Zhu Youcheng did not bring the soldiers into the city. Cangzhou is a small city after all, and there are enough soldiers in the city, so there is no open space to camp. Anyway, the weather is not too cold, so Zhu Youcheng set up the camp next to the north gate of Cangzhou, which can be regarded as guarding the north gate.

The gates of Cangzhou, which had not been opened for a long time, were finally opened, and the people who had taken refuge in the city returned to their homes one after another, and they couldn't help but let out a loud cry of grief. It turned out that when they returned home, their relatives who had not had time to hide had been slaughtered by bandits, and many people's houses had been destroyed. It's really everyone who is sad, and every household wears filial piety.

Hearing the cry, many Jinyiwei who felt a little guilty because of too much killing swept away the apologies in their hearts, Lord Zhu was right, punishing evil is promoting good, if you don't kill these beasts that don't produce anything, they will only destroy, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?

In the prefect's yamen, Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping were settling accounts. Cangzhou City is now preserved, and it has to report to the imperial court, but it is a trouble to share how much of the battle merits from this battle. divided a lot, Zhu Youcheng was dissatisfied, and these two people had to be unlucky. Thinking about the scary official titles on Zhu Youcheng's body, taking one out at random is enough for these two to drink a pot. Although Xu Ruzhi is the prefect, he is the prefect of a state under the administration of Hejian Prefecture, although it is one level older than Qipinzhi County, but for the Beijing official, he is only a sesame mung bean official. offended Zhu Youcheng, then prepare to go home and eat old rice. I got less, and I was a little unwilling. Zhu Youcheng has already made it clear that he will share some of his military exploits with himself, wouldn't it be a fool not to do that?

The two gritted their teeth and gritted their feet, and finally reported a huge number—fifty killed and fifty captured. It's already quite a lot, and they basically didn't do much, just went out to tie people up. There are too many points, Zhu Youcheng is not in a hurry, and the arrogant generals under him also have to be in a hurry.

After a while, Zhu Youcheng led King Xin, Chen Guoqi, Wu Huping, and Ke Qingqing to the banquet.

Xu Ruzhi handed Zhu Youcheng the chapter of the report and said, "Please champion Lang Yazheng." ”

The meaning of asking Zhuangyuan Lang Yazheng is to ask Zhu Youcheng to help him revise the music, but since ancient times, literati have been light. He didn't have the heart to ask Zhu Youcheng to help him change his composition, but just asked him euphemistically if it was okay to report his military exploits like this.

Zhu You sincerely comprehended, took the concerto, read it at a glance and ten lines, put the concerto on the coffee table, and said, "It seems inappropriate to report the merits of the war like this." ”

Lu Ping's heart was gloomy, he wanted to report that the battle exploits were not all for himself, and he sacrificed a lot of soldiers when defending the city. The pension of the Ming Dynasty is not high, so report more military exploits, and the court will give a bounty, so as to help the lives of the bereaved families.

Xu Ruzhi smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my hand is a little shaky, it's not that I killed fifty enemies and captured fifty enemies, but killed and captured fifty enemies in total." ”

Zhu Youcheng shook his head again.

"So twenty?"

Zhu Youcheng still shook his head.

"Ten?"

Zhu Youcheng saw that Xu Ruzhi was like a hawker. couldn't help but be a little amused, and said, "Lord Xu seems to have forgotten one thing. You have been holding on to the lonely city for more than half a month, how can you kill thousands of enemies, how can you forget about this matter when you report the victory. ”

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping looked at each other and smiled, patronizing to take advantage of Zhu Youcheng, and even forgot the credit that belonged to them. That's quite a feat.

"As for today—"

Zhu Youcheng dragged out his voice, and Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping's hearts were raised.

"The prefect Xu Ruzhi and the garrison Lu Ping saw that reinforcements were coming, and they joined forces with the outside and fought bravely to kill the enemy, killing a total of 73o2 enemies. 7,739 enemies were captured. ”

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping were both stunned, almost thinking that their ears had heard it wrong. Such a great military achievement, let alone a pension for the bereaved family, even if it is the money to rebuild Cangzhou.

