The Battle of Jizhou is finally over. This battle is a great victory for the Ming Army!
In the lobby of Jizhou General Military Office, preliminary statistics show that in this battle, about 15,000 Jianlu were killed and injured, while 11,000 Mongolian Tatars came and captured 23,000 Jianqi.
There are about 45,000 Tatars.
According to estimates, there are still 30,000 to 40,000 remnants at large. However, all of them are no longer organized and are fleeing in many small groups.
This time, after Sun Chuanting announced the results of the battle, he did not delay any longer. Instead, he immediately ordered the troops and generals and ordered the infantry to move out overnight and guard the various exits along the Great Wall.
The cavalry unit will begin a larger search for the remaining enemies after dawn tomorrow.
At the same time, orders were sent to nearby state capitals to organize local people to help capture the remaining enemies.
The victory report to the capital was also sent out as soon as possible.
Because Sun Chuanting knew that Emperor Chongzhen must be waiting very anxiously!
In fact, he was not wrong at all.
Since the departure of the Beijing Camp and the Yongwei Camp, Emperor Chongzhen's heart also followed.
While walking, eating, reviewing memorials, etc., often without paying attention, a thought would pop out of his mind: How is the war in Jizhou?
After preparing for such a long time, before Zhou Yuji and the others left, they all said that they were very sure that they would definitely win this battle, right?
However, Jianlu has not been defeated in so many years. How can it be so easy to deal with hundreds of thousands of troops entering the pass?
No, no, no, it will definitely be easy to deal with this time. With Sun Chuanting in command, as well as the Baigan Army, Yongwei Camp, and Beijing Camp, they are all the most powerful ones that I can use. I can definitely win!
However, the war is dangerous. Who knows if something went wrong that affected the outcome of the war? Without accurate information, anything can happen!
Emperor Chongzhen's worry was felt even by the people around him. Du Yinxi and He Fengsheng comforted Emperor Chongzhen, saying that the imperial officers and troops would win!
However, Emperor Chongzhen himself could clearly feel that they actually lacked confidence.
Instead, Empress Zhou, Concubine Tian and others comforted him, and he seemed to be more confident.
That night, Empress Zhou saw that Emperor Chongzhen was still distracted, so she suggested to him: "Your Majesty, why don't you talk to Liu Weichao?"
As a person beside her, she clearly felt that her husband, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, listened to Liu Weichao the most, so she came up with this suggestion.
Emperor Chongzhen had actually wanted to tell Liu Weichao for a long time, but after preparing for so long and still worrying so much, he was a little afraid of being laughed at by Liu Weichao.
Now, I have been worried for a long time. When Empress Zhou suggested it, just laugh at me if you feel like it. It is better than being scared.
So, he took the mobile phone from Queen Zhou, asked the maids and chamberlains who were taking dictation to step back, and prepared to video-record Liu Weichao.
Unexpectedly, Liu Weichao sent him a video communication request first.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he quickly pressed the "connect" button.
Liu Weichao was about to speak excitedly to Emperor Chongzhen when he suddenly found that Emperor Chongzhen's expression seemed a little wrong, as if he was worried, so he stopped his own business and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "What's the matter? What's the matter with you?"
What?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned to look at Queen Zhou, and then turned back and said with a little worry: "Now Sun Qing has led his troops to Jizhou, and the battle is about to begin. I am not sure. It is really this battle.
The relationship is too great!”
If this battle can be won as expected, the entire Ming Dynasty situation will be revitalized. It can be said that this battle will be a turning battle for the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty. At least with this battle, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen
Things will never happen.
However, if this battle is defeated, the wealth Emperor Chongzhen has finally accumulated will be exhausted. Under internal and external difficulties, the Crooked Neck Tree will still wave to him.
It’s true, no one knows better than him now how important this battle is! It’s the same reason why he worries about gains and losses more than anyone else!
Hearing his words, Liu Weichao could understand his worries. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Do you know what our future generations will say about you at this time?"
Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know what Liu Weichao meant by what he said, so he replied curiously: "How do you say it?"
Seeing that his attention had been attracted, Liu Weichao continued to smile and said: "The late Ming Dynasty was a bad era. It just depends on who is worse! According to the order, the Mongols are the worst, the Ming army is second, and the Jianlu are slightly better.
However, it didn’t say how strong Jianlu really is!”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's old face turned red. He and Liu Weichao had talked too much, and he immediately understood what Liu Weichao meant by saying that the army was dead!
