Chapter 465 Post-War Summary
Although the Qing army retreated, Gao Yihuan did not dare to let go, and the troops of each team were still ready to guard against Duoduo's comeback.

Gao Yihuan couldn't figure out why the Qing army retreated, so he could only prepare and deploy according to his own rhythm.

Early this morning, Gao Yihuan ordered Kong Youde to be abolished, and then sent someone to send Kong Youde to Nanjing to present prisoners to the Ming Dynasty and reward him for victory.

After a month of wrangling in Nanjing, he had finished fighting his side, but he still hadn't made a decision, leaving Gao Yihuan speechless for a while, admiring the efficiency of the Nanjing court.

He sent Kong Youde to help Nanjing make a decision as soon as possible, so that the next time it fights against the Manchu Qing, it will not fight alone again.

In the afternoon, scouts came to report that after the Duoduo army withdrew to Yancheng, they did not stay in Yancheng, but left Geng Zhongming in Yancheng, and let Shang Kexi sit in Luoyang, and then led the elite Manchurian soldiers back north.

This made Gao Yihuan very puzzled, and ordered people to continue to inquire. It was not until six or seven days later that Gao Yicheng came to report and found out the exact news. The reason why Duoduo withdrew was because the Mongols broke through the Great Wall and entered Shanxi to plunder. Had to go north to support.

It is said that there were nearly 10 Mongols who went south. The Qing army in Shanxi was not an opponent at all. Jiang Xiang hid in Datong and did not dare to fight.

After the West Route Army of the Qing army entered Guanzhong, the Manchu and Qing troops in Shanxi were very empty. Only the provincial capital Taiyuan was stationed with more than a thousand Eight Banners, and in other areas of the Shanxi Province, only a few green battalion soldiers who surrendered remained.

It’s okay for these soldiers and horses to bully the people, but when they meet Mongols, they immediately catch them blind. There are looting Mongolian cavalry everywhere in northern Shanxi.

The Qing court could only urgently order Duoduo and Azig to return to Shanxi to fight the Mongols out, and even completely defeated Mobei Mongolia to solve the northern border troubles. At the same time, they recovered some Mongols to supplement the loss of the Qing army.

Gao Yihuan always thought that the Mongols wore the same pair of pants as the Manchus. Gao Yihuan was a little shocked by the news. He never thought that the Qing army would fight with the Mongols.

This is because he was ignorant and knowledgeable about history before, but he still couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the news.

Mongolia invaded the border, and the main force of the Qing army returned to the north, which meant that his crisis was temporarily lifted.

Gao Yihuan was a little worried at first, the Qing army deliberately lured him to go north to pursue him, but now he didn't care, and let Wu Shizhao lead the troops to go north, recapture Xiping County, and drive the Qing army out of Runing.

In the blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival is approaching, and Runing City has come out from the shadow of war.

Because of the relationship between the Qing army's presence in Runing, the people were not in the mood to celebrate the New Year. Now that the Qing army has retreated, they are all ready to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

Every family in the city made Lantern Festival, lit lanterns, set off fireworks, and the family reunited.

After a great war, being able to reunite with a family is even more precious and hard-won.

The government and squires also paid for it, and invited folk artists to play dragon lanterns, dance lions, walk on stilts, row dry boats, and play Taiping drums, making Runing City after the war extraordinarily lively.

At the Marshal's mansion, just after dawn, many good horses were tied up in front of the mansion.

More than a dozen generals of Wei Wujun came to Gao Yihuan's mansion together.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone walked into the commander's mansion together, sat down in a lobby, and asked each other why the commander hurriedly recruited them.

Everyone in the hall was discussing, at this moment, a guard suddenly shouted loudly: "The commander is here!"

Gao Yihuan walked into the hall with strides, sat down bravely, and waved for everyone who had stood up to salute to also sit down.

"I called all the brothers here today to make a summary of the previous battle!" Gao Yihuan cut to the chase, "This time we fought with the Tartars again, what have you gained, tell me all about it !"

After each battle, Gao Yihuan will summarize the battle, see what problems have been exposed by his men and horses in the war, and then make improvements to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

All the generals were taken aback for a moment, thinking that during the Lantern Festival, the general would treat him to glutinous rice balls.

