Chapter 67 Yang Ho's Dismissal and Loyalty and Promotion (Seeking a New Chapter)

At this time, Yuan Yingtai can be said to be arrogant, after all, there is evidence in hand, and they can't deny it.

Liu Yijing, who had been frowning just now, also showed a smug smile, with this kind of false report, they could pull Yang Hao down from the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy.

Even the first assistant party looked at Yang Hao with a trace of resentment in his eyes, as if to say: "You actually said this kind of thing openly in the camp, and you won't talk about it in private?" ”

Even in his heart, he has begun to calculate the candidate to replace Yang Hao.

Even if the Donglin Party can bring down Yang Ho, it doesn't mean that they are the final winners.

Li Xianzhong said: "This is true, I did say this; It was indeed Yang Jingluo who reminded me to make up for this military merit. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Hao's face was quite ugly, and cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead!

Yuan Yingtai breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the matter has finally come to pass.

However, Li Xianzhong said again: "But what does it matter if you falsely report your military exploits? ”

"The last general's first attack didn't know that the auxiliary soldiers could also be reported as military merits, Yang Jingluo told the last general, where did he mention that he wanted to falsely report his military merits?"

"The last general will cut off the heads of the old and weak people who resist in the construction of the village, can there be a fraud, how can you make a false report?"

Yuan Yingtai's face was flushed with anger at this time, so obviously implying a false report, Li Xianzhong actually insisted that there was no.

But when he wanted to refute, he couldn't speak, because Yang Hao really didn't explicitly say that he wanted Li Xianzhong to make a false report.

At this time, Li Xianzhong continued to mend the knife and said: "The last general just truthfully reported the capture, as for how to calculate the head of these auxiliaries, the matter of the military department at this time, but the general must be truthfully reported." ”

"So I don't understand how Yuan Shilang's false report of military exploits came to the conclusion?"

In addition to Yang Hao and Li Xianzhong, Yan Mingtai, the supervisor of the South Road, was also present at the time, and soon Yan Mingtai also proved that he did not lie about his military exploits at that time.

As the supervisor of the Southern Route Army, Yan Mingtai's words are the most convincing, after all, this is his own job.

Yuan Yingtai can now understand that all the civil and military generals in Liaodong are wearing a pair of pants.

They were determined to make this Liaodong War a great victory, so that they could take advantage of it to ask for merit and reward.

He couldn't ask Li Xianzhong why, so he ended his questioning.

It can be said that the Donglin Party's calculations have basically failed, and almost no substantive progress has been made.

The only thing they were able to hold on to was that Yang Hao's report that the Northwest Army had annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, without any basis.

However, this result Yang Ho was originally estimated, and it is normal for there to be discrepancies.

Yuan Yingtai was not panicked, although the result was bad, they were not without tricks.

Finally, it came to the results inventory stage.

Even though they did not catch Yang Hao's real hammer for falsely reporting his exploits, the losses of the Ming army were far greater than those of Jianlu, and Jianguo entered Qinghe Road, Shenyang Zhongwei, wantonly destroyed the city, and plundered the people It is always an irrefutable fact.

The Northwest Route Army lost 32,000 casualties. The Donglin Party must not have recognized the result of destroying 10,000 enemies, and finally estimated the loss of Jianyu to 5,000.

Even the Donglin Party people couldn't imagine that the actual number of enemies killed by the Ming army was even smaller than this.

The number of soldiers reported by the two southeastern route armies for the annihilation of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou was about 17,000, the casualties of the Ming army itself were about 8,000 in the Eastern Route Army, and the Southern Route Army, including the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, also had 6,000 people.

However, the six or seven thousand Eight Banners annihilated by Yan Mingtai at Qinghe Fort and Li Xianzhong's cavalry at Qinghe Road did not have the support of the first rank, but only estimated.

Therefore, Yuan Yingtai gave a seven-fold discount to this number, and finally believed that the number of Tartar soldiers annihilated was about 15,000.

As for the nearly 20,000 Tartars killed by Li Xianzhong in the hinterland of Jianzhou twice, they didn't think of them as auxiliaries.

About 40,000 people were captured by Jianzhou in the vicinity of Qinghe Road and Shenyang Zhongwei in the Ming Dynasty, while Li Xianzhong killed about 20,000 old and weak people in Jianzhou, and rescued 12,000 people.

The population loss of the Ming Dynasty inside and outside is significantly greater than the gain.

Although the Ming army destroyed Gule Village, the second largest city in Jianzhou, Qinghe Fort was also completely destroyed by the Qing army.

Therefore, Yuan Yingtai finally came to the conclusion that in the battle of Liaodong, the Ming army was defeated in the northwest and west; The losses of the southeast and southeast roads were basically the same as those of Jianyu, which was considered a draw.

Therefore, there is no "Liaodong victory", and this battle was actually lost by the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, the actual number of heads identified by the Ministry of War was much smaller than what they had reported, and Liu Wei and Li Xianzhong submitted more than 10,000 Tartar heads, and in the end, the Ministry of War approved that only 6,000 heads could be rewarded.

Liu Wei has 1800 levels under his name, and Li Xianzhong has 4200 levels under his name.

Li Xianzhong also raised objections to this, he paid great attention to the preservation of the head from the beginning, and they used firearms to kill and injure very few prisoners, how could 3 percent of the head be removed?

The explanation of the military department is that they have their own verification process, and some characteristics that are not obvious will not be calculated.

