After a pillar of incense, the three of Hutongge were killed on the spot, and only two or three hundred horsemen in the rear of the 1,500 cavalry fled the battlefield, while Niu Lu, a Han man on the other side, also chose to surrender after seeing the defeat of the cavalry.

Soon, Tang Xiangjin led his soldiers and horses into the Gaizhou Acropolis.

…

"Governor, the results of the battle have been counted."

Wang Lian came to Tang Xiangjin's side: "This time eight hundred and twenty-three enemies were killed, and one thousand five hundred and fifty-two were captured, of which one hundred and twenty-one were wounded, most of whom were Han Chinese. ”

Hearing Wang Lian's report, Tang Xiangjin was not surprised, there were not many people who were really killed on the battlefield, most of them were injured, but there were rules on the battlefield, that is, only prisoners were slightly injured, and those who were seriously injured were cleared when they cleaned up the battlefield.

The main reason was to avoid the consumption of medicine in the army on these prisoners, and the seriously injured prisoners could not be saved, causing the plague to spread.

Wang Lian continued: "In addition to the prisoners, we have also captured more than 300 intact war horses, more than 200 wounded war horses, and now they have been treated. ”

"Let the scouts in the army familiarize themselves with the war horses."

Hearing this, Tang Xiangjin said: "Then let the detectives closely monitor the movements of the Jurchens." ”

Although I don't think that the Jurchens are still thinking about coming to them to find trouble, but they have to guard against it, after all, the reason why the Jurchens have suffered such heavy losses is mainly because Su Hao let Yuan Chonghuan's 200,000 army go north, and it is difficult to say whether the Jurchens will be annoyed and angry.

After a pause, Tang Xiangjin continued: "In addition, let those captured Jurchens and Mongols be escorted back to Shandong, and ask Your Majesty to send them down." ”

Those Han people are okay, either the captured Ming army, or the original people from Liaodong, just let them continue to cultivate, anyway, cover a large area of land around Zhouwei, Fuzhou Wei, and Jinzhouwei.

】

Before the Jurchens captured Liaodong, most of the people of Liaodong either fled back to the Guannei or fled to the mountains, where there was a large area of borderless land.

And those Jurchens and Mongols are not good at farming, and there is no advantage at all in staying here, but it is a hidden danger, if the Jurchens come to attack, it is very likely that there will be a defection.

"In addition, let people immediately prepare materials to defend the city."

In the end, Tang Xiangjin commanded again.

…

On the other side, the two or three hundred Houjin cavalry who fled from Gaizhou Wei fled to Haizhou Acropolis one after another.

"It was really the Ming army who captured the Acropolis of Gaizhou?"

In the lobby of the Acropolis, Gushan Ezhen, who was in charge of guarding the Acropolis of Haizhou, looked at a Jurchen cavalry who had fled back with a gloomy expression.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but he doesn't think that now the Ming army still has the leisure and elegance to come to Liaodong to stir up the wind and rain, those ordinary Niu Lu really don't know, he knows very well, now all the Baylors on the side of Shenyang City have been dispatched, with more than 10,000 Eight Banners elite into the Ming Dynasty.

The current Ming army is too late to enter the Guanqin King, how can it suddenly appear in Gaizhouwei, and it is still 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses.

"Lord Gushan, those people are wearing the armor of the Ming army."

The cavalry hurriedly replied.

"Let's go down."

Hearing this, Gan Jitai waved his hand.

"Gushan-sama, what should I do?"

After the cavalry retreated, Niu Lu Ezhen Fu Cha hurriedly asked, this Haizhou Acropolis and Gaizhou Acropolis both belong to the jurisdiction of Ganjitai, but the location of the Haizhou Acropolis is more important, so Ganjitai has always been stationed in the Haizhou Acropolis.

"What do you think?"

Gan Jitai didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, this matter is too complicated, and he can't figure it out.

What was the Ming army's sudden attack on the Gaizhou Acropolis for?

If it was to relieve the siege of Guannei, then it shouldn't just be a shot at the Gaizhou Acropolis, even the Ming army on Ning Yuanwei's side should all be dispatched, but there was no movement on Ning Yuanwei's side at all, which made him scratch his head.

Once this is the Ming army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, then he will leave the Haizhou Acropolis, and this Haizhou Acropolis will most likely be recaptured by the Ming army.

This is not an impossible thing, although it is difficult for a large number of Ming troops to hide from the reconnaissance cavalry, but if it is a few elite men and horses of three or five hundred people, it is still very possible to hide from the reconnaissance cavalry, once the Haizhou Acropolis and Gaizhou Acropolis are recaptured, then it will be difficult to take it back.

"Lord Gushan, I think we should send someone back to report to the Great Khan, and let the Great Khan send some more people over, otherwise it will be difficult to recapture the Gaizhou Acropolis with our troops here."

Another Niu Lu Ezhen Hu Hu said that there were only more than 3,000 people on their side, and more than 1,000 of them were Han Chinese, and it was impossible to recapture the Gaizhou Acropolis.

"I'll send someone back."

Gan Jitai waved his hand and said: "Now send additional people to patrol the perimeter of Haizhou Wei and be on strict alert, and send additional spies to Gaizhou Acropolis to find out where those Ming troops came from." ”

Hu Hu and the others didn't know that now Huang Taiji and the rest of Baylor had entered the customs, even if it was reported, it would be useless, only after Huang Taiji and they came back, it was possible to send troops to take back the Gaizhou Acropolis.

………

At this time, outside Shenyang City, Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang City with the soldiers and horses who escaped from the Guannei.

