"But Amin..." Having said this, Abai looked lonely and couldn't continue.

Manggurtai was stunned. Of course he knew what Abai meant.

Amin stayed by his father Khan's side, ready to fight in the sniper attack on the Ming army.

Unexpectedly, Amin was bombarded by artillery before he even went into battle.

"What exactly is going on?" Manggurtai asked with a serious face.

"When the artillery bombarded, my father Khan was pinned down by his personal guards. Everyone was busy protecting my father Khan, so Amin was hit by the artillery. The second artillery shell landed next to him. Amin was seriously injured and passed away just now." Abai said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Manggurtai's face instantly turned ugly and his eyes turned red.

"Now is not the time to be sad." Abai looked at Manggurtai and said directly, "I don't know if the Ming army will catch up. We must protect our father Khan and retreat quickly. At the same time, we must prepare our troops to prevent the Ming army from attacking."

Manggurtai looked at Abai and saw a solemnity in his eyes.

This made Manggurtai realize one thing: his father Khan's injury was not as serious as Abai said. He was afraid that other accidents would happen, but there was no way to talk about it here.

So Manggurtai nodded.

Unlike the sad atmosphere of Wild Boar Skin, the Ming army can be said to be extremely celebratory.

However, as the battlefield was cleared, the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Everyone was originally engaged in the battle, and were very happy to have won. But now that the battlefield was being cleaned up and many bodies of the Ming defenders were being carried out, the atmosphere naturally became somber.

As the battlefield was cleared, the outcome of this battle became apparent.

Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Guangrong, listened to his report, nodded slowly and said, "Pass the order down. I will immediately report all the meritorious soldiers to the court and request that the court commend their merits. I will also report to the court for the soldiers who died in battle and request that the court increase their pensions."

"Yes, Marshal." Li Guangrong agreed.

After winning this battle, these are just what we should do. Spreading these words now can be regarded as a way to calm the troops and let everyone be mentally prepared.

Xiong Tingbi said directly: "I will write a victory report immediately and send it to the capital by express horse."

"Then I'll take my leave." Li Guangrong agreed and turned to walk out.

This kind of thing is not convenient for Li Guangrong to participate in. This is Xiong Tingbi's right, and Li Guangrong has other things to do.

Meanwhile, in the capital, the atmosphere was as harmonious as ever, though some people were happy and some were unhappy.

In the Shuntian Prefecture government office.

Wei Dazhong angrily stared at the official in front of him and asked, "What evidence do you have to lock me up? You're wrongly accusing a good man! Is this how you arrest people and handle cases in Shuntian Prefecture?"

Standing in front of Wei Dazhong was a man in his fifties, wearing the official uniform of a civil servant. Judging from his appearance, he should be the Tongpan of Shuntian Prefecture.

Upon hearing Wei Dazhong's words, the Tongpan's face darkened and he said, "Considering that you are a scholar, we have been polite enough. Please don't be ungrateful. I am Chen Qihe. If you are dissatisfied with anything, you can appeal to the higher authorities."

Chen Qihe said angrily: "As a scholar, how can you be so ignorant?"

"This time, you're involved in a major theft case. Anyone involved will be arrested. Once your innocence is proven, you'll be released. You're supposed to cooperate with the authorities in the investigation. Don't you, a scholar, have this much awareness?"

Wei Dazhong glared at Chen Qihe and said, "Instead of tracking down the real culprit, you arrested everyone. This is dereliction of duty. Is this how you serve His Majesty?"

Chen Qihe looked at Wei Dazhong and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

In fact, this kind of thing happened a lot in the government offices. If you were suspected of being involved in a crime, they would arrest you and then take you to the prison for further investigation. This was to prevent the suspect from escaping.

However, Chen Qihe also knew that this approach could be used to frame people.

Often, when officials wanted to kill someone, they would use this method to arrest the person and put him in jail. Once in jail, they would naturally torture him in every possible way, or kill him in some vicious way.

By the time the case was fully investigated, it was discovered that this person had nothing to do with the case, yet he was dead. It was obvious that he had contracted a disease in prison and died unexpectedly.

The imperial court would express condolences and provide some compensation to the family of the deceased, and local officials would even visit the family in person to comfort them.

But these are just superficial efforts. In reality, someone wants to kill this person, so they throw him into jail.
