Chapter 522: Urging the War to Hurry


Sitting in the study, he couldn't feel the cold, which made Lu Hanqiang feel uncomfortable, looking left and right, Chongzhen smiled and ordered someone to put lunch on the table, which was the first time that Lu Hanqiang enjoyed the treatment.

In fact, the so-called imperial meal Lu Hanqiang still frowned slightly, it was really not as good as when he was at home, not to mention wine, even the dishes were not enough, a small four dishes, a soup, and all of them were clear soup and little water, and there was no taste at this time Lu Hanqiang thought, he is diligent and thrifty here, maybe Wang Chengen is already a delicacy of the mountains and seas, is it more appropriate to go to Wang Chengen's meal.

Chongzhen smiled and let the dishes go, and then smiled happily: "The rare warmth in the imperial city is thanks to you." ” Lu Hanqiang was more surprised, what does this have to do with himself "Since the old lady entered the palace to chat with the old lady, as a result, your housekeeper Zhang directly transported in 10,000 stones of coke in the name of donation, and lit up all the earth dragons in the palace.

As soon as he mentioned his mother, Lu Hanqiang's heart ached, it wasn't that he was willing to be a hostage for his mother, as a son, how could he not make himself feel guilty.

Bow your head and drink the soup gently.

Chongzhen laughed: "I know you miss your mother, after a while, after our monarch and ministers chat, I will let you go to the old lady in the harem and meet the old lady, but the old lady said that she has talked a lot with the old ladies these days, and she is ready to live until the spring flowers bloom and then go home."

Then he blushed and tried to cover up the explanation: This is what the old lady said, of course I can't ask for it.

Lu Hanqiang said with a smile: "The most magnificent thing in the world is this Forbidden City, and the safest is also this Forbidden City. ” Chongzhen smiled proudly: It is this reason, if the old lady is willing, she can live in the old man's house forever.

Lu Hanqiang gritted his teeth and muttered: "You are still beating snakes with sticks, one day, I will move my home out of this prison-like capital, and at that time, I will see how you will still threaten me." ” When it came to the war, Chongzhen put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and became worried again; "Jiannu joined the army in October last year, and now it is the end of January, so it is not a way to be so rampant."

But then he said with confidence: "This time, the companion read with the tiger and wolf Qinwang, and won many big victories, and then there is the money and food that the companion is about to ship, it is time to go all out and quell the demons, so I hope that the companion will make persistent efforts to start a decisive battle against Jiannu." ” This point of view Lu Hanqiang predicted, these two big victories, must have bred the mentality of quick victory in the court, everyone must think that Jiannu is just like this, as long as the money and food are sufficient, they will be able to fight quickly, so they have a good draft in their hearts.

Put down the dishes and chopsticks, groaned for a while, and said heavily: "Long live, the first of the minister's two victories this time is a defeat, and the second is a miserable victory. ” Then Lu Hanqiang poured cold water on Chongzhen to cool him down: "The first big battle, it happened in a hurry, it was an encounter battle, we dispatched the personal guard cavalry of the national prince and my personal guard cavalry, a total of 5,000 men and horses, and the enemy was 1,500, and as a result, our side died 2,500 and the other party 1,300, which was the result of two of our brothers for one Jiannu, and it was the result of Jiannu's initiative to retreat at that time."

In this way, my personal guards and the personal guards of the state were basically disabled, and there was no time to replenish the troops, and they could not fight again after recuperating from their injuries. ” Chongzhen listened quietly and didn't say anything, in his opinion, it is the norm for the soldiers to shirk and not fight, even Lu Hanqiang is not exempt from familiarity, this is just Lu Hanqiang complaining, and then he can ask for some benefits with himself.

"The second battle started from Gaogezhuang, I broke the rear army of 2,500 people, faced Jiannu a Niu Lu 300 men and horses, and 600 Korean minions, the result of the battle was that our side died 2,000, and the enemy in the reinforcement of a Niu Lu, when the battle killed more than 300 Jiannu, killed 400 Korean minions, this time the battle loss ratio is three to one, this is still in the villages and towns, restricting the Jiannu cavalry to play, it can be seen that Jiannu is not only strong, but also the Korean clothed minions are also very fierce in combat.

