When Chen Yue came to the battlefield, General Li Yi came to see him one after another.
Chen Yue casually ordered them to organize soldiers to treat the wounded and then return to the camp to rest.
After a day of fighting, all the soldiers were exhausted.
As for counting casualties and counting military achievements, The Town and Fu Department is responsible for the matter. \ Guo Yunlong and other generals from Guan Ning's army also came to see Chen Yue, and they all felt uneasy.
"What are the casualties among your men?"
Chen Yue asked with concern.
Guo Yunlong suddenly showed a grateful look, because the first thing Chen Yue asked was casualties, which showed that the King of Qi still cared about the surrender of the army.
"Back to the King of Qi, our brothers suffered heavy casualties, close to 30%.
However, in order to make meritorious service and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, our brothers were not afraid of death and captured five thousand heads of Manta," Guo Yunlong said excitedly.
""Chen Yue was speechless.
He saw Guan Ningjun's performance.
It was indeed good, but what he said for the Ming Dynasty was bullshit.
They just saw that the Qing Dynasty was gone, so they risked their lives to behead people and gain military glory.
Forget it, this is the bad habit of the Ming army in the past to calculate military merit based on the head level.
Chen Yue's subordinates now calculate military merit not based on individual captures, but based on the overall performance on the battlefield and whether the strategic intention is realized, and then integrating the individual's performance on the battlefield.
In Chen Yue's army, each battalion and each general banner has a special pacification officer, who records the gains on the battlefield.
Therefore, during the battle, the officers and soldiers no longer fight for beheading, which is cheap.
The infantry of Guan Ning Army took great pleasure in beheading people one by one.
However, the performance of Guan Ning's army was indeed good.
They suffered 30% casualties and yet they still fought to attack the Eight Banners soldiers and cut their heads.
This performance deserves recognition.
So Chen Yue praised them very much and asked Chen Yan to send someone to take them to the camp to rest.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, the heads captured by the brothers," Guo Yunlong asked tentatively.
Chen Yue waved his hand: "Go and talk to the governor in my camp."
Chen Yue doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters.
The governor will tell Guo Yunlong how to calculate his achievements.
As night fell, all the troops withdrew to the camp, and the wilderness became quiet, leaving only countless corpses exposed in the cold moonlight, and only groups of old storks rising and falling in the night sky, making horrifying calls.
The largest house in Linqing City is the palace of King Qi.
The hall is brightly lit.
Chen Yue is listening to the report on the results of the battle.
The young officer in charge of the report is Zhang Huangyan.
After Zhang Huangyan and the Wu Beisheng brigade fought a battle with the Manchu and Tatar cavalry south of Liaocheng, everyone arrived in the army, and most of the Wu Beisheng were sent to various battalions to serve as low-level officers.
Because of his status as a juren and his outstanding personal abilities, Zhang Huangyan was appointed as a staff officer by Chen Yue to work in the Chinese Army.
Chen Yue planned to train him before sending him out to take charge of his own affairs.
"Preliminary statistics of casualties on the battlefield show that our army suffered more than 11,000 casualties in this battle, including 3,216 killed and more than 8,000 wounded.
Among the 8,000 wounded, 1,500 were seriously injured and the rest They are all minor injuries, and they will be able to return to the battlefield after a period of recovery.
"Zhang Huangyan knows Chen Yue's character, and the first thing to report is his own casualties.
Chen Yue sighed.
After the battle, nearly five thousand people died or were seriously injured on the spot.
It can be said that the casualties were huge.
The fighting power of the Eight Banners soldiers was really powerful.
Although our own side had such a huge advantage, there were so many casualties.
If Wu Sangui's army had not surrendered, How many casualties will there be?
A general's achievements will last forever.
The ancients are honest and will not deceive me.

"Instruct the military doctors to do their best to treat the wounded and wounded brothers and ensure their daily diet and nutrition."
Chen Yue ordered.
Zhang Huangyan nodded and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, it's easy to deal with the slightly injured brothers.
They can be rehabilitated for a while before they can fight again.
But as for the seriously injured ones, many of them are missing arms and legs.
Let alone fight.
It’s impossible to go back to my hometown to farm.”
Chen Yue said: "I have already planned this.
After their injuries are healed, I will arrange for them to retire, and proactively arrange for them to serve in the countryside, serving as village chiefs and other grassroots officials.
In the future, under our rule, all villages will be established at the rural level.
Agency, officials give priority to retired officers and soldiers At the same time, I will report to the imperial court, and the Ministry of War will be responsible for setting up Invalides in various prefectures to specifically place retired officers and soldiers who are too injured and unable to take care of themselves. " "Your Majesty is kind," Zhang Huangyan praised.
After more than half a year on the battlefield, Zhang Huangyan has a deeper and deeper understanding of the army and knows the sufferings of ordinary soldiers.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the military system had been completely corrupted, and the status of military household soldiers was extremely low, inferior to that of ordinary people.
This also directly resulted in the poor combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
Chen Yue's actions undoubtedly gave these soldiers no worries, and their combat effectiveness naturally became stronger and stronger.
However, with the establishment of two levels of rural government in the county, the power in the countryside will be taken back from the gentry to the imperial court.
Is King Qi's move just to accommodate injured and retired officers and soldiers, or is it to seize power in the countryside from the gentry?
Zhang Huangyan has some doubts in his heart .
"Your Majesty, although our army suffered heavy casualties, the results of the battle are even more impressive.
In this battle, our army wiped out 25,000 Eight Banners troops.
No prisoners were taken.
All the Eight Banners soldiers were killed and beheaded.
Currently, the Zhenfu Division The specific quantity is being counted," Zhang Huangyan continued to report happily.
Chen Yue nodded and killed 25,000 Eight Banners soldiers with more than 10,000 casualties.
This does not mean that the army's combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Eight Banners soldiers, but because the Ming army firmly controlled the battlefield and formed a pattern most of the time.
A situation of more fighting and less fighting.
The Ming army controlled the battlefield, the injured could receive timely treatment, and many soldiers could survive.
The Eight Banners soldiers had no choice but to be killed, because no Ming army soldiers would try to capture prisoners.
"Behead 25,000 people.
There has never been such a great victory in the past two hundred years."
Zhang Huangyan murmured.
At this moment, he couldn't calm down at all.
Since the Tumubao Incident, the backbone of the Ming army has been broken.
From then on, whether it is the Northern Tartars or the Eastern Lu, they have always failed.
Killing dozens of heads on the battlefield is a great victory, and more It is a loss of teachers and an insult to the country.
However, in recent years, when the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of destruction, it suddenly fought back with great victory in Yangzhou, Wuhu, and now Linqing.
There were still some tricks in Yangzhou and Wuhu, but Linqing actually defeated the Manta Eight Banners Army head-on.
This battle was entirely in Zhang Huangyan's eyes.
In this victory, 25,000 Manchus were killed.
Dorgon led the last army to flee.
It is not known whether he could escape the pursuit.
This battle completely defeated the Manchus.
The Manchus were able to fight.
There are not many soldiers left.
From now on, the Manchu Tatars will no longer be a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

And all of this was achieved by the young prince in front of him leading his troops.
At this moment, Zhang Huangyan looked at Chen Yue with eyes full of admiration
