The Monan War finally ended, Tumut won the final victory, Zhasak Tutumen Khan was defeated and left, and faced with the severe situation of a fire in the backyard, the entire Mongolian situation suddenly changed.
In this war, the one who performed best on the battlefield was undoubtedly Totok Chatterjee. This Jeppe marksman who was nearly fifty years old showed what he once again showed to the world at the end of his fighting career. He is called the number one warrior in Mongolia.
Hannaji, the commander of Tumotexi Post who had never been on the battlefield before, finally rectified his name this time. Although he is not like Chatterji who can advance and retreat freely in battle, he can also be said to be able to maneuver freely. , especially his ability to coordinate the relationship between the Ming and Mongolian armies very well, and also demonstrated the qualities a commander should have.
After all, a warrior only needs to be able to fight, while a commander is required to know more.
But if we want to say who's reputation was truly established by this battle, it would be Gao Jingshi who was entrusted with the title of King Shunyi's all-powerful envoy.
Obviously he was just a conferred imperial envoy, but he did something so great that it was difficult for several provinces to accomplish it!
Following his command, the armies of the five towns of Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi, Jizhen, and Liaodong launched multiple offensives on a front of more than 2,000 miles, successfully disintegrating the Ming Dynasty's hostile forces on the left and right wings of Mongolia. The destruction of the canonization, and at the same time the most determined counterattack, will either destroy or destroy these forces!
Su Bahai and Dong Hu were beheaded by the formation, Chang'ang abandoned Daning, Xin Ai was captured, and Tumen were defeated... These strings and piles, even if they are taken out individually, it is a great achievement, let alone all added together. ?
When the report of the Battle of Huapiling reached the capital, the entire Yanjing City seemed to have been detonated. Shock and ecstasy shocked every Ming citizen, whether officials, soldiers, or traders, as if they had eaten ginseng fruit, and every pore They all exuded joy, and strangers were all smiling when they met.
Hai was quickly beheaded by the formation, and more than half of his 20,000 fine cavalry were lost, and the rest were routed.
Dong Hu's tribe was killed by more than 3,000 people, and more than 4,000 people were captured. More than 20,000 tribal leaders were captured, and the rest were scattered;
The loss of Chang'ang's troops was the smallest, only about a thousand, but he lost a complete Daning, and Qi Jiguang also found a lot of temporarily hidden treasures from Daning City. The current discount is about two to three hundred thousand taels, of which There are even a number of antiques collected from various places during the Yuan Dynasty;
Needless to say, Xin Aibu, except for his son who died in the battle, everyone from himself to his subordinates and subordinates were caught in one sweep, and the entire army was annihilated;
Tumen Khan is not that strong either. The three Duoyan movies left to him by his grandfather and father are now completely disabled, one has become a lost dog, and the remaining one is considered complete, but it is still three. The weakest of the bunch.
As for its important vassal force, the Taining Tribe of Inner Khalkha, due to the death of their leader Subahai in battle, the support of the Tumen in Inner Khalkha has been greatly weakened. Will there be changes in Inner Khalkha in the future, even for them? I'm not even sure.
What made him even more distressed was that Chahar's headquarters lost fifteen thousand elites. This loss made the throne under Tumen's sweating butt even more shaken.
It can be said that even if the Kulitai Conference convened by Tumut does not depose him as the Great Khan, he himself can only lick his wounds honestly, and at least he will not be able to make trouble for a few years.
And in all of this, the discussion of merit must start with high pragmatism!
Gao pragmatic's past glory was mentioned again. The traffickers and stooges remembered that when he was less than ten years old, he cooperated with Liu Xian to subdue the Bailixia bandits and transformed it into the famous Jinghua Trading Company today; the elegant people thought of his crown. He was the sixth number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty; the gentry and celebrities remembered that he had rescued the refugees from Weihui and gained the reputation of being a Buddha among thousands of families; the officials in the capital recalled that he not only put down several rebellions during his tenure as the governor of Guangxi, but even "departed troops to pacify Annan". "...
No matter how much you oppose the pragmatic school, you have to admit that Gao pragmatism is really nothing to say in terms of ability.
One success, no matter how great the success is, may be a fluke, but if it succeeds every time, it cannot be a fluke, it can only be a result of strength.
I don’t know where a saying came out: Wang Wencheng is the king of Wang Xue, and Gao Wen is Zhenggong of Practical Xue. However, there is no successor to Wang Xue, but Gao Longwen is the master of Practical Xue!
When the whole court was discussing it, many officials went to the court to praise their merits and believed that meritorious personnel should be rewarded. The cabinet did not make any votes on this, but submitted the corresponding memorial directly to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Surprisingly, Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun, who always wanted to be rewarded as long as he was pragmatic and meritorious, had no reaction this time, or his reaction was a bit slow. It was not until the third day that he approved a sentence related to this in a certain memorial. He said: "I don't want to reward you, and I don't want to reward you first."
oh……
Now everyone understood the emperor's intention: It's not that I don't want to reward him, I just don't want to reward him before everything is done.
The subtext of this sentence is easy to understand: Although he has made great achievements now, his main task here is still to complete the canonization of King Shunyi. These previous achievements are based on this goal, so if you want to reward him, you must reward him. The merits are complete. I have bowed ninety-nine times. Is there still one last trembling left to do? After completing the canonization and returning to Beijing, the reward will naturally be indispensable!
Okay, now the holy meaning is understood, but for some people, it’s time to make multiple choice questions again.
Should we start preparing to oppose this reward?
If you achieve such a great achievement when you are less than twenty years old, the future... will not be easy.
People who hold this mentality naturally do not admit that they are jealous of talents. In their view, this is not only for the sake of Ming Dynasty, but also for the sake of high pragmatism.
Some people opposed it, but of course there were also people who supported it. Inside the Practical School, they were extremely satisfied with Gao Pragmatic's performance this time. They expressed to Zhang Siwei through various channels, asking him not to stick to "avoiding suspicion." He was so big, and the ability he displayed was so strong that he, as an uncle, could not tolerate being suppressed deliberately because he wanted to avoid suspicion.
Due to time constraints, only the officials of the Real School in and around the capital have time to express such an attitude to Zhang Siwei. However, it can be expected that in ten days and a half, there will be officials from the Real School in the two capitals, thirteen provinces, and all over the country. The official handed the note to the Zhang University Scholar's Office and expressed the same intention to the chief minister.
Zhang Siwei's answers to various officials were consistent, saying that although he was a highly pragmatic uncle, he was first and foremost the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally everything must be discussed first.
He didn't say what he would do, but his attitude was very clear. He supported giving him a reward for his high pragmatic achievements. After receiving the reply, the officials of the Practical School felt relieved.
At this moment, Gao Pangshi himself was quite calm. On the one hand, he ordered all the Ming army departments, except for the troops who had been guarding him from the beginning, to return to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the governors and Fu ministers would be transferred back to their original places; On the one hand, they return with the victorious army.
This time, his goal finally became Guihua City.
