Chapter 328 Cao Bianjiao to vote
Chapter 328 of the main text of the Ming Dynasty, the most ruthless bandit, Cao Bianjiao came to join Jiannu. Since the arrival of the pass, the Forbidden City has been shrouded in a tense and uneasy atmosphere. All eunuchs, palace maids, etc. are as good as walking on thin ice and trembling. Even the cabinet masters who come and go to the palace every day always look cautious.
Zhu Youjian was angry every day. As long as military information was sent to the palace, Zhu Youjian would inevitably be furious. The news of the fall of Longmenkou, the fall of Dushikou Fort, the Desheng Fort, the kitchen fort, and then to the fall of various prefectures and counties made him more angry day by day.
Especially after learning that Baoan City fell, Zhu Youjian scolded everyone who appeared in front of him, as well as Governor General Xuanda General General and General Guerrilla Guards, etc., and he smashed all the things that could be moved in Hongde Hall, and he almost demolished the hall.
Just a few days later, Zhu Youjian, who had not slept peacefully for a long time, stared at Wen Tiren and other powerful ministers below in Hongde Hall with red eyes. When they wanted to come up with a countermeasure, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, and a eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Emperor, great victory, great victory..."
Zhu Youjian stood up, widened his eyes and looked straight at the palace gate.
Wen Tiren and other court officials also turned around and looked at the eunuch who was almost crawling in in surprise.
"Original, great victory, great victory!"
"The Shanxi Guerrilla Qin Chuan led his army from Ningwu Pass to the north, first defeated a partial army of Dongnuying Hongqi in Mayi, and then defeated Dongnuying Hongqi Gushan Ezhen Wanyan Yechen, 50 miles east of Mayi, and then went east to Shanyin County, defeating Dongnu Dabeile Daishan and Yuetuo father and son."
"At this point, Qinchuan won all four battles, and they all won a great victory. He beheaded more than 10,000 yuan and captured the Eastern slave generals such as Gushan Ezhen Wanyan Yechen..."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian's expression froze, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow.
The court officials below also looked weird. No one dared to say good or no one dared to say bad.
"Why is it Qin Chuan again!"
After a while, Zhu Youjian said something inexplicably, and then sat back on the dragon chaise, with the expression on his face very complicated.
The Xuanda border army had more than 100,000, and Liaodong reinforcements had more than 20,000. There was no victory for tens of thousands of troops. Instead, the wolf's ambitions and rebellious Qin Chuan won consecutive battles and beheaded more than 10,000.
This must be a huge blow to Dongnu. It should have been a joyful and encouraging thing, but... Zhu Youjian was really not happy.
The Qin surnamed Qin has already ruled the country, and there will be no doubt that the enemy will fight back!
The ability to win consecutive battles, defeat Dai Shan and Yue Tuo, and behead him, is enough to prove that Qin Chuan's military strength is no longer the same as before, and is so powerful that it made the Ming Dynasty afraid of it.
Wen Tiren saw Zhu Youjian's concerns and hurriedly left the work and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Chuan and Dongnu are fighting each other. Even if they defeat Dongnu, they will definitely be damaged. It may not be a good thing for Your Majesty and the Ming court."
"Your Majesty can issue an order for Qin Chuan to continue the decisive battle between the slaves and thieves from east to east, so that they can fight with Dong Nu snipe and clam, and both of them will be injured. At that time, Your Majesty can order the army to attack Dong Nu first, then suppress Qin Chuan, and eliminate the two strong enemies of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."
After listening to Wen Tiren's words, Zhu Youjian frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, and his face calmed down.
"Then according to Wen Qing's words, I drafted an order to order Qin Chuan to advance eastward to fight Jiannu."
"Abide by the order!"
On that day, an imperial edict was sent out of the capital and headed straight to Datong Town.
But a few days later, another victory was sent to the Forbidden City: the main force of Dongnu was defeated at Ningwu Pass, and the specific battle situation was unknown, but the four armies of Dongnu had gathered in the Yingzhou area and headed north to Desheng Fort and were about to withdraw their troops from the pass.
Three days later, news came from Datong Town again: the main force of Dongnu had already stepped out of the border from Desheng Fort under the leadership of the slave chief Huang Taiji, and withdrew from the Ming Dynasty. The population was robbed of countless money and food.
