Chapter Ninety-Three: Knighthood
The Qing army was defeated from Xincheng, and after the death of the super-grade Gongyanguli, he lost his spirit. Lu Xiangsheng led the Ming army to pursue the Qing army behind him, and Azig withdrew from the pass from Dushikou with the defeated soldiers all the way.
From the Qing army entered the customs in June after the battle was invincible to poison Jinggi more than 1,000 miles, in addition to Changping City outside the city to capture the state and county 12 cities, more than 50 battles are all great victories, to Changping, the two sieges of the capital were frustrated, and finally in the new city was defeated, and in the field battle was defeated by the same number of Ming troops head-on, the Qing Dynasty has always been proud of the desperate advocacy of martial bravery, Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, the myth of 10,000 invincible was broken in one fell swoop.
Originally, in history, the Qing soldiers entered the customs and plundered millions of gold and silver, hundreds of thousands of people and animals, and the army of King Qin who came from all over the country did not dare to fight with them.
And Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of Yang Su's military department, would rather die than fight with the Qing army, pinching the time to take drugs every day, and finally calculated the time to die in office, winning the court's pension.
And all this was changed by Yang Su.
The news of the defeat of the Qing army reached the capital, and Wanmin Mountain shouted long live and celebrated for three days. A few days later, the forbidden army transported the head and armor of the Qing army to the capital, and the people of the capital spontaneously went out of the city for dozens of miles to greet each other, which was the first time that the Ming Dynasty won a big victory over the Qing Dynasty after the great victory of Ningyuan.
After the battle of Salhu, the Ming army was defeated in successive battles against the Qing Dynasty, and even the Ming army was afraid of the Qing soldiers like tigers, and often feared the battle first, so they could only rely on the Guanning defense line to resist the attack of the Qing soldiers and garrison the city with a strong city, even so, it was constantly encroached upon by the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty entered the customs several times as if it were no one, and even Huang Taiji only sent his generals to the expedition.
Just like Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, as the nominal supreme commander of the Ming army, he actually did not give any hope of defeating the Qing army at the beginning of the war, and thought about how he should die to get rid of his guilt at the beginning. Even Zhang Fengyi is like this, how can the Ming army win against the Qing army?
Xincheng's big victory made the entire Ming Dynasty raise their eyebrows, at least in their hearts, they would no longer be afraid of the Qing army as before.
At this time, when they heard that the Ming army had won a great victory in Xincheng and beheaded more than 5,000 Qing soldiers, how could the people of the capital, who had already been slaughtered by the Qing soldiers, not be surprised.
The people looked at the heads of the Qing soldiers escorted into Beijing by the forbidden army, and they were indignant, if it were not for the forbidden army to maintain order, they were afraid that the people would have rushed forward and crushed the heads of these Qing soldiers to ashes.
Yang Su was at the head of the city at this time, with hundreds of civil and military officials, to welcome the forbidden army into the city, seeing the performance of the people from a distance, Yang Su said coldly: "Spread my will, and build the heads of the Qing soldiers outside the capital into a Beijing view!" ”
Wen Tiren was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I will govern the world with benevolence and righteousness, and I am afraid that it is too ...... to build a view of Beijing."
Wen Tiren didn't finish speaking, and met Yang Su's cold gaze, and hurriedly shut up.
"Slave and maid, congratulations to the emperor, this Qing Dynasty has been raising troops for decades, this is the first time that I have killed an enemy chief in the Ming Dynasty! The battle of the new city to curb more than 100,000 strong captives, 30 years of accumulation, I am expected to be in the Ming Dynasty! Wang Chengen congratulated with a smile on his face.
"The Qing army was in trouble, and all the cities in the pass were overwhelmed. Only Huang Degong held Changping with 30,000 forbidden troops without losing! It is not that Changping has no traitors who have seized the door, and there are spies in the internal response, the emperor is determined by the emperor, and there is Huang Degong, wisdom and courage, and the lower officials think that it is appropriate to optimize their rank, and to know everything to entrust them, so as to make the best use of their talents! Xiao Ming knelt down and pleaded with Yang Su.
