Daming Military Empire

Chapter 150 Liaodong Complete Recovery
Huang Taiji was defeated and fled, and the Mongolian soldiers in Shengjing were also frightened and fled in all directions. A great battle ended so hastily. The Ming army won a complete victory and took the capital of Houjin, Liaodong. Full recovery is just around the corner.

Zhu Cijiong was not overwhelmed by the joy of victory. What he cared most about was the casualties of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The statistical results were soon presented. The Tianxiong Army, the Qin Army, the Dongjiang Army and the First Army of the Imperial Guards were all fine. , less than [-]% of the people were killed in battle, but there were more injuries. The Guanning Army was miserable. The number of people killed in battle reached more than [-].

The Guanning Army suffered such heavy casualties that Zhu Cijiong lost the mood to eat breakfast. After a quick drink of porridge, he took Sun Chengzong and his entourage to the Guanning Army camp.

The Guanning Army camp was full of wounded soldiers at this time, and there were painful groans everywhere, and even the soldiers on guard and patrolling the camp were covered with blood-oozing white cloths all over their bodies. Heroic soldiers of Ming Dynasty, what can he do for them?

He was contemplating, but Cao Wenzhao came up with several generals supported by Cao Bianjiao. Seeing that Cao Wenzhao and others were about to kneel down to salute, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, generals."

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Cijiong sighed, "I want to thank you. If you hadn't repelled the main force of slavery, I am afraid this battle would not have been so easy to win."

Cao Wenzhao was flattered and moved: "Your Majesty, this is the job of a humble minister, and should not be praised like this."

However, Zhu Cijiong said firmly: "What is deserved and not deserved, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, I will talk about these later, first take me to see the seriously injured soldiers."

Cao Wenzhao was taken aback when he heard the words, and he didn't know where he took the emperor. He was basically seriously injured, and those who were slightly injured were on guard patrol.After thinking about it, he simply took Zhu Cijiong to the nearest military tents.

Cao Bianjiao gently opened the curtain of the military tent in front, and a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixed with the smell of blood and sweat rushed towards him. Zhu Cijiong held back his nausea and pretended to be nonchalant, walked to the curtain and took a look inside. There are only four or five people lying in the military tent, which is quite spacious, but the people lying there are more terrifying. Basically, they are all covered in white cloth, blood is oozing everywhere, and they are all lying there moaning unconsciously. Woolen cloth.

After looking at a few tents, they basically looked like this. Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but frowned, and turned to ask Cao Wenzhao, "Why don't they even have a caretaker? What if they want to drink water or eat? manage?"

Cao Wenzhao replied with embarrassment on his face: "Well, my minister, there is no one, everyone who can move has gone to stand guard and patrol."

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is not possible, the weather is so hot, and the military tents are so stuffy, it will suffocate people to death, pass an order to let all the first regiment of the Imperial Guard come over, carry them all to the city, and find some The shady yards are settled, and 4 people are left to look after them."

A Jin Yiwei general in the back line obeyed his orders, and Cao Wenzhao cupped his hands moved again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Take me to see the fallen soldiers."

Cao Wenzhao hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, but finally he gritted his teeth and led Zhu Cijiong to the right side of the camp. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he came outside the camp.

I saw row after row of corpses on the wide plain outside the camp, probably not a few miles wide, and extending forward for nearly a mile, giving people the feeling that they can't see the end at a glance.

Looking at the rows of mutilated corpses in front of him, Zhu Cijiong was so shocked that he couldn't speak, only felt his nose sore, and tears burst out uncontrollably.

Everyone was silent for a while, Sun Chengzong was the first to come back to his senses, he wiped the tears from his face, and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, the weather is too hot, I'm afraid it won't work if you keep on like this, you have to go to the ground as soon as possible."

Zhu Cijiong stared blankly at him when he heard the words, and then turned to look at Cao Wenzhao. He really didn't know what to say. The battalion was full of seriously wounded people who couldn't even move, so how could they bury the bodies.

Sure enough, when Cao Wenzhao saw the emperor looking at him, he immediately showed embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this, this, the Guan Ning Army has less than 1000 people to move, and General Qin helped us clean up this battlefield. There are countless horse corpses and Jiannu corpses in the distance, and we can't clean them up. We have to bury so many soldiers, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."

As soon as Zhu Cijiong heard the word "bang", he immediately had an idea. He looked back at the endless camp, and issued a decisive decree: "The decree, the Guanning Army, the Tianxiong Army and the Imperial Guard Army are the first. The legion immediately moved into the city, and the Qin army and Dongjiang army moved to set up camp under the city wall. The wooden fence of the camp should not be demolished. In the afternoon, the Qin army and Dongjiang army were asked to bury the fallen soldiers. Each soldier had to be buried separately. Write down all the names, and make tombstones for them uniformly at that time. In the future, this camp will be changed to the Liaodong Martyrs Cemetery. After the war, take a good rest and let their relatives have a place to pay their respects."

Everyone was moved when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but praise the emperor's wisdom. Zhu Cijiong was immune to these things. After everyone stopped talking, he asked with concern: "Where is Old General Zhao?"

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly replied: "Bianjiao has already moved him back to the camp."

Zhu Cijiong nodded when he heard the words: "Well, there is no other way for the other soldiers to keep things simple, but General Zhao must be buried generously, so let's bury him in the very center of the mausoleum."

Everyone respectfully agreed, and Zhu Cijiong didn't stay any longer. After returning to the imperial tent to deal with some trivial matters, he moved into Shengjing City with the army.

