Chapter 276 Fa Yuan (Bajiu) counts the results of the battle
The Li family army has always been good at beheading. As for the remnants of the Mongolian army who are stubbornly resisting, they can't make any trouble in front of them. However, since it is not a legitimate front-on killing of the enemy, Li Rusong himself is not that interested.
After he led his troops to launch the attack, he did not personally go to wipe out the remaining enemies of the Mongolian army. Instead, he went to see Jing Lue Gao Pragmatic.
Li Rusong has a "retro" temperament. He adheres to a very magical idea of equal power between civil servants and military officers in this era. He does not agree or admit that civil servants are nobler than military generals. Therefore, he is not essentially loyal to a certain civil servant or general.
The civil service group was loyal only to the emperor.
However, if there is anyone in today's civil servant system who can really suppress Li Rusong, then Gao Pragmatic should be said to be the one who does his part. The reason is extremely simple, not because Gao Pragmatic has a high status, nor is it because Gao Pragmatism is rich.
The world, but because of high pragmatism and great military exploits.
In Li Rusong's eyes, no matter how high Gao Pragmatic's status is or how much wealth he has, it has nothing to do with him and cannot be compared. Li Rusong is only concerned about military exploits, and it is precisely in this aspect that Gao Pragmatic has more confidence than him.
In addition, there is another point related to this, that is, Li Rusong feels that Gao Pragmatic himself is also a bit different, a commander who does not care that the military achievements of his subordinates belong to a specific person.
To put it simply, Li Rusong believed that Gao Pragmatic was fairer than others in this regard. Later, another incident gave Li Rusong a more intuitive understanding of Gao Pragmatic's fairness.
"Officials do not fear my strictness but fear my integrity; the people do not respect my ability but respect my public. If I am honest, officials will not dare to be arrogant; if I am honest, the people will not dare to bully me. Publicity breeds enlightenment, and honesty breeds prestige." This passage is originally highly pragmatic.
When I was studying the spirit of the Central Committee in my previous life, I heard it from Premier Zhu. At that time, I only remembered it as a Ming Dynasty motto, but I didn't care about the specific source.
It turned out that he had previously been promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs and quoted this passage when he was inspecting the administration of warehouse officials. Later, he was accidentally reminded and found out that it was said by Nian Fu, a famous minister in the early Ming Dynasty, and had been engraved in an inscription. What's more, it was a coincidence.
Interestingly, Nian Gong also served as the Minister of Household Affairs.
It hasn’t been too long since Gao Jingshi served as Minister of Household Affairs, but after a series of operations such as inventory inventory, integration of financial rights, unified dispatch, and the establishment of two new departments and eleven departments, he finally completed the war against Yuan in a relatively short period of time.
We prepared supplies and gradually replenished some of the backlog of wages accumulated in the towns of Jiubian in several batches, giving the military affairs of Jiubian a new look.
As one of the nine commanders, Li Rusong was very satisfied and shocked at the same time. If completing the material preparation for Fa Yuan is a manifestation of high pragmatic ability, then making up for the outstanding wages is not only ability, but also fairness.
A manifestation of courage and courage.
To be honest, Jiubian's payment arrears problem has been going on for a long time, and it has long been a mess. No one thinks it can be clarified, let alone replenished.
However, Gao Pangshi didn't know where he got many accountants (actually trained by Jinghua Craftsman School, under the tutelage of Gao Guoyan) to go down to each town, from top to bottom, from the capital commander to the envoy, the guard to the envoy, and the thousand households.
, Baihu Office went all the way down to the most basic level, the general banner and the small banner, and thoroughly cleared the accounts.
Although Gao Pragmatic did not dwell on the issue of land occupation for military camps this time, the issue of the court's salary arrears has been basically investigated. What is shocking is that in just one town in Liaodong, the court's arrears of salary over the years amounted to 130,000 yuan.
More than 100,000 taels, and the accumulated payment arrears of the entire Jiubian are as high as more than 7 million taels.
In response to this, Gao Jingshi clearly expressed his position in the written approval written in the name of the Ministry of Revenue: Every tael of silver will be replenished, but because the amount is too large, and because some military households have either become extinct or have become fugitives,
There are some problems such as household accounts, so the Ministry of Accounts also needs to discuss corresponding solutions. Based on comprehensive measures, it is estimated that it will take ten years to complete them in batches in order to completely fill this black hole in the accounts.
This statement made Gao Wuzhi's reputation in the towns of Jiubian as high as that of a god, and even Li Rusong, who had always been conceited, was convinced. Whoever gave the money to Youdao is the master, not to mention that this master was the one who dug up the old accounts and reissued them.
It's just like a grandfather.
"The last general from Liaodong, Li Rusong, was ordered to come to the rescue. See you at the Sutra Platform." Li Rusong was an upright person. Since he had no prejudice against Gao Pragmatism, he was not arrogant when he saw him. After meeting, he immediately got off his horse and knelt down on one knee.
