Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 764: Five Years of Ping Liao

The war in Gaizhou came to an end, and Emperor Chongzhen also compiled the relevant information in his hands.

Adding up the battles before and after Gaizhou, 156 New Army soldiers were killed and 460 wounded. It is estimated that 2,000 Jianlu soldiers were killed and countless others were injured. It is impossible to count. About 5,000 Mongolians were killed. It was impossible to tell which tribe had more people killed.

Looking at this data, Emperor Chongzhen sighed. It is said that when the Qi Jiajun fought in the past, many of them died in zero battles. There is still a gap!

With this in mind, he issued an order to summon several of his close ministers in the group. For example, Wen Tiren, the first assistant, Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the rites, Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory.

As soon as they arrived, he said to them: "The war in Gaizhou is basically over!"

When the ministers heard this, they were all very concerned. Wen Tiren immediately asked: "Your Majesty, how is the war going?"

"Oh, it's not very good!" Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and sighed, "I can only say it's average!"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he was surprised at first, and then he sounded relieved. It would be great if he could win.

With this thought in mind, he asked again: "I don't know what the details are? I'd better be prepared for a rainy day!"

So, Emperor Chongzhen went through the statistical situation and said: "I hope that fewer soldiers will die next time!"

"..." Everyone was speechless. Is this normal? Not satisfied yet? What do you need to do to be satisfied?

Such a great victory is far from the so-called great victory during the Apocalypse. This is a real great victory!

Before they could speak, Emperor Chongzhen spoke again and said conclusively: "I have given you permission to go and see it. I think that this time we were well prepared and many soldiers died. It is related to death. But I feel that after such a real battle, Jianlu will not have the same morale as before!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly noticed that the ministers below were all staying there, and he knew in his heart that these ministers could not wait to see the pictures of the scene!

Really, all of them are so old and still so restless! Forget it, let them take a look first!

After a while, Cao Huachun was the first to exit the chat group and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, this is a great victory! When I looked at the body of Jianlu where he died, I was so happy!"

After hearing what he said, Wen Tiren, Liu Xingzuo and others also withdrew from the chat group and congratulated the emperor with smiles on their faces.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hands to them and finally had a smile on his face. It’s a good New Year gift, I should be able to talk about it in the Ancestral Temple!”

Wen Tiren always felt that the emperor seemed too calm and looked down upon such a great victory. He couldn't help but be curious, what influence made the emperor really happy?

Thinking this, he immediately asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, I wonder what impact you are referring to?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you tell me, I will be happy!" Cao Huachun demanded. He actually knew in his heart that the emperor was waiting for this sentence.

Wang Chengen didn't speak, not because he didn't want to talk, but because he had the lowest qualifications here and couldn't interrupt.

Of course Emperor Chongzhen had something to say: "After this battle, Jianlu not only consumed their small food supply, but also lost their troops. I predict that there will probably be civil strife."

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo nodded and agreed: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Many people are not convinced when Huang Taiji ascends the throne as emperor. In the past, Mang Gurtai was one, and Amin was also one. In addition, The two brothers Dorgon and Dodo are likely to make moves as well."

He has worked for Jianlu for a long time, and he can be said to be the most authoritative about the internal relations of Jianlu. Therefore, when he spoke in agreement, the smile on Wen Tiren's face became even wider.

Emperor Chongzhen also smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Secondly, the Mongols ran away without saying goodbye as soon as the war ended. From now on, they will probably never mix with the Jianlu again. In addition, I have spread among them The news is, if you don’t want to annihilate your tribe, you have the only way to follow the Chahar Tribe’s example!”

This is another unexpected surprise that cannot be seen in the photo. Without the help of the Mongolian tribes, Jianlu's strength will be greatly reduced. Moreover, if the Mongolian tribe surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty would indeed increase. At this time, if it is said that it will be equal to Liao in five years, it will be more credible!

Wen Tiren thought about the changes in military strength in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and thought that destroying Jianlu would be a sign of hope, and his beard could not help but twitch with excitement. You know, the disaster of Jianlu has been getting more and more serious since the Wanli period. As a result, when he was the chief minister, he actually saw the hope of destroying Jianlu!

To be honest, Wen Tiren felt a little unbelievable. I feel like I haven't done much, the emperor has always been commanding from a distance, and unknowingly it's reversed!

Thinking about it carefully, in the past, countless money and food were spent, but the war was defeated again and again. Now, it seems that I don't have much to worry about money and food!

The source of the money was that the emperor quietly investigated the Shanxi businessmen's affair with the captives, ransacked the houses and came out with a lot of money, and solved the problem without adding any burden to the people.

The food was shipped from Annan. In addition, the Dongjiang Army and the New Army stole a large amount of food from the Jianlu captives several times, but they did not cause the court to worry much, let alone burden the people.

If these money and food matters had been changed in the past, I don't know how many people would have been destroyed! The emperor was sitting in the Forbidden City, but he solved the most difficult problem.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren suddenly felt a little ashamed again. He felt that as the chief assistant, he did not contribute much in the war against Liao. In the future, he would be worthy of being named in Qingshi!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had finished talking about those influences, and then stated the purpose of calling his ministers here this time: "There are a few things I need you to do."

"Your Majesty, please give me your order!" Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren and others immediately bowed and stood by.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and said slowly: "I estimate that there will always be a few Mongolian tribes who will surrender to the Ming Dynasty in order to survive. But the burden brought by this is the food problem. Wen Qing took the lead in this matter, and He Gui Governor Hua will make a calculation to see how the existing food situation is, how many tribes can be supported to surrender, and if there is not enough food, where can we allocate it from so that things will not be delayed?"

This was a precautionary measure, and Wen Tiren immediately agreed.
