The losses of the Ming army were all the same, and the casualties of the Qing army were even heavier, and after the general mobilization of the whole country, nearly 300,000 troops were defeated to less than 100,000.

Eight Banners Manchuria only left the Yellow Banner of Huang Taiji, the White Flag of Dolgon, and the inlaid white flag of Zierharang, and countless banner owners, princes, Baylors, and Beizi were killed.

The Eight Banners Mongolia only had half of the two white flags and the yellow flags, and the outer Mongolia ran more than half and broke away from the Manchu-Mongolian alliance.

Except for Zu Zerun's Zhenghuang Banner, the rest of the Han Army was almost wiped out, either wiped out or ran away from the Han Army Banner.

The most important thing is that the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery battalion that Huang Taiji spent a lot of money to build no longer exists, and the troops of the Eight Banners Army that use firearms are also fighting for a few people left.

The number of beheadings of the Ming army according to Fang Zhenghua's statistics is about 100,000, most of which were captured by the Tianwu army.

Zhu Cihong said in a low voice, "The general died in a hundred battles, the horse leather shroud was returned, and the Qingdan history books will record the soldiers who died in this battle!" ”

Fang Zhenghua looked sad, also stood up, and said: "The soldiers will not sacrifice in vain, our family will report truthfully to the saint, and the soldiers will definitely get the due bereavement and mourning!" ”

Hong Chengchou's face was sad, and he raised his glass and said: "The ministers are willing to do their best for Daming!" ”

All the generals stood up, raised their glasses in unison and said: "I am willing to do my best for Da Ming and die!" ”

After speaking, everyone sprinkled the cup on the ground for a long time, with a sense of remembrance.

Zhu Cihong continued: "This second wine, this palace respects all the generals present and all the soldiers who are not here, you are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, everyone drink this cup!" ”

Everyone drank it all heroically, and their hearts were a little touched, compared to those soldiers who died on the battlefield, they were really much happier.

Zhu Cihong said again: "This third cup of wine, this palace respects the people who provide a steady stream of grain and grass equipment for the front-line soldiers, and the officials who raise grain and grass and military salaries!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Cihong raised his glass and saluted the outside of the hall, and touched the prison army Fang Zhenghua, Chen Xinjia, and Liaodong Governor Qiu Minyang and others present.

Fang Zhenghua and the others hurriedly bowed down to dodge, not daring to touch, and then took a sip of the wine in their respective cups.

The three cups were exhausted, Zhu Cihong sat down slowly, his mood was a little heavy, in fact, the third cup he wanted to respect the most was Xue Guoguan, the head of the cabinet who offended a large number of people because of the raising of military salaries, grain and grass.

Xue Guoguan offended the nobles, eunuchs and all the officials, so he raised half a year's food and salary for the front-line army, and thus took his life.

Zhu Cihong looked down on him a little before, thinking that he could only observe words and looks, figure out the holy will, slap horses, and like to be greedy for ink.

It wasn't until he learned that Xue Guoguan had done so many things that others didn't dare to do and made such a big contribution, that Zhu Cihong was impressed by him, and even a little hard to believe.

He remembered He Shen in history, although He Shen was greedy, he would be a man and do things, he had settled many things for Qianlong and never overstepped his authority, Qianlong farted, and He Shen would immediately blush to cover up for the emperor, such an official was what the emperor needed most.

However, Emperor Chongzhen will not use it, he is afraid that he will kill two princes, this is obviously a conspiracy, even if Chongzhen faintly knows, he does not dare to easily touch those people, but instead finds Xue Guoguan to take the blame.

Maybe Chongzhen is worried about his own life, even the prince can die, what else can't those people do? The causes of death of Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi, as Emperor Daming, should know better than anyone else, otherwise he would not have firmly grasped the military power of Jingying, and the people he used were the people he trusted the most.

