Valley Emperor

In the battle of Anping Town, the last 100,000 main force of the Ming army in the north was completely defeated by the Tang Wangshi, and more than 50,000 Tatar cavalry lost more than 10,000 and fled in embarrassment. It is the Tartar cavalry that can stop the pace of the King of the Tang Dynasty!

Even now there are still many remnant Ming forces in other places. For example, Zhang Yue still has more than 100,000 troops in Huguang, Sichuan, and Yunnan, and in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places are still under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

but!

Today's battle is still enough to declare the Tang Dynasty's sole dominion over the land of China!

So Li Xuan is in a very good mood. If it wasn't for the palace dance troupe he didn't bring when he went to the north, I'm afraid he would have to guide the dance troupe members all night tonight.

But even if there are some small regrets, it does not affect Li Xuan's good mood at all!

In the follow-up pursuit operations, Li Xuan has already directly let go of many generals, and he himself is waiting for the good news of the generals with peace of mind!

On that day, the Datang Army in the north was still very busy. The troops of the Third Army and the Fourth Army continued to pursue the fleeing Ming Army. Although the hundreds of thousands of Ming Army had suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield, the fleeing Ming Army had suffered heavy casualties. The army still has tens of thousands, and it is naturally impossible for the Datang Army to sit back and watch them escape and get back on their feet!

When chasing, there are also choices. Those who retreat in an organized way, the large-scale Ming army are the priority targets, but if the Ming army is scattered, the Datang army will turn a blind eye. After all, the strength is limited. It is impossible to capture all the fleeing Ming troops.

But in the two-day pursuit battle, the results are still rich!

Three days later, Li Xuan, who was still in Anping Town, received a summary report from the Privy Council. This time, the Anping Town battle, the decisive battle that day and the follow-up pursuit battle combined, killed more than 20,000 Ming troops and captured more than 70,000 people. The ten thousand Ming army fled faster, got rid of the pursuit, and fled all the way towards Beizhili, while the remaining tens of thousands of Ming army ran around and became a veritable straggler.

It is worth mentioning that they also killed about 4,000 Tatar cavalry and captured nearly 3,000!

In addition, there is a more critical point. They have captured tens of thousands of military horses from the Ming army and the Tatars!

Of these, about 3,000 were riding horses, and there were more than 8,000 lesser draft horses.

Although they also seized tens of thousands of arquebuses and tens of thousands of various cold weapons, these seizures were nothing compared to tens of thousands of horses.

Perhaps for other armies, the value of muskets and artillery is higher, but for the current King of the Tang Dynasty, the value of war horses is higher.

Today, the production of guns in the Tang Dynasty is quite large, and more importantly, the king of the Tang Dynasty has begun to change his flintlock guns. The effect of these captured arquebuses is not so great, let alone explain. The caliber of the army's muskets is not uniform, and the quality is also uneven.

Of course, in a short period of time, these muskets and artillery can still be used!

At least, the arquebus and artillery lost by the Datang Army in this battle can be replenished from the spoils on the spot.

The lack of horses in the Tang Dynasty is a long-standing problem. Basically, the horses used were all captured from the Ming army before, and now a Tatar has been added.

These 3,000 war horses, plus the 3,000 war horses captured in the Liangshanji Battle, were enough to increase the Datang cavalry by several thousand more!

When Li Xuan was still in Anping Town, the news of the great victory in Anping Town was also quickly spread to Jiangnan and other southern provinces through the military post!

The news of the victory in Anping Town has a great impact. Naturally, Li Xuan will not hide it, and must publicize it as soon as possible. This is not to satisfy his vanity to win the victory in person, but for political service.

The victory of Anping Town basically established the overall situation of China in the future. In the future, when gentry and other ambitious people who were still opposed to the Tang Dynasty, made irrational behaviors, such as armed resistance to taxes, Rebellion and the like, you have to think carefully about whether you can succeed or not, and what the consequences will be.

The good news went south quickly, and within a few days, Jinling City received the news. The officials who stayed behind, headed by Liu Bagou, and the Empress Dowager Bai in the palace were all ecstatic about the result!

Personal thoughts are different. Some people think that they finally don't have to worry about the Ming army counterattack and kill Jiangnan!

Some people think that in the future, this glory and wealth can finally be determined!

The people from the Ministry of Rites and the Chaobao Division worked overtime all night, and issued a special report for this time, specifically reporting the Anping Victory, and the reports of the Tang Chaobao have always been not only about war, but will analyze various influences from various aspects. .

