Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 249 History
"We can't let Nayan Khan escape!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly.

Seeing that Nayan Khan was about to break through the encirclement and run out.

"Bow Rider!"

Zhang Yong shouted loudly from the side.

A column of riders shot arrows and ran towards the direction where Yan Khan was escaping.

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

The sound of celebrating victory was instantly deafening.

……

Qin Shao didn't wake up until noon the next day, and he still had a backache when he woke up.

After the battle, he followed Zhu Houzhao and the others back.

Yingzhou state government arranged for them to rest. He simply ate something and fell into a deep sleep.

As for the cleanup of the battlefield after the war, he did not participate.

As soon as he woke up and had some food, the third son came over.

"Master! Your Majesty, please go over there."

Wang Yin got hurt on his back yesterday. Although it was not serious, he was bleeding a lot. Qin Shao asked him to rest, and the third son went to take care of him.

Qin Shao went to Zhu Houzhao's residence alone.

Zhu Houzhao was in the lobby of the state capital, and there were already too many people in it.

There are Zhang Yong, Jiang Bin and others beside him, as well as Wang Xun and other generals who participated in the war.

Seeing Qin Shao come in, everyone except Zhu Houzhao stood up.

"Ziming, you are here! We talked about the situation of the battle report. There are no historians here, they are all military officials. Everyone is not good at describing those things. I remembered that you are a small four yuan. You should be good at this aspect. This battle report and records I will leave it to you to handle the situation, what do you think?"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

His eyes were blood red, but his whole expression was still in excitement.

Qin Shao didn't expect this to happen.

But he suddenly remembered the reason why the Yingzhou victory in his previous life was controversial. After all, there was no official historian to record it at that time, and many people did not believe in the victory!
Moreover, when Zhu Houzhao said that he had killed a person, he was ridiculed by those civil officials for bragging.

In short, the great victory in Yingzhou has become a strange battle, an unsolved case.

Now that he has come to this event in person, it is natural to make this event known to everyone, so that those people will not make up and discredit this war.

To be honest, Qin Shao was willing to do this not only for Zhu Houzhao.

More for the fighters who fought hard to participate in this battle, as well as those who died on the battlefield, and the families of Yingzhou military households who made efforts for this.

Only when the efforts of all people in this war are known, those who made efforts can be rewarded, and those military families who contributed their most important financial cattle and sheep should also be compensated.

Qin Shao saw with his own eyes those people carefully and reluctantly pulling out his cattle and sheep. Qin Shao will never forget the look in their eyes.

Not to mention in this era, even in the countryside where Qin Shao lived, cattle and sheep are relatively valuable financial resources for many families. They not only sent people to participate in the battle, but also contributed their most important property. !
"Your Majesty, I am obliged! In this battle, all the officers and soldiers contributed their strength, many of them even sacrificed their lives, and those soldiers who contributed cattle and mules suffered heavy losses. These need to be appeased. We must write down these , and reported it to the Ministry of War. In addition, the emperor also beheaded a person, and this credit must be recorded, which has been witnessed by many people."

Qin Shao said directly.

"Yes! Yes! Self-evident, it's better for you to remind me. I only remember to record the results of the battle. I forgot what you said. Those must be recorded. Of course, those who make meritorious deeds and those who pay must be rewarded. You record in detail. I After making instructions, after these days, I realized that the border is not easy, and the imperial court should indeed allocate more taels of silver for the border! This time, I must apply for at least 100 million taels of silver!"

Zhu Houzhao agreed.

When those frontier generals heard what Zhu Houzhao said, their eyes lit up, they were very excited, and they also gave Qin Shao a look of gratitude.

They are military generals, they are local officials here, they are basically military officers, they can fight and scold wars, but they write those battle reports and express their needs, but they always fail to make sense.

How many times have they expressed difficulties and wanted financial support, but they have been rejected by those people with insufficient reasons and no evidence to support them.

In the following days, Qin Shao began to record the situation of the battle in detail.

The cleaning of the battlefield alone lasted five days.

After statistics, 2213 enemy corpses were found.

The Ming army killed 108 people, injured 887 people, and 2 people were missing.

As for the number of Tatar casualties and missing persons, the other party will not tell them, and naturally there is no specific number, but according to the last situation Qin Shao saw, there are at least nearly [-] people injured and separated.

Yan Khan suffered a serious loss this time.

The man who came back from the bow and arrow company said that someone seemed to have shot Yan Kehan, and that guy seemed to be injured.

Qin Shao went to interview those shooters, asked the people present to express and record, and wrote down the names of the participants, the military household organization they belonged to and various information, so that the information could be well documented.

Those people were illiterate, but they could draw and press their fingerprints, and those people pressed their fingerprints one by one.

As for the list of dead soldiers of the Ming army, it is more detailed. In addition to the name, age, place of origin, and family situation, it is recorded. People who knew each other and were in the same company were also asked to testify and press their fingerprints.

Statistics were also made on the wounded sergeants, and records were also made for some of the seriously injured.

All of these are well-founded, and there are various detailed records such as witnesses and physical evidence.

As for Zhu Houzhao's beheading of one person, Qin Shao's records are more detailed.

His writing has always been good, and he described in detail how Zhu Houzhao beheaded the soldier to save the people around him.

They also interviewed the people present, including Xiaosanzi, Wang Yin, Jiang Bin and the guards around Zhu Houzhao.

Write down their descriptions one by one, and describe the appearance of the killed Tatar soldiers and the soldiers' badges on their bodies.

Wang Xun is a smart man, and he took the initiative to testify to the emperor's bravery and dedication to the battle.

In the end, these people all signed and pledged to testify.

In addition, Qin Shao also interviewed military households who volunteered to contribute cattle and mules to their families.

One of the family's husband and son died in the fight against the Tatars.

That family was the first to donate their own cattle and mules, with the purpose of killing the Tatars and avenging their own males.

Qin Shao wrote down their bloody hatred and encounters in the tone of the old mother and his wife.

He also described their impoverished lives. There was not enough black-faced buns to eat, the children at home were naked, the weather was cold and they had no clothes, and the straw sandals were so rotten that they could not bare their feet.

"Self-evident..."

Zhu Hou looked at the interview records, his eyes were red, and he was on the verge of tears.

"It's not easy for me, the frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! It's not easy!"

After speaking, tears fell like rain.

Boys don't cry easily!
Qin Shao knew that Zhu Houzhao was venting his emotions accumulated for many days.

In fact, when interviewing those people, what he saw made him almost cry.

The hard work and pain of those people, in fact, in many cases, words alone cannot describe it.

The content recorded by Qin Shao is nearly a hundred pages long, and it is related to all aspects of this battle.

He also copied a copy, and Wang Yin, who had recovered a lot from his injury, sent it to Zhang Cong in Shangjing first.

Even though it is not easy for those people to refute his descriptions, after all, the certified physical evidence has detailed information.

But it is easy for them to hide and not want to let more people know about it.

But this is not what he wants!

They didn't want people to know the greatness and cruelty of this battle, so he let everyone in the world know.

He doesn't believe that those people can stop the mouths of everyone in the world!
