Chapter 135 The emperor and cabinet bosses were frightened by the results of the battle
Qin Zhan, Minister of War, said: "Your Majesty, even if the city is destroyed in this battle, it will never be the responsibility of the young commander. With his military ability, how can he not be able to defend even a city? There must be a reason for this, and we need to investigate clearly. Decide!"
"I second the proposal!"
Zhou Jingye, Minister of Rites, expressed his position.
The three of them are on the same front, supporting Wu Ling in taking command, and now they share the responsibility.
"Your Majesty, I can't wait any longer!"
Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi said: "Huang Ting will receive the news soon, and the team we sent to Huang Ting to sue for peace will arrive soon. We must give Huang Ting a satisfactory answer, otherwise the Huang Ting will inevitably increase their troops, and our great cause will be in jeopardy."
The last court meeting decided to take advantage of the great victory to seek peace with the deserters, so they sent Lin Chaoen there.
Now, taking advantage of the reputation of Huangren's peace talks, we can eradicate the main war factions such as Yang Fengguo.
"I second the proposal!"
The three ministers, Shi Yaoqian, Gu Jidao and Li Shiqi, expressed their stance together.
“We’ll discuss it in two days!”
Emperor Xinglong’s eyes darkened!
The secret report from the Shadow Dragon Guard has not yet arrived, so he trusts the spy more than the report from these ministers.
The crimes of the leftist faction must be punished, but not too harshly.
Otherwise, the Right Prime Minister will be the dominant faction, and the two rows on the left and right must be balanced in order to be restrained!
Yang Fengguo, the Prime Minister of the Left, Qin Zhan, the Minister of War, and Zhou Jingye, the Minister of Rites, had many affairs.
They all vouched for Marshal Wu Ling with their lives and possessions, and now Jiushan County is in ruins!
No matter what the reason is, they can't escape their involvement!
Two days later, the cabinet!
Seeing Babai Li hurry up, Emperor Xinglong was dumbfounded!
The eight cabinet ministers were astonished as if they were in a dream!
However, those on the right were dumbfounded, while those on the left raised their heads and held their chests high!
Great victory in Jiushan County!
Not only was the city defended, but they also burned 30,000 deserters' heavy infantry and killed 10,000 cavalry.
That night, they used the Fire Ox formation to attack the camp of the deserters, killing 10,000 people and capturing 30,000 deserters.
The next day, he disguised himself as a deserter, kidnapped the young prince Agucha and recaptured Longtou Pass!
This news is confirmed!
There is not only Marshal Wu Ling, but also Tongzhi Yan Fuhu, and Shadow Dragon Guard Mi Zhe.
It also includes another confession letter sent by Zhang Han, Xue Pan, and Lin Chaoen!
If it hadn't been confirmed by multiple sources, all nine people would have thought the news was false!
The result of this battle was so great that even when Wu Mu was around, he had never had such a great victory!
But when you think about the layout, it makes sense and you can’t fault it!
Reading the memorial over and over again, Emperor Xinglong had no expression on his face, but his heart felt much more relaxed!
The Right Prime Minister group did not dare to slander Wang Yuan and Wu Ling. Their military exploits were too great.
"Your Majesty, I have three requests."
Yang Fengguo, the Prime Minister of the Left, straightened his back: "First, please ask Zhanghan, Xue Pan, and Lin Chaoen for escaping from the battle; secondly, please recall the peace envoys; thirdly, please invite Marshal Wu Ling and Military Advisor Wang Yuan!"
Zhou Jingye, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Zhan, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Yuan Guanluan, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also said: "Your majesty, please reward me for your merits and punish me for my mistakes!"
Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi was expressionless, and the three ministers frowned!
Zhang Han and Xue Pan are both from the Right Prime Minister faction, and Lin Chaoen is also close to them.
The three people were dealt with, which means that in the recent government situation, the right-wing faction has been at a disadvantage.
Many officials who sit on the fence will definitely fall to the leftist faction.
However, they did not dare to object.
This contribution is so great that even the civil and military officials of the entire court would not agree to it.
