Chapter Forty-Four: The Triumphant Class Master (Seeking a New Chapter)
After Li Xianzhong's men and horses entered Fushun Pass, they marched towards Shenyang.
Of course, those carts full of supplies quickly separated some of them and headed for Tielingwei.
Although Li Xianzhong has not been here for a long time, he is not a fool, once these seizures enter Shenyang City, it is difficult to say how much of them will end up in his pocket.
So the scarce materials such as iron armor, firearms, and war horses were naturally smuggled back to Tielingwei, after all, it was the territory of the Li family.
However, in order to explain, he still transported a thousand pieces of heavy cloth armor, as well as some swords, guns, bows and arrows, shields, and damaged firearms that could not be used, plus hundreds of old horses as captured materials, all the way to Shenyang.
At this time, almost all the officials of the Ming Dynasty in Shenyang City were already waiting outside the Yongning Gate in the east.
Yang Ho stood in the front row wearing armor, his posture was tall, his eyes were firm, and there was some expectation in his eyes.
Behind him were Li Rubai and other Liaodong generals.
On the other side of the generals, the civil officials headed by Wang Keshou, the governor of Jiliao, and Zhou Yongchun, the governor of Liaodong, were also impressively listed.
Although the beards of the two have turned gray, they are still in good spirits, and their crimson official uniforms look particularly bright in the sunlight.
Behind them were a group of officials in green and green robes.
When the Ming soldiers who returned triumphantly appeared on the horizon, the entire Yongning Gate was completely boiling.
The people all cheered and rushed to witness the demeanor of these Ming athletes.
Li Xianzhong walked at the front of the team wearing a silver armor, with a tall figure and fair skin, he became an idol in the minds of thousands of girls at this time.
And the Liaodong iron cavalry wearing iron armor behind him advanced in a neat row.
The armor and weapons shimmered in the sunlight, making people shudder.
Each knight's face was shrouded in black armor, and people could only see a pair of sharp eyes, and there was a hint of murder in their eyes!
Although the ordinary cavalry behind the Liaodong Iron Cavalry did not have such makeup, at this moment, each of them unconsciously puffed up their chests, accepted the cheers of the Ming people, and enjoyed the glory that belonged to each of them.
Behind them, the truckloads of captive heads, the mountains of weapons and equipment, and the tens of thousands of ragged civilians all proved a point to everyone.
This time, they smashed the old nest of the captives, obtained rich supplies, and rescued a large number of captive people.
The people of Liaodong have always suffered from the plundering of the Jianlu, and many families have been separated by the wives of the Jianlu, and the families have been ruined. For them, the Ming army's rescue of the captured people from Jianzhou's lair was even more valuable than the piles of human heads.
This shows that the Ming did not abandon them, and he has the ability to protect his people.
When he arrived at the city gate, Li Xianzhong hurriedly dismounted and saluted everyone.
He said respectfully: "It is really deserved that you will go out of the city to greet you!" ”
The literati are most jealous of the arrogance and arrogance of military generals, although Li Xianzhong has this capital to be presumptuous today, but this obviously does not benefit him much.
There are countless generals who have died in history due to arrogance and domineering.
Sure enough, his humble attitude immediately made everyone's favorability of him skyrocket.
It is really rare to have made such a great contribution at a young age, and it is really rare to be humble and courteous, and not be arrogant.
After a period of greetings, Li Xianzhong did not get on the horse, but followed everyone to Yang Hao's mansion in Shenyang on foot.
Li Xianzhong said: "The last general and He Shixian's general army annihilated 3,000 red flags outside the Yahu Pass, but unfortunately the captured Hetuala is unusually strong and heavily guarded. We advanced lightly, and without siege equipment, we had to look at the city and sigh. ”
In order to force Jianlu to retreat, the last general and his soldiers successively broke through and destroyed Jianlu's Mardun Village and Gule Village. He killed more than 12,000 old and weak people left behind by Jianjiao, and rescued 12,000 people from Liaodong who were taken captive. ”
Knowing that Hetuara was not captured, everyone was still a little disappointed. After all, as long as they destroyed Jianyu's lair, no matter how big their losses were before, it would be a proper victory in the end.
However, Li Xianzhong was able to make a quick decision and quickly go north to destroy the two important strongholds of Jianyu, which can be regarded as a big victory, especially Gule Village, which is the second largest city in Jianyu.
It was enough to offset the losses of the soldiers who broke through Qinghe Fort and came to the city of Shenyang.
