Emperor Chongzhen said: "Hong Chengchou is old and seeks the country, he is right, the enemy is in front, and the soldiers are in danger...... Jinzhou wants to be saved, but it can't be rash. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Xinjia said: "As the emperor said, Jinzhou must be saved, but it cannot be lightly entered." The military department decided to order Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, and Wu Sangui to lead the army to rescue in order to solve the crisis in Jinzhou. ”

He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister asked Zhongyong Bo to lead the army to rescue, since the eleventh year of Chongzhen, General Wang has defeated the thieves in a row, and the Eastern slaves were terrified." If Wang Dou leads the army to rescue, Jinzhou will be impregnable, and the three cities will be safe! ”

Emperor Chongzhen hesitated, and Chen Xinjia persuaded loudly: "When the former Han Dynasty became the emperor, Chen Tang said: Husband five and be the first Han soldier, this is the case with the Jingbian Army today. If there is a loyal and brave uncle, why be afraid of the crisis in Liaodong? This matter is related to the fortunes of the country, and the emperor is asked to think twice. ”

After speaking, he kowtowed again and again.

Emperor Chongzhen said in a low voice: "Inspector Yang will do it......"

Chen Xinjia said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, now Li Zicheng is defeated, Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and the big thief is only Luo Rucai. With Inspector Yang sitting in Xiangyang, and the general of the Ping Thief, Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, the commanders of the Beijing camp, the remaining thieves are not worried. ”

After speaking, he added: "Besides, General Wang has made this miraculous feat, if he still stays in Huguang, I am afraid that there will be a gap with the generals." It is the right time for him to be a teacher now, and the soldiers and horses need to rest when they return to the east road, otherwise the men and horses will be hungry and tired, and it will not be beautiful. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved, yes, this time of luck, Wang Douli's credit is too great. Zuo Liangyu, fierce as a tiger and others chased the thief for thousands of miles, lost their soldiers and lost their generals, but the biggest benefit was taken away by Wang Dou, I don't know what the officers and soldiers of Huguang think now, especially Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, and a few people think.

If Wang Dou continues to stay in Huguang, he will continue to exterminate Luo Rucai's thieves...... If you eat meat, you have to let someone else drink some soup.

But even though he thought so, he still didn't make up his mind and only waved his hand: "Rong Lian will think about it again."

Chen Xinjia retired with interest, secretly happy in his heart, seeing the emperor's intentions, it was very likely that Wang Dou would be summoned back. If Wang Dou wins another great victory in Liaodong under his own command, it will not be far away for him to replace Yang Sichang in the heart of the saint.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a very good mood, he came to Kunning Palace and happened to be the queen, and he was also very happy to see the emperor's smiling face. She has learned the news of the great victory in Xiangyang and the death of the thieves, and has been going to the Fengxian Hall for several days to comfort the ancestral heroes.

At this time, when I saw the emperor, I bowed down again to Emperor He Xi Chongzhen and held her hand, and said with emotion: "The sacrifice of the thief is dead, all the thieves are defeated, the country is improving, and Lian is also relieved." ”

Zhou Hou said happily: "This is all the credit of Wang Dou, the general of Dingguo, and he can be rewarded well." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "The queen is reasonable, but he is not a general of Dingguo now, but a loyal and brave uncle." ”

Zhou Hou said in surprise: "The emperor is so generous, presumably Uncle Zhong Yong must be grateful to Dade and serve the emperor even more wholeheartedly." ”

Chongzhen nodded and said: "Lian is to tell the people of the world that those who serve the country diligently will never treat him lightly." ”

The emperor and the queen talked while walking, went to the imperial garden, and saw that the emperor was rare and leisurely, and his heart was even more happy, chattering, and talking all the way.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked his daughter: "What's the matter with your doubts, can you study?" ”

Zhou Hou said: "This girl, I don't know what happened recently, I heard that Wang Douluoyang, Xiangyang Fujie, she smirked all day long, and she didn't read books." ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "When the girl's parents are older, there is always something strange.

