As Qi Bin's new army took the lead in entering Weishui to participate in the battle, the Ming troops from all walks of life quickly reacted and rushed to the Weishui battlefield one after another, with a positive attitude.

"Beating the water dogs" was originally the favorite and best thing of the Ming army, and the Dzungar army was already at the end of the road, and it was a good time for the Ming army from all walks of life to "make meritorious contributions" and "defend the country", and everyone was scrambling to be the first to rush forward.

At this time, above Weishui, more than 10,000 enemy heads are all rewarded for military merits, driven by interests, it is natural that the military is moving!

In fact, even the Ming troops on the left flank, who had been completely defeated by the Dzungar cavalry, forgot about the rout not long ago, and poured into the Weihe battlefield unwilling to lag behind, charging forward one by one. Even the new army of soldiers, whom Zhao Junchen has always had high hopes for, is not immune to vulgarity at this time.

However, the rare "concerted efforts" and "courageous killing of the enemy" of the Ming armies from all walks of life had a diametrically opposite effect on the battlefield situation.

In the shallow water area of the Wei River in just over ten miles, it was soon crowded with dense officers and soldiers of various armies, but the overcrowded environment made it impossible for the Ming army to give full play to its strength advantage, and the battlefield situation gradually fell into chaos!

Before the Ming army rushed into the battlefield, the Mongolian right wing cavalry and Qi Bin's new army could still maintain the most basic discipline and formation when fighting, and the Junggar cavalry was already in danger under the front and rear attacks of the two armies, but after the Ming army from all walks of life swarmed into the battlefield, it was rampage, chickens and dogs jumped, and soon disrupted the formation and cooperation between the Mongolian right wing and Qi Bin's new army, but let the Dzungar cavalry win a little respite, quite a bit of "pig teammates" suspicion.

In addition, after many Ming troops entered the battlefield, they intentionally or unintentionally attacked the Mongolian right-wing cavalry, which had become a "friendly army" for the time being, probably in order to replace the head of the Dzungar cavalry with the head of the Mongolian right-wing cavalry in exchange for military merits.

Fortunately, the Ming army had already gained the upper hand, and the Dzungar cavalry could not escape, even if there was some chaos in the battle situation, it only delayed the final victory.

Otherwise, the situation on the battlefield suddenly fell into such chaos, maybe the Dzungar cavalry would find a chance to turn defeat into victory, and Zhao Junchen's various plans and painstaking layouts would be put into practice.

*

At the same time, in the camp of the Chinese army of the Ming army, on a high platform.

Seeing that the victory was decided, under the congratulations of all the officials, Zhao Junchen was in a very good mood, and his mind was already secretly thinking about his future plans - how to use this battle to seek the greatest benefits? If Emperor Deqing is jealous, how should he respond? How do we need to lay out the border defense strategy of Shaanxi and Gansu in the future?

When Zhao Junchen came back to his senses, he finally noticed the chaotic scene of the battlefield situation, and most of his original comfortable mood was suddenly destroyed.

These Ming troops, if they are not useful, they have won several consecutive battles under the command of Zhao Junchen these days, but if you say how good their performance is, it will be a mess at a critical moment every time, which is quite disappointing.

After all, Fang Zhenshan was a military attaché, and he also noticed the signs of chaos on the battlefield, and when he saw Zhao Junchen suddenly frowning, he hurriedly asked: "Lord Qincha, all the soldiers on the battlefield are gathered on the Weihe battlefield, but they lack command and cooperation, it is really a bit chaotic, do you want to pass on a military order to restrain it?" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a calm face and said: "Immediately send fast horses to the Weishui battlefield to convey Ben Qincha's military orders to all the soldiers, strictly order all armies to gather their ranks, restrain military discipline, and must not trample on each other's internal strife, and after the war, they are not allowed to kill prisoners at will, let alone take the opportunity to attack the Mongolian right-wing army, whether it is the Dzungar prisoners or the Mongolian right-wing cavalry, Ben Qincha will be useful in the future if he keeps their lives...... Forget it, you don't have to send a messenger! General Fang, you personally rushed to convey the military order, Ben Qin sent you the right to make a decision on the spot, if someone still acts arbitrarily after receiving the military order, it will be handled by you, the matter is very important, and you must be severely punished! ”

"Obey the order!"

