After the victory, the generals of the Ming army actually felt depressed, and there was no atmosphere of joy at all, which made Zhu Yongxing feel both relieved and felt that this emotion needed to be resolved.

It is gratifying that after this series of victories, the morale of the Ming army has risen, and it is no longer the confused, lost and wandering state before. Being dissatisfied with letting Daniel Zhang escape, it can be seen that the Ming army has raised the standard of victory by several levels.

"Daniel Zhang abandoned the army and fled, and there were only less than 3,000 soldiers left under his command, which can be described as extremely embarrassing." Zhu Yongxing pondered the words, and said to the generals with a smile: "Those who are brave, when they see my Ming military banner in the future, they will definitely be timid and afraid of war, and let him live longer, what's the matter?" ”

"It was the king's misjudgment and too timid and cautious that gave Daniel Zhang an opportunity." Bai Wenxuan stood up and bowed and said, "If you fail to completely annihilate the enemy army under the good situation, please punish Your Highness." ”

"What kind of punishment to talk about, King Zhao is serious." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand, motioned for Bai Wenxuan to sit down, pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "Prudent use of troops is the way to win, and we must not change our course because of today's events, so as to cause disasters in other days." It's getting late, send someone to recall the king of Ruyang, don't chase after him in anger, in case you fall into an ambush, it's not good. ”

Bai Wenxuan immediately sent a messenger to inform Ma Bao. In fact, everyone knew very well in their hearts that Daniel Zhang had won at least nearly four hours by using tricks. He took away the mules and horses in the army, whether they were war horses or cart pullers, and this place was not very far from Nansai's public house, and it was unlikely that he could pursue and defeat the Qing army at night. It's just that the boiled duck flew, making everyone a little unable to swallow this breath. Therefore, they all hoped that the cavalry led by Ma Bao would have more gains, and no one suggested that they should be withdrawn.

Seeing that things had been arranged, Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said: "The Tengchong Battle was able to defeat the Qing army and win a great victory, thanks to your loyalty and bravery. When the remnants of Daniel Zhang are forced into Gaoligong Mountain and the great success is completed, I will represent the emperor and the imperial court, and reward merit and deeds. ”

Bai Wenxuan and the generals stood up and thanked him humbly, what "It's all the work of His Highness." "It's all His Highness's willingness to risk arrows and stones, and the power of the first soldiers." "It is the power of the artifact made by His Highness, and the power is as powerful as a bamboo." and so on.

Zhu Yongxing was in a happy mood, although he knew that others were touting compliments, but he was happy to listen to it. Isn't it fun to wear a high hat?

"You're overrated." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand pretending to be reserved, and said with a smile: "The war is coming to an end, and it is time for me to go to Annam." Prepare first, and in five or six or seven or eight days, I will lead the team to set off. At that time, although the road was separated by thousands of miles, the ambition to resist the Qing Dynasty and the heart of Zhongxing Daming were still the same indestructible. Together with all of you, I will surely create a new situation that is different from the past. When the blood is everywhere and the danger is swaying, isn't it the day when our generation will make contributions and make great achievements. ”

"Where is Your Highness in a hurry?" Bai Wenxuan said euphemistically: "Military cooperation is strong, and strength is weak, so if you don't develop here." ”

Zhu Yongxing shook his head lightly, and blocked everyone's persuasion with just one sentence, "I dare not disobey the meaning of His Majesty." ”

From Bai Wenxuan's proposal, Zhu Yongxing already knew that the idea of being loyal to the monarch of the Taoist people had been deeply rooted, regardless of whether Yongli was wise and martial or cowardly and incompetent. Especially Bai Wenxuan and Li Dingguo, Zhu Yongxing has already classified them as allies against the Qing Dynasty, just allies. And to win over the objects of corruption, Zhu Yongxing certainly has preliminary candidates, and those will be his descendants.

Loyal ministers, when reading history from the outside, it is in addition to admiration and admiration, and I can't wait to fight side by side with them and leave a name in history. But if you are really in that environment, you will find that if you want to get out of the tragedy of history and turn things around according to your own intentions, you can only stay close and distant to those stubborn loyal ministers.

Because the road they want to take is doomed to failure, and it is even more wrong because an emperor who abandoned the country put the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty in a secondary position. Even if the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty needs a banner and a monarch surnamed Zhu who is ostensibly worshipped, Zhu Yongxing will not put the cart before the horse.

On the other hand, Zhu Yongxing, who has tasted power, will not give up easily. Even if you are a famous general through the ages, even if you are a brave and loyal minister, as long as you take the wrong path, or you can't keep up with my pace, you are destined to be abandoned by Zhu Yongxing. Sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

Do you want to turn things around, revive China, and go forever? Of course not. This is not Zhu Yongxing's boasting and arrogant, but a true fact.

Daniel Zhang fled. Although many people are a little reluctant to do this, Zhu Yongxing has adjusted his mentality and focused his attention on the upcoming journey east to Annan.

And it will take a few days to wait, except for the rest and recuperation of the troops, the selection of entourage, and the preparation of food and grass materials. Zhu Yongxing also hoped that the news of the great victory over the Qing army could spread, which would provide great convenience for the migration of tens of thousands of people.

It was not that he was worried about the Qing army's interception, but about the attitude of the Tusi and the people along the way. Those toasts are very old and have a lot of savings, and in the face of the victorious army, there will be more support.

After this battle, the Ming army also suffered many casualties, but the Qing soldiers and auxiliaries who were captured were even more. If all of them are replenished, the strength of the Ming army will greatly exceed that of before, and there will be more than 20,000 people.

But for replenishing soldiers, Zhu Yongxing still has his own principles. As for the auxiliaries, because there is no sin, they take the form of voluntary joining. Many of the auxiliary soldiers were forcibly captured by the Qing army in Yunnan, and there were either old and young in the family, or parents, wives and children, and they were forcibly incorporated into the army, which was difficult to feel at ease and was also an unstable factor for the army; As for the captured Qing soldiers, they still went through the sins, urged them to repent, and killed the officials and had no way out. Then, those with a better attitude were incorporated into the army, and those who were more hesitant were served as coolies to atone for their sins.

As for the injuries and illnesses among the prisoners of the Qing army, Zhu Yongxing sent people to try his best to heal them, and asked the prisoners who had performed well in the early stage to go to appease the propaganda. To this end, he also wrote down many of the essentials and methods of political and ideological work in later generations, which were studied and conveyed by the newly established missionary organs.

Daniel Zhang's grain retention is just a small favor. Healing wounds and diseases is a life-saving grace. Comparing the two, the high and low are immediate. Except for those pro-soldiers, who were fed by the generals, or regarded the generals as benefactors, they were more dead. Most of the Qing soldiers were only for food and pay, not for some lofty and great ideals. But people's hearts change people's hearts, and Zhu Yongxing does not believe that ingratitude will be the psychology of many people.
