Chapter 452 Rewards and punishments are clear
Before being admitted to the Jinshi Examination, Wu Weiye had been yearning for the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and he dreamed of entering the Hanlin Academy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, in the first year of Chongzhen, after being named by the emperor and assigned to the Hanlin Academy as he wished, it didn't take long for him to find that those poems and essays were not as good as him, and the ranking was not as good as his three list of jinshi, such as Niu Juming, Li Xin, Lu Daqi, Song Yingxing, Li Mengchen and others, soon emerged in front of the emperor and was constantly promoted and reused.
It was only at this time that he gradually realized that although the Hanlin Academy was extremely noble among the scholars, compared to the newly established Military Aircraft Department, it was simply a marginal yamen, and he didn't even have the opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor.
Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen did not forget him, after Li Xin returned from his mission to North Korea and soared all of a sudden, the vacated position of the scholar in the Wuying Hall was personally named by Emperor Chongzhen and transferred by him Wu Weiye.
Now the importance of the military aircraft in the Ming Dynasty is already known to everyone, and the new scholars who have broken their heads and are very important in the Hanlin Academy are all regretting it at this time, including Wu Weiye, so at this time, the emperor selected Wu Weiye from a bunch of Hanlin to enter the military aircraft department, which made Wu Weiye very excited.
However, excitement is excitement, and a few days after entering the military aircraft department, he found that his daily task is still to copy and write, and it is just an unrealistic arrogant fantasy to guide the country in front of the emperor to talk about the war, and even if the emperor gives him the opportunity to give him advice, he also knows his own catties.
It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, which he had always been proud of, were actually useless for the military affairs that the emperor had to pay attention to and deal with every day.
At the same time, looking through the old files of the Military Aircraft Department, and watching the emperor deal with military affairs every day, Wu Weiye, who was young and ambitious, and proud of his talents, quickly admired Emperor Chongzhen, who was one year younger than himself.
In just ten days after entering the military aircraft department, many of Wu Weiye's ideas have changed, in the hearts of today's new military aircraft people, the emperor's business is not something that a casual cat or dog can do, especially if you want to do a good job, it is really a genius to be wise, and the emperor in front of him, His Majesty, seems to have such a rare genius and wisdom.
That night, Wu Weiye stayed up all night and neatly transcribed three copies of the military report sent by Li Banghua, minister of military aircraft, from the front line in Shanxi.
Early the next morning, the originals were kept in the Military Aircraft Department, one was transferred to the cabinet, one was transferred to the celebrant supervisor, and one was transferred back to the Department of Communications and Envoys for filing.
With the delivery of these copies, the news that Li Banghua led the army to win a great victory in Shanxi to suppress thieves soon spread among the court and even the government and the opposition.
At the same time, the good news of heavy rain in Shanxi and Shaanxi has also spread to Beijing through more channels, and the common summer heat in Beijing in late May seems to be much cooler.
The handling of military affairs by the emperor was more quickly finalized without the procedures for the ministers of military aircraft to discuss before submitting them to the emperor.
Of course, since Li Banghua himself is the Minister of Military Aircraft, the emperor's actions are not considered to be in violation of the rules he set before, not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen's report on Li Banghua, as well as the military intelligence reports of Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Wang Guoliang and others transmitted through Li Banghua's original hand, did not change much, and their suggestions were basically accepted as ordered, and they did what they said.
Of course, Li Guoqi and Xu Guangqi, the two ministers in Beijing, have no opinions, and they will not accept the orders of the monarch abroad, which is also their consistent proposition, if the emperor in Beijing always interferes with the command of the front-line generals, it is a really dangerous thing.
Besides, these are all military affairs, and they are military affairs reported by Minister of Military Aircraft Li Banghua, and most of them are Li Banghua's opinions, and Li Guoqi and Xu Guangqi are both people who understand, so of course they will not hinder these issues.
Therefore, on the night of 20 May, Li Banghua's report and the military intelligence reports of other front-line ministers and ministers forwarded by him were delivered to the Beijing Division, and on the morning of 22 May, Emperor Chongzhen's decree was quickly sent to the Shanxi army by Wu Guoan, a thousand households in Jinyi Weibei Town, with his men and horses.
In the will given to Li Banghua and others, there are more rewards, but there are also aftermaths and punishments.
In terms of the reward for the Battle of Huangluling, Emperor Chongzhen was not stingy.
Posthumously presented Wang Shixuan, the deputy general of Shanxi Town, and Liu Guozhen, the general of Jinsuoguan in Shanxi Town, as the general and deputy general of Shanxi Pingjiao.
