Chapter 165: Verification of War Exploits
ps: The third update, for Dr. Ye to reward another 100 yuan plus more. Dizzy, six chapters are still owed!
It has been a few days since the Battle of Panshan, and in the past few days, Chen Yue, Tang Tong, and Bai Guangen's two armies have all been stationed at the foot of Panshan, waiting for the imperial court to send people to verify the battle merits and the next reward arrangements. More than 10,000 rescued people have also been temporarily resettled nearby, waiting for follow-up arrangements. So many people must be resettled by the government to return to their hometowns, if they are allowed to go back spontaneously, so many people will cross the border, it will definitely cause a major incident!
The people were looted by the Manchu Tartars, and the belongings of the family were lost, but fortunately, the Mantars fled in a hurry after being repulsed, and a large number of materials were left behind, Chen Yue and Tang Bai were naturally not interested in these pots and pans and other civilian materials, as for the silver robbed by the Manchu Tartars, they were transported to the outside of the customs first, and they did not seize the slightest, but fortunately, some food was seized, and the people also carried some rations around them, plus they could dig some wild vegetables all over the mountains, and the people would not be hungry.
After eight or nine days of continuous marching, another big battle was fought, the troops urgently needed to rest, and the wounded soldiers also needed medical treatment, Chen Yue ordered to slow down the intensity of training, only training for one hour a day, and the rest of the time the soldiers recuperated. After a big battle, and a big battle with thousands of Manchu Tartar cavalry, the Xishan Army was thoroughly tempered, and the soldiers gradually matured, such a big battle was worth months of training.
Record the merits of the war, distribute rewards, summarize after the war, all the work is carried out in an orderly manner, officers at all levels perform their duties, military law is managed by Shan Minglei, training is assisted by Yang Zhengping, Iron Lion and Chen Ping, Chen Mo, Li Yi, etc., logistics has Li Xiong, Lu Sanyou, Zhang Chengkai, etc., Chen Yue, the supreme commander, does not need to ask about everything, and he is very good and chic, and every day he either takes a few guards to hunt in the mountains, or drinks and brags with Tang Tong and Bai Guangen.
Although Chen Yue is only a twenty-year-old young man, much younger than Tang Tongbai Guangen, Tang and Bai admire Chen Yue's ability, and Chen Yue generously gave up a hundred heads, Tang Bai and the two were even more moved, and often invited Chen Yue to feast together, and the three of them were commensurate with brothers.
After all, Chen Yue has just led the army for only a few months, and he knows that he lacks military knowledge and experience, so he often asks the two of them for advice on leading the troops to set up the formation, and Tang Bai and the two of them do not hide their personal generous explanations, both of them are veterans, although they have not won many battles, they are very experienced, which makes Chen Yue very rewarding.
"You train so hard every day, how can the soldiers eat?" Tang Bai and the others were also very curious about Chen Yue's Xishan Army, and often came to observe the training of the Xishan Army.
"They are all miners, and they are used to doing heavy work in the mines every day, and this training is not worth mentioning to them." Chen Yue said indifferently.
"No wonder the Xishan Army can win the battle, and the soldiers recruited are much stronger than those from military households." Tang Tong exclaimed.
The days passed leisurely for a few days, until on this day, someone suddenly came from Beijing and informed Chen Yue of some news, which made Chen Yue furious.
"What a shameless Zhou Yanru, he is just afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he even attacked Lao Tzu!" Chen Yue said angrily.
"Commander Wu asked me to tell Lord Chen, so that the adults have points in their hearts, and the people who check the merits and check the head of the imperial court are estimated to be coming tomorrow, and Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, is among them, and Commander Wu asked me to tell Lord Chen, you must be careful of Luo's cultivation!" The person who came was Wu Mengming's confidant, and he specially came to tell Chen Yuejing about his movements.
