Chapter 91: Wang Hongyu Promoted to President Qian, please follow up)
The next day, Yuan Yingtai went to Shenyang in person to reward him.
Because the Liao army pursued a long distance in the end, and He Shixian had the highest official position, most of the armor, horses, weapons, money and food and other trophies were awarded to He Shixian and You Shigong.
Originally, You Shilu wanted to say something to the Nanjun army, but when he saw that his brother had benefited a lot from following him, he found it difficult to say anything.
Yuan Yingtai wrote another memorial, vigorously publicizing He Shixian's first contribution, and seeking for him the extremely honorable post of Governor Zuo of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.
He Shixian was of course overjoyed. In addition, Yuan Yingtai privately promised him sufficient food and salary, and put the entire Shenyang front line under his control. He prioritized replenishing strong troops, greatly relaxed control, and completely surrendered to Yuan Yingtai from then on.
The other generals who participated in this battle also received many rewards. Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping, and You Shilu were rewarded with real money and food. Wang Hongyu was promoted from Dai Qianzong to the official Qianzong.
Also, Zhang Shenwu was promoted from the aiding Liao general to the Guangning general with actual station. The aiding Liao general was equivalent to a nominal general, but the actual number of troops was limited. Guangning was an important town, so he became an important town staff general. The quotas and supplies of troops are far better than those of nominal generals.
But this also means that Zhang Shenwu was transferred away by Yuan Yingtai.
From the group assisting the Southern Army of Liaoning, they were transferred to the Liaodong system and will no longer act with the Southern Army in the future.
Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu were still enjoying their victory over Xianglan Banner, but Wang Hongyu saw through Yuan Yingtai's thoughts.
He was on guard against Zhang Quan, the patrol commander of Liaodong, and Qin Liangyu, the chieftain of Shizhu, trying to evade him; he was guarding against the Southern Army showing its military prowess, making military exploits, and overpowering the Liao and Mongols.
Therefore, Qin Liangyu was left in Shanhaiguan last time, and Zhang Shenwu was transferred from the front line of Liaoyang and Shenyang to the support position of Guangning this time.
Combined with the fact that Yuan Yingtai went to Shenyang in person this time, but Zhang Quan was left behind in Liaoyang, it shows that he was also on guard against He Shixian getting close to Zhang Quan, and wanted to win over the number one general in Liaodong to his side.
Yuan Yingtai is such a good man. He doesn't want to mobilize more troops and horses to join the battle, but just defends this and that.
In this battle north of Shenyang, if he orders Shenyang He Shixian to kill the enemy with all his strength, and if he arranges for Jiang Bi, Liang Zhongshan, and Zhao Shujiao to also participate in detours to cut off the retreat, it will definitely cause the retreating Xianglan Banner to bleed.
Yuan Yingtai currently has Donglin Zhao Nanxing and others as backers in the court, and has also reached in-depth cooperation with He Shixian in Liaodong. It is not the best idea to break with him head-on. It is better to temporarily use his strength to improve his status and accumulate merits to defeat Jiannu.
At least this person was kind to the generals, gave him plenty of money and food, and was able to pull wool over his head.
Wang Hongyu quickly exchanged opinions with his eldest brother and second brother.
Zhang Shenwu went to Guangning to serve as a staff general. Although the three brothers were temporarily separated, they could also take the opportunity to recruit more soldiers, upgrade weapons and equipment, and accumulate a large amount of intelligence.
The second brother gave himself a somewhat regretful look at this time, and then glanced at the eldest brother.
Wang Hongyu knew that the second brother was sorry that the eldest brother could not go to Guangning to take up a post.
Qin Ling's intelligence station is in Guangning, and the eldest brother is better at recruiting, raising and training troops than the second brother. If the eldest brother cooperates with Qin Ling, not only can he get twice the result with half the effort, but also...
