On the afternoon of August 18th, Wang Chengen carried the memorial from Tianjin and ran wildly on the high platform in front of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Wang Chengen carried the memorial of Tianjin's victory. The Qing army's roaming cavalry were everywhere in the capital region, blocking the roads in many places. Thus, this news of victory took four days to reach the capital. The memorial first went to the chief Wen Tiren. After Wen Tiren made a vote, he handed it to Wang Chengen and asked Wang Chengen to quickly hand it over to the emperor.
This memorial came too timely.
At this time, the Qing army had already entered the pass for a month and a half, and they were invincible in the capital area. The officials of the Ming Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent. Under the attack of the Qing army, they could not defend the city and abandoned it. Every few days, Wang Chengen would hear the bad news that a state and county city had been captured. And the soldiers who had exhausted the court's financial resources were equally weak. On the 25th of the seventh month, the Minister of War Zhang Fengyi requested reinforcements from the governor's towns. However, Zhang Fengyi's troops only dared to follow Azik and Abatai's army and did not have the courage to fight.
The Qing army rampaged through the vast capital region, winning more than 30 battles in a row. In the past month, the Qing army had captured Changping, Liangxiang, Shunyi, Baodi, Dingxing, Ansu, Dacheng, Xiongxian, Anzhou, Rongcheng and other ten prefectures and cities, massacring the Ming people and looting countless people and goods.
The capital of the Great Ming Dynasty was dark, and the officials were silent. Tian Zi flew into a rage every day in court. In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the emperor had smashed more than ten porcelain cups. According to the emperor's temper, after the Qing army came out of seclusion, who knew how many high-ranking officials would be dismissed and interrogated, how many people would be locked up in prison, and how many people would lose their heads.
Under such circumstances, news of a great victory came from Tianjin.
This was an unprecedented victory: East Slave's fake super grade duke Yang GuLi led 12,000 East Slave's yellow flag soldiers to attack Tianjin Fan Village, Fan Village's Baoding Lin Feng held the fort. After that, the governor of Tianjin gathered all the troops to support Fan Jia Village. The two sides fought for a day in the north of Fan Village. Tian Jin's army defeated the yellow flag troops of Dong Nu Zheng, killed the fake Super Rank Duke Yang Guli, and captured and beheaded 7,600 people.
Such a good news was like a timely rain after a long drought, brightening the entire situation.
7,600 heads, what an exaggerated number! If it weren't for the joint signatures of the Tianjin governor, deputy general, and Tianjin military officers, Wang Chengen wouldn't have believed this number. With such a number of heads, didn't it mean that the soldiers of Tianjin had already destroyed the yellow flag of East Slave? Dong Nu had invaded the capital region and plundered countless people. However, the yellow flag was destroyed, which also showed Slave Dong how powerful he was, so that Slave Dong would not dare to enter the pass easily next time!
If Tian Zi saw this good news, how happy would he be?
Wang Chengen carried the memorial of the great victory and ran all the way into the Palace of Heavenly Purity. As soon as he entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Wang Chengen shouted,"
"Emperor! What a great victory!"
Zhu Youjian, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, was sitting behind the imperial table and reviewing the memorials. The memorials reflected the dim situation. Zhu Youjian could only see the ruined city walls and the people plundered by Slave Dong everywhere. His face turned ashen.
Quiet in literature and martial arts! Quiet in literature and martial arts! How did the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty manage the army? He was helpless under the Qing army's attack. Could it be that my Great Ming, a leisurely country, can only sit idly by and watch Dong Nu enter the pass to plunder without any scruples?
Zhu Youjian was feeling chest tightness when he suddenly heard Wang Chengen's shout.
A great victory? Where was the victory? There are soldiers who dare to fight the Tartars? Which town's soldiers were so brave?
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath and asked loudly,""Where?"
Wang Chengen trotted all the way and placed the memorial on the imperial table. He smiled and said,""Your Majesty, the great victory in Tianjin has beheaded Slave Dong for 7,600!”
