Chapter 175: Fu Youde's Death

Fu Youde's ability, Ye Shen knows. Even in this situation, he was worried that Fu Youde would turn the tables, and he did not continue to attack at all. Rather, it tightened the shackles little by little from the periphery and shrunk the space for the activities of the Southern Army.

If you want to reduce the casualties as much as possible, you can destroy the Southern Army.

And Fu Youde is a person who is waiting to be killed.

In the last three days, Fu Youde personally went into battle and launched countless attacks.

But in the face of the heavy artillery transferred by Ye Shen, it was all useless.

By the third day, the Southern army began to surrender en masse.

After all, it was a civil war, and perhaps a considerable number of people in the southern army were willing to die for Fu Youde. But more soldiers did not sacrifice their lives for the matter of the prince seizing the throne.

Fu Youde insisted until this time, which was already quite good.

In the end, Fu Youde ignited the gunpowder himself. With a bang, ended his life.

Ye Shen personally went to the place where Fu Youde exploded, and only saw a big crater. Nothing else was seen.

Not even a single intact corpse is gone.

Ye Shen didn't feel happy, but had a sentimentality, and he asked Fu Youde to build a clothed mound. This is also the last thing Ye Shen can do for Fu Youde.

The end of the war does not mean that the matter in Ye Shen's hands is over.

On the contrary, Ye Shen had countless things to deal with in his hands.

I don't even have the heart to think about a dead man.

First of all, there are problems on the battlefield that need to be dealt with.

In this battle, the Northern Army suffered heavy casualties, and two armies were disabled. If you want to restore the establishment, it will take at least one or two months, and this is still the case that some militia groups have experienced battlefield fighting, and there are many good seedlings among them, which can be directly supplemented in the army.

There were even more wounded.

There were even more wounded than in the last Hejian battle, so Ye Shen had to ask for help from the rear, and almost asked to call all the Langzhong in the rear.

Secondly, there are captives.

This time, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were captured.

With so many people, it is also a very difficult task.

After all, there are all kinds of people in this, ordinary people, just let them go. When these people return home, they will not oppose the court. It can even spread the news of the victory. Give greater deterrence to the southern provinces and counties.

But some of these soldiers are not easy to say.

Many of these people are old people who follow the Fu family. There have even been cases of assassination of generals.

It is to avenge Fu Youde.

It can be seen that Fu Youde is still very popular.

This is a matter of careful screening.

Some need to be taken into custody. Wait until the world is too peaceful to release it. Some of them can be directly incorporated into the army after being inspected.

After all, this Southern army was not like the others. As an all-firearms army, in terms of training regulations, it is almost the same as the Northern Army Forbidden Army, and many places on both sides are the same, if these soldiers are willing to serve the imperial court, they can directly organize and train an army.

It's the help of going south.

However, these things are not something that Ye Shen can decide. Can only be escalated.

Also, some strange things. For example, there are a lot of powder kegs buried on Guangwu Mountain, and once the Northern Army is stationed on Guangwu Mountain, it will inevitably pay a heavy price. It's just that such a trap has come to naught.

But it still made Ye Shen break out in a cold sweat.

Although it is difficult to affect the overall situation with this kind of small trick, it is still possible to take the lives of some people.

Ye Shen should also pay more attention.

But in any case, this Guangwu victory. Soon the news spread.

The first thing to be affected was Luoyang City.

Luoyang City was the key point of stubborn resistance in this war, and Ye Shen did not temporarily take some military prisoners, all of which were sent to Luoyang City.

Seeing this, Sheng Yong didn't say anything. But the temperament has changed dramatically.

From the beginning, Sheng Yong knew that Fu Youde's chances of winning were not great, but he had to send an arrow on the string. A lot of things you can't do if you want to, unlike just doing it.

But after the bad news.

Still a heavy blow to the state of Sheng Yong.

But Sheng Yong quickly adjusted, arrested in Luoyang City, and beheaded dozens of people who wanted to surrender. Suppressed the position.

Although the morale in Luoyang City is a little low, it is almost impossible to expect Luoyang City to surrender without a fight.

