Chapter 578
When Yuan Chonghuan crossed the burnt Tartar camp and caught up with Qin Liangyu, Man Gui had almost finished the massacre.

The "infantry" formation formed by these two thousand post-golden cavalry without horses is not as good as the formation set up by ordinary Ming Dynasty troops. Massacre, approaching and breaking up, running wildly on the grassland, unfortunately, two-legged people can't run faster than four-legged ones, before, and now, fighting, met a little resistance, Man Gui's this 6000 troops, and even more, hacked and killed scattered routs everywhere.

Mao Wenlong's opponent is obviously much tougher. Although Mao Wenlong's soldiers and horses are more than twice that of the opponent's, the opponent still has not put all their troops into the battlefield. However, the large number of elites of the Ming Dynasty can only be delayed for a while, and Mao Wenlong did not use all his strength to play a game of cat and mouse with this group of Tartars.

"I've seen the commander-in-chief!" Yuan Chonghuan has been showing some arrogance and indescribable confidence since the victory of Songshan Fort. Confidence, gone, more cautious, cautious, humble, confused.

"Master Yuan, you are being polite..." Qin Liangyu replied with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, Man Gui led his troops back.As soon as he came, he yelled that killing was not enough.

"Commander, this Tartar is too easy to fight. After a short charge, he fell apart, causing the last general to scatter to chase after him. It's really despicable..." Man Gui was very dissatisfied with Tartar The performance of the Tartars gave contempt.

"Hehehe..., Tartars are only familiar with horse warfare. Dismounted Tartars are not even as good as ordinary infantry. It is understandable not to fight..." Qin Liangyu had already seen clearly from the side. Seeing the Tarzi's "pawn" formation, Qin Liangyu shook his head, knowing that there would be such consequences, and now it's just confirmed.

"I've met Mr. Yuan!..." Man Gui said a few words to Qin Liangyu, and then greeted Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan didn't care, and he responded indifferently. Man Gui was arrogant in front of him, but after seeing the ruined Tartar camp, he could no longer hold up a trace of arrogance in front of Qin Liangyu and Man Gui. Is it his credit for the Songshan Fort victory, or is he too useless?Did he bring Jinning to victory, or did so many soldiers die because of him?confused……

Several parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after getting to know each other for a while, they began to discuss business again.

"Commander, the Tartars who intercepted our army this time are just the one in front of us, do you want to take action?" Yuan Chonghuan saw that Mao Wenlong led the troops to deal with that group of Tartars, and it seemed to be a lot of effort. Plan to help.

"Hehehe, there's no need, Master Yuan. Now, the Tartar has become a bereaved dog, running back with all his heart. The reason why Shuai Mao didn't use all his strength to deal with the Tartar was just because he was afraid of too much damage. If you are interested, you can directly lead the troops to chase the Tartar brigade..." Qin Liangyu said with a smile, this victory is really easy, knowing that Yuan Chonghuan invited the battle, he also meant to share a piece of the pie, otherwise, he would have run all the way from Jinning Come on, don't you get nothing?
"Chasing the Tatar brigade?" Yuan Chonghuan was a little surprised. Although he believed that the Tartars were the dogs of the family, but with his thousands of troops chasing tens of thousands of Tartars, Yuan Chonghuan had to be shocked. The strength of the Tartars It left a deep impression on Yuan Chonghuan, and he couldn't reverse it for a while.

"Yes, and no, it is indeed to chase the Tatar brigade, but it is not for Master Yuan to fight head-on with the Tartars. The Tartars are now like a lost dog. According to the report from the scouts, the Tartars are indeed very weak and exhausted. There are those who are outdated and backward, Master Yuan only needs to deal with these backward and backward Tartars, and I believe there will be a lot of gains..." Qin Liangyu said with a smile.At this time, the Tartars were really exhausted physically and mentally, because many people and horses inhaled the smoke at night, and were drenched in rain, suffering from hunger and cold. Falling behind, not a few people get sick.