7,600?
Zhu Youjian was shocked by this number. He was stunned for a while before he asked seriously,"Wang Chengen, did you say 7,600?”
Wang Chengen nodded and said," Your Majesty, I've secretly read it. It's a memorial jointly signed by all the officials in Tianjin. It beheaded 7,600 level seven slaves!" He even killed Dongnu's fake transcendent-grade Duke Yangguli!”
Zhu Youjian couldn't react in time. He stared at Wang Chengen, his face uncertain.
Wang Chengen opened the memorial and handed it to Zhu Youjian. He smiled and said,""Emperor, look for yourself. A great victory at level 7600!”
Zhu Youjian then looked at the memorial in his hand. He carefully read every word on the memorial from right to left, and finally froze there.
"How is it, Emperor?" Wang Chengen asked carefully.”
Zhu Youjian looked at the memorial and was speechless for a long time.
Wang Chengen smiled and said,"A great victory!" Emperor! Slave Dong's yellow flag has been destroyed!"
Zhu Youjian placed the memorial on the imperial table with a bang, stood up, and walked back and forth in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Wang Chengen smiled and stood at the side, letting the emperor walk around in front of the imperial table to vent his emotions.
After a long time, Zhu Youjian let out a breath and stood in the middle of the palace with his eyes closed."Good! After so many days of darkness, I have finally won this battle!”
Wang Chengen cupped his hands and said," It's all because of the Emperor's holy heart that moved the heavens. That's why he sent down a good minister and a brave general to protect the common people of Ming Dynasty!"”
Zhu Youjian glanced at Wang Chengen, flung his sleeves, and sat in front of the imperial table to read the memorial again.
Zhu Youjian nodded at every line, and his expression eased a little. At the end, Zhu Youjian's face was filled with joy.
How could Tianjin's soldiers be so powerful, daring to support the trapped city and fight the Tartar elites in the wilderness? This news made Zhu Youjian feel that Tianjin had a burst of vitality, which was completely different from the other border towns of Ming Dynasty.
At the end, Zhu Youjian saw Li Zhi's name.
"The Fan family will defend the city for two days and wait for reinforcements to arrive. They will follow the army out of the city to kill and behead 1,513 people.”
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath and read the article again.
"The Fan family will defend the city for two days and wait for reinforcements to arrive. They will follow the army out of the city to kill and behead 1,513 people.”
Zhu Youjian thought for a moment and couldn't help but sigh,""Brave General! He was indeed brave! An integrity officer with less than 500 soldiers had actually defended the city in front of the yellow flag of East Servant, and even went out of the city to capture and behead 1,500 people! The array killed the fake Supreme Duke Yangguli! How powerful a battle general would be to do this? Even if the previous dynasty's Crown Prince Taibao, Qi Jiguang, was around, he probably couldn't do this either, right?”
Wang Chengen came to Zhu Youjian's side and looked at him. He smiled and said,""Emperor, this is indeed a fierce general. I'm afraid it's related to Zhang Zhiyong! If he killed Yanguli, Dong Nu would be terrified!”
"Good general! He is indeed a good general!" Zhu Youjian suddenly remembered something and said,""Why does this Li Zhi's name sound so familiar?”
Wang Chengen smiled and said,"Emperor, have you forgotten?" The last time the Prime Minister fought in Ruzhou, the Formation Executioner Elder Hui Hui Ma Shou had responded to this person.
Zhu Youjian was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the good news on the memorial and said with a smile,""So it's him! So this Lin Feng has made a new contribution!"
Wang Chengen went to the side to take a look and said,""The governor has guaranteed him the position of guerrilla general in the Fan manor!”
Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment and said loudly,""Wang Chengen, you have written on the approval letter that Lin Feng's guerrilla general will be approved on behalf of the Ministry of War! Li Zhi's command Tongzhi promotion, with my special edict as soon as possible. I also reward him with a flying fish suit and a jade belt to show his bravery in saving the country!”
