Chapter 837

Usually Liu Peng and Yuan Keli were polite, but now Liu Peng was suddenly angry. Yuan Keli also knew that the court had indeed treated Liu Peng badly on this issue, and he was prepared for this: "Mr. Liu, don't be angry. Although Feng Tang is old and Li Guang is difficult to be granted, you are still young now, so don't be too anxious. Sooner or later you will have the position of Duke and Marquis!"

But Liu Peng was still angry: "Others have a good daughter, or a good sister, and a good sister, and the family can be full of princes. But the credit we tens of thousands of soldiers who have shot the country with real swords and guns is not worth the money. So far, we are just a mere starting troops and preparing for the road..."

Speaking of this, Liu Peng sneered: "Yuan Fuyuan should know where we are at our feet. The court actually gave me a preparatory road to the original army. This is a huge joke."

Of course, Yuan Keli knew that the imperial court gave Liu Peng the position of the original military preparation road to prevent Liu Peng from being in trouble, but once many words were said, it would be difficult to end. Therefore, Yuan Keli could only control the situation as much as possible: "Mr. Liu, don't be angry! This time I will definitely help you win the position of Yuan Ma Siqing and Jin Fuhai's military preparation road to help you get it!"

But Yuan Keliyue said this and Liu Peng was angry: "Yuan Fuyuan, it's not that I don't give you face. You have been saying this for a whole year, a whole year... You have to know that as the commander of the Haibei Army, I can't be promoted to the title. How can the brothers below rise up... Many brothers are almost discouraged, so I have to ask someone to go to Zhuyuan Masiqing's seal!"

Liu Peng's words scared Yuan Keli to death. He didn't expect that Liu Peng had reached the point of casting seals on his own. This was not to take the court seriously at all. Therefore, he quickly grabbed Liu Peng's hand and said, "No, Mr. Liu, this matter is absolutely not allowed. If you disobey the imperial court's laws, you will be destroyed for more than ten years and you will become a sinner for eternity!"

Liu Peng shook his head and said, "I'm not casting a seal for myself. My father-in-law guards Liaodong. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians under his command must have a name, right? You can't use your little experience to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, so the seal of Yuanma Siqing must be cast!"

But when Liu Peng spoke like this, Yuan Keli knew that there was still a chance to ease the matter, but the conditions proposed by Liu Peng exceeded his expectations. Now Liu Peng is no longer satisfied with the position of Liaodong Yuanma Temple and Jin Fuhai Gai Bing Preparation Road. He hopes to continue to go further, but he wants to hand over the position of Liaodong Yuanma Temple to Jiang Haotian.

Of course, Yuan Keli could understand Liu Peng's emotions. Even before recovering Fuzhou, the Haibei Army had the greatest military achievements in the world, but the rewards received were only a fraction of Guanning's side.

This situation will be serious after the recovery of Fuzhou. The military achievements of the entire world are only a fraction of the Haibei Army. In this case, both Liu Peng and Haibei Army will definitely have some opinions on the great achievements of the imperial court. In fact, Yuan Keli is not relieved if Liu Peng is not angry anymore.

What's more, after the recovery of Fuzhou, the situation in Liaodong had undergone a change that was almost like the world. The court must put aside its posture and win over Liu Peng and the Haibei Army: "Mr. Liu, don't act irritably. Give me a month. Just one month, I promise to do things beautifully. If things are not beautiful, how can I give up my position as governor of Denglai to you?"

Liu Peng smiled bitterly: "Mr. Fuyuan, this is trying to make things difficult for me on purpose! It will take another month for such a thing! And we have been working together for many months!"

Yuan Keli knew that the court had indeed treated Haibei Army in the past: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, I'll help you with this official hat, and I'll help you do this!"

"But Mr. Liu, we are old friends. Let's tell the truth. The opportunity is so rare now. You should compete for more real benefits, such as Yanshen Town, Yanzhou Prefecture and Shandong's money and grain distribution, instead of worrying too much about these false names!"

He immediately added: "No matter whether you have the title of governor or general or not, you have the final say in Liaodong that you are in charge of the company. Whether you have these false names or not, it will not affect this!"

But when Liu Peng heard Yuan Keli say this, he couldn't help laughing. He told Yuan Keli: "Yuan Fuyuan, the reason why I am fighting for these false names is that you have never been willing to give up on these real issues."

But Yuan Keli also laughed: "One time and another time, now Mr. Liu has made such a wonderful achievement, how dare I not let go? Whether it is Yanshen Town, Yanzhou Prefecture or other things, I will do my best to help you, as long as you give the court a chance!"

Before this, Yuan Keli had always adopted a cooperation and confrontational attitude towards the Haibei Army. However, seeing that Liu Peng was about to overturn the table, Yuan Keli naturally softened and helped Liu Peng serve the marquis first. He knew very well that except for Liu Peng and the Haibei Army, no one in the world was a rival to Jiannu.

