Volume 3 Chapter 39 Indiscriminate Promotion
As soon as the power of the giant thunder came out, Dong Wei was scared stupid on the spot, not that he was timid, but mainly because he was defenseless, his attention was attracted by Yang Cong, and suddenly there was a loud noise, it was strange that he was not startled.
At this time, Mao Bowen nodded thoughtfully, not to mention the lethality of this giant thunderbolt, this sound alone is enough to frighten the war horse, once the war horse is frightened, the Tartar cavalry formation will be chaotic, and it is not surprising that the formation is in chaos.
He looked at the neat trebuchet array, and couldn't help but praise: "Qingfeng, your tactics of combining trebuchets and thunderbolts are really good, and they are worth learning from all border towns. ”
Yang Cong hurriedly said modestly: "My lord has won the award, this is actually a tactic that Lord Wang Xuan came up with, and the lower officials just took advantage of the situation." ”
Mao Bowen looked at Wang Xuan again, and then nodded and said, "Well, it's good, as long as everyone works together, why worry about the injustice." ”
Yang Cong pointed to Tang Shunzhi and introduced: "This time, in the arrangement of the formation and the actual combat drill, Yixiu also contributed a lot. ”
Tang Shunzhi has served in the Ministry of War many times, and has a close relationship with Nie Bao, Mao Bowen naturally knows him, he nodded again and said: "Very good, Yixiu, you are very good, you have not embarrassed the Ministry of War." ”
Yang Cong thought for a while, then pointed at Shen Lian and said, "Chunfu also made a good suggestion, that is, use the crossbow to block and kill the Tartar cavalry close to the chariot, and the effect of this battle is also very good." ”
Mao Bowen nodded again, and then said with interest: "Qingfeng, why don't we go down and take a look at the car array." ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he hurriedly took his hand and led Mao Bowen and his party down.
Mao Bowen came to the car formation, carefully looked at the structure of the fire dragon chariot, and listened carefully to Tang Shunzhi and Zhao Shichun's introduction to various details, and his face couldn't help showing a look of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Cong took Mao Bowen and his party to the battlefield and examined the corpses of the Tartar cavalry.
Mao Bowen is also a battle-hardened veteran, whether he is a good person or not, he can see at a glance, it is obvious that the corpses of more than a thousand Tatar cavalry on the battlefield are real.
At this point, he was already fully convinced that Yang Cong had indeed defeated the Tartar cavalry in the previous battle, and it was a big defeat.
Because of the controversy between the DPRK and China over this great victory, he did not bring any reward materials, but he solemnly promised the border soldiers that after returning to Beijing, they must give them good merit, and there will be rewards.
After returning to the capital, he wrote a detailed letter, praised Yang Cong and the soldiers of Xuanfu Town, and analyzed the reasons for winning this battle in detail, and put forward a proposal to reward the soldiers of Xuanfu Town.
Jiajing watched Mao Bowen's recital, and was really happy in his heart.
The so-called love house and Wu, of course he hopes that this prospective brother-in-law can get a proud record, on the contrary, if Yang Cong lies and deceives the king, he doesn't know what to do.
What's more, he really wants to solve the problem of Tartar as soon as possible, and Yang Cong's performance in this battle has given him real hope.
He always felt a little illusory about the exploits reported by Qiu Luan, and he didn't think that Qiu Luan could really solve the problem of Tartar in his heart.
Yang Cong's performance made him feel at ease, if all the soldiers of the border army were really equipped with new weapons, wouldn't the Tatar cavalry be wiped out!
Qiu Luan only got such a little record and was promoted to the trilateral general system, so what about Yang Cong?
At this time, he made the mistake of "promoting" officials according to the rules again, and he decided to give Yang Cong another three promotions!
Yang Cong is already a bachelor from the Wupin Hanlin Academy, and if he is promoted to three levels in a row, he will be a member of the imperial court, and according to the law, he will organize court discussions.
However, Jiajing was notoriously unusual, and when he wanted to promote officials without following the rules, he generally did not organize formal court meetings, but regarded the early dynasty as court meetings.
