Chapter 417 How to Report Victory

Since the Qing army entered the pass, the Ming army has suffered more defeats and fewer victory.

Although there have been many victories in the past two years, they are the Zhejiang Army and the prince's men, and have little to do with the Ming Army in Huguang.

In recent years, the situation of the Ming army in Huguang has been still hit by the Qing army.

So much so that the Ming army in Huguang was actually very afraid of the Qing army.

Therefore, when many Ming troops on the south bank saw Du Yinxi leading the army to defeat Haoge head-on, and defeated the Qing army with the impact of the Qing cavalry, they were stunned and shocked.

This made Liu Chengyin, Zhang Xianbi and other generals admire, admire, and fear Du Yinxi.

Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers watching the wall also admired Du Yinxi very much, and their hearts were full of awe. When they saw Du Yinxi return, they knelt on one knee to welcome Du Fujun back to the camp.

Previously, He Tengjiao valued people in the south and people in the north, and emphasized personal soldiers and rather than external towns, which inevitably caused some friction between He Tengjiao's trusted generals and the generals in the same group.

They not only encroached on military funds, but also excluded Shunshi soldiers and generals. They also relied on He Tengjiao as their backer and did not take Shunshi's generals seriously and often insulted and bullied them.

Now everyone was scared and knelt in front of the gate, crawling on the ground, indicating surrender.

He Tengjiao rode a horse and followed Du Yinxi. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and was almost pissed to death by these wastes.

However, He Tengjiao knew that Du Yinxi's prestige in the army was at its peak at this time, but he did not dare to say much, for fear that he would be killed by the red-eyed soldiers.

He Tengjiao saw his confidant, all kneeling in front of Du Yinxi, and his heart was full of resentment. He looked at Du Yinxi's back, "Hmph, this time you Du Yinxi won, but it's hard to say who will laugh to the end."

When Du Yinxi saw the scene in front of him, he felt mixed emotions. Seven years ago, the Qing army went south to Huguang. He became the governor of Hunan and began the fight against the Qing Dynasty. After several major battles, he lost more than he won.

The battle of Zhongzhen Camp besieging Jingzhou in the battle, which caused him to be unable to raise his head and breathe for a long time.

In that battle, the Zhongzhen Camp suffered nearly half of its losses, and more than 100,000 soldiers buried their bones in the wilderness. It can be said that it was a permanent pain in Du Yinxi's heart and a lifelong shame, which made him feel ashamed of the Shun soldiers who trusted him. But today, he finally led the Ming soldiers to defeat the Qing army and wash away the shame of the past. Not only did the Shun soldiers be able to look up and be respected by the military and civilians in Huguang.

"Get up!" Du Yinxi looked at the scene in front of him, speechless for a moment, waved for a while, "All the generals discuss matters!"

The Ming soldiers who were kneeling on the ground did not dare to get up, and walked to make way for a passage. After Du Yinxi was surrounded by the generals, he stood up one by one, followed behind and headed towards the commander's tent.

At this time, Du Yinxi entered the tent of the general, but Li Guo suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped He Tengjiao, and said to Li Laiheng: "Take Mr. He to rest."

He Tengjiao's face was pale in an instant, his two trembled slightly, and Li Laiheng's armor was covered with blood, looking murderous intent, and he reached out in a cold voice, "Please, Mr. He."

After all, He Tengjiao was also a person. After panic, he quickly calmed down. He understood Du Yinxi's character and would not do anything to him. The key is that these generals of the same system are afraid that these people will ignore the consequences.

He Tengjiao sorted out his official robe, looked at Li Guo, and calmly said, "You are the ones who are invading, and the emperor and the court officials are wary of you. Although you have made great contributions now, if you want to kill me, you will be afraid of the court. You may have a good end in the future."

Li Guo frowned at Wenyu and ordered Li Laiheng to say, "Take it away!"

In the central army's tent, Du Yinxi sat in the commander's position, and the generals on both sides stood with their hands down and their heads down.

