420 Discrimination
"Your Majesty, I heard from the above that the war on the front line is tense, and the wounded soldiers are temporarily repaid!"
Seeing this news, Emperor Chongzhen frowned. It seemed that Mangourtai's military strength was insufficient, and the pressure on Jinzhou was getting greater.
Thinking of this, he responded to Gao Yingyuan and said, "In this way, I ordered Jinzhou to slow down military operations."
The purpose of the actions these days is to allow Gao Yingyuan to return to Liaoyang. Even Ning Jin's main force of the Ming army must cooperate. After all, the strategic goal of this Liaodong war is to allow Lu Xiangsheng to go deep into the hinterland of Liaodong this time and maximize value. Capture Liaoyang, burn down Jianlu's material transfer station, and convey a signal to the Han people in Liaodong that the Ming Dynasty has the ability to counterattack!
Based on this purpose, Emperor Chongzhen immediately contacted Liu Wangshi and asked her to convey the order, so that the two armies of Wu Sangui and He Kegang narrowed their activities and relieved the pressure on Manguertai in front of him.
After finishing all this, he switched to the temporary group, browsed the chat records, and found that the results of the battle had expanded again. At this time, it was almost evening. About one-third of the remaining troops of the Yansui Army and the Baigang Army arrived in Dai County, and the situation had completely stabilized, which made him very pleased.
After browsing the information and calming down, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but start to consider the rewards after this war, such as how to arrange for Sun Chuanting?
In front of him, there was Qixun who used the enemy's merits to defend the city, and in the back, there was Qixun who sneaked into the defeat of the thieves' army. Sun Chuanting is a talented person and must be used well!
As Emperor Chongzhen thought, the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, also thought so. When he led his troops to Dai County, he heard that Sun Chuanting came to ask for a meeting, and immediately put down his airs and personally welcomed the Central Army tent. Like an old friend for many years, he held Sun Chuanting's hand and returned to the Central Army tent with jokes.
Strictly speaking, Sun Chuanting was actually just a slut at this time, at most a gentry. Hong Chengchou was a rank-in-law official of the court and the governor of Yansui, who guarded one of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty. His attitude was so polite that he gave Sun Chuanting enough face and showed enough sincerity.
Hong Chengchou knows how to be a person. Whether it is to his colleagues, superiors, or local gentry, he has a style of doing things that is worse than to have more enemies than to have more friends. This also makes him have a smooth promotion all the way and his reputation in the officialdom is also very good.
His performance also moved Sun Chuanting, who was relatively cold-hearted, very touched. Qiannian's cold face rarely had a few other expressions, and he responded to Hong Chengchou's inquiries from time to time.
As soon as he entered the central army tent, Hong Chengchou introduced to the generals who were standing there waiting, "This is Doctor Sun, a pillar of the country that I have never been out of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. He summoned three hundred miscellaneous soldiers with bare hands and defeated tens of thousands of elite bandits."
The key role of the chat group was hidden, and no mention of the names of Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng, two powerful people, were shocked when they heard it. Of course, except for Hong Chengchou, others basically knew the specific process of the war.
When Hong Chengchou said this, the generals immediately showed sincere admiration on their faces, and they all held their fists and treated them solemnly, which made Sun Chuanting very helpful.
This time he came here mainly because there were a large number of thieves who surrendered. Now that the war has been decided, he has no official title yet, and when Hong Chengchou arrives, he will naturally come to report the handover.
But when he explained his purpose, Hong Chengchou immediately assigned several generals to hand over. At the same time, he smiled at Sun Chuanting and said, "Dr. Sun worked hard all night, go back and have a good rest, and wait for the imperial decree!"
When he heard this, Sun Chuanting felt a little cold for no reason. However, he had a chat group and was not afraid that others would be greedy for his contributions, but he was a little displeased.
Hong Chengchou seemed not to notice that his expression had changed. He took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Chuanting and said, "This is the memorial to report the victory that I am preparing to send to the capital quickly. What should I do? If anything is wrong, I will just rewrite it!"
Sun Chuanting was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously took it over and looked at it. He found that he was obviously suspicious. Hong Chengchou reported the war in a memorial to report the war. In some places, he even cleverly exaggerated Sun Chuanting's contributions with his literary skills, but did not lie at all.
Of course, Sun Chuanting would not have any objections to such memorials, and he was very grateful to Hong Chengchou. When he walked out of the Yansui Army camp, he strided back with his head high.
When he returned to Dai County, the county magistrate led the people of the whole city to welcome him, which was very glorious. Anyone knew that Sun Chuanting would surely make a fortune in the future.
When he returned home, he saw his wife leading his concubine and son and daughter together. When he saw him, shed tears before she could speak.
Sun Chuanting knew the reason and smiled and said, "Aren't I good?"
"Master, you are so cruel!" The lady cried out immediately, and when she recalled, she was scared. When she saw her last night, she almost became her last. But the husband didn't say anything at all, as if she was normal.
Sun Chuanting stepped forward, held his wife's hand, looked at his son and said, "You must be determined when you need to be cruel. You must be cruel when you should be cruel. Only in this way can you achieve success and fame!"
In the original history, Sun Chuanting was also doing this. In his life, he killed gentry, bandits, and disaster victims, and was not ruthless, nor was he afraid of his hands. Although he was finally famous in later generations, he was limited by the times and eventually died in the battlefield.
Everything is well here, but Zhang Xianzhong encountered a little depressed thing. Although he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and promised to be a guerrilla position, the Yansui Army was very discriminatory when it came to hand over.
For this reason, Zhang Dingguo was indignant to see it. He entered the chat group and said in a questioning manner in the temporary group that had not yet been dissolved: "Why is my adoptive father already a guerrilla general and has made great contributions to the court, but a guard still discriminated against my adoptive father. Is the court's words counting? Do you want to burn bridges across the river?"
Others are small, so their ideas are naturally not as complicated as adults. When they are angry, they are naturally thinking and saying whatever they want.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he asked in surprise: "The guard discriminates against your adoptive father?"
"Do you think I lied to you? It's the guard named He Renlong who speaks to my adopted father in vain!" Zhang Dingguo immediately complained.
He Renlong and Zhang Xianzhong were actually from fellow villagers. They were also from Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province. During the Wanli period, they were appointed as the garrison officer under the command of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui Town. He fought bravely and called him "He Madman".
What He Renlong did not expect was that Zhang Xianzhong, who was looked down upon by him, was originally just a constable and was rebellious, but in the end he became a guerrilla general and his official position was above him. He was naturally unavoidable. A martial artist would be ignorant of his words.
