Chapter 189: Liaodong's Great Victory
All possible gossip will be shattered by facts.
Early the next morning after Zhu Youzhen woke up, with the strong recovery ability of his body, except for a slightly hideous wound on his stomach, he couldn't tell from any other place that this was a man who had just walked around in front of the ghost gate.
The early morning music and ceremonies are all over.
Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the civil and military officials in the audience with a smile.
"I've heard that recently, there have been a lot of remarks about me in the capital..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, an official of the Ministry of Etiquette rushed out of the crowd, bowed and saluted, and said, "If you go back to the emperor, there is no such thing..."
"It's good if you don't... In the past few days, I have indeed occasionally felt cold, and I feel unwell and have been recuperating in the harem for a few days. During the period of illness, I was very relieved to see that you Aiqing was still sticking to her post! ”
.. As soon as this statement came out.
The civil and military officials bowed down one after another and said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor.."
"Oh? Where's the joy? ”
Huo Weihua, the secretary of the military department on the side, smiled and said, "Your Majesty! Liaodong has come to fold! ”
Zhu Youzhen was a little puzzled..
turned his head to look at Wang Chengen on the side, who expected that Wang Chengen just gave Zhu Youzhen a smile.
This made Zhu Youzhen a little puzzled.
"What does the excerpt say?"
Huo Weihua bowed, turned his head and gave a look to the soldier behind him, and he handed over a letter from behind Huo Weihua.
"The minister is the emperor, read this recital.."
Zhu Youzhen nodded: "Then I'm tired of Aiqing, I haven't been out of the palace for a few days, and I really don't know what news is coming from Liaodong."
"Liaodong Tianhu Army reported to the Beijing Division: 'The Great Tomorrow Tiger Army inherited the emperor's grace, obeyed the people's hearts, and made significant progress in the Houjin War, and recently led tens of thousands of Jiannu soldiers to attack outside the city of Fuzhou, killing countless enemies, and the West Route Army and the East Road Twin Army encircled the situation, Da Ke entrenched in Haizhou, Gaizhou's Huang Taiji and Duoduo Twin Divisions, successfully recovered Haizhou, Gaizhou Shuangcheng, and the Great Conquer Houjin Army, the thief Huang Taiji has led the remnants of the army to Jianzhou Wei direction to flee in a hurry! After the annihilation of the two wars, there were more than 76,000 soldiers of Jin Jiannu. There were more than 41,000 soldiers in the Han military camp, and a number of remnants of Korean, Japanese and Mongolian soldiers. This battle has almost defeated the forces of Houjin in Liaodong, and the troops of our Tianhu Army are recovering the surrounding cities... The crisis in Liaodong.. That's it! ’”
Zhu Youzhen's eyes were full of shock.
It was difficult to hide his excitement, and he said: "This news! True? ”
It's no wonder that Zhu Youzhen didn't believe it, it was really the fact that the Heavenly Tiger Army defeated Huang Taiji really made him a little unbelievable.
After all, this big victory came too fast!
"Back to Your Majesty! It's true! The various ministries in the imperial court have begun to prepare to send officials to Liaodong! ”
"Good! All right! ”
Zhu Youzhen stood up from the dragon chair, and got such good news when he first recovered from a serious illness.
The most important thing is that if the Tianhu Army's performance is not wrong, the magnificent record of destroying nearly 80,000 Jiannu in the double battle will not only greatly hurt the vitality of Houjin, but more importantly.
According to Zhu Youzhen's initial estimate, today's Houjin will be completely unavailable.
And the facts.
It didn't surprise him either.
Jianzhou Guard...
Huang Taiji sat on the so-called dragon chair, his eyes closed, and his heart was full of desolation.
He never dreamed that the cavalry of Houjin would be so vulnerable in the face of the muskets and artillery of the Ming Dynasty army, tens of thousands of people! That's tens of thousands! The city is broken, and the Ming army's attack is even more strange!
Originally, in his opinion, he should have returned from North Korea with an army, and he should have killed all sides.
Even if it is to recreate the glory of the Battle of Sarhu in one fell swoop, it is not impossible.
However, the attack of the Ming army this time gave him a vivid lesson.
"Come.. Come! ”
This defeat made Huang Taiji's face full of decadence.
"Great Khan! The minions are here! ”
Tightly following Huang Taiji in the big tent, it was not someone else, but Fan Wencheng.
For this arrangement, many of the Jianzhou courtiers were as if they had been humiliated, and even though they were defeated now, they should not leave only one Hanchen by the side of the Great Khan.
Fan Wencheng's face was equally ugly, but he still knelt on the ground.
"Mr. Fan.. In your opinion, why did Ben Khan lose this battle so quickly? Even Ben Khan knew that many Houjin cavalry had not even brought out the horses in the stables, and the city of Haizhou was so broken... If it's just Haizhou, forget it... The same is true of Gaizhou.."
Fan Wencheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, brushed his sleeves and said, "The slave thinks. Mainly Dordor-Baylor .. After the defeat in Fuzhou, instead of informing Haizhou at the first time, he tried to conceal the matter after fleeing back to Gaizhou in a hurry after the attack was blocked.
"Let's just say what is more important... Ben Khan is still holding up! ”
Huang Taiji closed his eyes slightly, as if he was unwilling to face this defeat.
"The point is... The Later Jin Dynasty now lacks as sharp firearms as the Ming Dynasty army, and this defeat is all to explain the sharpness of the Ming Army's firearms, which is a problem that my Later Jin army cannot ignore no matter what. Houjin is too far behind..."
For this.
Fan Wencheng felt that the current Huang Taiji did not cut himself on the spot.
It's all a miracle, after all, when Huang Taiji asked him if the firearms used by the Ming Dynasty army could stop the Houjin army.
What he Fan Wencheng said, however, is not to be worried.
However, things changed rapidly, and he also did not expect it, as Han Chen, who had been following Huang Taiji closely.
He also did not see the newly reconstructed artillery of the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, he had also seen Duoduo's recital after losing Jinzhou, which also mentioned the sharp artillery of the Ming Kingdom.
But Fan Wencheng thought at the time that this so-called artillery was just a step for Duoduo to find himself defeated, as the original courtier of the Ming Dynasty, how could he not know how long the artillery technology of the Ming Dynasty had not changed.
As for the time when the news reached his hands, it was written in the battle report that the new artillery had a range of several miles and could fire different artillery ammunition.
At that time, Fan Wencheng thought.
It is by no means something that can be developed in just a few years by the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the artillery is still everywhere.
As long as it is the army of the Heavenly Tiger Army, there are quite a few of them, and there are hundreds of them attacking Jinzhou.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt, Fan Wencheng decisively ignored the news, but when he saw it with his own eyes!
The sincere fear in his heart made him almost collapse on the ground.
Gaizhou.. Haizhou, all broken by this cannon!
Today's Houjin... Is there still a chance? This question is not only Fan Wencheng's inner question, but also what Huang Taiji on the side thinks!
