Chapter 41 The stamina of this battle is a bit sufficient
This war is known in the history of the Ming Dynasty as the "Great Victory of Huailai".
In this battle, more than 30,000 people were captured by the Warat army, more than 30,000 heads were captured by the Ming army, tens of thousands of horses, swords, armor, etc.
is not only a big loss of vitality, he has already lost all his old capital.
The main force of Warat was wiped out in this battle, and a generation of young people were all buried outside the city of Huailai.
Upon learning of the defeat of the troops entering the pass, the Arashoin immediately led his army back and tried to compete with Yexian for the position of the leader of Warat.
All of a sudden, the steppe was in chaos.
However, there are also benefits, the governors of the prefecture, seeing that Warat is getting stronger and stronger, the Ming Dynasty can't help them, and they are all a little ready to move.
Fortunately, the first battle of Huailai directly broke the war, and the power of the Ming Dynasty shocked the entire grassland, and also directly dispelled their thoughts.
When the Ming army gathered troops into Eastern Mongolia to rectify the fetters, they cooperated very well, and the fetters were re-established smoothly.
And Daming's side, after the end of this war, is not calm.
After Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing, he launched a big ritual in the southern suburbs to worship heaven and earth, and this time, he was particularly serious.
The previous great sacrifice was just to calm people's hearts, after all, but this time the sacrifice, every step of his way was respectful from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone thought that the orthodox emperor was worshipping the heavens and earth that helped him defeat Warat.
Only Zhu Qizhen himself knows who he worships.
And the severity was inexplicably rewarded the next day.
was given credit, not only did his own fortune be doubled again, but Zhu Qizhen also rewarded a large amount of gold and silver and a luxurious mansion in Beijing, and was awarded the title of Taifu.
The Ming army also suffered more than 40,000 casualties in this battle, but overall it was a great victory.
However, Zhu Qizhen was still scolded.
After all, at that time, the princes in the court all went out with the army. At that time, the soldiers were in chaos, and the soldiers of Warat were holding sharp blades, and the situation of blood and human heads flying randomly frightened the big guys.
There were even a few unlucky officials who received boxed lunches on the spot, which of course the civil officials were not happy about.
They wrote to impeach Zhu Qizhen for the wrongness of this pro-campaign, calling him "a great achievement".
If it weren't for the "luck of inviting the heavens", then the orthodox emperor would probably have the disaster of "unspeakable", and the Ming Dynasty would also be in danger of "shaking the world" because of his rash behavior.
Zhu Qizhen could only smile bitterly in the face of these twists and turns, which were almost equivalent to pointing at his nose and scolding, he was really embarrassed to be angry and punished, after all, he was really sloppy this time.
Obviously, as long as a general is appointed, or Wang Ji is summoned back from the south, the things that can be solved have to be discussed in person, so that he was almost overthrown by Wara.
The son of a daughter couldn't sit down, and he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
Not only that, but the battle of Huailai is also very strong.
For the ministers, the lesson is:
We must not let the guys on the throne go to the throne anymore, otherwise we will have to pay for our lives.
This point of view directly affected the direction of the history of the Ming Dynasty, and made a certain emperor behind Zhu Qizhen suffer enough.
But in fact, the biggest impact is Zhu Qizhen. After all, a strong wind directly turned him into a victory.
This is also a hammer to govern the government, training a woolen soldier!
A piece of jade pendant attracts a strong wind, coupled with the fulfillment of his father's prophecy, what does it mean? Gods and fairies are real!
Imagine an ordinary modern person suddenly knowing that cultivating immortals is real......
After coming back, Zhu Qizhen plunged into the library of the Ming Dynasty and searched for countless Taoist classics.
He summoned many famous Taoist chiefs from mountains and rivers into the palace, lectured for him, and forced people to call for wind and rain for them, and taught him immortal arts.
It's good to preach the scriptures, calling for wind and rain, how can this be! If I know how to do immortal arts, I still need to kneel here for you?
Several Taoist leaders had no choice but to secretly collude with each other, and when they met Zhu Qizhen, they unified their voices:
"Your Majesty, since the opening of the heavens, the essence of the world has been continuously lost, and now it is the era of the end of the law. Even if we are people who practice qi cultivation, it is difficult to seek immortality and cast spells, but it is just that the ancient scriptures are used to cultivate one's self and prolong one's life. ”
"Then why have I ever seen someone who can call the wind and rain?" Zhu Qizhen questioned.
Seeing that he is a ghost, which colleague is there pretending to be a ghost?
The Taoist elders treat others with themselves, so naturally they don't believe that someone can really call for wind and rain, but they can't expose themselves on the spot, right?
So they said:
"It's not that no one can cultivate the Tao and have great supernatural powers, it's just that such people are hard to find through the ages......
These words not only failed to persuade Zhu Qizhen back, but made him even more obsessed.
Doesn't this mean that immortal cultivators are real!
When Yan Yan entered the palace to see him, he also discussed with Yan Yan with great interest:
"Chen Guogong, what do you mean by this 'Tao'? I have studied the classics given to me by several Taoist masters, and I have gained a lot in recent times, but I feel that my mind is clear, and my body is much lighter. ”
"Could it be that I have the talent for cultivation? Have the assets to become immortals? ”
……
Grim was speechless, and could only echo it.
Fortunately, at this time, although Zhu Qizhen was very obsessed with cultivation, he did not abandon the government, and the various recitals should still be approved, so although the ministers were not happy with it, they often wrote to advise, but they saw that Zhu Qizhen did not strike, but he did not die.
After all, the Ming Dynasty has a lot of things to do now.
For example, in the post-war reconstruction, the imperial court had to send officials to search for survivors and rebuild villages and towns, while migrating people from the interior to fill the gaps.
There are more important armaments.
This invasion of Warat exposed many things, especially the weakness of the military.
The border army is essentially still a guard, but because of the perennial war at the border pass, they gradually lose production and specialize in war. However, for eight years, the border army was not in war, coupled with the generals' empty salaries and embezzlement of military salaries, the combat effectiveness declined sharply, and finally they were defeated by the lack of weapons and armor, providing them with a large number of materials.
Not to mention the three major battalions, as the arch guard troops of the Beijing Division, they are extremely well-equipped, with a very high armor rate, and their combat effectiveness should be very strong according to reason, but because they have stayed near the Beijing Division for a long time, they have not really experienced the war, and they cannot fight the enemy at all when they encounter the warriors who have fought on the battlefield.
It was clear to everyone that the war was far from over, and that although Warat was now mired in civil strife, the Ming Dynasty was not able to carry out expeditions.
In a few decades, they will still be good men, and the borders of the Ming Dynasty will be harassed again.
The constitution must be drawn up immediately, and the army must be put in order!
