After Dorgon's defeat, he did not come to Luerling to seek compensation.
Five thousand Ming troops and thirty thousand regiments lived in the mountains. After the infantry led by Dorgon was completely lost, the cavalry had to be the main force.
Letting the cavalry abandon their horses and attack the mountain is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse, unless Dorgon doesn't want to leave.
A certain prince believed that Dorgon would not retreat from Xifengkou again, otherwise he would not have many men left.
The defense of Yongping Mansion is not as strong as that of Shuntian Mansion, so finding a gap to escape from the east is a good choice.
As for how much you can grab before running away, that depends on the braid's ability.
After losing most of the infantry, this braided army will undoubtedly advance much faster.
A certain prince doesn't want to lead his men to eat ashes behind their butts. You can rob them as much as you like.
Feel free to play as you like!
After the battle on the bank of the Luan River, Dorgon's braided army had basically lost the ability to conquer the big cities in the pass.
At best, they would only attack small towns. A more reasonable option would be to directly rob money and food from large households in the countryside.
To this day, many wealthy gentry in Jifu area are still disobeying the rules and are unwilling to pay the full agricultural tax.
Shuntian Mansion received only a fraction of the money, and a certain prince just laughed it off as he was worried about Li Shiwen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.
As for the countermeasure, it is very simple. Pay grain according to the land area in the household registration.
Every large household is allowed to have a certain deviation, and the half of the population with the greatest deviation are prohibited from entering the city during wartime.
The nearest city is not allowed to enter. If you want to take refuge in another city, you must provide a receipt for paying food.
A family needs one hundred thousand taels of silver, or fifty thousand shi of grain, to exchange for one!
A certain prince never forced these people to buy vouchers, whether it cost them money or their lives, everything was done voluntarily!
If the civil servants and generals somewhere are deliberately shielding such people, after verification, the court can take action.
You pay his taxes! You are responsible for his sin!
The main culprit’s family is fine, but the person who shielded them will be severely punished!
Is it fair?
Of course it's not fair!
This kind of injustice is what a certain prince wants!
With such a huge disparity, the protector must weigh the corresponding consequences before considering whether to accept the benefits.
If these wealthy gentry who owe taxes are detained and sent to the court for punishment, civil and military officials will receive huge rewards.
In general, it will not be less than three months' monthly salary, and at least the New Year's money can be put into your pocket.
What this group of rich gentry did was no different from the profiteers in Jiangnan. After beating Huang Taiji until his vitality was severely damaged, a certain prince would deal with them!
In order to avoid being ambushed by the braided cavalry, a certain prince did not let the Ming troops pursue him at all.
The Japanese army killed about 25,000 braids in two summers and one winter.
The Ming army wiped out almost 75,000 braids in one city and one field.
Adding the two items together, it’s just enough for 100,000!
If you include the wrapping, it will go straight to 150,000...
Killing one hundred thousand armored soldiers in three years is definitely an unprecedented achievement.
After returning in triumph, it was totally worth bragging about in the "Jingshi Daily"!
The most important thing is that not many main forces were killed in this battle. Including the French and German forces, less than 300 of the entire army died in the battle and less than 4,000 were injured, including some losers who slipped and sprained their ankles while walking on the snowy road.
A certain prince's subordinates brought a large number of vehicles, and they came here to load more grain and coal for long-term use.
When the supplies on the car are almost consumed, a large number of sick and wounded can be carried on the return trip.
The sick and wounded who have enjoyed tangible benefits are naturally extremely grateful to the prince for this wise decision.
Walking from the battlefield to the capital is an almost impossible task for those with leg injuries.
It's much more comfortable to ride in a car. As long as you cover yourself with a fur jacket and keep yourself warm, you can probably save your life.
The seriously injured were placed on the spot in Zunhua, and a certain prince did not hesitate to give Zhenling, a bottle of special medicine worth ten thousand taels of silver, to the dog leg.
Shushuang comes with one box per person, so even if there are a few cuts on your hands, you can still apply it.
Before departure, a certain prince had already informed Wu Youxing that the army hospital would free up a large number of beds to accommodate the wounded in service.
Judging from the specific post-war situation, it is still relatively optimistic. The number of casualties is completely within the acceptable range. This is one of the main reasons why a certain prince was unwilling to send troops to pursue Dorgon.
The situation on the Japanese side was very different. Due to the previous fight with the pigtails at Xifengkou, there were a lot of casualties. More than 700 people were killed and 5,000 sick and wounded.
As long as they are still alive, they need to be treated as soon as possible. If the fight continues, a certain prince will not be able to afford the medical network, so this battle can only end here!
The Japanese army cannot easily withdraw from the Great Wall defense line for repairs yet. A certain prince will not spare them money and food, but will first let them stay until spring.
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, 1641 AD, New Year's Eve fell on February 9th.
On the day when a certain prince's teacher returned to the court, there were still seven days before the Chinese New Year, and the beginning of spring was on February 5th.