"I understand, let's go now..." Yuan Chonghuan came here in a hurry, and he also meant to get some credit, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to go to Sancha River?Therefore, when he heard that Qin Liangyu gave him a piece of meat, he was not pretentious, and immediately agreed.

"Wait a moment, Master Yuan, your Excellency is going here, you can't fight head-on with the Tartars, you just need to clean up the Tartars who fall behind on the way, this command will lead the troops to follow up with Master Yuan, to ensure that Master Yuan has no worries, and then , don’t chase after the Haizhou Guards, if you encounter reinforcements from the Tatars, you can return...Do you understand the meaning of this command?” Qin Liangyu explained cautiously.

"I understand!" Yuan Chonghuan agreed, which is understandable. The current battle is a complete victory for Daming, and the victory is very complete. It is not necessary to piss at dawn and make yourself not embarrassed. It is enough to clean up those who are outdated and backward, and eat some meat, there is no need to fight to the death with the Tartars.

"General Chen, the Mandu Governor has returned, so I don't need to protect the Commander anymore. Your Excellency can help Shuai Mao..." Qin Liangyu said to a general beside him.

"The last general has an order!" A general responded and said, and then led his troops forward.

"...Master Yuan wait a moment, after General Chen consumes all the blocking troops of the Tartars, it will not be too late for you to go..." Qin Liangyu said to Yuan Chonghuan after giving the order.

"Oh, Commander-in-Chief, what's the reason?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"It's nothing, my lord, please see, even though the Tartars are facing an army several times that of Mao Shuai, they still retain their power and courage, and they refuse to fight all of them on the battlefield. The purpose is to entangle our army, and my lord is going to chase the Tartars. , since the Tartars couldn't stop it..." Qin Liangyu explained with a smile.

"My subordinate understands." Yuan Chonghuan said.

It was indeed as Qin Liangyu said, the intention of the Tartars was to fight to the death, to hold off as much as possible. After the general surnamed Chen led the men and horses to the mountain, the Tartars were willing to put all the remaining troops in. As for Qin Liangyu in the distance With Yuan Chonghuan and Mangui, these soldiers and horses can only be helpless.

Yuan Chonghuan saw that all the Tartars had entered the field, and it was impossible to escape, so he led his troops to chase the Tartars, preparing to pick up the dead fish that were lagging behind.

After Yuan Chonghuan left, Qin Liangyu and Man Gui "stand guard" for Mao Wenlong. After Mao Wenlong's men and horses were all thrown into the battlefield, the battle was almost one-sided, and the game of cat and mouse was over..."Stand guard" for a long time before going after Yuan Chonghuan again.

……

In the afternoon, the teams gradually gathered together.

The newly established camp of the Ming army was already full of laughter. Such a big victory is really rare in the past years, and it is really rare to win such a victory at an extremely low price.

Yuan Chonghuan was the latest to come back, and he even chased Haizhou Wei all the way before returning. After returning, Yuan Chonghuan did not go back directly to the Xinli camp, but ran to the ruined camp of the Tartars.

In this ruins, the corpses have almost been cleaned up, and the more useful ones such as flags, armor, weapons, etc. have also been cleaned up, and it seems that they are not so dilapidated anymore.

Looking at the dilapidated ruins of the Tartar camp, Yuan Chonghuan was always confused.

Is he a hero or a sinner?Was it worthwhile or not worth the thousands of Jinning officers and soldiers who were killed and wounded earlier?Is he the minister capable of saving the country?Or a criminal who wronged the country?

After standing for a long time, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't stop asking himself in his heart, he was anxious, he was ashamed, he had an urge to cry.

"Master Yuan, Master Yuan..." Staff officer surnamed Huang saw Yuan Chonghuan entering the ruins of the Tazi's camp from a distance, seeing Yuan Chonghuan in a daze, so he planned to come over to talk and make friends.

