As soon as Wang Ziteng entered the Shandong realm, the imperial edict arrived. The emperor was unambiguous in his promotion of rank and title. Wang Ziteng is now a marquis. In addition to his current official position, he was also granted the title of Governor Jiubian.
In fact, everyone knows what Jiubian is like. Also the governor of Jiubian. In fact, it's just a name. But Wang Ziteng's position in the court improved. The current Wang Ziteng can be said to be the number one general in the Zheng Dynasty.
This was also the reason why the emperor was so excited when he saw the prince flying. Only then did he have to be promoted to a higher position to appease Wang Ziteng. In fact, everyone knows what Wang Ziteng did in Jiangnan this time. Most officials in the DPRK also admired Wang Ziteng's ruthlessness.
The army of Dazheng Dynasty was exhausted, and Wang Ziteng's army was even more valuable. Even the emperor had to be coaxed temporarily. Always respect the strong in any era.
Of course, the strong here refers to those who are powerful to a certain extent. Just like Wang Ziteng, the army he controlled had a decisive influence on the Zheng Dynasty.
Li Miao felt that it was not that simple, and Wang Ziteng's fate began to change. It turned out that Wang Ziteng was also banned from patrolling the nine borders, but his position as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp was eliminated. In fact, it is rising brightly and falling darkly.
But now Prince Tengzhen can be said to be in a high and powerful position. He was truly the first person in the army of the Great Zheng Dynasty, second only to the cabinet ministers. And the army in his hand is his talisman. Therefore, even the emperor did not dare to let him rise openly or secretly.
In fact, anytime, anywhere. Essentially, the fists do the talking. When your fist reaches a certain level, you can make rules and change them.
This time, Japanese pirates and pirates invaded Jiangnan first. It is very likely that it was a demonstration by the local forces in Jiangnan led by the Zhen family of Jiangnan. It means don’t push them too hard. Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious.
Wang Ziteng just cleverly seized this opportunity and completely made up for his shortcomings. Now Wang Ziteng's army has no shortage of money. From now on, no one among the corrupt officials in the DPRK will dare to deduct his military pay anymore.
When your fist gets hard enough, all the rules have to change for you. It is estimated that the officials who originally deducted Prince Teng's military pay are now thinking about how to return the money that was originally deducted from Prince Teng.
This time the prince returned to Beijing with great success. Wang Ziteng is indeed a ruthless person. And this time he succeeded. After returning to the capital, Wang Ziteng immediately kept a low profile. It's no different than before. But other people's attitude toward him was different.
In Li Miao's view, the rise of Wang Ziteng could not change the fate of the Zheng Dynasty's decline. The combat power of the Beijing camp should have improved a bit. But just like that, it is also unable to resist the invasion of foreign races. What changed was only Wang Ziteng's own destiny.
Of course, it is impossible for Wang Ziteng to use his own capital camp to resist the aliens. Maybe the emperor no longer dares to use Wang Ziteng's capital camp to defend against foreigners.
All this has little impact on Li Miao, but it has a considerable impact on Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang. In fact, their status in Rongguo Mansion has improved. As for the eunuchs in the palace, those who should ask for money still come to ask for money.
The situation in Rongguo Mansion remains the same. After all, Wang Ziteng had inherited the military power of Rong Ning's Second Mansion. The two sisters, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, also completely cut off his financial resources. Almost killed him.
Will Wang Ziteng still be kind to Jia Mansion? It would be nice if you don't step on it. Maybe it was out of consideration for his own official reputation. So Mrs. Wang felt like a mirror.
Mrs. Wang would not ask this brother for any help. Maybe it’s useless to ask. Aunt Xue can't say she has any regrets. Wang Ziteng originally wanted to seize the Xue family property. Is there anything more serious than this for the Xue family?
Annan, a small country in the south, saw internal and external troubles in the Zheng Dynasty. There are alien invasions in the north, and Japanese pirates and pirates are causing trouble in the south. The Zheng Dynasty seemed to be exhausted. Therefore, troops were also raised to invade. I also want to get some benefits and take advantage.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth. The Annan army entered from Guangxi by boat and began to show its fangs towards the Zheng Dynasty. Known as an army of 200,000. The Southern Army had long existed in name only. It was impossible to resist the attack of the small Annan army.
