After discussing merit and crime, the next thing is the banquet of all officials and generals, during the banquet, Hong Chengchou, Zhang Ruoqi and others were impassioned, encouraging all officials and generals to make persistent efforts and continue to make new contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info[ ] Especially for the loyal and brave Uncle Wang Dou, Hong Chengchou did not hesitate to praise him.

In this war, although there were some twists and turns on the way, on the whole, the war was still smooth, and the previously set strategy was also achieved one by one.

After the news of the special battle for the beheading of Azig came out, the morale of all the armies reached the highest.

For the next battle, all the officers and generals felt optimistic about the prospects, especially some officers and generals who did not participate in the war, they all held their breath, hoping that when it was their turn, they could also make some contributions.

This time, Wang Dou and Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Fu Yingchong, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen sat at a table, looking at Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong's eyebrows dancing, Wang Dou couldn't help nodding secretly, in this battle, the performance of the two subordinates was remarkable, especially Wang Pu, which is very different from the performance in history, is this the so-called close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black?

During the banquet, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen both toasted and congratulated Wang Dou vigorously, and expressed envy for the new great achievements of the Jingbian Army, and Wang Tingchen even cracked his mouth and said: "It's a pity, I didn't kill the enemy side by side with General Wang this time, otherwise my old king would be able to get wiped out!" ”

Everyone at the table laughed, attracting the constant attention of others, especially the attention of Wu Sangui at the adjacent table, Wang Dou also laughed, and then stopped, and said solemnly to Wang Tingchen: "Brother Wang and others are stationed in Xingshan, in fact, the burden is not light, this battle has just begun, and there will be big battles in the future." ”

Cao Bianjiao put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Indeed, recently, the thieves and slaves have snooped on Yiduo, and it is expected that after they are frustrated in Songshan, they will beat me Wudaoling and Daxingbao." The idea of cutting off my food route! ”

Wang Dou nodded: "That's for sure." In fact, in today's battle, the combat power of the slaves and thieves cannot be underestimated, especially because they have strong troops. Now there are a large number of artillery troops, so we must not have the idea of despising the enemy! ”

Today's battle is over. Although the Ming army was victorious, the drawbacks of the uneven combat strength of the various divisions were also exposed. According to Wang Dou's judgment, with the same strength, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, and Bai Guangen are difficult to be the opponents of the Qing soldiers.

Li Fuming is also hanging, Zuo Guang led the Qin army first, and it is okay to fight the peasant army. It's hard to say to the Qing soldiers. The rest may be tied, Wang Pu has a slight upper hand, and Yang Guozhu will win. Although the Jingbian Army can fight. It is impossible to put out fires everywhere, there is always a time when you are dragged and entangled.

And the generals of the Ming army were not in agreement. Each had his own idea, he looked at everyone in the banquet, and according to the number of tables, it was obviously divided into several factions. The Xuanda Army headed by himself, as well as the Liaodong Army headed by Wu Sangui, plus Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Zu Dale and others, and the neutral faction of Li Fuming, Zuo Guangxian, and Liu Zhaoji.

Looking at Hong Chengchou's table again, although they are all talking and laughing softly, discussing how to write good news, but Hong Chengchou, Zhang Ruoqi, and Wang Chengen obviously have different thoughts, how will the situation go in the future? Wang Dou is hard to estimate.

But for sure, he will not allow the historical Matsuyama fiasco to repeat, even if he can't win a big victory, he can't fail.

When he was pondering, Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong patted their shoulders and laughed at each other, and the two of them smelled like each other. However, while Wang Pu's eyebrows were dancing, he did not forget to complain to Wang Dou, saying that as soon as this battle started, the power of the medicine was consumed too quickly, and he hoped that Zhongyong Bo could support some.

Wang Dou nodded, at that time, he sold Wang Pu 2,000 bird guns, each bird gun with 50 rounds of medicine, if the scale of the war on weekdays is enough, but I don't know when the Songshan War will be fought, each bird gun with 50 rounds of medicine, I am afraid that it will be insufficient in the future. { }

At the same time, in today's battle, the fixed cartridge ammunition of his Jingbian army is good, but the consumption of 10,000 enemies is quite large. Under the circumstance that it is necessary to vigorously support friendly forces and cannot be replenished locally, I am afraid that the ammunition of 10,000 enemies carried by the baggage battalion will only last for one or two months. …,

Fortunately, the General Staff Department had already taken this into account, and the heavy logistics of the army would be continuously sent from the east road. A number of military stations and trading stations were also set up along the way, so that as long as the grain routes were not cut off, weapons, grain and grass could be supplied.

Thinking of this, Wang Dou said: "Brother Wang doesn't have to worry about the matter of Ziyao, just fight with peace of mind, and leave a name in history today!" ”

The development of gunpowder restricts the use of firearms in this era, and if gunpowder is sufficient, it is not difficult to order the production of cartridge ammunition.

