Chapter Seventy-Seven: Women Heroes
Wenchen governs the country, and the military generals Anbang, and now in troubled times, the military generals who can Anbang are particularly important.
Compared with Jianyu, the biggest disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty is that the army cannot fight, and the generals who are good at fighting are also scarce.
Even if there were, most of them were buried or even buried.
Fortunately, the current Emperor of the Apocalypse has the soul of a later generation, and can properly use the advantages of being a latecomer, and can appoint the loyal and brave generals he knows best to the greatest extent and give full play to their talents as much as possible.
Lu Xiangsheng was one of them, but this was not enough, and the apocalypse quickly saw Cao Wenzhao.
Cao Wenzhao's ability is no less than that of Lu Xiangsheng, and he is a rare loyal and good general in this era.
There is also his nephew Cao Bianjiao, who is known as Cao Wenzhao together with Cao Wenzhao, and is famous for a while.
The two Cao are both loyal and brave people, and in the end they all killed themselves, swearing not to surrender to the enemy, which is very tragic, and every time they remember it, they make people indignant.
Cao Wenzhao: Twenty-five years of Wanli's birthday, a native of Datong, Shanxi, served in the army in Liaodong in his early years, and was promoted to a guerrilla general with meritorious service.
Guerrilla generals are the minimum standard for the selection of generals in this apocalypse, so Cao Wenzhao can be selected.
Of course, if Cao Wenzhao is not on the list, the apocalypse will also send someone to find it, such a famous general, no matter how low the position is, it cannot be buried.
However, for the apocalypse, the military rank of a guerrilla general was too low to match Cao Wenzhao's ability.
And in a place like Liaodong, it is difficult for a guerrilla general to get ahead in a short time, after all, most of the elite soldiers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty are gathered there.
And after Huang Taiji hit a wall in the Battle of Ningjin last year, I am afraid that he will not send troops to attack the Guanningjin defense line for a while, and it will be even more difficult for Cao Wenzhao to rise up.
Cao Wenzhao is different from Lu Xiangsheng, and Tianqi cannot promote him in the same way, because Cao Wenzhao is originally in the Liao army system, and if a guerrilla general is suddenly promoted if he does not get enough military merits, it will inevitably make other generals unconvinced.
And these military leaders were killed from the sea of corpses and blood, somewhat arrogant, even Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, thought that the reward for meritorious deeds was not enough, and said that he would pick a son, so he picked a son and went home.
Therefore, the apocalypse can't offend a group of people for the sake of one person, but can only think of other ways.
So, he directly issued a holy decree and ordered Cao Wenzhao to be transferred to Guannei and asked him to lead his troops to suppress the peasant army.
It has been more than half a year since the Wang Er riots developed in Guanzhong and Weibei in Shaanxi, raging from Shaanxi to Shanxi.
The two provinces encircled and suppressed many times, but not only failed to extinguish this stream of rogues, but on the contrary, made it stronger and stronger, and its strength was also significantly enhanced, because some defeated officers and troops also joined it, which made the situation worse.
If there is no mistake, Tianqi remembers that the first generation of King Gao Yingxiang seems to have rebelled from Shaanxi this year, and he is not the only one who responds at the same time, and Tianqi can't remember who the others are.
But it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that if you don't nip these rogues who haven't really cohesed together in the bud as soon as possible, sooner or later they will become a big problem.
It just so happens that Cao Wenzhao is also a good hand at exterminating the Liukou, and it is just right to transfer him from outside the customs, and it can also accumulate military merits for him so that he can be reused in the future.
Speaking of exterminating the Liukou, Apocalypse quickly thought of another person: Hong Chengchou.
Although this person is a hypocritical capitulation faction in the official history, his ability is beyond doubt, especially his policy of suppressing the Kou is very correct: the main thing is to suppress, and the second is to appease.
