PS: Then ask for a monthly pass!

After the atmosphere in the capital was ignited, a heat wave was formed, and under the impetus of the imperial court, there was a wave of higher than a wave.

On the sixth day of the second lunar month, the day after Wang Chengen entered Beijing to report the victory, thousands of people gathered on the upper floor of Chaoyang Gate and in the cave of the city gate.

As the representative of the soldiers who entered Beijing to report victory, Wu Guerrilla led some colleagues in the Beijing battalion to triumphantly lead thousands of soldiers of the Beijing battalion to maintain order near the city gate.

Yesterday, when people were still immersed in the excitement of the news of the great victory, another news that made everyone even more excited came, the South Chinese Army was about to escort the captured Jiannu generals and officers at all levels, flags and other things, and hundreds of Jiannu prisoners into Beijing to dedicate to His Majesty!

The news soon spread inside and outside the capital, and when they learned that the victorious officers and troops were about to enter the city to offer prisoners, the people did not care about the severe cold, and some people ran away to occupy positions before the sun came out, and even came out to occupy positions in the middle of the night. There are smarter Chaoyangmen guards and soldiers, who simply use ropes to block out one area after another, and then sell them at a high price to the wealthy families in the capital who come to see the excitement.

Along the official road, on the streets on both sides, on the eaves, on the treetops, and even on the masts of the boats in the river, there are people waiting there.

"Old Wu, thank you! I've seen that emerald you gave me to someone at a jewelry store, and at least I'll be able to earn half of the silver!" With those few beads, I'll send the women of the house!" ”

The deputy general guarding Chaoyang Gate whispered and smiled with Wu Guerrilla, although the two of them were several levels apart in rank, they were children of Jingying. Isn't that a deep background? In particular, Wu Guerrilla's envoy ran down, not only made military merits, but also got in touch with the two fathers-in-law, "I fought with Jiannu together!" At the same time, he registered in front of the emperor, as the so-called Jane is in the emperor's heart, and he will soon rise to the top. If you don't stammer at this time, when will you stutter?

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, which began to swell towards the center of the street.

In the distance, dozens of carts were proudly planted with the Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag and the iron-blooded military flag of the Southern Central Army, and they came in a majestic manner.

"Look! Then the slave chief's pseudo-dragon! ”

The sharp-eyed people saw at a glance that he was in the car at the head. Hanging on the wooden frame is the weaving gold dragon of Yue Tuo, the lord of the Manchurian flag. On the cross-shaped wooden frame under the dragon, Yue Tuo's armor, flags, and weapons are all listed there.

Cheers immediately rang out like a tide along the avenue.

On the vehicle that followed, there was a dragon silk inlaid with a white flag on the solid mountain of Manchuria, under the careful handwriting of the officials of the Ministry of Rites. This cup is marked as a pseudo-slave chieftain inlaid with a white flag, and the Manchurian flag lord Duoduo. Follow-up on the vehicle. It is also full of all kinds of Jiannu military flags. The Red Flag Manchuria, the Red Flag Manchuria, the White Flag Manchuria, the White Flag Manchuria, as for the Mongolian Eight Banners, the banner Longxu, is very casually piled up in one place. Shows disdain for the killing of the Mongol Eight Banners.

"Look! On the armor of the pseudo-slave chieftain! ”

A Jingying Qianzong pointed to the holes in Yue Tuo's armor with some surprise, the armor leaves were full of holes and bloodstains, and the gilded armor with red edges that was identified as Duoduo armor was full of swords and marks.

"Brother, now I know what it means to be a cowhide, isn't it blown?"

Wu Guerrilla pointed to the dozens of vehicles that came in a stream, and the countless Jiannu military flags, from the growth and distribution of Pashiku, Pashiku, Niulu Zhangjing, Jialazhangjing, Mele Zhangjing, and Baya Laxu Zhangjing, covering the leaders of officers at all levels of Jiannu. On these thousands of military flags, without exception, there are bullet marks, and some of them have traces of fire.

Behind these armors and flags with obvious official status, seven or eight carts were stacked with all kinds of weapons with strong characteristics of building slaves: tiger teeth and knives that were broken, fine iron sickles with birch handles, heavy iron bones, and tiger guns with only half a barrel.

After a brief silence, a deafening cheer rang out. Rao is the people of Beijing have a broad vision, but they have never seen a figure of this level being captured by his own army and captured so richly.

"So that all the folks and elders may rejoice! The general next to this general is the hero of my Beijing battalion soldiers who participated in this battle and killed the slave chieftain Yuetuo! ”

Vice General Liu took the opportunity to slap a sycophant on his fellow brother.

