After a night of hustle and bustle, the fierce battle in Shenyang finally fell silent.

At this time, the city of Shenyang was full of soldiers of the Ming army patrolling, and all the gaps in the city wall, all the city gates, and all the important places in the city had been guarded by the soldiers of the Ming army.

The remnants of the Qing army in the city have all been wiped out, and in one night, the Ming army captured more than 10,000 prisoners, in addition to the more than 100,000 Manchu people and Mongolian people gathered in the city, so many people, so much that Liu Yan also had some difficulties.

In the early morning of the next day, that is, the early morning of the seventeenth day of the attack on Shenyang City, Liu Yan officially entered Shenyang City, set up the Chinese army of the Ming army in the Manchu Palace, and Liu Yan temporarily handled military affairs in the Yanqing Palace in the palace.

The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the various departments of the Ming army rushed to the Yanqing Palace to participate in the military meeting, which was very important, basically to formulate the fate of the Manchus and Mongols after the war, as well as the major policies of Liaodong in the next few years or even decades!

Soon everyone gathered in the Yanqing Palace, Liu Yan sat on the top of the main hall, and sat on Dolgon's dragon chair, looked left and right at this time, and said with a smile: "This Manchu Tartar's dragon chair is not very comfortable, it is too hard, and it is a good ass!" ”

Everyone laughed out loud, at this time everyone was in a very good mood, exterminating the Manchu Tartars, recovering thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Liaodong, this merit is enough to make everyone famous in history, eternal history, this is more important to everyone than a reward.

Above the main hall, Liu Yan's gaze swept from left to right, in order:

Chen Xun, chief officer of the First Army of the National Defense Force, and Guo Mingxu, deputy chief soldier;

Wang Yue, chief officer of the Second Army of the National Defense Force, and Kang Hui, deputy chief soldier;

Zhang Yi, chief officer of the Third Army of the National Defense Force, and Shi Niuzhong, deputy chief soldier;

Wang Bo, chief officer of the Fourth Army of the National Defense Force, and Chen Yujing, deputy chief soldier;

Shen Tuo, chief officer of the Fifth Army of the National Defense Force, and Guo Rong, deputy chief soldier;

Miao Shao, chief officer of the Sixth Army of the National Defense Force, and Lu Ying, deputy chief soldier;

Xu Ming, chief officer of the Seventh Army of the National Defense Force, and Du Zhongming, deputy chief soldier;

Qian Zhang, chief officer of the Eighth Army of the National Defense Force, and Zhao Dong, deputy chief soldier;

Jia Hongyu, chief officer of the Ninth Army of the National Defense Force, and Chen Mocheng, deputy chief soldier;

Zheng Yi, chief officer of the 10th Army of the National Defense Army, and Ge Cong, deputy chief soldier;

Han Qin, chief officer of the 11th Army of the National Defense Army, and Qin Chenghu, deputy chief soldier;

Wei Han, chief officer of the 12th Army of the National Defense Army, and Bao Qiang, deputy chief soldier;

Shang Zili, chief officer of the 13th Army of the National Defense Force, and Jiang Zhaichun, deputy chief soldier;

Tian Zhenbei, chief officer of the 14th Army of the National Defense Army, and Jiang Yun, deputy chief soldier;

Zheng Chenggong, chief officer of the 15th Army of the National Defense Army, and Zheng Zhihu, deputy chief soldier;

Chen Hui, chief officer of the 16th Army of the National Defense Army, and Zheng Xing, deputy chief soldier.

In addition, Zheng Zhilong and Li Dingguo, as the two supervisors, sat at the head of the chief officers and deputy chief soldiers at this time.

After the war, all the old subordinates under Liu Yan are still there, which is great news for Liu Yan.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Yan, and Liu Yan said: "There are several topics today, first of all, the first is to deal with the prisoners. ”

At this time, Zheng Chenggong directly stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Elder Ge, the last general proposes that all the prisoners in the general be killed in a trap, so as to avenge the millions of people who died at the hands of the Manchus in Liaodong and Guannei!" ”

When the rest of the generals heard this, they all agreed, and none of the generals present had a good impression of the captured Manchus and Mongols.

Liu Yan is the same, although he came from later generations, but the Manchus at this time and the Manchus in later generations are not the same thing.

In history, at the time of the Xinhai Revolution ~ life, the revolutionary ~ army and angry people rushed into the cities in various places, and carried out a retaliatory massacre against the Manchus, so the real Manchus in later generations are actually very few left, who said that they are Manchus, in fact, to be exact, they should be called banner people, their ancestors are Han or other nationalities, but the Manchus in order to maintain their own rule needs, but also to divide and disintegrate the Han nation, so deliberately many Han people forcibly become Manchus. The essence of these so-called Manchus is the Han people who have been "artificially changed to the nation".

At this time, many of the captives in Liu Yan's army were real Tunguska, and Liu Yan did not have a good impression of these barbarians, and he would never show mercy to his subordinates.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to one's own side, not to mention the vicious tribe that has poisoned China for many years and has sunk China for nearly three hundred years in history!

So Liu Yan said loudly: "What Zheng Zongbing said is very much in line with the meaning of this father!" As the so-called elimination of evil is exhausted, Bengong will naturally not leave more than 100,000 Manchus and Mongols behind, otherwise who can guarantee that these Tartars will not have a day of resurrection in the future? ”

Then Liu Yan quoted the scriptures and said: "When Emperor Xianzong sent troops to Liaodong, how heroic the Chenghua Plough Court was, it was because he failed to completely wipe out the three guards of Jianzhou, leaving behind troubles, so that today, more than 100 years later, the land of Liaodong and my Ming Dynasty have suffered repeated disasters everywhere, and even my Ming Dynasty was almost overturned by the Tartars, this is the lesson! ! ”

When everyone heard this, they thought it was true.

