Chapter 1102 The Battle of Yiwu is completely over, it's time for the reward
"Your Majesty, General Zhang led his troops and the Wala people back to the army. After capturing these Western captives, he executed them all in accordance with the imperial decree, leaving only thirty-six people as prisoners. The heads of the Western captives were cut off and built
In a Beijing temple, corpses were set on fire to be burned to ashes."
"In this battle, all the Xilu generals resolutely led their troops to resist the Ming army, so no generals were captured. The corpses of some of the generals, including Timur's grandson Shaharul,... and others, were not identified, only
They can be cremated together."
"General Zhang left 5,000 garrison troops in Urumqi. On August 11th, he led the rest of the soldiers and the Oara people led by Mahamu to return to Yiwu. He was able to return to Yiwu around August 20th."
"Of the 12,000 left and right guards of the government army led by Commander Song, only more than 200 people survived. Dozens of them were seriously injured or disabled and were left by Commander Song in Urumqi for medical treatment until they were cured.
Then he returned. Commander Song led less than two hundred soldiers who were still intact and returned with General Zhang."
"Only more than two hundred people are left, and dozens more are seriously injured or disabled." Yunxi sighed after hearing this, but said nothing more.
He asked the soldier some more details, took from him the memorial written by Zhang Fu himself, and immediately let him go.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty for annihilating all the Western captives in the Eastern Campaign! Promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty! Your majesty is wise!" Xu Huizu immediately congratulated.
"Most of this battle was commanded by you, and I was just sitting in the middle army. You commanded the army to fight the Xilu, and you have made great contributions. I will not be stingy with rewards!" Yunxi said while reading the memorial.
"Without His Majesty's central control, how could I command the soldiers to fight the Westerners with peace of mind? What's more, Your Majesty saw that my arrangements were inappropriate, and the several deployments that I made against all opinions were very correct. Therefore, I believe that this battle is the first achievement.
It should be Your Majesty himself!" Xu Huizu said again.
Yunxi negotiated with him for a few words, but when he saw that he said so firmly, he couldn't help but said: "That's all, I won't argue with you on this matter, and I won't reward myself anyway."
He then said to Wang Gong beside him: "Go to the King of Qin and ask him to arrange a celebration in Yiwu. The time will be the 21st or 22nd. Everything must be prepared on the 20th."
"Send someone to find Chen Ji again and ask Chen Ji and Gao Xiang to assist King Qin in arranging this matter. Make sure nothing goes wrong!"
"Yes, official." Wang Gong agreed, turned around and left.
"Your Majesty, since there is a celebration banquet to be held, it is better not to discuss the plans of Your Majesty and his ministers with His Highness the King of Qin for the time being. We will inform His Highness the King of Qin after the celebration banquet is held and let His Highness lead the troops to march westward."
"Is it time for me to present myself or resign? It is just in time to inform the soldiers of this good news." After Xu Huizu said these words, he bowed and retired.
"Slow down!" Yunxi said suddenly. Xu Huizu could only stop and look at him with slightly doubtful eyes.
"Now that this battle is over, it's time to reward them based on their merits. I have already thought about most of them, and I will think about it carefully in the next few days, and draft an imperial edict to be read out on the day of celebration.
"
"But in the last battle to wipe out all the Xilu, the Wala people suddenly appeared, and I couldn't decide how to reward them for the moment."
"Although they finally blocked the Xilu, they were only able to succeed because of the fierce fighting of the 12,000 soldiers on the left and right sides of the government army. Otherwise, the Xilu might have escaped before they arrived in Urumqi."
"What's more, Mahamu has been standing still before. He is obviously on both sides of the relationship between me and 1. If I were defeated in this battle, he should lead the Wala people eastward and follow 1 to attack the Ming Dynasty at this time, right? For
I don't think I can give them too many rewards for being such useless people."
"However, after all, the Oara people finally joined Zhang Fu's troops to annihilate the Xilu, and they contributed a lot. If Mahamu and others are not rewarded, I am afraid that the Mongolian officers and soldiers in other armies will feel uneasy. After all, they and the Oara people are both Mongolians.
People can easily empathize with others."
"So Xu Aiqing, how do you think Mahamu and other Wala leaders should be rewarded?"
Yunxi was a little conflicted. He was very reluctant to give too many rewards to the Wala people, but the Wala people were not weak in strength and their achievements in this battle were not small. It was not good to give too little reward.
"Your Majesty, I think that Wala should be rewarded with a heavier reward." Xu Huizu thought for a while and cautiously said to Yunxi: "I think that firstly, Mahamu and others have made great contributions and should be rewarded; secondly, according to Shicai Pu
According to what Bing said and what I found out before, the Wara people are not weak in combat power. At this time, they are even superior to the powerful and unworthy Yili people. He should be allowed to lead the troops to follow His Highness the King of Qin in the westward expedition to the city of Samarkand."
"Since he is asked to lead troops to follow His Highness the King of Qin in the westward expedition to Samarkand, then we should try our best to win over Mahamu and others so that they are willing to lead troops to follow the westward expedition."
"This is my idea. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."
"Okay." Yunxi thought for a while and finally said: "I don't want the child to be able to trap the wolf, so I will give him a generous reward to make him happy for a few days."
When Xu Huizu heard this, he frowned. His Majesty's words were good, but his words were all colloquialisms, which was not good. However, his Adam's apple did not move, and he just stood aside and listened to the order.
Yunxi gave him a few more instructions and asked him to retreat.
The news of the complete annihilation of the retreating Western rebels near the city of Urumqi quickly spread throughout the military camp, causing everyone to rejoice. Not only because the battle was finally won, but also because a celebration banquet was about to be held. The credit of everyone was also
I was able to get a reward. For a while, the camp was full of people talking about what kind of reward they could get for their merits.
Many people also found Xu Huizu and other deputy generals to camp. In fact, the camp started as early as the second day of August. Although the final evaluation of merit and rewards are decided by His Majesty himself, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the army.
Did Xianxin check them one by one? Wasn't it based on their report? Although it is difficult to change the credit, but the same credit can be said in different words in different words, the results may be different. So everyone rushed around to stop them.
There was nothing that could be done to stop him. Some people even asked Wang Gong and others to put in some kind words when the emperor read the report. However, Wang Gong declined them all.
There were also some people who did not camp everywhere, but they had no intention of continuing to practice, and their defenses were much lax. Because Yiwu was still very desolate and there was no place for recreation and entertainment, the soldiers could only drink and gamble in the military camp. Yunxi could only
He could order a limit on the amount of alcohol consumed and stipulate that no alcohol should be consumed while gambling, and the rest would just be left to chance. Besides, he was too busy figuring out how to award the reward and had no intention of taking care of it.
Just like that, it was August 21st, the day for the celebration banquet.
