Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

At that moment Du Yinxi shook his head and said: "There are not so many Jiannu who were killed or injured by tigers squatting and cannons in the infantry battalion. What's more, if there is no cavalry battalion, the infantry battalion will not have this opportunity, so the credit should go to the cavalry battalion."

"Master Du is too far-fetched, these two thousand Jian slaves were killed by Buying."

"Hu Junmen, I appreciate your kindness, but our Buying really can't accept this kind of military exploits."

"Du Qing, and Hu Qing, you two, don't give in to each other." Chongzhen said a little funny, "Two thousand real slaves, this is a reward worth 10 silver dollars!"

Hearing this, Hu Guozhu and the dozens of soldiers behind him were all excited. This time it was beautiful. Not only did they win a big battle this time, but they also got an extremely rich reward!

More than 9000 real slaves, that is a reward of 45 silver dollars!

The 45 yuan was divided equally between more than 8000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion, and each person could get almost 60 silver dollars!

Du Yinxi sighed and said: "My lord, although I really want to win this large reward for the soldiers of the infantry, it is really not a reward for the infantry. If I take it, it will be a great injustice to the soldiers of the cavalry battalion."

"Then this reward will come from me, not from the cavalry battalion."

Chongzhen turned his head to Gao Qiqian and said: "Gao Banban, pass on the decree immediately."

"Every soldier of the cavalry battalion who participated in the battle of Guting Town will be rewarded with 100 silver dollars."

"The infantry battalion soldiers who participated in this battle can also get a reward of 20 silver dollars, and everyone has a share."

Having won an unprecedented victory and killed more than 9000 real slaves, Chongzhen was also very happy.

Therefore, Chongzhen was not stingy with the rewards for the soldiers of the cavalry battalion and the soldiers of the infantry battalion who came to support. As long as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can win the battle, they are happy to go bankrupt.

Besides, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not short of money now.

Seigniorage alone is an astronomical figure.

Hu Guozhu and Du Yinxi no longer give in to each other after hearing this.

They may not care about the reward of tens of silver dollars and one hundred silver dollars, but the cavalry and infantry soldiers under their command will definitely care about this reward, which is a huge sum of money for them.

Gao Qiqian took the little eunuch and quickly conveyed Chongzhen's imperial edict.

"Long live! Long live!" There were cheers one after another immediately around.

Chongzhen smiled again and said, "Camp up here tonight and eat horse meat, ha ha!"

More than 5000 war horses were fought, enough for the town soldiers in Xuzhou Town and Taiwan for a year.

The town soldiers of the infantry battalion and the cavalry of the cavalry battalion quickly set up tents, dug trenches, placed antlers, and then lit piles of bonfires in the camp.

By this time it was completely dark.

Piles of bonfires are like a sky full of stars.

Then, the cook set up an iron pot on the fire.

At this time, Chongzhen's national policy of using military industry to drive the development of handicrafts in the south of the Yangtze River began to show its power. Not only the newly recruited 27 new troops, but also the local soldiers and town soldiers from Xuzhou, Guide, Huguang, and Yunnan. The distribution of materials in other areas has also been greatly improved, such as logistical support.

It was unimaginable for the Ming army to match iron pots in the past.

Most of the Ming army only had earthen jars or even earthenware jars.

Sometimes it was broken during the march and had to be snatched.

But now, each team of the Ming army is equipped with an iron pot. …

There are also tableware. In the past, the Ming army used them for whatever purpose. If they couldn’t find tableware, they used bowls directly. Chongzhen also used bowls to eat. If they didn’t have chopsticks, they used their hands directly.

But now, each Ming army comes standard with a large wooden bowl.

That is to say, the practical steam engine has not yet been produced, or Chongzhen even planned to distribute iron military kettles and iron military lunch boxes to each of the soldiers of the Ming army.

Anyway, it can be punched out with a click of a forging die.

What's more, the meals of the Ming army have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

How to promote the development of handicraft industry in the south of the Yangtze River through the military industry?

To put it bluntly, it is to spend a lot of money to improve the equipment and logistics of the Ming army, and then outsource the orders for equipment and logistics to handicraft workshops in Jiangnan, and marching rations are one of the major items.

For example, rice is processed into a more delicious rice cake.

For example, wheat is also processed into more edible naan or pot helmet.

For example, soybeans are also processed into spicy dried tofu that is easier to store and more delicious.

A year ago, the meal bags of the soldiers of the Ming army would always only contain food, wrinkled rice, vinegar steamed cakes, vinegar cloth, coarse salt, fermented soybeans, and ebony plums, which were not only difficult to swallow, but also lacked nutrition.

But now, there are rice fat, rice cakes, naan, pot helmets, spicy dried tofu, fermented bean curd, meat floss, dried meat and frozen plowed persimmons in the meal bags of the soldiers of the Ming army, which are not only delicious but also nutritious.

Of course, the staple food tonight is no longer rice cakes or naan, but horse meat.

In order to add some ingredients to the horse meat, Du Yinxi even led his troops to dig a lot of wild onions from around.

