Chapter 39 Revenge

 "Tell me, why was our army able to defeat the Sizhou Army in this battle?"

After every major battle, the top brass of the Jing Army must hold a military summary meeting. This is the rule Zhu Hengjia set after his defeat at Daming Mountain.

"It all depends on the supervisor's command!"

"The supervising country is like a martial artist descending to the earth, so he can fight a hundred battles without danger."

"If you gain the right, you will get more help, but if you lose the right, you will get less help! It is the destiny of the country to supervise the country! The barbarian chiefs cannot stop it."

I wear it a thousand times, but I don’t wear flattery! Listening to the flood of flattery is really a great enjoyment in life!

"You have given me too much praise! You don't know how capable I am? The fact that this battle was fought so well is all thanks to the efforts of your ministers!" Zhu Hengjia knew this fact that everyone carried the sedan chair.

"But what I want to know most is what shortcomings our army has. If we fight in formation, can we stop the Tatars' iron hoof?"

When he heard that he was about to fight the Tatars, Li Mingzhong was the first to speak: "In charge of the supervision of the country, I believe that our army currently has two shortcomings: first, the lack of cavalry; second, the range of the fire blunderbuss is too short. It is difficult to encounter the harassment tactics of the Tatar cavalry.

I want to get a bargain. I suggest increasing the number of cavalry."

Zhu Hengjia thought to himself: I also want to expand the cavalry, but the south does not produce horses. When I pick up my writing brush, I will write down this first.

"Jianguo, today the Sizhou Army's selected vanguards are wearing double armor, which has caused a lot of casualties to our army. I think that we can form an army like this, and equipped with a horse-cutting sword, which is specialized in cutting horse legs, it should be able to restrain the Tatars.

"Cavalry", Fan Youxian offers advice.

Zhu Hengjia's eyes lit up. In history, Zheng Chenggong used this trick against the Qing army's cavalry. He picked up his writing brush and wrote down one more thing.

"In the supervision of the country, the Tatars have thick armor, and some even wear double armor. It is difficult for ordinary arrows to penetrate their armor, and the distance of the fire blunderbuss is too short, only eighty steps. I suggest that more artillery and arrows be equipped.

"Change it to heavy arrows", Wang Xiang offered advice.

"Yeah! That's a good idea!" Zhu Hengjia made another note.

The monarch and his ministers were chatting about speculation when they suddenly reported that Sha Dingzhou, the chieftain of Yunnan, had sent an envoy.

??

Now is the critical moment to capture Sicheng. Zhu Hengjia did not dare to neglect Sha Dingzhou's envoy, fearing that he would cause trouble behind his back.

"Why are the envoys here?" Zhu Hengjia asked with a warm smile.

"Your Excellency, the General Palace, sent your subordinate here to ask for something." The envoy also smiled with a smile on his face.

"Your lord and I are like brothers. If you don't want anything, just say it."

"Two biwing flowers grow on Yuquan Mountain in Kunming. The beautiful little lark is going to marry the little sun in the sky. My Lord wants to marry the country of Jian, and marry his apple to the crown prince of the country."

When he heard this, Zhu Hengjia almost spit out his tea. He was so angry: You Sha Dingzhou dared to take advantage of an orphan. You didn't even urinate and take pictures! The orphan family is the son of the dragon, you are the grandson of the dragon.

The family is just a small chieftain. According to later generations, one is a high-ranking cadre and the other is the village chief. How can the son of an orphan marry the daughter of a borer? Bah! Bah! Bah, bah, bah!

The more Zhu Hengjia thought about it, the angrier he became. His face turned the color of pig liver, and he was about to have an attack. Suddenly he saw Zheng Feng winking at him.

"Zheng Qing, what do you think?"

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Oh, do you think this is a happy event?"

