"Your Majesty, great news! Your Majesty, what a great victory!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, rushed in happily with a report.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair. Without saying a word, he took the memorial presented to him, quickly unfolded it, and read it ten lines at a time.
Min Hongxue, who was leaning on the bed, his eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the memorial in Emperor Chongzhen's hand.
"Hahaha, okay, okay!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a relieved laugh after reading, "Sir, you are indeed a great talent, a great talent!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and handed the memorial to Min Hongxue, and at the same time said happily: "Sir, you are like a god with your troops. You ambush the strange soldiers in advance. The rebels led by Zuo Liangyu will be determined in one battle. Happy, haha, happy!"
Determined by one battle? Instead of taking it slow and steady? Min Hongxue was a little curious after hearing this, so he immediately read the memorial.
On the other side, Wang Chengen's face was also full of smiles. He took out another memorial and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial of Princess Kunxing!"
"Oh?" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen quickly took the memorial and read it.
My daughter is there and I can understand the situation in more detail. To be honest, he somewhat admired his foresight!
In this memorial written by Zhu Yuluo, because it was only for Emperor Chongzhen to see, the details of the entire war, especially the distinctive features, are described.
Emperor Chongzhen found it a bit strange and established a special staff team, which was called the staff department in later generations. There were special military positions in the army. This seemed to be a very good thing.
However, my husband seemed to say that it is best for various staff members to have specialized training and be important assistants to the coach. So should this be promoted in the military?
My husband even lamented privately that the most inconvenient thing in this era is communication. If you have a mobile phone, that would be the best!
…………
After reading this, Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorial and recalled in his mind the scene when he saw the images on his husband's mobile phone. How enviable!
He was sighing with emotion. Min Hongxue had also finished reading the memorial, and he was very relieved. It was really a battle, and he defeated the rebels led by Zuo Liangyu. Although Zuo Liangyu and Hou Xun were not caught, it is foreseeable that Zuo Liangyu will not be able to cause any trouble for a long time.
Thinking of this, he was a little worried. In this battle, Zuo Liangyu was indeed cheating. If it weren't for the surprise force reserved in Xinle City, the pursuing imperial army would have been ambushed by Zuo Liangyu's rebels. From this, it seems that Zuo Liangyu is also cunning!
Min Hongxue closed the memorial, but his mind was still on the good news.
Although defeating Zuo Liangyu's rebels in one battle seemed very satisfying and a hearty victory, this battle was actually dangerous. In the next war, will we have such good luck instead of the enemy being better?
To be honest, Min Hongxue was really worried when he thought about this. Especially when facing the famous Zuo Liangyu, he could be defeated so easily. The ordinary people must be very happy to come, as it will greatly increase the court's reputation.
However, the most important thing is, will Duke Xingguo and his soldiers be proud of this, thinking that they can defeat Zuo Liangyu so easily, and other bandits are certainly no better than this, so the arrogant soldiers will be defeated. ?
Thinking of this, Min Hongxue remembered the anxiety he felt when he was questioned by the emperor just now, so he made a decision and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a great victory!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard what Min Hongxue said, he also retracted his thoughts, smiled and nodded: "Yes, such a great victory should be reported to the world immediately!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court should reward the troops." When Min Hongxue said this, he changed the subject and immediately continued, "In addition, the Duke should be reminded that the soldiers are dangerous and dangerous, and he must be cautious in any battle. Engage!”
Emperor Chongzhen was nodding his head. When he heard what he said next, he immediately shook his head and said, "This is unnecessary!"
Upon hearing this, Min Hongxue became a little anxious and immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this great victory that there may be hidden dangers!"
After finishing speaking, seeing Emperor Chongzhen looking a little disapproving, he immediately added: "The veteran has been recommended by the Duke and is used by your majesty. I will go to great lengths to repay the emperor's favor. I just feel it in my heart. It has a bearing on the success or failure of the war. It is not the veteran's opinion of the emperor." The Duke has an opinion, so he has to say it!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face became serious, and he nodded slightly, acknowledging Min Hongxue's words, and then said to him: "If Min Qing thinks that Sir will be careless because of this, he is overly worried!"
"Your Majesty!" When Min Hongxue heard this, he felt that the emperor was deceived by this great victory, so he emphasized his tone and said, "This great victory was so smooth. At the age of the Duke, there are still veteran ministers watching the Duke's past. I am too sharp, I am afraid that this great victory will make the Duke..."
"Hahaha..." Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing when he heard this. The laughter made Min Hongxue a little stunned, so that he swallowed the rest of his words.
To be honest, even if you are an emperor, doing this is a bit rude.
