Chapter 108： Victory South

The news that Wu Changqing defeated the main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army reached Shaoxing in just over two days.

With this prehistoric victory, Qian Sule’s messenger made two horses run to death without stopping, in order to send the news back to the court as soon as possible.

The imperial court had known about Wu Changqing leading troops northward, and this period of time has been nervously waiting for news of the war.

Even those who don't like Wu Changqing are praying that Wu Changqing will not fail, otherwise they will definitely not be able to resist Man Qing's iron cavalry.

"Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed, Wu Guogong defeated the main force of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty in Changzhou, destroying more than 70,000 enemies."

Zhang Guowei opened the battle report, and his hands trembled to announce the good news.

When Manchao Wenwu heard this carefully, his surprised eyes were about to fall to the ground.

How can this be possible to destroy 70,000 enemies? How could soldiers of the Han army be so powerful?

In the past, the Ming army soldiers performed so badly that Wu Changqing won a big victory, and the officials in the court refused to believe it.

"In this campaign, Wu Guogong led a decisive battle with 80,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry from Danyang and Boluo, beheading more than 20,000 enemy troops, capturing more than 40,000 people, and annihilating 70,000 enemy troops in total. An army of 120,000, but fewer than 40,000 fled back to Nanjing..."

Zhang Guowei read the battle report in detail, but this battle report is also a simplified version, at least it does not say that they captured the British prince Azig.

Qian Sule is also to avoid the intensification of conflict between Wu Changqing and Zhu Yihai. Now it is the critical moment to regain Nanjing, so you can't fight because of this.

There are too many things to fight in the Daming Wo to withstand the toss.

"Sixty thousand and one hundred twenty thousand, of which there are 40,000 cavalry. This way, 70,000 enemy troops can be wiped out. Is this report true and reliable?"

The scholar Zhu Dadian couldn't help but question, it is really incredible that this battle report.

In his early years, he was a veteran who fought many times in Liaodong and Manchu, and he was very clear about the combat power of the Qing army.

Want to break his brain, he couldn't think of how to win such a battle, and it was still a big victory.

As for what the hollow phalanx was mentioned in the battle report, he couldn't imagine.

"This is an autograph letter from Qian Yushi and Xiong Shangshu, so naturally it cannot be faked."

Zhang Guowei said.

"how did you do that?"

"Wu Guogong's army is so elite."

"Unbelievable, unbelievable."

Above the court, it suddenly became a vegetable market. The officials had forgotten the etiquette and talked a lot. All kinds of exclamation words, one after another.

"With this big victory, the recovery of Nanjing is just around the corner."

Zhu Yihai didn't mind the gaffe of the officials. In fact, his heart was extremely excited at this time.

"For such great achievements, Your Majesty needs to give rewards and boost morale."

Zhang Guowei reminded.

Reward for merit is the most important duty of an emperor. However, when it comes to rewards, Zhu Yihai is in trouble.

Wu Changqing is already the Duke of the country, so he can't immediately reward the king with a different surname. This throne is ready to wait for Wu Changqing to win Nanjing.

There is no way to reward officials and titles. He doesn't have any silver. It is a bit outrageous to reward women, and it is too strange to reward treasures.

"Your Majesty can reward his wife as the second-rate imperial wife, and posthumously named his late father as the country's lord."

Zhu Dadian suggested that since there is no way to reward Wu Changqing, then reward his family. I once rewarded Wu Changqing’s mother, but now I reward Wu Changqing’s wife and father who has passed away.

This kind of reward not only gave Wu Changqing a lot of face, but did not require much practical benefit.

Wu Zhifan is already dead, and there is no price to pay for the title of a duke. As for the second-class madam who rewarded Chen Yuyan, it was only an honorary title, with a small amount of salary each year and no real power.

"Aiqing is right."

Zhu Yihai was very satisfied with this suggestion. He even thought of a good idea from time to time. After Wu Changqing had a child, he could give his child a knighthood early.

In short, the core point is to catch people around Wu Changqing to reward them, and don't reward Wu Changqing himself.

"Your Majesty, now the recovery of Nanjing is expected, the ministers please send troops to Huzhou, from Xuancheng to the north to take Nanjing directly."

Fang Guoan stood up and said that he found that staying behind could no longer make a profit, so he wanted to go to the front line to pick up bargains just like Qian Sule and the others.

Now that the Qing army is defeated, morale must be low. If they can take this opportunity to break through Huzhou and Xuancheng, they can go all the way north to Nanjing.

It would be great if he could capture Nanjing before Wu Changqing, and he could take the throne from Wu Changqing.

"That's great."

Zhu Yihai was also overjoyed when he saw that Fang Guoan was willing to take the initiative to send troops.

He now feels that Wu Changqing is a bit too powerful. If Fang Guoan can go to the front line to develop and grow, it can also be used to counterbalance Wu Changqing and at the same time regain lost ground.

Inwardly, Zhu Yihai even hoped that Fang Guoan would come to restore Nanjing instead of Wu Changqing.

For Fang Guoan, Zhu Yihai knows the roots and is relatively familiar.

As for Wu Changqing, Zhu Yihai is still very strange and very jealous.

He also knew that Wu Changqing made some small moves in Wusong and other places. All signs indicate that Wu Changqing is not a particularly loyal courtier, at least very assertive.

It's just that now he needs to rely heavily on Wu Changqing, so he can only open one eye and close the other, without saying much.

Zhu Dadian sneered at Fang Guoan's request.

He didn't think that Fang Guoan had anything to do to regain Nanjing, let alone hit Nanjing, whether he could take Huzhou was a problem, just one Li Chengdong could make Fang Guoan stare.

Wu Changqing's ability to defeat the Qing army does not mean that others can do it.

For example, He Tengjiao in Jiangxi, Hunan, who clearly has a military advantage, has now been defeated by Lekhedhun.

Seeing Wu Changqing defeated the Qing army, he thought that the Qing army was easy to deal with. This idea is too naive.

Although Zhu Dadian did not think that Fang Guoan would be able to achieve the results of the war, he did not say anything to oppose it, and even wished Fang Guoan to roll to the north quickly.

In this way, they can re-recruit an army loyal to them in Shaoxing.

Zhu Yihai also had this idea in his heart, and he always wanted to form an army directly under him. However, there is a big problem that has been bothering him, that is, lack of money.

It costs money to raise the army, and nothing is worth saying if there is no money.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Yihai left with important ministers such as Zhang Guowei, Zhu Dadian, Song Zhipu, etc., and negotiated with them to officially open the ports of trade, and then adopt taxes and raise the army from them.

This is not a simple matter for him, the ancestral family law is a big problem.

Of course, as long as the officials support, this problem can be solved, as long as the use of calming the troubled times as an excuse, most people can actually understand.

But if the ministers don't support it, and he doesn't play with each beep, he can't do anything about it.

"The reason why Wu Guogong can afford to raise so many troops depends on opening the sea to ban commercial tax collection. We want to form a new army, and this must be the way to have financial resources."

Zhang Guowei said that he supports the opening of the sea ban.

"I'm afraid the Qingliu people will take the Taizu's family instructions to talk about it."

Zhu Dadian said.

"The world is almost gone. What is the use of keeping the ancestral motto? I have decided to officially open the sea ban in Hangzhou and Ningbo, and you can freely trade with Westerners. Zhang Aiqing, you are the only one who pays attention to tax collection. One cent of tax silver is missing. Our new army is counting on this batch of silver."

Zhu Yihai said, in order to control the military power, he has no longer cared about ancestral training.
