Chapter 399: Loyal and Brave Uncle
Wang Dou looked at Liu coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes, most of these dead eunuchs are not good things, they are arrogant and arrogant, not to mention that their hearts are greedy and distorted, and they are not necessarily loyal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If it is good in the peaceful and prosperous era, at the end of the dynasty, it is necessary to find another master, such as the eunuchs Du Xun, Du Zhizhi, Shen Zhixiu, the great eunuch Wang Dehua and other thieves who surrendered, and the eunuch Gao Qiqian surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Cao Huachun did not open the door Although he did not surrender Li Zicheng, he also surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the eunuchs descended to Li Chuang, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when it came to the number of martyrs, most of them were literati.
I have already killed a Gao Qiqian, if I don't know what to do, I don't mind killing another Liu.
At this time, Liu Jijing was so angry that he was incoherent, but he pointed at Wang Dou and scolded indiscriminately: "Okay, you are a puppet, our family and you are incompatible." ”
Yang Sichang had been looking at it lightly, with a smile on his face, and then he coughed: "General Wang, they are all officials of the imperial court, don't lose your dignity." ”
Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang, also woke up suddenly, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, they are all colleagues and courtiers, and peace should be precious, and harmony is precious." ”
He repeatedly persuaded Liu to sit down, but Liu seemed to be so angry that his whole body went limp, and he no longer had the strength to scold, so he collapsed on the chair and did not move, and his eyes just looked at Wang Dou with resentment.
Wang Dou didn't look at him, and saluted the boss: "Dou, it's out of shape." ”
After saying that, he sat down calmly and continued to drink tea.
Yang Sichang said to Zuo Liangyu again: "General Zuo, you also sit down." ”
Zuo Liangyu's face was cloudy, and finally muttered: "Huangkou Xiaoer, I don't know as much as you!" ”
After speaking, he sat down and said nothing, but his face was extremely ugly.
Today's events, he completely fell behind, and he walked out of the gate and didn't know how it would be spread. He suddenly regretted a little, why bother to confront this stunned young man for some chaotic army? ruined his prestige for no reason.
Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Meng Ruhu and others were secretly refreshed, seeing Zuo Liangyu and Liu suffocating in front of Wang Dou, they were happy.
He Renlong looked at Wang Dou with a somewhat complicated expression, people said that Shibei three days, when he was impressed, he didn't see each other for a few years, this Wang Dou became more and more prominent, and even Zuo Liangyu, who he was afraid of, was suppressed by him, what will he become in the future?
After that, everyone had no intention of discussing things, and they all looked at Wang Dou frequently, and everyone was thoughtful.
Soon the people dispersed, and there was no discussion of any military affairs.
The matter of the superintendent's deeds that day also spread quickly, and the news that General Ping Thief was suffocated in front of General Dingguo spread widely. Hearing that Zuo Liangyu was angry, he stabbed his beloved concubine to death with a sword, and said hatefully: "It's all caused by this slut!" ”
On that day, the 1,000 troops of the Left Army clashed with a group of Shunxiang Army baggage soldiers in Fancheng, and the result was a big surprise, nearly 1,000 people were defeated by 50 people and chased for several miles.
There was an uproar inside and outside Xiangyang City, Zuo Liangyu was known as a strong army in Huguang, Henan and other places, but he was so vulnerable to the Shunxiang Army, and the Shunxiang Army was really worthy of its name. For a while, the flow of people who wanted to join the Shunxiang Army was even more turbulent.
At this time, Yang Sichang was even more ill, and the affairs in the army were handled by Wan Wanji, the superintendent of the army, and Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang. Wan Yuan Ji sighed: "The general is not in harmony, how is it good?" ”
Song Yihe said: "General Wang is jealous and hateful, he can't see ugliness and humiliation, and many things are not his fault, but the world is so ......"
