Chapter 656 - It's Big


After Li Guo's ship left the dock, the Qing cavalry made a surprise attack, broke through the barrier, and killed the dock.The remaining Ming troops either jumped into the river, were beheaded by cavalry, or surrendered on their knees.At this time, although there were still many Ming soldiers on the north bank, trapped on the top of the hills, resisting to the death, the general trend had gone.After the Qing army occupied the wharf, the Ming warships on the river still shelled the north bank until dusk, giving the remaining Ming army the greatest support, but finally withdrew to the south bank.When it was about to get dark, Azig rode to the mouth of the old river, the ground was full of corpses of the Ming and Qing armies, the horse's hooves stepped on the ground that was red with blood and became muddy, and when he came to the river, Azig had a gloomy face and looked at the south bank.The Qing army on the north bank shuttled between the corpses, cleaned up the battlefield, and carried away the corpses, and the Qing soldiers silently cleaned up, without the joy they had a few days ago.In this war, the Qing army won, but the Qing soldiers were very heavy in their hearts.He Luo would beat his horse and come to Azig's side, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the army has captured nearly 10,000 barbarians and killed more than 20,000 people. ”Azig's eyes were gloomy, "What about the losses of the Qing warriors?"

”He Luo lowered his head, "Back to the prince, the preliminary estimate is that the loss is more than 10,000 people."

Among them, the cavalry of the two white flags lost thousands of them, and the artillery team of the Han army with the red flag was almost wiped out!

”Azig clenched his horsewhip in his hand, his face full of anger.Such a result has basically been announced, and the southern expedition that the Manchu court has been planning for many days and has been planning for many days has died halfway.In the city of Nanjing, inside the Imperial Palace.Zhu Yujian quickly read the military report on the front line, and couldn't help but sigh a sigh of relief.Zhao Ming made a move, and the Zhejiang army and sailors responded, plus the ships owned by the people and merchants on the south bank were mobilized to rush to cross, and more than 100,000 Ming troops on the north bank withdrew more than half.With the withdrawal of these soldiers and horses, the defense of the south bank has been greatly increased, and Zhu Yujian and Zhao Ming have reached a reconciliation, and Nanjing can be said to be safe.Zhu Yujian put down the fold and asked in a deep voice: "Where are Li Guo and the North Shore Defeated Army now placed?"

”In the main hall, several scholars looked at each other, and finally Yang Wencong came out of the queue and said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, except for a few of them, they were taken to Nanjing, and most of them were transported to Jiangdong by King Wu Yue." ”Zhu Yujian was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, "What did you say?"

”Yang Wencong bowed his head and was silent, and He Tengjiao, who had been snubbed, seized the opportunity, stood up, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the ships sent by the imperial court received less than 20,000 people, and the rest of the people and horses were transported to Jiangdong by Zhao Boan.Zhao Bo'an's wolf ambition, this is to take the opportunity to annex the soldiers and horses of the imperial court!

”Zhu Yu's face sank like water, he didn't expect Zhao Ming to be so shameless, taking the opportunity to respond to the rout and transport tens of thousands of horses from Jiangbei to Jiangdong.Since these soldiers and horses were picked up by Zhao Ming and transported to Jiangdong, it was impossible for Zhao Ming to return them.As a result, this time due to the internal turmoil in Nanming, Zhu Yujian and Zhu Yihai became the losers, while Zhao Ming won Zhejiang and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which can be said to be the biggest winner.This time, Zhu Yihai's position as the prince was deposed, the Zhejiang forces suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses, and the Longwu Dynasty lost nearly 200,000 troops, which can be described as a great loss of vitality.The Qing army went south, Azig defeated the 200,000 Ming army in Jiangbei, captured tens of thousands of people, captured Fengxiang, Hezhou, Chuzhou, and most of Luzhou, and seized a large amount of military resources and grain and grass, which was regarded as a fisherman's profit.However, it is not a good thing that the Qing army tore up the peace treaty prematurely and exposed its intention to destroy the Ming Dynasty.Zhao Ming first seized Zhejiang, annexed a large number of soldiers and horses that were originally subordinate to Zhejiang, and then took the opportunity to transport away tens of thousands of forbidden troops, and his strength skyrocketed, and he really became a big force on the separatist side.This made Zhu Yujian extremely angry, and he jumped like thunder, "Send a decree to Zhao Ming, and order him to leave and return Li Guo and tens of thousands of troops to the imperial court!"

