Chapter 180: Entering Beijing with an Order (Part 1)
After everyone approved the decision to reorganize the army, Shang Yi immediately ordered to start reorganizing the entire army according to his own organization method. First, the regiment headquarters of the five regiments were determined, and then each regiment headquarters was asked to discuss and determine their own.
The junior officers then reported to Shang Yi for approval.
Of course, there is also a lot of wrangling, because many people will be fought over by the various regiments. After all, after so many battles, everyone knows who can win. For example, when guarding Muling Pass, they joined the army.
Although Wang Hu has not been in the army for a long time, he has shown great bravery in several battles. Therefore, although he was only identified as a platoon leader, three regiment headquarters were vying for him, and the quarrel continued until
Where did Shang Yi go?
In the end, Shang Yi had no choice but to decide who Wang Hu would be by drawing lottery tickets. As a result, the three groups were lucky enough to draw lottery tickets and get Wang Hu. Later, Shang Yi simply used the drawing method.
Determine the order of recruitment for each regiment.
At this moment, the imperial edict finally reached Dengzhou, requiring Zeng Hualong to bring Shang Yi to Beijing immediately for an audience. After Zeng Hualong received the imperial edict, he also felt very strange, because in the imperial edict, there was no statement about Shang Yi.
Is there any promotion reward for Yi, which means that now Shang Yi will go to Beijing to meet the emperor as a Qian Zongzong.
It turns out that Zeng Hualong's memorial uploaded to Beijing caused a huge shock in the entire Ming Dynasty. During the raid of more than 100,000 Qing troops going south, a small Qianzong, although he was guarding a city alone, fought against the Qing army.
He fought thirteen battles and won all of them. He beheaded more than 17,000 people. He also recaptured two counties and one government, and rescued more than 100,000 people captured by the Qing army.
When several cabinet ministers from the Ministry of War and the DPRK saw this memorial, it was as if they were reading a book from heaven. They stared with big eyes and small eyes, as if they couldn't understand it at all. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, what will happen now?
Is it true? Could it be that there really was a second Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty? Who was this Qianzong named Shang Yi? How could he have such ability? Even Emperor Chongzhen was confused and did not dare to
I believe this is true, but I also hope it is true.
At this time, Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, could not withstand the pressure and asked himself to go to Baoding and Changping to supervise the army and fight against the Qing army. Therefore, Chongzhen could not confirm whether the news from Shandong was true or false, and was planning to send someone to Shandong to investigate.
, then I received a secret message from Shen Yang and other Jin Weiyi staff.
Because at this time they were inquiring about information in Hebei and did not return to Beijing. However, they still passed the news about Shandong to the court. Although the secret letter did not record all the wars that took place in Shandong in detail, it clearly mentioned the guarding of Mu
Qian Zong Shang Yi of Lingguan was a talented person, and he recorded the process of Jin Yiwei following Shang Yi to recover Jinan.
After Chongzhen read the secret letter, he believed that Zeng Hualong's memorial might have exaggerated Shang Yi's achievements, but it was not considered a lie. At least he recovered two counties and one prefecture, rescued more than 100,000 people, and in
It is true that Jinan blocked the Qing army's attack. Even so, this achievement is unique in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Chong Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately ordered the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to discuss it.
What official position should be promoted to Shang Yi? Should Shang Yi be promoted to Shandong General Soldier as requested by Zeng Hualong?
However, as soon as Chongzhen's resolution was passed down, it immediately aroused opposition from many officials, because many officials believed that the achievements made by Shang Yi were too unreasonable and needed further verification before they could discuss the issue of promotion. There was also a film
The official immediately concluded that this was false. Zeng Hualong had falsely reported his military exploits and military intelligence. Zeng Hualong and Shang Yi should be arrested and interrogated in Beijing.
As a result, Chongzhen's confidence was shaken a lot, and it was difficult for him to tell everyone that he got the exact information from Jin Yiwei. So after another day of discussion, the officials finally decided to come up with a way.
Instead of appointing officials to Shang Yi, recruit Zeng Hualong and Shang Yi to Beijing and question Qingchu face to face. If it is true, then give Zeng Hualong and Shang Yi officers and titles. If it is false, then give them officers and titles.
, then I’m sorry, I’ll arrest them both in Beijing and hold them accountable.
After hearing this, Chongzhen also felt that this was the best way. Although Shang Yi, as a junior general, was actually not qualified to go to Beijing to meet the emperor, but in these extraordinary times, there was only one exception.
After Zeng Hualong received the imperial edict, although he felt strange, after thinking about it, he immediately guessed the secret. However, it is no wonder that the emperor was suspicious. It is indeed difficult for anyone to believe such a thing. Anyway, Shang Yi
His military exploits were all true, and he could tell them clearly even when he arrived in Beijing. Therefore, Zeng Hualong didn't take it to heart. While packing up and preparing to go to Beijing, he sent someone to notify Shang Yi and asked him to prepare for it when he arrived.
Qingzhou Mansion came to wait for him, and then the two of them went to Beijing together.
After Zeng Hualong's official document reached Muling Pass, Shang Yi also found it a bit funny, but then he thought about it and realized that he had simply interfered in history. Chongzhen was always a suspicious person in history. If he
It was strange that he believed it all at once. Therefore, he felt relieved. At the same time, he also wanted to go to Beijing to see how the Ming Dynasty was doing and whether there was any hope of salvation, so he immediately made preparations.
