Chapter 70 Chongzhen forging ahead
Dear sages, please vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and rewards!
…
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
Congratulations were ringing in the ears of Emperor Chongzhen at this moment. Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhu Chunchen and other ministers, relatives, generals, etc. all became excited, and there was unconcealable joy in their brows.
Since the imperial court learned about the invasion of Jianlu, the urgent military affairs on the front line were either urgent or certain important passes were breached, especially Da'ankou, Longjing Pass, and Xifengkou were breached one after another, causing shock to both the government and the public.
With a smile on his face, Emperor Chongzhen said to Zheng Zhong, who got off his horse and wanted to salute him under the gaze of everyone: "Bring me the report of the victory!"
"This slave accepts the order!"
Zheng Zhong immediately responded with his hands raised, and then carefully took out the report of victory from his arms, held it in both hands, and walked slowly to Emperor Chongzhen.
Originally, the purpose of submitting the report of victory was for Sun Chengzong to send someone to the capital, but before leaving, Sun Chengzong personally ordered Zheng Zhong to lead the team.
The Yongwei Battalion fought against the invading Jianlu invaders in the Shimen Town area and achieved such impressive results. Without the people of the Yongwei Battalion, this matter would not be justified.
Wang Chengen looked at Zheng Zhong warily. After all, Zheng Zhong was a military eunuch who had previously attached himself to Wei Zhongxian. Even if he went on an expedition with the army and made military exploits, he still had to be vigilant.
"Okay, I really saw Cui'an right, and Yongwei Camp right!"
Emperor Chongzhen, who did not notice this, read the victory report in his hand and praised: "With three thousand regular soldiers on the outskirts of Shimen Town, we lured the enemy to fight against the invading prisoners.
My lords, please come and see the illustrious military exploits of my brave guards!"
After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen handed the memorial to report victory in his hand to Wang Qia and others. Wang Qia hurriedly stepped forward, with excitement in his eyebrows, and took the memorial in front of him. Li Banghua, Zhu Chunchen and others surrounded them.
Since the Battle of Saerhu, the Ming Dynasty has lost many elite divisions in Liaodong. This has made it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to completely wipe out an entire army from the Tianqi Dynasty to the current Chongzhen Dynasty.
Once upon a time, on the battlefield in Liaodong, the Ming troops stationed everywhere never dared to start a field battle with the Jianlu, for fear of being completely annihilated by the Jianlu.
Who would have imagined that a single powerful Jianlu soldier would dare to hunt down ten times or even more Ming troops and beat them to death.
"Zheng Zhong, right?"
Emperor Chongzhen stood with his arms akimbo, looked at Zheng Zhong who was still in a bowing posture, and said: "Get up, you don't have to be so reserved in front of me.
Yongweiying Cavalry, this name given by Zhou Qing is very good!
When the country is in crisis, if you can continue to be loyal to the country, you will no longer need to remember the past in your heart. You do not need to go to Shenjing in person and return to Shimen Town immediately.
I have been told by word of mouth that my brave guards have won a great victory in Shimen Town. I know it and I am very relieved. The elite soldiers of the brave guards who go out to fight will all be credited with merit. Anyone who kills the rebels on the battlefield will be credited with military merit and will follow the army.
The elites waiting to fight will also be credited with half the effort.
And you, Zheng Zhong, actually killed Beil Saharin, the Jianlu, and recorded another meritorious service. When Jianlu is defeated this time, and the crisis of the country is resolved, I will not hesitate to reward you for your merits.
He also told Zhou Qing that Jianlu would not give up after such a huge defeat, and told him to act with caution.
As I said in the tunnel battle, you cannot fight forcefully. You can lead your troops to avoid the edge temporarily, look for suitable fighter opportunities, and then attack and harass the captives, leaving the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. Remember, remember!!"
"This slave accepts the order!"
Zheng Zhong, who couldn't hide his excitement, hurriedly raised his hands and responded.
Emperor Chongzhen thought twice about transferring Wu Yi to the Yongwei camp, but thinking about the future situation, he still made up his mind and made this decision.
There are more than a thousand eunuchs who are willing to share the worries of the country, even if only 10% or 20% are left in the end, as long as you treat their nephews favorably and give them a head start, they will be the most loyal eunuchs in the inner court to you!
With this group of eunuchs who have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, whether they are added to Dongchang or used elsewhere, they will definitely enhance their majesty.
"Your Majesty, this great victory should be reported back to the divine capital as quickly as possible." Wang Qia was excited and walked up to Emperor Chongzhen, bowing his hands.
"The situation in Shenjing is currently uncertain and people's hearts are fluctuating. The news of the great victory in Shimen Town will be spread throughout Shenjing, which will definitely inspire people's hearts and greatly increase our power!"
Looking at Zheng Zhong riding away, Emperor Chongzhen, who came back to his senses, nodded and said: "What Wang Qing said is absolutely true. You will immediately issue an edict in the name of the military aircraft officer to report the victory and report it to everyone."
Take the heads of the captives and send them all to Shenjing, spreading the power of the Yongwei camp along the way!"
"I accept the decree!"
Before the achievements of the Yongwei Battalion, the Ming Dynasty's court and public did not have any confidence in the invading Jianlu. Even though Emperor Chongzhen did everything, many people were still very worried.
Talking about slaves becoming perverted is already a norm in the current Ming Dynasty.
Even if Emperor Chongzhen wanted to go on a personal expedition, he could not reverse this situation. After all, before that, the Ming Dynasty was pinned to the ground and repeatedly rubbed and ravaged by Jianlu in Liaodong.
The majesty of the Ming Dynasty in the past has long been reduced.
"Immediately pass the order, the whole army is deployed, and rush to Sanhe as soon as possible!" Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to normal, put his hands on his hips, glanced at the people in front of him, and immediately shouted in a deep voice.
"My brave guards have achieved the first victory for our Ming Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty will definitely win this battle! Follow me to Sanhe and prepare to fight against the invading Jianlu!"
"Here!!"
The brave guard camp led by Zhou Yuji won the victory in Shimen Town and won the first victory for the Ming Dynasty. This was indeed extremely exciting for Emperor Chongzhen.
However, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that if Jianlu suffered such a defeat, due to Huang Taiji's character and the senior Jianlu officials, they would definitely not give up.
If Huang Taiji knew about this, he was afraid that Zunhua City, which was surrounded by Jianlu, might not be saved. Thinking of such a situation, Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally in a good mood, felt heavy in his heart.
The army of the country is weak. If it is invaded by a foreign enemy, the first people to suffer the catastrophe will be the ordinary people at the bottom who are helpless.
It is difficult to win this battle!
If you want to win this battle, you will definitely pay a heavy price!
But if the Ming Dynasty, which is rotten to the core, wants to be reborn, it must win this battle. It is absolutely unrealistic to rely on the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to change the Ming Dynasty.
In this battle, the political ecology of civil and military imbalances must be reversed. Only in this way, and only in this way, can balance in the court be achieved.
If this cannot be achieved, then all changes will be nonsense.
On the tenth day of Yangzhou, there were three massacres in Jiading, Suzhou, Nanchang, Ganzhou, Jiangyin, Kunshan, and Jiaxing...
