Thinking of this, Chongzhen couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back to Nanjing.

This time when he went back, Chongzhen was determined to pay close attention to the industrialization of the steam engine, and he was not ready to leave Nanjing before the industrialization of the steam engine.

Because now all the problems are stuck in the industrialization of the steam engine.

Only the large-scale replacement of manual work by steam power can promote the qualitative leap of Daming's industry and usher in the real industrial revolution, that is, the first industrial revolution.

So this time I went back and had to solve the problem of the steam engine.

However, before going back, we must first deal with the aftermath of Liaodong.

At that moment, Chongzhen said again: "Youzhen, after the defeat of the Hunhe River, Jiannu will definitely not give up, because they can't afford the consequences of the loss of Liaodong, if nothing else, Jiannu will definitely make a comeback, but this time there is no need to fight with Jiannu in the field, you can retreat to Gaizhouwei, and fight a war of attrition with Jiannu with the preset fortifications of Gaizhouwei." ”

The main purpose of this battle of the Hunhe River is to build confidence, and now that this goal has been achieved, and more than half of the 25,000 troops who participated in the battle were killed or wounded, so at this time, they could no longer risk fighting with Jiannu.

At this time, it was wisest to retreat to Gaizhou and fight a war of attrition with Jiannu.

Zheng Sen was a little worried: "Shengshang, if our army retreats to Gaizhou, will Jiannu give up fighting with our army, but only station troops in Shenyang, Liaoyang and Haizhou?" After all, the main reason why Jiannu sent troops to Liaodong this time was to ensure the safety of the flanks of the Horqin Mongols, and the troops stationed in Shenyang, Liaoyang and Haizhou could also achieve their goals. ”

Xu Yingwei said: "If our army retreats directly to Gaizhou Wei before, Jiannu will most likely only confront our army in Shenyang, Liaoyang or Haizhou, but after the defeat of the Hunhe River, it will inevitably be difficult to ride a tiger, if we can't fight another battle to get back to the field, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to explain in all aspects, and the face will not be able to pass, and it is easy to lose the morale of the army." ”

"The confrontation is nothing." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Wait until the reinforcements arrive, wait until the wounded soldiers heal and return to the team, and wait until the main force of Jiannu returns to Shanhaiguan, and then you can send troops from Haizhouwei, Liaoyang, and Shenyang all the way over. ”

"Understood." Zheng Sen was finally convinced.

The heart said that it was really clever to fight a war of attrition with Jiannu in Liaodong.

Chongzhen said again: "Before leaving, I have two more good news for you. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yingwei and Zheng Sen suddenly perked up, and asked in unison: "Shengshang, but Brother Wanheng also won the battle at Dagukou?" ”

"That's right." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Taking advantage of Jiannu's mindset that our army would only defend and dare not attack, Jian Heng unexpectedly led an infantry brigade to attack the newcomer Jiannu at night, killing more than 2,000 Jiannu in one fell swoop!"

After a pause, he said: "This was a few days ago, because the North Sea was half frozen and not frozen, so the news couldn't come, and the North Sea was frozen a few days ago, so the news came." ”

"Great." Xu Yingwei said with a smile, "He is worthy of being Brother Wanheng, and he will always be a model for us." ”

"Youzhen, you are humble, the results of the victory in the Hunhe River are much better than the records achieved by Wanheng in Dagukou, and now you Xu Yingwei are the model for all the scholars." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"The minister is terrified." Xu Yingwei arched his hand and asked, "Holy Lord, what is the other good news?" ”

"The other good news is that the Sichuan side has also won the battle." The corners of Chongzhen's mouth bloomed with an inexplicable color, "In one fell swoop, I pacified the four prefectures of Zhenxiong, Wusa, Gulin and Xuzhou, and also beheaded Yuan Tao." ”

I really didn't expect this, I really underestimated Li Xiangjun before.

At the beginning, Chongzhen only planned to train Li Xiangjun as the captain of the honor guard.

Later, due to Qin Liangyu's intervention, Li Xiangjun really became a military general.

But even if Li Xiangjun really became a military general, Chongzhen didn't have any expectations for her.

Do you think, a famous prostitute from a Qinglou, expecting her to transform into a celebrity? Play it.

However, the reality gave Chongzhen a slap in the face, Li Xiangjun really showed a famous general in Sichuan.

In this battle to recover Zhenxiong, Wusa, Gulin and Xuzhou, Li Xiangjun's performance was really impressive, and Chongzhen's first reaction after receiving the battle report was to suspect that Qin Liangyu had falsely reported his achievements.

Because of Li Xiangjun's battle, the fight was really beautiful.

Specifically, after Qin Liangyu's army retreated to Chongqing Mansion, Li Xiangjun's 20,000 partial divisions did not withdraw from Zunyi Mansion, nor did they passively defend, but deployed 15,000 town soldiers along the east bank of Chishui to prevent Yuan Tao's rebels from entering the territory of Zunyi Mansion, and then led the remaining 5,000 troops deep into the Wumeng Mountains.

These 5,000 troops were not native soldiers from western Hunan and Hubei, but all female soldiers recruited in Nanjing.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Xiangjun's reputation, the affinity of female soldiers, and Juntian's national policy, Li Xiangjun miraculously won the support of most of the natives in the Wumeng Mountains.

With the support of the local people, everything fell into place.