Moreover, in the past, he had a lot of suspicions about the Haibei Army, but Liu Peng used a simple and beautiful battle in Fuzhou to tell him that the Haibei Army was indeed the king's army of the Ming Dynasty.

They obviously had more choices that were more conducive to the Haibei Army, but they chose the most difficult path and recaptured Fuzhou City from the Jianzhou Army.

In the past, Mao Wenlong had a surprise attack on Zhenjiang, and the Haibei Army also had a mysterious attack on Jinzhou. Even Guanning had recovered several trests in western Liaoning.

However, these battles to regain lost ground were either Jiannu gave up on his own initiative or only a few defenders and Ming troops could take advantage of the opportunity. However, this battle in Fuzhou was completely different. Whether it was the defenders, reinforcements, or the elite army of Jiannu, there were strong cities, heavy troops and giant cannons, the Haibei Army still won a great victory in the end.

This only shows that the Haibei Army is not only what the people want, but also what the destiny is. In this case, the Haibei Army must not be forced into anger. Therefore, Yuan Keli changed his attitude: "Mr. Liu, you must have confidence in the court and even if you don't give the court a chance, you must give me a chance!"

After hearing Yuan Keli say this, Liu Peng finally agreed: "Okay, I will naturally not agree to others say this, but Yuan Fuyuan is different from other people, I must agree!"

Since Yuan Keli reached a specific compromise agreement with Liu Peng, he decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Mr. Liu, then I'll talk more and ask?"

"Does the Haibei Army plan to take all the four guards in Liaoxi? Haizhou and Gaizhou are still in the hands of Jiannu. You just hand over the position of Yuanma Temple to General Manager Jiang. It would be a bit unreasonable. If you take advantage of the victory and take over Haizhou and Gaizhou in one fell swoop, you dare not say that you can use this extraordinary skill to be the king. It would be absolutely no problem to win a Duke and Mausoleum of Wanda!"

But Liu Peng shook his head and said, "Yuan Fuyuan, you look down on me, Liu Peng too much. Do you probably don't know how much the price our Haibei Army will pay to win Fuzhou?"

Yuan Keli was really only concerned about reviewing the results of the Haibei Army, but forgot how much damage the Haibei Army suffered. He immediately asked: "Is the Haibei Army's losses more expected?"

Liu Peng immediately smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just a bit more serious than expected, it's so much more serious than expected. So far, there is no specific casualty statistics, but there are more than 2,000 serious injuries in the hospital!"

Two thousand?

Yuan Keli was really shocked by this number. He immediately asked, "Mr. Liu, are you kidding? Are there really two thousand wounded soldiers who were hospitalized?"

He has been the governor of Denglai for more than a year. Since he cannot be said to be well aware of the internal situation of the Haibei Army, he at least has some understanding. He knows that the reason why the Haibei Army has been in stalemate with Jiannu for so many years but has not been at a disadvantage is that their military power is amazingly strong, and a large hospital can accommodate hundreds of wounded people.

However, the number of injured people in the Haibei Army in Fuzhou this time means that the number of injured people in the Haibei Army must have exceeded one thousand, and the number of injured people in the three thousand is just the number of wounded people in the hospital. The minor wounded people in the team have not been counted.

Before the war, Liu Peng estimated that the Haibei Army would have more than 1,000 casualties, and it is very likely that more than 2,000 or even 3,000 were found. However, he never expected that the Haibei Army would have more than 3,000 soldiers and soldiers, and more than 3,000 seriously injured people who needed to be hospitalized for treatment, which was even higher than Jiannu.

However, such exchange is still very beneficial to the Haibei Army. Jiannu lost no less than 4,000 people in the Battle of Fuzhou, Jiannu and the Mongolian cavalry alone, and these 4,000 people were almost permanent losses.

Although it seems that Nurhaci and all the Beile made up for the permanent losses of these 4,000 people in a short time by allowing Baoyi Aha, Xinzheku and his subordinates to raise the flag, allowing each Niulu to roughly restore the original post.

But this is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, every Niulu who participated in the war was severely damaged or even annihilated. Although Niulu was rebuilt, it was impossible to restore its original combat power.

Although the loss of troops in the Haibei Army far exceeds the total number of the Later Jin Army, most of them are not permanent losses. Although due to limited medical power, a large number of seriously injured people will eventually become martyrs, at least about half of the seriously injured people can return to the battlefield.

But no matter what, the loss of troops in this battle still far exceeded Liu Peng's expectations. Although Liu Peng's initial prediction would be far more than this number, he was determined to turn Fuzhou into a flesh-and-blood mill, but the result was that although the battle had been extremely fierce, it was a one-sided situation overall, and there were almost no major twists and turns.
