Chapter 406: After the War
Back at the camp, Su Zhengqing and Li Guangdi, who had already seen his generals returning, Li Guangxiong, three Nanming officials, plus a commander of a thousand households left by Zhang Qiang, came out to greet him.
"Foreign ministers, Li Guangdi, Su Zhengqing, Li Guangxiong, welcome the Grand Governor." Li Guangdi, the highest official position of the three people, led the way, followed by Li Guangxiong, and Su Zhengqing was the last, bowing in turn.
Over there, the commander of the thousand households where the Huaxia Army was stationed, one knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Welcome to the Grand Governor." ”
Zhang Qiang dismounted, stood in front of the four of them, faced a group of people behind them, and waved, "Get up." No need to be polite. Between gestures, the majesty of a big man after the victory was vividly expressed, all of which were subconscious actions, and Zhang Qiang did not realize that he had transformed from a worker with low self-esteem and self-pity into a feudal dynasty of high aristocratic power.
"Congratulations to the Grand Governor, congratulations to the Grand Governor, it is really exciting to achieve such a great victory, glorious to all the people, and glorious through the ages." Li Guangxiong preemptively smiled at Zhang Qiang and flattered.
"Hahaha, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning," Zhang Qiang smiled with a hint of pride, even he felt incredible, and felt that it was very difficult to defeat more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Taixi people with 5,000 soldiers and horses, this was the first time that the Huaxia Army was upright, in the case of very few troops, using the platoon gun shooting tactics to defeat the enemy with a disparity in strength, or those who he always thought that the platoon gun shooting tactics carried forward, the Taixi people.
"Back to camp." Everyone was talking about this battle, and Zhang Qiang waved his hand and returned to the camp to discuss.
Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Qiang returned to the military tent in the camp.
After taking his seat, Zhang Qiang said to Su Zhengqing: "General Su, what is the situation with the prisoners held in the camp?" ”
Su Zhengqing stood up and arched his hand: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the captives were very stable at first, but with the progress of the war, they were irritable and abnormal later, in order to avoid causing more commotion among the prisoners, the last general killed a group of people to stabilize the situation, and failed to share the worries of the metropolitan governor. ”
Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, and said appreciatively: "General Su did the right thing, how can there be any punishment, besides, it is not my general, I can't blame you, but I have to thank General Su for stabilizing the rear for me, otherwise tens of thousands of prisoners rushed out and disrupted the rear of our army, which may lead to a fiasco, General Su has made a lot of contributions, and I can't reward you, in this way, on behalf of the Huaxia Army, I will give General Su a thousand horses captured this time, two hundred and ten thousand taels of silver, to thank the general for his support, how about it?" ”
"Governor Xie," Su Zhengqing immediately bowed, looking grateful.
When it was over, he raised his head and peeked at Li Guangdi, Li Guangxiong and the two civil officials, for fear that his scene would be reported and he would be suspicious of Longwu.
Although his uncle Su Guansheng was the first assistant of the dynasty, everyone knew that it was difficult to be the first assistant of the previous imperial courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
There is no military power, and the right to speak is in the hands of some courtiers, who are excluded, jealous, and constrained too much, and that is a bag that can't do things.
If it weren't for the powerful ministers, he would definitely be angry, and the powerful ministers were often suspicious, so he had to think about doing things, just stabilizing the court and doing something he wanted to do, it would take him a lot of energy.
Su Guansheng is a strong first assistant, but he has not yet reached the level of a powerful minister, needless to say that Longwu is shrewd and capable, and some practices are still very popular with officials, so it is said that now Nanming still has the problem of not being able to control the army generals, so Su Guansheng can't do anything.
Huang Binqing is undoubtedly the most trusted general of Longwu, he controls most of the military power, and Feng Shuangli, who took refuge in him, controls part of the military power and territory, relying on these two people Longwu Nanming to maintain the current situation.
Now that Huang Binqing has died in battle, the situation on the seaside is out of control now, and the troops are almost all wiped out, which means that the troops and forces loyal to Longwu on Huang Binqing's side have been weakened, and the situation of Zheng Chenggong or Ma Shiying in the Hongguang court may appear again in the DPRK and China in the future.
