111 Big win
The next day, the Liaodong governor Sun Chengzong sent people to report in Zunhua City that Beile Dorgon, who was stationed in Zunhua City and Santun Camp in the Later Jin Dynasty, abandoned the city and fled and withdrew from Hongshankou.
The Liaodong governor Sun Chengzong led all the infantry and could not be pursued. The Guanning Iron Cavalry he built in Guanning Jin was now led by Cao Wenzhao and played an indispensable role in the battle of Tongzhou.
Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, and Yuan Chonghuan were in the camp, and advocated taking advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy, launching large-scale troops, advancing from Guanning Jin and Denglai to solve the problem of the Later Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Before Sun Chengzong could come, Yuan Keli was waiting for the order in Denglai. On the way to Hong Chengchou came to the capital, Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng were also in the camp. Luo Feiyu turned to them and asked, "What are your opinions?"
Everyone is already accustomed to the style of the Grand Master Luo Feiyu, so on such occasions, they dare to express their opinions boldly, even if they are not adopted in the end, it doesn't matter.
"Tai Shi!" Lu Xiangsheng took a step forward and replied, "My subordinates thought it was not advisable to be too hasty at this time. First, the weather in Liaodong began to be cold, which was not conducive to the use of troops. Second, the defeat of the Later Jin war in this battle would lead to attacks from each other, and even civil strife might break out. Once the imperial army was in a hurry, it would prompt the Later Jin department to let go of attacks and unanimously go to the outside world."
Luo Feiyu looked at Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang stepped forward and said, "What Lu Shuai said is very good! The subordinates thought that it is not appropriate to launch large-scale troops at this time. There is another reason. Not only does the army need to rest, but the court also needs to rest! In this battle, the army of Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed. Rewards were rewarded in terms of merit and the pension and resettlement of casualties all required a lot of money and food. But now... the national treasury has reached the bottom, and there is insufficient money and food. If it is, it will cost a lot of money and food. Once Liaodong is captured and the guards are pacified, it will cost a lot of money and food. Otherwise, it will lead to various local rebellions and chaos."
"This statement is very true!" Lu Xiangsheng agreed, "It is easy to attack, but it is difficult to defend well, and it is even more difficult to defend well. Since this is the case, why not let the Later Jin Dynasty fight in an internal battle itself, and the court and the army will rest. Once the time comes, the army will be more calm."
"But now Huang Taiji's defeat is an excellent time?" Yuan Chonghuan said.
Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao nodded at the same time to agree.
Luo Feiyu said, "What you said has their own reasons. However, Sun Tzu said that war is a major issue of the country, so we need to plan first and then act, and make plans for the long term. Each department cleans up the battlefield here, and we return to the capital to discuss with the six ministries and nine ministers of the cabinet, and then make a decision."
The Battle of Tongzhou was the most heartwarming victory against the Later Jin in more than ten years. More than ten years ago, in the Battle of Sarhu, more than 100,000 Ming troops were basically destroyed. Now the feng shui has changed, and more than 100,000 elite cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty were wiped out. The news came, and the capital was immediately boiling and the whole country was celebrating.
And all of this is because of the Grand Master Luo Feiyu!
For a time, the name of the Grand Master Luo Feiyu spread again throughout the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces with the great victory over the Later Jin army.
The last time, he killed Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party.
Two times, it was a great achievement!
The victorious army continued to be stationed in Tongzhou, and there was still a lot to do. The Grand Tutor Luo Feiyu led the generals of various armies to return to the capital.
Now the emperor personally led the court officials out of the city to welcome them.
Crown Prince Zhu Yousong sat next to his father Zhu Changxun, looking at the courtiers who were waiting for Grand Master Luo Feiyu in front of him, feeling very uncomfortable.
When his father Zhu Changxun was still King Fu, he was the prince of King Fu. Zhu Changxun ascended the throne as he wished and succeeded to the throne, so he was naturally named the crown prince.
However, the power of his father Zhu Changxun was weakened by the court officials so much that he did not look like an emperor at all, but rather like a puppet of the court officials under the control of the Grand Master Luo Feiyu!
As the prince, he has no power in his hands.
An emperor like this is just a blank shell with just a pretense, what's so rare?
Crown Prince Zhu Yousong couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling very angry.
At this moment, he felt his father Zhu Changxun turn his head and look over, quickly lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and concealed his true thoughts.
He has mentioned this issue more than once to his father Zhu Changxun. But every time, his father Zhu Changxun scolded him, asking him to be content with himself and not to think about it.
But how could this be considered a random thought? Crown Prince Zhu Yousong was so indignant. But there was no one around him, only eunuchs could trust.
When Zhu Yousong was thinking about his own thoughts like this, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and a large group of elite cavalry galloped in.
That was the frame of the Grand Master Luo Feiyu.
However, the Grand Tutor Luo Feiyu did not ride a carriage, but rode a horse, and did not look like a Grand Tutor at all.
No matter how the prince Zhu Yousong looked at it, he felt that the Grand Master Luo Feiyu was not happy. But he also knew that he had no strength and could compete with the Grand Master Luo Feiyu.
He could only lower his eyebrows and carefully cover his inner thoughts behind his eyes and eyelids, so that others could not notice them.
The Grand Tutor Luo Feiyu was around a hundred steps away, and the others followed closely. The Liaodong Governor Sun Chengzong, Denglai Governor Yuan Keli, Ji Town Governor Yuan Chonghuan, Datong Governor Man Gui, Xuanfu Governor Wang Chengyin, assisted in the Rongzheng of the Jingying, and Hong Chengchou, the Northern Zhili Governor Hong Chengchou, Liaodong Governor Cao Wenzhao, and Shaanxi Governor Yang He, all of them were in high spirits, with confidence and smiles after the victory.
This battle can be said to have avenged the previous shame and revitalized the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Under the attention of the Ming Dynasty officials, the Grand Master Luo Feiyu came to Zhu Changxun and paid homage to him as a minister.
Zhu Changxun looked a little fatter. He was supported by the eunuch, reached out to help Luo Feiyu up, laughed and said, "The Grand Master... made such a... unparalleled contribution... is indeed... a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"
Luo Feiyu replied, "Your Majesty... I've been too rewarded. What I want to do is to maintain the eternal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Taizu lineage, and the throne passed down from generation to generation!"
Zhu Changxun laughed again and asked the eunuch to support him and walked side by side with Luo Feiyu.
This was just a ceremony. Luo Feiyu's answer was just a statement in front of the saint Zhu Changxun and the court officials.
However, the restriction of imperial power is the price that the descendants of the Zhu family must pay for sitting on the throne. This arrangement is the more primitive constitutional monarchy. When the court and the outside world get used to it, they will gradually go further and improve the primitive constitutional monarchy.
After the cumbersome ceremony, Luo Feiyu finally returned to his study and stretched comfortably.
In front of him, the image of the jade seal was as solid as the substance. The progress bar below arched a lot forward and reached the position of 70.
Judging from this, the progress bar will not reach 100 before the Later Jin Dynasty was destroyed. However, Luo Feiyu agreed with Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng's opinions. It was not a good time to take advantage of the hot iron to send troops to Liaodong. Fortunately, Sun Chengzong was more inclined to this opinion, and kept his troops in motion, allowing the troops to attack each other, so that the Ming Dynasty could provoke and appease them and further weaken the power of the Later Jin Dynasty.
The next thing to do is to solve the tax problem. For this reason, Luo Feiyu has made up his mind to go to Jiangnan to get this matter done.
