……
Like a thunderclap, the results of the business war on the East Road surprised all parties.
In a few days, from Xuanfu Town to Yanghe City, to Datong Town, to Ningwuguan, to Taiyuan Mansion, and then to Fuxia Taigu, Yuci, Jiexiu, and Pingyang Mansion, the streets and alleys were all in an uproar.
Although the road was inconvenient at this time, and there was no means of communication in later generations, it was still like a lightning flash, and the results of the business war were publicized and released by people with intentions, and quickly spread out of Xuanda Shanxi, to Jiangnan, Huguang and other places, not to mention Gyeonggi, which was closer to the East Road.
Resisting the combined attack of several big families all the way, and finally winning a big victory, this strange result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Not only paid attention to the business war, the local wealthy officials, civil generals, that is, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, and Wei Jingyuan, the governor of Datong, were also stunned after getting the news, and Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanda, even knocked over his teacup in a gaffe and muttered to himself: "Won like this?" ”
When the news reached Jingshi, the teahouses and restaurants were full again, and in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen sighed after hearing it: "Sure enough, not only martial arts, Wang Dou Wenzhi is also outstanding, and Donglu is already a country within a country......
Fan Yongdou and other everyone, all of them are like ashes, they are vertical and horizontal, invincible in business, but they don't want to capsize in the gutter, the force is not as good, and the business is not as good, how should they deal with Wang Dou in the future?
The leeches on the same rope with them, or the supporters and sympathizers of all parties, are also sighing. can't cure Wang Dou, this guy will be even more domineering in the future. Many people are more dissatisfied and vigilant in their hearts, such as Du Xun, the eunuch who guarded the town, the king of Jin in Taiyuan, and the acting king of Datong. The same is true of the Gu King of Xuanzhen, as well as the powerful officials and generals in many places in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course. There are also many people who are bright, Yongning Hou Wenzhi's martial arts are outstanding, and now the Ming Dynasty is black, there are many drawbacks, and the future is not bright, perhaps, go to Xuanzhen. It is an ideal choice for yourself to go to the East Road.
It is impossible for any public figure to be liked by everyone, and there must be supporters and opponents. Neutrals, after the business war, many neutrals have already made up their minds to join Wang Dou, among them, there are no ordinary gentry, officials and petty officials.
Perhaps, this is the positive harvest of this business war Wang Dou, showing his strength to the outside world, in the troubled times, it is like a bright light, it is so dazzling, so eye-catching, so attractive.
On November 21, Wang Dou led his army back to the East Road, accompanied by Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu Army, Wang Pu's Datong Army, and the Shanxi Town Army headed by Li Yunshu, a general of Shanxi Town.
The battle of Liaodong, Shanxi general soldier Li Fuming was killed, more than half of the soldiers and horses in the town were killed and wounded, Li Yunshu was injured and comatose at that time, and after waking up, he saw that the marshal was killed, and he was grief-stricken.
Li Yunshu was originally a guerrilla, and after this military merit award, he should be able to be promoted to deputy general, but not long after, the general army of Shanxi Town will be replaced by Zhou Yuji, the general of the Beijing camp, he does not know Zhou Yuji, where to go, he is quite at a loss in his heart.
Not only him, but also the generals of the battalions in Shanxi Town were also at a loss, Li Yunshu had expressed his intention to take refuge in Wang Dou in private.
In fact, Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, etc., have all wooed Li Yunshu, and the remnants of the army in Shanxi Town, after a series of bloody battles, there are many elite soldiers in each battalion, and the combat strength has undergone great changes, and many people can be incorporated into the main barracks.
Wang Dou was also moved, indeed, the Shanxi Army, many people are qualified to be incorporated into the Zhongyi Battalion, but annexing friendly troops is easy to fall behind, besides, he has a lot of friendship with Zhou Yuji, and he can't bear to do this.
Now Zhou Yuji is on his way to take office, only with some family guards, maybe only a few hundred people, the battalions in Shanxi Town have suffered heavy losses, and then pull away their soldiers and horses, how will Zhou Yuji preside over the defense of Shanxi Town in the future?
Therefore, Wang Dou let go of this thought, and only said to Li Yunshu: "The new chief soldier of Shanxi Town, General Zhou Yuji Zhou, Ben Hou has met with him in Xiangyang, he is a loyal person, he will definitely treat you well, General Li does not have to worry." ”
He said meaningfully: "Moreover, we may not have no opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”
After Wang Dou's persuasion, the hearts of Li Yunshu and others settled down a little.
Seeing Wang Dou like this, Wang Pu and the others were embarrassed to mention the matter of wooing again.
The returned Xuanda Three Towns Army, even the Shanxi Army in Liaodong at that time, had a total of about 50,000 people before the war, and after half a year of fighting, the three towns suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but the remaining soldiers and horses were still vast, plus the baggage team behind, and the banner was black and suppressed like a dark cloud.
Entering the boundary of the East Road, Yang Guozhu needless to say, Wang Pu's Datong Army has also seen the wealth and prosperity of the East Road, and it is okay to be happy and peaceful.
Li Yunshu and other Shanxi soldiers saw it for the first time, all of them were full of praise, amazed, and many generals reacted, they all came to live on the East Road after retiring, or bought a field and a house on the East Road, and moved some of their families over.
As soon as I passed the fork city, I saw that the soldiers and civilians of the East Road who were cheering and welcoming continued, and when they arrived near Yulinbao, on both sides of the official road, it was even darker and more oppressive, and they were all welcoming the soldiers and civilians.
