When the Manchu and Qing troops left the border, martial law in the capital was naturally lifted.
Compared with the civil servants who have many small thoughts, the people in the capital are much simpler. When they heard that King Qin's army had arrived outside the city, they immediately swarmed out. They wanted to see what kind of army these troops who had defeated Jianlu were like!
People have always been talking about how powerful, powerful, and invincible Jianlu is! If it's a bit exaggerated, at least Jianlu's invincibility in the field seems to be a certainty!
However, the mighty Ming Empire did not have an army that could compete with Jianlu. The Guan Ning Army, the most powerful in the legend, could only hide in the strong city of Ning Jin to defend itself. Every time the Jianlu came to attack, if Ming troops came to reinforce them, they would be defeated by the Jianlu, without exception.
In the past, when fighting against Jianlu, the few victories were achieved by defending the city. But as for the head of the Ming Dynasty in terms of military merit, there is no such thing! Because the Tatars are the ones who win in the end, and the Tatars will take back the bodies before leaving, that's it!
These rumors have been circulating for a long time, and almost everyone thinks that Jianlu is invincible in the field, which has almost become a myth!
However, this time, this myth is busted!
The Qin soldiers came out of the pass and traveled thousands of miles to the king. In the first battle, they defeated Jianlu and defended the city. Not only that, Jianlu finally used despicable means to prevent the city from being breached. However, as soon as the Qin soldiers turned around, they ambushed the Tatars. Moreover, they still used Jianlu's best field combat method and annihilated more than 5,000 Tatars. Their heads were piled up into a hill, breaking the myth that Jianlu was invincible in field battles.
In the second battle, the emperor's powerful Yongwei camp came all the way from the south, chasing behind the tens of thousands of captives. However, the Jianlu army did not dare to fight and fled. In order to escape, the people who had been looted from Jinan City were even thrown all over the place. Speaking of which, the Yongwei Battalion is indeed worthy of being the emperor's powerful force. It has lived up to the emperor's expectations. Not only does it have strict military discipline, but it also saves the people from fire and water. It is really touching. In today's world, there are really not many such armies!
In the third battle, the Qin soldiers and the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion joined forces and fought outside the city on the north bank of the Wei River in Tianjin. They once again defeated the Jianlu captives, annihilating 20,000 enemies, and saving nearly 200,000 people who were plundered by the Tatars. For our people, this victory is so real that no one else can erase it even if they want to. In the end, the Tatars were so frightened that they no longer dared to stay in the pass, and fled out of the pass in panic like a bereaved dog.
For the people of Ming Dynasty, how frustrated they were before, how excited they are now. Everyone wants to go outside the city and see with their own eyes what the imperial officers and soldiers who defeated Jianlu looked like in the field? Are they all burly men with broad shoulders and round waists, looking like soldiers and generals descending from heaven?
Outside the capital city, not far from the city gate, there is a high platform built in a flat wilderness. There are already some soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division standing guard around, preventing anyone from getting closer.
The people who had left the city immediately started talking when they saw this situation.
"Looking at this posture, it's not like some court officials are coming to inspect King Qin's army, right?"
"I think so, right? Such a victory requires at least the Minister of War, right?"
"Let me tell you, even if the cabinet minister comes, it's not too much, right?"
"..."
While they were discussing, suddenly, a large group of soldiers from the Five Cities Army and Horse Division came out from the capital city. The number of soldiers was so large that they almost reached the level of three steps to one post and five steps to one post. And soon, a large group of civil and military officials, led by officials in red scarlet robes, headed towards the high platform.
Seeing this situation, the people watching couldn't help but start talking again.
"Hey, did you see it? The chief minister of the cabinet came out with all the civil and military officials. This standard is really high!"
"No, in the past, when foreign troops came to the capital, they had to station themselves far away, and only the leading ministers or generals could come to the capital to have an audience. But this time, it was the civil and military officials who came out on their own initiative. Haha, it's so big The imperial court recognizes your victory!"
"..."
However, some people who were more familiar with the officialdom were a little strange and couldn't help but said: "What's going on? There seems to be a problem! Logically speaking, King Qin's army should be the first to line up, and then the civil and military hundred Come here, officials. Why are you letting all the civil and military officials come and wait first?"
