Chapter 894. The final result.

"Lord Qiqi Qincha, the Weishui War is over! In this battle, the Dzungar army was either killed or captured, none of them escaped, and the whole army was wiped out! Our army has won a great victory! Our army has won a great victory! ”
With Zhao Dali's loud report, there was a sudden jubilation in the handsome tent!
Although all the officials in the tent saw with their own eyes that the Ming army had the advantage on the Weihe battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was always changing rapidly, and no one dared to be 100% sure of the victory or defeat until the dust settled.
Now, I have finally received tangible news, and my mood is naturally very different.
Many officials forgot their official demeanor and cheered loudly; Wu Qifan, who has always been elegant, was flushed, but he became chattering, and kept muttering "a great victory unseen in a century"; Zhou Bo had a grudge against the Mongols for killing his son, and at this moment, his eyes were closed tightly, and he shed two lines of tears.
There are all the officials in the tent, some of them are incompetent and incompetent, some of them are vegetarian, some of them are greedy and corrupt, and of course there are good officials like Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo who are capable and disciplined, but at this moment everyone's mood is similar.
Every year after the autumn of the fire sifting into the Kou, is a disaster on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, every time will make the Shaanxi and Gansu provinces scorched earth thousands of miles, a mess, not only the people to be burned and looted, the officials are also panicked all day long, the trilateral military town has hundreds of thousands of border troops, but it is difficult to guarantee even their own safety, let alone drive away the enemy, and this year there are countless Dzungar Khanates that slaughtered cities and destroyed the country, and it is a threat that has not been seen in a century!
I think that at the beginning, after learning the news that the Mongolian right wing and the Dzungar Khanate had formed a coalition army of more than 60,000 Mongols, many officials were already mentally prepared to lose their cities and land, and several governors even planned to secretly beg for peace from the imperial court and the Mongol coalition army!
Who would have thought that Zhao Junchen, the disaster relief messenger sent by the imperial court, turned the tide, not only sent the forbidden army reinforcements and a large number of materials to the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu early, but also relied on a small number of guards to defeat thousands of Mongolian cavalry when he first entered Shaanxi and Gansu, which greatly boosted the morale of Shaanxi and Gansu, and then set aside Wang Zheng, the governor of the three sides, and controlled the overall situation of the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu with extraordinary courage, and used various means to control most of the elite forces in Shaanxi and Gansu, formed a new army of soldiers, and eliminated the hidden dangers of the Wang family. Single-handedly formulated a plan to use Jiezhou City to lure the enemy deeper!
In the end, in just more than ten days, the Ming army and the Mongolian coalition army fought many major battles in a row - the offensive and defensive battles of Jiezhou City! Raid battle on the Acropolis of Zhenning! The encirclement and suppression of the Xiaochuan River! And then to today's decisive battle in Weishui! The Ming army, which had always been defeated repeatedly, turned into a strong army with repeated victories under the leadership of Zhao Junchen! It seems that the Mongolian coalition army is fierce and invincible, but after these four battles, it is a situation where the whole army is annihilated, which is something that no one dared to think of before!
But Zhao Junchen not only dared to conceive like this, but also dared to work like this, and finally let him perfectly achieve this feat that has not been seen in a century!
After this battle, with the annihilation of the Mongol coalition army, at least the peace and stability of the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu in the next ten years can be guaranteed, and the Mongolian tribes who originally regarded the Han people as weak lambs will no longer dare to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty at will in the future!
Moreover, listening to the meaning of Zhao Junchen's words during this time, the total annihilation of the Mongol coalition army is only the first step in his ambition, and there is also the idea of further recovering the Hetao area!
Today's battle, of course, is a brilliant result, but in Zhao Junchen's huge plan, it is only an introduction to the strategy of recovering the Hetao in the future!
If the Hetao area really returns to the territory of the Ming Dynasty as planned by Zhao Junchen, it will also completely solve the hidden danger of fire screening into the Kou for the Shaanxi and Gansu sides, and the northwestern provinces will no longer have to worry about foreign invasion!
Thinking back to all the things that have happened during this period of time, the officials in the tent admired Zhao Junchen more and more, and they were excited to congratulate Zhao Junchen again.
Previously, when everyone watched the progress of the war on the high platform of the Chinese army camp, they had already congratulated Zhao Junchen once in advance, and now they congratulated Zhao Junchen again, and most of the congratulatory messages were old-fashioned, but the officials did not feel that they were doing this extra at all, nor did they feel how exaggerated their congratulatory messages were.
Most of them have witnessed all of Zhao Junchen's exploits during this period of time, and they only feel that it is not too much for Ren to praise Zhao Junchen at this time.
The victory in this battle made Zhao Junchen's reputation on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu completely reach its peak!
*
"After this battle, the great achievements of Lord Qincha will surely go down in history and leave a name for eternity!"
"Lord Qincha has achieved such a victory that has not been seen in a hundred years, and he is really the first minister of our dynasty!"
"The feat of Lord Qincha is very fortunate for the imperial court! The people are very happy! ”
In fact, Zhao Junchen is also in the same mood, before the war is completely over, his heart is a little hanging after all, and now after receiving the tangible good news, he is also a little excited.
However, under the congratulations of all the officials, Zhao Junchen still behaved calmly, quite a bit of the style of Xie An of the Western Jin Dynasty.
