Chapter 299: Battle Damage

"Thank you for the great Khan's grace not to kill! Lord Shabel's grace not to kill! The steward Wang, who had been left behind, kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice, expressing his gratitude with a thousand thanks, but Huang Taiji and Dolgon did not continue to deal with him, after all, they still had many things to worry about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Soon Steward Wang was taken away by a Houjin soldier who looked fierce and vicious, and at this time, Steward Wang had no other way, it was already very good to be able to save his life, of course he had no choice to accept or refuse the arrangement that Huang Taiji gave him, even if Huang Taiji arranged a job for him to brush the toilet, he had to smile next.

But fortunately, the final result was much better than Steward Wang expected, and he was arranged to work with Mr. Fan, and this Mr. Fan Steward Wang still knew, because Mr. Fan came to Guannei before and discussed business matters with Wang Dengku, and Steward Wang had the opportunity to look at it from afar, all in all, how can this Mr. Fan's words and deeds be classified into a more "normal" category of people - after all, they are also Han Chinese, and it is much better to do things under Mr. Fan than to be a slave to those fierce Jurchen masters.

And listening to this posture just now, the imperial court must have known about Wang Dengku's business in Zhangjiakou, since the Ming army even dared to rob Huang Taiji's camp, it would be even easier to deal with Wang Dengku's businessmen, if Wang Dengku's boss was dealt with, Wang Steward was also facing this unemployment, in this case, it would be better to do things under Mr. Fan, after all, Wang Steward has no family in the Guannei, and belongs to the typical "one person eats the whole family is not hungry" kind of people, since there is no worries, When he returned to Guannai, he might be arrested by the government as Wang Dengku's subordinates, so it was better to stay here and follow Mr. Fan to do things well, Wang felt that with his own talents, how could he mix a bowl of rice under Mr. Fan's men.

Sent away the kowtow worm of Steward Wang, Huang Taiji no longer cared about this Han man, in fact, his arrangement of Steward Wang was just a matter of doing whatever he wanted, and if he wanted to come for two days, even he would forget that there was such a thing. Especially now that the Ming army has just come to rob the camp, the fire in the camp has just been extinguished, and there has been a serious loss of troops and materials, Huang Taiji is too late to deal with business, so naturally he will not care about such a small person as Wang Guan.

Soon, the thing that Huang Taiji didn't want to hear, but was also the most concerned about, was reported, that is, the losses in this battle had been counted, and a pro-soldier commander entered the big tent and reported to Huang Taiji, "Great Khan, our army killed 2,300 people and seriously wounded 400 people in this battle. Previously, the grain transported by the merchants of the Ming Kingdom was lost, and most of the iron tools were melted and deformed and could not be used, and they needed to be rebuilt, and most of the other forage, tents and other materials were also lost, and the minions were stepping up statistics. ”

Although he had already known it in his heart and was fully prepared in his heart, he still felt a little difficult to accept when he heard such a serious loss, after all, Dajin's warriors were not easy to come by, and the entire Dajin had a total of more than 100,000 young and strong soldiers, and it was very distressing to lose any of them, not to mention that more than 2,000 warriors were lost at once this time, so you can imagine what a big loss this is. And this is not only a matter of losing troops, but also the loss of all kinds of grain and grass materials in the battalion this time, when Dajin, which is already very scarce in resources, is even more stretched, this year will definitely be difficult.

If this kind of battle happens a few more times, not only will the position of Huang Taiji and his Great Khan not be guaranteed, but the future of the entire Dajin will be bleak, and it will be a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty surrenders.

So after hearing the detailed loss at this time, Huang Taiji had some qi and blood surging, coughed violently, and his originally fat body also shook violently, looking very painful.

Dolgon hurriedly stepped forward and patted Huang Taiji on the back, handed over a handkerchief and comforted him, "The Great Khan doesn't have to be too sad, those Dajin warriors died on the battlefield and they deserved to die, the Great Khan must take care of his health, and in the future, the Great Khan will take us to the Ming Kingdom to avenge these warriors who died in battle." ”

Huang Taiji finally stopped coughing, but on the handkerchief he used, several obvious blood streaks could be clearly seen, Huang Taiji quickly put away the handkerchief, and after confirming that Dolgon, who had just gone to serve him tea and rinsing his mouth, did not see it, his heart was slightly relieved.

……

As for Zhangjiakou City at this time, the four gates have long been closed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, and anyone with a discerning eye can probably guess that many merchants in the city are going to be finished this time, and this is indeed the case.

Hou Shilu had already pursued the customs according to the emperor's order, and recaptured the grain and materials that the merchants planned to transport to Jiannu, which showed that the emperor could not tolerate the behavior of the Zhangjiakou merchants as a "capital enemy", even if it was a big crime to transport a grain of grain to Jiannu, so he even did not hesitate to send heavy troops to the very dangerous grassland.

Since the emperor has such a determination, of course Luo Yangxing and the others already know what to do, that is, to immediately arrest Wang Dengku, a businessman, which is also the emperor's will brought to him by Yang Tao. In fact, even if there is no emperor's will, Luo Yangxing must do this, after all, the sound of such a large-scale transfer of troops and horses must not be small, and Wang Dengku has already fed the officials at all levels of the Xuanfu for so many years, if Luo Yangxing's action is a little slow, Wang Dengku They will definitely get the news, and then pack up and prepare to escape, even if they don't escape, they will try their best to destroy the evidence of all these years of transactions.

Fortunately, when Hou Shilu led the troops here, he left five hundred personal soldiers for Luo Yangxing, with these five hundred personal soldiers, it was much easier for Luo Yangxing to control the entire city, and it was completely possible for these five hundred personal soldiers to supervise the soldiers who originally defended the city in Zhangjiakou, so that even if the original soldiers of Zhangjiakou wanted to report to Wang Dengku, it was not so simple. In particular, the city gates are absolutely reliable by Luo Yangxing, and it is necessary to ensure that no one can leave the city of Zhangjiakou.

As for the question of whether Hou Shilu himself has accepted bribes from Zhangjiakou businessmen, Luo Yangxing is not very worried, because the current situation is very clear, even a fool can see the emperor's attitude towards this matter, Hou Shilu, as a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Xuanfu army, must be very clear in his heart about how to act.
