Now in Shanhaiguan, the governor of Ji Liao, Hong Chengchou, was defeated and captured, and the man was no longer there. The biggest remaining officials are two governors.

Among them, the Liaodong Governor is in charge of this area outside Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou. The current Liaodong Governor is Fan Zhiwan, who just took office in February and is still in Ningyuan.

Another governor was separated from the fourth year of Chongzhen, from the governor of Shuntian and the governor of Tianjin. He was called the governor of Shanhai, and Yongping and others were in the local area and praised for military affairs. His jurisdiction included the governor of Shanyong in Yongping Prefecture and near Shanhaiguan.

Zhang Mingwei's arrival was greeted by the governor of Shanyong Zhu Guodong, and generals who fled back, led Wu Sangui and others.

Logically speaking, the governor was also considered an imperial envoy and represented the emperor. However, Zhang Mingwei was the commander of the Jinyiwei, the Duke of Xingguo, and he also had Shangfang swords, Wang Zhiqian, etc. In his hand, Zhu Guodong was also self-aware. When he saw Zhang Mingwei, he consciously regarded him as a ritual of Shangguan.

Zhang Mingwei didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, he turned his attention to the generals behind him.

After Zhu Guodong introduced himself, Wu Sangui immediately knelt respectfully and said: "The general of the crime, General Ningyuan, Wu Sangui, has seen the Duke!"

The other people were also very honest and followed Wu Sangui to report their names to see each other.

After nearly a month of horse riding practice, Zhang Mingwei was a little accustomed to this ancient means of transportation. Sitting on the horse seemed very natural, he looked down at the generals, especially Wu Sangui, and stared at them for a few moments before nodding, just a "hmm" in his attitude.

Then he turned to look at Zhu Guodong and said to him: "The emperor ordered me to come and handle the affairs here. Please tell me in detail!"

Zhu Guodong was a little surprised when he heard this. Isn’t it rumored that this Duke was very arrogant? But he seemed to be okay when he spoke!

Although he thought so, he didn't dare to be careless. He quickly greeted Zhang Mingwei and entered Shanhaiguan respectfully, and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Duke doesn't know that in this battle, the soldiers fought so hard! Unfortunately, Chen Benbing urged him to send troops in a hurry, so that the originally small food and grass were cut off, resulting in a failure. Alas!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei who was originally looking at him in front of him, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Guodong behind him, thinking in his heart, is he starting to shirk responsibility?

In later generations, he always wrote about the early history of Chongzhen, and the latest one was only the eleventh year of Chongzhen. To be honest, he really didn't know much about these things that happened after Chongzhen fifteen years.

The same is true. When he discussed the matter with Emperor Chongzhen, he finally asked him to visit Shanhaiguan, instead of setting specific disposal opinions in the capital.

When Zhu Guodong saw Zhang Mingwei's reaction, he quickly explained: "Really, if the Duke of the State does not believe it, he can investigate it casually. The soldiers really did their best! Although we were defeated in this battle, Jianlu was not much better!"

Zhang Mingwei just turned his head and looked at him, then turned around, without expressing his own opinion, and let Zhu Guodong speak there.

Wu Sangui and others followed behind, looking at the two people in front, to be precise, Zhang Mingwei's back, and they were a little nervous. They observed carefully and wanted to know what the attitude of this Duke was.

However, until Zhang Mingwei entered the Jiliao Governor's Office, they didn't see anything. It was too late, and the Duke was exhausted all the way, and they didn't dare to disturb him, so they all dispersed.

The defense of Shanhaiguan was immediately taken over by Zhou Yuji and Yongwei Battalion. Although he had just cleaned up a little, he could still see some things about Hong Chengchou in the imperial envoy's headquarters, which is the former Governor General of Ji Liao.

Zhang Mingwei didn't care about this, but instead summoned some people to talk about it.

He saw him say to a white-haired old man: "Your identity has not been announced yet, so let's take a walk and learn about the situation."

"The official understands!" The old man was in good spirits and immediately took the order with great enthusiasm.

Zhang Mingwei then looked at Yan Yingyuan who was standing behind him and also instructed him: "The same is true for you, get familiar with this place as soon as possible. If you have any ideas, you can tell me at any time."

"I will obey the order!" Yan Yingyuan immediately responded with his fists.

Zhang Mingwei nodded, then picked up a stack of information on the case table and said to the people in front of him: "This is the information about this battle of Songjin sent by Governor Shanyong. You all see if there is any problem?"

Yan Yingyuan and others, including Princess Kunxing, who had not spoken, agreed and then divided the information on his hand. After reading it all, Zhu Mai explained it to Zhang Mingwei who was leaning on the back of the chair.

"In May last year, our army killed the captive cavalry commander Dandai, the chief commander Zhangkushan, and the third-class guard Boshuoda."