Especially when everyone was surprised to learn that Yan Mingtai, the prison army, was not killed in battle, and that the 3,000 Ming troops in Qinghe Fort faced an opponent several times their size, held out for a whole day, and annihilated nearly 4,000 red flags.
Zhou Yongchun, the governor of Liaodong, said excitedly: "Although Yan Mingtai did not hold Qinghe Fort, they successfully dragged the main force of Jianyu and covered the retreat of the large army, and in the end only three people survived, and we must ask for credit for these dead soldiers!" ”
In particular, Yan Mingtai is not a military general, but a prison army, and it is really admirable that a civilian official dared to come forward at a critical time and achieve such results.
Li Xianzhong also said: "At the beginning, my father and Yang Jingluo promised in front of 3,000 soldiers that they would give the survivors a heavy reward of 100 taels of silver. The last general suggested that a formal ceremony be held in Shenyang to reward the survivors of He Ling and Wang Hu. It not only fulfilled the original promise, but also publicized to the world the heroic deeds of our Liaodong soldiers who swore to resist Jianjiao. ”
Li Xianzhong was very surprised when he didn't see Cha Huizu, and only after asking did he know that the ironclad heavy cavalry led by him was actually killed in the mountain road of Qinghe Road in order to cover the retreat of the main force.
It seems that the Li family was also injured this time, more than half of the casualties of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and all the 3,000 men and horses under Li Huaizhong's command died in Qinghe Fort.
At this time, there were not many elite troops left in the hands of the Li family.
I just don't know how much return these efforts can get?
Li Xianzhong is not worried about Yang Hao and others snatching credit, after all, he captured Li Yongfang alive, killed Abatai, Amin, and smashed Jianzhou's lair and broke Gule Village.
As a military general, it is impossible for him to take the credit for planning and commanding at the same time.
As for how to report to the court, that is also the matter of these officials, he can't actually intervene, I'm afraid that even his father Li Rubai doesn't have much right to speak.
Just as Li Xianzhong was about to retire, Wang Keshou, the governor of Jiliao, suddenly asked: "General Li, you have gone deep into Hetuara twice, you should know the truth of Jianyu very well, will they still harass my Ming Dynasty in the future?" ”
Li Xianzhong looked around and said: "Before the war, there were no less than 60,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and tens of thousands of coats and Han troops as auxiliaries. ”
"Although our army has recreated the main force of the captives many times, it has eliminated almost 20,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners in total. Although Jianyu's vitality was greatly damaged, the main force still existed. ”
"There may be a need for a break in the short term, and I dare assert that it will be back in a few months."
Li Xianzhong's words shocked several people present. If they report to the imperial court that this "ploughing court sweeping holes" to recreate the captives, and the captives will make a comeback within a few months, if Your Majesty becomes angry, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat and walk around.
Li Xianzhong also saw the embarrassment of several people, and hurriedly said: "The last general will plough the court and sweep the holes, and it is not false to recreate the captivity; But all this is based on the premise that our army lured the enemy deep and attracted the main force of Jianyu to Shenyang, and our army did not completely destroy their main force. ”
"Jianyu also urgently needs to regain their strength, and I guess it won't be long before they will definitely make a move against Ye Hebu; This time, the soldiers and horses in the northwest of my Ming Dynasty have been lost, whether it is Fushun or Kaiyuan, and now the troops are extremely empty. I'm afraid that Jianyu will take advantage of the situation to attack these two places, and then completely block the passage for my Ming to support Ye He. ”
After all, Yang Hao has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he understands that what Li Xianzhong said is very likely.
Now that Qinghe Road has been almost robbed by Jianyu, Nurhachi wants to eat Yehe, and most likely he will take the empty Kaiyuan Road by taking advantage of the situation.
However, although he intended to let Marin and Juniper take the blame, after all, Marin is still the chief soldier of Kaiyuan, and the Ma family is also a family of generals.
It is impossible for him to send people directly into Kaiyuan to replace Marin.
After thinking about it, the only way to do this is to let Li Xianzhong lead his troops to enter Tieling, so that whether it is Kaiyuan in the north or Fushun Pass in the south, it can be taken into account.
He said: "What General Li said is true, it is indeed dangerous to open the original road, it seems that you, the Tieling Counselor, are going to Tieling Wei to take up his post as soon as possible." ”
Yang Hao's appointment Li Xianzhong couldn't ask for it, so he said loudly: "The last general will take the order!" ”