Because after listening to Zeng Hualong's instructions, Shang Yi deliberately kept 300 heads. Naturally, he would bring them all with him when he went to Beijing this time. Then he selected 200 strong and healthy prisoners from the Qing army.
It is best to be a standard Manchu and escort them to Beijing together. At the same time, they will also bring all the flags, 300 sets of armor, 500 swords and guns, and 20 drums. Anyway, they have gathered a lot, which is enough to carry the equipment.
Twenty carts were brought.
Moreover, Shang Yi listened to Zhou Shiqi's suggestion and brought 70,000 taels of silver and a batch of valuable utensils, preparing to go to Beijing to fix the joints. Youdao is the king of hell, but the devil is difficult to deal with. If the people below make things difficult for you,
It's bearable enough.
Bringing so many things and prisoners to Beijing, and now that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are having a serious quarrel, it is natural that many people need to be protected along the way. Therefore, Yi Yi also decided to bring two musket companies, totaling more than 400 people, together.
On the road, they also brought two reconnaissance platoons. In order to prevent accidents on the road, each soldier carried sixty rounds of ammunition and two hundred grenades.
None of the members of the Muling Army have been to Beijing, and there is nothing else going on in Guancheng now. Therefore, Shang Yi decided to bring Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, Cheng Jin, Cheng Gang, Duan Peng and other five people to the mountain village.
The young man went to Beijing together, and he also took Ye Yaoqi with him. Let's treat it as a publicly funded trip. At the same time, the foreign monk Akonya was also preparing to go with them to report to Tang Ruowang in Beijing.
So the person whose name was called packed his luggage in joy. Ye Yaoyao was also surprised and happy, knowing that Shang Yi loved her, so she felt very sweet mentally.
After two days of preparation, Shang Yi set off with his team. Before leaving, he made detailed arrangements for the affairs in Guanli.
After arriving at Qingzhou Prefecture, Shang Yi was warmly welcomed by the prefect Meng Honggong, who couldn't help but thank Shang Yi. On the one hand, Shang Yi covered up the bad achievements of the Qingzhou soldiers in front of Zeng Hualong and preserved Meng's official position as prefect.
, On the other hand, it was also because Shang Yi was definitely going to be promoted when he came to Beijing this time, so he took this opportunity to have a good relationship with Shang Yi, so he held a family dinner for Shang Yi at home.
Seeing that the hospitality was too great, Shang Yi had no choice but to take Ye Yaoyao to the banquet. Little did he know that Meng Honggong's carefully prepared plan came to nothing.
It turned out that Meng Honggong had a daughter who was sixteen years old this year and quite pretty, so Meng Honggong was also interested. Although he knew that Shang Yi married a wife based on his experience, he thought that he was just marrying a country girl. How could he marry her?
Compared with the daughter of the prefect, he planned to test Shang Yi's tone during the banquet. As long as Shang Yi was willing to marry his daughter, he planned to marry Shang Yi.
And if Shang Yi did not forget his wife, Meng Honggong's daughter naturally could not marry Shang Yi as a concubine, but he also had other preparations, which was to give Shang Yi two concubines.
The dancers came out to let Shang Yi see him. If Shang Yi wanted to move, they would immediately offer him a gift.
After Nazhi met Ye Yaojia, Meng Honggong discovered that although Shang Yi's newlywed wife was young, she was extremely beautiful, behaved and spoke very well, and was by no means a vulgar country girl. Her own daughter
Although the appearance is not bad, it is far behind. Looking at Shang Yi's words and deeds, it is obvious that he is deeply affectionate and considerate to his wife, let alone marrying his own daughter as his wife. And in front of Ye Yaojia
He couldn't give Shang Yi a concubine in person, so Magistrate Meng had to put aside the carefully arranged matters for the time being and wait until he had the opportunity to talk about it later.
After waiting for two days, Zeng Hualong also arrived at Qingzhou Mansion. Shang Yi and Meng Honggong brought Zeng Hualong into the city. Accompanying Zeng Hualong were Han Zhi and Xiao Wenjun, whom Shang Yi knew.
Seeing what Shang Yi prepared, Zeng Hualong was also very satisfied, thinking that the emperor would be very happy after seeing these things. Then he asked Meng Honggong about the work of resettling refugees, and Meng Honggong also asked Zeng Hualong one by one.
In the report, he also praised Shang Yi a few words, saying that it was only because of the money and food he supported that the resettlement of refugees went smoothly.
In fact, Meng Honggong is a pretty good official. He also spent a lot of effort in resettling the refugees this time. Most of the money and food supported by Shang Yi was indeed used on the refugees.
After Zeng Hualong listened, he praised both of them. When he learned that Shang Yi planned to bring his newlywed wife to Beijing this time, Zeng Hualong couldn't help but smile, thinking that Shang Yi was still a young man after all.
It is normal to act more romantically, and they are a young couple, and they are newlyweds. This time Shang Yi went to Beijing to be granted a title. It was the spring breeze that made him proud, so it was understandable that he brought his wife along with him. There is no need to overdo these details.
Calculated.
Everyone stayed in Qingzhou Mansion for another night, and then set off on the road together the next day. Meng Honggong sent them ten miles outside the city before returning. Zeng Hualong and Shang Yi led the group all the way north to Beijing.
