Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Yang Tinglin, who saw Aimee Zhu for the first time, paid a respectful salute with an excited look on his face.

"Flat body."

"Thank you!"

Yang Tinglin is 50 years old this year. His hair is slightly grizzled. He is tall, thin and energetic.

He was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen. In the same year, he was selected as a Shujishi and was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, he was envied by Yang Sichang for impeaching Yang Sichang and arguing for Lu Xiangsheng, and was immediately dismissed by Huang Daozhou.

In the autumn of 16, Chongzhen returned to the head of the Ministry of War. Unfortunately, before he went to the capital to take up his post, he heard the news that Li Zicheng had broken through Beijing.

Later, when the Hongguang court was established, he was ordered to be the concubine of the left, and he could not resign.

After that, he fought against Qing Dynasty with Wanji and others in Jiangxi to his death.

Although Yang Tinglin does not have much military experience at present, judging from his experience and performance in later generations, he is quite capable of discerning generals, and he also has a certain military talent.

Zhu Yuxi ordered Yang Tinglin to come to Nanjing this time because he wanted to grant him the title of doctor of the Military Law Department of the Military Affairs Academy.

The premise is that Yang Tinglin is willing to transfer to the army as a civil servant. It is definitely not possible for the army to use all military generals. This point has been proved by the previous dynasties. At least some people who are capable of writing and fighting must be used, preferably similar to the army of later generations. Clerical positions, such as instructors, etc.

Aimee Zhu's initial idea was to use a new style of civil servant or Jin Yiwei as the post.

But now both of them still need to be cultivated, and they can only be selected from the old-style civil servants first.

In order to avoid the situation where civil servants are completely overwhelmed by military generals again, Zhu Wei added a restriction to civil officials who entered the military system, that is, they can only serve in the military system for a lifetime and cannot be transferred to other ministries.

Just like the civil servants of the two systems of the court and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can only be promoted in their respective systems.

After the ceremony, Auntie Zhu told Yang Tinglin about the matter, and finally said: "If Yang Qing doesn't want to serve as a Chinese military officer, I won't force it, and I will make other arrangements."

After finishing speaking, she thought that Yang Tinglin would hesitate for a while.

Who knows that Yang Tinglin bowed without hesitation, and said: "I would like to transfer to a Chinese military post!"

Auntie Zhu nodded with a smile, and then discussed with Yang Tinglin the strategy of dealing with the Qing army.

Yang Tinglin was very cautious in his answers. He said he didn't know most of the questions, but as long as he answered something, he must be right.

This made Auntie Zhu feel that this person is indeed suitable for serving in the Military Affairs Academy. If he has merit in the future, he may be added as an assistant to further divide the influence of Li Yan and Hong Niangzi in the army.

It's not that Auntie Zhu suspects that Li Yan and Hong Niangzi are not loyal to her, but that the emperor's instinct can also make the Military Affairs Academy run healthier and more effectively.

Aimee Zhu was still waiting to ask Yang Tinglin about the Jiangxi region, so Zheng Sen came from the back hall, holding a telegram in his hand, bowed to Aimee Zhu, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingnan and the Seventh Town of the Frontier Guards, The eighth town converged in Ruyang, Runing Prefecture, and defeated the Qing army's Luck Dehun, beheading Beizi Wakeda, Jialazhangjing Haning'a, and Jueshan, and beheading the Manchu and Han Eight Banners. Three thousand!"

Yang Tinglin had learned about the military situation in Henan through Zhu Yuxie before, and at this moment, he was full of surprise when he heard the words, and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this battle has won a great victory, and the Qing army will never dare to leave a single soldier in the south of the Yellow River!"

Auntie Zhu smiled happily, took the telegram from Liu Zhu who was accompanying her, and quickly browsed it.

After Huang Degong received her message, on the one hand, he personally led the No.13 town of border guards (General Xu Chong) and the garrison troops of the two towns led by Tian Yang and Chen Xiance to go up the Yingshui River and enter the southeast corner of Kaifeng Mansion. Jieshou and Nandun two important passes, and then went to Shenqiu and Xiangcheng counties, and then turned south to enter Runing Mansion.

At the same time as he left the army, he sent military orders to Li Guoying and Ma Degong in Luzhou Mansion to let them enter Runing Mansion from the Huaihe River.

After meeting with the Eighth Town of the border guards who entered Runing from Hubei, Huang Degong learned that Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun, Luo Hu, Wang Jincai, and Hao Yaoqi led a Shun army of [-] to [-] to avenge Li Zicheng, and entered the Runing Mansion. He fought fiercely with the Qing army.

The Qing army of Luck Dehun originally planned to plunder some money and food in Runing, and then withdraw the population.

As a result, because of being entangled by the Shun army, coupled with the money, food, and population that were reluctant to loot, it actually dragged on for more than a month.

In the end, Huang Degong was intercepted in the area of ​​Ruyang, and he and the seventh and eighth towns of the border guards from the south attacked from north to south, and defeated the Qing army.

The Eight Banners Army of Le Kedehun was already small, and lost some more in successive fierce battles with the Shun Army, leaving only about 3000 troops.

That is to say, during the Battle of Ruyang, the Eight Banners Army that really broke out was only a few hundred people led by Luck Dehun, Aobai and others.

For this reason, the tens of thousands of Green Battalion soldiers who were friendly troops were sacrificed, otherwise none of them would be able to escape.

As for the money, food, and population that were looted before, they have naturally been lost long ago.

After reading the telegram battle report, Auntie Zhu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The combat power of the Qing soldiers is really astonishing. Our army is several times that, and we have superior firepower, yet we still couldn't completely wipe them out."

Yang Tinglin said below: "This kind of record is already quite rare. When the Qing captives invaded in the 11th year of Chongzhen, hundreds of them were able to hunt down and kill thousands of officers and soldiers."

"This time and that time."

After leaving this sentence, Auntie Zhu didn't say anything more to Yang Tinglin, and let him back down.

Aimee Zhu sat down, and found out a recent military intelligence telegram sent by Du Yinxi.

According to Du Yinxi, in June, except for the thousands of Shun troops headed by Ren Jirong and Liu Xiyao who shrank in Jingxi, the Shun troops from Xiangyang and De'an either went north to Henan or surrendered on the spot.

Even Bai Wang, the general of the Shun army who was guarding the security of De'an Mansion (anle in the name of Shun, naturally changed back to Anlu when Ming took it back), offered the city and surrendered.

Originally, Du Yinxi should take advantage of the victory and lead the army into Henan, and conquer the south of the Yellow River in one fell swoop.

However, because the number of Shun troops who surrendered totaled [-] to [-] (the Shun army began to expand its strength after the Qing army left), and there was a food crisis in Huguang at that time, and it was very likely that they would face a shortage of military food.

Coupled with the increasingly hot weather, it is not suitable for launching large-scale military operations, so Du Yinxi did not choose to lead the army into Henan, but sent the eighth town of the border guards into Runing Mansion.

However, according to Du Yinxi's report, Li Dingguo led the fourth town of the border guards into Nanyang Mansion after regaining Xiangyang Mansion.

Li Dingguo's primary combat intention is to open up the passage from Hubei to southern Shaanxi.

That is the road that Li Zicheng retreated from Shaanxi to Huguang at the beginning of the year.

In this way, Jingxi, southern Shaanxi, and southwestern Henan became one piece, and Li Dingguo's position as admiral of military affairs in southern Shaanxi, Jingxi, and western Henan was worthy of the name.

Although Auntie Zhu and Li Dingguo did not have radio communication, she was quite at ease about Li Dingguo's military operation this time.

Most of the Qing army has withdrawn from the south of the Yellow River. With Li Dingguo's military capabilities, he will not be defeated...

in the afternoon.

Aunt Zhu left the Forbidden City with a part of the imperial army, and went to the outskirts of the city to inspect the factories that had been completed or were nearly completed.