"Zhang Han was demoted to county magistrate, Xue Pan was removed from the post of commander, and Lin Chaoen was stripped of his title! Recall the peace envoy immediately!"
Emperor Xinglong pondered for a moment: "Wuling was promoted to two levels in a row, promoted to the governor, and granted the title of Marquis of Wu. He was hereditary and replaced. After handling the affairs of Jiushan County, he was transferred back to Kyoto to report on his duties."
"Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Yang Fengguo and the four of them had tears in their eyes!
The Wu family sacrificed their lives and blood for the great cause, and now the feudal lord can also comfort Mourinho's spirit in heaven.
But His Majesty transferred him back to Wuling, and still didn't trust him to take charge of the army.
Emperor Xinglong pondered slightly: "As for the boy-born Wang Yuan, he is neither an officer nor a civilian. It is really difficult to reward him. Let him study hard. I will make good use of him when he is named on the gold medal list."
"What!"
Yang Fengguo stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, you should know that Mr. Wang Yuan played a great role in annihilating the desert army this time. Without his various arrangements, even Marshal Wu Ling would have been undefeated at most. A big victory would have been impossible."
He has successfully done so, and even Wuling has been granted a title. How could he not be granted the title? Sir, he is a man of great talent. Don’t underestimate him like this. Otherwise, it will chill people’s hearts. Who is willing to be used for a great cause? Your Majesty, please grant him a title!"
The Five Nobles of Daye: Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, and Male. The titles can only be awarded for military merit.
Once you have received a title, you are considered a noble, and you may even have a fiefdom if you don't worship the official.
"Your Majesty, please knight me sir!"
Qin Zhan, the Minister of War, Zhou Jingye, the Minister of Rites, and Yuan Guanluan, the Minister of Personnel, have always expressed their stance.
For such great achievements, even the title of marquis is too low, so at least he should be granted the title of Duke.
Emperor Xinglong frowned: "My dear friends, I have made up my mind and there is no need to say anything more!"
Yang Fengguo frowned in confusion: "Your Majesty, why do you despise a great talent so much? Do you want to chill his heart?"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
The three great leaders, Qin Zhan, the Minister of War, Zhou Jingye, the Minister of Rites, and Yuan Guanluan, the Minister of Personnel, knelt down.
Emperor Xinglong's eyes darkened: "Dear ladies, do you want to force me into the palace?"
He didn't believe that a scholar who couldn't pass the Tongsheng examination could have such a great talent!
It must be that old ghost Wang Haitian who wants to use the young man's hand to control the court.
The strategies after each battle were all the work of that old ghost!
Even "Man Jiang Hong, Yi Wu Mu" must have been written by that old ghost!
Although that old ghost is talented, if he didn't stand by him back then, it would be considered disloyal and useless!
On the contrary, none of his people can be given a chance!
"Your Majesty, I am not trying to force you into the palace, but for the great cause of the country and the country!"
Yang Fengguo lamented with eyes: "This son is knowledgeable and has the ability to understand the world. Whether it is national policy or military leadership, his great talent has been undoubtedly revealed. As long as your majesty uses this talented person, the great cause will be revived and even the lost territory will be recovered. The northern and southern expeditions may not be possible."
Impossible, please think again, Your Majesty!"
"Yang Aiqing, I know better than you whether that boy is really talented!"
Emperor Xinglong waved his hand: "If there is nothing else, let's leave!"
The four of them frowned and stood up!
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say!"
Bao Qingshi said: "Xue Pan, Lin Chaoen's memorial has been mentioned. The boy Wang Yuan can make magic weapons that can cut iron like clay. He has made more than a hundred weapons and has shown his power in several battlefields. Please order this son to be handed over.
After discovering the method of forging soldiers and having this magic weapon that can cut iron like clay, how can our great soldiers be afraid of the enemies from all over the world?"
"Well, not bad!"
Emperor Xinglong nodded and said: "Send an order to Wang Yuan to hand over the secret method of forging weapons, reward him with a thousand taels of silver, and give him a ninth-grade official status!"
"Your Majesty, you..."
The four of them, Yang Fengguo, had a mouthful of old blood stuck in their chests and wanted to spurt it out!
