Gao Hongtu cried and left, followed by 12,300 people, which is the total number of more than 5,000 people collected by Li Chengdong. There were also some regimental training soldiers who ran away under the pursuit of He Luohui (that is, the part of the Ming army that was separated east of the earthen wall of the Qing army's trench), and later they also arrived at Tuhe Renzi Fort one after another, and finally counted, there were about more than two thousand.

In other words, the 28,000 people that Gao Hongtu brought to the Tuhe battlefield, plus the 2,000 people who stayed behind in the Tuhe Fort, there were about 15,000 people left in the end, and more than half of them were lost!

Oh, and the 2,000 people under Ma Degong ran to Liaocheng, which doesn't seem to be counted in the losses...... If Gao Hongtu gritted his teeth again and confronted Duoduo as a whole team, these 2,000 people and the other more than 10,000 Ming troops guarding Liaocheng would be able to be saved.

But Gao Hongtu just cried and left! Now Dodor will be able to blow it out. In fact, his losses are enough to make people feel distressed, in the "Tuweizi First Battle", Xu Dingguo's green battalion soldiers, as well as the Han army and Baoyi who supervised the battle, suffered heavy losses, with a total of no less than 2,500 dead and wounded.

In the "Tuhe Breakout Battle", Wu Weihua's green battalion was almost wiped out, and the green battalion and the Han army under Gang Atai also suffered heavy losses, with a total loss of more than 5,000.

However, what distressed Duoduo the most was the loss of the Eight Banners warriors under his hands...... The losses in this battle on the banks of the Tuhe River were even worse, with a total of more than 800 casualties!

In other words, the casualties of the Duoduo troops in the Battle of Tuhe also reached 8,3400. Considering that most of the wounded were incurable wounds and javelin wounds, and that the medical conditions before the Duoduo army were extremely poor, the number of people who died or lost their combat ability was probably no less than 5,800!

This battle is a real crushing victory for the Qing Dynasty!

If we add in the losses in Qufu and the fragmentary losses suffered by the Qing army after entering Shandong, including those who died of disease, those who were killed in attacks on some insignificant fortresses, those who were missing or killed or wounded as scouts, and those who were killed or wounded in the course of plundering missions, a total of eight or nine thousand Qing troops were lost...... Among them, the loss of real Manchuria was no less than 1,000 people!

And the total number of troops that Duoduo brought to Shandong was only forty-five or six thousand, so where did he fight now? There are no eight or nine thousand people, and there are more than thirty-seven or eight left, and it doesn't look like they can rely on them to defeat Shandong.

However, Duoduo still seized the mistake of Gao Hongtu retreating, packaged himself as a winner, and then gathered more than 30,000 troops and forced Liaocheng, the first county of Dongchang.

This forced the situation in Shandong to be in favor of the Qing Dynasty and slightly pushed it forward.

Because at this time, in Liaocheng City, there were two alternate traitors, one was Bai Yongfu, the general of Dongchang Town, who had been secretly communicating with the Qing soldiers for a while.

The other, of course, is Ma Degong, who escaped from the Tuhe battlefield to Liaocheng - in history, he had the great merit of capturing Emperor Hongguang and dedicating it to the Qing Dynasty!

In this time and space, because he is Huang Degong's general, Zhu Cihong is not easy to start. had to find an excuse to kick him to Shandong and hand him over to Gao Hongtu Education.

But unexpectedly, he misjudged the situation in the Battle of Tuhe. thought that Gao Hongtu was over, so he escaped from the battle and ran to Liaocheng. After entering Liaocheng, he bragged to Duoduo even more, and exaggerated Gao Hongtu's failure.

If Gao Hongtu still stayed on the Tuhe front line to confront Duoduo at this time, then Ma Degong would almost lose his head.

But Gao Hongtu retreated, and Duoduo approached Liaocheng as a victor.

Ma Degong, who escaped from the battle, and was trapped in Liaocheng for several days, and Bai Yongfu, the deputy general of Dongchang, who did not understand the current traitor market of the Qing Dynasty, had the opportunity to incite a mutiny - the Ming army in Liaocheng City, except for Ma Degong's men and horses, was surrounded and dizzy, and he didn't know what the current traitor market was, so it was easy to be instigated by the two of them.

And Liu Zeqing's nephew, Liu Zhiyu, the chief soldier of Dongchang Town, also has a shallow foundation in the army. In the face of the mutiny, he was unable to suppress it, so he had to leave Caozhou with a few personal soldiers and defect to Li Huajing.