After cooking for less than an hour, the big iron pot began to gurgle and steam, and the cooks threw the cleaned wild onions into the big iron pot by the handful.

Soon, the aroma of wild onions and horse meat permeated the air.

"It's a pity, I didn't bring wine." Chongzhen still felt a little regretful.

It seems that it is necessary to increase efforts to support the brewing industry in the south of the Yangtze River.

Whether it is distilled wine or fermented wine, it is necessary to expand production capacity on a large scale.

Distilled alcohol can be used for medical treatment, greatly reducing the number of disabled people in the Ming army.

Fermented wine should become the standard equipment of the Ming army. It can not only quench thirst but also improve morale.

……

The Ming army was beaming with joy, while the Jiannu side was disheartened and disappointed.

"Master, let's go back. It's already the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, and the Ming dog will not come again." He Luohui sighed, "It will be futile for us to spend any more time here. If there is no accident, those few people just now Yi Ding Yebushou must have discovered our ambush and reported it to the Ming cavalry."

"Okay, withdraw troops and return to Qufu."

Although Duduo was full of unwillingness, he could only face the reality.

While walking, Duoduo asked He Luohui again: "Have the casualties of each banner been estimated?"

"Returning to the master, the approximate figure has been estimated." He Luohui replied with a sad expression, "The Eight Banners Mongolia lost more than 1 horses, and more than 8000 bannermen died."

"More than 4000 of them were killed while fleeing."

"The two yellow flags lost more than 3000 war horses, and more than 1000 bannermen were killed in battle."…

"The more than 1000 bannermen of the two yellow flags were basically killed by the tiger squatting guns of the Ming army infantry battalion, and some were killed when they were broken."

Hearing this, Dodo let out a long sigh.

Logically speaking, he should be happy.

After all, the two yellow flags and the two white flags are rivals.

This time the two yellow flags lost three and a half cattle records, so he should be happy.

But for some reason, Duduo was not happy at all.

"He Luohui, what do you think is going on?" Duoduo asked with a gloomy face, "Why can't we break through that weird defensive formation set up by the cavalry of the Ming army?"

"You can't even understand the master, how can the slave know?"

He Luohui could only smile wryly at this, he really couldn't understand how he lost this battle?
The Eight Banners Manchuria and the Eight Banners Mongolia have invested a total of [-] cavalry this time, while the Ming cavalry has at most [-] cavalry. The difference in strength between the two sides is six times, and the Ming cavalry has no car battalion. Can this be lost?

Anyway, He Luohui has been confused until now, and really doesn't understand.

The anxious look on Duoduo's face became more intense, what should I do now?
An ambush was carefully planned with [-] cavalry, and it turned out like this in the end.

Is it necessary to continue hunting in Xuzhou?If it continued, it would not be hunting, it could only be hunted, it could only be the prey of Ming army cavalry, there was no doubt about this.

But if he really withdraws his troops here, Duoduo will really become the laughing stock of the Eight Banners.

Ever since Old Khan raised his army, has the Jurchen clan ever suffered such a defeat?
Thinking of this, Duoduo couldn't help but burst into tears again, he was really ashamed to see others.

He Luohui hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Master, do you need to report the defeat of Guting Town to the Regent?"

"Let's report it." Duduo sighed, and said sadly, "Report everything in Guting Town to the regent truthfully. You can't hide such a big defeat. Let's report it."

"Hey." He Luohui also looked sad.

……

Two days later, Dorgon, who was far away in Dagukou, got a rare piece of good news.

"Master, good news, great news." Luo Yangxing walked into Dorgon's Chinese military tent excitedly, "Wei River has completely thawed."

"is it?"

"Wei River finally thawed?"

"It's all right now, the navy can go to Dagukou."

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, who were discussing with Dorgon in the big tent, were overjoyed.

Only Hou Fangyu was a little worried after hearing this: "Master, I'm afraid this is not good news, because the thawing of the Wei River means that the North Sea has thawed, and once the North Sea thaws, then the navy of the Ming Dynasty will be able to reach Dagukou directly, please forgive me The servant said bluntly, I am afraid that the navy of the Qing Dynasty cannot beat the navy of the Nanming Dynasty."

Hong Chengchou's face changed and he said: "This matter must not be ignored."

"It doesn't matter." Fan Wencheng was quite disapproving of this, "Let's not say whether the Nanming Navy is stronger than my Daqing Water Division, but the Nanming Navy has come from a long distance and lacks supplies. I can’t reach Dagukou, but my Daqingshui master can reach Dagukou overnight.”

"What Xiandou said is very true." Ning Wan and I echoed, "Before the Nanming navy arrived at Dagukou, my Qing soldiers had already taken back Dagukou with the assistance of the navy. With a few red cannons set up at Gukou, the Nanming Navy can be blocked at the mouth of the Weihe River, and the throat of Gyeonggi can be as safe as a rock."

Upon hearing this, Dorgon said, "Let's call the navy first."

While talking, Cao Eryu came in from outside the tent.

"Master, send it to Qufu urgently."
