Chapter 134: Great victory and hidden worries
"Good news! Great victory for the Eastern Army! Li, the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition, killed 5,000 Qing soldiers!"
A small group of Ming troops entered from the east gate of Guangzhou, holding a red flag in his hand and galloping on his horse, while shouting for success.
"Ah? Our army won a great victory? Killing 5,000 Tartar soldiers? Is it because I was not good at hearing and I heard it wrong?" The people talked about it after hearing the news.
"I heard it right, I heard it really, I killed five thousand Qing soldiers!"
"Master Li is so powerful! I heard that the Tartar soldiers are all the masters who eat human flesh and drink human blood. They are invincible in the world and let him kill five thousand in one battle. It's so amazing."
"That's not, you don't know? I've seen Marshal Li's appearance. Marshal Li was a god who came to protect Master Yongli."
"Blind Hu, you are so fucking nonsense. Have you seen the picture? Can you see you?"
"Hehe, although I can't see it, I will listen. I heard that Marshal Li's head can turn from the front to the back at once. I said, who can turn from us mortals?"
"It's really haha. I can turn halfway at most, and then I will twist my neck. I said, "Blind Hu, is that a big deal?"
"Tsk! I really have no knowledge. Of course I've said it's called a tiger turning back. Do you understand? It's not a mortal!"
"The tiger turned around? You said, isn't Marshal Li a tiger? I said, "Blind Hu, you can do things that even those with eyes can't see. You blind man can see clearly. Then ask you, what official will Master Yongli give to Marshal Li this time?"
"I really don't know! Haha, what is the knowledge of a big fool who doesn't know if you are a wife? "
"Go! Your wife is stealing someone!"
"Hehe, the blind man has no wife, so he is not afraid of others thinking about it."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about it, what official will Marshal Li be promoted this time?"
"Tell you, a fool! Marshal Li's official position is already old enough, he will not be promoted again, he will only be rewarded with titles. Such a great contribution will be appointed to a marquis."
"Tsk, I'm so sure. Can you figure out what Master Yongli thinks?"
"Don't believe me, "Who is I, blind man? I know five hundred years ago and five hundred years later. I can't guess other thoughts, but it's not difficult to guess the thoughts of Master Yongli."
"Just blow it, you can tell me five hundred years later? Why haven't you calculated that you are blind? You're going to lose your gun?"
"Hahaha……."
...
The good news was quickly handed over to Zhu Youlang's Longshu's case, "My minister Li Chengdong knocked on the palace and reported: On the ninth day of the third month, the commander of the Qingzheng White Banner Guard, Ajige, led 2,000 cavalry, and 3,000 infantry chased our army to Chongyangxi. I was planning and planned to ambush Du Yonghe in Wuyi Mountain, burning all the enemy's baggage camps. The enemy's auxiliary soldiers were buried in the sea of fire, and none of them escaped. Later, more than 600 Qing cavalry in Duxi were killed in Chongyangxi. At night, the Qing soldiers gathered in a group. I planned to harass the first half of the night, and raid the camp on the second half of the night. The Qing soldiers could not fight against each other. All three thousand infantry were annihilated. The enemy chief Ajige led 2,000 cavalry fled north in a hurry, and more than 1,500 were ambushed by Du Yonghe. Only the enemy chief Ajige and five hundred Qing cavalry fled back to Pucheng."
This is about the specific combat deployment and results. The following is the seized materials and the existing party's war damage.
"In this battle, a total of 4,500 enemies were killed, 300 horses were seized, countless weapons, 5,000 taels of gold, and 1,800 taels of silver. Our army killed 4,180 people and injured 1,325."
Further down there is a list of rewards.
After seeing it, Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "If we look at the number of casualties in the war, the two sides are generally equal. However, the Qing soldiers are strong, so it would be good to achieve such a record." He immediately smiled happily: "Tingzhen is really a tiger general!"
"Li Hong, I reported to the soldiers of the war and asked him to tell him about the specific situation of the war. In addition, I have been tired all morning, so I should listen to the story, and I will loosen my muscles and bones."
Several Grand Secretary were working in the cabinet office to the east. When he heard the emperor's summons, he immediately came to the Qinzheng Hall.
"My dear friends, Tingzhen won a great victory at the foot of Wuyi Mountain and killed more than 5,000 elite soldiers of Zhengbai Banner in one fell swoop. This is the military newspaper, and I will watch it all." Zhu Youlang said with a smile.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Qu Shizi and others saw it and quickly congratulated Zhu Youlang.
However, after reading it, Qu Shixi met Huang Zongxi.
"Hahaha..., we are happy together, we are happy together. This great victory is not only a military victory, but also a political victory. Those who regard Qing soldiers as tigers and look down on me in Yongli will be heartbroken and extremely disappointed; while the scholars, peasants, soldiers, industry and commerce in the world will be excited and will return to my Yongli Dynasty. It is of great significance and has a profound impact." Zhu Youlang said with a smile.
"Emperor, Li Tingzhen's command was properly done in this great victory. It is important for the soldiers to use their lives, but the most important thing is that the emperor's strategy is appropriate." Qu Shisi said.
"There are also mobility and flexible tactical principles. If the emperor had not been to the emperor's advice, Li Tingzhen would not have beaten so beautifully." Chen Zizhuang was afraid that Qu Shixi would have said all the good words, so he quickly interrupted.
"Your Majesty, I think that the emperor has carried out education on loving the people in the army, solved the problem of whom to fight for, and injected an invisible soul into the Ming army, called military soul. This is the invincible magic weapon for an army." Wu Bing was not willing to fall behind and continued.
"Hahaha..., you guys, I asked you to come here to share the joy of victory, not to let you sing praises to me." Zhu Youlang was scratched by the ministers and his mouth was so tickled that he was so happy that he was stuttering to the back of his head.
After laughing, his heart moved: "Well? What they said is indeed right. Why didn't Li Chengdong say a word on the memorial? He had to plan his own strategy? Are you a little ignorant of going forward or retreat?"
When he saw the ministers again, he thought, "What do these guys mean? Are you jealous? Are you thinking about giving Li Chengdong eye drops?"
I thought again: "Okay, don't bother with Li Chengdong. I can't help but be a little arrogant after a big victory. As long as it's just a little too hot, after all, the victory of this battle has made the chair under my butt stable again."
"Okay, stop talking. The battle situation in Li Tingzhen's military newspaper was not detailed enough. I asked the soldiers of Zhu Jie to come. I asked him to tell him in detail, just listen to books and talk about the ancients." Zhu Youlang flashed his eyes and saw that Li Hong had already brought the soldiers of Zhu Jie to the outside of the hall and said quickly.
"Your Majesty is seeing that I have been waiting for a long time, so I will let me wait for the pine trees to pine trees." Wu Bing said with a smile.
From beginning to end, Lu Daqi, Chen Bangyan and Huang Zongxi had no opinions except for a few words of praise to the saints.
The sergeant who reported the victory was quite good, and he compared his words and explained the situation of the battle very clearly.
While he said, Li Hong put the map on the wall, and found Wuyi Mountain, Chongyang River, Huangxikou and other places, and pointed it to the emperor and all the adults with a wooden stick to show it to the emperor and all the adults for an intuitive understanding.
At first, Zhu Youlang was still listening with relish and smiling, but at the end, his face gradually darkened.
