Chapter 17 Kunming Victory

The battle ended in a complete victory for the Ming army.

After the baptism of artillery and grenades by the Ming army, the Qing army had no resistance at all and fled for their lives.

This is also a matter of no choice, the coach dies in battle, and the handsome flag is scattered, what else can they do?

If you don't run away, wait for death?

Those Qing soldiers who did not run away naturally became the ghosts of the Ming army, and their heads were cut off for combat merits.

The great son of tomorrow, Zhu Youlang, personally went out of the city to greet the victorious soldiers.

Bai Wenxuan took the lead and walked in the front, turning over and dismounting when he was more than ten steps away from the Son of Heaven and saluting.

Zhu Youlang hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Wenxuan up, and said in a harmonious voice: "General Bai has worked hard. ”

"It is the duty of a minister to kill captives and repay the country."

At the right time for the cold spring, Zhu Youlang personally took off the big coat and draped it on Bai Wenxuan's body and said: "This battle has relieved the qi and played the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and I am very relieved." ”

Bai Wenxuan naturally didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so courteous to him, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty treats the ministers so kindly, the ministers dare not be ashamed." ”

Zhu Youlang smiled and said: "General Bai is so brave, it is really too humble. ”

He looked around and said to Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo: "How do the King of Jin and the Duke of Qianguo think of this battle?" ”

Li Dingguo hurriedly said: "This great victory in this battle is all the work of Your Majesty. Your Majesty is brave and invincible, and the soldiers are inspired, so that they can kill countless enemies. ”

This sycophant is very well slapped. If you want to make sense, there is some truth to it.

As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Youlang stood at the head of the city, cheered with drums, boosted morale, and even shot arrows to kill the enemy, which did inspire the Ming army soldiers to a large extent, but it was a bit too much to attribute all the credit to Zhu Youlang.

Even loyal ministers like Li Dingguo are inevitably patted on the king's back, which is really embarrassing.

"Your Majesty's heroic martial arts are better than Tang Sect's Han martial arts."

Mu Tianbo's boasting here was even more exaggerated, and even Zhu Youlang's martial arts were better than Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Han Wu Emperor Liu Che said.

That is, Zhu Youlang knew that they were loyal ministers, otherwise he would not have laughed at them.

"I have always believed that the Ming Dynasty will win a great victory in this battle, but this is all the credit of the lives of the three armies."

As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Youlang has no reason to compete with his subordinates. In other words, isn't the greater the merit of a courtier, the more it means that he is a good leader?

To be honest, Zhu Youlang was still a little apprehensive before this battle. After all, the history books have always portrayed the Qing army, especially the elite of the Eight Banners, as an invincible existence.

But after this battle, Zhu Youlang was convinced that the Qing army was not invincible.

They are all flesh and blood, and they are all afraid of rout.

It is true that the defense of Kunming was only the beginning of the Ming and Qing disputes, but the building of confidence was particularly important.

With confidence, many seemingly impossible things have taken a turn for the better.

"Your Majesty, what to do with the corpses of these captives?"

After a pause, Li Dingguo asked in a deep voice.

"After cutting the head and remembering the merits, it was built into a Beijing view. I want to let Dongyu see the fate of me tomorrow! ”

Zhu Youlang blurted out these words, and what he said was categorical.

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and said: "The minister is in charge." ”

He was genuinely delighted.

With such a hero, Daming can really see the hope of ZTE.

...

...

After returning to the palace, Zhu Youlang gradually calmed down.

Although this battle was a complete victory, the contrast in strength between the Ming and Qing dynasties was still huge.

The Ming army now only controls the provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan.

The rest of the land was almost in the hands of the Qing army.

Just the two points of food and soldiers, the Ming Dynasty was crushed to death.

In this battle, nearly half of the artillery ammunition and grenades he brought were consumed, and it is true that the gap can be filled by imitation.

But it remains to be seen how effective it will be.

Moreover, these guns are enough to defend a city and attack a city, but they are a little stretched thin for clearing down.

It seems that you can only do it by climbing the technology tree.

There is a long way to go to turn the tables around.

However, it can be seen that this battle destroyed a lot of confidence of the Qing army. The power of Prussian guns beyond this era made the Qing army feel jealous of the Ming army from the bottom of their hearts.

It is estimated that the Qing army will not dare to attack again for a while and a half, which gives Zhu Youlang time.

Moreover, the Qing army did not know that Zhu Youlang's guns were limited, and as long as they had this deterrent, they would not dare to act rashly.

What made Zhu Youlang even more pleased was that this battle killed Zhao Butai, the general of the Qing army's expedition to the south.

It was definitely an unexpected surprise.

Zhu Youlang ordered Zhao Butai's head to be cut off and hung in the city tower for public display.

Since Li Dingguo became the king twice, Zhao Butai is the highest-ranking general killed by the Ming army, and he must be promoted well.

As soon as he settled down, Zhu Youlang remembered Wen'an who was far away in Yiling.

After the defeat in the Battle of Chongqing, Wen Anzhi should have returned to Yiling, right?

As far as the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is concerned, there is basically no shortage of military generals.

Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, and Feng Shuangli are all first-class tiger generals.

But excellent Wenchen is a scarce resource.

The world is scarry, and there are only a handful of Jinshi in the apocalypse like Wen Anzhi.

The most important thing is that Wen Anzhi is both capable and loyal to the imperial court, and Zhu Youlang intends to transfer Wen Anzhi into the cabinet.

As for the candidate to be sent to eastern Sichuan to represent the imperial court, Zhu Youlang already has a plan in his heart.

At present, the most urgent task is to recuperate and recuperate as soon as possible.

Yunnan is still too poor in general, with limited food output, and now it is barely enough to feed the army.

If you want to go on the Northern Expedition, you have to rely on the grain storage in Jianchang and even the entire Shuzhong.

In a few months, it will be the spring ploughing season, and Zhu Youlang decided to go to the people in person to give the people confidence.

And then there's the training.

Although Li Dingguo was loyal, Zhu Youlang still felt that there should be an army of his own except for Jinyiwei.

This is not that he does not trust Li Dingguo, but that Zhu Youlang can be in the active position at the necessary moment.

He decided to choose from the young men who assisted in defending the city, first, these people were locals and had an instinctive sense of responsibility to defend the country and the land.

Second, these people have already seen blood, and they will not have stage fright on the battlefield.

Compared with those veteran oilers, Zhu Youlang is more willing to use newcomers.

These newcomers are like a blank slate that allows them to train in their own way.

Zhu Youlang wants to build an army completely different from this era and use it as a trump card in his hand.

While he was pondering, the chamberlain Han Miao suddenly came to report: "Emperor, the mother asks to see you." ”

Zhu Youlang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "The queen is here?" ”

Since he came to this world, he has not taken the initiative to meet the queen, mainly because he is afraid that the queen will see something.

After all, some details are only clear between husband and wife, and Zhu Youlang is pretending to be like again, if there are flaws in some details, wouldn't it be a failure?

But now it seems that he can't avoid it.

That's it, just see it, you can't never see the queen for the rest of your life, right?

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!
