When Kangxi fainted, it meant that the battle was completely lost, and the rest was to recover the losses as much as possible.

Originally, there were about 10,000 cavalry led by Nersu to charge into battle, but after this charge, the casualties were very heavy, with more than 3,000 cavalry lost, and 2,000 cavalry were surrounded by the Fuhan Legion, and it was almost difficult to get out of the battlefield, and in this melee environment, it was also difficult for the cavalry who could not run to get rid of the entanglement of the foot soldiers.

Nersu gritted his teeth fiercely, he already had several knife wounds on his arms and thighs, and it was thanks to the fact that in addition to wearing cotton armor, he also had a layer of inner armor inside, which allowed him to break away from the crowd of the Fu Han army without danger, of course, after this battle, the guards around him were completely lost.

A large number of Qing army horses were constantly pursued by the Fu Han army, and from time to time someone was pulled off the horse by the Fu Han army soldiers, and then they were stabbed to death with bayonets, and blood sprayed out like rain, so that more and more Qing army horse teams began to panic and rushed out of the many obstacles of the Fu Han army and retreated to the rear.

As the rain gradually stopped, the Qing army's horse team struggled to advance in the muddy water, and the soldiers of the Fu Han army also stopped pursuing, after all, after a long battle, many people were directly tired to lie in the mud to rest, not to mention the pursuit of the Qing army, even swinging a sword became a very difficult thing.

Ning Yu's face was covered with muddy water, his face was full of excitement and pride, this battle of the Han army can be said to be extremely exciting, even quite against the sky, of course, the first credit is the entire grenadier battalion.

They almost used their flesh and blood to delay the impact momentum of the Qing army's horse team, and it was precisely because of this that they avoided the impact of the frontal Fu Han army and preserved the overall advantage of this battle. But in this way, the casualties of the grenadier battalion can be called heavy, and there are not many people left who can really move.

Ning Yu walked quickly towards Gong Shucheng, the banner of the blood-colored grenadier battalion was still standing in his arms, the white tiger on it seemed to let out a roar like earth-shattering, and the corpses of the Qing soldiers lying around him were enough to show how many people Gong Shucheng had encountered.

"We won this battle! Battalion Commander Gong, let's have a celebration party together! ”

While speaking, Ning Yu reached out to help Gong Shucheng up, but when his fingers touched his body, a trace of astonishment flashed on Ning Yu's face, only to see that with such a light touch, Gong Shucheng's whole person fell directly to the ground, and then he saw that his chest was scarred, and the blood seemed to be running dry, but he had already lost his breath.

The surrounding soldiers of the Fu Han Army lowered their heads slightly, but their faces were irrepressible grief, they knew in their hearts that Gong Shucheng, the fourth commander of the grenadier battalion, had died in battle, just like his first three battalion commanders, in order to protect the battalion flag of the grenadier battalion, he died on the battlefield.

Ning Yu pursed his lips tightly, his dry lips were bloodshot, and his eyes were somewhat complicated, he remembered Gong Shucheng, but he didn't remember where he was from, and he didn't talk to him properly, but when it was really time to fight hard, Gong Shucheng didn't complain.

"Battalion Commander Gong's horse leather shroud, who died on the battlefield, is the hero of my generation!"

Cheng Ming walked over slowly and sighed softly, not knowing whether to feel sorry for Gong Shucheng or for Ning Yu to lose such a tiger general.

"Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the body be returned in horse leather."

Ning Yu read this poem that had never come out yet, and a trace of grief flashed on his face, but he quickly controlled his expression and said quietly: "Chen Wu, Ma Yan, Gao Yunyi, Deng Fang, Xu Zhuo..... And Gong Shucheng, how can I forget them when I return to the Han Army? It's just that there are more important things to do right now. ”

This more important thing is naturally to completely defeat the Qing army that is blocking it head-on.

The battle lasted for a long time, but the rain finally stopped completely, so the artillery of the Fu Han army was also pulled out, and in a roar, the morale of the Qing soldiers in front of the Qing army was about to collapse, not because of how many casualties the artillery caused to the Qing army, but everyone knew in their hearts that the Qing army had lost the last turning point.

In the camp of the Qing army, Nersu strode into the camp tent with a body of blood, knelt down in front of Kangxi's couch, kowtowed a few times, and raised his head with tears on his face.

