Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 218 Little Star

Needless to say, this army came from the Guanning Army. The leader was Wu Sangui, the deputy general of the forward right battalion, and led a total of [-] cavalry troops to Beijing.

Earlier, Zu Dashou of Guan Ning was very dissatisfied when he heard that Governor Ji Liao's residence was going to be moved to Shanhaiguan.He got along well with Fang Yizao, governor of Liaodong, and even made his nephew and Fang Yizao's son sworn brothers.As a result, Governor Ji Liao is coming, isn't there an extra boss, the biggest one!

For this reason, he discussed with Fang Yizao, and Fang Yizao reported to the court, saying that now there are only three strong cities in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty: Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan and their affiliated towns. Now that he is here, he should be there. enough.Jianlu often enters the pass from Jizhen, and the best policy is to have the governor personally keep an eye on him.

As a result, after this memorial was uploaded, there was no response at all.On the contrary, the new governor of Jiliao confirmed that it was Sun Chuanting who asked himself the governor of Shaanxi to figure out the payment of the garrison in Shaanxi.This time, Zu Dashou was even more dissatisfied.

Of course he had heard about Sun Chuanting.Knowing that this person is a stone in the latrine, it is smelly and hard.In Shaanxi, they are not even afraid of offending anyone.Now he has to go to Shanhaiguan to manage them and enter Zu Dashou's one-acre three-point land, which makes him very uncomfortable.

The same is true for Fang Yizao, the governor is actually Sun Chuanting, he also feels uncomfortable!If possible, neither of them would like Sun Chuanting to be governor of Jiliao.

However, before they got their wrong thoughts, they heard that Sun Chuanting temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp. The status in the eyes of the emperor.Even Yuan Chonghuan, who was once very trusted by the emperor, did not have this experience.

In this regard, Fang Yizao and Zu Dashou had no choice but to discuss how to deal with Sun Chuanting's appointment as Governor of Jiliao after arriving at Shanhaiguan.

You must know that in the current Guan Ning army, the ancestor family is the most powerful force, especially after marrying the Wu family.To put it bluntly, in the three-acre land from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, the surname Zu is more than the surname Zhu.

However, what made Zu Dashou heave a sigh of relief was that after Sun Chuanting arrived, he did not immediately implement his policy of clearing the settlements for payment, and he didn't even mention it. Official documents within the authority.

Although there is no trouble for the time being, Zu Dashou also knows that when Sun Chuanting takes office as a new official, he must show his prestige.Right now, people and animals are harmless, just because he is still familiar with it.For this reason, Zu Dashou secretly raised his spirit to guard against Sun Chuanting.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the emperor came over with a decree, specifying that Wu Sangui should be transferred to lead the cavalry from the headquarters into the pass.

This matter surprised Zu Dashou and others again.A group of people discussed urgently at that time, wondering if it might be related to Sun Chuanting.If they want to fight against Sun Chuanting, they had better have enough capital in their hands.Therefore, their original intention was not to let Wu Sangui enter the customs.

For this reason, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, was going to write to the court, saying that the threat of Liaodong Jianlu was too great, and it was not appropriate to divide troops from Ningjin.

When Sun Chuanting asked about this matter, Fang Yizao even "struggled with reason", emphasizing the power of Jianlu.If Jianlu encircles Jinzhou again, there will be a shortage of troops to rescue Jinzhou.

Just here in Shanhaiguan, in the past, there was a post of Liaodong Manager.This strategy is actually similar to that of the governor, but relatively speaking, it is weaker than the governor.Because their titles are high or low.

During the Tianqi period, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, and Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, were at odds.As a result, Xiong Tingbi couldn't fight Wang Huazhen, and under the constraints, the Liaodong War was defeated.

Although the governor is the nominal superior of the governor, generally speaking, the governor has the capital to fight against the governor, and they are all from the big officials of the Ming Dynasty.They all have the power to go directly to the emperor.Therefore, under normal circumstances, the governor will not really use the governor as a subordinate, and if there is any disagreement, he will consider it.

However, this matter has not yet come to a conclusion. Immediately afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen's second decree came again.The bandits from the Central Plains rebelled again and urged Wu Sangui to enter the pass immediately.

The tone of this decree was stern, and the urging was very obvious.Sun Chuanting immediately ordered that Wu Sangui must enter the pass immediately, otherwise he would be disobeying the order.