Chongzhen didn't dare to do anything to Xungui, maybe he suspected that Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, who held the military power of the Beijing camp, and the British Duke were also involved in this matter, Zhu Cihong believed that it was normal for Chongzhen, who was suspicious by nature, to have this kind of suspicion.

However, Chongzhen's death of Xue Guoguan has touched the interests of Zhu Cihong, Xue Guoguan is an important layout in Beijing, as soon as this person dies, plus Xue Guoguan's people are liquidated, Zhu Cihong's power in the court has been cut off by most, which is a very serious matter.

Zhu Cihong made up his mind that after he went back, he would ask the emperor's father for something, after all, he was also a powerful man......

With the progress of the celebration banquet, the generals put down the memory of the fallen soldiers in their hearts, a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and they began to push glasses and change lamps with each other.

When the celebration banquet entered the climax, the atmosphere at the deputy general's table was a little strange. I don't know who first talked about the battle against Shengjing, and inevitably talked about the first break of the city and the first to plant the military flag on the gate of the Qing Dynasty.

The more Guan Ningjun and the Qin soldiers heard it, the more unpleasant they became, sacrificing so many soldiers to get the first credit, but they didn't expect to be the first to be broken by the Tianwu Army.

Sun Yingyuan, the chief general of the Tianwu Army, made great achievements, whether it was the battles that led the Yongwei Battalion around the Beijing Division a few years ago, or went south to quell the rebellion, the record is not to be said, he is a recognized famous general in the government and the opposition.

Everyone didn't dare to talk about Zhou Yuji privately, so they had to sprinkle their anger on Qi Guangyang, who seized the Great Qing Gate, after all, Qi Guangyang robbed them of their glory and the last chance, and the most important thing is that Qi Guangyang's official position is too small.

At this time, Qi Guangyang was sitting in the seat of the deputy general, he made great contributions, and after Qi Jin, he was specially taken care of by Zhu Cihong.

After a few glasses of wine, someone began to say in a strange manner: "Hmph, a small guerrilla general is also worthy of squeezing at the same table with the lieutenant generals?" It's really no big or small! ”

Although Qi Guangyang was young and vigorous, he was also angry in his heart, but he knew how to measure and forcibly suppressed his anger, and secretly said that today is a banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to celebrate the achievements of all the generals, and he can't spare everyone's interest because of impulse, making it difficult for His Royal Highness.

Qi Guangyang raised his eyelids, glanced at the person who spoke, and secretly remembered it, and when he met outside the barracks, he was looking for an opportunity to practice with him and teach him to be a man.

The man shouted, "What do you see?" Lao Tzu is talking about you, let me out! ”

Qi Guangyang's side sat Gao Bang, the brigade commander of the First Royal Brigade, who was also Qi Guangyang's boss, seeing that his brother was humiliated, Gao Bang patted him and asked him to sit down, glanced at the person who spoke, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked with a strange smile: "What kind of thing are you, dare to let my brother go?" ”

The deputy general frowned and said, "So-and-so, Ning Yuan's deputy general Wu Sanfeng!" ”

Gao Bang said disdainfully: "It turned out to be Wu Sangui's brother, which dog should I be barking here!" ”

Wu Sanfeng stood up suddenly, pointed at Gao Bang and said angrily: "The surname is Gao, you dare to insult me!" ”

Gao Bang sneered: "As the saying goes, those who insult others will always be humiliated, you insult my brother first, what's wrong with Lao Tzu insulting you?" Look at your little appearance with a red and white face, do you want to go out with Lao Tzu to practice? ”

Like Wu Sangui, Wu Sanfeng grew up with a golden key, where can he stand this kind of grievance, he shouted: "Don't think that the Tianwu Army can rely on the grace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show off his power with me here, this is in Liaodong, not Fengyang!" ”

Gao Bang stood up with a bang, smashed the dishes in front of him with a fist, and shouted: "What's wrong with Liaodong, Lao Tzu still picked your dog skin here!" ”