Immediately, Liu Yan ordered: "Starting tomorrow, with the First Army of the National Defense Force as the mainstay, all the hundreds of thousands of prisoners in the army will be pitted and killed north of Shenyang City, and all the Manchus and Mongols will not be left!" ”

Chen Xun got up directly and received the order: "Yes!! ”

Hearing this, everyone was happy, and the blood feud of the people of the Ming Dynasty for many years was finally avenged.

At this time, Li Dingguo said: "Pavilion Elder, there are also Manchu Prince Li Daishan and Minister of Parliament Ying Erdai in the army, how to deal with these two people, are they also killed together?" ”

Liu Yan said: "Dai Shan and Ying Erdai stayed first, and another hundred people were also selected from the captives, and returned to the capital with the army together with the two of them as prisoners. ”

"Yes."

In addition, in addition to the more than 100,000 captives of Manchus and Mongols, various departments of the Ming army also captured tens of thousands of Han soldiers and horses. For these people, Liu Yan ordered all Han army banner captives to have their thumbs cut off on both hands, and participated in the reconstruction of Liaodong as official slaves, and obtained civilian status five years later.

Provided, of course, that these traitors did not die in five years of labor!

Then came the second topic: casualties and pensions of the Ming army.

This battle began with the Ming army out of the Shanhaiguan, after nearly two months, the Ming army officers and soldiers fought thousands of miles, and the Manchu Qing hundreds of thousands of bloody battles were fought many times, all the way to recover the cities of Guangning, Jinzhou City, Fuzhou Wei, Haizhou Wei, Gaizhou Wei, Shenyang City and other places, although there are still large areas in Liaodong that have not been taken, there are still sporadic Manchus and Mongols in the cities around the country, but these are already grasshoppers after the autumn, and it is only a matter of time to take the rest of the places.

In this series of battles, the siege of Shenyang was the most tragic.

So far, the casualties of the Ming army have been as high as 47,582, including 31,591 killed and 15,991 wounded.

Liu Yan mobilized 16 national defense forces and nearly 800,000 elites to go out to fight, and the battle losses were so great that he almost lost a single national defense army!!

Of course, in this series of wars, the Ming army soldiers also beheaded more than 680,000 ranks, captured more than 100,000 people, and the Manchu slave chief Dolgon, Yu Prince Duoduo and so on were all killed, and the battle loss ratio between the Ming army and the Qing army reached more than 1 to 14, and this combat power was enough to make Liu Yan and the generals proud.

At this time, Liu Yan sighed in his heart: "Only now do I finally realize that the happiness of the future generations is beautiful, and the firepower advantage is really good!" If our army did not have an absolute superiority in firepower in this battle, it is estimated that even if we can still win this battle, the casualties of the army will probably increase by at least two times! ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yan secretly thought in his heart, after the triumph of the class teacher, should he convene Tian Huixu, the secretary of the Ministry of National Defense, Xun Jingyun, the secretary of the Equipment Department, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the General Staff, to discuss and see if he would invest heavily to increase the improvement and research and development of various firearms?

After coming back to his senses, Liu Yan said to everyone: "The imperial court originally had a fixed amount and process for the pension of the casualties of each department. However, the significance of this battle is so great that my father will make an arbitrary decision today, and the pensions of all the casualties will be tripled. ”

The generals gladly accepted the words, which was also the greatest consolation for the casualties.

Subsequently, Liu Yan took out another piece of good news and said to everyone: "My father has already written a good report, which involves the issue of rewarding meritorious soldiers in various ministries. ”

The credit for destroying the Manchu Qing this time is too great, and when he wrote this good news last night, Liu Yan also had a headache.

According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the warriors have reached the level of chief military officers, and now there are sixteen national defense forces participating in the war, as well as Shi Daxuan, the chief military officer of the Beiyang Fleet, which means that there are seventeen chief military officers who need to be rewarded and promoted, not counting Li Dingguo and Zheng Zhilong, how to arrange these people has become the first problem in front of Liu Yan.

After a night of thinking, Liu Yan came up with a plan, that is, on top of the establishment of the National Defense Force, one more level of establishment, that is, the Governor's Mansion.

The Governor's Mansion that Liu Yan was preparing to establish was different from the previous Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty, and the Governor's Mansion proposed by Liu Yan was equivalent to the concept of a military region in later generations, each of which was responsible for defense and counterattack operations in a certain area, and commanded several field armies.

According to Liu Yan's plan, it is planned to plan the Ming Dynasty in the north and south and the 13 provinces into several governors' offices, and the specific situation needs to be further adjusted.

At this time, Liu Yan just revealed his tone to everyone, and everyone was overjoyed when they heard it.

Especially Wang Yue, he secretly said in his heart: "I originally thought that there would be no promotion in the future, but I didn't expect that there would be big officials to do, which is really good!" ”

And Miao Shao and Xu Ming glanced at each other, both of them saw the clues from Liu Yan's preparation for the establishment of the Governor's Mansion, this move is not only to place meritorious generals, but more purpose, it should be that Liu Yan is ready to set his eyes on the surroundings of Daming!

"That's it!"

Everyone whispered excitedly for a while, and then Liu Yan said: "The reconstruction and restoration of Shenyang City and various places in Liaodong is not an overnight thing, at present, the soldiers of all departments will rest in the area of Shenyang City for a few days, and at the same time, all departments will send out all over Liaodong to investigate all over Liaodong at night, and four days later, the armies will begin to advance to all parts of Liaodong, and continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in all parts of Liaodong!" ”

"Order!!"
