Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 335 The Qing Prisoners Wouldn’t Be Scared to Back Out of the Pass, Would They?

Although the imperial guards cleaned the streets, many people still watched from a distance when they heard that Princess Kunxing, who had rescued Yangzhou City, was coming to supervise the country.

Many people couldn't see Aimee Zhu's royal driver, but could only see the imperial guards on the periphery, but they couldn't help admiring them.

"Every one of them is brightly armored and high-spirited. They are really mighty teachers."

"I heard that this is the Imperial Guard under Princess Kunxing's command, and they have defeated tens of thousands of Jurchen Tartars outside the city!"

"Ah, that's amazing. I heard that the Jurchen Tartars are all one foot tall, and some have three heads and six arms. One can fight a group of officers and soldiers."

"Bullshit, my second uncle is a Minyong who has been to the city. He said that Tartars are ordinary people. They have to wear two or three layers of armor to be invulnerable. However, it is true that one can hunt down a group of officers and soldiers."

"I saw that these imperial guards are also ordinary people. It's amazing to be able to defeat the Jurchen tartars!"

"you do not say."

"If you want me to say, the princess is the most powerful, with the help of the divine bird. I heard that the divine bird made a loud cry, and those traitors were so frightened that they knelt down and surrendered..."

Because the defense of Yangzhou relied on a large number of brave people, the news of Aimee Zhu and the drone had already spread into the city.

It's just that Minyong can't understand drones, and he doesn't know the background of the Imperial Guard Army and the Eight Banners Army, so the news will naturally change beyond recognition.

But in the end, let the common people know that it was Princess Kunxing who broke the siege of Yangzhou, and all kinds of absurd rumors added to the mystery of Aimee Zhu.

This made many people secretly decide to set up a thank-you card of Princess Kunxing at home and pray for blessings from time to time.

···
After entering the city of Yangzhou, Zhu Yu's imperial car landed in the prefect's yamen.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a rule that officials did not repair the yamen, but the merchants and gentry in Yangzhou sometimes donated money, which made the yamen of the prefect of Yangzhou look good.

Naturally, the buildings are well-regulated and do not exceed the regulations, but they are well repaired everywhere, unlike most local government offices in the Ming Dynasty, which are dilapidated.

After temporarily settling down in the magistrate's yamen, Zhu Wei did not ask about the people's livelihood affairs in Yangzhou.

For her, the most important thing at present is to deal with military affairs.

Although the frontier guards and imperial guards wiped out the tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops who came to attack Yangzhou this time, they failed to wipe out all the Qing troops.

As for which Qing troops were annihilated, and which Qing troops fled—the Beizhen Fusi Jinyiwei in the frontier defense army is currently interrogating the prisoners, and I believe that the intelligence will be gathered to her side soon.

During this period, the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army of the garrison government office came to report that Wei Yinwen, governor of Huaiyang, asked to see him.

After hearing this, Aimee Zhu realized that there was another Wei Yinwen who didn't ask questions.

It happened that nothing happened, so he passed it in.

"Chen Wei Yinwen sees Jian Guo Qiantui!"

After seeing Aunt Zhu, Wei Yinwen simply knelt down and saluted.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Jian Guo."

After getting up, Wei Yinwen couldn't help feeling nervous when he saw Auntie Zhu staring at him without speaking for a while.

But she didn't know that Auntie Zhu was listening to Hao Guangming read some materials related to him.

"As for Wei Yinwen, he is not considered a historical celebrity.

According to the information I found, he was from Hancheng, Shaanxi Province. He was a second-class Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and then served in the Imperial Academy.

He successively served as a servant, editor, and Shujishi, that is, he was mainly responsible for interpreting scriptures and drafting imperial edicts for the emperor.

When the city of Beijing was broken, he found an opportunity to escape, came to Nanjing, followed Ma Shiying's door, and became the supervisor of Gao Jie's army.

After Gao Jie died, the other three towns in Jiangbei and the center of the Hongguang court all wanted to compete for his troops.

Ma Shiying asked Wang Yongji to be the governor of the river defense military, and he was in charge of Henan, Fengyang Prefecture, and Luzhou Prefecture south of the Yellow River.

He also gave Wei Yinwen the title of Governor of Huaiyang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and was mainly responsible for the military affairs of Huai'an and Yangzhou. In fact, he wanted to control the soldiers and horses of Gaojie's Ministry.

However, no matter from the history or the current results, Wei Yinwen obviously failed to complete this task.

Of course, Shi Kefa acted improperly after Gao Jie's death, which caused Gao Jie's troops to collapse, but it also shows that Wei Yinwen's ability in commanding the army is not outstanding.

At least for now. "

Speaking of this, Hao Guangming paused for a moment before continuing: "Interestingly, Shi Kefa was injured in the historical defense of Yangzhou, and it is said that the actual governor of the city's military affairs is Wei Yinwen.

