At this moment, a sonorous sound came from outside the hall. Zhang Liao walked in with a thick pile of records. He bowed to Wang Cheng and said,
"My lord, we have already calculated the final results.”
Wang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Now that the civil and military officials were all present, he could make a plan for the future in advance.
"Read it."
"In this battle, 28,143 of our soldiers died, 45,620 were heavily injured, and 72,196 were lightly injured. The three million stones of supplies were enough to last the army for two years.”
Wang Cheng didn't comment. This was within his expectations. This was Li Zicheng's lair, so the supplies were definitely abundant.
However, if he wanted to solve the problem of supplies in the long run, he still needed to open up a suitable logistics base.
Jia Xu and the others at the side had been listening attentively. Clearly, they had already entered their own identities.
Zhang Liao continued," In this battle, more than 45,000 enemies were killed, more than 63,000 were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured. More than 72,000 enemies were captured. At this moment, they are all guarded in the barracks of Chang 'an Fortress.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao took the initiative to stand among the generals on the left, behind Han Xin and Ran Min.
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng walked down from his dragon throne. His armor clanged with his movements. Everyone in the hall held their breaths and stared at Wang Cheng.
"Now that I have more than 200,000 troops, I can look down on the entire Ming Dynasty. However, this world is not just limited to the Great Ming Dynasty. There is an even more vast land outside the Great Ming Dynasty that is waiting for us to conquer.”
" But so far, the supply of rations has limited my scale. Even plundering cannot meet our needs, so I need a stable logistics base. I need a rear that will not hinder me.”
"In this way, we can rely on Great Ming as a springboard to swallow the sea, sweep across the world, and create eternal peace!”
Wang Cheng looked at everyone with a burning gaze. It was as if an endless flame had flashed in his eyes, completely igniting the desire in everyone's hearts.
The blood in his body was boiling, and his heart was beating rapidly like a war drum.
Hearing this, everyone present felt their hearts heat up. They all bowed to Wang Cheng with their blood boiling.
"To share the Lord's worries!"
The voices of dozens of people echoed in the hall. Everyone's face was red. They were all dragons and phoenixes among men and had great ambitions in their hearts.
However, no matter how great an ambition was, how could it compare to the ambition to annex the entire world?
Jia Xu took the initiative to step forward and said,"
"If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer Great Ming. Now that the Ming Dynasty is facing internal and external problems, it is the best time for the lord to rise. As long as the operation is done properly, he will definitely be able to swallow the entire Ming Dynasty within a year and then look at the entire East like a tiger.”
"Jia Xu is not talented, but he is willing to help my lord to open up wasteland so that my lord can gather three million soldiers.”
"With three million soldiers, it's enough for my lord to dominate the east!”
Jia Xu's words not only made Wang Cheng's blood boil, his eyes shining brightly, even the other civil officials and generals at the side gritted their teeth, unable to control their excitement.
If he could really do that, he would definitely be able to bring peace to China for eternity.
And they were all witnesses and witnesses.
Wang Cheng grabbed Jia Xu's hands and suddenly said,"
"Alright, I have Wen He. I can block a million soldiers alone!”
After saying that, Wang Cheng looked at the others. His gaze seemed to have passed the people in front of him and saw the Ming Dynasty outside, the entire world.
……
Beijing.
Ever since the news of Chongzhen's decree that the army of the world's king would join forces with Wang Cheng to attack Xi'an, the news of the hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground of the Ming Dynasty rising again was like a shot in the arm that made all ordinary people see the hope of the Ming Dynasty's revival.
The streets and alleys were filled with discussions as long as there were people.
"How long will it take for Great General to completely destroy Great Shun?”
"After destroying Great Shun, the world will be peaceful in the blink of an eye. I hope that the coming year will be a good one.”
"Without these bandits, the Imperial Court's support will be reduced, and our days will indeed be better.”
"If the Great General returns to court, wouldn't the Emperor be conferred the title of Marquis?”
“……”
Countless rumors were spreading on the streets, but everyone had gradually forgotten the fear they had in their hearts.
At this moment, a fast horse came from Yongding Gate, breaking the silence of the capital.
"Great victory in Chang 'an! A great victory in Chang 'an!"
"General, with 200,000 troops, you broke through Chang 'an City in one day.”
This news was like a clap of thunder that struck the capital, and countless people only reacted when they saw the horses charging into the Imperial Palace.
Boom! The entire capital was in an uproar.
"An army of 200,000 soldiers broke through the city in a day?"
"Hiss, Great General is truly a god.”
"Alright, alright, good days are coming.”
“……”
Countless people spread the news of Li Zicheng's demise and waited for the Emperor's reward announcement. However, when this news entered the Imperial Palace, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no news.
Instantly, some people with keen senses noticed the undercurrent under the calm...
