Chapter 707: Xuanfu Jingguan
On both sides of the river, there were people everywhere, and after the Datong border army was absorbed, the first task it got was to clean up the battlefield. The soldiers of the Guards who died in battle, and their own comrades recovered their bodies.
But the corpse of the Tartar can't be left like that, it's not that Xie Hong has a humanitarian spirit, it's just that so many corpses are thrown in the wild, which is a hidden danger in itself, and it's okay to be winter now, but in the spring, it will easily cause a plague or something, so it's better to find a way to deal with it.
What's more, although Zhengde does not plan to use the head of the tartar to repay the merits, and Xie Hong is not interested in the heads of the dead, however, these heads can still be used for some other purposes, that is, to build the Beijing view, that is, to stack the heads and show the world their military exploits, and by the way, to deter the enemy, and even the location Xie Hong has thought about it.
Yehuling, where the little prince came from, and according to the military report of the Xuanfu, the Tatar Ministry is now also assembling in Xinghe, obviously planning to be the second echelon, waiting for the king's elite soldiers to open the way.
However, their expectations can only be disappointed, and there will never be a chance to realize it again, and when the Jingguan is completed, they find that their Han King and the king's tent elite soldiers have become pagodas, and the expressions on their faces must be wonderful, right? Xie Hong thought unkindly.
"Master Hou, the head level has basically been counted, and there are ...... in total" Zhang Hui's face was full of awe.
The numbers show that the problem is always the most accurate, not counting those who died on the road after the pursuit, more than 40,000 heads were counted on the battlefield alone, plus 20,000 on the pursuit road, the battle of Yingzhou, the number of beheadings of the guards was actually about the same as their own number. The awe in Zhang Hui's heart was beyond measure.
"Well, it doesn't matter how much he has," Xie Hong waved his hand, he was not interested in this number, as long as he knew that the Tartars had suffered heavy losses, it was enough, "Jin Guerrilla, Yang Guerrilla, I'm really sorry, you guys came all the way over, and now I have to let you go back......"
"Lord Hou is too polite, the last general and others were originally going to come to help in the war, but they didn't expect the heavenly soldiers to march so fast and so mighty, they have already won a big victory, and the matter started because of the Xuanfu, but the labor holy driving expedition, the last general and others are really ashamed!" Jin Ying hurriedly said politely, and in the end, he also glared at Zhang Hui viciously.
Shunsheng's defeat, Tai Ban was also caused by Datong's side, although Wang Xun is the executor, there are many black hands behind the scenes, but Zhang Hui and other inactive people are also one of the accomplices, if they really have the heart, even if they send a letter, they can avoid that tragedy.
Therefore, even if Xie Hong did not pursue the generals of Datong other than Wang Xun in order to appease people's hearts, Jin Ying still hated it.
Seeing Jin Ying's expression in his eyes, Xie Hong didn't care, but just lightly ordered: "Since there are still a large number of Tartars gathered in Xinghe, the guards of Xuanfu must be strengthened, and 20,000 troops will be divided from Datong, led by the two and Deputy General Zhang, to Yehuling to strengthen the garrison, and by the way, bring these heads over, and build a Jingguan in the local area to pay tribute to the heroic soul of Shunshengchuan." ”
"Master Hou...... The last will obey! Jin Ying was very excited, he had been in Xuanfu since the Hongzhi period, and he had experienced the turmoil in the first year of Zhengde, so he knew that Zhengde didn't care much about things like the first rank.
However, this time the victory can be called a shock to the ancient and modern, with his understanding of Zhengde from the rumors, he also thought that the other party would build the Beijing view in the capital or Datong to show the merits of the war, but the rumors have been saying that the emperor is a good joy. But now it seems that the emperor only cares about the process, not the result, and is not interested in paying attention to what others say.
"Master Hou, then the ......"
After the Guards pursued into the territory of Datong, Shunsheng Dongcheng was used as a transit station, Lu Ming, the magistrate of the county, had good coordination ability and was an indisputable one, and Zuo Qintong led the army and handled logistics problems with ease, so the two were a good pair.
However, although Lu Ming was very satisfied with this errand, Zuo Qin was a little unwilling. He wanted to go into battle to fight, and wanted to avenge his comrades who died, but he didn't expect to come over with the latest batch of supplies, but he didn't even catch up with the tail of the big war, not to mention the grievances in his heart.
Now send the head back to Xuanfu, on the way to pay tribute to the comrades who died, and then he can breathe a sigh of relief in Yehuling, but Xie Hong skipped him again, and now he can't hold it anymore.
"General Zuo doesn't need to worry, Ben Hou has another task to hand over to you, well, this matter belongs to you, hehe." Xie Hong smiled and nodded to the second general of Xuanfu, then stared slightly, and then glanced at Zhang Hui again, and then left with Zuo Qin, who was confused.
"The best mission for Brother Left? Could it be that Hou Ye is about to go out of the fortress to pursue the remnants of the enemy? Zuo Qin himself was confused, and Yang Yu and the others were also full of suspicion.
Now the most likely war is Xuanfu, it is said that after receiving the news, the Tartars of Xinghe must be frightened, but the Tartars are the Tartars, their minds are similar to the beasts, normal people are difficult to estimate, maybe they were aroused to the death, and they planned to take revenge.