It doesn't mean that the individual soldiers are not good, but that the imperial court and the emperor are not good enough. He destroyed the Ming army by force. The border troops were so hungry that their wives and children were scattered, and they had to rebel in order to survive.
How can we still fight this?
While he was thinking about it, Liu Weichao continued: "The reason why Jianlu is dead is because the total population of Jianlu is there. Excluding the elderly, children and women, how many young and strong people can there be? They all go into battle together."
, how many people are there? Moreover, Liaodong is barren and lacks materials, how strong can they be? That is to say, the surrounding forces are too bad, which gives Jianlu a chance to develop. If there is really a strong showdown, nothing else
, you ask Qi Jiajun to go to Liaodong, and I guarantee that the land will be properly sorted for you."
Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was some truth in what he said. But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. It was really embarrassing to build captives like this and fight against the imperial officers and soldiers!
"You held back a big move this time and prepared such a big gift for Jianlu who entered the customs. Instead of worrying about whether you can win this battle, I think you should worry about something else..."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately felt nervous. What else should he worry about? Did he not think of it?
So, he quickly asked: "What should I worry about?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled and replied: "You should be worried about whether your reward is enough? I can tell you that the reason why Jianlu is better than you all is because they have made rewards and punishments clear! If you want rewards and punishments unclear,
If the promises made are not fulfilled, it will definitely have a negative impact on the morale of the military."
"..." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
He thought there was something he had omitted or failed to do that would affect the war.
Unexpectedly, what Liu Weichao said was the silver reward after the victory.
But after listening to what Liu Weichao said, Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses and thought about it. It seemed that it was true. If he really won a great victory and could annihilate the Jianlu who entered the pass, the silver reward alone would be more than a million taels, right?
In the past, just thinking about this would scare people to death!
But now, when Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he smiled and said: "I am absolutely clear about rewards and punishments, and I have a golden tongue. How can I go back on what I have said? Isn't it just money? I have plenty of it!"
He had spent less than half of the money he had collected from the eight major Shanxi merchants. It was enough to cope with this great victory! Therefore, he had enough confidence to say this.
After that, even if the money is almost used up, it would be no problem to ask Jiangnan to ship over five million taels of silver.
At this time, after Emperor Chongzhen communicated with Liu Weichao, his worries were relieved. Then, he remembered that Liu Weichao initiated this video communication, and asked curiously: "By the way, are you looking for me for something?"
"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I have something to do with you!"
At this point, before Emperor Chongzhen asked, he smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you before that I was going to change my mobile phone to test whether the mobile phone you have can be changed?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately became interested. He nodded quickly and said, "I remember this happened. You also said that my mobile phone is the shadow mobile phone of yours. Is that what you mean?"
"Yes!" Liu Weichao listened, nodded with a smile and said, "I'm just going to test whether my idea is right. No, I said the foldable phone has arrived. I'll try it with another phone soon. You just wait and see.
look."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very excited and nodded quickly and said: "Okay!"
As soon as he said the words, he suddenly remembered something, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked: "Wait, wait, if... I mean just in case, if it doesn't work, then I won't be able to contact you, right?"
"
If this is the case, then he is absolutely unwilling to change his mobile phone.
Liu Weichao also thought about this and immediately replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "You don't have to worry about this. If it doesn't work, I'll just change it back to the original phone. It should be fine."
In fact, it can only be said with a high probability that there is no problem. But what if it happens? For Liu Weichao, worrying about such a thing is useless. If you worry about the possibility all day long, you may choke on drinking water.
What should I do if I die?
Therefore, he wanted to try it.
Even if it is irreversible, he will cut off contact with Emperor Chongzhen from now on. He now has tens of millions of money in his hands, and Emperor Chongzhen also has a trump card, so he can live a good life anyway!
If Liu Weichao was older, he might still be immobile and unwilling to change. But at this time, Liu Weichao had graduated less than two years ago and had no wife, no, not even a girlfriend. He was still young.
, the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers refers to this stage.
Therefore, after comforting Emperor Chongzhen, he hung up the video communication, turned off his cell phone, and started using another cell phone.
Emperor Chongzhen actually had nothing to do with Liu Weichao, so he put his phone in front of him and stared at it to see if there would be any changes.
In his heart, there was worry and anxiety, and of course, there was also some expectation.
Queen Zhou next to her naturally heard the conversation, and like him, she stared at her phone without blinking.
