Wu Youxing was also overjoyed and immediately called together the medical students.
"Students, I have some great news for you. Under the leadership of Xu Gijian, our army of tomorrow defeated the Jiannu slaves on the south bank of the Hun River not long ago. They beheaded and captured more than 20,000 people alive!"
"Oh my God, Liaodong actually won such a big victory?"
"And it's still a field battle. After this battle, the offensive and defensive positions will really change."
The students were all excited when they heard this, and the people also cheered after hearing this.
Now Xu Yingwei's name has really spread throughout Nanchang Prefecture, and no one knows it.
"This battle is also due to the contribution of my students from Daming Medical College." Ma Shiqi keenly found the entry point for lobbying, "If it weren't for the medical battalion sent by Daming Medical College to provide the most complete medical care, which minimized the casualties of the Liaodong New Army, Liaodong would have
I am afraid that the new army will not be able to achieve such a great victory."
After hearing this, the students' perception of Ma Shiqi suddenly changed.
Ma Shiqi smiled and said to Wu Youxing: "Dean Wu, do you think, for the sake of the great victory in Hunhe River, can you send a group of students to our Nanchang Mansion? Ten, we only need ten."
"There's really nothing we can do about you." Wu Youxing said helplessly.
"Well, the third graders will graduate at the end of next year."
"When the time comes, I will find a way to reserve twenty students for your Nanchang Mansion."
When Ma Shiqi heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately bowed to Wu Youxing.
…
Xu Yingwei has become a household name in the Ming Dynasty and is even known as the God of War in the Ming Dynasty.
However, Xu Yingwei, who was far away in Gaizhou Guard, had no idea. He still lived a boring and monotonous life every day. During the day, he led the soldiers to patrol the city defense, and at night, he followed the soldiers for heart-to-heart talks.
The food is also the same as that of soldiers. It is impossible to eat Xiaozao.
By late October, ten days after the Hunhe Battle, a large group of Jiannu cavalry appeared outside Gaizhou City.
In fact, as early as five days ago, Horqin Mongolia's Ye Bushou had appeared in the wilderness outside Gaizhou City and launched a desperate fight with the Ming army's scout cavalry.
The result was naturally one-sided.
The mounted bows of the Mongolian cavalry were no match for the Type 20 rifles of the Ming army's scouts.
However, as the number of Mongolian cavalry increased at night, control of the periphery of the battlefield inevitably fell into the hands of the Mongols, and the Ming army was forced to fully retreat into Gaizhou City.
However, Xu Yingwei did not panic at all, because more than half of the more than 9,000 injured New Army troops have returned to the army. In addition to an infantry brigade that was left behind in Gaizhou, there are now enough Ming troops in Gaizhou Guards, and there are 5,000 Koreans.
Army, these Korean troops are definitely useless in field operations, but they are still capable of helping to defend the city.
There is no need to worry about military supplies, the reserves are enough to last for a year.
Moreover, the Holy One also said before leaving that reinforcements would be dispatched soon.
However, what really gave Xu Yingwei the confidence was the previous victory at Hunhe.
The Ming army could defeat the Jian Nu in an upright large-scale field battle, so what else could they have to fear? Even if the Jian Nu army came again, it would only be a few hundred more red barbarian cannons.
However, the Jiannu army had Hongyi cannons, and the Ming army also had 4-inch cannons.
What's more important is that there are a large number of gun platforms outside Gaizhou City.
Even if the Jian slaves came in large numbers, Xu Yingwei was fearless.
Xu Yingwei's only worry is that nothing unexpected happens to Chongzhen.
Because Chongzhen wanted to take 800 Yiding directly back across the sea to the south this time.
It's not that I'm worried about being intercepted by Mongolian cavalry halfway, the Mongolian cavalry is nothing to worry about.
Xu Yingwei was worried that there were holes in the ice in the North Sea, and he was afraid that Chongzhen would fall into the sea, so he suggested that Chongzhen return to Nanjing half a month later. However, Chongzhen was already eager to return and did not want to wait for a moment longer.
…
Also worried about Chongzhen falling into the sea were Shandong Governor Wang Jiayan and Shandong Admiral Hu Xinshui.
In the middle of winter, the ice in the North Sea is extremely thick, enough for people and horses to pass through, but few people dare to walk.
After receiving the report from Xu Yingwei, Wang Jiayan and Hu Xinshui hurriedly took three hundred servants to greet them on the ice. They had already reached the sea near Tuoji Island.
Although the horse's hooves were wrapped in anti-slip cotton, Wang Jiayan, Hu Xinshui and the accompanying servants were still cautious, firstly for fear of slipping, and secondly for fear of falling into an ice hole.
In late September, the North Sea began to enter extremely cold weather.
By mid-October, the ice in the North Sea was already extremely thick, making it almost no problem for people and horses to pass through.
However, there are no absolutes. There are often large and small ice holes on the vast ice surface. If you accidentally fall into it, it will be very troublesome. If there is only one person, you will basically die.
While busy on the road, Hu Xinshui chatted with Wang Jiayan about Xu Yingwei.
They also won battles. Hu Guozhu won the battle in Guting Town, but was kicked out by Chongzhen. However, Xu Yingwei won the battle in Hunhe, but Chongzhen publicized it and treated him more highly.
Comparing the two, it is impossible to say that Hu Xinshui has no resentment.
"Wang Butang, what do you think, Your Majesty? Why can't I understand this?"
"What is there to understand? Your Majesty is in a hurry to return to Nanjing to take charge of the overall situation."
"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about why the Lord spared no effort to build momentum for Xu Yingwei?"
"Oh, you're talking about this. What's so difficult to understand about this matter?" Wang Jiayan asked Hu Xinshui, "Has Hu Junmen heard the story of Champion Hou?"
"Of course I've heard the story of Champion Hou, Huo Qubing."
"Knowing the story of Champion Hou, Hu Junmen should understand the good intentions of His Majesty's move."
However, Hu Xinshui still didn't understand and could only ask with a salivated face: "I don't understand very well, please ask the minister to clarify my doubts."
After all, he was a Mongolian. He had never read a book seriously before moving to western Liaoning. At best, he could only read a few words and could barely draw his own name.
Wang Jiayan explained patiently: "Don't Hu Junmen feel that the current situation is somewhat similar to the situation before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched a large-scale northern expedition against the Huns? The national treasury is very full and the military equipment is not weak, but the whole country and even the people are mostly timid.
And among the military generals, there is even a lack of a general who can lead the group."
Hu Xinshui frowned and said, "Your Majesty, he himself knows a lot about military affairs, so why should he help others?"
"It's different." Wang Jiayan waved his hand and said, "The Holy One is a commander, and there is a difference between a commander and a general. The one who sits in the rear and strategizes and wins a decisive victory thousands of miles away is a commander, and the one who leads the three armies to charge into battle is a general. The Holy One knows how the soldiers can be.
He is a commander-in-chief, but he is a noble of the Nine Fives, and his body is in danger for the Ming Dynasty, so he cannot be a general."
"I understand." Hu Xinshui suddenly realized, "Xu Yingwei is the powerful general used by the Holy One to prop up the show."
"That's right." Wang Jiayan smiled and said, "The champion Hou Huo Qubing was a banner raised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the weak Han army. Huo Qubing led the Han army to sweep thousands of miles, and after sealing the wolf and living in Xu, the Han army
He swept away the weak style of Wenjing before and became brave and good at fighting, and the people of the Han Dynasty also became martial."
"It is advisable to hang your head among the barbarian mansions on the street to show the thousands of miles."
"Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be killed no matter how far away he is! What kind of courage is this?"
"And Xu Yingwei is another banner raised by the Holy One for our Ming Dynasty."
"The Holy One hopes that Xu Yingwei can become another champion. He also hopes that under Xu Yingwei's encouragement, the Ming army can become as brave and good at fighting as the Han army. Anyone who dares to offend our Ming Dynasty will be killed no matter how strong it is!"
"I see." Hu Xinshui finally figured it out.
But after I figured it out, the resentment in my heart became even stronger.
Originally, this flag should have been his son. The Holy Spirit was unfair.
While he was talking, a scout came back and reported that a large group of cavalry had been spotted ahead.
Wang Jiayan and Hu Xinshui quickly took out the monocular binoculars from the leather bags at their waists.
With the rapid development of the glass products industry, single-tube two-section or even three-section telescopes have been widely equipped in the Ming army, and generals above the deputy general level have been equipped with telescopes.
Through a telescope, you can see more clearly.
"Judging from the stomach, there should be eight hundred barbarians."
"The Holy One must have arrived, Hu Junmen, let's hurry up."
After Wang Jiayan finished speaking, he urged his horse to move forward, and Hu Xinshui quickly followed.
It looked very close on the ice, but in fact it was not that close. Plus, I couldn't walk very fast, so it took nearly half an hour of walking before the two armies finally reunited.
It was really Chongzhen and his entourage who protected the Liaodong Army.
After seeing the Shandong Army, Chongzhen asked the Liaodong Army to return to Gaizhou Guards to resume their duties.
"Wang Qing and Hu Qing, didn't I ask you not to come to greet me? Why did you come anyway?" Chongzhen pretended to complain a few words, but both Wang Jiayan and Hu Xinshui could hear Chongzhen's closeness.
Hu Xinshui felt a little confused again, thinking that the Holy Father was still thinking about his old love.
While Hu Xinshui was thinking about it, Chongzhen came over and said, "Hu Qing, I have to explain something to you. This kid Guozhu is still too young and lacks experience. After the great victory in Guting Town, he was a little restless, so I removed him from the cavalry.
The camp has been transferred, so let him go to the Imperial College to teach equestrian for two years to sharpen his temperament."
“The Book of Rites says that if jade is not polished, it cannot be used as a tool, and if people do not learn, they will not know righteousness.”
"This kid Guozhu has some abilities, but his temperament is a little out of control."
After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "I believe that if I let him train in the Imperial College for a few years, he will become calm. Then it will be a matter of course for him to lead the Ming Dynasty's cavalry regiment to gallop through the desert."
"Your Majesty, I am scared." Hu Xinshui was really flattered now.
Is the Holy One trying to explain it to him? How can he be virtuous and capable of being so careless?
In the past three years, His Majesty's temperament has changed drastically. He began to like to follow rules when doing things, but his majesty was more than ten years earlier. How deep is the Donglin Party's foundation in Jiangnan? In the end, it was uprooted by His Majesty.
"Hu Qing, don't be afraid." Chongzhen said with a slight smile.
"In the future, we will have to rely on you father and son to conquer the desert in the north."
In Chongzhen's long-term plan, the Hu family and his son are indispensable.
In any case, the Hu family and his son are direct bloodlines of the Golden Family.
With the banner of the Golden Family here, it will be much easier to conquer the desert.
It is impossible to make the same mistake as Grandpa Cheng again.