The quality of the first level submitted by Li Xianzhong is indeed better than that of Liu Ling, so the pass rate of the Eastern Route Army is only a little more than half, while he has reached seventy.

Good guy, Yuan Yingtai is a proper hooligan, and Li Xianzhong is helpless about this.

At this time, Huang Jiashan, the first assistant Fang Congzhe and the secretary of the military department, was also on Yuan Yingtai's side.

It's very simple that there is no silver in the household, although Wanli promised to reward him with silver when he thought it was a big victory, but now this "big victory" wants him to pay for the silver is absolutely impossible.

In the end, the silver reward for the first level of each level was only 20 taels, which was still a lot less than the 50 taels at the peak. However, as compensation, the promotion of soldiers above the level of beheading 3 and meritorious generals will still be implemented.

Regarding the determination of the results of the battle of Liaodong, especially the draw between the two route armies in the southeast, Huang Jiashan disagreed.

Although judging from the losses of both sides, Daming and Jianyu are about the same.

However, of the 8,000 men lost by the Eastern Route Army, 5,000 were old and weak.

If the old and weak are also counted, then the 20,000 Jianyu who Li Xianzhong swept the rear should also be counted, and the Ming Dynasty is still a proper victory.

Moreover, Li Xianzhong also captured the traitor Li Yongfang and killed the enemy chieftain Abatai and Amin.

Gule Village is a famous city in Jianzhou, and its status is much higher than that of Qinghe Fort.

So the southeast two roads are obviously my Ming victory, and it is a big victory.

Under Huang Jiashan's arguments, the Donglin Party finally had to admit that the Ming army on the southeast and southeast roads had won a small victory.

They insisted that Houjin's loss did not exceed that of Daming, and with other factors, it could only be regarded as a small victory at best.

At this time, Li Xianzhong said: "The day before the last general went to Beijing, Jianyu invaded Tieling again, and the last general led the Liaodong iron cavalry to chase into Jianzhou for more than 30 miles, and finally defeated it. ”

"In this battle, our Ming army beheaded the 800-level Yellow Banner of Jianzhou, and the last general personally killed Nurhachi's henchman Fei Yingdong."

"The last general should be damned, he even forgot about this matter, and I will have the head sent to the military department."

At this time, Huang Jiashan said excitedly: "General Li is really a brave general, rest assured that this time the first-level military department will carefully screen it, and it will not make the Liaodong soldiers feel cold!" ”

Liu Yijing said: "Even if our Ming army wins the southeast two roads, it is only one win and one loss, my Ming Dynasty has more than 46,000 soldiers killed in the battle, and the soldiers lost by Jianyu are only 21,000, how can such a battle loss be regarded as a great victory?" ”

At this time, the first assistant Fang Yizhe said: "Although it is a victory and a defeat, Jianzhou has been hit hard and it is difficult to recover for a while; Although my Daming suffered a lot of losses, it did not hurt my muscles and bones. The battle of Liaodong was only temporarily stopped, in fact, it was not over yet, and it was too early to say victory or defeat. ”

"This pavilion thinks that merit is merit, and it is excessive. Nor can the fault of some people erase the merits of others. ”

The biggest "backstabber" of the Liaodong War, Shanhaiguan General Soldier Du Song was the culprit who led to the defeat of the Northwest Route Army, but after all, he had already died in battle, so he would not be punished as an additional one.

Kaiyuan's general army Ma Lin fought unfavorably, resulting in the rout of the Northern Route Army, but remembering his brave fighting, his two sons sacrificed their lives for the country, so they dismissed him lightly.

This time, the captives entered the hinterland of Liaodong, resulting in a large number of people being taken captive near Shenyang in Qinghe, and Zhou Yongchun, the governor of Liaodong, had an unshirkable responsibility, so he was temporarily dismissed.

Li Rubai, the commander of the Southern Route Army, was promoted to the deputy envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy, temporarily commanding the military affairs of Liaodong.

Li Xianzhong, the former Tieling staff general, went deep into the enemy territory many times to kill the enemy chieftain, made great contributions, and was promoted to the deputy chief of Kaiyuan, temporarily leading the original road.

The former Liaodong servant, Yan Mingtai, the supervisor of the South Road, fought a bloody battle to rebuild Qinghe Fort, and the supervisor of the South Road won a lot, so that he temporarily acted as the governor of Liaodong.

All other meritorious personnel will also be promoted.

Due to the repeated insistence of the Donglin Party, the battle situation in this Liaodong War was not satisfactory, so the Liaodong Economic Strategy and the Liaodong Governor had to be replaced.

However, there is now an endless debate between the two sides about the selection of the governor of Liaodong and Liaodong.

The Ministry of War and the Cabinet proposed that Xiong Tingbi be appointed as the governor of Liaodong, and Yan Mingtai should be promoted to the governor of Liaodong; However, the Donglin Party insisted that Yuan Yingtai serve as the governor of Liaodong and Zhou Shunchang serve as the governor of Liaodong.

In addition, the Donglin Party resolutely opposed the direct promotion of Li Xianzhong to the chief soldier of Kaiyuan, believing that he was too young, and Yang Hao had just promoted him from a guerrilla to a general, so it was not appropriate to be promoted too quickly, so he was only promoted to deputy chief soldier for the time being.

For these three appointments and dismissals, they decided to play the final decision by Wanli.