These Jiannu were finally eliminated after Guogong brought the remaining personal soldiers to reinforce them, but when Jiannu was in the last dying struggle, he also made Guogong's personal guards lose another 150 brothers. ” Chongzhen listened expressionlessly.

Lu Hanqiang continued: "And the battle of Xiaoxishan is even more tragic, the most elite soldiers of my 5,000 guards rely on the geographical advantage to form a formation to defend to the death, in the face of the main force of 4,000 red flags, only fought for less than two hours, and more than 4,000 were killed, when the situation was critical, the lord of Zihan County with the army shouted and fought hard, and the sister of Ruyun braved the rain of arrows and swords to fight, which boosted morale, so that the remnants of the army persisted until the rescue army of the minister and Wang Dazhuang rushed to the battlefield. ” Hearing that Zihan Ruyun personally participated in the battle, Chongzhen couldn't help but be moved, and he could imagine the fierceness of the battle at that time.

He exclaimed in a low voice: "Guogong is a true hero." ” "In this battle, our army suffered 4,300 dead and 700 wounded, while Jiannu suffered a little more than 2,000 casualties.

The exchange ratio is two to one.

When our rescue army gathered, Jiannu Yue Tuo immediately took the initiative to withdraw from the battle, and it was Wang Dazhuang who used his minister's explosives bag and bed crossbow to cover the blow, so that Jiannu once again left 1,000 men and horses, and Yue Tuo escaped with injuries.

Then he summed up sadly, "In the two major battles before and after, I killed a total of 5,300 enemies, and the losses of our army were 2,700 cavalry and 6,000 infantry in the guard station, a total of 8,700." ” Hearing this number, Chongzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, not only was he not shocked, but also nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's really good, it seems that the companion reading is not only well-managed, but also able to train the army, if the army of the Ming Dynasty is as strong as the guard army of the companion reading, where will it take five years to build slaves, and two or three years can make them wipe out." ” Chongzhen has a reason to relax, because according to the Ming Dynasty's history of the battle of Jiannu, there is only defeat and no victory, and each defeat is tens of thousands, and the number of kills and injuries is only a few hundred, that is to say, it takes a hundred lives of the Ming army to exchange for a Jiannu's head, from the beginning of the Jiannu army to the present, the Ming Dynasty has invested no less than 20 million in silver, and the money and food are even more numerous, and the dead and wounded soldiers are no less than 200,000, but the total number of kills is not more than 20,000, and now Lu Hanqiang's exchange ratio is definitely a miracle.

Looking at Chongzhen's excited expression, Lu Hanqiang really smiled bitterly, he originally wanted to pour cold water on him, but it seemed that he had given him a charcoal brazier, is this simply counterproductive.

"Long live, after two battles, my and Guogong's personal guard cavalry were completely disabled, and they could hardly fight again, and all I had left were infantry, and in the face of the Jiannu cavalry that came and went, we only had the ability to be beaten passively, but we had no ability to pursue."

Chongzhen nodded lightly in agreement, Chongzhen was born from the grassroots, has been in the market for two years, and is more diligent and studious, but it is not like his previous generations of emperors, born in the deep palace, and the emperor who grew up in the hands of a woman still understands these superficial knowledge.

"And what I brought this time was only 20,000 guards after the rectification of the Nansi Prefecture, 3,000 guards of the Duke of the Kingdom, 2,000 guards of my supervisor, 2,000 Pinglu Xiangyong, and 4,000 men and horses of Zhao'an's Taiping Village, and these two battles, that is, nearly a quarter of the soldiers who could fight have been killed, and the most important of them is 3,000 cavalry."

Then he looked at Chongzhen sincerely: "Long live, I don't have the strength to carry out a large-scale attack on Jiannu again, after all, Jiannu still has a main force of 30,000 or 60,000 clothed minions." ” t1706231537:
