The civil servants present felt that even if Wang Yue won, it would be false reports and exaggerations.
But just after listening to the emperor's summary of the second battle report, everyone's face showed some slightly embarrassed looks. Those who were originally prepared to come forward and question this so-called victory report had to Put away the arrogance in your heart.
Xie Qian said, "Your Majesty, could it be that the Tatars fled?"
Zhu Youtang nodded and said seriously, "I still have to blame Wang Yue for closing the border fortress." The city was badly bombed, and a lot of food, grass and baggage were lost. Using Guancheng and baggage as bait did indeed damage the prestige of the Ming Dynasty frontier army at first. However, just because he gave up the side of Guancheng, the Tatars became arrogant and indulged themselves. He achieved such a victory because of his lack of precaution."
Xie Qian wanted to say that he had both gained and lost by blowing up the head switch.
Emotions are the money used to build Guancheng. He, Wang Weining, doesn’t have to pay for it, right?
To win a battle, it would cost a lot to blow up Guancheng and rebuild it.
At this time, the ministers also began to circulate the second battle report.
Tu Yu said, "It's not that there are more than a thousand, but it's more than two thousand."
Dai Yi explained, "This does not include the Tatar soldiers who were killed by the mighty gunpowder." , more than 1,600 heads were captured, and nearly 700 were captured. If we add those who were directly killed before, it may have exceeded 3,000."
Those who can think of it now. Those who question it should weigh the risks of questioning it.
It is easy to fail to question and fall into trouble, and be blamed by the emperor for framed Zhongliang.
Everyone ignored the presence of the emperor and were all talking in low voices.
Mainly because of this result
It’s terrible.
This is the greatest result achieved by the Ming Dynasty in the northwest after the Battle of the Capital. More importantly, it was an encounter, rather than a clinging to a corner like the Battle of the Capital. Its strategic significance is equivalent to that of the Ming Dynasty. Being able to take the initiative to compete head-on with the Tatars and achieve brilliant results
The Ming Dynasty's border strategy of focusing on defense against the Tatars may change as a result.
It just so happened that the grassland was completing a unified war. If Huoshi was defeated, without the Ming Dynasty taking action, it is estimated that Dayan Khan would take advantage of the situation. What kind of grand master, once the interests of these tribes in the grassland were involved? Disputes, annexations, and no mercy.
The plate is only so big, if you take it, how will others eat it?
When you are awesome, they will let you.
When you are down and out, people will naturally rush to share your food.
The history of sifting through fire seems to be coming to an end.
Xu Qiong came out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Weining has achieved such a record, and the soldiers of the three armies should be commended and rewarded."
It was Xu Qiong who took the lead in congratulating him before, and Xu Qiong naturally did the same this time. He came out to show that he wanted to be rewarded for military merit.
Zhu Youtang sighed, "At the end of the day, it is just Wang Yue's statement. The specific results will depend on the follow-up results. I will also add more results based on the results of all parties."As proof, I will not treat those who have meritorious service unfairly, nor will I tolerate those who have made mistakes. Dear friends, you have had a hard day today, so please go away. ”
The ministers felt bad.
Before, they clamored to investigate Wang Yue, saying that Wang Yue had falsely reported his military exploits.
Now Wang Yue His achievements have more than doubled, from killing and capturing 1,000 Tatar soldiers to nearly 3,000, and even more than 3,000. But now, they have lost their temper, but the emperor has become more rational.
Because there were some things that Wang Yue did not dare to make up like this.
He was at this moment
Who could he ask to explain?
The ministers were about to leave the palace, and Tu Yu couldn't bear it. He asked, "Your Majesty, what is the mighty gunpowder?"
Zhu Youtang was about to leave the Wenhua Palace. When he heard this, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words, because this was what he was leading. He pointed at Dai Yi and asked Dai Yi to say something that he was proud of.
Dai Yi smiled and said, "Tu Shangshu, it's like this. This gunpowder is amazingly powerful. It can break mountains and rocks. It was prepared by Zhang Zhou and Zhang Gongsheng of the Imperial Academy. After Dongchang sent people to study the formula, it was produced in large quantities and used in actual battles in the northwest. His Majesty gave it the name Mighty Sky Gunpowder. "
"Ah"
The scene was in an uproar.
About "Zhang Gongsheng", almost no one has seen it, and it is mysterious, but there are rumors about this person It has been heard a lot recently, especially after the fire in Qingning Palace and the earthquake in Xinye, Henan, that ministers were also impressed by his ability to predict heavenly secrets, and they probably wanted to regard Zhang Zhou as the future imperial eunuch.
The current Qintian Supervisor Wu Hao can give way
Now
Not only can he detect heavenly secrets, but he can also study gunpowder and help Wang Weining achieve the great victory in the northwest
Zhu Youtang added, "This northwest Tatar military strategy was all calculated by Zhang Zhou and Zhang Qing's family years ago, and they made suggestions. With the military merits of the mighty gunpowder, I naturally cannot treat him badly. ”
Liu Jian heard some signs.
