Chapter Twenty-Six: Decree of Grace, Liaodong Won Again

There was not much time, and Shi Yong'an, the inspector of the imperial history, hurried over. This is also a meritorious man who assisted Li Zheng in planning and making great contributions in the defense of Guiyang.

Seeing that the people had arrived, the envoy got up and came to the main hall, stood solemnly in front of the incense case, waited for the three of them to kneel and answer, and began to announce the decree.

Wang Sanshan was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and immediately returned to Beijing to prepare to preside over the work of the Beijing Procuratorate next year;

Li Zheng was transferred to the governor of Yunnan and moved to Zhanyi; Shi Yongan was promoted to the governor of Yuanzhou and moved to Biqiao.

In addition, another holy decree is to reward those who have made meritorious contributions in the defense of Guiyang, including Pan Runmin, a political officer in Sichuan, Yang Shikong, a scholar in Yunnan, and Zhou Lianghan, a scholar.

Even the students who did not have merit and fame, such as the young talents Yang Wencong and Wang Sunzhang, were graced to enter Beijing to see His Majesty.

It's just that the personnel transfer on the holy decree made the three of them feel very surprised.

Especially Wang Sanshan, it is even more unclear. It stands to reason that presiding over Jingcha can be said to be in power, and every time during the Jingcha period, all parties and factions have to fight for their heads, but they are born in his hands.

After Xie En received the order, the three of them followed the envoy to the side hall. After being introduced by the envoy, I learned that this was Fu Zonglong, the new governor of Guizhou, who came to replace Wang Sanshan.

As the new governor, Fu Zonglong is very low-key and modest, and there is no sense of arrogance in his speech.

He also told the three that the governor of Guizhou would be moved to Luguang, and that the governor of Sichuan was Cai Fuyi, who was newly appointed by the imperial court, and moved to Yongning; Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the army, set up the government of Zunyi, and Shi Yongan, the governor of Yuanzhou, who moved to the partial bridge, formed a siege on all sides of Shuixi.

Obviously, Fu Zonglong came by the order of the Holy Order, and such a deployment is also the latest counterinsurgency strategy of the imperial court.

"Lord Wang once served as a civil anthology of the Ministry of Officials, because of his talents, not a powerful person, long live is very commendable."

Fu Zonglong arched his hand towards Wang Sanshan, and said with a smile: "The plan of Jingcha is undertaken by the governor, and it is also a new move, which shows the trust of Long Live to Lord Wang." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Wang Sanshan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "With the trust of Long Live, this official dares to do his best and be loyal to state affairs." ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Sanshan felt much more comfortable. It's not because his counterinsurgency work is not good, but because he has to be reused.

Fu Zonglong turned to Li Zheng and arched his hand: "Lord Li has made outstanding contributions to the lonely city. The imperial court has already made a statement, and the decree should come soon. In addition, Master Li is the governor of Yunnan, long live and explain, the expectations are deep, and the burden is heavy! ”

Li Zheng was already relieved in his heart, the merit is not very important, and this appointment has proved that the matter of impeaching himself is just a rumor, or that the judgment has been made.

"Long live the wise, this official serves the country with loyalty, how can he worry about the monarch's father?" Li Zheng replied aloud.

Fu Zonglong said a few more words to Shi Yongan, reminding him to pay attention to the safety behind the relocation of the partial bridge.

Subsequently, he came up with the court's meticulous counterinsurgency strategy and detailed the various measures one by one.

In this partial hall, it is already the gathering of the two superintendents of Yunnan and Guizhou (Yuanzhou also belongs to Guizhou), which can form a three-way response. How to coordinate operations and blockade and siege is very important.

In fact, although Fu Zonglong was conveying the holy will, he did not fully understand the emperor's thoughts.

Zhu Youxiao thinks that Li Zheng is alone in the lonely city, brave and strategic, and a talent. He was transferred to Yunnan to take up a post, in addition to quelling the rebellion, he also strengthened the military garrison of Yunnan Province and guarded against the rebellion of the chieftains in Yunnan Province.

And Fu Zonglong didn't know about these, and Li Zheng would only understand them after receiving the secret order.

…………………

The so-called wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows loyalty.

In the rebellion of luxury, many famous generals and loyal and brave men emerged, and some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death were also exposed.

Those who are capable are punished, and those who are mediocre are punished.

Li Zheng and Shi Yongan, as well as Pan Runmin, a lowly official in Sichuan, Yang Shikong, a scholar in Yunnan, Zhou Lianghan, a scholar, and Yang Wencong and Wang Sunzhang showed their loyalty and bravery in the defense of Guiyang.

The big waves wash the sand, or the opportunity given by the times. They caught it, and they were also favored by Zhu Youxiao and recorded in this book.

Liaodong needs talented officials and brave generals, and the southwest also needs it, which will be the future battlefield set by the young emperor.

And these officials and talents who are familiar with the situation in the southwest need to be tempered and grown into Beijing to accept the study and training arranged by the young emperor.

Of course, no one knows what kind of foresight and ambition are behind the emperor's kindness.

And when the messenger of the victory shouted along the way again, and galloped through the streets of the capital, and once again set off a wave of excitement among the people, the young emperor was lifting a brush dipped in cinnabar, and decided life and death.

That's right, it's to kill people.

On the list of prisoners to be executed after the autumn, the emperor only needs to put a "check" on a certain name, which means that a life is lost in this world.

Li Sancai, Cui Chengxiu, Wang Haoxian, Li Zitong...... There are corrupt officials, rebels, and gentry and landlords.