Gao pragmatic also dismounted with a smile, stepped forward to help him up personally, and said: "Yangcheng came at the right time, and he made great contributions to the victory of this battle."
Li Rusong stood up and heard the words and replied: "The general is just following orders."
"Act according to orders and take the lead in every battle. This is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country." Gao pragmatically said, glanced at the battle situation in the rear formation, pointed over there, and said to Li Rusong: "Now that Yangcheng has arrived, it is up to you to finish the battle.
Come and take command, you will control the eight soldiers in the headquarters."
Li Rusong was quite surprised by Gao Pragmatic's arrangement. He looked around and saw that the five guerrillas present came forward to see him. Li Rusong was even more puzzled. Most of the people present were Gao Dang's disciples. Gao Pragmatic actually took them without thinking.
Put them all under your own command?
What does this mean? Could it be that I am retreating in order to advance and suddenly turn my Liaodong Army into the headquarters of the strategy department?
In fact, it does not violate any laws if Gao Pragmatic wants to use the Liaodong Army as the strategic headquarters. After all, the Liaodong Army is already under Gao Pragmatic's control in this battle. No matter which branch or groups Gao Pragmatic wants to directly control in this battle,
It is natural for an army to be used as a strategic headquarters.
But having said that, after all, everyone knows that Li Rusong's tribe in Liaodong is nominally a member of the Xin School, so they think it is impossible for Gao Pragmatic to do this. Impossible and impossible are two different things.
But Li Rusong was Li Rusong after all. Although he was a little surprised, he did not refuse at all. He immediately accepted the order, then turned around and began to exercise his power, asking: "Generals, it is said that there are eight soldiers who are listening to the order."
Yu, there are only five here, where are the remaining three generals?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ye Bangrong took a small step, cupped his fists and said: "Back to Liao Commander, Hejian led the guerrilla general Jin Bingyue, Baoding Cheying guerrilla general Tong Yangzhong and two generals ambush in the southern crater mountain, Tianjin Coast Defense
Guerrilla general Chen Can is in the rear."
Li Rusong couldn't comment on the highly pragmatic arrangement now. After all, he had just arrived on the battlefield. He didn't know the situation of the Ming-Mongolian coalition before, so he just nodded slightly after hearing this. After looking at the battle situation in the rear army, he said calmly
: "The remaining Mongolian troops have no way to survive. You must obey the order to surround and annihilate them all. Ye Bangrong, lead your headquarters to blockade the northwest..."
Li Rusong really didn't regard himself as an outsider. Since Gao Jingshi delegated power, he dared to give orders. Although he had just arrived on the battlefield, he was not ambiguous at all when he commanded the final battle. What surprised Gao Jingshi was that Li Rusong actually
It was quite prudent to send three of the five generals to the western front to prevent the Chahar people from returning and carrying out sneak attacks.
It seems that Li Rusong was not only brave in fighting, but his wisdom was not inferior to any famous general at that time. This is somewhat interesting. Since he is actually a rough and subtle person, is it true that he accidentally died in battle in history?
what is the problem?
It's a pity that I'm afraid I can't get any definite answer to this question. After all, history has been thrown off the line by him now. There is a high probability that Li Rusong will not have happened in history, so it will naturally be difficult to prove anything.
Seeing that Li Rusong had made very detailed arrangements, Gao pragmatic decisively withdrew the cavalrymen from Gao Funiu's side, dismounted and rested on one side. Although he did not swing his sword to kill anyone, as a serious civil servant, he still commanded the battle on horseback.
It's not easy, but now that Li Rusong is taking care of it, I can be considered relieved.
However, Li Rusong's energy made him very emotional. Some people are really born for the battlefield. This man came all the way, although this time because he had to join the battle immediately after arriving, the second half of the journey would definitely be difficult.
He didn't go all out, but looking at how energetic he was, it seemed that this journey of a thousand miles was like getting up and walking to the bathroom. It's really admirable that there are specialties in the art.
The remaining remnants of the Mongolian army could not resist for long. They originally only had about 5,000 people. One thousand of them were defeated by Gao Funiu. The other 4,000 faced the persistence of Chen Can and the support of the three columns from the left and right wings.
They didn't have any strength advantage. After the main force of Burihatu retreated, they were actually abandoned, and they didn't have much fighting spirit in their hearts. They were quickly wiped out by Li Rusong's troops.
, abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another.
Originally, they planned to run away, but unfortunately, on one side, the Ming army was fighting on the inside, on the other side, Li Rusong's troops were frantically clearing them out, and on the other side, the Ming army on the outside was waiting in tight formation under the command of Li Rusong. It was impossible to defeat them, and there was no way to escape.
, we can only surrender and settle the matter.
