An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and in the midst of that hour, the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions, though constantly resounded on the battlefield.

However, no matter what, the three thousand sword and shield men he sent into the earthen fort came out one after another......

Someone carried a musket on his shoulder, someone carried bags and bags of grenades...... With an excited face, he left the earthen fort......

Soon, a result appeared in Zhang Zhongming's hands.

Deputy General Huang Yongzhong reported with excitement on his face: "My lord, the statistics are out...... We seized a total of 1,128 muskets, more than 25,000 rounds of lead bullet and more than 6,000 grenades at the earthen fort...... In addition, 24 mortars and 1,356 flowering shells of various types were seized......"

"Good ......" Facing these sophisticated firearms that had already arrived, Zhang Zhongming couldn't help but applaud.

"I won't say much about grenades, as much as we use, the court will replenish us...... However, the musket is different from Sure Ran, even the imperial court, and it does not have the strength to replenish us......"

"Tell the brothers that the captured muskets and cannons must be brought back to me one by one......

After getting all the firearms that could equip 2,000 people out of thin air, Zhang Zhongming's face was not only satisfied but also satisfied. Under the gaze of Adjutant General Huang Yong, without the slightest hesitation, he decisively issued the order to withdraw the troops.

More than 8,000 new troops from Ganning have just withdrawn from the battlefield for less than an hour. More than 1,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army appeared on the edge of the battlefield.

There was no doubt that these hurried cavalry pounced.

At this time, the new army of Ganning had re-entered the mountains and forests under the command of Zhang Zhongming. Disappear from view.

Zhang Zhongming, the governor of Ganning. In front of the powerful Haw Par Army reinforcements. Became a shrunken turtle again.

However, the information from outside the mountain still reached his ears in a steady stream......

In less than two days, the specific results of the Ganning New Army on the battlefield reached Zhang Zhongming's ears......

More than 1,800 officers and men of the 10th Division and 1st Regiment were killed in direct battle......

Faced with this result, Yu Baoguo, a close member of the imperial court, has always had a tense facial expression, at this moment. Finally, a very rare smile was revealed......

looked at Zhang Zhongming, and exclaimed with excitement on his face: "My lord, you are worthy of being the emperor's most valued minister...... With just one sortie, so many Haw Par troops were wiped out...... Wei Chen is sure that until this result, His Majesty will definitely reward the Lord and the soldiers under his command......"

Speaking of this, Yu Baoguo seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked Zhang Zhongming: "Lord Governor, Weichen is about to write a recital for His Majesty." Report this good news...... If you have any requests, the official will report them together...... The officer believes. After receiving the good news, your majesty will definitely be happy and agree to all your requests......"

"Of course there are requirements......" Zhang Zhongming replied without thinking.

For Zhang Zhongming, who has no logistical support, winning the battle is the basis for asking the court for money and grain.

It's hard to come across such a good opportunity, and if you give it up like this, it's too sorry for the subordinates who died on the battlefield.

Under Yu Baoguo's gaze, he replied with a heavy face: "Lord Yu, you have also seen that in order to eliminate this more than 1,000 tiger and leopard army, more than 6,000 soldiers were killed directly in the new army of Gan......ning."

"These soldiers who died in battle must not die in vain. Therefore, the imperial court must come up to 300,000 taels of silver to compensate these soldiers......"

"In addition, the imperial court will also take out at least 200,000 taels of silver to reward meritorious soldiers......"

"Of course, the losses of the Ganning New Army are so large, in order to continue to maintain the superiority in strength in the two provinces, the Ganning New Army is bound to expand its army. Therefore, the official also needs the imperial court to immediately allocate 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 quintals of grain as the food and salary for the expansion of the new army in Ganning in a short period of time......"

The lion opened his mouth...... This was Yu Baoguo's first thought after hearing this.

However, even so, Yu Baoguo didn't say much...... After all, what Zhang Zhongming said was the truth, and the Ganning New Army did win a big victory......

Besides, even if this is a lion's big mouth, that is something that the imperial court needs to consider. As a close messenger of the imperial court, what I need to do is to report the situation here to the imperial court as truthfully as possible......

Thinking of this, Yu Baoguo continued to ask: "Food, silver...... Apart from these two, the Governor does not know if there is any other need......"

"Weapons, a lot of weapons, especially grenades, the more the better...... The grenades that the imperial court sent to the official last time have already run out...... This time, the imperial court will send at least 50,000 grenades to the official......"

From Gansu and Ningbo provinces to Nanjing, even if the horse is fast, it will take several days.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen received the good news, it had been ten days since the battle ended.

After Tong Guò Jinyiwei confirmed the authenticity of the fold, Chongzhen's face was immediately replaced by a thick smile.

At this moment, if he was not in the main hall, he did not sit in front of the ministers...... He would surely laugh and let off his excitement and excitement......

Because, from the opposition between himself and the Haw Par Army, no matter which aspect, the court is a loser.

And now, the imperial court has actually won...... For Emperor Chongzhen, he had no intention of falling pie from the sky, which made him have to be full of excitement......

Under the gaze of the ministers, it took a long time for Chongzhen to react from the excitement.

Long Yan Dayue, he seemed to have forgotten the cabinet system of the imperial court, and said directly: "This Zhang Zhongming does not disdain his trust in her...... According to the song, since Zhang Zhongming became the governor of Ganning, the number of Hubao troops eliminated has exceeded 4,000...... With such a big result, the imperial court can't help but reward ......"

"I decided to agree to all of Zhang Zhongming's demands in the recital...... Immediately allocate 1 million taels of silver, 50,000 quintals of grain, and 50,000 grenades to the governor's palace of Ganning. At the same time, the Ganning Governor's Office was allowed to expand the new army of Ganning to 50,000 men......"

In Chongzhen's eyes, the Ganning New Army has invisibly become the vanguard of his revenge on the Tiger and Leopard Army, and let Emperor Chongzhen see the opportunity to defeat the Tiger and Leopard Army and defeat the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen at this moment has only one idea, that is, to spare no effort to support the new army of Ganning......

However, Chongzhen valued the Ganning New Army so much, and invested a lot of resources in the Ganning New Army...... This was clearly not in line with the interest of most of the courtiers of the imperial court.

Therefore, as soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, he was opposed by many ministers......

However, it began with the economic power of the imperial court and the 100,000 new army in hand. Chongzhen's prestige in the imperial court has reached the point of being a man of his word. For these objections, Chongzhen directly ignored them...... (To be continued......)
