Chapter Eighty-Seven: Meet Chongzhen
Tianjin Wei. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The war has ended yesterday, after the defeat of the Tartars, has left Tianjin Wei, now Tianjin Wei, no more war, since the end of the war yesterday, Zhang Feng has been busy ordering everyone to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and do a series of aftermath work.
Up to now, although it can still be clearly seen that Tianjin Wei has gone through a big battle, at least the corpses all over the ground can no longer be seen, all the corpses have been dug and buried outside the city, and even the blood inside and outside the city has been carefully washed.
The casualties have been counted, although this time it was a big victory, but Zhang Feng's casualties were not small, the soldiers suffered two or three hundred casualties, of which more than 100 were killed in battle.
The casualties among the young men were even greater, with more than 500 killed and hundreds wounded.
Seeing the number of casualties, Zhang Feng's heart was a little heavy, but when he thought about it, since ancient times, in wars, where there were immortals, his heart felt a little better.
The pension has been paid, and the young and middle-aged who died in the war were each given two hundred taels of silver, and the wounded were paid from a dozen taels of silver to dozens of taels.
After Wang Chaoyong reported the casualties and the distribution of pensions, he said: "General soldier, the war is over, what should I do with those young people?" ”
When Zhang Feng arrived in Tianjinwei, he launched more than 2,000 young men to defend the city for the first time, and the second time he faced 100,000 Manchu iron cavalry to attack the city, and mobilized a large number of young people.
These young and strong, their performance is good, and they have also experienced big battles, and they have a certain amount of battlefield experience, if they are trained a little, they are definitely an elite.
Zhang Feng's thoughts about Wang Chaoyong can be described as insightful, Zhang Feng said: "Captain Wang, what do you say?" ”
Wang Chaoyong obviously thought about it a long time ago, and immediately said: "Chief soldier, why don't we all incorporate this batch of young people, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Feng was very tempted by this suggestion, and after thinking about it, Zhang Feng nodded and said, "I think this suggestion is okay." ”
Hearing this, Wang Chaoyong was overjoyed and said happily: "General soldier, after the incorporation of this group of young and strong, our scale will reach the scale of at least one brigade, am I going to be a brigade commander?" ”
Seeing Wang Chaoyong looking at himself with bright eyes, Zhang Feng scolded with a smile: "Look at your appearance, where is a brigade enough, I think I need at least one division." ”
"Ahh Wang Chaoyong was stunned for a while, and then he was overjoyed, "Chief soldier, really!" Haha, I'm going to be a teacher! ”
Zhang Feng thought in his heart, it's time for the army to expand, at the beginning in Songjiang Mansion, the size of the army was limited to two thousand people, and there was Tan Yixian, the prefect of Songjiang, Zhang Feng had no way.
Now it is different, with such a big victory, I believe that we can earn some political capital, and we should be able to get an official and a half post, and the limit of 2,000 people must also be broken, and we must first develop to one division.
Seeing Wang Chaoyong so happy, Zhang Feng also smiled happily, thinking in his heart, the end of the war, it should be his own period of rapid development, and after returning to Songjiang Mansion, he must show his strength, develop industry, and train new soldiers.
Just thinking like this, one of Zhang Feng's guards came to report, stood upright, saluted, and reported loudly: "Lord Commander, a team of people came outside, led by several eunuchs, and the leading eunuch said that by the emperor's order, you will enter Beijing." ”
Zhang Feng nodded, thinking in his heart, when he was going to enter Beijing, he was going to see Emperor Chongzhen, and he didn't know what kind of official position Emperor Chongzhen gave him this time.
Zhang Feng received the holy decree and immediately set off from Tianjin Wei, accompanied by only Wang Chaoyong and Guan Peng, in addition to a few guards.
………
The capital, inside the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
Generally speaking, the emperor receives his subordinate ministers in the Fengtian Palace, and only in the case of relatively private or very important circumstances, the emperor will receive the ministers below in the imperial study.
