After the end of the Jinzhou War, Nanguo Gong and his brothers in the imperial court settled the accounts, and the expenses listed were well-founded, and the amount was quite amazing, spending a total of more than 3.7 million taels of silver.

Huang Sheng really spent so much silver taels in this battle, far higher than the standard of the Ming Dynasty, and no one bleached a tael of silver, and it was actually distributed to the soldiers.

All the soldiers who participated in the battle rejoiced, and the generosity of Nan Guogong made too many grassroots officers and soldiers come to heart.

In the bill, there were nearly 1 million taels of silver for beheading, because the army of the Southern Kingdom Duke planned to kill more than 23,000 Tartars, and the court customary for the northern captives to reward them with 20 taels of silver of the first class.

In the battle to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, a total of 3,700 Jiannu soldiers and Yu Ding were killed, and more than 7,000 slave soldiers were killed.

The Ming army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the pension silver for the fallen soldiers and the resettlement of the disabled soldiers were more than 1 million taels of silver.

The medical expenses and medical expenses of the wounded soldiers are not old and young, and the hiring of the North Korean Shinhaejun "Huaxia Navy" to transport supplies and transport the wounded cannot make the family busy in vain, and it is always necessary to pay for the work of the family!

The Duke of Nanguo gave all the soldiers who participated in the war in Liaodong a double salary for seven months, and a total of more than 70,000 soldiers was four or five hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver.

The cost of horses, armor, equipment, gunpowder, the daily food of men and horses, etc., each expenditure has a detailed account, and there is a signature or red handprint of the recipient.

Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, was unable to repay such a huge debt, nor could he admit that the Nanguo Gong issued such a high amount of various expenses, so he could only submit this bill to the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Chongzhen took a closer look at this bill, and asked the celebrant and a few eunuchs to calculate it, and it was actually exactly the same, except for the Liao salary that the imperial court had paid, there were really so many expenses in this battle, and the emperor was a little dizzy.

The Forbidden City platform continued to deliberate, and the senior members of the DPRK and the cabinet elders were there.

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were a little dark after counting the midnight accounts, and it was obvious that he was in a poor mental state.

He asked: "Xiong Aiqing, has the Nanguo Gong's food and salary been verified?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has already verified that every expenditure is well-founded, but Meng Lang, the Duke of Nanguo, rewarded the soldiers who won the beheading merit, without the approval and approval of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, and directly issued in advance did not comply with the procedures, and the pension and resettlement silver given was too high, and it was not in accordance with the rules."

The upright cabinet elder Wang's minister went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, what the lord of this soldier said is otherwise, the reason why everyone in the southern public army dares to fight must be because he is willing to give the soldiers a generous reward, and it is beyond reproach to directly issue a head reward to boost morale. ”

The old god Gao Di was saying: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the first will be sent later, anyway, the court will send it, of course, the Nanguo Gong Cheng is not informal, as long as he does not take the risk to receive the reward, it is very good!" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he doesn't look at the process but only the result, and the Duke of Nanguo forced the Jiannu to work hard with the least loss, and although the cost of silver is higher, there is evidence, and the court should spend it." ”

Huang Sheng made great achievements, and the officials of the imperial court were not convenient to impeach him at this time.

But after all, the people defeated Jiannu and forced back the Jin army of more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians, and the imperial court should recognize all the expenses of the Duke of Nanguo, otherwise who will be willing to stand up and share the worries of the imperial court in the future?

The platform played to no avail, but Xiong Mingyu urged the emperor to reply twice and three times, there is no way to always be chased by others to ask for debts, and no one will be comfortable.

Chongzhen's head was too big, and he no longer had the heart to summon the Duke of Nanguo to come to Beijing, but was thinking about how to deal with such a famine pulled down. Nanguo Gong has opened a list to collect debts, how will the court face it?

Emperor Chongzhen was so poor that he couldn't reply to Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, for a short time, so he chose to stay in the middle of the bill, and also adopted the trick of procrastination, preparing to exchange time for space.

The emperor gave the Duke of Nanguo a message that he did not recognize, did not deny, did not support, did not oppose, and asked for no silver. Annoying? No one dared to take his life!

Jiannu retreated for seven days, and the head of the family also left for six days, before Huang Mingli returned to Ningyuan with the army.

In terms of capture, on the contrary, his team gained a huge amount, and the capture was not less than that under the city of Jinzhou, because the cavalry who went north obtained more than 40,000 horses alone, and tens of thousands of horses and bullocks, and the large livestock of Zhongming Fort immediately became rich.

The generals of the Huang family, who had returned from the victory on the prairie, rushed to Huangjiawan Island to visit the head of the family on the same day, and even Qinggeltai did not worry about following him.

They heard the Ming army talking a lot, and they all said that the Nanguo Gong was sick from hard work, although some did not believe it, they were still anxious to see it was believing.

Seeing the head of the family, the black tiger looked left and right, and said, "Don't always pretend to be sick, my lord!" Every time it scares everyone half to death! ”

Huang Mingli said: "Just your black tiger is stupid, we all know that it is false for adults to be sick, and it is true to stay away from the court." It's just that you're going to be skeptical, and now you understand? ”

The black tiger glared at the small eyes and said: "Our Huang family's strength is like this, we can't pretend to be sick, and if we don't want to go to Jingshi, who else dares to come and get people?" ”

Huang Sheng knocked on the head of the black tiger and said: "Nonsense, this official is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can he resist the decree and disrespect, this is just to avoid trouble, where are you preparing to turn against the court." ”

Qinggeltai, who was already in his early thirties, was much calmer, and he was extremely happy to see that Nanguo Gong did not hide himself, and Shi Li said: "Nanguo Gong, no matter what the court treats you in the future, Nekhalkha will always be your most loyal subordinate." ”

Huang Sheng looked at this Tai Ji who he had single-handedly supported, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Tai Ji rest assured, this lord is a Ming courtier, and he will definitely not do anything, at most he will protect himself, and he will not embarrass everyone." ”

When the confidant generals saw that the head of the family had this attitude, they no longer talked about the matter, and these arrogant generals actually didn't think about it at all if they turned their faces with the court.

The next day, Huang Sheng convened a meeting of officers at or above the rank of 100 generals in Liaodong, at which the development goals for the next few years were clearly defined and a series of personnel adjustments were made.

Due to the complete victory of the Ming army and the Houjin army under the city of Jinzhou, Jiannu certainly did not dare to choose to fight a war of attrition in a short time, and after learning from the pain, he would definitely avoid positional warfare and city offensive and defensive battles as much as possible, so a large area of fertile land in the western Liaoning corridor centered on Zhongming Fort must be in the bag.

Deploy here, so that this vast area becomes the territory of the Huang family is imperative, not only in Zhongming Fort to leave two thousand generals, but also to focus on training a cavalry.

This cavalry will not be transferred around, the base camp is Zhongming Fort, and it will be the main assault force to annihilate Jiannu in the future, and it will also be the iron cavalry of the Huang family that will sweep the prairie in the future.

Without a huge cavalry, it is easy to defeat Jiannu, and it is impossible to completely encircle, pursue, intercept and destroy them.