"Oh, it's Staff Officer Huang! I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I neglected Staff Officer Huang because I was engrossed for a while." Yuan Chonghuan woke up from the depths of his heart and said.People are no longer as arrogant as they used to be. Now too many facts have proved that he is not the capable minister who can govern the world, and he is not the hero who can turn the tide. The hot-blooded "barbarian", except for some "brute force", he has nothing better than others. He still needs to learn too many things, and he still needs to change too many things.

"Master Yuan, you are being polite. Since Master Yuan has already returned, why didn't you go back to the camp? Now that people from all walks of life have returned to the camp, there are frequent reports of success, and we will wait for Master Yuan..." Staff Officer Huang said with a smile.

"Officer Huang is right. I really should go back to the camp. I just feel a little emotional when I see the camp in ruins. I shouldn't keep my colleagues waiting. Staff Huang will go first, and I will be there later... ..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

Officer Huang originally wanted to have a chat with Yuan Chonghuan, but he didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan's tone of voice, which meant to push people away, so Officer Huang couldn't help but turn around and leave. After walking a few steps, Staff Officer Huang even looked back , What I wanted to say, I still choked back.

After Staff Officer Huang left, Yuan Chonghuan sent everyone away from him. After they left, Yuan Chonghuan's tears couldn't stop falling. He knelt on the ruins and wept sadly.

……

The newly established battalion of the Ming army is handsome.

Qin Liangyu listened carefully to the report of the results of the battle.

"Back to the commander-in-chief, the Tartars' camp cleared out more than [-] corpses of the Tartars. In addition, there were countless banners, armors, and battles. Others such as camps were burned, and there was no food or grass." Even the staff members, the heavy fruit should indeed be reported first by the staff members.

"...I only lost 28 hot air balloons, and [-] people..." Staff surnamed Huang said happily.

The crowd shouted and celebrated enthusiastically.

"Return to the commander-in-chief, I have killed more than [-] Tartars, beheaded the leader of the Tartars, Baylor, and injured [-]..." Mao Wenlong also reported his achievements. The Tartars he encountered were the most difficult. The Tartar, although he has tried everything possible to reduce the loss, but this loss is inevitable, and he is also a little regretful.

The crowd shouted again.

"Back to the commander in chief, the last general beheaded more than two thousand Tartars, two small leaders of the Tartars, and less than a hundred self-inflicted wounds..." Man Gui also said happily, his work was considered the most comfortable, and he beat two thousand Tartar infantry, such a good thing, is rare to come across.

Originally, Yuan Chonghuan should have said it a long time ago, but Yuan Chonghuan was a little dazed and didn't say it. He only said it now that everyone else had finished talking.

"The lower officials pursued the Tartars as far as Haizhouwei. They beheaded more than [-] Tartars and injured more than a hundred of them..." Yuan Chonghuan did not tell the results of his battle until the end.

As soon as the results came out, the crowd cheered again,
……

Sancha River.

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard, his elation was beyond words.It is impossible to be unhappy with this battle report sent by Qin Liangyu.

In today's battle, a total of [-] Tartars were killed, and only a thousand of them were lost. This is really a heavy victory, and it can be said to be a rare victory for Ming Dynasty over the years.

Excited, Sun Chengzong began to write good news.

……

Beijing.

Forbidden City.

Yang Reform's main energy these days has been "not doing business properly", doing scientific research, building roads, building houses, doing things that ministers don't like, and more and more people are opposing and admonishing the emperor.

"Big Companion, I haven't paid much attention to the court's movements recently, but what's the matter? These days, more and more memorabilia have been sent in..." Yang Reform was revising the memorabilia again. There are more and more memorials of a certain type, and Yang Reform knows that there are more and more people who give him "remonstrations", and the cabinet has a tendency to be unstoppable, so how should this kind of request be made? There will be more and more scriptures about how to do and how to do.

In fact, Yang Reform also knows where the problem lies. The things mentioned in these memorials are all superficial phenomena, and the real content is that the reforms he gradually implemented, or the things he changed, have already harmed the interests of many people. Yes, the essence is the conflict of interests.These people, now, are afraid that something is brewing, or that they are preparing to counterattack.However, because of their already high prestige and prestige, these people did not dare to make trouble all at once. Before they had enough strength and courage, they would not dare to take action. The current trend is what is often said to be "about to move" .

