Chapter 228: Commendation
"Because of the cooperation with the enemy, he was coerced by Jianyu to help Bolo escape from Fujing?" Zhu Linmiao listened to Shi Lin's narration, frowned and said angrily, "This guy is really bold, dare to do this?!" ”
Shi Lin arched his hand and continued: "In order to conceal his bad deeds, he actually plotted for the captive and asked him to threaten to release Emperor Hongguang and King Lu to threaten the queen mother. ”
The emperor is young, if Hongguang or King Lu return to the dynasty, how can the Taizheng throne be stable, and the Empress Dowager Zeng will not want these two to return. Zhu Lin said in his heart, this Lin Xuji really came up with a poisonous plan, but it was dedicated to Jianyu!
The Empress Dowager then agreed to make peace with Bolo and let him go north. Unexpectedly, the courtiers all opposed the boycott, and the crowd was excited. Lin Xiangji used trickery again, and taught the Empress Dowager Zeng to claim that the Jianyu was broken by Jiang Zhengxi, and surrendered to beggars. Jiang Zhengxi led his troops to southern Fujian to collect the corpses of refugees as beheadings. ”
Zhu Linmiao was almost angry, "So Jiang Zhengxi is not in Yanping at all?" Fortunately, the thief was in chaos that day, otherwise our army would have rushed into the enemy's position to 'save him'. A guy who has more than enough success and more than enough failure! ”
Shi Lin continued: "After that, the court decided that the thief had been broken, and the crown was celebrated. The Empress Dowager was forced to allocate rations to the Yanping army, and on the other hand, Lin Xuji wrote a Boluo messenger to Fujian in the name of the surrendered envoy, who wanted to communicate with the thieves in Zhejiang, Nanzhili and other places, so that they could send troops to aid the besieged Fujian army. ”
The more Zhu Linmiao listened, the more angry he became, he was desperately carrying his head and Jianyu on the front line, these moths were digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the rear, if it weren't for his rapid march back to Yanping half a month ago, and found that there was something strange in the Boluo camp, at this time Azig tens of thousands of horses and horses were probably taking Shanguan and were wreaking havoc in Jiangxi.
He couldn't help but think that he had been fighting with Jianyu in Fujing for a long time, and except for the 6,000 men of Lu Chang and Song Jincheng, there were hardly any Ming troops to come to support. In other words, in history, Bolo almost did not meet resistance in Fujian, and he occupied a province with a whip and a horse!
No wonder Chongzhen would say the words "all the ministers are the ministers of the dead country" before he died, he can be regarded as understanding what kind of goods the Ming Dynasty is a military general of the Manchu Dynasty!
Even people at the pinnacle of power, Empress Dowager Zeng and King Tang, would ignore the safety of Daming Sheji because of their own selfishness. One party fights against different parties and thinks about usurping power without permission, and the other secretly conspires with enemies to protect his son's throne, so nonsense, why worry about the country's immortality?
Zhu Linmiao sighed in his heart, the reason why the Ming behemoth could fall at the feet of more than 10,000 captives was because his internal rot was already rotten to the roots. If you don't show the determination to cut the flesh and scrape the bones to cure the poison, you have great ability, and you can't stand someone behind the knife.
"My lord, Grandpa Bai and his entourage are five miles outside the camp." Suddenly, a pro-soldier entered the account, "saying that he came with a holy decree." ”
"Father-in-law Bai? Bai Daqi? Although Zhu Linmiao was angry, he still had to accept the order, he straightened his military uniform, and instructed Shi Lindao, "Or the court will issue a decree to reward the victory, and let all the generals come to listen to the order." ”
"Yes!"
After a while, Zhu Linmiao led the crowd out of the camp, and it had become a habit for the officers of the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Battalion to line up on weekdays, and at this time there were neat rows standing behind him, straight like a phalanx.
When Bai Daqi saw King Chen and his party from a distance, he smiled at each other, and when he got close, he immediately took out the holy decree and unfolded it.
The generals knelt down and obeyed the order.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Since I succeeded to the throne, the east disaster is pervasive, the people of Fujing are in danger, and the world is shaken......
"King Chen's talent in civil and military strategy, dedicated to the war, led the brave army under his command, and worked hard......
