Chapter 111: Dismounting
On the second day, the Yongwei Battalion and other three battalions had all arrived in Tongzhou, and set up camp in the original teaching ground in the city.
When Zhu Cihong arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals of various towns who had been covered with helmets and armor were all talking and greeting each other. There are Li Chongzhen, the general soldier of Miyun, Dong Yongwen, the general soldier of Baoding, the general soldier of Shanxi, and the general soldiers of various departments in eastern Liaoning, such as Zu Dale.
Seeing the arrival of the crown prince, the generals of each town hurriedly stood on the left and right, and the general soldiers of all walks of life stood at the front, followed by the deputy generals, staff generals, guerrilla generals, etc.
Zhu Cihong went straight to the main position of the Chinese army's big tent, Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan were separated, and Cao Huachun and Xu Sheng stood on both sides.
"The last general, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan Zu Dale."
"The last general, Baoding General Dong Yongwen."
"The last general, the general army of Shanxi is as fierce as a tiger."
"The last general, Li Chongzhen, the general soldier of Miyun."
“.......”
The crowd will bow and pay homage, and the mountain will call for a thousand years.
After the ceremony, the generals looked at the young man in the main seat, many people did not understand why the emperor would send a few years old prince to be the commander, although they all learned that this crown prince killed more than 10,000 Jiannu some time ago, but almost no one believed it.
The generals present felt that this was just propaganda by the imperial court as soon as they got the news, they fought with Jiannu all the year round, and they were clear about Jiannu's combat effectiveness, how could they be abused so badly!
When Zhou Yuji, who was standing behind the general, saw Zhu Cihong's face, he was slightly surprised and a little incredulous.
Then when he saw a few people standing beside Zhu Cihong, he was sure that the few people he met in the tavern that day were actually the crown prince! Rao is Zhou Yuji is usually known for his calmness, and he is also quite nervous at this time.
For a while, the atmosphere in the big tent was not very good, and as a feudal official guarding one side, many people despised Zhu Cihong in their hearts.
Zhu Cihong naturally saw all this, he stood up and said, "I remember that there was Zu Dashou in the military department's message, why didn't he come?" ”
Shanhaiguan Chief Soldier Zu Dale said: "If you go back to Your Highness, the military gate will guard Jinzhou, and beware of Jiannu taking the opportunity to enter, so I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins." ”
Zhu Cihong knew that this ancestor Dashou did not dare to come to the capital, he surrendered to Huang Taiji in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and returned, because as soon as he returned to Jinzhou, Zu Dashou actively defended, so Emperor Chongzhen not only did not surrender, but promoted Zu Dashou's official, and issued an edict three times, ordering Zu Dashou to enter Beijing to meet him.
Because of the matter of his old boss Yuan Chonghuan and this surrender, where did he dare to go to the capital, for fear of the same fate as Yuan Dudu, so he excused himself every time and always stayed in Jinzhou City.
Since the emperor's father didn't blame Zu Dashou, Zhu Cihong naturally wouldn't force him to do it, so he said lightly: "I know, have the others arrived?" ”
The general replied: "Back to Your Highness, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, and Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, have not arrived, and they say that they are on sick leave." ”
Many of the generals raised their eyebrows, and everyone knew that these two general soldiers did not obey the little prince and deliberately embarrassed him.
The generals in the tent looked at Zhu Cihong meaningfully, wanting to see the panic and anger in the eyes of the young crown prince.
However, to their disappointment, Zhu Cihong did not show anger, but smiled and said: "Send someone to invite the two general soldiers again, let them go to the big tent of the Chinese army in the three drums, if someone is really sick and can't get on the horse, the palace will send him to the capital to retire, and play Your Majesty, add the third division, and don't have to lead the troops to work hard!" ”
The generals were slightly shocked in their hearts, this crown prince is really ruthless, he will use military power as a threat when he comes up, and these general soldiers will rely on the military power in their hands to eat, if they are masturbated, what will they rely on to survive? Although the honor of the third division is high, it is useless!
Zhu Cihong also ignored everyone's wonderful expressions, and ordered: "Command the drum!" ”
After the order was issued, the three-way drum beat outside the big tent sounded, and Zhu Cihong sneered in his heart, can't he come when he is sick? Tongzhou is only a few dozen miles away from the capital, so let's heal nearby!
The three-way drum lasted for fifteen minutes, and the time was a little tight, but the two still came, and when the third drum beat sounded, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, arrived one after another, and the two of them were wearing iron armor and bright red cloaks, and they were a little disgraced.
Zhu Cihong secretly scolded in his heart, he was really embarrassed, he didn't have the ability to do a big fart, and he did a set of things in a way.
The two took a step forward and saluted Zhu Cihong: "The last general Datong general Wang Pu, and the last general Shandong general Liu Zeqing have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose. ”
Although the two were courteous and thoughtful, from their words, they could not hide their dissatisfaction with Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong did not embarrass the two and let them be listed.
When Liu Zeqing passed by Zhou Yuji's side, he glanced at him coldly, and some generals saw it, and they all secretly said that it was a pity for Zhou Yuji, Liu Zeqing would be avenged, and few people who offended him would end well.
After everyone sat down, they all looked at the crown prince above the head, wanting to see how this kid wanted to toss, they had already made up their minds in their hearts, anyway, no matter how it was organized, it was still according to the same way to deal with Zhang Fengyi, just listen to good things, and don't talk about war!
Zhu Cihong said lightly: "The commanders of each town, let's first report on the gains made by the headquarters after entering the guard." ”
Everyone was stunned, obviously they didn't expect this little prince to come to such a hand, although they were ordered to be the king of Qin, but how dare they fight with the Qing soldiers, just to avoid being labeled as cowardly, they occasionally sent hundreds of cavalry to harass the Qing army on weekdays.
At this time, let them report the victory, isn't this pumping the ladder in public without giving face? Everyone's face is not very good-looking.
Since the beginning of the war in early July, the imperial court issued a message to the general army of all roads, and from August 26 to today, how much grain and grass have the reinforcements of the Ninth Route eaten and how many battles have they fought? How many Tartars have you killed?
Zhu Cihong wanted to hear what they had to say and see who gave whom.
Seeing the ugly faces of several general soldiers, Zhu Cihong's heart was a lot more relaxed, and at this time, Wang Pu, the general of Datong, stood up and said: "The last general fought fiercely in Zhuozhou on the 20th, beheaded 1,104 people, and captured 143 people. ”
Wang Pu was a little complacent in his words, and he was the only one who had the most victories.
Zhu Cihong glanced at this budding bird, nodded slightly, and then said lightly: "Where is the head?" ”
"It's in my camp."
"Has the military department ever checked it?"
"Not checked yet." Wang Pu blurted out, and then felt bad, I don't know why the crown prince asked so carefully.
Zhu Cihong said: "Datong General Soldier Wang Pu has won a lot, let's go and take a look, by the way, let the Cao Inspector of Dongchang and the officials of the military department inspect on the spot and report the military merits." ”
Several general soldiers secretly wondered in their hearts, what does this little prince want to do? So kind to repay Wang Pu's military exploits? Do you want to sell it to win us over?
Only Wang Pu himself secretly complained, feeling that something bad was going to happen.