As soon as he arrived in Shenyang City, Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo and other Baylor led their troops to leave, no one paid attention to Huang Taiji, this time the entry was advocated by Huang Taiji, and now the losses are heavy, Huang Taiji should naturally pay the price for this, not to mention anything else, Huang Taiji, the position of the Great Khan, is unstable.

Looking at the departing Dai Shan and the others, Huang Taiji's heart sank, although he had already expected this situation, but Dai Shan's actions were so simple that he still felt great pressure.

If it is not handled well this time, I am afraid that his position will not be guaranteed, not only the position of the Great Khan, but he may not even be able to keep the white flag in his hand.

………

The capital city of Jinan.

In the Zichen Palace, Su Hao is practicing with his eyes closed, and the three natal paper people are dealing with all kinds of messy government affairs on the side, and it is not an easy thing to be the emperor, especially the founding emperor, there are a lot of messy things.

Although there is the Governor's Office and the Cabinet of the Five Armed Forces, some small things do not need to bother him, but this does not mean that he can relax, on the contrary, he has to be more vigilant.

The main reason for this is because his throne is not right, just like Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe at the beginning, he became the emperor by rebellion, which also gave others a head, after all, he can be the emperor, so why can't the generals under his command.

Don't worry about anything, Zhu Yuanzhang's throne is much more correct than him, but in the early Ming Dynasty, there were not many people who tried to rebel, some people may say that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was paving the way for Emperor Jianwen, but if it was really just to pave the way, why should Zhu Yuanzhang involve tens of thousands of people, as long as those who took the lead were killed, what was the rest.

And his throne is far worse than Zhu Yuanzhang, if you don't pay attention to it, and when there is chaos, it will be too late, the current Great Qi is less than eleven compared to the Ming Dynasty, if there is internal strife again, then there is no need to fight, raise the white flag and surrender.

After a long time, Su Hao slowly collected his work, walked to the corridor, and looked at the northeast direction, the development of Shandong has reached the limit, when he took over Yanzhou Mansion, he also took the opportunity to take over the land of Lu Wangfu and the Kong family, in addition to a small part of the reward of the generals, but also took out a part of the recruitment of 60,000 recruits.

However, now the number of troops under his command has reached 260,000, and these 260,000 troops are the limit of what he can support, 260,000 soldiers, and the annual consumption of grain is more than 2 million stones, and the salary is more than 4 million taels, plus civil and military officials and other expenses, which almost squeezes out the entire Shandong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the army is reckless.

But fortunately, he is quite strict with the officials who exploit the people, although the tax is not light, but compared with the endless variety of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the Ming Dynasty, the people's life is much better, but it is also to the limit, and if the army is conscripted again, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

And Daming's side has now negotiated peace, and he can't do it to Daming first, he still has to take advantage of the five years to develop well, train more masters, and recruit masters from all over the world, at least five years later, he has the power to face Daming.

So there are only two directions he can plan now, one is Liaodong, the land in Liaodong is not small, and it is also fertile, and if he takes that side, he has quite a big granary, followed by maritime trade, Dongying and North Korea are very close to Shandong, and he has a great advantage in maritime trade.

For this reason, he invested nearly 300,000 taels of silver to build sea ships, and now the sea ships of Daming navigation are Dafu ships, the cost of one is about 1,500 taels, most of his current shipwrights are from Shandong, and a small part is Liao Qing recruited from Guangdong and Fujian at a high price.

In fact, what he wanted to build was the big treasure ship when Zheng He went to the West, but unfortunately he didn't have that technology, and the cost was not something he could afford now, according to what those shipwrights said, to build such a big ship, it would cost at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver.

As for steel giants or railway trains, he recruited a lot of Mo family children, and secretly established a scientific research institute, although there is now a prototype of a steam engine, but unfortunately the ironmaking capacity of this era is indescribable, and if you want to build a steel giant, there is no hope in ten years, so he temporarily sealed the technology of the steam engine.

Of course, this reason is only secondary, as the so-called technology is not enough, manpower to make up, a hundred people are not enough, a thousand people, a thousand people are not enough, ten thousand, thirty or twenty thousand people, he can still afford to raise, can always smelt enough steel.

The main reason why he sealed the steam engine technology was that there was a way of cultivation in this world, and he didn't dare to guarantee that if the way of science and technology was developed, there would be no major changes.

Because the process of researching the steam engine was too smooth, so smooth that he felt incredible, he only mentioned an idea, just a steam idea, and as a result, those Mo family disciples took less than three months to build a prototype, although some Mo family techniques were used, but the deep meaning contained in it was enough to make people shudder.

It's obviously such a simple thing, but this world has not developed the way of science and technology for thousands of years, which is completely unreasonable, and it can be said that it was limited by technology in the previous life, but in this era of cultivation, technology is not a problem at all, and those children of the Mo family can even build wooden birds flying in the sky, let alone a steam engine.

But it just didn't make it, as if there was an invisible force influencing everyone's thinking, making them ignore the way of science and technology.

It is precisely for this reason that he chose to temporarily seal, he is not capable of dealing with this kind of thing now, if it causes any big changes, he, the initiator, will definitely be the first to be unlucky.

However, this does not mean that he will never develop the way of science and technology, but if he wants to develop, he must have enough confidence to deal with big changes.

After all, people who can invisibly influence the whole world, this ability is too terrifying, this is by no means something that a cultivator can do, not even a god, because he has also seen many gods, no one has this ability, according to his guess, if you want to do this kind of thing, there may only be the legendary Heavenly Dao.