Undoubtedly, it is a great honor to be received by the emperor in the imperial study.
Today, Zhang Feng was fortunate to enter the imperial study, and it was the emperor's personal eunuch Wang Chengen who took Zhang Feng into the imperial study.
With Zhang Feng, he walked to the door of the imperial study, and Wang Chengen said loudly: "Long live Qiyu, Mr. Zhang is here!" ”
In the study, a voice came, "Come in." "Undoubtedly, this is the voice of Emperor Chongzhen.
About to meet the emperor, Zhang Feng's mood was slightly excited, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and quickly went through some of the "precautions" that Wang Chengen had already explained in his mind.
Wang Chengen gently pushed open the door of the study, made a gesture of please, Zhang Feng walked into the study, bowed down according to the same way he saw the emperor, and then shouted long live.
"Mr. Zhang, flat body."
Hearing this, Zhang Fengcai stood up, and saw Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, Emperor Chongzhen was also looking at Zhang Feng, and when he saw Zhang Feng so young, he couldn't help but nod approvingly.
Zhang Feng naturally didn't dare to take a closer look, but just glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, quietly took a deep breath, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Chongzhen first asked Zhang Feng some about the situation, Zhang Feng answered one by one, although Chongzhen's tone was very calm, but Zhang Feng still felt a burst of coercion, this is the emperor in front of him, supreme.
Zhang Feng replied very carefully, and after asking about some situations, Emperor Chongzhen asked about the situation of the Tianjin Wei War, and Zhang Feng also told the situation one by one.
After listening to Zhang Feng's speech, Chongzhen said: "I didn't think about it, firearms can be so powerful, Mr. Zhang, do you say that we want to vigorously develop firearms and equip a large number of muskets." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Your Majesty, our ancestors have long had firearms, firearms, shotguns, and we have them, and if we really want to vigorously develop firearms, it is not impossible, but ......"
Zhang Feng carefully analyzed, anyway, the development of muskets is something that burns money, and ordinary people can't afford to play it, sure enough, after listening to Zhang Feng's analysis, Chongzhen's brows furrowed slightly, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, there is no money!
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that firearms had long existed, and the development of firearms during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty had reached its peak, Zhang Feng just said that the three-stage shooting method, some people had used it during the Hongwu period, and the Hongwu guns were used at that time, and the shooting was divided into three rows, the first row was loaded with black powder and lead bullets after the shooting, and the second row stepped forward to shoot.
Chongzhen no longer asked about the musket, but changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what are your plans in the future?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Feng was overjoyed in his heart, this time he traveled thousands of miles to lead the army to the king, Zhang Feng's main purpose is to make a little political capital and get an official and a half position, Chongzhen asked like this, Zhang Feng thought in his heart, is the show coming, you want to give me an official and a half position.
There was a burst of joy in his heart, but his face didn't dare to show it, Zhang Feng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, now that the war is over, I want to go back to Songjiang Mansion and train a new army for the emperor. ”
Zhang Feng was more shrewd, saying that he was training a new army for the emperor, so Chongzhen was really happy, and Chongzhen was really happy. Say loudly, "Okay, okay! ”
Dragon's face is happy!
Seeing Chongzhen so happy, Zhang Feng was very happy in his heart, and thought in his heart, this time an official position should not be able to run away.
Chongzhen met Zhang Feng, about half an hour, which is relatively long, Zhang Feng felt honored, and when he walked out of the imperial study, Zhang Feng was full of spirit.
It's just a little regrettable that Chongzhen didn't give Zhang Feng any official position, and the current Zhang Feng is only the chief soldier of the Songjiang Mansion.
Zhang Feng thought in his heart, perhaps, the emperor also needs to carefully consider and weigh it, out of the palace, Zhang Feng returned to his residence, Zhang Feng is going to wait in the capital for a few days, maybe there will be good news in a few days.
