Chapter 140: Good News Comes [Ask for Collection]
The battle of Linru Town ended not very quickly. It can be regarded as starting at the same time in the morning, and at noon, the Chen family army was already chasing the north. Compared with the battle between the two sides, it seems that it takes longer and more time for Chen Jiajun to pursue and capture the prisoners.
Chen Ming was waiting outside Linru Town, and from time to time he could see beaming soldiers escorting groups of Qing soldiers or Qing officers wearing military uniforms to return triumphantly. It's a pity that the three big heads of the Shaanxi Green Battalion all ran away, Admiral Wang Tenglong, and the two deputy generals Xue Zong and Deleng, all slipped away early, and it was impossible to win this battle.
Chen Kaishan had already led the cavalry battalion to the north in a straight line, and Chen Ming felt that no matter how many prisoners of war the troops could capture this time, the role of the cavalry battalion was undoubted. Many of the captured Qing soldiers must have surrendered because of the cavalry battalion. In addition to assisting the troops to capture prisoners of war as much as possible, Chen Kaishan's task was to lead the cavalry battalion up and down to run around Luoyang City.
With this great victory, Chen Ming decided to advance the front from Linru Town to the north to Pengpo Town in Henan Province, the Shaanxi army was so defeated, the threat to the north no longer existed, Chen Ming will allocate a part of the manpower to fill Yang Ping, Feng Shaohua's department, expand the independent brigade into an independent battalion, continue to be assigned to Chen Jianbai's men to listen to the tune, Chen Jianbai entered Linru Town, unified responsible for the northward defense. There is no need to put another battalion head guard in Ruzhou City, it can be handed over to the logistics troops, and the Gao Jinghui battalion that was originally stationed here will be transferred to Nanyang.
"Governor, after this battle, the good news spreads, and the morale of our army in all aspects will inevitably be renewed. The four provinces of the Qing court converged and suppressed, which seemed to be like a thunderbolt, but in fact it was nothing more than that. ”
Liu Wu stood beside Chen Ming with a smile, said good things to compliment Chen Ming, and slapped it down, which immediately made Chen Ming laugh. Because this kid's sycophants are very level, as soon as the news of this battle spreads, the pressure on the hearts of the Chen family's troops will be greatly reduced. Shaanxi Green Battalion, the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, oh, good guys, it turns out that the so-called elite soldiers of the imperial court are this virtue? In just half an hour, 8,000 soldiers and horses rushed to the wolves, and they couldn't form an army? Can such soldiers still put pressure on the various departments of the Chen family's army? The so-called four provinces will become a joke in the eyes of many Chen Jiajun soldiers.
Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua were also by Chen Ming's side, the two looked at Chen Ming's face with a smile that was even more vigorous, and couldn't help but glance at each other, this Liu Wu is no wonder that he has no credit, but the young master of the Chen family is from a personal follower, and he can be ranked as the captain of the pro-soldiers, and his status is not lower than that of the battalion officer in the army, at least the level of people's sycophants is much higher than his own.
Listen to how people shoot this sycophant? Think about how you just shot it?
What is the governor of the Central Plains, the Chen family army is invincible, the Qing soldiers are like mustard, how can they compare with this surnamed Liu?
Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua's hearts that were originally excited because the team's specifications were upgraded to the head of the camp were all down-to-earth.
In the evening, the pursuing units returned one after another, and Chen Kaishan also sent back Kuaima to report that his troops had occupied Pengpo Town. Tomorrow morning, you can show off your might and Luoyang City.
At this time, the fast horse that reported to Lushan should have just passed Ruzhou City. Although the war has just ended, Chen Ming has already used carrier pigeons to report the good news to Lushan, at this time the pigeon can almost fly, but it is also very necessary and necessary to report the victory along the way. This can make the Chen family's military rule, which is shaken by the heart, become stable, and those squires who are in turmoil in their hearts can be honest.
According to Chen Ming's instructions, the fast horses that reported the victory passed through the villages and towns along the way, not to mention the county seat, and all of them shouted: "Great victory, great victory on the northern front, the whole army of the green battalion in Shaanxi was killed, and the governor of the capital raised troops in Luoyang......"
"Great victory, great victory, the Qing Shaanxi Governor fled on horseback, and the Qing soldiers from the northern front were killed......"
"Great victory, great victory, the northern line of Shaanxi soldiers and local chickens and dogs, the governor of the capital has entered Luoyang ......"
Be sure to let all the people who pass by them hear the news. If it weren't for the conditions, Chen Ming really wanted to inform the local governments again, and when the Lubujie report was announced, he would immediately set off firecrackers and make the atmosphere as happy as possible. Regardless of whether the sound of firecrackers was spontaneously followed by the people, it was all Chen Jiajun's bureaucrats.
It's just that this condition really doesn't allow it. The pigeon is not a radio, it is very restrictive, and now it can only be seen by the 'understanding' of the local officials of the Chen Jiajun.
The former Lushan County Ya, now the General's Mansion.
It's so late, Chen Hui is still convening the seven dukes, nine dukes, Chen Cong, Chen Quan, Gao Pengqi and other key elements of the general's mansion to discuss the meeting, yesterday Chen Ming released the carrier pigeon, if not in addition, this time he will lead the army to fight against the main force of the Qing army on the northern front against Linru Town, and now the news has not yet come, Chen Hui is very uncomfortable, very anxious. He convened a group of backbone elements of the General's Mansion for a one-day meeting, and at the beginning, he made some preparations for the victory or defeat of Chen Minghui, and in the afternoon, it was almost time to wait.
In fact, these Chen Jiajun backbone figures who stayed in Lushan are all worried and unreliable today. For these natives, the name of the Ganshan Green Camp still has a certain deterrent effect. Moreover, the men and horses mentioned by Wang Tenglong are all green battalion soldiers, and the artillery may be a little inferior to the previous Fode army, but the combat effectiveness is definitely far greater than the 13,000 or 4,000 people put together by the Yu soldiers, the Hubei soldiers and the local militia groups.
Chen Hui frowned deeply, pacing back and forth in the hall, very scared in his heart, Linru Town, what happened? Will there be news of a big defeat? When will Chen Ming's message be delivered?
In his heart, all kinds of thoughts came flooding back, and he was uneasy.
And beside him, the Seventh Duke, the Ninth Duke and the others also sat like a wooden fetal sculpture, none of them dared to speak lightly, and the worries in their hearts were not inferior to Chen Hui. The Chen family, the head of the family, of course, has absolutely great right to speak, but as a very traditional family, the Chen family has never been the Chen family of Chen Hui and Chen Ming's father and son. This is a joint-stock company, and Chen Hui and Chen Ming's father and son hold most of the company's shares, control the company's day-to-day operations, and also enjoy most of the company's interests. These small shareholders can't screw Chen Hui and Chen Ming, who hold most of the shares, on many issues, but this does not mean that they don't want to watch the Chen family get better and don't care about the future of the Chen family.
Everyone here, including Gao Pengqi, who has recently become a shareholder, all hope that the Chen family will get better and stronger day by day.
Suddenly, they heard the commotion outside the political affairs hall, and soon, the entire general's mansion seemed to be boiling, and only one voice faintly echoed in their ears: "...... Great victory...... Great victory on the northern route......"
"The Metropolitan Governor has annihilated all the soldiers who have invaded Shaanxi...... Killed and captured 10,000 Qing soldiers...... Wang Tenglong fled ......"
“…… The capital overseers have entered Luoyang City......"
