A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 588
Old Bainiu: Okay, the average order is [-], and the high-end order is also [-] or several hundred. The results are getting more and more satisfactory to me. I will update a chapter in the evening, but I can’t tell the time. Around twelve o’clock, people who are used to going to bed late Friends will watch it tomorrow.

……

The rumors in the capital, in fact, have been heard by everyone who went to the capital. After all, they also have eyeliners in the capital and have their own sources of information.

Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Fu Yingchong and others were angry and worried. Yang Guozhu was purely complaining about Wang Dou, and the rest were angry about Wang Dou's injustice, and at the same time, they were also angry that their award might fail.

Conferring Marquis and Boss, all the generals have the same interests in obtaining military merit rewards. After the news spread, the generals of the towns were equally dissatisfied, and even Fu Ying Chongwen also cursed at him.

In fact, in Beijing, Fu Yingchong also received filial piety from Shanxi merchants, but compared to his friendship with Wang Dou, the benefits he got were naturally insignificant. sold.

After getting the news, Tang Tong sighed to his generals in hindsight: "Oh, Uncle Zhongyong, this is the result of his great achievements. He knew that there would be today. This man, it's not good to be too good at fighting. In fact, he is like us." That’s not bad, it won’t be suspected or despised.”

The generals in Miyun Town flattered everyone, praising the commander-in-chief as being far-sighted, foresight, knowing how to keep a low profile and protect oneself wisely.

On the Liaodong general's side, Zu Dale and Zu Dabi were a little gleeful. The death of Zu Zerun made them feel bad.

Seeing their appearance, Wu Sangui frowned, and said, "Both uncles, Uncle Zhongyong fought bloody battles for the country, and the court treated him like this, which inevitably chilled the hearts of the soldiers in all towns to fight bloody battles for the country. On this point, we should stand on Uncle Zhongyong's side. .”

He said: "Not to mention the dozens of red barbarian cannons that Uncle Zhongyong left behind in Liaodong, my uncle told me to wait before he died to make friends with Uncle Zhongyong and the Jingbian army. This is a good time."

The Jingbian army seized hundreds of Han Eight Banners Hongyi heavy artillery. After the court asked Wang Dou what he wanted, he left dozens of Hongyi heavy artillery to guard the cities of Liaodong. When I returned to the capital, I was curious about the four-wheeled millstone cannons of the Tartars and the people of the capital.

Some of these artillery pieces will be transported to Ji Town.

Hearing this news, Hong Chengchou, Wang Chengen, Zhang Ruoqi and others were shocked.

Zhang Ruoqi sighed: "It's the speech officer again, alas, Mr. Chen is also confused, at such a juncture, he should stand up and support him vigorously."

He also suffered a lot from those speech officials and censors. At that time, he represented the Ministry of War to buy a batch of precision bird guns from Donglu, but he wanted to get some kickbacks, but he was questioned and besieged by the speech officials. Fortunately, he was very eloquent. , In the end, all parties were speechless, and then he left, still feeling lingering fear afterwards.

If Wang Dou was besieged by the officials at the court meeting, it would be hard to argue. Those crows are the best at messing around.

Along the way, Hong Chengchou was worried about another matter. The imperial court became more and more suspicious of the Jingbian army. Perhaps after that, Uncle Zhongyong and his invincible Jingbian army could hardly see the battlefield. At present, most of the Tartars are still there. There are thieves rampaging in the country, what will happen to the state affairs?
He was very worried about this, and when he heard the rumors, he cursed bitterly: "These idiots, who invite fame and sell the truth, seek rumors, and uphold loyalty for the country, but they are injuring the emperor. So confused?"

While scolding, he coughed vigorously, and even coughed up blood, which made the staff around him feel worried.

Hong Chengchou knew that most of the speech officials at this time were people who wanted to sell their names and uprightness. They only wanted to leave their names in history. The resentment of all frontier soldiers, even riots, will put the country in danger!
What is the border army fighting for?Hong Chengchou, who has served as the governor for many years, knows deeply that it is nothing more than enshrining his wife and son, honoring his ancestors, and the soldiers are only trying to get some military rewards. If they cut off their rewards, the possible consequences will be unimaginable!
However, do you really want to file a letter to the imperial court to discuss the matter and fight against the speech officials?Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou hesitated again.

Like Hong Chengchou, although Zhang Ruoqi also sighed, it was impossible for him to fight against the courtiers and officials. He only hoped that Chen Xinjia could stand up and speak loudly for Wang Dou, but Chen Xinjia's performance made Zhang Ruoqi hate that he could not , Angry and indisputable.

In the end, both of them approached Wang Chengen, and they were about to discuss the matter when a news came that shocked everyone, including Wang Chengen, to the point of losing their wits and turning pale.

Seemingly annoyed by the rumors about the capital and the attitude of the government and the public, Uncle Zhongyong ordered the Jingbian army to transfer to Changping instead of returning to the capital to accept the reward.

What does this mean?
Wang Dou intends to abandon the imperial court and not play games within the rules. One bad thing is that the two sides are naked and tearing their skins. The warmth between the two is absent. The mighty Jingbian army will stand on the opposite side from now on. This is a catastrophe. The matter is serious. , It is deeper than the sum of the thieves and the thieves.

If this is the case, even if the safety of the country is not considered, the end of the three people is also not good. Losing the official is only one of them, and there is even a risk of losing their heads.

Fortunately, there was still room for redemption. When they heard the news, Yang Guozhu and others rushed to Wang Dou's tent, tried hard to persuade Wang Dou to change his mind, and the three of them rushed to Wang Dou's tent with their staff and entourage.

