Chapter 430: The Standing of the First Nine Sides

The news of the victory in the battle of Zhenjiang Fort has spread far and wide.

The battle of Zhenjiang Fort has already become the talk of the people of the Ming Dynasty after dinner, these days, the Beijing division has been spreading the news about Zhenjiang Fort, the authenticity of the news, has been confusing, people will be suspicious, until today, from Tianjin rushed over the fast horse flying, only to completely confirm this matter, the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, the Ming Dynasty not only won, but also won quite beautifully, it is said that just the enemy's head, it was transported by a boat.

In fact, Yang Reform is almost the entire Beijing Division, the last group of people to know the news, for this kind of great victory, the delivery of news, there has always been no tradition of secrecy, all the way to show off, this kind of great victory, the news has not yet entered Beijing, has spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.

As early as a few days ago, Yang Reform estimated that he won the battle of Zhenjiang Fort this time, not for anything else, just from the recent dreaming situation, Yang Reform knew that he won, perhaps because of telepathy, or for other reasons, as early as a few days ago, Yang Reform ended the habit of having nightmares at night, and he could sleep peacefully every night, Yang Reform believed that he could win this war, and then from the news from the previous two days, the direction of Zhenjiang Fort, there were indeed signs of rain, and Yang Reform believed that it was even more believing, and won by himself.

Today, when the news arrived in Beijing, it was already afternoon, and Yang Reform was already resting.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Wang Chengen, who received the conclusive news, didn't care about anything, and rushed in with the news.

"Oh, what's the matter? Otomo, why are you in such a hurry? Yang Reform was relaxing, and when he heard Wang Chengen shouting, he thought something big had happened, and when he saw Wang Chengen's face with joy, he put his mind at ease, it was not a bad thing, it was a good thing.

"Your Majesty, a great victory,...... The great victory, the great victory of Zhenjiang Fort, the reinforcements were finally sent, and the Tartars lost this time......" Wang Chengen smiled and reported the news.

"Oh really, sent in?" Yang Reform immediately stood up and asked in surprise, although Yang Reform has always believed that his feelings are right in the past few days, but he has not received the real battle report, Yang Reform is still a little worried, and now when he hears the good news from the front line, the anxiety in his heart has finally settled down.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true, not only did I send things in, but I also took advantage of this wind and rain to completely defeat the morale of Dongyu,...... Your Majesty, taking this opportunity, I also sent back a boatload of human heads, many of which are Stutars......" Wang Chengen said happily, and only lowered his voice when he said the last boat's head.

"A boatload of heads?" Yang Reform is inexplicable, victorious, it will not be a boat head, use a boat as a unit, how many heads does this have, the Ming Dynasty used the head as a certificate of merit, but this is too quickly exaggerated.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, this newspaper does say that there is a boatload of heads...... "Wang Chengen said in a loud voice, and then sent the newspaper up.

Yang Reform suspiciously took the report, looked at it, the report was very thick, the record was very detailed, a process of borrowing rain, a process of landing and reinforcements, all recorded, including many details, as for the origin of the head of the boat, there are also records in it, there are thousands of Tartar heads, and the rest are the heads of the Koreans, the heads of the so-called "Korean Righteous Army", think about it again, Yang Reform has understood what this so-called "Korean Righteous Army" is about, Isn't it the wild boar skin that caught the grenades that the Koreans used to consume Zhenjiang Fort, a boatload of heads, most of which were Koreans, it can be seen that the battle situation at that time was quite jī fierce, Yang Reform Fang Buddha saw the scene of the siege all night long, as if he saw the smoke and rain, the team pulling fiber in the rain.

After reading the report, Yang Reform has already understood the entire process of the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, and has gone through the entire battle process in his mind, feeling that it is very dangerous for him to win this battle, and if it is a day or two later, the result may not be like this, but fortunately, now he has won. Although now the wild boar skin seems to be around Zhenjiang Fort, but Yang Reform believes that it is insignificant, so favorable to the timing of wild boar skin, wild boar skin has not won, not to mention the cold winter season, to the cold winter season, wild boar skin don't want to dig a pit on the ground, in the season of heavy snow to close the mountain, it is difficult to walk, not to mention the siege of the city, it is better to rely on Zhenjiang Fort to avoid the wind and snow, it is better to say that it is frozen in the field, Zhenjiang Fort has a city to rely on, a set of new cotton clothes, a chuáng quilt, I believe that I can have a warm winter, and I am not afraid of wild boar skins in the barren mountains and wilderness. ,

"Okay ha......" Yang Reform read the report, shouted good, and then laughed, now his most lacking military victory, finally came as he wished, then, what is left is to transform this military victory into his own military prestige, with military prestige, he wants to "do things", it is much more reliable, he wants to establish authority, Yang Reform secretly to.

"Immediately summon the Wenhua Palace, all relevant people must be present, and I will announce this news to the world...... Hahaha...... "Yang Reform is very proud, and he can't wait to tell everyone in the world the news immediately, his goal is getting closer and closer."

"Obey, the slave will go ......" Wang Chengen smiled and agreed.

……

The news of the victory in the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, with the arrival of the fast horse, has already spread throughout the Beijing Division.

Hearing that the emperor suddenly summoned at this hour, the ministers who received the summons all knew what they were doing this time.

"Congratulations, congratulations,......"

"Congratulations, congratulations......"

The ministers who had already arrived early were already congratulating each other, no matter what, this was a great victory that could be excited by the whole country, and the happiest was Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Although it was not he who led the victory of Zhenjiang Fort, but, no matter what, he was the secretary of the military department, and he always had to be polished in military victories.

"Congratulations, congratulations......" Liu Yanyuan blushed, and couldn't stop congratulating each other with his colleagues, how could he not be happy about such a big victory in his tenure? Although it doesn't have much to do with him, the credit can't be run, and if there are a few more such big victories, then it is not impossible for him to win the cabinet.

"Lord Liu, this battle of Zhenjiang Fort, but my Ming Dynasty has rarely won a big victory in recent years, I heard that there is a ship's head of the owner, is this true?" A minister congratulated Liu Yanyuan, and then inquired about the inside story.

Seeing that someone inquired about the inside story, everyone also stretched out their ears and listened carefully, inquiring about the inside information in the court, and communicating with each other, this is the best time.

"Hehehe, the news that Master Zhang heard there, this news is a bit fake...... Liu Yanyuan said with a smile as if he was drunk, blushing.

"Lord Liu, this Jingshi has spread all over the world, but it's not Zhang ......who is talking nonsense," Lord Zhang, who inquired about the inside information, immediately said.

"Uh......, hey, hey, don't hide it from Lord Zhang, Dongyu does have some heads, but if you want to talk about a boat, then there are some ......, hehehe, this matter, wait a while, you will know, presumably Your Majesty will say it clearly......" Liu Yanyuan is very satisfied with the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is very attentive to the war, and he is also very attentive to the war outside the Guan, and he runs to the platform when he has nothing to do, so he knows how far the battle will go, and he doesn't dare to agree with the rumored matter of the head of a shipholder, but he also knows, There must be a group of heads, because the military department has already sent someone to examine the autopsy.

Many people are obviously dissatisfied with this inside information about the military department's Shangshu.

"Hmph, what a big victory, it's just a whitewash, is Dongyu's head so good? There is also a boatload of heads, and I think this is eighty percent fake......" said a minister disdainfully.

There are some people who support this minister's point of view, but there are not many, and more ministers are calculating the truth of this matter in their own hearts, and many ministers are also "advancing with the times", they have seen the sand table, they have seen the sand table simulation war, and they have seen the power of hand grenades. Many people believe in the head of Máo Wenlong nòng to Dongyu, but it is only a matter of how much.

The minister, who suspected that it was false news, finished speaking, but saw that there were not many people who supported him, and more people buried their heads in it, as if they were doing something else, which made the minister very unhappy.

"Hmph......" flicked his sleeves again, looking like you were all idiots, and the originally festive scene became dull.

……

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......," a shrill voice of a eunuch broke the silence.

“…… Long live my emperor, long live, long live......" The ministers hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Yang Gai went straight into the Wenhua Palace, sat down firmly on the chair, and then said, "Hehe, get up......"

The emperor's happiness was written on his face, and all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that today is indeed the case, otherwise, the emperor would not have summoned people to the Wenhua Hall at this hour. ,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Then the ministers got up.

"It's so late today, and I'm calling you here, I guess everyone knows what's going on, right?" Yang Gengai asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, but Zhenjiang Fort is a big victory?" Shoufu Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up, and this time, Shi Fenglai believed that he was not wrong.