"In another July, the guards under the slave chief Dorgon were killed, and the guards under the command of the guards, Ruolantai, and the guards, Wencha."

"From the eighth to December, the gang leader Afoni, Huilan, Wencha and Qixinlang Maitu were killed. Later, the gang leader Zhang Guli of the Zhenghuang Banner."

"In February this year, in the Battle of Tashan, General Wu Sangui shelled the slave chief Jirgalang, and killed his subordinate Cui Yingtai, and the leaders of the leader Maise fought hard, and the invading red flag suffered heavy losses. Even the Mongolian soldiers, Namuqi, broke out into the turret formation and rushed into Dorgon's camp on horseback, almost killing Dorgon, and finally died with his guard Temudege."

"In the first battle in Jinzhou, our army's offensive was fierce, and Jianlu could not stop him. He killed six of the Eight Banners in person and killed Meerezhenweng Ade. There was also Niulu Zhang Jingdaigun, and the most famous brave general under the command of the slave chief Dorgon, also killed."

“…”

After reading for a long time, Zhu Mai finished reading it. Then she put the sorted information back on the desk in front of Zhang Mingwei and said to him: "The generals who have made contributions will be written later."

Zhang Mingwei did not go to see it immediately, but frowned and said, "How can I hear it? It seems that Jianlu was defeated. Look, how many senior generals of Jianlu died? Four or five of them died in the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, etc.?"

Hearing his words, Yan Yingyuan did not agree, but said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, I thought that these are all names and surnames, and it is impossible to be false. Otherwise, if these people appear again, wouldn't they be lying to report military merits?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei nodded, and his words made sense. But why, in the impression of later generations, it was as if Jianlu was very good at fighting against the Ming army. It should not be too easy to win, just like cutting melons and vegetables.

For example, this Battle of Songjin was a great victory for Jianlu, and the main force of the Ming army was wiped out. Anyone who saw it thought that the Ming army was really a group of pigs, and how powerful Jianlu was!

As he was confused, Zhang Mingwei thought about it and found out again.

In the Battle of Songjin, not only did the eight banners of Jianlu and their affiliated troops dispatched, but even the fat man Huang Taiji took action personally. If Jianlu could really be relaxed, would it be necessary to come so many people?

In this way, there is only one conclusion: history is written by the winner!

He was thinking, and then Yan Yingyuan said to him again: "Sir, I feel that these achievements should be true, but the military achievements that belong to may not be true."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei's eyes lit up. Before he could speak, Yan Yingyuan said again: "Also, there is no news about the responsibility for the defeat in this information, and it is all the result of the battle!"

He brought a professional person around him, and it was really good! Zhang Mingwei nodded to Yan Yingyuan with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I have a look."

Just as he was talking about this, he saw a Jinyiwei lieutenant coming from the door and reported to him: "Sir, Datong General Wang Pu is looking for a meeting outside!"

How long has it been dark and I still came to find myself? Zhang Mingwei was a little confused when he heard this, so he asked, "He is alone?"

"He's the only one!"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was a little curious. Is he trying to steal the news or what do you want to do?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Then let him come in and see what he is going to say?"

……………………

On the top of Shanhaiguan City, the loyal Bo Zhou Yuji. After patrolling the post, he looked up at the cold moon in the sky. When he was not sure what he was thinking, he heard something, but when he saw it, he found that it was General Ningyuan.

"Loyal uncle is really diligent. He won't go to bed so late!" Wu Sangui greeted with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhou Yuji just nodded but didn't say anything.

Wu Sangui felt a little bored. If he could, he would just ignore it. But at this moment, he continued to smile and said, "Zhongzhen Bo is from Jinzhou Wei. Speaking of which, we are also fellow villagers, and we are all our own people! Finally, there is another earl in Liaodong. Everyone in Liaodong has a light on their faces, which is gratifying!"

This time, Zhou Yuji didn't nod any longer. He just looked at him and said indifferently: "Are you here to find me specifically? What's the matter?"

At this moment, Wu Sangui was a little embarrassed. However, now that he had something to ask for, he continued to squeeze his smile and said, "Of course I am here to congratulate my fellow villagers on their titles and glorify their ancestors!"

Speaking of this, he took out something from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "Little gift, something to say!"

When Zhou Yuji saw it, he reached out to take it. With the help of the torches of the guards beside him, he saw that it was a silver note worth a thousand taels.

One thousand taels of silver notes, how much you say, it is definitely not a lot. However, if you say less, it is definitely not a lot.

After Zhou Yuji saw it clearly, he put it in his arms, and then asked calmly: "Is there anything else?"

"..." When Wu Sangui heard this, he really wanted to grab the silver bill, and then turned around and left.
Chapter completed!
