After Yuan Chonghuan planned to kill Mao Wenlong, he carefully verified the actual number of soldiers in Dongjiang Town, which was about 20,000. However www.biquge.info even so, Mao Wenlong can't be killed, and Dongjiang Town can't be weakened. This is one of the few major strategic choices that Emperor Chongzhen has been able to identify.

In the secret decree fed back to Mao Weizhang, Emperor Chongzhen clearly told Mao Weizhang that he already knew what he had reported, and at the same time explained that Mao Weizhang must focus on the overall situation of Liaodong, focus on uniting Dongjiang Town, and respect the opinions of Mao Wenlong and other Dongjiang generals in terms of military discipline and salary.

On this basis, Emperor Chongzhen also found the eunuch Gao Shiming, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and secretly instructed him to lead a number of Jinyi guards to escort a large number of military rations, ordnance, armor and other armaments, and personally went to Dongjiang Town to pass the decree, and told Mao Wenlong that the imperial court knew that Dongjiang Town had falsely reported military merits and risked the army's salary, but in the opinion that Mao Wenlong had made meritorious contributions to opening up Dongjiang Town and resisting the Jianjiao, he was not guilty of the past affairs, and all were pardoned, and he was ordered to make up the number of soldiers according to 30,000 posts. At the same time, the arrears of military salaries were also paid in full according to the number of 30,000 posts.

In addition, it was explicitly ordered that 3,000 new recruits should be allocated to build a battalion on their own, which would be under the direct command and dispatch of Mao Weizhang, the imperial secretary of the supervising army, and all the officers and assistants needed in the battalion should be transferred from the battalion head of Dongjiang Town.

After all, Mao Wenlong was born in Hangzhou, and later Liu Xingzuo, Liu Xingzhi and other Liaodong refugees are different after all, even if his subordinates really have the heart to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Mao Wenlong himself is estimated not to resolutely want to go to the foreign race, unless he is forced by the imperial court to have no way to live.

Emperor Chongzhen in this life, of course, will not repeatedly suspect him and persecute him, nor will he allow some people in the military department or household department to reduce his salary and cut off his food.

Compared with Mao Weizhang's secret fold, the situation reported by Wu Fu, the imperial historian of the Datong Town Supervisory Army, and Ma Maocai, the imperial historian of the Yansui Town Supervisory Army, needs to be dealt with immediately.

Wu Fu's secret fold not only said that Datong Town had too much empty salary, but also impeached Qu Jiazhen, the chief soldier of Datong Town, and Zhang Yiming, the governor of Datong Town, saying that Qu Jiazhen, as the chief soldier, not only did not repair armaments, but also secretly communicated with the Mongolian Tartar Khan Department, a family-run business, violated the imperial court ban, traded with the Mongolian Tartars, and the trade route was directly connected to Jianjiao, smuggled salt and iron forbidden goods, and sought ill-gotten gains; However, Zhang Yiming, the governor of Datong, did not report it, and in the southern invasion of the Khan Department in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he turned defeat into victory and merit, and killed good people and deceived the imperial court.

Ma Maocai also impeached the governor of Yansui, Yue Hesheng, saying that the three guards of Yansui were raging with thieves, but the governor Yue Hesheng turned a blind eye and did nothing, the guards were abolished, and the soldiers fled, and He Shiyu, the general soldier of Yansui, was resigned to it and helpless.

Wu Fu's impeachment, the historical Chongzhen Emperor sentenced Qu Jiazhen and Zhang Yiming to death after the investigation, but the Qu family in Qi County, Shanxi Province, where Qu Jiazhen is located, did not investigate in depth, and later this Qu family continued to trade with Jianyu, and eventually became a big family among the Jin merchants, one of the eight imperial merchants in the early Qing Dynasty, and in the heyday of the Qianlong period, the family property exceeded 10 million taels, which can really be called a rich country.

And although He Shiyu, the chief soldier of Yansui, is a mediocre person, he has a son who can fight called He Renlong.

The most famous thing about He Shiyu is that after the thieves captured Fengyang and dug up the ancestral tomb of the Zhu Ming royal family, He Shiyu immediately led the army to find and dig the ancestral tombs of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in Yansui and other places. The ancestral graves of these two big thieves, one in Mizhi and the other in Suide, are all under the jurisdiction of Yansui Town.

So later, Li Zicheng led his troops to attack the Yulin Acropolis of Yansui Town several times, and the Yulin guards all swore to resist. Of course, He Shiyu and He Renlong's father and son could not surrender to the thieves, so they could only fight with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to the end.

Emperor Chongzhen did not handle the impeachment of Wu Fu and Ma Maocai independently, but transferred it to the Military Aircraft Department, which studied the method of disposal.

Zhang Weixian consulted with Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua, and finally adhered to the emperor's will, and ordered the governor of Yansui Yue Hesheng to be dismissed from his post by the will of the imperial court.

For the impeachment of Datong Town, the Military Aircraft Department made a characterization of captivity and bullying the monarch, and the Datong general soldier Qu Jiazhen was sentenced to beheading, confiscated family property, and the clansmen were confiscated to Yunnan, while Zhang Yiming, the governor of Datong, was sentenced to confiscate family property, and his family was confiscated to Guangxi; The governor of Datong was promoted by Fan Fucui, who participated in the politics of Shanxi, and the general army of Datong Town was promoted by Zu Dashou, the deputy chief soldier of Jinzhou, Liaodong Town, and hung the seal of the general of the west.

