Chapter 208: Beware of villains

"Wang Zheng ......"

Emperor Chongzhen muttered a few words, obviously unable to remember.

The Son of Heaven has a lot of opportunities, especially a diligent monarch like Emperor Chongzhen, he has come into contact with too many people and affairs, and there are only two times in the impression of the name Wang Zheng, one is to report success, and the other is related to Liu Zeqing, it is still very difficult to remember.

When Wang Chengen saw Emperor Chongzhen's expression, he naturally understood what was going on, and hurriedly reminded:

"Your Majesty, it is the deputy chief soldier of Denglai, Wang Zheng, the one who wiped out the 800 Qing troops on Kongkong Island some time ago."

patted his head, Emperor Chongzhen just remembered that Wang Zheng had indeed won a lot of Tartar heads that time, and he was still stacked in Beijing not long ago.

"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Zheng only has more than a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he crosses the sea, how can he make a big move in Jinzhou?"

"The emperor forgot, now Wang Zheng is already the deputy chief soldier of Denglai, and now the Dengzhou battalion in his hand has 5,000 soldiers who can fight, and they are all pulled to Jinzhou to let the Tartars drink a pot."

"Five thousand battleable soldiers.." Chongzhen muttered a few words, and said hatefully: "That Liu Zeqing is really a useless thing, after being the Shandong general soldier for so long, there are not more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the general army, Wang Zhengcai has been the local deputy chief soldier for a few months, and he actually pulled up 5,000 soldiers and horses to ask for battle." ”

Chongzhen said this, Wang Chengen didn't say much, and when he finished speaking, he carefully handed over two copies of the note, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, this is the performance of Xu Renlong, the governor of Denglai, and Han Dahu, the chief soldier of Denglai."

"Bring it in."

Yawning, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand to take the song and opened it carefully.

After reading it, Chongzhen was a little surprised, Han Dahu was Wang Zheng's old official, and the two must have some friendship, and it makes sense for him to speak for Wang Zheng.

But Xu Renlong was the governor of Denglai sent by himself, and he was sent to replace Yang Wenyue because he was selfless, and he went for less than two months, and he actually began to speak for Wang Zheng.

"Wang Zhengzhong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Denglai, is loyal and brave, and he led the Dengzhou battalion to cross the sea, and all ministries and institutes have departments and yamen to help."

Although he thought so, Emperor Chongzhen finally approved Wang Zheng's request.

After all, there are not many generals who go to the court to ask for war, and there are even fewer people who dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Tartars.

"Hey! The minion is going to make a plan! ”

Wang Chengen went happily, Chongzhen raised his head and glanced at the dim moonlight, sighed and continued to open the next fold.

Wang Chengen closed the door carefully, turned his head and said:

"Inform the imperial dining room, make some night meals for the emperor to make up for his body, now Da Ming can rely on the emperor, and his body must not collapse."

"Don't worry, father-in-law, the little one will go to the imperial dining room."

......

With the emperor's will, Tiqi came to Zhiye County, Denglai Mansion in mid-October, and after reading the holy decree, Xu Renlong and Han Dahu were hospitable, and sent some silver according to the custom, and Tiqi went back satisfied.

The emperor's will has been issued, first of all, the Beijing division has its own divisions and yamen, and the military department will issue orders to Hejian, Baoding, and Zhending prefectures, and squeeze out some military salaries to send to the Dengzhou battalion.

Baoding, Zhending and other distant state capitals are iron rooster plucking, there are not a few roots out at all, Hejian Mansion due to geographical reasons, sandwiched between Beijing and Shandong, so it is the most contribution, accounting for all sixty percent.

But then again, this military salary was constantly deducted by civil and military officials from all over the country along the way, and there was not much that actually arrived in Dengzhou, which was better than nothing.

Thousands of miles to send feathers, the gift is light and affectionate.