Posthumously awarded Wang Shixuan as "General Xuanwu", Liu Guozhen as "General Wude", and one son for each of the 100 hereditary households of Jinyiwei.
At the same time, he was promoted to Shanxi Town Guerrilla Yi Bangcai to be a general of Shanxi Town, Li Xianzhong was a guerrilla of the Chinese Army in the Baiyecheng Mining Camp, and Li Xianzhong's headquarters was still temporarily under the control of Wang Guoliang, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town.
And Wang Guoliang, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, plus the governor of the five armies, was awarded the title of "General Mingwei", and another son of Yin entered Beijing to become the fourth student of the Huangming Zhongyi Lecture Martial Arts Hall.
As for the reward for the Battle of Shimen Pass, Emperor Chongzhen posthumously recognized the promotion order of Li Banghua, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and promoted all the outstanding officials such as Li Bei, Chen Tan, Lu Yuanding, Dong Xueli, and Lu Xiangguan by one to two levels.
Among them, the general Li Bei was directly transferred by Emperor Chongzhen to the deputy commander of the new Zhenxi Battalion under Zhang Zongheng, and ordered him to lead the musketeers of the mine battalion to rush to Shilou to take up his post, and after his arrival, he was transferred to Hong Chengchou's control.
This, of course, was a decision made by Emperor Chongzhen based on the performance of the musketeers in this battle.
Hong Chengchou's musketeers were too few, especially the newly formed Zhenxi battalion, which was composed of Shanxi township soldiers and guards, and if a group of musketeers who had withstood the test of war were not incorporated as soon as possible, I am afraid that they would not be able to stop the thieves in the southern section of Luliang Mountain from breaking through to the west.
In addition to the rewards of these people, Emperor Chongzhen did not show mercy to Liu Lingyu, the governor of Puzhou, who was impeached by Hong Chengchou, and specially issued a decree to Li Banghua and Hong Chengchou, ordering the two to behead Liu Lingyu, the governor of Puzhou, on the spot, confiscate the family property, and confiscate the family.
For such a person, now this Emperor Chongzhen is the most bitter hate, even if the military discipline of the imperial court is not good, when it comes to the place controlled by the imperial court, as a local official appointed by the imperial court, your treasury is empty, and you don't give supplies, you actually close the door and guard against the officials and soldiers of the imperial court like a thief, how can you let these officials and soldiers fight, and still have the heart to keep your side safe? !
At the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, there were many such phenomena, and the magistrates of the state capital even took the initiative to give the thieves grain and grass, begging them to wander elsewhere, and for the officials and soldiers who came to suppress the thieves, they were cold and embarrassed, making things difficult in every way, thinking that this was a matter of the imperial court and had nothing to do with them, and they were also worried that the supply of the officials and soldiers would cause the thieves to retaliate.
The military discipline of the official army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was indeed bad, but if the magistrate did this, it would only backfire and make it worse, and the worse it would be.
This is also the reason why many officers and soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty, especially those who fought in guest places, often mutinied suddenly.
The reason for this problem is the poison caused by the nobles and the lowly, and when such a thing happens, the civil officials are often transferred to the office, and they are rarely severely punished, after all, they do not act under the guise of protecting the territory and the people, although the emperor is angry in his heart, but it is not easy to attack.
But now this Emperor Chongzhen, he doesn't have time to investigate the root cause behind this, and he doesn't want to make any sense, since there are such signs now, then he must use thunderous means to deter him, kill one by one, and try to make such things happen less often.
Especially this Liu Lingyu, in history, Cao Wenzhao died in battle when he was suppressing thieves in Shanxi, and he had a lot to do with him, as a magistrate, not only did not cooperate, but also constrained the guest army led by Cao Wenzhao, who was the chief military officer of Lintao at the time, such a person is now emerging again, and entering the field of vision of Emperor Chongzhen, it is definitely dead or alive, otherwise how to achieve clear rewards and punishments? !
As for Zhang Guoxing, the general soldier of Shaanxi who was originally missing, he has now learned the exact news from Liu Guoneng's mouth, and was betrayed by his generals, and then surrendered and killed.
Since the people are all dead, and they were killed by the head of the thief army, there is nothing to worry about, except for the will, let Li Banghua inform all the generals and colonels above the garrison level on the front line of Shanxi's suppression of thieves, so as to set an example, there is no other arrangement to be made.
After all, a dignified chief military officer of the imperial court, after being captured by the thief army, greedy for life and afraid of death, wanted to surrender but could not get it, and was humiliated by the leaders of the thief army, and was finally killed.
