Chapter 210 Good News and Great Court Meeting
"May I ask the governor Wang, why don't my Ming Dynasty win the army?" Zhang Yong asked without hesitation when he saw Wang Xianggan. He had no favors for Wang Xianggan. This guy served as the governor of Xuanda twice, but he did not make any money.
Similarly, as a figure in the Donglin Party, Wang Xianggan had no affection for the little eunuch in front of him. He replied: "The guest army cannot enter the city, it is the system of my great Ming ancestor! If Eunuch Zhang, you can get the imperial edict, I will never stop you!"
"We have the Shangfang sword and the silver arrows. Can we let the brothers enter the city?" Zhang Yong asked again.
Wang Xianggan still refused to give in and sneered: "What can Shangfang sword and silver arrows be able to control officials below the fourth rank! I am a dignified second-rank governor! Unless there is an imperial edict from His Majesty and an imperial edict from the cabinet, I will never want to open the city and let the guest army enter the city!"
Zhang Yong no longer argued with Wang Xianggan, the old stubborn man. It was meaningless to argue with such a person, and he could only waste his talk. Moreover, Shangfang Sword and Silver Token did not restrict such a second-rank civil servant. In fact, Shangfang Sword, let alone a second-rank civil servant, and military generals above the third-rank military officer could not restrict it. Yuandudu killed Mao Wenlong, which was illegal. Because it was a false imperial edict, Mao Wenlong would surrender. If Yuandudu just pulled out Shangfang Sword and did not false imperial edict, Mao Wenlong would not be able to avoid him at all.
Since this old stubborn person was unhealthy, Zhang Yong ordered the factory guards to release carrier pigeons and use flying pigeons to report the situation to the Jinyiwei yamen in the capital.
Feige delivers letters very fast. He released pigeons in the morning, and Tian Ergeng, who was in the Jinyiwei yamen, had already received the letter in the afternoon. Feige delivers letters fast, but because the pigeons are easily lost, so to be on the safe side, Feige sends letters, he needs to release more than a dozen or even dozens of pigeons at a time. This has a problem: the letters carried by the pigeons can easily fall into the hands of the enemy. But now there is no need to worry at all. With the password letters created by Zhang Yong, even if the opponent picks up the letters, it cannot be deciphered.
The password letter "invented" by Zhang Yong is somewhat similar to the telegrams in later generations. It consists of four numbers and requires a password to translate the numbers into text, so that you don't have to worry about the letter falling into the hands of the enemy or political enemies.
Fei Ge sent the letter to the Jinyiwei Yamen, and was immediately translated into a letter and delivered to Jiu Qiansui.
"My uncle is here, and my nephew Zhang Yong relies on His Majesty's power to revive the Wei Lijian of the Revival, and the Miaomo of the Lijian of the Liaojian Army. Since the Fengjibao victory, Lin Danhan took the opportunity to attack the Korqin Tartar city Gerjuergen. His nephew and his elder brother Gao Shixin led our army to send troops to Gerjuergen to assist Lin Danhan in attacking Jiannu. Our army went deep into the Korqin grassland for more than a thousand miles and fought for more than twenty days. He fought for more than twenty days. He beheaded more than 80,000, and killed Korqin Taijioba, and captured the ninth level of the head of the King Beile Prince of Korqin. Our army returned triumphantly. Unfortunately, Lin Danhan was afraid of Jiannu, and the captive chief Mangguertai led more than 10,000 Jiannu to reinforce Gerjuergen, and Lin Danhan fled in a hurry. Our army had to retreat and killed more than 2,000 Zhennu on the way back."
"Hahaha!" Wei Zhongxian laughed, "Yongwazi, Brother Gao, you two really give our parents a face!"
Then Wei Zhongxian asked someone to prepare the four treasures of the study and wrote a good news to send it to the palace.
"Okay! OK! That's great! I didn't expect that Zhang Baobao can not only make so many fun things for me, but also lead troops to fight!" The little carpenter smiled so much that his mouth couldn't close. "Wei Daban, pass it on, and the grand ceremony will meet tomorrow morning!"
For this great victory, the little carpenter planned to give up his beloved carpenter work tomorrow morning and prepare to set up a grand court meeting.
