Chapter 47: Li Chunye's Worries
"On the 21st day of July in the fifth year of the Great Ming Dynasty, under the command of Qin Yongnian, the Jingshi Fenwu Battalion annihilated 1,983 Japanese soldiers in the east of Linzi County and the west of Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong. The Fenwu battalion suffered 10 casualties and 18 soldiers were wounded. The commander Qin Yongnian led the Fenwu battalion to temporarily live in the Linzi County military camp, and commanded the Tongzhi Zhu Youzhen to return to Beijing to resume his life. When Li Chunye, the secretary of the military department, saw this military report, he was so surprised that his jaw dropped.
Qin Yongnian is a qualified soldier, he only has the Fenwu battalion in his heart, and does not participate in the political factions of the upper echelons. But if he were to wipe out all the pirates at the cost of ten people, he shouldn't have the ability to do so.
Could it be Zhu Youzhen? Li Chunye admired Zhu Youzhen's training and exercises in the Fenwu Camp very much, and since he saw Zhu Youzhen's exercises in the Fen Camp, he has always paid close attention to Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen, the general of the martial arts strategy, was recommended by him to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Li Chunye didn't care about lunch, so he took this military report and immediately rushed to the Qianqing Palace.
"This is a completely asymmetrical war, the Japanese are all annihilated, and the Fenwu battalion only has 28 dead and wounded." Zhu Youxiao, who usually only cares about the production of woodwork, is rarely very excited today, "Since the Fenwu Battalion can annihilate the Japanese with the strength of one battalion, what are the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong for?" How can you let the Japanese invade Linzi? From the map on the wall, Zhu Youxiao saw the location of the battlefield, and couldn't help but be furious, could it be that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Shandong were not as strong as the Fenwu Battalion?
"Your Majesty, although there are only two thousand Japanese robbers, they are not afraid of death, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, but I am afraid that there is another hidden secret." Li Chunye euphemistically expressed his doubts, the content of the military report was too brief, and he did not know the specific situation.
With the number of people in the Fenwu battalion, it would be good to be able to defeat the Japanese Kou, but a complete victory seems unlikely.
At the beginning, he encouraged Wei Zhongxian and recommended the Fenwu Battalion to fight, in order to give the Fenwu Battalion a chance to train, and by the way, to see if Zhu Youzhen's training was effective on the battlefield.
He still had a backhand at that time, and if the Fenwu battalion could not defeat the Japanese invaders, he would transfer the Siyong battalion to Shandong, preparing to take advantage of the huge numerical advantage to consume the Japanese invaders. Now, he doesn't have the cards he has in his back hand.
"What does Aiqing mean?" Even Li Chunye didn't understand, and Zhu Youxiao, who rarely cared about government affairs, certainly didn't understand.
"There are only results in the military report, and the details will be understood when His Royal Highness King Xin returns to Beijing." Li Chunye wanted to ask Zhu Youzhen directly, but Zhu Youzhen had not returned to Beijing yet, and the military report was 600 miles urgent, of course, faster than Zhu Youzhen.
He hoped that it was the Fenwu Battalion that was unexpectedly strong, not that Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen had committed the common vices of the Ming army. If the two of them lied about the military situation, even if he admired Zhu Youzhen very much, even if Zhu Youzhen was the king of letters, he would expose them to the emperor. Behind Li Chunye is Wei Zhongxian, in the court, except for the Donglin Party, he doesn't pay attention to anyone.
"Does Aiqing think that Qin Yongnian lied about the military situation?" Although Zhu Youxiao is obsessed with woodwork, he is not a fool, Li Chunye obviously has something to say, if it is so obvious, he doesn't understand, and he is not worthy of being an excellent carpenter.
"With His Royal Highness King Xin here, Qin Yongnian shouldn't be so bold." Li Chunye knew that the Ming army had a tradition of killing the good and risking their merits, but if the Japanese were not eliminated, there would still be Japanese troubles reported in Shandong, and no one could hide it. Moreover, Qin Yongnian led a large army to garrison Shandong and let Zhu Youzhen return to Beijing, which shows that he has no shame in his heart.
Li Chunye was worried that the number of Japanese was not so large, and Shandong Wenwu exaggerated the number of Japanese in order to shirk their responsibilities, and the Fenwu Battalion acquiesced in the number of Japanese in order to invite merit.