Suddenly, the people who came to watch this event became more and more excited! It turned out that the hero who killed the slave chief Yuetuo actually came from the Beijing camp? Is it a person from Beijing? I immediately felt honored!

The crowd poured into Wu Guerrilla and the dozen or so soldiers beside him, full of earth-shattering cheers, "Good man! Hero! ”

Wu Guerrilla and more than a dozen of his soldiers who participated in the battle were already red with excitement as if they were drunk, and they couldn't stop bowing their hands to the four sides.

"Look! The one who wears the waist of the adult is the waist knife of the Tartar! Sure enough, he is a good man who decapitated the head of the Tartar! ”

Someone in the crowd shouted for joy.

The excited crowd broke through the barriers of the soldiers of the Beijing camp, lifted up the dozen or so people of Wu Guerrilla, and marched on the streets! In the reverent eyes of the people along the way, cheering and jumping, these soldiers of the Beijing camp who fought hard with Jiannu that day suddenly felt that it was worth dying on this day! They all held their heads high and were proud.

There are even more girls who are thinking of spring, seeing such heroic heroes, they can't help but throw handkerchiefs, sachets and other things to this group of soldiers like raindrops.

Chongzhen issued an order to place the captured armor, swords, guns and flags on the heavenly street, and ordered Yousi to set up a tent for the people to see, and after the army entered Beijing, he would fold the head of the cap into a Beijing view for the people to scold.

Suddenly, the people of Beijing fell into jubilation. The road to see the armor, flags, and weapons is even more shoulder to shoulder, and the weather in early spring is crowded with people sweating like rain. If you want to find a more ideal viewing position, you have to stuff a few Nanzhong Tongbao to the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

At this time, the streets and alleys of the capital were full of excited Beijing people, and they met familiar soldiers from Beijing every time. I had to come forward and talk a few words, and inquire about the heroes who had slain the leaders of the Tartars. In the teahouses, wine shops, prostitutes, and brothels, there is talk of this victory everywhere.

And several Nanzhong businesses near Chaoyang Gate are even more crowded, and countless wealthy families and officials in the capital come to visit and make purchases. Piggyback with a friendship with Nanzhong Master Li.

These officials are very clear that at the moment, the Ming court needs this victory too much, and it needs to improve the morale of the army and the people, so when the Qing soldiers have not yet left the customs. I can't wait to celebrate the victory. Release the emotions that have been suppressed for a long time. It also declares to all the people of the world that the court is capable of protecting the people. Although it is said that the relevant meritorious personnel, the ceremonial officials, officials, and soldiers are still nervously deliberating, how to reward them. But. With such a huge military feat. If Lord Li can't be knighted. I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to deal with the mouths of all the people in the world.

At this time, if you don't make friends, it's close, do you wait for someone to seal Uncle Hou and then post to ask for a meeting?

But. At this time, the cabinet and the celebrant were having a headache and arguing.

The first thing to discuss was how to resettle the rescued people in Jinan and how to comfort Shandong. After the recovery of Jinan, the Nanzhong Army and the two great eunuchs of the Si Li Jian jointly reported the rescue of more than 100,000 captives, plus dozens of nearby prefectures and counties, nearly a million people who were harassed and ravaged by Jiannu had no food and clothing, hoping that the imperial court could allocate food, rice, clothing, and medicine, or at least instruct these people on what to do.

Tobe spread out his hands and looked innocent, "I have neither money nor food on hand!" Or please send internal relief to the victims! ”

As Chongzhen's house slave, the celebrant will naturally not agree to hand over the little family wealth that he has accumulated with great difficulty to this group of people to make a fortune, if he wants to get rich, our family will not make it himself? !

What's even more head-scratching is, how to reward meritorious soldiers?

You must know that the adults of the cabinet and the military department have almost no say in this military exploit. The two times he went to Guangzhou to invite troops to go north, both of which were the credit of the celebrant supervisor. And the father-in-law Wang Chengen, who returned to the celebrant to preside over the overall situation, was a ruthless man who personally bombarded Jiannu.

In this way, the first credit is naturally the master of ceremonies and Li Shouhan. As for the merits of the soldiers below, if you dare to deduct a little bit of greed, I am afraid that those masters in Beijing will take the lead in making noise. The emperor himself also intends to put the good life of Jingying to come in handy after tempering it.

The resettlement of refugees and the awarding of rewards for meritorious soldiers put a bunch of problems on the head of the cabinet, but the eunuchs and eunuchs were triumphant, as if they also had military merits in the Battle of Jinan.

However, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is quite able to make peace with the mud, and knows how to figure out the minds of Chongzhen and the celebrant supervisor, Li Shouhan and others, and find a solution from it.

When he played the right game to Emperor Chongzhen, he suggested that the hundreds of thousands of rescued people in Jinan, as well as the refugees in dozens of surrounding prefectures and counties, ask General Li to come up with a piece of Chen for proper resettlement, after all, there are still Dong slaves raging in all parts of southern Jinan, in order to prevent the people from being taken captive again, it is better to let General Li be responsible for managing them first, as for what to do with these refugees in the future, the imperial court will listen to General Li's opinion, not remote control.

Although this plan was strongly opposed by the household department and the celebrant supervisor, it undoubtedly ignored the more than 100,000 people and the people of dozens of prefectures and counties, and even gave it to Li Shouhan. But their dissenting voice, Emperor Chongzhen, of course, ignored the interest. On the contrary, he thinks that Yang Sichang's words are old and seeks the country.

Not to mention anything else, just for the resettlement and relief of these hundreds of thousands of people, where can Emperor Chongzhen get the large amount of grain, rice, and money needed by dozens of prefectures and counties? At the moment, I agreed with Yang Sichang's suggestion, those rescued Ming people, and the states and counties that were harassed and ravaged by Jiannu, were all proposed by Li to propose relief and resettlement plans, and the imperial court did not allow it.

The second matter is how to mediate the relationship between Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who came all the way from Shaanxi, and Li Shouhan, who is in Jinan at the moment.

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, the governor Hong Chengchou and the governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, were ordered to lead the army north to enter the Weijing Division. Chongzhen listened to the advice of Yang Sichang, the assistant of the cardinal, and entered Hong Chengchou as the secretary of the military department and the right deputy governor of the imperial history of Ji and Liao, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Baoding, Shandong, and Hebei military affairs.

However, at that time, I didn't know where Li Shouhan was, so he took the strong man of the Qin army as the top. The edict of the Holy Decree was issued to the world. Now more than 10,000 southern Chinese troops have gathered in Shandong, and they have made great contributions to the first generation. How can Li be subordinated to Sun Chuanting?

It doesn't matter if Li Shouhan himself is, can the group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under him bow down to Sun Chuanting? I'm afraid that when the two armies arrive in one place, the conflict will immediately arise!

The combat power of the Chinese army in the south is strong. With excellent equipment, abundant food and salary, and the credit of recovering Jinan, killing the slave chieftains, and beheading 20,000 people, how can you afford to look down on the Qin army who is just dealing with the rogues and paying at most seven months of military pay a year? I'm afraid that if I don't fight, it's good!

Under some controversy, the princes of the imperial court played a miraculous skill of harmony, so that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who had just come out of Taihang Mountain, together with Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, were responsible for recovering Baoding, Yizhou and other cities.

Li Shouhan was ordered to lead the army slowly north along the canal. Along the way, Cangzhou, Linqing and other places were recovered. The governor led the reinforcement of the general soldier Zu Kuan, the general soldier Zuo Liangyu and other departments.

"The soldiers who built slaves and entered the Kou were divided into left and right wings, and my Ming military horses also had the east and west roads to deal with. Li Shouhan, commander of the East Route Army, Sun Chuanting, commander of the West Route Army, and King Qin, the commander of Hongdu. ”

Such a plan would naturally be acceptable to the Cabinet and the Celebrant of Ceremonies. Both sides rejoiced.

Thereupon. After a lot of open and dark fighting. Wu Liangfu, a newly popular eunuch, grabbed the messenger who went to the Nanzhong Army to read the holy decree, and led hundreds of Jinyi guards and Beijing camp soldiers who had spent money with him to go south from Beijing. All the way to Tianjin, ready to take a boat to Shandong to read the will.

On the day he left Beijing, Li Shouhan, who was in Jinan City, was angry with Wang Dehua.

The reason was that Zu Kuan, the commander of the reinforcement and suppression army who was originally stationed in Dezhou, led thousands of soldiers and horses to the left of Jinan, and sent people into the city to deliver official documents.

"Father-in-law, this guy is just a slave-born figure under Zu Dashou's family, relying on Zu to boast in front of the emperor, the emperor is not despicable and vigorously promoted, so he has today. He didn't want to repay the king's kindness in case of emergency, and every time he encountered a slave, he avoided it, and even killed good people to pretend to be military merits. Now he said that he ordered me to give up the city defense of Jinan to him, and to provide him with several months' food and salary for the army? He also brazenly ordered me to hand over the captured former officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army to bring them back so that they could be returned to the system? Joke! What virtue does he have, how can he dare to be so presumptuous in front of me? Could it be that there is a big man in the court who instructed Zu Kuan to do this? ”

On the Arctic Pavilion on the north shore of Daming Lake, Li Shouhan and Wang Dehua originally took a group of civil and military officials to Daming Lake to enjoy it in their spare time, planning to enjoy the "one pavilion, three gardens, three floors, four shrines, six islands, seven bridges, and ten pavilions" here, but they didn't want to have a rare leisure and leisure, and they were destroyed by Zu Kuan.

