Section 12: Dividing the work
There was a loud uproar in the hall, but Apocalypse couldn't tell what they were talking about for the time being. After closing his eyes for a while, he felt that the excitement in his heart had calmed down a little, and then the emperor heard the congratulatory voices of the courtiers, slowly opened his eyes, tried his best to endure it, and scanned the ministers in the palace with a tense face.
Seeing the emperor raising his hand majestically, the entire hall was silent all of a sudden, and everyone was obediently waiting for the emperor's next step. Since becoming the emperor, Tianqi has always been required to maintain his appearance, and it is common for him to control his voice without ups and downs, but the emperor has become very hard to do at this time. As Apocalypse spoke, he felt the muscles on his cheeks beating constantly, and his Adam's apple became a little dry, and he asked, "Two thousand two hundred and thirty-five levels, right?" β
Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't have so many scruples, and his voice shouted echoed in the quiet hall: "Hui Wansui Ye is two thousand two hundred and thirty-five levels, it's true!"
After shouting, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing, and even his shoulders shook. Then he seemed to realize that he was too out of shape to laugh so loudly, and quickly restrained the muscles of his face. But Tianqi didn't mind Wei Zhongxian's outrage. The courtiers below also bit their lips tightly one by one, obviously trying their best to suppress their joy, so as not to behave rudely in front of the king.
"General Huang is very good, very good...... "As Tian Qi spoke, he remembered the struggle of the past few days, and he tried his best to give Huang Shi the right to resist the pressure of the cabinet and the civil ministers; he personally put Shang Fang's sword in Huang Shi's hand in Lantai; he deliberately climbed the Daming Gate to see Huang Shi off; and he cheered Huang Shi up in front of the people of Beijing.
The emperor felt that his eyes were going to moisten, he had worked so hard to support Huangshi, and finally got a reward, and there were more than 2,000 in a single battle against the Northern Captives, which was the biggest result after the Ming Dynasty. Although Tianqi raised his eyebrows, he still remembered his identity as the Son of Heaven. summed it up in a voice that was old enough and unemotional: "General Huang is loyal and brave and lives up to my expectations. β
After these words came out, Apocalypse could no longer suppress his joy, and began to smile, which soon turned into a young man's hearty laughter. Seeing the emperor laugh happily. And the people in the temple were no longer forced to suppress themselves. Liaoxi's big victory suddenly removed the hidden worries in everyone's hearts, and everyone talked excitedly, and the originally solemn Jinluan Hall was suddenly surging. It's as lively as a wet market.
"When did this good news arrive?" The first thought of the Apocalypse after recovering from his ecstasy was to reward the messenger who sent the message.
"Back to Long Live Lord's words...... Wei Zhongxian is like a worm in the stomach of the Apocalypse, and without waiting for the emperor to say anything, he told the Apocalypse that he had already rewarded the messenger with silver, and starting from the Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion, to the errand runner of the ceremonial eunuch. As long as it is a good news, everyone will have a copy.
Unexpectedly, Tianqi was still not satisfied, and he waved his hand without thinking: "After running for a few days, I changed eight horses before I was rewarded with five taels of silver." Too little to double!"
At this time, Tianqi noticed that Wei Zhongxian was still kneeling on the ground, and he was so happy that he forgot to let him get up for a while: "Wei Qing is flat." β
"Long live you. Wei Zhongxian stood up with a smile, and the joy on his face made the emperor feel warm in his heart. Apocalypse happily paced back and forth around the throne, so excited that he couldn't sit down for a while.
As an ordinary, young child. Since the beginning of his succession to the throne, Tianqi has been completely unable to deal with the courtiers around him, let alone the huge bureaucracy of the empire, and his every move for so many years has not been within the scope of the Ming Dynasty's regulations. This time, the Huangshi cabinet, the military department, and the celebrant did not agree. Thinking of this, Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian who was standing aside, and Wei Zhongxian was this confidant, and he did not approve of the military generals at that time, and they were not subject to the restraint of civilian officials - the promotion of Huangshi was completely at the discretion of my cadres. And General Huang really has to earn face for me, this time the old guys have nothing to say, right?
Already a little eunuch had already run up. He recited Zhao Yinggong's cantata aloud, although Jiannu hadn't retired for a while, but the recital was full of optimism. The price of killing 2,200 Juehua Ming troops was only 15 dead and 31 wounded. The emperor and his courtiers were already infected by Zhao Yin's bow love, and when they heard that the loss was not big, they were even more convinced, and felt that it was no longer possible for Jiannu to turn defeat into victory.
"Shandong Buzheng Governor Liangtong sentenced Zhao Yinggong ......" Tianqi repeated Zhao Tong's name and official title several times, and Wei Zhongxian beside him listened carefully to it, although he was still smiling silly on the surface, but he had firmly remembered this name in his heart. Tianqi smiled and nodded: "This Zhao Tongju is also very capable, and he should also be quite generous, put the country first, and not compete with General Huang for power, which is very good." β
"Now I'm just waiting for them to officially ask for the merit, well, I'm really looking forward to it. After such a long time, Tian Qi felt that it was not appropriate to walk around in front of his courtiers, so he easily sat down on his throne. Leaning on the backrest, the arm resting on the armrest pointed to the little eunuch holding the concerto: "Recite it to me again, read it slowly." β
......
Ningyuan, Liaoxi
Although he changed into an official robe embroidered with a tiger, Huang Shi still carefully tied his sword around his waist. When you go to the banquet place in the evening, Hong Antong must bring it. With a heavily armed guard by his side, coupled with the sword at his waist, Huang Shi would feel more secure when facing Yuan Chonghuan.
"This Liaoxi can't stay. Huang Shi made up his mind again and again while tidying up his clothes, and now he had a conversation with Yuan Chonghuan first, and then he could go back to the Dongjiang River as quickly as he could.
A few years ago, because he wanted to cultivate his own strength, because he didn't want to be controlled by Wenchen, he was reluctant to come to Liaoxi. But after Huang Shi was ready to emulate Qi Shaobao and Yue Wumu, he reconsidered Sun Chengzong's construction.
Now Huangshi has three battalions of elites under him, even if someone is disobedient, Huangshi can bend it with strength. Coupled with his dazzling exploits, Huang Shi felt that there was still some chance to clean up Guan Ning's group of lazy people. However, the premise of this qiΔ is that Yuan Chonghuan cannot be as tough as the cabinet before Huang Shi came out, just for his own safety.
As a modern person, Huangshi takes the national interest very seriously. But he also firmly believes in the saying "you can't die if you are promising". If even the premise of security does not exist, then let alone the military salary of 3 million taels a year, even the military salary of 30 million taels a year will not attract him Huangshi to Liaoxi.
Hong Antong, as the captain of the internal guard, Huang Shi would not hide most of his ideas from him. Now Hong Antong saw that Huang Shi suddenly changed his mind again. also looked a little confused: "Didn't the Lord say that he wanted to fight for the Admiral Liaoxi when he came out of Changsheng Island this time?"
Huang Shi smiled incomprehensibly, and did not immediately answer Hong Antong's question. The captain of the internal guard thought for a moment and thought of his chief's unusual behavior today. He lowered his voice and asked, "Juehua and Ning Yuan won both battles, and the promotion to the governor of Liaodong according to the envoy is already a certainty, but do you want to avoid Lord Yuan and not be controlled by him?"
If Hong Antong can't even react to this kind of thing, then Huangshi should consider changing the Minister of Internal Affairs. He let out a long sigh, "Not bad. Hong Antong, do you know about Du Yingkui?"
"My subordinates don't know, please make it clear. β
"Well, that's the second year of the apocalypse,......" Huang Shi shook his head. Hong Antong didn't care much about the affairs of Liaozhen, but Huang Shi was very concerned about Ning Yuansheng's every move.
Du Yingkui was a former officer in Liaodong Town, and was later dismissed for corruption. Selling wine for a living in Chang'an. After the Battle of Saar, there was a great earthquake in Liaodong, and Du Yingkui was recommended by Han Jien as the deputy chief of Shanhaiguan because he was known for his bravery. However, Du Yingkui still insisted on his old way of eating empty wages and supporting his family, and the average salary was one or four dollars per month, and the supply of Du Yingkui's family in Liao Town was as high as one hundred taels.