"What a happy event! With the marriage between Jianguo and General Sha, Yunnan will become a barrier to Guangxi, and His Highness can attack Sicheng with peace of mind."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Zheng Qing said it was a happy event, so it must be a happy event! Gu Ye thought it was a happy event. Hahaha!"

Afterwards, Zhu Hengjia complained that Zheng Feng persuaded him to marry Sha Dingzhou. In the end, Zheng Feng said that he just deceived Sha Dingzhou and regretted it after taking Sicheng. Zhu Hengjia said that he was a dignified supervisor of the country, so it was not good to do so, right? Zheng Feng said that it didn't matter. Yes, villains bully them.

??

The setting sun was as red as blood, so red that it made people palpitate. A group of old crows croaked on the corpses all over the city. Sicheng was captured.

A young man holds a knife in his right hand and a human head in his left hand, walking through the majestic government offices and long corridors of the Chieftain's Mansion in Sicheng. The deep halls, exquisite roof corners, elegant hollow flower windows, and vivid relief patterns, It doesn't attract the slightest interest from the young man.

The young man walked to the flower hall behind the government office. The elegant and antique flower hall was filled with men, women and children. The gloomy atmosphere overshadowed the beautiful flower hall.

The young man walked up to the woman kneeling in front and threw the head at her feet: "This is your husband's head!"

"Zuer!" The woman called his name in horror, but the boy ignored her, as if she was not calling him.

The woman closed her eyes, with tears streaming down her face, and murmured: "Retribution! Let's do it!"

For a long time, there was no sound of a knife slashing the neck, only the sound of leaving footsteps and a deep sentence: "Ms. Cen's blood has been shed enough, I don't want to kill anyone anymore!"

"Zu'er!" This time the woman's voice trembled, full of guilt and gratitude, and tears burst out from her eyes.

The boy's footsteps paused, and the word "aunt" came to his lips, but he couldn't say it out.

The most powerful revenge is to forgive the enemy. Letting the enemy live in guilt is a hundred times better than killing.

After capturing Sicheng, Zhu Hengjia saw that Cen Jizu was pitiful and gave him a chance to take revenge and asked him to deal with Cen Zhaozhen's family. Unexpectedly, Cen Jizu only killed Cen Zhaozhen and spared Cen Zhaozhen's family.

After hearing this, Zhu Hengjia sighed: "You don't need a sword to take revenge, and you don't need soldiers to help the country. The young man of the Cen family really has the style of an ancient benevolent man!"

After pacifying Sicheng, Zhu Hengjia appointed Cen Jizu as the commander of the Anlong Tuwei in Guizhou, and ordered Huang Ma to escort Cen Jizu to Anlong Suo to subdue the original Cen family's eighteen villages in Guizhou. There was no way, the Cen family's territory in Sicheng was too big. Zhu Hengjia was already satisfied that he could eat all of Cen's territory in Guangxi. Soon Sun Ke was expected, and the remainder of Li Dingguo's Great Western Army was about to march from Sichuan to Guizhou. It was also a clever move for Li to let Cen Jizu block Sun in Guizhou.

Zhu Hengjia merged Sicheng Prefecture, Anlong Division, and Shanglin Division into Sicheng Prefecture, and made Wu Zhenyu the prefect of Sicheng. Wu Zhenyu was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen; he was also the first Jinshi who defected to him since Zhu Hengjia's rebellion, so he naturally had to be entrusted with it.

Reuse. Tianzhou was merged into the Si'en Military and Civilian Prefecture. In this way, the original eleven prefectures, eight prefectures and two chief lawsuits in Guangxi during the Ming Dynasty became twelve prefectures and one prefecture. The changes in the organizational system reflected Zhu Hengjia's return to the land in Guangxi.

Flow has achieved phased results.

"In the whole world, everything is the king's land. On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers." The pacification of the Cen family in Sicheng marked that Zhu Hengjia unified the military and political orders of Guangxi and truly became the master of Guangxi. What's the next step?

It's a long way, I will search up and down!