Not only was he not rewarded, but he also took away people's secrets.
Rewarding people with a thousand taels of silver and giving them a ninth-grade official status, isn't this humiliating?
"Let's break up!"
Emperor Xinglong walked away!
He didn't take the initiative to submit this secret method to the court, which shows that he was not loyal!
As unworthy of reuse as that old ghost, such a reward is just a slap in the face!
The Umrah will disperse!
He originally had a great victory over the Left Prime Minister's faction, but now his face was gloomy and he couldn't be happy at all.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister's group on the right had their lips slightly raised and they were very satisfied!
He pulled out the imperial study room in three parts.
Qin Zhan frowned: "Your Majesty, what's going on? The military advisor has such a great talent, why don't you reuse it?"
Zhou Jingye said with a straight face: "If you take someone to create the secret method of a magical weapon, you will only be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and a ninth-grade official. Your Majesty, this is, this is... ugh!"
Yang Fengguo said with a cold face: "This matter is not over yet. It will be discussed again at the court meeting. If you have made great achievements and not be rewarded, but instead take away people's secrets, let's see if the civil and military officials of the court agree?"
The scalps of the two of them were numb, and Zuo Xiangniu's temper was rising. He wanted to fight with His Majesty.
…
On the same day, Jiushan County!
Although it took three days to recover Longtou Pass, the city was already very busy!
Treat the wounded, count the soldiers killed in battle, and prepare pensions!
Re-deploy troops and station them at Longtou Pass to repair the damaged pass.
Watch over the deserted soldiers and prevent them from causing rebellion!
Repair, manufacture offensive and defensive equipment...all kinds of things, just to name a few!
Fortunately, we won a great victory and captured 100,000 elite soldiers, which raised the morale of the military and the people to an unprecedented high.
The Huangren lost 100,000 elite men and were unable to attack the Dragon Head Pass again within ten years.
All kinds of commercial activities in the city are booming again, and everyone's faces are beaming with joy.
Wang Yuan was also in the city. He wanted to go back to Fu County immediately, but he had to stay.
There were two major battles in a row. Although they were planned in advance, more than 3,000 soldiers died and even more were injured!
The pensions for these soldiers were very small. Each soldier received three bolts of silk a year for three consecutive years.
A piece of silk costs about one tael of silver, which is equivalent to nine taels of silver, less than ten taels.
It made him feel very uncomfortable, and he wanted to make up some money for these wounded and wounded soldiers!
And the kitchen households in Feicang promised to lend them money to support their production!
But now he has no money on hand and has spent all his money on bargain hunting!
Fortunately, after taking back the leading position, these assets immediately skyrocketed again.
The county magistrates, wealthy families, and officials who received the news also began to move back one after another.
In just three days, more than a dozen county magistrates, wealthy families, and officials sent people to contact him, hoping to buy back the sold property at double or triple the price.
Wang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to these people and let Hu Mengying handle them all. He was very busy.
There were too many injured soldiers, and with the medical technology of this era, it was difficult to treat the wounds.
For this reason, he had to tinker with alcohol disinfection in Jiushan County!
He first went to the Armor Department to gather craftsmen and build multiple sets of distillation equipment!
Through Yan Fushi, he bought a large amount of wine from the winery under the government's name!
Then distill it to get about 75 degrees of alcohol, and start disinfecting the wounded soldiers!
When he arrived at the wounded soldier's camp, Wang Yuan frowned when he saw the way the military doctors treated wounds: "To treat wounds of wounded soldiers, you must first disinfect them with alcohol and then bandage them; the bandaged cloth strips must be boiled and disinfected in boiling water. This can
Preventing wound suppuration can help the wounded recover faster."
In this era, there is no awareness of disinfection, and the cloths used to wrap wounds are not clean.
"Alcohol?"
"disinfect?"
"inflamed?"
The military doctors were all confused and no one could understand what this meant.
But no one dares to question it. Now everyone in the army admires the military advisor!
No matter what he says, someone will do it!
A younger doctor stood up and said, "Military advisor, what is disinfection?"
