693 Governor Togo
At this time, the Dongwu army, their king was dead, and their aces and war elephants had already fled their lives. In this case, no one could have the power to turn the world back.
The Ming cavalry continued to hunt down Dongwu's soldiers, so that they would not have a chance to breathe. The other soldiers in the Yongwei Battalion, except for the heavy armored infantry, also began to break into pieces and chase them with small flags or general flags.
"Those who surrender are exempt from death..."
Outside Awa City, the roar of the Ming army sounded. This shout was called in Dongwu Word. It was the only word that all the Ming army soldiers learned before the war began.
The Dongwu soldiers who fled in a panic had no breakfast and had no stomachs. Besides, how could they run over four legs? After hearing the words "Surrenderers avoid death", the Dongwu soldiers who could not escape first threw their weapons and knelt down and surrendered.
Regardless of whether the surrender is really avoiding death, you can't escape anyway, so you'll just surrender!
Some people take the lead, and some people follow.
When the Ming soldiers saw those who knelt down and surrendered, they did not kill anymore, but instead followed these people to pursue the fleeing soldiers. In this way, the other soldiers of Dongwu army dared to escape again, and they knelt down and surrendered in anger.
The Battle of Ava, which began in the early morning, ended before noon.
Looking at the Dongwu soldiers kneeling outside Awa City and the Ming soldiers scattered everywhere enjoying the joy of victory, they cheered loudly.
"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
"Long live my emperor!"
“…”
The civil servants and generals around Emperor Chongzhen also expressed their highest respect to him.
His own emperor once again led them to an overwhelming victory, and his wise and powerful emperors were truly defeated by all emperors!
Emperor Chongzhen himself was also very happy. If the previous war was still played by the golden finger, this time the decisive battle in Awa City was entirely due to the elite of the Ming army!
With Dongwu's army, you can see the power of the Ming soldiers at once. From then on, Dongwu will definitely be frightened. Dongwu is included in the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has an outlet to enter the West.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the Dongwu army soldiers kneeling outside Awa City, and thought to himself that at least there is no shortage of labor to build Yunnan road traffic in the short term.
There were too many prisoners of Dongwu, and even the Qin army led by Zheng Chongjian had to go to the battlefield to help.
When the war ended, all generals returned to Emperor Chongzhen to resume the order.
Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji all smiled, but there was a hint of admiration on their faces, and they walked behind Yan Yingyuan.
"Mr. Yan is really good!" Cao Bianjiao had to admit that Yan Yingyuan's courage and arrow skills really made him admire him.
After hearing this, Huang Degong nodded and agreed, "I thought the Yongwei Camp was going to be bad at that time. Fortunately, Lord Yan stood up and shot it, it was really a magical shot!"
Zhou Yuji was convinced at this time and said to Yan Yingyuan with a smile: "My old Zhou usually only obeys Governor Lu, who can be civil and martial, and can be the governor, and can fight in front of the formation to destroy the Jianlu of Liaodong. Now, my old Zhou has another person I admire, Lord Yan, great!"
His words compared Yan Yingyuan and Lu Xiangsheng.
When Yan Yingyuan heard this, he quickly replied: "I dare not, I dare not, I am not sure, Lord Lu can be defeated by Mr. Yan!"
He said this not to be modest, but to think so.
At least, Lu Xiangsheng was a serious Jinshi, so he was not as good as that. In addition, Lu Xiangsheng fought south and north, and his opponent was the fierce Liaodong Jianlu and the thieves who had been rampant for a while. This time his opponent was just a group of Dongwu barbarians, not the same level of opponents.
But even though he said so, the three generals did not despise them for this.
Before the war, Emperor Chongzhen's love for Yan Yingyuan was obvious to all. Later, they put Yan Yingyuan into the army and they also guessed that it must be that Yan Yingyuan made some contributions, so that it would be easier to use.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yingyuan was also very successful. At the critical moment, under the attention of the crowd, he really turned the tide and set the hole in three arrows!
With this manifestation, they all believe that Yan Yingyuan will definitely be valued.
More importantly, Yan Yingyuan took the civil servant route, and the concept of civil servants being lighter than military officials still deeply influenced them. Therefore, how dare they look down on Yan Yingyuan?
As expected, after arriving at the emperor, the emperor was really happy and praised Yan Yingyuan.
By the evening, the entire battlefield had been cleared, and the central army tent was filled with people, and all the generals gathered all the situation in front of the imperial court.
In this battle, the Ming Dynasty had only 30,000 troops, while the Dongwu army had a total of 250,000 troops, with a huge difference in strength. However, the Ming army had a total of 1,356 people killed and injured 2,876 people; the Dongwu army had killed more than 16,000 people, including the Dongwu king Talong; and the Dongwu army had captured a total of more than 200,000 soldiers;
It can be said that this is a great victory with few wins, and it will surely be like other famous victory with few wins, and will remain in history forever!