When the imperial court received the urgent report, it immediately became a mess. Now even the small country of Annan is bullying them. The small country of Annan boasts an army of 200,000. Who believes it? The small country of Annan does not know whether there are 200,000 young and strong men in total.
According to reports from spies, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 troops. The small country of Annan is short in stature and they are all infantry. The imperial court is really not afraid, and now they are all scrambling to destroy this wave of troops. What is the example of Wang Ziteng? Many people want to become the second Wang Ziteng.
The key now is who to send, and it stands to reason that Wang Ziteng is the most suitable candidate. But Wang Ziteng himself did not fight. You can't fight for it. It is impossible for the emperor to give him a chance to grow stronger.
This time the emperor did not hesitate again, but made his decision with one word. He directly ordered the general of Prince Nan'an. Ask him to gather 50,000 officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp and set off immediately. The emperor paid attention to Wang Ziteng's reaction. Wang Ziteng didn't react at all.
Now the court wants to send troops to fight. Apart from the Beijing camp, where else can there be an army capable of fighting? Although Wang Ziteng was the military governor of the Beijing camp, he could not command all the troops in the Beijing camp. Unless the emperor nods.
There are many troops in the Beijing camp controlled by the emperor's cronies. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of these armies is still much lower than that of Wang Ziteng's direct troops. On the one hand, Wang Ziteng has a strong ability to lead troops.
In addition, among all the generals in the Zheng Dynasty, who would give money to the army like Wang Ziteng? A general who can avoid deducting military pay is considered a pretty good general. The entire Great Zheng Dynasty may be difficult to find.
The emperor had full consideration in sending the Prince of Nan'an to go on an expedition this time. Prince Nan'an himself was the first noble prince to seek refuge with him. The emperor also wanted to raise merit, and the Nan'an County Prince was of average ability.
It is impossible for the Prince of Nan'an to become the second prince. With such a talent, the emperor can be completely reassured. This is also because the emperor learned from Wang Ziteng's lesson. It is impossible for people to fall into the same trap in the same place.
The soldiers were very quick, and the Prince of Nan'an quickly ordered 50,000 officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp. Set off on the third day. The soldiers were afraid of the Jurchen cavalry. Also afraid of steppe Tatars. But he is really not afraid of the Annan soldiers. With Annan Bing's small physique?
Army morale is available when going on an expedition. The honor of being a man is immediately achieved, and the morale of the soldiers is high. The emperor and all the courtiers were relieved. Li Miao couldn't understand, maybe the fate of Prince Nan'an had also changed.
It turns out that the Prince of Nan'an County was captured alive this time. Li Miao can only wait for the results now. He could not accurately judge the outcome of Prince Nan'an now. The current world of Red Mansions has long been changed beyond recognition.
After more than twenty days, the court waited for the evil retribution ahead. The 50,000 troops led by the Prince of Nan'an fought against the army of the small country of Annan. It collapses at the first touch. The prince of Nan'an County was captured alive by the small country of Annan.
At the same time, nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers surrendered. The remaining officers and soldiers also fled in all directions.
The emperor was dumbfounded, and all the courtiers were completely confused. Li Miao was not surprised at all. This was originally the end of Prince Nan'an. It seems that the fate of Prince Nan'an has not changed.
So, soon the great court meeting began. As a doctor of the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry of the Fifth Grade, Li Miao's position is still somewhat behind. In the end, the court meeting was noisy, and a meeting to criticize the prince of Nan'an County was held.
Li Miao also found it funny at this time. This is the winner and the loser. Some officials even revealed that Prince Nan'an had wet the bed when he was a child. It's really overwhelming. Prince Nan'an has become a shame to the entire Zheng Dynasty.
The incompetence of one general exhausted the three armies. The same incompetence of the three armies also killed the general. Of course, the Prince of Nan'an County must bear the first responsibility for this defeat. But at the same time, we also saw the quality of these 50,000 troops. Even the coach was lost.
According to the military law of the Zheng Dynasty, if the commander is lost, all 50,000 soldiers can be killed. Of course, the law does not hold everyone accountable, so now the Prince of Nan'an County has to take full responsibility. The fault of the Prince of Nan'an County lies in his ignorance of soldiers.
Since the Prince of Nan'an County was captured during the charge. It shows that he overestimated his army. Otherwise, as a coach, how could he not even have a chance to escape? Obviously, the general does not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the general. In addition, the army's combat effectiveness is extremely poor, how can it be invincible?
