On the third day of April in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen had an order to leave the country, and Chang Yu, the supervisor of Dongjishi Factory, was appointed as the eunuch of the ceremonial department and returned to Beijing to report on his duties.
The Chief of Ceremonies was the head of the twenty-four yamen of the Ming Dynasty. The eunuchs of Zhangyin and Bingbi were the head of the Chief of Ceremonies, which was the pinnacle of the life of an internal official. Although the eunuchs of Zhangyin were slightly higher than Bingbi, their actual power was far inferior. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, both Bingbi and Bingbi served at the same time.
The only admiral of Dongchang was Wei Zhongxian, who was the most powerful in the inner court and had overwhelming power in both the government and the public.
But now, the little eunuch Chang Yu was born out of the blue, and before he was even a young man, he was already on par with Wei Zhongxian, which is really a curiosity in the world.
Ningyuan was victorious, and all the generals advanced with their military exploits. However, Chang Yu stood still and his subordinates all felt unfair, but he did not take it seriously. As soon as this imperial edict came, the generals were overjoyed and congratulated sincerely.
Bingbi, the eunuch of the Inner Court, was originally Wang Chengen, a close eunuch of Chongzhen. Chang Yu had great merit, and no matter how much he didn't care about it, Zhu Youjian was embarrassed and gave Bingbi to Chang Yu.
Eunuchs, everyone is happy.
At this point, Chang Yu has secured the first position in the inner court.
He said he was returning to Beijing to report on his duties, but Chang Yu knew full well that the urgent situation in the south required him to block the bullet holes. The reason why Chongzhen waited for several days before letting him leave was not because he felt sorry for him because he was overworked, but because the war outside the customs had just ended.
, the situation is unstable, and he is left to sit in Ningyuan to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.
After waiting for a few days, I saw that Dorgon was so frightened that he fled into Jinzhou City and was unable to escape. After thinking about it, he determined that the Qing army had suffered too heavy losses and was unable to re-enter the pass or besiege Ningyuan. In addition, the south was really at a critical moment.
At this time, Chongzhen hurriedly asked him to return to Beijing to "report on his work."
Chang Yu cannot be alone if he returns to Beijing. The four battalions under his command must be inseparable. The Shenji Battalion led by Wu Weiying who came out to broaden his horizons must also go back. The three thousand cavalry and cannons borrowed from Gao Di must be returned.
Tang Tong also wanted to return to the garrison to garrison. As for Li Yan, he must also follow. Although Chongzhen did not explicitly ask Chang Yu to go south to defend the enemy, everyone knew it well. They were afraid that they would go south immediately after returning home for a formality, and Li Yan
Yan's troops are about to be used.
Just twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. Wu Sangui and the young eunuch developed a deep friendship. When Wu Shaobao heard that Chang Yu was leaving, Wu Shaobao burst into tears.
Some people think that Wu Sangui is being pretentious just to show off, but some people think that it may be out of his true feelings. After all, Wu Sangui won this great victory at least by taking advantage of the little eunuch.
If it weren't for Chang Yu, how could Wu Sangui be lower than Dorgon's army of more than 100,000, and he would probably end up dead or surrendered, and why would Wu Shaobao be there? It can be said that Wu Sangui's current fame and success was all thanks to the little eunuch!
Of course, if it hadn't been for Chang Yu, Dorgon would never have come to Ningyuan City. Perhaps he was currently plundering the pass, while Wu Sangui was either watching from outside the pass, or was ordered to withdraw into the pass, traveling day and night under the stars and moon to intercept the Qing army.
But who knows this?
The result now is that Dorgon was defeated, Wu Sangui was granted the title of Shaobao, and he made the most contributions to the frontier army in years. He became famous in one battle and his future is limitless.
Although the Qing army has retreated, the border defense cannot be careless. Wu Sangui and his Ningyuan army have a long way to go and cannot be mobilized at will. They must continue to guard the border town outside the pass.
Although Tang Tong suffered a lot from the hardships of running thousands of miles as a reinforcement, he also gained a lot. Wu Sangui was not stingy about the large amount of supplies captured by the Qing army. He gave him a lot of them. He only gave away two thousand riders in the hand of his horse, plus other
The soldiers under his command received rewards for fighting, and by the way, part of the original salary arrears was also settled, and they made a lot of money. This reinforcement campaign was a real pleasure for the host and guest.
