Chapter 0434 - Unwanted Facts
There is still a month to go before the New Year.
The situation in the imperial capital this year is much calmer than last year.
The same is true of the major families in the imperial capital.
This time last year. , the major families basically have two major topics.
First, Jia Min led the government corps in Bukui and achieved a great victory in South Wendula. The imperial court prepared to use troops against North Ventura.
This made those big families, especially those big families with the Fu Corps, also see the hope of earning military merits and prepare to participate in the war.
The desire to participate in the war was realized, but the hope of earning military merit was completely disappointed.
With the complete defeat of the 150,000-strong army, the soldiers of each family also suffered heavy losses. Except for some who escaped by luck, the vast majority of the children of the logarithmic family were either killed in battle or missing.
The money that was originally invested in military training was also wasted.
The only exception is the Bukui Mansion Corps, which is composed of the Jia family, the Shi family, the Feng family, the Chen family, and the Wei family.
Not only did he win a great victory in South Windula last year, but this year he also defeated the Tatars at Erdaojiang and successfully stopped the Tatars from moving south.
Although people were reluctant to talk about it openly because of the sensitive figure Jia Min involved in this battle, it was inevitable to talk about it in private.
With the news that the crown prince and the princess were rescued one after another, the topic of the Bukui Mansion Corps was once again brought up.
That sensitive person, Jia Min, was inevitably mentioned.
Looking at the brilliant achievements of the Bukui Mansion Corps, and then looking at the experience of his own family Corps, it is inevitable that there will be many sighs and sighs.
In a state of sorrow, the four families of Zhenguogong, Liguogong, Qi Guogong and Zhiguo finally ushered in good news.
The sons of several of their families, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, and Ma Shangde, were saved.
In addition to being happy, there are also some regrets. The person who saved them turned out to be the Bukui Provincial Corps.
These families turned out to be quite dirty with the Jia family, and today's result made them a little embarrassed.
Still, several can't help but express themselves.
So several families organized together, carried gifts, and visited the Jia family, the Shi family, the Feng family, the Chen family and the Wei family to express their gratitude.
These families are polite, but they can't help but be a little proud in their hearts.
This is especially true of Rongguo Mansion.
At the beginning, those companies calculated them in the bus and carriage business, although they later failed, but the Niu family and other companies have not formally apologized.
This time, several families said very sincerely, calling the old lady, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and others, and they were very useful in their hearts.
Another hot topic at this time last year was the annual meeting of the major families to emulate Jiafu. Especially the award for the best loser, even the royal family followed suit.
However, at this time of the year, no one has brought up the topic again, and none of them have held a similar event.
The reason is also very simple.
First, due to the defeat of the various government corps, there was neither the mood nor the reason to hold such an event.
The second is that Jia Min, the founder of this idea, is still a sensitive person. Even the royal family, which was held in full swing last year, did not publicize this matter, and other families naturally did not dare to come forward.
The reason why Jia Min became a sensitive figure was naturally because he resolutely opposed the use of troops against North Windura.
Later facts proved him right. However, this did not change his sensitive nature. On the contrary, with the record of the Bukui Mansion Corps in Erdaojiang and the record of rescuing the prince and princess that he single-handedly created, this sensitivity has become even more sensitive.
There are some insider stories that the common people do not know. These big families who are sensitive to information are clear.
Therefore, in the current imperial capital, Jia Min is not only a sensitive person, but also an embarrassing figure for many people.
It seemed that this sensitivity was not exciting enough, and an even more shocking news came out from Bukui.
Under the auspices of Her Royal Highness Princess Chang'an and Prince Teng, the prince of Wendura affairs, the imperial court succeeded in recovering southern Wendula.
The invincible Tatars had been defeated and obediently retreated to Northern Ventura.
After the 150,000-strong army was defeated by the Tatars and fled, Wang Ziteng's capital camp of 7,500 men defeated 4,000 Tatars.
The army of 6,000 people created by Jia Min defeated 14,000 Tatars.
Such a brilliant record was in stark contrast to the defeat of the 150,000 army of the Spring Imperial Court.
Although it is said that His Royal Highness Chang'an organized and carried out this battle, those who have a little insight understand that His Royal Highness Chang'an has no soldiers and horses, and those who participate in the battle are all Jingying and Bukuifu Corps.
Among them, although the Bukui Corps has a small number of people, it is the main force in this battle.
As long as the Bukui Mansion Corps is mentioned, it is inseparable from Jia Min's shadow.
Although Jia Min did not appear in the imperial capital and did not have any official position, these achievements seem to remind people again and again of the mistake of using troops against North Wendula.
The recovery of Southern Windula was of great significance to the imperial court.
First of all, it restored the dignity of the imperial court and proved the power and control of the imperial court.
Secondly, it was a powerful deterrent to some vassal states and some surrounding forces that were ready to move, so that they did not dare to act rashly and disrespectfully to the imperial court.
An obvious sign is that the Tatar mission, which had been negotiating with the imperial court in the imperial capital and had a tough attitude, quietly set off and left the imperial capital the day after receiving the news.
In addition, the battle completely removed the Tatar threat to the Northeast. There was no need to worry about the Tatars going south. The situation in the northeast has stabilized.
This tremendous result caused bursts of cheers among the people. Officially, it was like a pool of stagnant water, and there was no violent reaction. It's as if it didn't happen at all.
