214 The Quartet forces beheaded 20,000 The Holy Lord of Zhongxing began to take shape
Throughout the second half of the night, the Ming army was fighting in the rain, chasing the dead and chasing the north.
In the back, not long after the collapse of the bombing camp of the Wara army, the remaining hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were also neatly dressed and joined the military feast created by Zhu Qiyu for the Ming soldiers.
However, the main credit must have been taken by the two battalions and six guards who were clearly loyal to the emperor.
The Shenji Battalion and the Xiaocai Battalion are the Beijing battalion troops of the imperial court, the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison belong to the Shangzhi personal guard, and the Yingzhou Guard and Tiance Guard are Zhu Qiyu's exclusive personal guards.
These two battalions and six guards, with a total of more than 40,000 people, are descendants of troops that can be personally deployed by the emperor in advance. The remaining 100,000 people waited until the shouts of killing shook the sky before they paid attention to the attack on the camp.
Like Shi Heng, Sun Bo, Liu Yongcheng, Liu Ju, Shi Biao and others, who were also brave and daring generals, when they heard the shouts of killing, they all went out of the camp to inspect. After inspecting the military situation, everyone felt a little bitter.
The emperor clearly distrusts several generals, but the emperor can't be blamed entirely, this is the result of the generals not standing in line with each other.
Especially Shi Heng, even if he stood in line, he even made a warlock Tong Yin under his subordinates, and calculated a big hexagram that the emperor would be restored sooner or later.
Zhu Qiyu didn't kill Shi Heng and Shi Biao, the uncles and nephews, even if his temper was good enough.
As for Liu Yongcheng and Liu Ju, the two uncles and nephews, they are a little better. Liu Yongcheng was the great eunuch second only to Zheng He in terms of military exploits and prestige in the early Ming Dynasty. is also relatively neutral in standing in line, neither openly inclined to the emperor, nor clearly loyal to the new monarch, belonging to the kind that recognizes the jade seal and does not recognize the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu is too lazy to win over these unfamiliar generals. Even if some of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who are not loyal enough are removed, he now has 30,000 descendants in Beijing, and after the war, he will transfer another 20,000 personal guards from the Daning Capital Division, and 30,000 from the old department of Xu Heng's elite border army in Shaanxi.
In this way, there are 80,000 troops loyal to the emperor, as for Shi Heng, Sun Bo, Liu Yongcheng and other generals, they can think whatever they like, their future prospects are to get a decent title, and then go to the border to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and don't go back to the capital if there is nothing to do.
The most regrettable thing in this is Sun Boring, when the emperor first ascended the throne, he repeatedly wooed Sun Boring, but Sun Boring suspected that he was not connected, and now he was kicked out of the inner circle by the emperor.
This is how you used to ignore me, but now you can't climb high. If you miss the emperor's woo and want to enter the emperor's inner circle again, it will be extremely difficult.
However, although several generals have different mentalities, the credit still has to be grabbed. Although you can't eat big meat, you can't stop drinking the broth that is right next to your mouth.
When the second battalion and six guards broke through the Yexian Chinese army and bombed the camp, Shi Heng, Sun Bo and others also gathered their troops and began to hunt and kill the scattered Warat soldiers everywhere.
It's just that as soon as this battle was fought, Shi Heng and the others saw that the problem was coming. The emperor's descendants were significantly stronger than other armies in night warfare, and with only about 40,000 men, they could completely defeat the roughly numbered Warat army.
And Shi Heng's five military camps, Sun Bo's three thousand battalions, and Liu Yongcheng's other part of the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison were blinded as soon as they left the camp, and most of the soldiers had symptoms of night blindness, and they couldn't see clearly, let alone cut people in the dark.
On top of that, it's still raining heavily, so don't even think about lighting a torch.
Fortunately, there are more than 100,000 people, even if they run into each other, it is enough to bump into quite a lot of Varat deserters. Moreover, the Warat deserters did not know Chinese, so as soon as everyone looked at each other and communicated with each other, they could distinguish between friend and foe and start slashing.