Despite this, the people in the city did not dare to put up window grilles or Spring Festival couplets, and there were no red lanterns at all.
Fireworks and firecrackers are strictly prohibited in the city. Fireworks are military flares and firecrackers can easily be mistaken for enemy shelling.
A curfew is implemented at 7pm every night and is not lifted until 7am. During this period, the streets are patrolled by factory guards and officers and soldiers.
This was the case during the war, especially when the main force of the King's Division came out of the city to face the Donglu army, which caused the whole city to be on high alert, and everyone was tensing their nerves for fear of being attacked by the Donglu.
The only reason I don’t dare to post those New Year stuff is that they are red, symbolizing happiness.
But once the king's master is defeated, or even if something happens to the prince, can you immediately tear him down?
Newlyweds are not allowed to get married, let alone hold mass funerals, and white events are even more unlucky. Even at home, they can only simply go out of the city for burial.
Two to three million people were just staring at each other, waiting for the battle report from the front line.
If you win, you will be happy and the gloom will be gone.
Otherwise, men, women, and children will have to continue to endure it...
After the news of Master Wang's victory was verified, the city was abuzz with excitement that day.
It doesn't matter if firecrackers are not allowed above, we can play gongs and drums, and dance dragons and lions!
"Let's just say, when the prince sets out, he will definitely win a great victory!"
"Isn't that right? The prince is deeply familiar with the true legacy of His Majesty the Great Emperor Gao, and with Liu Bowen's military support, he can naturally defeat the dog Tatars!"
"Did you hear that? We killed tens of thousands of dog Tatars again!"
"Hahahaha! The Ming Dynasty and ZTE are in sight!"
After the news of the great victory spread, it seemed that in an instant, everyone in the city, regardless of all walks of life, became experts in flattering!
Now the prepared Spring Festival couplets, window grilles, lanterns, and red clothes no longer need to be hidden, and can be taken out in a big way.
Because of the great victory achieved by the King, some shameless people, even if they were not married, had to wear red clothes to take advantage of their good fortune.
The euphemistic name is - Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! Congratulations to Master Wang! Congratulations to the Crown Prince!
Merchants selling fireworks and firecrackers are still waiting for the notice from the Ministry of Revenue to lift the lockdown, because according to reports from the front, Donglu has not yet exited the customs.
Currently, Jifu is still at war, and the defenders everywhere will not relax easily and will be on strict alert.
Xue Guoguan, the chief minister in charge of the old city, believed that setting off firecrackers was definitely not allowed. Even if they were to be set off, they would have to wait until the prospective son-in-law returned to the city.
As for the beating of gongs and drums, that can be relaxed a bit, as long as it does not hinder the defenders from mobilizing troops and the factory guards can patrol normally.
The happiest person was naturally Empress Zhou. Her eldest son was able to win the victory and defeat the Donglu, thanks to the blessing of His Majesty Taizu Gao.
After the eldest son led the army to the expedition, Queen Zhou had trouble sleeping and eating every day. She didn't even play her beloved mahjong and just waited in Kunning Palace for news from the front.
I called my in-law Xue Guoguan three times every day in the morning, noon and evening to inquire about the situation of my in-law Xue Guoguan, who was on duty at the Military Aircraft Department. He seemed restless and uneasy when there was no battle report.
It was not until the good news came that I was relieved. The two daughters-in-law, who were beautiful and had outstanding figures, no longer had to be widowed at such a young age...
The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief. Now he no longer had to act as the puppet of those old men after his brother died in the battlefield, otherwise he would be played to death by them.
From now on, we will still have to eat, drink and have fun, uh ~ entertaining and educating...
King Dingzhong of the Ming Dynasty had no interest in political affairs or military affairs, but was very interested in eating, drinking and having fun!
Now that my brother has returned triumphantly, I can resume my old career!
I’m playing in Daming now and going to Europe in the future, so I won’t miss either one!
The little fat house definitely doesn't want to be as tired as his brother.
Since my brother is so talented and capable, I don’t need to worry about the court and can concentrate on relaxing and having fun!
When entering the city from Desheng Gate, a certain prince's chariot was not walking in front of him. In front of him was a convoy transporting the wounded.
The wounded must be sent to the Army Hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Those who are completely unharmed should wait a little longer to enter the city.
This move made the civil and military officials who welcomed Master Wang's triumphant news think that the good news was false, that Master Wang had lost the battle, and that the prince deliberately acted like this.
Regarding this, Xue Guoguan didn't know what the specific situation was, so he could only remain silent and watch the changes.
For him, it is enough as long as the prospective son-in-law can come back alive and marry his daughter.
Other things are insignificant and trivial. Even if they cannot be solved now, they can be put aside and discussed later.
At the beginning, only Desheng Gate was used. Because there were too many convoys and it took too long to enter the city through only one gate, Anding Gate, Dongzhi Gate and Zhongcheng were also opened to allow Wang Shi to enter the city.
When the people saw so many wounded, it was hard to believe that Master Wang had won the battle.
