Chapter 292: Something That Doesn't Happen Enough
After explaining all the matters on Wenlong Island, Liu Hong gradually kept going, took 2,000 people from the Thousand Households of Wansui Mountain, and left on two Galen ships that night.
As the commander-in-chief of this national war, there are too many things for him to worry about, and even if Jianyu has temporarily retired from the army, there are still many things that he needs to check.
The bereavement pensions and silver rewards of the soldiers who died in battle, the implementation of the accumulated military merits, the rewards of the imperial court, the deployment of soldiers in various border towns, and the distribution order and training of new muskets......
All this, with the prevailing bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty, if there was no Liu Hongji's watchful eye, each of them could be held for several months.
Since the soldiers at the border pass fought on the battlefield in blood, since they have promised, they must be implemented as expected, on schedule, and as soon as possible, even if there are great difficulties, they cannot lose their trust in these soldiers who are really working hard for the country!
From Wenlong Island to Dengzhou Mansion, the long sea journey took six days, and I rested for a night in Dengzhou Mansion.
On the second day, the original men and horses of the Thousand Households went north with an infantry army.
In order to be in a hurry, Liu Hong gradually 'borrowed' the only 300 old horses from the governor of Denglai by virtue of his authority, and went straight to the capital with his guards and main generals.
On the evening of March 28, on a moonlit night, 300 people arrived in the capital, except for a big stick mallet and a few personal guards, Liu Hong gradually let the others go back to their respective homes.
Because it was too late, Liu Hongjian did not disturb Chongzhen, but took his personal guards and went straight to Liangyang Mansion, the second in command of Jinyi Wei.
Even if he misses the two little wives in the family very much, it is only a matter of time before they get together, and he must patiently sort out the current situation in the court, so as not to be passive.
Liang Yang was surprised by the sudden arrival of the commander of Jinyiwei, but from the tearful eyes of the mother, Liu Hong gradually saw that this old man still cared about him.
"My lord, your decision to go to the rear of Jianyu is really too hasty, and it is not the work of a wise general!" Liang Yang wiped a handful of old tears and asked angrily.
Since Liu Hongjian went to Jinzhou with 3,000 soldiers from Shanhaiguan, Jinyiwei has never brought back Liu Hongji's message, which has made Liang Yang sit on pins and needles.
Da Ming has easily come up with a capable person, and Jinyiwei has easily improved, all of which must be supported by the kid in front of him.
If there is no such kid, Liang Yang dares to pack the ticket, this Ming Dynasty will still become the same in less than two years.
It was Liang Yang who was very indignant at Liu Hongji's abrupt behavior and expressed strong condemnation!
"It's pitch black, is this your Lao Liang's hospitality? In other words, this is the first time this official has come to your Lao Liang Mansion! For the chattering old Liang in front of him, Liu Hong gradually didn't care.
In fact, since he crossed over to this Daming, he has suffered this treatment a lot in the past year.
Whether it is Uncle Chongzhen, or Lao Liang, or the father of the family, or the two little wives, they have to nag him from time to time, and Liu Hong gradually knows that these are people who really care about him.
When he arrived at the house, a servant had already brought hot tea, and Liu Hong gradually ran all the way, really tired, snorting and drinking hot tea.
"Lao Liang, tell the official about the recent wars and the movements of the imperial court." Liu Hong gradually put down the tea bowl and said.
It has been more than 20 days since he left Shanhaiguan with 3,000 soldiers, and Liu Hongjian only knows that due to his explosive action, Jianyu had to retreat and return to the defense, and the rest is unknown.
"My lord, after Jianyu retired on the night of March 16, by March 19, my Jinyi Wei had spread the news to the saint, and the saint was very happy.
But when he learned of your ridiculous behavior, the Holy Lord was also extremely dissatisfied and worried. Speaking of this, Liang Yang glared at the commander and found that Liu Hong gradually did not bird him at all.
"What's more, after this battle, Daming and Jianyu played the momentum of Daming, which should have been celebrated by the whole country, but ......"
"But what, hurry up, the official is still waiting to go home and sleep!" have known each other for a long time, and Liu Honggradually was very dissatisfied with Liang Yang's spits.
"However, after the overall planning of the battle results submitted by the border town generals, the household department, the military department, and the imperial horse supervisor jointly inspected and checked, and found that in this battle, only the pension and reward cost more than 24 million taels of silver......
This is not counting the consumption of grain, grass, ordnance, horses, etc. during the war.
It is because those imperial historians, including the squires of the various ministries, the Hanlin Academy, the six ministries of Nanjing, and the three secretaries of the Zhuqing, all went up to oppose the imperial court and rewarded the meritorious deeds according to this example......"
Smack - Liu Hong gradually slapped his palm on the table, and the tea bowl on the table shook with a sound.
"Hmph, these bird civil officials, a group of things that are not enough to achieve and more than to lose, they didn't see their shadows when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, but now they jumped out and jumped, they should really be pulled to the border to take a look.
If they had seen dead bodies all over the ground, seen streams of blood, and seen the mutilated limbs of those border guards, would they dare to be so shameless?
The bad thing about the Ming Dynasty is that a group of people who don't know anything about war come to command the battle, a group of people who seem to know everything, but in fact don't understand bullshit come to trouble the dynasty, plus a group of eggless goods who only know how to be greedy, Made, if Lao Tzu is the emperor, Lao Tzu ......"
"My lord, be careful, be careful!" Liang Yang listened to Liu Hongji's words, especially when he heard the end, he was shocked.
Fortunately, this is in his house, and fortunately there is no one around, otherwise if this is heard by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Liu Hongjian was also angry, and only then did he remember that speech was not free in recent years, especially for people like him who were extremely popular ministers and still held military power in their hands.
Unlike the afterlife, you can lewd and pull calves anytime and anywhere......
"Alas, the official is also angry for a while, it's just that, the official is going back, and I'll settle accounts with these bird officials tomorrow!
It's really unreasonable, the group of idle officials in Nanjing really seem to have nothing to do, Lao Tzu brought money to the imperial court, paid them salaries, and especially would find trouble for the officials......"
Liu Hong gradually got up and scolded while talking, since he came back from the border town, Liu Hong gradually got into the bad habits of the big soldiers in the border town.
Liang Yang was sending each other off in the back, and he almost 'lost his hooves'.
"Open the door! Open the door! It was already late at night, and the door of Anguo Houfu was already closed, and the cow smashed the door with a big stick and a big fist, and his tone was full of excitement.
"Who! In the middle of the night! A housekeeper who lived in the upside-down room at the gate of the mansion came out in a daze with a lantern, and was very dissatisfied with the uninvited guests who disturbed his sleep.
"Kong Er, dog, are you itching? Can't you even hear my old cow's voice?
It's the master who is back, hurry up and open the door! The bull said loudly.
"The master is back? Master...... The lord is back! The lord has returned from the border pass! This family named Kong Ergouzi pondered for a moment before he reacted.
The lanterns that were excited for a moment fell to the ground, and he didn't hesitate to click and pull open the bolt of the door of the Hou Mansion.
"Master! The lord is back! Master! This Kong Ergouzi opened the door, and regardless of Liu Hongjian and his party, he went straight to the outer courtyard to report the good news.
Liu Hongjian didn't care, and led the horse into the yard, and several other family members had already taken over the horses to work.
After a while, the lights were lit up in the entire Hou Mansion, and Liu Delong, who was dressed in bed clothes, rushed out of the outer courtyard first......
