Volume 11 Chapter 38 The Lord of Zhongxing is in all directions
The Battle of Chahar Grassland can be said to be the fiercest battle since Zhu Cijiong's rebirth, the Ming army and the Qing army both invested more than 300,000 troops, and both sides were equipped with the most advanced muskets and artillery at that time, the battle can be described as extremely tragic.
The heaviest losses were the cavalry on the left flank, the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao suffered heavy losses again, with more than half of the casualties, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed alone, and the elite cavalry of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard led by Qin Gongming was not much better, and more than half of the casualties were also lost, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed.
The infantry in the middle and the cavalry on the right flank were not bad, except for the infantry who suffered more than 20,000 casualties in the artillery bombardment of the Qing army and the shooting in the back line, the cavalry on the right flank basically suffered no casualties, because the cavalry of the Mongolian army began to flee without much resistance at all.
In this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 50,000 casualties and more than 30,000 casualties, which can be said to be the heaviest casualty in all the major battles presided over by Zhu Cijiong.
As for the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition army, the Mongolian army is a little better, 100,000 cavalry is still early, it will collapse at the first touch, the casualties are not more than half, the Qing army is miserable, almost the whole army is annihilated, no less than 100,000 people died in battle, and the rest are almost all wounded, this time it really beat them miserably, you must know that in history, even in all the battles that captured the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, there were no casualties in total!
After the war, Zhu Cijiong did not immediately return to the court, because the battle between the Hailar grassland and the Horqin grassland was not over, he had to stay here and wait for news, as well as the prisoners of the Qing army, the prisoners of the Mongolian army, including all the tribes in the entire Chahar grassland, Zhu Cijiong simply took all the captives all the way to the Manchu Khan Court, ready to deal with the Manchu problem thoroughly.
The Khan court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in the middle of the Chahar grassland, where the water and grass were fertile, and Huang Taiji did not build a city, or even a palace, but only set up a large number of gorgeous tents, and the Jurchen tribes did not disperse after entering the Monan grassland, and they were probably gathered around the Khan court, so Zhu Cijiong almost did not make much effort to control all the Jurchen people.
If you want to never suffer from future troubles, it's very simple, no matter men, women, old and children, all click on it, anyway, there are only more than one million people in total, and in history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not do less than one thing to slaughter the city, they slaughtered more than one million civilians, and it seems that it is not an exaggeration to kill them all!
Of course, Zhu Cijiong is a civilized person, civilized people will not commit atrocities of massacring civilians, they will even raise the enemy well to create wealth, Zhu Cijiong also thinks so, but all this will have to wait until after meeting Huang Taiji.
Zhu Cijiong gave due respect to Huang Taiji, and did not tie his five flowers into the prisoner car, but just let Wang Zhengnan, who accompanied him, take turns to guard with a team of brocade guards, so Huang Taijiong's state at this time was not very bad, when Zhu Cijiong saw him in his imperial tent, he even greeted him gently: "His Royal Highness Emperor Ming, are you still used to living here?" “
After that, he didn't see anything at all, and sat down directly on the blanket on the left, so that Wang Zhengnan, who was escorting him, was not embarrassed.
Zhu Cijiong didn't have the habit of sitting cross-legged on the ground, at this moment he was leaning on the dragon chair and looking at Huang Taiji with a smile, he saw that Wang Zhengnan seemed to want to make a move, so he hurriedly waved his hand and asked Wang Zhengnan to go out and wait.
Wang Zhengnan didn't say anything, just glanced at Cao Huachun beside Zhu Cijiong, and bowed to retire.
Seeing that Zhu Cijiong was so bold, Huang Taiji couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Your Royal Highness Emperor Ming, aren't you afraid that I will hurt people?" “
Zhu Cijiong said with a smile: "I have also practiced, in terms of heads-up, you may not be able to win me!" “
Cao Huachun beside him heard this, and couldn't help but have black lines on his face, although he can overturn a skill like Huang Taiji with a sword, but he doesn't know the emperor's three-legged cat's kung fu, it may be no problem to overturn a few strong men, but I'm afraid it's still far from being able to overturn this Huang Taiji!
