Chapter 885: After the War

"Your Majesty, the results of this battle have been preliminarily counted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Stayed in the new army for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng also learned some new vocabulary and ways of doing things, he now sent a form to Li You, and began to report to him the results of the battle, "This battle killed more than 30,000 Jiannu, more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, captured more than 20,000, the specific number still needs to be verified, captured horses, grain and grass, ordnance, artillery, gunpowder is not counted, after this battle Jiannu is no longer able to harass my Ming." Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng can't help but have some regrets, if the grain and grass are more abundant, there are more soldiers and horses, and the back road is more stable, this time he will definitely be able to go straight to Shenyang, and he has refused to take the Dongyu who has plagued the Ming Dynasty for decades, but this time the consumption of the Ming army is also very large, although because of their victory, they can collect all the wounded and treat them wholeheartedly, so the soldiers who really sacrificed are much less than Jiannu, but it will take a while for them to recover from their injuries, and I am afraid that there will be no spare strength to go north in a short time.

What's more, traces of the Guanning army have been found nearby, and there is probably no way to completely exterminate Jiannu before they are completely solved and the soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town are re-gathered; Moreover, His Majesty has been away from Beijing for a long time, and the movements of those civil and military officials in Beijing are getting bigger and bigger, if they don't go back, who knows what chaos they can make; Therefore, I am afraid that the only way to completely solve Jiannu is to wait until next time, but next time there should be no need for His Majesty to carry out the imperial expedition again, maybe he can receive this glorious task, thinking of these Lu Xiangsheng calmed down again.

"The corpses of the sacrificed soldiers need to be collected in good health, and their names and places of origin should be counted, and the silver taels of the bereavement pension should be faithfully distributed to their families; Wounded soldiers should also be treated in a timely manner. Li You did not feel happy because of such a brilliant victory, but first paid attention to the soldiers who were injured and sacrificed, "It is best if we can return to the army, if not, we must also arrange a place for their good students, don't let these soldiers who sacrificed for the country have no support." ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, thank Your Majesty on behalf of these soldiers!" Lu Xiangsheng was also deeply moved when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and thanked him, who really paid attention to these ordinary soldiers in the previous emperors and important ministers of the Ming Dynasty? As long as this matter spreads, the army of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be more loyal to Li You.

"After this battle, Jiannu has nothing to worry about." The last time Jiannu entered the pass, the emperor Taiji searched all over the eight banners, plus the Mongols made up more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and now they first lost more than 20,000 people in the battle of Zunhua, and this time they lost more than 50,000 people, more than half of the soldiers and horses of Jiannu were annihilated by Li You, it can almost be said that the backbone of Jiannu was completely broken, and the remaining people were also frightened, at least for ten years, this group of people did not dare to harass the borders of Daming, and Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and now it is the Xiaoice River period, and the weather is even colder, Liaodong's output can't support the rest of the population at all, let alone expand the ethnic group, it is even more difficult to keep the current population, and Huang Taiji will have a headache for this problem for a long time in the future.

"Your Majesty is wise, but keeping Jiannu is a disaster after all, if it can be solved as soon as possible, it is better to solve it as soon as possible." Lu Xiangsheng naturally didn't know about the Xiaoice River Period, and in his opinion, if he left it alone, maybe Jiannu would slowly accumulate strength, and he would become Daming's henchman in the future.

"Well, I know about this matter, General Lu can stay in Ningyuan to guard, pay careful attention to the situation in Liaodong, and after the new source of troops is replenished, General Lu will lead the army to attack and take the head of the slave chief Hongtai for me." Although this battle is enjoyable, it may be difficult to experience such a thing next time, because now that Jiannu is no longer worried, the opponents that Li You will face in the future are probably those officials of the Ming Dynasty.

"The last general is grateful for Your Majesty's trust, and the last general will live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and will definitely dedicate the head of the slave chief to the king in the future." Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was not only overjoyed, although now Jiannu's strength has been greatly damaged, but the remaining troops are not easy to defeat, as long as he can achieve this goal, and even get the reward of knighthood, this is enough to make him famous for eternity, if he is still a civil official, then there will be such a good thing? Lu Xiangsheng not only felt glad about his decision to abandon literature and martial arts, but also thanked him again and again.

"Before returning to the capital, I will go to Phi Island to rehabilitate General Mao and move the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang Town to Ningyuan and other places." Mao Wenlong certainly has all kinds of problems, but his Dongjiang Town effectively restrained Jiannu, so that Jiannu did not dare to go south easily, this is an indisputable fact, it is indeed a pity to die in the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, so Li You will decide from this.

The conditions in Ningyuan and other places are much better than those of Phi Dao, if there is an opportunity to migrate, presumably the soldiers of Dongjiang Town have no reason to refuse, of course, in the future, Phi Dao will still have to stay in the army to defend it, but Li You does not plan to use all the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang Town; In the future, such as the Guanning Army, Dongjiang Town, and Xuanda Army, such armies with strong personal colors will have to be greatly adjusted, turning them from the private soldiers of the generals to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

"Phi Dao is now unstable, because of General Mao's affairs, Dongjiang Town has a lot of grievances against the imperial court, if Your Majesty is ......" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't go on without persuading a few words, with His Majesty's personal force and this group of strong soldiers under his command, where do you still need to worry about the soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town?

"It's okay, the killing of General Mao is Yuan Chonghuan's arbitrary act, but it is not my will, I have already sent someone to say it before, this time I will personally rehabilitate General Mao, severely punish Yuan Chonghuan, and set up a shrine on Phi Island to worship, Dongjiang will definitely obey." Li You has already arranged this.

"But Yuan Chonghuan is still in the Guanning Army," Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly reported Zhou Wei's discovery ......of the Guanning Army to Li You.

"Since they didn't show up during the day today, it means that they don't have the courage to rebel." During the day, if they took advantage of the fierce battle between Li You and Huang Taiji, Li You might have a headache, but now Li You doesn't have to worry about it at all, with their combat power, can they turn over any flowers?

In the early morning of the next day, the sentry guarding the camp saw a strange army slowly marching towards the camp from a distance, and hurriedly gathered his spirits and looked at it, and when he saw the movements of these people clearly, he immediately opened his mouth wide, and his face was full of surprise.
