Participating in the battle in southern Liaoning this time, all the people of the Shenshu Battalion and Jinyiwei were at least promoted by one level, and each person received at least a few taels of silver.

Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian had already received three or four thousand taels of silver, and the other officers had also made hundreds of taels, so everyone was smiling, even the seriously wounded.

After all, most of the seriously wounded of the Shenshu Battalion and the Jinyi Guard were injured when they ransacked the village of Jiannu in southern Liaoning a month ago, and now they are basically able to take boats and cars.

Eighty-seven people were killed in the battle under the command of Fang and Li, 21 were seriously injured and disabled, 48 returned from injury, and 30 were still recuperating from their injuries, but they insisted on coming back, and the casualty rate reached 40%, which is enough to show the cruelty of the battle in southern Liaoning.

Chongzhen's performance of the other party and Li has long been fully affirmed, and he has repeatedly called on his ministers and civil officials and military officials to take them as an example and take the initiative to share the country's worries.

On the day the two returned to Beijing, they were summoned by the Son of Heaven to talk for an hour and a half, and finally the emperor gave them a generous gift.

Fang Zhenghua became a part-time master of ceremonies and a part-time royal horse supervisor, Li Ruolian is still a fellow of Jinyiwei but is in charge of three thousand households, and his son has obtained the shadow of Jinyiwei hundreds.

The emperor ordered the two to work hard, and asked Fang Zhenghua to start from the rectification of the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervision, and to train at least 5,000 cavalry after a year, and the combat effectiveness of these cavalry should not be weaker than that of a general Shenshu battalion participating in the battle in southern Liaoning.

The requirement for Li Ruolian is to train more than 3,000 brocade guards in three thousand households so that everyone can go to the battlefield and fight Jiannu.

With Huang Han's deliberate actions, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian, who died in Beijing on the day of the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history, got the opportunity to prove their bravery and loyalty to the emperor early.

Sure enough, the results were immediate, and Chongzhen, who has always been eclectic in using talents, gave the two enough power and trust.

Chongzhen, who is willing to use people, actually doesn't know people, and he has suffered such a loss by promoting Yuan Chonghuan to give him power, and it should be much better to have Huang Han to help him grow his eyes.

In the future, Huang Han will help him pull out the thorns in the flesh of Ruzu Dashou, Zuo Liangyu and others who want to move and throw rat bogeys, presumably Chongzhen will be more comfortable.

Don't worry, Daming still has eleven years to go, and you can slowly figure it out!

Chongzhen's main concern is, of course, how much the "Red Banner Army" has lost, and can it still fight?

Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian often talked with Huang Han, and also saw that the "Red Flag Army" suffered many casualties, and many child soldiers who were only teenagers died on the battlefield or were left with lifelong disabilities.

They knew that Huang Han needed time to train the miscellaneous soldiers he had just taken in, and those guards who had turned into regular soldiers also needed time to run in.

Jinzhou is full of devastation, and it takes manpower, material resources and time to operate it into an impregnable military town in order to be able to hold the southernmost Ming Dynasty 200 miles of rivers and mountains in eastern Liaodong, which is not an overnight achievement.

The premise of holding Jinzhou is that the "Red Flag Army" cannot be transferred, which Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian know very well.

With the identity of one of the eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, it shows that Fang Zhenghua entered the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty nearly ten years earlier than in history, and Jian Zaidi was favored earlier.

It is impossible for him to collude with Huang Han to deceive the Son of Heaven, but he knows that the "Red Banner Army" is currently holding on to Jinzhou, and it is possible to deal with Jiannu's counterattack, and it is definitely not enough to send troops to Liaodong to rescue the besieged Dalinghe City.

After careful consideration, Fang Zhenghua answered correctly, and he said: "Your Majesty, the ministers fought side by side with the people and horses of Dongjiang Town and the 'Red Banner Army' in southern Liaoning, and they have some understanding of their combat effectiveness.

Dongjiang Town has a lot of people but not many elite soldiers, the previous equipment is too poor, this time it has been captured a lot, it should be able to form a team of about 10,000 well-equipped, these people are not as good as the Guanning army, but they are more effective than the battalions of other border towns. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "After three years of chaos in Dongjiang, there has finally been a turnaround, I want to know if the generals of Dongjiang have the imperial court in their hearts?" Nine out of ten of the rebels in Nadenlai came from the Dongjiang River, and if they were not guarded against at this time, they would cause trouble. ”

"Your Majesty, Dongjiang Town has dropped from 280,000 soldiers and civilians in Mao Wenlong's heyday to 60,000 or 70,000 in hunger and cold, and the ministers were shocked when they first saw the 20,000 and thousands of soldiers and civilians brought by Huang Long and Jin Sheng.

Chongzhen sighed and said, "Alas! The lack of use by the imperial court has indeed suffered Dongjiang Town, but they are killing each other, and it is very likely that the imperial court will issue money and grain to raise tigers, so the military department and the household department have been reducing the quota. ”

"Your Majesty, the Jinzhou offensive and defensive battle Dongjiang Town fought bravely, Mao Chenglu led Chen Youde, Mao Yishun, Chen Shi and other generals to Zuo Xiandeng, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed in battle.

The deputy general Chen Shi who died in the battle, the general Mao Yishun, the general Chen Youde, and the generals under Chen Youde, had nineteen people, and before the battle, the generals of Dongjiang Town had only one request, that is, to avenge Mao Wenlong's grievances and ask His Majesty to give Zhaoxue. ”

Chongzhen pondered for a long time and said: "Liu Zhilun also played the matter of Zhao Xue Mao Wenlong, and I will consider it." ”

Fang Zhenghua said: "Mao Wenlong opened the town of Dongjiang for eight years, from scratch did have a great contribution to the imperial court, the crime governor Yuan Chonghuan's twelve beheadings are actually a crime to be added, at this time the Denglai Liao rebellion is when the situation is complicated, Your Majesty gave Mao Wenlong justice will be able to collect the hearts of the generals of Dongjiang Town." ”

Chongzhen nodded and said: "It makes sense, I will mention this in the morning tomorrow, presumably the cabinet will come up with the charter in these days." It's just that I don't know if I can transfer the people of Dongjiang Town to Denglai to quell the rebellion? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is better not to take risks than last resort, after all, Dongjiang Town still can't make the court feel at ease enough, although Huang Long, Jin Sheng, etc. are loyal to the court, but they have been running Dongjiang Town for a short time, and they can't do it like a finger."

"Like an arm? Indeed, Huang Han's 'Red Banner Army' has not been defeated in a hundred battles, and I am afraid that it has achieved this! ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the 'Red Banner Army' are all carved out of a mold, especially those children who have just turned fifteen years old and have been allowed to go to the battlefield, they are as enthusiastic about fighting as if they have been gifted, and once the war starts, they are indomitable, and they have never found anyone cowardly or escaped."

"I wonder how many people the 'Red Banner Army' can transfer at this time? The situation in Liaodong is worrying, Dalinghe City is in danger, and Jinzhou doesn't know what to do next? Shanshan Liukou has risen again and again, Denglai has been plagued by Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, and he is trapped internally and externally, how difficult it is for me! ”

Looking at the emperor who was only in his early twenties, his face was full of sadness, looking like he was not old and decrepit, and then thinking about the emperor's peer Huang Han's energetic and high-spirited pride, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian, who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, were all related.