Du Yinxi's eyes glanced at everyone, but his heart was a little heavy. He had made a decision without authorization. In order to make Sun Kewang send troops to Sichuan and restrain the Qing army, he agreed to Sun Kewang's request for title. Although he informed the emperor afterwards, he was very angry.

Emperor Longwu originally relied on him very much, but after this incident, he became much distant from him and was even driven out of the cabinet.

This time he was in charge of the crime, falsely spreading secret orders, launched a mutiny, and seized He Tengjiao's military power. Although the powerful king Kuanglan defeated Haoge and made great contributions, it could not change the nature of this matter.

If the emperor falsely imposes an imperial edict, the following crimes will be committed. This is a serious crime. Once the emperor learns, the Jinyiwei Cavalry will come to capture it.

However, when Du Yinxi was doing this, he thought of this consequence. He was silent for a while and finally retracted his thoughts. He decided to consolidate the results before the Tiqi arrived, so that he could not let the efforts of this battle be wasted.

"This battle was a complete victory. Zhongzhen Camp, Wujie Army, Jiesheng Army and other troops on the north bank to welcome the enemy, and they have made great contributions! I will ask the court for me for you!" Du Yinxi said in a long voice, pausing and raising his voice, "But this is not the time to celebrate the merits. I still need the soldiers of each town to obey the orders, gather their blood, take advantage of the momentum to seize Yuezhou, shake Wuchang, and restore all Chu!"

"I wish to listen to the command of the Fu Jun!" The generals on both sides bowed and clasped their fists, saluted respectfully, and responded loudly.

Du Yinxi then said: "Haoge drew elite troops from Hubei to head south. Now he was defeated by our army and suffered huge losses. He rushed north in a hurry. Hubei will inevitably be shocked. It is a great opportunity for our army to recover lost territory."

As he said that, Du Yinxi stood up and shouted loudly, "Transfer our military orders to leave one to clean up the battlefield. The remaining battalions will set up camps and advance north overnight to reinforce Hao Yaoqi, Chen Youlong, Jiao Lian, and the troops will be sent to Yuezhou."

"Here!" Du Yinxi's prestige was at its peak. No matter what Shunshi or He Tengjiao's soldiers in the army, they dared not have any objection.

Many military generals bowed their fists and shouted, their armors clattered, and the tents were full of murderous tents.

After Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming went east to support Jiangnan, there were only more than 100,000 Qing troops in Hubei.

Now that the Ming army defeated the 50,000 elite troops drawn by Haoge from more than 100,000 Qing troops, the main force of the Qing army in Hubei was completely lost, and all the soldiers realized that the opportunity to make achievements was coming.

He Tengjiao's confidants are not stupid either, and no one dares to raise objections at this time.

When Du Yinxi saw the generals bowing their heads and bowing, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's follow the orders!"

"Here!" Many generals bowed their heads and bowed their hands, and retreated out of the tent. Li Guo, Liu Fangliang and other generals stayed.

Du Yinxi glanced at them and asked, "Why don't you leave when you wait?"

Li Guo walked to the center of the tent and held his fists solemnly, "Do you dare to ask how the Fujun reported the victory to the court?"

Du Yinxi said: "Tell me truthfully!"

Li Guo said in a deep voice: "The last general thinks it is not possible. It is better to kill He Tengjiao first, so as to control the entire army with the prestige of the army. The court must be afraid to attack the crime of the army. Instead, it will use the army more seriously. In this way, the army and us will be safe."

Li Guo and others saw that in the court, the one they could rely on was Du Yinxi. Only Du Yinxi had no prejudice against the Shunshi. If Du Yinxi could kill He Tengjiao and take control of the power of the court, they would not have to worry about being liquidated in the future.

When Du Yinxi heard the words, his face sank, "You are forcing me to be a traitor! He Tengjiao is the chief minister appointed by His Majesty. Killing him is a rebellion. Don't mention this matter again, this official will come to solve it. You just need to serve the court with peace of mind!"
