Chapter 14 Borrowing Teachers to Help in Suppression
One side's morale is high, while the other's heart is cold. What follows is a one-sided pursuit.
It's just that the pursuit didn't go smoothly. The Mongols are indeed a nation that lives on horseback. Even if they lose their will to resist, they can't escape with their lives.
At least these half-baked cavalrymen of the Ming army couldn't catch up.
Zhu Gaoyuan's original intention was to keep all the Gongtu cavalry in this valley.
But the facts proved that he was overthinking. Before the Ming cavalry ambushing in the woods on both sides could completely form an encirclement, a considerable number of Mongolian cavalry had already escaped from the valley mouth and fled into the grassland.
After that, the situation becomes a chasing competition.
But how could this kind of competition rival the Mongols?
Although Jin Xuan shot and killed fourteen to five cavalrymen by himself, more than thirty cavalrymen, Gongtu cavalrymen, escaped.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent." Jin Xuan said with some shame, "I was unable to keep all the Mongolian cavalry who invaded. At least thirty more Mongolian cavalry escaped deep into the grassland."
"Don't blame yourself, dear, I don't blame you for this."
Zhu Gaoyuan comforted Jin Xuan: "You have done a good job."
It's really not Jin Xuan's fault, because this is the Mongolian's crushing skill.
Just like the Han people's vegetable-growing skills, they can crush any ethnic group in the world.
Although Jin Xuan cannot be blamed, it is an indisputable fact that more than thirty cavalrymen riding on the Gongtu tribe escaped. It is estimated that more Gongtu cavalry will return soon to take revenge.
And this time the number will not only be 200, but will most likely be 2,000, or even more.
So now I can no longer stay in this valley, and I am afraid I will have to spend the next half month wandering around.
Who allowed this idiot Sun Xiangxian to stir up the hornet's nest of Gongtu Department? It is no longer possible to live in peace and harmony.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoyuan turned around and glared at Sun Xiangxian fiercely. This idiot who failed to achieve anything but failed more than failed, had to castrate him when he turned around. Oh no, this guy had already been castrated.
Sun Xiangxian was so stared at by Zhu Gaoyuan that he was almost frightened out of his wits.
At that moment, Sun Xiangxian began to think wildly, will the Holy One kill me?
In order to survive, should I escape? But where can I escape in these barren mountains and mountains?
Fortunately, Zhu Gaoyuan just glared and shouted: "Pack up and get out of here as soon as possible!"
While talking, Zhu Gaoyuan used his waist knife to cut off the wild goose feather arrow that was still inserted in the gap between the pocket and the mask. As a result, he accidentally touched the wound and suffered another heartbreaking pain.
"Long live my Lord, I will take care of your wounds."
Wang Chengen walked quickly to Zhu Gaoyuan and said with concern.
Zhu Gaoyuan didn't dare to be too confident, because most of the arrows used by the Mongols were coated with plant poisons or soaked in corpse water, and were contaminated with a large number of viruses and bacteria. If not treated, they would become infected.
Wound infection is no joke in this era.
Wang Chengen carefully pulled out the broken arrow and helped Zhu Gaoyuan take off his pocket clasp.
I saw a two-inch long wound on Zhu Gaoyuan's right cheek, and there was a lot of blood.
"Long live my Lord, please be patient." Wang Chengen took a dagger to help Zhu Gaoyuan clean the wound. In fact, he was scraping off the outer layer of skin that might be contaminated. It hurt!
The cold sweat on Zhu Gaoyuan's face fell instantly.
Sun Xiangxian looked at Zhu Gaoyuan with even more fear.
Ministers such as Wu Linzheng had a new understanding of their emperor.
Let’s not talk about martial arts and martial arts for now, but the Holy Spirit’s toughness is really comparable to that of Taizu.
After a while, Wang Chengen scraped off the surface layer of skin, then applied gold medicine to the wound and then bandaged it. Zhu Gaoyuan immediately felt a coolness, and finally it was not so unbearable.
Taking advantage of this gap, other injured soldiers also took the time to treat their wounds.
Dozens of musketeers who were killed by arrows were buried in pits dug by their companions, but they did not dare to leave any marks.
Zhu Gaoyuan sighed and asked Wang Chengen: "Dad companion, have you written down the names of the soldiers who died for the country?"
Wang Cheng'en said: "I have written down everything I said back to Long Live Lord. Twenty-six of them are slaves in the palace, and nineteen are hereditary military households of the three camps."
"Write down your name, place of origin, and position."
Zhu Gaoyuan said: "When the capital is restored in the future, Yin Yi's son or nephew will be the Jin Yiwei hereditary for hundreds of families."
As a time traveler, Zhu Gaoyuan is very aware of the benefits of rewarding meritorious soldiers or those who have sacrificed their lives for the country. The reason why Jiannu was able to sweep through most of China in such a short period of time after entering the customs was because of the surrender of Wu Sangui, Jiang Xiang and Li Chengdong.
He will not be stingy at all, and he will give it to counts, marquises and even kings as he says.
As for whether political status and financial benefits will also be given after the title is given, that is another matter.
What's more, even if you give it, you don't have to give it now, and whether you will give it in full will have to be determined later. So no matter what you consider, this is a good deal with a guaranteed profit and no loss.
Even Jiannu could see this clearly, let alone Zhu Gaoyuan?
So with just one mouthful, dozens of royal guards and hundreds of households would reward him.
"The old slave thanked the Holy One for these slaves and the soldiers in the capital camp." Wang Chengen was so moved that he almost cried.