"Yes, what you said is indeed a bit abnormal! It's unreasonable!"
"Could it be that King Qin's army won such a big victory, so he felt that he was qualified to let all the civil and military officials wait for him?"
"If you ask me, just wait. After all, the Jianlu were all fought out by King Qin's army. The leader was also Lu Shangshu with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, as well as Governor Hong, the governor of the three sides, and Sun Zhongcheng, the governor of Shaanxi. These are all from my Ming Dynasty The frontier official!"
"That's not right. Even if King Qin's army has merit, they are just the top soldiers after all. It's unreasonable to do this!"
"What's wrong? After such a big victory, isn't Jianlu invincible in the field? We won the battle. I think there's no problem with this credit!"
"..."
The people watching slowly divided into two viewpoints.
One kind of person feels that there is no problem at all for King Qin's army to do this. Their contribution is great and it doesn't matter if they enjoy this honor. These people are mainly ordinary people.
But another point of view is that no matter how big the victory is, King Qin's army should not take credit and be arrogant, but should still remember its own duty. These people are mainly from scholarly families.
They were arguing. Among the civil and military officials, Xue Guoguan, the chief minister of the cabinet, was also puzzled. He couldn't help but ask the people around him: "What's going on? Why didn't King Qin's army arrive? But if the notice is in place, the emperor will leave the city immediately!"
The Minister of Honglu Temple glanced at Yang Gebu who was in the shape of a clay Buddha, and shouted at his subordinates: "Who informed King Qin's army? It is impossible that they were not notified, right? Check to see if they were notified?"
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials who were already a little dissatisfied suddenly started to make a fuss.
"There's no way we weren't notified of such a big thing! What does Qin Wangjun mean? Are they really arrogant about taking credit, and think we should just wait for them?"
"A group of warriors, where are the etiquettes from? They don't know how much they weigh with just a little credit!"
"I would like to tell you that if Lu Hongsun and others think that they have achieved this feat, we will have to be humble to them. Tomorrow, I don't know what these foreign officials will do!"
"..."
Seeing this, Xue Guoguan was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he felt helpless.
Emperor Qiankun made a decisive decision and made an unprecedented decision to go out of the city in person to review the victorious soldiers. It was such a happy event, why did it cause such a mess! Looking back, the emperor will arrive soon and finds that King Qin's army has not arrived yet. This attitude of contempt for the emperor will definitely make Long Yan furious. It is estimated that many colleagues in the court will take the opportunity to add insult to injury. I don't know what trouble will happen!
Therefore, regardless of whether he was not notified before or whether he was notified to King Qin's army to stage a show, Xue Guoguan immediately ordered the people around him to stop pursuing the matter and quickly go to the military camp to notify him.
However, at this moment, a large group of royal guards emerged from the capital. It was obvious that the emperor had arrived.
At this time, in the military tent in the camp outside the city, Lu Xiangsheng and others were there. All the soldiers were gathered together, and everyone was very excited.
After all, the war was over, and several unprecedented victories had been fought. Now it was time to award rewards based on merit. Even if the civil servants such as Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were more reserved, the generals below were smiling broadly.
Lu Xiangsheng did not enforce strict military discipline, so he just let them chat. And he himself was also talking to Hong Chengchou and others.
After a while, Wang Chengen interrupted them and said: "Everyone, the court's notice is only one hour away. It's almost time for the soldiers to leave the camp."
Hearing this, Sun Yingyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Yongwei Battalion, laughed and said: "Eunuch, don't worry. The soldiers were all happy when they heard that the emperor was coming to inspect in person again. They had already prepared and were waiting for the order. We can leave camp soon."
"That's right, the last time the emperor reviewed the Qin soldiers, our Yongwei camp is the emperor's powerful force. Although we have done so before, it is outside this city and we have won a battle. This is the first time for the emperor to review." Huang Degong also laughed loudly. He smiled and said, "Brothers are all excited and have not embarrassed the emperor. They are all waiting to submit their results to the emperor!"
Listening to them talking, Lu Xiangsheng stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, the unexpected results achieved in King Qin's battle this time are all due to the emperor's strategic planning. It's only an hour away. Get ready to leave the camp. , let the people in the capital who have already arrived see our achievements, and it would be good to make them happy first!"
