Without collecting detection reports at night, the main force of the Qing army headed east after leaving Qingshan Pass, all the way away.
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, it was March 13th, the first quarter of the lunar month.
Sun Chuanting personally wrote a memorial inscription at the foot of Qingshan Pass for the soldiers who died in the battle of Qingshan Pass and the people who were massacred and suffered.
Amidst the sad and sad sound of the sword, Sun Chuanting led the army on the road back to Beijing.
The battle at Qingshan Pass came to an end.
More than 7,000 soldiers from all over the world and from all over the world were buried under Daqing Mountain forever. They stayed in Daqing Mountain, beside the Great Wall that had been protecting China for thousands of years.
Sleeping with them were tens of thousands of people who suffered at Qingshan Pass, and those people were buried behind their cemetery.
It is more than 500 miles from Qingshan Pass to Beijing City.
The army marched all the way south, and few people on the march had smiles on their faces, not even much anger.
Their victory at Qingshan Pass was not enough to wash away the shame that lasted for twenty years.
The unarmed people who were massacred at Qingshan Pass suppressed their joy of victory, and everyone marched in silence.
Going south from Qingshan Pass, you will see hellish scenes everywhere. There are ruins and bones everywhere, which makes the atmosphere even more depressing.
The same miserable situation is found in the Gyeonggi area, and traces of the passing of Jiannu can be seen everywhere.
It was not until March 18th that the army arrived at the outskirts of the capital, and such situations became much less common.
Different from other inaccessible areas, the suburbs of the capital were currently gathering a large number of hungry people who had fled all the way to avoid the war.
Foreign soldiers were not allowed to enter the capital easily. In compliance with the order, the army stayed outside Yongding Gate.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites had already planned a camp in advance and prepared sufficient drinks, food and grass as a reward for the troops.
Officials from the Ministry of War entered the military camp and counted the battle achievements and military details of each town.
The emperor's edict commending the three armies was also communicated to the three armies by the internal officials.
The internal officials entered the camp with the imperial edict, and Sun Chuanting obeyed the order, got into the carriage, and entered the capital.
He will wait for Chongzhen to receive him alone on the platform.
The camp of King Qin's army was also crowded with civilians who came to watch, and even more people came from all directions in the capital.
Everyone wants to come and see what kind of energy and demeanor the army that can achieve a great victory at Qingshan Pass has.
The news of the previous great victory shocked both inside and outside the capital, and the oppression of more than twenty years was suddenly released.
Nowadays, the streets and alleys of the capital and along the roads are filled with cheering civilians who come to greet him.
In the past twenty years, there have been endless border troubles, the slaves have invaded twice, and the troops have arrived at the gates of Beijing and invaded the capital. How can we not make people fearful, and how can we not make people panic?
The border army was corrupt and incapable of guarding the border, and slaves frequently invaded, leaving no security at all.
But now, everything is different!
The front line wins!
Great victory at Qingshan Pass!
Everything can be faked, but the more than a thousand heads captured, various flags, armor and equipment are really difficult to fake.
The news has been reviewed and came from the Forbidden City. Is it still false?
The emperor clearly issued an imperial edict, announced it to the world, and spread it to the world. How could it be false? !
There were crowds of people inside and outside Yongding Gate, and the nearby streets were overcrowded.
Although the Outer City Military and Horse Division had sent additional manpower in advance, there were so many people who came to watch that the road was still difficult to navigate.
In the end, it was not until the Tiqi from Jinyiwei arrived that the obstruction improved.
After the grand welcome ceremony, the official in charge announced that tomorrow, the generals of King Qin's army who had won the victory at Qingshan Pass would enter the city to show off their victory. After that, the crowd became slightly thinner, but many people were still reluctant to leave. go.
It was not until dusk that the people lingering near Yongding Gate finally dispersed.
The sun sets over the western mountains, dyeing half of the world crimson.
Sun Chuanting talked with Chongzhen in the palace until dusk, and finally returned to the camp.
When he came back, Sun Chuanting, who was originally wearing a crimson civil service uniform, had changed into a red python robe.
On the 19th, Pingdan, it was twilight.
The inside and outside of Yongding Gate were already filled with soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. A group of royal guards and cavalry wearing gorgeous uniforms and armor were standing around to maintain order in the city.
Not only that, even the Beijing camp was dispatched to guard both sides of the road.
The news of the great victory at Qingshan Pass had spread throughout the capital a long time ago.
On the 18th, the imperial court had posted a notice and made it clear that the 19th would be the day when King Qin's army would enter Beijing to show victory.