Indeed, Wang Dou is not wrong to say that, his grudge with Zuo Liangyu is because Wang Dou killed some rebels, but shouldn't those rebels be killed? His grudge with Liu was because Liu asked him for a good horse, so should he accept Liu's request? It's just that Wang Dou has a hard temper. …,
Wan Yuan Ji sighed: "Yes, the world is like this...... Let's talk about it when the emperor's decree comes down. ”
Song Yihe said: "Yes, when the emperor rewards him, perhaps, it will be calm." ”
The military merits of the Ming Dynasty were reported to the patrol according to the imperial history, and the verification was completed within two months within the time limit for the great merit, and the verification was completed within one month for the small merit, and then reported to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War sent someone down to check, and the final result often took several months.
But great feats like Luoyang and Xiangyang are all rewarded by special decrees, so the speed is fast, perhaps, the holy decree will come soon.
There are three kinds of post posts in the Ming Dynasty: express shop, water horse post, and delivery station.
The express delivery shop is dedicated to the delivery of official documents, using manpower to deliver in steps. The delivery station transports military supplies by vehicle and ship. The rest of the water horse post is specially designed to deliver envoys and report military affairs.
Tang Bao is a kind of water horse station, specializing in flying to report military affairs, due to Chongzhen's early rectification of the post delivery, lost a large number of funds, and now thieves are everywhere, the road is restless, in the past, Tang Bao can travel 300 miles a day and night, but now it is far from reaching.
Xiangyang to Beijing is nearly 2,000 miles, and it used to take only seven days to report to Tang, but now it takes 12 days. On the 8th day of the first month of February, Huguang reported success, and it was not until the 20th that the governor Yang Sichang, the governor of Huguang, Song Yihe, and the king of Xiang and others arrived in Beijing.
A few days ago, the cabinet discussed the merits of Wang Dou's victory in Luoyang, but he didn't expect to hear about the victory in Xiangyang, and he killed the giant thief Zhang Xianzhong, and Wang Dou's merits had to be discussed urgently.
On the 21st, the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, the Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fan Fucui, the first assistant of the cabinet in front of him, Li Rixuan, the secretary of the ministry, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, and said: "Say, how is General Wang's merits?" ”
After speaking, he looked down at the recitals of Yang Sichang and others, he had watched these recitals more than ten times, and he still never got tired of watching them, and every time he watched them, he felt excited. He held the red pen and circled the highlights of the killing of the thief on the fold, and smiled knowingly from time to time.
Offering thieves, Emperor Chongzhen's heart is in great trouble, hating it straight into the bone marrow, it is this person who dug up the tomb of Emperor Gao, so that he was speechless to face his ancestors, and he could not explain to all the people in the world! Well, now the thief is dead, and he is dead! General Wang's amazing feats!
Fan Fucui, the first assistant of the cabinet, is old and seriously ill several times, but he actually does not want to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, and he has also resigned several times due to illness, but Emperor Chongzhen did not allow it, so he had to continue to serve. On weekdays, the cabinet also has the attitude of playing soy sauce, and it is a day to live.
He was "highly respected", so the emperor gave him a stool to sit on, and at this time he sat on the stool and said tremblingly: "Back to the saint, General Wang was originally the commander of the Wanquan Dusi, Luoyang was victorious, and he was promoted to the third level, so he crossed the commander of the envoy, and the governor of the palace, and appointed him as the governor of the rear army......"
He nagged and didn't get into the topic for a long time, and Emperor Chongzhen listened impatiently, but he still listened patiently to Fan Ge's old age.
Fan Shoufu continued: "Of course, General Wang won another great victory in Xiangyang, and even killed the thieves, so the meaning of the cabinet is ...... Added his crown prince Shaobao Zuo Du Governor, awarded Rong Lu Doctor, Yin a son of the world brocade clothes thousand households, and gave three generations of one product...... cough cough ......"
“…… Ahem...... This is the result of the meeting of the ministers of the Cabinet......"
