Chapter 211(1/2)
Time passed until mid-August, when Yuan Chonghuan led Guanning elites to chase after him, it was not until Huang Taiji crossed the Daling River in the north that Yuan Chonghuan stopped.
In fact, from the overall situation, the results of the Guanning Army in the Battle of Daling River were limited.
The 3,000 Mongolian army and a 3,000-strong Jiannu army were defeated, but Huang Taiji ran away.
Running without a trace.
Compared with the military achievements of the Tianxiong Army, it is much worse.
But, reward!
And there are many rewards!
Why?
Because we want to raise our military power!
The Ming army has been suppressed and beaten for so many years. This time, both armies have made contributions, and Huang Taiji escaped and Yizhou was recovered.
It is just right to take this opportunity to build confidence in the army.
But there is one problem that must be dealt with, which is Wu Xiang’s problem.
On August 14, Wu Xiang met Yuan Chonghuan.
He beautified what happened during this period, and Yuan Chonghuan did not deal with Wu Xiang at all.
There is a reason for this.
1. Yuan Chonghuan did not know that Wu Xiang had the intention of treason.
Although Wu Xiang was defeated, from Yuan Chonghuan's perspective, he did not want to punish Wu Xiang immediately because Liaodong lacked people.
The military and political affairs of Liaodong have finally improved slowly in recent years, and the situation is barely stable. If Wu Xiang is moved now, who will do the General of Jinzhou?
Who can control the group of soldiers under Wu Xiang?
This is a question that Yuan Chonghuan should consider in this position.
Once the military and political chaos in his jurisdiction will affect his plan to pacify Liao in five years.
Therefore, he did not deal with Wu Xiang.
2. Yuan Chonghuan didn't know that Wu Xiang escaped at the last minute.
Zhang Chun and Hei Yunlong were gone, and their troops were all dispersed.
If you try your best, you will be defeated normally and the crime will be much lighter.
Because victory or defeat is common in military affairs, few people can guarantee that they will not fail in their lives.
If you lose the battle, you will be punished severely. This lack of human favor management can easily cause unstable people's hearts.
But if Wu Xiang escaped at the last minute, or the commander made a low-level mistake, it would be a serious crime.
Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou have not known that Wu Xiang escaped at the last minute.
On the afternoon of August 14th, a piece of news reached Dalinghe City.
What news?
Lu Xiang ascended into Jinzhou City and tied up Wu Xiang's son Wu Sanfeng.
As soon as the news reached Dalinghe City, it immediately caused a storm.
The relationship between the Beijing Guards and the Guanning Army was extremely sensitive. At this time, such a thing happened. When the officers of the Guanning Army heard about it, they immediately became furious.
However, only Wu Xiang became scared.
He had a question in his mind, why did Lu Xiangsheng tie his son?
What happened in Jinzhou?
Could it be that his son has taken action against Lu Xiangsheng?
This is bad. If Lu Xiangsheng knew that he was going to rebel, he would be done!
When Wu Xiang thought of this, he felt cold sweat.
He immediately asked Yuan Chonghuan for instructions, and then quickly rushed back to Jinzhou City with his 8,000 elite troops.
When he arrived at Jinzhou City, he found that Jinzhou City had changed its defenses.
Now Wu Xiang is in chaos and his base camp is taken down.
However, after the chaos in Fangcun, Wu Xiang immediately came to his senses and turned to Zu Dashou to complain.
When Zu Dashou heard this, his temper came to Jinzhou with 10,000 people.
So, 18,000 Guanning Army immediately surrounded Jinzhou.
For a moment, Jinzhou City was full of clouds, and it was almost time for its own people to fight.
If this really starts a fight, who will be the first to be punished?
That’s right, Liaodong Supervisor!
When Yuan Chonghuan heard that Zu Dashou had brought his troops to Jinzhou, he quickly came to put out the fire.
After Yuan Chonghuan came, he did nothing else and scolded Zu Dashou first.
Zu Dashou laughed and said, "Sir Yuan, Lu Xiangsheng, who was catching people in our territory, I can't swallow this tone!"
"You have to figure out the situation first! Why did Lu Xiangsheng arrest people in Jinzhou!"
Zu Dashou has a bad temper. No one in the Liaodong army dared to do anything to him, and even spoke to him politely.
Except for Yuan Chonghuan.
Zu Dashou was scolded and touched his head and smiled bitterly: "Aren't I negotiating?"
"You are not negotiating here. You surround the city first and then negotiate. You are negotiating! Call all the men back quickly. If this matter is a big deal, no one will end up well today!"
"Okay! Listen to you!"
Wu Xiang said aside: "Supervisor, Lu Xiangsheng..."
"I'm going into the city now, you're all waiting here!"
Yuan Chonghuan was about to enter the city, but the emperor's eunuch Gao Qiqian happened to arrive.
Gao Qiqian was originally going to Dalinghe City to give Yuan Chonghuan the ship imperial edict. When he saw how many people were outside Jinzhou City, he saw that he was here, hehe, General Yuan was here.
This is interesting. It’s such a coincidence that there is no need to rush to Dalinghe City.
"Supervisor."
"High school official, why did you come to Jinzhou?"
"I came to pass the message to the supervisor on his orders, and your Majesty has an imperial edict."
Yuan Chonghuan and others immediately knelt on the ground.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: The Liaodong governor Yuan Chonghuan defeated Jiannu, and was given great contributions to the crown prince Taibao. The general Zu Dashou shared his worries and killed the enemy. He was given great contributions to the left governor, the brave marquis, and his mother's wife, and the Zu family's loyalty and martyrdom imperial plaque."
When Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou heard this, they were filled with joy.
Unexpectedly, the emperor sent the reward imperial edict so quickly.
Wu Xiang, who was on the other hand, felt relieved when he heard the emperor rewarding Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou.
He is Zu Dashou's brother-in-law, equivalent to Zu Dashou's man. Now that the emperor has granted Lord Zu Dashou, his position will certainly be more stable.
"I wish you all thanks the Lord Long's kindness, long live long live long!"
Zu Dashou was so excited.
The highest position of military generals is the left governor, and Mao Wenlong was also named the left governor by Tianqi back then.
The Lord above the left governor.
This is the actual aristocratic title, the dream of countless military generals.
Not many people named lords in the Ming Dynasty, mainly concentrated in the Zhu Yuanzhang era and the Zhu Di era, and very few of them were later.
Unless he is a relative of the outside world, such as Zhou Kui's identity.
It was definitely something he dared not think of before.
The biggest difference between a title and a left governor is that the title can be passed down from generation to generation, and the salary and status are very high.
Not only that, Zu Dashou's mother was also granted the title of Lady of the Imperial Palace.
With this, Zu Dashou's favor for the emperor was overwhelmed.
And what about Yuan Chonghuan?
Prince Taibao!
What is the Prince's Taibao?
It is one of the three men.
The third prince is: the Grand Master and the Grand Master Taibao.