Of course, some people said that Wei Yinwen seized his power because he saw that Shi Kefa was injured and himself incompetent.

But no matter what kind of statement it is, it shows that the defense of Yangzhou lasted for four or five days in history. As the governor, Wei Yinwen probably handled more actual affairs than Shi Kefa.

Therefore, I think this person is a bit similar to Ma Shiying. He is keen on being an official and has a desire for power, but he should be a person who can do things. "

After hearing this, Auntie Zhu nodded slightly, and said to Wei Yinwen, "Since you are the governor of Huaiyang, what do you say about the surrender of almost all of Gaojie's former troops when the Qing army went south?"

Wei Yinwen immediately felt sweat on his forehead.

On the other side, Hao Guangming also secretly exclaimed that his wife was young, but even he couldn't help admiring the angle of conversation with his courtiers.

Down below, Wei Yinwen forced himself to calm down, and said: "I am the governor of Gao Jie's old armies, so I can hardly absolve myself of the blame.

It's just that Gao Jie didn't listen to the imperial court's orders when he was there, and after his death, his subordinates also guarded various places to be a hero.

When the minister went to his ministry to take up the post of military supervisor, it happened that Gao Jie died, and now he has only been the governor for two or three months, and he really has no ability to control the troops in Huaiyang, so he is willing to accept the crime! "

At the end, Wei Yinwen knelt down again.

Auntie Zhu sighed, "You said you were willing to accept the crime, but you are justifying yourself inside and out."

Wei Yinwen's face was full of bitterness, and he had nothing to say.

But Auntie Zhu asked: "Since you have been in office for several months, you always know something about the Huaiyang area?"

Wei Yinwen immediately lifted his spirits after hearing this, but still said cautiously: "I do understand a little bit."

"Then the governor of Huaiyang should stop doing it, and take the post of governor of Huaiyang temporarily. After this battle, the Qing army will definitely withdraw from the Huaiyang area. I hope you can do a good job in restoring people's livelihood after the war.

In addition, it is also responsible for raising part of the food and grass needed by the army.As for how to handle it, someone will talk to you later. "

Although the governor became the governor, Wei Yinwen breathed a sigh of relief, and even faintly excited.

Because he understands that before he was called the governor, he actually had no real power.

Although he has been reduced to a governor now, he can become a real governor only after the army under Zhu Wei's command drives out the Qing army and recovers the four mansions of Xufeng in Huaiyang.

The size can be regarded as a frontier.

At this time, a soldier of the Huben camp said outside: "Report to Jian Guo, Bai Xiaosheng, a thousand households in Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, begs to see him."

Bai Xiaosheng was originally a Jianghu man who was active in the green forest of Sichuan, and later joined Zeng Ying's army against Zhang Xianzhong.

After Zeng Ying led his troops to Chengdu, he was selected by Gao Shengqi, who was in charge of forming Beizhen Fusi, as Jinyiwei Xiaoqi.

Later, when Zeng Ying conquered Chongqing and Zhu Wei passed through Huguang, he made some contributions and was promoted to Qianhu along the way.

Now he is in charge of military investigations related to the second town and the third town of the border defense army.

As soon as Auntie Zhu heard this, she knew that the interrogation of the Qing army captives must have had a result, so she asked Wei Yinwen to step down and sent Bai Xiaosheng in.

As the name suggests, Bai Xiaosheng looks like he is in his twenties, but he only has two beards. He is tall, thin and fair, and he looks like a quack.

But he was very respectful in front of Aimee Zhu, and after saluting, he reported the results of the interrogation one by one.

It was only then that Auntie Zhu knew which troops of the Qing Dynasty she had annihilated during the battle in the south of Yangzhou City.

It is mainly the soldiers and horses of almost all the banners of Manchuria's Xianghuang Banner and Zhenglan Banner, and nearly half of the soldiers and horses of Zhenghuang Banner and Zhenglan Banner.

In other words, in this war, the Qing army lost nearly [-] Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers!
Knowing this, let alone Auntie Zhu, even Hao Guangming was secretly stunned.

"It is said that the Eight Banners Army of Manchuria in this period totaled more than 7. If you kill nearly one-third of them at once, wouldn't it scare the Qing Dynasty to withdraw directly outside the pass?"

In addition to being happy, Aimi Zhu also had many other complicated emotions in her heart.

Wen Yan said: "It is indeed possible. After all, in addition to the nearly 5000 Manchu Eight Banners soldiers, they also lost more than 2 Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers and more than [-] Han Banner soldiers."

Hao Guangming nodded, "In addition, their Green Battalion suffered heavy casualties—Li Chengdong's troops were almost wiped out.

When Yang Chengzu, Xu Dingguo, Li Jiyu and others attacked Yangzhou to resist Huang Degong's attack, they also lost many people.

Even now, they are still being hunted down by the Xiaoqi Battalion led by Ainengqi. "
