Chapter 66: Make the Best of Your Talent
Soon, the Ming army controlled all the key rushes in Chongqing.
The Qing army, which was resisting stubbornly, was killed and its head was hung on the city wall.
Zhu Youlang entered the city by boat as the emperor. Looking around, the city was full of devastations, and couldn't help but sigh that the people were the most miserable existence in troubled times.
Although the Ming army had already restrained military discipline to the greatest extent, it was impossible to completely avoid disturbing the lives of the people.
When Li Dingguo learned that the emperor had entered the city, he immediately rushed to welcome him. Zhu Youlang cordially visited Li Dingguo and his soldiers who had made contributions to the city.
However, Li Dingguo did not take credit for himself, but pushed Wang Henian out immediately.
"Report to Your Majesty, this hero has made great contributions to the great army's great army's contribution to the attack on Chongqing so easily."
Wang Henian quickly kowtowed to Zhu Youlang and said, "Grass people will meet your Majesty."
Zhu Youlang then carefully observed the king's New Year.
This person obviously had just cut his braid, but he had a bald head. However, his eyes were bright and full of heroism.
This should be the secret stakes that Wen Anzhi said to celebrate New Year’s greetings?
Wen Anzhi was by his side at this moment, and Zhu Youlang looked at him inquiring eyes.
"Your Majesty, this person is the king's New Year."
Wen Anzhi nodded in response.
"Mr. Wen did not see the wrong person!"
Zhu Youlang praised: "If I have such a righteous man, why don't I worry about not turning the world around if I get more righteous men?"
"Your Majesty praised it, the grass-roots people are just doing their best."
"Your little power saves hundreds of casualties from soldiers."
Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "God is merit, and mistakes are merits. I am not a foolish monarch, can't I tell you this?"
"Wang Henian, if I ordered you to come to the Jinyiwei to do things, would you like?"
The emperor suddenly asked a question, which made Wang Henian stunned.
Your Majesty asked him to work in the Jinyiwei?
Oh my God, he heard it right?
Of course, Zhu Youlang was not on a whim. In fact, this is a question he has been thinking about for a long time.
Although Mu Tianbo is now the commander of the Jinyiwei, he cannot do some details in person.
In addition, his status is there, and he is also somewhat resistant and resistant to doing some secret things.
This requires discovering some young people.
Although Zhu Youlang is interested in exploring talents, he is surrounded by soldiers, and few of them are suitable for intelligence collection such as the Jinyiwei.
This is also impossible.
When Emperor Chongzhen sacked the Jinyiwei, leaving the Jinyiwei with only one ceremonial function. Since then, the talents of the Jinyiwei have been cut off.
Then when the Jiashen Kingdom changed, the land in Shenzhou was in full swing, and the imperial court in the Southern Ming Dynasty changed back and forth like a lantern. It would be great that the court could gather a group of civil and military officials. Where can we find the right person to be the Jinyiwei?
Therefore, even Zhu Youlang's personal army was mostly capable and dared to fight, but he was not good at collecting intelligence.
Today, the king's New Year greeting Zhu Youlang's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty is asking you."
Wen Anzhi was stunned when he saw Wang Henian and quickly reminded him.
"Ah! Caomin is willing to be fooled by His Majesty."
Wang Henian only felt that happiness came too suddenly!
Before, he was just a merchant. Although he helped the Ming army break the city, he thought about getting some rewards at most.
Who would have thought that the emperor would directly absorb him into the Jinyiwei!
What is the Jinyiwei? That is the emperor's personal army.
It is a great honor to be able to do things for the emperor by his side!
The old Wang family is now running!
Wang Henian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and kowtowed to Zhu Youlang for rituals.
Zhu Youlang nodded.
Although this boy is young, he is very scheming. Not everyone can accomplish such a feat under the eyes of the Qing Dynasty.
"You are the one used by Commander Wen, and I can trust you. After you get to the Jinyiwei, you can do your best. I will not treat you badly."
At this moment, Wang Henian was so happy that he was about to faint.
The emperor's words are more useful than any reward. With this sentence, he is Jian Zai's heart!

...
But Zhu Youlang was in charge of the governor's yamen, and a group of military generals were with him.
Since a fierce battle broke out here not long ago, the air was filled with blood.
However, Zhu Youlang didn't care much, or he was used to it.
"Report to Your Majesty, the pseudo-Qing Governor Gao Minzhan has been shot and killed, and everyone in the Governor's yamen has been taken down."
Li Dingguo said patiently: "How to deal with these people, wait for His Majesty to make a decision."
"Everyone will be executed. These people are Gao Minzhan's confidants, and they will not do anything for me even if they stay."
Zhu Youlang has gradually adapted to the principles of dealing with things in this era.
When two armies confront each other, there will always be victorious and defeated.
Then the winner will face the problem of how to deal with the prisoners.
Some of these prisoners can be kept, while others must be killed.
For example, the personal soldiers and servants of enemy generals are undoubtedly sure to kill them.
If you stay, it will be a disaster and they may cause trouble at any time.
If you are sympathetic and blindly seeking kindness, you will not only be irresponsible to yourself, but also irresponsible to the soldiers.
"I obey the order!"
A stone hanging in Li Dingguo's heart finally put down.
At first he was worried that the emperor would give birth to the kindness of Duke Xiang of Song, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
"By the way, has Wang Mingde chased after him?"
Zhu Youlang suddenly remembered that there was another Qing army in the city breaking through, so he asked.
Li Dingguo's face turned red and he said a little embarrassedly: "If you say goodbye to your Majesty, this thief will run very quickly. I have sent someone to chase him. Now Tongluo is locked in our army, and he can't escape."
Li Dingguo's words are very reasonable.
At this time, the function of Tongluo Pass is reflected.
If the Ming army did not choose to attack Chongqing by water but bypassed Tongluo Pass and took land, now the Qing army of Wang Mingde's troops could easily escape through the Jialing River.
But now Tongluo is in the hands of the Ming army, and even if Wang Mingde has wings, he will never escape.
It's only a matter of time to catch this beast.
“That’s good.”
Zhu Youlang nodded: "How did the new army perform in this battle?"
This battle is the first battle since the recruitment of the new army. Zhu Youlang was very concerned about the performance of the new army and asked actively.
"When you go back to your Majesty, the new army is very mature, and it doesn't look like it's the first battle."
This was not Li Dingguo deliberately beautified.
Because the Ming army fought with the best battle from beginning to end, the new army mostly used guns and artillery soldiers using firearms, so it is not too comfortable to fight with the best battle.
“That’s good.”
Zhu Youlang naturally understood this truth. Although the soldiers of the New Army did not have time to fight with the Qing army, they could have trained some courage after seeing the blood.
Some things are unhurried, so take your time.
"I believe the news will reach Guizhou soon. I don't know what Hong Chengchou will make."
Although Chongqing has been defeated, Zhu Youlang is not as happy as he imagined.
After all, it is easy to conquer the country and it is difficult to defend the country.
Hong Chengchou will not give up, and the general waiting for the Ming army is another ****.