After the decision of the Military Aircraft Department was reported to the emperor for approval, it was quickly forwarded to the cabinet, and the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Jinyi Guard responded and sent people to various places to deliver the decree. The appointment of Zu Dashou was not a whim of Emperor Chongzhen.

In fact, dismantling the original official families in Liaodong is the consistent idea of the current Emperor Chongzhen since he came to this time and space. But this time it was Sun Chengzong's proposal.

Sun Chengzong admired Zu Dashou very much, when he supervised Ji Liao, he also relied on Zu Dashou, at that time Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and others, were his very important generals, now Man Gui is the chief soldier of Liaodong Town, Zhao Shujiao is also the chief soldier of Shanhai Town, only Zu Dashou is still the deputy chief soldier, and when he met the position of the chief soldier of the right brand in Datong Town, he proposed to give Zu Dashou, who has made countless meritorious contributions, a chance.

Zu Dashou inherited the military position of Ning Yuanwei, and his father and ancestor undertook training, and the official was the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong Town. In the first year of the Apocalypse, Zu Dashou served as a guerrilla in the Chinese Army in Liaodong Town, and in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he was promoted to deputy chief soldier because of his meritorious service in guarding Ning Yuan, and then led 4,000 troops to garrison Jinzhou to this day.

This person is very complicated, there have been two surrenders to the Manchu Qing in history, the first time according to his own said that it was a false surrender, it was the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou led the army to be besieged in the city of Dalinghe, the city ran out of food, and the reinforcements were also defeated, so it was decided to surrender, and killed He Kegang, who would rather die than surrender; After surrendering, Zu Dashou asked to let him go back to Jinzhou, saying that he could persuade the Jinzhou defenders to surrender after returning to Jinzhou, so he let him go, but Zu Dashou did not lead the Jinzhou defenders to surrender after returning to Jinzhou, but began to organize resistance, and then the Ming court trusted him as before. This is the first surrender.

The second time is the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, when the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou was the last elite, the whole army was annihilated in the Battle of Songshan, Hong Chengchou himself surrendered to the Manchu Qing, and the ancestor Dashou stationed in Jinzhou was also besieged, and finally surrendered again with the aid of the grain, and then became the general soldier of the Han Army Zhenghuang Banner, followed the Manchu army into the pass, and died in Beijing in the thirteenth year of Shunzhi.

There are many controversies around Zu Dashou's two surrenders in later generations, as for whether the first time is a real surrender or a fake surrender, today's Chongzhen Emperor naturally can't say clearly, but he knows one thing, after Zu Dashou surrendered for the first time in history, Emperor Chongzhen once ordered Zu Dashou to enter Beijing three times to see His Majesty, and Zu Dashou all shirked and refused, and found a lot of reasons, in short, he refused to go. That's a bit weird.

The battle of Songshan in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the original purpose was to rescue Jinzhou, Jinzhou was besieged for a year, Zu Dashou continued to write for help, the imperial court forced Hong Chengchou to lead the army to relieve the siege, and as a result, an ambush was laid in Songshan, and the last elite army of the 130,000 Ming Dynasty was annihilated. Subsequently, Zu Dashou surrendered again in Jinzhou. This really can't help but make people wonder what happened when Zu Dashou surrendered for the first time.

Therefore, for Sun Chengzong's proposal to appoint Zu Dashou as the chief soldier of Datong Town, the current Emperor Chongzhen is also secretly happy in his heart. Because he was worried that Zu Dashou would find a reason and did not want to leave Liaodong, so at the personal suggestion of Emperor Chongzhen, he simply gave out the seal of the general of Zhengxi.

The general soldier with the general's seal is the chief soldier of the Ming army, and there are not many in total. For a general from a military family, this general seal of Zhengxi is much heavier than the title of a chief military officer.

Historically, after Qu Jiazhen was beheaded, the person who became the chief military officer of Datong Town was Man Gui, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, who is now stationed in Ningyuan.

Of course, in history, in the first year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou also became the chief soldier after Yuan Chonghuan became the governor of Jiliao, but this general soldier was the vanguard of Liaodong Town, stationed in Jinzhou, after Mangui left office, General Pingliao was printed to Zhao Shujiao, who was stationed in Shanhaiguan.

In this life, there is no transition of the Jinzhou Forward General Army, and he directly became the General Soldier of Datong Town, who was hung with the seal of the Western General, and he should not find a reason to refuse.

As for the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town stationed in Jinzhou, the successor provided by the Military Aircraft Department is He Kegang, the deputy general of Zu Dashou. This He Kegang was also a fierce general in the history of the Liaodong War at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it was naturally impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to disagree with this.

At the same time, Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Dale was also promoted from General Dalinghe to Deputy General of Jinzhou. And General Da Linghe, who is at the forefront of the fight against Jianyu, and now knows the history of later generations, Emperor Chongzhen, decisively circled the name of Xingshan garrison Jin Guofeng in the list of candidates provided by the Military Aircraft Department.

In the hierarchical bureaucratic system, the promotion of one person often means the promotion of a series of people, and it is believed that this will also become a factor that prompted Zu Dashou to go to Datong Town to take office.