Wang Zheng also understood that during this kind of war, all the departments of the imperial court mobilized to squeeze out some milk for the Dengzhou battalion, in addition to the emperor's decree, the reason for the vigorous agitation of the celebrant should also be related to the general opinion of the officials in the court.

Wang Zheng's trip to Liaodong was a real act of sending him to death, no one thought that anyone in the Dengzhou camp could come back alive, and the civil officials felt that this was for the sake of the country's righteousness, and it was rare that they were not impeached, and even mobilized various ministries and institutes to come to a "send-off salary".

Not to mention that the civil officials have praise and disapproval, the generals often laugh when they hear the news, it seems that this Wang Zheng luckily killed a few Tartars and felt that the Dengzhou camp was invincible in the world, and it seemed that his brain was unwilling to die.

In addition, the happiest are the civil and military officials of Shandong Province.

Because the Dengzhou battalion belongs to the jurisdiction of Shandong no matter how it is said, if it is destroyed this time, it will even be good for them, and the Tartars will enter the Kou and erode all over the country, and the crime of dereliction of duty of the civil and military officials in Shandong Province can at least be absolved because of this incident.

It's better to win, others can only get military merit when they fight with their heads outside, and they can also get military merit while lying at home, so Wang Zheng went out this time, and almost all the officials in Shandong Province fully supported him.

But it's all verbal support, let them take money or food, don't even think about it.

Although the Dengzhou battalion promised to send troops to assist, this time it was a life-and-death battle related to survival, and it was not allowed to be sloppy.

Dengzhou began to get busy again, and Li Yan, the left military council, Gu Junen, the chief staff officer, and the staff officers of the military council department began to discuss day and night.

Everything from where to land, how long it takes to go back and forth, to where to run into the sea if you encounter hard stubble, and so on, all of these need to be carefully planned.

The right army council Guan Qingtian is good at commanding and mobilizing, so the dry food, ordnance and other military supplies carried by the baggage battalion, as well as the rear supply and transportation, all need him to coordinate with Xu Kewen, who is in charge of the army.

Until now, Wang Zhengzhi has realized the trouble of the army, how can it be as easy as he said before, what he wants to bring out this time is nothing more than the total strength of 5,000 soldiers, and that's it, the effort to arrange things inside and out has made his head big.

On October 26, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Wang Zheng felt that he was almost ready, and before leaving, he first sent two letters to Yang Wenyue and Wu Weizhong, and then went to Ye County, and found the governor Xu Renlong and the general soldier Han Dahu to discuss.

After the Dengzhou battalion soldiers were deployed, there were still regular soldiers and Yanding stationed inside and outside Dengzhou, and the total number of people was more than that of the regular soldiers, so it was not empty, but it still needed to be arranged, so as not to take advantage of the fire and rob Liu Zeqing's villain.

Xu Renlong is a righteous man, knowing that Wang Zheng sacrificed his life for the country, his hometown naturally wants to guard for others, so he immediately guaranteed it, and asked Wang Zheng if he had any last words to say.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng shook his head, Xu Renlong's words were too straightforward, and he felt that he was going to die generously this time.

However, Wang Zheng has never looked forward to the future, and immediately went to Han Dahu after leaving Xu Renlong, asking him to send troops to garrison Changyi, Pingdu Prefecture, and Jimo.

If there is any movement of Liu's department, immediately notify Deng Heizi, the commander of the Dengzhou battalion who stayed in Penglai, to prevent the "villain" from taking advantage of the situation.

As for who this villain was, Wang Zheng didn't say much, and Han Dahu naturally didn't ask more, both of them understood in their hearts.

Han Dahu immediately patted his chest and said that as long as he was there, Liu's people didn't want to pass through Laizhou Mansion quietly.

Han Dahu is Wang Zheng's old boss, and Wang Zheng believes in his character and guts, and if he can say this, he will naturally really take it to heart.

Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to return to Penglai that day, and after drinking a send-off wine in Hanfu and getting drunk with Han Dahu, he rode a fast horse and rushed back to Penglai overnight to explain other things.
