Chapter 89 Rising Star in the Military World, Guerrilla Zhang Cheng

In the 11th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, on October 23rd, at Sishi, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.

In the southeastern suburbs outside the Yongding Gate of Beijing City, Ma Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Tianxiaqin Wang Bing, is in the tent of the central army of the superintendent's camp.

The eunuch Wang Dehua, the supervisor of ceremonies, carefully took out the imperial decree from the yellow silk dark dragon envelope, spread his hands, and sang in his shrill voice:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:...Building slaves and bandits, disasters in the capital, and people's misery. All my subjects are gnashing their teeth. Today, I heard that the title of the right servant of the Ministry of War is the governor of the world.
There was a great victory in Mafang before, and now 370 slaves have been beheaded, and La Zhangjing, a slave, has been captured. It has inspired our army and promoted our country's prestige. My heart is very comforted!Special gift blue satin flat gold embroidered python gown, one jade belt each, 500 taels of silver inside, and twenty pairs of silver medals for meritorious service before the battle..."

The right servant of the Ministry of War, the governor of the world, King Bing Ma Lu Xiangsheng, was lying on the ground, already weeping, and was rewarded with a python robe and a jade belt. He was extremely honored and favored. This made him deeply rooted in Confucian loyalty to the emperor, and he was deeply moved by the mighty grace of the emperor.

Zhang Cheng knelt beside his uncle Zhang Yan, and he also heard the movement of Lu Xiangsheng in front of him. Seeing that he was so happy and excited at this time, he was also secretly happy for him in his heart.

Then, the imperial decree praised Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, and once again gave him a horse, two silver coins, one armor and one sword, and encouraged him to continue to devote himself to the king's affairs, use his life before the battle, and live up to my expectations!

Listening to the emperor's award to him, the body of the general soldier Yang Guozhu was also trembling constantly.

Then came the shrill voice of Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies: "... Zhang Yan, the general of Xuanfu Town, fought bravely in front of the formation, fought hard against the slaves and bandits, and gained a lot of money... he was promoted to the title of Commander of Wanquandu, and Zhaowu General, I am specially conferred with the Honorary Honor of the captain of the light chariot...a piece of armor and a sword, and 300 taels of silver..."

Zhang Cheng was extremely happy when he heard that his uncle Zhang Yansheng had conferred the title of Commander of the Wanquan Dusi, and also the title of General Zhaowu, and even the honor of the captain of Shangqingche.

Since he came to this life, he has been under the care of this "uncle" who is a general. It can be said that he can survive in this time and space that looks like the end of the world. He even has the foundation of the present and may have achievements in the future. Everything is inseparable from Zhang Yan.

What's more, in the upcoming Battle of Julu, Zhang Yan has historically sacrificed his life to accompany Lu Xiangsheng to fight to the end, and finally died in Julu. He is also a hero of the times.

Zhang Cheng doesn't know if he can save Zhang Yan and escape, because people in this era are loyal to the king, and you can't persuade him at all, not to mention that even Zhang Cheng can't tell whether his uncle Zhang Yan is loyal to the king or not. Loyal to Lu Xiangsheng.

So now that he heard the imperial decree commending Zhang Yan, being promoted, and being specially awarded honorary honors, he is really full of joy.

Suddenly, when Zhang Cheng heard his name mentioned in the imperial decree, his spirits were lifted, and he listened carefully: "... Zhang Cheng, a thousand households in the right-wing battalion of the town mark in Xuanfu Town, is loyal and brave, He fought fiercely against the captive cavalry, beheaded hundreds, captured Jialazhangjing, and handed over the banner of the official flag. He truly surpassed the great achievements of the three armies, severely defeated the arrogance of the Eastern captives, and raised our Ming Dynasty's prestige. I am very grateful!
...Written by Zhang Cheng as a guerrilla general...he was promoted to the title of commander of the avant-garde guards of the Xuanfu, was first awarded the title of general Mingwei, and was specially awarded the honorary honor of the captain of the upper cavalry...now he is given five BMWs, one hundred iron whips, and 500 taels of internal money...through It is said that the three armies, all the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, all look up to him as a role model, and regard it as a role model for killing slaves..."