As for Zu Dashou, they finally understood that it was not Sun Chuanting who sent Wu Sangui to the border, but the bandits who were causing trouble again. They were relieved.

As for the thieves, they don't worry about anything.So, as soon as I changed my mind, I turned to Wu Sangui's official position again.

In the past, as long as the Guan Ning army entered the customs, such as Zu Kuan, Cao Wenzhao and others, they would all be named general officers.And Wu Sangui's military position at this time is only equivalent to the deputy commander.If you want to go up one liter, this is a good opportunity.

Therefore, after the discussion between the Zu and Wu families, they no longer thought about resisting the edict, and asked Wu Sangui to immediately lead the [-] cavalry from the headquarters into the pass.

At this time, Wu Sangui was already 27 years old.The blood of youth has faded away, and under the orders of the Zu and Wu families, it can be regarded as "mature".

His mind is also on promotion.After arriving at the outskirts of the capital, I was waiting. The emperor should reward himself, at least like Zu Kuan, to a general who aided and suppressed the army, right?

But what disappointed him was that after the emperor knew that he had arrived, he didn't let him go to Beijing for an audience, nor did he award him a reward, but just let him camp outside the city and wait for orders.

Regarding this, Wu Sangui couldn't help feeling puzzled, and quickly sent his servants to take off their military uniforms, and went into the city to find his father, Wu Xiang, to ask about the situation.

Wu Xiang was sent by Sun Chengzong to rescue his brother-in-law Zu Dashou during the Battle of Daling River in August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, but he became a fleeing general, so that the Ming army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Daling River and Zu Dashou surrendered Manchu, of course, fled back later.

As a result of this battle, Sun Chengzong was dismissed from his official post and returned home to retire; Wu Xiang, the runaway general, did not escape either and was imprisoned.However, the Wu family was rich, and he was soon released from prison and became an unemployed vagrant, which did not affect his son's official career.Now at this time, I am listening to music and watching operas in the Wu Mansion in the capital.

Before it was dark, the servant rushed back to the barracks outside the city, and reported to Wu Sangui: "Master, the master said that the emperor has issued an order to personally conquer those thieves, so he is busy now! It should be before the expedition. I will give the young master the post of General Soldier of Support and Suppression."

In fact, this is also a common practice, at least Zu Kuan and Cao Wenzhao have experienced it.

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was very surprised and asked with some disbelief: "What do you mean, the emperor wants to lead the expedition in person?"

This news, in fact, is not only Wu Sangui, but everyone will be very surprised after hearing it.

Counting back, apart from Emperor Zhengde who had experience in personal military campaigns, there were only a few emperors who had experience in military campaigns during the founding of the country.As for Emperor Yingzong, that is a joke.

Therefore, the servant replied affirmatively: "The emperor said that this time he would completely eliminate the bandit rebellion and restore peace to the people of the world, so he decided to go on a personal expedition."

"Oh!" Wu Sangui couldn't help admiring Emperor Chongzhen when he heard this.

He is a military commander, and of course he is a courageous person who admires him.If before hearing the news, he was more in awe of the emperor's identity, but now, when he knew that the emperor was going to lead a personal expedition, he was also a little surprised that the emperor dared to go to the battlefield. He began to have a new appreciation for the emperor in his heart.

Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry anymore, and just waited outside the city with peace of mind.

However, in the capital city, when the emperor's royal conquest was in person, all preparations were very efficient.The three battalions under the Yumajian's jurisdiction, those who can change their costumes, have all changed their costumes.In addition to an extra set of military uniforms, nearly one-third of all soldiers have iron armor.These iron armors were originally kept in stock, and were worn by the generals of the Han Dynasty during the Great Court Conference. This is the face of the court, but no one dares to make a decision.At this time, in the case of the imperial conquest, they were all taken out of the warehouse and used where they really needed to be used.

On the ninth day of June in the 12th year of Chongzhen, the weather was fine. Except for the sick and dead, all the soldiers of the three major battalions under the Yumajian gathered in the school grounds.Accompanied by civil and military officials, the emperor arrived, and even the empress followed with the prince.

The soldiers and veterans of the three battalions have seen such occasions several times.

They always remember very clearly that the first time was when King Qin rushed to the outskirts of the capital. emperor.

