Standing on the grassland, looking at the battlefield with a radius of hundreds of miles that was still in a mess after more than ten days of cleaning, Lu Mou and Li Yan stood side by side. The pride in my chest suddenly arose.

"With one punch, the situation has changed drastically. In this battle, within ten years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will no longer dare to look westward. We have truly got rid of the passive situation of internal and external difficulties, and have become active on all sides. To this end, we will be able to With peace of mind, the civil strife of Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong will be quelled in two years or at most three years, and the world will be restored to peace."

Li Yan nodded: "Take another two years to recuperate, and then point your sword at Liaodong. It will take another two to three years to restore the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty."

"Is recovery enough? We also need to thoroughly resolve the issue of Inner and Outer Mongolia. Mongolia will no longer be conquered, but thoroughly integrated."

"That will take some time, about two or three years."

"North Korea, which has gone back on its word, must be destroyed; Japan, which always causes us trouble, must be conquered; Vietnam in the south must be merged, Luzon must be our province, and the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea must be turned into our inland seas. We will base ourselves on the Central Plains and go to the world. Brother Li, follow me and help me achieve my ambition."

Li Yan nodded excitedly: "When the time comes, you will fight everywhere, and I will be your strong backing."

"Here you go again. You are always willing to push me, the dignified regent, out into danger. Is this appropriate?"

"Your Majesty is so ambitious. You have to do it yourself so that you don't end up regretting it. I am giving you a chance."

"Okay, you will assist my brother in the capital and be a peaceful and stable emperor. I will focus on conquering the world. Let's work hard."

But the dialogue between brothers is still just a painting. The world war is over and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have completely lost. However, during the entire war, the total sacrifice of the Ming army has reached 150,000, and nearly 200,000 soldiers were injured. Countless money and food were spent. If it hadn't been for the calculation of the Eight Families who came to the door, and if Yu Minzhong hadn't plundered North Korea, the Ming Dynasty's finances would have almost collapsed. If he continues to fight, he will be unable to do so.

Facing such a battle-loss ratio, Lu Mou's heart was trembling.

With the Great Wall as a backing, the world's most advanced crushing weapons and equipment, and an ambush in the valley, under such favorable conditions, our side's battle losses were still so high. This fully shows how powerful the Manchu soldiers were at that time. .

They are strong, in fact, they have been strong for more than 20 years, and they have an absolute sense of psychological superiority over the Ming army.

Therefore, the weapon-only theory is really not feasible. Only people are the foundation that ultimately determines victory. It was before, it is now, and it will be even more so in the future Korean War.

I hope that this victory can shatter the Qing Dynasty's self-confidence and cultivate the self-confidence of its own Ming army. At that time, it will be the time to absolutely crush the enemy.

But now Lu Mou has his sights set on the Mongolian Torgut tribe.

What else is the reason? The national treasury has been depleted, and money is needed for post-war rewards and post-war recovery. According to his usual method of obtaining money through rape, he would rob whoever he didn't want.

"My lord, tell me, how much money can be saved in the royal court of the Turgut tribe?"

Immediately feeling that what he said was revealed, he quickly spoke righteously: "In this battle, we severely damaged the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, causing their real vitality to be severely damaged. They can no longer take care of Mongolia. We must continue our efforts and completely defeat Mongolia in the middle and Mongolia in the west." It is time to incorporate it into the territory of our Ming Dynasty and establish official governance to completely eliminate the Mongolian threat to our northern Ming Dynasty and fulfill the regrets of our ancestors. "

Zu Dashou said clearly: "The Torgut tribe was one of the core tribes of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Its ancestors followed Temujin and Kublai Khan to conquer the world and plundered massive amounts of treasures, gold and silver from the world and the Central Plains." Zu Dashou said clearly. Dashou made the point.

"Old Duke, don't keep mentioning treasures."

"Yes, yes, this is too tacky."

"Let's talk about gold and silver, which are like dung."

The whole room was speechless. Treasures, antiques and cultural relics can still be used to appreciate the elegance of appreciation. Is gold and silver more tacky than dung?

But now we are really not talking about whether antiques and treasures are elegant, or whether gold and silver are really as worthless as dirt.

