Chapter five hundred and sixty fourth hero
"Congratulations to the Grand Marshal! The Grand Marshal is really planning and winning a thousand miles away!"
"You are right. The Grand Marshal has really greatly increased my power in this battle, and it is really worth celebrating!"
"The mere clown jumping in the pseudo-Ming Dynasty is not worth mentioning in front of the Grand Marshal. If the Grand Marshal is in Jiangbei, Jiangbei should be as solid as a god."
"Yes, yes, the pseudo-Ming army was destroyed by the commander of the commander. Just like Zhuge Kongming's actions of burning the Red Cliffs in the past, after this battle, only the remaining soldiers and defeated generals in the pseudo-Ming in Jiangbei are just around the corner."
"According to my opinion, we will clear the remnants of the pseudo-Ming in Jiangbei. We can take advantage of the victory to cross the river and pursue it again. When we take advantage of the situation, we will conquer Nanjing. The pseudo-Ming will inevitably collapse. At that time, the general will be the first hero in the revival of our Qing Dynasty. We will be the name of the eternal and set an example for future generations!"
"You are right, come on, you all respect the handsome guy!"
“Come on….”
In the official office of Yue Zhongqi in Jiangdu, everyone was full of joy and cheerfulness. Several civil servants even cried with joy and raised their glasses to write poems and sang loudly on the spot.
Since the Ming Dynasty restored its capital in Nanjing, the Qing Dynasty has gradually declined. As time goes by, the Qing Dynasty not only lost half of the southern country, but also lost the capital after the Ming Dynasty attacked Tianjin. The communist ruler in the eyes of the world fled in a panic. Although it is called "Western Shou", anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Qing Dynasty is no longer good.
The Qing Dynasty is now fragmented. With the Ming army's strategy of opening up the north and south, once the Central Plains is lost, Jiangbei and Shandong will inevitably be in danger. By then, what else can be left after the clearance of the northwest and the uncontrollable southwest?
As loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, these people were worried about this, and some even felt desperate.
At this time, Yue Zhongqi actually fought an inspiring victory in Jiangbei, not only defeating the main force of the Ming army in Tangzhuang, but also directly destroying all the other party's supplies in Tangzhuang, making the stalemate Jiangbei battle situation suddenly beneficial to the Qing army.
This was like a heart-warming agent, which made the Qing Dynasty cheer for it. In their opinion, this victory was no less than the Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms, and perhaps a reversal battle for the entire world. The Ming army, which claimed to be invincible, was not invincible. The Qing army was also capable of defeating the Ming army and directly annihilated it.
What's more, when the news of Gao Zhiguo's death came later, the Qing Dynasty was even more excited. This was the highest-level general in the Ming and Qing dynasties since the war started. It's a pity that he could not kill Jiangbei's commander Zhu Yigui. If Zhu Yigui could be killed, Jiangbei would have completely won.
But it doesn't matter. Even so, the Ming army in Jiangbei lost its ability to attack and could only hide in the Tangzhuang area. In everyone's opinion, as long as Yue Zhongqi adds a lot of effort, he can drive all the Ming army in Jiangbei into the Yangtze River to feed the turtle. Then he will take advantage of the opportunity to cross the river and approach Nanjing City. The so-called Ming emperor will not surrender under the Qing Dynasty's heavenly soldiers? Isn't the world settled?
For a time, many people were immersed in the atmosphere brought by this victory, as if the Qing Dynasty was expected to revival and the Ming army was defeated. Even Prince Cheng, who was far away in Shandong, specially sent someone to congratulate Yue Zhongqi. As for the court far away in Xi'an, there has not been any news yet, but judging from the current situation, once Emperor Jianxing learned about it, he would definitely reward Yue Zhongqi with great importance, and it is very likely that he would be a marquis at that time.
The Qing Dynasty has always been the first in military merits. Yue Zhongqi made such a great contribution in this battle, and maybe he could be promoted to another level in the future. Although the Han vassal state has long since the reduction of the vassal states, it is different from the past. Who knows what the future will be with Yue Zhongqi's age and contributions?
At that time, maybe Yue Zhongqi will be granted the title of king and vassal together with the Qing Dynasty who entered the pass and became an important official in the world. While happy, there will be many people who flatter Yue Zhongqi, and the scene is full of joy.
Yue Zhongqi smiled, neither arrogant nor humble, nor wasted, nor was she proud, but seemed very humble. This made everyone look at General Yue with admiration. This is the true demeanor of a famous general. Looking around, only General Yue can turn the tide and save the great waters and fires.
The celebration banquet ended in the middle of the night. After seeing off all the officials, Yue Zhongqi, who was drunk, returned to the backyard. However, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he asked someone to get hot water to wash it a little. Then he came to the back hall and looked up at the map hanging on the wall.
If you win a battle, it is definitely impossible to say you are unhappy. After all, this is a rare victory, and it is a victory that almost determines the fate of Jiangbei.
However, if Yue Zhongqi was as happy as others, and even thought that he could wipe out the Ming army in Jiangbei in one fell swoop, and then cross the river to attack Nanjing, Yue Zhongqi never thought about it.
As a famous general, Yue Zhongqi possesses all the qualities of a famous general. It can be said that he is the most outstanding general of this era, rather than one of them. He is outstanding in terms of strategic and tactical vision, or military ability.
Compared with the Ming army, Yue Zhongqi lacked only a strong government, well-trained soldiers and advanced equipment. If he were from the Ming army, he would definitely be able to become the general that Zhu Yicheng attaches most and be valued. But he was on the side of the Qing Dynasty, so his talent and ability were limited to these but could not be fully utilized.
In addition to these, a famous general must also have an extremely clear mind. Of course, Yue Zhongqi will not be hot-headed because of a victory, and even thinks that he is invincible and can pacify the world. Yue Zhongqi actually sees clearly the gap between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and this gap cannot be reversed by one or several local victories. Even if he wins this battle, the situation in Jiangbei will only ease. To turn the situation around, it is simply self-deception.
Yue Zhongqi knew that Tangzhuang won a lucky battle. Although the battle was planned for a long time, all the previous efforts would be wasted if there was a slight accident during the implementation process. Fortunately, Yue Zhongqi was lucky and finally won a battle. However, after this battle, with his understanding of Zhu Yigui, it would be even more difficult to defend against Jiangbei.
To be honest, Yue Zhongqi's original battle results were greater than that now, but in fact they did not meet expectations. This was because after the Tangzhuang camp chaos, although the Ming army lost most of its combat effectiveness under that situation and was destroyed by Yue Zhongqi, the elite Ming army still carried out some resistance under the small group organization, which made the troops led by Yue Zhongqi fail to achieve the result of completely annihilation of the opponent.