Taking Donglu as an example, an employee of a gunpowder factory, under the condition of assembly line operation, one person can pack hundreds of rounds of customized cartridge ammunition a day, and a factory is tens of thousands of rounds a day, how much is a year?

The bird gun system on the east road now has strict standards, so the lead can be cast in a mold, and each time the mold is cast out is a large number, and the error is not large, eliminating the trouble of manual selection and polishing, and also speeding up the production of fixed paper tube ammunition.

As long as the supply of gunpowder keeps up, the production of weapons on the eastern route is not difficult. Moreover, the East Road now uses the nitrate collection method, although there is a season, but there is no problem with hundreds of tons of black powder a year.

This is also the reason why Wang Dou has the confidence to use firearms on a large scale, and he is not afraid of the outflow of weapons.

After receiving Wang Dou's assurance, Wang Pu was overjoyed and said: "Everything depends on the loyal and brave uncle, the loyal and brave uncle is high and righteous, and the younger brother is grateful, and he will do his best in the future, and then die." ”

Everyone laughed, Wang Dou was also dumbfounded, looking at Fu Yingchong beside him, he was also grinning, laughing so much that he showed his two front teeth, he groaned for a long time, and said: "Brother Big Tooth, our army has captured a lot of Tartar armor in this battle, after returning to the camp, you choose some suitable armor and let your subordinates change it." ”

Wang Dou knew the disadvantages of the Ming army's unfavorable equipment, but he didn't expect the Shenji Battalion to be the same, their armor was worn by the Qing army with a single shot, which was much beyond Wang Dou's expectations.

Fu Yingchong was a little embarrassed and said: "Let Uncle Zhongyong laugh, those sons and daughters under his command are indeed not like words." ”

He knew about the Shenji Battalion, not to mention his neglect of training on weekdays, and his maintenance of weapons and armor was superficial.

In fact, the armor and weapons they issued and handed down from their ancestors are all good, but after many years of no maintenance, the armor leaves inside are rusty. In order to deal with the manipulation of Shangguan and the emperor, they only worked on the armor and clothing, so they looked mighty on the surface, but in fact they were just a showman.

Not only that, but many people who have horses and mules also directly deduct the horse material. Their own horses are not fed. Reselling to merchants, up and down, this is one of the reasons why the horses of the Ming army are thin.

Frankly. Fu Yingchong didn't care about these things in the past, and most of his energy was spent on communication. When he was on the battlefield, the whole Shenji battalion found out that this would cost his life.

The captured Qing soldiers' armor is well-made, although some of them were pierced and broken by the Jingbian army's bird guns, but most of them can be used with a little repair, which makes many Ming officials and generals look ashamed.

Because Wang Dou gave up a lot of heads, the Qing army's horses, armor, weapons, and some horse meat captured in this battle. are all at the disposal of Wang Dou, and even Wu Sangui is not good at competing with him. And the Ming army had a military discipline that was captured and returned to all officers and generals, and Hong Chengchou was also difficult to ask.

These armors. Even inlaid with iron cotton armor. Chain mail, etc., are counted separately. There are more than 3,000 pairs, all of which are stored in the barracks of the Jingbian Army.

Armor and horses, in the eyes of the officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty, are important wealth resources, Wang Dou generously gave Fu Yingchong a batch, how can Fu Yingchong not be moved? When he arrived in Liaodong from Jingshi, he had too much affection for Wang Dou, he patted his chest and stood up, a little choked: "Uncle Zhongyong, little brother, this ......"

Wang Dou waved his hand to stop it, and stared at him: "Brother Big Tooth, we are comrades-in-arms, aren't we?" ”…,

Fu Yingchong said continuously: "Yes, yes, it's a comrade-in-arms, it's a comrade-in-arms." ”

Wang Pu's eyes were hot, and he wanted those armors too. However, he has already asked Wang Dou for the powerful medicine, and if he asks for armor, he will not be interesting, and it will hurt his relationship with Wang Dou, and he now attaches great importance to his friendship with Wang Dou.

He shook his head, stood up in a dashing manner, and said, "Brother Fu, you also know the character of Uncle Zhongyong, so you don't want a mother-in-law and a mother!" Come, we people get together as fate, and make a toast to our friendship. ”

"yes, cheers!"

Wang Tingchen likes to be lively, first attached, a table of people stood up, Fu Yingchong raised his glass and said: "When I came to Liaodong from Beijing, the younger brother listened to Zhongyongbo sing a song, and felt deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

He suddenly sang in a voice that scared the ghosts and gods: "How can you forget your old friends, can you not think about it in your heart?" How can old friends forget each other, and friendship lasts forever! ”

Wang Pu and others also heard Wang Dou sing this song, and they thought the melody was good at the time, so they secretly remembered it in their hearts, and now everyone generously spoke together and raised their wine glasses.

"Long live friendship, long live friendship, long live friendship!"

