From October of the second year of Hongguang, I was busy to April of the first year of Shaowu.
On the front line of Jining and Yanzhou, the Ming army and the Qing army faced off for nearly two months. No one could do anything to the other, and the war finally ceased.
Originally, the Ming army took advantage of the victory to pursue and beat the drowned dog hard. The Qing army, with low morale, could only fight and retreat, unable to organize a defense.
Wu Sangui rested in Shandong for many days, and his troops and horses were fat and strong. Once the 30,000-strong army arrived at the front line, the battle came to an end.
The exhausted Ming army was unable to fight anymore and could only organize a defense line in the Shijiazhuang and Luqiao Town areas south of Jining.
Compared with before the war, the front line moved hundreds of miles forward.
In addition, the southwest area of Shandong, namely Caozhou, Caoxian, Dingtao, Chengwu, Shanxian, Jinxiang, and Yutai, six counties and one state, were all recovered.
Therefore, the Yuyuan Army, which had been operating in southwestern Shandong, was officially included under the Ming Dynasty.
That is, the Ming Dynasty governed the military households in Shandong Province. Zhang Qi was the commander of the Yanzhou Guard and Ren Qi was the commander of the Qingzhou Guard.
The Yuyuan Army, which was huge in size and numbered 20,000 to 30,000, was now divided into two, which could be regarded as a check and balance strategy.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
The two of them saluted tremblingly according to the etiquette they had learned before. Being able to see the emperor this time had a huge impact on them.
"Although according to the convention of the National Super League, military households are not paid, but it is very different now."
Lowering their heads, when they heard the emperor say that there was no money or food, the two of them turned pale and felt cold.
Immediately, the emperor made a twist: "Your army, just stay in camp!"
"Then, Your Majesty, how much is the camp?"
Zhang Qi asked shamelessly.
"Disrespectful——" "Insolent——"
The generals on the side heard this and scolded them one after another.
Only the emperor waved his hands, his expression remained unchanged, and he smiled:
"I divided the army into the Beijing camp and the garrison camp. The Jing camp was also called the war camp before. You are the garrison camp. That is, each soldier will have five hundred coins per month."
Seeing the surprised expressions on Zhang Qi and Ren Qi's faces, Zhu Yixi continued to smile and said: "As commanders of the First Guard, you two are in the fourth rank, and you should have one hundred and twenty taels of silver every month, which is now one hundred and twenty." A piece of silver."
"The annual salary is one thousand four hundred and forty yuan."
"As for food, weapons, clothes, etc., the court will also distribute them, so don't worry."
As soon as these words were said, the two of them were instantly relieved and couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Although they did not understand the court's salary standards, they still knew that the county prince's salary was less than a hundred taels a year, and they were much better than the county prince.
"Your Majesty, how many camps are there in Beijing?"
Ren Qi asked eagerly.
"In the Jingying camp, it's about 800 Wen!"
The emperor chuckled and said: "However, the salary of military generals is the same as yours. It's just that considering the difficulty of living in the capital, an additional one hundred and eighty shi of food subsidies are added every year."
Even so, the second general still showed an envious attitude and reluctantly left, causing all the generals to burst into laughter.
"The muddy man from the countryside only has money in his eyes."
Bai Wang on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"He has a lot of passion after all. Don't laugh at him."
The emperor smiled and looked at everyone casually: "Although there is only one part of Yanzhou Prefecture, it is also Shandong Province after all. I intend to set up the position of governor of Shandong."
When the meat show came, everyone bowed down with eagerness in their eyes.
War merit means merit, title and wealth. For the past four or five years, everyone's desire for war has been as strong as ever.
Those with a title want to be promoted, and those without a title want to be promoted. Even if they have a high title, they still want to be promoted and gain great achievements.
The emperor could see everyone's enthusiasm, and he smiled slightly: "Let's talk about it after a while!"
Just when everyone was disappointed, the emperor suddenly made another surprise attack:
"Li Jingwu was not afraid of danger in this battle, and he fought hard, which weakened the morale of the Qing army and laid the foundation for the victory of Huai'an. He was promoted to the title of Duke Yi, with an annual salary of five thousand dan——"
"The general will thank you for your kindness!"
This reward came suddenly, and everyone thought they had to wait until they returned to the capital. Unexpectedly, the emperor unexpectedly came unexpectedly.
Li Jingwu was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down.
According to the rules established last year, the marquis is named after the word "mei", the earl is named after the mansion, and the son and son are named after the county.
For example, Li Jingwu was previously a Marquis of Yi, but now that he has made great achievements, he naturally became a Duke of the country, and his title remained unchanged.
As the only prince of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jingwu was so happy that he suffocated and couldn't stop giggling.
Seeing the others looking eagerly, the emperor began to whet his appetite again: "Let's wait until we return to the capital!"
"Yes!" The generals responded feebly.
After the aftermath, Li Jingwu, the Duke of Yi State, guarded the border with an army of 30,000 people and an army of 30,000 Yuyuan troops to jointly defend Wu Sangui.
Others followed the emperor back to the south. Although there was a canal, money and food were not enough, so they had to go back to the south to eat.
However, the canal has thawed, making the boat trip relatively easy.
Riding on the dragon boat, Zhu Yixi was dressed in mysterious clothes, her long hair was tied up casually with a silk ribbon, and the breeze blew it, making it countless soft.
When we went north, the land was white and deserted. When we returned, the grass was growing and warblers were flying, and everything was revived.
In the blink of an eye, two or three months passed.
"I heard you had a good harvest from this battle?"
Zhu Yixi asked directly without turning around, looking at the desolate villages and towns on both sides of the canal.
Li Dingguo was dressed in a white robe, slightly bent over, and said softly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I was just chased around by Wu Sangui, so I can't say I have any merit."
"The ambush in Shuyang was not your fault?"
The emperor ignored his words and chuckled: "You did a good job in harassing Wu Sangui's troops in Shandong and making it difficult for them to support the Qing army."
On the other side, Gao Yigong watched Li Dingguo being praised without being humble or arrogant, and he felt sour in his heart and suddenly became envious.
Li Dingguo wanted to say more, but was stopped.
"Okay, work is work, mistakes are mistakes, I know it well."
At this time, Li Dingguo and Gao Yigong had no choice but to leave.
The two of them seemed not to care about the reward.
When the dragon boat arrived in Yangzhou, the streets were empty. People gathered on both sides of the canal to see the emperor's return.
The heat and clearness in it continued to ripple throughout Yangzhou City and lingered for a long time.
After a short rest for a day, the team set off again.
This time, Zhu Yixi boarded the Yangtze River Navy's ship. The water waves were swaying, which was not as stable as the canal.
When the emperor arrived in Nanjing, the scene was a sea of people, with red flags waving, people's eyes eager and worshiping passionately.
Zhu Yixi enjoyed the welcome ceremony. This is the impact of victory.
The people of Nanjing thanked him for resisting the Manchu Qing's march southward and avoiding military disaster; and the majority of the military relatives expressed their sincere gratitude to him.
My husband and son were brought back safely, and there were many great rewards.
This is a heartfelt thank you.
