The imperial edict was naturally drafted by the cabinet, and the little Emperor had merely stamped it with a jade seal.
The former Minister of War, Wang Zaijin, was promoted to two ranks and took over Xiong Tingbi's position. He was in charge of Liaodong's military and political affairs.
Just like that, under Tang Feng's push, Wang Zaijin was promoted to Liaodong's position a year earlier than in history.
Yu Huafeng, the eunuch who supervised the army in Liaodong, was promoted by one level and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. He continued to supervise the army in Liaodong and assisted Wang Zaijin.
North Town Deputy Commander Zhou Yinglong was promoted to Rank One and took over the position of the former commander. He led 50,000 Ming soldiers in North Town.
Former North Town Du Si Ding Jia, promoted to three grades, granted Xianwu General.
Ding Yi, the former governor of the North Town, was promoted to the third grade and granted the title of Xuanwu General.
Xuanwu General and Xianwu General were both Rank-4 Martial Officers. Their status was only below the General and slightly higher than the guerrilla general.
Ding Jia and Ding Yi, these two brothers, could be considered to have ascended to the heavens in one step this time.
There was no reward for Tang Feng in this imperial edict, so Tang Feng did not take it to heart.
As the Seal Eunuch of the Chief of Rites and the Chief of the East Chamber, he was already at the pinnacle of eunuchs. There was no longer any official position for him to be conferred.
Just as the imperial decree had mentioned, he was to bring the enemy chief Mongertai and the Houjin captives back to the capital as soon as possible.
This was nothing more than waiting for him to return to the capital to present the prisoners. After a parade, the Emperor would bring his officials to the ancestral temple to pray to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.
Finally, it was his reward.
As for the reward, it was nothing more than some gold and silver. However, the amount of the reward depended on the Emperor and those guys in the cabinet.
On this day, after Nurhachi learned that Menggeertai had been defeated and captured, and that Zhenglan Flag had been wiped out, he was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Following that, Nurhachi ordered his soldiers to lead two banners of troops out of Shen Yang City and charge towards the Daling River.
When Tang Feng learned of the movements of the Houjin Army from his spies, he temporarily dismissed his plans to return to the capital that day.
During the reorganization of the military and government of Northtown, Tang Feng had placed his men in many important positions.
In terms of the army, he used Wang Zaijin to put the five commanders-in-chief he had recruited into important positions.
Each of these commanders-in-chief now commanded an army of about 1,500 people.
Moreover, these soldiers were all veterans who were brave enough to fight.
Currently, the number of soldiers under Tang Feng's control had reached sixteen thousand.
In Guang Ning City, the other generals also followed Tang Feng's lead.
After learning that Nurhachi was leading an army to attack, Tang Feng decided to show this ancestor of the Manchu Kingdom his might before he left.
Even if he didn't completely submit, at the very least, he had to beat him until he didn't dare to cross the Daling River again within a year.
Under Tang Feng's command, the 50,000 Ming troops gathered at the Daling River.
On the other side of the river, Nurhachi's army arrived late.
Across the river, the two sides faced each other.
In order to completely anger Nurhachi, Tang Feng had someone lock Menggeltai in a cage and push him to the riverbank.
Looking at the tortured Menggeltai, Nurhachi was furious. Huang Taiji and the others were also furious.
Tang Feng was naturally happy to see the anger of the Houjin people, but he chose to ignore their curses.
As a person from the later generation, this bit of verbal attack was simply a drizzle to him.
If they were to quarrel, he could guarantee that he would scold them for two days and two nights without repeating it.
"Retreat two miles."
When Tang Feng gave the order, the Ming army began to retreat, giving way to the Houjin people on the other side of the river.
In a war, everyone had to stand together first. How could they fight a war across a river? They couldn't possibly fight a war of words, right?
Seeing the Ming army retreat, Nurhachi considered for a long time. In the end, he sent out a team of people to build a bridge over the Daling River.
The Houjin Army used a full two days to finally build three simple pontoon bridges on the Daling River.
Fortunately, this was the dry season, and the river was narrow. Otherwise, with the technology of this era, it would probably take half a month for the Houjin to build three pontoons.
When the pontoon bridge was built, groups of the Later Jin Army crossed the pontoon bridge and stepped onto the land of the Great Ming North Town.
Nurhachi passed through the Daling River under the escort of a group of generals.
"The Ming army is rampant. Today, we will take down Guang Ning City and wash the entire city with blood.”Belle Amin shouted wildly.
Half of the thirty thousand Hou Jin soldiers were cavalry, strong and well-equipped.
In the Zhenren's eyes, the Ming army had already rotted and could not fight at all. Even if the two sides had a ratio of three to one, the Ming army could only hide in the city and defend. They might not be able to hold on.
The reason why Nurhachi and the others dared to cross the Daling River with 30,000 soldiers was because they knew that there were only 50,000 soldiers in Guangning City.
If these 50,000 soldiers dared to come out, they could skin them alive with just 30,000 Houjin warriors.
However, when they crossed the Daling River, they discovered that their initial guess was wrong.
The Ming army did not retreat back to Guang Ning City. Instead, they formed a battle formation in the wilderness, as if they were ready to fight a decisive battle with them.
When they saw the army formation, whether it was Nurhachi or Huang Taiji Amin, they couldn't react in time.
Since when did the timid people of the Ming Dynasty dare to walk out of the city and fight with them?
Looking at the Ming army formation, the flag was clear, the civil officials and generals were all standing in front of the army.
This…was this still the army of Great Ming?
Although he was puzzled, Nurhachi was still very happy to see the Great Ming Army choose to fight in the open.
In his mind, the Great Ming Army was the worst of the worst. In the wild, they would definitely lose.
The heavens are on my side. That Imperial Seal Eunuch Wei Zhongxian from the capital is indeed a man of great ambition.
If they were to swallow this main force of the Ming Dynasty today, then there would no longer be any threat to the regular North Town.
At that time, he only needed to drive his troops south, and the regular northern towns and even the entire Liaodong could be obtained by him.
Nurhachi wanted to swallow this main force of the Ming Dynasty, but Tang Feng also wanted to drag down this main force of the Houjin Dynasty.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720195:01PM
