Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 577

Dengzhou South Gate.

People commonly call it Nantianmen.

Inside the gate, there are two agencies under the Department of Vehicle Driving of the Ministry of War. One is the horse house, which is dedicated to husbands and horses. Titang.

A galloping horse came galloping.

"Six hundred li urgent pond newspaper, Hanzhong victory!"

The knight galloped into the Nantian Gate, but none of the soldiers guarding the gate dared to stop him, because the knight had six red flags on his back, each with the words "[-] Li Urgent".

This is the highest level of fast horse emergency report, and no one can stop it. Horses will be replaced along the way. The knights change horses without changing people, and they only send letters and couriers when they travel [-] miles a day.

The guard at the news station hurried forward to greet him. The knight ran too fast and hurriedly, and he couldn't get off the horse. As soon as the horse stopped, it fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and it looked like it was going to die.

After hearing the news, the military attache of the Victory Office rushed out.

"Hanzhong victory, great victory!" Although Tang Qi was exhausted, he still shouted loudly.

Different from the imperial court’s Dibao sent from the central capital to the local area, the Tang Bao was sent from the local area to the capital, and it was mainly military intelligence.There are full-time military attaches stationed in each province, and military officers from all over the country report military information and good news to the governor's office.

This information comes from Tangqi from all over the country, as well as military generals, espionage and so on.

Depending on the importance of the information, copy it to the capital.

The six-hundred-mile rush is already the most urgent military situation.

However, when they heard that it was a great victory, the officials at the Victory Report Office were still relieved. They were afraid that there would be bad news in a hurry, so they panicked.

"Hurry up and ask this brother to go in and have a rest and drink tea."

After receiving the Tang newspaper Feijie, the military officer didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly opened it to watch.

This good news was jointly reported by Wen Anzhi, the governor of the five provinces, Qin Liangyu, the president, Zhang Shipeng, the admiral of the Sichuan-Guizhou camp, Zhu Pengfei, the admiral of the Shaanxi-Gansu camp, and Qin Yiming, the admiral of Sichuan.

Seeing that string of names, this seventh-rank military officer knew that it was no small matter.

Scan it quickly.

Because Tang Bao is reporting military intelligence, it has special format requirements, which require accuracy, timeliness, and truthfulness, and its language should be concise and explain the ins and outs.

"On July 29th of this year, according to the Wen'an Zhitang newspaper of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan Provinces, on the 27th of this month, according to the Shaanxi-Gansu Camp Admiral Zhu Pengfei, Director Wen Xieji, Deputy Admiral Tang Zhenbang, etc. Said: The grade is grateful for the kindness of support. According to the constitutional order of this cabinet, the troops were dispatched to Hanzhong from Lueyang to Wangjiawan Fort on the [-]th.
Another report...
Relying on the prestige of the headquarters, with less than [-] soldiers and horses, they defeated tens of thousands of Tartars. Two armies, the Shaanxi-Ganxi camp first captured Lueyang and then Yangping Pass, and then recovered Mian County and Ningqiang.The Sichuan Battalion and the Sichuan Guixing Battalion flew over Micang Mountain and took Xixiang, Chenggu, and Hanzhong in succession.

After several battles, four counties and one prefecture were harvested, and a total of more than [-] Tartars were beheaded, including more than [-] Manchurian Tartars, more than [-] Mongolian Tartars, and [-] Han Army Banners and Green Camps. More than [-] people from the Han army were captured.

Our army killed more than [-] people, seriously injured more than [-], and slightly injured more than [-]. We won a complete victory.

The level of merit will be verified by the censor's office of the supervising army with the capture, and the meritorious officers and soldiers will also find out and make a book and report it, beg for it and forward it, and so on.

This lowly position can see that the Tartars are arrogant and numerous. They defeated the Western Camp at Dingjunshan and shot Zhang Xianzhong. Unexpectedly, our army took advantage of the vacancy and entered. Fortunately, Zhu Pengyi, Zhang Shipeng, Yang Zhan, Qin Yiming, Ma Wannian, Ran Tianlin and other generals , each plotting bravely and working hard, the supervisor led the sidelines, bravely killed the thief, and succeeded in one go.

