Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 315 The Son of Heaven 5
Although Yang Menglong scorned the criteria for judging victory in the Ming Dynasty, the common people didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it. Like a tsunami, the Anding Gate was almost overturned.Xu Guangqi, Minister of Rites, made a gesture while the iron was hot.Soon, there was a loud bell in the distance, followed by the beating of war drums, rumbling like rolling thunder, overwhelming the cheers of the audience—the victory ceremony officially began.

The first to play were the more than 500 captives.These prisoners were all captured by the Ming army on the Dalinghe battlefield, and they are important witnesses of the "victory" of the Ming army.These captives were not abused after they were captured, and they were able to eat enough and wear warm clothes, but if you think that the Ming army is so kind, you can only say that you are too naive: these captives were escorted to Beijing Afterwards, he was either executed by Ling Chi, or castrated as a eunuch!Many people think that the Chinese dynasties have only respected Confucianism and treated the enemy too generously. Those who hold this view should first go to the history teacher to get [-] boards. In fact, the Chinese dynasties are not polite to the losers , or be assimilated, or be slaughtered to death. Sending captured captives to the palace as slaves is a practice that has been used for thousands of years. Or do you really think that such a vast territory of China is given away for phone bills?Now this group of unlucky prisoners with their arms tied behind their backs, unkempt, tremblingly walked towards Andingmen under the escort of the Ming army.They were very lucky to be the first batch of post-Jin soldiers to enter Beijing, but unfortunately this "honor" was not what they wanted.As soon as these guys showed up, curses and ridicule poured over them, especially those post-golden warriors with money rattail braids, who were masters of hatred. Many ordinary people screamed and wanted to push away The officers and soldiers who maintained order rushed to tear them apart.In the war of breaking mouths, Hou Jin raged in the capital for several months. The killings were useless. Many children and relatives of the people present were killed by their butcher knives.

The officers and soldiers are under great pressure, and the common people are too crazy, they simply can't stop it!Fortunately, some people who had seen a little bit of the world did not lose their minds, persuaded the people next to them, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, calm down! These gangs of slaves and Tartars have already become subordinates. When they come to comfort the Taimiao, they will either be killed. Putting them to death by Ling Chi, or becoming eunuchs, and letting them suffer this piecemeal suffering, wouldn't it be better than killing them with a single punch?" After being shouted at by them, the common people finally calmed down a little, but their hands and feet were still dishonest, and their stones stink. Eggs and other things rained down on those prisoners. Without exception, more than 500 prisoners of war were either injured all over their bodies or covered with eggshells, and the smell was unbearable.It's not hard to imagine how terrified these prisoners of war were. They never dreamed that those ordinary people who usually looked cowardly and honest would be so violent once they were furious. If the officers and soldiers didn't stop them, they would definitely be torn to pieces!It's a pity that it was too late to regret it. They were escorted to the Anding Gate, knelt down under the persuasion of swords and guns, and then they were scolded bloody by citing scriptures and scriptures from a condescending eloquence. He kowtowed several times towards Chongzhen until his forehead bled, and then he was escorted into the inner city.They will be stuffed into an office cart and circle the imperial city for a week. Then, the Jurchen warriors will be sent to Xuanwumen to be beheaded, and the Mongolian soldiers will be sent to the silkworm house for castration. As for how many survive, it depends on their luck.

Hundreds of prisoners completely stirred up the atmosphere, and the common people were in a state of excitement. At this time, a cry of "Ten Thousand Victories" resounded through the sky, and Guan Ning's army made a brilliant appearance.There are a total of two thousand Guan Ning troops. The horses are shiny, tall and strong, with hoofs and saddles inlaid with gold and silver. The knights on the horses are wearing iron armor. The blades of the armor are as bright as mirrors. The armor is dazzling. Let’s not mention the defensive ability. It’s just this momentum. That's scary enough.The crowd cheered: "Guan Ning Army! It's the Guan Ning Army!" Their feelings towards the Guan Ning Army were quite complicated. On the one hand, the Guan Ning Army was the number one force in the Ming Dynasty. Resolutely blocking Jinzhou and defending the capital city, on the other hand, this army sucks the blood of the Ming Dynasty like a vampire, making hundreds of millions of Li people miserable, even taking money without doing anything... But now Everyone put aside these worrying matters for the time being, admiring Guan Ningjun's military appearance with a sense of wonder, and sighed in admiration.

It is indeed the number one force in the Ming Dynasty, and only the Guan Ning Army can have such a magnificent military capacity.

The praise was like a wave, and the officers and men of the Guan Ning Army became more and more proud, their waists straightened, and they shouted Wan Sheng every few dozen steps, and their voices went straight to the sky.Chongzhen saw it clearly, and said with a smile: "This is my Guanning iron cavalry!" For the first time, he felt that the 700 million taels of Liao's salary every year was worth it, at least he armed such an elite cavalry.The courtiers around him also praised repeatedly. Although everyone has been living on floating without salary for more than ten years, it is the first time to see the real Guanning iron cavalry. It really deserves its reputation!
Two thousand cavalry marched to the foot of the Andingmen city, Zu Dale made a gesture, more than 2000 people got off their horses at the same time, and bowed to the ground: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Chongzhen laughed heartily: "Pingshen, Pingshen! The soldiers have worked hard!"