In this way, Jin Shengyu, Song Sheng, and Zhao Yong looked at each other under Luoyang.

Luoyang is a fortified city.

Coupled with Sheng Yong's management, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. It's an iron city, and it's not easy to take it, and now the war is nearing its end. The cavalry sent by Ye Shen went all the way south, except for a few Dacheng in Kaifeng Shangqiu, and all other places were all looking at the wind.

Everyone is envious, waiting for the south to make meritorious contributions, and no one wants to fight Luoyang City here.

After all, the credit is as if it was picked up. This may not be the case in the future.

But in the end, it can only be reported to the imperial court, how to deal with it.

-------

He Xi had just received the news that Fu Youde had died in battle. was summoned by Zhu Xiongying.

He Xi came to the palace and looked at Zhu Xiongying's expression was very complicated, Zhu Xiongying seemed to be asking He Xi, and as if he was asking himself, "Yingguo Gong, just like this?"

Zhu Xiongying's feelings for Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, are very complicated. Before the split between the north and the south, Fu Youde was actually not biased towards Zhu Yunwen, and he also had contact with Zhu Xiongying. When Zhu Xiongying was a teenager, he also regarded this as an elder.

But under the change of the situation, it has become a great enemy of life and death.

It has also become Zhu Xiongying's nightmare.

Many times, Zhu Xiongying dreamed at night that he was attacked by Fu Youde into the city of Beijing, pressed to Nanjing, and sentenced to Ming Zheng.

If there is anyone in the world who wants Fu Youde to die the most, then Zhu Xiongying must be one of them, but now Fu Youde is dead and does not exist. Zhu Xiongying was happy, but there was a feeling that he couldn't explain clearly.

This very complicated feeling made Zhu Xiongying not know how to say it.

He even doubted whether Fu Youde's death was true.

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, the death of the Duke of Yingguo was the rebellion of the Southern Dynasty, which killed the ministers of the pillar of the country left by Taizu, and the ministers asked Your Majesty to issue an order to send someone to repair the tomb of the Duke of Yingguo."

When Zhu Xiongying heard this, he said, "Yes. Right. Yes."

Many things are done for the dead, for the living.

The grievances and entanglements between He Xi and Fu Youde, He Xi didn't care in the first place, don't say that Fu Youde is dead, that is, Fu Youde is not dead and surrendered. He Xi didn't think it was a big deal.

However, there are many things that can be used to make use of them.

After all, Fu Youde is a veteran of the Hongwu period, and he has an unusual prestige in the world, and Fu Youde's death in battle has a different impact on the world. It was even greater than the collapse of the Yellow River defense line and the fall of the northwest.

After all, many people may not know the importance of these places, and they don't know who Fu Youde is?

Especially some southerners.

Fu Youde's death, Wei has already been established. Now let these people see the human touch of the court. Giving Fu Youde a little grief will not affect the rule of the imperial court over the locality, nor will it affect the front-line combat department, let alone the internal structure of the imperial court.

But I can give Nanjing Xungui some thoughts.

Fu Youde went against them like this, and the Beijing court also gave a lenient result, not to mention them?

After all, Nanjing and Beijing are all one family, and the North and South are all one Ming.

Originally, you have me, and I have you. In the past, the strength and weakness were clear, and many people remained on the sidelines, but now it is decided that the war in the world is over. It's time to use other means to reduce some of the resistance to the south.

Compared with these, Fu Youde's death, with some arrangements after his death,

It's already a small thing among small things.

He Xi said, "Your Majesty, are you ready to tour south? There are a lot of things in the south right now, and we have to tour the south to deal with them."

Zhu Xiongying said, "It's ready. Feel free to go. However, I don't know what my uncle's arrangements are for the future?"

He Xi pondered for a while and said, "There's nothing to say about this, the original plan remains the same, and it depends on how the front line fights. If you play well, you will enter Nanjing this year, and if you can't beat it, you will go again next year. But Your Majesty is going to get busy."

The emperor is still very useful as a signboard. Especially on this occasion of buying people's hearts.