Listening to his reward, Zhang Cheng only cared about the four words "Guerrilla General" for such a long content. He believed that only this general position was real, and he would be able to form a battalion of his own in the future, although it was not enough to compete. The demons in this world, at least have their own power.

As for other promotions to the rank of Commander of the Xuanfu Vanguard, the initial conferment of General Mingwei, and the special conferment of the Honorary Honor of the Captain of the Upper Cavalry, in his opinion, they are all false and have no practical significance. Not particularly transparent.

Without allowing Zhang Cheng's thoughts to continue to be unconstrained, the high-pitched voice of the eunuch Wang Dehua, the supervisor of ceremonies, came again: "The rest of them have made meritorious service. The generals will wait to drive back the Eastern captives. After the king's work is done, he will be promoted... Hope to kill Kill the slaves with all your strength, and make new achievements..."

Wang Dehua talked a lot more according to the imperial decree, until he finally read out: "This is yours!"

"... Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Seeing that Wang Dehua had finished reading the imperial decree, Zhang Cheng and other people in the military tent knelt there, shouting long live, and thanking the emperor for his mighty grace.

Governor Lu Xiang got up behind him, hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and took the imperial edict respectfully with trembling hands.

Afterwards, he received gifts such as python robes, jade belts, and flower silver one by one. Every time he received an item, he bowed his head respectfully and thanked him. After handing over the items one by one, Wang Dehua said to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile on his face: " Master Lu, our family congratulates you."

Lu Xiangsheng was deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness, and suddenly a burst of hot tears welled up in his eyes again. He just felt that all the grievances he had suffered these days were worthwhile, so he could not help but swallow hard and said: "My lord, please take a rest in the military tent. , the student is going to express his thanks, and I need to ask the prince to present it to the emperor on his behalf."

Wang Dehua responded naturally: "It's easy to say, Mr. Lu is very polite."

Lu Xiangsheng rushed into the inner tent in a hurry and went to write a thank you letter.

Here, Wang Dehua was still standing there, handing over the other imperial gifts to the generals who received rewards in the military tent one by one, especially Zhang Cheng's uncle and nephew were promoted to ranks this time. They all command the same knowledge, and they have their own new military officer's court uniform.

Together with Chief Soldier Yang Guozhu, the three of them received the imperial gift one by one, bowed down again to thank them, and stepped aside.

…………

The other generals who were also in the military tent also got up, stood back and waited quietly, they all looked at Yang Guozhu and others who were rewarded, especially the new star of the Ming military circle - the new guerrilla general Zhang Cheng.

The eyes of each of them are different, extremely complicated, some are envious, some are jealous, more full of hatred, and they also look indifferent.

Hu Dawei, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Township, was very happy. He was happy for his old friend Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanzhen Town.

At the same time, Hu Dawei was also happy for Zhang Cheng. He hadn't noticed Zhang Cheng as a young player before, and it was true that Mr. Qian from another town really couldn't catch his eye.

However, it is true that heroes cherish heroes!
Since he entered the defense of Gyeonggi this time, Zhang Cheng, a small general, has repeatedly fought against the cavalry, and he has gained a lot in each battle. Zhang Cheng's name has been praised among the generals of the three towns, although others may be more envious and jealous , even full of hatred.

But he is not a powerful tiger. He is a big tiger in Shanxi. He is also a person who has fought in battle for half his life.

But Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, looked at the three of them with deep meaning. Although he was envious of Yang Guozhu, he didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, it was nothing more than the honor of Zhang's uncle and nephew.

For Zhang Cheng alone, Wang Pu valued it very much, and he couldn't help thinking about how to bring this little brother under the command of Datong Town, so that he could gain some glory in the future, and then shook his head, feeling that it was a little impossible .

However, considering Zhang Cheng's age, he is in the heart of the emperor, and this time he has become a guerrilla general, and his future achievements will be limitless. I really need to make friends with this young general.

Guo Yingxian, Yang Guozhu's relative, didn't care about other things, he just grinned and kept laughing. He was happy for Zhang Cheng, the little brother, and Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief who replaced his family leader.

However, the other two guerrillas in Xuanzhen, Li Jianming and Wen Hui, were full of hatred, especially Li Jianming's eyes were like shooting fire. If knives could shoot out of his eyes, he would like to shoot his uncle and nephew Zhang Cheng with his eyes right now.