But talking about fighting again is redundant. Because the current Ming army has also suffered heavy losses, and it is difficult to fight again. Need to rest and recover. Especially Wu Sangui's cavalry also lost nearly 30,000 men this time. Guan Ning is no longer as glorious as it used to be.

(Has Guan Ning ever been glorious?) But if you want to completely occupy rather than conquer the Torgut tribe, you still can't do it without enough cavalry. Zu Dashou's team alone is not enough.

The main thing is, Zu Dashou occupied the Simon Turgut area, who does it belong to? Or is it still developing freely as it is now, just in the name of Ming Dynasty? That was obviously not possible, and Lu Mou was unwilling to do so.

Although it is said that people who are not from my race must have different minds, but my own race is less ambitious? In my opinion, Wu Sangui, who always conserves his strength, doesn't look like a good person.

The Qing Dynasty was defeated, the Great Wall was victorious, and Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong also died down. The world war, which was originally scheduled to end in October, ended three months ahead of schedule and ended with the victory of the Ming Dynasty.

The dark clouds dispersed, and Ming Dynasty stood firm.

"Published to the world, the Great Wall was victorious, and a total of 1.6 million Manchus were annihilated. From then on, the situation in the Ming and Qing Dynasties changed. The whole world celebrated."

"Spread the message to the world, rest and replenish the entire army in March, golden autumn, pacify the south of the Yangtze River, encircle and suppress Li Chuang, and recover the entire Ming Dynasty."

"It is reported that the emperor is in power and the army will return to Beijing in triumph today."

As soon as the good news came out, the world was shocked. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, people rushed to tell each other. They were all happy and excited that the Ming Dynasty had reappeared a strong and iron-blooded army.

People in southern Sichuan believed that it was Li Chuang of Jiangnan and Zhang Xianzhong, the murderer of Sichuan, who should have solved the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The people of the entire Ming Dynasty will once again be bathed in the glory of the stable Emperor Shengtianzi, the generous ruler, the invincible, the benefactor of countless people, and the enterprising regent.

On his way back to the court, Banshi encountered a swarm of people on both sides of the road cheering enthusiastically.

When the army returned to the capital, hundreds of officials from the capital marched twenty miles out of the countryside to greet them.

This is a courtesy that Ming Dynasty has never given to soldiers returning from victory since the founding of the country.

However, among the hundreds of officials, he saw that the leader was his younger brother Yong Wang, but the ruling brother who should be the most welcome was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Mou's heart sank. This was unreasonable. His brother paid a private visit incognito, but when he heard the news of the great victory that had spread all over the world, he should have rushed back to the capital to welcome him and his soldiers. Why didn't this happen? This is unreasonable, it seems to be foreshadowing something.

Suppressing the worries in his heart, he completed all the ritual procedures and led the army into the city.

The soldiers marching in front held in their hands the spiritual tablets of brothers who had died in battle. As soon as this team appeared, the streets were empty and the crowd was greeted with loud gongs and drums, which immediately became solemn and silent.

No matter the gentry, officials or common people, all of them had tears in their eyes, bowed and saluted, and watched the heroic team pass by.

At the Meridian Gate, all the memorial tablets of the fallen martyrs are placed in the Hall of Heroes. Under the monument to the unknown hero, it was buried by flowers in the blink of an eye.

When he returned to the Meridian Gate Square and saw that the only person standing at the Meridian Gate to greet him was his father, Lu Mou was horrified.

After hastily completing the ceremony, he quickly entered the palace and went directly to his brother's palace, Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace is very quiet, surprisingly quiet. With a worried heart, he pushed open the closed palace door. All the curtains in the Qianqing Palace were white. In the center of the hall, under the high burning candles, he saw the huge nanmu coffin. Lu Mou was helplessly limp. On the ground, he passed out directly.

At the same time, as the great eunuch Li An stood at the Meridian Gate, he announced with a tearful voice: "The Prince of the Ming Dynasty has passed away——" The whole Beijing, and then the whole world, cried loudly. The whole world is worried about the broken political situation, and everyone is crying because of the loss of a future emperor who is generous, tolerant and benevolent.

Lu Mou's dream on the front line on the emotional day was true, and the heavy rain on the seven-day emotional day was caused by sadness for being in power. (End of chapter)
