The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 390 Control Ning Yuan
Zheng Guochang said: "If Jinzhou is managed properly, Jiannu will be entangled in his throat, how can he give up so easily?

The "Red Banner Army" stationed in southern Liaoning cannot be easily changed.Why can't the white pole soldiers be divided into half and Ma Xianglin or Qin Yiming will lead the garrison in Ningyuan? "

Xiong Mingyu said: "Shanhai Pass is more important. Seven thousand white soldiers are too few, so how can we divide them? Alas! There are still too few soldiers who dare to fight, and we have to confront Jiannu, and we have to fight against bandits in Shanshan and Shaanxi. Going to Denglai to quell the rebellion again is too tight!"

The emperor's head is getting bigger, and he has just made up his mind to count on Zu Dashou, but he has no one to help him, what should he do?
At this time, Xu Guangqi said: "The imperial court transferred a part of the Guanning Army to Denglai to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. The Ministry of War can use good words and negotiations to persuade Zu Shaochuan to send more troops. They were originally transferred to Luanzhou in Denglai to suppress the rebellion. The troops of the garrison battalion were immediately handed over to the garrison belt of Huangyi Prefecture and stationed in Ningyuan."

The emperor asked: "Is Luanzhou guarding Huangyizhou the father of Huanghan, Marquis of Dongping?"

Xu Guangqi said: "Of course, the old minister has just spent more than a month in the camp of the Luanzhou garrison in Kaiping town, and the old minister thinks he has good eyesight.

Huang Yizhou's troops are well organized, with 360, [-] cavalry under his command, full of troops, and they seem to be on par with other generals' servants.The veteran recommended Huang Yizhou as the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan for the sake of the country. "

Wen Tiren said: "This is a very good move. If something happens to Ningyuan, the 'Red Banner Army' troops stationed in Jinzhou will spare no effort to attack Jiannu's rear, or rush across the sea to help. The old minister agrees!"

Zheng Guochang said: "The old minister also agreed and is willing to be a guarantor. Transferring the Guan Ning army to enter the pass is a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. The recommendation of Huang Yizhou as the commander-in-chief of Ning Yuan is to prevent problems before they happen.

The veteran actually thought that the Guan Ning army was an army that the imperial court spent a lot of money and food to support. As long as he won the Zu Shaochuan, his majesty would show favor to the generals of the non-ancestral clan, and the army's morale might not be shaken. "

Xu Guangqi said: "Of course, the instigator Zu Shaochuan, the veteran thinks that as long as he is willing to enter the capital, he can stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings and never let him go back to Liaodong.

This kind of treatment is enough to show the kindness of our emperor. Presumably, the ancestral generals in the Guanning Army will also be wary, and they will never dare to obey the imperial court's orders. "

Zheng Guochang thought for a while and said: "What Xu Ge said is very true, it doesn't necessarily mean that Zu Dashou must obey the law, as long as he can be controlled."

It can be seen from this that both Xu Guangqi and Zheng Guochang are old-fashioned cadres who seek the country, and they have no intention of taking revenge on Zu Dashou for personal gain, nor do they have the intention of causing Zu Dashou to die.

It was just for the court to be able to communicate with the government and to avoid the embarrassment that the court's people and horses could not be dispatched by the emperor, so they proposed to put Zu Dashou under house arrest.

It is not too much for the two elders to jointly recommend a general to be the commander-in-chief. It is just beyond the rank of lieutenant general. Besides, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, and Huang Yizhou is a veteran over forty years old.

Chongzhen approved the request of the two veterans almost without hesitation, and asked the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials to write the document.

At this time, Zhou Yanru suggested: "Your Majesty, Huang Yizhou, Huang Han and his son are all stationed outside the customs with the post of commander-in-chief. Soldiers and horses must be hard-working. I think you should treat their families well. Why don't your majesty bestow Dongpinghou's mansion in the capital?" Take Mrs. Tai and Mrs. to come to the capital to enjoy the blessings?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers and eunuchs, including the emperor, understood the meaning of Shoufu. It was true that the families of the two chief military officers were brought to the capital to enjoy their blessings, and it was also true that they became hostages.