The only thing people are looking forward to is waiting for His Royal Highness Chang'an to return to the imperial capital and draw an end to the entire North Wendura War.
Previously, when I heard the news of the recovery of South Ventula, some people once thought that Jia Min would be promoted because of this, or at least reinstated.
However, after a while, there was no movement. At this time, people realized that things were not so simple.
Whether it is to save the crown prince, to rescue the princess, or to recover South Windura, if it is done by anyone else, it is a thing worth writing about and celebrating.
However, it is not a happy thing that these great things have been accomplished by the Bukui Corps.
This is a fact that many people, including the emperor, are unwilling to accept.
There are many reasons, but the most fundamental reason is that Jia Min, who created the Bukui Fu Corps, was the one who opposed the use of troops against Undula in the first place.
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Princess Chang'an returned to the imperial capital under the escort of a hundred people sent by Wang Ziteng.
The Emperor of Yuanheng was very happy and personally held a grand welcoming ceremony in front of the noon gate to welcome Chang'an back with honor. More than 300 people, including civil and military officials, princes and nobles, attended the welcoming ceremony.
At the welcoming ceremony, the emperor of Yuanheng praised Princess Chang'an for leading the troops to recover southern Wendula in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. Hundreds of civil and military officials also echoed and praised His Royal Highness Chang'an's Tao Wu strategy. Make immortal contributions.
At the welcoming ceremony, the emperor issued a holy decree. Reward Chang'an with one hundred taels of gold.
Posthumously presented Li Chengbin as a general, and rewarded his family with 2,000 taels of silver. Posthumously presented Lixia, Lichun, and Lidong as the five concubines, and rewarded the family with 1,000 taels of silver.
General Sun, who has been guarding the prince, was promoted from a general to a general because of his meritorious service in guarding the prince.
Wang Ziteng made meritorious contributions to Wendura affairs, and was awarded the title of Shangshu, and was promoted from the second rank to the first grade. A reward of 1,000 taels of silver.
The assertion that some people thought that the generals of the Bukui Corps would be rewarded has not been proven.
The next day, Princess Chang'an handed over the materials about the vacancies and moldy military rations that she and Lichun had collected along the way about the battle of North Wendura to Yuanheng Tianzi, who was left by Yuanheng Tianzi without sending them.
The commander-in-chief, Prince Chincha of Wendura Affairs, asked for the promotion of Feng Ziying, the chief of staff of the Bukui Provincial Corps, to be promoted to the position of Bukui guerrilla, and the meritorious military attachés of the Bukui Provincial Corps were promoted to one level.
Yuanheng Tianzi was silent for a long time after reading it, and the excerpt was left in the middle and not sent.
Subsequently, the emperor decreed that General He Shen, who was stationed in Bukui in Beijing, temporarily acted as the Yamen of Bukui.
As for the official positions of Feng Ziying and others, because the emperor did not have a clear will, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Lu Daxue and others, decided to keep their original positions for the time being.
In the early morning of the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Xiao Daozhong, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, played. In view of the fact that the major family corps did not have any combat achievements and suffered heavy losses in the battle of North Vendura, and now most of them exist in name only, they request that all the government corps be abolished.
This motion was seconded by Luo Qihua, a scholar of the Military Machinery University, Li Yuan, the secretary of the military department, and Wan Xintang, the secretary of the household department.
This motion was shelved by the emperor and left for later discussion.
Liu Changfeng, the commander of the Nine Gates, asked for the investigation of the crime of escaping from the battle of North Wendula, including the Ningguta general Han Tiankui and the Goryeo general.
This proposal was shelved by the emperor.
Yin Xiu Tonggui of Shuntian Prefecture was forwarded to the litigation situation in some places in the northeast, and some people revealed that during the battle of North Windura, there were unscrupulous grain merchants who sold moldy grain to the army.
Yuanheng Tianzi's oral order was transferred back to the local area for verification and disposal.
This was the last early dynasty of the Wuyin year. The other ministers had something to do as well. But seeing that the emperor either shelved or turned back to his hometown to dispose of, he felt that he would not have any results if he played, so he was discouraged and stopped playing.
The last early dynasty of the Wuyin year ended hastily. Then there is the Chinese New Year, and the yamen is about to close, and everything will be postponed until the new year.
In the year of Wuyin, the top priority for the imperial court was the battle of Northern Ventula.
It began with a vigorous start of the war in the first month of the year and ended with the recovery of Southern Windula in late November.
Aside from it on the surface, in private, there are still many ministers talking about it.
Those who advocated going to war, those who fled on the battlefield, those who ate empty salaries, those who were greedy for military salaries, and those who sold moldy military rations, these should not be investigated.
Luo Qihua, Li Yuan, Wan Xintang, Han Tiankui and others all served as officials as usual, and General Sun did nothing and was promoted to general.
He opposed the war and made great contributions to the rescue of the crown prince and princess, intercepted the Tatars at Erdaojiang at the critical moment, prevented the Tatars from moving south, and recovered the soldiers of Jamin and Bukui in South Windura, and none of them were rewarded.
Not only will General He take over the power of Bukui, but the government corps may also face retrenchment.
Those who have meritorious service may be punished if they are not rewarded. Those who have transgressed are not punished, but are rewarded.
Such a thing is also a spectacle.
