Qin Bing came to Beijing to offer a gift of captives to Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang who had been in trouble for many years and had wandered in several provinces.The reason why Shou Han and Lu Xiangsheng's victory in Hexi and Jianchang camp's pursuit and suppression were delayed was that apart from Shou Han's own official position and other reasons, the main reason was to wait for the Qin soldiers to come to Beijing to offer prisoners. .

This can be regarded as double happiness.

That night, Chongzhen still gave a banquet in the imperial garden, entertaining generals at all levels of Qin Bing, Tianxiong Army, and Nanzhong Army.

According to the triumphant entry process drawn up by the three departments of rites, officials, and soldiers, whether it is the Nanzhong Army, Qin Bing, or Tianxiong Army, they all enter the city at Zhengyang Gate, and then follow the current central axis all the way to Chengtian Gate. All kinds of rules and regulations, and the points that need to be paid attention to are also highlighted, so that the generals of each army can prepare in detail.

In the early morning of September [-]th, there were already crowds of people inside and outside Zhengyang Gate. Soldiers from the five city soldiers and horses and the soldiers from the fifth army battalion held their swords and guns and separated a path among the densely packed crowd so that the army could enter the city successfully.

"My lords, the auspicious time has come, please get on your horses and lead the army into the city!"

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites knelt in front of the four of them and urged them loudly.

According to Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting's insistence, Qin Bing was the first to escort Gao Yingxiang's prison car into the city first.

On the surface, it seems that Qin Bing stole the lottery.However, Shou Han knew in his heart that Qin Bing's appearance was really bad, whether it was armor or appearance, he couldn't compare with Nanzhong Army and Tianxiong Army.If he enters the city between the two, or enters the city last, he will definitely be looked down upon by the people in the capital as the auxiliary troops of the two armies. [

The soldiers and horses of the three families have already lined up, and the Qin soldiers are in front.The Tianxiong Army is in the middle, and the South Central Army is adjourned.It is an arrangement in which military discipline goes from low to high, constantly creating climaxes.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had already bathed and changed their clothes, their crown robes and shoes were not ironed and flat. "Wei Ru and Jiutai have accepted." Hong Chengchou said politely, mounted his horse and led the army into the city under the service of his own soldiers.

The guards, led by a team of [-] horses, escorted Gao Yingxiang's prison car and marched along the street, enjoying the cheers and warm applause of the people in the capital along the way.

Then Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army entered the city. The Tianxiong army soldiers all dressed in iron armor escorted several vehicles with Jiannu's heads and captured armored banners, knives and guns slowly into the city.

"Look! He is a hero who killed Tartars!"

No matter how big the bandit leader is.It is still far away from the life of the people in the capital.But.However, Jiannu saw Jiannu's head shaking in the autumn wind only across a city wall from them, and the emotions of the people in the capital were brought to a climax.The waves of cheers rose higher and higher,

Compared with the three-step and seven-step ratio of Qin soldiers and horses, the number of cavalry in the Tianxiong Army is slightly higher.It's almost half a horse and half a step.The infantry marched ahead.The cavalry followed, and each department placed the soldiers in armor on the outermost side to show their military might.

"Look! This is a hero who has traveled thousands of miles!"

The earth-shattering cheers made the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army raise their chests.Such a scene made them feel that it was worth the thousands of miles of running and the hundreds of miles of forced marching to pursue them.

The arrival of the South Central Army completely ignited the enthusiasm of the people in the capital.

A team of 500 people, 1000 infantry, and 500 cavalry, with dozens of carts in between, were loaded with seized Jiannu armor, swords, guns, flags, etc., on huge wooden frames, neatly Human heads are hung in an orderly manner.Jiannu's unique money rat tail is very good as a string to tie the human head.

"Drums! Go!"

With an order, the trumpeter excitedly ordered his subordinates to blow the copper horn, and the drummers standing in front of each square team beat the leather drums hanging on their chests one after another.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" [

The muffled sound of drums stirred up huge echoes and reverberations in the Zhengyangmen city gate. This strange sound made the people in the capital and the officers and soldiers of the capital camp onlookers curious and inexplicable.

Amidst the beat of the drummers, a few riders held high the banner of the South China Army and galloped past the city gate. Behind them were a group of hundreds of infantry guarding the banner of the South China Army and guarding Han. handsome flag.