In the march of the army, the sound of "ten thousand victories" sounded to curb the clouds, on both sides of the army, there were more swords and swords pointed obliquely, in the cold wind, I saw that the dazzling light of metal was shining, and it spread to the sky one by one.
According to the law of the East Road, to welcome the return of the army, the weapons that everyone puts in the house on weekdays can be carried out, showing the prosperity of martial arts, of course, bird guns and handcuffs are not allowed to be carried.
Looking at the weather on the East Road, Li Yunshu and the others were shocked and emotional, these military households were pulled out casually, they were all qualified, and even elite troops, Yongning Hou was able to get the identity in front of him, and the status in front of him was by no means a fluke.
Although he suffered a lot of casualties in the Battle of Jinzhou, he must be able to replenish it soon, recover his strength, or even go to the next level.
At the same time, seeing that Wang Dou's prestige in the territory is well-known, and he has won the morale of the army and the people, everyone is envious, when can he be like this?
Although he returned, Wang Dou only ordered to camp between Yulin Fort, Yanqing Prefecture, and Huailai City, except for the wounded soldiers, he did not let the army return to the city defense camp for the time being, nor did he go to Shunxiang Fort to worship, and he did not return to Yongning City, no one could figure out what he was thinking.
However, at the warm invitation of Yu Gui, the general of Nanshan Road, he lived in Yulin Fort, and Yu Gui specially vacated the general's mansion, and he said to Li Yunshu and others: "When General Li and others first arrived on the East Road, the marquis should do his best to be a landlord, why don't you just hover in the contemptible place for a few days?" ”
Wang Pu showed a smile of comprehension, Yang Guozhu sighed, Li Yunshu and other Shanxi town generals actually knew about the business war on the East Road, with the temper of Yongning Hou, how could he be a person who swallowed his anger, how would he react next? Li Yunshu was also quite concerned.
He said: "In this way, there will be Marquis Lao Yongning, and the grain and grass consumed by the army in your realm will be sent to the town as soon as possible after returning to the town." ”
Wang Dou smiled and said: "The three towns of Xuanda are one, they are all their own brothers, so why bother to see outside?" ”
According to the grain and grass supply system of the Ming Dynasty, the army went out to fight, and part of the grain and grass was supplied by the imperial court, but most of the grain and grass was still supplied by the local government.
Of course, when the army goes out, for various reasons, it is impossible to transport it all the way from the locality, and most of them are supplied by the localities along the way, and then the officials of the local area ask for it from the local government where the army is located, which naturally causes many difficulties, after all, it is very difficult to ask for it afterwards.
Although many border troops will issue silver before leaving, they can also use the silver to buy grain and grass along the way.
However, the imperial court is often in arrears, and the generals often have insufficient food in their hands, not to mention, and now there are many disasters in the big tomorrow, or for other reasons, sometimes there is no silver to buy grain and grass, just like Lu Xiangsheng back then, if there is silver, you can't buy food.
This is also the reason why the guest soldiers are reluctant to go out, any link is wrong, and the soldiers and soldiers will be hungry.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, such a system had a reasonable side, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it had become a bad government.
There are thousands of soldiers and horses in the Shanxi army, and every day they stop on the East Road, the grain and grass of the soldiers and horses and mules must be supplied locally, which is not a small amount, not to mention, there are tens of thousands of Xuanfu Town and Datong Army, so Li Yunshu and others have this to say.
Yulin Fort is not big, but the general's mansion is not small, for Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu and others, Yu Gui has arranged a rest room, because of the fatigue of the march, and the people who welcome Wang Dou are constantly coming and going, so Li Yunshu and Wang Pu talked for a while, and then left to rest.
Before walking out of the lobby, Yang Guozhu said to Wang Dou: "My daughter has been pregnant for several months, but it's a pity that Zhending Mansion is too far away, otherwise, it would be better to take her to the town to recuperate." ”
Wang Dou nodded and sighed, "Yes." ”
At that time, when he was in Beijing, he sent people to visit Xu Yue'e, and brought some supplements from Beijing, some more experienced mothers-in-law who waited for pregnant women, etc., but Emperor Zanhuang was too far away from the east road, and Xu Yue'e also had a body for several months, but she couldn't run around.
Think about it, I have too many chores and lack skills, although Xu Yue'e is a strong and independent woman, it would be better to go and see it one day.
After Yang Guozhu went out, Wang Dou quickly sent away Ma Guoxi, the governor of Yanqing Prefecture, Wu Zhi and others, as well as his friend, Chen Jiugao, the chief soldier of the Mausoleum, who knocked on their side, his reaction to the business war, and who the future town guard of the East Road would be, and did not disclose any tone.
Wang Dou returned to the East Road, all eyes were on it, and many people were waiting for his next reaction, in addition to Shanxi Governor Cai Maode, Shanxi General Zhou Yuji was still on his way to take office, and even Xuanda Governor Ji Shiwei, Xuanfu Governor Zhu Zhifeng, and Datong Governor Wei Jingyu were all in a hurry to the East Road.
At present, Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu are marquises, and Wang Pu is an earl, both of whom are honorable, and they are just here to pay a visit, and they are justified and will not make people sick.
The members of the shogunate in Yongning City, together with Ma Guoxi and others, were already in the ranks of the welcoming army, and the outsiders all retreated, and they gathered in the lobby of the General's Mansion in Yulin Fort.
At this time, Wang Dou was on the top position, and looked at some of the people kneeling below with a look of regret, they were the thieves on the East Road this time. (To be continued.) )