After the successful mutiny, Bai Yongfu and Ma Degong surrendered together to Duoduo who was dancing outside Liaocheng!

This made Duoduo overjoyed, because Bai Yongfu and Ma Degong not only presented Duoduo with a Liaocheng fortress that could be relied on as a base, but also brought tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers, which could make up for Duoduo's losses these days.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of stone rice noodles in Liaocheng City, which is enough for the army of Duoduo to eat for half a year.

Now Duoduo finally gained a firm foothold in Shandong, and he also had the capital to continue to fight with the Ming army!

On the other side, Gao Hongtu, who ran back to Jinan Mansion in tears, was lying on his salary and tasting courage to revitalize his regimental training; On the one hand, it gave Nanjing a fold that made Zhu Cihong dumbfounded.

He, the governor of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, actually wanted to set aside a state in the territory under his jurisdiction to reward Li Chengdong, and he also wanted the Ming court to make Li Chengdong the envoy of the Tai'an Army!

"Does this Gao Hongtu think that he is the envoy of Ziqing Town? Did he think Shandong was the private property of the Gao family? He actually rewarded Li Chengdong with Tai'an Prefecture, and asked the palace to seal Li Chengdong as an envoy ......"

In the Forbidden City of Nanjing, on the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, was really a little crying and laughing, pinching the fold handed by Gao Hongtu, and laughing and chanting with questioning words.

The civil and military ministers sitting below were all angry, waiting for Prince Zhu's face to come down, and they were about to impeach Gao Hongtu and Li Chengdong, the two rebellious ministers and thieves.

But Prince Zhu's smiling face didn't mean to put it away.

What does that mean? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to admit that Li Chengdong is the envoy of Tai'an Prefecture?

That's not a good precedent!

Zhu Cihong smiled and asked Shoufu Wei Zaode: "Wei Shoufu, do you say that we will also give Gao Hongtu a festival envoy?" ”

"Isn't this proper......" Wei Zaode hurriedly shook his head, "Gao Hongtu is a minister or a governor......"

"Hehe, isn't his Shandong regimental training a scholar in charge of the soldiers?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "What kind of scholar is he?" Besides, what is the current situation in Shandong? Do you still need a governor? Hongu thought, we can just take care of the southeast cuisine...... The northern land occupies a few important places, and the rest of the feudal envoys or feudal states have nothing, as long as they can block the tartars. ”

Blocking the Tartars, wouldn't Zhu Cihong be able to be his crown prince comfortably, and then progress to become the emperor...... The emperor of half of the country is also the emperor!

Therefore, in Zhu Cihong's view, Gao Hongtu has done a good job, and if there are more such "chaotic ministers and thieves", the Ming Dynasty will be stable. Even if it becomes the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, it's nothing, and the Tang Dynasty hasn't been mixed up for a hundred and fifty years after the Anshi Rebellion?

It's 1645, and plus 150 years is almost 1800...... Napoleon is up!

"It's always inappropriate to seal Gao Hongtu as a festival envoy, and he didn't ask for a seal!" Qian Qianyi frowned, "But Li Chengdong can still be sealed." It's just that...... The disaster of this feudal town still has to be guarded against. There are good ones, but there are also bad ones! Didn't Bai Yongfu and Ma Degong, the two thieves, raise Liaocheng and surrender to the city? ”

"That's right!" Zhu Cihong thought of Zuo Liangyu in Hubei upstream. The old guy is still breathing, and his mind is confused and sober for a while. I don't know if it will be pulled to Qingjun's side at once......

"Then make Li Chengdong an envoy of the Tai'an Army...... Zhu Cihong thought for a while, "Although Gao Hongtu lost a game, he fought well, and he should be rewarded and knighted...... Seal a Laoshan man. ”

"Baron?" Wei Zaode asked.

"That's right!" Zhu Cihong said, "The title reform has been discussed by the Zongren Mansion for a long time, and there is already a draft, which is ready to set up two levels of viscount and baron under the earl, and no longer have any generals and lieutenants." After that, there are six major ranks: prince, county king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron, and each major level is divided into three types: vassal lord, Kenan lord, and liujue. Among them, the vassal lord is torn apart, the Ke Nan Jue is hereditary, and the Liujue is surrendered.

In addition, no matter what the lord is, only one son can inherit it, and the rest of the sons are cloth. ”