This time he defeated the Tessie coalition and solved the crisis in the south, but the crisis in the north was highlighted, and this side could not form a strong support for that side, but had to draw troops from that side to take over this side, otherwise this side would be called a paradise for rebels and pirates.
Lee and Lee looked at him with squinting eyes, then turned their heads, pretending not to see his current overzealous enthusiasm for a foreign monarch.
Zhang Qiang waved his hand to make Su Zhengqing get up, turned his head to Li Guangdi and said, "Now that the Taixi people are all wiped out, I don't know how to deal with the situation here on the side of the Southern Ming Imperial Court?" ”
"Thank you to the Metropolitan Governor for his hard work for the affairs of the Southern Ming Kingdom, but the Metropolitan Governor must remember that even if the Metropolitan Governor has established a country on his own, the Metropolitan Governor has always been a Ming person, and now you and I are in harmony, and the Metropolitan Governor is even more for the Southern Ming Kingdom to come to help in person, and the Foreign Minister Li Guangdi thanked the Metropolitan Governor on behalf of the Southern Ming Kingdom." Li Guangdi still behaved like a loyal courtier of the Southern Ming Kingdom, how could Zhang Qiang not understand the meaning of his words.
This is to pick peaches, he has long been mentally prepared for this, to be honest, if he hadn't hesitated, if the Ming army hadn't been defeated too quickly, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, he was hurt by others, he came to clean up the mess again, when Longwu Nanmingguo begged him to do things, he could get greater benefits, but the Longwu Nanmingguo he had pit before was too powerful, which made them all disgusted, and now he didn't think about pitting them too much.
After defeating the Taixi coalition army this time, he already has a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of his Huaxia army, just a small land, when he wants, send 10,000 troops, just a field brigade, and he can get it back overnight, and he can't offend Nanming for this, just let them take it.
Anyway, this place has been broken, what he wants is actually the dignity and land of the Han people, and other foreign races cannot be allowed to occupy it, Nanming is a dignified Han court, what if they give it, the meat is rotten in the pot, it is better than others to eat it.
"Hehe, that's it, okay, I don't want anything but captives this time, I don't know if Master Li is satisfied?"
Zhang Qiang said with a smile.
"Okay, good, satisfied," Li Guangdi was also confused by Zhang Qiang's proposal for a while, when did the always strong Metropolitan Governor of the Huaxia Army be so reasonable?
Li Guangxiong frowned, although his position was not high, he also knew that he couldn't do this, so he hurriedly interjected: "In addition to the territory of this trench realm, the governor of the capital can choose what he wants to take away at will, and the foreign minister agreed to come down on behalf of the imperial court." ”
Li Guangdi was stunned, patted his head, and thought clearly that Li Guangxiong was making amends for him, the Huaxia army was strong and unreasonable, how many times had they pit Nanmingguo, could they not want anything, just some prisoners? It is impossible that there must be a big conspiracy, although Li Guangxiong agreed to come down without his consent, this is to remedy him and prevent disasters for the Southern Ming Kingdom, now if the Chinese military governor is dissatisfied and angry, and waives his army to fight, how can the Southern Ming Kingdom, which is suffering from internal and external troubles, resist?
It will be destroyed in an instant.
Hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, whatever the governor wants, just go and get it, the foreign minister will report to the court and try his best to provide convenience for the Huaxia Army, after all, the Huaxia Army has made great efforts to recover here." ”
"Hahaha, then thank you two, rest assured that the Huaxia Army will not take more, there are a lot of the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army will not take a single grass or tree, and the Huaxia Army will only take what the Huaxia Army needs."
Su Zhengqing saw that the matter was solved and asked, "The Grand Duke, the outer sea, and the thousands of ships of the Taixi people, are still a big problem. ”
Li Guangdi's eyes darkened, and he said with some embarrassment: "Yes, there is no sailor in Nanming Kingdom." ”