Li Xiangjun didn't take much effort, he easily pacified the Han officials and local officials in Zhenxiong, Wusa and Gulin Prefecture, and then led 5,000 female soldiers plus 30,000 native soldiers to climb over the Wumeng Mountain, which was more than 2,000 meters high, and suddenly appeared behind Yuan Tao's rebels.

There are some things that Chongzhen really doesn't want to compare, but forces him to compare.

Hua Xia led 5,000 new troops armed with flintlock pistols to quell the rebellion in Guangxi, but until now nothing has been accomplished.

Li Xiangjun relied on 5,000 female soldiers to pacify the four mansions without blood, annihilated Yuan Tao's more than 30,000 rebels in one fell swoop, and even killed Yuan Tao in the chaos.

Xu Yingwei was stunned and said: "Didn't the 100,000 recruits who went to Sichuan have already returned to Huguang?" And the more than 100,000 town soldiers of Qin Butang have also withdrawn to eastern Sichuan, who is the one who pacified the four prefectures of Zhenxiong? ”

Zheng Sen then asked, "Could it be Concubine Li's 20,000 partial teacher?" ”

"To be more precise, it's Concubine Li's five thousand female soldiers." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"What? 5,000 female soldiers? Xu Yingwei and Zheng Sen's eyes widened, which they really didn't expect.

"How, didn't expect that?" Chongzhen muttered, "Concubine Li pacified Zhenxiong, Wusa, Gulin and Xuzhou with only 5,000 female soldiers, and also annihilated Yuan Tao's 30,000 rebels and beheaded Yuan Tao in one fell swoop. ”

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "The Tang newspaper said that Yuan Tao was beaten to death by Concubine Li with a handcuff, I don't believe it, this must be the loyal marquis in order to show merit to Concubine Li, so he deliberately said so, but I won't debunk it." ”

After a long time, Xu Yingwei muttered and said: "Holy Lord, the ministers really didn't expect Concubine Li to have such a strategy, which really made us and other men with eyebrows ashamed. ”

Zheng Sen was also embarrassed: "The ministers are not as good as Concubine Li." ”

"Huh." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Concubine Li did a good job in eastern Sichuan, but you don't have to be ashamed of this, how can Yuan Taowu and the likes of Dading compare with Jiannu?" ”

"I'm telling you this just to let you both know."

"At present, the momentum of my Ming Dynasty is good, not only the prosperity of all industries in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the military victory."

After a pause, Chongzhen said aloud: "The so-called transportation of heaven and earth is the same force, and the transportation of heroes is not free, so it can be seen that the fortune of this country has returned to my Daming, so you don't have too much pressure." ”

……

Because the DPRK was closer to Liaodong, it first received the good news of the victory on the Hunhe River.

The king of Joseon, Li Liang, has been terminally ill and has no way to go to the court, so during this period of time, the government has been ruled by the prince of Linping, Li Liang? Broker.

Plum? After receiving the good news from Liaodong, he sent a horse to Incheon to report to Zhu Cijiong, and at the same time personally came to Gyeongbokgung Palace to meet Li Liang.

"Hunhe victory?"

"Kill more than 20,000 Jiannu?"

Li Kun's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.

Plum? nodded and said: "This matter should be true, if it is a beheading of two hundred or two thousand, it is still possible that the chief general of the Ming army in Liaodong forged it, but no one dares to forge it if it is beheaded for more than 20,000 levels." ”

"Well, your analysis is reasonable, and this matter should be credible." Li Liang expressed his approval.

"Actually, it makes sense." Plum? said, "Father, do you still remember the Ming and Qing Dynasty battles outside the Changyi Gate that day?" The most elite 3,000 Bayala soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were completely annihilated by the 3,000 new troops of the Ming Dynasty! As far as Erchen knows, there are hundreds of thousands of new troops like this in the Ming Dynasty, at least the tens of thousands of new troops in Liaodong are not under the 3,000 new troops led by King Ding. ”

"It's like a different world, and it's really like a different world." Li Wei shook his head and said abruptly, "Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is going to reproduce the prosperity of the Wanli period?" When his father was young, the Ming army that entered the DPRK was so brave and good at fighting. ”

Plum? Shaking his head and saying: "Father, the sons have also read the historical materials of the Renchen War, and think that the Ming army in the Wanli period is probably not as far as the Ming army today, because the Ming army in the Wanli period is strong, but the soldiers are fierce, and its generals are more greedy and despicable, and now the Ming army is not only the soldiers are not afraid of death, and most of its generals are sacrificed for the country. ”

"Taxi? You almost forgot about your father if you didn't talk about it. Li Liang nodded and said, "The three thousand troops led by King Ding, and its generals are all shirt-shirted scholars. ”

"My father doesn't know it, but the commander of the army is really powerful." Plum? As he spoke, he recalled the Battle of Shengjing.

"Under the support of the belief of protecting the well-dressed Confucian temples of the Han family, these scholars truly forgot to die, and their courage to die was far above that of ordinary martial artists, and this must be the key to the Ming army's victory over the Hunhe River."

"I understand, Emperor Chongzhen is going to create another three hundred years of national fortune for the Ming Dynasty." Li Qi said, "Son, Mencius Liang Hui Wang Youyun, only the wise man can use small things to make a big deal, so the prince is the whole thing, Gou Jian Wu, now the Ming Dynasty is thriving, and it is not impossible to reproduce Wanli and even Yongle Shengshi, so I must be humble in North Korea." ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their fathers." Plum? Bow to the ground.
