The reaction of the so-called "Songshan Great Victory" in Beijing City is far less than the sensation of the "Ningyuan Great Victory" of that year, although the beheading level is almost the same, but Shi Dayong does not have such great feats as "severely invading the Nu Chief", and in addition, the Nu Chief Nurha Chiqin led tens of thousands of troops to storm a lonely city in Ningyuan, and the momentum alone is much more terrifying than the thousands of Jiannu encountered under the Dalinghe City.

In addition, the adults of the imperial court thought that Ning Yuan would be lost, and Jiannu would definitely drive straight into the Shanhai Pass, and the Jingshi had already imposed martial law, and the holy decrees of King Qin in various places were also sealed, but Yuan Chonghuan miraculously kept Ningyuan City, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Although the price was a little bigger, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island were slaughtered by Jiannu, no matter how you say it, the slave chieftains also withdrew their troops in a hurry. If the slave chief withdraws his troops, Shanhaiguan will be safe, Shanhaiguan will be in no danger, and the Jingshi will naturally be safe, so how can it not be regarded as a great victory!

At that time, it was really a sensation in the government and the opposition, everyone was surprised, and everyone praised that Yuan Chonghuan was a good general who could not be born in the world, and the pillar of optimus outside the Ming Pass, and the restoration of Liao was just around the corner.

Even the imperial historians who have always been the most disdainful of others' meritorious service have collectively turned around, praising Yuan Chonghuan's recital to the Emperor of the Apocalypse is really flying into the inner hall like snowflakes, of course, each recital without exception indicates that the greatest hero of Ning Yuan's great victory is the close attendant of the Son of Heaven - the nine-thousand-year-old Duke of Wei!

Gonggong Wei, who had a false alarm, would not let go of such a famous move, so the government and the opposition started together, and this "Ning Yuan great victory" could not be imagined if it was not a big victory, and Yuan Chonghuan could not think of the limelight.

And the battle that took place under Dalinghe City was completely an encounter battle, far less eye-catching than the Battle of Ningyuan, and no one knew in advance that there would be this battle in Lu Dao. How can the officials of the imperial court feel that this is really a great victory comparable to the battle of Ningyuan?

Of course, Zu Dashou can lead his troops to behead more than 200 results, which is indeed exciting, after all, the fight against Jiannu is a rebellion, and it is a minority to be able to kill so many enemy soldiers in a battle, but in the eyes of the court officials, no matter how you boast about the battle of Songshan, to the imperial court, this can only be defined by a sentence "The generals work together, work together from top to bottom, and lead to this great victory", and it is impossible to hype it up as it was back then.

This can't be blamed on the officials in the Beijing division for looking at the "Songshan Victory" so much, and it seems that this battle has any great significance to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor, and them.

One did not kill the generals to capture the flag, the second did not regain the lost territory, and the third did not gather to attack Jiannu, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a bit too high to call it a great victory like Ning Yuan.

Put aside the opinions of the officials first, and you can talk about the people, the people will definitely be happy when they hear that it is a great victory, but then ask how many Tartars have been killed, how will the people answer. If you answer that there are only more than 200 captives in the north and in the east, then the people still don't scold their mothers: "What kind of bullshit victory is this?" You dare to call it a great victory after only killing 200 Tartars, and this soldier is too fucking to put gold on his face, right? I think that when Wanli Ye was there, our Ming Dynasty killed more than 100,000 Japanese invaders in North Korea, and it was useless for this army to return to the dynasty, but now it is good, and I dare to call it a great victory after cutting off two hundred heads, is it possible that our Ming Dynasty is really not as good as a day now? ”

Although there were very few beheadings in the battle of Ningyuan, after all, the slave chieftain did lead a large army, no more than Songshan, which was only against Jiannu with two yellow and red flags, plus the elite of the blue flag that Zu Dashou said, it was only four or five thousand people, and the momentum was really incomparable, and this great victory really couldn't be called.

