Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Post-War Summary Meeting (II)

Wang Shouren is back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The pursuit of more than 3,000 people brought back a lot of results.

Whoever came back could have no less than two or three heads on his saddle.

After registering military merits, the outer gate of the capital was piled up with a large Beijing temple.

"The Tatars have no intention of fighting at all!" Wang Shouren, who was wearing armor, poured a large sip of the tea handed over by Zhu Houzhao, and then continued: "The little prince of Tatar is not lightly injured, and it is even possible that he is dead, otherwise their army would not be so hasty, and even the most basic marching army column is gone!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted, "Is that really the case? Then we can't let go of the opportunity!

Although the defenders in the direction of Datong were defeated, their strength still existed, and with the vision of the Datong defenders, they would definitely not give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs.

Our goal is to muster all our forces to eat this lone Tatar army! ”

Wang Shouren calmed down, he looked at Zhu Houzhao with some surprise, and said: "Your Majesty, that's 50,000 Tatar wolves riding, I'm afraid they will jump off the wall in a hurry!" ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him strangely and asked, "Are you afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry?" ”

Wang Shouren laughed: "Naturally I'm not afraid, the minister dares to chase and kill tens of thousands of people with 3,000 people, why are you afraid that he has become a lone army of turtles in the urn?" ”

"Tell me about your method!" Zhu Houzhao also smiled, Wang Shouren, as a scholar, likes to crisscross the battlefield, so he is naturally a person with extraordinary courage.

Wang Shouren laughed very cruelly at this time, and he didn't look like he had read through the book of sages at all: "In the first battle of the capital, our army killed no less than 20,000 Tatar barbarians, so it is better to take these dogheads and pickle them with lime and put them along the road after recording their military exploits."

The Tatar army is a lone army, and when the morale of the army is weakened, we will disturb its left and right with doubtful soldiers, and destroy its spirit, until they are unable to fight again, and our army can pursue and kill them at will! ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Shouren in surprise, he also thought of using the corpses of Tatars to make a fuss, after all, unless this method of killing people and punishing the heart is not used, it will have a great effect.

But Wang Shouren, as a Confucian scholar who read poetry and books, would even think of such a cruel method, which really exceeded Zhu Houzhao's expectations.

Wang Shouren's use of soldiers is "weird" and arbitrary, and he is known as a "cunning soldier". The evaluation of later generations is really accurate and vicious!

However, Zhu Houzhao is more weird and vicious than Wang Shouren. After finalizing the plan, Zhu Houzhao specially instructed the people who were sent to build a Jingguan on the road through which the Tatars must retreat.

They must put enough gunpowder under the first Jingguan, and as long as there is a place where iron cucumbers can be hung within a mile, they must not be spared.

In other words, Zhu Houzhao just wants them to make a big bomb with a diameter of one mile!

After formulating the general direction, Zhu Houzhao handed over this matter to Wang Shouren to be responsible.

He recruited members of the special combat team who had not been used for a long time.

The little prince is very likely to be stationed in Juyong Pass at this time, so Zhu Houzhao urgently needs someone to investigate, and even he plans to kill him directly if the little prince is unable to resist.

Since Zhu Houzhao came from the south and saw the miserable situation of his own people being ravaged under the iron hooves of others, his mentality of protecting calves immediately attacked.

For Zhu Houzhao, it is said that it is his own people, and even his own **** is more expensive than other people's ingots.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao has already decided that he will never send soldiers to pile up when he can directly kill the enemy leader.

However, it is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. The Tatars, having lost thousands of people in the minefields, were completely frightened and completely mad by the endless corpses along the way.

This is Wang Shouren's ability, give him a hundred corpses, and he can also feel that the corpses are all over the field.

So I feel that after my family was killed all over the field, this Tatar army, who had become a lone army, went on a rampage like crazy, and rushed in the direction of Juyong Pass day and night, regardless of horsepower.

In this way, in addition to the Tatar barbarians who were harassed and killed by the Ming army along the way, they themselves also lost thousands of horses and soldiers because of the long journey, and by the time they arrived at Juyong Pass, this Tatar army had been dragged to death by the fat and thin.

And the little prince, alert, too alert.

Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao's special combat team to rush over, this cowardly bag asked the pro-army to escort him out of the customs overnight after he was a little sober, and went straight to the lair, and whether the tens of thousands of troops behind him survived was no longer in his consideration.

After these two news came back, Zhu Houzhao couldn't cry or laugh.

He kind of knows what it means to be a tree falling and scattering. Even the most powerful steppe tribes will be wiped out by the leader's dead ball.

With the foundation of this war, I am afraid that the Tatars will never have the courage to invade the Ming border within ten years!

By the end of the year, under Zhu Houzhao's supervision, the displaced people in the prefectures and counties under Zhili had returned to their homes, and every household was supported with rations for the wheat to ripen until the next year.

The final commendation meeting in the capital is held after the New Year's worship of ancestors.

Those who deserve to be rewarded, and those who are punished and punished.

Juyong guards will be demoted to Gansu to oversee the planting of trees. Although the Datong General Army was defeated, it was able to ensure that the main force was not lost, and it was still rewarded with a promotion to one level and the title of secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

Although Liu Jin was widely criticized by civilian officials, his performance in the defense of the capital, as well as his scheming to record the actions of hundreds of officials in the form of pictures and texts during the war, were favored by Zhu Houzhao, so although Liu Jin was the first eunuch of the inner court, Zhu Houzhao still gave him a reward that was enough to make the eyes of hundreds of officials blush-shade and his family!

As for Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao directly gave him the title of county boy very strongly, and let him pick the fief.

This is a decision made under a lot of pressure, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and those who have not made military merits are not allowed to be knighted. Even if he is the first assistant, he still has no chance of being knighted if he has not been on the battlefield.

On the other hand, if there is no official body, no matter how great the military exploits (of course, this is also impossible, Wang Shouren is lucky to meet this time. There is still no chance of being knighted.

However, Wang Shouren did not give Zhu Houzhao face, and after Zhu Houzhao strongly suppressed the opposition of the red-eyed ministers, Wang Shouren still rejected Zhu Houzhao's kindness.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not want to accept Long'en in a name that is not justified." Wang Shouren knew in his heart that even if he became a county man, as long as he did not participate in the imperial examination and failed to be named on the gold list, he would still be rejected by all civil officials.

This is a rather complex issue.

"The minister wants to participate in the imperial examination, and he will come to receive His Majesty's generous gift when the gold list is inscribed!"

Zhu Houzhao saw that his attitude was very resolute, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood what Wang Shouren meant, and was a little moved in his heart, why didn't Wang Shouren make such a decision in order to buffer the conflict between the emperor and the minister?

Titles in the Ming Dynasty have always been scarce, and it is almost every official's lifelong wish to get a title.

Zhu Houzhao acquiesced in Wang Shouren's decision, but he also decided not to wronged himself anymore.

"Zhu Shou, the chief military officer of the Beijing Division, has made great achievements in this battle, and he has given a powerful general to control the soldiers and horses along the way!

I am very happy today, before the annual leave, I will give all the ministers silver for the New Year, ten taels for the six grade officials, and five taels for the first grade! ”

After giving himself a date, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly put off a smoke bomb.

"Your Majesty, is Zhu Shou promoted too fast?" This is the question of the official book.

"Your Majesty, the household doesn't have so much silver!" This is the grievance of Tobe Shangshu.

But their words were soon drowned out in the angry rebuke of officials at all levels who lacked money and were red-eyed.

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "You don't need to pay for this silver, I pay out of my own pocket!" I will help you save the money you spent on buying the Tianzhu Divine Water."
