In this battle, if the Zheng Jiajun was not too tired, he was afraid that he would have to chase and kill the Qing army for more than 30 kilometers.

In this battle, Zheng Jiajun can be described as a complete victory.

Before the siege of the 170,000 troops, only 50,000 horses escaped alive, among which Ao Bai slipped the fastest, and his 10,000 Manmeng Eight Banners protected the best, basically no damage, but the rest were basically destroyed after completion.

A group of subordinates pursued and killed the Qing army, and there were many successes.

"Report, the last general captured the Qing general Zhang Pengcheng, the Qing soldiers captured 3,000, eight golden drums, and five banners......" He Wenxing handed over the report.

"Report, the last general will present the head of the Qing general Gao Qian, and the Qing soldiers captured 2,000 ......," Liu Guoxuan reported.

"Report, the end will rob 100 grain carts and capture 6,000 prisoners......" Wan Li recital.

……

Wang Zhongxiao counted all the soldiers and reported to Zheng Chenggong.

"Generals, Qing generals Ma Baozi, Li Benshen, Liu Zhong, Hu Maozhen, Zhang Pengcheng, deputy generals Gao Qian, Wang Ping, Zhang Pengcheng, Li Rong, Zhang Hongde, Liu Yingjie, Fan Shaozu, etc. were all killed in this battle. Our army killed more than 74,000 Qing soldiers and captured more than 39,000 Qing soldiers. Thousands of grain wagons were looted, with a total of 110,000 stone of grain, 43 artillery pieces, and 1,126 war horses......"

Listening to the reports one by one, Zheng Chenggong laughed heartily.

This battle finally defeated the Qing army, 300,000 troops, only 50,000 or 60,000 remained, and they were no longer able to invade the east.

Wang Zhongxiao continued to report, "In this battle, our army lost 6,467 people, 3,120 people were seriously wounded, and countless people were lightly wounded. ”

Listening to this casualty figure, Zheng Chenggong felt very uncomfortable, and he would succeed in ten thousand bones!

Zheng Chenggong asked softly: "How many soldiers and horses does our army still have?" ”

"Including the wounded, there are only 19,000 people!"

Ay! The battle suffered heavy casualties, and although Anhui was taken, it was won with heavy casualties. The Qing army was unable to advance eastward, and the Zheng army had troops and horses to attack Luohuguang in the west.

The veterans of a hundred battles suffered heavy casualties, and without a year or two, there was no way to recover.

failed to occupy all the chassis south of the Yangtze River, and used the powerful Zheng Jiajun naval division to defend it, and the situation in the world is more variable!

But all this is self-inflicted, and I can't blame others.

Zheng Chenggong came back to his senses and said: "After this battle, I will lead my troops back to Nanjing to recuperate, pack up the military horses, and wait for the opportunity to attack Huguang again!" The more than 30,000 Qing prisoners stayed here to build a new city wall in Anqing, and at the same time built an official road. ”

Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly said: "Yes, general, the lower officials will arrange it!" ”

After Wang Zhongxiao left, Chen Yonghua asked, "General, who are you going to send to stay in Anqing?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "The most critical place in Anqing, Ling He Wenxing is the main general, and Yu Kuan is the deputy general, guarding this place. Stay Zhou Quanbin to guard Chizhou. But there is a hurry, and the future is reported. I will personally lead the army to slow down! ”

Chen Yonghua heard it and said, "General, the arrangement is very proper!" ”

Zheng Chenggong's distribution has been decided, and he asked his subordinates to go down to prepare and prepare to return to Nanjing.

Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers were killed in the explosion, and their limbs, broken corpses, and corpses were piled up along with the rubble of the city wall.

The people who were sent to collect the corpses couldn't tell the difference, so they dug a pit and buried it all in one go.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army were treated differently, they were carefully cleaned up, and even the severed limbs had to be carefully searched, and after they were found, they were sent to stitch them together.

Then they were burned one by one, packed with white porcelain, and sent back to Nanjing to send them to their relatives.

Soldiers will inevitably die in battle!

Every soldier was mentally prepared.

But even so, every Chinese person hopes that they can return to their roots after they die, and not be a lonely ghost.

In order to be worthy of these warriors, after each battle, Zheng Chenggong asked someone to carefully check the soldier book.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses!

Let them all "return" to their hometown with honor, and they will not drift alone in the wilderness and be devoured by wild beasts.

On the 10th day of the first month of July, there was a Taoist temple in Anqing City.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army are tied with white cloth strips around their waists, and thousands of soldiers hold flags in their hands, standing solemnly around, and their souls are like forests.

Not far away, Zheng Chenggong, He Wenxing, Chen Yonghua and others all looked solemn, silently watching the wooden spiritual seats being respectfully sent to the altar by several Taoist priests, but the sadness in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

The tens of thousands of Zheng soldiers standing around them sang together, their voices low and long, majestic, tragic, and desolate.

"Wu Gexi was rhinoceros armor, and the car was wrong and short-handed.

……

The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute. ”

The sergeants chanted "Nine Songs" over and over again. The Death of the Nation", the voice echoed leisurely in the sky, for a long time......

