The Battle of Miluo River was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

Previously, the Qing army was able to maintain an offensive posture on multiple battlefields at the same time and had enough strength to control the overall situation. This victory indicates that the Qing army was already unable to deal with multiple battlefields at the same time and was beginning to lose all its strength.

Now that strength is increasing and declining, the Ming Dynasty emerged from the danger of national destruction, it was no longer possible for the Qing court to unify the world.

Moreover, this victory also indicates that the Anti-Qing War is no longer a one-man show by the Zhejiang clan, and the Ming army in various places will gradually emerge and become a confidant of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, this battle was to share the pressure of the Zhejiang regime and also showed the Qing army the surface integrity and unity of the Ming Dynasty.

Previously, the Zhejiang army rescued Huguang several times. This time, the Zhejiang army was attacked by the main force of the Qing army. The Ming army in Huguang took action and defeated the Qing army in Huguang, which would definitely make the Qing Dynasty no longer dare to attack any side easily.

If the Zhejiang faction and the Longwu court could cooperate with each other and make the Qing army lose sight of each other, then it would be just around the corner to drive the Qing Dynasty completely back outside the pass, at least to draw a river and govern the river.

In the Battle of Miluo River, the Ming army defeated 50,000 Qing troops, and beheaded more than 10,000 people on the north bank of Miluo River. Then they chased and killed them all the way. They won all nine battles, and beheaded more than 10,000 more, capturing more than 20,000 soldiers from the Green Camp. The Qing army was buried for more than 50 miles, and only senior Qing generals such as Haoge and Oboi led some cavalry to break out.

Ming generals Hao Yaoqi, Chen Youlong, Jiao Lian chased and killed them all the way. Haoge and Obai tried to collect defeated troops several times, but were defeated by the Ming army. The Ming army took one to ten and pursued them closely, which made the Qing army soldiers without fighting spirit.

Haoge fled to Nanlujiao Town in Yuezhou and escaped from the pursuit of the Ming army. He counted the troops, and only 6,000 left in the 50,000 troops. He couldn't help but feel sad for a moment.

Earlier, Dorgon's faction suffered a defeat, and even Dodor died of depression because of the defeat in Fujian, which made Haoge often laugh at Dorgon's faction and attacked Dorgon.

Now he was really unhappy in retribution. He himself suffered a defeat, and Haoge was thin-skinned. When he thought that Dorgon and others would inevitably ridicule him, he was embarrassed and angry and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. Fortunately, he was stopped by Oboi.

Haoge naturally would not really commit suicide. He just suffered a defeat and found a way out. Someone stopped him and held a stalemate to show that he was shameless. If he lost the battle, he would have to apologize himself. But his subordinates stopped him and could only leave a useful body and avenge his previous shame in the future.

Since you fail to die, you have to continue running for your life.

At this time, there were still thousands of defenders in Yuezhou City, but Haoge was afraid that he would be surrounded by Yuezhou, and he knew that the elite Qing army in Huguang were all drawn by him and had been reimbursed.

This means that if he was surrounded by Yuezhou, there would be no soldiers in Hubei who would come to rescue him. He had to wait for reinforcements to be dispatched from Henan and Jiangxi. When the reinforcements arrived, he might have been beaten to death by 200,000 Ming troops.

If so, he would become the first prince to be beaten to death by a barbarian. It would be a laughing stock, making the world laugh and the name of others.

In this battle, the Ming army's bravery made Haoge feel scared, making him unconfident and stood firm in Yuezhou to come to reinforcements.

Therefore, Haoge and Oboi did not dare to enter Yuezhou City, so they walked around the city north and went straight to Wuchang.

In Yuezhou City, Ma Jiaolin, the general of the army, was about to take over Haoge, but when Haoge was defeated, he led the defeated general, but he fled east without saying hello. He couldn't help but be stunned and extremely shocked.

Ma Jiaolin hurriedly ordered people to inquire, and soon he learned about the battle in Miluo River. When he heard that 200,000 Ming troops were behind, he was shocked and immediately led his troops to go east in a hurry, chasing Haoge's footsteps and fled to Wuchang.