The rest of the Ming army also looked at Zhu Gaoyuan with warm eyes, saying, "Your Majesty is righteous. In this case, even if you die in battle, there will be nothing to regret. At least you can earn a living for your nephews."
There are hundreds of households in Jinyiwei, and they all have an official status!
…
Zhu Gaoyuan was generous, and Li Zicheng was not stingy either.
After reading Wu Xiang's handwritten letter home to him, and then learning from Bai Guangen and Tang Tong that Li Zicheng agreed that Guan Ningjun should still be under his command, Wu Sangui finally smiled.
At that moment, Wu Sangui said to Bai Guangen and Tang Tongdao: "Brother Guangen and Brother Daxuan, please tell the Lord that as soon as arrangements are made for the 200,000 Liao people to move in, I will go to Beijing to pay an audience."
Tang Tong smiled and said, "Brother Chang, does this make sense now?"
Wu Sangui said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Even if I don't think about myself, I still want to think about the whole Wu family and the 200,000 Liao people who have moved in. I can't be too selfish."
Tang Tong smiled and said, "That's right if you think so."
Bai Guangen said: "Now the three of us can go outside the customs and kill the slaves side by side."
Tang Tong said: "Speaking of establishing slaves, my lord told me before leaving that my younger brother will lead 10,000 troops to guard Shanhaiguan instead of brother eldest brother. I wonder what brother eldest brother wants?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "These are all small things." Wu Sangui said with a smile.
"I will send someone to Shanhaiguan to notify Gao Di."
"Brother Daxuan, just go and take over Shanhaiguan with peace of mind."
Wu Sangui thought to himself, it would be better for you two to go and fight with Jiannu outside the pass. I won't accompany you anyway, and I never want to go back to fight with Jiannu outside the pass in this life.
Only by making peace with Jiannu can we live a good life.
After sending Bai Guangen and Tang Tong away, Wu Sangui invited Wang Yongji and Li Yutian to the camp.
Facing Wang Yongji and Li Yutian, Wu Sangui used another set of rhetoric: "Wang Supervisor, Li Futai, the bandits are so powerful and have become a climate that our Guanning Army alone cannot defeat them.
"
"So?" Wang Yongji asked with a gloomy face, "Are you going to turn traitor and become a traitor?"
Wu Sangui said: "Master Wang, please calm down the thunderous anger. This is just a delaying tactic."
"A delaying strategy?" Wang Yongji and Li Yutian exchanged glances, and said in a deep voice, "How do you say this?"
Wu Sangui said: "On the surface, the last general promised to surrender the bandits, but in fact, he has sent Hu Xinshui and a thousand servants to go into the depths of Yanshan Mountain to search for the Holy Driver. As long as the Holy Driver is welcomed back, the two military sects can follow the story of the Tang Dynasty.
In the name of the Holy One, we use the slave-building troops to enter the pass and suppress the bandits, so as to continue our Ming Dynasty for another two hundred years."
"Borrowing teachers to help in the suppression?" Wang Yongji and Li Yutian's expressions suddenly changed.
It was not that they had never thought of establishing slaves to suppress bandits, but they just never dared to mention it in front of others.
Because an atmosphere of terror has formed in the court of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who dares to propose a cessation of land for peace, or who dares to propose abandoning the ancestral mausoleums and moving them south, will be scolded by the world's scholars, and the censor will go crazy.
Impeachment, the prime ministers of the cabinet will also add insult to injury, and then the emperor will be unable to bear the pressure.
There are so many things like this that no one dares to mention borrowing help from teachers to suppress this problem.
But now Wu Sangui actually raised it in front of them.
Wu Sangui said sincerely: "The two military sects should also know that last year the Nuqou Pass was built, and this spring the bandit troops invaded the capital. The Holy Emperor issued King Qin's order twice, but in the end very few people responded."
"Why? Because the world is corrupt and there are really no soldiers to mobilize."
"Our Guan Ning Army in Ji Town is already the last elite force that can fight."
"So, besides borrowing help from our teachers to suppress the enemy, I, the Ming Dynasty, have no other choice."
Li Yutian sighed and said: "At this point, there is really no other way to think of. However, it is easy to borrow the help of teachers to suppress the enemy, but the price we need to pay afterwards will probably be astonishingly high."
Wang Yongji remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wu Sangui said: "In the end, Jiannu is just a barbarian. No matter how big his appetite is, he can't beat the bandits. What the bandits want is the world and they want to seize the Ming Dynasty. But Jiannu just wants some people and property.
In order to follow the story of the Later Jin Dynasty, it should be enough to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Jiannu."
"It can only be the."
Wang Yongji and Li Yutian sighed at each other.
After seeing off Wang Yongji and Li Yutian, Fang Guangchen walked out from behind the screen.
Fang Guangchen said with a smile: "As long as Wang Yongji and Li Yutian are stabilized, if there is any need to borrow help from our teachers in the future, these two people will be the best scapegoats. By then, my brother will not only take care of the matter, but there will also be no need to leave anyone behind."
After he is cursed and eradicated, there will be no one in the court who can control my brother, and it is not impossible for my brother to join the cabinet as a military general and pay homage to the prime minister."
"Eh, you're thinking too far ahead." Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "Let's think about what to do now."
"What we have to do now is very simple." Fang Guangchen said with a smile, "It's just a word, drag! See if Jiannu is willing to send troops. If so, then use the army to help suppress it. If not, then simply surrender to Dashun.
, and by the way, I will dedicate Chongzhen to the new dynasty, so that my brother can at least be granted the title of Duke."
Wu Sangui frowned and said, "I still hope that Jiannu can borrow troops."
I have to say that Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen are really naive.
The ambition of Jiannu or Dorgon was seriously underestimated.