I saw Zhao Junchen raise his hand and press lightly, and after calming the emotional officials, he turned his gaze to Zhao Dali again and asked, "Can the results of this battle be counted?" What are the casualties of our army? How many enemy troops were captured? …… Also, how many of the main generals of the Dzungar Khanate were captured alive? ”
Zhao Dali was still emotional, and replied in a loud voice: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, according to the news from the front, our army completely annihilated the Dzungar cavalry and servant army in the Mongolian coalition army in this battle, beheaded more than 8,000 in total, captured more than 5,000, and captured more than 11,000 war horses and a large number of weapons and military materials......
Our army's achievements in the battle are remarkable, but the casualties are also very serious, about 15,000 people were killed in the battle, but the casualties of the new army of soldiers, the reinforcements of the forbidden army, and the new army of Qi Bin were few, and the total number of casualties was only about 3,000 people, and most of the casualties came from the border troops on the left flank of our army's defense line......
…… In addition, in the Weishui War, our army also 'mistakenly killed' many Mongolian right-wing cavalry, and the Mongolian right-wing cavalry became the main target of the Dzungar cavalry after the battle against the water, so the casualties of the Mongolian right wing in this battle were not light, and about 5,000 people were killed...... After the Mongolian right-wing cavalry was killed, most of their heads were cut off by our soldiers, and now they are all mixed with the heads of the Junggar cavalry and cannot be distinguished, and now the leader of the Mongolian right wing, Zigmu, is also furious because of this, saying that we have reneged on the alliance and renounced the treaty, and now Fang Zhenshan is arguing with him, but Qi Gemu is angry, and Fang Zhenshan thinks that Qi Gemu will soon come to the Chinese army camp to question Lord Qincha, so he reminded Lord Qincha to prepare early......
After listening to Zhao Dali's report, Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said slowly: "From this point of view, after the four battles of Jiezhou City, Zhenning Acropolis, Xiaochuan River, and Weishui, our army has beheaded more than 28,000 people and captured more than 13,000 prisoners...... The Mongol coalition army now only has the Mongolian right-wing cavalry and the Zhuchagatai army left, of which the Mongolian right-wing cavalry is now only more than 7,000 troops, and the Zhuchagatai army is still less than 2,000 people, all of whom have suffered more than half of the casualties and suffered heavy losses......
It's just that after these four battles, our army also suffered heavy casualties, even if you don't count the casualties in Jiezhou City, there are nearly 40,000 casualties, and these battles can be called tragic in a century......"
Zhao Junchen has been managing the household department for many years, and he is the most sensitive to numbers, and after hearing Zhao Dali's report, he quickly calculated all the casualty figures of the enemy and our army.
The Ming army suffered more than 40,000 casualties in total, and the Mongol coalition army also had 45,000 killed and captured.
You must know that the Ming army can be said to have taken advantage of the right time and place in these battles, and has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, as well as Zhao Junchen's various layout and planning, even so, it cannot have a slight advantage in the number of casualties, and in this regard, the Ming army is not a complete victory.
But for such a result, whether it is Zhao Junchen or the officials in the tent are already deeply satisfied, after all, most of these battles are field battles, originally not the director of the Ming army, the main enemy Junggar cavalry combat power is also better than the elite of the Ming army, if it is not for Zhao Junchen's various layout and planning, even if the Ming army has twice the casualties, it is impossible to have such a remarkable result!
Therefore, after seeing Zhao Junchen calculate the final casualty figures of the two armies, all the officials in the tent congratulated again.
But Zhao Junchen still showed calmness, and did not be triumphant, but shifted his attention to the post-war affairs.
I saw that Zhao Junchen raised his hand again to stop the congratulations of the officials, and then began to convey the military order vigorously.
"Governor Wu, there are now more than 13,000 prisoners in the army, which is quite large, and it is up to you to arrange to complete the expansion of the prisoner camp as soon as possible...... In addition, the wounded soldiers among the captives, if their injuries are not serious, must also be given basic medical treatment, and they cannot be allowed to die easily, and it is of great use for Benchincha to keep these prisoners......"
"Lord Zhou, the military merits of the soldiers should be counted as soon as possible, and the first batch of rewards should be distributed as soon as possible, don't worry about the lack of silver, if it is really not enough, I will naturally find a way to solve it......"
"Lord Gu, you are responsible for the treatment of the wounded soldiers of our army, if I find out that the army neglects the wounded and sick again, I will not spare you......"
"Niu Fude, it is up to you to write a good news with a pen, and send the good news to the imperial court as soon as possible and publicize the ...... in various places."
Under one military order after another, all the officials in the tent were assigned tasks, but Zhao Junchen never mentioned the matter of asking for meritorious service and war report, although this matter was the highlight after the war!
But this matter is not something that Zhao Junchen can decide alone, this is related to the final distribution of interests, and the ranking order of the song will be far-reaching, not only everyone will compete secretly, but Zhao Junchen also needs to consider it carefully for a period of time, so Zhao Junchen temporarily suppressed this matter, and just sent a good news to the court first.
However, according to the time estimate, the good news of the Xiaochuan River War has been sent to the capital at this time, and the Deqing Emperor and the court ministers will inevitably be shocked by the results of the Xiaochuan River War, but now they have not waited for them to recover their strength, and they are about to receive the good news of the Weishui War, but they don't know how they will react at that time.
At least, how the imperial court wants to reward Zhao Junchen's such outstanding military exploits will inevitably lead to a big discussion.
In this regard, Zhao Junchen is looking forward to it!
And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking in secret, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, as if someone was clamoring to see Zhao Junchen.
Then, someone entered the Shuai tent to report, saying that it was several officers of Qi Bin's new army who asked to see Zhao Junchen, and they were quite excited, as if something big had happened.
