed Zhou Wenzhen to secretly investigate the news from his people in Shanxi, especially in the Zhangjiakou area, which was much more useful than sending the captain of the Jinyi Guard to the past.

Before, news had already come from Jingshi, saying that Ma Xianglin had arrived in Beijing with the White Pole Army. This army definitely has nothing to do with the eight fat sheep, and it is a reliable knife to kill sheep.

Zhang Mingwei planned to solve the matter on the Shanhaiguan side, and then sharpen his knife and kill the sheep!

At this time, he explained to Yan Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and said, "The matter over there in Ningyuan still requires you to rush over and deploy it in person." ”

Ningyuan is a big city, and it is close to Jinzhou, where Jianyu is located, even if it takes about a month, the retreat over there is not completely completed. At least the one closest to Jianyu's side even sent additional troops to prevent Jianguo from hearing the news of the retreat.

However, fortunately, the battle on the Jinzhou side had just ended, and the main force of Jianyu had returned to Liaodong, so they did not have the intention of going south, so they did not find anything.

"Guogong rest assured, the last general will inevitably be arranged in Ningyuan, and when our army recovers, it can come in handy!" Yan Yingyuan immediately agreed, and then took his leave and set off for Ningyuan.

After arranging these things, it was already the next day.

Zhang Mingwei also passed on Wu Sangui and five other guerrillas, originally he thought that these five people would be carried in. Even if he had confessed to the execution before, the captain of the brocade guard paid attention to proportion, after all, he had been beaten to the flesh and blood, wasn't it!

But who knows, these five people turned out to be also men, and they were not carried in, but were supported by their personal guards. However, grinning teeth indicate that the taste is not pleasant.

Zhang Mingwei looked at them and said to them in a cold voice, "Look at you so uncomfortable, I won't beat you next time......"

As soon as they heard this, Ma Ke and the others were immediately overjoyed, but who knows, they heard Zhang Mingwei continue, "...... Just kill it! ”

Suddenly, the joy in their hearts disappeared without a trace, and they hurriedly gritted their teeth one by one, not daring to grin again!

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mingwei said to them again: "I will give you 2,000 men and horses each, and after ten days of rectification, you will go to Kaifeng, Henan Province to fight a decisive battle with the Chuang Wang's department." If you have any words, ask now. ”

Guogong's orders, they did not dare to disobey at this time. Besides, these guerrillas are not afraid of fighting rogue thieves. But there were only 2,000 men......

Seeing Ma Ke's face nervous, he asked, "Grandpa Guo, is this ...... Are these two thousand men soldiers soldiers? ”

Don't hear how many tens of thousands of troops were in the late Ming Dynasty, in fact, most of them were just indiscriminate. The people who really fought the war were actually the families of the general soldiers of the various ministries.

Only the Yongwei Battalion is an army under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, after all, it is the Imperial Forest Army, and those who want to face are all soldiers. The same is true, although the overall strength of the Yongwei battalion is not much, it is also famous in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said, "Of course, in the future, it is not allowed to deduct military salaries to support the family." The salaries I give you will be paid according to the actual capitation. And this military salary will be paid by the brocade guards stationed in your army. You just have to fight, you don't have to worry about the logistics, they are all in charge. ”

Soldiers are not expensive, and everyone present understands this truth. The logistical pressures, such as the supply of food and grass, will be much less burdensome. However, in this way, the power of the main general is naturally weakened a lot, and there is not much room for maneuver.

Therefore, hearing this, these people couldn't help but feel a little lost in their hearts. However, they didn't dare to show it, and Tang Tong asked, "Then the generals and others will all be under the direct jurisdiction of the Guogong or will they be led by the governor over there?" ”