Even if the lower-level soldiers did not understand the contribution of Emperor Chongzhen to the victory of these wars, Lu Hongsun and others, as well as the leading generals, could deeply feel it. I know that without the support of the emperor, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a record. Therefore, each of them admired the current emperor very much.
Therefore, on the way back to the capital, this matter was spread among the army as if it were gossip.
As a result, the military officers and soldiers also felt it immediately. You know, in the past, there was basically no reward or pension, not to mention the pay due to war. But now, not only are military pay available, but rewards and pensions can also be received in a timely manner. Even when marching, they could mobilize countless animal power to move around, so that they could appear in front of the Tatars without warning and win a great victory.
It is true that I have never heard of an emperor who thinks about them in this way.
This is how people are, if you respect me, I will respect you; if you think about us, we will be grateful to you. This kind of relationship, even if there is no status relationship, is still effective. Nowadays, there is also the status bonus of the most noble emperor in the world. One can imagine what these ordinary soldiers would think about the emperor!
Therefore, Huang Degong and the others were right. All the soldiers were waiting in the military camp, waiting for the order to leave the camp to be inspected by the emperor. Just like a wanderer who has gained fame, he is eager to go home and share his joy with his parents.
Besides, everyone in the military tent stood up when they heard Lu Xiangsheng's words. It's better to go earlier, isn't it just that the weather is colder? If you are a soldier fighting in a war, this doesn't matter!
But at this moment, suddenly a soldier hurried in from the door and loudly announced that a large group of civilian and military generals had come out of the city and had arrived at the reviewing stand.
This news made everyone in the Chinese military tent stunned.
If the generals didn't know what was going on and couldn't react for a while, the civil servants present immediately understood what was going on!
Immediately, Sun Chuanting was the first to not hold back, frowning and shouted coldly: "What does this mean? Isn't it that the time has not yet come? They arrived first, and together they made others think that our King Qin's army was proud of the credit, and actually allowed the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to do so. waited?"
Hong Chengchou has never enjoyed such treatment before. He has always maintained a relatively good relationship with civil servants, which is also related to the fact that he usually pays attention to his relationship in the officialdom. This time, he was mixed up with Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and was affected.
Of course he also understood the intentions of those people, and immediately said: "There is no need to delay. Before the emperor arrives, let's set off quickly and make up for our mistakes!"
Listening to their conversation, the generals basically understood what was going on, and all of them suddenly had angry faces.
These generals are actually troubled by those who are behind the scenes, especially those civil servants. But there is no way, because the civil servants are noble and the military officials are inferior. They have no say at all when dealing with civil servants, not to mention that there are still civil and military officials in the court in front of them.
When the military supervisor saw it, he was also dissatisfied. This meant that they were also included in the scheme. Fortunately, those civil servants can't control them. They have been in the army for a long time and have won great battles, so naturally they have a better relationship with the army officers.
Therefore, Wang Chengen was the first to speak: "Don't pay attention to those civil servants. As long as the emperor doesn't think so, we will be fine. For such a big victory, there will be no less rewards."
Having said this, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng, but he knew in his heart that nothing would happen to the people in the palace. The rewards of the officers and soldiers might be affected, but Lu Xiangsheng, the coach, would definitely be affected.
Lu Xiangsheng, on the other hand, had a calm face, at least on the surface, and said calmly: "Pass this military order to the entire army, bring the spoils of war, escort the captured prisoners, and leave the camp!"
"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists and accepted the order. Faintly, I felt a little angry in my heart.
But at this moment, someone suddenly came in and reported: "Report, the emperor's chariot has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Zhongjun tent couldn't help but be stunned, and then everyone felt extremely heavy. The emperor has already arrived, so the arrogance of people like himself cannot escape. Is there anything else in the world that makes the emperor wait?
At this time, there was no room for them to hesitate, so they immediately organized the army and left the camp.
On the reviewing stand, Emperor Chongzhen discovered that King Qin's army was not there yet. After hearing Xue Guoguan explain the reason for the incident, he understood in his heart that there was definitely no notification, or there was something wrong with the notification.
hehe! Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart. It seemed that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were good at internal fighting and could use any means! Isn’t that just a piece of shit? Still thought I was the former Emperor Chongzhen? Just wait and see!