Fang Zhenghua, who was standing by the side, didn't think it was necessary, because he had fought several times with Huang Han side by side. Huang Han hated Jiannu from the bottom of his heart, and it was impossible for him to have an affair with those savages.

He peeked at Shoufu coldly, thinking in his heart that this person is troublesome, why bother to offend Huang Han for no reason!
As Huang Han's father-in-law, Zheng Guochang believed that he was selfless and magnanimous. Could it be that his son-in-law could betray Daming and surrender to become a slave?At most, he is a little bit domineering, and it is impossible to lose righteousness.

Zheng Guochang was the first to express his support: "The chief minister's foresight is for the sake of the country. The old minister seconded the proposal, and the old minister can see his daughter often, haha..."

Seeing that the father-in-law was supportive, a group of high-ranking ministers of course expressed their opinions and asked the emperor to grant Dongpinghou's mansion. This is the case. The mansion of the Marquis standard is not bad. Huang Han will finally have a mansion in the capital.

The platform discussed and discussed a good solution, Chongzhen was very happy, and several imperial decrees that had been approved were sent out, and the officials waited for the implementation of the plan.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Zu Dashou came to the immovable court to accept all the rewards and photos, asking him to leave Jinzhou and go to the capital, which had no way to resolve the plan of a group of veterans.

Zu Dashou was included in the book, the reason is very simple, he is ill, very serious!He couldn't even get out of bed, so he galloped to the capital to plead guilty as soon as he recovered.The prince and Taifu were obviously playing a rogue, and the emperor knew it and was helpless.

Fortunately, the Guan Ning Army had [-] cavalrymen entering the pass and entering Denglai to participate in the battle, which of course weakened the strength of the Guan Ning Army.

Huang Yizhou, the new officer in charge of Ningyuan, arranged for more than a hundred confidants to return to Kaiping as seeds to continue training the troops.The recommended new Luanzhou defense is one of the founders and Yang Jiahe, an apprentice who learned guns and sticks from Huang Yizhou.

The combat effectiveness of the garrison battalions in the interior is low, and nine out of ten are mobs. The imperial court doesn't pay much attention to them, and they don't pay them food and salaries.

The key is that the Luanzhou garrison battalion under the leadership of Huang Yizhou has really achieved an excellent reputation for protecting the environment and the people. Therefore, the people recommended by Huang Yizhou to succeed are the original garrison battalion general Yang Jiahe, Yongping Mansion, Luanzhou officials, The squires agreed unanimously, and it was approved by the court without any trouble.

Huang Yizhou brought 360 troops into Ningyuan City to take over the defense. It's really awesome, because these troops are all following the commander-in-chief in the name of servants.

This is all because of Huang Yizhou's good intentions, because the imperial court gave different treatment to the servants brought by the generals when they paid, basically five qian silver higher than ordinary battalion soldiers.

Why not make more money for his subordinate Pao Ze, so these people have all become servants.

In the city of Ningyuan, there are three to four thousand infantrymen of the Ning army and seven to eight thousand people who aid Liao. There are probably twenty to thirty thousand residents, residents, war refugees, and merchants in the city.

There are dozens of generals with the titles of lieutenant general, participating general, capital division, and guerrilla. There is Ning Qianbing Beidao Yamen here, and there is also Wang Yingchao, the chief eunuch who supervises the army.

Ning Yuan, with many factions mixed with fish and dragons, seems to be difficult to manage. In fact, Huang Han has always sneered at this phenomenon, and he will drop ten meetings without him.

The most important thing for the army is force. As long as there are warriors who can fight, all conspiracies and tricks are scum in the face of absolute strength.
