After meeting Chongzhen, Wu Sanwang's first sentence was: "Your Majesty, Shanyang is victorious!"
"Great victory in Shanyang?" Chongzhen just nodded lightly, but Zheng Sen, Jin Shenghuan, Li Xiangjun, Ruan Dacheng and others standing next to Chongzhen suddenly changed from worried to excited.
They originally thought that it would be good if Yan Yingyuan and Maoxiang could defend Shanyang.
But they didn't expect that the two of them not only defended Shanyang, but also won a great victory.
I just don’t know how many slaves were killed in total? There should still be a few hundred, right?
Beheading hundreds of levels, although it is not comparable to the victory in Xia Town, it can still be regarded as a rare victory.
Wu Sanwang paused for a moment and then said: "The Battle of Shanyang lasted for sixty-eight days, and a total of more than 9,600 people were beheaded, including more than 3,900 true slaves!"
"Ah? What?!"
"Behead more than nine thousand six hundred people?!"
"Just kill more than 3,900 real slaves?!"
"Brother Jianheng and Brother Pijiang actually killed so many Jian slaves?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding princes and generals suddenly exclaimed.
Li Xiangjun's beautiful eyes were also widened, and she was obviously shocked.
The first reaction of generals such as Jin Shenghuan, Ma Huabao and Wang Zuntan was that they didn't believe it. More than 9,600 people were beheaded, but the real slaves had more than 3,900 people? How is it possible? This is definitely a false report of military exploits.
I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that these scholars, looking so upright and awe-inspiring, would actually falsely report their military exploits.
To be honest, Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard this. He had already expected that Yan Yingyuan would be able to defend Shanyang. How good was Yan Yingyuan's defense of the city?
With a group of temporarily gathered civilian and rural warriors, they were able to withstand the 81-day-long attack of more than 200,000 Qing troops and 200 Hongyi cannons, and also killed more than 70,000 Qing troops.
Although most of the more than 70,000 Qing troops who were killed were surrendered, this is still an exaggeration.
You don't even dare to write like this. If you dare to write like this, you will definitely be scolded. Your opponents will collectively use their wits. You, Yan Yingyuan, can just send a few people to burn the enemy's food, grass and baggage. Isn't this nonsense?
Unless the enemy commander is a pig, there is no way he will be fooled.
But Yan Yingyuan did it, killing more than 70,000 Qing troops in one battle!
Of course, Jiangyin's soldiers and civilians also paid a heavy price with the city shattered.
Yan Yingyuan, with tens of thousands of civilians who had never received any formal training, and a group of officials and low-level military attachés who had never had any cooperation, were able to defeat more than 200,000 Qing troops and 200 red barbarian cannons.
That way, then this time he has 20,000 well-trained rural warriors in his hands, as well as a group of civil servants who can work closely with them. It is not surprising that Shanyang can be defended in the end. If he cannot, then it is
Really strange.
But Chongzhen didn't expect that Yan Yingyuan actually killed nearly 4,000 real slaves in Shanyang!
This is amazing. Since the beginning of the East, the Ming army has never fought such a great victory.
The so-called Ningjin victory only killed more than 700 people. The last Xiazhen victory only killed more than 2,000 true slaves, and most of the rest were surrendered to the Han army.
But it still needs to be verified.
"Wu Sanwang, is what you said true?" Chongzhen asked solemnly.
"It's true." Wu Sanwang said categorically, "I have been to Shanyang and saw with my own eyes the corpses of slaves. More than 4,000 bones of real slaves and more than 5,000 wrapped corpses were neatly placed.
There are one hundred in each row, thirty-nine rows on one side, and more than fifty rows on the other side, so it is easy to count."
"Are there really so many corpses?" Jin Shenghuan still couldn't hold it back.
Ma Huabao also didn't believe it and said: "What are you bragging about? You can still snatch Jiannu's body?"
Wang Zuntan also disagreed: "It's not like we haven't fought against Jiannu before. Even if Jiannu loses, the dead people will take away the body, so why would they dump the body in Shanyang?"
Wu Sanwang said suddenly: "Jian Nu wants to take away the body, but they must have this ability."
"What do you mean?" Wang Zuntan asked with a frown, "Jiannu can't even take away the body?"
"I really can't take them away." Wu Sanwang nodded and added, "Because these corpses either sank into the canal or were burned into charred corpses, with only a few bones left."
Chongzhen said: "So you know the entire battle process?"
"Yes." Wu Sanwang responded, "Master Lu specifically explained this before leaving."
"Very good." Chongzhen said happily, "Then you can tell the whole process of the Battle of Shanyang from the beginning."