Emperor Chongzhen obviously knew this, because he quickly suppressed his smile and said to Min Hongxue with a smile: "Min Qing is worried too much. Do you know what Sir did before and after the war?"
"Old minister, I don't know!" Upon hearing this, Min Hongxue stared at the memorial in Emperor Chongzhen's hand. He knew that it must be what the memorial said.
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Then I can tell you that before the war, sir, he established a special staff..."
Min Hongxue couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. If you don't know the age of the Duke, you will definitely think that the Duke is an old strategist with many years of war experience. Even the post-war summary was rare in being open-minded and neither arrogant nor impatient!
Considering the Duke's age, how did he do it? And where did he learn such a safe way of doing things? If you follow the Duke's approach and do it right, it will be difficult to win the battle. In future wars, the true strength of the two armies will be revealed!
While he was thinking this, Emperor Chongzhen had already finished speaking and asked Min Hong Xuedao with a smile: "So, is Min Qing still worried?"
"I admire you! The Duke thinks about Zhou Xiang more than I do!" Min Hongxue heard the question and told the truth.
Although he leads troops to fight and also leads staff, it is absolutely impossible for him to do something as targeted as the Duke of Guo. As for the post-war war, they will not convene the generals to analyze everyone's gains and losses and then make a summary.
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard what he said.
The more powerful Zhang Mingwei is, the more wise and powerful he will be if he uses Zhang Mingwei in an unusual way. Zhu Yuluo's memorial made him feel relieved that Zhang Mingwei would continue to lead the troops in the war.
On the way back to the palace, Emperor Chongzhen even had an idea. I wonder if people in future generations will all be as talented and learned as Mr. Wang? Is it because of differences in reading and thinking about problems that talents emerge in large numbers?
This is a question, and you should think about it carefully!
As he was thinking this, Min Hongxue was also seriously thinking about Duke Xingguo's way of doing things. Because with his many years of experience, he keenly felt that the Duke's way of doing things could actually be promoted. Is it time for some innovations in Ming Dynasty?
………………
"Retreat, retreat, the traitors are retreating!" On top of Kaifeng City, the soldiers guarding the city cheered happily when they saw all the traitors retreating.
They had repelled the sieges of Li Zicheng's thieves countless times. Looking at the corpses outside the city, the defenders couldn't help but be happy.
Unlike them, Kaifeng guard Chen Yongfu did not smile. Instead, he looked worriedly outside the city.
This is the third time that Li Zicheng's thieves have attacked Kaifeng. Even though he shot out one of his eyes and taught him a lesson, they still come to Kaifeng. It can be seen that Li Zicheng is determined to win the city of Kaifeng. .
Moreover, the bandit army attacking Kaifeng this time was Li Zicheng's bandit army, combined with Luo Rucai's bandit army. They were known as millions, and they were determined to defeat it. This time it was much more difficult to get the bandits to retreat than the previous two times.
Before the war began, the imperial court sent people to remind them that the rebels would reopen the city in May.
Regarding this, Chen Yongfu and Henan's censor Gao Mingheng were both a little surprised. The bandit army would really attack Kaifeng in May. Where did this news come from?
After the two of them discussed it, they decided whether to believe it or not. Therefore, cloud towers were added, gunpowder was stored, forts were erected, flying stones were added, and they were carefully distributed to consolidate the city defense.
Speaking of which, this was also thanks to the national policy of keeping taxes in the local area, so the consolidation of city defense went relatively smoothly. Perhaps because of the lessons learned from King Fu of Luoyang, King Zhou of Kaifeng was more open-minded and provided a lot of money and food during this period.
However, what I didn't expect was that hundreds of thousands of bandits arrived just as soon as they announced. They originally planned to wait until the food outside the city was ripe before harvesting, but they were robbed by the bandits.
Of course, Chen Yongfu is definitely aware of the importance of food. Therefore, at that time, he personally led the troops out of the city and fought with the thieves to collect food.
Unexpectedly, the rebels later stopped harvesting grain and instead burned the grain fields without giving the city a chance.
Chen Yongfu hated this very much, but he couldn't do anything about it. There are only more than ten thousand troops in the city. They can resist the city and defend it, but they can't go out to compete with the bandits in the wild.
Several rounds of messengers have been sent to the imperial court for help, but there has been no news until now. However, they have learned another very bad news. Zuo Liangyu's troops rebelled against the imperial court, which made the situation even worse.
Even Chen Yongfu could imagine that the imperial court might be powerless in rescuing Kaifeng, right?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone beside him exclaim: "Look, someone is riding over here!"
