Zhu Jian saw the great victory of Liaodong that arrived urgently for 800 miles, and then compared the secret fold sent by Lei Zhenjiang and thousands of households in Liaodong Guard, Jinyi Guard, showed a helpless wry smile on his face.

The so-called great victory in Liaodong is a Ming army scout team stationed in Jinzhou City to ambush a scout cavalry team of the Jin army on a snowy day, the Ming army took advantage of the ambush at the beginning, and killed several Jin army scouts, but with the arrival of several Jin army scout scouts nearby, the Ming army scout team immediately turned into the prey to be pursued, even if several Ming army scout teams scouts in the vicinity came to reinforce and were still at a disadvantage, and were chased and cut by the Jin army scouts, and the losses were not small.

The Jinzhou lord was busy sending reinforcements to cover the retreat of the scouts with heavy casualties, but in the process of retreating, a thousand-man Jin army iron cavalry arrived, and the Ming army could only retreat while fighting.

Seeing that the comrades outside the city were in trouble, the guerrilla general Cao Wenzhao took the initiative to ask for battle, led the headquarters out of the city to reinforce, when the Ming army withdrew to the city, the Ming army at the head of the city saw that the Jin army iron cavalry entered the range of the cannon, and immediately opened artillery bombardment, the Ming army at the border of the garrison has begun to equip the use of flowering shells, the power and effect of bombardment of scattered soldiers are much better than solid bullets, the pursuing Jin army cavalry casualties are not small, can only retreat, Hong Chengchou reported the result of the battle is to destroy the enemy more than 630 horsemen, their own casualties of more than 1,000.

Zhu Jian knew in his heart that the Jin Army's iron cavalry was fierce and invincible in the field, and there were countless Ming generals who dared to fight with the Jin Army in the field, and most of them were defeats, and many generals did not even have the courage to fight a battle. However, there is a lot of water here, so at least you have to buckle it.

The Ming army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the Jin army suffered more than 300 casualties, and most of the results were achieved by the lethality of the flowering bomb explosion.

Zhu Jian struggled for a long time, and finally pinched his nose and recognized this great victory, no way, Daming needed a victory to inspire the military and the people, this is a political need, he not only has to cooperate, but also has to publicize it, and at the same time reward the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, and promote them as anti-gold heroes.

Speaking from the heart, as long as you dare to fight with the Jin Army and do not flinch, no matter who you are, they are all true heroes in Zhu Jian's eyes, so this reward, he is not as stingy as his predecessor, he still gives what he should give, and even sealed a bunch of false titles in one go, anyway, the title does not cost him money, he is happy and generous.

According to historical records, Yuan Chonghuan won a battle in Liaodong, Chongzhen rewarded fifty taels of silver, and a number of various Dongdong, which may be empty and troublesome in the treasury, but this reward is too generous, it is better not to reward it.

In addition to political needs, this great victory also happened to transfer the famous general Cao Wenzhao back and promote him to deputy commander-in-chief, which was temporarily arranged on Lu Xiangsheng's side to help him organize the Tianxiong army.

Zhu Jian had an idea in his heart, a famous general like Cao Wenzhao is even rarer than a national treasure-level giant panda, and one less one must be protected, and he must not be pitted by his pig teammates.

The victory in Liaodong soon spread throughout Beijing, and the people all cheered and celebrated, but there were many doubts in the court, and the civil official group headed by the Donglin Party demanded that people be sent to Liaodong to verify the authenticity of the good news.

It's no wonder that Hong Chengchou was sprayed by the Donglin Party, who made him not a member of the Donglin Party? The greater the credit of Hong Chengchou, the more it affects their plans. Yuan Chonghuan has joined the Donglin Party under the persuasion of Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, and he often expresses his views on the defense of Liaodong, commenting on some problems of Hong Chengchou presiding over the defense of Liaodong, the purpose is to be the governor of Liaodong, and the Donglin Party of course supports its own people, but the Son of Heaven seems to be deaf and has not heard their shouts, and they will very much hope that Jinyiwei will report these voices to the Son of Heaven.

