Chapter five hundred and eighteen: Liaodong Army
While the coalition forces occupied Shengjing, the princes and princes in the eastern Mongolians immediately raised their heads: they took the warriors from the tribe to set off, and went to Shengjing to recommend Ezhehan from the various tribes of Chaha to Ezhebatulukhan. Now the situation outside the pass has been settled, and the power of the Manchus has been almost completely eliminated. The Mongolian fencemen keenly noticed the changes in the current situation, abandoned the Manchus without hesitation, and threw them back into the arms of the Chahars.
Ezhekhan also began to leave Shengjing with hundreds of cars of gold and silver and his warriors. According to the agreement, Liaodong was owned by the Ming Dynasty. In exchange and return to the Chahar tribe, the more than 7 million taels of gold and silver in the Shengjing treasury were divided into two parts, one of which was taken away by the Chahar people. In addition, the Ming Dynasty must support Ezhekhan's rule in Mongolia in the southern desert, especially when it was attacked by the Junggar tribe. The Ming Dynasty must at least adhere to neutrality and not participate in the war.
All of this was fully agreed by the Liaodong envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Both sides made an oath in Shengjing Fuling, swearing that they would never break the alliance.
Fuling is located in the east suburbs of Shengjing. It is the tomb of Nurhaci and Empress Yehenara of Xiaoci. Because it is located in the eastern suburbs of Chenyang, it is also called Dongling. Behind Fuling, the Tianzhu Mountain is facing the Hunhe River, with thousands of pine trees towering green and the main hall is extremely majestic and vast. At that moment, the tomb of Nurhaci, which was once noisy in Liaodong, was ruined. Ezhehan insisted on choosing to hold the oath here, which was just another humiliating the Manchus. After the oath, the Japanese were temporarily stationed here, with the shaking monument, stone archway, Zhenghongmen, Shidao, and stone statues. One hundred and eight = steps, divine masterpiece building, utensil room, fruit room, tea kitchen, court room, Longen Gate, Longen Hall, East Side Hall, West Side Hall, Burning Furnace, Two Pillar Gate, Stone Five Gongshu, Daming Tower, Baocheng and other hundreds of large and small buildings are an excellent barracks.
Ezhehan was very satisfied with all this. Although Shengjing City was a good place, it was not very useful for the Mongols. The nomadic people were more keen to live in the grass. Even if they attacked the city, they would never stay. After looting, they would leave again. This time, Ezhehan not only destroyed the Manchus' power in Liaodong with the help of the Japanese, but also used the influence of the Ming Dynasty to successfully gain the recognition of the Mongolian princes and princes in the east of the desert, and also received a generous amount of gold and silver. The reward of 3.5 million taels of silver was enough for his tribe to spend all his life. It was just an easy task to win over the tribes and form a powerful cavalry. More importantly, it was extremely safe in his rear. To unify the entire grassland, he only needed to turn his horse's head to the west and fight the Zhun'er tribes to the death.
Just from the moment Ezhehan left, Kang Chengdong, the special envoy of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, immediately became serious after sending off these Mongols. He returned to his temporary residence and immediately mentioned to start drafting a memorial. This memorial first described some information outside the pass, and then analyzed the battle of Shengjing. Finally, he changed the subject and pointed directly to the theme of the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Liaodong is complicated. In addition to the hostile Manchu tribes scattered all over the place, there are also Ezhekhan who held troops in Xiban Qu and Temporary. Although he was committed to relying on our Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were naughty and cruel. They feared power but did not have virtue. In order to consolidate Liaodong, I thought that I should quickly form the Liaodong Legion and go to Liaodong to intimidate the tigers and wolves."