The next morning, the dynasty meeting began. The civil and military officials entered the square in front of Huangji Gate and stood in two teams. The little carpenter's imperial lord came out from behind Huangji Gate and sat on the dragon chaise that had been placed long ago. Jiu Qiansui and Wang Titan were on the left and right, standing on both sides behind the little carpenter. Behind the little carpenter there was an Embroidered Uniform Guard with an umbrella and an Embroidered Uniform Guard with a fan.
After the Minister of War Zhang Quan finished reading the good news, all the civil and military officials in the morning court opened their mouths wide and gasped. No one said a word for a long time.
This is simply crazy. Since the rise of Jiannu in Liaodong, the Ming army has lost more than wins, and even if it can behead hundreds of them, it will be a great victory. However, after the emergence of Eunuch Zhang and Gao Shixin, two people, emerged, there were great victory after another. The beginning of Gao Shixin's fame, even if the Battle of Sarhu, turned the originally defeated Battle of Sarhu into a victory of killing hundreds of Jiannu. After that, there were several consecutive victories, killing more enemies at one time, from hundreds to thousands, to tens of thousands, and now he has beheaded 80,000, and even Oba Taiji has killed!
Although the value of the head level of these Mongolian Tartars is much lower than that of the Jiannu level, the original combat effectiveness of the Tatars has increased sharply since the Korchin Tartars followed Jiannu, but this time it was a miracle that he had killed so many of them by Gao Shixin and Zhang Yong.
After a long time, Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, came to his senses and was the first to kneel down and shouted loudly: "The great victory in the grassland depends on the great blessing of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! The right people are used, and the soldiers are brave enough to take the lead! My Ming Dynasty is full of hope!"
Yan Mingtai, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, also knelt down quickly and shouted long live.
A group of censors who were dissatisfied with the Donglin Party, led by Cui Chengxiu, Liu Zhixuan, Yang Weiyuan, etc., also knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise! The revival of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner! Long live my emperor!"
But at this time, the disharmonious voice came out. Donglin Party member and Taichang Temple Minister Hou Xun stood up and knelt on the ground, refuting Wei Zhongxian's good news with righteousness: "Your Majesty! Gao Shixin and Zhang Yong's report may be false. First, the Fengjibao victory was defeated and more than 10,000 Jiannu was killed. Then, only 10,000 cavalry sent troops to the grassland, and even the captive chief Obama was killed. I thought that these two people might kill innocent people indiscriminately and kill good people and make merits. I dared to ask Your Majesty to send officials from the Ministry of War to Datong to check the authenticity of the head!"
As soon as Hou Xun's words came out, the Donglin Party members responded one after another. Almost all the voices of the Donglin Party in the court were all questioned the merits of Zhang Yong and Gao Shixin. As the Donglin Party members shouted, a group of nobles, including the British Duke Zhang Weixian, and Zhu Chunchen, also stood on the side of the Donglin Party and questioned the merits of Zhang Yong and Gao Shixin.
In the eyes of those nobles, military generals like Gao Shixin who had become the Jinyiwei halfway and surrendered to eunuchs were simply a scum among the warriors. As for Zhang Yong, although he was injured on the battlefield and forced to be a father-in-law, he should not be deceived by evil words, and he also got very close to witches like Concubine Zheng and Li Xuanshi. Therefore, the nobles stood with the Donglin Party and attacked Zhang Yong and Gao Shixin.
Although there were still some voices against the Donglin Party, the voice was very weak. Except for a few low-level censors who were fighting against a group of senior officials of the Donglin Party and a group of nobles, it was the officials of the Jinyiwei who helped Gao Shixin and Zhang Yong speak.
Wei Zhongxian's face looked a little ugly, and he also felt a little incredible. It must be his two nephews who lied to report. At this time, he considered whether to help his nephew hide it or to agree to the Ministry of War to send someone to investigate. If his two nephews falsely reported their military achievements, then Wei Zhongxian would oppose the investigation and he had to protect his two nephews. But what if it was true? If it was not sent to verify, wouldn't it be a guilty thief?
"Wei Daban," the little carpenter turned his head, "Is the good news reported by Yongwazi?"
Jiu Qiansui quickly knelt on the ground: "The emperor is wise, and it is indeed the incompetent nephew of my servant."