At this time, the Ming army's vanguards ran for two days, chasing them all the way, chasing them relentlessly, and killing them to the city of Yuezhou.

Yuezhou is the gateway to Changsha and is also a prison gate that locked the north of the Ming army in Hunan. The Ming army and the Qing army fought in Yuezhou many times, and the city changed hands several times.

Last year, when the Qing army went south to attack Changsha, Yuezhou was captured by the Qing army. After the city was destroyed, the defenders and the people were massacred by the Qing army.

Now, the Ming army has come back, but the city is already an empty city.

The three generals of Hao Yaoqi chased and killed them all the way, and at this time they were trapped and were short of horses, so they stopped in Yuezhou City.

Two days later, Du Yinxi led a large army to Yuezhou in a mighty manner and temporarily set up camp inside and outside the city.

The strategic location of Yuezhou City is very important, it is the barrier of Changsha and an outpost to attack Wuchang.

After Du Yinxi rushed to Yuezhou, he seemed very anxious and immediately mobilized his troops and prepared to lead the entire army to Wuchang. However, the army advanced rapidly and the food and supplies were insufficient, so it would take several days to transport it.

Seeing this, Du Yinxi had to retreat and seek second best, and ordered Li Guo and Li Laiheng to be the vanguard to attack Hubei and open the way for the army.

At this time, Haoge was defeated and knew that the Ming army would inevitably invade Wuchang. After rushing back to Wuchang, he immediately ordered the troops of various prefectures and counties to shrink towards Wuchang and prepare to defend the city. Therefore, Li Guo and Li Laiheng led the vanguard into Hubei and almost never encountered any resistance. Linxiang, Tongcheng, Xianning, Jiayu and other counties surrendered.

Du Yinxi was in Yuezhou City, waiting for the food and grass to come, so he prepared to gather all his troops and run to Wuchang. However, before the food arrived, Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian rushed to Yuezhou under the escort of more than 300 cavalry.

A few days ago, Du Yinxi wrote a memorial, truthfully reported to the court for the mutiny and seizing power, and asked the emperor for punishment, so he led a large army north to collect Yuezhou.

After arriving in Yuezhou, Du Yinxi ordered people to strengthen the city defense, recover Hubei prefectures and counties, and consolidate the results of the battle. While waiting for the Jinyiwei Tiqi to come to pick up people, he did not expect that Emperor Longwu would be the one who came.

Outside Yuezhou City, Du Yinxi led a group of generals to welcome the stewards ten miles outside the city, but the soldiers all had stern faces and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Hundreds of cavalry galloped in the distance, and the first one was Zhu Youjian wearing golden armor. He did not bring his ceremonial guards and ministers, so he hurried over.

At this time, the cavalry rushed to everyone. Zhu Youjian held the reins of the horse, and Du Yinxi hurried forward and knelt down and saluted, "Sinner, welcome Your Majesty!"

Zhu Lujian turned over and dismounted, walked to Du Yinxi, and helped Du Yinxi up with both hands, smiling, "I already know the matter. Your family has turned the tide and defeated the slave chief Haoge, what is the crime? I am not a foolish king, and I am in a hurry to follow power. The matter is not only innocent, but has made merits. I have decided to give the Qing family the Young Tutor to the cabinet!" As he said that, Zhu Youjian looked at the many soldiers and said loudly: "I will also reward the generals who have made meritorious in this battle!"

When many Ming soldiers heard the words, they were overjoyed and knelt down to salute, cheering: "Your Majesty's wise!"

At this moment, everyone led Zhu Youtian into the city and Du Yinxi reported the current situation. Zhu Youjian said that this battle was commanded by the Qing family.

That night, He Tengjiao came to ask for a meeting in the temporary palace. Zhu Youjian stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "I trust you so much, but this time my family really disappointed me. You don't need to mention this matter anymore. Go back to Changsha to prepare money and food for me!"