Not long after, Li Rusong came to Gao Jingshi to report the results of the battle. At this time, Jin Bingyue and Tong Yangzhong also came back with the ambush force that ultimately had no effect. Gao Jingshi once again asked people to review the results of the entire battle.
The final strength of the Ming army in the Battle of Lightning Lake was the original 28,000 cavalry of the Economic Strategy Headquarters and the 37,000 cavalry that Li Rusong later joined, totaling 65,000. The strength of the Chahar Mongolian army was obviously at a disadvantage, and they probably participated in the battle.
More than 20,000.
The final result of the battle was that the Mongolian army lost about 6,000 to 7,000 people, and the injuries were unknown. Of course, the specific number of prisoners was 3,729, and 2,243 heads were obtained. It can actually be reported
The enemy's casualties were 5,972.
The losses suffered by the Ming army were not small, with 1,496 killed, 531 seriously injured, 1,427 slightly injured, and nine missing. Since all the seriously injured were
Having lost their combat effectiveness and unable to recover in the short term, the Ming army's battle losses were those killed in action plus serious injuries and missing persons, for a total of 2,036 people.
If the Mongolian army had not abandoned the battle and was defeated because of the sudden attack of Li Rusong's troops, then the number of prisoners would usually be difficult to come by, that is, the actual battle losses of the Mongolian army might not even be greater than that of the Ming army. It can be seen from this that Buriha
The tactics applied by Tu in this battle were very successful in theory.
On the other hand, it can be said that the Ming army's cavalry construction and highly pragmatic battlefield command have obvious flaws.
In accordance with Gao Pragmatic's habit, the Ming army made a summary after the war. Gao Pragmatic first took responsibility for his command errors, and also took the problems that occurred in the construction of the Ming army's cavalry on himself, and for the generals and their officers and soldiers.
Their performance was highly praised, and they were commended for their bravery and outstanding performance.
At the same time, Gao pragmatically praised Li Rusong and his Liaodong cavalry, believing that they traveled thousands of miles to help and marched like the wind in this battle, and finally arrived on the battlefield at the most critical moment of the battle, completely changing the battlefield situation.
The decisive force for victory.
He said that Li Rusong would be the first to take credit for this battle, and all the generals in the ministries would also receive a letter of victory from him to take credit. As for the end of the meeting, of course, he encouraged all ministries to make persistent efforts and make new contributions to the complete defeat of Chahar.
The generals of the various ministries were originally a little dissatisfied with Li Rusong, an "outsider", who got the first victory, but they thought that Li Rusong's participation in today's battle was indeed very crucial, so they could only reluctantly accept it. However, they could not help but secretly compete in the bottom of their hearts, hoping that in the subsequent battles
Win the game.
Of course, Li Rusong was quite satisfied. He had always hoped to make the first contribution in the battle against Yuan Dynasty. Unfortunately, he had rushed thousands of miles to Yuerhai in the hope of waiting for the enemy, but he did not expect that the Chahar people played the golden cicada to escape the shell and pounced on it themselves.
It was all in vain and a good opportunity was lost.
Later, when they heard that they were going to attack thousands of miles to be naturalized again, all the generals complained and praised them. They had to rely on sending money and intimidation to stabilize the team, and they rushed thousands of miles again, and finally caught up with today's battle.
It can be said that when looking at Li Rusong, outsiders only saw the "magical Taibao" side of him, but they did not see how much he spent to grab this first achievement - the reward money scattered alone was close to 200,000 taels.
Two hundred thousand taels! For the Li family of Tieling who can basically only "make a fortune" in Liaodong, this is a huge amount of money. If Li Chengliang was still in charge of Liaodong's military affairs, he would never spend such unjust money.
Money, not to mention such a huge amount.
The huge investment finally paid off, but this was not Li Rusong's biggest concern. After thanking Gao Jinglue for his generosity (Zhu Yijun cursed: He is being generous!), he asked energetically
: "Now that this battle has been won, I wonder if Jingtai will take advantage of the victory to pursue it, lift the siege of naturalization in one fell swoop, and completely defeat the Chahar Tatars, killing them all in one fell swoop?"
Without waiting for Gao Gao to answer pragmatically, he even answered his own question and immediately said: "If the Jingtai has such a plan, I will be the first to take the lead!"
These words made the eight guerrillas, including Ye Bangrong, a little dissatisfied: Why, it's not enough for you to get the first credit, you have to continue to get the credit, right?
Although there is some disparity in status, at this moment, the eight soldiers stood in the same trench without hesitation, regardless of the usual resentment between them. They all said that Commander Liao had already had a hard time in this battle, but it was because I had not waited for him before.
We fought well, but the battle loss ratio was not satisfactory. I hope to make up for it... In a word, I would like to ask Master Tai to leave the first battle to us people. After all, why kill a chicken with a sledgehammer!
When Li Rusong heard them singing harmony to each other, his expression suddenly became less good-looking.