Ming Dynasty needed a victory too much, and the court needed a victory too much.
In the past twenty years, the slaves have often invaded the border, plundered the border passes, destroyed the city, burned and killed them, and even entered the pass twice to force the capital, which was a great shame and humiliation.
The imperial court needed such a great victory to restore its prestige, the imperial court needed such a great victory to improve military morale and the people's morale, and the imperial court also needed such a great victory to comfort the people who died in the turmoil.
The sky is dimming, but the streets in Beijing are already deserted.
A wide walkway was left in the center of the road, with people standing densely on both sides. As far as the eye could see, there were crowds of heads, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement and excitement.
The sky is shining, the east is getting red, and the sun is rising.
The golden light broke through the layers of clouds and radiated in all directions, and a red sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon.
Outside Yongding Gate, more than 6,000 soldiers of the Ming Army were standing in formation.
The golden sunshine shines on the Ming army's formation outside Yongding Gate.
Their faces were the same as those of the people who came to watch the ceremony, showing excitement and excitement.
Naturally, it is impossible for all the tens of thousands of troops to enter the city, so every soldier who enters the city has been strictly selected.
Each town was subdivided according to the number of people, military achievements, etc., and then allocated quotas. The total number was finally set at 6,000 people.
All the soldiers held their heads high and stood straight, their backs even straighter than the spears in their hands.
Sun Chuanting wore a pure red python robe, a dark gold mountain-patterned armor, and a pointed iron helmet decorated with red tassels and helmet flags. The collar and ear protection for the neck were rolled up and placed. On both sides of the helmet, the edges of the armor were trimmed with fur fringes.
Riding a pure white horse, he stood alone in front of the military formation.
Behind Sun Chuanting, in the second row are Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Zuo Guangxian and five general soldiers who are also wearing burqas.
In addition to the five of them, there are two deputy general soldiers who are also in the second row.
Chen Wang is one of the deputy commander-in-chief, and Zu Dale is the other deputy commander-in-chief.
Chen Wang wears a three-flag moon helmet, waist-length fish scale armor, and a red gold war skirt with animal patterns. He wears a sword on his waist, a long bow on his shoulder, and a quiver. He sits astride a bay-red horse and stands on the far right. Zu Dalue stands on the left side of Chen Wang.
This arrangement of positions naturally has profound meaning.
Zu Dashou did not return to the capital to receive the reward. On the way, military information came from the direction of Liaodong, so Zu Dashou took most of his troops to say goodbye and go north to Liaodong.
Everyone maintained a tacit understanding and said nothing, including Sun Chuanting.
During the Jisi Incident, Zu Dashou and Yuan Chonghuan were summoned to the palace twice, and Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and imprisoned for the second time.
On the third day after returning to the camp, Zu Dashou and He Kegang led 15,000 Guan Ning troops to run eastward. They claimed that they had left the pass to resist the enemy, but in fact they were running towards the camp outside the pass.
Although Zu Dashou still bowed his head and accepted the order to return to support the subsequent battles, Zu Dashou was afraid in his heart. From then on, he would never leave the camp easily, and even rarely left Liaodong.
Everyone is aware of Zu Dashou's worries. He is worried that he will follow in the footsteps of Yuan Chonghuan and be killed by Chongzhen.
Today's situation in Liaodong is actually a mess.
Chongzhen was extremely dissatisfied with the Liaodong Military Town, which was gradually turning into a warlord and requiring a large amount of money every year. However, he had no way to solve this problem and could only rely on Zu Dashou to temporarily stabilize the situation.
This is why Chongzhen wanted to use Yang Sichang's plan to negotiate peace with the Qing army.
Because only in this way can we gradually weaken the self-respect of Liaodong's troops and the progress of warlordization, and at the same time quell the civil strife, we can also have spare money and energy to train elite troops and stabilize the northern border.
It would not be necessary to rely on Zu Dashou to protect Liaodong like it is now.
Zu Dashou knew that as long as he had enough troops to stabilize Liaodong's defense line, the current situation could be maintained.
From the beginning, everyone knew that Zu Dashou would not enter Beijing.
This time when he entered Beijing, it was his cousin Zu Dalue who replaced Zu Dashou.
After Chen Wang came to the queue, he took the initiative to salute Zu Dale on the side.
Zu Dale also returned the salute with a smile and cupped his fists.
People in this era are very rural, and if they are from the same place, they will naturally become closer.
Zu Dale had a good relationship with Zu Kuan and Cao Wenzhao.
