Chapter 286
Seeing the excited expressions of the generals in the tent, Zhu Cixiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "This plan involves our Ming Dynasty's 100,000-strong army. The stakes are very high. No more attempts to escape will be allowed in this battle!"
All the generals shouted loudly: "We will fight to the death to serve our country!"
Zhu Cixi said sternly: "Just talking is not enough. All the generals and generals must issue military orders. Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed immediately!"
"We also need to establish a military order..."
The generals hesitated, especially the generals of the Guan Ning Army. Escape was their specialty, so what if they were not allowed to escape?
Zhu Cixiang looked at Yang Sichang and said, "What do Mr. Yang Ge think?"
Yang Sichang thought for a moment and said: "I think it is feasible. Such a big war is indeed not a trivial matter!"
Yang Sichang was still a little excited. If he won this battle, he might be able to climb up to the position of chief minister of the cabinet through his merits. Then it would be easy for Chen Xinjia, as the supervisor, to join the cabinet and win two birds with one stone.
This battle must be won. This is the tone set by Yang Sichang. Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian understand and agree. With tens of thousands of Tianwu troops present, there is almost no suspense in this battle.
Zhu Cixiang added: "Everyone who leads the army must sign a military order, including me, Governor Chen and Eunuch Gao must sign it. If everyone agrees, then the generals will sign the military order. If they don't agree, then
Just fight each other, our Tianwu Army will move to Shandong tomorrow and fight against Dorgon of Zhengbai Banner!"
How could the Tianwu Army go to Shandong? North Zhili is an important place to defend the capital. Now the war situation has finally improved. If the Qing army breaks the city again, it will be hard for anyone in the court to explain.
The generals saw the firm look on the Crown Prince's face and knew that he was serious. Since the Crown Prince had roped in everyone, the greater the credit, the better. Everyone would benefit, so why not do it.
Chen Xinjia was the first to express his position and said immediately: "I agree with His Highness's suggestion of signing a military order!"
After saying that, Chen Xinjia picked up his pen and started writing the military order, and then signed his name in the second position, leaving the first position for Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cixiang also signed his name in the leader's position with a pen, and the military orders were passed to the commander-in-chief of each town in turn.
Faced with such great achievements, the commander-in-chief of each town signed the order without saying a word. After a while, the military order was filled with all kinds of crooked names.
Yang Sichang did not sign. He did not command the troops, but was only responsible for supervision. Zhu Cixiang did not let him go and asked him to sign as a supervisor.
If Zhu Cixiang wanted to kill people with this thing, he had to kill people convincingly so that no one in the court would say a word of nonsense.
Gao Qiqian didn't want to sign this thing at first, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called his name. He was in charge of Guan Ning's army and wanted to share the credit after the war, so he signed his name without hesitation and continued to show his enthusiasm after it was done.
Thank you Zhu Cixiang for giving him the opportunity.
Zhu Cixiang picked up the military order, blew out the ugly signatures that were not yet dry, and said loudly: "I can really see the loyalty and bravery of the generals. After this battle, I will report to my father who has the greatest credit."
The person is knighted!"
Ennobled! This is like a shot in the arm, stimulating the generals in the tent again.
Except for the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, most of the later emperors could be granted titles only if they were relatives of the emperor. It was extremely rare for military generals to be granted titles based on their military exploits.
In the Ming Dynasty, military generals were promoted all the way up to the second-rank general soldier. Those who made meritorious service among the general soldiers were promoted to the governor-general of one of the five military governors' mansions. They were promoted to the first-rank military commanders. Those with further merit were promoted to the right and left governors of the first-rank.
, the best officer and military general.
Even so, it is extremely difficult to become a knight, even an earl, as it is like a natural chasm that keeps military generals away, let alone a hereditary and irreplaceable title!
In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court held nobility, and the title was of superior rank. All officials of the Ming Dynasty, whether they were the first-rank cabinet bachelor or the second-rank six ministers, as long as they met the princes, princes, princes, princes, and others, they had to stand on the right and bow twice.
Etiquette, people with noble titles only need to pay homage.
The generals in the tent were so excited that it was hard to describe. Everyone wanted to grow wings and fly to the Qing army camp, cut off the heads of Duduo and Jierhalang, and then throw them here when they came back, shouting: "Become a knight."
!”
According to the expected garrison position, the place where the Tianwu Army will go down to the stronghold should be slightly forward. The first thing the Tatars will encounter is the Tianwu Army. As long as the Tatars and the Tianwu Army fight bloody battles, the Guan Ning Army and the Xuanda Army will rush over again, which will be a great achievement.
Look forward to it!
Zhu Cixiang said sternly again: "In this battle, all generals need to work together. If there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and run away in front of the battle, I will not tolerate it!"
The generals in the tent suddenly accepted their orders, and Ma Ke, with swollen eyes, screamed loudly: "The last general will definitely take off that Duduo's head!"
Bai Guangen, who had bruises at the corners of his mouth, also said: "I have booked Najir Harang's head!"
The commanders of the three towns of Xuanda couldn't help but curl their lips. You are usually the fastest runner, so you still have the nerve to talk nonsense?
However, Ma Ke and others were still a little worried, especially Bai Guangen, who was known as the divine fortune teller. After counting with his fingers, he had a premonition that something was not good this time. As for what was not good, he could not find it out. It was a kind of inexplicable explanation.
a feeling of.
Bai Guangen suddenly said: "Your Highness, I have a request. Please give me a dragon flag of the Tianwu Army."
The generals were all human beings, and they immediately knew what Bai Guangen meant. He was trying to use the Tianwu Army's flag to frighten the Tatars. After all, the Tatars saw the Tianwu Army's dragon flag and ran away.
Ma Ke also said: "I would also like to ask Your Highness to give you a dragon flag."
The generals of the other towns were all rushing to ask for the dragon flag. They saw with their own eyes how frightened the Tatars were when facing the Tianwu Army, and they also wanted to add insurance to themselves.
Although the proposal was a bit embarrassing, the generals in each town didn't take it seriously. If there were no Tianwu troops around, they would be a little scared. If a dragon flag was planted on the camp, the Tatars would not dare to cause trouble.
Zhu Cixi shook his head and said: "No, the military flag is the symbol of our Tianwu Army, how can it be given to others!"
Several generals of the Guan Ning Army winked at Gao Qiqian. They gave Eunuch Gao money many times, expecting that the supervisor would put in a good word for them in the name of the money.
Gao Qiqian was indeed a man who used money to do things. He smiled and said: "Your Highness, do you think you can give me three dragon flags?"
Zhu Cixiang stared at him for a long time, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and finally said: "Gao Banban acts as the royal governor. It is indeed not an exaggeration to use the dragon flag. I will give Gao Banban two dragon flags."
Just as Gao Qiqian was about to fight for something more, Zhu Cixiang waved his hand resolutely, telling him not to say anything.
Gao Qiqian was given two dragon flags, which was equivalent to giving to Guan Ning's army. As for how they divided it, Zhu Cixiang didn't bother to care. He wished they would fight each other and hold grudges. It would be best if two peaches kill three soldiers, so that he can save himself.
Gao Qiqian could only say gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the flag."
The Crown Prince is partial! This is the sentiment of all Xuanda officers and men.
Without the old eunuch to speak, if he spoke shamelessly, he would only bring humiliation to himself. The generals of Xuanda were very angry and felt that they had suffered a loss. At the same time, they despised the generals of Guan Ning Army for being the lackeys of the old eunuch.