The eldest brother interrupted the eye contact between the two angrily, and then said seriously: "This time our Southern Army is cooperating with the Northern Army, and a mere Amin is nothing to be afraid of. No matter what we think about the strategic arrangement later, we will cooperate with the Northern Army We also need to pay attention to unity in this area.”
Both Zhang Shenwu and Wang Hongyu were promoted this time, which enhanced the reputation of the Confederate Army. Wang Hongyu, in particular, killed the enemy in formation and became a well-known warrior in the army.
During the celebration and banquet, the three brothers did not show any dissatisfaction with Yuan Yingtai's arrangements. They also intended to maintain friendly relations with Jiliao Bingjiang, which gave Yuan Yingtai and He Shixian enough face.
Many of the Northern Army were quite jealous of the Southern Army, but seeing that there were benefits to fighting together, especially since the Northern Army had greater merit and the Southern Army did not rob them at all, the hostility in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
Only Tong Zhongkui was a good-natured person and a fierce general from Nanjing. After drinking wine, he vomited a few fragrant words and had the straightforwardness of Nanjing's big radish.
When Zhou Dunji saw it, he quickly pulled him down to sober up. Fortunately, the words he just scolded Yuan Yingtai and He Shixian were all in dialect. They had never been in Nanzhili and didn't understand anything.
As a junior, Wang Hongyu was promoted to an official position. He happily toasted to all the generals and followed the northern style of drinking heavily and eating large portions of meat. He was very forthright and put aside any barriers with the generals.
In fact, I feel that the wine is too unpleasant to drink, and the cooking method of the meat is too monotonous, which is too embarrassing for the food-loving country. If there is a chance, I must make good use of the military rations, which not only has enough energy, but also tastes good to boost morale.
Seeing this, Yuan Yingtai stopped thinking about squeezing the Confederate Army for the time being. After a few drinks, he left the scene and went to think about the troops, logistics, and next year's offensive plan.
After the banquet, the three brothers gathered together at the end of the month and will be temporarily separated from tomorrow.
"Big brother, third brother! I, Zhang Shenwu, will definitely protect you to the death!"
Wang Hongyu wanted to say that he would protect them to the death, but Zhou Dunji snatched the words away and said: "Second brother, feel free to recruit warriors to train them, but don't be too impatient when things happen. I have a good relationship on the front line, and third brother is there to make suggestions, so I will never become the target of public criticism."
.”
Zhang Shenwu said: "Listen to the arrangement of the elder brother! But the elder brother must not carry the heavy burden alone. Don't hold back the past events between General Liu Wei and us!"
"Haha~" Zhou Dunji smiled knowingly, Zhang Shenwu understood him very well.
"Third brother!"
Zhang Shenwu faced Wang Hongyu and smiled freely: "Haha, my second brother has always wanted to teach you martial arts, but martial arts is not as important as military training after all."
So that’s how it is... No wonder it’s my eldest brother who has always led me to practice, while my second brother’s martial arts are on par with Liu Wei’s, but he doesn’t give me any guidance.
"My eldest brother and I don't understand the methods you usually use to train soldiers, but we can see at a glance that they are very useful. My eldest brother can see your shortcomings and let you practice specifically. Second brother, I don't dare to delay your practice and training time, so
I can only protect you~"
"Second brother! Third brother must also protect..."
Zhang Shenwu stretched out his hand to stop Wang Hongyu from continuing.
"Third brother, you should try your best to train the troops and do what you should do. The Sichuan soldiers and even the Ming Dynasty need you, so don't worry about me. What's more, I am in Guangning, which is far behind."
The efforts I have made in the past few months have always been noticed by my eldest brother and my second brother. It turns out that they have been observing me, discussing the missing parts of my training, and then giving me special training that may seem boring but is of great significance.
This is the real guidance and teaching. Although no one teaches step by step, the moment of understanding is always so memorable.
However, the three brothers were about to be separated temporarily. They just felt that although Guangning was very close to the front line, a large rock was deliberately placed across the road to block the road.
