I'm a big dick

Chapter 204 A decree of grace, another great victory in Liaodong
Time is running out, and Shi Yong'an, the patrol censor, hurried over.This is also a meritorious minister who assisted Li Xun in making plans and making great contributions in the defense of Guiyang.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the imperial envoy got up and went to the main hall, stood in front of the incense table, and waited for the three people to kneel down to meet him, and began to announce the decree.

Wang Sanshan was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and returned to Beijing immediately, preparing to preside over the work of the Beijing Procuratorate next year;

Li Xun was transferred to be governor of Yunnan and moved to Zhanyi; Shi Yongan was promoted to governor of Yuanzhou and moved to Pianqiao.

In addition, there is another decree to reward those who have made great contributions in the defense of Guiyang, including Pan Runmin, who participated in politics in Sichuan, Yang Shikong, a scholar in Yunnan, and Zhou Lianghan, a school official.

Even those who have no fame, such as young talents Yang Wencong, Wang Sunzhang, etc., are favored to come to Beijing to see you.

However, the transfer of personnel in the imperial decree surprised all three of them.

Especially Wang Sanshan, who didn't know why.It stands to reason that presiding over the Jingcha can be said to be in his hands. Every time the Jingcha is held, all parties and factions will fight for blood, but it happens to fall into his hands.

After Xie En received the order, the three followed the imperial envoy to the side hall.After being introduced by the imperial envoy, it was discovered that this was Fu Zonglong, the new governor of Guizhou, who had come to replace Wang Sanshan.

As the new governor, Fu Zonglong is very low-key and modest, without the slightest sense of domineering in his speech.

He also told the three people that the governor of Guizhou would be moved to Luguang, while the governor of Sichuan was Cai Fuyi, who was newly appointed by the imperial court, and would move to Yongning; Governor Shi Yongan formed a siege on Shuixi from all sides.

Apparently, Fu Zonglong came here with a holy order, and this kind of deployment is also the latest counter-insurgency strategy of the imperial court.

"My lord Wang once served as an anthology of the Ministry of Officials. He employed people because of their talents. He was not a powerful person. Long Live is very commendable."

Fu Zonglong cupped his hands towards Wang Sanshan, and said with a smile: "The grand plan of the Beijing inspection is undertaken by the governor. It is also a new move. It can be seen that Long Live has a lot of trust in Mr. Wang."

"Don't dare, dare not." Wang Sanshan hastily clasped his hands and said, "With the trust of Long live, I dare not do my best and be loyal to state affairs."

Having said that, Wang Sanshan felt much more comfortable.It's not because my counter-insurgency work is not good, but because Long Live has to be entrusted with another role.

Fu Zonglong turned to Li Xun, cupped his hands and said, "Master Li has made outstanding contributions in guarding the isolated city. The imperial court has commended his meritorious deeds, and the decree should arrive soon. In addition, Mr. Li is the governor of Yunnan. Long live still has an explanation. The expectations are deep and the burden is also heavy. what!"

Li Sang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the meritorious service is not very important, this appointment has proved that the impeachment of him is just a rumor, or Wansui has already made a judgment.

"Long live the wise man, I serve the country with loyalty, how can I worry my father?" Li Zong replied loudly, clasping his hands.

Fu Zonglong said a few more words to Shi Yongan, reminding him to pay attention to his safety after moving to Pianqiao.

Afterwards, he took out the court's detailed counter-insurgency strategy and detailed all the measures.

In this side hall, the battle supervisors from Yun and Guizhou have gathered (Yuanzhou is also part of Guizhou), forming a three-pronged response.How to cooperate to fight and block the siege is very important.

In fact, although Fu Zonglong was conveying the holy intention, he did not fully understand the emperor's mind.

Zhu Youxiao believed that Li Xun was a talent who guarded the lonely city alone, was brave and resourceful.Transferring him to serve in Yunnan, in addition to suppressing the rebellion, also strengthened the army of Yunnan Province to prevent the rebellion of the local chieftains in Yunnan Province.

And these, Fu Zonglong is not clear, and Li Zong will only understand some after receiving the secret decree.

.....................

The so-called strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the toughness knows the loyalty.

Many famous generals and loyal and brave men emerged during the She'an Rebellion, and some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death were also exposed.

Those who are capable will be promoted, and those who are mediocre will be punished.

Li Yang, Shi Yong'an, Pan Runmin, a junior official in Sichuan, Yang Shikong, a scholar in Yunnan, Zhou Lianghan, an academic officer, and Yang Wencong, Wang Sunzhang, etc., all showed their loyalty and bravery in the defense of Guiyang .

Big waves wash the sand, or it is an opportunity given by the times.They caught it, and Zhu Youxiao took a fancy to it, and wrote it down in his notebook.

Liaodong needs talented officials and brave generals, and the southwest also needs it. That will be the future battlefield set by the young emperor.

And these officials and talents who are familiar with the situation in the Southwest are highly valued, and those who need to be tempered and grown will enter the capital and accept the study and training arranged by the young emperor.

Of course, no one knew what kind of far-sightedness and grand ambitions lay behind the emperor's kindness.

And when the messenger who reported the victory shouted along the way again and galloped through the streets of the capital, once again setting off a surge of excitement among the people, the young emperor was just lifting a brush dipped in cinnabar, and made a decision of life and death.

That's right, it's the execution of criminals.

On the list of criminals to be executed after autumn, the emperor only needs to tick a certain name, which means that a life has disappeared from this world.

Li Sancai, Cui Chengxiu, Wang Haoxian, Li Zitong... There are corrupt officials, rebels, and landlords.

Although the young emperor felt that the pen was extremely important, he still seriously and solemnly ticked off a personal name, setting a countdown to the end of these lives.