Li Shouhan, who originally wanted to enjoy the lotus flowers on all sides, willows on three sides, spring in half a city, and a beautiful scenery in a city and lake, was so angry by Zu Kuan's rudeness, arrogance and ignorance that his face turned pale. The three brigade commanders standing beside him, and more than a dozen regiment commanders drew their swords one by one, shouting and scolding in their mouths, just waiting for Shouhan to give an order, they would go out of the city to capture Zu Kuan and whip him.

"General, this guy is so rude! Our family is also angry and tight! However, this guy is a figure from the ancestral family of Liaoxi, and he is also a powerful person when Lord Lu suppressed the thief that day, if he is reprimanded, I am afraid that he will ......"

Although he is now sharing weal and woe with the Nanzhong Army, Wang Dehua has a headache when he thinks of the Guan Ning Army. Among them, the power of the ancestral family is the most powerful and huge among the generals in Liaoxi, and the relationship is intertwined through marriage and worship. killed the rebellious Guan Ning Army the previous time, which was to invisibly form a feud with the Guan Ning Army. Now, if they clash with Zu Kuan again, I am afraid that from now on, the leaders of the South China Army Group and the Guanning Army will never have peace.

After a few wipes, Shouhan tore up the official document covered with the reinforcement of the general army, and hit the messenger in the face with his hand.

"Go back and tell your ancestral slave. This is the reply of General Ben! ”

"You! How daring! "The envoy also refused to show weakness at all, since he followed General Zu to fight in various places in the Central Plains, he was such a high-ranking official as the governor and governor, and when he saw General Zu, he also wanted to be appeased, but a toast official, how dare he be so bold and reckless?

"Tell you, Jinan, it was General Ben who led the whole army to fight hard, it was this prince, as an angel, how respectful his identity was, and he was still beating drums and cheering that day. What kind of virtue do you have, open your mouth and ask half of Jinan City to be stationed for you? ”

"You dare to ask for the same food and salary supply as our soldiers and soldiers? Or a few months? Good! Go and cut off the heads of thousands of real slaves! At this time, the slave chief Dolgon was on the way out of Shandong, and the road stretched for dozens of miles was full of captured people and property escorted by Jiannu, defeating Jiannu and regaining the heavy property of the people. Other than that, there is no half-grain rice! ”

"Someone!"

Liao Dongzhi, Wu Biao, Lu Yunsheng, Mai Tiansheng, Huang Yishan, Yan Long and others intervened to salute together, and the armor and saber collided together and clanked chaotically.

"Beat this guy with forty military sticks, and the people who came with him each drew twenty whips and drove them out of Jinan!"

"The last general obeys!"

Dozens of personal soldiers, under the command of the officers, dragged the messenger to the ground like wolves, and then pulled off his pants in front of the main hall of the Arctic Pavilion, and picked up his military stick to greet him.

Under the stone platform of the Arctic Pavilion, which is more than two zhang high, the group of Guanning soldiers who have been stripped of their swords and armor have lost their dignity one by one when dealing with the people, and they are as greedy as wolves, and they are no different from the pigs and sheep that are about to be slaughtered.

A gang member of the Cao Gang was happy to do this kind of work, and while waving a leather whip made of raw buffalo leather wrapped in copper wire, he whipped the group of Guan Ning army masters, and he couldn't stop scolding in his mouth.

"My lord, Zu Kuan is rude and presumptuous, just reprimand. Why bother with such a bout? His face was very concerned, and in his heart he was very happy about the conflict between Shouhan and the Guanning Army.

"That group of goods who only know how to spoil the country's money and grain are also worthy of being presumptuous in front of this general? Tens of thousands of people dare not put an arrow on more than 1,000 real slaves, and let the useless people who are allowed to carry their children's jade silk back and forth, not to mention Zukuan, who was born as a domestic slave, is the whole army, and the general is not afraid! ”

"That's it! Our Nanzhong Army cut off the heads of 20,000 Jiannu with less than 10,000 soldiers, and if you are not convinced, you will also cut off these heads and come back! ”

Wu Biao spat at the messenger who had been beaten to the point where he couldn't breathe. (To be continued......)