The spiritual seats of the fallen soldiers are placed in this Taoist temple to enjoy the worship of the four o'clock.

After paying tribute to the fallen soldiers, He Wenxing and Yu Qian were left to lead more than 15,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Anqing in preparation for the Qing army.

Zheng Chenggong set off with 6,000 soldiers and horses to return to Nanjing. The civil and military officials of Anhui were still brought back to Nanjing for calling.

When the army walked to Wuhu to recuperate, a spy handed Zheng Chenggong the latest military information.

After quickly browsing the military situation, Zheng Chenggong angrily put the letter on the ground and scolded: "Jianzi, deceive me too much!" ”

Seeing Zheng Chenggong lose his temper, Chen Yonghua picked up the letter and quickly browsed it.

I saw that the letter newspaper read: On June 20, Li Chengdong of Guangdong took advantage of the fierce battle between the Qing army and the Zheng army to send troops to attack Ganzhou, Jiangxi. After four days of siege, Hu Yousheng, the governor of Ganzhou, heard the news of Hong Chengchou's defeat and surrendered out of the city.

Li Chengdong sent Hu Yousheng to be the striker, and everywhere he went, he called out to surrender. Li Chengdong's soldiers attacked Nanchang City without blood, and conquered Nanchang City when the Qing soldiers were unprepared. surrendered, and now the whole province of Jiangxi is returned to Li Chengdong!

In order to reward Li Chengdong, Yongli named him the king of Zhennan!

The title of King Zhennan and King Pingnan is the same, but like the difference between King Qin and King Chu, among the kings, King Qin is the most noble.

Among the two-character kings, the town word is more noble than the flat word.

Taking advantage of the bloody battle between Lao Tzu and the Qing army, you came to pick up the cheap, but now seeing Lao Tzu's heavy losses, he dared to climb on Lao Tzu's head, deceiving people too much!

Zheng Chenggong scolded Li Chengdong and Yongli in the barracks, and Chen Yonghua hurriedly drove those subordinates out.

When Zheng Chenggong's anger subsided, Chen Yonghua persuaded him: "General, although Li Chengdong is the most profitable among all this time, he will stop here." His west of Guangxi belonged to the Great Western Army, and to the east and north of Fujian and Anhui were our army, and the places where he was in three places were besieged by people, and he could no longer expand. If he dares to risk the world's great trouble to attack our army and the Great Western Army, he is afraid that he will end up betraying his relatives, so he has nothing to worry about! ”

Zheng Chenggong sighed and said: "I know, just thinking that our army, the Great Western Army, and the Qing Army all suffered heavy losses and were forced to truce, Li Chengdong easily took a big advantage, and he was unhappy!" ”

Chen Yonghua said: "General, now is not the time for our army to fall out with Li Chengdong, and I ask the general to be patient for the time being." ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "Fufu rest assured, I still have this tolerance." It's just that Li Chengdong is nothing, there are only two provinces. Lao Tzu now has the chassis of the four provinces, and let the butcher ride on Lao Tzu's head, where will Lao Tzu's face go! Fufu, send someone to Yongli to make up, just say that the responsibility for this defeat lies with me, and I should be demoted, please resign from the title! ”

Chen Yonghua thought for a while and said: "This plan is feasible, the general will do great things in the future, and he has always been the official of Yonglifeng, and he has many concerns about acting in the future!" ”

Zheng Chenggong said with relief when he heard it: "Fufu knows my heart!" ”

After receiving Zheng Chenggong's report, Yong Li panicked, and hurriedly summoned Qu Shiyun into the palace, saying: "Qu Aiqing, your beating plan is not good!" You see, Zheng Chenggong didn't even want a knighthood! ”

Qu Shiyun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Mingyan wants to retreat as advance!" The emperor should persuade him with good words, otherwise people who don't know the inside story will think that the emperor has no grace to tolerate people, which is very detrimental to the emperor's reputation. ”

Yongli had no choice but to hurriedly issue an order to appease Zheng Chenggong, but Zheng Chenggong did not dare to accept it.

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong refused to accept the title when he died, Qu Shiyun had no choice but to say: "Since Zheng Mingyan surrendered on his own, the emperor can divide the meritorious soldiers under him." can appease Zheng Mingyan, and at the same time show grace to him. ”

So Yongli issued an order to crown Gan Hui as Chongming Bo, Lin Xishan as Tong'anbo, Hong Xu as Yong'anbo, He Wenxing as Xiangfu Bo, Wang Xiuqi as Qingdu Bo, Zhang Jin as Jian'anbo, as for the other soldiers, they are also rewarded for meritorious deeds, or promoted or rewarded.

Gan Hui, Lin Xishan, Hong Xu, Wang Xiuqi, He Wenxing, Zhang Jin and other soldiers all played together and said that they had the emperor's grace and did not dare to accept it!

Zhaoqing is desperately trying to seal Zheng Chenggong and his subordinates, but Nanjing is desperately refusing, the envoys are running back and forth on both sides, and the horses are tired to death of three or four, and the matter continues to be ripped off. (To be continued.) )