It is also a service, entrusted by the great blessing of the sage, relying on the secret strategy taught by the headquarters, and well-trained, so the enemy is outnumbered, the brakes are calm, and the labor is waiting for leisure, while our soldiers are only slightly injured.

Now the Tartars have retreated to Baogu Town and are surrounded by our army. There are more than [-] remnants in the city.

All the victories in this series of battles have been seen by all the ears and eyes of every city in Hanzhong. It is the whole victory.

Reported again..."

The military officer looked so excited that his hands couldn't help shaking.

I knew it was a good news, but I didn't know that I had won such a big victory.

Several battles, especially the battle of Nanzheng, wiped out more than [-] Tartars, plus the number of other annihilations, it is amazing, and now they are still besieging the defeated Hanzhong Tartars in Baogu Town.

"Report immediately."

This pond newspaper sent by Wen Anzhi actually contained dozens of reports, large and small, from various town pond newspapers.

And these were all reported by the Herald Reporting Office after they found out in Sichuan.

He hurried to the Yamen of the Ministry of War with the good news.

Minister of the Ministry of War Zhu Dadian came back from Huguang after the year. He served as the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Cabinet Co-organizer, and the Assistant Minister of the Prime Minister's Office. After reading this Tang newspaper sent by the minister, he was very excited.

Quickly pick up a pen and write a report accordingly,

"Send it directly to the palace gate."

"Forget it, I will send it to the saint myself."

Zhu Dadian congratulated Wen'an and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Ming Army. They fought a beautiful battle.

In this battle, the timing of the shot was just right.

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and when the Tartars were exhausted, the Ming army made a sudden move, caught them by surprise, and directly recovered Hanzhong, injuring the Tartars even more.

The Tartars fought a decisive battle with the Western army and then fought with the Ming army. More than [-] people were killed and injured.

in the palace.

Zhu Yihai was still waiting for Xu Shilin to talk about the Battle of Hanzhong, and when he heard that Zhu Dadian had reported with the Dajietang in Hanzhong, he laughed happily, "It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are coming, please quickly invite our great Sima to report the good news."

Zhu Dadian entered the hall, excitedly waving the pond newspaper, "Your Majesty, great victory, the recovery of Hanzhong, the destruction of the Western Camp, and the crushing defeat of the Tartars."

Zhu Yihai took the pond newspaper and read it carefully, while Zhu Dadian briefly told the other ministers about the great victory in Hanzhong.

a long time.

Holding the pond newspaper, Zhu Yihai was so excited that it was difficult to calm down.

I have always been a little worried about the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi, but now I don't have to worry about extra problems anymore.

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and was shot and killed by the Tartars.

Xiying was completely wiped out.

Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons snatched back Zhang Xianzhong's body and fled into the mountains. In the end, Zhu Pengfei, who won the Battle of Hanzhong, sent people to the mountains to find Zhang Dingguo, sent them to Yangping Pass to rest, and gave them some medicine and food.

Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang discussed for a long time, and finally decided to accept Zhu Pengfei's persuasion and accept Wen Anzhi's offer.

At this time, the remnants of the Western Camp and the defeated generals were added together, and there were less than [-].

Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling objected to being recruited, and proposed to take troops back to the mountains in northern Sichuan to recuperate latently, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

Opinions differ.

In the end, Zhang Dingguo directly led the troops to surround and kill Wang Zhaoling and his gang, and then raised the head to call up the whole army. Finally, under the leadership of Zhang Kewang, they decided to accept the imperial court's recruitment.

Wen Anzhi personally went to Yangping Pass to accept the surrender.

Some of the disabled, old and weak of the Western Army were demobilized and resettled, and finally 5000 people were left and organized into a town.

Zhang Kewang has four people, each with their original surnames.

Sun Kewang is the general town, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi are deputy.

Wen Anzhi played to the emperor, asking for the final solution.

Now there are only these 5000 people left in Xiying. The rest of them in northern Sichuan have been demobilized or scattered. The defeated army under Yangping Pass, except for these 5000 people, the rest have also been given money to be demobilized, or resettled nearby.

The remaining 5000 troops, led by the four brothers Sun Kewang, drove to Baocheng Town to join the besieging army.

"What do you think of this?"

