268 The arrangement of Ma Xianglin and Wu Sangui

After thinking about the arrangements here, Emperor Chongzhen began to put it into action.

In the governor's hall, the general soldiers from all walks of life gathered together and gathered the stars.

Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, and Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, were the first on both sides, and the big red robe was very conspicuous. On their lower side, there are eunuchs and eunuchs from all walks of life, all of whom are qualified to wear big red scarlet robes, but they are different from the system of civil officials.

Of course, Jinyiwei is also indispensable in this hall, among which Jinyiwei's commander Li Ruolian and Qianhu Liu Yue are all serving on the emperor's side.

After Emperor Chongzhen greeted them, he smiled and said: "The efforts of the armies have put down the thieves in time, and there has been no large-scale impact, I am very relieved!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiyu immediately stepped out of the queue and played earnestly: "This is the work of Your Majesty's strategy, and the ministers can't take the credit!" ”

This is his sincere words, from the beginning of the whole war, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen was in command, and laid a net not to mention, but conjured up a lot of cavalry, and suddenly appeared on the battlefield at a critical time, making this time the thief become extremely easy.

Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, was only a little slower than Chen Qiyu, and he also followed the line: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and it only took half a year to pacify the Hetao Tartars and the thieves in the Guannei. ”

He knew a little more than Chen Qiyu, and he had a strategy arranged by Emperor Chongzhen with prisoners to lure the Hetao Tartars into an ambush, and accurately blocked the possibility of the Hetao Tartars escaping. And during this period, mobilizing logistics, coordinating money and food, and in all aspects, Emperor Chongzhen showed his decisiveness and wisdom. In particular, the emperor's culling of locusts in Jingyang, the methods of Xi'an Mansion against the King of Qin, and his heartfelt words in Tongguan made Zheng Chongjian feel a lot.

As far as his heart is concerned, he does think that Emperor Chongzhen actually has the majesty and strategy of Taizu and Chengzu!

When the supervisors and the general soldiers saw it, they also came out one after another to play the right role, not daring to take credit, and the credit was actually the emperor's own.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect his praise to make them react like this. I couldn't help but smile and shake my head, but it was still very useful in my heart.

He himself understands that in fact, he has hundreds of years of knowledge, the vision of future generations, and more importantly, the golden finger can know the reality of the enemy. As soon as these aspects are added up, there will be things that are admired by these ancient capable military generals. If you can have these aspects, I believe that others will not do worse than you.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen secretly told himself in his heart, don't be proud, don't get carried away, this thing is nothing great. There is still a lot to do, and you have to keep working hard!

"Zhongqing's efforts and credits, I see them all." Emperor Chongzhen said to them with a smile.

Then, he began to reward the meritorious officers this time. Of course, as for the rewards of the soldiers below, this is not a matter at the level of the emperor of him.

The generals of all walks of life, who are already the general soldiers, have added the title of left governor or right governor, and if they want to make meritorious contributions, they will be knighted.

Instead of the chief soldier, such as Wu Sangui, he was promoted to the chief officer as he wished.

As for Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian, they naturally also have rewards, and their titles are Prince Shaobao or Prince Taibao;

Of course, it is welcome, and in the lobby, everyone has a smile on their faces.

This made Ma Xianglin, who came all the way, basically only had to hurry, couldn't help but be very envious. It's also bad luck to say it, not to mention that he didn't catch up with the war, and even the thieves rarely ran away to Xichuan, so he was caught less on the way.

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw Emperor Chongzhen looking at him with a smile and asking, "Ma Qing, I don't know how General Qin's health is?" ”

Speaking of which, by the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Qin Liangyu was already sixty-five years old, so Emperor Chongzhen asked this question.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly mentioned this famous female general of the Ming Dynasty, and the others in the hall immediately quieted down, showing respect, and turned their heads to look at Ma Xianglin.

Seriously, in all dynasties, how many dynasties can have such generals. has fought for the country all her life, and more importantly, her brothers and daughters-in-law have died fighting for the country.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a legend of the Yang general, and in the Ming Dynasty, there was also a white pole army!

When Ma Xianglin heard the emperor's question, he immediately looked respectful, and hurriedly replied: "Mother is in good health, and when the end of the day is about to leave, I can't wait to personally lead the army and fight for the thieves for Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, nodded and said, "That's it, it's very good, I'm relieved!" ”

Speaking of this, after he paused, he suddenly became a little more serious and said: "The rebellion in Amizhou in Yunnan has not subsided until now. I am still worried about the ability of the Duke of Qianguo. The rebellion continues, and the people are still suffering. However, most of the troops I led were northerners, and if I went south to quell the turmoil, it would be difficult for me to adapt to the climate in Yunnan, and I was afraid that it would cause large-scale non-combat attrition, which I did not want to see. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xianglin suddenly felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked for battle: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little relieved in his heart, he was worthy of being the son taught by Qin Liangyu, who could share the worries of the country.

Thinking so, he nodded and said, "I also think so, the White Pole Army will go south to quell the chaos, and there will not be so many restrictions. In addition, since General Qin also wants to contribute to the country, I will make a special order to order General Qin to also go south together, serve as the public counselor of Qianguo, command in the center, and strive to quell the rebellion in Amizhou as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of this, he added: "The Duke of Qianguo is still young, and the old general Qin has rich experience, and this old and young cooperate with each other, I believe that they should be able to make contributions as soon as possible." In addition, I once again gave the old general Qin the right to play secretly. ”

Generally speaking, it is the military generals who fight and the civilian commands.

In the original history, Qin Liangyu was also valued by Emperor Chongzhen, but she led the troops to fight, and she still had to be under the jurisdiction of the governor of Sichuan, and even the patrol.

But now, Emperor Chongzhen gave a decree to let Qin Liangyu help the Duke of Qianguo, the meaning is very clear, that is, the Duke of Qianguo is too young and has too little experience in warfare, Qin Liangyu has rich experience, and the actual command of the battle will be commanded by Qin Liangyu.

Although the situation in Yunnan is special, although the nominal commander is still the Duke of Qianguo, it can still be seen in this will that Emperor Chongzhen has much trust in Qin Liangyu.

Therefore, after hearing this, Ma Xianglin couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked his mother and promised to put down the Yunnan rebellion as soon as possible.

This appointment, the civil officials present, whether it is Chen Qiyu or Zheng Chongjian, did not object, because that person is Qin Liangyu, the only female general of the Ming Dynasty, loyal and martyrdom, famous in the country!

As for the other generals, they were also a little moved in their hearts. If nothing else, the emperor can take into account that their northerners will go south, and there will be problems of adaptation to the water and soil.

To tell the truth, they are all a group of martial artists, they are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of the incomprehensible water and soil. This will not divide people, even if it is the generals of the general army, they may not adapt to the soil. If you die of illness like that, it's too wretched!

If there is a choice, for the northerners, of course, they are not willing to go to those rainforest areas, thinking about so many mosquitoes, rats and ants, they will be afraid.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished talking about this matter, he turned his head to look at Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, and his face became a little serious: "I learned the news that the rebel general Chai Shihua is still in the Urad Department, and has gone to other tribes in the west to ask for help, and the situation in Gansu will still be very grim for a period of time in the future." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but be stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately went out and said: "After Weichen returns to Shaanxi, he will immediately start the defense of the west, and he will not let the conspiracy of the Urad Department succeed." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and said with a serious expression: "I am going back to Beijing with the three major battalions, and I am still a little worried about this northwest matter." I wonder if Zheng Qing has a good idea? ”

Zheng Chongjian thought that he did not have the ability of Emperor Chongzhen to annihilate the tribes on the grassland. In this way, it is a bit passive.

If you defend passively, you don't know when the Urat and other enemies will attack?

Take the initiative, in the vast grassland, if the Urad Department hears the news and flees, it will only be a dry stare. In addition, he does not have so many cavalry troops, and if the infantry army goes out of the jam, he will be even more dumbfounded. If only the cavalry led by the emperor could stay!

Of course, Zheng Chongjian also knew that it was impossible to let the emperor leave the cavalry.

Not to mention the hussar battalion, it is a deterrent force that sits in the capital division, and it is mainly used to deal with the Jianjiao who may enter the customs again. In addition, the extra war horses, as the emperor had already said before, were to be prepared for Governor Lu to rebuild Dongjiang Town. That is also to deal with the construction of prisoners, which is indispensable.

