Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 209 Navy Generals, Shunjun Dilemma

Carrier Hall.

"See Prison State!"

Wang Yingxiong led more than a dozen generals including Wang Xiang, Luo Yuxin, Hou Tianci, and paid respects to Auntie Zhu who was sitting on the throne.

Among the dozens of generals, the highest rank is the general officer, and the lowest rank is guerrilla. They are all the generals of the army that Wang Yingxiong gathered in Zunyi before.

Wang Yingxiong and others not only learned about the strength of the imperial guards on the road, but also saw cement roads, magical lamps and other strange things after entering Chengdu City.

"Flat body."

"Thank you Jianguo!"

After Wang Yingxiong and the others got up, Zhu Wei said: "You were officials and generals of the Nanjing Puppet Emperor before, and you once confronted the army under my palace, and you should be punished according to the law.

But thinking that you don't know about it, and nothing bad happened before, I will give you a chance.

Except for Wang Yingxiong who was awarded the title of Hanlin Bachelor and Hou Tianci who was awarded the title of General of Yongning, the rest of the generals entered the training camp to study, and then served after passing the qualifications.

Of course, in order to better lead the new army, Hou Tianci also entered the training camp to study together. "

This was the result of Wang Yingxiong and the others knowing about it when they were in Zunyi, but now it was just said by Auntie Zhu herself, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they did not dare to raise any objections in the Hall of Chengyun, and immediately received an order to thank them.

Immediately, except for Wang Yingxiong and Hou Tianci who were left behind, Wang Xiang and others were taken out.

Zhu Wei first chatted with Hou Tianci about Hou Liangzhu and Yongningwei, and then said: "This time Commander Hou will lead a battalion back to Yongning after studying in the training camp, and use it as a model to recruit and train another battalion." soldiers and horses.

In terms of money and food, the imperial court will not be short of money, but Commander Hou needs to train the two battalions well.

After the beginning of spring, leave a battalion to guard Yongning, and you will take another battalion to Guizhou to wait for the new governor Zhan Tianyan to dispatch. "

Hou Tianci now knew that most of the generals in the new army only led a battalion of soldiers and horses.

Although he is a general, he is able to lead two battalions now, and there will be a battle to fight in the spring of next year, of course he is happy.

Immediately knelt down and bowed to Jishou, and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

Auntie Zhu nodded with a smile.

After Hou Tianci left, Zhu Wei looked at Wang Yingxiong and asked, "Mr. Chunshi served as governor of the four provinces with the puppet emperor in Nanjing, but here in this palace, he can only serve as an academician. Do you feel that you are condescending?"

'Isn't it a big condescension? ' Wang Yingxiong replied in his heart.

But on the face, he replied with a smile: "How can it be true that the false emperor of Nanjing is conferring an official? Besides, the minister is guilty of the crime, and the supervisor of the country has never cared about it. He still conferred the post of Hanlin Bachelor. The minister really feels deeply."

Auntie Zhu naturally knew that what Wang Yingxiong said was not true, but she didn't intend to expose it, so she said, "It's good that Mr. Chunshi thinks so. From then on, I will leave it to Mr. Chunshi to write the imperial decree."

Wang Yingxiong bowed and said, "I will do it with all my heart."

After Wang Yingxiong left, Zhu Wei recruited Liu Wenxiu again.

After the ceremony was over, Aunt Zhu said directly: "You are good at water warfare?"

Liu Wenxiu listened and replied: "The minister Yu Shui Zhan can only speak roughly."

Auntie Zhu thought Liu Wenxiu was modest, so she asked again: "How is it compared to Zeng Ying?"

"It's not as good as it is."

Hearing this answer, Aimee Zhu was silent for a while.

According to her and Hao Guangming's thoughts, Liu Wenxiu played an important role in killing Zeng Ying in water battles in history, and his water combat skills should be good, but Liu Wenxiu thought that he was not as good as Zeng Ying.

She also wanted Liu Wenxiu to be the commander of the navy going to South Zhili.

"You just ask him if he can do it. If he can't do it, then transfer Zeng Ying back." Hao Guangming on the other side made a move.

So Aunt Zhu said: "I want you to command the navy that will go to Nanzhili in the coming year. Can you do it?"

Liu Wenxiu was surprised when she heard this, and then said solemnly: "The commander of the navy is related to the safety of the country, so I think Zeng Zongbing should be the commander.

Zeng Zongbing's ability in water warfare is first-class among the generals I have ever seen.

With his dispatch, and supplemented by two or three generals who are good at water warfare, the navy can reach Nanzhili safely. "

The captain of the navy is very important, and Zhu Yu didn't want to make things worse, seeing Liu Wenxiu said so, she said: "Okay, I know.

However, Zeng Ying may not be able to return until after a year, so you first select those who are good at water from various armies to form the navy of the Imperial Guard, and train diligently. "

Liu Wenxiu knew that this matter could no longer be shirked, so she said: "I take orders."

···
While Zhu Yu was worrying about the candidates for the navy generals, there were also people in Kuizhou who were worrying about the new army of the Chengdu court.

Taiping County.

As the ultimate place for the Litchi Road to communicate with Sichuan and Shaanxi, it was originally just a big town, which belonged to Dongxiang County, and it was not upgraded to a county until the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.

