Chapter 524: Offering Prisoners
The news of the great victory at Xifengkou reached the Beijing Division, the officials and the people would be rejoicing, and during the Jiajing period, the Tartars also crossed the Great Wall defense line several times to invade the south, and the Beijing Division was also quite disturbed, and this time it was able to annihilate a large number of enemies in one fell swoop, which was really very happy.
Zhang Juzheng, the master of the Yuanfu Emperor who was in charge of the court, was extremely satisfied, because the general who made meritorious contributions this time was Qi Jiguang, who he had been promoting and reusing and had good blue eyes, and Geng Dingli, the governor of Jiliao, was also recommended by him before taking office.
Especially the latter, Geng Dingli has always had a clear hope, but he doesn't seem to know much about military affairs, let him be the governor of Jiliao, Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the ministry, and Zeng Xingwu, the secretary of the military department, have different opinions in private.
This time, Qi Jiguang's recital said that Geng Dingli "not only took appropriate measures, but also served as a military superintendent, and went to the battlefield in person, so that all the soldiers fought bravely and fought bloodily." Zhang Juzheng deliberately took the recital from the cabinet and read it again, and he was very proud.
Seeing that Qin Lin's name was mentioned at the end of the song, the emperor's first assistant smiled slightly, and said to himself: "There is really this monkey cub everywhere, but he doesn't take credit for it, and knows how to avoid suspicion." ”
"Father, which monkey cub do you say?" Zhang Zixuan smiled lightly and walked into the study from outside.
Seeing that it was his daughter, Zhang Juzheng's serious face was much more lively, and beckoned: "Xuan'er came over to see, Qin someone was stirring up with Wang Xiangqian in Jizhou, and he went to fight outside the Guan, he belonged to a monkey, so he didn't have a moment of peace!" ”
Zhang Zixuan read the folds again, and thought that Qin Lin's thief was also in the same place with the governor of Jiliao and the general soldiers of Jizhen, standing on the battlefield of thousands of troops and horses, she pursed her lips and chuckled.
Zhang Juzheng looked at his daughter's expression, sighed in his heart, and deliberately wrote on the paper while saying: "Geng Dingli has made such a great contribution, and he has the title of Shangshu of the Military Department and the Imperial History of the Right Capital, and he still serves as the governor of Jiliao; Qi Jiguang entered the Zuozhu Kingdom with merit, and Yin was a son; Qin Lin was promoted to the governor of the left, and he was awarded the special entry into Ronglu Da, and the ...... of the Zhuzhu country was honored."
"Father, don't!" Zhang Zixuan exclaimed, stretched out her slender jade hand to pull her father's arm holding the pen, Zhang Ju's forehand was crooked, and the words written were biased to the side.
Hey? Zhang Juzheng looked at his daughter with a smile, and his expression was not without ridicule.
"Daddy is real, but he actually lied to his daughter." Zhang Zixuan understood at once, pouted and shook her father's shoulder.
Qin Lin became the commander of the Jinyi Guard and the commander of the Beizhen Fusi at a young age, which is already an extremely special situation, if he is given another official and knight, I am afraid that he will soon be rewarded for his high achievements, so that he will become the target of some people prematurely before he is full-fledged, not to help him, but to harm him.
Putting down the pen, Zhang Juzheng sighed in his heart, and quickly cheered up again: "Qin Lin is wise and thoughtful, and he will judge the situation, within ten years, he will definitely be full-fledged, and when the time comes, I will make him the governor of the first rank of the dynasty, but you ...... daughter."
Zhang Juzheng has absolute confidence in himself, the Empress Dowager believes in him, Mr. Zhang, the emperor respects this emperor, the inner is in alliance with the celebrant Feng Bao, and the outer Jiangling Party occupies five of the six departments, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are all in control, and the power is overwhelming, no one can shake his position, not even the emperor himself!
And Zhang Juzheng is only over half a hundred years old, which is the peak age of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is confident that he will definitely be the first assistant of the emperor for another ten or even twenty years.
However, youth is fleeting, years are easy to age, and the daughter who is like a flower is nineteen years old this year, how many years do you have to wait for Qin Lin?
Zhang Zixuan listened to her father's words, but she didn't have a little sorrow, she inherited her father's ability to make good decisions, she was a woman among women, and she was by no means the kind of sentimental little woman, and she had already seen his mind from Qin Lin's eyes.
"Daddy, you just want to marry your daughter off so much?" Zhang Zixuan pushed her father's shoulders and pretended to be unhappy to withdraw Jiao. "Okay, okay." Zhang Juzheng is invincible in the court, but he almost responds to his only daughter at home, and pats Zhang Zixuan's hand with a smile, even if the matter is revealed.
"Qin Lin, Qin Lin, if it weren't for Xuan'er, I really want to make you the governor of Zuodu, see if you are still relevant?" Zhang Juzheng thought about Qin Lin's rogue and lazy appearance, and he couldn't help laughing.
The opinions of the emperor's first assistant and the imperial court almost always followed, and soon under the holy decree, Geng Dingli supervised the hard work and high achievements, and added the military department Shangshu and the right capital imperial history title, and still served as the governor of Jiliao; Qi Jiguang entered the Zuozhu Kingdom with merit, and Yin was a son; Qin Lin was able to investigate the military situation and rewarded two hundred taels of silver. ,
"Mr. Zhang is really, why favor one over the other?" Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun walked around the Yangxin Hall with his head down, and the second master of ceremonies accompanied him, and suddenly the emperor raised his head: "Two Zhang companions, tell me, does Mr. Zhang have an enmity with Qin Aiqing?" I remember that when Lian first heard Qin Aiqing's name, it was he who cracked the Jingwangfu case and made great contributions, but Mr. Zhang said that the young man was ambitious and should not be too accommodating, so he pushed the promotion by one level. ”
Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale looked at each other, and they both knew why the emperor could remember things for so long, he didn't remember Qin Lin at all, but remembered that day because he read "Se Bo Ruye" mispronounced a word, and was severely reprimanded by Mr. Zhang, so he even remembered the Qin Lin mentioned later.