There are the three major eagle dogs of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the Red Gang, of course Zhu Jian already knew the news, his biggest reaction was just stunned, and then shook his head, when the situation in the Ming Dynasty was erosive, Yuan Chonghuan might still have a chance to take charge of the army, but he joined the Donglin Party, the situation was different, in short, Zhu Jian was really dead to him.

The power of the Donglin Party is already so great that even the Son of Heaven is afraid of it, if they let their people take charge of the military power again, it will be worth it, it is not impossible to be knocked out of power by the Donglin Party guys one day, and it is not impossible to support a puppet emperor, he will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

The Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty did not have the power of dictatorship, and the civilian clique was the existence of the Son of Heaven, even if Zhu Jian needed this political victory, he could not resist the doubts of the Donglin Party, and had to send someone to Liaodong to investigate and confirm the authenticity of the war exploits.

In order to show fairness, Zhu Jian's eunuch Cao Huachun was appointed as the chief envoy, and the Donglin Party and the Ruan civil officials each sent one person as the deputy envoy, and several people who were working in the six departments to form an investigation team, which was escorted by the 3,000 battalions of the forbidden army and went to Liaodong to investigate.

Except for the two deputy envoys of the Donglin Party and the Ruan Department, it can be said that the members of the entire investigation team are all Zhu Jian's people, and those in the six sections were all bought by Jia Yi and joined the Son of Heaven Party, not to mention the eunuch Cao Huachun, Zhu Jian's cronies.

Cao Huachun is the old eunuch who served Zhu Youzhen in the Xinwang Mansion, only because he offended Wei Zhongxian, he was assigned to stay in Nanjing, and after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was recalled to Beijing as soon as possible, and the inner palace supervisor who ranked second in the twenty-four yamen of the inner palace was the great eunuch of Zhangyin, and his ability was much stronger than Gao Qiqian.

The Ming official system, civil officials are higher than military generals, civil officials naturally look down on the martial arts, military generals are also unhappy with civil officials, BS They are powerless, the two groups are natural rivals, Cao Huachun set off, Zhu Jian specially advised, let him take advantage of this contradiction and throw all the pots to the Donglin Party, as for the Ruan civil officials, for the time being, count half an ally, let him improvise.

The most important thing is to bring Cao Wenzhao back, and the other thing is to hand over the more than 20 people who accompanied the team to Lei Zhenjiang, who is a thousand households in Jinyiwei, and at the same time hand over to the eunuch who is in charge of the production of the Liaodong Arsenal, and secretly get a batch of grenades and firearms for Lei Zhenjiang to spare.

I didn't go to Liaodong, I don't know how complicated the situation is there, officials, soldiers, bandits, profiteers, big families, local tyrants collude with each other, the forces of all parties are complicated, plus the Jin army's meticulous spies, etc., Lei Zhenjiang went to take up his post with enthusiasm, but he hit a wall again and again, and also lost some of his subordinates, so that he had to be restrained, cautious, and write to his father Lei Yin for help.

Jin Yiwei is a spy agency, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, specializing in shady things, and has too many secrets in his hands, Lei Zhenjiang does not dare to summon the people over there, and the ghost knows whether the summoned subordinates are the dead agents of a certain party, he is not at ease at all, only with his own people can he rest assured.

Lei Yin received a letter from his son, and only then did he know how complicated the situation in Liaodong was, and he didn't need to report this matter to the Son of Heaven, but he still went to the palace to report Zhu Jian.

Zhu Jian was quite dissatisfied with the attitude of both father and son, and personally wrote a letter of encouragement to Lei Zhenjiang, asking him to act without any scruples, just let it go, and it would be okay to blow it up with a grenade if necessary, and he would be on top of it when the sky fell, however, Jinyiwei's reputation was too stinky, and what he did was all shady things, and he told Lei Zhenjiang to be careful, pay attention to safety, and save his life in order to share the final fruits of victory.

This time, there were more than 20 reinforcements in the people who followed the investigation team to Liaodong, who were carefully selected by Lei Yin himself, and they were quite clever, and they brought Zhu Jian's handwritten letters by the way.

After the investigation team arrived in Liaodong, it immediately launched an investigation, and the guerrilla general Cao Wenzhao was ordered to return to Beijing and set off with his own guards first.