On that day, the fast horses sent by Zu Dashou and Qiu Hejia to Beijing to report the victory were straight to the Huiji Gate, and the goal was very clear - to go straight to the emperor, and the cabinet did not know until the next day when the celebrant came to inform him.

Not to mention whether Shoufu Zhou Yanru was dissatisfied with Zuqiu and the two of them crossing him, the individual army department was still quite dissatisfied with Liaodong's failure to act in accordance with the regulations, and Shangshu Liang Tingdong's face was cold at that time.

However, the officials are as excited as Emperor Chongzhen, two years ago Jiannu rampaged in Gyeonggi, such as into no one's fierce appearance still makes them remember it vividly, although there is no big war outside the customs in the past two years, but Jiannu attacked North Korea and Mongolia, and made a lot of trouble, but the Ming Dynasty was helpless, it was really a bit embarrassing.

Now it's okay, it's finally a battle, the military department has passed the first level, and they are all real Tartars, why don't you make people happy?

The Ministry of Rites praised the victory of Liaodong by Wang Hua as the first to praise the victory, and then there were criminal departments to Zheng Tai, to the anniversary of the matter and others to follow, and then all the departments were to the matter, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was even more energetic, that Liaodong Governor Qiu Hejia was their colleague, and he was a good man, how could they not help as colleagues!

For a time, the officials all took action to applaud the "great victory of Matsuyama", but all the performances were suppressed by the cabinet without exception.

Suppressing the official performance is not the meaning of the first assistant Zhou Yanru, but the meaning of the second assistant Wen Tiren.

It is said that after receiving the Shangshu of Wang Hua in the matter of Like, Wen Tiren said to Zhou Yanru: "Not only that, no matter who applauds the Battle of Songshan in the future, the cabinet should be suppressed and not handed over." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru naturally wondered: "Why is this?" Since it is a victory, it is natural to praise more, one is exciting, the second is to comfort the soldiers of Liaodong, and the third is to make the emperor happy, such a good thing, but it is impossible to meet, why should Changqing suppress it? ”

Wen Tiren smiled, shook his head and said: "Since the beginning of the Wanli year, the Liao affairs have been more bad news than good news, and there are countless losses of land and people, and the imperial court has spent a lot of money to raise soldiers, but the soldiers do not know how to fight bravely, so that Chongzhen has changed dramatically in the second year. Today, Sun inherited the suzerain's affairs, and proposed to work step by step, steadily and steadily, and slowly recover. Da Ling River City began to be repaired in May, before and after three times, each time it was built, Jiannu will raise troops to destroy, in my opinion, this time can not be avoided, I am afraid that the army of Jiannu will come to Da Linghe in ten days. If we publicize this great victory in Songshan with great fanfare at this time, let me ask, if Zu Dashou is defeated by the Jiannu army, how will the cabinet deal with the aftermath? ”

"This..."Zhou Yanru fell silent.

"The emperor is young and vigorous, and when he first hears the good news, he is naturally overjoyed, but if this bad news follows, he is afraid"

What are you afraid of, Wen Tiren didn't say.

Zhou Yanru naturally understood what Wen Tiren wanted to say, and nodded slightly: "Then according to Changqing, how can the cabinet deal with it so that both parties can explain the past?" ”

Wen Tiren said with a smile: "The cabinet doesn't need to act, the reward promised by the emperor will naturally be issued, but that's all, it's best if this thing doesn't happen." Whether the officials make trouble or not, we should not hear it. According to me, Shoufu still thinks about who can do the good for Sun Chengzong. ”

Well?

Hearing this, a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in Zhou Yanru's eyes, and he immediately pretended to be sad, and said in a deep voice: "I hope that Zu Dashou will live up to the emperor's order, and there can be no more losses in Liao affairs. ”

Hearing Zhou Yanru's words, Wen Tiren pretended to glance at him casually and didn't say anything.
