When the good news came, everyone began to doubt the authenticity of this good news, indeed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two good news of the past few days were all against the thieves, the thieves were all old and weak, and the defeat of the officers and troops was understandable, but the Mongols were no better than those thieves.

Defeated 3,000 cavalry with 1,000 foot soldiers, and cut more than 1,800 ranks, which is too exaggerated...

Therefore, some ministers kept coming out and asking questions, and Chongzhen also had questions in his heart after hearing this, did Xiao Yi dare to bully the king?

Even if Xiao Yi bullied the king, Han Shimeng, the chief military officer of Datong, and Cai Jiahe, the governor of Datong, are all the same party?

Although the Mongols' combat strength is not as good as that of the Eastern Prisoners, they are also known for their notoriety, and they are also defeated and won less against the Mongols.

Although Chongzhen didn't believe in the ministers' speculation, he had to take measures, so in the next half a month, a large number of officials from the military department and Jinyiwei came and went to the three towns of Datong and the Beijing Division, and it was verified afterwards that it was true.

The literati in the teahouse spat at the mouth and told how the Yong'an Army in Datong was, which was their strength, and rumors about the Yong'an Army in the Beijing Division spread far and wide.

In their words, that duel was simply earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, Xiao Yi was said to be the reincarnation of Qi Shaobao, and he was scared to see Xiao Yi's Mongolian Tartars and thieves......

For this reason, there have been many officials and officials who have impeached Xiao Yi to confuse the people, and Chongzhen even discussed this matter with the Japanese and the DPRK.

However, on January 20, a large number of Mongolian Tatar heads arrived in Beijing under the protection of heavy troops, and there was no longer any doubt.

On the day when the first class arrived in Beijing, Chongzhen ordered the Mongolian slaves and thieves to be stacked in the West Market to show our great prestige.

The West Market is crowded with people every day, and the onlookers of the Beijing Division will be surrounded by the streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses nearby, and some people queue up from morning to night, and there are even merchants who rush to Beijing from other places, all the way just to witness such a spectacle.

On February 1st, in the Dezheng Palace, Chongzhen looked at the music from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses: "Yong'an Army, Pavilion Elder, have you ever heard of this Yong'an Army?" ”

Cheng Ji, the head of the cabinet who was standing respectfully on the side, heard Chongzhen's words and said: "Back to the saint, the minister has never heard of it, but according to Li Zhan, the squire who returned from Datong from the Ministry of War, it seems that the soldiers and civilians of Datong East Road spontaneously called Xiao Yi's subordinates Yong'an Army. ”

Chongzhen got up, put his hands behind his back, walked slowly in the Dezheng Palace, and thought carefully: "Yong'an Army, Yong'an Army, forever peaceful... Ge Lao, this is a good name, which also shows what the people are thinking. ”

When Cheng Ji heard this, he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you want to..."

Chongzhen smiled a few words and sat back on the throne: "It seems that Cheng Ge Lao is still very smart, does the Ge Lao have any thoughts on Xiao Yi's promotion, let's discuss it with me." ”

Although Chongzhen is kind to himself, Cheng Jiming knows that Chongzhen kills people without blinking, and the first assistant of the cabinet has changed several times in the past four years, and he is likely to follow in the footsteps of those people if he is not careful.

Not daring to relax in the slightest, Cheng Ji could only follow Chongzhen, and said: "Minister... According to what Chen saw, Xiao also had a great achievement, but... Can you add a reward? ”

"Oh?"

Chongzhen glanced at Cheng Jiming, Cheng Jiming's hands tightened, and then Chongzhen's laughter came, and Cheng Jiming's heart relaxed.

"What the elder sees is the same as me, so it will be according to what the elder said."

……

According to the imperial calendar, February 6 is an auspicious day, so on this day, Chongzhen led his ministers to the Taimiao, one is to worship, and the other is to offer victory to the first emperor, and all over the country celebrates like clouds...

On February 8, Chongzhen looked at a Tang newspaper from Xuanfu in the Dezheng Palace, and was already a little angry after reading it, and Lin Dan Khan 'asked for a reward'.

Originally, according to history, Lin Dan Khan's words should have been quite 'arrogant', and there was no respect for Daming and Chongzhen between his words, to the effect that if you don't give a reward, I will continue to besiege the border towns.

For the Liaodong war situation and the serious thieves in Shanxi and Shanxi, Chongzhen made concessions and resumed the reward of 40,000 taels of silver a year for Mongolia, but after this great victory.

