Since Mang Gurtai broke into the pass, Yuan Chonghuan led 10,000 soldiers out of Beijing, and before he reached the battlefield, news came back from the front line that Mang Gurtai was wiped out under the Shanhai Pass, and Baylor, who had a high status in the Houjin, was also reduced to a prisoner.

After Yuan Chonghuan got the battle report, he could only lead his soldiers to return the same way, and the team escorting Dai Shan also left from Shanhaiguan and went to Beijing.

Huang Taiji retreated gloomily, Dai Shan's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are unknown, Mang Gurtai became a prisoner, injured 60,000 soldiers, three Jurchens, 30,000 Mongols, and suffered great damage, this is the largest victory of the Ming army against the Houjin since the Later Jin rebellion, and this victory was not easy to come by, the Ming army suffered as many as 40,000 casualties, and 12 generals.

Less than a day after Mang Gurtai was overwhelmed by the Jingshi, the battle report of Liaodong spread to the Jingshi non-stop.

Liaodong heralds, holding flags, galloped in the middle of the Beijing division, shouting while running: "Eight hundred miles of urgency, Liaodong victory." ”

The people who heard it were a little disbelieving, didn't they say that those Jurchens were very powerful? Just when the people were puzzled, there were Jinyi guards passing by, and shouted while running: "Liaodong victory, Liaodong victory." At this time, the people only believed in their hearts that at the beginning of the Liaodong War, the imperial court sent the eunuch supervisor army and the Jinyi guard to supervise the army, because Sun Chengzong was deeply valued by the emperor, these supervisors were almost all going through a motion, and even Shanhaiguan did not come out, called the prison army, in fact, just to block the mouth of Youyou, but at this time the big victory, then this credit is to fight for a fight, so Jinyi Wei also sent people to report the victory, and the people of the inner prison also came to Beijing soon.

Ouchi of the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Youzhen urgently recruited cabinet auxiliary ministers Li Guopu, Yuan Chonghuan, Guo Yunhou, Zuo Governor Yushi Liu Quan, Jinyi Wei Commander Luo Yangxing, and Cao Wenzhao, the chief officer of the three major battalions who had just returned to Beijing, and Hong Chengchou, the commander of the three major battalions, and others to discuss with the Yangxin Palace.

After a few people arrived, Zhu Youzhen picked up the chapter and the book of success in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Presumably, all Aiqing knows about the victory in Liaodong? ”

Li Guopu took the lead in speaking out: "My Ming Wang's army, annihilating the enemy and outside the city of Jinzhou, forcing Huang Taiji to retreat, and relieving Ning Yuan's might, this is God bless the Ming Dynasty, the emperor." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, chuckled, and said: "The great victory in Liaodong, the whole army of the Daishan Department was wiped out, and the Houjin vitality was greatly injured, and I was thinking that this is really God's blessing, but I don't think it, on the contrary, I feel that this credit is not God, nor me, but the 180,000 soldiers in Liaodong, the 40,000 soldiers who died in battle, and the 12 generals who are shrouded in horse leather. ”

"Wechen is here."

"I allocated 500,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to compensate the families of the soldiers who died in the war, the standard of pension, depending on the person, the family has elderly parents, young children, ten taels of silver, five acres of land, no taxes for ten years, there are old people in the family, there are no young children, the government builds a place to support the elderly, support the elderly, and send them to the end, on the day of the old man's death, the local song and dance are forbidden, there is no old age, only the young son and the widow are left, the reward is ten taels of silver, five acres of land, no taxes are levied for ten years, and the twelve generals who took the lead and died in the war were all crowned General Huwei, the heir is given to the same Jinshi, according to these proposed regulations, I will hand over to you to handle this matter, Luo Yangxing, you will cooperate to handle it, build twelve support centers in Liaodong, and do it on the same day. ”

Luo Yangxing just hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt down, and said his order.

Zhu Youzhen's words made all the people's hearts hot, the emperor was really merciful, even if it was such a big victory, the first thing that came to mind was how the families of the soldiers who died in the war should live in the future, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the people who died in the war have pensions, but it has always been the Ministry of War to ask, sometimes, the lower class concealed the sky and the sea, and the silver of the pension did not reach the hands of the soldiers at all, it was originally able to gather the hearts of the army, but in the end it became a major factor affecting the disunity of the army. When he is also very relieved, and let Jinyiwei assist, it is also to increase supervision, of course, for Jinyiwei, after the fact, Zhu Youzhen will also knock Luo Yangxing, this supervision can not have any problems.

"Your Majesty, this battle is commanded by Zhao and the general army, how should it be rewarded." Li Guopu continued.

"I want to see Zhao Shujiao. Ask him, what makes him dare to take such risks? Zhu Youzhen said softly, in fact, when the battle report was placed in front of Zhu Youzhen's table, Zhu Youzhen couldn't believe it for a while, and his first thought was to lie about the military situation, but afterwards Sun Chengzong's excerpt also came to Zhu Youzhen's hands, and he believed that Sun Chengzong outlined the Battle of Jinzhou in detail in the chapter, and it was not surprising that Zhao Shujiao was praised in it.

"Then what should Liaodong do at this time?" Yuan Chonghuan opened his mouth and said, he was very afraid that Zhu Youzhen would open his mouth at this time, and ordered the Liaodong Army to pursue Huang Taiji and recapture Guangning and even Shenyang, so that a big victory might turn into a big defeat.

"Gathering the hearts of the army and relocating the people, as in the past, Sun Chengzong has the expediency to act." Zhu Youzhen said very steadily.

Yuan Chonghuan breathed a sigh of relief and saluted: "The emperor is shengming." ”

If it were another king, in the face of this great victory, he would definitely disturb his heart, and maybe he would order the whole line to attack, completely defeat Houjin, and recover Liaodong's absurd order, and Zhu Youzhen was not blinded by the victory, he knew it. Although Houjin is injured, but the foundation is still there, even if they win this war, they can't be proud, they are still strong, of course, Zhu Youzhen doesn't want the Liaodong Army to go through this big battle and derive the idea of underestimating the enemy, and he will also remind some in the holy decree with Sun Chengzong in the future.

Compared with the calm side of others, Cao Wenzhao's joy can't be hidden at all, just when Zhu Youzhen was speaking, this Cao Wenzhao thought about this big victory, and almost laughed out loud, if it wasn't for Hong Chengchou standing next to him stepped on Cao Wenzhao's foot, the scene just now would be very embarrassing, the emperor is remembering the soldiers who died in battle, and the important ministers of the court laughed loudly in front of the emperor, and the news will go out, this Cao Wenzhao will become a big laughing stock.

Cao Wenzhao was very concerned about the situation in Liaodong, when the Liaodong War broke out, he was ordered to go out of the city to reorganize the army, and he also asked for orders more than once, out of the customs, but were rejected by the Ministry of War, but today there was good news, how can this not make Cao Wenzhao happy, he has been in Liaodong for a long time, of course he knows how much this war means to the Liaodong Army, and he is also happy for his former comrades-in-arms, and even has a hint of ridicule of the Later Jin Emperor Taiji.

When Zhu Youzhen was talking just now, he was also looking around at the ministers, of course, he saw Cao Wenzhao's embarrassment, and at this time, he wanted to ask why this guy was so happy just now.