Three hundred guards in full body armor, accompanied by the sound of drums, marched forward in neat steps!Every step forward coincides with the sound of drums, hitting the bluestone-paved Tianjie Road, and also hitting the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the capital and the people of the capital.

Between the phalanx and the phalanx, besides the drummer, there is also a large cart accompanying the guide.In addition to knives, guns, human heads and armor, there were also several captured Jiannu flags on the car.

"Jiannu Zhengbai Banner strengthens the banner! The first battle is in Hexiwu, beheaded!"

Following the thunderstorm of the South China Army on the car, there was a sound of thunder, and the Jiannu Zhengbai Flag in his hand was thrown from the car, and it happened to land in front of the whole team of South China Army, and was trampled to pieces in an instant.

"Building a slave with a red flag inlaid with Mongolia will get the banner of Shiku! Fight again in Hexiwu and behead him!"

"Jian slaves with red flags and Niulu flags! Fight again in Hexiwu, behead!"

"Building a slave with a white flag inlaid with it will give you the title of Shiku Banner! Three battles at Qingshui Mingyue Pass, beheaded!"

One after another, the banners of Jiannu, who used to be invincible in Gyeonggi, were trampled under their feet and turned into a few rags. This scene immediately made the people cheer and applaud endlessly.

"Nanzhong barbarians must be practicing the demon method, using the sound of demon drums to confuse people's minds, and the soldiers will be at the mercy of others like puppets. Otherwise, it would be Qi Jiguang back then, and he would not be able to practice so many soldiers as one. !"

In the restaurant on the side of Zhengyangmen, several well-dressed shopkeepers looked down at the passing teams on the street through the doors on the second floor, talking in a low voice with a Shanxi accent.

Having said that, the soldiers downstairs are still marching in unison.

"Masters, it's not unfair to lose, it's a sorcerer's trick, not a crime of war! If you encounter this army in the future, you must be prepared with black dog blood!"

The thunderous sound of horseshoes came from far and near, causing the cups and plates on the table to tremble slightly. These scouts hurriedly stretched their heads out to observe the march of the Nanzhong Army's cavalry.

The war horse trotted all the way over in small steps, and naturally it was impossible to keep pace.However, in the eyes of knowledgeable people.All the war horses are moving forward on one horizontal plane, and people and horses are almost shoulder to shoulder.

The cavalry held their spears high in their hands, hundreds of spears kept at the same height, like a forest of guns growing out of the flat ground.

The sound of hooves, guns, and armor constitute the most important impression of the cavalry.

"Uncle Erhu, the horses and armor of these officers and soldiers are good! It's just that their riding skills are not very good! It's not as good as Russian riding!" A half-grown man spoke his opinion to the adults around him with a strong Shaanxi accent.

"Exactly! I also feel that such a good horse is in vain in their hands! I don't know how they defeated the Tartars!"

Liu Tichun, known as Uncle Two Tigers, also sneered at the cavalry of the South China Army.

"However, their horses can run like this, but our old battalion cavalry can't do it!"

Behind the cavalry.Still a long queue.On each car, there are three coffins, on which are written the names of the soldiers who died in the South China Army, where they died in battle, and what their military exploits were during their lifetime.

Seeing these dozens of large vehicles approaching slowly.From the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp maintaining order to the common people watching the excitement.They all knelt down.Salute and cry.

Near noon, the three soldiers lined up by the Jinshui Bridge in front of Ma Chengtian Gate.

In front of their respective queues, they all put their own military exploits at the forefront.Qin Bing lined up Gao Yingxiang's prison car and a dozen beheaded bandit leaders in front of the formation.On the other hand, the Tianxiong Army and the Nanzhong Army placed cartloads of Jiannu heads in front of the formation.Among the first military vehicles.Two captured Xianghongqi and Xianghongqi Mongolian Baoyi, Yu Ding, armored man and other characters were kneeling on each kneeling.

Facing the direction of the Meridian Gate, Jin Yiwei had already dispatched [-] Han generals, with embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists and eagle-beaked spears in their hands, lined up on both sides.Next to them are civil and military officials with neat crowns and robes and shoes, also holding wat boards, standing in groups according to the rules of Wendong Wuxi.