At the same time, several secret messages were sent back to the Forbidden City, saying that Qin Chuan clearly marked the price to sell Dongnu and the Tartars' heads, with a number of more than 23,000, as well as prisoners such as Dongnu Gushan Ezhen.
After reading these secret memorials, Zhu Youjian was both shocked and angry. What was shocked was that Qin Chuan actually won more than 20,000 heads, which was as much as 30% of the total number of Dongnu's troops entering the pass this time.
Being able to win so many heads proves that Qin Chuan's military strength is stronger than he thought.
What was angry was that the guy did not escort the head of Dongnu to the capital, but sold it clearly at a price. The secret report even said that many officials and generals were raising money and preparing to buy the head of Qin from the person surnamed Qin!
In addition to being shocked and angry, Zhu Youjian immediately drafted an edict to spread the word to all parts of the country, but those who purchased the first-level rewards would be considered seriously!
At the same time, the post-event accountability began.
Wen Tiren, Zhang Fengyi and others were eager to find someone to take the blame and shirk responsibility. After some connection, all the members of the Wen Party took turns to submit memorials and began to impeach crazily.
Governor Zhang Zongheng of Xuanda, Governor Jiao Yuanqing of Xuanzhen, Governor Zhang Quanchang of General Zhang Quanchang, Governor Wang Kun of the Army, Governor Hu Zhanen of Datong, Governor Cao Wenzhao, Governor Liu Wenzhong of the Army, Governor Dai Junen of Shanxi, Governor Zhang Yingchang of General Zhang Zhongyun of the Army, and other officials from the three places of Xuan in Jin and Xuan were all spared, and they were all on the impeachment list of the court officials in the capital.
Now, these people are escorting money and grain to Ningwu Pass to purchase their heads, or silently packing up their homes, preparing to be dismissed from office and even beheaded.
Some people know that their official position is not guaranteed, while others want to struggle.
As for the many participating generals, guerrillas, prefects, counties and other officials in the three major areas of Jin and Xuan, they could not control so many, and they sent people to transport money and grain to Ningwu Pass to purchase the head level.
Especially for officials such as the prefecture and county magistrate, they are the most proactive in buying the head. Anyway, the court asked about the crimes of guerrillas for the governors, generals and generals. They are local officials and have no military power. As long as they defend the city, they will not be questioned.
After the head is bought, they can fabricate the military achievements they have made by commanding the defenders out of the city to pursue the small shareholder slaves and earned a small amount of military achievements.
Although these military achievements are small, they are particularly important when Xuanda is defeated.
So, Ningwu Pass became lively.
Qin Chuan is still in charge of Ningwu Pass and is in charge of the major event of selling heads.
At first, Qin Chuan personally received everyone who came to buy heads and accepted the other party's money and food. But later, he found that these people were bought with a hundred heads, and even had a few heads. There was no big deal. Soon he lost his patience and threw these things to his subordinates.
Moreover, Qin Chuan also discovered a problem: the heads of those Jiannu generals had long been robbed and empty, but the generals were captured but none of them were sold.
Just like selling fish, the dead fish from Bingkula was snatched away, and the lively seafood was not sold out... This is a very abnormal phenomenon.
Qin Chuan knew that this was because the officials were afraid that the prisoners would not match their good news after confessing to the Ministry of War, so no one dared to buy prisoners.
He began to worry about a question: Should all these prisoners who could not be sold be cut off their heads and sold them, or should they be incorporated into part and sent to Beijing for Zhu Youjian to parade?
The reason why they can't be sold is because living people can speak. If they cut off their heads, they can't speak and will inevitably be snatched away.
According to Li Dingliang's report, some of the prisoners of Jiannu were willing to surrender, including Wanyan Yechen.
Qin Chuan did not want Jiannu to surrender to generals, which was a matter of position. In his opinion, Jiannu should be killed, and after being accepted, these surrendered generals were not easy to manage, and it may also affect the unity of the Guandi Army.
But accepting surrender will have one advantage: when fighting Jiannu again in the future, the chance of the other party surrender will greatly increase.
If you do not accept the surrendered generals but cut off the heads of the surrendered generals, there will be a big disadvantage: if you face the enemy Jiannu in the future, the opponent will inevitably fight hard and even stay alive.
Because the other party knew that Qin Chuan would not accept the surrendered general, and that he would be chopped off his head if he surrendered. It would be better to try hard and bite a piece of meat before he died.
Qin Chuan didn't know how to make a decision for a moment and fell into a dilemma.
