Chapter 96 Northern Expedition

 Grape wine luminous cup,

If you want to drink Pipa, urge me immediately.

Lord Don’t laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield,

How many people have fought in ancient times?

"Come and have a drink, generals! Thank you for your hard work, generals!"

"Thank you, Supervisor!"

The city of Guilin smells of fine wine, and Zhu Hengjia, who won the battle, is rewarding the hard-working soldiers.

Wine is good wine, Guilin Ruilu.

"I would like to pay a toast to the two great scholars. This time, you have been strategizing and your hard work has paid off!"

"Thank you, Supervisor!"

"Where is the Marquis of Dingxi?"

"I'm here!"

"A surprise attack on Wujiang Pass, a beautiful fight! I have a drink for you!"

"Thank you, Supervisor!"

"Sun Qing, Bai Qing, Feng Qing, Gao Qing, Qing, etc. must not be restrained. Since you have surrendered to this prison country, we are a family from now on. Come, come, come, drink this cup!"

"I am waiting to thank the supervisor for his kindness."

Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and both the host and the guest look happy.

"Military report! Huguang 600 miles urgent!"

Zhu Xiangjia was stunned: "What kind of military report? There is nothing to hide. All generals are all lonely confidants. Think about it!"

"Huguang Six Hundred Miles hastened, the Qing army broke through the new wall, the Tongxi defense line, Xingye Gong Yang Guowei was killed in battle."

Silence, deathly silence, for a long time, Zhu Hengjia didn't speak.

"Supervise the country", "supervise the country", "supervise the country!" Sun Jinding next to him reminded gently.

Zhu Hengjia was so heartbroken that he suddenly let out heart-rending wails.

"Lao Yang! Lao Yang! You have followed Gu in the south and north in these years, and you have only endured hardships without enjoying any blessings! If you and a group of veterans hadn't fully supported you, how could Gu have been in the position of supervising the country! Lao Yang Old Yang, I originally wanted to drive away the Tartars, and after restoring the two capitals, I would share the wealth with you! How could you leave alone first! Old Yang! You will kill me so hard!"

This crying made the sky dim and the earth dark, and the sun and moon lost all light. Guan Shouzhen, Sun Jinding, Yu Chaoxiang, Gu Yi, Tao Cheng and other senior ministers were all moved and burst into tears.

Crying, crying, Zhu Hengjia suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.

The ministers were frightened and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor for help.

After a long time, Zhu Hengjia woke up leisurely, patted the imperial case, and gritted his teeth.

"Gu wants to expedition to the north to Huguang and avenge Xingye Gong. Which general is willing to accompany Gu on the expedition?"

Li Mingzhong, Zhang Chengwu, Wang Xiang, Zhao Erhu, Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, and Gao Minggui all knelt down to ask for battle.

Zheng Feng nodded secretly: The sad soldiers will win, and their morale can be used!

On July 6, the 20th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hengjia led an army of 110,000 to the northern expedition to Huguang.

"The Chronicles of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty": When the emperor heard that his country was dying, he mourned and raised all the troops from Guangxi to the north.

??

Zhu Hengjia's army arrived in Qiyang, Yongzhou Prefecture, and He Tengjiao and other Huguang civil and military forces came out to meet them.

"He Qing, do you know the crime?"

"As a feudal lord, if I cannot defend my territory, I will be punished by death."

Zhu Hengjia secretly sighed. This man had integrity and was very smart. He knew how to retreat in order to advance. He claimed to be a capital offender, but he couldn't be killed. If he used this intelligence to treat his colleagues and the common people well and deal with the Tartars, he would be a good minister. It's a pity that his party is united and opposed by others, and his selfishness is too much! What a pity!

"Your fault is not only the loss of land, but also your inability to employ people. Your appointment was auspicious, and the governor of a province was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty; your appointment was made by Huang Chaoxuan, Dong Ying, and Wang Yuncheng, who had tens of thousands of troops, but they turned into Tatar eagles and dogs; Zhang Xianbi and Lu Ding fled without fighting. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Zhang Xianbi and Lu Ding, two generals on the side, were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

Zhu Hengjia ignored the two of them and looked at He Tengjiao quietly.

