Looking at Qin Hong's excited look, Zhu Houzhao just smiled and nodded, without saying anything, armor and cavalry are good things, but it is definitely not easy for Da Ming to make a reloaded surprise soldier that meets the requirements, or a plate armored cavalry, this is something that requires great effort, and at the same time, it also requires great determination.

Whether it is a war horse, plate armor, or a soldier, this requires training and preparation, and Zhu Houzhao didn't know how many years it would take to complete.

After removing the armor, Zhu Houzhao returned to Guyuan City with people, and there was nothing left for him, he just needed to wait for news here.

At dusk, Wang Shouren walked in from outside, with an excited expression on his face, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Highness, the results are out, in today's battle, we killed 3,762 people, and then pursued and beheaded 748 people, captured 2,426 people, and captured 4,362 war horses. ”

More than 10,000 people, more than 3,700 people were beheaded, 30% of them were beheaded, and that's it, counting the prisoners and pursuers, more than 7,000 Tatar soldiers were left in this battle, and these 10,000 people can be declared annihilated by the whole army.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and then asked, "What about our people?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, four hundred and seventy-two people were killed in battle, three hundred and twenty-one were seriously wounded, and seven hundred and forty-two were lightly wounded." When Wang Shouren heard Zhu Houzhao ask this question, the smile on his face disappeared, and he could see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not very interested in the numbers of beheading, and when he talked about the battle damage, he could also feel the unhappiness and distress in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart.

"Your Highness, a great victory!" At this time, Qin Hong walked in from the outside and said excitedly, Qin Hong was even more excited than Wang Shouren.

After entering the room, Qin Hong found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and his face became serious, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned his head to Qin Hong and said, "Lord Qin, this is the battle damage this time!" As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper in his hand to Qin Hong.

As a result, after glancing at the paper, Qin Hong asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with this battle damage?" That's fine! Saying that, Qin Hong still didn't understand: "With 5,000 against 10,000, not only defeated the other party, but also beheaded more than 4,000 and captured more than 2,000, this is a big victory, so less to win more, so battle damage, it's really amazing!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only superb in martial arts, skilled in bows and horses, but also good at this training, and the ministers congratulate His Royal Highness, His Majesty, and Daming!"

Zhu Hou looked at Qin Hong, he was not stupid, of course he knew that Qin Hong could see that he was unhappy, and he also knew why he was unhappy, but he still chose to say these words.

Sure enough, seeing Zhu Houzhao turn his head to look over, Qin Hong's expression also became serious, and he said directly: "Your Highness, whether it is three sides or nine sides, people are dying every year, there are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are dying every year, and they are all dying under the knife of the Tartars. These soldiers were indeed killed in battle, and they were trained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that if they have plate armor and better war horses, they may not die in battle, and we will win a greater victory with smaller battle damage."

Zhu Houzhao stared at Qin Hong, in fact, he thought so, not to mention those who died in battle, and those who were seriously injured could not go to the battlefield, adding up to a thousand people less For, in this battle, the five thousand people who practiced by themselves went to two percent. If they all had their own plate armor, would they still have such high battle damage? Zhu Houzhao thinks it will definitely not.

So in the eyes of others, the big victory in Zhu Houzhao's eyes is not very comfortable, although he also thinks that this is a big victory, but he feels that he has not done a good job, let these die in vain, he is blaming himself.

Qin Hong continued: "Your Highness, these people did not die in vain, they shocked the Tartars, they stabilized the hearts of the three sides, they raised the morale of the three sides, and more importantly, they avenged the soldiers of the three sides who died in the previous battle and the people of the three sides who were slaughtered. When it is equipped, Your Highness, the Tartars will not wait, so what to do at this time? ”

"Yes, you can fill it with your life, Your Highness, nothing in the world will happen if you are fully prepared, and the enemy will always catch you off guard."

Zhu Hou looked at Qin Hong, nodded slightly, and then said, "Qin Qing, do you think this palace still needs to be searched?" Bengong thought, if you wait for two years, maybe the search will be much simpler, but now, it is to fight for the lives of the Ming soldiers, and it is to fight for the lives of the Ming people, is it worth it? ”

"I think this battle is enough!" Qin Hong shook his head directly, then picked up his robe and knelt on the ground.

Zhu Houzhao was immediately shocked, and hurriedly stood up from the chair, Qin Hong was so old, giving Zhu Houzhao such a big gift, Zhu Houzhao really didn't dare to be so angry. Hurriedly walked over and helped Qin Hong up, Zhu Houzhao didn't move, the old man's strength was quite strong, Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to let the old man kneel.

"Your Highness, the situation in the northwest is stable, and today's victory is enough for the fire sieve not to dare to enter the prison easily, and the ministers will pacify the place in the northwest, train the soldiers, and reclaim the wasteland for the coming day."

