Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 286
The government posted a notice in advance, drawing out a route for the prisoner offering ceremony.Of course, the highlight is the Meridian Gate Square.

Naturally, civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles will be present.

As for foreigners, in the troubled times of Chongzhen for 15 years, there are really not many people.Temporarily collected, it is a few North Korean officials, Ryukyu people and Frangji people.

Among them, North Korea has actually surrendered to Jianlu, and broke away from the relationship with Daming as a vassal state.However, there were Ming faction among them, besides those who were captured by Jianlu, there were also a few who fled to Daming, who were invited to attend the prisoner offering ceremony.

As for the Ryukyu people, they were not officials, but stayed in Daming when Chongzhen came to Daming to ask Emperor Chongzhen to be crowned king in the second year of Chongzhen.

For the Ryukyu people, the country has actually been conquered by the Satsuma clan of the Japanese country. Although it is still independent in name, it has been oppressed by the Japanese people, and naturally some people do not want to return to the country.

This time, it was taken as the representative of the Ryukyu country.

As for Frangji, the relationship with Daming is not bad, at least in the past, as long as Daming gave money to firearms and cannons, they would sell them, and even many Frangji became Daming's mercenaries, but many people died During the Dunley Mutiny.

As for other countries, that is really gone!
Emperor Chongzhen yearned for all nations to come to the dynasty. In the 15 years of Chongzhen, there were only three countries!

In addition, on the Meridian Gate Square, many viewing areas have been designated, set up according to provinces.

Anyway, there are guild halls from various provinces in the capital, even if there are no individual provinces, as long as they are from that province, a group of people will be brought over.

Meridian Gate Square is also considered big, but now, the surrounding area is full of people.

According to the past, many people are not qualified to come to the Meridian Gate, but now, they all participate, and naturally everyone is very happy.

No, the climate at the end of this year is really cold.However, those who were able to be ranked at the Meridian Gate were all very excited. Before the ceremony started, everyone was whispering, discussing the prisoner offering ceremony that was obviously different from the past.

And those who didn't have their turn at the Meridian Gate rushed to the streets marked in the notice.Rich people occupy the windows facing the street, not only can they eat something, but they can also take shelter from the wind and cold; those without money stand on both sides of the street, waiting to watch the excitement.

Early in the morning, the streets were full of people.It was a rare occasion, many people came early, as soon as the curfew was lifted.

They were all behind the soldiers of Wucheng Bing Masi, whispering to each other, talking about what the prisoner offering would be like this time.

The rising of winter has somewhat dispelled some of the severe cold.

I don't know when, someone suddenly shouted: "Here, here, look!"

As a result, the crowd who were whispering all stopped their voices immediately and turned their heads to look.

Sure enough, on the other side of the street, groups of soldiers from the Ming army appeared.

But when they were a little surprised, all the soldiers of the Ming army they saw were holding up flags. From this point of view, they were not the flags of the imperial court.

This made them a little confused, and they stretched their necks curiously to watch.

Some illiterate people hurriedly asked the literate people around them, wondering what kind of flag that was?
"Quickly think about it, what's on that flag?"

"It's a bit strange. I saw it, why isn't it written by our Daming?"

"That's right, that's Jianlu's Manchu script. What does it mean? Isn't this the imperial court army?"

"..."

Amidst their discussions, there was still a line of Chinese characters on the banner embroidered with Manchu, and those who could read read it out.

"The Great Qing was ordered by the General, Doro Rao Yu Baylor..."

"Hey, this is the commander-in-chief's flag!" Hearing the voice read out, someone who understood immediately shouted in surprise, "Haha, we captured it. That's right, these flags were all captured by the imperial court. It was seized by the officers and soldiers!"

After shouting like this, everyone understood that the flags held by the court officers and soldiers walking in the front were all the flags of captured self-built captives.

Therefore, each of them was very interested in distinguishing which building these flags belonged to.Every time I figure out what a flag represents, I burst out laughing, very happy.

There is no other reason, because they all know that behind each captured flag, it represents the enemy of this flag, who has been killed or captured, or beaten to the ground, so this flag is in the imperial court. In the hands of the officers and soldiers.

Most of these flags are covered with dirt and even bloodstains. One can tell at a glance that it cannot be embroidered by the imperial court in private.Because, they had seen the tens of thousands of captives the day before yesterday.

After walking for a while, the court officers holding the captured flags were considered to have finished.

Then, I saw a cavalry army, riding tall horses, ten riders abreast, coming majestically.The soldiers on horseback held their heads high and held their chests high, all of them in a majestic manner.

The one who walked in the front was a general, and the banner behind him was embroidered with a big "Yan" character.

Seeing this, the people immediately screamed.

"This is General Yan who captured Jianlu's coach alive. This is a capture..."