The second time, when they were triumphant, the emperor inspected them, rescued them, and really took them to heart. Even the wounded soldiers were very concerned and kept their promises.Such an emperor has never been heard of before.At that time, they felt that they were really lucky in this life to have such an emperor loyal to them.

After that, the emperor would still visit them often, making them feel that the emperor was always by their side.They never encountered some of the nasty problems they encountered when they were frontier soldiers.

In the three major camps, not only are they well fed and warmly clothed, but their military pay is higher than before, and there is no deduction at all.Therefore, they all cherish this kind of life and train hard. Even if the amount of training is much greater than before, none of them has any complaints.

Because they still remember that the emperor once said that he would take them to conquer Liaodong personally.If they don't work hard, one day, when the emperor really wants to fulfill this promise, he may disappoint the emperor.This is the last thing they want to see!

Now, the emperor wants to personally conquer those thieves, and the veterans of the three battalions are full of confidence.Not to mention now, even when they were frontier soldiers, they were able to chase and kill those thieves. They believed that the stronger they are now, they would definitely live up to the emperor's expectations.The emperor must see that they did not live up to the emperor's expectations.

As for the recruits in the three major battalions, although they don't have as many impressions of the emperor as the veterans.However, they were refugees who were plundered to Liaodong and were rescued in the Battle of Tianjin.When his family was ruined, he hated Jianlu to the bone, and wished he could fight Jianlu immediately, let alone fight the weaker thieves now.

They also cherish everything they have now, knowing that it is the reason of the emperor that they can have everything they have today.After arriving under the jurisdiction of the Yumajian, they also saw that the emperor would come to watch their training from time to time, so they were all training hard while being in awe. This was not only to let the emperor see their hard work, but also to help them In the future, he will avenge his hatred and practice the ability to kill the enemy.

At the same time, they naturally heard bits and pieces of the emperor from the veterans, and also knew that they could be saved by the veterans, and the emperor played a key role in that battle.And later, the emperor sent Cheng Yibo to settle them at the first time, which also made them feel the importance of the emperor.

Therefore, at this time, although they did not have the same experience as the veterans, it did not hinder their gratitude to the emperor.All of them stood there excitedly, watching their emperor take the stage.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen in military uniform, he looked even more heroic.The soldiers of the three battalions felt a little more intimate after seeing the emperor's attire, and their eyes moved with the emperor's figure, with a trace of fanaticism.

Emperor Chongzhen went up to the general's platform, glanced at the soldiers below, felt their love for him, and felt very relieved.Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, now I feel that this kind of army has lived up to my expectations.

He didn't want to talk nonsense, and after standing still for a while, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it obliquely upwards.

The soldiers of the three battalions below looked at the emperor and saw the sword reflecting dazzling light under the sun.Even the armor worn by the emperor reflected the sun's rays, shining like a god.At that point on the general platform, stood a majestic figure, dazzling.

This is our emperor!Almost all the soldiers could not help but say proudly in their hearts.

Emperor Chongzhen shouted loudly: "All officers and soldiers, will you follow me to conquer the bandits and bring peace to the people of the world?"

Without prior ventilation, almost everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Although this voice was brief, it brought together the voices of all the soldiers. It was deafening, echoing over the school grounds and echoing in the hearts of all civil and military officials, queens and princes.

As long as the eyes are not blind and the ears are not deaf, you can feel the love of these soldiers for the emperor.

The emperor's prestige in the army is something they never expected before!

Looking at this scene, even the prince who was just ten years old had little stars in his eyes.In his eyes, the person in front of the stage is no longer just the strict father who scares him!Even Empress Zhou saw another side of Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, with love for her man in her eyes.

Emperor Chongzhen on the stage, looking at the soldiers below, shouted with his own emotions: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!" This time, it was not only the soldiers of the three major battalions who responded to the emperor, but even those generals who came with them.They all have an urge to go out with the emperor!
Afterwards, the emperor didn't say any more extra words, and with an order, the three major battalions moved out.

The army marched out from the barracks. On the street outside, the people of the capital had been waiting for a long time. Seeing this mighty army of the emperor going out to fight, and seeing the heroic figure of the emperor, they couldn't help shouting: "Wan Sheng!"

As for Wu Sangui outside the city, he had already been notified and led his cavalry to prepare for departure.Hearing the movement from the capital, listening to the shouts of "Wan Sheng", for some reason, the blood that had disappeared seemed to surge in the body again.

Emperor, are you coming?