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is some news. Speaking of it, it is the dispute between 'paying taxes' and 'not paying taxes'. Your Majesty, there are some people who are jealous of His Majesty making money. After all, they don't want His Majesty to bring People earn money, in their view, this money should be earned by them, and His Majesty should not earn money, this is simply unreasonable..." Wang Chengen said contemptuously.Wang Chengen was waiting on him, and when he heard the emperor's question, he told the truth. The wind has been blowing more and more recently. On the surface, many ministers advised the emperor to "reform evil and return to righteousness". Many people can't keep up with their trips, they can't eat meat, and they can't drink soup. Therefore, they gathered together and asked the emperor not to earn money. Silver can only be earned by them. As for how much tax they pay, that is up to them. , the emperor can't take you to make money if you don't pay taxes like this, let alone stipulate that you won't take you to make money if you don't pay a lot of taxes. , What kind of magic horse is actually irrelevant.

"Oh, is that so? Interesting, this matter, sooner or later we have to fight for the top, 'paying taxes' and 'not paying taxes' are related to the life and death of my Daming, I absolutely cannot afford to lose! "Yang Reform smiled, and he had heard the rumor for a long time. The opposition between paying taxes and not paying taxes was also established by Yang Reform himself. The two parties will definitely compete, and one party will have to sweep the other party into the dustbin of history. It is understandable that such winds are blowing now.

"Your Majesty said..." Wang Chengen took the emperor's words and devoted himself to serving him there.

"...By the way, besides that, are there other things worth mentioning?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if there is anything else worth mentioning, in the capital, there is a dispute over Confucian characters. That Huang Zongxi is eloquent and quick-witted. He often fights against the Confucians, making many people speechless. In other words, now that Huang Zongxi is becoming more and more famous in the capital, the scholars are also clearly divided into two factions, one faction supports Huang Zongxi, and the other faction opposes Huang Zongxi... Apart from this, there is also There is something lively about road construction..." Wang Chengen reported again.

"Well, I got it..." Yang Reform listened and nodded. Speaking of it, the dispute over Confucian characters is also a dispute over interests. The new interpretation of Confucian characters is a signal for reform and a program formulated. Therefore, It will definitely affect the interests of quite a few people.

Reform has never been possible without the benefit of anyone.If there is no large-scale reform of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely go to the abyss. Even if he is a time traveler, he will only let the Ming Dynasty live a few more years.Supporting the entire country with one person's strength, this kind of thing, whoever does it, will definitely die from exhaustion in the end.

To reform, the interests of some people must be mobilized, and it is inevitable to fight against the various intertwined interests that are now deeply entrenched. Now that it is inevitable, we can only stand up and fight.

"...Apart from this, is there anything else?" Yang Reform asked again. All of this is under Yang Reform's control. Yang Reform is not afraid that they can pull out any tricks. The army is even more prestigious. It is impossible to want to make concessions and stop promoting reforms casually. Some people can only be swept into the garbage dump besides being swept into the garbage dump.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if you want to talk about big things, it's still with Master Guan's grandson. There is no definite news now. Many people are talking about whether this battle can be won..." Wang Chengen looked at the emperor, and then Said.

"Yeah! Master Sun doesn't know what to do. The best thing is to end the war as soon as possible. I can let the Beiyang Navy go out. Otherwise, those people will always be like today, whether it hurts or itches. Jumping around beside me is really meaningless, it's too useless..." Yang Reform complained, complaining that although these people are wrestling with themselves for their own interests, gathering people and making noise, but , I have to say that their level and strength are still too low. Although it seems that the undercurrent is surging, as if the storm is about to come, in the eyes of Yang Reform, they are not enough, and they are not regarded as dishes at all. , with their current strength and prestige, they can't even regret half a hair of their hair. There is nothing they can do except to be a bitch like a resentful woman. I have to add some food and energy to them, otherwise, this "game" , It's boring to play.