After this battle, Liaodong can be said to have been settled. Only the two small cities of Tielingwei and Liaohaiwei have not yet been recovered. Zhu Cijiong is not in a hurry. After this battle, the army must rest and the wounded will need time to recover. Even if there is a battlefield, it must be cleaned up. In such a hot day, if you are not careful, it will cause plague, and then you will be in big trouble.

The army is resting, and Zhu Cijiong is not idle. First of all, it is natural to deal with rewards and pensions. The soldiers are fighting bloody battles for Daming. Without procrastination, as soon as the military merits of each legion were reported, they immediately sent a fast horse to notify the capital, and immediately sent the money over.As for the pensions for the fallen soldiers, it was ordered that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households handle it immediately, and the pensions must be distributed to the families of the fallen soldiers within one month.

Also, Zhu Cijiong felt uncomfortable calling Shengjing Shengjing, so he decided to change the name of Shengjing to Guan Ning to commemorate the soldiers who died in the battle, and at the same time commend the bravery of the Guan Ning army in this war Performance.

After the rewards and pensions are completed, the next step is to replenish the war damage. It’s not enough for the Ming Dynasty to finish the battle of Liaodong. Zhu Cijiong’s ambitions have been hooked up. In the future, he will expand the territory and colonize overseas. Battles will naturally be indispensable, so this army has battle damage. It must be replenished in time.

As for the source of troops, Zhu Cijiong doesn't have to worry about it. There are countless guards in Liaodong, Shandong and Beizhili. It is the first-class legion of the Ming Dynasty. The food and salary and treatment are several times higher than that of ordinary soldiers. The Qin army and the Dongjiang army are also the second-class army of the Ming Dynasty. The guards were naturally scrambling to make up for the battle damage of these legions.

Zhu Cijiong saw that so many guards were going to send people here, so how could it work? This is my elite army, and it is not easy to enter. In the end, he simply sent the generals of each army to the guards in various places to personally select. The general was in charge of a guard post, so it didn't take much time. In less than a month, the battle damage was replenished.

In the end, the publicity naturally had to keep up. Zhu Cijiong called Chen Yutai to him again and asked him to come up with an article "Guanning Iron Cavalry", which mainly talked about the heroic performance of the Guanning Army in this Liaodong War. If you blow it properly, it probably means that you are a slave, aren't you a bull? In the end, you gathered all the elites and even a second-class army of Ming Dynasty couldn't do anything. When the reinforcements of the Imperial Guard arrived, they were immediately defeated and fled , it can be seen how powerful Daming's army is, and Jiannu will brag!
When Chen Yutai heard this, he rolled his eyes, obviously you were bragging, and you said that others would!Of course, no matter how bragging Zhu Cijiong is, he has to write seriously, who calls someone the emperor.

After resting for a month, Zhu Cijiong finally couldn't sit still, and he called the generals of each army and Sun Chengzong together to discuss the next battle plan.

The first is the question of whether to attack Jianzhou or not. After all, Houjin developed from Jianzhou. If they are left alone, they may rush to Liaodong to make trouble again.

Regarding this problem, the generals of the legions are naturally shouting and beating everyone. The so-called eradication of evil, this slave has no humanity. It has been raging in Liaodong for so many years, and the common people in Liaodong are almost destroyed. Naturally, they must be exterminated to relieve their hearts. hate.

However, Zhenguo Gongsun Chengzong did not approve of attacking Jianzhou immediately, and his reasons were very good.This Liaodong War did not cause much damage to Jiannu. The Ming army wiped out most of the Mongolian soldiers who were servants. The real Jurchen soldiers were not wiped out. It is conservatively estimated that Huang Taiji still has at least [-] troops under his command.Moreover, the terrain around Jianzhou is very complicated. There are deep mountains and dense forests everywhere. People who are not familiar with it will get lost when they go in. Hundreds of thousands of troops marched in. Not to mention the difficulty of marching, it is very likely that the main force of Jiannu will not be found at all.At that time, they will be defeated by Jiannu one by one, repeating the tragedy of Saarhu's defeat.

Therefore, he suggested that the fortress be advanced, step by step, and the fortress be built all the way to Jianzhou City, and see what other tricks Huang Taiji can play!
Zhu Cijiong hesitated again and again, but still adopted Sun Chengzong's suggestion. Although this would take time and money, it was quite safe. Daming now does not lack time and money. Build a bunker.

Now that it is decided to advance the fortress, attacking Jianzhou is not within the scope of consideration in this Liaodong War. The rest is to recover the two cities of Tielingwei and Liaohaiwei.

These two cities are not big cities, even worse than Jinzhouwei and Fuzhouwei. Zhu Cijiong didn't bother to mobilize the army and ran over to attack in person. He directly asked each of the Qin Army and Dongjiang Army to be in charge of one, and the Tianxiong Army followed suit. In the past, I took care of it in the middle to prevent Huang Taiji from making any mistakes. As for the Guanning Army and the First Army of the Imperial Guard, they stayed in Guanning City to prevent Huang Taiji from counterattacking.

To Zhu Cijiong's surprise, Sun Chuanting sent someone to report the next afternoon, and the Tieling guards fled; the next night, Mao Wenlong sent someone to report again, and the Liaohai guards abandoned the city and fled!
Zhu Cijiong was stunned, this, this, this, did Liaodong recover in this way?How much pain, how much humiliation, even when Jin escaped in hope of the wind!
In fact, it is not surprising that how many defenders Tielingwei and Liaohaiwei could have. The reason why they did not leave was just a fluke, hoping that the Ming army would take down Shengjing, and they would not fight north again.Now that the Ming army is here, they will naturally run away, and wait for death if they don't run!
Just when Zhu Cijiong was stunned, something even more surprising happened: the long-lost voice of the beauty of the system reappeared in his mind!