"Hmph, Luo Yangxing colluded with Zhou Yanru to deceive the court and lie about his military exploits, I'm afraid he won't be proud for a few days. The time has come for you to bring these materials back to the capital, hand them over to Commander Wu, and move them to Luo Yangxing and be promoted from Commander Wu to the commander of the Jinyi Guard! Chen Yue said and took out a thick stack of paper and handed it to the person who came, which recorded what he had seen and heard in Tongzhou during these days, including Zhou Yanru's wanton collection of righteous sons and lying about his military exploits, if there was no cooperation from Jinyiwei, how could Zhou Yanru dare to do this?
Chen Yue knew that Chongzhen hated others to deceive him the most, and if he knew Luo Yang's behavior, he would definitely decisively take down the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Sure enough, the next morning, a group of envoys from the imperial court came to Panshan and came to check the battle achievements. Led by Wang Jiayan, the squire of the military department, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial superintendent, were shocked. Such a huge lineup shows that Chongzhen attaches great importance to this battle!
The group rested for a while, and left to start the verification of the battle merits, Wang Jiayan's face was serious, and his joy and anger were invisible, and he was a high-ranking official in the ministry, so there was no need to resign himself to Chen Yue, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, etc. Wang Chengen was full of smiles, and praised Chen Yue again and again, praising him for his great achievements and living up to the emperor's trust. For this celebrity around Chongzhen, the only person who will accompany Chongzhen to hang himself in the future, although he has no bird under his crotch, Chen Yue is still very respectful, after all, there are thousands of eunuchs in the entire palace, and this is the only one who can be martyred with Chongzhen. Chen Yue complimented Wang Chengen a few words, and He Lu Tang Tong Bai Guangen and others have been mixed for a long time, Chen Yue has been very accustomed to Feng Ying's horse, and he is also very casual when he shoots it, Wang Chengen, who is directly complimentary, smiled, and when he received the silver ticket that Chen Yue secretly stuffed to him, the smile on Wang Chengen's face became even greater.
As for Luo Yangxing, Chen Yue didn't pay much attention to this enemy who had always been against him, after all, he was friendly with Wu Mengming, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and Luo Yangxing was born an opponent, and there was no possibility of easing the relationship at all.
Luo Yangxing is very kind, and his smile is not at all obvious that he is a commander of the brocade guard who can stop children crying at night, and he doesn't care about Chen Yue's rudeness, but praises Chen Yue's ability to lead the troops and make many achievements.
More than 400 true tartar heads were placed there, and there was no way to fake it, and the nuclear battle was carried out very quickly. After confirming the authenticity of the head, Wang Jiayan took people to the barracks to inquire about the soldiers' war, and sent people to inquire among the people, very dedicated and very careful to investigate. Wang Chengen didn't care so much, and after confirming that the head level was correct, he asked Chen Yue for a tent and hid in it to rest.
"Lord Chen, some time ago, the little nephew was innocent and offended the adult, and the official made amends to you on his behalf." To Chen Yue's surprise, Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to avoid others and make amends to himself. He is the commander of the dignified Jinyi Guard, how can he care about such a small person?
"What Lord Luo said, Luo Qianhu and I are just a little friction, not worth mentioning." Since Luo Yangxing lowered his posture, Chen Yue didn't care about himself, and hurriedly said. The effort to save face must always be done, and it is a big deal to stab the knife in the back!
"Don't worry, Lord Chen, you will be my brother in the future, Jinyiwei will be your backstage, and no one will dare to mess with you in the whole of Beijing!" Seeing Chen Yue going up, Luo Yangxing showed a smile on his face, secretly saying that he was just a small person, how dare he really go against himself!
Luo Yangxing knew that Chen Yue was already in the emperor's heart, which was something he couldn't stop, and he had made such a great contribution, he would definitely have to go to Beijing to report on his work, in order to prevent him from complaining and saying bad things about himself in front of Chongzhen, Luo Yangxing lowered his posture and took the initiative to make amends. Although Jin Yiwei is powerful, it is only for civil officials, and for a warlord like Chen Yue who has an army, even Luo Yangxing has a sense of powerlessness!
