Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Laughing Huang Yuliang was relieved at this time, and now that even the captives have to be adapted, it seems that the Southern Ming army is really weak, facing such an opponent, even if it is defeated. What’s wrong with the last time?

Compared with Huang Yuliang’s sarcasm and ridicule, Southern Ming capital Nanjing, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is laughing.

Also in the Palace of Political Affairs, Zhu Qizhen looked towards Six High Officials and several other important ministers. There was a little smile between expressions, “Come on, everyone, take a look, this is just now The triumphant report received was the victory of the Guangzhou Mansion, beheading more than 10,000 enemy heads and capturing nearly 30,000 people, which greatly damaged the arrogance of the yellow bandits.”

The report was just received. Zhu Qizhen was indeed in a good mood at this moment. In the past few days, the painful expressions due to the situation in Yunnan have also eased a lot.

The good news was quickly read from the hands of several important ministers one after another. At the moment, all the ministers knelt to the ground and shouted out loud, “His Imperial Majesty is blessed by heaven. Congratulations, His Imperial Majesty Long live absolutely.”

“Yes, God does treat me not badly, Liu Minister, I am ready to sacrifice to the sky, I want to call the world.” Since ancient times, the Imperial Family likes to ask for auspiciousness in everything. How can Zhu Qizhen let go of the opportunity to show his wise and martial identity.

“The minister abides by the decree.” Liu De stands out and answers complied. Just after answering not at all, I entered the class immediately, and first he looked thoughtful, and then lifts the head slowly, “His Imperial Majesty, the minister does not understand military affairs, but he also knows the principle of winning and pursuing from reading. Why did the Guangzhou mansion have defeated the army of the yellow bandits, and did not follow the trend?”

As soon as Liu De said these words, the Zhu Qizhen expression seated on Dragon Throne was already Become a little serious. This scene was seen clearly by the High Official Kuang Ye of the Ministry of War. At the moment, he walked out with the wat board in his hand, “Liu High Official, Guan Ying External Court Official has reported this matter, saying it was a rush all the way, my Ming army With the mercenaries, they were already very exhausted. In addition, they did not chase after their troops. At this point, the minister also agreed to act like this.”

“so that’s how it is, but there are many officials Worried about it.” Seeing Zhu Qizhen’s expression had an ugly meaning, and his goal had been achieved, Liu De took it back and returned to the station.

“His Imperial Majesty, Duke of Zhongdan’s command was profitable this time, Guan Ying and the others cooperated tacitly, and the minister believed that it was a reward and encouragement so that he could go all out and be driven by us. Yes.” Kuang Ye didn’t mean to chase Liu De to fight. Now that he has stepped up, he must of course take credit for the soldiers on the front line. This is also his High Official’s duty and duty.

Kuang Ye asked for a reward, and Zhu Qizhen was nodded, “Declared that Guan Ying should be designated as a soldier in the military department. All other meritorious persons will be promoted to the First class, and the reward is between two thousand and two hundred. Duke of Zhongdan, he borrowed his name from Northern Ming. If he wants to grant a reward, he still needs to say hello to that side. In this way, the Ministry of Rites will handle the matter.”

“Yes.” Liu De, who had just stepped back, stood up again and respectfully agreed. It’s just that anyone can see that the matter is handled by this person, even if I really don’t know when the news will come, and there will never be any reply.

Kuang Ye also wanted to say something for Yang Chendong. Guan Ying stated in the secret letter to him that without Lord Imperial Envoy, this battle would be difficult to win. Where can such a talent be left out and offended?

But before he was ready to say something and so on, Zhu Qizhen had already got up and said, “It’s all gone, I’m tired, I’m going to rest for a while, nothing important. Excuse me.” After finishing this, he still seemed to stare at Kuang Ye, as if he was just talking to him.

Speaking of which, Zhu Qizhen loves and fears Yang Chendong.

Love is because this person is indeed talented and has saved his life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a benefactor.

I am afraid that it is because Yang Chendong is too strong. The Southern Ming army has always been at a disadvantage, but he fought a big victory as soon as he arrived. This result is naturally gratifying, but at the same time it is also worrying. This person can fight the outside like that, if one day, he should have any ideas that he shouldn’t have, then who can check and balance him?

Since ancient times, the emperor’s favorite game is the balance technique. Pull one side and fight one side, pull the weak and the strong to maintain the balance of the game, so he, the emperor, seems more important. But now it seems that this Yang Chendong’s fear is very few people can beat, such a person is to use, but also have to guard. Not rewarding the other party this time means showing his attitude. Of course, externally, it is because he is a Small Official of Northern Ming. It is not wrong to think about some things on him.

Imperial Court Assembly is gone. Several important ministers left the political affairs hall one after another, and only Kuang Ye stood there stupidly, looking like a lost soul.

“High Official Kuang.” There was a sound of light sound beside him, and Kuang Ye’s free spirit was called back. When he turned his head and saw someone coming, he squeezed out a bit Smile: “It turned out to be Wang High Official.”