Huang Taiji really didn't know that Zhu Cijiong had also practiced kung fu, and he couldn't help but praise when he heard the words: "His Royal Highness Emperor Ming is really young and promising, he knows everything about martial arts, admires and admires." “
Zhu Cijiong still smiled and said: "It's over, it's over, are you still used to the past two days?" “
When Huang Taiji heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Thank you His Royal Highness Emperor Ming for his preferential treatment, I am doing well." “
Zhu Cijiong asked with a smile: "Do you have any other requirements?" “
Huang Taiji thought for a while and said expectantly: "I want to see my wife and children, I don't know if it's okay?" “
Zhu Cijiong nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I will arrange for them to come to see you later." “
When Huang Taiji heard this, he stood up directly and arched his hand: "Then thank Your Royal Highness Emperor Ming." “
With that, I turned around and left!
Seeing this, Cao Huachun was dumbfounded, and when Huang Taiji walked out of the imperial tent, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for talking too much, don't you want to ask him?" That's it! “
Zhu Cijiong nodded lightly and said: "I mainly want to see if he is convinced, but now it seems that he is convinced." “
Cao Huachun couldn't help but be curious and continued to ask, "Then what does the emperor plan to do with him?" “
Zhu Cijiong said mysteriously: "There is no need to deal with it, he knows how to do it himself." “
After meeting Huang Taiji, Zhu Cijiong began to promulgate the punishment of the Jurchen tribes and the Mongolian tribes, which was very simple, that is, let the Mongolian tribes and the Jurchen tribes in the Chahar steppe each select 200,000 laborers to mine every year!
Of course, in order to prevent them from resentment, Zhu Cijiong did not do too much, he also announced that as long as these people dig well, Daming will give them food and clothing and other living materials every month, enough for them to support their families.
At the same time that Zhu Cijiong disposed of the Chahar grassland, the battles of the Horqin grassland and the Hailar grassland ended one after another, and Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng captured the Mongolian army of the two grasslands without any suspense, so that the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty was finally completely pacified.
With the telegraph network, the news of the great victory of the grassland soon spread back to the capital, the first to receive the news was naturally the Ming Cabinet Prime Minister Regent Zhu Youzhen and the Cabinet First Auxiliary Rite Department Shangshu Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youzhen saw the telegram and couldn't help dancing happily, laughing and said: "Jiannu has finally been cleaned up, and the Mongol tribes of Southern Mo have also been cleaned up, and the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful since then, and the emperor is really the master of Zhongxing of my Ming Dynasty!" “
Xu Guangqi on the side couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, this lord of Zhongxing is not called casually, this is comparable to the title of the founding emperor, but the emperor deserves it now!
In the past, the news of the great victory of the imperial court was generally reported to various places in the form of a newspaper, but now with the "Beijing News", there is naturally no need to publish any newspaper, just when Wu Meicun, the political envoy, was preparing a special issue of the great victory of the grassland, a Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites personally sent a newsletter, Wu Meicun opened it and saw that it was written by Xu Guangqi, the first assistant of the current cabinet, and the title was "The Lord of Zhongxing"!
The article details the achievements of Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Dynasty since he ascended the throne, two expeditions to Liaodong, personally went to Korea, recovered the east, subdued the east, pacified the northwest, plus this expedition to the north, the Ming Dynasty has since been leveled in the four seas, as well as the rectification of the rule of officials, the development of the economy, the development of new equipment, the expansion of the army, the formation of the navy, etc., such great achievements, enough to be comparable to any lord of Zhongxing in history!
Wu Meicun, the first assistant of the cabinet, naturally did not dare not send it, and besides, he also thought that the current emperor was a well-deserved master of Zhongxing, so he simply named the special issue of the "Beijing News" grassland victory directly as "The Lord of Zhongxing", and used all the space to praise the emperor's great achievements!
Zhu Cijiong didn't know at this time that he had been crowned with the title of the Lord of Zhongxing, and he was dealing with the affairs of the Horqin Grassland and Hailar Grassland in the imperial tent, when suddenly, there was a voice from the eunuch outside: "Jinyi Wei Zhenfu envoy Wang Zhengnan asks to see." “
Wang Zhengnan generally doesn't come to him if he doesn't have important things, he hurriedly put down the brush in his hand and said loudly: "Xuan." “
Soon, Wang Zhengnan walked in in a hurry, knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty, Huang Taiji hanged himself!" “
Counting his acquaintance, Zhu Cijiong was about to sigh, but the voice of a long-lost system beauty suddenly sounded in his mind......
What good things will be rewarded by the system this time? At the end of this volume, please see the breakdown of the next volume.
