Chapter 311: Leisure After the War
The total number of people in the great battle of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Wei and the Qing Dynasty exceeded 500,000, and Li Jing personally led 100,000 troops from the North Road, which brought together the main forces of the Qing Dynasty all the way, and the ten large battalions were all Nurhachi's sons and nephews, and the vanguard troops were led by Duoduo, the first fierce general of the Qing Dynasty.
This Duoduo himself has also reached the realm of Gangqi in force, but it is a little worse against Li Jing, a big battle between the two sides, Duoduo and Li Jing were seriously injured in more than a dozen rounds of battle, and fled in the wilderness, the Tang army took advantage of the victory to pursue, broke into five large camps in a row, and killed 40,000 enemies, although he also lost 20,000, but the morale has risen, and it is unstoppable.
The Qing Dynasty once again mobilized 70,000 main forces to fight a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty three hundred miles outside Liaoxi County, after a battle, the Qing Dynasty lost 12 generals, 50,000 troops were wiped out, and the Tang Dynasty lost 30,000 troops, at this time the Qing Dynasty has nearly 100,000 troops were wiped out, the northern front was completely lost, and the remaining 30,000 troops could only retreat to the acropolis of Liaoxi County Chaoyang Pass to hold on, once Chaoyang Pass was captured by the enemy, Liaoxi County was completely exposed to the enemy's blow.
On the southern front, LΓΌ Bu was captured by Dolgon, and was beheaded in front of the two armies, the morale of the Qing army was high, and Dolgon was indeed a fierce general, leading 70,000 troops against the 150,000 troops of the Great Wei, although the Great Wei army had obvious advantages, but there was no fierce general like Li Jing, and the results were obviously worse than the northern line, the two sides fought seven battles in 20 days, Dolgon retreated while fighting, and finally only 20,000 soldiers remained, and the Great Wei also lost 60,000, if the number of casualties, Dolgon was slightly better, but unfortunately the enemy was outnumbered, In the end, he could only retreat to the defense of Liaoxi County.
As the capital of the Qing Dynasty, Liaoxi County, the defense is naturally strong, at this time it has come to the time of life and death of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi once again requisitioned 150,000 troops from several major tribes in the north, and the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei also increased their troops by 100,000 each.
Until now, the Great Wei and the Tang Dynasty have requisitioned a total of 500,000 troops, the Qing Dynasty has also dispatched more than 300,000 troops, and the three princes have a total of 800,000 troops.
Even though the Qing soldiers fought hard one by one, but the numerical disadvantage was still unable to make up, after holding out for ten days, Liaoxi County was finally broken by the Tang and Wei coalition forces, in fact, the Qing side did not defend to the death, Nurhachi also knew, it was better to retreat into the dense forest in order to make a comeback.
In this way, eleven years after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the capital of the country fell, and more than 100,000 Qing soldiers retreated to the primeval jungle in the north, and returned to the place where they made their fortune after traveling thousands of miles.
Along the way, the already frail and sickly Qing King Nurha was angry and angry, and Huang Taiji received an edict to become the king of Qing, but Dolgon opposed the other party's succession to the throne with the support of the blue, blue and white flags, although in the end, under the persuasion of many tribal elders, Dolgon did not really compete with his brother for the throne, but he also controlled the heavy army and was independent of Huang Taiji, and the two brothers had internal strife, unless one of them died.
After the Great Wei and the Tang Dynasty occupied Liaoxi County, they pursued five hundred miles westward, and hit the Longjiang River, at this time, most of the land of the Qing Dynasty had been occupied by two sides, and the area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was enough for the two of them.
According to the previous agreement between the two sides, the Great Wei occupies sixty percent of the land, and the Tang occupies forty percent of the land, and their territory will more than double overnight, more land means more food, more resources, and more people, which greatly increase their war potential, as long as they are given a year or two, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei can completely digest these resources and make themselves more powerful.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, Liu Yuetian is already eighteen years old, in this era, a man is sixteen years old for adulthood, and eighteen years old is for adulthood, according to tradition, at this time should marry a wife and have children.
Liu Yuetian's mother, Concubine Ming, lives in Hongnong County, and urges her son to take the marriage to heart every day, and talks to Liu Yuetian every day when she has nothing to do, so that he can marry Sun Shangxiang as soon as possible, and then give birth to a child within a year, so that he can repay his grandson.
Don't look at Sun Shangxiang, who usually looks like a man, but she is very "filial" to Concubine Ming, and every day when she has nothing to do, she runs to Concubine Ming's house to ask for warmth, showing the demeanor of a Mingli girl.
"Son, Shangxiang is now a big girl in her twenties, you are now an adult, hurry up and prepare for marriage, you will get married next year, and I will be able to report my mother to my grandson the year after tomorrow."
Concubine Ming "taught" in front of Liu Yuetian.
"Mother, don't worry, don't worry, I've been busy with business lately, let's talk about it after this paragraph!"
After all, Liu Yuetian is only eighteen years old, in his previous life, he was still in school and studying at this age, besides, if today's Shuihong and Nong have entered a period of large-scale development, according to Liu Yuetian's idea, the simplest industrial system should be established within four or five years, that is, the large-scale application of the steam engine, which cost him a lot of effort, where is there any leisure to consider marriage?
"Don't be in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, my mother is in her forties, you go and see those ordinary people, at this age, grandchildren are running all over the ground."
Concubine Ming said bitterly.
"Okay, okay......... Oh, and by the way, Mom, I have an important meeting to attend, and I'll come back and talk to you when I'm done! β
Liu Yuetian left in a perfunctory hurry.
As soon as Liu Yuetian left, Sun Shangxiang went into Concubine Ming's house.
"Shang Xiang is here, hurry, come and sit here!"
Seeing Sun Shangxiang, Concubine Ming was full of smiles.
Sun Shangxiang came to Concubine Ming and sat down.
"Auntie, what did His Highness say?"
Sun Quan is the nephew and grandson of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhou, according to his generation, so Sun Shangxiang also has to be called Aunt Ming, of course, she hopes to remove this aunt word immediately.
Liu Yuetian actually has feelings for Sun Shangxiang, but Liu Yuetian is really too busy now, so he doesn't think much about personal feelings, Sun Shangxiang, she also knows that Liu Yuetian is very busy, but she is a big girl after all, even if she has feminist thinking, but Liu Yuetian's charm is really endless, not to mention her ability, and she also advocates democracy, without any machismo, such a man is hard to find in the world, to be honest, even the arrogant Sun Shangxiang is a little unworthy of the other party's ideas, but she doesn't care about these, Anyway, it's already decided, so you have to get it.
"Alas, this little cub is very stubborn, always saying that he is not in a hurry or not, which makes me angry."
Concubine Ming said angrily.