The emperor may have wanted to take advantage of Wang Yue’s victory to give Zhang Zhou military merit and even a title
This is a A signal of danger.
He hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty, there are still many uncertainties in the war situation in the northwest. We should deploy troops and horses from all parties to prevent the Tatars from laxly guarding our remote passes and waiting for opportunities to enter. As for the matter of asking for rewards based on merit, it should be decided as appropriate after the war in the northwest subsides. ”
Zhu Youtang was not in a hurry to criticize Zhang Zhou’s merits. He also knew that this matter would definitely encounter resistance from civil servants, so he nodded without forcing it.
"Let's discuss it later, but it is expected that Wang Weining will be in charge of Pianguan, and the Tatars will not dare to invade again."
The minister's name for Wang Weining was probably just a familiar title, because the name was older than Wang Yue himself. His name was very loud, and the emperor suddenly called Wang Yue "Wang Weining", which was a hint to the ministers present that I actually wanted to return his title.
Of course many people present were concerned about this. big opinion.
When a civil official gets a title, it is always someone else’s business, and the civil official will defend it by destroying the ancestral system.
It will not be uncommon in the future for Wang Yue to even use excuses such as flattering a middle-ranking official, being dismissed for a crime, or even "contrary to the late emperor's employment" in the future.
It’s just that at this special moment, no matter how serious the minister’s opinion is, he can only reserve it for now.
The ministers left the palace in groups and noisy discussions.
Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian were left behind. They would go to the Qianqing Palace. At the same time, they were also summoned by the emperor to see the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui, and the Chengguo Duke Zhu Fu.
The Baoguogong lineage can be regarded as a typical example of military honors and titles after the Jingnan. Zhu Hui's grandfather Zhu Qian relied on the defense of the capital to guard the pass after the war, and was awarded the title of Fu Ningbo, while his father Zhu Yong was In the 15th year of Chenghua, he sent troops to establish the state of Jurchen. He "captured 695 levels, captured 486 people, destroyed more than 450 villages, captured more than a thousand cattle and horses, and countless armors and weapons." For his meritorious service, he received the title of Hereditary Protector of the Country.
Zhu Yong did not pass away until the ninth year of Hongzhi. He was the last among the first-generation princes of each family to receive a title, and was also the last to die.
The Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui is now in his fifties, because he and his father had followed Wang Yue to fight the Tatars in the northwest. The purpose of Zhu Youtang summoning him this time was to I wanted to send him to the northwest to assist Wang Yue.
In the Qianqing Palace.
Wen Chen and Wu Xun were listed on both sides.
Zhu Youtang first asked General Dai Yi to tell the three princes present what he had said before in the Wenhua Hall.
The reaction of the three people was much more direct than that of the civil servants. Zhang Mao was even more delighted and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. It seems that we can pacify the wolves in the grassland on the border of Ming Dynasty and revive the Fenglang." "Ju Xu's great achievements"
"Okay, okay." Zhu Youtang couldn't listen.
Let me tell you something serious. What kind of flattery are you talking about, old man Zhang? Can we do something real?
Zhu Youtang looked at Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu who was standing aside. , said: "Dong Cheng, your son is in the northwest, led the right army troops, stormed into the city, killed one Di Yi with his own hands, captured more than a hundred prisoners, and his army killed hundreds of Di Yi's heads in the formation. , such bravery, it really makes me happy that he is a general."
"Uh"
Zhu Fu heard this.
What is going on?
Are you talking about my son? Or is it that besides my second son Zhu Feng, I have other sons with the army?
Kill Di personally He was a barbarian, captured more than a hundred enemy troops, and led his troops to kill hundreds of Tatars
"Quinzi is just joining the army for the first time, so he must have no experience." Zhu Fu felt outrageous when he heard that, To be cautious, it is better not to admit that this is his son.
He encouraged Zhu Feng to go to the northwest with the army. Of course he felt good about being able to practice with Wang Yue.
But if Wang Yue said that he would give Zhu Feng all his troops and let Zhu Feng assist in leading the troops
Zhu Fu would not believe it.
Comparing one’s feelings with one’s own, even meIt's impossible for me to give military power to that bastard. He is just a second-generation knight who is waiting to die. He doesn't even have the right to inherit the title
What can he do?
Wang Yue Don't you have eyes?
Zhu Youtang took out a war report, "Knowing that he was so brave and fearless, even I didn't expect that he would travel thousands of miles away to the capital to offer medicine to the princess. I thought at that time. I feel that he is loyal and loyal, and he has lived up to the trust that I and Wang Yue have placed in him. Oh, and Zhang Zhou also appreciates him. Bingkuan has always had a good vision."
When Zhu Feng heard this, his heart was surging.
That’s really my son
This kid
It’s enough to step on shit once, but how come it’s not over after you step on it? Is it green?
He understands one thing.
Zhang Zhou played an irreplaceable role in his son's meritorious service.
Perhaps Wang Weining just wanted to give Zhang Zhou face, so he deliberately missed a great contribution to his son and let his son get a big advantage.