"Brother Yang's speculation is not unreasonable, but, in my opinion, elder brother, Lord Hou is probably going to Datong, this tragedy, the culprit is not so much Tartar or Wang Xun, but those civil officials......" Zhang Hui was a little wooden, but he had a lot of thoughts, and he quickly understood the meaning of Xie Hong's glance.
"It's not my brother I shirk my responsibility, brothers, before I went to Shunshengchuan, even until I took a photo with the Tartars, I thought there would be a bloody battle, who knew that Wang Xun suddenly retreated, I ...... I'm helpless, alas. ”
Zhang Hui's tone was sad, he was not pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, at that time, even if he insisted on not retreating, the military spirit had already been shaken, his subordinates were not guards, and there was no surname whose morale only rose but did not fall, so it was useless for him not to retreat.
"Afterwards, we also questioned Wang Xun, but he showed Governor Cui's handwriting, saying that there was a warning signal for killing the tiger, and Datong was in danger...... Brothers, for so many years, the nine sides are all in charge of the Wenchen, even if we know that there is a trap, as long as the adults give the order, don't we warriors have to jump in? ”
He smiled miserably: "So, even if I know that Wang Xun's actions are different, I can only endure it, brother, until the holy driver comes in person, and then I will see the clouds." I can't live with all of you in Xuanfu, and I can't live with General Zhang and the soldiers who died in Shunshengchuan, when this crisis passes, and after seeing those damned national beetles suffer retribution, I will unload my armor and return to the field, and slightly compensate for the guilt in my heart. ”
"Brother Zhang is serious, it's the younger brother who is too entangled, you don't have to go to your heart." Jin Ying is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted surname, and he also empathizes with what Zhang Hui said, and he is a little embarrassed when he hears the other party say this.
"Otherwise," Zhang Hui waved his hand and said: "Actually, the era of our veterans has passed, and the future belongs to young people, the emperor is weak and weak, the Hou Ye is the same age as him, and the guards are all like this, and the tactics they use are very novel, which is not something that we old guys can imagine." ”
"Hehe," he smiled, and said: "With the means of the Hou Ye, the future changes will definitely be faster and faster, brother, it is difficult for me to adapt, if I want to serve the country, it is better to send my children to the Guards." Brother, I've heard that in this war, the most dazzling Modao array is mainly composed of the children of Xuanfu, and you have shown your face greatly! ”
When he spoke, there was no loneliness in his expression, but envy was overflowing, and with his simple face, it seemed very sincere.
"What Brother Zhang said is also true, the younger brother has a nephew, who is the captain of the Guards, when the fire screen is coming, and the Mo Dao soldiers are counterattacking, he is by the side of the holy driver, and he saw the emperor wielding a knife to kill the enemy." Jin Ying's mind was shallow, and his attention was immediately diverted, but he mentioned to everyone the proud thing he had just knew.
"The emperor really went into battle? Personally cut off the army? No wonder the Guards won so neatly, the emperor personally wielded the sword, who could not fight hard? ”
"If you are not the founding monarch, but you personally raise a knife to kill the enemy, our Ming Dynasty is also the first since the beginning of the world, right?"
"Of course, our Ming Son of Heaven does not have a bad seed, even when Emperor Yingzong went to Tumubao, he also went to fulfill the promise he made to Emperor Renzong when he was a child, he wanted to go into battle to kill the captives in person, but he was killed by those villains, which is ......"
"Most of the things in the world are ruined in the hands of those villains, but they are also grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't jump for a few days.
"Yes, we have such a brave son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhongxing can be expected, haha."
Proud of their own children, proud of the Ming Dynasty, and proud of the Great Tomorrow, the atmosphere among the generals quickly became harmonious, and the discussion was in full swing, attracting the attention of many soldiers.
Subsequently, the title of Emperor Wu also spread far and wide, and together with Zhengde's personal record of raising a knife and beheading the tenth level, it quickly spread to the whole army and spread to the people.
People talk about Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty with relish, so that Zhengde is still in power, and he has a title similar to a nickname, speaking of which, this is also a record, which can be called the first of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the person concerned will not care, since he ascended the throne, he has broken countless records, where would he care about this little thing?
"Big brother, next, should we go to Datong? Or let's go to Jiangnan, isn't Uncle Ning going to rebel? I'm just going to take him down. Wang Xun has the heart of rebellion, but he has no power to rebel, and the civil strife is eliminated invisibly, which makes Xie Hong very pleased, but it makes Zhengde even more disappointed.
Fortunately, there is still hope for him, and there are still many scholars in Datong, and when they are dying, they may resist stubbornly; Jiangnan is even more lively, with the support of the Shi Party, King Ning rebelled, it was a big scene! When I think of this, Zhengde is very itchy.
"Jiangnan?" Xie Hong raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "No need, Brother Bo'an has already finished King Ning, and there is no hurry to go to Datong, so let's respond to the state first." ”
"Huh...... However, Yingzhou is very boring. As soon as he heard that he was going to trim it, Zhengde immediately wilted.
"Not necessarily, last time we went to the wooden tower, we patronized the wish and sang, and we haven't entered the tower to play, well, and ah, didn't you say that the egg cake was delicious last time? Just go eat again, and ......" Xie Hong chattered endlessly.
