Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to rein in and stop his horse. He didn't know what stupidity this commoner had committed to dare to block the way of the army.
The noisy people on both sides of the official road also fell silent for a moment, and they all looked at the short man in the middle of the road.
"That man, blocking the army is a serious crime!" one of Cao Wenzhao's personal guards warned.
The short man suddenly fell to his knees with a plop. He straightened up and begged Cao Wen for an edict: "This general, my father-in-law's family who was so kind to me was destroyed by the Tatars. The common people begged the general to kill a few more."
Tatars, the common people kowtow to you!"
Cao Wenzhao was stunned for a moment and before he could speak, he saw another commoner walking onto the official road and kneeling down to him.
Then, more and more people knelt down and begged him to kill more Tatars to avenge their murdered relatives.
Only less than half of the people were still standing there. These people, like the strong men, came to watch the excitement and see this vengeful army. Therefore, they did not kneel down and still stood by the official road.
Cao Wenzhao looked at the people kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. It was the ability of the army that allowed so many people's relatives to be killed by the Tatars.
He clasped his fists on horseback and said loudly and sincerely to the people kneeling on the ground: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, Cao swears here that he will make the Tatars pay the price they deserve. Now please make way, fellow villagers, Cao
Only someone can lead the army to avenge you."[
When the people kneeling on the ground saw that the leading general had expressed his stance, and that kneeling in the middle of the road was indeed not an option, they began to get up one after another to make way. However, after they got to the side of the road, they knelt down again.
The strong man was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice one of the short men kneeling on the ground: "Second brother, why are you still kneeling?"
The short man did not look back at him, but just answered him in a low voice: "They are going to fight for their lives. Second brother, I should kneel down."
When Cao Wenzhao saw that the road had been cleared, he urged his horse to move forward, but he still clasped his fists and returned salutes on both sides.
The soldiers from the death camp who followed looked at the kneeling people on both sides and heard them shouting "revenge". The pride they felt just now weakened a bit, but their hatred for the Tatars increased.
The army of revenge slowly moved away, and the strong man said to the short man: "Second brother, they have gone far. Look at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain soon. Go back quickly."
The short man nodded, then tried to stand up, but staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, the strong man helped him.
Other kneeling people began to stand up one after another, and then turned back to the capital. Along the way, the people of the capital commented on this vengeful army as they walked, and wished them a speedy return with victory.
The spring rain finally began to fall to the ground in the afternoon. Although it was not very heavy, it continued continuously. It continued until noon the next day, and then it barely stopped.
It was only at this time that the imperial court began to reward various high-ranking generals. However, those generals who came to make soy sauce were basically given casual titles, more pay, and increased real power.
Of course, there are also those with big rewards. After Zuo Yingxuan, the former magistrate of Changli County, was promoted to Jizhou Bingbei Road Shandong Province, he was once again promoted to acting governor of Yongping, responsible for the reconstruction of the county where Yongping Prefecture is located and the defense against enemies.
Lu Xiangsheng, the former deputy envoy of the Shandong Ancha Division and the prefect of Daming Prefecture, only made a small contribution in history and was promoted to the right to participate in politics and the deputy envoy of the Ancha Division. But now under the influence of Zhong Jinwei, history has changed. Lu Xiangsheng has the love of capturing slave chiefs alive.
Xinjueluo Amin, who was also responsible for blocking the Jianlu forces, served as governor of Denglai under the supervision of Zhong Jinwei and was also in charge of Dongjiang Town.
The Minzhuang army in Daming Prefecture made great achievements in blocking the rebels. All participating Minzhuang families were exempted from corvee service, and the pension for the deceased was doubled. The elderly and children in the family were raised by the court and sent to death. The survivors were organized into Lu Xiangsheng's standard camp.
Yan Yingyuan, who was originally unknown in history at this time, was promoted to a general because of his ability to capture the slave chief Aixinjueluo Amin alive and to block the establishment of captives, and commanded the new third association in Dongjiang Town, namely the Zhonghe.
In charge of the navy.
Sun Chengzong made great contributions to the restoration of the four cities of Yongping and Pingping. He was granted the title of Crown Prince and Taibao, and was appointed as the governor of Jiliao with the title of assistant minister of the cabinet.[
Qin Liangyu's Baigan Army made great efforts in recovering the four cities of Yongping, killing Jianlu and other merits, adding Prince Shaobao to the throne, and bearing the seal of General Zhendong.
Because Zu Dashou had meritorious service in eliminating his troops, and his cavalry had meritorious service in the recovery of the four cities, he was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao, and was awarded the seal of the general who suppressed the captives.
Zu Dalue was promoted to deputy general for his meritorious service in the recovery of the four cities of Yongping. He dispatched his 1,500 cavalry troops to Dengzhou Guards to await the dispatch of Governor Denglai.
Zhong Jin's guards and supervisors won the army, Qingshui Mingyue Pass blocked the first attack on the rebels, and the title of Marquis of Zhongxing was changed to hereditary.
After the reward was completed, the general soldiers from all walks of life returned to their original positions. However, Qin Liangyu still stayed in the capital to train the fifth military camp in the capital camp.
Qin Yiming, on the other hand, led 2,000 white pole infantry and 500 white pole cavalry to Zhangjiakou, preparing to garrison the Han-Mongolian trading point that was about to be greatly expanded.