Hearing Zhao Junchen's deep order, Fang Zhenshan hurriedly agreed and turned to leave.

However, Zhao Junchen and Fang Zhenshan both knew in their hearts that this military order was just a matter of personnel, and the Ming troops on the battlefield would probably not obey the military order, even if Zhao Junchen had established a very high prestige in the army, speaking at this time might not be effective.

Where the benefits are, the deep source of the blade mountain, are all fearless - Guan Zi understood this truth more than 2,000 years ago.

Now, the defeat of Dzungaria has been decided, and the Weishui battlefield is full of Tartar heads that can be exchanged for military merit rewards, which is obviously a low-hanging fruit, and it is too late to rob, how can Zhao Junchen stop it by issuing a military order?

Since coming to this world, whether Zhao Junchen accepts or employs people, he has always been induced by interests, and it is the use of the profit-seeking nature of human beings, so Zhao Junchen's influence on power will become greater and greater.

Zhao Junchen's prestige in the army is increasing, but he can only let the soldiers work hard for themselves, if he wants the soldiers to give up their interests, it is difficult to achieve results.

Things in the world are always like this - it's easy to make people effective, it's just a matter of means to make people desperate, but it's hard to make people give up benefits and benefits.

After all, Zhao Junchen is only a human being and not a god, and he is not even a qualified military strategist, and the means he is good at driving interests and demagoguery can only be used to encourage the morale of the army and enhance the fighting spirit of the soldiers, but it is absolutely impossible to make the long-rotten Ming soldiers become forbidden and strict in military discipline in a short period of time.

Therefore, the chaos in the current war situation is also a matter of course.

In a way, this situation can be regarded as Zhao Junchen lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, if it weren't for Zhao Junchen's extremely high standards for military merit rewards when he was agitating morale before the war, the soldiers would not be so impulsive at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly helplessly.

On the other side, after seeing the change in Zhao Junchen's expression, all the civil officials present exchanged glances with each other, they usually have different positions and often have targeted views, but their performance at this time is surprisingly tacit.

I saw that Wu Qifan, the prefect of Xi'an, was full of anger and said: "According to the pre-war plan of Lord Qincha, at this time, it should be Qi Bin's new army and the Mongolian right wing to undertake the main attack task, but in order to grab the merits, the armies from all walks of life are attacking in a chaotic manner, and even trampling on each other, competing with each other, and attacking friendly troops, which is completely contrary to Lord Qincha's clear order, and has also caused chaos on the battlefield today, and the original stable victory situation has also caused twists and turns. ”

As soon as Wu Qifan's words fell, Zhou Bo also said solemnly: "Yes! According to the lower officials, the victory of this battle is due to your command and strategic planning, otherwise the border army has been eroded for a long time, and the reinforcements of the forbidden army have not been in battle for a long time, so where is the opponent of the Mongolian coalition army? If it weren't for Lord Qincha descended from heaven, I am afraid that the three sides would have been in an emergency, and the city would have been lost! Now that he has gained a great victory unseen in a century, it is certainly a great thing, but the lower officials are a little worried in their hearts, if the border generals become arrogant and disobedient after this great victory, what should they do? Lord Qincha, you can certainly suppress them here, but sooner or later you will have to return to the capital, and then we civil officials are afraid that we will suffer! ”

As Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo took the lead in expressing their positions, a group of civil officials hurriedly echoed one after another.

"Yes, looking at today's situation, Lord Qincha, you are obviously still in the Chinese army, but the armies have already shown signs of disobedience to military orders, and when Lord Qincha leaves the three sides and returns to the capital in the future, how can the armies on the three sides be governed? Such signs have a great impact and deep hidden dangers! I have to guard against it! ”

"The trilateral armies have been defeated repeatedly in the past, and they have already been corrupted in military discipline and do not listen to propaganda, and now that they have won the battle, they will inevitably become more arrogant, and they will only suffer the people of the three sides at that time!"