He Tengjiao's face turned red and he apologized again.

"He Qing, take a good look at these memorials."

He Tengjiao opened it and saw that there was a whole basket full of memorials to impeach him for losing territory and harming the country.

Over the years, I have worked hard to restore the two capitals and revive the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, today I have become a lost dog and a minister who has harmed the country.

He Tengjiao looked at the Huguang civil and military personnel on both sides. He had promoted all these people, but now no one could excuse him! He couldn't help but feel discouraged and ashen.

"I will let you oversee the country's development."

Zhu Hengjia suddenly couldn't bear it. Although the governor was weak, he was a loyal minister after all. He had supported the Huguang Bureau for so many years, going through life and death, without merit, but with hard work. Beating him to death with a stick chilled the hearts of other frontier officials.

"I want to remove you from the post of governor of Huguang and replace you with Du Yinxi. Are you convinced?"

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. I thank God for your kindness!"

Zhu Hengjia's tone slowed down: "In these years, you have been very loyal to the Ming Dynasty. You know it well. However, merit is merit, and mistakes are faults. Clear rewards and punishments are the way to govern a country. Don't blame Gu!"

He Tengjiao's eyes turned red: "As a feudal lord, I cannot defend my territory. I know that my crime is serious and I dare not complain."

"Yes. I want to keep you by my side and support the military. Is your willingness to do so?"

He Tengjiao breathed a sigh of relief and was suddenly very moved. He thought he would be punished, but unexpectedly he was dismissed as the governor of Huguang. He still retained the title of Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian, and could still stay with the prison country. The holy family has not declined!

"I thank the supervising country for its kindness, work hard and die."

After He Tengjiao was punished, Zhu Hengjia also awarded the title of minister who died for his country. Yang Guowei was granted the title of Taishi, specially promoted to the Guanglu Doctor, Zuozhu Kingdom; Zhang Kuang was awarded the title of Dongge University Scholar, specially promoted to Ronglu Doctor, the Zhuguo; Wang Guangxing He was the official of Guanglu and served as the pillar of the country; Niu Wancai was the general of Dingguo and guarded the army.

He also asked Yang Fuchen to seize the title.

The provisions of the Ming Dynasty ancestral system:

The royal family, princes, and vassal kings are hereditary, and the others are descended from generation to generation.

Lordships are divided into three levels: Duke, Marquis and Earl. Each level of title is further divided into four levels. The first-level title is Founding Assistant Yun Tuicheng, which means that this title was obtained by following Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world; the second-level title is Fengtian Jingnan Tuicheng, which means This title was obtained after Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, successfully rebelled against Jingnan; the third-class Fengtian Yiyun Tuicheng; the fourth-class Fengtian Yiwei Tuicheng.

Dukes, marquises, and uncles are divided according to the size of their military achievements. Those who have made great contributions will be given an iron certificate. It is hereditary and passed down from generation to generation, and they are called "Spirits." In the end, it was called "Liujue".

In order to win over people's hearts, Zhu Hengjia granted many titles in one breath. However, in order to fear that he would be unable to grant any titles after granting them too quickly, he did not issue hereditary and irreplaceable iron certificates to these heroes. Without certificates, Yang Fuchen could not attack Yang according to the ancestral system. Of national prestige.

But Yang Guowei's contribution was so great, and Yang Fuchen was not allowed to seize the title, which chilled the hearts of the heroes. What should we do? Make a compromise.

In a humane society like the Ming Dynasty, a good supervisor is a supervisor who is good at compromise.

Zhu Hengjia asked Yang Fuchen to demote one rank to the title of Marquis of Xingye instead of Duke of Xingye. He also named Yang Guowei's first wife as the First Grade Imperial Lady, and Yang Fuguo, the second son of Yang Guowei, was made the official of Zhongshushe.

Zhu Hengjia also appointed Du Yinxi as the governor of Huguang; Gao Doushu, the former governor of Huguang, was appointed the governor of Huguang.

After finishing these tasks, Zhu Hengjia glanced coldly at the two fleeing generals Zhang Xianbi and Lu Ding, who were kneeling in front of the palace and trembling.

"Drag it out and kill it!"

Two heads fell to the ground, and the air was filled with solemnity.
