After dividing up the spoils, the matter of cleaning up the battlefield was the responsibility of the Xishan Army. Tang Tong and Bai Guangen led their troops to continue westward, firstly to see if all the Manchu Tartars had withdrawn from the border wall, and secondly, to appease the people who had fled back. The result of this victory was that the Manchu cavalry retreated in a hurry, leaving more than 10,000 people who had never been out of the customs, these people thought that they had left their homeland but were slaves to the barbarians, who knew that they were saved by the Ming army at the last moment, and they were grateful one by one, and they were grateful to the army of the imperial court.

The officers and soldiers of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, who had made great contributions, enjoyed the rare support of the people, and they were immediately no longer embarrassed to rob the people of the little food and material left, but kindly helped the people to settle down temporarily, and the order of the imperial court, if nothing else, these people would be repatriated to their hometowns.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the Xishan Army also advanced westward and returned to the division with two divisions, and set up camp at the entrance of the mountain road leading from Panshan to Saiwai. After the military and civilians are settled, the next first thing is to repay the merits, and after making such a great contribution, they must inform the imperial court of the results of the battle, and ask for merit for themselves by the way.

Written by He Lu, a Chinese official of Chen Yuejun, the three of them jointly wrote a document to report victory, adhering to He Lu's usual exaggerated style, exaggerating the battle situation tenfold. In the battle report, the three coalition forces caught up with the retreating Mantar under the command of Chen Yue, and the 30,000 iron cavalry behind the Mantar palace fought a big battle, the Ming soldiers fought hard and moved forward bravely, and finally the Mantar beat the embarrassment and fled all over the field, killing more than 5,000 Manchu Tartars, and the captured heads were 423, rescuing more than 10,000 people of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, such a big victory can be achieved thanks to the long live Longfu of our emperor, the wise command of the two general soldiers of Chen Yue and Tang Bai, and the bloody battle of 20,000 soldiers.

Looking at the warning document written by He Lu, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but Tang Tong and Bai Guangen read it with relish, and kept shaking their heads. It is the consistent practice of the Ming army to exaggerate the achievements of the war, and there are often such battle reports that kill tens of thousands of enemies in a big battle and capture several first-class ones, compared with this, this battle report is much more real. After all, not to mention anything else, the more than 400 heads are really there.

Whether it is Chen Yue, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, they all unconsciously left the supervisor Zhou Yanru behind, it is said that the battle report should be reported to the supervisor Zhou Yanru first, and then Zhou Yanru should report to the imperial court, this is the normal process. But the three of them all tacitly forgot about this.

In Chen Yue's view, Zhou Yanru was against himself everywhere, and he had long been his opponent, but this time he did not listen to orders, and did not attack the Mantars who crossed the river by the Lugou River, but chose the battlefield of Panshan, and now Zhou Yanru doesn't know what is bad to rectify himself, maybe the impeachment of himself has been sent to the imperial court. In that case, why give him military merit again!

In the eyes of Bai Guangen and Tang Tong, if the battle report is reported to Zhou Yanru, there will definitely be many more people who will divide their war exploits, although more than 400 heads have been captured, but this is obtained by fighting with their own lives, why should they be cheap Tongzhou which guys are full of brains!

As a result, the three of them tacitly chose to forget their boss Zhou Yanru, and instead sent the report documents directly to Beijing. However, what they didn't expect was that Zhou Yanru's report had already been delivered to the imperial court.

......

Since November last year, the gates of Beijing have been closed for nearly half a year, and for half a year, materials from the outside have not been able to be brought in, and what has been inside has not been able to be transported out. The vast city of Beijing has become almost a world of isolation, and communication with the outside world is carried out by hanging from the city walls in hanging baskets. Not to mention anything else, there are more than 200 local officials selected by the Ministry of Officials, but because of the closed city gates, they have remained in the city and cannot go to their posts!

And today, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the Tongzhou Governor, once again came the good news, under his wise command, under the bloody battle of 200,000 Ming soldiers, the hateful Manchu Tartars were finally driven out of the border wall and retreated to the grassland, and there was no Manchu Tartar cavalry near Gyeonggi! This also means that Jingshi is really safe, so Emperor Chongzhen ordered the city gate to be opened after rewarding Zhou Yanru!

The city gates were closed for several months, and there were too many materials in the city to replenish, such as grain, vegetables, meat, and even coal for burning the fire, and many people had split their own doors for cooking.......

The gates were closed for months, and there was so much to take out of the city that the daily excrement of excrement was piled up in the huts, piled up on the streets, and the whole city was stinking. Although there was no battle in the siege of the city without a full Tartar siege, there were seven or eight hundred thousand people in the city, and there were dead people every day, and then as the weather warmed up, the dirty environment made the epidemic appear, the inner city and the imperial city were better, and the outer city had already died of many people, and if this continued, there might be a plague in the entire city. Now that the gates are open, the bodies can finally be transported out of the city for burial.

The city gate was closed for several months, the price of goods soared, the rice rose to eight taels of silver, and the honeycomb coal also needed five cents a piece, and the ordinary people could not hold it for a long time, and the phenomenon of starving to death occurred from time to time, if the city gate was closed for another two months, I am afraid that the entire city would collapse!

Fortunately, the city gate was finally opened, and the grain materials from the Tongzhou granary were continuously transported into the city, and the people outside the city also pulled the vegetables planted into the city. Outside the Xibian Gate, hundreds of coal trucks lined up to transport coal from Xishan into the city.

The price of grain fell, rice fell to three taels of silver and one stone, and honeycomb briquettes returned to the previous price of two pennies a piece, and the people breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were all grateful to the heroes who drove the Tartars out of the border wall.

And Zhou Yanru, as the governor of all the armies, is naturally the biggest hero. In the past month, Zhou Yanru's documents have filled Emperor Chongzhen's table, and every time he has won the battle and recovered the lost territory, Chongzhen is overjoyed.

The young master, the prince and the prince, and the son of Yin are the thousands of households in Jinyi, this is Chongzhen's intention to reward Zhou Yanru with the honorary title, just waiting for Zhou Yanru's class to return to the dynasty.

However, what made Chongzhen embarrassed and puzzled was that Chen Yue, the Xishan soldier he gave great hope, did not make achievements in this battle, not to mention not winning the battle, but caused a lot of trouble. Arrogant and domineering, with no colleagues and no superiors, Zhou Yanru has impeached Chen Yue several times. And this time the tone of the impeachment was particularly intense, and Chen Yue was impeached for not listening to orders and fleeing from the battle! And Li Guofu, the eunuch of the supervising army, and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu sent to the army also confirmed Zhou Yanru's impeachment, and there were joint signatures of several general generals in the army on the chapter, which seemed to confirm the fact that Chen Yue escaped from the battle.

However, will that young man really run away without a fight, at this moment, Chongzhen couldn't help but recall the situation when he met Chen Yue a few months ago.