"Lord Qincha, the lower officials believe that the current battlefield chaos is certainly not an obstacle to victory, but it is by no means a trivial matter, and I hope that we must pay attention to this matter, severely punish those generals and military attaches who violate military orders, and punish small and big commandments, so that there will be long-term peace!"

Civilian officials are always like this, whether they say that they have a small belly or chicken intestines, or that they take precautions, they have a natural vigilance against the military attaché forces in their hearts, and they will always seize every opportunity to suppress the military forces, and if the war is unfavorable, they will dislike the military attachés for being incompetent, but if the war goes well, they will worry that the military attachés will take advantage of the situation.

Especially now, with the departure of Fang Zhenshan, most of the officials who stayed with Zhao Junchen were from civilian backgrounds, and the remaining few military attaches were also low-ranking and influential, which was a great opportunity for civilian officials to take eye medicine.

What's more, if they can take the opportunity to move Zhao Junchen, in addition to Zhao Junchen's suppression of the military attaché, the civilian officials may also be able to share some more merits.

In short, seeing that a big victory is coming, not only are the Ming armies from all walks of life competing on the battlefield, but the civilian officials are also unwilling to be lonely when they stay in the rear.

Regarding the mentality of all civilian officials, Zhao Junchen was also insightful, so he naturally ignored it, and just quietly observed the changes in the situation on the battlefield.

With Fang Zhenshan rushing to the Weishui battlefield to supervise the battle, and conveyed Zhao Junchen's military order, and successively punished several military attaches who did not obey the order, after all, it had some effect, and the Ming army was a little more honest, although the army was still unwilling to retreat from the battlefield, but at least they did not dare to blatantly compete with each other, and the phenomenon of attacking the Mongolian right wing cavalry was also reduced a lot, and the battlefield situation was still a little chaotic, but it also returned to the control of the Ming army.

Seeing such a change in the situation, especially after noticing that the Ming armies from all walks of life no longer attacked the Mongolian cavalry on the right flank, Zhao Junchen breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that the Mongolian right-wing cavalry would be annoyed and angry under the constant harassment of the Ming army from all walks of life, and finally counterattack the Ming army in battle, and then there would be variables.

Then, Zhao Junchen finally replied to the statements of the civil officials, but shook his head and said: "As you said, Ben Qincha will return to Beijing soon, and there are still a lot of important government affairs waiting to be dealt with in the center of the temple, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of the three sides at that time...... But you don't have to worry too much, there will still be Liang Ge Lao in charge of the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu in the future, and the imperial court will preside over the overall situation, so there must be no big problems...... Although the armies were suspected of disobeying military orders on the battlefield today, fortunately there was no obstacle to victory, and the officers and men had been extremely fortunate in continuous combat during this period of time, and they had suffered many casualties, and their performance was much better than expected. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's reply, all the civil officials were a little unwilling, and in fact, Zhao Junchen's statement was difficult to convince them.

Liang Fuchen used to have some prestige on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, but now that the hearts of the trilateral army are all due to Zhao Junchen, Liang Fuchen's former prestige is gone, and it is difficult to control these victorious soldiers in a short period of time.

However, without waiting for the civil officials to speak again to persuade them, Zhao Junchen had already spoken again: "It has been more than an hour since the beginning of this war, and Ben Qincha has been standing here for more than an hour staring at the changes in the battle situation, and he is really a little tired...... Ben Qincha has worked too hard during this time, and his physical condition is also not good, so he is really a little unbearable!

…… In addition, the armies of all walks of life took the opportunity to attack the Mongolian right-wing cavalry that had become friendly troops on the battlefield this time, but it was somewhat untenable, and when the war was over, the Sigmu of the Mongolian right-wing would inevitably question and accuse me, and then it would be indispensable to have a bit of a raffling, and in addition to the handling of various things after the war, it was also necessary to nourish the spirit in advance......

