Chapter 172 Two good news

Zhu Youcheng did not bring the soldiers into the city. Cangzhou is a small city after all, and there are enough soldiers in the city and there are no open space to camp. Anyway, the weather is not too cold, so Zhu Youcheng set up the camp next to the north gate of Cangzhou, which is considered to be a guarding the north gate.

The gates of Cangzhou, which had not been opened for a long time, finally opened. People hiding in the city to take refuge, returned home one after another, and could not help but make a sound of sadness. It turned out that when they returned home, they found that their relatives who had not had time to hide had been massacred by bandits, and many of their houses were also destroyed. Everyone was sad and every household was mourning.

Hearing the crying, many Jinyiwei, who felt a little guilty because of the killing too much, were wiped out the apology in his heart. Lord Zhu was right, punishing evil is promoting good. If these wild beasts that are not produced and will only be destroyed, how can the people live and work in peace?

In the prefect's yamen, Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping were settled. Cangzhou City has been preserved and must report victory to the court, but it is a problem to divide the military achievements from this battle. If he has divided it too much, Zhu Youcheng is dissatisfied, and both of them will be in trouble. Thinking about the scary official titles on Zhu Youcheng, it is enough for the two of them to drink a pot. Although Xu Ruzhi is the prefect, he is the prefect of a prefect in a prefecture under the Hejian Prefecture. Although he is one of the seventh-rank magistrates, he is just a sesame and mung bean official for the Beijing officials. If he offended Zhu Youcheng, then prepare to go home to eat old rice. If he has divided it less, he is a little unwilling to accept it. Zhu Youcheng has clearly divided some of his military achievements to himself. Wouldn't that be a fool?

The two bit their teeth and stomped their feet and finally reported a huge number - killing fifty enemies and capturing fifty enemies. This is already a lot. They basically didn't do much to go out to tie people. They divided too many things, so Zhu Youcheng was not in a hurry, and the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command had to worry.

After a while, Zhu Youcheng led King Xin, Chen Guoqi, Wu Huping, and Ke Qingqing to the banquet.

Xu Ruzhi handed the memorial to Zhu Youcheng and said, "Prince Lang Yazheng."

The meaning of asking the top scholar Lang Yazheng is to ask Zhu Youcheng to help him modify the memorial, but since ancient times, literati have despised each other. He did not want Zhu Youcheng to help him revise his composition, but just asked him tactfully whether it would be possible to report his military achievements in this way.

Zhu Youcheng understood the memorial carefully, took the memorial, looked at it with a glance, put the memorial on the coffee table, and said, "It seems inappropriate to report the military achievements like this."

Lu Ping felt sad. He wanted to report his military achievements not only for himself. He sacrificed many soldiers when defending the city. The Ming Dynasty's pension was not high, so he reported more military achievements, and the court issued a bounty to help the lives of his relatives.

Xu Ruzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, my mansion's hands are a little shaking. It's not that I kill fifty enemies or capture fifty enemies, but that I kill the enemies, and capture a total of fifty enemies."

Zhu Youcheng shook his head again.

"So twenty?"

Zhu Youcheng still shook his head.

"Ten?"

When Zhu Youcheng saw Xu Ruzhi as petty as a hawker, he couldn't help but feel funny and said, "Mr. Xu seems to have forgotten one thing. You have to kill thousands of enemies who have been in the lonely city for more than half a month. How can you forget this matter when you win the victory."

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping looked at each other and smiled, taking advantage of Zhu Youcheng, and even forgot the credit that originally belonged to him. That was a considerable military achievement.

“As for today—”

Zhu Youcheng delayed his voice, and Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping's hearts were in his throat.

"When the reinforcements came, Lu Ping, the prefect Xu Ruzhihe, came to the garrison, cooperated with the inside and outside, and fought bravely to kill the enemy. A total of 7,302 enemies were killed and 7,739 enemies were captured."

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping were both stunned, almost thinking that they had heard it wrong. With such great military achievements, let alone pensions for the survivors, even the money was paid to rebuild Cangzhou.

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping thanked each other very much.

Zhu Youcheng also asked the two to engrave the list of the fallen soldiers on a bronze plaque, preparing to take them to Beijing after the quell of rebellion in Cangzhou, and worship them in the Ming Dynasty Warriors Temple.

At this moment, Xu Ruzhi's memorial and Zhu Youcheng's report of the warrants were sent to Beijing in a hurry through the post station. It took Zhu Youcheng five days to lead the Jinyiwei south to arrive from Beijing to Cangzhou. The report of the warrants was sent to the 600 miles. Every time the sender arrived at a post station, he would change to a fast horse. In this way, the speed was much faster than a single person and riding alone. It took less than a day to deliver the letter to the Ministry of War.

Gao Di, the Minister of War, estimated that Zhu Youcheng should have arrived in Cangzhou now, and might have entered the city and joined the Cangzhou defenders, and use the city to consume the living power of the rioters. After all, the rioters are in great power, and it is impossible to quickly quell the rioters without heavy troops.

When he heard that the postman from Cangzhou sent an urgent report, Gao suddenly collapsed on his chair. After that, Zhu Youcheng was defeated. As soon as he arrived in Cangzhou, he sent an urgent report. There were only two reasons: one was that he was afraid of the battle and asked to withdraw his troops. Although Zhu Youcheng was a little rogue, he was also the top scholar in civil and military affairs, and he volunteered to be afraid, so he was unlikely to be afraid. The second was that he was defeated and asked for reinforcements. Most of the war lasted for a long time, and he fought casually for one or two months, or even a few years, which was a common thing. How could he report it to the Ministry of War 600 miles as soon as the war started. Eighty percent of it was because Zhu Youcheng underestimated the enemy and was ambushed by the enemy. The reason why Gao Di was unwilling to borrow a tiger squat cannon to Zhu Youcheng was because he was afraid that he would fail and the cannon fell into the hands of the enemy.

The postman was in the hall and reported loudly: "Report to the master of the ministry, Cangzhou has sent good news!"

Gao Di said listlessly, "Come on."

He suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What?"

The postman stepped forward, took out two memorials from the enquiry bag and placed them on the desk, and replied: "Good news. Written by Lord Xu, the governor of Cangzhou, and Lord Zhu, the governor of the Xifusi Town of Jinyiwei."

The two of them wrote good news at the same time, proving that there was a great victory on the front line and it could not have been fabricated.

Gao Di hurriedly opened Xu Ruzhi's memorial and finished reading it. He was shocked by the tragic battle of Cangzhou and the number of military achievements behind him. Especially when he saw that the battle of relief only took a long time, two words popped out of his mouth: "Monster!"

Gao Di opened Zhu Youcheng's memorial again. Zhu Youcheng's memorial was very long. The first part was to analyze the reason why the uprising of Wuzhan was so popular. It was said that the Ming Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, and the space of many bandits and bandits was extremely compressed. Everyone saw hope and tried to grab a big deal, so they gathered together to form a robbery gang of more than 50,000 people. The middle part detailed the significance of defeating the gang of Wuzhan. One is to let the big one

The people of Ming Dynasty looked at the combat power of the army and shocked those who were ill-behaved. The second is that the Busan Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud-Tun Mud

Gao Di was so proud that he took the memorial and went to the Forbidden City to report the good news. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
