Chapter 43: Untitled

To know Mao Wenlong's merits and demerits, at least to know the population, army, food and salary of the Dongjiang River, as well as the military operations launched against Houjin, and even the results and losses of the war.

Zhu Youxiao only knows the evaluations on the Internet in later generations, but there are also true and false, and he can't be sure.

Don't talk about Mao Wenlong, if you are a human being, there will be changes. What Zhu Youxiao needs to do is to grasp the changes, as well as the factors that contribute to them, and guide or solve them.

The lessons of history are very profound, and Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, was under great pressure to verify Mao Wenlong's battle report of "Manpu and Changcheng", which caused a contradiction between the two and was used to ferment, which eventually led to Yuan Keli's resignation.

Yuan Keli's departure is a tragedy for Mao Wenlong, Yuan Keli and Daming. It can even be said that this was a turning point in the war against Liao from prosperity to decline.

If there were Jinyi guards, internal officials, and civil officials in Dongjiang Town, and the information of the imperial court was well-informed and accurate, such a thing would not have happened.

It's not that he is a prison army, he is a man who commands and points fingers at Mao Wenlong, he is just a sight and ears, and he reports truthfully, so that Zhu Youxiao can understand the actual situation.

So, instead of planting it after the establishment of Dongjiang Town, it is better to start now. This is also Zhu Youxiao's laying a good foundation for his teacher Yuan Keli to take office.

If you want to talk about the general soldiers of Dongjiang Town, does it have to be Mao Wenlong? Zhu Youxiao felt that, at least for now, he had no more suitable candidate.

There are many generals who can lead troops to fight, but like Mao Wenlong, who is more proficient in using guerrilla tactics, defeating more and winning less, and can always deal with Houjin, Zhu Youxiao really can't find it.

The "guerrilla" tactic has existed since ancient times, and Sun Tzu used this tactic when he attacked the Chu State. Of course, there was no such title at that time, and it was not as sophisticated as the "sixteen-character" policy of later generations.

Of course, Mao Wenlong's guerrilla tactics were also a last resort, and he was tough and rigid, so he had to attack everywhere, and if he had a bargain, he would take a profit, and if he wanted to suffer a loss, he would run.

Anyway, Houjin is very good at riding and shooting, and the horse can't run to the sea. The Dongjiang army was stationed on the island, and it can be said that it was not injured at all, and it could continue to resume and fight again.

In fact, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

First of all, you have to have accurate information, where the enemy is empty, let's go and bully him; Where the enemy is iron, let's hide.

The second is to grasp the distance deep into the enemy area and calculate the time when the enemy's reinforcements will arrive. If it goes too deep, it is easy to be blocked on the shore and cannot be withdrawn.

In the same way, if the enemy's reinforcements arrive faster than expected, they are also vulnerable to siege and suffer heavy losses.

Mao Wenlong's sense of smell, or intuition, in this regard is still very powerful.

It is said that when Nurhachi was a domestic slave under Li Chengliang, Mao Wenlong was also under Li Chengliang as a petty officer. The two should know each other, or maybe even know each other.

In any case, Mao Wenlong engaged in sneak attacks, sent spies, killed people, set fire to and robbed things, and incited the Liao people to rebel and escape.

The historical Dongjiang Town played such a leading role.

Because most of the resources of the Ming court were still continuously invested in the bottomless pit of Liaoxi, the fortress advanced for hundreds of miles, and did not kill many enemies, but it broke itself.

If my planning is successful, Dongjiang Town will surely become a dazzling existence. Mao Wenlong, presumably he will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

"The ministers meet Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty on your wedding, long live my emperor!"

"The courtiers and others meet Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty on your wedding, long live my emperor!"

In the congratulatory sound of long live the mountain call, Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses and moved his eyes to the hall.

Yesterday, he finally received an urgent performance from Tianjin and Denglai, and since all of them have been dispatched, the outcome will be determined by the sky!

The anxious and anxious mood was relieved, and Zhu Youxiao's mood was also very good, facing the congratulations of the civil and military officials and Xunqing, he smiled and raised his hand slightly, calling the guests who came to watch the ceremony and congratulate.

Marrying a daughter-in-law, it's three at once, it's still very exciting to think about it!

Sun Shen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked to the middle of the main hall, holding the Ming Huang edict in his hand, and read aloud the emperor's canonical order to the queen and the concubine, and the treasure text, and the case next to it was placed with gold treasures, gold books, and gold seals.

Jinbao is the treasure seal of the queen and the concubine; The golden book is the instrument for the canonization of the queen; The golden seal, also known as the phoenix seal, is unique to the queen and is a proof of the queen's power as the lord of the harem.

After the ceremony, the Ministry of Rites arranged for the Honglu official who greeted the relatives to receive the festival, book, treasure, and seal, and went straight to the noon gate to arrange the car of the queen and the concubine.

The guard of honor is placed outside the noon gate, among which there is a queen ceremony, two imperial concubine etiquette, the queen's ceremony is covered with an apricot yellow satin curtain, and the phoenix is embroidered with gold thread to show the difference with the imperial concubine.

Wang Tiqian's face was full of joy, and he looked happier than Zhu Youxiao. He bowed next to Zhu Youxiao and reminded: "Please Your Majesty to receive the civil and military officials and nobles, and then drive the Qianqing Palace and wait for Her Royal Highness the Empress to see you."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and ordered: "Let's roll call, let all civil and military officials and Xunqing give orders, and congratulate Jin Jian according to the system." ”

"Yes!" Wang Tiqian gave a salute to receive the order, and then turned around, according to the system, and stepped forward to present gifts to the emperor by name to congratulate the emperor on his wedding.

First there were several elders of the Jingzhong clan, then there were noble ministers, in order, first the people of the old Zhu family, then the queen's family, and finally outsiders.

The roll call was not long, but the guests still tried to perform well. Gifts must be both precious and novel in order to please the emperor and leave a deep impression on the emperor.

There are not many people in the queen's family, and the mother's family will never dare to be too good in front of the emperor, but there is no need to give gifts. On the contrary, the emperor had to reward.

A few words with his father-in-law Zhang Guoji without nutrition were all official responses, and they ended soon.

Zhang Guoji and others thanked him and withdrew from the hall. They have to rush back to the mansion, and when the time comes, the welcoming Feng Yuan will arrive at the mansion.

According to the example, after Zhu Youxiao selected the queen and the imperial concubine, he gave a house in Beijing, and the queen and the two imperial concubines had their families, so that they could welcome their relatives.

At the end of the roll call, Zhu Youxiao drove back to the Qianqing Palace, where he waited to pick up the queen Jinjian. Well, it's not a queen yet, and the last procedure of the post-seal ceremony will be held.

Tea and pastries, Zhu Youxiao didn't wait idlely, he ate something casually, and let Liu Ruoyu read a few notes.

Today's etiquette process, Zhu Youxiao has seen the arrangement of the Ministry of Etiquette, and can only evaluate it in two words, which is very poor.

Waiting for the honor guard to pick up Zhang Yan, the groom official Zhu Youxiao will take the bride's hand and go to Kunning Palace for a post-sealing ceremony, which can be regarded as a real wedding ceremony.