Of course, if we talk about the biggest harvest, it belongs to Li Yan. They were a group of poor people who came from Taiyuan and suffered a lot, like beggars. However, they were lucky. They played a few assists with the little eunuch and suffered the least loss.
Not only did it make the greatest contribution, it also gained the most. Everything from military uniforms to armaments were replaced with cannons. Originally there were only a few thousand cavalry among the ten thousand people, but now they have almost all cavalry, and the reward is the largest in history.
of picking up leaks.
There is always a banquet in the world, especially in the era of war and chaos, especially for the soldiers who were fighting in the north and south. When Chang Yu was about to leave, Wu Sangui was reluctant to leave, and at the same time there was a group of people crying like pear blossoms with rain.
Red Lady's medical soldiers will leave more than a hundred people in Ningyuan. There are a large number of wounded soldiers who need to be taken care of, and their presence is also needed on the front line.
More than a hundred female soldiers were left behind. The good sisters in the past hugged each other and cried and blessed each other. It was always hard to be separated, but they also knew that this was the best destination. They were duckweeds in the war-torn times.
If you follow the team, you will either die in battle, or you will eventually get separated, starve to death, or freeze to death. You are lucky enough to survive, but there are no humans or ghosts. In troubled times, life is miserable, and women are even more miserable.
But now, they have been reorganized into the Ningyuan Army, have status recognized by the court, have a serious job, a salary that can support themselves, and a stable "home". As long as Ningyuan City is not destroyed, this "
"Home" is here, and you no longer have to hide around and live a life of uncertainty, fear, and fear. You may also get married to a big soldier, start a family, and have children. The future should be good.
Yes.
Chang Yu came with a large bag of money, food, and cannons, and he left empty-handed. In addition to the ashes of the eunuch soldiers who died in the Gongzi Camp, there were nearly 10,000 Qing army heads.
!
In this battle, Gongzi Camp lost half a hundred of its 300 men and horses, but due to its special nature, it could not replenish its manpower on the spot like the other three battalions. Chang Yu was not allowed to replenish non-official soldiers in Gongzi Camp.
"Wu Shaobao, see you again in the world. I hope there will be a chance to fight side by side in the future!" Chang Yu and Wu Sangui waved goodbye, turned around and left with whips raised.
Wu Sangui cupped his hands and said goodbye in tears, wishing the Governor a safe journey.
Chang Yu led the four battalions under his command to advance quickly, with the Shenji Battalion in the middle, followed by Li Yan's troops who were escorting grain and grass and baggage, and the Tatars' heads in the rear. However, the reinforcements from Tang Tong and Gao Di were not rushed. When they arrived, the battle situation was urgent and they marched day and night.
, after a big victory, you can’t go sightseeing and relax after returning.
The four battalions were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. They entered Shanhaiguan Pass in one day. Gao Di greeted him several miles outside the pass and held a banquet to wash away the dust. Chang Yu declined politely, saying that he had important things to do and could not delay.
Gao Di was immediately sent to Shili and put back together.
I wonder if the assassin followed him into the border? Jiang Fa thought about the elusive assassin and mentioned this matter several times on the way.
I am afraid that the man has already entered the customs, and is even very likely to be in Beijing waiting for the governor. Chang Yu sneered, but his heart felt very heavy, like a huge boulder weighing on his back. This man was like a ghost, impossible to guard against, and he could not eliminate his unhappiness.
There is no plan at the moment.
Four days later, Chang Yu led four battalions under his command to enter the capital. At noon, he saw the capital in the distance. Chunxiang and Wu Mengming, who were ten miles away from the city, came to greet them. The three of them met happily and walked side by side to greet each other.
When he was summoned to discuss matters in private, he mentioned Chang Yu many times and praised the arrival of a lucky star in the world. Even those in the government and the public who had heard of his name also praised him, and his reputation was greatly improved!
Chang Yu thought that Wu Mengming was just flattering, but when he walked to Anding Gate and was about to enter the city, he saw hundreds of people gathering at the gate. He was shocked and asked Chunxiang what happened in the city.