"Your Majesty, the minions are incompetent! Slaves deserve death! ”

After all, Nersu is only a man in his early thirties, and he has been appreciated by Kangxi, at this time, seeing Kangxi unconscious, his heart is like a knife cut, grief-stricken, and the ministers on the side saw this soberness, and some people wanted to pull him up, but Nersu broke free.

He slowly straightened up, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, but stained his face with blood, which looked even more vicious, and turned to stand in front of the ministers, his face was already blue and black, and he slowly glanced around at the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my incompetence has caused the Ma army to be frustrated, and I am willing to take the death penalty myself. But now that the emperor has fainted, why don't you take the emperor away quickly, what are you waiting for here? Chu Regent's soldiers are less than five miles away from here! ”

Tong Fahai took a step forward, sighed and said, "King Pingjun, this is an order from the slave to wait for King Pingjun to come back." ”

"What's the point?" Narsu took a step forward, but had already pressed his hand to the hilt.

Tong Fahai ignored it, he just knelt down and kowtowed a few times in the direction of Kangxi, then stood up and said slowly: "The emperor's trip must be covered by cavalry, otherwise once he is dragged by the Fu Han army, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"As for Chu Rebellion, I, Tong Fahai, am willing to go to the front of the battle to beat drums and cheer to boost morale, and to fight for the emperor and my Qing Dynasty a chance to breathe."

After these words came out, Nersu gasped, he naturally understood that going to the front of the battle at this time was almost killing himself, because the thousands of Qing soldiers who were still left in the front had become outcasts, and there was no longer a chance to survive.

The 20,000 Qing soldiers in front of the battle can be said to be the last strength of the forward battalion and the guard battalion, but in this battle, the dozen or so commanders and deputy commanders of the forward battalion have all died in front of the battle, and the firearms battalion is almost wiped out.

On February 28, the 61st year of Kangxi, the situation of the Qing army completely collapsed, and the Kangxi Emperor fainted in front of the battle.

In order to block the pursuit of the Han army, Tong Fahai, the secretary of the military department, resolutely went to the front of the battle to encourage morale, organized the army to resist the offensive of the Han army, and blocked it for about half a day.

It's just that Kangxi at this time, under the leadership of the Xiaocai Battalion and the Escort Battalion, has passed through the Daguan, chose to make a detour to Beikip Pass, and retreated all the way to Luzhou from the trail. It's just that due to the complete cut off of logistical supplies and the detour of remote trails, the Qing army's horses were almost eaten up, and many Eight Banners soldiers died on the road.

Fortunately, the Qing army at this time was less than 10,000 people, so it was barely able to pass through the small road, if it was tens of thousands of horses, it would be difficult to pass, so it was very embarrassing to drag Kangxi back to Luzhou Mansion.

After the Fu Han army finished this battle, it did not pursue, after all, the enemy encountered this time was the essence of the entire Qing Dynasty, and it was already very good to be able to eat it, if it was blindly pursued, there would be losses that should not have occurred, but in the end it failed to capture or kill Kangxi on the battlefield, which made Ning Yu a little disappointed.

But later, looking at the Qing army that fled north in embarrassment, Ning Yu also felt a little dark in his heart, if he really killed Kangxi on the battlefield and martyred the Qing Dynasty with this body, it was not good that he finally ended up with the name of a saint, but it was cheaper for him.

In addition, Ning Yu vaguely remembered that Kangxi was almost dying, and now beating him back like this can be regarded as cutting the face of the so-called holy monarch, and it is not bad. At that time, whether Kangxi dies or not, the current situation is enough to make him lose face and die of anger on the spot.

It's just that Ning Yu is quite respectful of Tong Fahai, putting aside his position, at least Tong Fahai can be regarded as loyal to the country and died on the battlefield, and he can be regarded as a generation of good ministers, but the general trend is inviolable, and finally choosing to kill himself can be regarded as fulfilling his loyalty.

In the following days, Ning Yu was not idle, but even busier than before, after all, after the end of this war, there were corpses everywhere, in order to prevent the post-war plague, so it was necessary to immediately arrange people to disperse the battlefield, burn the corpses, and bring the bones of the Fu Han army who died in the war back to their hometown in the future.

