529 Where to go
It was almost noon, and the sun shone on the clear water and the bright moon, and the smile on the face of the Ming sergeant was even more obvious. Even some of the older crow's feet look much less in this sun.
After going through hardships, the Qingshui Mingyue Pass was finally laid today, announcing that Jianyu had finally been beaten out of the land of Gyeonggi, and King Qin also had a good result.
The soldiers fantasized about how much they would get, whether they would pay off their debts, marry a daughter-in-law, or buy some land. And the senior generals of the Ming army all gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp, and they were not in the Qingshui Mingyue Pass.
Of course, they had gone in and seen it, but before the rest of the Jianyu fled to the grassland, they had already destroyed the inside of Qingshui Mingyue Pass, and they couldn't stay.
Sun Chengzong is still in the back account, the senior generals at all levels are happy, those civil officials still know how to be reserved, and as for those military generals, they can't help but speak loudly.
"Those captives are just a bunch of barbarians, who know how to defend the city! If you dare to stay here again, don't let them bury their bones here! ”
"Yes, it's a pity, if it weren't just the first-level reward, it would have been piled up into a mountain of silver!"
“……”
Hong Chengchou stood behind Ma Shilong, the first in the governor's position, listening to the generals behind him, he felt a little disdainful in his heart.
Now, although he has served as the governor for a very short time, he can be said to be the shortest governor in the current Chinese army's big tent, but his position is ranked before this, all because of his excellent performance in this Qinwang war, which was appreciated by Sun Chengzong. It is foreseeable that after the triumph, the official road will inevitably be able to take another step forward.
The reason why he was disdainful was because the war, which could have ended quickly, was dragged down by other troops.
Although Qingshui Mingyue Pass is steep. But under the bombardment of Hongyi artillery, it is obviously impossible to hold it for so long. But Jianyu did not defend the city, and often launched a counter-charge, if he could withstand the pressure of Jianlu's counter-charge, the war would be almost the same.
But even those general soldiers who are bragging about it at the moment are often broken up by Jianyu. Otherwise, they will all be like their own army. That will have to wait until today.
In this battle in Gyeonggi, although it is estimated that more than 1,000 Jianyu were killed, not many heads could be obtained, and the bodies were all snatched back by Jianlu.
If there are really so many heads, no, even if there are more than 500 heads on hand at present, it is estimated that the imperial court will be repaid, because the imperial court has no money at all.
Hong Chengchou's thoughts were thought about it, and he returned to himself.
The imperial court had already handed down a clear text before. It is said that Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was given death, and this position is currently hanging. It is estimated that if Lord Sun recommends to the emperor and estimates the position of the governor of the three sides, he is fifty percent sure.
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou remembered Sun Chengzong's matter again. This time King Qin's war, although the court was dissatisfied with the delay so far, it has been repeatedly urged. But after all, he won the battle of Qingshui Mingyue Pass, which can be regarded as a successful ending. With Sun's qualifications and connections. It is estimated that it will not be too much of a problem to be a first assistant in the future.
And Sun Daren admires himself very much, as long as he keeps this good impression. Then your future will inevitably be brighter.
Hong Chengchou thought as he smiled on his face. At this moment, there was movement in the back tent, and Sun Chengzong, who was guarding the big red official robe, turned out.
The civilian and military generals in the big tent of the Chinese army were immediately silenced when they saw Sun Chengzong come out. But there was a hint of joy on his face, thinking about writing a good report, and he didn't know how to share the credit.
Although Sun Chengzong was sixty-seven years old and his hair and beard were all white, his spirit at this time was also good. There is no longer the hidden worries of the previous days.
He waved his hand to excuse the civilian and military generals first, and then said in a loud voice: "In this war, thanks to the concerted efforts of all of you, we can go to the national disaster together, save the people from fire and water, and save the society from danger. The old man has seen many of his contributions to you, and he will truthfully report to the emperor and ask for the reward you deserve. ”
When the civil officials and military generals heard this, even Hong Chengchou, who was very deep in the city, was happy to thank Sun Chengzong. But at this moment, a discordant scene happened.
I saw a personal guard almost crawling into the tent of the Chinese army, knelt on one knee at the door, and loudly announced: "The holy decree of the Beijing division of 800 miles of urgency has arrived at the gate of the camp. ”
When the people in the big tent of the Chinese army heard this, they were a little unimpressed. Especially among the generals who are a little more irritable, some people are muttering: "It must be another holy decree to urge the war to end as soon as possible, these are all thirteen holy decrees, right?" ”
Hong Chengchou sneered slightly in his heart, and guessed with bad intentions: "If the war drags on any longer, will those people in the Jingshi turn their hair gray?" ”
Sun Chengzong frowned, he knew the difficulties of the imperial court. Originally, rats could starve to death in the treasury of the imperial court, but the war in the land of Gyeonggi could not end, and the grain and grass logistics of nearly 100,000 Qinwang troops were indeed difficult for the emperor and the princes of the court. Thankfully, the fighting is over today, and the most difficult days are over.
Thinking so, he interrupted the topic of preparing for the meritorious service, and instead ordered: "Set up the incense case first, and receive the holy decree!" ”
When the civilian and military generals in the Chinese military tent heard this, they were quite unhappy, some of them hid in their hearts, and some showed their faces, but they couldn't do anything about it.
But before Sun Chengzong's guards could prepare, they heard a commotion from outside the tent, and then someone broke in.
Sun Chengzong looked up, was immediately taken aback, and shouted, "Grandpa Gao, why did you come here in person?" ”
The person who came was one of the three most trusted eunuchs of Emperor Chongzhen, and he was high.
I saw the sweat on his face dripping down, panting, gloomy face, and shouting in a sharp voice: "It's a big deal, hurry up and take the order!" ”
Is it about to run out of food? It doesn't matter, the war here is just over. Sun Chengzong guessed while hurriedly receiving the order.
Other people's thoughts are similar to Sun Chengzong's, for this reason, some people are not without malice, the speed of eight hundred miles of expeditiousness, could it be that those people in the capital division can't raise food, so they all resign and don't do it, right?
However, when Gao Qiqian recited the holy decree, these civil officials and military generals, no matter how deep the city government was and how rich their experience was, all became stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Shanhaiguan actually fell and was occupied by Jianqing?
The first thought in their minds is disbelief. But this is a holy decree, and it is a decree passed by Gao Gonggong himself, and there will be no mistake. It was only then that they understood why the decree had come at a speed of eight hundred miles.
The generals may only be worried about how to face the Jianyu who occupies Shanhaiguan and connects Liaodong in the future, while the civil officials have another worry, the great changes in the court are about to happen, and what should the Ming Dynasty do in the future? (To be continued.) )
