While waiting anxiously, a hint of red appeared in the east!
In the courtyard of the garrison mansion, a bonfire was dancing, with a large pot on it, the gushing white rice was rolling, and the mist filled the air with the aroma of porridge.
Qin Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao, You Shiwei and others all entered the garrison with dark circles under their eyes.
Everyone stayed up all night, not because they were not sleepy, but because they were so distressed that they couldn't sleep after looking at the statistics of battle damage.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Yuan Keli's heart sank suddenly, and his hand that stirred the porridge paused.
"Is everything arranged?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Yuan Keli served porridge to everyone and said calmly: "People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry.
It is true that you are worried about the soldiers, but you must remember that you are the commander of an army and are responsible for tens of thousands of soldiers.
Only if you resist yourself can you make the most correct decision and tens of thousands of soldiers will not lose their lives.
Since it has happened and we cannot change it, then try to accept it.
The Jinyi Guards have just come to report that His Majesty's chariot is almost twenty miles away from Longjing Pass. Let's have some porridge first, and then wait for His Majesty to come and report the battle damage together! "
"Mr. Ge, do you want to go and greet the Holy Master?"
"No, because of His Majesty's temperament, His Majesty wouldn't like it if he went to greet you at this time. We'll just wait here.
This pavilion has arranged for people to search the one-mile area on both sides of the official road from Luanhe River to here. There is no problem in terms of safety! "
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to pick up the porridge and drink it slowly.
While they were eating porridge, on the official road four or five miles away from Hanerzhuang City, a convoy that stretched for several miles was moving rapidly forward.
A slightly ordinary-looking carriage in front of the rushing motorcade suddenly opened its curtains. Chongzhen's nose twitched slightly and his brows furrowed slightly: "Li Aiqing, how far is it from Longjing Pass?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it's less than five miles away. At the speed of the convoy, we can get there in three quarters of an hour!"
"Five miles?"
Chongzhen glanced at the convoy behind him with a sneer on his lips: "Let them all get off the car and run forward!"
"I obey the decree!"
After Li Ruolian responded, she said loudly: "Stop the car, everyone get out of the car immediately, move for a quarter of an hour, and run forward immediately!"
Jin Yiwei began to knock hard on the carriage door and shouted for the people in the carriage to get out.
"What's wrong? Do you want to have breakfast? Didn't you eat it in the car all the time?"
"What are you doing? Are you allowed to sleep since it's so early in the morning?"
"Running forward? Is there any mistake? We are not prisoners!"
"What kind of trouble is this? If you don't eat breakfast so early in the morning, how can you have the energy to run?"
"Hey, I haven't eaten meat for two days, and my mouth can look like a bird!"
…
The faces of everyone who got out of the car were full of complaints. The carriage kept running for two days and one night without stopping except to go to the toilet.
The weather is hot, the carriage is small, five or six people are crowded together, and there is a smell of farts, sweat, grunting, teeth grinding, body stiffness, etc.
They are either extremely wealthy, or they are officials in the DPRK and Central Government. How have high-ranking students ever suffered this kind of crime?
However, the Jin Yiwei and the six ministers were silent, and they could only complain in a low voice.
Listening to everyone's comments and complaints, the Jin Yiwei had a sneer on their lips and said to themselves: Of course there is rice and meat, but I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it for a while!
A quarter of an hour later, under the urging of Jin Yiwei, the gentry and wealthy businessmen began to run. However, these people could not carry their hands or shoulders. Running was really a big challenge for them.
Half an hour later, thousands of people arrived at the Luanhe River, dripping with sweat and panting.
Looking at the armies stationed on both sides and smelling the extremely strong smell of blood, everyone's faces were filled with fear and panic.
"Everyone, I have heard a lot of complaints along the way!"
Chongzhen got off the carriage, walked to a chariot, and said lightly,
Before they finished speaking, the faces of the thousands of people in front of them suddenly changed, and they suddenly knelt down, with even more panic on their faces.
None of them expected that the emperor would be walking with them these past two days.
"A few days ago, the imperial court posted notices in Beijing about the entry of slaves into the customs, the victory of Zunhua, etc. I also heard the discussions among the people,
I invite you all to come today, and naturally I ask you to be witnesses, so that everyone will not say that I, together with the Cabinet and the Ministry of War, are committing fraud! "
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned to look at the mountain pass on the north side of Luanhe River with a sneer on his lips: "This is eight or nine miles away from Longjing Pass. I will give you an hour.
If I don't see you at Longjing Pass in an hour, you think about the consequences yourself! "
After saying that, he got off the nest car and crossed the river through a simple stone pier.
Looking at the vague corpses on the ground in the distance and the muddy ground made of blood, Li Ruolian whispered
"Your Majesty, why don't you take the sedan chair and let me carry you there?"
"Need not!"
Looking at the vague corpse on the ground in the distance, although Chongzhen's face turned a little pale, he still refused.
"These are either my soldiers or my enemies of the Ming Dynasty. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Let's go!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he raised his feet and left. Li Ruolian gave a wry smile and followed with hundreds of royal guards.
Just a quarter of an hour later, Chongzhen knew what it meant to be tough. He forced himself to endure the discomfort in his stomach and bravely moved forward among the dead bodies everywhere.
Sometimes the corpses were so densely packed that there was no place to stand, so we had to step on the corpse of Jian Nu.
The battlefield on the edge of a mountain pass is so tragic. How tragic must it be in front of Longjing Pass?
A quarter of an hour later, Chongzhen walked through the battlefield at the mountain pass. Although there were no corpses on the bumpy official road, it was still full of brown, and the strong smell of blood reached Tianling Gai.
Half an hour later, Chongzhen arrived at the main battlefield of Longjing Pass. When he looked around, he saw corpses all over the place.
Even though Chongzhen had seen the scene where eight major locust merchants were killed in Datong, now when he saw the scene on the battlefield, the discomfort in his stomach instantly reached the extreme.
With a "wow" sound, he opened his mouth and vomited. For a moment, it was like a pouring mudslide hitting the ground.
Cough...cough...
At this moment, Chongzhen really gave in.
"His Majesty……"
Chongzhen bent down and reached out to stop Li Ruolian, who was about to come over to help him. After a while, Chongzhen felt better, took the kettle and rinsed his mouth.
Then he reached out and picked up a spear from the ground, and walked toward Longjing Pass with the spear in hand with a pale face.
He could imagine the hell-like scene on earth after hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting in the capital. He could have not come and waited for good news in the capital, but he still insisted on coming.
He is a person who traveled through time in later generations. It was a relatively peaceful society, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the lives of the people were the highest criterion.
But he knew how much he had to pay for it.
Therefore, he wanted to come to the scene and see the young faces who sacrificed their lives for Ming Dynasty. He wanted to warn himself in this way.
We must be full of reverence for life, do not start war easily because of great achievements, and must cultivate the super combat power of the army.
He was even more afraid that he would become an emperor and become a cold-blooded animal, forgetting his original intention of serving the people when he crossed over.
