Chapter 693: Two Divine Decrees
Under the "care" of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, the half-crippled Shenji Battalion temporarily moved out of its camp and gave it to the Qiong Navy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The reason why info chose the Shenji Camp instead of its Chihe Camp or Zhenwu Camp is that Xu Hongji has his own careful thoughts.
Because the War Bureau is subordinate to the direct jurisdiction of the town guard eunuchs, the Shenji Battalion has always been closer to the town guard eunuchs, and relatively speaking, the relationship with Wei Guogong, who is the garrison of Nanjing, is more estranged. For the generals of the Shenji Battalion, it is much more convenient to have a good relationship with the town guards and eunuchs, and the allocation and maintenance of firearms. Xu Hongji usually hinders the face of the eunuchs, and he will not attack if he is dissatisfied, but now that he has caught the opportunity, Chang Kun is unlucky, and the Shenji Battalion, as an "accomplice", will definitely be beaten and beaten. Of course, Xu Hongji knows this thought, and others have no way of knowing.
Regardless of the actual combat effectiveness, the Shenji Battalion has always been the pride of the heavens in the Beijing camp, with the most sophisticated firearms in the Ming Dynasty, and the highest status among the battalions, how could he have suffered such humiliation. If it is changed to other battalion heads, the Shenji Battalion will definitely not give face, even if Wei Guogong comes forward in person, he will have to theorize and ask Wei Guogong for an explanation. But now in the face of the Qiong Navy, which also uses firearms but can crush itself, the Shenji Battalion did not dare to say a word from top to bottom, and obediently rolled up the covers and moved out of the camp.
After being stationed, the Qiong navy was busy placing the wounded and searching for Langzhong, although busy, it was also in order, and the battalions took this opportunity to rest and recuperate.
On the third day after entering the city, someone found the camp, and it turned out to be a eunuch who was carrying a decree.
Sima De and the others thought that the will of the reward had come down, so they happily set up the incense case and opened the middle door of the camp to prepare to receive the order. But the eunuch probed his brain and said, "Zhu Dadian can be in the army?" ”
It turned out that this was a holy decree that had already arrived in Nanjing, because after Zhu Dadian's defeat, he was taken in by Xia Nan and had been in a state of disconnection, and this eunuch had not been able to find the object of the decree, and he did not dare to return to the palace until the task was completed, so he had been staying in Nanjing. When the Qiong Navy entered the city, he heard that Zhu Dadian and the defeated soldiers were in the Qiong Navy, so they came to the door.
Zhu Dadian was exhausted after the defeat in Hezhou, and was in a coma for several days and nights, and then witnessed the "enemies" Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong being defeated by the Qiong Navy, and his mood was very good, and his physical condition gradually improved. Now when he heard that the decree had arrived, he hurried to him and bowed down to receive it.
The eunuch who delivered the decree was relieved to see the main lord, as long as he finished reading the content of the decree, he could return to Beijing. He opened the scroll and hurriedly read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor and the emperor said: The right attendant of the military department, the governor Cao Yun and the commander of the military affairs Fengyang and other places are also in charge of the river Zhu Dadian is not effective in leveling the thieves, and he has lost the state and county, causing the thieves to Lianke and the state and other places, and they have entered the south of the Yangtze River, and the crime is unforgivable. He is now dismissed from his official position, and his family is taken to serve the public service, so as to set an example. ”
Zhu Dadian's heart sank into the bottomless abyss. He thought that he would be punished, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable, and he would just be dismissed, and he would even raid his family and serve the public! Is it because he is extremely guilty or is the court lacking this bit of money to raise the army?
After trembling and receiving the holy decree, Zhu Dadian forcibly said "The minister receives the decree", and after the eunuch who delivered the decree left, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
Sima De and the others next to him hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Xia Nan, who rushed to hear the news, comforted him when he saw this: "Lord Zhu, if you want to open a point, isn't it just to dismiss the official, and there is still a chance to recover." Besides, this holy decree was issued before we won the battle, and now the situation is different, maybe the emperor may not be able to withdraw his fate. ”
Zhu Dadian's mouth was full of bitterness and he couldn't speak. It is true that the Joan Navy won the battle, but what does this have to do with him, and the credit will not be counted on his head. What the emperor said was Chrysostom, and the holy decree would not be easily changed after it was issued, and it was estimated that this was to sprinkle all the grievances of the fall of the central capital and the uncontrollable county of Liukoulenke on his head, and he could only consider himself unlucky.
After appeasing Zhu Dadian, another eunuch found the camp to deliver the decree, clearly designating Xia Nan to receive the decree.
Xia Nan said "Huh", two holy decrees in succession, what day is today? Sima De and the others hurriedly urged him to accept the order: "General, this time it should be the will of the reward." ”
Xia Nan received a holy decree and knew the process, and besides, the incense cases were ready-made, so he pricked up his ears and listened while posing for the decree.
The content of the holy decree is much longer than the previous one, and there are a lot of verbosities, and the ancient text background of Xia Nan is okay, and I heard that he praised himself for winning the battle and winning glory for the court. When it came to the specific content of the reward, there was no follow-up after hearing that "Yin Feng Yizi is the hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei".
Wait for the eunuch to read, "...... Chin this. In the summer, the south is connected. At that time, Xia Nan was sure that this was all the rewards, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "That's all the reward of the imperial court? Yin Feng has a son who is hereditary for Jinyiwei, what a big reward! Go back and tell the Emperor that I thank my unborn son for his old man's reward!" ”
The eunuch who delivered the decree was dumbfounded. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, whether it is good news or bad news, all the courtiers who receive the decree are not respectful, and it is not the first time for him to pass the decree, and he has never seen such a fierce attitude towards receiving the decree, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.
Sima De and the others hurriedly grabbed Xia Nan and persuaded: "The general is angry, and if there is something to talk about, talk slowly." Then he took the decree for him and sent the eunuch away.
After the eunuch left, Xia Nan was still angry, pointed to the north and said: "Chongzhen treats the heroes like this, it will only make the courtiers deviate from morality, this is the king of a dead country!" ”
Sima De said cautiously: "The general should be careful that the wall has ears, or don't call the saint by his name, right?" Anyway, the general has a high mind and lofty ambitions, and he will not care about this reward from the imperial court. ”
"How about calling him by his first name?" Xia Nan disagreed, "It's one thing to care about the reward, it's another thing how he does it." Since Chongzhen is so slammed, let others fight the next battle, and my Qiong Navy will never send a single soldier. ”
Chongzhen naturally didn't know that his holy decree had provoked Xia Nan. Shortly after the Divine Decree arrived in Nanjing, the situation of the Kou suppression changed again.
Although the Gao and Zhang coalition forces were defeated, Gao Yingxiang was captured, Zhang Xianzhong was also greatly injured, Hong Chengchou arrived in Anhui after several streams fled in anticipation, and the situation in the entire Anhui was reversed, but Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong divided their troops and returned to Shaanxi, showing his outstanding military talent, and meeting nearly 200,000 people from all walks of life to attack Fengxiang Mansion, advancing to Huangyang and Longzhou, Jingning, Tai'an, Qingshui, and Qinzhou were in a comprehensive emergency, and Shaanxi's letter for help generally flew to the capital.
Gao Yingxiang bowed his head, Li Zicheng jumped up again, pressed the gourd to float the scoop, after receiving the emergency, the military department issued several orders in a row, and Chongzhen also passed the decree one after another, ordering Hong Chengchou to return to Shaanxi. Hong Chengchou had no choice but to turn back to Shaanxi, and sent Cao Wenzhao as the vanguard, leading 6,000 soldiers and horses to go first.
