Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 417, a great victory, or a great victory
With the start of the war, the entire capital city was less noisy and more restless than before.

From the emperor Hongzhi at the height of the temple, the ministers of the court to the ordinary people, everyone is waiting anxiously, waiting for the news from the frontline battlefield.

On a teahouse in the capital, many tea drinkers are drinking tea and holding a newspaper in their hands, discussing with their friends from time to time.

"It's been a few days, and there is still no news, and I don't know if this battle can be won."

"It's definitely possible, my Daming will win!"

"Yes, Daming will win."

"Didn't the Ming Morning Post say that this time, the total amount of donations in our capital alone has exceeded [-] million taels, and Tianjin has also raised [-] million taels of silver. The people in the Prince's Mansion are also I went to all over the country to raise donations, and good news came one after another, and I heard that [-] million taels of silver were raised in the Jiangnan area alone."

"If calculated in this way, the silver donations from our entire Ming Dynasty can exceed [-] million taels. Even if we use silver to smash these tartars, we will smash them to death."

"I went to donate another ten taels of silver today, and I can buy one-tenth of the head of a Tartar."

"The tartars went south repeatedly, killing my people, robbing my money, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil. The court should have done this long ago, punish them severely, and let them know that I can't be bullied."

"Anyone who offends me will be punished even if he is far away!"

"..."

In the whole teahouse, everyone is constantly discussing. Although they are waiting anxiously, everyone is quite confident about this battle, because the money raised is really too much. Propaganda, the entire Daming is united.

The huge amount of funds raised and countless supplies are being continuously transported to the front line to support the battle on the front line.

"Boom~Boom~"

"Quickly, quickly, quickly~"

"Eight hundred miles urgent, eight hundred miles urgent~"

"Hukou Pass Great Victory ~ Hukou Pass Great Victory."

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes from the wide street outside the teahouse, and at the same time, the orderly on horseback screamed excitedly as he hurried towards the palace.

It is strictly forbidden to gallop on horses in the streets of the capital, especially in this street in the center, it is even more strictly forbidden to gallop on horses, but there is one exception, that is, the messengers who are related to the important affairs of the court are allowed.

The young and old here in the capital also understand this, so they hurried to both sides of the road when they heard this voice, watching the messengers with flags on their backs rushing towards the palace, and at the same time, the sound of great victory sounded in their ears sound.

"Hukou Pass Great Victory~"

"Hukou Pass Great Victory~"

As the messengers drove, the news about the great victory at Hukou Pass spread throughout the entire capital, and in an instant, the capital, which had seemed somewhat lifeless, exploded in an instant.

"Haha~ Great victory, great victory at Hukou Pass~"

"Da Ming will win!"

In the streets and alleys of the capital, smiles finally appeared on the faces of people.

The money I donated worked. The army of the East Road successfully captured the Hukou Pass, cutting off the way for the Tatars to retreat to the north, and successfully realized the plan of closing the door and beating dogs.

"Good~"

Above the teahouse, everyone heard the figure of the messenger very clearly, and there was a round of applause immediately.

"Da Ming will win!"

Then the many guests in the teahouse shouted together like everyone else, and their voices spread out of the teahouse to the street next to them.

"Da Ming will win!"

The people on the street also shouted immediately, wave after wave, more and more joined in, and began to respond continuously, like a wave, sweeping the streets and alleys of the capital.

In the palace, Emperor Hongzhi was discussing with the main ministers in the court about the war with the Tartars.

Since the beginning of the war, Emperor Hongzhi had hardly closed his eyes, and slept very late every day, waiting for news from the front line all the time.

This battle is really too important.

This was the biggest battle since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, and it was also the biggest military operation that Ming launched against the prairie people since the Tumubao Incident.

He can't sleep~
He is also afraid~
The lessons of the Tumu Fortress incident are still deeply hurting Daming's nerves. Even now, there are still ministers at the top of the court who are advocating peace, thinking that we should get along with the grassland people in a friendly way and not go to war. , Daming is bound to be in danger.

He was very anxious every day, he couldn't sleep well after eating, and whenever someone came, he would think that there was some news from the front line, so that he was excited and scared.

The excitement is hoping to hear good news, and the fear is bad news coming from the front line.

There are too many and too many uncertain factors in war, not to mention that Daming has always been at a disadvantage in facing the grassland people. This time, the whole country will fight the grassland hard. What kind of result will it be? No one has the slightest confidence in his heart.

