I am one year older than Chongzhen

However, there are conditions. Civil officials do not impose restrictions. If a general wants to enter the city, he cannot lead troops and horses. At most, four guards are allowed to follow him.

Wealth and silk moved people's hearts, not because they were worried about being robbed or confiscated, but because they prevented the generals' servants from being beheaded by the governor of the Xinghe Army when they saw the money.

Therefore, the generals are not required to enter the city. If they show up to the city with a look of disdain, they must obey the management.

I thought that the conditions were harsh and those general officers who cheered before going out would resist.

Who knew I was wrong.

All the officers and generals above Qian Zongzong of the Ming Army came, and they all showed smiling faces when they were interrogated by Xinghe Army town governors and cultural teachers.

In order not to embarrass the eunuch and governor Liu Yulie, Huang Yi still did not show his face.

He kept his promise and let Wang Kun and Liu Yulie make the decision to share the credit with all the Ming army generals, and everyone who saw it had a share.

Liu Yulie and Wang Kun were even more happy.

They felt that it was too degrading to be submissive in front of Huang Yi, a military general, and they sincerely hoped that Huang Yi would not appear with them in front of civilian military generals.

The content of the discussion this time was simple. They agreed on the distribution of credits among various ministries and announced the number of captures and captures. As for the seizures?

hey-hey! Even if there is no real gold, silver, emerald and agate, it is definitely a huge seizure, and it is the largest seizure by the Ming army in the past ten years.

At the very least, the two hundred or so large and small ships frozen in Dengzhou Water City are enough to make people salivate.

This is all silver! If all are sold, it will be no less than two million taels of snowflake silver.

Including the artillery equipped on the warships, excluding bowl-mouth blunderbuss and carrying guns, a total of more than 800 large and small artillery pieces were seized in this battle, including 36 Hongyi cannons.

How much silver is this?

When Wang Kun read out the battle report in a high-pitched voice, many generals really drooled involuntarily.

More than 6,700 were captured, more than 28,000 were captured, weapons and armor were captured, and a number of war horses and draft horses were captured.

The generals and civil servants understood that the data clearly stated in the battle report were intended to be reported to the court.

No matter what, I guess Xinghe Army should be happy to accept it.

Finally, it was Liu Yulie who announced what everyone was most concerned about.

Li Jiucheng, the fake "Marshal of the Capital" who was still fighting in a corner, was beaten to death by random gunfire, and his son Li Yingyuan was captured alive because of a leg injury.

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Su Yougong, etc., who had no choice but to surrender, Mao Chenglu, Chen Shiyou, Wang Bingzhong, Mao Yongshou, etc. died in the melee.

Among those who rebelled in front of the battle and led dozens or hundreds of rebels to surrender were Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu.

Huang Yi kept his promise and would not kill any rebels who surrendered. He screened out all the generals and generals above the general level and handed them over to Wang Kun to escort them to the capital.

Including Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu who rebelled before the battle.

However, the two of them were treated differently. The others were handcuffed and shackled and rode in a prison cart with wooden cages, while they were on horseback.

In order to appease people's hearts, Wang Kun met with them and personally expressed his stance to ask for grace for them when he met the emperor.

It's unclear whether the emperor will give them official positions, but it's certain that their lives are safe.

They are just two bereaved dogs, their mentality has already collapsed!

The two of them had been hanging out in Dongjiang Town for nearly ten years, and both had fought bloody battles with Jian Nu. They both became officers based on their solid military merits.

There is no shortage of courage to dare to fight!

However, under the firepower of the Xinghe Army, individual bravery cannot be saved.

They saw with their own eyes that many powerful old brothers were shot in the head, and they were still frightened when they thought about it.

When Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu saw Huang Yi, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

After hearing the promise from the chief eunuch of the Supervisory Army that they would be able to save their lives, the two of them kowtowed as if they were in trouble. They both also swore to God that they would say whatever General Huang and Wang Gonggong needed them to say, and they would never say anything random.

Huang Yi was not worried at all that these two people would say anything detrimental to him.

Everything depends on strength, what happened to concealment and seizure? Hit me if you can! If you don’t have the ability, just acquiesce!

Moreover, for Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu, telling the truth would offend the eunuchs, governors, governors, soldiers, nine generals, and more than a dozen deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas.

Isn't this seeking death?

Besides Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who else in history escaped from Dengzhou and joined the slave establishment? Huang Yi didn't know.

that's not important!

Anyway, no well-known rebel generals could escape from the Xinghe Army.

History has now been rewritten. If Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were cut to pieces in the capital, how would history evolve?

Huang Yi is looking forward to it!

Anyway, it can be predicted at this time that the strength of Chongzhen in the six years since his founding was a bit worse than in history.

At the very least, Huang Taiji lost hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of "God's Blessing Army" who could use firearms. They also lost an additional two thousand and hundreds of Eight Banner Jurchen soldiers on the Daling River battlefield.

Three years ago, Huang Yi was most worried about the establishment of a slave army during his expedition to Lin Dan Khan.

When he was about to enter the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Yi looked forward to Jiannu being able to work on an expedition.

With the Xinghe Army having the home field advantage, Jian Nu could still fight with all his troops.

Moreover, Jiannu had already established the Hou Jin regime. They had to leave a large number of troops to confront Liao Town of the Ming Dynasty, and they also had to leave some troops to prevent a surprise attack from Dongjiang Town.

After all, it is different from history. Huang Long, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, did not die in the battle, and Shang Kexi, who had a grudge against Jiannu for killing his father and brother, did not surrender.

Dongjiang Town also has the ability to conduct small-scale sneak attacks near Jiannu's hometown.

So, the slave-building expedition to Chahar sent out 10,000 or 20,000 horses to reach the sky.

Based on the current strength of the base area, a nationwide mobilization can be launched to organize no less than 15,000 regular soldiers, 15,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 30,000 militiamen to fight.

These 60,000 soldiers and civilians can be drawn out to fight, but due to logistical support problems, the preset main battlefield cannot be far away from the base area.

If a war to defend the base area begins, there will be no less than 300,000 young and middle-aged male and female militiamen who can take up arms to defend cities, farms, forts, and large factories and mines.

If a fierce battle reaches a critical moment of life and death, men and women over the age of ten and under fifty will join the battle, and the number can be close to one million.

After all, the Han population in the base area has exceeded 1.5 million. Adding in Mongolian, Uighur, Western Qiang and other foreign ethnic groups, the total population reaches 2 million.

With such strength, if he really fights Jian Nu, it's not certain who will beat whom and who will get beaten!

News of the annihilation of the Denglai rebels spread like wildfire, and merchants who were good at seizing opportunities came in droves like sharks smelling blood.

Merchants all know how prosperous Dengzhou City was in the past, and they all know how luxurious the dignitaries in Dengzhou City who are engaged in maritime trade are.

The army captured Dengzhou and captured so much. Those stupid soldiers couldn't figure out the price of rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, and emerald agate.

Of course, merchants who have the means to bring cash, gold, and banknotes to Dengzhou to pick up leaks.

There are also many powerful and powerful businessmen with strong financial resources who have direct contact with the eunuch Wang Kun and the governor Liu Yulie.

Their goals were, of course, gold mines, fertile land, and merchant ships capable of going to sea for trade.