”He Tengjiao said: "The minister is the will!"

”Just when Zhu Yujian was indignant in his heart, Pang Tianshou hurriedly walked into the hall and saluted in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Fu Shangrui, the governor of Huguang, is in an emergency!"

”Zhu Yujian frowned, "What happened to Huguang again?"

”Pang Tianshou stammered in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Governor Fu said in the book ~ The book said ~" Zhu Yujian shouted angrily, "What did he say?"

”Pang Tianshou knelt and kowtowed, glanced at Zhu Yujian, and lowered his head again, "Governor Fu said that after the Xichuan soldiers entered Huguang, the troops did not enter, and the Governor Fu sent someone to question, but he didn't want the Xichuan soldiers to attack Jingzhou on the grounds that the imperial court was in arrears ~~~~~~of salaries" Zhu Yujian heard this, only to feel that the five thunders hit the top, his brain was dizzy, and he almost fainted.For a moment, Zhu Yujian's mind was blank, and the whole person sat on the throne dejectedly, speechless for a while."

Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

He Tengjiao was also shocked by this news, but he still comforted the emperor first.When Zhu Yujian heard his voice, he instantly burst into anger, "Didn't I ask the household department to allocate 500,000 taels of silver and 300,000 stones of grain to Sun Kewang as military expenses?"

”He Tengjiao immediately lowered his head, Sun Kewang was just a rogue, and he was also a feudal town, and he was also the target of He Tengjiao's weakening.After Zhu Yujian gave the order, he did not allocate food to Sun Kewang at all, but first divided a little of the money and grain to enrich his own pockets and those of his subordinates, and the rest was given to Fu Shangrui, the governor of Huguang, to raise He Tengjiao's own descendants and for Xichuan troops to advance east to reinforce Nanjing.After Fu Shangrui got the money and food, he naturally didn't give Xichuan soldiers, and also intercepted most of them, so that Sun Kewang was expected to reinforce Nanjing, and he had to pay for it himself.When Zhu Yujian saw He Tengjiao's expression, he immediately understood, picked up the fold at hand, and threw it at He Tengjiao."

My country has been ruined by your mediocrity!"

Zhu Yujian was almost so angry that he turned his back on it.He Tengjiao was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the minister did make a mistake, but Sun Kewang, like Zhao Ming, is an outlying town with wolf ambitions."

The arrears may just be an excuse for Sun Kewang. ”Zhao Minggang in the east swallowed Zhu Yujian's tens of thousands of troops, and Sun Kewang in the west took the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou, and the Ming Dynasty can be said to be stormy.In this way, the Xichuan army, which was trapped in Sichuan, had an exit, which would pose a huge threat to the Longwu court.Now, Zhu Yujian is really repentant, how can it be important that He Tengjiao, a fool, has made the originally good situation like this.Zhu Yujian didn't want to scold him anymore, He Tengjiao on the side of the court presided over the cutting of the domain and cut out a rebellion, and Fu Shangrui, He Tengjiao's henchman on the Huguang side, forced the Xichuan soldiers to mutiny.For a moment, Zhu Yujian only felt a wave of tiredness, which hit his heart.As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to strengthen the imperial power, revitalize the imperial court, and achieve internal unity, Zhu Yujian thought that he was right, but why was it so difficult?

Half-sounded, Zhu Yujian sighed, "If the Ming Dynasty dies, it will be destroyed by Yongchen and powerful clans with different surnames!"
