A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle was a battle, but the battle was over.

(Thanks to the book friend for the picture)

The death of Chen Ce did not make the other generals in Liaodong retreat. Instead, they united and marched to the city of Fushun.

Among them were Lu Cheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the soldiers of several other generals, a total of 100,000 troops, ready to completely take Fushun.

The 20,000 cavalrymen of the Later Jin Dynasty had a head-on collision with the 100,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty, and were repelled by the Ming Dynasty's bow and arrow phalanx and musket phalanx. After losing more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, they retreated in time.

Afterwards, the 100,000-man army dug countless small horse traps on all the roads around Fushun, and dug some criss-cross trenches outside Fushun, surrounding the entire Fushun with three sides and one side missing.

Then, He Shixian led the musketeers under Lu Cheng, relying on the range advantage of the muskets, to suppress the archers on the top of Fushun City, and used catapults to throw bombs, grenades and the like on the top of the city.

The siege lasted for a whole day. At three o'clock in the morning of that night, the defenders in the city opened the city gate and fled from the east.

Obviously, after Weining Fort and Qinghe Fort were successively recovered, Fushun was isolated and there was no value in continuing to defend it, so the Later Jin took the initiative to give it up.

So far, Liaodong has completely recovered Liaozhong and Liaonan, leaving only some places in Liaobei that have not been recovered, and the living space of the Later Jin has been further compressed.

At the same time, Emperor Tianqi in Kyoto also received the news of Nurhaci's defeat and death. After confirming the authenticity of the news through various channels, Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed: "I really didn't expect that Nurhaci, a slave chief, would also be defeated and killed. It really makes me happy. Daban, how do you think I should reward Lu Cheng?"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already received the generous gifts from Lu Cheng, so he naturally had to speak well of Lu Cheng: "Your Majesty, since Lu Cheng arrived in Liaodong, he has repeatedly made military achievements. He has been promoted from a small thousand households to a deputy general step by step, and has never disappointed Your Majesty. For such a loyal and capable general, we must reward him well to show our grace. It can also make the Liaodong generals more motivated and make achievements for our Ming Dynasty."

"What Daban said makes sense, but Lu Cheng is already a deputy general, and the next level is a general. However, with his achievements this time, Lao was enough to give him a sea. It was just a hundred years since the Emperor Shizong had been in the world. " You can also seal his wife as a wife. As for whether he wants to seal the jue, you can see what his Majesty thinks. "Then take this purpose." "Yes, His Majesty." Lu Cheng didn't know how much the silver he gave to Wei Zhongxian in exchange for him. When the news of Liaodong's recovery of Weining Fort, Qinghe Fort, Fushun and other places was reported back to the capital, the imperial court's decree to reward Lu Cheng also reached Liaodong.

When Lu Cheng heard the series of rewards in the imperial edict, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect the court to be so generous this time. It seems that giving gifts to Wei Zhongxian was really the right thing to do, and the return rate was quite good.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng gave the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict a big red envelope, and prepared another generous gift, and asked someone to send it to the capital to give it to Wei Zhongxian.

Logically speaking, with such a large reward this time, Lu Cheng should go to the capital in person to meet Emperor Tianqi to thank him, but Emperor Tianqi was busy with carpentry work every day and was too lazy to meet him.

What's more, a new war may break out in Liaodong at any time, and Lu Cheng should not leave Liaodong.

After sending away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, Ding Baiying and Zhang Yan looked at the series of rewards in the imperial edict with some curiosity, and asked Lu Cheng to explain it to them.

In fact, among this series of awards, Lu Cheng valued the General of Ping Liao and the Left Commander the most.

If it was just a general, it would be equivalent to a military commander. There were many generals in Liaodong, not just Lu Cheng.

But adding Ping Liao in front of it made Lu Cheng one level higher in priority than other generals.

As for the Left Commander, it was the end point of the struggle of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to the five-star general of the United States.

The General of Ping Liao plus the Left Commander made Lu Cheng the most important general in Liaodong.

In the circle, he has already stood at the top.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty ruled the military with civil power, and Lu Cheng's priority was still below Sun Chengzong.

