Chen Yue came to the battlefield, Li Yi generals came to visit, Chen Yue casually ordered, let them organize soldiers to treat the wounded, and then go back to the camp to rest, the battle fought for a day, all the soldiers were exhausted, as for the statistics of casualties, statistics of war achievements, their own repression department is responsible.

Guo Yunlong and other generals of the Guanning army also came to visit Chen Yue, and they were all uneasy.

"What about your casualties?" Chen Yue asked with concern.

Guo Yunlong suddenly showed a grateful look, because the first thing Chen Yue asked was casualties, which showed that this King of Qi was still concerned about the surrender of the army.

"Back to the King of Qi, the brothers suffered a lot of casualties, close to thirty percent, but for the sake of the crime and meritorious service, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the brothers were not afraid of death, and captured the five thousand levels of the full Tartar head!" Guo Yunlong said excitedly.

"......" Chen Yue was speechless for a moment, Guan Ningjun's performance in his eyes, it was indeed good, but what he said for the Ming Dynasty was, they just saw that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was gone, so they desperately cut off people's heads and grabbed military merits, which was the bad habit of the Ming army to calculate military merits according to the first level in the past. At present, Chen Yue's subordinates have long calculated their military merits not according to individual captures, but according to the overall performance on the battlefield and whether the strategic intention is realized.

In Chen Yue's subordinate army, each battalion and each general flag has a special officer to pacify the enemy, and the battlefield is specially recorded and killed, so when fighting, the officers and soldiers no longer compete to cut off people's heads, which is cheaper for the Guanning army infantry, and they are happy to cut off people's heads one by one.

However, the performance of the Guan Ning Army is really good, with three percent casualties and has not collapsed, and it is still scrambling to attack the Eight Banners and cut off people's heads, this kind of performance is worthy of recognition. So Chen Yue praised them very much and asked Chen Yan to send someone to lead them to the camp to rest.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the first rank ...... captured by the brothers," Guo Yunlong asked tentatively.

Chen Yue waved his hand: "You go and talk to the magistrate in my camp." "Chen Yue doesn't need to worry about this kind of trivial matter, he has his own method of accounting for Guo Yunlong's merits told by the magistrate.

As night fell, all the troops withdrew to their camps, and the wilderness fell silent, leaving only countless corpses exposed to the cold moonlight, except for flocks of old eagles rising and falling in the night sky, making terrible screams.

The largest mansion in Linqing City is the King of Qi Xingyuan, the hall is brightly lit, Chen Yue listened to the report of the battle results, and the young officer in charge of the report was Zhang Huangyan.

After Zhang Huangyan fought with the Manchu cavalry south of Liaocheng with the Wu Beisheng Brigade, everyone arrived in the army, and most of the Wu Beisheng were sent to various battalions as low-level officers. And Zhang Huangyan was appointed by Chen Yue as a staff officer because of his status, personal ability and outstanding ability, and worked in the Chinese army. Chen Yue was going to train him before sending him out to take charge of himself.

"According to the preliminary statistics of battlefield casualties, our army suffered more than 11,000 casualties in this battle, of which 3,216 were killed and more than 8,000 were wounded. Zhang Huangyan knew Chen Yue's character, and the first thing to report was his own casualties.

Chen Yue sighed, after a battle, nearly 5,000 people were killed and seriously injured on the spot, which can be said to be a huge casualty, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners is really powerful, and there are so many casualties when their own side occupies such a big advantage, if there is no surrender of Wu Sangui's army, how many casualties will be? Once it will be successful, the ancients will not deceive me!

"Command the military physicians to do their best to heal the wounded and wounded brothers and ensure that they eat a nutritious diet every day." Chen Yue commanded.

Zhang Huangyan nodded, and asked hesitantly: "Lord Wang, lightly injured brothers are easy to handle, as long as they are raised for a period of time, they can go to the battlefield again, but what about seriously injured, many people lack arms and legs, let alone fight, even if they return to their hometowns to farm." “

Chen Yue said: "I have a plan for this, after their injuries are healed, I will arrange for them to retire, and actively arrange for them to serve in the countryside, serving as grassroots officials such as the head of the township and village." In the future, under our rule, all rural two-level institutions will be set up, and officials will give priority to appointing retired officers and soldiers!

At the same time, I will go to the imperial court, and the Ministry of War will be responsible for setting up invalids in each province to house those retired officers and soldiers who are too seriously injured to take care of themselves. “

"The prince is merciful!" Zhang Huangyan praised that after more than half a year on the battlefield, Zhang Huangyan has a deeper and deeper understanding of the army and knows the hardships of those ordinary soldiers. By now, the military system has been completely corrupted, and the status of military soldiers is extremely low, inferior to ordinary people, which has directly caused the Ming army's combat effectiveness to be very poor. Chen Yue's measures undoubtedly made these soldiers no longer have any worries, and their combat effectiveness naturally became stronger and stronger.

However, the county set up a two-level government in the countryside, and the power in the countryside would be taken over from the hands of the gentry to the imperial court, and the king of Qi did this only to resettle the wounded and retired officers and soldiers, or was it to seize power in the countryside with the gentry? Zhang Huangyan had some doubts in his heart.

"Lord Wang, although our army suffered heavy casualties, the results of the battle were even more brilliant, in this battle, our army wiped out as many as 25,000 of the Eight Banners Army, there were no prisoners, all the Eight Banners soldiers were killed and cut off their heads, and the Zhenfu Division is currently counting the specific number." Zhang Huangyan happily continued.

Chen Yue nodded, and killed 25,000 Eight Banner soldiers with more than 10,000 casualties, not because the combat effectiveness of the army was far stronger than that of the Eight Banners, but because the Ming army firmly controlled the battlefield, and most of the time formed a situation of fighting more and fighting less. The Ming army controlled the battlefield, the wounded could be treated in time, many soldiers survived, and the Eight Banners had only one way to be killed, because no Ming soldiers would try to capture prisoners.

"Behead 25,000, how can there be such a great victory in 200 years!" Zhang Huangyan muttered, he couldn't be calm at this moment.

Since the Tumubao Change, the backbone of the Ming army has been discounted, since then whether it is the Northern Tartar or the Eastern Captives, it has always been a failure, killing dozens of heads on the battlefield is a great victory, and more are the loss of teachers and humiliation of the country.

However, in recent years, when the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of extinction, it suddenly counterattacked, Yangzhou, Wuhu, and now Linqing, each of the three major battles achieved a big victory. There are still tricks in Wuhu, Yangzhou, but Linqing really defeated the Manchu Eight Banners Army head-on, and this battle is completely in the eyes of Zhang Huangyan.

And this victory, killed 25,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, Dolgon led the last army to flee in the wilderness, whether it can escape the pursuit is not yet known, this war, completely defeated the Manchurians, Manchurian soldiers are no longer many, from now on Mantar will no longer be a threat to the Ming Dynasty!

And all of this was obtained by the young prince in front of him with his troops, at this moment, Zhang Huangyan's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Chen Yue.
