eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 235 Good News
When Zhu Houzhao was still in the room, he heard a voice shouting. After all, he was young and had good ears, so he raised his head first.

"Liu Jin, is someone calling Northwest?"

When these words came out, both of them held their breath, and a few seconds later they heard a "Northwest Good News".

"Your Majesty! It's a good news!" Liu Jin was so happy that the creases all over his face came out, and after hearing two more confirmations, he almost cried with joy, "Your Majesty, what a good news! What a good news!"

"Go! Take a look!"

Zhu Houzhao threw away the memorial in his hand, now nothing is as important as this matter, from the first month to the end of March now, winter has lingered until spring, maybe people in ancient times passed time slowly, and they are also used to no news from people far away .

He, a modern person, is really dying of anxiety. To put it bluntly, he has dreamed about it many times.

The use of troops this time was his decision when he first came to the throne, and it was very crucial. If he was not a stable heir to the throne like Zhu Houzhao, he might not dare to take this risk.

And now finally... finally!
Walking to the gate of Qianqing Palace, I saw a figure rushing in, shouting "Northwest Victory" indeed!
Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists tightly, his body felt trembling, and he couldn't even bear the excitement and walked out.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Northwest News is here!!"

"Express delivery!"

Liu Jin passed by with small steps, and behind the emperor, Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun also looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

White paper was pasted on the surface of the beige memorial, on which were written the four characters Bianguan Jizou.

"Yang Yiqing, the commander-in-chief of the three sides in the northwest of the minister, played: In the first month of the 18th year of Hongzhi, the minister received an order to rectify the battle preparations and fight the enemy; In March, the minister ordered the troops of the three towns to rush to the Lingzhou Office, and Huozhai led the troops to retreat to the bank of the Luopu River; in March, the minister ordered Zhang Lun and Cao Sheng, the deputy commanders of Gansu Town, to defeat the first battle and lead the enemy deep, intending to complete their merits in one battle! Because I was appointed as the governor of the three sides for the first time..."

"Good! Good! Good!"

The emperor said three good words in a row.

"Yang Yingning's strategy of showing the enemy to be weak is good! The courage to take risks is good! The calmness of commanding in front of the battle is good!"

In Yang Yiqing's victory report, he described the course of the battle in detail. Of course, Yang Shangyi's majesty leading the Ming cavalry galloping across the grassland was indispensable, and Zhou Shangwen's miraculous feat of capturing Zana alive by defeating many with less was also indispensable.

Zhu Houzhao has always felt that the Ming Dynasty was not that weak at this time, and the Tatars were not that strong. The key is to use the right person, put a reliable person, and the court should not hold back the generals. Victory is still possible. Captured!
At the end of the good news, of course, there are the number of enemies killed and captured. Although Yang Shangyi chased the fire all the way to the Great Wall, it was very soul-stirring, but the enemy ran a lot, and the one who killed the most enemies was actually Zhou Shangwen. In the bloody battle by the river, he, the coach, suffered four stab wounds!
This shows the intensity of the battle!
In this battle, the Ming army killed a total of more than [-] enemies, captured more than [-] enemies, and severely damaged the main force of the Huosie Department.

Of course, the Ming army suffered a lot of casualties. The precious Ming cavalry lost more than [-] people. In fact, they didn't have any hard battles, and they always chased the enemy.

The Beijing camp led by Zhou Shangwen suffered even more casualties. More than [-] of the [-] cavalrymen were killed, and the remaining [-]% were injured.

Zhu Houzhao thought that although Yang Shangyi was considered a relatively skilled general, after all, history did not have his name. Judging from the shocking feeling, it is better to have a famous general in history books like Zhou Shangwen.

The so-called military talent is something that seems impossible, and others can do it for you.

If it is impossible, Li Shimin has fought a miraculous battle all his life.

"Chuan Cabinet, Military Aircraft Department, Minister of War Wang Chang, Minister of Rites Lin Han, Minister of Punishment Min Yu, Minister of Industry Zeng Jian entered the palace!"

It's going to be busy now, the court has such a big victory, there must be some celebrations, and the Ministry of War has to discuss the matter of rewards and pensions. Anyway, Zhu Houzhao, an official who has nothing to do with it, has been called into the palace.

In case it is necessary, it will be quite troublesome to have someone to announce it at that time.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Jin reported from the sidelines, "Your Majesty, Elder Liu Ge and Elder Li Ge are kneeling in front of the gate of Fengtian Hall."

"Kneeling? What did they say?"

"Of course I congratulate His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes changed slightly. In fact, if he could...he also wanted to keep the cabinet combination of Liu, Li, and Xie, but the quarrel between the emperor and the cabinet leader this time could not happen again.

"Invite them all to come here first."

These subsections can't affect the emperor's uplifting mood. After ascending the throne, many ideas and the starting point for breaking the game is this victory.

When Zhu Houzhao wandered back and forth in the Qianqing Palace and couldn't sit down with peace of mind, the news in the capital had already spread.

The soldiers from the northwest rode fast horses and rushed all the way to the Forbidden City. Who wouldn't know such a big battle?
It was too late for Wang Jia, Han Wen, and Min Gui to go back to their homes, so it was necessary to enter the palace as soon as possible at this time.On the street, the people are already celebrating.

Even the heads were more than usual. When Wang Kai opened the curtain of the sedan chair, he saw a young man who looked like a scholar shouting, "It should be that the imperial court won the battle in Ningxia. Let's go to Keqing quickly. He must know more. details!"

Sitting opposite him, Han Wen exclaimed, "The hearts of the people are available."

"In this way, Liu Ge always won't be able to stay." Wang Jia also felt it was a pity.

Liu Xixian has an excellent official voice.No matter what, he is not Liu Daxia's kind of person.Moreover, the emperor hated Liu Daxia even more, and he actually admired Liu Xixian a little bit.

"This time entering the palace, besides congratulating the victory and agreeing on the rewards for border officers and soldiers, Guan Dao and I will also seek a way out for Liu Xixian. No matter what, we cannot let him become the second Liu Daxia."

Han Wen is nothing, he and the emperor now have a high degree of mutual trust.In fact, if you get acquainted with Zhu Houzhao's habits, you will find that being an official is actually quite passionate.Because the emperor has the same thoughts as you, he doesn't like to enjoy himself, he doesn't do anything, he just wants to do a good job in government affairs.

"Brother Ji, Brother Guan Dao, have you underestimated His Majesty again?"

After hearing Min Gui's words, Wang Jia and Han Wen looked at each other and smiled again.

That's right, what kind of person is the emperor, and why can't he see who Liu Xixian is?
It's just that Wang Jia is like an old lady, who likes to consider all aspects since the emperor was very young.

By the time the three of them arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the emperor had summoned almost all the people.

"Today is such a great event, and I want to celebrate it with all my loved ones. I have been waiting and looking forward to it every night. Ningxia's good news has finally come. Thanks to the blessing of my ancestors, all my dear friends have worked hard, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp and border gates have worked hard. Daming severely damaged the Tatar Mengguoljin tribe in the area of ​​Huamachi in Ningxia, it was a pity that he failed to capture the fire screen, but he also captured his subordinate Zana."

"I congratulate Your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live!"

Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the dragon chair. After this, he still needs to pay attention to his behavior and don't make it too frivolous. "How can I congratulate this kind of important event by myself? The decree is to be held tomorrow. Let's congratulate together!"

"According to the order!"

The emperor was in high spirits,

Of course he should be in high spirits.

All the ministers also know what a big victory means.

The so-called prestige and reputation, of course there are some false things, but what is more real is that after the great victory, the imperial court will definitely promote many generals and soldiers who have made military achievements, and many of them are the emperor's people.

Now that you have military merits, it is only natural to be promoted to some positions.

Those people were rewarded, changed their fate, and were willing to continue to be loyal to the emperor.

In this way, the army will be more loyal to the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor with military merit and the emperor without military merit are politically different. With the support of the famous generals behind him, the dragon chair will sit more stably!

"At the beginning, Your Majesty was arbitrarily determined and advocated the use of troops in the Northwest. The former Minister of War, Liu Daxia, and other ministers tried their best to obstruct it. How could they understand the vision of the Holy One? !"

At this time, only Jiao Fang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, said this kind of talk about beating a dog in the water.

Although he was a little too complacent, Zhu Houzhao actually sounded a little relieved. He looked at the cabinet that opposed him at the beginning. In fact, they were all very old, and Jiao Fang made them feel a little embarrassed.

"I don't want to mention the past. I know that there are some fights in the court. As long as there are people in the past dynasties, there will be fights. However, the court still has to deal with the business first. The weather is bitter and cold, and the soldiers are not easy. They are all waiting for the court to give rewards. Even if we fight again, don't forget them. Not only the surviving heroes must be remembered, but the dead soldiers must also be remembered by the court. The Ministry of War must be careful about this matter, Jiefu,"

"Wei Chen is here."

"It happened suddenly, and there are many people who need to receive rewards and pensions. You should temporarily take the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and assist Da Sima to figure out the matter as soon as possible. There must be a list, the amount of rewards (pensions), the basis, and the requirements. The total amount of money to be issued must be comprehensive and detailed, not missing one person, not one person."

Wang Chang and Yang Tinghe came out to receive the order.

However, although they are called to be responsible, the emperor still decides how to reward some major generals, such as Yang Yiqing.

Zhu Houzhao supported the dragon chair, and continued: "The imperial court cannot allow the bloody frontier officers and soldiers to be wronged. The most important thing is Yang Yingning. He is already the chief officer of the three sides, and he is the largest official in the northwest. In less than a year, his promotion, we have to discuss it seriously, don't be afraid of being a big official, I am afraid that the officials of Ming Dynasty will not be able to make the credit for being promoted to a high official."

Liu Jian kept his head down and didn't speak. The emperor put the matter of rewarding the soldiers at the top of the list, and didn't care about Futao and his affairs... I don't know what the intention is.In fact, if you don’t say it, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have it.

Everyone knows that since Ningxia has won, the Northwest Army has been greatly shocked, and the hearts of the people of the world have been greatly shaken. At this time, it is time to repeat the plan and take back the country. Can this be stopped?
The emperor of Daming vowed to take Daming to that misty distance.
