September of the first year of Chongzhen.
Nurhaci personally led the army of the Later Jin Dynasty to detour through Mongolia, break the mouth of Xifeng, and went straight to many important towns in Zunhua Jizhou. The troops arrived at the capital and swept across the world. When the news came, the world was shaking, the country's fortune was shaking, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty took a sharp turn!
By October, the emperor personally led the Emperor to the commander of the brave guard and the general Li Xiu, who personally led the Yongwei camp to Beijing to serve the king. He wiped out nearly 20,000 Huang Taiji's army in Fangshan area, captured Huang Taiji alive, wiped out the decline of the country and supported the generals!
In times of crisis, he led the Governor of Beijing and Ji, controlled the king's troops in the world, and defeated Nurhaci in a battle in the capital!
He also wiped out Nurhaci's remaining troops in Huairou area and killed Nurhaci!
Save the country from danger, and support the building from the fallen!
This urgent military report was also made public after receiving the news of Nurhaci's death in the capital, and even sent a large group of postmen to send them to various parts of the Ming Dynasty, which was very meaningful to take this huge victory to wipe out the decline of the Ming Dynasty and renew everything!
In fact, this is also true. The turmoil caused by Nurhaci's long journey and sweeping across the world also came to peace in an instant under the military report of this great victory.
No one is as turbulent as the Later Jin army, which was almost completely wiped out, nor is it as the Huang Taiji who was captured alive, nor is it as the Nurhaci who was killed by the formation!
Of course, it is even more impossible to turn the tide, support the building and save the country from danger, and superintendent Li, who is trying to turn the tide, help the building fall, and save the country from danger!
Li Xiu's name was also completely famous throughout the world with the Ming Dynasty's publicity on this battle!
After all, the troubles of the Later Jin Dynasty plagued the Ming Dynasty for decades!
Especially in the northern border, they are even more afraid of the Later Jin Dynasty!
The Jurchens were not satisfied with ten thousand and were invincible. They had almost become an invincible curse in the miserable defeats day after day, year after year!
And now, this curse is also shattered under this incredible magnificent victory!
Just like Yuan Chonghuan, who was in charge of Ningyuan and was still entangled with the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty, was stunned for a long time after receiving the news of this great victory, and never came back to his senses.
The main force of the Later Jin Dynasty was completely wiped out? Huang Taiji was captured alive? Nurhaci was killed in formation?
Isn't this a joke?
Isn't this a fantasy?
Yuan Chonghuan seemed to have a little doubt about life!
But when he saw that the main forces of the Later Jin Dynasty who were still entangled with him all retreated, the Later Jin Dynasty was in a funeral...
Yuan Chonghuan suddenly realized that this... is not a fantasy, it is a fact that has happened!
Li Xiu, this name, was also like a heavy hammer, deeply imprinted in his heart!
"How is that possible?"
"How could it be done?"
Yuan Chonghuan is already a little doubtful about life!
Even if he leads troops into the capital and can force Nurhaci to retreat, that is the most perfect result.
Completely annihilated, captured alive? Slashed in formation?
He never dared to think like this in his dream!
But soon, a cruel reality was placed in front of Yuan Chonghuan and Liaodong generals.
After this battle, it is unlikely that Li Xiu, who is now awe-inspiring world, would have been to maintain his special status as before!
Even with this incredibly magnificent victory, the status of Liao Town will only become more and more embarrassing and sad!
After all, you can’t see the rewards when you work hard, but this is true in the whole world, and no one will say anything.
Moreover, before, before this great victory, the imperial court and the emperor could only rely on Liao Town, so they could only follow Liao Town!
But with this great victory, with Li Xiu and the Yongwei Battalion that completely wiped out the Later Jin army, the emperor in the court had more than the choice of Liao Town!
Yuan Chonghuan was full of thoughts, and the court officials were full of thoughts.
The ultimate reason is that there was great controversy over the reward for Li Xiu.
In the eyes of court officials, the Governor of Jingji was just a temporary position, and the war was over, so it would naturally be banned.
After all, all military affairs of the Governor of Beijing and Ji mean that all military affairs in Beijing and Ji are coordinated and governed by Li Xiu.