This is contrary to the guidelines of the Chongzhen Dynasty most of the time, so Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong surrendered if they couldn't defeat them, and rebelled after finding the right time, causing the court to consume a lot of energy and money, not only did not play a role, but made the strength of the Liukou continue to grow.
As the saying goes, if you don't die when you fight a tiger, you will suffer from it.
Especially under this internal and external troubles, it is absolutely impossible to be benevolent to women, so even in his heart, Tianqi sympathizes with these peasants who rebel because they can't survive, but reason tells him that he must not be soft-hearted.
Only by cutting through the mess with a quick knife can the damage and loss be minimized.
At this time, Hong Chengchou happened to be serving in Shaanxi, but he was just a civil official, and he participated in politics from the grain supervision of Sanpin.
Tianqi immediately issued a holy decree, and because of the ineffective suppression of thieves, Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, reprimanded him fiercely.
To say that this Wu Zhiwang is also a well-known medical scientist in later generations, especially good at gynecology, which is particularly important in this era, because most of the general doctors will not focus on this direction.
His literary attainments are also very high, and he has also achieved good political achievements in local governance, but his military ability is very average, and since the outbreak of peasant rebellion in Shaanxi, he has been inadequate.
However, as the military governor of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, it was his duty to suppress the rebellion, and for such a long time, even the peasant rebellion of several thousand people was not extinguished, but made it stronger and stronger, and it was understandable for the apocalypse to reprimand him.
Immediately, the apocalypse ordered Hong Chengchou to lead the troops to attack at the end of the holy decree.
It was not that the apocalypse was too childish to suddenly let a civilian official who had never led an army to fight to suppress thieves, because he remembered that Hong Chengchou seemed to have been given the opportunity to suppress thieves shortly thereafter.
Because of his good grades, he then made steady progress, so now it's just a matter of using him a little earlier.
However, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao, Tianqi has not forgotten another more important general, and he is a heroine.
The female generals of the Ming Dynasty are naturally none other than Qin Liangyu, and the white pole soldiers under his command are more famous than Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army.
Because the white pole soldiers have existed for a much longer time, and their combat achievements are also more prominent, they have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
The loyalty and courage of the Qin family and the Ma family of her husband are completely comparable to the Yang generals who have been handed down to future generations.
Even the dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes recalling their exploits, felt a little unworthy for them.
Because they have also encountered a lot of the same injustice as the Yang family, and many elements of the story of the Yang family's general were processed by later generations, but what happened to the Qin family and the Ma family is a fact.
Qin Liangyu's husband was framed by a eunuch and went to prison, and finally died of illness in prison.
In the battle of the Hunhe River, the white pole soldiers fought bloodily and killed many prisoners, but the friendly troops made their own calculations, watching the fire from the other bank and not saving them, until the white pole soldiers were all wiped out, and Qin Liangyu's two brothers were killed in battle.
Through the previous memories, Tianqi remembers that it was about three years after the Apocalypse, and Xuanfu Si Tusi Xuan Chongming rebelled.
Qin Liangyu gave a recital, to the effect that he sent troops and brought food to fight, and he won successive battles. However, the other court generals have never even seen the face of the thief, they only know that they brag all day long, and when they really face the thief, they flee from the wind.
Not only are these people not ashamed, but they are jealous that Qin Liangyu defeated the enemy, lost face, and targeted everywhere, and she had to endure the grief of her brother's death in battle.
This is just what has happened now, in the official history, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Qin Liangyu's son, daughter-in-law and several nephews all died for the Ming Dynasty.
The most pitiful thing is that because the chief general sent by the imperial court was too stupid and did not listen to Qin Liangyu's admonition, he finally lost the main force of Qin Liangyu's hard-earned white pole soldiers in the hands of Zhang Xianzhong.
In the face of so many injustices, ordinary people have long been disheartened, and even provoked rebellion, but Qin Liangyu did not, she had no complaints about the court from beginning to end, and was loyal and conscientious until the last moment of her life.
Women heroes deserve their name, how can those seven-foot men who surrender be embarrassed?