"This move to help the chaos and survey the country is a great achievement! I have nothing to be commended, I am grateful for my success, I am grateful for my triumph, and I declare the world......
"Led by King Chen, and the meritorious commander Ke Ri entered the Tianxing Mansion, and I set up a banquet in the Fengtian Palace......
"Since Jiangnan was initially decided, the war was interrupted for a while, and I wanted to save King Chen in Tianxing Mansion, and assist the saint day and night, so as to make the society permanent and solid. Chin this. ”
When all the generals heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they held a banquet in the Heavenly Palace to celebrate the great victory, and the holy decree stated that the meritorious generals would go in person, what a glory this is!
You must know that in the first battle of Shanguan, almost everyone in the Ming army won a lot of military merits, let alone officers. Looking at this meaning, almost everyone can go to Fengtian Temple to show their faces.
And Zhu Linmiao was a little surprised by the last few sentences of the holy decree, according to what he said, it seemed that he wanted to stay in Tianxing Mansion, and he also mentioned the word "auxiliary saint", what is the purpose of this?
When he took the yellow brocade from Bai Daqi's hand and glanced at it, he found that it was actually the middle order.
The issuance of the Ming Dynasty's holy decree needs to be drafted by the cabinet, and the edict issued directly by the emperor before the cabinet is issued, which can only be regarded as the emperor's private letter.
Zhu Linmiao secretly said in her heart, it seems that this holy decree is the intention of the Empress Dowager Zeng, why didn't she go through the cabinet? He immediately thought that in recognition of the tens of thousands of military exploits, he did not send officials from the Ministry of Rites, but asked Bai Daqi and a eunuch to announce the decree, which also showed that this was a "private letter" from the Queen Mother.
"Your Royal Highness King Chen, the slave maid first congratulates you on your successive victories." After the decree was completed, Bai Daqi represented his personal identity, and his attitude became more and more respectful, "The slave has been looking for you since Yanping, and chased all the way to Shanguan, and this bone is about to fall apart." As a result, I didn't expect you to win such a big battle here.
"According to the slave maid, there will soon be a will to reward you again."
It seems that the news of the victory in Shanguan has not yet been sent to Tianxing Mansion, Zhu Linmiao nodded, this decree should be to commend the Battle of Yanping.
A group of officers returned to the barracks with Zhu Linmiao and Bai Daqi.
After the generals beside him dispersed a little, Bai Daqi came to Zhu Linmiao's side and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother was blinded by traitors, and she did not investigate the tricks of the Eastern Prisoners, and she was almost succeeded by the thieves.
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness has extraordinary strategy, and he has been able to break through the strong enemy and get the fortune of Dading. And now that the traitor is self-defeating, and the captives are defeated, if the court discusses the matter of the thieves and the surrender of the thieves, is it quite a great victory for me, the queen mother knows that His Royal Highness is loyal to the country's great talent, and this matter must be ...... by you"
Zhu Linmiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she understood the meaning of Empress Dowager Zeng's central purpose, it turned out that she wanted him to help Miping be forced by Lin Xiangji to return Hongguang and King Lu, and agree to "surrender" and fund the enemy's grain and grass in the court.
That's why he was asked to return to Tianxing Mansion to assist the saint, and use the power of his great victory to suppress dissatisfaction with the DPRK and China.
However, this is also more in line with Zhu Linmiao's own plan to help the Queen Mother get through this hurdle, firstly, it will help the stability of the central imperial power, and secondly, the Empress Dowager Zeng will definitely have something to reciprocate.
And returning to the power center of Tianxing Mansion, he can also more easily clean up those corrupt civil and military officials who collaborate with the enemy and slack off the war.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and smiled at Bai Daqi: "I have arranged the affairs of the camp even if I return to Tianxing Mansion." also asked Bai Gonggong to play the queen mother, Lin Xiangji will be ambushed in the near future, and everything is done by him alone. ”
Bai Daqi nodded with joy, killing Lin Xiangji, there was no proof of death, and all the bad things were pushed on him.
He immediately arched his hand and said, "The slave maid is waiting for His Highness in Tianxing Mansion." ”