Therefore, Zu Dale naturally would not dislike Chen Wang, who like Zu Kuan was born as a servant and was a direct descendant of Cao Wenzhao. He had risen through the ranks with his military exploits.
Everyone watched the bloody battle at Qingshan Pass and Nanshan.
Chen Wang's arrow fixed Gong Shutai, shot Zhenghuang Banner Gushan's forehead Zhen Tan Tai, and defeated the Qing army's guard camp head-on, which greatly strengthened the spirit of the three armies.
And most importantly, in the battle of Gongshutai, Chen Wang led his Liao Cavalry to victory.
As a Liao native, I am naturally proud of myself.
Chen Wang and Zu Dale talked about the war at Qingshan Pass, and then the topic turned to Liaodong.
Chen Wang asked Zu Dale to take care of the family in Shanhaiguan if possible, and Zu Dale agreed wholeheartedly.
His ancestral home is in Liaodong, and now he is actually not much different from the Tu Emperor.
Naturally, Chen Wang would not be at odds with his ancestral family. After all, the Chen and Hu families are still in Liaodong.
In the current situation, it is impossible for Chen Wang to bring his family to Hanzhong.
The problem is naturally not one of long-distance migration.
But as a camp general, the emperor naturally cannot trust you to command the troops outside and support the troops, so he naturally needs some bargaining chips.
Many times, the general's family members were the emperor's bargaining chip.
Generally speaking, as a general outside the country, the main members of his family will be required to stay in the capital.
"Woo————"
Accompanied by the desolate and low sound of the horn, Chen Wang and Zu Dale also tacitly stopped talking and raised their eyes to look at the tall Yongding Gate directly in front.
The majestic city walls and towers can't help but inspire awe in people's hearts.
The flaming red flags fluttered on the city wall, like a prairie fire.
With a heart-wrenching creaking sound, the tall and magnificent Yongding Gate slowly opened to the left and right.
Chen Wang raised his eyes and looked inside the door. Even though he had gone through hundreds of battles and been on the battlefield for many years, he could not help but be moved by what he saw in front of him.
Both sides of the road were crowded with people watching, and even the windowsills of the pavilions along the street were filled with people coming to watch the ceremony.
Both sides of the street were lined with soldiers from the Beijing camp maintaining order.
The soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Tiqi of the Jinyiwei were also among them.
Just when Chen Wang looked into the city, all the people in the city also looked at them.
Sun Chuanting slowly raised the riding crop in his hand, waved it forward slightly, and gave the order.
"Enter the city."
Chen Wang led the war horse, gently kicked the horse's belly, raised his head, and marched slowly forward.
The mournful and mournful 筚篩 sounds slowly sounded on the outskirts of the capital. Along with the waving flags, all the soldiers of the Ming army on the official road took their steps forward.
Facing the rising sun, bathed in the light of the rising sun, six thousand armored soldiers moved together.
The dull sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor of the city gate, and for a moment all other sounds were overwhelmed by it.
The crowd of onlookers was shocked by the momentum of King Qin's army. Until Chen Wang rode his horse through the corridor and entered the urn city, the whole city was still quiet.
Those who can be selected to enter the city to offer victory are all the elites of each battalion, and their military appearance can be said to be in its prime.
The most important thing is that tens of thousands of troops fought a bloody battle with the Qing army at Qingshan Pass a few days ago. The blood and murderous energy they brought from the battlefield have not yet dissipated, making them even more imposing.
The new wind blows into the formation, causing the red tassels to flutter, and the flags to roll up and move.
Densely packed spears and halberds gathered into one forest after another, and layers of flags almost obscured the sky above them!
The silence was finally broken, and someone shouted loudly.
The next moment, countless cheers came from both sides of the road, soaring into the sky!
Huge cheers resounded in everyone's ears in an instant, and the deafening cheers violently hit everyone's chest.
All the emotions that had been suppressed for twenty years burst out at this moment. Twenty years of blood and tears, twenty years of fear, were all broken today!
Chen Wang looked around. In front of him were countless people raising their arms and cheering towards them, and in his ears were the cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
The sound of horse hooves, footsteps, and military music, no matter how loud they are, are not as loud as the cheers.
At this moment, all the sounds between heaven and earth were eclipsed by the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami.
The chapter on the capital will not be very long, and the plot of the Wuyin Revolution volume is coming to an end, and Chen Wang will soon be on his way to the south.
It's been a really rough time.
I know that I update very slowly. I will update as much as possible and strive for a stable update speed. I hope all book friends can subscribe and support it.
I can't promise too much. The only thing I can promise is that I will finish writing this book seriously.
