The battle ended with a complete victory of the Ming army.

After the baptism of the Ming army's artillery and grenades, the Qing army completely lost its power of resistance and fled in all directions.

There is no way to do this. What else can they do if the coach died in battle and the coach flags were scattered?

If you don't run away, are you waiting to die?

The Qing soldiers who did not run away naturally became the Ming army's sword ghosts, and their heads were cut off for combat achievements.

The Emperor Zhu Youlang of the Ming Dynasty personally went out of the city to welcome the victorious soldiers.

Bai Wenxuan took the lead and walked in the front, turning over and dismounting and performing his respects when he was more than ten steps away from the emperor.

Zhu Youlang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Bai Wenxuan up and said in a harmonious voice: "Thank you for your hard work, General Bai."

"Killing the enemy and serving the country is the duty of the minister."

As the spring was chilly, Zhu Youlang personally took off his cloak and put it on Bai Wenxuan and said, "This battle relieved the power of the Ming Dynasty, and I feel comforted."

Bai Wenxuan naturally did not expect the emperor to treat him so politely. He clasped his fists and said in a touching manner: "Your Majesty treats me so well, and I am ashamed of you."

Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "General Bai is so brave, he is so humble."

He looked around and rushed towards Li Dingguo, and Mu Tianbo said, "King of Jin, how do you think the war is going to be fought?"

Li Dingguo hurriedly said, "This great victory in this battle is all the achievements of Your Majesty. Your Majesty is invincible, and the soldiers are encouraged to kill countless enemies."

This flattery is very good. There is something to say if you want to make sense.

As the emperor, Zhu Youlang stood at the top of the city to cheer for the drums and boost morale and even shot arrows to kill the enemy. However, it was a bit too much to attribute the credit to Zhu Youlang.

Even loyal ministers like Li Dingguo can't help but flatter you, which is really sad.

"Your Majesty is better than Emperor Tang and Han Wu."

Mu Tianbo's boasts even more exaggeratedly, even Zhu Youlang's martial arts skills were better than Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and said such words.

That is, Zhu Youlang knew that they were loyal ministers, otherwise he would not have laughed at them.

"I firmly believe that the Ming Dynasty will definitely win a great victory in this battle, but this is all due to the lives of the three armies."

As the emperor, Zhu Youlang had no reason to compete for merit with his ministers. In other words, the greater the credit of his ministers, the more he had, does it mean that his leadership was good?

To be honest, Zhu Youlang was still a little nervous before this battle. After all, historical books have always portrayed the Qing army, especially the elites of the Eight Banners, as an invincible existence.

But after this battle, Zhu Youlang was convinced that the Qing army was not invincible.

They are flesh and blood, and they will be afraid and defeated.

It is true that defending Kunming is only the beginning of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the establishment of confidence is particularly important.

With confidence, many seemingly impossible things have turned around.

"Your Majesty, how to deal with the corpses of these thieves?"

After a moment of pause, Li Dingguo asked in a deep voice.

"After cutting off your head and building a Jingguan, I want to let the Donglu see what happened to offend me, and the great power of the tomorrow!"

Zhu Youlang blurted out these words and said them firmly.

Li Dingguo clasped his fists and said, "I will receive the order."

He was sincerely delighted.

With such a powerful leader here, the Ming Dynasty can really see the hope of ZTE.

...

...

After returning to the palace, Zhu Youlang gradually calmed down.

Although this battle was a complete victory, the strength comparison between the Ming and Qing dynasties was still huge.

The Ming army now only controls Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.

The rest of the land was almost in the hands of the Qing army.

Just food, the Ming Dynasty was suppressed at two points.

The artillery ammunition he brought in this battle consumed nearly half of the grenades, and it was indeed possible to fill the gap through imitation.

But the actual effect remains to be seen.

Moreover, these guns and cannons are enough to defend one city and attack one city, but they are a bit too much to use to attack the Qing Dynasty.

It seems that we can only climb the technology tree and slowly make it.

There is a long way to go to make a comeback.

However, it can be seen that this battle destroyed a lot of confidence in the Qing army. The power of Prussian guns and cannons exceeded this era made the Qing army feel fearful of the Ming army from the bottom of their hearts.

It is estimated that the Qing army will not dare to invade again in the first half of the time, which gives Zhu Youlang time.

Moreover, the Qing army did not know that Zhu Youlang's number of guns and cannons was limited, so they did not dare to act rashly as long as they had this deterrent.

What made Zhu Youlang even more happy was that this battle killed the Qing army's general Zhao Butai.

This is definitely an unexpected surprise.

Zhu Youlang ordered people to cut off Zhao Butai's head and hang it on the city tower to show the public.

Since the two famous kings of Li Dingguo, Zhao Butai was the highest-level general killed by the Ming army, and he had to promote it well.

As soon as he settled down, Zhu Youlang remembered Wen'anzhi who was far away in Yiling.

After the failure of the Chongqing Battle, Wen Anzhi should have retreated to Yiling, right?

As for the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there is generally no shortage of military generals.

Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, and Feng Shuangli are all first-class tiger generals.

But excellent civil servants are scarce resources.

There are only a handful of Jinshi like Wen Anzhi who was in the Tianqi period.

The most important thing is that Wen Anzhi is both capable and loyal to the court. Zhu Youlang intends to transfer Wen Anzhi into the cabinet.

As for the candidates who were stationed in eastern Sichuan, he could change one, Zhu Youlang had already had a problem with it.

The most urgent task at the moment is to take a rest and recuperate and grow grain as soon as possible.

Yunnan is still too poor in general, with limited grain output, and now it is only barely enough to support the army.

To make the Northern Expedition, we have to rely on the food storage in Jianchang and even the entire Shu.

In a few months, it will be the spring plowing season. Zhu Youlang decided to go to the people in person to give confidence to the people.

Then there is training.

Although Li Dingguo is loyal, Zhu Youlang still feels that there should be an army that belongs to him except the Jinyiwei.

This is not that he distrusts Li Dingguo, but that Zhu Youlang can take the initiative at any time.

As for Bingyuan, he decided to choose from the young and strong people who helped defend the city. First, these people are locals and have an instinctive sense of responsibility for defending their families and countries.

Secondly, these people have seen blood and will not be stage frightened on the battlefield.

Compared to those veterans, Zhu Youlang is more willing to use newcomers.

These newcomers are like white paper, allowing them to train in their ideal way.

Zhu Youlang wanted to build an army that was completely different from this era and acted as a trump card in his hand.

As he was pondering, the eunuch Han Miao suddenly came to report: "Emperor, the empress asks for a visit."

Zhu Youlang was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Is the queen?"

Since he came to this world, he has never seen the queen on his own initiative, mainly because he is afraid that the queen will see any clues.

After all, only the couple knows some details. Zhu Youlang pretends to be like him. If there is a flaw in some details, wouldn’t it be a waste?

But now it seems that he can't avoid it.

Forget it, just meet me. You can’t never meet the queen for the rest of your life, right?

The soldiers come to block the water and the soil!