After Kang Chengdong finished writing the memorial, he felt relieved and called the Qianhu, asking him to call some reliable personnel, and immediately took a boat to Zhongdu and went to Chengtian to listen as soon as possible.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
While the battle of Shengjing, the five Ming troops began to pounce towards the target like tigers. It seemed like a turbulent tide, but under the strict organization, it was orderly. Li Xiao's Wuhan Army and Mu Jianming's Sunan Army went to Lingbi and Xiaoxian to try to defeat the two green camps on both wings of the Qing army in one fell swoop, forming a siege against the Manchu and Mongolian horses in the middle. Sun Tangfu's Chengdu Army, Zhang Youde's Haidu Army, and Xu Dachang's colonial army also launched feint attacks from various prefectures to shock the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners in the middle and gain some time for Li Xiao and Mu Jianming.
Zhu Jun seemed to be very carefree. In fact, he took the lead in the battle to fight in person. It was impossible to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy in person. The so-called "di" was just to sit in the rear and drink tea and read the military newspaper. It made Wang Qiu very depressed. When the court ordered him to be the governor of the Guards Army, he was still very excited for a while. What is the Guards Army? That is the Imperial City Guards, which is the direct legion of the Emperor's Capital and the Emperor's Emperor's Army. They are the major armies of the Ming Dynasty.
The elite elite in the regiment are the first to distribute the legion of all new weapons and the most honorary legion. The emperor named him to be the governor of the Guards. This not only demonstrated his trust in the emperor's mind, but also showed that the emperor valued his abilities. After all, the responsibility of the guards is the most important. Unless the emperor trusts him very much and believes in his abilities, it would not be his turn to steal his head.
The Guards Army is so good. Wang Qiu lives a comfortable life. In addition to training the soldiers hard every day, he can also have air conditioners to train the prince. Tsk tsk. How big is this? It is equivalent to those princes and martial arts teachers. Among so many governors of the army, Wang Qiu saw Mu Jian.
Youde, Li Xiao and others. The waist is straighter than the gun. This is called face. My Lao Wangdi Legion is at the foot of the emperor. Can you? All the ground cannons in my Lao Wang's Legion have been replaced with the latest ground cannons. You may have to wait a year or two? My Lao Wang trains the prince's land every morning exercise. Tsk tsk. I'm afraid the prince will be in person when he sees them all. Wang Qiudi, the governor of the Guards, did make Zhang Youde and Mu Jianming covetously.
The so-called gains and losses have to be lost. The troublesome thing that made Wang Qiu finally come. As the governor of the Guards, his mission is to protect the imperial city and the emperor. However, although the emperor personally fought, he must never go to the front line to charge. Therefore, the problem arises. The emperor cannot go to the front line. Then protecting the guards corps cannot go to the front line, which is the key to the problem. On the surface, it is said that it is to be personally fought. But in the imperial guards, the imperial guards have always been stopped in Fengyang, Zhongdu. The guards corps naturally cannot have the opportunity to go to the position themselves. Wang Qiu then discovered that although the guards corps are glamorous, it is basically just a idle position. Because the guards officers must never go to the battlefield unless the situation is extremely critical, which means that Wang Qiu can only stare at the General Staff and watch the legions arrive at the destination. Then he enters the combat state according to the original plan.
At this time, it is a false saying that Wang Qiu does not regret it. Without merit, it means that he cannot be promoted. In the future, he will be princes. He can't hold a little marquis until his hair is gray, right? But Wang Qiu knew that the emperor's safety was the first. The guards can only stay honestly in the rear. He must never go to the front line.
Zhu Jun understood Wang Qiudi's thoughts. However, the court had already customized this point. No title could be awarded without merit. In other words, Wang Qiu stayed in the Guards for one day. This title should never be promised. This is the rule. If Jun broke this rule, a hundred years later, his descendants would know how many Dukes and Marquis would be awarded. Therefore, this precedent would never be compromised. Zhu Jun naturally knew Wang Qiudi's difficulties. He had to summon him to comfort him frequently. The emperor told you not to regret it. Wang Qiu naturally pretended to be happy. It was said that protecting the emperor was as heavy as Mount Tai, which was considered as no war. Without merit, he could not achieve merit. It was also worth it.