I have tried to reduce the number of implicated people, that is, the punishments of the Yi family and the Jiu family.It is only the head of the first offender, and the family members will be pardoned, and will be exiled to Dongfan, Hainan Island, and Yunnan.

There are still many places in Daming that need to be developed, or that have not been developed enough.

Finally, after the convicts were determined, Zhu Youxiao checked it carefully again before putting down his pen and closing the roster without even wanting to look at it.

Wang Tiqian bowed respectfully and stood, holding a memorial to the victory in his hand.

"Prince Wang, present the memorial!" The young emperor's peaceful voice sounded.

Wang Tiqian hurried forward, presenting the memorial with both hands.The emperor became much calmer, but he was not as eager to lose his composure as last time.

Zhu Youxiao reached out to take it, opened it and read it.

This is the report of the victory in the fierce battle of Lushun Fort. Liaozhen, Dengzhen, Jinzhen, and Dongjiang joined forces, dispatched a total of more than 360 troops, defeated the Xianglan Banner led by Amin, and beheaded a total of [-] people.

Among the more than 4000 heads, there are 130 real barbarians, and the rest are slaves from the Han army and Jinmeng people.

Judging from the record alone, this is already the biggest victory since the start of the war in Liaodong.But Zhu Youxiao just glanced at it and focused on the battle.

The interception by Daheishan, the defensive battle outside Lushun Fort, and the victory in the final combined attack are clearly written in the report.

A single victory can no longer make the young emperor overjoyed. What he cares most about is the new tactics of the new army. What kind of effect will they have?
After reading it carefully twice, Zhu Youxiao came up with the key to victory, three extremely simple words: not-adapt-adapt.

That's what happened. Jiannu didn't understand the tactics of the new army for the first time, and he still fought the battle according to the original method. It's strange that he was undefeated!

In the past, the Ming army was not less equipped with firearms, and individual soldiers mainly used bird guns and three eyes.Not to mention the small power, the quality of the bird gun and the training of the soldiers are the biggest problems.

Because of the frequent blasting of the blunderbuss, the Ming army's blunderbuss players were often frightened when using them, and they lacked confidence in the lethality of the blunderbuss.

When facing the Jiannu cavalry galloping and roaring, they were under tremendous psychological pressure from many aspects.

The lack of strict training made them flustered in the combat center, unable to load freely, and often unable to launch lead pellets normally.

The Jiannu cavalry seized this weakness of the Ming army, swayed in front of the formation, and waited for the Ming army to release their blunderbuss indiscriminately, then accelerated their charge and engaged in close hand-to-hand combat.

The blunderbussmen of the Ming army had no time to reload after firing a shot. The blunderbuss did not have bayonets, so of course they could not beat the fierce Jiannu with fire sticks.

Therefore, without the protection of melee soldiers who dared to fight, even if the Ming army was equipped with firearms, it would be difficult to compete with Jiannu in field battles.

The most obvious example is the bloody battle at Hunhe, where the most elite firearms unit, the Qi Family Army, and the bravest melee infantry, the white-armed infantry, cooperated with each other to cause heavy losses to Jiannu.

For the artillery of the Ming army, Jiannu used shield chariots to deal with it.After getting close, he rushed up and defeated the Ming army with melee hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, whether it is a professor of martial arts or a general who has fought against Jiannu, there is almost a consensus that the Ming army's melee fighting is the biggest flaw.

The defense of Lushun Fort was able to win a complete victory. First, the sharpness of the Lumi blunderbuss was beyond Jiannu's expectations. Second, the bombardment thunder thrown by the grenadier showed the power of the explosive bomb.

Of course, the preset complete fortification is the key factor for winning.

What made Zhu Youxiao feel gratified was that in the final field battle, the pikemen with swords and shields withstood Jiannu's melee charge.

Although at a disadvantage, although the duration is not long, it is commendable.This proves that the rigorous training of the new army for more than half a year, as well as the harsh punishment laws in the army have played a role.

Zhu Youxiao read it carefully, thought carefully, and when he was happy, he also knew that it was time to continue to strengthen the weapons and equipment of the new army.

Learning about war in war is not as good as Ming's Jiannu in terms of overall strength, and the motivation and desire to learn and improve should be stronger.

After suffering a big loss this time, the tactics in the future will definitely change.

If I were Jiannu, how should I deal with the sharp firearms equipped by the Ming army and reverse the unfavorable situation of the confrontation?

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time, smiled slightly, and put away the victory report, and prepared to hand it over to the Ministry of War and Martial Arts for research and discussion. After reaching a conclusion, he will see if he can fill in the gaps.

"Another big expense!"

Zhu Youxiao said so, but there was no trace of heartache on his face. He smiled and said to Wang Tiqian: "The frontline soldiers are fighting to the death. The rewards and pensions cannot be delayed, nor can they be less."

"The emperor's kindness to the officers and soldiers is really the benevolence of the wise master." Wang Tiqian bowed and replied: "The slaves think that if the household department is not enough, it will not be too late to use the internal funds."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said: "Then the Ministry of Households will pay the reward first. Well, I will also reward the generals who have meritorious service. The recent income from the internal treasury should be enough. Wang Ban wants to save money for me , but don’t chill the hearts of frontline soldiers.”

"Yes, the emperor is wise." Seeing that the emperor understood his painstaking efforts, Wang Tiqian was secretly pleased.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, indicating that Wang Tiqian could step down.

Nesting comfortably in the imperial chair, Zhu Youxiao stroked his chin and wondered if he should do some activities in the capital so that the common people could truly feel the benefits of victory on the front line.

You can't spend too much money, if you want benefits without cost, what's the point?
