Chapter 758: The Fall of Dongchang Mansion Find another way
If you want to withdraw to Kaifeng Mansion, it is not so simple, not to mention anything else, Jiulongyu has become a hell on earth, the corpses are piled up like a mountain, if these things are left alone, but it is very easy to cause the plague, once the plague becomes a disaster, it will bring a more cruel disaster to Henan and even the entire Central Plains, you must know that the plague has only passed for more than two years, and everyone is still apprehensive.
All the soldiers of the Tianwei Army went out, constantly piled up the corpses, burned them on the spot, and it took two full days to clean up all this, as for the war horses, prisoners, ordnance and weapons left by the Qing army, they were all brought back to Kaifeng Mansion by the Tianwei Army.
It can be said that this war Tianwei army has made a fortune, and more than 10,000 people have been captured, according to Zhu Jie's habits, these people have only one fate, all of them will be sent to the mine for mining, in addition to the prisoners, there are nearly 20,000 war horses, more than 40,000 pieces of knives and guns, more than 40,000 pieces of various weapons, tens of thousands of sets of strong bows, more than 100,000 feather arrows, and thousands of military rations carried by the Qing army, thousands of taels of gold, and more than 50,000 taels of silver!
The most important thing is nearly 20,000 war horses and ordnance, these are strategic resources that can't be bought with silver, all of them are cheaper Tianwei Army, really answer that sentence, no guns, no artillery, the enemy made it for us!
Zhu Shunshui of Kaifeng Mansion had already gotten the news, and directly led the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to go out of the city for ten miles, and welcomed Zhu Jie and others into the governor's yamen!
"The merit of the world, the merit of the world! Lord Xu, this battle has removed all the haze of my Ming Dynasty in the past six months, and when I tell the world, the Ming Dynasty will not collapse, and the Ming Dynasty can have generals, which is the blessing of the society and the blessing of the emperor! Master Overseer, please bow down to your subordinates! ”
Entering the yamen, Zhu Shunshui's face was full of excitement, and he bowed to Xu Yifan to the ground, this worship is not only Zhu Shunshui himself, but also represents millions of people in Henan Province, if it is not for the defeat of the Manchurian West Route Army in World War I, then once Henan falls, millions of Henan people will suffer.
"Brother Shunshui is polite, Ben Du really doesn't dare to be!"
Zhu Shunshui is famous all over the world, looking at one side, Xu Yifan is only in his twenties, where dare to accept Zhu Shunshui's gift, and hurriedly flashed aside!
"What to hide!"
Zhu Shunshui shouted unhappily, "This worship is not that I, Zhu Shunshui, want to worship you, but the seven million people in Henan want to worship you!" Overseer, you deserve it! ”
Xu Yifan smiled bitterly: "Okay, Brother Shunshui, now is not the time to evaluate merit and reward, if you talk about merit, my Mufeng brother is the first merit, without him in the hinterland of Zhili to stir up the Manchurian Tartar day and night, no matter how powerful this governor is, he can only be trapped and guard Huifu can't move......"
"Same, same!"
Zhu Shunshui said with a smile: "Jiangmen Shuangjiao, you two brothers deserve it, I have to admire the emperor, you will be pulled out of the recklessness at a glance, in just two or three years, you have already become a famous general from an unknown pawn, except for the emperor, I can never find a second saint who knows people like this!" ”
Zhu Shunshui glanced at the exit, and everyone present nodded, it can be said that without Zhu Jie, where did the Ming generals star group come from who is now shining in the world? Xu Yifan can be said to have been taught by Lu Xiangsheng, but what about Qin Mufeng? What about the plug, what about Song Jiaxing? What about Duan Xuan? Which one is not a famous party and is in charge?
"Brother Shunshui, don't talk about this, this governor will not stay in Kaifeng any longer, repair one day today, and tomorrow, he will lead the army to go out again, the materials needed by the army, how have you prepared?"
Xu Yifan asked.
Zhu Shunshui's eyes narrowed into a line, and replied: "Supervisor, rest assured, this Ming Dynasty can now quickly prepare military supplies except for Nanjing is my Kaifeng Mansion, Nanjing City, the Ministry of War has once again allocated a large number of military salaries, 50,000 stone grain and grass, 500,000 taels of silver, 20,000 shells, 20 red-coated heavy artillery, 300 muskets, 500 boxes of musket fixed projectiles, so many materials are enough to support the army to fight for a month or two, not to mention that my Kaifeng Mansion is still producing bows and arrows, but unfortunately my Kaifeng Town is useless, As soon as he went to the battlefield in Caozhou, he suffered a defeat, which made the Tartars beat the flowers, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi were famous, in fact, it was difficult to deputy......"
Xu Yifan shook his head and replied: "Brother Shunshui, you are arrogant, the soldiers of Kaifeng Town have just been formed, and there is a lack of experienced generals and veterans in the army, and the combat power is naturally weak, even if the two generals Liu and Yuan can fight, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, after all, the two of them have just taken over Kaifeng Town for less than a month, the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, and they are facing the elite cavalry of Manchuria, it is strange not to suffer losses, after this battle, I think the new army of Kaifeng Town will grow up, and the others are not much to say, The military situation is urgent, I will ship supplies today, and early tomorrow morning, I will lead the army eastward! ”
"Leading the army eastward?"
Zhu Shunshui was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Master Inspector, how can you, why are you moving east?" Wasn't it crossed by the Yellow River? What about Weihui Mansion? ”
Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "Brother Shunshui, the Duoduo army is hoarding the Daimyo's Mansion, if I want to attack forcibly, I will not be able to take the Daimyo's Mansion in the short term, it is very likely that I will be bitten by Duoduo back, and the rabbit will kick the eagle when he is in a hurry, and gallop from the Daimyo's Mansion to help Mufeng them, that is impossible, only let go of the Daimyo's Mansion, attack all the way from Caozhou to Dongchang Mansion, bypass the Daimyo, and go straight to the hinterland of Zhili!" ”
Before Xu Yifan's words fell, a servant outside the yamen hurriedly ran up, bowed down and said, "Lord Qiqi, Lord Futai, Dongchang Mansion is urgent!" ”
Xu Yifan raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Urgent report? What's the situation? Bring people in! ”
After a short time, a scout dressed man walked in briskly and fell to his knees!
"Lord Qiqi, just the day before yesterday, Wu Sangui and He Luohui led a large army to storm Dongchang Mansion for half a month, the defenders of Dongchang Mansion suffered casualties, the city wall was destroyed by artillery, and Dongchang Mansion still fell!"
What the?
The generals and officials present all stood up, and as soon as they defeated Jilharang's Western Route Army, Dongchang Mansion fell!
Xu Yifan was even more shocked, his original plan was to rush from Caozhou to Dongchang Mansion to stabilize the situation and take Qin Mufeng's right town of Nanjing out, but now that Dongchang Mansion has fallen, it will be difficult to go north to bypass the Daimyo's Mansion!
"One sail, one sail!"
Yang Chengzu was shocked for a long time before he said: "Dongchang Mansion has fallen, how can we bypass the Daimyo's Mansion?" How long can this pastoral style last in Shunde Mansion? How's that for good? ”
Xu Yifan said coldly: "How is it good?" Since this road is not passable, there is only another way, the big deal is to storm the Daimyo's Mansion, even if it is a big price to rescue the right town of Nanjing! ”
