Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VII The Bloody Battle in the Southwest

Chapter 4 Soldiers will be rewarded heavily

Section 6 Gather the stars

In the second year of the Apocalypse (the seventh year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), in early September, Chengdu.

After Liu Yunwei took care of his mother's funeral, the whole person was in extreme sadness and couldn't help himself, and he had no intention of dealing with military affairs. Liu Yunwei just locked himself in the mansion and immersed himself in the pain of losing his loved ones all day long.

Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhou Tianyi and others were very worried when they saw this, worried that Liu Yunwei would not be able to resist the blow and collapse.

But everyone's worries were superfluous, and during the period of Liu Yunwei's decadence, Yuan Mingxuan sent someone to send urgent information to Liu Yunwei about the controversy between the DPRK and China about rewarding the army.

After Liu Yunwei saw this urgent report, he instantly understood the focus of the dispute among the ministers in the court, that is, the power in his hands had made the court feel threatened! If this matter is not handled well, it will definitely affect the reward of this battle, and the officers and soldiers of the Hanwei Army will definitely be resentful, and it will also cause the imperial court to be wary of themselves and Tongzhou Town, and in the end, they and their soldiers may really go to the "Storm Pavilion"!

In the face of such a big crisis, Liu Yunwei could only temporarily hide his endless grief deep in his heart, cheered himself up, and summoned Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Gandang, Gao Hongguang, Huang Fuming, Zhou Tianyi, and Hu Kun, among them, Yuan Mingxuan's urgent report was made public.

For a while, everyone present felt extremely angry, Zhao Kaishan and Wang Dangdang even shouted that they wanted to wave their troops north to the side of the Qing Dynasty and admonish them, and they were immediately reprimanded by Liu Yunwei.

Zhou Tianyi frowned and said, "Zongzhen, what are your plans for this matter?" ”

Liu Yunwei sighed heavily and said: "The rewards of the soldiers must be paid in full, and at the same time, I must also keep filial piety in the army, which is the premise." Other than that, the rest is negotiable! ”

Zhou Tianyi nodded and said: "The head town has broken the crux of this matter, the threat of Liaodong Jiannu is getting worse day by day, and the head town must not go home and give up the military power, otherwise not only will the imperial court lose a general, but the soldiers of the Hanwei army will also face danger." ”

Lu Ying asked, "Big brother, now the things here in Chengdu have been almost dealt with." The capture of the army has been basically disposed of to the king of Shu, and the army has obtained 50,000 stone grain and grass, which can be said to have been sold to the king of Shu for a great favor; And the officers and men of each battalion have also finished resting and can go north at any time. Now that the will of the imperial court has not been issued for a long time, can we just wait indefinitely? ”

At this time, Hu Kun said: "Zongzhen, are we looking for the King of Shu?" ”

"No!" Liu Yunwei shook his head and said, "We have just befriended the King of Shu, and letting the King of Shu help us with such a big favor in a blink of an eye will only make the King of Shu dissatisfied, and it will not help." ”

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Liu Yunwei seemed to understand something, slowly stood up, and said to Lu Ying and the other eight people present: "After this battle, you can at least be promoted to the next level, according to the Ming system, you are all generals who can lead the army to defend one side." Therefore, I decided to take the initiative to go to the imperial court, divide the main army of the Hanwei army, and the soldiers of each battalion were stationed in various places around Tongzhou, and at the same time hand over the right to requisition and transfer the army to the imperial court, and requisition and transfer according to the will of the imperial court. In this way, I should be able to dispel the suspicion of most of the ministers of the imperial court. ”

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone rose up to oppose them, especially Lu Ying and other eight leading generals, who were even more violent, and their rhetoric was very fierce.

Lu Ying said: "Big brother, in this way, Tongzhou Town will exist in name only, this move must not be!" ”

Wu Xing also said: "Big brother, if Wei Zhongxian or other ministers are interested in rectifying us, this move just provides an opportunity for the other party!" ”

Zhao Kaishan jumped up and shouted: "Except for my eldest brother, I won't listen to anyone's orders!" ”

Liu Yunwei looked at the extremely excited generals, looked at Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun, who were bitterly admonishing him, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone is a little restless, I decided to make this concession after careful consideration." Although after the implementation of this move, I did not have the right to transfer troops, but the battalions of the Hanwei Army are still the soldiers and horses of my Tongzhou Town, and if the imperial court wants to recruit a certain battalion or several battalions of soldiers and horses to go on the expedition, it must be commanded by my Tongzhou Town, which is the premise of everything. ”

Everyone calmed down their emotions a little when they heard Liu Yunwei say this, but there was still some resistance in their expressions.

Liu Yunwei immediately spoke to everyone for a while, and finally said: "In the face of the current situation, it is necessary for us to make concessions first. If the imperial court has to make an inch, or puts forward any conditions that Tongzhou Town cannot accept, it will not be too late for us to negotiate with the imperial court. In addition, this idea of mine will also be submitted to the imperial court through the military department Shangshu and the governor of Jiliao, Lord Sun, and I think Lord Sun will also speak for us. ”

Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Liu Yunwei immediately made a decision, personally wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to Tongzhou, and prepared to inform Yuan Mingxuan to personally go to Shanhaiguan to meet Sun Chengzong, the governor of the Ministry of War and Jiliao, to tell the reason.

