In the battle of Fangshan, the Jiangning battalion lost less than 500 soldiers, and completely annihilated the 5,000 Tartars left in Fangshan County, which was an incredible victory, although the Tartars were too arrogant, so that they dug their own graves, in addition, the Tartars left by Azig in Fangshan County mostly belonged to the infantry and logistics troops whose combat effectiveness was not very strong, but such a victory could not be ignored.

Even the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were shocked by this huge victory, they always felt that the Tartars were still very fierce and had good combat effectiveness, after this battle, their confidence was high, and the Tartars were nothing remarkable, compared with the Liukou, they couldn't grab anywhere.

Su Tiancheng's goal was achieved, however, he also summoned all the officers of the Jiangning battalion and warned everyone, don't get carried away, this time it is a sneak attack, and the next contest in Dafang Mountain is the real contest, at that time, the Tartars will send out the most elite troops, and the reinforcements of the Tartars can be regarded as truly proving their ability.

These words made the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion very unconvinced, and some soldiers were eager to fight with the Tartars immediately.

Su Tiancheng is counting the time.

It was already 19 June, and the rear army of the Jiangning battalion led by Hong Chengchou would arrive in two days, and if they wanted to defeat the army led by Azig, they had to rely on the artillery battalion to sneak attack Fangshan County and achieve an unbelievable victory, which was certainly a good thing, but we should not take it lightly and think that the Tartars were vulnerable.

The real elite, Azig has taken out the Lu to sweep all over the North Zhili.

The results were quickly counted.

The Tartars slain in this battle amounted to 4,820 men, captured 191 Tartars, captured 20,000 taels of gold, 540,000 taels of silver, and 80,000 stone of grain. There were 3,000 horses, 4,000 pairs of armor, and countless other steel swords and spears.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Youzhen held the fold in his hand, and his face was flushed with excitement.

The Jiangning battalion had just arrived in Beijing for four days, and had annihilated 5,000 Tartars and nearly 200 prisoners. Such a big victory, he would not have expected it if he wanted to break his head.

Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang and the others, with smiles on their faces, at this time, they completely believed that what Su Tiancheng said about annihilating 20,000 Tartars was not a big talk, let alone a joke.

Maybe it's been suppressed for too long, Zhu Youzhen is too excited. Unexpectedly, he thought that the Jiangning battalion could completely annihilate the Tartars who entered the pass.

This can also be understood, the dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was bullied by the Tartars, did not look good, 100,000 Tartars, entered the Guannei, and ran rampant, and even the Jingshi was under martial law. Finally, I have the opportunity to vent my anger, how can I not grasp it.

Of course. Zhu Youzhen's consideration is also realistic, if he can completely annihilate these 100,000 Tartars, it will greatly weaken the strength of Houjin, and within a few years, Houjin will not be able to turn over, which gives Daming a chance. After exterminating the Liukou with all his might, he calmly launched an attack on Houjin, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he misses it, he will be a sinner.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me. How should I decide, the Jiangning battalion is amazing, it annihilated 5,000 Tartars in one go, and at this rate, Azig's 100,000 army will be wiped out. ”

Wen Tiren looked at everyone and spoke slowly, he had received a secret letter from Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng confessed his worries, under the current situation, it is unrealistic to completely annihilate the 100,000 army of Azig, and it is necessary to prepare the rogues in Shaanxi, waiting for the opportunity to dispatch, the best way is to annihilate a part of the Tartars, so as to force Houjin, in a short period of time, do not dare to covet my Daming, as for the complete eradication of the Tartars, it will take a certain amount of time.

Wen Tiren agreed with Su Tiancheng's opinion very much, and also felt that Su Tiancheng was very smart, and even guessed what the emperor was thinking, and bought the foreshadowing in advance, he was the first assistant of the cabinet, at this time, of course, he needed to come forward and persuade the emperor tactfully.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Jiangning camp has just begun to fight against the Tartars, or let them follow the predetermined deployment, step by step, as the saying goes, the order of the monarch outside will not be affected, such an extraordinary moment, let Lord Su make his own decisions, the emperor gave Lord Su the sword of Shang Fang, you can wait for the good news with peace of mind."

The excited look on Zhu Youzhen's face still did not disappear, and he looked at Wen Tiren.

"Wen Aiqing's words are very reasonable, I just want to suggest that Jiang Ningying is so brave, I will not have to worry about it from now on."

Hearing this, Wang Chengen, who was behind Zhu Youzhen, chuckled in his heart, I don't know what it would be like for Su Tiancheng, who was fighting in the Dao Dao, to hear the emperor say such words, although this is a good word, but the meaning in it is too deep, if there are people around the emperor who have ill intentions and provoke from it, it is really difficult to say what will happen.

"I see, Yang Aiqing will go to Jiangning Camp on behalf of the imperial court, Wen Aiqing, what do you think."

Since it is a matter decided by the emperor, Wen Tiren is not good to oppose it directly, not to mention that the Jiangning battalion won the first battle and fought an incredible victory, and the imperial court should send people to condolence and reward.

After leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wen Tiren called Yang Sichang aside.

"Lord Yang, you go to the Jiangning camp on behalf of the imperial court, the responsibility is heavy, the official has some ideas, think about it again, or say it well, Su Tiancheng has an extraordinary ability, just four days after arriving in Beijing, he grasped the weakness of the Tartars and won a big victory, in this case, the civil and military ministers in the court must think that the Jiangning battalion can make persistent efforts and annihilate the Tartar army led by Azig in one go, this is unrealistic, after all, the Tartars are 100,000 people, even if they lose 5,000 people, the main force still exists, The Jiangning battalion is full of more than 30,000 people, a ratio of three to one, and the Jiangning battalion is required to annihilate the Tartars, which is difficult for some strongmen, Su Tiancheng expressed his position in front of the emperor and annihilated 20,000 Tartars, which seems to be the result of serious thinking, and the cabinet and the military department should support the Su people and the Jiangning battalion. ”

Yang Sichang nodded frequently, and after Wen Tiren finished speaking, he quickly spoke.

"My lord, the lower officials understand that this time they will go to Fangshan County on behalf of the imperial court to express their condolences to the Jiangning battalion, and the lower officials will not interfere with any arrangements and deployments of the Jiangning battalion, the Jiangning battalion has seized a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass this time, and the lower officials consider that these are directly controlled by Lord Su."

"Well, you also have to take the soldiers of the Beijing camp, quickly rush to Fangshan County, Lord Su put forward a suggestion, the prisoners and corpses of the Tartars, all transported to the outskirts of Beijing, it is already summer, these corpses must be dealt with in a timely manner, otherwise it will cause a plague, it is said that the situation in Fangshan County, miserable, the Tartars burn and loot, inhumane, corpses everywhere, Jiangning Battalion and Datong Border Army, are working hard to clean up, such things, this official sees, or ask the local government to worry, Jiangning Battalion to prepare for war."

"The lower official knows."

"More than 70,000 people looted by the Tartars were detained in Fangshan County, and this time they were all rescued by the Jiangning camp, and the local government must also be properly resettled.

When Yang Sichang set out, he took five thousand soldiers from the Beijing battalion.

His time is still very tight, he arrived in Fangshan County in one day, and after meeting Su Tiancheng and others, he was about to return to Beijing, and the Jiangning camp had other arrangements next, and it was impossible for him to participate in the battle against the Tartars, and staying in Fangshan County would affect Su Tiancheng's relevant arrangements.

In his heart, Yang Sichang already has other ideas, after this matter passes, he will make a proposal to the imperial court, let Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying go directly to Shaanxi, completely exterminate the Liukou, according to the strength of the Jiangning Battalion, it is not a problem to exterminate the Liukou, if it is completely eradicated, Su Tiancheng can take the Jiangning Camp and rush to the Ningjin defense line, at that time, Su Tiancheng served as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, which is a matter of course.

Although Su Tiancheng is young, he has the ability, and the trained Jiangning battalion can be said to be invincible in the world, and others are envious and jealous, and they can't speak.

The sensation in the imperial court is even greater, the officials above the fourth grade in the capital have learned that the Jiangning battalion won the first battle, exterminated 5,000 Tartars, and countless twists and turns have come up, most of them are suggesting that the Jiangning battalion take advantage of the victory to pursue and exterminate all the Tartars who invaded the Ming Dynasty in one go, most of these twists and turns were suppressed by Wen Tiren.

These officials are also, when the Beijing division was in an emergency, they were all dumb and stopped talking, but now that they see that the situation is better, they all pop up and put forward unrealistic suggestions, the emperor is already a little hot-headed, if these twists and turns are too much, the emperor is excited for a while, and asks the Jiangning battalion to fully meet the Tartars, wouldn't it cause a big disaster.

The Jiangning battalion is precious, the Ming Dynasty currently has only one such army, which must be carefully protected, if the Jiangning battalion suffers heavy losses because of the intervention of outsiders, and collapses, the cabinet will become a sinner.

reminded Yang Sichang of those words, Wen Tiren also said it after thinking about it repeatedly, after all, Su Tiancheng wrote a secret letter to him, and he really thought about the future of the Ming Dynasty, as the first assistant of the cabinet, it would be unqualified if he couldn't show his attitude in such a matter.

There is such an atmosphere in the imperial court, Wen Tiren can not suppress it, after all, this is a rare victory, of great significance, not only the annihilation of five thousand Tartars is as simple as that, the soldiers of the Ming Guard, as well as the border troops from all over the country, are afraid of the Houjin Tartars, this is an indisputable fact, and even in some places, the combat effectiveness of the Tartars is mythical, this time, the Jiangning Battalion proved with practical actions that the Tartars are not invincible in the world, they can be defeated and annihilated.

With this fact, the imperial court can hype up, enhance the morale of the Ming soldiers, and deal with the arrogance of Houjin to the greatest extent. (To be continued......)