After saying this for a while, Chongzhen turned back to Ruan Dacheng and said, "Ruan Dacheng."
Ruan Dacheng quickly stepped forward and said: "Wei Chen is here."
Chongzhen said: "Listen to me, and then write a new play based on the Shanyang War. After writing, rehearse and shape it as soon as possible, and then go on tour to various camps."
"According to the order." Ruan Dacheng accepted the order happily.
…
In Beijing, Dorgon has already taken action.
The main thing is to win the support of the majority of the Eight Banners nobles.
It is difficult for the Eight Banners nobles to have any secrets, it is basically conspiracy.
Back then, Huang Taiji teamed up with the three major Baylors to force Abahai to death and win the throne, and Dorgon teamed up with Bumbutai to give Hauge's throne to Fulin, all of which were plots.
This time Dorgon devoted all his country's power to defeat the Ming Dynasty, and he also used a conspiracy.
After hearing the news, the nobles of the two yellow flags rushed to the Forbidden City to find Bumu Butai to discuss.
The nobles of the Two Yellow Banners who will gather in the Dongnuang Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace include Sony, Yi Bilong, Ao Bai, etc. These are all die-hard royalists left by Huang Taiji and are loyal to Fulin.
"The Queen Mother, the Nine Kings are going all-out!" Sony said solemnly, "In addition to the ten Niu Lu stationed in Taiyuan and Datong, he also wants to include the thirty Niu Lu stationed in Beijing.
To transfer him away, in addition to moving troops, he also has to distribute food to each Niulu in each banner, and each Niulu must donate four months of rations!"
[Note: Dorgon was the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, but he was ranked ninth among the Baylors in the Later Jin Dynasty, so the nobles of the Eight Banners were usually called the Nine Kings, and Duduo was ranked the tenth Baylor, so they were called the Ten Kings]
"It seems that the situation on the front line in Xuzhou is not good?" Bumubutai frowned.
Here, I would like to add that the report of Duduo's defeat was only given to Dorgon, but not to the Qing court.
The reason why Duduo asked Fan Chengmo to rush back to Beijing desperately was to make a time difference.
With the time difference, Dorgon would have room to operate. Otherwise, if the news of the defeat was spread back to Beijing first, Dorgon would probably be unable to control the Eight Banners nobles in Beijing.
Bumbutai is very likely to unite with Jierhalang to cause trouble.
However, Duduo is obviously overthinking here, as Bumbutai, a woman, still has a good sense of the overall situation.
In short, at this time, the Eight Banners nobles in Beijing, including Bumbutai, did not know that Duduo was defeated in Shanyang, but through Dorgon's actions, it can still be seen that the situation in Xuzhou is not optimistic.
Fulin glanced at E Niang and asked, "Ebilong, has the regent sent food to the two white flags?"
Ye Bilong snorted lightly and replied: "Master, I have sent them, and the quotas are the same. Every cow in the two white flags must also donate four months of rations to the Xuzhou front line according to their number."
Ao Bai said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, how did the ten kings fight in Xuzhou? Why did the nine kings increase their troops and send food, and why did they decide to conquer Xuzhou personally? There must be an inside story! I thought that the nine kings should be responsible for the battle in Xuzhou.
The details will be made public, and then the flag owners of each banner, Baile, will discuss it, and only after the agreement can they send out food and increase troops."
"No!" Fulin said flatly, "The two yellow flags will not send food, let alone mobilize troops to the Xuzhou battlefield. As a result, the ten kings will most likely be defeated on the Xuzhou battlefield, and the regent will also be implicated by the ten kings and lose his prestige."
Compared to Fulin in another time and space, Fulin in this interface awakens earlier.
Fulin here not only felt Dorgon's threat to his throne, but also clearly felt Dorgon's coveting of his empress, so the seeds of hatred had been planted in his young heart.
Ao Bai, Sony, Ye Bilong and other nobles of the two yellow flags all looked at Fulin in surprise.
To be honest, Fulin's words made them a little surprised. This was a proper white-eyed wolf.
Bumbutai said angrily: "Shut up, based on what you just said, you are not worthy of being the leader of the two yellow flags, let alone the emperor of our Qing Dynasty!"
"Eniang!" Fulin looked at Bumbutai with an aggrieved face, "There are no outsiders here."
Children are children after all. They feel that the nobles of the two yellow flags are all members of their own family. They don't have to have any scruples when speaking in front of their own family members. They can say whatever they want.
Bumbutai said with a cold face: "You are the leader of the Two Yellow Banners, and more importantly, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so when you consider issues, you should put the interests of the entire Qing Dynasty first, no matter how big your opinions are on the Nine Kings and Ten Kings.
