"Sun Chuanting, I can't say for sure!"
Chongzhen was a little stunned by Yuan Keli's response.
Sun Chuanting had Chuanting's death and the Ming Dynasty's death, and his evaluation was unparalleled.
Finally, when we arrived at Yuan Keli's place, we couldn't tell!
"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting commands the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army. Their number is almost 200,000. Judging from the military training, they are both civil and military and resourceful.
But judging from the Battle of Longjingguan and the Battle of Grassland, he is good at coordinating and integrating, and has a certain advanced strategic awareness.
The disadvantage is that I haven't fought a big battle alone, so it's hard to say.
Judging from his character, he is steady and steady, no worse than Sun Zushou, Mangui and others. He is well tempered. I think he may be the leader among the generals! If you don't use it well, you can only be a qualified general. "
Chongzhen didn't know much about Sun Chuanting. He only remembered that Sun Chuanting captured Gao Yingxiang, the first generation king of Chuang, and beat Li Zicheng until only eighteen people escaped.
Then at Chongzhen's urging, he fought a decisive battle with Li Zicheng, was defeated and committed suicide by jumping into a well.
The history of the Ming Dynasty gave an evaluation that the Ming Dynasty died when Chuan Ting died.
The most speechless thing is that after Sun Chuanting's death, Chongzhen did not give any gifts, but Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty gave him the title of Zhongjing.
Some people say that if Chongzhen did not urge Sun Chuanting to fight decisively, according to Sun Chuanting's strategy, maybe the rebel army would really be wiped out by him, and the Ming Dynasty might not necessarily be destroyed.
But it is a pity that without if, history cannot repeat itself.
In addition to Yuan Keli's evaluation, Chongzhen also made a decision. In the future, he should pay attention to Sun Chuanting's training. He could not become a qualified general without experiencing bloody battles.
"Your Majesty, let's talk about Mao Wenlong. He has the potential to become a hero, but he is a relatively contradictory person and is not easy to evaluate.
I can only say that he is a qualified general and a prodigy. He is strange, miraculous, and extraordinary. If he uses it well, he is a sharp blade, but if he uses it incorrectly, he can easily hurt himself. "
"Then it depends on whether he is willing to be a knife!"
Chongzhen said lightly.
There are many doubts surrounding Mao Wenlong in history, especially the matter of colluding with the slave builders. You can say that he colluded. Why did he go to Shuangdao and did not resist when Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill him.
You want to say that he did not collude, but there are many historical records that prove it.
"Okay, let's just stop here for the generals. I'll take some time to think about it again!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Hong Chengchou will be promoted to the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War and the left deputy censor of the capital. He will be arranged after the clan affairs are resolved. You should also think about it during this period. How to temper him!”
"I obey the decree!"
After Yuan Keli responded, he continued: "Your Majesty, a lot of troops have been mobilized for this battle, including Jingcheng, Xuanfu, Datong, Yulin, Taiyuan, Hexi Cavalry, etc., scattered in various places. It is not realistic to hold a ceremony to celebrate meritorious service.
The meaning of the cabinet and the six ministries is that the imperial court will send promotion documents, medals, etc. from the provincial censors to each military town, and the commander-in-chief of each town will hold a ceremony to celebrate meritorious service and reward, and local people, gentry, and wealthy businessmen can be invited to watch the ceremony. "
"Okay, you can arrange this matter in a grand manner, so that the soldiers feel that the court takes this matter seriously!
In addition, let the provincial and highway censors check the delivery status of various medals and plaques. Anyone who dares to perfunctory will be directly dealt with as dereliction of duty! "
"I obey the decree!"
Looking at Yuan Keli who was slowly exiting the Dong Nuan Pavilion, Chongzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling the sweetness after the bitter taste of the tea.
"If all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were as dedicated to the court as Yuan Keli, it would be easy for the Ming Dynasty soldiers to sweep across the Eurasian continent, let alone the small slaves."
"Yuan Aiqing, since you are so dedicated, I will not treat you badly. When I get rid of Jiannu, I will give you a great honor!"
"Hong Chengchou, since Yuan Keli recognizes you so much, then I will take this gamble. I hope you will not disappoint me!"
Hong Chengchou's performance in the early stage was really okay, but he was forced to surrender in the later stage.
Qianlong actually came up with a biography of the second ministers, ranking Hong Chengchou among the first among the second ministers.
Over the past two thousand years, many civil servants and generals have surrendered in every dynasty. No emperor would do such a stupid thing.
In Chongzhen's view, this was like eating someone else's food, smashing other pots, and even overturning the table.
He made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and even after his death, he actually said that he was a second minister. He was simply second to none.
After complaining a few words, Chongzhen drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then returned to the Long Case and began to review the memorials.
In the following time, Chongzhen spent relatively leisurely time, attending court, reviewing memorials, and then holding his baby and communicating with the harem.
On this day, after Chongzhen finished approving the memorials, as soon as he arrived outside Kunning Palace, he heard silver bells of laughter coming from inside, and there were also some faint sounds of arguing.
Chongzhen was very surprised. His harem was usually relatively quiet. With the harmony of the elder sister-in-law, the concubines all got along harmoniously.
Especially after Queen Zhou gave birth to a prince, the concubines were even more peaceful, but why were they quarreling today.
After entering the palace, he found that all the girls in the harem were there. Chongzhen asked curiously: "Why are there so many people gathered together today? I seem to have heard an argument outside?"
"I, my concubine, have met your Majesty!"
Chongzhen waved his hand, and when he got closer, he realized the situation. Good guy, there were plates with various ingredients on several tables, and there were two large buckets of soaked rice next to them.
Queen Zhou said softly: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. According to the custom, we have to eat rice dumplings. Several sisters are from different places. Different places have different ways of wrapping rice dumplings, so we started arguing."
"Your Majesty, I am from Yangzhou. There are two kinds of Yangzhou rice dumplings. One is filled with sweet and salty rice dumplings. The sweet one is filled with red beans, candied dates, ginkgo, etc., and the salty one is filled with ham, bacon, shrimp, etc.
One is without filling and is directly wrapped in glutinous rice. "
"Your Majesty, the rice dumplings in Luoyang also have fillings, including lean meat, egg yolks, mushrooms, peanuts and other ingredients. They are characterized by delicateness, sweetness and strong toughness."
"Your Majesty, Suzhou's rice dumplings also have fillings. Bean paste and lard filled with sand are the most famous.
Let’s take this lard sandwich with sand as an example. It uses high-quality red beans, then doubles the sugar and an appropriate amount of fat. When wrapping, add a piece of fat meat. After cooking, it will be crystal clear and beautiful, oily and fragrant! "
"Your Majesty, when it comes to these rice dumplings, you have to look at Guangdong. There is a semi-sweet and half-salty rice dumpling called Yuanyang Zongzi, which satisfies both northern and southern tastes."
…
The girls kept talking with their mouths, but their hands kept moving, and the rice dumplings appeared one by one in their hands.
Chongzhen was speechless when he heard the women arguing about the salty and sweet rice dumplings.
This thing is just like moon cakes and soy milk. There are different ways of eating them in different places. It's called a variety.
Seeing that there were two large barrels filled next to him, Chongzhen said with a smile: "Well, I've taken some orally today, and I have to taste the flavors of various places! But there are so many packages, and it will be wasted if you can't finish them!"