But fortunately, this matter has been summed up before, so the commander-in-chief will not have nothing to say when he asks.

"Marshal, Duduo, the grandson of the turtle, has been crushed in our hands. Even Kong Youde's level has been captured by our Wei Wujun. If you want me to say it, I have to understand that the commander-in-chief is wise and powerful, and our Wei Wujun is in the world. Unparalleled." Zhao Daxian was the first to stand up, said a few words with a smile, cupped his hands around, and waited for the applause of his colleagues.

Gao Yihuan didn't expect him to be so good, he almost killed him with a cup of tea, "Zhao Daxian, sit down for me!"

Seeing that Gao Yihuan was angry, Zhao Daxian didn't expect to be flattered, so he quickly sat down.

"Which one of you, tell me!" Gao Yihuan glanced at the crowd.

The generals knew that the commander-in-chief wanted to listen to dry goods, but the level of many generals in the Wei Wu army was actually relatively limited.They can always see the shadows of rogues, and they still play the old way, and they haven't thought about improving it.

In fact, the lecture hall has trained many talents, but they are all low-level officers, and it is still difficult to get ahead. The middle and upper ranks of Wei Wujun are still old-fashioned generals, and it is difficult to change their habits and ideas.

Everyone in the hall discussed for a while, and finally Jin Shenghuan coughed lightly, and said: "Commander, this time we fought against the Qing army. I found that the Tartars are not only good at riding and fighting, but also the opponent's infantry is also good. I command the troops in Xiangcheng When defending, I feel that it is quite difficult to fight offensive and defensive battles with the Tartar infantry!"

After the Qing army retreated from Xiangcheng, Jin Shenghuan came to Runing.

Gao Yihuan straightened his body, "This is the summary after the war. It is not shameful for us to close the door and expose our shortcomings. This is all to improve our combat power. You are embarrassed to mention it now, and blood will be shed in the future! "

Gao Yihuan looked at Jin Shenghuan and said approvingly, "Hu Chen, keep talking!"

Jin Shenghuan went on to say: "Commander, in the last battle in Ruzhou, we relied on the Thunderbolt to make the Tartars suffer. In this war, the Tartars also have this thing, which offsets our advantage. One, is the experience gained from the bloodshed of the soldiers."

As he spoke, he glanced at his colleagues in the hall, "Tartars' heavy steps are all wearing double armor, and their swords are hard to hurt. The miao knives in our soldiers' hands are hard to break through armor, and even spears are hard to stab them to death. The humble staff thinks that the killer team must be equipped with a certain amount of blunt weapons, or some large-caliber guns."

Everyone in the hall discussed and nodded from time to time, obviously they all encountered such problems.

Zhao Daxian just lost face, suddenly slapped his thigh, and yelled, "I also remembered, when I stopped the Tartars in the valley, Duoduo, the grandson of the turtle, also sent a team of heavy steps to beat me. The dog's day is approaching." Thirty steps, even the firearms can't kill them, and the firearms team panicked!"

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, told him not to say anything, and asked Jin Shenghuan, "Tiger Chen, besides equipped with blunt weapons and carrying guns, what other suggestions do you have?"

Jin Shenghuan pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Commander, to deal with them, we must either form a heavy step, or study how to break their armor. In fact, the new artillery made by the commander is not bad. The Tartar heavy step has strong defense and can be moved It's relatively slow, and the artillery can bombard them fiercely before they get close. It's a pity that there are too few artillery."

Wei Wujun also had heavy infantry, but they hadn't done any training. The heavy infantry were required to form a wall and swing their knives in unison, so that those who blocked them were invincible.The heavy steps of Wei Wu's army are indeed just temporary soldiers in double armor.

After listening to Jin Shenghuan's words, Gao Yihuan actually had his own ideas besides his suggestions.

Looking at the trend of history, armor will eventually withdraw from the stage of history, so he is more inclined to strengthen the power of guns.

It's just that this involves a cost issue. The technology of bronze cannons is relatively mature, but why didn't more guns be built? In the final analysis, there is still a problem of no copper~
Thinking of this, Gao Yihuan became a little unhappy, mother, who helped Nanjing to drive away the Tartars, why didn't I send money to Lao Tzu!
