Chongzhen Chat Group

In the evening, Li Dingguo reported the results of the battle to Emperor Chongzhen in the chat group.

The largest force in the Hetao Plain, Lin Dan Khan's army was destroyed. More than 5,000 people from Lin Dan Khan and his son Ezhe died in total. The remaining 30,000 Chahar Mongolians all surrendered. The highest-ranking living people are the two left-wing generals Hu. Ruksesan and Tashhaysesan. There were a little less than 10,000 young and strong people available, and the rest were mostly old, weak, women and children, and countless cattle, horses and sheep were captured.

Of the five thousand bandits who fled to the grassland, there are now only more than two thousand. The rest, including bandit leaders Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong, were all killed in the battle with the Mongols, and there was no further trouble.

In addition, the guerrilla general Li Guo seized the jade seal passed down from the country. After preliminary verification, there was no sign of forgery.

…

Guihua City, the pearl outside the Great Wall, is already flying the flag of our Ming Dynasty!

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see it, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away through the chat group. How happy!

After this battle, the Ming Dynasty, Qin and Jin Dynasties no longer had to worry about sleeping in the north. With the Hetao Plain in hand, it provided the best solution for the Ming Dynasty to survive the Little Ice Age. In the original history, the bandits that originated from the Qin and Jin Dynasties would no longer appear, or there would not be such large-scale turmoil, which would also alleviate the pressure on the Central Plains to resist disasters. One of the two most important reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty has been basically solved.

What made Emperor Chongzhen even more satisfied was that the results of the grassland war were far better than he expected. Key figures such as Lin Danhan and Wang Jiayin were not able to escape, and they also got the imperial seal that they didn't care much about. This would have the effect of assisting the subsequent slap in the face.

After being very happy, Emperor Chongzhen ordered in the temporary group: "Tell Hong Zhongcheng that someone in the capital is making trouble and belittling his efforts. Therefore, the success of this war should be reported to me with great fanfare, so that Everyone in the world knows that Hong Chengchou won a great victory and opened up the territory for our Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Dingguo agreed after hearing this.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Li Dingguo's speech, he smiled again and said: "Xiao Dingguo, the grassland war is over. You should also return to the capital with the victory report and report to the capital's junior military preparation hall! In the future, your fighting skills will still come here. Good at learning!"

"Ah..." Li Dingguo was a little surprised, but it was the emperor's order, and he didn't dare to refuse, or he was a little excited to go to the capital, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After agreeing, he still remembered his duty and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, who will deliver the news to Hong Zhongcheng?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but nodded. Although this Li Dingguo is young, he still knows how to hand over work, which is very good.

With this in mind, he ordered: "Gao Yingyuan should stay for now, and Cao Wenzhao can return to the Ningjin front line."

After a while, after Hong Chengchou finished listening to Li Dingguo's narration, he stared at Li Dingguo in a daze for a while. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Compared with others, this man is really incomparable!

I remember that back then, I had studied hard for many years and was admitted to the Jinshi. Then I had been in the officialdom for many years. I even took the risk of leading hundreds of servants to fight against thousands of thieves, and then I slowly fell into the eyes of the Holy Spirit. But this little guy, at such a young age, has fallen into the Holy Eyes, and he is the kind that he particularly likes. His ancestors have been blessed for many lifetimes!

However, Hong Chengchou also understood that when the news of success reached the capital, he would definitely be promoted one step higher. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately recalled the day he had a drink with Sun Chuanting to say goodbye. He knew that Sun Chuanting didn't take others seriously and wanted to compete with him after making enough money. Haha, now, I feel embarrassed!

Thinking this, he came back to his senses and immediately began to think about the next thing. The annihilation of Lin Dan Khan's troops and the capture of Guihua City are only the first step. There are still many things to do next.

Although many matters had to wait for the good news to reach the capital and the emperor hold a meeting to discuss, it would still take a lot of thought to send a large army to sweep the surrounding areas and carve out enough safe space for the Hetao Plain. There are also the surrendered Mongols, bandits, etc., who also need to be appeased, and food and grass have to be allocated from within the pass. There are really a lot of things to do!

But the first step now is to go to the capital to report victory with great fanfare!

In the following days, Emperor Chongzhen mostly stayed in the harem to enhance his relationship with his concubines. The public opinion in the capital became more and more fierce. Wen Tiren, the chief minister, could not sit still and even wanted to report to the emperor in person.

After these superficial things spread, it further encouraged the spread of the capital's ulterior motives. There are people whispering in the streets, alleys, restaurants, teahouses, etc.

"Have you heard that our chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty is about to be replaced!"

"Are you saying that the chief assistant has been ignored by the emperor? I have already said that this matter will happen sooner or later! Listen to what the capital is saying now. In my opinion, it is better to retire as soon as possible before things get out of hand. It’s the countryside!”

"Wen Shoufu can still retire and return to his hometown, but Mr. Xue Ge has done everything possible. I'm afraid he won't even be able to retire and return to his hometown! I bet a hundred taels of silver that Xue Ge will be imprisoned in less than half a year. Disaster!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Xue Ge is true! The emperor is young, and it is understandable that he is a little overjoyed. But why can't Mr. Xue Ge see the significance of the Liaodong War? He still wants to squeeze the squires to please those warriors. This is really putting the cart before the horse! Do you believe it or not? , as long as the border army loses a battle, no matter how big or small, something will happen to him immediately!"

"Yes, Governor Denglai killed a lot of Jianlu prisoners in Changli, and he is indeed known as the bravest of the three armies. But over in Qin and Jin, even a bandit is so fierce, how can he get the fighting power? I bet two hundred Two pieces of silver, something will happen to Mr. Xue Ge!"

"..."

At night, in a study room of a certain mansion, a servant was reporting what he saw outside. This made the owner very happy, and he gave him a five-tael note and went out.

When he was the only one left in the study, he couldn't help but walk to a mural and press the button. The mural rose up, revealing a hidden compartment with a box about one foot tall hidden inside.

He took out the box, sat back in his seat, opened the box, and looked at the brand new five-tael banknotes inside, and a smile appeared on his face.

This banknote is so good that one hundred thousand taels can be put in a small box. Later, I'll see if I want to suggest it to the emperor to increase the face value a little bit, so that I can hide more!

After stroking the paper-scented money for a while, he couldn't help but think again, the public opinion in the capital was now so effective that it was unimaginable, and even the emperor in the palace was affected. Is it time to take the next step?

Thinking of this, he hesitated a little.

This chapter was not written smoothly, a little late.
