After the celebration banquet, Founder began to calculate the merits and divide the spoils.

After several days of counting, the seizures of the Jinzhou War were finally sorted out, except for a small amount of grain and grass, most of the rest were artillery and firearms, Kong Youde's Wuzhen Chaoha and Geng Zhongming's Tianyou Army were basically scrapped, and a large number of firearms did not have time to be collected.

Those heavy Hongyi cannons made the eyes of all the general soldiers hot, and they saw the artillery strike ability of the Tianwu Army, and all the general soldiers also wanted to organize an artillery battalion.

Zhu Cihong could naturally see that he looked at these generals with shining-eyed eyes and said, "The Tianwu Army only needs those Shenwei General Cannons, and the rest of the artillery guns will be handed over to Father-in-law Fang to distribute to everyone." ”

Zhu Cihong knew that if he wanted to recover Liaodong, he could not do it with 70,000 Tianwu troops alone, Jinzhou was only 400 miles away from Shengjing, which was equivalent to a war at the door of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they could mobilize nearly 300,000 troops.

If it continues to fight for a long time, coupled with the water and soil adaptation, the losses of the Tianwu army will be very large, conservatively estimated that the loss is more than half, the battle to recover Liaodong is not the Tianwu army is fighting, let the towns on the nine sides go up to consume is Zhu Cihong's main strategy.

As soon as Zhu Cihong's voice fell, several general soldiers unanimously objected, and said, "Your Highness, how can this be done?" The Tianwu Army scored at least half of the points. ”

In the Battle of Jinzhou, the Tianwu Army was the main attack, which basically supported the whole battle, everyone knew it in their hearts, and no one present was embarrassed to fight for merit with a cheeky face.

Others also disagreed, thinking that the crown prince was too polite, and everyone was embarrassed.

Zhu Cihong had no choice but to select a batch of high-quality and large-caliber Hongyi cannons, and the others were resolutely not wanted, in terms of quality, the Hongyi cannons produced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty were far inferior to those produced by the Jiangnan Ordnance Bureau, and Zhu Cihong really didn't dare to ask for them.

Especially the fire gun, how many years has this been outdated, strictly speaking, it is two versions lower than the self-generated Lumi gun used by the Tianwu Army, who uses these rags.

Zhu Cihong can't look down on them, but other generals treat them as treasures, and their eyes are very hot, these firearms are not in danger of exploding, and they are much stronger than those used by the Ming army.

After a fierce battle, the captured artillery and guns were finally distributed, and everyone was happy, especially Wu Sangui, who had the best popularity and the most shared, and there were a few people who were embarrassed, obviously unfairly, such as Li Fuming, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Cihong was silently paying attention to the emotions of these people on the side, and he could roughly draw out which people were weak, which people were holding together, and what the relationship between them was.

Subsequently, under the auspices of Fang Zhenghua, the supervising army began to record military merits, and the souls of the soldiers who died in the battle were paid tribute to the soldiers on the battlefield of Xiaolinghe.

In this battle, there were many casualties of the Tianwu army, Zhu Cihong decided to set up an altar in Rufeng Mountain, there is a natural stone shed composed of three stones on Rufeng Mountain, where Nurhachi once evaded the pursuit of the Ming army, and also slept on a boulder.

Since then, Jiannu has begun to make up stories, saying that the boulder that Lao Khan slept on was a spiritual stone left over from Nuwa's mending the sky, which was extremely sacred, and Lao Khan was destined to return.

Zhu Cihong sneered when he heard this, and returned the spirit stone, why didn't he say that Nurhachi was the reincarnation of the monkey?

Since Jiannu made up stories and myths about the old Khan to fool people, Zhu Cihong also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and expanded the stone shed into a shrine of loyal souls, and the spirit stone where Nurhachi slept was a platform for placing tributes........

On March 29, the good news arrived in Beijing, and the government and the opposition were jubilant, and Emperor Chongzhen was even more ecstatic, and Longyan was happy.

After winning the first battle and beheading more than 10,000 enemies, Chongzhen immediately issued an order to reward the three armies and seal a meritorious soldier without hesitation.

The Ministry of Rites' "Huangming Times" greatly publicized the victory in Liaodong, and the originally dull and lifeless Jingshi seemed to come to life all of a sudden, and the business of various teahouses and restaurants with depressed business became extremely hot in just a few days.

The gloomy atmosphere in the entire Beizhili, and even in Shandong and other places where the Jiannu were most ravaged by Jiannu, was also swept away, and many people applauded, and some even shouted that they would go straight to Shengjing and kill all Jiannu.

Historically, exporting wars has tended to divert the attention of the people and alleviate internal contradictions, which is not only related to the sense of honor of the nation-state, but more importantly, the victory of the war often represents more interests, which is of great help to the people at the bottom

Chongzhen paid attention to the newspaper every day, and read too many of the impassioned comments in the newspaper, and he also gave birth to a completely flat idea, but the head of the household Shangshu Li Zhiwen poured a basin of cold water on him.

He said that Liaodong had gathered more than 200,000 troops, and the daily consumption of food and salary was extremely large, and the money and grain of the household department had been exhausted by the front line.

Chongzhen slowly regained his senses, how could he not understand the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the entire north was broken, and the finances were in a mess, so he could only rely on Jiangnan.

When the news reached Nanzhili, firecrackers in various prefectures and counties kept going all night, and a large group of storytellers wrote articles overnight, compiling dozens of versions of the Jinzhou War, and holding the Tianwu Army to the sky.

The family members of the Tianwu Army raised their eyebrows even more, making the neighbors envious.

.......

After the defeat of Jinzhou, the Qing army began to withdraw its troops on all fronts, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Mongolian tribes of the Outer Domains all retreated to the Daling River.

On the Daling River, pontoon bridges were built everywhere, and the endless army of the Eight Banners continued to retreat to the riverbank, and even the Daling River forts on the south bank were abandoned.

Huang Taiji lay on the dragon chariot, watching the army outside the curtain cross the river with an expressionless face, only to see that the Eight Banners Army was all depressed, and some of the armored soldiers who had been rescued were lying on the car and shouting in bumps.

The pain of being hit by lead bullets is difficult to describe in bitter Manchu language, the lack of medical soldiers in the Qing military camps, medical care is still backward, most of the wounded Eight Banners soldiers can only lose their vitality in the howl, suffering and dying.

After the defeat, the Eight Banners Army lost all its momentum, and those Eight Banners Mongolia and the Mongolian tribes of the Outer Domains complained all the way that the casualties in the Banner were too large, expressing strong dissatisfaction, and asking Huang Taiji to replenish the grain and grass population for their tribe.

The head of the Bahrain Ministry, King Saibuteng, even shouted: "My Bahrain Ministry wants to go back to Monan and reconsider the relationship with the Qing Dynasty!" ”

If in normal times, any Mongolian tribe dares to say such things publicly, it means that death is not far away, but now, those high-ranking Qing princes and ministers actually pretended to be deaf and dumb one by one, and no one stepped forward to scold, and even Huang Taiji turned a deaf ear to such rebellious words.

The large-scale retreat of the Qing army has always been seriously concerned by Long Xiang's failure to collect at night, and Zhu Cihong held a grand military meeting in Jinzhou City, advocating that he should continue to cross the Daling River, continue the pursuit, and fight to Shengjing.