"Hehehe, exactly, the battle of Zhenjiang Fort can be called a great victory, now the reinforcements have been sent to Zhenjiang Fort, the arrogance of the Dongyu has been beaten down, the morale of the Dongyu has been beaten down, and now the soldiers of Zhenjiang Fort are full of food, the ammunition is abundant, and there are hundreds of mén cannons to cheer on, so this battle of Zhenjiang Fort, I won the Ming Dynasty, it can be called a great victory" Yang Gai announced happily. When he said hundreds of cannons, there was something strange in his heart, these two xiǎo sons, the courage is also big, his own reinforcement list, but there are not so many cannons, he actually dares to dismantle the cannon on the battleship and send it to Zhenjiang Fort, this courage is not ordinary, although Yang Reform is ruined, but, Yang Reform likes this kind of person who can make decisions on the spot, not a guy who is rigid in everything, from the perspective of the entire battle situation, Zhenjiang Fort is the eye of the formation, as long as Zhenjiang Fort does not lose, it has been nailed there, On the whole strategy, I won.

The ministers listened to the emperor's words and stared, when did there be more than a hundred cannons? All in Zhenjiang Fort? This is too terrifying, and now the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty doesn't have so many cannons.

"Your Majesty, those cannons, but they are all Hongyi cannons?" An official was dumbfounded when he heard this, when did the emperor enter Zhenjiang Fort with hundreds of cannons? If it's all Hongyi cannons, it's too terrible, and if so, then if you want to say that you have beaten the Tartars with a gray face, if you want to say that there are many heads, they believe it.

"Hehe, this Qing family, hundreds of mén cannons, talking about cannons above the thousand-jin franc machine, including the Hongyi cannon, all kinds of cannons below the thousand-jin franc machine, it is not a ......" Yang Reform said with a smile, to be honest, it is not his own idea to give Zhenjiang Fort nòng hundreds of mén cannons.

The ministers were dumbfounded, their mouths and eyes were crooked, this is really crazy, no wonder the emperor said that the arrogance of beating the Tartars was completely lost, and there was no morale at all, who could stand it when encountering so many cannons? Jinning won a great victory that year, but there were only 20 mén cannons, as soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone had no doubts about this great victory.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......"

"God bless me...... Congratulations to Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty is wise...... Your Majesty Shenwu ......"

The ministers began to fart, and since the victory was real, then it was the established procedure to fart.

"Hehe, okay, everyone, I have good news here, let's take a look first, and rejoice with me." Yang Reform couldn't stand so much sycophancy, so he took out the good news and let everyone pass it on.

The ministers took the good news again, and looked at it carefully, and many ministers, seeing the fierce part of the war, couldn't help but shout hello.

……

The good news was quickly passed around.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......" is another round of sycophants.

After reading the good news, its detailed combat process, although usual, but also real, very immersive feeling, by this time, a little common sense of the minister, have confirmed that this victory is real, there is no water.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say......" A shrill voice appeared in the court.

Yang Gai looked at a strange minister and asked, "What's the matter with the Qing family?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the head of the North Korean people pretending to be the head of the Dongyu is killing the good and risking the merit, and the responsibility of the Máo Wenlong Department should be strictly investigated, Your Majesty, North Korea is a country not to be conquered by Taizu, and it has always been a vassal of our dynasty, and it has always been filial, and now, we have killed so many of them and risked merit, and we are still complacent, Your Majesty, if the lord of North Korea comes to ask, how should my dynasty answer? Do you have a face? A minister said indignantly.

When Yang Reform heard this, he felt irritable, and he was in a good mood, so he broke it like this, this court is really anyone. They will spray feces all day long, and no matter how many North Koreans die, it is not my own bird business that I drove them to Zhenjiang Fort to die.

As soon as the minister finished speaking, another helper came from the side and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Wu is right, most of the heads of this boat are Koreans, Your Majesty, it should be strictly investigated, otherwise, military discipline will be corrupted, national law will be weakened, and the reputation of my Ming Dynasty will be ruined......"

Many ministers looked sideways at these ministers, if this great victory was according to these two people, it would be a heinous one, more serious than the defeat and look at the emperor again, everyone had a good look at the expression. ,

"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree." Liu Yanyuan was the first to stand up, if this big victory deteriorated, he couldn't run away first, not to mention the credit in hand, and he had to be punished, Liu Yanyuan naturally refused.

"Oh, tell me." Yang reformed.

"Your Majesty, although North Korea is a vassal country of our dynasty, it is also a head and a rat at both ends, last year, I also made peace with Houjin, sent grain and grass materials to Houjin, and assisted Houjin to fight my Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty, is this a subject country to do? For the sake of North Korea, our DPRK has supported North Korea several times, killing and wounding tens of thousands of people and spending tens of millions of silver, what is the result? Your Majesty, according to the ministers, our dynasty wants to hold the DPRK accountable for organizing the rebel army to assist the Dongyu, and we want to ask the lord of the DPRK, as a minister and a vassal, why don't you be loyal to our dynasty, but do this kind of thing to assist the Dongyu to fight our dynasty...... "Liu Yanyuan naturally refuses to let others pour feces on his head, since someone talks about North Korea, then he is not ambiguous, and he also talks about North Korea.

