Chapter 134: Aftermath
The wind is sluggish, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone, and he will not return.
Of the 300 soldiers who left the station, only 43 came back alive, and all of them were wounded, many of whom were disabled for life.
The Ming army won, a crushing victory.
After the last Jurchen soldier fell, Nurhachi also fell unconscious again, and the Jurchen army withdrew in silence, all the way to the east, never to stop again.
Ye Xun ordered the bodies of the Jurchen soldiers to be buried on the spot, and the Tieling soldiers, whether they were wounded or killed, must all be brought back to the city, and the injured should be treated, and the deceased should also be rearranged before being buried.
Ye Xun personally carried Zhang Baoguo's body and walked at the forefront, no matter who wanted to take it, he glared back, this is a hero and a martyr, Ye Xun must personally send them home.
The Jurchens were gone, but the soldiers and civilians of the city did not cheer as they did yesterday, and everyone spontaneously lined up on both sides of the road to greet the heroes who had died and wounded in defense of their homeland with tears.
Countless people crowded around the roadside, from outside the city to inside the city, with no end in sight.
Ye Xun carried Zhang Baoguo's body directly to the city, and said loudly in the direction of the Jurchen army: "Brother Baoguo, the heroic spirit is not far away, do you see it?" The enemy has been defeated by you, the fathers and villagers have been saved, the people here will not forget you, this land will not forget you, and the robes who have killed the enemy side by side with you will not forget you, go all the way."
In the end, Ye Xun couldn't say any more, tears rolled down his cheeks, and the civil and military officials behind him were already crying.
Those who have not witnessed this battle with their own eyes will never understand the feelings of these people, let alone know the efforts made by Ye Xun in the middle.
After placing the remains of the warriors, Ye Xun announced that a burial ceremony would be held for these heroes in three days.
At the same time, he ordered Cheng Yu to draft a report to Wanli to report the victory, and the way to report the victory must be made with great fanfare, so that all Liaodong people know that Nurhachi once again collapsed under Tieling City.
The news spread, the whole Liaodong suddenly boiled, the people have beaten gongs and drums to celebrate, the civil and military officials of the cities are mixed, you must know that when Nurhachi's army approached Tieling, but there was no army to support, now Liaodong is slightly vacant, and there is no governor, from that aspect, Liaodong is respected by Ye Xun.
And as we all know, Ye Xun is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and now Ye Xun has repelled Jiannu again, which is equivalent to using practical actions to show the correctness of the emperor's support for him, Ye Xun is so young, he must have a bright future!
After thinking about this, civil and military officials from all over the country prepared all kinds of gifts and poured in to Tieling from all directions.
There is not a lot of rain in the north, it seems to feel the sadness of the soldiers and civilians of Tieling, early in the morning, the drizzling rain has not stopped, and today is also the day when Zhang Baoguo and other strong men are buried.
Just yesterday, Ye Xun issued an order to the entire Liaodong garrison in the name of the Liaodong garrison, and the content of the order was one, giving preferential compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers, and if there was any deduction of the pension money, the officials would be dismissed at the least, and the head would be killed at the worst, and anyone could report directly to Ye Xun.
After the order was issued, Ye Xun personally sent the pension of 500 taels of silver per person to the homes of the fallen soldiers, and Zhang Bao's country was 3,000 taels.
The families of those who died in battle will not only receive silver, but will also be taken care of by the government, exempted from all labor taxes, and permanently.
As soon as this news came out, it undoubtedly reassured the soldiers, because they no longer had to worry that after they died in battle, their families would be left alone.
In the drizzle, Ye Xun ignored the muddy roads and personally helped the coffins to send the last ride to the heroes.
The cemetery is not far from the city, and Ye Xun also plans to build an ancestral hall here, so that these heroic spirits can enjoy incense and the admiration of future generations in all seasons.
After a burst of cannon sounds, the body was slowly buried, buried in the soil, and the monument was erected, and Cheng Yu stood in the rain and read the sacrifice aloud, and the ceremony was completed from then on.
Looking at the more than 200 newly piled graves, Ye Xun's heart began to be a little blocked again, you must know that a person who practices advanced internal skills is very good at cultivating qi, but Ye Xun has been a little sentimental recently.
Maybe I've been too nervous lately!
Ye Xun can only comfort himself like this.
After the rain, the sun seems to be rejuvenated again, and when it shines on people, there is a feeling of heat.
The pace of war is gone, the city is gradually recovering from its grief, and the streets are bustling with people more than ever.
Ye Xun did not meet any of the officials who came to visit, and he had been busy dealing with the aftermath of the fallen soldiers in the past two days, but today, there is something that has to be done.
It was still that study, there was an iron tower-like Kuomur standing outside the door, Ye Xun was standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and Sun Dong was kneeling on the ground behind him.
It's also quite interesting to say, the night before the war, Sun Dong had already decided to surrender to Ye Xun, but he also wanted to give Ye Xun a gift, that is, those so-called green forest heroes.
But when he returned to the place where they were stationed again, he found that no one was there.
At that time, he scared Sun Dong enough, and thought that someone had seen through his mind and hid it.
It wasn't until he caught a good man in the city who didn't make it because he wasn't familiar with the route that he knew that after he left, those heroes left one after another, and they never came back.
Sun Dong was also happy when he heard it, he knew very well that if he went to report this matter to Xu Hongru, with Xu Hongru's ruthlessness, he would also not let him go.
So he gritted his teeth, and ran to Ye Xun's mansion again that night to surrender.
After listening to Sun Dong's explanation, Ye Xun was also taken aback, he never expected that there was such a big fish hidden by his side.
It's just that he had to fight against the Jurchen army the next day, so Ye Xun temporarily let Sun Dong stay in the mansion.
Now that everything is taken care of, it's time to settle the matter.
When Xu Hongru persuaded him to pretend to be a god and Buddha before, Ye Xun was suspicious, but he didn't think about it deeply, now it seems that this guy is fake to help him, and he actually wants to preach here.
After a while, Ye Xun turned around and said to Sun Dong, who was still kneeling on the ground: "It's very good that you can get lost, if you are willing to help me, then I still want you to do something, don't worry, this time I won't let you bomb anyone, but let you go to Hetuala, you will be the leader of our army there, are you willing?" ”
Sun Dong actually has no way out, surrendered to Ye Xun, Xu Hongru will definitely not let him go, so hiding in Hetuara is not a good choice.
said without hesitation: "My subordinates are willing to die for my father-in-law"
"Huh! It's not that serious, you go down to rest first, and when I solve Xu Hongru, I'll send someone to send you away."
Sun Dong was worried about this matter, hearing Ye Xun say this, he happily agreed, and then bowed and left, and when he walked to the door of the study, he turned around and said: "Xu Shang, his martial arts are also very high, father-in-law be careful"
Ye Xun nodded, he was still a master, so it would be even more interesting
There are classes on Mondays and Tuesdays, and only three shifts a day, please understand, thank you!