"Raise a glass and drink with one voice, sing with one voice, and the friendship lasts forever."

"Long live friendship, long live friends, long live friendship."

"Raise a glass and drink with one voice, and the friendship will last forever ......"

They laughed and slapped the table, whether it was Wang Dou or Yang Guozhu, they all raised their glasses and sang in unison.

Their laughter and singing made others stunned, Wu Sangui turned his eyes to look at this, Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

After the end of the Zhujie banquet, Wang Dou and others came out, Yang Guozhu has been very silent in the hall, I don't know what he is thinking, at this time he is looking for a vacancy, this general suddenly said to Wang Dou: "Guoqin, what do you think of me going to Jizhen?" ”

Wang Dou stopped abruptly and looked at Yang Guozhu's eyes blazing, just looking at himself. Wang Dou stared for a long time, and said with a blank look at Yang Guozhu: "Jizhen is a good place, if Yang Shuai arrives there, he will definitely be able to exert his fists and kicks!" ”

Yang Guozhu had a smile on his face and said, "Guoqin thinks the same as me!" ”

He shouted in a low voice: "Guoqin, you help me take down the 10,000 Ji Zhen soldiers!" ”

Wang Dou pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "Yang Shuai, what good are those soldiers and ruffians?" Bai Guangen is a lesson from the past. What Yang Shuai can rely on is your 15,000 good army, and there are not many soldiers. ”

Yang Guozhu pondered for a long time and sighed: "That's it! ”

He looked at Wang Dou and said, "I won't be polite to you, and then I will take all those new troops away, just ......"

He hesitated.

Wang Dou knew what he was thinking, and said: "Yang Shuai, just rest assured, when the time comes, I will be in charge of Xuanzhen, if anyone dares to touch the acres of the new army, I don't mind killing him like the East Road, and killing him again will be a river of blood!" ”

Yang Guozhu looked at Wang Dou and said solemnly: "Guoqin, it's really a blessing for Yang to get to know you!" ”

Wang Dou smiled and said: "The same is true of Dou, just like the singing voice, let our friendship last forever!" ”

The two walked side by side, and Yang Guozhu suddenly said: "The letter came, my daughter has a body." ”

Wang Dou was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Yue'e to be pregnant, and she hit the shot, she was really a woman who was easy to give birth to.

……

On that day, the Ming army, not only the officers and generals congratulated Jie, but also the governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou, also ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the camps of the various armies were boiling and celebrating.

On the same day, Hong Chengchou, Wang Chengen, and Zhang Ruoqi respectively reported the good news, as well as a common good news, which was also sent to Beijing in an expedited manner of 800 miles, reporting the victory to Emperor Chongzhen and the government and the opposition.

The Ming army celebrated, but in the Qing army camp, it was a dreary.

Between Shimen Mountain and Xiaoling River, along both sides of the river, densely packed, full of tents of the Qing army camp that cannot be seen, hunting with flags. Around the camp, there are deep trenches and wooden walls one after another, and at intervals, there are arrow towers towering, heavily defended. …,

The followers of the brigade came and went, carrying water from the river to make food, and there was a lot of noise. Among these sounds, there are also the desolate howls of the camps from time to time, which makes people upset when they hear it, and it can be said that it has greatly affected the morale of the army.

These howling people were some of the wounded soldiers in the Qing army who were hit by artillery and birds, and perhaps for these people, those who died on the spot were lucky, and they survived and were rescued by their comrades, but it was a kind of torture.

When a person is hit by a bird's gun, first of all, the lead bullet has no penetrating power, and when it hits the human body, it is like a sledgehammer hitting it hard, and immediately the part of the bullet is hit to pieces by muscle necrosis, internal organs, or something. When digging out the lead bullet, it is also necessary to prevent the remaining gunpowder and projectile rags in the wound from not being cleaned, and if you are not careful, it will be infected.

For these Qing soldiers, only amputation was done if they were hit by a bird's gun, and they were only waiting to die when they were hit by a bird's gun, and they also had to prevent wound infection during amputation.

The people who were hit by the artillery were even worse, and the solid iron ball that roared over hit many people to break their muscles and bones, and their flesh and blood were blurred, even if they rubbed a little, it was a huge trauma. The dirt on the iron ball, the gunpowder, the iron filings, all kinds of residues and dirty things, just rubbing a little bit on the body, is a series of serious diseases.

In this era, wound infection is a major fatal factor, under the premise of no antibiotics, or this hot weather, sepsis, infection, high fever, blood loss, all kinds of factors, the injury caused is enough to be fatal, especially in the backward medical conditions of the Qing army.

Hit 10,000 enemies, the same is true of gray bullets, poison bombs, etc., all kinds of pain, it is really indescribable.

Therefore, for those Qing soldiers, it was fortunate to die on the spot, and the rest had to wail for days and nights, struggling to die in more and more pain.
