Chapter Eighteen

The essence of war is to use the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the most damage.

However, there are many factors that determine the success or failure of the war, and it is difficult to list them all. From the moment the little prince evacuated from the north gate of Wuli Village, this vigorous Ming-Mongolian war ended with the defeat of the Mongols.

Balsawa Polo waited until the first boat of Ming troops crossed the Sanggan River before ordering a retreat. He did not wait for Monlik, nor did he wait for the Southern Emperor's personal commitment.

At this time, the little prince had already led his army across the Hunyuan River, taking the south side of the Sangqian River, and was preparing to cross the river from Shacheng, cross the Kaolao Mountain (later known as Ge Lao Mountain), and break through the empty Yanghewei.

and oral gag.

However, Alsuborot did not follow his father Khan. He went east along the Sanggan River and his whereabouts are unknown. According to Liu Xuan, the general of Chaigoubao on the lower west road of Xuanfu, he guessed that the fourth prince of Mongolia might have the same empty military strength.

He left the Xuan Mansion because it was opposite his hometown.

As for the whereabouts of Balsam Polo, it is even more uncertain.

Stalking?

Don't worry, the generals who followed Zhu Shou on the expedition were not freeloaders. Before the main force of the Ming army crossed the river, they had already laid numerous obstacles along the Sanggan River. For example, Qiu Yue, who led a thousand Ningxia soldiers, was crossing the Sanggan River.

Wandering around among the mountains on the south bank of the dry river.

However, as long as the Mongols want to escape, in the era of cold weapons, there are not many ways to stop them. After all, the mobility of the cavalry is clearly there. The Zhengde and Ming armies, which are mainly infantry, have long ceased to be

In the era of Zhu Laosi, when the cavalry was running rampant, it was enough to follow behind and beat the autumn wind.

Although Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing must have figured out a way to annihilate the Mongols, they are both on the receiving end of crime, and it is still unknown whether they will be beheaded. As for offering suggestions, don't dream about it. Even if they can say it.

, due to political rules, Zhu Shou would not adopt it.

Therefore, the generals of the Ming Dynasty who followed the emperor did not seek any merit, but rather no merit. They could just bite off a few pieces of flesh from the little prince and others, and no one tried to surround Yaxing, who was an iron nail.

Zhu Shou's emperor's guard of honor was about to enter the city, but Wang Shengren had no intention of welcoming him. He and Yang Yiqing had an affair with the Mongols, and each had a lot of information in the hands of the Mongols for the victory or defeat of Wuli Village.

Now that the battle is over, his life, like the little prince, is not in his own hands.

He stood in front of Li Hong's body, stretched out his hand, and closed Young Master Li's eyes. Those long arrows had already been pulled out and piled in one place, thirty-seven of them!

During the Zhengde period, Li Hong, a representative figure among the high-ranking cadres of the Guard Army, was tragically placed with a pile of bloody long arrows in front of the city gate tower that he had defended with his life.

Two to three thousand surviving Ming troops, with tears in their eyes, stared at a dead man and a living man on the city gate, silently.

Compared with this group of guardsmen whose faces were full of blood and tears and whose clothes were shabby, the emperor's personal guards who poured into the city gate, with bright armor and bright swords and guns, passed through the city gate hole neatly and quickly, stepping on the warriors of the two races for several hours.

Looking at the blood stains flowing out from the front, I looked at Zixiong. It seemed that the battle at Wuli Village was not fought by those weak guardsmen, but the masterpiece of these Ming Dynasty tigers.

It's a pity that their swords and guns are too bright, and there is not even a trace of blood. I am afraid that they will never have a chance to really kill the enemy in this life. If even the emperor's personal guards are involved in the battlefield, the tragedy of Ming Yingzong will not be far away.

.

The sky was getting dark, and nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty crowded Wuli Village in the middle. The camps could be connected from the bank of Sanggan River to Yingzhou City. On the school grounds of Wuli Village, countless torches were lit, lighting up the dark night.

, reflected like daylight.

On the school grounds, there were two hundred warriors selected from the Wuli Village defenders. Each of them chopped off more than two Mongolian heads...

Among them, the one with the most military exploits beheaded seventeen Mongolian heads!