After speaking, Zhao Junchen took the lead in turning around and getting off the high platform, and walked in the direction of the camp commander's tent, but he no longer gave the civil officials a chance to speak.

In fact, although the ideas of Wu Qifan, Zhou Bo and others are suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it is not unreasonable, the military discipline of the border troops has been eroding for a long time, and their style on weekdays is similar to that of bandits, and in the future, with military merits, they will inevitably become more and more arrogant and uncontrollable.

But this situation is beneficial to Zhao Junchen, only the arrogance of the border army is uncontrollable, Zhao Junchen's influence on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu can continue, once Liang Fuchen can not control the situation, after the civil and military officials have a conflict, Zhao Junchen needs to come forward to solve it, so that Liang Fuchen will continue to owe Zhao Junchen favors, and at the same time, he can also drag Liang Fuchen so that he can not return to Beijing to assist Emperor Deqing, but it is a situation of killing three birds with one stone.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen naturally ignored the worries of the civilian officials, not to mention that the concerns raised by the civilian officials at this time were largely just to compete with the military attaches for meritorious service.

On the other hand, seeing Zhao Junchen's performance, all the civil officials were a little helpless, but they didn't dare to mention this matter again, which swept Zhao Junchen's interest, so they had to follow Zhao Junchen back to the tent.

*

In fact, Zhao Junchen did not lie, since the beginning of the war, he stood on the high platform and watched the development of the war, standing for nearly two hours, and was also blown by the northwest wind for nearly two hours.

After returning to the Shuai Tent, Zhao Junchen first drank a cup of ginger tea, and his body finally warmed up, and then he began to close his eyes and recuperate, waiting for the final results to come.

The civil officials saw that Zhao Junchen was indeed tired, but they didn't dare to disturb, and they also waited quietly.

While waiting, Zhao Junchen's brain was not idle, it was still spinning rapidly, thinking about many follow-up questions.

"Tonight, I will send someone to inform Xu Qingyan that Liang Fuchen can be released, Liang Fuchen's mind is not low, and he will inevitably suspect that his kidnapping has something to do with me, so this matter must be dealt with, and Liang Fuchen must not be allowed to catch any handles......"

"After the end of this war, it will be the time when I am at the most powerful and prestigious, and I must take advantage of the situation to summon the governors and the general soldiers from all over the country to meet, not only to take advantage of the opportunity to establish their authority, but also to take advantage of the situation to take them for my own use......"

"Before this battle, I never thought that the final victory would be so brilliant, so the military merit reward formulated before the war was a bit high, and the military merit reward silver issued to the soldiers must be a large amount, and I don't know if it is enough just by confiscating the Wang family's property, but I also need to think of some ways to ......."

"There is also the matter of attacking the Hetao Plain, and we must hurry up and arrange it...... If Bagan can be captured alive, he can use it......"

"In addition, Qi Bin's new army also needs to be cautious in its handling, I have been deliberately suppressing them, and I haven't let this army gain too many military merits, but this army's combat power is not bad, and they will have to be reused sooner or later in the future, but although I have been infiltrating secretly, Qi Bin still left too many imprints, and Liang Fuchen behind Qi Bin ......"

"Movement ...... the Centers of the Capital City"

"How should I ...... do the battle report?"

Perhaps because he was about to win a big victory, Zhao Junchen's body was still tired, but his brain was extremely clear and sharp, and he quickly sorted out all the problems in all aspects.

Just as Zhao Junchen was thinking in secret, time passed extremely quickly, and soon it was half an hour later.

As the noise and cheers outside the tent gradually became louder, Zhao Junchen slowly opened his eyes.

He knew that it must be the final result of this war.

Sure enough, after another cup of tea, Zhao Dali quickly entered the tent, his face was full of excitement and joy, knelt in front of Zhao Junchen and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, the Weishui War is over!" The Dzungar army was either killed or captured, none of them escaped, and our army won a great victory! Our army has won a great victory! ”