At this time, Wang Doushuai's tent was already dark and crowded with people, and the generals under the guerrilla had to wait outside the tent. Wang Dou's prestige in the frontier towns and his contacts were extensive, so all the generals who got the news came. Even Wu Sangui brought Zu Dale and Zu Dabi along to persuade him.

Seeing Wang Dou's face, Zhang Ruoqi panicked and said: "It's easy to say something, Uncle Zhongyong must not be like this. The officials also know that Uncle Zhongyong has a grievance in his heart, and he deeply hates those officials who have nothing to say, so he will definitely write a letter to explain for Uncle Zhongyong. .”

He looked at Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou coughed while covering his silk scarf, and nodded: "The old man will write a letter and say something for Uncle Zhongyong. It will definitely not chill the hearts of loyal and brave soldiers."

Tears welled up in Wang Cheng'en's eyes, and he stepped forward and said earnestly: "As the supervisor Hong said, the lords of the government and the public are deceived by traitors. Our family will return to Beijing immediately and say goodbye to the loyal and brave uncle in front of the emperor. I just beg Zhongyong Bowan not to act as a class teacher, so as not to fall into the tricks of the thieves and do things that hurt the relatives and make the enemies happy."

Wang Dou just sat there with a cold face.

Yang Guozhu was very anxious, and almost shed tears. The veteran stepped forward and grabbed Wang Dou's hand, and said anxiously: "Guoqin, listen to my brother's advice, don't move for now, there will be a way to avoid this turmoil in the capital. Do not break with the imperial court!"

He looked around at the people in the tent, and said sharply: "The treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and the villains indulge in rumors. This is taking a sharp knife to gouge out the hearts of our generals. The loyalty of a loyal and brave uncle can be learned from the sun. How can we sit and watch the rumors hurt? The court If it is not handled properly, I will also not go to Beijing to reward you!"

Wang Pu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Count me in."

Fu Yingchong hesitated for a moment, and also shouted: "Count me in."

Wang Tingchen laughed: "Back then in Pinggu, the last general fought side by side with Uncle Zhongyong. How could I not be counted as one of them in this incident?"

Cao Bianjiao nodded vigorously: "Count me in."

Wu Sangui ignored Zu Dale's and Zu Dabi's eyes, and said solemnly: "The last general will be with Uncle Zhongyong, Uncle Zhongzhen share the same hatred against the enemy, and advance and retreat together!"

Liu Zhaoji, General Soldier of Eastern Liaodong, nodded: "You should advance and retreat with Uncle Zhongyong!"

Tang Tong looked around and hurriedly said, "Count me in too."

Wang Dou raised his head and looked at Yang Guozhu and the others suddenly: "Yang Shuai, you..."

Yang Guozhu waved his hand, his face was full of determination, and the scenes of his acquaintance with Wang Dou flooded his mind, especially the battle of Julu, and the bloody battle in Liaodong. hand, roared: "Unfair!"

"unfair!"

In the commander's tent, the roaring voices of the generals spread, and their voices spread outside the tent, and echoed, and spread to the nearby military camps. In the wind and snow, it was like winter thunder ripping through the ground, and tens of thousands of soldiers roared: "It's not fair, Unfair, unjust!"

Hong Chengchou, Zhang Ruoqi, Wang Chengen and others all changed their faces, and something big happened.

……

To the south of the east of the capital is Chaoyangmen, and to the north of the east is Dongzhimen. With the great victory in Liaodong, the capital is boiling. Because of this war, the aid army also suffered a lot of casualties, and five generals were killed in battle. One of them was the prestigious Zuo Dudu Zu Dashou, so in order to welcome the army, the Ming court took great pains to prepare various matters.

When the army arrives, when the coffins of the generals arrive, the entire cabinet officials will go out of the city to greet them. During the introduction, the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty will also hold three sacrificial ceremonies for the dead generals, and the whole city will mourn for the dead soldiers.

Calculate it is Youshi, and there is news ahead, the troops of the squadron will arrive at the capital tomorrow, and the officials of the Ministry of Rituals will finally tour inside and outside the Chaoyang Gate, intending that all etiquette will be perfect and impeccable, so that the returning soldiers will be grateful , Increase the heart of fighting for the country.

A head of the Ministry of Rites, who had seen the Chaoyang Gate area for the last time, nodded secretly. There should be no arsenic leakage. Earth, who gallops like this?
A general guarding the gate, swearing, was about to step forward to check, when suddenly he was dumbfounded, the group of galloping horses got closer and closer, he could clearly see the coming scene, and the continuous bursts of snowflakes, the figure of the leader Clothes and looks.

He was wearing a three-mountain cap inlaid with gold, and a python robe. His originally gloomy face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water. Looking at the followers around him, they were either Jin Yiwei or palace eunuchs. Knife, everyone's domineering look is displayed on the face.

This general had the honor to see the face of the leader, and he was favored by the emperor. The chief eunuch Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch, I heard that he went to Liaodong to supervise the army, and he came back with the victorious army. ...

Look at the usually calm and gloomy Wang Gonggong, now his expression is flustered, he looks in a hurry, the general is about to greet him, maybe he can help run an errand.

As soon as a smile appeared on his face, the prince screamed, "Get out of the way!"

Without mercy, he rode his horse straight towards the city gate and almost knocked the general and the head of the Ministry of Rites to the ground. and go.

Finally, after they finished, the general and the head of the Ministry of Rituals stared at each other, thinking: "What happened?"