In addition to these hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, there were two groups of people who participated in the pursuit and killing of the defeated army: one group was the loyal and brave soldiers who spontaneously gathered to cut off the heads and receive the rewards after the emperor offered a reward for the heads of the people who did not collect them at night; The other group is the nobles' family members, who are not to receive the emperor's reward, but to find a sense of existence, and by the way to see if they can make some contributions to make the emperor change his attitude.
However, there are still some special people in this: there are several nobles who have gone wrong and have been interrupted, including the families of Ying Guogong, Marquis of Wuding, Marquis of Fuyang, Marquis of Anping, Marquis of Guangping, etc.
This is thanks to those nobles who are loyal to the emperor, Zhu Qiyu felt that the emperor's nobles were large in number and deep-rooted, so he specially sent someone to secretly mention these families who stopped attacking the title. As long as the heirs of these families come out with their family members to cut off some heads and make some contributions, they are almost passable, and Zhu Qiyu will reinstate these families.
In addition to Guo Chang and Guo Cong of the Wuding Hou family, Li Xuan of the Cao Guogong family acted with the emperor's personal guards, and the rest of the down-and-out noble families only took their families to drink soup in the periphery.
The battle continued all night, until dawn, when the rain gradually stopped, and the shouts of killing finally stopped. The Warat soldiers who could run had already run, and those who couldn't have their heads cut off.
The emperor's second battalion and six guards did not leave the Warat camp for a whole night. Not only did he cut off more than 10,000 heads, but also the eight carts full of rare treasures that Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian had given to Yexian successively, as well as 600,000 taels of silver, all of which were distributed by the soldiers of the second battalion and six guards.
Then it was time to clean up the battlefield and collect the horses, grain and grass in the Warat camp, and the armor and weapons of the slain Tartars. The silver and jewelry can be divided, this is what Zhu Qiyu hinted and acquiesced to, and the rest of these ordnance can no longer be divided, and they have to be obediently handed over to the emperor for unified deployment.
Not surprisingly, these ordnance will soon be delivered to Totobuka, and then Totobuhua's army will use these ordnance to continue attacking the rest of Yexian. In this way, the Ming Dynasty only produces some ordnance, and he can reap the benefits.
As for the other Ming troops, brave warriors, and honorable families, they were not satisfied with the achievements they had obtained, and continued to pursue and search one after another. It's like a fun and exciting game of hunting, and these people can be found within fifty miles of the Warat camp.
……
In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist, and then ordered the guards to open the palace door.
A cold wind blew in, and the monarchs and ministers were all in good spirits. The rain had stopped outside, the sky had dawned, and after a long night, the kings and ministers were finally facing a new beginning.
Zhao Xuan walked into the hall at the right time and informed Zhu Qiyu and the ministers of the preliminary battle situation.
When he heard that at least fifteen thousand soldiers and horses had been killed this time, the palace completely exploded. The biggest reaction was the Sun family, Sun Jizong and Sun Xianzong brothers only felt dizzy and almost didn't sit still.
Before, the brothers of the Sun family and Princess Qi were angry, but Princess Qi bet 300,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of gold in the casino opened by the Sun family. Bet one to five, and bet that Zhu Qiyu can cut at least 40,000 Tartar heads in this battle to defend the Beijing Division.
At that time, people thought that Zhu Qiyu was whimsical and daydreaming; And Lin Xiangyu, the loser princess, is soft and charming, and she is unbridled, and she is headless and brainless, and she also goes crazy with Xinjun.
Now that the outcome has been decided, the Sun family will pay a total of 1.5 million taels of silver and 250,000 taels of gold to Princess Qi. Now it's okay, let's wait for the bankruptcy.
The other civil and military generals didn't think so much, they all knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted to God to bless the Ming Dynasty, long live the emperor. Even the ministers who were hostile to the new monarch in their stance had to admit that the emperor was indeed wise and martial, and he had begun to take on the atmosphere of the Holy Lord of Zhongxing.