"The battle at Pianguan has just ended, and the war situation has not calmed down yet. After everything is settled, I will reward him as appropriate and give him a title." Zhu Youtang was very generous.
Judging from Zhu Feng’s military exploits in leading a group of troops into Pianguan, it was indeed enough to earn him a title.
After all, Zhu Feng is not a civil official. He is the son of a military commander. The conditions for military commanders to obtain titles are not as harsh as those for civilian officials.
It is also a question of whether to give or not.
But who told Zhu Feng to be confused with Zhang Zhou?
From Zhu Youtang’s perspective, Zhu Feng’s greatest contribution was to recommend Zhang Zhou to the emperor. He just wanted to find a way to reward him, and Wang Yue happened to give Zhu Feng another opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Zhu Feng also tried his best. No matter how he performed on the battlefield, at least he had a famous general to lead him, and the famous general was willing to give him the credit. Then
even if the emperor wanted to do a favor, it was natural for him to give Zhu Feng a title.
"I am ashamed of myself." Zhu Fu quickly knelt down and declined politely.
"Your Majesty" can't even listen to Liu Jian and wants to come out to oppose it.
It's not that Liu Jian thinks Zhu Feng is not suitable for the title, he doesn't even bother to consider this issue.
He objected because he felt that the situation of the war was still unclear, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the current situation at the frontier was not yet known, so the rear began to reward according to merit
Zhu Youtang He interrupted Liu Jian and said, "I just have this idea and haven't decided yet. Mr. Liu Ge doesn't need to object first. The court will discuss it later."
Liu Jian can only retreat.
He knew that once the emperor had this idea, it would be almost certain that Zhu Feng would win the title.
Once the emperor opens his mouth, it will be impossible to take it back unless there are some major changes.
"Guo Bao Gong." Zhu Youtang said.
"I'm here." Zhu Hui quickly knelt down.
These generals are like no other, in anyHe had to show his loyalty to the emperor at all times, and his kneeling posture was very smooth.
Zhu Youtang said, "It doesn't have to be like this. I want you to go to the northwest and serve as the chief military officer to assist Wang Yue in finishing the battle at Pianguan."
Ma Wensheng raised the wat board. He said: "Your Majesty, then Pingjiang Bo"
The current chief military officer under Wang Yue is actually Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui. Since the emperor wants to transfer Zhu Hui to Pianguan as the chief military officer, he naturally wants to send Chen Rui to Pingjiang Bo. Rui's official position was dismissed, but this was a good news. The chief military officer was changed before the battle, which could not be justified.
Zhu Youtang also looked a little unkind. Although Wang Yue did not say anything bad about Chen Rui in his memorial, at the critical moment Lao Wang still knew the importance of military unity and would not go ahead while taking credit. To slander his colleagues is to show that he has no character.
But Chen Rui’s past behavior was as if the emperor didn’t know.
Why does the emperor keep Dongchang and Jinyiwei? Don’t you even know that you, Chen Rui, are afraid of the fire sieve? If it weren’t for the fact that you have been fighting in the northwest for many years and have experience, I would not let you cooperate with Wang Yue .
I thought that by following Wang Yue, you would be able to perform well and reverse the bad reputation that was brought against you.
The result is good for you
When we evacuated from Pianguan, you led the troops and ran away
In this way, I can still keep you in Pianguan
< p>It’s easy for your mouse excrement to ruin the entire Northwest Great Victory."As for Uncle Ping Jiang, I plan to transfer him to the Xuan Mansion and serve as the chief military officer first. After the matter calms down, I will transfer him."
Chen Rui could have been transferred. Ningxia beat Dayan Khan.
Because Chen Rui did not fall behind in the battle with Dayan Khan, Chen Rui can be regarded as the one with higher qualifications and prestige among the martial arts in the northwest.
But now that we have won the battle at Piantou Pass, the emperor feels that this is no longer necessary. You, Chen Rui, should go to the Xuan Mansion for a few days first. After the war is over, you will be transferred back to the capital to rest. , or arrange you to go to the southwest to guard the mountain stronghold, or to go to Jinghai in the southeast
The world is so big, there is always a place that can be arranged for you to go.
It’s just that the Northwest is not suitable for you.
It is enough for me to have Wang Weining in charge in the northwest.
Zhu Hui said, "I accept my order."
Although the situation in the northwest has basically been determined, Zhu Hui knew that there might not be a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the northwest, but now Wang Yue is The limelight is unparalleled. Who in the army doesn't want to follow the famous general?
Even if you pick up what Wang Yue left and get some qualifications, you will be able to benefit a lot.
Zhu Hui had just inherited his father's title for less than three years and had not made any achievements. This naturally became his best opportunity, otherwise he would have to be the admiral of one battalion of the 12th Regiment.
The distance between the princes of other families is often the governor of the Dudu Mansion, the admiral of the capital camp, and the honorary minister of the Nanjing garrison. The gap is still a bit big. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