In this way, where are the court officials and where are the nobles who regard the Beijing camp as their own land!
Not to mention, the hidden dangers and dangers brought by the right of the Governor of Jingji!
Of course, there are more than these disputes and contradictions.
But the most important point is that with the prestige of supporting the building to the forefront, Li Xiu is now a giant that no one dares to ignore, and it really makes many court officials feel a great threat!
Whether it is his disgust for military generals to interfere in politics, or his offense to his own interests, or his concerns about military generals causing trouble to the country...
There are too many things that cannot be said about both public and private.
The controversy continued, and Zhu Youjian did not force it this time.
Instead, the remnants of the enemy were not destroyed, and the military affairs in various places in Beijing and Ji were in ruins. The proposal to abolish the Governor General of Beijing and Ji was temporarily put to an end. The proposal to abolish the Governor General of Beijing and Ji was concluded, and the court trend was reversed to the discussion on rewards.
And rewards are obviously unavoidable.
No matter how much the court officials had, they could only pinch their noses and discuss the rewards for the war heroes.
Of course, Zhu Youjian’s battle of wits and courage between the court officials was indispensable, and his reward proposals were repeatedly beaten back by Zhu Youjian.
The courtiers were helpless.
After all, Ningyuan's great victory was just a battle to defend the city, and it was just a killing of hundreds or thousands of thieves.
Yuan Chonghuan ascended to heaven in one step, became the commander of Ji Liao, and gave him all the sword. This was discussed by the court officials.
Nowadays, such a great contribution to saving the country from danger is not an exaggeration to reward you.
They could only pinch their noses, refreshing their bottom line again and again, and increasing the boundaries of reward levels.
Of course, everything in the court has nothing to do with Li Xiu at the moment.
Although he was the governor of Beijing and Ji, in fact, he had not set foot in the capital once when he led his army to Beijing this time.
Now that the war is over, he will naturally have more things to do.
The war was already fully coordinated by him, the Governor of Beijing and Ji, and naturally he was fully arranged after the war.
For example, the arrangements of these Mongolian tribes, as well as the statistics of the terrifying wealth that the Later Jin robbed in Beijing and Ji, the death and injury of soldiers and generals, and the removal of the remaining bandits...
Too many things almost made him dizzy. He was too lazy to pay attention to the conspiracy and plot in the court.
One battle was successful.
It has undoubtedly exceeded Li Xiu's expectations and plans.
But the price is also great.
The Yongwei Battalion has nearly 25,000 soldiers and generals, and nearly half of them have been lost in this battle!
Of course, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the loss of troops is naturally greater!
According to a rough statistics, even if the casualties and injuries of the Yongwei Camp were not included in this battle, more than 100,000 soldiers and generals in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were killed or injured.
Not to mention the people who were slaughtered by the carriage, there are countless!
As for the losses of economic and livelihood, or the ecological losses of the people's livelihood in the entire Jingji area, it is no longer measurable!
Just by seizing the gold, silver and treasures robbed by the Later Jin, rough statistics have reached nearly five million taels!
You should know that in the sixth year of the Tianqi revelation, the tax revenue for the whole year of the Ming Dynasty was less than 4 million taels!
Just the robbed property has exceeded the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty in the year!
And this astronomical property is only part of it. The losses are naturally not a small number of in the chaos. Moreover, there are several Mongolian tribes who have returned to the grassland safely with the robbed goods. Of course, the robbed population is naturally impossible for them to take away.
And this is just gold, silver and wealth.
These are not the focus of the plunder of the Later Jin Dynasty. The main plunder of the Later Jin Dynasty is population and food!
A large number of officials have been dispatched to pile up in the mountains of food and grass. After counting the days and nights, no results have been made.
From these alone, we can see how terrifying the damage caused by Nurhaci's ravage to the entire Jingji area!
In history, Huang Taiji had entered the pass so many times, treating the north of the Ming Dynasty as his back garden of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Such a ravage, such a blow, and coupled with natural disasters and man-made disasters, how could the Ming Dynasty not perish?