The two chatted casually, and before they knew it, Emperor Chongzhen's mind turned to the war in Jinzhou.

The seventh day of the third month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641).

The armies gathered in Xiangyang for a long time, when Luo Rucai rushed into Henan, entered Ying, Huoshan, and joined the five battalions of Gezuo. If you attack Cao and the thieves, you will need Huguang, Henan, and Nanzhili provinces to outflank and outflank them. …,

At that time, the supervisor Yang Yichang was seriously ill and could not be a director, and Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang, supervised the army and could not serve the public.

At this time, Yang Juan Chang felt that his death was not far away, and he sacrificed the thief to death, and his only wish was to look forward to the holy decree. There are still thieves who have not yet been eliminated, and someone needs to take over the position of his supervisor, the shadow of Ding Qirui and Fu Zonglong flashed in his mind, and finally decided to recommend Ding Qirui, the governor of Shaanxi Trilateral, to the imperial court.

These days, in the brocade couch, when he can move, he writes and describes the next strategy to suppress thieves, and sighs again, he can't see the day when "sweeping the atmosphere of the thief will be ...... from now on". Every time at this time, he was sad and felt that he had failed the emperor's expectations.

On the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, he was meditating in front of the bed, and suddenly saw his son Yang Shansong hurriedly coming in, with a joy on his face that could not be concealed, he walked to the couch and said in a low voice: "My lord, the sentry has come to report, the angel has arrived." ”

Yang Sichang's eyes immediately lit up: "Has the holy decree come?" ”

The army inside and outside Xiangyang City received the order of the superintendent and gathered the army in the eastern suburbs, because the angel wanted to read the emperor's will in front of the whole army.

Hearing that the holy decree was coming, and then there was the order of the superintendent, Wang Dou, Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, Fierce as a Tiger, Sun Anyuan, Huang Degong and others all selected their most elite troops to line up in the teaching field, and for a time the eastern suburbs were gathered.

When the news came out, the people of Xiangyang City watched it as much as possible, and the surrounding area of the church was crowded with people.

The eunuchs Liu and Lu Jiude, the governor of Huguang Song Yihe, the superintendent of the army Wan Yuanji, and the deputy envoy of the Xiangyang military garrison Zhang Kejian were all present, the civil officials were in the front, the military attachés were in the back, and they were all listed under the military platform. Yang Kechang was seriously ill and couldn't walk, so he was only carried on a brocade couch, lying on the bed with his eyes closed and recuperating, and the staff around him paid attention to him from time to time.

At the time of the ox, the angel arrived, but it was a middle-aged eunuch with a dark expression, surrounded by a large group of small eunuchs, brocade guards, Beijing camp soldiers, etc. On the side, it was Wang Chengzeng, the prefect of Xiangyang, who nodded and bowed, and was led in all the way by the officials of Xiangyang.

Walking on the stage, seeing the incense table placed under the stage, all the officials standing, the whole army standing, and the angel nodded with satisfaction.

His eyes swept over the stage, but when he saw Yang Huchang who was not in human shape on the brocade couch, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly walked off the stage, and said with concern: "Old man, how can you be so seriously ill?" ”

Yang Sichang said: "Princess, I'...... I ......"

Struggling to stay and give gifts, the angel's face was worried, and he sighed: "The emperor has heard that you are seriously ill and has been concerned, if you see the governor so ......"

He said, "The old gentleman will lie down on the couch and receive the order." ”

Yang Sichang said: "No...... No, quickly, help me down......"

He struggled to get up, and the staff beside him, who had to help him stay.