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping are very grateful.

Zhu Youcheng also asked the two to engrave the list of fallen soldiers on a bronze plaque, and prepare to bring it to Beijing after the Cangzhou Rebellion was over, and enshrine it in the Ming Warrior Temple.

At the moment, Xu Ruzhi's recital and Zhu Youcheng's report on the success of the document were sent to Beijing in an urgent 600-mile manner. When Zhu Youcheng led the Jinyi Guard south, it took five days to rush from Beijing to Cangzhou. The report document is 600 miles to step up, the person who delivers the letter, every time he arrives at a post station, he will change to a fast horse, so that the change of horses does not change people, the degree is much faster than a single horse, it took less than a day to send the letter to the military department.

The military department Shangshu Gao estimated that Zhu Youcheng should have arrived in Cangzhou now, maybe he had already entered the city, joined the Cangzhou defenders, and with the help of the fortified city, consumed the vitality of the chaotic people. After all, the chaos is so great that it is impossible to extinguish it quickly without heavy troops.

Hearing that the Cangzhou post guard had sent an urgent report, Gao first slumped in his chair all of a sudden. It's over, Zhu Youcheng is defeated. As soon as I arrived in Cangzhou, I sent an urgent report for two reasons, one was cowardice and asked to withdraw from the army. Although Zhu Youcheng is a bit of a scoundrel, he is also a champion of both civil and military affairs, and he took the initiative to ask for help, so he is unlikely to be afraid. The second is a rout, asking for reinforcements. Most wars are protracted, and it is common to fight casually for a month or two, or even years. How could anyone send an urgent report of 600 miles to the military headquarters as soon as the war began. Eighty percent of Zhu Youcheng attacked the enemy lightly and was ambushed by the enemy. The reason why Gao Di was reluctant to lend the tiger squat cannon to Zhu Youcheng was that he was afraid that he would fail and the artillery would fall into the hands of the enemy.

The post guard was under the hall and reported loudly: "Lord Qiqi Ministry, Cangzhou has sent good news!" ”

Gaudi said listlessly, "Present it." ”

He suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "What?" ”

The postman stepped forward, took out two copies of the book from the poster bag and put them on the bookcase, and replied, "Good news." Written by Lord Xu, the prefect of Cangzhou, and Lord Zhu, the envoy of Jinyi Weixi Town, Fu Si. ”

The fact that two people wrote a good news at the same time proved that there was really a great victory at the front, and it could not be made up.

Gao Di hurriedly opened Xu Ruzhi's recital, don't read it, and was stunned by the tragedy of the Cangzhou defense battle and the number of military exploits behind, especially when he saw that the battle to break the siege only took half a day, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Demon!" ”

Gao Di opened Zhu Youcheng's recital again. Zhu Youcheng's recital is very long, and the first part is to analyze the reasons why the uprising is huge. It is said that the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and the space of many bandits and bandits has been extremely compressed, and they do not get involved in the mud, and everyone sees hope and tries to rob a lot of money, so they gather together to form a robbery gang of more than 50,000 people. The middle part details the significance of defeating the non-muddy gang, one of which is to let the people of the Ming Dynasty see the combat strength of the army and deter those with bad intentions. The second is that the mud-free gang has attracted bandits from Beizhili, Henan, Shandong, and other places, and defeating the mud-sticking is equivalent to exterminating the bandits in these three provinces, and these three provinces will certainly be relatively peaceful in the future. The latter part describes the course of the battle in detail, and of course the section "Breezed Rifling Firebolts" uses Spring and Autumn penmanship. The full text is reasonable, there is tension and relaxation, and Gao Di can't help but see it as a mystery.

Gao Di was amazed, took the concerto, and went into the Forbidden City to find the emperor to report the good news. (To be continued!)