According to the old practice of presenting Japanese captives captured by North Korea during the Wanli period, the Ministry of Rites set up a royal seat for Chongzhen on the Meridian Gate Tower, and set up Lizuo Kaile downstairs.It is assumed that the prisoner offering is located in Shaonan in front of the building, the prisoner offering general school is located in the north, and the Ministry of Punishment Shangshuzuo is located in the north of the general school, all facing north.It is also set that the prisoner of the Ministry of punishment is located in the west of the place where the prisoner is offered, facing east.Set the Lubu case in the middle of the inner road, facing south.Shoulubu is located in the east of the case, and Chengzhi is located in the northeast of the case, all facing west.Xuanlubu is located in the south of Wenwu Ban, facing north.

Hong Chengchou, who took the lead in offering prisoners, lifted the hem of his official uniform, trotted all the way across the Jinshui Bridge, knelt down under the city tower, and loudly reported: "Minister! Hong Chengchou, ordered to suppress thieves in Shaanxi! Relying on the second ancestor Liezong Tianwei, thanks to the great blessing of the Holy Majesty, won the death power of the soldiers, fortunately he did not disgrace his life, captured the leader of the bandit, Chuang Nigao Yingxiang, in Heishui, Zhouzhi County, and presented it to His Majesty, please Your Majesty! "

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment led the left and right servants to go out to perform duties, and knelt on the imperial road, and the two servants knelt tightly on the left and right sides.Feng Ying, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who is known as the Great Sikou, announced his official title, first name and surname, and the names of his left and right servants loudly to Chongzhen who was sitting on the top of the Meridian Gate. Slash! Let's go to Shicao for execution, please order."

This probably means that the crime is so heinous that not killing is not enough to anger the people, not killing people is not enough to correct people's hearts, and that they should be taken to the execution ground and shot immediately.Oh, it seems that executions were not popular in those days.That Shangshu end is a good role, a long paragraph, every word is sonorous and forceful, loud and soothing.After speaking, the three of them immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, waiting for Chongzhen's will.

"Take it!"

Today's etiquette is completely carried out in accordance with the rules of offering captive Japanese pirates during the Wanli period, and even the lines of the emperor and ministers and nobles are prepared in the same way.

"Take it!"

Standing beside Chongzhen, the two selected honorable relatives with high morals and high morals shouted loudly.

"Take it!"

The two turned into four and stopped drinking loudly.

"Take it!"

Four people become eight people, and eight people become 16 people.

The sound passed from the Meridian Gate to the Tianjie like a rolling thunder, and the onlookers on the Tianjie shouted loudly together with 360 big Han generals.It was spread all the way to the prison car where Gao Yingxiang was imprisoned.Gao Yingxiang, who was dressed in a red shirt, was escorted by a hundred families in brocade clothes, and ten Jinyi banner schoolmen shoved him out of the West Chang'an Gate, where he was escorted by Feng Ying and Feng Shangshu of the Criminal Department to Xishi for execution.

Gao Yingxiang, the Chuang Wang who spanned several provinces, ate [-] knives in Xishi, Beijing, and went to heaven wearing a big red robe.

Next, Lu Xiangsheng and Li Shouhan presented prisoners.

Lu Xiangsheng also followed the rules, but he was just a few military leaders and a few powerful officers.

but.When he arrived at Shouhan's place, there were some minor problems.

"Minister! Li Shouhan! Go to Beijing by order! Suppress the rebels in Liaodong, rely on the power of the ancestors, look up to the blessings of your majesty, and use the heroism of the soldiers! First fight in Hexi, then in the pass, captured and beheaded more than [-] heads of rebels One, captured the leaders of the rebels at all levels and soldiers, including Yi Aha, and hundreds of them! Dedicate it to your majesty, please send it to your majesty!"

Qian Qianyi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites standing in the team of civil servants, couldn't help curling his lips.He expressed his disdain for Li Shouhan, a bumpkin nouveau riche from the southern barbarians.

"I'm really ignorant! Whether it's Jiannu or Dongnu, when did you become a traitor in Liaodong?! According to him, Jiannu's entrance was plundered, which is obviously an external invasion. It's the same as the rogue bandits. Has it become an internal problem?! Really? Really ridiculous!"

his opinion.Immediately got the approval of several ministers around.

"The old gentleman really hit the nail on the head. For those who relied on military merits to make progress, they bribed the Holy One with money, silk, food and rice. We are ashamed to be with the righteous people of the first class!"

"Take it!"

Chongzhen's shout came from the city tower again.

"Take it!"