Although the young emperor felt that the pen was very important, he still seriously and solemnly ticked off a personal name to set a countdown to the end of these lives.

has been as little as possible Zhu Lian, that is, what kind of punishment such as the three tribes and the nine tribes. It was only the head of the first offender, and the family members were pardoned and exiled to Dongfan, Hainan Island, and Yunnan.

There are many places that need to be developed, or not developed enough.

Finally finished colluding with the criminals, Zhu Youxiao carefully checked it again, and then put down the pen and closed the roster, not even wanting to look at it more.

Wang Tiqian stood respectfully bowed, holding the song of the victory in his hand.

"Wang Companion, bring the music to me!" The Young Emperor's calm voice rang out.

Wang Tiqian hurriedly stepped forward and presented his hands to the recital. The emperor is much calmer, but he is not as eager as last time.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to take it and opened it to read.

This is the report of the victory in the fierce battle of Fort Arthur, Liaozhen, Dengzhen, Jinzhen, and Dongjiang joined forces, and a total of about 10,000 men and horses were dispatched to defeat the blue banner led by Amin, and a total of 4,362 beheadings were made.

Of the more than 4,000 heads, there are 2,131 Zhenyi, and the rest are the Han army and the Jinmeng people.

Judging from the record alone, this is already the biggest victory since the start of the war in Liaodong. But Zhu Youxiao just glanced at it, and focused on the course of the battle.

The Great Black Mountain blockade, the defensive battle outside Fort Arthur, and then the final combined attack victory, it was clearly written in the newspaper.

A victory can no longer make the young emperor overjoyed, what he is most concerned about is the new tactics of the new army, what kind of effect will it have?

After reading it carefully, Zhu Youxiao came up with the key to victory, which is an extremely simple three words: no-suitability-response.

That's what happened, Jiannu didn't understand the tactics of the new army for the first time, and he still responded to the battle according to the original means, and it was strange to be undefeated!

In the past, the Ming army was also equipped with firearms, and individual soldiers mainly used bird guns and three-eyed guns. Not to mention the small power, the quality of the bird gun and the training of the soldiers are the biggest problems.

Because of the frequent explosion of the bird gun, the Ming army's bird gun hand was often frightened when using it, and he lacked confidence in the lethality of the bird gun.

When facing the Jiannu cavalry who galloped and roared and killed, they were under tremendous pressure in many aspects.

The lack of rigorous training made them panic in the combat center, unable to reload freely, and often unable to fire lead pellets normally.

The Jiannu cavalry seized this weakness of the Ming army, dangled in front of the formation, and after the Ming army's bird guns were released, they accelerated their charge and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

After the Ming army's bird gun released a shot, it was too late to reload, and the bird gun did not have a bayonet, and of course it could not beat the fierce Jiannu with a burning stick.

Therefore, without the protection of hand-to-hand combat melee soldiers who dare to fight, even if the Ming army is equipped with firearms, it is difficult to compete with Jiannu in the field.

The most obvious example is the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, where the most elite firearms troops, the Qi family's army, and the most brave and daring melee infantry white pole soldiers, cooperated with each other to defeat Jiannu with heavy losses.

For the artillery of the Ming army, Jiannu used shield vehicles to deal with it. After approaching, he still rushed up and defeated the Ming army in hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, whether it is a professor of martial arts or a general who has fought with Jiannu, there is almost a consensus, that is, the melee combat of the Ming army is the biggest flaw.

The defensive battle of Fort Arthur was able to win a complete victory, firstly, the sharpness of the Lumi gun was beyond Jiannu's expectations, and secondly, the thunderbolt thrown by the grenadier exerted the power of the flowering bomb.

Of course, the preset and complete fortifications are the key factors for success.

What made Zhu Youxiao feel relieved was that in the final field battle, the pikemen sword and shield men withstood Jiannu's melee charge.

Although it is at a disadvantage, although it does not last long, it is commendable. This proves that the New Army's rigorous training for more than half a year and the strict punishment and strict laws in the army have played a role.

Zhu Youxiao read it carefully, thought about it seriously, and was happy in his heart, and knew that it was time to continue to strengthen the weapons and equipment of the new army.

Learning war in the war, Jiannu, who is inferior to the Ming Dynasty in terms of overall strength, should have more motivation and desire to learn and improve.

This time we suffered a big loss, and our tactics will definitely change in the future.

If I were a Jiannu, how would I deal with the sharp firearms equipped by the Ming army and reverse the unfavorable situation of the match?

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time, smiled slightly, put away the report, and prepared to hand it over to the military department and martial arts first, so that they could study and discuss, and after drawing conclusions, he would see if he could pick up the missing pieces and fill in the gaps.

"It's a lot of money!"

Zhu Youxiao said this, but there was not the slightest look of pain on his face, and he said to Wang Tiqian with a smile: "The front-line soldiers are fighting to the death, and this reward and pension cannot be delayed, nor can it be less. ”

"The emperor's reward for officers and soldiers is really the benevolence of the master." Wang Tiqian bowed down and replied: "The slave thinks that if the household department is not enough, it will not be too late to use the internal funds. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then go to the household department to pay the reward first." Well, for meritorious generals, I also have to be rewarded. The recent incoming of the inner treasury should be sufficient. Wang Ban wants to save money for me, but he can't chill the hearts of the front-line soldiers. ”

"Yes, the emperor is wise." Wang Tiqian saw that the emperor understood his hard work, and secretly rejoiced.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled that Wang Tiqian could step back.

Nesting his body comfortably in the imperial chair, Zhu Youxiao touched his chin and wondered if he was doing something in Beijing, so that the people could truly feel the benefits of victory at the front.

You can't spend too much money, you have to benefit without spending money, what's the good on the hour?
