Chapter 314: Fenghou
When Old Man Liu returned to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen was constantly circling in the palace, his face full of melancholy. Since the war began so long, although countless cities have been recovered, very few Qing troops have been killed.
"Your Majesty, there is another battle report." A eunuch said carefully at this time.
"Tell me, what news is there this time?" Emperor Chongzhen had long been used to hearing all kinds of great victory, but unfortunately, these great victory had nothing meaningful except for how many cities they had recovered.
"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory." The eunuch said with a look of joy.
"It's another great victory. Have you recovered that city?" Chongzhen was not a fool. He seemed to have lost a lot of land to recover, but in fact he was following the Qing army to pick up ready-made ones.
These cities have been damaged by the Qing army ahead, and the only thing left to the Ming army is empty. They even have to spend a lot of effort to repair the city, which will cost a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's only hope was also destroyed.
"Your Majesty, this time it is a real victory. According to Liu Ge Lao, General Lin Dong led the Andong army to defeat the Qing army's general Jun Yuetuo outside Jinan City, killed more than 20,000 Qing army, and killed Yuetuo, Ma Zhan and several Qing army generals."
"What? You say it again."
Emperor Chongzhen's family could not believe their ears and said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, the Andong army killed the Qing army general Jun Yuetuo, and defeated tens of thousands of Qing army outside Jinan City." The eunuch knew that Emperor Chongzhen was quite angry for a while and did not dare to speak loudly, but just said carefully.
"Is this true? Are you sure it's not a false charge?" Emperor Chongzhen asked at the little eunuch in shock.
"Your Majesty, Master Liu is right outside the door, waiting for His Majesty to summon him. The battle report was brought by Master Liu himself, so naturally there will be no fake." The eunuch said affirmatively.
"What, Master Liu Ge is back? Hurry up, please." Chongzhen immediately cleaned up in a hurry, and then sat on the dragon throne calmly.
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen sat down, the eunuch passed Liu Yuliang in.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already looked calm, as if everything was under control.
After Liu Yuliang saw this, he handed over the battle report.
After seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen was immediately delighted. Even though he was scheming, he laughed a few times.
"Haha, okay, okay, what a Lin Dong, it's true that he is a tiger general. He takes the general's head among thousands of troops like taking a pill, and he has indeed failed my expectations for him."
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was so happy, Liu Yuliang immediately struck while it was hot and told him how Lin Dong killed Yue Tuo.
Of course, after he said this, his supervisor also played a key role. As for Yang Sichang and the others, he was severely defamed.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Yang Sichang and the eunuch Gao Qiqian were enemies and ignored Jinan, he became very angry.
This news made Emperor Chongzhen excited for a long time, and then issued an imperial edict and appointed Lin Dong as the Hou of Anyuan.
Emperor Chongzhen was happy and awarded Liu Yuliang a title, and he also received the title of Wu'an Bo, which made Old Man Liu very happy. He did not expect that he had actually obtained the title at this age, which was a great honor.
After rewarding the two, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy. After sending out Old Man Liu, he fell asleep. He had not had a good night's sleep for so long.
Now that I have received this good news, I finally let go of my mind, I am happy, and naturally feel sleepy, and I fall asleep without realizing it.
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was asleep soon, the little eunuch finally felt relieved and carefully retreated.
At this time, the ministers who heard the news had just arrived and happened to meet Old Man Liu coming out of the palace with great enthusiasm.
After inquiring, everyone found out that Lin Dong defeated the main army of the Qing army and killed Yue Tuo, the leader of the Qing army. He was shocked. However, when they wanted to see Emperor Chongzhen, they found that Emperor Chongzhen had already slept. Everyone had no choice but to retreat.
Even so, they were not idle. Now that Lin Dongli has made such a great contribution, the emperor will naturally reward him. Since the promotion of him cannot be stopped, the promotion of the position is very particular.
After all, although Anton Jun is strong, he does not belong to his own party, so he naturally cannot give him a key position.
So, these adults who were always arrogant began to get busy, and they met frequently and began to discuss countermeasures.
Old Man Liu naturally didn't know about this, so when he returned to his residence, he began to secretly calculate how to set up another town in Huai'an area.
Fortunately, when he came back, Lin Dong gave tens of thousands of taels of silver as he said before. With these silver, he believed that as long as he mediates it, it would be very likely that he would establish a new town in the south.
After analyzing the situation, Old Man Liu directly listed a list, some of which are of high status and some are unknown.
However, if anyone who knows the power of the capital sees this list, he will find that these people are all people with real power.
In the following time, Old Man Liu began to move around the capital. At this time, news of Andong's victory outside Jinan City spread in the capital. Suddenly, the whole capital was filled with joy, and people walked out of their homes and celebrated on the streets.
Old Man Liu naturally had no time to celebrate anything at this time, and he was in the capital at this time.
After some exchanges and giving out a lot of money, Lin Dong just wanted to set up another town in the south and there was no big conflict with their vested interests, so he agreed readily.
Let’s talk about the fact that Andong’s army defeated Yuetuo, they did not return immediately, but instead stationed outside Jinan City.
According to the plan of Lin Dong and Old Man Liu, when a town was established in Huai'an, Jinan and Qingzhou was handed over to An Dongjun as an place for Ansheng. In order to get the first move, Old Man Liu went to Beijing overnight just to gain the advantage in the next game.
Of course, according to the Qing army at that time, Jinan Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture were the territory of Shandong General Liu Zeqing, but Lin Dong didn't care about this. As long as the emperor nodded, it would be natural to occupy Jinan by then. If Liu Zeqing dared not accept it, he would not mind giving him a lesson.