Li Chunye estimated that if the number of Japanese robbers was exaggerated, it would probably be Zhu Youzhen's head, so he pushed the matter to Zhu Youzhen first.
"Then Aiqing thinks that the combat effectiveness of the Fenwu Battalion is too strong?" The Ming army hasn't won a big victory for a long time, and it's not easy to have a chance to be happy, why is this Li Chunye so out of tune?
"The old minister thinks that if the Fenwu Battalion is strong in combat, I am afraid it will have something to do with His Royal Highness King Xin." Li Chunye is also not sure, Zhu Youzhen has no record of going on the expedition, and the record of the Fenwu Battalion is too amazing, it is really difficult to judge. But he believes that whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, it cannot be wrong if it has something to do with Zhu Youzhen.
The so-called success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. If it is a meritorious service, it should be Zhu Youzhen's sin, and if it is really the combat effectiveness of the Fenwu Battalion against the sky, it should also be Zhu Youzhen's credit.
Li Chunye felt that he had lived such a long time, and for the first time, he couldn't see through a teenager, what kind of person is this Zhu Youzhen?
"King Shin?" Zhu Youxiao was confused by Li Chunye.
"I'm afraid that only His Royal Highness the King of Faith can give an answer." No matter how much he values Zhu Youzhen, if Zhu Youzhen is also a person who takes credit, then it is not worth defending him everywhere. It is not terrible to fail when encountering the Japanese on the battlefield, but it is terrible to delay the opportunity on the battlefield because of the problem of responsibility.
"Then pass the decree, His Royal Highness King Xin will return to Jingshi, and he will come to see me immediately." couldn't get an answer, Zhu Youxiao's excitement dropped by more than half, so he had to wave off Li Chunye and continue to discuss his wooden tools with Lu Ban.
…………
From Linzi to Jingshi, it is a fast horse, and it also takes four days. Zhu Youzhen was relaxed at this time, so he was not in a hurry. It wasn't until the morning of the seventh half day that he returned to the palace.
The successive exertions made him look very tired. But when he returned to the Qingong Palace, he still felt very cordial, and when he got home, he could finally rest.
"Your Highness is back." Xu Yingyuan heard the sound of horses' hooves and hurriedly greeted him, he forgot to lead the horse for Zhu Youzhen, so he looked at Zhu Youzhen's face blankly.
"Well, Ying Yuan, quickly let Wan'er prepare hot water, I want to take a bath." Along the way, I was in a hurry, and I was sweating, so how pleasant it would be to take a hot bath, change into clean and refreshing clothes, and take a nap on a recliner.
"Your Highness, let's wash your face first! Someone from the palace has come and has been waiting for a long time. The emperor wants to summon His Highness. As soon as Zhu Youzhen entered the house, Wan'er came out in response, took out a basin of water, and put it on the small table in front of her.
"Oh." Zhu Youzhen didn't care, it is estimated that when the imperial brother saw the military report of the Fenwu Battalion, his face was impatient to wait, or how to let the eunuch sit and wait in the Qingong Palace.
"Your Highness." Xu Yingyuan observed left and right, and saw that there was only himself in the hall, Zhu Youzhen and Wan'er, "Did more than a thousand people really die?" ”
"yes, can't you believe the military report?" Zhu Youzhen asked Wan'er to wipe her face while answering Xu Yingyuan's question, after all, it was the first time to lead troops to fight, although seven days had passed, he still couldn't suppress his excitement.
Suddenly, he felt that it was wrong, if Wan'er asked herself, she was just curious, and she didn't have any deep meaning, Xu Yingyuan asked such a question, it would be different.
If he was just suspicious, he wouldn't ask such a question as soon as he returned home, such a question obviously distrusted him a little, thinking that the people in the palace had been waiting for him for a long time, Zhu Youzhen was shocked: "Ying Yuan? ”
Xu Yingyuan was very satisfied with Zhu Youzhen's reaction, and when Zhu Youzhen began to answer, he was very casual and did not have any disguise, which means that the results in the military report are true. Zhu Youzhen later obviously realized that there was something wrong with his problem, which showed that Zhu Youzhen was very vigilant, and he had only been seen for a few days, and Zhu Youzhen was much more mature.
Since the military report is true, there is nothing to worry about.