Zu Dalue said loudly: "We are all Han people in Liaodong. We have created slaves and brutally slaughtered my compatriots and burned my homeland. Most of the millions of Han people were killed. This kind of blood feud is as deep as the sea! Thanks to the trust of the imperial court, we will be The surviving Han people armed themselves and guarded western Liaoning. We encouraged ourselves all the time to regain Liaodong and guarded the outside of the pass without fighting every day. We were shocked every night. After more than ten years of hard fighting, we conquered Ningyuan, conquered Jinzhou, and fought a bloody battle with Jiannu in In Daling River, all the soldiers of the army put their lives at risk, fought desperately, and won by luck. This is the result of the emperor's grace! I swear here that when the Ning army is here, Jiannu will give birth to two wings from his ribs, and there is no way to cross the thunder pond. Half a step!”

Two thousand iron riders beat their chests with fists and shouted in unison: "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

Chongzhen became more and more happy: "What an iron army, what a group of loyal soldiers!"

If Yang Menglong heard this sentence, he would turn around silently, kick up his ass and fart loudly and stinky towards Chongzhen.

The Guan Ning army drove over, and then, the sound of uniform footsteps sounded, and the [-]-day army appeared on the stage... Yes, the [-]-day army entered the battle, and even those who were killed and wounded, could still come to participate in the Jieyaowei For the big ceremony, there are only three thousand people.This red-clothed flying army, which left a deep impression on the common people in the capital when it first appeared, did not call for victory like the Guan Ning army, but kept silent.

The Guan Ning army is strong and powerful, and the first impression it gives people is that it is wild and aggressive, but the silent Tianxiong army gives people the impression that it is a cold machine, it will not make any mistakes, and it will not give the opponent any harm. Once the opportunity is activated, no matter how many troops and horses come to cover you up, you will be crushed to pieces by it indifferently!In the Battle of Daling River, in the bloody battle for Yang Menglong and Huang Taiji, the ruthlessness and high tacit understanding displayed by this powerful force made Hou Jin terrified, and finally forced Hou Jin Baqi to retreat voluntarily, because if they continue to fight, they may lose their strength. The Ming army was completely wiped out, but its own casualties would be extremely heavy. It is not impossible that more than 1 people would die. Hou Jin could not afford such a battle.

After the silence, there was an earth-shattering shout, and everyone was screaming: "Flying Army in Red! Flying Army in Red!" The sound was several times louder than that of Guan Ningjun!Chongzhen couldn't help standing up even more, walked to the battlement and looked down, smiling very heartily.Some ministers looked annoyed, it seemed that they had made a wrong bet.Although Guan Ning's army is strong and powerful, it is obviously inferior to Tianxiong's army!Furthermore, the Guan Ning Army is a group of martial arts masters no matter what, but the commander of the Tianxiong Army Lu Xiangsheng is an out-and-out literati, and the Holy One admires him even more. The Tianxiong Army is obviously a potential stock!Isn't it thankless for them to try their best to please Guan Ningjun?I must make amends later, to see if I can make a bet with the Tianxiong Army...

The bursts of cheers also spread far to Wuyangwei's side, and the soldiers looked over there, envious.Accepting the cheers of all the people in front of the emperor, what a sight it is, having such an experience, going back is enough to brag about for a lifetime!But those officials from the Ministry of Rites with Bird Feather stopped them and didn't let them move, it was really maddening.Yang Menglong looked indifferent, and said to Qi Hu: "It's very lively."

Qi Hu said: "Most of the people in Beijing have come here to watch the victory ceremony. Can it be lively?"

Yang Menglong yawned, and said: "It's a pity, we don't have the share in the limelight, we must lose face. However, it's good for everyone to see the emperor's face up close, and we will have something to brag about when we go back."

Han Peng said: "Sir, please think of a way! This kind of thing may not happen once in a lifetime. You should think of a way to let us shine, otherwise it will be a pity!"

Yang Menglong spread his hands and said: "What can I do? The flag is torn, the clothes are torn, the horse is as thin as a donkey, and your boots and trouser legs are full of mud. No matter how you try, it will only be embarrassing. It’s enough.”

Han Peng stared at the group of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette not far away who looked malicious, and spit on the ground bitterly.It was these guys who deliberately made trouble with Wuyang Guard, causing Wuyang Guard to be unprepared and extremely passive!The daring guys like Xue Siming, Zhong Ning, and Cao Jun gritted their teeth and thought about how they could find an opportunity to catch these bastards and beat them with black sticks!
On the other side of the Anding Gate, the cheers and shouts became louder and louder, and the atmosphere became frenzied. Wuyang Wei, who was still trapped in the barracks until now, was frowning and at a loss, as hard as he wanted...