"You ......"

"......" The ministers who spoke for the DPRK just now were very angry.

The ministers laughed even more, laughing at those people, this great victory, no matter what, is also a great victory, and there is no moisture, those of them who stand in the court, after all, they are still stained, if you give you a few nòng black, not to mention the light on your face, you have to be hanged, and even some people have to lose their officials, this can't be done.

Yang Reform secretly said yes, this statement is really sharp.

"Okay, let's talk about this matter, I can say that I did my best in Korea, bleeding and dying, and even put in tens of millions of taels of silver, this is a fact; But what about North Korea? Now it is a brotherly alliance with Houjin, this matter is indeed a problem, although the first emperor said to bypass them, but I feel that it is really necessary to ask the lord of Korea, if necessary, I will claim compensation,...... For the matter of this boatload of heads, in addition to the real Tartar heads, the Korean heads, just forget it...... "Yang Reform followed these words, and this matter was settled, although those people still wanted to say something, but the Koreans were not counted in the war exploits, this is also a step, and the face has been earned, so I have to swallow this breath, looking at the people in the court who are not good to themselves, and if they continue to talk, they are afraid of the anger of the people.

As for what the emperor said, many people didn't understand it at all, or they heard it vaguely, or they thought that the emperor was laughing, and they didn't take it to heart at all.

"Well, there's one more important thing about this head, and I want to talk about it." Yang Gai looked around the hall and decided to do the most important thing, that is, Liwei. By the head, by this military victory, he established his authority, established his authority in front of the courtiers, and established his authority in the border passes, the border army, and the Beijing camp.

The ministers waited for the emperor solemnly, to see if something big was going to happen, and looked at the emperor's face, which was very serious.

"I remember, in the past, I fought with the Eastern Prisoners, and I lost very badly, it seems that a minister was rumored to be the head of the Nine Sides, right? Is there such a thing? Yang asked reform.

There was silence in the court, and the faces of the courtiers instantly became extremely ugly, and many of them were familiar with the people who passed the head of the nine sides back then, and they didn't know what the emperor was mentioning this for, it was definitely not a good thing.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is asking Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Feibai?" Shi Fenglai's microphone had to come out to respond, and no one replied to the emperor's words in the middle of the ring, he really couldn't resist.

"Oh, I remember it's him." Yang Gai pretended to say.

“…… Your Majesty, in fact, it was not entirely to blame for this incident back then...... "Someone came out to intercede for Xiong Tingbi at the moment, this matter is indeed very complicated, speaking of which, Xiong Tingbi should not go to the first nine sides of the legend so miserably."

"I don't want to overturn the case for Xiong Tingbi today, and I don't want the dregs to rise, I just want to say that back then, our dynasty was defeated by the Eastern Emperor, killing and wounding the people, countless officials and soldiers, so that the ministers of our dynasty were passed on the first nine sides, and I will not say it for the time being, this matter, I have always thought that it is a great shame for my dynasty, I have always been obsessed with it, today, I have won a great victory over the Eastern Dynasty, and obtained countless heads, I thought, then it is time for the East to pass on the first nine sides, in order to eliminate the hatred in my heart, to relieve the shame of our dynasty for several years, and also to comfort the soldiers who sacrificed for my Ming Dynasty before, Comfort the people who have died, I have avenged them......" Yang Gengai said in an unusually majestic tone, and his momentum was not allowed to be distinguished.

The ministers were overwhelmed by the emperor's momentum, ...... the emperor said this, and passed on the first nine sides? This, many ministers are blurred.

Some ministers were shocked; Some ministers lamented it; Some ministers wept; Some ministers panicked; Some ministers were afraid, and the atmosphere above the court became silent and terrifying.

Yang Gai looked at the many faces of the ministers below, and was very satisfied in his heart, this is what he wanted. Now what they lack is military prestige, what they lack is the military prestige that can suppress the scene, which must be quite important in the future when "changing the day against fate", now there is a huge military victory, Zhenjiang Fort victory is undoubtedly a huge military victory, how to turn the military victory into military prestige, used to suppress those who have bad intentions, or may have a situation people, the army, undoubtedly, this time to obtain a large number of wild boar skin human heads is a good thing, and there is a pretty good excuse, the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the past, the court officials were sent to the head of the nine sides, in order to appease the responsibility of the defeat; Now, with the great victory of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally more appropriate for the head of the wild boar skin to pass on the first nine sides to spread the victory......
