"No more detailed battle report?" Inside the palace, Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied.
Zhu Youxiao certainly knew that a more detailed report was on the way, and this was just the first briefing delivered.
Because this was a very strict rule, no matter how big or small the battle was, no matter whether it was won or lost, a detailed report had to be made. The Ministry of War kept the records, the Ministry of Martial Arts kept the records, and after analysis and research, they were distributed to the various departments.
Learning war in war is not an empty talk. Every bloodshed and sacrifice must be valuable.
It is precisely because of this mechanism that the various units of the Ming army were able to absorb the experiences and lessons of friendly forces, constantly adjust and make continuous progress.
For example, the Battle of Guangning exposed the Jiannu's weakness in offensive attack. If the Ming army, in its low point, could eliminate the internal traitors and resort to defense instead of attack, it would have been the correct choice.
Another example is the defensive counterattack at Port Arthur, which provided a good reference for other Ming armies. It also proved that breastworks and trenches can effectively provide protection and effectively kill the enemy.
It is precisely because of this constant analysis and summarization that tactical play can be improved without having to experience it personally, taste the taste of victory or defeat, and without wasting the lives of soldiers.
Therefore, while Zhu Youxiao was excited, he also wanted to know the details of the battle.
Although it is a bit awkward to say that the cavalry defeated the Jiannu cavalry, which was famous for its mounted archery, in a field battle, it is not an exaggeration to call it a milestone.
Zhu Youxiao was eager to know the answer to whether it was the cavalry wall that played a big role, or other tactics that led to victory.
After the fall, a large number of cavalry from the Beijing Camp would set out for western Liaoning. If useful information could be obtained from this battle, it would be crucial for the next stage of the operation.
Seeing that the emperor seemed displeased, Wang Tigan quickly put on a smile and said, "Your Majesty, should we make the prisoner offering ceremony more solemn this time? It's not easy to capture the Second Prince of Jiannu alive."
Having been distracted by Wang Tigan, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had been too hasty. Thinking about the captive offering ceremony, he felt that he had to perform well this time. The feeling of ruling over the people was not something he could often experience.
The last time I presented the captives, I was in a bad mood because of that bastard Xu Hongru. This time, while making amends, I also wanted to let the world see the emperor's authority and eliminate more possible obstacles.
It's not surprising that the emperor also wants to build up his reputation and authority. Only when the imperial power is strong can the civil service group be suppressed and allowed to go further and faster.
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It would be good to boost the morale of the people. I will issue an order to transfer some heroes to the capital. The effect should be even better."
The hero is ready-made and is currently on the air. He is the survivor among the 1,800 warriors.
Zhu Youxiao was ready to use them as the backbone to form the strongest mixed brigade, and named it "Panshi", which means towering and immovable.
Border troops entering the capital? Wang Ti was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the keyword "hero". I understand, now the heroes being talked about outside, I heard there are only a few hundred left.
The naturalized cavalry could accomplish such a great feat and should be given a title and a flag. The emperor stroked his chin and began to think about how to reward them.
There are also the three Liaonan associations that repelled Daishan with infantry, as well as meritorious officers and soldiers from other units. Even if they are not given titles or flags, they should not be stingy with silver and medals.
"Summon Dong Qichang to the palace for an audience." The emperor raised his head and issued a somewhat abrupt decree.
Wang Tigan hurriedly sent someone to do it, but he didn't know why the emperor suddenly thought of Lord Dong from the ceremony of offering prisoners.
Nonsense, with Master Dong here, designing a logo and a flag, and the emperor doing it himself? Being a carpenter is no problem, but being an artist is not his specialty, Zhu Youxiao feels.
……………………
Some are happy and some are sad. It's normal in such a big world with so many people.
Zhu Youxiao in the palace only saw the complete annihilation of the Jiannu cavalry and the capture of Dayu Amin alive, and did not take the Khorchin prisoners of war who were being escorted to the capital seriously.
But some people are thinking about their parents and brothers, and worrying about the safety of their loved ones.
The carriage rumbled forward and bumped over a pothole, which allowed Hailanzhu, who was frowning in thought, to raise her head and stare blankly at the scenery along the way.
The scenery can only be described as desolate. Although Guangning was recovered, the people would not be resettled for the time being and it was under military control.
There are two advantages to doing this. First, it prevents the people from being harmed by war. What if the Jiannu or Mongols attack? Second, it helps to keep military operations secret, which is the same reason as the relocation of all Liao people.
Although the Liao people could escape by sneaking across the Liao River, and the Mongolian tribes were also returned to the Han people, they were just passing through the Guangning area, and were resettled in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, or went to the inland to find relatives and friends.
To put it bluntly, it's easy to get in, but hard to get out. Aside from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which oversees the horse market, no other Han Chinese leave the border. Spies sent by the Later Jin or the Mongol tribes would find it difficult to escape.
This trick worked well. The Later Jin Dynasty could not obtain timely and accurate intelligence, and could only get out limited information through the gaps deliberately left by the Zhenfu Division. If you often read fake newspapers, you can imagine the kind of misjudgment that will occur.
For example, if Nurhaci believed that the Ming court would draw elite troops from the nine borders to reinforce Liaoxi, he could only gather heavy troops in Liaoshen, and the troops in other places would naturally be insufficient.
Hai Lanzhu and her two companions were destined for the capital of the Ming Dynasty, as that was the final destination for the captives to be surrendered. There was no other way, no matter how anxious they were, they had to follow the arrangements of the officials and the Ming army. Trying to catch up with their relatives quickly was unlikely.
I have changed into Han Chinese clothes. Although they are made of coarse cloth, they are much cooler, although this cannot dispel the sadness and worries in my heart.
"I heard they said we were taking a boat to the seashore." Bumbutai had just dozed off, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she sat up and asked Darhan, "What does the sea look like? Is it bigger than the Choel River?"
