Seventy or eighty thousand people, it is not easy to arrest.

After the few small boats and rafts by the river fled the south bank, the Mongols and Manchus who wanted to return home suddenly became completely desperate, and the routs crowded on the river beach began to surrender on a large scale.

The Manchus stood by the river, killed by the Mongols, and the main ones who were driven into the river were Manchus.

Of the 15,000 banners, less than 2,000 escaped across the river, and most of the rest were swept away by the river or killed by the angry Mongols, and only a very small number were captured by the Ming army.

Lou Qin, Wakda, Doni, Rokoduo four young princes, Doni was beheaded by the Mongols, Wakda crossed the river, the rout climbed onto the boat, but the boat overturned before reaching the center of the river, Wakda and Dolgon's corpse, rolled into the Yellow River together, and disappeared.

Among the four kings, only Luo Keduo, who fled first in timidity, and Lou Qin, who robbed a raft, fled to the north bank of the Yellow River with Doni, who was missing half of his head.

Although these people escaped and ascended to heaven, they experienced this defeat and lost their courage, and they will inevitably fear the Ming Dynasty like a tiger in the future, and it is almost impossible to make a comeback.

Lou Qin and Rocoduo gathered a miserable army on the north bank, 15,000 people were full, only 1,600 escaped across the river, and the rest were all lost on the south bank.

When he learned that Wakda had rolled into the river with Dorgon's body, he immediately sent people along the river to look for him, but he did not find it.

Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, didn't even snatch back a corpse, the two could only hug their heads and cry, and then led more than a thousand miserable soldiers to Beijing in a hurry.

80,000 defeated soldiers, trying to capture all of them at once, is a huge project, and it is not easy.

Fortunately, the defeated army is more obedient than the pig, and once they give up resistance, they can lay down their weapons and stand in the designated area according to the requirements of the Ming army, without much effort.

Wang Yan stood on the top of the mountain, he had expected the outcome of this battle, but when he saw the defeat of the main force of the Qing army, he still sighed, "It's not easy!" ”

From the Jiashen State Change, to the fall of the Southern Capital, the old capital of the Ming Dynasty lost all its money, nearly a million soldiers and horses were almost all lost, the emperor hunted in the north, supervised the country and surrendered to the enemy, and the entire Ming Dynasty only had a few southwestern provinces left, what a shame it was!

However, in the past ten years, under the hard work of Emperor Gaozong, Wang Yan, Lu Jianguo, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan and others, under the sacrifice of countless heroes and martyrs such as Chen, Yan Ergong, Jin Sheng, Huang Daozhou, Wang Wei, Zhang Kuang, and even under the efforts of more than 100,000 elites of the Western Army who were defeated in Hanzhong, the Ming Dynasty finally reversed the situation in the world after victory and defeat again and again.

Today, the Ming Dynasty has finally washed away most of its shame.

In this Central Plains War, 30,000 were beheaded in Luoyang, 40,000 were captured, and then in Mengjindu, Wang Yan finally drew an end to this battle.

Of the nearly 80,000 routed soldiers, less than 2,000 escaped across the river, and the rest were either swept away by the Yellow River, taken prisoner by the Ming army, or died in civil strife.

Wang Yan stood on the top of the mountain, watched the routs on the river beach, lined up in a long line, discarded his weapons, took off his armor, and was tied with a long rope by the Ming army and escorted to the south.

When he saw the Ming soldiers, tens of thousands of war horses scattered on the hills and river beaches, rushed to one place, and his heart was full of emotion.

As the actual controller of the Ming Dynasty and the formulator of the battle, his reputation as Wang Yan and Wang Shiheng has been unprecedented, and he can write a special book in the annals of history.

It will take at least a day or two to clean up the battlefield, and the specific number of prisoners and captures will definitely not be available in a short time.

Wang Yan then returned to Luoyang first, preparing to summarize the results of the first phase, deploy the tasks of the second phase, and pacify the Central Plains.

When Wang Yan returned to Luoyang, He Zhen, who had pursued the Jin army to the west, happened to return to Luoyang.