The angel sighed, walked on the high stage of performing martial arts, took a brocade box wrapped in yellow silk from the eunuch beside him, and took out the yellow silk holy decree from the box, and shouted: "Supervisor Yang Sichang takes the decree!" ”

Yang Huchang knelt down tremblingly: "Minister...... Yang Sichang took the order. ”

The angel sang: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: ...... The saint is the sect of the Gangchang, and he will demonstrate the righteousness of rebellion and evil. Shi Weiqin admires the way of heaven, so he agrees with public opinion. Today, the truth is not mixed, the evil of the Zhang family has been realized, and the people of heaven and the people are clear, and it is clear that it cannot be hidden. Yuan evil is eliminated, and he is now greatly promoted, and the supervisor Yang Huchang has made outstanding achievements, and he has added his prince Taibao, and he has been given a crown and a belt, and a brocade ribbon. and 30,000 gold in silver, 500 horses in the red silk table, so that the reward is used, admiration! ”……”

Yang Dianchang walked forward on his knees and choked up: "Minister Yang Juan Chang is grateful." ”

He couldn't cry, the superintendent Wan Yuanji, his son Yang Shansong, and many staff members were also very excited, only Zuo Liangyu and others were secretly jealous.

The angel handed the holy decree to Yang Juanchang and said, "Quickly help the old gentleman up." ”…,

There were all kinds of rewards, and Yang Sichang's son Yang Shansong accepted them on behalf of his father.

Then the angel shouted: "Xuanfu Town East Road Staff General Wang Dou received the order. ”

Wang Dou came out of the crowd and said calmly: "Minister, Wang Dou takes the order!" ”

The angel paid attention to Wang Dou like a hand, looked at Wang Dou again and again, and read another holy decree.

Wang Dou knelt on the ground and listened, the more he listened, the more shocked his heart became, the emperor's reward was so generous that he didn't expect. Give the army number, the battalion number, and hang the seal of "General Capture", not to mention, the title of earl is very bad.

It is said that since the Zhou Dynasty, China had the system of duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, and five lords, and the Western aristocracy of later generations was only translated according to the ancient Chinese titles. It is only because the Westerners are strong that the world understands better against the Western title system.

The fifth-class title remains unchanged for thousands of years, and when it comes to the Ming Dynasty, only the duke, marquis, and the third rank are left, and the son and the second male are removed. Not to mention the return of the iron coupon, this is a hereditary knighthood, not a rogue knighthood, a rare glory.

On the contrary, it is nothing to promote himself as the chief soldier of the Xuanfu Town Regiment Training, at this time there are many general soldiers in the towns of the Ming Dynasty, such as Liaodong Town, there are Ningyuan Regiment Training Chief Officers, Liaodong General Soldiers, Liaodong Forward General Soldiers, Jinzhou General Soldiers and so on.

Not to mention that Wang Dou was in a trance, everyone in the field was also stunned, fierce as a tiger, Zhang Yingyuan, Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and others Although they were jealous, they were still happy for Wang Dou.

He Renlong's expression was very complicated, and Liu and Zuo Liangyu and the others were even more blushing, and their hearts were full of fear and jealousy. It's not fair, listen to the holy decree, they will reward a maximum of two pieces of silver and cloth, and this lucky man will be crowned, the conscience of heaven and earth, it is really unfair.

Song Yihe, Wan Yuanji, Zhang Kejian and other civil officials also looked at Wang Dou, with a look of envy on their faces, and the soldiers of the Shunxiang Army on the field were even more ecstatic.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Wang Dou took the holy decree and handed it over to Xie Yike and others, and there were iron coupons, which are also known as Danshu, which is the origin of Danshu iron coupons.

He also gave a python robe and jade belt, and the python suit had a five-clawed dragon pattern, which was very similar to the dragon decay suit worn by the emperor. It can be described as a great honor to be able to get the python suit, and Yang Tongchang, Xue Guoguan and others have been rewarded by the python suit. The emperor's move represents Wang Dou's status in his heart, which has been on par with Yang Sichang and others.

There are also governors' uniform waist cards, etc., this waist card is made of ivory jade, the highest benevolent name, there is the ornament of Dulong Panyun, and it is worn by the prince, the marquis, the uncle, and the governor.

When he was a thousand households, Wang Dou thought about when he could get a Renzi waist card, but he didn't expect that there would be such a day. ）