Things became interesting in the next few days. First, Fuquan arrived at Chongming Island by boat from North Korea and arrived at Fengyang by escort. At the same time, a memorial of a great victory was also passed. After ten days, when Mu Jianming and Li Xiao launched an offensive against the two wings of the Green Camp, another good news came to Shengjing to occupy it. Zhu Jun held the memorial of a good news and couldn't help but tremble. As the war inside the pass began, Manchu's hometown was taken over. What does this mean?
"Transfer the order." Zhu Jun issued an order to Xiao Guizi who was accompanying the army, asking Li Dingguo and Wang Qiu to meet quickly, and..." Zhu Jun threw the memorial to Xiao Guizi: "Send this back to Jiangnan quickly. Five days later, I want all the front pages of the mansion to publish this news, go quickly."
Seeing that Zhu Jun's face could not be concealed, Guizi immediately let go, and then smiled and ran out of the hall with the memorial.
Below the memorial that was reported by Kang Chengdong, Zhu Jun spread out Kang Chengdong's memorial, looked carefully, then frowned, and murmured: "This Kang Chengdong is a meticulous person." He closed the memorial, and then he couldn't help but feel enlightened on the chair. Fengyang City, as the Zhongdu, had already built a continuous palace, and Zhu Jun rested in the hall, all the imperial supplies were available, but after the war, many things needed to be sorted out before they could be used. So the chair that Zhu Jun was sitting on seemed very glamorous on the surface, but when he leaned back, a creaking sound came immediately.
Zhu Jun turned a deaf ear, but his thoughts drifted to Liaodong. Kang Chengdong said nothing wrong. The west side of Liaodong is Chahar and Mongolian tribes. These people have to face the threat of Jung's timely, and the Chahar people also vowed each other with the Ming people. However, this alliance sounds good and promised, but it is not good to say. In fact, it is fart. As long as there is a chance, the Mongolians will not be willing to extend their tentacles into Liaodong. In the north of Liaodong, there are Japanese people. Zhu Jun knew the nature of the Japanese and could still control them now. However, if there is a chance, the Japanese might also cause trouble at any time. North Korea in the south seems to be peaceful, but they cannot trust them too much. More importantly, there are still many scattered Manchus in the entire Liaodong territory. Therefore, it is urgent to form a Liaodong Legion and quickly go to Liaodong.
Zhu Jun was not worried about the formation of the legion. In the Nanjing recruit training camp, there were more than 10,000 new recruits waiting to be assigned. Hundreds of people were drawn from each legion to be the backbone, and a group of graduates from the Royal Martial Arts Hall were transferred to the past. The prototype of a legion took shape. However, the candidate for the Liaodong Legion Governor made Zhu Jun difficult. This person must have experience in leading troops, qualifications and contributions. More importantly, he must be very familiar with the situation and climate in Liaodong. Liaodong is not as south of the Yangtze River. Most of the areas here are tropical, but there is heavy snow everywhere, thousands of miles of snow fields, and different climates. The terrain of Liaodong must also be familiar with the terrain. It is impossible for the new governor to take a year and a half to slowly adapt and get familiar with it slowly. Otherwise, once a mess occurs, it is not a fun thing.
Finally, Zhu Jun took his eyes
The content of the upper part of Kang Chengdong's memorial is worth mentioning that a Qianhu, a small Qianhu captain was originally ordered by the Beiyang Navy to transport food and grass to the Japanese. It has been a year since the Chahar people rebelled, Qianhu seized the opportunity and acted without authorization, and immediately participated in the battle against Shengjing City. It was also considered to have made great contributions. This person fought side by side with Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and Ezhehan, and also understood the two of them. What puzzled Zhu Jun was that the memorial for the Qianhu was written about the memorial for the victory. In terms of the Han people, this person made the first contribution in this memorial. Why did Kang Chengdong mention it again?