This is a young man of about 20 years old. He is currently standing at the forefront of the team, just behind the three generals Wang Shouren, Zhang Yong and Zhu Cheng. He has a yellowish complexion, a high nose, and a pair of rings.

His eyes are bright and lively, and he looks somewhat heroic. However, his eyebrows are extremely thin, in the shape of an inverted figure, and his lips are also extremely thin. When he closes them, he can only see his pale lips biting together, forming a deep line downwards.

ditch.

"What's the name of the strong man?" Zhu Shou asked softly, sitting on the dragon chair.

His words were naturally shouted by several eunuchs and reached the young man's ears. This is the majesty of the emperor and does not allow for any sloppiness.

The strong young man quickly walked a few steps, knelt down on the ground, almost pressed his face to the loess of the school ground, and shouted loudly: "Xiaoqi, Ji Qiyi, a subordinate of Anton Zhongtun Guard!"

His voice was so loud that it stirred up a lot of dust on the ground and spread it all over his head and face.

Zhu Shou saw it from a distance, felt happy in his heart, and issued an edict: "Give him the name of Gongxun, with the courtesy name Shooying, and be promoted to the rank of Commander of the Andong Zhongtun Guards, Envoy Secretary, Zhenfu Division, and Zhenfu Division."

Zhenfu is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. Xiaoqi, whose original name was Ji Qiyi, knew from a poor family as soon as he heard his name. He was promoted from Xiaoqi to Zhenfu all of a sudden, and was extremely rare to be named personally by the emperor.

Shou Ying! This is in recognition of his great contribution in guarding Yingzhou! This is an honor that even some princes cannot get!

He was so happy that he almost fainted, and he kowtowed nine times before shouting loudly: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhu Shou saw that he had outstanding martial arts skills and seemed to have a simple nature. He felt very fond of him and asked, "Have you ever entered a school?"

Ji Gongxun honestly kowtowed nine more times and shouted in a dizzy state: "We have never."

"Born from the second phase of the Martial Arts Academy."

A few words from Zhu Shou completely changed the life of a rural boy. The originally unknown public patrol officer of Ji Qi Qi Ji entered the history books of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Yong listened to the conversation between the emperor and the country boy. He was a eunuch and was only responsible for supervising the army. In other words, he only needed to keep an eye on senior generals such as Wang Shouren and Zhu Cheng. If there was any abnormality, he would be executed immediately.

Kill. As for defending the city, he has absolutely no responsibility and does not have the ability.

If the Wuli Walled City is destroyed, Admiral Zhang will die for his country. This is also the duty of supervising the army. Of course, it is not impossible to shamelessly escape back to Zhu Shou, but before Lao Liu dies, Lao Zhang can wipe

Don't lose that face.

He was also aware of the collaborating activities of Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing. Zhang Yong, who had become the second eunuch of the Supervisory Army, naturally understood the painstaking efforts of these two men. Therefore, he did not use the power of the Supervisory Army, but instead acquiesced in their actions.

.

From this point of view, Admiral Zhang is also in danger of being implicated.

A few days ago, Li Dongyang and Li Viper had a comment that came from the capital: "Ying Ning and Bo'an can bring peace to the world together. Now that they are together in Datong, the Holy One will have no worries."

Boss Liu did not allow these two disaster stars to return to the capital because he recognized their talents. If Lao Liu knew the link, the lives of Yang and Wang would not be saved.

Boss Liu's gangsters are everywhere. Within three days at the latest, an impeachment memorial will arrive on Zhu Shou's desk like snowflakes. He will definitely not give up until these two treacherous officials are killed.

Admiral Zhang glanced at Wang Shouren beside him. This very tall middle-aged man, whose body was originally like a tiger, had become as thin as a bamboo pole. Countless bloody battles to defend the city had exhausted his physical strength. His clothes were stinking.

Guan Yi stood there alone, with no expression on his face.

Zhu Cheng, the deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui, stood beside the two men. When he saw that the emperor did not follow the official rules and speak to the three of them first, but went to chat happily with a soldier, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, knowing that this time was unlucky.

few.….

His two bosses collaborated with the enemy. Among the big families in Yingzhou City who were robbed of everything by him, who didn't have an old friend in the court to support? As long as the emperor issued an edict, he would definitely beat the drowned dog. His small life would be 100%

Among them, 90% have already gone.

Zhu Shou is not a political expert, but he has already mastered basic political common sense.

Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren must be punished, which is the need to maintain imperial power and the political rules of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, even if Zhu Shou knows the difficulties of Yang and Wang, he must severely punish the behavior of these two people.

But Yang and Wang both made great contributions. If it weren't for them, the little prince would have captured Yingzhou and cut off Zhu Shou's retreat. Leading the army to play hide-and-seek with the Mongols? Zhu Shou and the group of senior generals

We are not fools.

Therefore, the punishment for these two people should not be too severe, otherwise it will make people underestimate Zhu Shou's ability.

It was neither serious nor trivial. Looking at the three Yingzhou generals with different expressions, Zhu Shou felt a little headache.

"Wang Shouren," following Zhu Shou's low and slow voice, Chen Jing quickly took out several memorials and threw them in front of Wang Shouren, "these are the memorials to impeach you for being a member of the Mongols. How can you defend yourself?"

There is no airtight wall in the world. The battle at Yingzhou Wuli Village has been going on for so many days. Bureaucrats in the surrounding prefectures and counties have long wanted to get rid of the imperial envoy Wang. They found several memorials with names and names. For the expert factory

For the boss, Admiral Chen, this is a piece of cake.

"I am aware of my guilt." Wang Shouren neither defended nor shouted loudly. He just took off his official hat, stared at the blood and mud marks on it, and remained silent.

Seeing that Saint Wang was not cooperating at all, Zhu Shou laughed angrily and asked, "What's the crime?"

Wang Shouren said solemnly: "Seventeen thousand, seven hundred and twenty-four soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty fought hard for eight days and seven nights under the command of the minister. As a result, the general Li Hong, the commander Zhu Zheng and other heroes unfortunately died for the country. Those who have survived to this day are:

There are less than 3,000 people, and this is my most serious crime."

Zhu Shou was shocked by the numbers reported by Saint Wang. When he entered Wuli Village, the countless corpses of warriors from both tribes surrounding the city had long been cleared away.

A small Wuli Village was able to be played with so many tricks by Wang Shouren, and with its weak troops and guards, it actually repelled the young prince's powerful force. Is this old boy still a human?

"Lending silver and manpower from wealthy families throughout Yingzhou to pay rewards and salaries to soldiers, disobeying the king's laws, and harassing neighbors is the second most serious crime of a minister."

After hearing the two major crimes given by Saint Wang, Zhu Shou nodded knowingly: "It is announced that Wang Shouren has betrayed the country. There is no solid evidence and he will not be investigated. However, his command was ineffective and disturbed the elders stationed there. The evidence of his crime was conclusive, so he was dismissed as an imperial envoy." He was demoted to a commoner and sent thousands of miles away to Luling County, Ji'an Prefecture."

History has come full circle and sent Wang Shouren to the place where he became famous in the first battle, Jiangxi!

Mr. Wang Bo'an was destined not to get along with the frontier soldiers, because the guards in Jiangxi were more corrupt than those in Datong. Moreover, the two princes, Beizhixiu and Nanchenhao, were still not freeloaders.

By what means will Saint Wang rise to prominence in the world? Let this be analyzed later.

When the emperor was dealing with Wang Shouren, the big bosses turned a blind eye. Most of them were not from the Liu Party. Since the emperor was deliberately letting off steam, if he got close to him at this time, he would inevitably be in danger of being kicked in the face.

Therefore, when dealing with Zhang Yong, Zhu Shou naturally had more methods: "Xuan, Zhang Yong, the supervisor of the army, neglected his duties and should have been severely punished. However, considering that he had done a minor job in defending the city, he immediately rushed to Weiyuan Guards to verify Yang Yiqing's performance. Tongfan case!"

Who is Zhang Yong? The second eunuch, he has countless disciples, and although his party members are not as good as those of Lao Liu, they are not much less. The most important thing is that his relationship with the emperor is as close as family.

Not to mention that he neglected his duties, even if he really lost Yingzhou and he fled back shamelessly, Zhu Shou would not punish him. He would just send him to Nanjing for retirement. In some respects, Zhu Shou was the same as Zhu Houzhao. The eunuchs around me all have indescribable emotions.

But what the emperor didn't know was that Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, after going round and round, finally joined forces victoriously.

They worked together to become good friends and played Boss Liu's funeral song.