β...... The Liaodong Metropolitan Governor's Office captured Vice General Du and asked the responsibility of the imperial history. You must know how much empty salary Vice Admiral Du has eaten. The emperor ordered Sun Ge Lao and Yan Fujun to deal with the case, and Yan Fujun sent Lord Yuan of Ning Qiandao to check the number of people. β
Speaking of this, Huang Shi paused, his face was full of misery: "Ning Qiandao went to Deputy General Du's camp and counted the number of soldiers who were empty. Lord Yuan beheaded his people......"
Hong Antong's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he interjected and asked, "Yan Fujun asked Lord Yuan to count the number of people." Even if the school official is guilty, he is also an official of the imperial court, and he should be tried by the criminal department.
"I think Lord Yuan may not know what's going on at all, Yan Fujun asked him to count the number of people in this camp, Lord Yuan saw that the number was wrong, maybe he was in a bad mood, maybe he was not feeling good, and he was about to kill. At that time, there was a great uproar in the camp, and there were almost mutinies, but Yuan said: "By the order of Yan Fu's army." So he pushed the officer out of the camp and beheaded him. After Huang Shi finished speaking, he laughed miserably, the military attache who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan was really unjustly killed, but to kill is to kill. After Sun Chengzong heard about it, although he was furious and blamed Yuan Chonghuan for killing people indiscriminately, Yuan Chonghuan apologized and stopped pursuing it.
Hong Antong's face was flushed and he held back for a long time before he said: "This is not in line with the laws of the imperial court." β
Huang Shi showed a helpless expression on his face: "Lord Yuan is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, even if he kills and unjustly kills a few generals, who will take it seriously? At that time, Lord Yuan was just a little Ning Qiandao, but such a thing as unjustly killing the country's five-rank military attachΓ©, Sun Ge Lao was just reprimanded twice, and he didn't even have the punishment of going out of his way. Now that Lord Yuan is about to patrol Liaodong, I am just a martial artist, how dare I stay in Liaoxi more?"
After talking to Hong An, Huang Shi went to the banquet, and he planned to wait for the official reward from the imperial court to come down, and immediately smear oil on the soles of his feet and return to Changsheng Island.
Walking outside the atrium of the Ningyuan official office, Huang Shi heard the roaring and scolding coming from the flower hall inside. When he and Hong Antong walked into the flower hall before and after, what caught his eye was the three generals who were fighting together. Huang Shi stared at them dumbfounded, and only after a moment did he recognize that the two of them were General Yao and General Jin. It turned out that the six generals of Juehua were also invited to the banquet today. Yuan Chonghuan didn't meet them alone, so he didn't come with Huang Shi and Zhao Yinggong last time.
The other person, Huang Shi, didn't know him, but the general was very brave, and he fought alone, and General Yao and General Jin still didn't fall behind. Although a large circle of onlookers shouted and persuaded them to stop fighting, none of them came down to pull ...... Oh, Huangshi is wrong, there is a person who is about to go out and pull.
That person was Hu Yining, when General Hu Shen, the military attache flew up and kicked General Yao Shen on the heel. I only heard General Hu Shen shouting: "Stop fighting" and flew over and grabbed one of the arms of the strange general. Then General Hu Shen shouted "Take a step back!" and clung to the man's waist while shouting. The military attache also seemed to be a little tired, panting and throwing it back twice, but he couldn't get rid of General Hu.
The mad tiger will pull his arms like a windmill. There was only one arm left, so that the strange general struggled to resist and barely caught his attack. At this time, General Yao, who had been kicked, also got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared in a low voice, and was about to pounce again......
After feeling hugged from behind. General Yao scolded, and the tiger jumped and tried to break free, but the people behind him clung to him. General Yao scolded a few more words, but then saw that General Dijin and General Hu had stopped fighting, and General Yao was stunned. Only then did I hear that the person behind me had been shouting: "Brother Yao, Brother Yao, I am Huangshi, stop first, have something to say." β
Yao Youxian heard that the person who came was Huangshi. couldn't help but shudder, and quickly nodded yes. After Huang Shi let go of him, General Yao Shen hurriedly turned around and came over to greet Huang Shi, and Hu Yining and his brothers also rushed over. The other Liaoxi generals in the flower hall heard that this was the famous Huangshi, and they all surrounded him, and almost only the one who used force with Yao Hexian looked angry. Stay aside.