As for the other rewards, the hereditary title of Jinyi Jianshi can be passed on to his son, and the first-rank lady was given to Ding Baiying. The title of Dongping Bo can also be passed on to future generations.

After hearing this, Ding Baiying didn't take it too seriously. Zhang Yan was still somewhat envious in her heart. That was the legendary first-rank imperial lady, who could wear imperial clothes and be summoned by the queen.

But Zhang Yan also knew that Ding Baiying had helped Lu Cheng a lot, and several apprentices were working under Lu Cheng, so this imperial lady was also justified.

Ding Baiying seemed to see Zhang Yan's thoughts, and smiled and pulled Zhang Yan's hand: "What's the big deal about being a lady or not? If you want it, I'll give it to you."

"What are you talking about, sister? These are what you deserve. I'll only be happy for you."

Ding Baiying pulled Zhang Yan's hand and handed it to Lu Cheng: "Husband, I'm old and have wanted a child for a long time. You should take action."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan's pretty face flushed: "Sister~" Then she looked at Lu Cheng, her eyes full of expectation.

"No problem, let's go in now..."

"Husband, it's still broad daylight..."

"Who cares about day or night? I'm free anyway. Come on, you too..."

As he said this, Lu Cheng held one in each hand, hugged her left and right, and enjoyed the blessing of having two wives.

The first snow of this year finally fell. Some people sat quietly in front of the window, watching the snow flying all over the sky. Some people walked outside and let the snowflakes fall on their palms.

Some people closed their doors and walked in the snow to look for plum blossoms...

In the winter of the fourth year of Tianqi, the whole Liaodong was very peaceful. Jiannu did not start a war again, and Huang Taiji, who had just ascended to the throne, was also stabilizing the imperial power.

Lu Cheng was able to relax for a while. In addition to handling necessary work every day, he stayed at home with his wife and children.

But not long after, Ding Baiying and Zhang Yan both became pregnant, and Lu Cheng lost another important entertainment activity.

Not long after, a group of people who had been sent to the capital returned and successfully brought back various shipbuilding technologies of the Ming Dynasty, and even brought back some craftsmen.

Later, Lu Cheng ordered people to copy all the information several times, and send one copy to the south, so that the expeditionary force could choose a suitable port in the Philippines and other places to build a shipyard.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also chose a suitable location on the Korean Peninsula, sent some craftsmen, recruited local people, and built ships.

Of course, a shipyard was also established between Jinzhouwei and Changhai County, specializing in building large ships that can be used for ocean voyages.

Lu Cheng also moved several steam engines to prepare for the construction of steamships.

Today, southern Liaoning is thriving everywhere. There are some talented people under his command, and young people who have been trained in welfare institutions are going to various positions. There is no shortage of talents for the time being.

Lu Cheng is also much freer. He only needs to do a good job of coordination and grasp the general direction, and then he can leave everything to his subordinates.

After being free, Lu Cheng asked the special operations brigade to cooperate with the reconnaissance brigade to sneak attack the tribes of the Later Jin on the grassland in winter, kill adult men, capture women and children as slaves, and send them to various workshops and factories in Liaodong to do hard labor.

With new rifles and revolvers, the special operations brigade is more convenient to move, and it is entirely possible to create great achievements with a small team.

Not only that, Lu Cheng also asked Ding Xiu to lead the cavalry troops to the north of the grassland, cooperate with the Khalkha tribe, and sneak attack the Khorchin tribe and Chahar tribe that turned to the Later Jin, and completely block the Jurchens in Jianzhou.

All the troops adopted flexible guerrilla warfare, relying on their equipment advantages to constantly harass the Later Jin army, kill the Later Jin's manpower, and compress the Later Jin's living space.

After a winter, Huang Taiji was annoyed, and the Khan position, which was not stable to begin with, was also in great crisis.

In the end, Huang Taiji had to order the various tribes to unite to form a defense to deal with the harassment and sneak attacks of the Liaodong troops. But in this way, the consumption of resources will also increase, and the Jiannu will be destined to have a hard winter...
