29. Murder and Punishment
"Then why are you one day late than General Yuan?"
Zhu Youjian continued in a high voice.
In the hall, everyone's expressions became ugly.
I thought the emperor wanted to celebrate and commend.
I probably won’t mention the destruction of ammunition. I don’t think so, the crime has just begun.
"The road from Baoding to Beijing is rugged and there is heavy snow, so...so it blocked the trip..."
Cao Minglei knew that the disaster had come at this time, but he still quibbled.
Moreover, I felt quite dissatisfied. The four of them were obviously late for a group, so why did they hold him alone?
"When Ningyuan arrived at the capital, it was also covered with snow. Could it be that General Yuan flew here?"
Zhu Youjian continued.
"My...My..." Cao Minglei's face suddenly turned pale.
"The capital is trapped and the king and father are in trouble. You dare to marche slowly. If the Commander Yuan had not arrived in time, my head would have been gone!"
"Pull it out and chop it!"
"Emperor, I... I'm not convinced. The three of them also deliberately delayed. Why did they kill me one of them..."
"And the law is determined, and the execution of prisoners requires three courts..."
Cao Minglei shouted wildly.
"Han Du, I will investigate Cao Minglei's greed and fraud in recent years. If there is any, the house will be searched!"
Zhu Youjian added a sentence.
Cao Minglei choked immediately.
He didn't expect that the emperor would kill the general when the two armies were fighting?
Moreover, when he was under the city, he also reminded several other people to ask for credit...
He didn't even understand why the emperor wanted to kill him!
This time Cao Minglei was executed, no one dared to come out to plead for mercy.
After experiencing the last time the commander of the Shenji Camp, they no longer dared to challenge the Emperor's Power.
Just thinking about clamping your tail and taking care of yourself.
"The emperor forgives the crime, the guilty minister does not deliberately delay the support...My..." Man Gui and the other two were scared and looked deserted, fighting.
As far as things go, their sins are the same as Cao Minglei!
The emperor they thought was the original Emperor Chongzhen...
If you speak cleverly, you can hide your military achievements by lying to the public!
"Why do you have to blame yourself? Just make or fail for a moment, get up!"
Just when everyone thought that Man Gui and the other two would definitely die, Zhu Youjian actually let these people go.
"Thank you... Thank you, the emperor, I will serve as a bloody battle on the battlefield and serve the court!"
Man Gui and the other two couldn't believe their ears. After a moment, they were so grateful!
I originally wanted to slander Yuan Chonghuan, and I swallowed it all!
If the war had not been tight, the four people would have already fallen to the ground.
Killing Cao Minglei was simply because this thief was afraid of fighting during the battle and only shouted behind him.
Kill one to warn three. If the Tartars come to attack the city again, these three will definitely fight to the end, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers they lead will also be improved. This is what we need now!
The Tartars are defeated today. If they do not withdraw, there will be a tough battle tomorrow.
Zhu Youjian must be prepared.
The Red Cannons were also abolished, and the four troops of Man Gui and others were left with only more than 10,000.
The Guanning Iron Cavalry fought fiercely for days and also lost nearly two thousand people.
The elite of the Tartars still have at least 30,000 people, especially the two white flags with the strongest combat power, whose overall strength is still there!
"Sir, don't be nervous. Today's victory is a good thing. Don't be sad and happy!"
"Gao Qiqian, pass on the food, I want to celebrate with you all!"
Zhu Youjian saw that everyone was trembling and then said with a smile.
Relieve the atmosphere for a while.
But can these people be happy?
The imperial meeting must kill people, but it would be strange if these corrupt and incompetent ministers are not afraid.
As for the bombing of the ammunition depot, he did not mention it at all.
The imperial kitchen in the palace is ready for twelve hours. Even if it is a temporary dinner, it will not be in trouble. You can bring cold dishes first.
"Oh, I almost forgot one thing. Today, I defeated the Tartars. We are here to celebrate the celebrations."
"But the soldiers who fought bloodyly for a day are still gnawing military rations!"
"How can I bear it!"
Zhu Youjian said this and glanced at the ministers below.
Almost everyone lowered their heads in unison and wanted to stuff their heads into their crotch.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue should be responsible for the work of the military.
Just as Sun Chengzong was about to stand up, Zhu Youjian suddenly called Wang Yongguang, the Minister of Personnel.
"Mr. Wang, who do you think is suitable for the military work?"
Wang Yongguang's head was almost hanging down his crotch, for fear of being lit. He would come whatever was scared.
"I think the Ministry of War should be the head of it and the Ministry of Revenue will be the support of it!" Wang Yongguang calmed down and said.
"Well, that's right, but now, in the wars for several days, my Ming Dynasty should be united as one."
"Will the Ministry of Personnel go to work hard to promote unity and unity?"
"Therefore, I decided to let Lord Wang go and work hard!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yongguang's heart began to beat wildly, and he had already guessed something.
Sure enough, Zhu Youjian spoke, "Do you know what to do?"
"I... I know that the soldiers are a pound of meat per person, and the steamed buns are enough, and the user department will not allocate silver. If the meat is enough, the food will be full, and the soldiers will be soaked in their feet!"
Wang Yongguang gritted his teeth and said, his heart and lungs were trembling in pain...
This time he was more than 16,000 soldiers, and the meat he ate would probably buy all the big players in the city.
It is probably impossible to stop it if there are no two thousand taels of silver...
The other ministers felt so painful when they heard it.
They also knew why Wang Yongguang was punished because he recommended Han Du's nephew and Wen Tiren's second son.
At that time, the emperor didn't care and thought it had passed, but he didn't want the emperor to wait here.
Han Yu and Zhou Yanru actually felt a little bit of gratitude in their hearts...
The other ministers' back sweat was all gone, and in the past they had to fill their pockets in various names.
Now it seems that you will vomit it all sooner or later.
And...and the Tartars never retreated for a day, they had to prepare tens of thousands of kilograms of meat to work hard at all times...
At night, more than 16,000 Ming soldiers ate meat and steamed buns, and enjoyed VIP foot bathing service. It was so good!
In contrast, in the Huangtaiji Camp in Tongzhou, each of the Tartar soldiers had only one steamed bun and half a bowl of porridge...
They vaguely smelled the scent of meat blowing in the wind and bit their tongues secretly.
At this time, Huang Taiji's tent was surrounded by generals, secretly accumulating energy.
Dorgon Duoduo's brothers and their generals stood on the left side of the tent, while Dai Shan and his son stood on the right side, staring at each other tightly.
Jirgalang, Amin, Dudu and others stood under the tent, silently.
But they were also thinking in their hearts that the current situation was that the two white flags of the Dorgon brothers were dominant.
However, it is too early to take the team, so at least someone will give them trading chips.
This state has lasted for an hour.
If Huang Taiji cannot wake up, an internal strife will inevitably be inevitable.