After the handwritten letter was sent away, Liu Yunwei cheered himself up and began to deal with military affairs, using heavy military affairs to offset the grief in his heart. After a while, Sun Chengzong's reply was delivered, and Liu Yunwei opened it and said to everyone: "It's okay now, I think it won't take long for our reward to come down." ”

So, Liu Yunwei ordered the army to hurry up and pack up and be ready to go north to Tongzhou at any time.

After a few more days, the court's reward really arrived, and when I saw that the court actually named Liu Yunwei as a broken soldier, and also awarded martial arts and loose ranks, everyone was very excited, how many years has the dynasty not had a martial artist knighthood, does this mean that the dynasty is facing severe side affairs, and the national policy of using literature to control military affairs has begun to loosen?

Liu Yunwei was also overjoyed, he didn't expect that the court's reward would be so heavy, and a stone in his heart could be regarded as landing. So, Liu Yunwei first distributed all the rewards issued by the imperial court to the soldiers, and then gathered all the generals and officials of the whole army to distribute the official uniforms, tokens, and farewell of the imperial court to the generals.

In the compound outside the main hall of Liu's mansion, all the generals were divided into eight columns according to the battalion:

The first column on the left hand is the general of the pacesetter battalion, Guo Yi was promoted to the garrison because of his merits, and was appointed by Liu Yunwei as the chief general of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry, and behind him stood Feng Tian (A Battalion), Feng Xuan (B Battalion), Bao Desheng (C Battalion), Edward (Artillery Battalion), and Zhu Xuyu (Baggage Battalion) Five garrisons;

The second column is the general of the Feiyu battalion, and behind the deputy general soldier Lu Ying stands Jiang Wentian (Battalion A), Tian Qing (Battalion B), Liu Heihu (Battalion C), Cen Shaomin (Cavalry Battalion), Chen Xu (Artillery Battalion), and Han Yang (Baggage Battalion) six garrisons;

The third column is the generals who are trapped in the camp, and behind the general Wu Xing stand Zhang Xun (Battalion A), Sun Mingwu (Battalion B), Zhou Qin (Battalion C), Gong Jun (Cavalry Battalion), Wang Tianqi (Artillery Battalion), and Zhou Yi (Baggage Battalion) Six garrisons;

The fourth column is the general of the Huben battalion, and behind the general Zhao Kaishan stood Li Meng (Battalion A), Zhao Chuanwu (Battalion B), Wei Huang (Battalion C), Kong Xuan (Cavalry Battalion), Jin Zhao (Artillery Battalion), and Jinzhan (Baggage Battalion) six garrisons;

The sixth column is the general of the Zhichong battalion, and behind the general Wang Dangdang stood Tao Jiakuo (Battalion A), Cao Yuan (Battalion B), Lu Mingda (Battalion C), Wang Tianyi (Cavalry Battalion), Xu Hong (Artillery Battalion), and Zhao Yunian (Baggage Battalion) six garrisons;

The seventh column is the general of the Yingyang battalion, and behind the general Gao Hongguang stands Liang Hu (Battalion A), Liang Bao (Battalion B), Zhao Kang (Battalion C), Liu Sanming (Cavalry Battalion), Qi Sheng (Artillery Battalion), and Yan Shouli (Baggage Battalion) six garrisons;

The eighth column is the general of the Changshui battalion, and behind the general Wen Poyu stands Hua Tulong (Battalion A), Qin Zhen (Battalion B), Wuhang (Battalion C), Shi Ke (Battalion Ding), Wenlong (Artillery Battalion), and Shi Ke (Baggage Battalion) six garrisons;

The ninth column is the general of the Yulin battalion, and behind the general Huang Fuming stood Liu Jinhui (Battalion A), Lan Yuan (Battalion B), Li Mingzhi (Battalion C), You Dagui (Battalion Ding), Li Genqi (Artillery Battalion), and Zhao Meng (Baggage Battalion) six garrisons;

The original battalions of the Hanwei Army were all promoted to 1,000 because of merit, and all the previous 1,000 generals were promoted to garrisons because of merit, so there was no guerrilla general level among the battalions.

Liu Yunwei stood in front of the generals, looked at the dozens of generals in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited, and said secretly: "These are all the fierce generals of my Hanwei army, and they are all hot-blooded sons of China!" ”

And Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun were standing behind Liu Yunwei at this time, looking at the generals in front of them, only to feel a wave of masculinity rushing towards them, scorching the two of them to the point of boiling, and they both surged with a pride of abandoning the pen and following Rong.

Liu Yunwei looked at the generals under his command and said loudly: "Colleagues, tomorrow, the officers and soldiers of my Hanwei Army will go north and return to Tongzhou, and each battalion will also be stationed in various places. On the occasion of the victory of the army, in addition to the joy in our hearts, we should also remember that Liaodong is still under the iron hooves of Jiannu, and the people of Liaodong are still in the dust. After the army returned to Tongzhou, the battalions immediately began to prepare for war, and only after the order of the imperial court, the officers and men of our Hanwei army were going north to Liaodong again. As a warrior of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong will not return for a day, and we will continue to wait for a day! ”

"Restore Liaodong! Wansheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