, but when facing the enemies of the Qing Dynasty, we should all unite to fight against foreign enemies."
"Because if the ten kings were defeated in Xuzhou, the entire Qing Dynasty would suffer."
After saying this, he added: "The Southern Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are mortal enemies. If the Qing Dynasty suffers heavy losses, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not show any mercy to us and will definitely kill them all."
"Do you want to kill all the people of the Qing Dynasty?"
"I know, E Niang." Fulin's little face turned into a bitter melon.
Bumbutai said again: "You should do as the Nine Kings say."
"嗻!" Sony and the others knelt down and said goodbye, stood up and left.
After seeing off Sony and others, Bumbutai said to Fulin with serious words: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what my mother told you last time? Never be in a hurry before you are still young.
Show your claws."
"Your Majesty, I just feel that the two yellow flags are my own," Fulin said.
"Sometimes your own people may not be reliable." Bumbutai sighed softly and said, "As an emperor, you are born to be a loner. You can't trust anyone around you, including E Niang. Remember?
"
"Remember." Fulin said seriously, "I will definitely hide my good intentions."
"Good boy." Bumbutai said with some distress, "Being this emperor really wrongs you."
…
In Yunlong Mountain, Wu Sanwang finally finished telling the whole story of the Battle of Shanyang.
There was a moment of silence in the gun platform hall. Everyone was immersed in Wu Sanwang's narration, as if they were taken back to the bloody battlefield of Shanyang.
"Well done!"
It was Zhu Cijiong who broke the silence first.
After shaking his fist vigorously, Zhu Cijiong said again: "What a pity."
Chongzhen breathed a long sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that I was unable to participate in the Battle of Shanyang." Zhu Cijiong sighed, "I missed a good opportunity to drink Jiannu's blood. It's a pity. It's such a pity. Alas."
The prince Qin and the generals of the border army present had the same lament.
However, their moods were different. It was a pity for the Qin princes that they could not participate in such a great battle, while it was a pity for the generals of the border army that they missed out on their great military exploits.
There are more than 9,000 levels of beheading, and the true slaves alone have more than 3,900 levels.
A real slave has fifty taels, and a coated slave has ten taels, which adds up to a total of two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver! Even if the army of 50,000 is divided equally, each person still has fifty taels!
I can buy a full twenty acres of land!
"Wu Sanwang, thank you for your hard work." After Chongzhen finished speaking, he said to Gao Qiqian, "Gao Banban, take Wu Sanwang down to rest. Don't forget to boil hot water for him and let him take a good bath."
"The old slave has received the order." Gao Qiqian said to Wu Sanwang happily, "Brother Sanwang, please come with us."
"Don't dare." Looking at Gao Qiqian's smiling face, Wu Sanwang had goosebumps all over his body, but he could only follow Gao Qiqian and leave the bunker.
"Come all over."
Chongzhen waved to the generals of the border army and the chief scholars to gather around the sand table.
"Before today, what we were most worried about was the battle situation in Shanyang. Once Shanyang fell, the Jiannu army would not only be able to obtain a large amount of food, grass and pay, but they would also be able to go south along the canal and take Yangzhou Prefecture directly."
"If Yangzhou is lost, Nanjing across the river will be in danger."
"If Nanjing falls, our hold on Xuzhou will become meaningless."
After talking about this for a while, Chongzhen said again: "But fortunately, such an extremely bad situation did not happen. Yan Yingyuan and Mao Xiang not only defended Shanyang City, but also severely damaged the slave army! The only regret is that
, Maoxiang died for his country, which is not only a loss for the scholar camp, but also a loss for the Ming Dynasty!"
The faces of all the scholars present showed sadness.
Ma Huabao, Wang Zuntan and other frontier generals did not take it seriously. They said to themselves that no one would die in a war. It would not be surprising if anyone died. Besides, there were more than 6,000 soldiers in the scholar camp. What would happen if one of them died?
Chongzhen continued: "Okay, now let's talk about it, what will the slaves make next? Should we increase troops and adjust food supplies to continue the siege of Xuzhou for a long time, or should we withdraw our troops?"
Zheng Sen said: "Your Majesty, the students thought that Jiannu would definitely increase troops and adjust food supply and continue to besiege Xuzhou."
Chongzhen said: "What is your basis? Why did Jiannu definitely increase his troops and mobilize grain to besiege Xuzhou?"
"Intuition." Zheng Sen said, "I don't think Dorgon will admit defeat so easily. He will definitely fight us desperately, so we must be mentally prepared to use the ultimate killing move of death if necessary."