Although in this deep palace, I am afraid that what I say will not be able to hide from Zhang Xiangye and Feng Sili, and the two Zhang looked at the Han general and the palace maid and eunuch who were standing far away, and walked closer to the emperor.
"Your Majesty" Zhang Whale added fuel and vinegar: "Qin Lin and the Prime Minister are very incompatible, it is said that Mr. Zhang often reprimands him, for Qin someone has bad intentions, I heard that the Xiang Ye also scolded him for not being honest." ”
Zhang Cheng glanced at his companion and hurriedly defended Qin Lin: "Emperor Mingjian, how can Qin Lin be shameless?" I'm afraid it's a false rumor, the emperor shouldn't believe this kind of groundless rumor. ”
"Mr. Zhang scolded Qin Aiqing shamelessly?" When Zhu Yijun heard this, he laughed and thought thoughtfully.
Qin Lin soon learned what was happening in the palace, and after he returned to Jingshi, Zhang Xiaoyang came to visit and sued Zhang Whale with added fuel and vinegar.
Qin Lin didn't have time to pay attention to these idle things, he had a lot of things, in addition to being intimate with Xu Xinyi and Qingdai, Beizhen Fusi also had official business, in addition, what is the connection between Queen Wang and Wenxiangmen, which is also the key work of his secret visit.
The investigation learned that Queen Wang's family did not deny that she was related to Wang Sen, the owner of Wenxiangmen, and that Queen Wang's maiden family even offered Maitreya Buddha, but it is unknown to what extent she was involved.
The matter involves the secrets of the Heavenly Family, Qin Lin will never act rashly, secretly observe, wait for the opportunity, and choose the most beneficial opportunity for himself......
Three days later, a grand ceremony was held to present the prisoners.
The unkempt Mongolian soldiers were escorted by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, entered the Beijing division from the Yongding Gate in the south, and walked all the way to the Wumen Gate along the Zhengyang Rank.
These Mongolian soldiers were all covered in blood, and their appearance was fierce and terrifying, and they knew at a glance that they were proud soldiers and fierce generals on the grassland.
The common people stood on both sides of the road and watched, and there was a small skeleton held by a mother, and when they saw these Mongolian soldiers fierce and vicious, they immediately cried
"Don't cry, look, they're all tied up, it's Grandpa Qi who led the troops to catch these bad guys!" The young woman pointed forward with her hand, isn't it, Qi Jiguang and Geng Dingli rode away together, and many officers and soldiers beat gongs and drums and returned triumphantly!
Qi Jiguang was extremely humble, as a military general and subordinate, he reined in the horse and let Geng Dingli take a horse's head.
The emperor's throne was set up on the tower of Wumen City, and Zhu Yijun sat in it, looking down at the Wumen Square below. On either side of him stood high-ranking generals with knighthoods, such as Xu Wenbi, Duke of Dingguo, and Zhu Yingzhen, Duke of Chengguo, and many Han generals stood below.
Under the watchful eyes of a large number of officials in the square, the captives were led in, shackled hands and feet, a red cloth with a round hole passed through the head, covering the chest and back, and was shouted to kneel before the noon gate. At this time, Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stepped forward, stood still, and then read aloud the heinous crimes of each captive, of course, only for the high-ranking Mongolian officers above the thousand households, otherwise this time there were nearly 30,000 captives, and I am afraid it would take several days to finish reading the names.
After reading Bi Yanqing, he announced that these sinners were unforgivable, and asked the emperor to approve the escort to Cao in the city to behead them in accordance with the law.
Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun was elated at this time, and the young emperor liked this glory very much, and he solemnly shouted: "Take it!" ”
The Son of Heaven's Chrysostom Yuyan was conveyed by the two princes of Xu Wenbi and Zhu Yingyi nearby, followed by Liu Shouyou and other military generals with the title of governor, and the two passed on four people, and then eight people, sixteen people,
Thirty-two phases shouted in unison, and finally the three hundred and twenty Han generals shouted in unison: "Take it!" The sonic boom on the roof tiles moved all the onlookers.
Those Mongolian warriors were originally lawless, but at this time they were also frightened, and when they saw that the Jinyi guards were going to drag them to death, they collapsed on the ground one by one, and they would lose the courage of plundering the border army and knocking on the pass.
Qin Lin could have been in charge of commanding the killing of the head, but he had little interest in killing people, and gave up this glorious and arduous task to Hong Yangshan.
Commander Hong was majestic at this time, shook off his official authority, arrested all those Mongolian thousands and thousands of households, and escorted them to the execution ground like chickens to click and stab. The rest of the ordinary Mongolian soldiers saw the majesty of the Tianlu Dynasty, and they were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and their hearts were extremely afraid.
Xu Xinyi and Qin Lin also stood on the side to watch the excitement, and when she saw this situation, she flattened her mouth: "Cut, Qin Lin, aren't you blowing so majestic, why do you let Hong Yangshan be in the limelight?" Take a look, look at how majestic people are, they are about to catch up with Qi Shuai and Mr. Geng Er! ”
Qin Lin laughed, not at all embarrassed, nor explained.
But Asha was not convinced, and said for him: "Sister Xu is biased when she says this, you must know that this time even Qi Shuai and Governor Geng said that persuasion is Uncle Qin's greatest, but he himself is humble and gives credit to those two!" "Really? Xu Xinyi's apricot pit eyes widened, and he kissed Qin Lin on the face while no one was paying attention.
Very sweet.