To put it bluntly, in addition to reporting the great victory of Anping, the more important thing is to publicize how awesome the Master of the Tang Dynasty is, and how awesome is Li Xuan, the sage of all ages!

As a result, I worked overtime and worked all night to confirm the issue, and sent the sample magazine to the whole world through the post system. And Jinling, as the place at the foot of the emperor, can naturally be printed at the first time, and then published directly.

So, in the afternoon of the next day, in Jinling City, a thin, barefooted boy with many patches on his body, about eleven or twelve years old, was carrying a large satchel full of newspapers and still in his hand. Yang took a share and shouted in a tender voice: "Outside the number! Outside the number! Great victory in Anping!"

Outside the sentence, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians!

Many of them have become accustomed to this kind of newsboy who sells newspapers. Datang Chaobao has been published for many years, and a perfect distribution system has been established one after another. , and developed distribution models such as fixed-point delivery, street newsboy sales, and store sales.

After the newspaper is printed and delivered to a certain city, the deliverer will deliver the newspaper directly to the homes or institutions of the people who subscribe to the Datang Chaobao. Such subscriptions are generally ordered on a yearly basis. The cost of delivering the newspaper is not low. Generally, only decent people or various institutions will order the newspaper. Ordinary people usually go to teahouses and other places to listen to the newspaper. Well, they can't understand it anyway.

On the other hand, selling in street shops is similar to buying other things!

As for the newsboys, it is another feature. They hawk them along the street and earn a meager reward!

They don't feel strange about the newsboys on the street, but they do feel strange about the outsiders, because Datang Chaobao rarely publishes outsiders, and there are usually important matters. It doesn't happen once a year.

Now, there is an outlier!

And the word "Great Victory" is followed by it. Could it be that the army going north won the battle?

Immediately, several people walked towards the newsboy. The first one to come was a middle-aged man in a robe. At first glance, he knew that he should be a decent person with a small fortune.

I saw that after he came over, he directly took out a copper coin with a slightly larger shape than the previous copper coins. This is one of the auxiliary coins issued by Datang. The copper coin worth five coins contains more copper than one or two coins. The larger ones are printed in batches by machine and have exquisite patterns on them.

"Here's a newspaper!" After the decent middle-aged man handed over the copper coin, he directly took the outsider from the report!

When you hold the newspaper in your hand, you can still smell the ink on it, and it has not been ironed. Although the ink on it is dry, it will stick to your hand if you hold it in your hand. If your hand is wet When I read the newspaper, I was completely black when I read it.

No way, the current printing technology is such scum!

When this person picked it up and kept flipping through it, in a three-entry mansion with Chen’s house in the urban area of ​​Jinling City, the newspaper deliverer also delivered the newspaper to this family. It was received.

After the servant brought the newspaper in, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager saw it and immediately asked, "What's going on with this morning paper? Isn't it the day of delivery in two days?"

The servant immediately said, "Go back to Director Zhao, did the sender say this is an extra account issued today?"

"Oh?" Manager Zhao took a brief look at the newspaper, then took a deep breath and said, "No wonder the number has been issued, it's a big deal, hurry up and iron the newspaper, and I'll send it to the master immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Zhao suddenly said: "Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

As he said that, he just spread out the newspaper, and then let someone else pour hot water into the iron and started ironing it!

At this moment, a little girl who was farther away showed a suspicious look and asked a cook next to her: "Why does this newspaper still need to be ironed? Can't you just read it directly? I see people outside who read it directly!"

At this moment, the cook next to him said, "If you don't iron, do you want the master to get a hand of ink while reading the newspaper?"

"Our master is a high-ranking official in the tax department. Can we be the same as the idlers outside?"

"What are you still doing, don't hurry up and deliver the snacks to the lady, let the lady wait for a long time, but there is no good fruit to eat!"

When the little girl heard this~www.wuxiaspot.com~, she cocked her lips, but she obediently took the tray and went out!

Manager Zhao carefully ironed the newspaper page by page, then folded it, and put it in a tray. This is the only way to go out with the tray and the newspaper. After turning around many corridors, he is the only one. He stopped in front of a door, then knocked on the door, and said softly, "Master!"

At this moment, a voice came from inside the house: "Is it Uncle Fu, come in?"

Only then did Zhao Fu push the door open, and then walked in across the threshold. Without waiting for the people in the room to ask questions, he just said, "Master, is there a morning newspaper delivered today?"

"Outside the number?" At this time, the people inside stood up from the desk. It was because of the recent pride in the officialdom, a man of high interest in the inspection office of the Grain Collection Department of the Ministry of Taxation, known as Chen Lifu, a rookie official in the Ministry of Taxation system.