The Jin army sent 50,000 troops this time to participate in the Central Plains War, and Meng Qiaofang broke through in time, so in the south of Luoyang, there were also Meng Jindu, and there were less than 20,000 people killed and captured.

Meng Qiaofang led more than 30,000 Jin troops to break through the siege and fled, and more than 10,000 green battalions fled westward together, thinking that he had got rid of the Ming army, and he didn't want to be caught up by the Ming army who came to intercept the rout and flee westward as soon as he arrived in Xin'an.

Just escaped from death, the Jin army and the green battalion soldiers who came down from the battlefield were exhausted, had no morale at all, and did not dare to stop the next battle, so they could only flee desperately in order to survive.

The righteous servants led by He Zhen were not elite troops, the main force was the Mongol soldiers and Tibetans recruited from southern Qinghai and Tibetan areas, their combat power was not particularly strong, but in the face of the rout of the army's morale and no fighting spirit, they were ruthlessly hardened.

He Zhen and Wan Yi followed, chased from Xin'an through Michi, the Jin army ambushed the corpse for more than 60 miles, and was killed more than 15,000 people, until the Jin general Tang Tong out of Tongguan to respond, He Zhen stopped the pursuit and retreated to Luoyang.

Meng Qiaofang fled into Tongguan in a hurry, and on the one hand, he asked Tang Tong to strengthen his defense and collect the defeated army into the pass, and on the other hand, he quickly sent someone to inform Haoge.

Henan Mansion, Luoyang City.

When Wang Yan entered and exited, the people in the city put up lanterns and greeted the king of Chu in the Ming Dynasty with joy, which made the ancient capital of these dynasties jubilant.

Although Luoyang City was greatly affected by the war, it was said that all industries were depressed and the people in the city were also greatly harmed, but they still spontaneously came to welcome the King of Ming Chu.

First, they sincerely thanked His Royal Highness the King of Chu for saving them from fire and water, and second, they hoped to make His Royal Highness the King of Chu happy and reduce taxes for Luoyang and even Henan.

Wang Yan entered the city under the welcome of the people of Luoyang, he straightened his waist all the way, kept waving, kept smiling, and enjoyed the glory of the victor, until he was still happy in front of the palace, and did not end the ceremony of entering the city.

At this time, in front of the Zhishun Palace, Wang Yan and his party turned over and dismounted, which will be where he is in Luoyang.

When Wang Yan walked to the door, he found that he had stepped on something under his feet, and when he looked at it, it was the plaque of Zhishun Palace, which had broken two sections of the city.

Shang Kexi guarded Henan for the Manchu Dynasty for nearly ten years, and the palace was magnificent, brilliant and majestic, but no matter what, his father and son and Kong Youde were captured in Mengjindu, and now they will inevitably end up being slaughtered.

Yesterday's king of Henan, today's vegetable market, is the end he deserves.

Wang Yan stood in front of the palace for a while, and then went to the palace, and saw people coming and going, and as soon as Wang Yan came in, he saw that there was chaos inside.

The dense Ming soldiers rummaged through the boxes and cabinets there, making a mess in the courtyard, and the soldiers kept carrying out boxes of belongings and piling them up in the yard indiscriminately.

The current Ming Dynasty has long passed the period of relying on raids and seizures to maintain the war, but when Wang Yan saw the property in this courtyard, the corners of his mouth were still cracked, and he laughed: "There are really a lot of thieves looting in Henan, which is at least a million!" Haha......"

Yang Yanchang, who was in charge of copying the house, saw Wang Yan when he heard the sound, hurriedly greeted him, and saluted: "See Your Highness!" ”

Wang Yan smiled: "How about the capture?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Yang Yanchang became excited, pointed to the belongings piled up in the yard, and said happily: "Your Highness, Shang Kexi is really good, this is only half, and there are more in the backyard." It is estimated that there is still something underground, and the lowly is ready to let people open the ground and find out all the silver that Shang Kexi hid. ”