When a certain prince saw his father-in-law's expression of wanting to know more about it, he knew what he was thinking.
But...
Let’s talk about it when we get back. I won’t answer your questions outside.
On a cold day, drink to your heart's content, don't do it!
"Mother!"
"Brother Hong! Let your mother take a look!"
My beautiful biological mother has been waiting here in the East Palace for a long time. If it weren't for the cold weather outside, she would have taken people out to wait.
The eldest son returned triumphantly, and it seemed that he was still missing his arms and legs. As the biological mother, after a careful inspection, she finally felt relieved.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, your sons and ministers are unscathed!"
"Brother Xun makes the queen worried!"
After saying that, the beautiful mother even wiped her tears in public, seemingly very sad.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. This time the King's Master has achieved a great victory, Queen Mother must be happy!"
"What Brother Xun said is that if you just lead the troops to fight and sleep in the open, it will be difficult for Brother Xun to make good use of food. The Queen Mother will prepare it now!"
After the beautiful biological mother was so excited, she no longer even needed the food supervisor, and was ready to take charge of it herself to reward her precious son.
"My dear friends, we meet again. How are you?"
Returning to the East Palace, everyone who is qualified to come to the audience has already passed the time to join in the fun, and maybe they are just here to get a meal.
"Your Highness...I don't know..."
Xue Guoguan didn't know whether he should raise the questions in his heart at this time, but he still whispered half a sentence.
"Did Aiqing see too many wounded soldiers entering the city for treatment and think that the king's division was defeated?"
"...I don't dare!"
"There is no need to worry. It is absolutely true that we can defeat the Donglu and defeat Dorgon. But how can we fight without killing people? We were able to kill 30,000 Donglu armored soldiers this time, and the Wang division suffered minimal losses. This is already considered a blessing. Love. Most of the wounded soldiers you saw were Japanese soldiers and European mercenaries. The official army did not lose many people. Including Japanese soldiers and mercenaries, the entire army had less than 2,000 killed and less than 10,000 injured. The number of men and horses that were lost was more than three times that of the King's division, because as many as 30,000 people were killed alone. Anyone who doesn't believe it can dig graves by the Luan River! There are a bunch of giant tombs there, which are easy to identify. I will admit my mistake!”
"It is really gratifying to congratulate Your Highness, Wen Zhi, for your martial arts skills and the power of our Ming Dynasty. This battle has won a great victory, and your name will surely go down in history!"
After hearing what his prospective son-in-law said, Xue Guoguan felt relieved.
At least between their father-in-law and son-in-law, they should not lie to themselves.
Killed 30,000 armored soldiers...
How many people must this be?
The battles of Saerhu, Shenyang, Liaoyang, Guangning, and Jinzhou combined together failed to achieve such many results.
"The top priority at the moment is to stick to the capital. Before Dorgon's troops withdraw from the customs, we must not relax because of the victory. Next, the Ministry of Revenue must do a good job in distributing silver rewards and pensions, and strictly control them so that there cannot be any Once the situation of guarding and stealing occurs, we must severely punish it. After the beginning of spring, the Ministry of War must demobilize wounded soldiers who can still do some work and place them in new positions. The Medical Ministry must keep statistics on the sick and wounded, so that they can do so every day. According to statistics, we have a good understanding of the treatment situation. "The Capital Daily" and the "Imperial Daily" of the General Affairs Department should write down the process of the 'Luanhe Victory' in more detail so that the people can understand the situation of the battle. I will send people for specific materials. Send them to the newspaper office. The photos taken on the battlefield will be displayed in the gallery on Chang'an Street for the people to view for free, so you can have a sneak peek."
A certain prince asked Yang Jinchao to take out some of the photos he had taken previously to open the eyes of the civil servants who had stayed behind.
There is no need to send it to the beautiful biological mother, so as not to affect the appetite. At most, send some photos that can show Wang Shiying's talents.
Even if you charge ten dollars per person for these photos, there will still be a group of people rushing to see them.
However, a certain prince was a great philanthropist, so he did not accept the payment, and it was considered a celebration of the New Year.
"Your Highness, according to the statistics in the book, the Ministry of Revenue is going to spend more than eight million taels of silver this time?"
In the Luanhe victory alone, the armored soldiers killed together with the captains at all levels were worth 7,440,400 taels of silver.
The price of the coated slaves is relatively low, only five taels each, but they cannot support the large quantity, and they can be converted into more than 186,000 taels of silver.
The total of these two items alone is 7,626,725 taels!
The result of the Japanese army's victory at Xifengkou was counted as killing 2,500 people, with a book value of 500,000 taels of silver.
According to the braid arrangement, it can be deduced that the results include eight Niulu Zhangjing, two Jiala Zhangjing, and one Mele Zhangjing. The grade part is worth 110,000 taels, which is a total of 610,000 taels of silver.
Adding the two items together, the total amount was about 8.24 million taels of silver, but Li Shiwen was quite frightened!