This was actually requested by Zhong Jinwei in his memorial to Emperor Chongzhen, because Zhong Jinwei saw the combat power of the Xuanfu army and felt that he really couldn't stand it. And Xuanfu is an important town among the nine borders, whether it is to defend against the Mongols or
Everything else requires an elite team to be at ease.
The weather was cloudy and rainy, and it got dark very early. The people in the capital returned to their homes early to eat, sleep and snore.
As the night deepens, there are not many places in Beijing where lights are still on, but the Imperial Study Room in the Forbidden City is one place where lights are still on.
Emperor Chongzhen finished approving most of the memorials in the Imperial Study Room, stretched out, stood up, and moved his slightly numb legs.
Things were arranged one by one, and the armies that had gathered in the capital because of the Jianlu invasion finally returned to their respective stations. The logistical pressure was obviously relieved, and Emperor Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since the Jianlu invasion in October last year, Emperor Chongzhen could finally let go of his tension. Excluding the losses of officials and people in the capital, the central government's finances actually increased due to this war. The money he could mobilize became more and more.
It is becoming more and more abundant. Compared with last year, or to be precise, before the beginning of this year, it is really a huge difference.
Emperor Chongzhen was pacing carelessly while thinking about it. He thought about what he had just experienced, and couldn't help but secretly thank his ancestors. If it weren't for the blessings of his ancestors, Master Zhong could magically travel from later generations to him, and the current situation would still be different.
Don't know how bad it is.
Emperor Chongzhen thought that after Master Zhong woke up from a coma, the chaotic situation in the court slowly began to get better, and he began to do one thing after another in an orderly manner. Master Zhong was among all these good things.
The figure is inside. Master Zhong’s incredible experience is truly a gift from God for himself and the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's confidence, not to mention world hegemony, which was still too early, was only to provide disaster relief, eliminate several rebellions, and restore peace to the people. He now has strong confidence in these.
But he is not very confident about the establishment of the Liaodong captives yet. Yes, he has won a great victory against the captives. But Emperor Chongzhen is also a wise man. After carefully listening to the entire war process, he understands this victory.
There is indeed a chance of luck.
If we want to completely annihilate the Liaodong Jianlu, relying solely on these current armies, the chances of winning are obviously slim.
Emperor Chongzhen thought that the military reform proposed by Master Zhong would have to be implemented early, but many things were inseparable from Master Zhong at the moment. After the incident in Xuanfu, he had to go to Shaanxi before returning to Beijing.
For a while, because of this, he delayed his planned marriage last year.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and suddenly felt a little regretful. There were too few ministers like Master Zhong. However, he quickly laughed at himself. Master Zhong was the only one in the world. No one had the incredible experience of Master Zhong. He really
It is so precious, you must cherish it and use it well.
When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking of this, Wang Chengen, the eunuch on duty who had been serving him, couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, there is no charcoal fire over there, it's a bit cold, be careful of the dragon body."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he looked at where he was, smiled, turned around and walked back to the throne.
Wang Chengen followed behind him and cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, now that we have a lot of money, could you please ask someone to burn the earth dragon to avoid..."
Emperor Chongzhen had just walked to the throne and when he heard Wang Chengen speak, he turned around and said: "Stop talking, my dear friend, I have mentioned to you before that I have to spend the money sparingly now. I don't want to go back to the time when I had no money."
Hard days."
"Your Majesty, if you don't spend any money now, wouldn't it be a hard life for you?" Wang Chengen couldn't help but said a little bit.
He saw that Emperor Chongzhen now had a large sum of money in his hands, yet he was still so frugal, which made him feel a little aggrieved for the Supreme Emperor.
"My dear friend, you don't understand. We live the same life, but having money or not is completely different in my heart." Emperor Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen with a smile, and without further explanation, he sat back on the throne and continued to review the remaining items.
The following memorial.
Wang Chengen is a smart man. When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he immediately understood. The emperor pointed out that his mentality was completely different when he had money and no money.
If Zhong Jinwei were here, he could immediately say a later saying to describe Emperor Chongzhen's mentality at this time. That is, the landlord has a surplus of food and is not panicking.
After approving the memorials that Wang Chengen had sorted and sorted in advance, Emperor Chongzhen picked up a box next to the throne.
When Wang Chengen saw it, he took a few steps back to avoid suspicion and stayed away from the throne. This was because Emperor Chongzhen had told him that no one could read the secret memorial in the box.
He was very curious about what was inside, so that even he, a close confidant of the emperor and the admiral of Dongchang, could not see it.
He only knew that this thing was delivered from the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty outside the Forbidden City. There was no Dongchang fan there, so the mysterious Independent Commission Against Corruption did not exist. In other words, the things in this box should only be related to the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty.
It's related, but no matter how specific the content is, I can't guess it.
Because the box was the last memorial that Emperor Chongzhen handled, he seemed a little relaxed and took out the memorial inside to read it.
However, after reading the memorial, Emperor Chongzhen's expression immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, just like the weather outside. Although he was not angry, it was already cloudy.
When Wang Chengen saw it, he was surprised and even more cautious.
After a while, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Show up at Yongning Palace."