"Your Majesty, although state affairs are important, the body of the dragon is important. I think this is the end of today's discussion. You should go to sleep well, Your Majesty."

The chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian, looked at the Emperor Hongzhi in front of him. He was very old and thin because he was busy with state affairs. He looked weak even after he couldn't sleep well or eat well these days.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't slept for a few days, so let's rest first."

Li Dongyang also followed suit.

"It's okay, it's okay~"

"I can't sleep either, I have something on my mind, the hanging stone is not falling, how can I sleep!"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and shook his head, then thought for a while and said: "I heard that the army on the West Road is short of food and grass, so we must find a way to send it quickly, but we must not let everyone go hungry to fight the Tartars."

"The minister has already made this matter clear. Due to the obstruction of the Tartars, the transport of grain and grass had to be detoured, so it was delayed for some time, but the problem is not serious. The team of transporting grain and grass has already escorted the grain and grass, and there are also salty people from Tianjin. Dried fish and bacon can definitely meet the needs of the army."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jing, Minister of the Household Department, quickly replied that food and grass were a big problem. In this matter, he did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest. He collected food and grass from all over the Ming Dynasty and sent them to the frontline continuously.

"That's good~ that's good."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in satisfaction.

"Boom~Boom~"

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps coming towards this side, and Xiao Huangmen hurriedly came with a memorial in his hand.

When Xiao Jing heard the voice, he hurried outside, quickly figured out the situation, and immediately walked inside in a hurry, and at the same time, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Great victory, great victory at Hukou Pass~"

"Good~"

Emperor Hongzhi and others had already heard the voice and stopped talking, knowing that something must have happened, so they all became nervous.

When Xiao Jing called out the word "Dajie", Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help standing up excitedly, and said happily.

"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory at Hukou Pass~"

Xiao Jing walked in, and respectfully presented the memorial to Emperor Hongzhi.

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi saw the result, he opened it very quickly. After reading it at a glance, he immediately laughed happily: "Haha, the great victory at the Hukou Pass, beheading [-] Tartars in the first battle, and successfully taking the Hukou Pass. You can close the door and beat the dog."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, my Ming will surely win!"

When the ministers heard this, all of them smiled and stood up together to congratulate Emperor Hongzhi.

Although beating the enemy by five thousand is nothing, it is definitely a good start, and the Eastern Route Army has successfully cut off the way for the Tartars to retreat northward, so it will not be so easy for the Tartars to get out.

"Da Ming must win!"

Emperor Hongzhi also clenched his fists excitedly, and shouted happily.

The crowd cheered for a while, with smiles on their faces, and before the crowd calmed down, there was another rush of footsteps outside.

As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately quieted down and became nervous again. It wasn't good news or bad news.

"Great victory, great victory, set the border and fight, kill [-] enemies!"

Xiao Jing went out in a hurry, and soon he shouted again at the top of his voice.

"Great Victory~"

Hearing the word Dajie, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed happily.

"Haha~ good, good!"

Emperor Hongzhi stood up excitedly again, grinning from ear to ear, and fought on the sidelines, killing [-] enemies. This is definitely a great victory, a real victory.

In previous battles with the prairie people, not to mention beating [-] enemies, even beating [-] enemies can be regarded as a great victory. This battle of beating [-] enemies seems to be beyond what was barely achieved at the Datong Chengguan last year. , which has never happened before.

The strong combat power of the grassland people, coupled with the fact that they are all cavalry, they come and go like the wind, it is too difficult, too difficult to kill [-] enemies, if they can't win, they can still escape.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, my Ming will surely win!"

All the ministers once again congratulated Emperor Hongzhi in unison.

"Da Ming will win!"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled all over his face. At this moment, the whole person felt sent down.

"Report ~ great victory, great victory ~"

"The West Route Army killed [-] enemies~"

Before everyone came back to their senses and carefully studied the good news from the East Route Army, someone came over in a hurry, and even before they arrived, they yelled out immediately.

"Report ~ great victory, great victory ~"

"The Southern Route Army killed [-] enemies~"

Then someone came in a hurry, shouting loudly while walking.

"Haha~ good!"

Emperor Hongzhi clenched his fists excitedly. The three armies unexpectedly received good news at the same time, and the success news came one after another, which made him ecstatic.

"Da Ming will win!"

At this moment, the emperor couldn't help shouting out, and immediately the ministers around him, as well as the eunuchs and guards in the palace, etc. also shouted together.