"Although the cavalry in the hands of His Highness is brave, but the number is small, it is not appropriate to search for the set at this time, these cavalry should continue to train and expand, he is not allowed too much, 30,000 cavalry is enough to sweep the Hetao. The minister is in the northwest for His Royal Highness to store grain and train troops, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to the northwest to search for sets, and the minister knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince, for the Ming Dynasty, for the world. ”

Obviously, Qin Hong still doesn't approve of going to search now, and after this battle, Zhu Houzhao also knows that it is indeed inappropriate to search for a set now.

Although the northwest can produce 15,000 cavalry, it is estimated that it is cavalry, that is, infantry cavalry, that is, infantry can ride horses, and cavalry are fundamentally different things. Although his own cavalry could fight, the number was too small, only 5,000 men. Now there are less than 4,000 left to fight, and if you go to search for it, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to fight.

Obviously, the Mongolian tribes at this time were not as wasted as they were later, whether it was combat literacy or fighting will, they were very good.

Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to help Qin Hong up, and said softly: "Qin Qing, give the palace two years, within two years, the palace must bring the cavalry to the northwest, take the cavalry to search the set, and take the cavalry to fight the Fengzhou Beach." ”

"The minister is waiting for that day in the northwest!" Qin Hong's face immediately showed a smile of relief, and he bowed to Zhu Houzhao.

Although the search plan failed this time, the goal of teaching the fire screen a lesson was achieved, and this time it should be able to stop the fire screen for a while. In the following days, Zhu Houzhao began to follow Qin Hong's side and learn from him to do things, this is a rare opportunity, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to let it go, after all, the next time he comes here is not sure when.

The first thing Qin Hong did was to go to the battlefield to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the fallen soldiers, and then select strong men, set up tuntian, reiterate the order, and increase the number of Guyuan defenders. Repair the city outline, attract merchants, and prosper the economy. Zhu Houzhao found that Qin Hong was really a talent, as if he could do anything, and in order to reclaim wasteland in the north of Guyuan, he also made a kind of Quansheng car.

It can defend against the enemy in wartime and can be used for transportation in peacetime, Zhu Houzhao thinks that this is how the later car battalion evolved?

mentioned Cheying, Zhu Houzhao thought of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang was definitely not born, so what about Yu Dayou's birth? Zhu Houzhao felt that he should be able to get along with Yu Dayou, as for Yu Dayou's temper, Zhu Houzhao didn't care at all, what happened to the generals who could fight, with a more upright temper? Who did it right and who did it wrong, Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to mention it.

When Zhu Houzhao was busy in the northwest with Qin Hong, the battle report in the northwest naturally reached the capital as soon as possible.

As the governor of the three sides, Qin Hong wrote a war report and handed it over, and at the same time wrote a message to the cabinet, this kind of war report is naturally expedited, and it also involves Zhu Houzhao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally faster. It took five days to submit the question book from Guyuan to the cabinet, and when the question book was received, the three scholars in the cabinet did not dare to delay, and directly took the question book and entered the palace.

At this time, Zhu Youzhu was reading the question book in the Qianqing Palace, his son was gone, and the question book had to be read by himself, Zhu Youzhu swore in his heart that he would not let his son go out to wave next time, and let him accompany him to read the question book in the palace. The queen's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her son is not here, which makes Zhu Youzhu a little tired, and his dissatisfaction with his son is getting thicker and thicker.

"Emperor, three scholars ask to meet!" He Neng came to Zhu Youzhang's side and hurriedly bowed down.

Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, the three scholars came together, is something going on? And it must be a big deal, otherwise it would be impossible for the three cabinet scholars to come together. Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu put down the question book in his hand and said, "Let them in!" At the same time, he sorted out his mentality and waited for the three cabinet scholars to come in.

The three of them walked in from outside, and Liu Jian, a scholar of the first assistant university of the cabinet, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, great joy, great victory in the northwest." ”

Things still have to be made clear first, don't scare the emperor.

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhu immediately smiled, the northwest was like a big stone pressing on his heart, and now the news of the big victory actually came, which was simply great. Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu asked with a smile: "Liu Aiqing, talk about it quickly." ”

Liu Jian naturally wanted to behave actively at this time, and hurriedly said: "This is the inscription book on the trilateral general system Qin Hong, and the inscription book explains the beginning and end of this great victory. After the prince and Qin Hong arrived on the three sides, they went to Guyuan, stationed in Jieguyuan to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, Qin Hong pacified the people's security army, and the prince sent soldiers to strangle the Tartar soldiers wandering outside the city of Guyuan. ”

"It was fruitful, the Tartar soldiers were angry and pursued, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a plan to show the enemy to be weak, lure the enemy to attack the city, and the Tartars were really fooled and began to attack Guyuan."