However, after this battle, I don't know how long it took, Lu Tingyi was renamed by the locals, it seems that because in this battle, there were too many generals killed in the battle, and everyone subtly called this place the general's grave.

Gossip aside, after Ning Yu dealt with this matter, his mood did not improve much, but deteriorated a little, the reason is very simple, after this battle, the entire Fu Han army almost knocked out their bottoms.

"Although our army won a great victory in this battle, the losses were not small, first of all, the cost of silver was as high as 3.5 million taels, 300,000 catties of iron, and more than 200,000 catties of gunpowder..... It's thanks to the rain in the middle, otherwise it would have been more out...."

Li Fu held a stack of thick account books in his hand, stroking his beard while chattering, but before he finished reading, he had already plucked off his beard a lot.

"This is not over, we have beheaded more than 30,000 people in this battle, captured 10,000 enemies, but our own battle casualties have reached more than 7,800 people..... These people's buried silver and the pension for the settlement are a lot of silver, and the sum of the zeros and zeros adds up, and the old man is also shocked when he looks at it! ”

"Mr. Lee, tell me how much money is left in the account....... Also, did my father allocate military funds? ”

Listening to Li Fu's nagging in his ear, Ning Yu also felt a little headache, he was only wearing a thin cyan single clothes, holding his forehead and sighing.

When Li Fu saw Ning Yu's appearance, he felt a little bad at the moment, so he carefully said slowly: "Last month, the King of Chu specially allocated a sum of silver, as high as three million taels, which is said to have been borrowed by the Prince of Chu and those copper-smelling merchants, I am afraid that there is something .....inappropriate in this."

"What's wrong? In order to raise military expenses, Emperor Xiaojing also allowed Zhou Yafu to borrow money from Shangjia..... As long as you can win, why not borrow more? Is it possible to be afraid that you can't afford it? ”

Speaking of this, Ning Yu showed a sneer on his face, "If we are defeated, we don't know where our heads are, what else do we need to return?" ”

Li Fu was stunned when he heard this, he thought that he was also thick and black, but compared with this master, he was just like a simple white rabbit, good guy, in the eyes of this master, the money borrowed by the original ability can not be repaid!

"Go on, you haven't talked about the point yet..... Ning Yu is a little excited, he really doesn't want to face these numbers, but if this problem is not solved, the time of the next eastward expedition to Jiangnan will be affected, and if the Qing court makes any more tricks, it will not be fun.

Li Fu settled down and continued: "It turns out that there are more than one million taels of silver in the account, plus the three million taels allocated by the prince of Chu before, but it is still a little insufficient, and there is still a difference of about 500,000 taels at the moment, especially at the moment Anqing has not won it...... That's another lot of silver! ”

"Hiss....." This time it was Ning Yu's turn to sit still, if he was really stumped by money at the moment, it would not be fun, although it was said that there were some captures along the way, but those in front of the money-burning machine of war, they couldn't take long.

At that time, even if you take Anqing and loot it from Anqing City, it is estimated that at most one or two million taels of silver will be looted, relying on this money alone, it is far from enough to take Jiangnan, but if you miss this opportunity now, you will regret it.

Speaking of which, the foundation of the Fu Han Army is too thin, and there have been a series of battles since the start of the army, but there is no time to digest the results of the battle, which has led to today's situation, but it is normal.

Even if the Qing Dynasty, which is rich all over the world, has encountered the Fu Han Army, Zhu Yigui and the perennial conspiracy Alabutan one after another, this treasury has been beaten to the point that it can run rats, so that Kangxi's southern expedition this time can be regarded as taking out the last copper plate.

Li Fu looked at Ning Yu's sad face, but he didn't know what he was doing in his heart, so he quietly stepped forward and attached his ears.

"Why don't we borrow some more money from Shang Jia?"

Of course, there is still half a sentence that I didn't say in my heart, that is, it is impossible to repay the money, and I will never pay it back in my life.

But Ning Yu didn't think so in his heart, in the early years of the Huguang Chamber of Commerce, but the hen that he had cultivated with great difficulty to lay golden eggs, now if he was for these millions of taels of silver, he would eat the chicken, but it was a big loss-making transaction.

But where can I get this money?