Lin Dan Khan and Chongzhen exchanged, Lin Dan Khan actually said a lot of concessions, and as long as the city reward of 30,000 taels of silver, Mongolia promised not to invade the three towns of Datong Xuanfu again, and also paid tribute to Daming three horses every year to show friendship.

This is a huge concession, but Xiao Yi's victory alone is not enough to make Lin Dan Khan so.

Lin Dan Khan had intended to make friends with the Ming Dynasty in order to curb the emerging Jurchens in the Northeast, and he also had his hands free to clean up the Monan tribes that were attached to the Jurchens one by one.

Chongzhen knew that the change in Lin Dan Khan's attitude was also partly due to Xiao Yi's 'impossible victory', so he put down the Tang newspaper and watched a few notes in a row, all of which were about Mongolia.

Hu Ke suggested to Ying Zhen, Shanxi Provincial Imperial Shi Feng Jiahui and other ministers to "attack the east with the west captives", and use Lin Dan Khan to deal with Huang Taiji, so as to reap the "fisherman's benefits".

The implication is to suggest that Chongzhen restore the city reward and shift Lin Danhan's attention to the Jurchens.

I think that there are also many ministers in the court who have suggested this, including those who are afraid of Mongol revenge and propose appeasement, those who propose city rewards in order to show the royal prestige, and a very small number of those who propose to fight between the two captives.

For this reason, Chongzhen has been thinking about it for a few days, and after thinking about it again and again, Chongzhen finally made up his mind and said to Wang Chengen with a smile.

"If Mongolia wants to make friends, let it play, and send envoys to discuss the affairs of the Eastern captives."

In the past few days, the discussion of how Xiao Yi rewarded him continued, but with the vigorous promotion of Lu Xiangsheng and Zhao Shujiao, the general soldier of Pingliao, and others.

Chongzhen finally made up his mind, issued a holy decree on February 12, and went straight to Ulju.

……

Not to mention how Chongzhen and Lin Dan Khan mediated and came to Ulzhou at the end of February.

Walking out of the garrison mansion, a breeze blew in front of me, the wind at this time was already warm, and the north had always been cold, but in February, spring plowing was about to begin, and the temperature was gradually warming.

It's just that Daming is also very short due to the Xiaoice River, and most of the time it is cold and howling.

"I slept well."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one saw it, Xiao Yi quietly stretched his waist, if people saw it, some people would draw inferences, thinking of Xiao Yi's vulgarity...

With a sigh, he hadn't had morning exercises for a long time, except for when he was fighting, he basically sat in the mansion all day to deal with government affairs.

As a garrison, Xiao Yi really has a hard time, he can't do a lot of things he likes, every word he says has to be carefully considered, and only in the barracks can he feel a trace of comfort.

It has been a few months since the last big victory, and in the days after the end of the exercise, there were discussions about the drill everywhere, and the generals of Datong and Xuanfu Town continued to come to Xiao Yi and greet him.

In the more than ten days just after the end of the war and drills, almost every day, there were gentry and merchants who went to the barracks to work in the barracks, carrying pigs to raise wine and meat, and chatting with the soldiers.

The common people have not seen this phenomenon of the gentry spontaneously working in the army for a long time, and they are all very happy, all in all, Ulju is a thriving scene everywhere.

After returning, those wounded soldiers have been carefully recuperated by doctors, and they have already recovered, even the most seriously injured and almost killed on the battlefield are now alive, shouting all day long to fight.

I have to say that the idea of escorting merchants to travel is really a good way to make money, Xiao Yi has tried to increase the price several times, but those merchants don't seem to be short of money at all.

How much money you want to give, some of them are not enough after giving money, and they have to send some cloth, silk and other things, which is called Feng and Xiao Shoubei.

In the past few months, Xiao Yi has earned no less than 2,000 taels of silver, supporting the activities of the Yongan Army in Ulzhou, but it is still only slightly enough, and Xiao Yi still has to let the sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion go out to suppress bandits from time to time.

For a long time, although it was difficult, Zhou Baotai did not give up the matter of recruiting and forming a cavalry battalion, and now a few months have passed, and only more than 200 people have been recruited, which is still half of the total number.

"It seems that the cavalry should think about it, even if it is formed like this, there will be no time to practice, let alone fight the Tartars."

Xiao Yizheng was muttering to himself, when he saw Huang Yang and several people rushing over, shouting something, and he couldn't hear it clearly until he got closer.

"My lord, the holy decree has arrived, the emperor's holy decree has arrived!"