It is connected to Xixiang County in Hanzhong Prefecture and Ziyang County in Xing'an Prefecture in the north, and Dongxiang and Dazhou in Kuizhou Prefecture in the south. It is known as "the key of Qinchuan".

Previously, this place had been repeatedly contested by the Huang Shisan family and the Ming Dynasty army, so that the trade route was cut off.

Later Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, and the power of the rebel army increased greatly. They once occupied Taiping County, forcing the officers and soldiers to flee into the mountains.

It's a pity that within a few months, Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army was finished, and the front withdrew from Kuizhou Mansion.

The Daming army took advantage of the situation to come back and recapture Taiping County.

When Li Dingguo led his army into Kuizhou, although Taiping County was in the hands of the government and army, it was blocked by the yellow bandits and dangerous mountains and rivers active in the rest of Dongxiang, so it was impossible to send troops in immediately.

Even at the beginning of November, Ma Gan summoned officers and troops from all over the country to Dazhou for reorganization, but the officers and troops from Taiping County failed to arrive.

As a result, just as Li Dingguo was reorganizing the government troops from various places in Kuizhou and was preparing to lead his troops to wipe out the Yellow Bandits, a Shun army went south from Lizhi Road and captured Taiping County with the assistance of the Yellow Bandits in Taiping County.

At that time, this Shun army didn't know the existence of Li Dingguo and other new Ming army, and Li Dingguo also didn't know the existence of this Shun army.

It wasn't until the yellow bandits in Kuizhou Mansion were constantly retreating under the encirclement and suppression of the new Ming army, retreating into the high mountains in the north, and the new army chased into Taiping County, that they met this Shun army face to face.

It is now mid-December, and the two sides have engaged in small-scale battles around Lizhi Road for more than a dozen times, but the result is that the Shun Army lost more than they won.

This made Yuan Zongdi, the general who led the Shun army, very depressed.

Seeing that in the past few days, the troops led by Liu Tichun, Liu Rukui, Niu Wancai, and Li Laiheng retreated steadily and all retreated to the vicinity of Taiping County, so Yuan Zongdi summoned them all to the county to discuss matters.

"It's not that the soldiers and horses of the Eight Great Kings have never fought before, they are not our opponents at all, but now they have just changed their official skins, but they have defeated us steadily, you all talk about it, why is this? "

Yuan Zongdi sat in the seat of the county lord, and asked with a frown.

Among the four people below, although Liu Tichun is not as old as Liu Rukui and Niu Wancai, he has the highest general rank, he is General Guoyi and Feng Guangshanbo.

Hearing this, he first said angrily: "Why? They all have good armor and weapons, and their guns are also powerful. It doesn't matter what you want. They all rely on desperate efforts.

If those cowards from the officers and soldiers in the past, they could still defeat them at the risk of their lives.

But these people are said to be the elites assembled under the command of the Eight Great Kings, and they are willing to work hard. It would be strange if they can still fight. "

How could Yuan Zongdi not know about this?

So he frowned even more after hearing this.

Niu Wancai said at this time: "Since these officers and soldiers are soldiers of the former Eight Great Kings, and the leader is Zhang Dingguo, why don't we persuade him to turn against the government again?"

If it was a few months ago, someone here would definitely correct Niu Wancai's statement.

Their Dashun has seized the Daming country, and they are the government.

But now, no one has such thoughts—it took only half a year for them to lose Hebei, Shanxi, and most of Henan after being beaten by the Qing army.

The world is about to be taken over by the Qing Dynasty, what face do they have to think they are the government?
Anyone who is a little more sober knows that King Chuang's Dashun might be gone.

Hearing Niu Wancai's words, Yuan Zongdi wanted to beat him when he touched his iron whip, and snorted coldly: "Ah, Niu Wancai, have you lost your mind by being bombarded by the cannons of the army? Zhang Dingguo even changed his name to Li Dingguo.

After fighting so many times before, it's not that he doesn't know who they are, do you think he is soft-handed?

Besides, who doesn't know what's going on with Dashun now?His head was lifted by a donkey, so he turned against the government and took refuge in them. "

Niu Wancai was also a member of Li Zicheng's old camp, and he was not too afraid of Yuan Zongdi. He spread his hands and said, "Then what do you say? King Chuang has issued a death order, asking us to open the road from Kuizhou to Huguang.

We have been here for more than a month and have not completed the military order. Instead, we will be beaten back to Shaanxi, and we will all be punished by King Chuang! "

Thinking of Li Zicheng's military order, the few people sitting in the lobby of the county government office fell silent immediately, and the atmosphere became even more gloomy.

Although King Chuang didn't explain it, everyone here has fought for several years and knows why King Chuang issued such an order.

Now the Qing army is attacking Shaanxi in two routes, the north and the south. The situation on the north route is still unknown, but the Qing army camp outside Tongguan on the south route has been increasing its troops.

In this way, there must be a big battle between them and the Qing army around the New Year.

If this battle is lost, King Chuang will definitely abandon Shaanxi and go south.

And Kuizhou's Lychee Road is an important passage for them to go south.

If they can't occupy and get through the litchi road, it means that they have only Wuguan road to go in the future.

That situation is too dangerous.

　The update came late.
