To be honest, when he heard Liu Wang's report, Hu Guang really doubted whether Wu Sangui had traveled through time and could actually say this?

But thinking back, at this time, shouting these words and making similar actions did have the effect of boosting the morale of the court, and it was also very irritating to Hu Guang's temper.

Wu Sangui also happens to be the queen of Jiangmen, has the conditions to read and write, and is familiar with historical allusions. In addition to the fact that he has left such a great reputation in history, his political acumen, even if he is still young, will not be low.

At this time, Wu Sangui was like a newborn calf, possessing a vigor that those veteran generals did not have, which was particularly valuable in the late Ming Dynasty when there were many veteran veterans.

It is up to Hu Guang to choose Wu Sangui and those veterans. Even if Wu Sangui is not mature yet, he would rather choose Wu Sangui instead of those veterans.

Therefore, Hu Guang's first thought after hearing the news was to reward Wu Sangui heavily and use him as a model. By the way, another problem can be solved.

At this time, Zu Dashou, who was standing below, could not help but smile happily when he saw that Wu Sangui, the nephew, was so valued by the emperor.

But it is true that this nephew is the most outstanding among the descendants of the Zu and Wu clans. I have always been optimistic about this nephew and gave him strong support.

Zu Dashou smiled and recalled in his mind that he knew the information about the three thousand Mongolian Tatars at that time and gathered the most elite 800 cavalry here. There was no doubt that they could win. I just didn't expect that this nephew was actually very smart, and he could do things according to the situation, which greatly improved the morale of Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that it was also in line with the emperor's appetite. It was really good! It is estimated that this time he will be at least a general, maybe even a deputy general!

While he was thinking about it, he saw Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smiling, looking at the ministers, and said loudly: "Guarding Wu Sangui has done great service, boosted the morale of our Ming Dynasty, and promoted our Ming Dynasty's prestige. I am very pleased, and I specially confer Wu Sangui as a conqueror." General, I am appointed as the chief military officer of Jinzhou. I appreciate this!"

In the original history, Wu Sangui's famous battle was in the third year of Chongzhen, when he led only a few dozen cavalry servants to rescue his besieged father Wu Xiang from tens of thousands of rebel troops. He gained a legendary reputation as "filial piety to all sides and brave to the three armies", and was therefore named a guerrilla.

In this dimension, Wu Sangui was like Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty. He also led only 800 cavalry troops to conquer the Tatars and achieved great victory. Of course, there are differences. Huo Qubing's victory was far from comparable to Wu Sangui's. In addition, Huo Qubing was one year younger than Wu Sangui at the time, only seventeen years old.

No matter what, Wu Sangui relied on his own ability to be awarded the title of General Zhenglu at the age of only 18 and became the chief military officer guarding one side, which was unique in the Ming Dynasty! It can be seen from this that Wu Sangui won the Sacred Heart with this incident, and he really did not hesitate to reward him!

However, among a group of civil and military officials who were surprised, praised and envied, another group of people were stunned, including Zu Dashou himself. This is not right!

Wen Tiren, the first assistant, was also a little speechless, but he was not sure whether the emperor did it on purpose or not. As the chief assistant, he still had to remind him, so he went out to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a commander-in-chief Wu Xiang in Jinzhou, and Wu Sangui is his son!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface he showed a look of sudden realization, and then immediately said: "This is an oversight on my part. In this way, Datong's commander-in-chief is not lacking, so I will transfer Wu Xiang to be the commander-in-chief of Datong!" A general, the Wu family is really the general of our Ming Dynasty!"

With this change, the conflict just now was resolved, and there would be no problem with the emperor's golden words. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone and everyone was happy.

However, while Zu Dashou was happy for the Wu family, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

But Wen Tiren was different. He was regarded as the emperor's confidant. When he discussed personnel affairs in Liaodong with the emperor several times, he already understood that both the emperor and himself were a little worried about the problem of Liaodong's generals turning into warlords.

This was mainly due to Zu Dashou being able to take the army away from the capital city. The root cause lies in the fact that there are no supervisors in the Guan Ning Army, and there is no restriction by the governor of Liaodong. Moreover, the relationship between the generals of the Guan Ning Army is intricate, and most of them are relatives or family members of Zu Dashou.

Although Zu Dashou was promoted and secretly demoted before, he was transferred away from Guan Ning's army, and He Kegang, Cao Wenzhao and others were mentioned. But there is still Wu Xiang, an old military leader in the Guan Ning Army, and people from other ancestral lines also have leaders.

Now that the emperor had used Wu Sangui temporarily, although the Wu family had an additional general soldier, he was able to transfer Wu Xiang away. Based on Wu Sangui's current age and qualifications, he definitely can't compare with Wu Xiang.

If you don't do this, transferring Zu Dashou away, and then directly transferring Wu Xiang, will definitely cause a backlash from the Zu and Wu families. However, promoting Wu Sangui to the rank of commander-in-chief and occupying Wu Xiang's position could somewhat alleviate the dissatisfaction of the Zu and Wu families and appease them.

Thinking like this, Wen Tiren finally understood the emperor's intention. Suddenly, he couldn't help but glance at the emperor twice, and then he immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

After Hu Guang heard this, how could he not know that the sage mentioned by Wen Tiren was not about resolving conflicts, but about preliminarily solving the problem of warlord tendencies in Guan Ning's army. This was indeed a clever trick that he came up with on the spur of the moment. Being complimented by Wen Tirenyi, he felt a little proud.

But this is not the time to be happy yet. Hu Guang thought in his mind, then sat back on the throne, and waited until the quiet whip sounded and the Huangji Hall became quiet again. He glanced at the ministers and suddenly his face became serious.

After a while, after accumulating a serious atmosphere, Hu Guangda said loudly: "I said that in this war, all the cities in the capital, the whole city, must work together to resist. Anyone who dares to surrender will I will punish the nine tribes, regardless of whether they surrender or surrender! But as long as they can stop the enemy from attacking the city, all the officials in the imperial court will be promoted, and all the people in the city will be exempted from tax for three years! Therefore, the people of Changli will be exempted from tax for three years. I will never break my promise. !”

When he talked about this matter, all the civil and military officials in Huangji Palace knew that the focus of what the emperor was talking about was not that the people of Changli were exempted from tax for three years, but something else!

Sure enough, after the emperor said this, his voice suddenly became stern, and he said loudly: "Yongping County Magistrate Zhang Yangchu, Bingbei Dao Bai Yangcui, deputy general Yang Wenkui, guerrilla Yang Shengyuan and other fifteen people surrendered to the rebels and ignored my request. The decree has caused countless casualties to the people of Yongping. I will also keep my promise to punish those who betray the country by treason, punish their nine tribes, and serve as a warning to others, and offer blood sacrifices to the people who died in vain!"

Having said this, he stopped, glanced at the ministers with cold eyes, and shouted loudly again: "Even if I escape to the ends of the world, I will not give up!"