The specific situation of the Battle of Jizhou may not be known to many people at this time.However, Yan Yingyuan, who captured Jianlu's coach alive, must have been found out by people.

Therefore, when they saw Yan Yingyuan's banner at this time, the people in the capital exclaimed.

This is a great contribution, capturing the coach Jianlu alive!It's really amazing!
"You don't know, General Yan is from Tongzhou!"

"I heard that General Yan is a sharpshooter, with one arrow at a time, the commander of Jianlu was so frightened that he couldn't resist anymore, so he knelt down and surrendered!"

"..."

The gossip about Yan Yingyuan spread quickly.

Yan Yingyuan heard the exclamation of the people on both sides, and heard their cheers for him. He responded with a smile on his face and clasped his fists.

When the people in the capital saw them, they all clasped their fists in return, all smiling and very happy.

Yan Yingyuan passed by, looking at the cavalry soldiers behind him, they did not hesitate to praise him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, this is the real mighty teacher!"

"That's right, it's no wonder that he was able to defeat Jianlu, it looks very powerful at first glance!"

"..."

When the cavalry officers and soldiers heard it, they all held their heads high, their waists straight, and they clasped their fists to return the salute to the people in the capital on both sides.

Afterwards, there were teams of soldiers from the Ming army, including chariot camps, flintlock pikemen, pikemen, etc. There were many phalanxes, with a total of more than [-] soldiers, all of whom were selected from each army with the most military merit. Only a group of people are qualified to go to the city to praise their merits.

At the back of the team were groups of captives with their hands tied behind their backs.

Of course, like the soldiers of the Ming army, not all the captives were escorted into the city.It is the captives who have official positions.The specific name and position are all written on the plaque on the head.

For example, those who were escorted to the front had written on it, "The rebels are falsely ordered by the general, Doro Rao Yubeile Aixinjueluo Abatai".

Seeing these captives, the elated expressions of the people in the capital immediately turned to anger, and they immediately scolded these captives.

Killing a thousand swords, giving birth to a son without an asshole, etc., are all scolded lightly.Even many people in the capital couldn't scold enough, and wanted to rush up and beat them.It is also thanks to the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi maintaining order, and the Ming army escorting them, otherwise, it is estimated that these prisoners would not be able to reach the Meridian Gate!
These radical actions of the people on both sides did not attract criticism.Because the soldiers who maintained order knew that these Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars had blood debts from the people of the capital.

Every time they entered the Kou Pass, it is unknown how many wives and children were scattered and their families were destroyed.It can be said that the people in the capital, even if they hid in the capital, were more or less tortured by Jianlu, and their relatives and friends died at the hands of Jianlu.

At the end of the team is the coach this time, Sun Chuanting, Minister of the Ministry of War.

When they saw him appear, many people still shed two lines of tears, but they knelt down to Sun Chuanting excitedly one by one.

It was Sun Chuanting who defeated the Jianlu, saved another life in the pass, and captured so many Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars, which can be regarded as revenge for them.

In this regard, Sun Chuanting remained expressionless and did not return the salute, but just passed by on horseback.

All the teams stopped on Chang'an Avenue before entering the Meridian Gate Square, waiting for the official start of the prisoner offering ceremony.

After all the teams were in place, the sound of "bang bang bang" sounded.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was ready, rode to the Meridian Gate Tower in military uniform.

The continuous sound of gunfire stopped, and the Chief Assistant He Fengsheng stepped forward to ask for an order. Emperor Chongzhen nodded and the ceremony began.

"Dangdangdangdang" the bell from the Bell and Drum Tower rang, and everyone stood up in awe, turning their heads to look eastward at Chang'an Avenue.

After hearing the bell, the soldiers of the Ming army at the front of the line all held their heads high and began to enter Chang'an Avenue.

When they arrived at the place closest to Emperor Chongzhen, the soldiers of the Ming army at the front faced Emperor Chongzhen, shouted the flag in their hands, and then threw it on the ground.

The soldiers of the Ming army at the back, like the ones in front, also threw their flags on the ground after shouting loudly.

Not long after, this area was filled with captured flags, some from the Jiankui and some from the Mongol Tartars.Each flag represents a defeated army.

All the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and nobles, and the people watching the ceremony from all provinces couldn't help but click their tongues secretly when they looked at the banners.

When did Ming Dynasty capture so many enemy flags?
Today's imperial army has become so powerful?
Thinking of this, they naturally wanted to see how strong the imperial army had become, and how could they achieve such a great victory?
Soon, as they wished, various cavalry phalanxes, all kinds of infantry phalanxes, including special arms such as car camps and artillery, and even the phalanxes that do not close at night, began to pass by the Meridian Gate Building one by one.