Emperor Chongzhen was of course very happy about this and immediately announced that Dongwu would be changed to a provincial government and granted Yan Yingyuan the Jinshi and the deputy chief censor Dongwu, who was the governor of Dongwu and was in charge of Dongwu's military and political power.
Although everyone, including Yan Yingyuan himself, thought that Yan Yingyuan would be valued by the emperor. However, they did not expect that the emperor would use Yan Yingyuan so much. For a moment, everyone congratulated Yan Yingyuan, and Yan Yingyuan was also very excited and thanked God for his kindness!
He didn't know who had mentioned him to the emperor, but the emperor's love for him was revealed from the moment he met. The emperor's grace of knowing the encounter made him secretly swear that he would be trampled on his heart and should also manage Dongwu well.
Yan Yingyuan naturally didn't know that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen valued him so much was that he was moved by Yan Yingyuan's performance in another plane. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he would rather die than surrender. His desperate poem once touched him in later generations.
On the 80th day of the year, he was loyal to Taizu and represented a figure in the 17th dynasty.
One hundred thousand people have the same heart to die, and they have left the country of Ming Dynasty for three hundred miles.
In addition, strictly speaking, Donggo's side was just after the decisive battle, and it wiped out the main force of Donggo's army and killed their king. However, the south side of Donggo had not yet been pacified, and the son of King Tattori did not capture or see the body alive. There were still many things to do on Donggo's side.
Emperor Chongzhen did not plan to stay in Togo this year, and continued to go south until the entire Togo was captured. After the war, he was about to return to Yunnan and deal with the matters in Annan.
For the matter with Togo, there must be a capable person to take charge of the overall situation.
The three-sided governor Zheng Chongjian still has to go back to the three-sided side. Now Yan Yingyuan, who has won the victory with three arrows, can be both literary and military, and will definitely be powerful to Dongwu! With him here, I believe that he can do everything that Dongwu will do next.
It was precisely based on this idea that Emperor Chongzhen did not care about Yan Yingyuan's "diploma" and directly promoted Yan Yingyuan to the Governor of Dongwu.
At this time, based on past experience, the arrival of Donggo rainy season will only take about ten days and half a month. Of course, it may be ahead of time or delayed. In this era when there is no weather forecast, I can only guess blindly.
Emperor Chongzhen did not stay in Awa City for a long time and announced a series of personnel appointments, mainly the chief officials of government officials in various places. He also received the tribes that had surrendered before and encouraged them. He also asked their sons who were suitable for their age to study at the Imperial College in the Capital.
Of course, we must introduce Yan Yingyuan. When these people from the Dongwu tribe heard that the one who ruled them was the legendary brave Arrow God, they were all very awe. This kind of awe is no less than the awe of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
On the third day after the victory of the Battle of Awa, Emperor Chongzhen led his troops back to Yunnan and took the 150,000 prisoners selected to Yunnan.
The three-sided governor Zheng Chongjian led 5,000 Qin soldiers to take charge of Yan Yingyuan for a period of time in Awa, so that Yan Yingyuan had enough strength to form his own local army and appease the people, and waited until the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Chen Qiyu sent troops to come. When all the settlements were made, Zheng Chongjian led the Qin soldiers back to Shaanxi and no longer went to Annan. Their military rewards would not be received after they returned.
On the day Emperor Chongzhen set off, all the men and women in the Awa area came. For them, it would probably be this time to see the emperor's emperor's commander in their lifetime. If they didn't come, they would never see each other again and would not be qualified to brag about their descendants.
In addition, the reputation of Emperor Chongzhen was spread rapidly during this happy day, so that the people of Dongwu knew that the Ming Emperor fought south and north, and was invincible and defeated, and any opponent would end up with a crushing defeat. It is no wonder why the Ming Emperor could lead so few troops to conquer King Long. No matter how powerful Yan Zhongcheng was, he was only a general under the Ming Emperor.
Especially the reputation of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who loved the people as much as his son has spread. The people in Dongwu Province are very much looking forward to any improvement in their lives after they become the people of Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they also want to send them off and now they are their own monarch.
This is a crowded group of people to see off, and when Emperor Chongzhen arrived in Yunnan, this is a crowded group of people to welcome him.
Because there has been a notice in advance, not only officials led by Chen Qiyu and Mu Tianbo came to greet him, but also ordinary people who did not ask for it, and they also came to greet him from a very distant place.
The military disaster that Dongwu brought to Yunnan can be said to have affected many generations of people in Yunnan. Now the emperor has completely solved it in less than two months. Who would not celebrate the welcome?