Although Zhu Jun is not a smart person, he immediately understood the whirlpool of struggle in the depths, and then looked at the waiter beside him: "Go and ask, this time there are a thousand households in it who come to deliver the memorial."
After hearing this, the eunuch immediately left the hall.
Anyone who comes to deliver memorials must wait outside the palace gate for an hour, so as to call them to ask at any time, so the little eunuch quickly called back and forth: "Your Majesty, there is a thousand households."
Zhu Jun immediately smiled, and it was indeed not as expected. Kang Chengdong was very slippery. In fact, the matter was very simple. Kang Chengdong felt that this Qianjia was the candidate for the governor, but after all, he was just a graduate who followed the military and observed politics. Why did he recommend it to the emperor? Of course, he could not mention this kind of thing. After all, he was the candidate for the governor of the first-rank military officer. The envoy who was a first-rank military officer looked glamorous, but he was just a graduate sent by the ruling power.
Even a ninth-rank official was not even considered a minor official. Even if he wanted to mention it, he would naturally remind the emperor in a vague way. He first praised Qianhu in the memorial, and then expressed his expertise and contributions, and then expressed his hope that the court could form the Liaodong Legion and send this Qianhu to report the victory. When the emperor naturally noticed that this person might even ask Qianhu to the palace to ask questions. If he felt satisfied, the governor of the army would be the one who belonged to the thousand households.
Zhu Jun suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile. At this time, he thought about it. This thousand households were the personal choice. This person was well-versed in Liaodong affairs, had a certain understanding of the Japanese, Chahar, and Koreans. He could decisively go ashore to join the battle in the face of opportunities, and made great contributions. The only flaw was that this person was just a small thousand households. If he jumped into the governor, it would be equivalent to jumping four or five levels. This might be enough for the officials in the court to quarrel for a while.
Let’s take a look first. Zhu Jun made up his mind and said to the eunuch: “Go and call the thousand households in.”………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wang Zhijin was originally just a small person, a complete little person. After Manren entered the pass, his father arrived in Luzon by boat at the age of thirteen. Ten years later, he was summoned to the army and became a member of the Zhongyong Camp. Later, he gradually rose to Baihu as the Ming army fought east and west. Later, the Ming navy expanded, and he was transferred to the captain of Qianhu in the Beiyang Navy. During this period, Qianhu was too common in the Ming Dynasty. There were no five hundred officers like him, but three hundred. Later, his fate began to change, and his ship was ordered to give
He sent supplies and food to the Japanese for a whole year. He was a southerner and was not adapted to the cold north at the beginning, let alone the Beiting Protectorate in the extreme north. If he sucked a snot there, if he wiped it a little later, he might have frozen into small icicles under his nose. The sky was cold, the ground was cold, and even the air was bone-willed. He silently went from the ships leading him, and some small and medium-sized transport ships recruited from North Korea to Beiting, and then returned from Beiting, like all the Ming soldiers, who abide by his duties.
For a whole year and a half, he adapted to the air here and how to deal with the Japanese. If he didn't make any mistakes, perhaps in three to five years, he would be promoted to a guerrilla general, but the battle of Shengjing changed his orders. He was indeed a man with some courage. Some of these courages were born, some were trained in the army, and some were instilled in night schools. He was as enthusiastic as all the Ming officers and soldiers, and also all the
People were full of bone hatred towards the Manchus. Because of this, after learning that the Chahars appeared in Liaodong, he resolutely ordered all combatants of the fleet to land and participate in the battle. This decision was quite disobedient, because the Beiyang Navy ordered him to only allow him to transport supplies. He keenly seized the opportunity and landed with artillery and soldiers on the ship. With his usual relationship with the Japanese, he immediately became one of the three giants in Liaodong.
At this moment, he stood outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's summons. In fact, the possibility of summoning was very low because he was just a small person. After reading the memorial to report the victory, the emperor would never let him go to the palace to meet him unless he felt that there was some questions in the memorial. He was waiting here just because the emperor asked so one percent more questions.