Thinking about it, Zheng Chongjian really didn't have a good way, but since the emperor asked, he had no choice but to reply: "After Weichen goes back, he will inspect the Great Wall, increase the border fortress warning, and deploy military forces around it, once the Tartars are found to invade, they will react as soon as possible, and never let the Tartars have the opportunity to wreak havoc in the pass!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and he recognized this ordinary strategy. Then, he frowned again and said: "Chai Shihua, a traitor, must not let him go unpunished, and has been colluding with the enemies of the Ming Dynasty to harm the Ming Dynasty." I will kill this person! ”

Rebel generals collude with foreign enemies, this kind of thing is unforgivable for any emperor. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen said this, and there was no surprise to these people present.

However, in this way, the requirements for Zheng Chongjian are even higher.

He thought about it for a while, and then said with a little worry: "Your Majesty, there are not many cavalry under Weichen, and he can't take the initiative to fight, even if he finds out the location of this traitor, I'm afraid he will have more than enough strength but not enough strength." Weichen can only wait for the rabbit, concentrate his forces, and try to annihilate the rebel generals in the pass when they collude with foreign enemies to invade! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was actually waiting for him to say this, and when he heard this, after pretending to think about it, he turned his head to look at Wu Sangui, who had just been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the reinforcement army, and said: "Wu Qing's department will be temporarily under Zheng Qing's jurisdiction, and I will pacify this Urad department as soon as possible, and capture the rebel general Chai Shihua as soon as possible, can Qing be confident?" ”

Wu Sangui hadn't thought that this matter in the northwest would still have his share.

Originally, he thought that he would be transferred to the expedition this time, and he made meritorious contributions and was promoted, and after he went back, he could let his former colleagues see that he did not rely on family relations this time.

However, when the emperor said this, he was obviously decisive, and this was not something that he, Wu Sangui, could refuse.

Speaking of which, there is indeed a need for cavalry here, but the three battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor are the emperor's own army, so it is naturally impossible to stay in the field. And his Wu Sangui army, which itself came from the border army, is temporarily transferred to Shaanxi, which is also reasonable.

So, Wu Sangui immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order and never live up to His Majesty's hopes!" ”

And when he said this, he also had faith. In the past, he had seen the combat power of the Tumut Division, and to be honest, he really looked down on it. Just these Mongol Tatars, compared to Jianyu, are basically the sky and the ground in terms of combat power.

If Wu Sangui was asked to fight Jianyu, he might not be sure, but now that he is going to fight these Mongolian Tatars, he is completely sure that he can make another great contribution.

"Good!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard his answer, he praised him, raised his voice, and said solemnly: "Those who commit great wisdom will be punished even if they are far away." The same is true for those who dare to betray the Great Ming, no matter where he flees to or who he is sheltered by, I want him to die. The lofty ambitions of Hou Chen Tang in Guannei back then, in my Ming Dynasty, will be implemented by Qing first! ”

Wu Sangui was enthusiastic when he heard this, and immediately clenched his fists and said again: "The last general will definitely present the head of the rebel general Chai Shihua to His Majesty!" ”

Chen Qiyu, who had been silent on the side, couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart when he looked at this scene. With just a few words, the emperor tied the young general soldier to death in the northwest.

But this should also be his glory, in front of the emperor, there is such an opportunity, how many general soldiers can have it? He really wants to do it one day, at least in the history books of the Northwest, but there is a stroke of his Wu Sangui!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wu Sangui, suddenly showed a smile, and said to him: "It is unexpected that the Guan Ning army will continue to stay in the northwest to contribute to the country this time. Wu Qing will explain the situation to the soldiers in a while, and I will allow you to write a letter to inform your family of the situation, and I will help you take it to Shanhaiguan when I go back. ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was even more overjoyed, and at the same time he was moved in his heart, the emperor was really careful, and he even thought of this.

Of course he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen did this to use their mouths to pass on all kinds of wise and martial things that the emperor had done since his imperial expedition back to Guanning to deter possible dissent.

After Wu Sangui returned to the queue, he saw Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong and others who were about the same age, and they were all envious, and they couldn't help but be even happier in their hearts.
