"In this battle, our army lost a total of 7,415 people and seriously wounded, including ......"

When reporting the number of casualties of the Liaodong Army, Ning Wanme, who has always been open-minded and hearty, also had an unusually low voice.

The congregation will be silent.

The number of troops invested in this battle reached an unprecedented number of hundreds of thousands, and the casualties reached more than 20,000.

It was the largest casualty since Yang Chengying commanded Liaodong Town.

This is already the result of being fully prepared and after the bloody battles of all armies.

It can be seen how terrible the real military strength of Houjin is.

"Although our army has suffered many casualties, its strategic goal has been achieved."

Yang Chengying said: "Our next step is to go straight to Shenyang and completely destroy the most important foundation of the Tartars. ”

The generals listened in silence.

Yang Chengying took a long breath: "Supplement the auxiliary soldiers with the soldiers, and supplement the auxiliary soldiers with the new soldiers, rest for fifteen days, and then go north to achieve the greatest victory." ”

"Yes, Jinglu." The generals stood up, clasped their fists in salute, and silently retreated.

At this time, it is superfluous to say anything.

Only victory is the best placebo.

After the discussion, Yang Chengying left Ning Wan and Bao Chengxian behind.

Bao Cheng was first ordered to go north to deal with rewards and punishments.

"General Bao, the rewards and punishments should have been collected in full, and the rewards and punishments will be given when the battle is over."

Yang Chengying said in a deep voice.

"After strategy, our army has won such a big victory, can it be ......?"

Bao Chengxian saw so many dead and wounded, and he was a little unbearable about the possible punishment of the living.

"When fighting in a large corps, discipline must be strict!"

Yang Chengying didn't want to refuse: "No matter when, you must ensure that a knife is internal and a knife is external, otherwise the end of victory is the beginning of defeat." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely get this done."

Bao Chengxian also understands that he can't make a big move at this time: "The subordinates will secretly visit and will not affect the operation of the army." ”

"Hmm." Yang Chengying nodded.

He changed the topic and said to Ning Wan: "Mr. Ning, it seems that our plan is going to implement the second set. ”

"After a little rest, I'll go to Kong Youde and explain it to him in detail."

Ning Wan, I understand what Yang Chengying wants him to do, and he agreed very simply.

"Alright, let's go our separate ways."

Yang Chengying got up.

After sending Ning Wan and Bao Cheng away, Yang Chengying came to the place where Jin Guoqi stopped under the guidance of Cao Bianjiao.

Due to the fact that it was not appropriate to hold a public funeral during the conquest of the army, only a few conjuring oil lamps were lit in the room where the coffin was stopped.

Under the dim light, Jin Guofeng tied a white silk around his waist and knelt in front of the coffin in a daze.

Waving his hand to signal Cao Bianjiao to retreat, Yang Chengying slowly walked to Jin Guoqi's coffin and respectfully gave three salutes.

Jin Guofeng is Jin Guoqi's younger brother, and the age difference between the brothers is a little big.

"Huh?"

Jin Guofeng only found that someone had entered the room at this time, raised his head mechanically, and after seeing the person clearly, he hurriedly prepared to get up and salute, "See the ...... of the scriptures"

"Guofeng doesn't have to be polite."

Yang Chengying reached out and lightly pressed Jin Guofeng's shoulder, stopping his movements, "I'm just here to see General Jin and you." ”

"After a while, this is my brother's last battle, and he can retire after the fight. Didn't expect ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Guofeng couldn't stop crying.

"I knew he could have done otherwise, but he came anyway."

Yang Chengying patted Jin Guofeng's shoulder and sighed abruptly: "Hey! Guofeng, don't be too sad. When the war is over, I will put the tablet of Guoqi in the Shigu Temple and accept the incense of the world forever. ”

"After a while, there will be a reluctant invitation at the end."

"Say it."

"Please bury the elder brother of the last general here, let him be with the soldiers who died together, the eldest husband sleeps in the green mountains at night, and is immortal with his comrades, which is the pleasure of the warriors."

"Got it figured?"

"Please general!"

"Well, I promise you." Yang Chengying nodded.

Due to the lack of embalming technology, it is impossible to transport so many fallen soldiers back.

It can only be buried nearby.

However, the generals of the high ranks were escorted back to their "home" and returned to their roots.

There will also be a grand funeral.

This is a kind of "reward" for the generals.

Jin Guofeng took the initiative to give up, which is commendable.

On October 5, the Liaodong Army began to rest and recuperate on the spot to replenish supplies.

That's a big job.

It is initially estimated that it will take half a month to complete the rest and recuperation of various departments, and then move north.

On the one hand, it is subject to the traffic conditions of ancient times.

On the other hand, Yang Chengying did not know that Huang Taiji had passed away at this time.

There was a dead silence in the city of Shenyang.

In the mourning hall, except for a few such as Dai Shan, the Houjin generals all wore linen and filial piety.

Because in the coffin lies the Houjin Khan - Huang Taiji.

After Huang Taiji was assassinated by Dolgon, he disguised himself as having a sudden angina pectoris and died.

Similar to the historical situation, there were no last words left during his lifetime, who would inherit the throne.

For a while, the atmosphere in the mourning hall was a little strange.

"The unfortunate death of the Great Khan is the misfortune of the Dajin Kingdom. But the enemy army is about to be overwhelmed, and the khanate cannot be left empty. ”

Dai Shan was on crutches, and his face was sad: "All of you here are Baylor of the Dajin Kingdom, who do you recommend to be the Great Khan!" ”

was already in poor health, and the pain of losing a child made Dai Shan look even more haggard.

However, although the two red flags under his command suffered heavy losses, they were still an important force in the Dajin Kingdom.

In addition, he is old and respectable, so he should be the host.

Shuo Cheng stole a glance at Dolgon, saw that he was as steady as Mount Tai, and thought to himself that this was a good opportunity for himself.

He stood up: "The Dajin Kingdom is in the autumn of critical survival, and it needs a long monarch. Dorgon was smart and wise, and he was up to the task. ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers dangling blades appeared outside the mourning hall.

Led by Sony and Aobai.

"Han rules, the father dies and the son succeeds!"

Ao Bai shouted in his characteristic loud voice: "Now that the Great Khan has passed away, he should be appointed as a son of the Great Khan, not a brother." ”

"We are Jurchens, not Han Chinese." Shuo retorted.

"But the Great Khan established six ministries and issued laws, and implemented the rules of the Han people."

Ao Bai thought clearly: "What? As soon as the Great Khan died, you will come the other way around! ”

"Say less!" Yue Zhen got up, "Sonny and Ao Bai will step back for me, this is not a school field, so you don't need to dance with knives and guns." ”

Sonny and Aobai didn't dare to confront each other directly, so they had to put away the knife, but refused to leave.

Shuo Zhi was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Yue Zhen.

"Uncle Fourteen, tell me yourself, what should I do?" Yue Zhi looked at Dolgon.

As a party, Dorgon had been silent until now.

Hearing Yue Zhi's question, Dolgon said, "I also think that in this time of crisis, we should not attack each other. He made Haug Khan, and he led us against strong enemies. ”

When Hauge heard this, his face was solemn.

Dai Shan saw that no one else objected, so he officially declared Hauge as the Khan of the Dajin Kingdom.

Hauge took it lightly.

And the news of Huang Taiji's death finally reached Yang Chengying's ears through Shenyang's undercover agents.

At this time, the Liaodong Army had rested for five days.
