Chapter 548: Good news to Nanjing
Chongzhen is not confused, although Fang Mingxia and Han Zanzhou did not mention it, but combined with the battle report in Wuhu some time ago Chen Jianghe's serious injury, Chongzhen knew that Chen Yue's arrest of Li Guoying was not as simple as snatching credit, most likely to avenge Chen Jianghe.
However, from the point of view of the emperor and the imperial court, this kind of private revenge cannot be promoted. After all, Li Guoying is also a person who has made great contributions, if there is no Li Guoying, it will be very difficult to destroy the 20,000 Eight Banners of Azig. People have made great achievements and arrested and killed them instead of rewarding them, what does this make the other green battalion generals who surrendered?
And then for the reason of checks and balances, if Chen Yue really killed Li Guoying and annexed the Green Battalion, the Pingnan Army would dominate the family from then on, and there would be no other army to check and balance, which Chongzhen did not want to see.
Therefore, after listening to Fang Mingxia's story, Chongzhen decisively wrote down a hand call and ordered Han Zanzhou to send people to Wuhu as soon as possible to stop Chen Yue from killing people and bring Li Guoying to Nanjing.
Whether Li Guoying should be killed or not, there should be a decision made by the imperial court.
After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Han Zanzhou quickly sent his henchman Dongchang to Wuhu with Chongzhen's hand. Fang Mingxia begged Han Zanzhou to go to Wuhu in person to deliver the decree, but Han Zanzhou had to agree.
"Gong Chang, we can't count it like this, we should unite with the ministers of the court and impeach Chen Yue."
Before leaving, Fang Mingxia proposed to Han Zanzhou.
Han Zanzhou shook his head: "You go and do things, the court doesn't need you to take care of it." ”
Han Zanzhou, who has been by Chongzhen's side, knows Chongzhen's mind very well, although he is suspicious, in general, Chongzhen still trusts Chen Yue very much. And now under the command of Chen Yue, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has wiped out the two southern invasion armies, and it is the time when the prestige and reputation have reached its peak.
Those imperial historians don't kill either, at this time, impeach a hero who has made a contribution to protecting the country, what do the people of the world think, and what does Chongzhen think? Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?
What's more, Chen Yue's official report has not yet reached Nanjing, and everyone still doesn't know the reason for arresting Li Guoying.
After Han Zanzhou and Fang Mingxia withdrew, Chongzhen was a little anxious. The successive victories made him extremely excited, but this incident made Chongzhen a little uneasy.
Because Chongzhen knew that Chen Yue had always been accustomed to doing what he was used to, and many things were done before informing him of the emperor. In addition, Chongzhen knew that Chen Yue and Chen Jianghe had a deep father-son relationship, and he was a little worried that Chen Yue would disobey his holy decree and kill Li Guoying for revenge.
Chongzhen, who is familiar with Chen Yue's character, knows that Chen Yue has done many things.
While worried, he was anxiously waiting for news from Wuhu, and Chen Yue's report should also arrive.
The next day, the Wuhu newspaper arrived in Nanjing. Early in the morning, after the public read out the victory document, the court was jubilant, this is the official victory document of the Wuhu side, detailing the entire process of the war and the results.
And the ministers heard a name from the report documents, and that was Li Guoying. The good news mentions that Fang Mingxia and Li Guoying designed to sink the Azig retreating fleet, and also mentions the battle of the Eight Banners of Li Guoying's Ministry and Tan Tai's Army, killing 5,000 Eight Banners.
On Chongzhen's side, Han Zan's face was surprised, Chen Yue truthfully reported the credit to Li Guoying, where is there any move to grab the credit? Fortunately, he did not collude with Yushi to impeach Chen Yue, otherwise he would have been a slap in the mouth.
Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also surprised, he didn't expect the result to be like this.
In the early dynasty, the report was sent to Nanjing, and Chongzhen happily ordered it to be read on the spot, but he didn't expect Chen Yue to truthfully report Li Guoying's merits.
In that case, why did you arrest Li Guoying? Alas, in the end, he is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how to be flexible.
At this time, Chongzhen could guess Chen Yue's psychology, I arrested Li Guoying to avenge my father, and Lao Tzu disdained to snatch his credit!
In this way, I am afraid that my hand call may not be able to make Chen Yue let Li Guoying go, and maybe there will be another uproar in the court soon.
At this moment, Chongzhen's heart was full of worries.
"Li Guoying is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, first won the trust of the Manchu chief Azig, and then seized the opportunity to overthrow the 15,000 army of Azig, which can be described as a brave and brave man, and I have another good general in the Ming Dynasty!"
Some ministers shook their heads and said.
"Li Guoying is good, but if there is no overall plan of Fang Mingxia, the war will not be so smooth, if you want me to say, the first merit of the battle of Wuhu should be Fang Mingxia."
Another minister said.
Above the court, the ministers were discussing excitedly, full of praise for Fang Mingxia and Li Guoying.
"What is the first merit is Fang Mingxia, if it weren't for the command of Pingnanhou, first the cavalry defeated the Qing army that attacked Wuhu, and then killed the Qing army with a water division, and then sent his subordinates to persuade Hao Shaoqi's thieves to return to Shun and occupy Jiujiang, Li Guoying may not choose to return to the imperial court under the general pressure. This first gong is naturally Pingnanhou's. ”
Secondary auxiliary road Zhenfei Road.
"What Lu Ge said is that if there was no Pingnanhou, the war would not have gone so smoothly, and the first credit was of course Pingnanhou's." Everyone else is in line with the Tao.
First, Yangzhou alone annihilated Duoduo's 100,000 Qing troops, and then returned to Nanjing to defeat the siege of Boluo, and then commanded a great victory in Wuhu. Chen Yue's credit is vividly remembered by everyone, and no one dares to deny it.
However, the battle of Wuhu was too complicated, with the return of Li Guoying and other green battalion generals, as well as the assistance of Hao Shaoqi's thieves. Now Hao Shaoqi occupies Jiujiang Wuchang, and it has not yet been determined whether to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. In the south of the Yangtze River, Ao Bai and Wu Sangui were still running around with 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers, and although the Battle of Wuhu was a big victory, the finishing work was still complicated.
It is necessary to reward those who have made meritorious contributions, to deploy to encircle and suppress the Qing army of Aobai and Wu Sangui, and to discuss how to face Hao Shaoqi's troops, whether to send troops to kill them, or accept them to return to the imperial court, and how to settle them after acceptance?
These things will have to be busy with the cabinet and important ministers for a while.
In the city of Nanjing, with the arrival of the Wuhu messenger, the news of the great victory has come, and the whole city is jubilant.
When I heard the news that the Qing army on the two routes was moving south, countless Ming troops surrendered one after another, and dozens of cities were lost, how panicked Nanjing was at that time.
When Bo Luo led the partial division to break through Huang Degong's blockade and waved his army across the Yangtze River to the city, how desperate the people of Nanjing were.
Fortunately, with the Marquis of Pingnan, in a snap of his fingers, the Qing army on both roads was completely wiped out, Nanjing had turned from danger to safety, and the people were so excited.
The lights in the city of Nanjing, the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city, and the sound of silk and bamboo on the Qinhuai River was celebrating the victory of the Ming army. But I didn't know that another storm was coming.