Huang Shi saw that the man's official robe was also embroidered with a tiger, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, of course, he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Dare to ask who this general is?"
The general's face was full of anger, and Huang Shi here was very polite. But he just hurriedly threw his hand away and yelled a few times angrily. His voice was fast and muffled. Huangshi didn't even understand. He looked at the general opposite: not tall but very stocky, with a small pair of eyes on his face, and a deep scar that opened from the bridge of his nose to his left eye socket, almost gouging out his eyeball.
Yao Youxian seemed to see that Huang Shi didn't hear what the military attache said, so he whispered in Huang Shi's ear: "This is Ning Yuan's general soldier Man Gui." β
The name of Man Gui, Huangshi, had been heard of in his previous life. This person had many military exploits in Xuanda Town in his early years, and later came to Liao Town to beg for a living. There are nearly 1,000 soldiers under Man Gui, and the level of the family is very different from that of other Guanning troops, and in history, in the first battle of Ningyuan, the family of Man Gui was deployed in the most critical location, and it was also described as meritorious.
Now Man Gui is also on an equal footing with Huang Shi at the level of the governor of the same knowledge, Huang Shi politely met him again, and Man Gui, who seemed to have lost a little anger, hurriedly followed and shouted loudly again, finally let Huang Shi figure out what was going on.
It turned out that there was a reason why they went back late for the pursuit of the Golden Crown a few days ago. Some Houjin soldiers under Ningyuan City were killed by artillery, and in history, these levels were only cut by Ningyuan's army after the retreat of the Houjin army. But this time, Jue Huazhong happened to pass by on the way home, so he cut off all the ranks.
Man Gui said angrily: "I have counted the dead bodies on the ground, and you have cut off a total of two hundred and sixty corpses. On that day, General Huang almost killed forty people, and the remaining two hundred and twenty corpses should be returned, which is the result of our battle in Ningyuan Fort Land. β
"What do you mean that your name is written on your head?" said General Jin's voice. On that day, the city gate of Ningyuan Fort was blocked, and he was chased by the Houjin army and ran in circles, and when General Jin thought about it, he became angry and said: "You don't dare to cut it from the city, of course, whoever cuts it on our prefecture-level battlefield is whoever cuts it, and I have never returned the grade in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty!"
In this battle, Yao Shen and his gang were divided into hundreds of ranks, and the fool also knew that this group of people had been promoted. They are all from Liaoxi, not as good as outsiders like Man Gui, so the generals of Ningyuan Fort are not very helpful to Man Gui to speak, at most they are counting on Yao Shen to loosen their fingers and leak some benefits to themselves.
The lonely Man Gui stood opposite, while Yao Youxian and Jin Guan gathered behind Huangshi, spitting one by one. Huang Shi looked sideways at the group of spittling around him, and suddenly felt as if he had become the gang boss in the movie, leading a group of dogs and powerful little brothers to bully goodness.
Huang Shi walked out of the crowd and walked to the opposite side, and arched his hand to the vigilant Man Gui for the third time: "The matter of the Manjun Gate will be talked about after the banquet, and Yu will definitely give an explanation to the Manchu Gate." β
"Huang Junmen is polite," Man Gui listened to Huang Shi's sincere tone, and finally solemnly replied: "I have admired the prestige of Huang Junmen for a long time, and I have seen Huang Junmen's heroic appearance on the city tower before. β
Man Gui paused, and his tone became a little higher: "Huang Junmen is also a person who has been leading soldiers for a long time, and the sons and daughters tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they are desperately trying for this military merit, so I must get these two hundred and twenty grades back for them." β
Behind him there was another thunderous shout:
"Did anyone say your name?"
"Who cut it? are you or us?"
"Don't ......," Huang Shi turned around and waved his hand, Yao Youxian, Jin Guan and others, who were spitting around, had to keep their mouths shut.
Man Gui's face was suspicious again. His sons and daughters were born and died, and finally had a level to exchange for some rewards, and when he thought of these Man Gui, he couldn't help but shout: "Two hundred and twenty Huang Junmen, you must return it to me." β