He is a bit of a scoundrel, which means that I have already discussed it in the early court, even if it has been discussed by the court, and I have not violated the ancestral system!
Every time he does this, he will make the courtiers cry and laugh, and sometimes the early dynasty will become very lively because of this, because the court meeting is to let everyone speak freely and express their opinions.
This time, he decided to do it again, so he returned the recital to Mao Bowen and motioned for Mao Bowen to read it out in public the next morning.
Of course, Mao Bowen understood what Jiajing meant, the emperor was afraid that he was going to be a scoundrel again this time, and he was going to promote Yang Cong hard, originally, he also had some opinions about Jiajing's approach, but this time, he was quite supportive, because he also hoped that a young talent like Yang Cong would be promoted.
The next morning, at the beginning of the recital, Mao Bowen took the opportunity to lie in the middle of the royal road and read the recital aloud.
His thoughts, very courtiers understand, the emperor wants to "violated" Yang Cong to promote Yang Cong!
Sure enough, as soon as Mao Bowen finished reading it, Jiajing showed "surprise" on his face and praised Yang Cong greatly, and then he began to promote indiscriminately.
Yang Cong was promoted to the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court and the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the governor of the Xuanfu;
Zhu Xizhong was promoted to the governor of the rear army and the governor of the left capital;
promoted Qi Jingtong to be the deputy chief soldier of the Beijing battalion;
promoted Tang Kekuan as the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu Town;
promoted Tang Shunzhi to be the military department Langzhong;
Zhao Shichun was promoted to the Ministry of War;
promoted Wang Xuan to be a member of the Ministry of Labor;
Promote Shen Lian to be a thousand households in brocade clothes.
This time, the courtier's expression was wonderful.
Yang Ming Yimai and Zhang Yue, Xu Yande and others were naturally full of joy, because Yang Cong was in a group with them, and most of the people promoted by Jiajing were in a group with them, and they could be said to have won a big victory this time!
Xia Yan's party officials were full of astonishment, what are you kidding, Yang Cong has just been promoted from the Hanlin Academy to the Hanlin Academy for less than half a year, and now he has been promoted to three levels in a row, and he has been promoted to the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, which is too exaggerated, right?
I was upgraded to five levels in half a year!
Followed by six squires, six scholars, and cabinet scholars, if this rate continues, within three years, Yang Cong will become a giant in the DPRK, how can this work!
At this time, almost all the courtiers' eyes faintly glanced at Xia Yan, the Yangming lineage and Xia Yan's party did not deal with each other, which is already well known in the court, Yang Cong, the rising star of the Yangming lineage, is so rising, won't Xia Yan come forward to stop it?
Of course, Xia Yan wanted to come forward to stop it, but Jiajing's trick was too sudden, and he was a little caught off guard.
Just as he was thinking about how to stop it, Yan Song suddenly walked out of the train and slowly walked towards the middle of the royal road.
This guy is not bad, he actually knows to take the initiative to stand up and stop it.
Seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, Yan Song's next words almost shocked his jaw and fell to the ground.
I saw Yan Song lying in the middle of the royal road and said loudly: "The emperor is wise, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, and the soldiers of the border army will be inspired to kill the enemy bravely!" ”
This fart was slapped, and Jiajing's mouth was about to rise to the sky.
Why did Yan Song say this, did he want to betray Xia Yan and take refuge in Yangming's lineage?
Of course not, he wanted to betray Xia Yan, but he didn't want to take refuge in Yangming, he wanted to erect his own banner and seize Xia Yan's power!
The reason why he dared to say this was also confident, because he had promoted Qiu Luan in front of Jiajing a few days ago, and he used the argument of rewarding merit and punishing him, and now he repeats it again, and it is not contradictory.
More importantly, he wanted Xia Yan to be deflated.
He is a secretary of the ministry, a cabinet scholar, and there are many henchmen under him, he has said so, who will jump out and oppose it?
Xia Yan?
He guessed that Xia Yan didn't have the courage to do so.
Because this is proposed by Jiajing, Yang Ming must be extremely in favor, Gonghou Xungui is basically on Yang Cong's side, and if he stands again, Xia Yan will basically become a loner, even if he is the first assistant of the cabinet!
