Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 267 The Great Ming Hastily Pursues the Great Qing and Retreats Calmly
In the north of Guiyang City, Le Erjin, who was still in shock, turned his head to look south, muttering in his mouth.

"We are heading north!"

"Yizhang is not good for cavalry to fight, the general is going to lure Ming Yao to Hengzhou, and fight with him again!"

The admiral of Shaanxi and the future King Batulu of Qing Dynasty Jinbao, who chased him all the way, couldn't bear to see Le Erjin's pale face, and gave a reason.

"That's right, that's right, Yizhang has no depth, and the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty can't use it. As long as Ming Yao is lured over, the Qing Dynasty has millions of soldiers and horses, and Ming Yao can make dumplings at any time!"

All the way to "calmly" flee, Le Erjin panted, and his face was slightly bloody.

"The general is right. The Qing is retreating victoriously, and the Ming Yao is chasing after him in haste. The Qing is sure to win!"

The Eight Banners soldiers who followed him agreed.

Good guy, he is indeed a boy of the Eight Banners who is good at walking birds and bragging. A big defeat can be directly defined as the victory of the Qing Dynasty!
That's what he said, but Le Erjin was still not happy.

If it was the first few days of this battle when Le Erjin was most energetic and energetic in his life, then these few days were the time when Le Erjin was most frightened and frightened in his life.

It was ten times more miserable than being deprived of his title three years ago, and he no longer dared to think about what Kangxi would do with him after this battle.

His [-] troops are gone, and his [-] cannons are gone.

Four days ago, when the rain fell, not only did the Ming Yao not stop the shells and firecrackers, but the infantry charged like crazy, and the whole army collapsed.

Fortunately, I made my decision early and ran towards Hunan desperately, otherwise my life would have been explained!
Even luckier, the cavalry unit of Shaanxi Admiral Wang Jinbao caught up behind him!

At that time, this group of people was startled, thinking that it was Ming Yao cavalry chasing them!
Le Erjin was even ready to sacrifice his life for the country, but when he saw that Wang Jinbao was still holding [-] intact cavalry, Le Erjin wanted to hug him and kiss him, thanking him for not obeying his orders completely.

Relying on the [-] cavalry, his army camp can retreat calmly.

He retreated calmly, crossing the middle of Huangcen Mountain to Guiyang.

In contrast, Sun Sike was unlucky. He didn't have a large group of cavalry in his hands, so he had to retreat northward through the steep southern section of Huangcen Mountain. There is no news yet, and it is estimated that there are basically no people left.

Le Erjin still wanted to wait for the letter in Guiyang. Everyone persuaded him that Gansu Green Camp was brave and could protect Sun Sike no matter what, so Le Erjin ignored him and retreated to the north without stopping, heading straight for Hengzhou .

Everyone knows in their hearts that the end point is not Hengzhou, not even Changsha and Yuezhou. The more than [-] troops collapsed, and they might have to retreat to Jingzhou to confront the Ming Yao across the Dongting, just like when they fought against Wu Sangui in San Francisco so-so.

Le Erjin is making a good prospect here, and the army has gradually arrived in Hengzhou, but the situation of the remaining green battalion soldiers in his hands is not good.

Because of this battle, a lot of food was lost to Daming.

They fell into a food shortage all of a sudden, and the Green Battalion soldiers, as the bottom of the Qing army, were naturally even worse.

And good things are also given priority to the old soldiers of the Eight Banners. The green battalion soldiers can just give them soup and sweet potatoes to survive starvation.

By the way, Kangxi also started to grow sweet potatoes.

It's just that the sweet potatoes of their era are unpalatable, and they can't compare with the sweet potatoes that have been improved for countless generations in the later generations of Daming!
"Damn it! It's sweet potato and pickled vegetables with rice soup again. It's so f*cking to feed the dog, the dog won't even eat it!"

A soldier from the Green Camp of the Qing Army slapped the clear soup in his hand on the table.

"That's not true! At this time in previous years, everyone would have gone back to their respective homes. It's the New Year's Eve. Let alone going home this year. After a big defeat, maybe they have to explain their fate here!"

Another soldier also said angrily.

"Look at what those Eight Banners old soldiers eat, and then look at what we eat? It's stupid, it doesn't treat us as human beings, and we want us to help them fight!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, if your boss hears this, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die."

The officers and soldiers of the green battalion of the Qing army were very resentful. Since they were assembled to fight the war, they had rice soup and sweet potatoes every day, without any meat. Even during the war, their food did not improve at all.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners provided a lot of wine and meat every day.

Under the huge disparity in treatment, the anger in the hearts of the green battalion soldiers has accumulated to the limit.

"Those who are on the horse, if you don't eat it, you will die. I will go to the officials and lords to discuss it now! I don't believe that those people can kill me indiscriminately!"

A soldier from the Green Battalion of the Qing Army became more and more angry when he thought about it, and slapped the table with his palm, splashing all the rice soup on the table.

"Yes! Go find an official to ask for an explanation. He eats sweet potatoes every day and farts after eating them. No wonder he can't beat Ming Yao!"

Some people took the lead, and immediately others echoed with red necks, and attributed the defeat to poor food!
As for the rest of the soldiers, after they yelled like this, the anger accumulated in their hearts was also channeled out, and they stood up one after another to respond.

For a while, the pottery bowls were broken one after another.

And Hengzhou Fucheng, the back hall of the magistrate's yamen.

"General, this is a small gift prepared by the lower officials for the general. I hope the general will not dislike you."

Mou Bosheng, the military guard, had received the news of Le Erjin's defeat a long time ago, and prepared some things in Hengzhou to express his condolences to Le Erjin.

Mou Bosheng waved his hand, and several servants immediately brought up four boxes, opened them directly and placed the shining silver inside in front of Le Erjin.

Seeing these four boxes of silver, Le Erjin's eyes brightened up a bit, but he didn't do anything else, just said lightly:
"Bo Sheng, you are determined! But the general has already received the letter about your greed for food and grass!"

When a battle is defeated, someone has to come out to take responsibility. It just so happened that this soldier was greedy for food and grass, and Le Erjin was going to take him to the knife.

Mou Bosheng is also true, although he knew in his heart that this battle was very important, he still couldn't hold back the greed in his heart and started to attack the food.

Mou Bosheng's face changed after hearing Le Erjin's words, and then he waved his hand again, and several servants brought up four boxes of silver again.

"General, here is a total of 10 taels of silver. There are two Yangzhou skinny horses that have just been bought in the lower official's mansion, and they also pay tribute to the general. I hope the general can take care of them." Mou Bosheng said humbly. .

This time Le Erjin finally nodded in satisfaction, he glanced at Mu Bosheng and said:
"Bo Sheng is so kind, if this general doesn't appreciate it, it will be a little unreasonable. Don't worry, since this general has accepted your benefits, no one will trouble you!"

As soon as Le Erjin finished speaking, there was a noise outside the prefect's compound. Le Erjin frowned and said displeasedly:
"what happened?"