Li Rixuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who were standing behind him, were all salutes: "The ministers are attached." ”
Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a long time, then stood up and paced in the pavilion and shook his head, sighing in his heart: "Yang Qing still knows my heart." ”
Thinking of the news that Yang Sichang was seriously ill, he was worried. …,
He said slowly: "General Wang saved the vassal king twice, killed the thieves, and had miraculous achievements with the country, and he could not be rewarded if he was not a title." ”
He made up his mind and said loudly: "Spread my will, Wang Dou, the general of Xuanfu Town East Road, is loyal and commendable, and he has made meritorious service in killing thieves, and he has been promoted to the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town's regiment training, and he is still stationed on Jiedong Road." Give his army and say that the Jingbian army gave his battalion and said that he was loyal and brave, and gave him the lord and said that he was loyal and brave, and gave him a coupon, and gave an iron coupon to eat 1,000 stones, and hung the general and seal. The meritorious personnel of his ministry and other military departments will verify and reward their meritorious service. ”
A series of wills were issued, Fan Fucui and the others were stunned, but they didn't expect Wang Dou to be crowned an uncle, and he also received iron coupons, this is a hereditary knighthood, not a liujue. also gave the military number, the battalion number, and then hung the general's seal, this is a gift from the sky, how many people are there in the Ming Dynasty?
And this conquest of the general...... At the beginning of the country, there was a general who was captured, that was Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, who led the army to conquer the capital and destroy Mengyuan. What does the emperor mean by this? Do you want Wang Dou to smash the Yellow Dragon like Wei Guogong and destroy the Eastern Captives?
The eunuch on duty in the cabinet took the pen and wrote down the emperor's will one by one, Emperor Chongzhen took it and watched, nodded with satisfaction, saw Fan Fucui and others looked sluggish, and said loudly: "I just want to tell the world that those who are loyal and fearless, and kill thieves for the country, I will not hesitate to reward!" ”
Fan Fucui and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, so they had to bow down and shout: "The emperor is sage." ”
Emperor Chongzhen continued: "There is also Yang Qing, plus his crown prince Taibao, giving crowns and belts, brocade and silk two sides each, and the purpose is to give condolences to the good life. ”
He issued a holy decree to reward and punish everyone in Xiangyang one by one, and finally his eyes were deep: "Liugou behind the mausoleum, Changling in the south, monolith in the north town, Chen Jiugao, the governor of the governor's office, served as the chief soldier of Liugou, defended the interior, and contacted the general army in front of the mausoleum, so that Tianshou Mountain stood in the center like Mount Tai, and the four dimensions."
Fan Fucui and Li Rixuan didn't react for a while, Chen Xinjia, as the secretary of the military department, had been in Xuanzhen for a long time, but he was stunned.
There is already Wang Dou on the East Road, in fact, he is the general army in front of the mausoleum, with him, how can the East Nu Beiyu break the gap, do you still need to set up the general army after the mausoleum?
Since entering the cabinet, Chen Xinjia has felt unpredictable, the emperor's mind is becoming more and more incomprehensible, and he can't be like Yang Sichang, so that the emperor obeys his words.
Thinking of Yang Sichang's failure to suppress the thief and the cost of one million taels, not only was there no fault, but because of Wang Dou, he had to add the crown prince and the emperor's special reward, and he was envious and jealous in his heart.
After talking about the reward in Xiangyang, Fan Fucui and others said goodbye and left, and Emperor Chongzhen asked Chen Xinjia to stay.
With a worried look on his face, he asked, "What's going on in Jinzhou?" ”
Chen Xinjia replied: "Back to the emperor, the thieves and slaves set up camps on all sides of Jinzhou, dug long trenches, and transported dozens of red cannons, and Jinzhou supported him. According to the Jinzhou Shou General Zu Dashou last Tang report, Jincheng rice grain is only for more than a month, and beans are less than a month, if the cunning voice is loud and sound, Jinzhou is bound to be precarious, the day is not overdue. ”
Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "Ningjin Qi veins are connected, if Jinzhou is lost, then Songshan and Xingshan will be lost." Songshan, Xingshan, and Jinzhou are lost, then Ningyuan Mountain Customs is in danger, what does the governor of Jiliao say. ”
Chen Xinjia said: "The governor of Jiliao said that this is the old trick of the Daling River, so he does not dare to enter lightly, and only stationed in Ningyuan to get a glimpse of the situation in Jinzhou. ” 。 )