The visitor was Wang Zuo, who was also one of the nine important ministers saved by Yang Chendong during the Civil War. At this moment, he saw Kuang Ye’s godless eyes, and he had guessed what the other party thought, so he shook the head and persuaded, “High Official Kuang doesn’t need to think too much. His Imperial Majesty thought that we have been ministers for many years. How can you not know? The Duke of Zhongdan must be very clear, and he also It shouldn’t be too minded.”

“He wouldn’t mind?” Kuang Ye Some asked not quite clearly.

“What does he mind? For him, Duke of Zhongdan is already a very high honor. He is only 21 years old. In history, few people can do this. The so-called lonely at the top.” Wang Zuo lips slightly moving, speaking slowly, and then he cup one fist in the other hand and said: Duke of Zhongdan is a smart person, such a person is very independent in his actions, and he will endure humiliation. Otherwise, there would be no such achievement. Besides, even if it means His Imperial Majesty, what we are ministers is powerless to change. Just speak frankly. As for what happens, wait and see. “

Wang Zuo saw the picture very clearly. This is also based on the fact that he is a High Official of the Ministry of Households, originally dealing with money, and the accounts can be said to be very clear. Emperor Yingzong was afraid and found one. The reason for not awarding Yang Chendong, this was originally the right to be His Imperial Majesty, but he did forget one thing, that is, he faced Yang Chendong this time. Is he such a friendly person? Northern Ming, Ministry of Justice High Official Yu Shiyue offended him and said that he was overturned and overturned. Even Emperor Jingtai could not be saved. How could such a person be plotted against instead of fighting back? People, look at it, Zhu Qizhen is likely to have its own fruit if this continues.

Wang Zuo is because he has seen everything and knows that this is a fight between two tigers, and others can’t persuade him, so he didn’t say anything. At this time, he told Kuang Ye all this, and knew that the oldest High Official of the Ministry of War quickly understood, and he sighed casually: “Ai, the old man is getting old, I’m afraid he can’t serve His Imperial Majesty.” too long. “

“Yes, even if I don’t have enough energy, it’s better to take a good rest when I have time. “Wang Zuo hehe laughed, his suggestion worked, even if he could not solve any problems by speaking out, it would be better to stay silent and watch. The so-called old age means that he has limited energy, which means that Kuang Ye does not I will say more about this matter.

The two important ministers said something, and then they left the political affairs hall after everyone. They were thinking about what will happen after the front line receives the Imperial Edict Expression.

……

A few days later, it was also the last day of the Ming army’s rest and recuperation. According to the advance plan, the army will be sent from Guangzhou early tomorrow morning. The mansion came out and went straight to Zhaoqing Mansion, which was heavily guarded by the yellow bandits.

Eat food and the weapons are ready. The chief ambassador Lu Youfu, the commander Ma Wei, and Guan Ying have joined forces. , All the work is ready, only when the hour arrives, the army will start.

Compared with the last time, the number of the army is obviously much larger.

, Headed by Ma Wei and Guan Yinghe, led four thousand Ming troops; here for mercenaries, four companies of Cold Front had four hundred people, eight companies of auxiliary soldiers 800 people, plus two thousand temporary auxiliary soldiers, totaling 3,000 There are more than one hundred taels.

On the surface, the number is not very large, but it is not far from the number of an ordinary guard. But in fact the morale of this army is high, especially the battle strength The strength is that several times the strength of the army is difficult to be its opponent.

At this point, Ma Wei and Guan Ying are full of confidence, and they look forward to making new achievements.

It was also at this time that Court Eunuch, who read the will of Emperor Yingzong His Imperial Majesty, came. As soon as he appeared, he asked all generals in the army above Thousand-man Commander to be accounted for. Ma Wei and Guan Ying and the others came quickly. It was just that when the news came to Yang Chendong in another account, he was playing backgammon with his wife Hu Yan, and they looked like they were fighting.

The tent opened from the outside, and Hu Mang strode in. “Young Master, the Court Eunuch sent by Emperor Yingzong has arrived. At this time, it is now the general of the Ming army. “

“Oh? It’s not too slow to come. “It seemed to replied absentmindedly, then Yang Chendong looked up towards Hu Yan and said, “Yan’er, it’s time for you to go, but you have to be optimistic, or I will win. “

“Sixth Son. “Seeing Yang Chendong and being moved by it, and didn’t mean to meet with Court Eunuch, Hu Yan said with some worry.

“en?” I saw Hu Yan’s face With a worried expression, Yang Chendong said with a relaxed face, “It’s okay, it’s okay, Husband has its own care about this. If it’s good, it shouldn’t matter to me. That’s the case, why bother to join in the fun. What? I’m on my way tomorrow, so let’s take advantage of the time to relax, come on, and go on. “

“Oh. “Husband said it was fine. Hu Yan completely believed that there would be nothing wrong. After answering complied immediately, he began to think about how to write the next word.

Hu Mang came only to deliver the message, now Young Master knew that his task was completed, and then he withdrew from the big account. It seemed that he was quiet again.