"Huang Degong is the commander of the Beijing Guard, and he is the commander of the three battalions in the capital for the commander-in-chief of the capital!" Yang Sudao.
The ministers all nodded, and it was not an exaggeration that Huang had the merit to defend the city and get this position.
"As for Lu Xiangsheng, he gave the python robe and the sword, and added the prince and young master, and still served as the governor of the five provinces.
Qin Liangyu served the frontier with women, unprecedented in ancient times, with his loyalty and martial strategy, he was ashamed of his eyebrows, and I wanted to seal Qin Liangyu as a loyal uncle! Yang Su's words instantly shook a thousand waves in the hearts of hundreds of officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered that non-Sheji military merits should not be knighted, in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, among so many fathers, only six were able to be extremely popular ministers and obtain the title of duke, and even Zhu Yuanzhang's good brother Tang He was not ranked as a duke, and the clever Liu Bowen was only ranked as an earl, and after Zhu Yuanzhang, there were only a handful of people who could be knighted as civil officials, and even Zhang Juzheng, who was a master and a teacher, had never received a knighthood, because he had no military merits, and even the lowest title of county was not allowed.
Not only Zhang Juzheng, but even Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang failed to get the title, and now the emperor actually wants to make Qin Liangyu an earl, and give him a reputation of loyalty, how not to make the ministers suspicious!
"Your Majesty, you can't be knighted if you don't have a military merit for you, although Qin Liangyu has made meritorious contributions now, but there are many people who have made outstanding achievements in the court, and none of them have been knighted, please think twice!" Wen Tiren hurriedly persuaded.
Qian Shisheng also went out to admonish: "Lu Xiangsheng is the commander of this battle in Xincheng, and the emperor only seals Qin Liangyu alone, and only Qin Liangyu is afraid that the generals will be dissatisfied, please think twice!" ”
"Destroying the front and trapping the enemy, the general is still difficult, and Qin Liangyu is a Tusi woman, raising troops and wrapping food, from the outside of the border to resist the Qing Dynasty to the provinces to fight three thousand miles of thieves, fighting his courage and strategy, and making achievements, Qin Liangyu's courage and perseverance, listed among the men with eyebrows, is also a rare man, and it is rare to get a unique jade in history, it is my luck to be Ming, I hereby praise it, what objections do you have?" Yang Su shouted coldly.
Yang Su's words made the ministers tremble and did not dare to say more.
"You can make an order, seal Qin Liangyu as a loyal uncle, and tell the world that there must be no mistakes!" Yang Su ordered.
Wen Tiren lowered his head and came out of the list.
"It's not just Huang Degong, the soldiers died for me, and they made great contributions to resisting the Qing army, and I will be rewarded!" Yang Su said loudly, and ordered the ministers: "This time, all the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded, and the military department can submit the list of meritorious soldiers, and I should award them with the land of Huangzhuang!" ”
……
Sun Chengzong knew the Qing Dynasty very well, and it can be said that the Ming Dynasty knew the Qing Dynasty officials best, knowing that the Qing soldiers were invincible, he abandoned all the cities in Korea at the beginning, and only sent 30,000 Ming troops to help defend the mountain city of Nanhan. intended to drag down the main army of the Qing Dynasty, and then sent a small team of Guanning Iron Cavalry to continuously invade the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty.
At this moment, the Qing Dynasty took Shenyang as its capital and unified the Jurchen tribes scattered in the northeast, but each tribe was scattered around Shenyang and formed separate villages. Just gave the Ming army an opportunity to take advantage of, the team of Guanning Iron Cavalry killed people day and night, and when they met a small tribe, they were even more brazen, and they also killed the cattle and sheep they had stolen, threw the corpses into the water source, and burned all the grain planted by the Qing people.
Although the Qing Dynasty still had tens of thousands of troops, in the face of the Guanning Iron Cavalry that was reduced to pieces, they often took care of one thing and lost the other, and the Qing people tasted the taste of being invaded and plundered for the first time.