The ministers were very excited, "Zhang Xianzhong's defeat can be regarded as a solution to a serious problem. It is not necessary to recruit his four adopted sons. It is better to give them a vain job and a loose title, and call them to Beijing. The rest of the Western Army will be dismissed. "

"I think it's not impossible to leave a town in Xiying. Now that the Tartars still want to hold out in Baocheng Town, the battle is not over yet, so it's just time for them to participate in the siege. After the battle, depending on their performance, they will turn to the village. town, or set up an out town, it doesn’t matter.”

Few people have a good impression of Xiying.

Zhang Xianzhong gave people the impression of rebellion against impermanence, especially in the last two years, killing innocent people indiscriminately, this kind of person is defeated, and there is more than enough time for death, everyone can't wait to clap their hands and applaud.

Now there are only [-] people left, and they will be dealt with directly to eliminate future troubles.

Of course, the Tartars have not been driven away yet, and Li Dingguo and others are willing to join the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty. For Zhu Yihai, this is naturally not a bad thing.

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and the West Camp was almost wiped out, but even the remaining people should not be underestimated. In history, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated at Phoenix Mountain in Nanchong, and after the four brothers Zhang Kewang killed the Queen and Wang Zhaoling, they gained Take control of Xiying and fight all the way south.

Zeng Ying, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Xiying, but Zeng Ying was killed instead, the Ming army was defeated, and the Western army captured Chongqing, and then continued southward, taking down Zunyi all the way. The Qing army pursued closely again, so they simply went south to Yunnan.

They lied that they were Mu Tianbo's wife's natal family, and came to help put down the chaos. In the end, doves occupied the magpie's nest and robbed Yunnan. Later, they announced their support for the Yongli court and became the Ming army.

Of course, Sun Kewang, the lord of Daxi Kingdom, and others were actually just borrowing the name of Daming to unite the Ming to fight against the captives. Under the pressure of the Qing army, they only pretended to be Ming ministers, but even so, Sun Kewang always wanted to control the court. Yongli regarded himself as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and he himself was Cao Cao.

Later, there was internal strife in Daxi, and Zhang Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so there was no surprise.

Now that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, the four of them have been recruited.

How Zhu Yihai would deal with them made him ponder for a long time.

"I have repeatedly emphasized before that as long as you are willing to resist the captives, you should unite. When Zhang Xianzhong was still alive, I was also a king. Now that he is defeated and killed, I will not talk about the past."

"Give the military title Shunyi with five thousand troops, with Li Dingguo as the general town, Sun Kewang as the director, Liu Wenxiu as the deputy commander in charge of the Left Association, and Ai Nengqi as the deputy commander in charge of the Right Association,
I heard that Li Dingguo and Zhu Pengfei were married to Jinlan before, and that Zhu Pengfei was my fourth adopted son. If so, I will give Li Dingguo the surname of the country, and I will accept him as the fifth adopted son. I hope he can lead Shunyi Town and defend the country. "

"After recovering Baocheng Town, the Shaanxi-Ganxi Camp will be moved to Hanzhong Prefecture, and Shunyi Town will be stationed in Jiezhou. The family members of Shunyi Town can also be resettled in various parts of Jiezhou, and the rest of Ding and others can be set up as Tunzhen, and the land will be assigned to guard the border for the country. "

"Give Zhu Dingguo the Marquis of Anxi, Sun Kewang as Ping Dongbo, Liu Wenxiu as Funanbo, and Ai Nengqi as Dingbeibo."

After hearing this arrangement of the emperor, Zhu Dadian deeply admired it.

Sun Kewang, the righteous son, was originally the boss, and I heard that Sun Kewang has always been Zhang Xianzhong's appointed heir, and he is also very capable of strategy. Although Li Dingguo is brave and capable of fighting, he is younger, and his qualifications and achievements are not as good as Sun Kewang.

But now the emperor insisted that Li Dingguo had worshiped the emperor's fourth son Zhu Pengfei as his son, and then made Li Dingguo the commander-in-chief of Shunyi Town, and let Sun Kewang, the boss, be the director and a deputy.

Even when it came to conferring titles, they deliberately created conflicts. Zhu Dingguo was conferred the title of marquis, but Sun Kewang and the other three were conferred the title of earl.

Originally, the four were Zhang Xianzhong's sons, but now Li Dingguo became Zhu Yihai's sons, and they were directly divided into two.