The sound was passed down and spread all the way to Tianjie, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, "Take it!"

Like a turbulent wave, like a thunderbolt, the captive Aha in coat and the leaders of Mongolia inlaid with red flags were paralyzed. Hundreds of soldiers of the South China Army would rush forward like wolves and tigers like goshawks and rabbits. Take the Jiannu captives to Xishi or behead them, or Lingchi.Inevitably, Feng Shangshu had to do more work.

On the same day, after completing a series of ceremonies for presenting captives, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the supervisor of ceremonies, proclaimed an edict to celebrate the two great victories, expelling the slaves and leaving the customs. Two steamed buns, half a catty of wine.

All meritorious officers and soldiers are given wine and food.

A banquet was held in the Qianqing Palace to reward the meritorious soldiers of all armies.

Order the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and other ministries to discuss the matter of Chongzhen's opening of Enke in ten years.

That night, in the Qianqing Palace, Shou Han encountered a small nail.

Naturally, you can't eat and drink casually at the banquet given by the emperor, but when the banquet started, Chongzhen announced with great interest that today the monarch and his ministers are having fun together, so you don't have to stick to etiquette, just take it easy!

After drinking for three rounds, Chongzhen, on a whim, toasted to each table under the service of several courtiers. This was something he had never done since he ascended the throne, and all the ministers were panicked for a while.

After the Chongzhen toast was over, the three meritorious ministers toasted one by one, showing off their glory everywhere.

However, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are nothing more than that, they have a lot of relationships with colleagues in the same department, the same year, the same country, and colleagues, and everyone will not embarrass them on such an occasion, and there must be a lot of praise.

However, when Shou Han arrived, something happened.

Shou Han, accompanied by Wang Dehua, came to various places.Wang Dehua introduced the officials' official positions, names, hometowns, etc. to him.After two tables, came the third seat.

"My lords, General Dragon and Tiger, Governor-General Nanzhong Bingma Qianliang and Master Li are here to celebrate your birthday, please!"

But the crowd didn't see it, they still drank and ate food on their own, talking about poems and songs, and discussing in low voices which singers and actors in the mansion are good.

"My lords, Mr. Li is ordered to celebrate the longevity of all kings, please!"

Wang Dehua's voice also raised an octave, which obviously did not take him as a eunuch with a pen in his eyes.

"Eunuch Wang, I have something to ask General Li for advice."

"It turned out to be Minister Qian, please tell me." Wang Dehua intentionally reminded Li Shouhan that the person in front of him was Qian Qianyi, who was known as the Three Great Masters of Jiangzuo, and he was the prodigal Yanqing who was recorded in the Donglin General Record.

"It turned out to be this old bastard! Your water is too cold!"

"I don't understand something, so I asked General Li for advice. How can I ask? Since the Kingdom of China, the governors of all places have been scholars and come from a family background. I don't know how famous General Li is? How can he be in charge of the Nanzhong Army's horse money and food? He also supervises the suppression of Guangdong and Guangxi? "

This is clearly a slap in the face!The few attendants around Shou Han couldn't hold back and wanted to give the old bastard with a proud face an education that touched his body and soul, but Shou Han stopped him with his eyes.

"I don't know how famous Master Qian is?"

Shou Han drank the imperial wine in his cup in one gulp, you're a good old man, I won't drink with you anymore!

"A low-ranking official but not talented. In the 38th year of Wanli, there were three first-class Jinshi."

"Mr. Qian is the Tanhua Lang back then! His writing is so romantic, he is the best!" An official seated at the same seat couldn't stop praising Qian Qianyi.

"It turned out to be Tanhua! Disrespectful! Compared to Tanhualang, Li is very ashamed, and has a little fame. However, despite Li's fame, he can know a few words, and he wholeheartedly admires the teachings of saints. Occasionally, I got one of the five unique poems, all of you adults are masters of this way, I wonder if all of you adults can judge one or two?"

"Oh? It's said that General Li is good at killing the enemy, but they didn't know that General Li could also compose poetry?"

"Exactly! I don't know if the rhyme matches? Is the writing neat?"

"Li has always believed that poetry expresses aspirations, which are only expressed in the heart. It is not like sticking to rhyme and rhythm."

"Oh! General Li's high opinion! I also hope that I will show you my masterpiece, and I will just listen to it."

In an instant, the Qianqing Palace, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, and all the eyes in the palace turned to Shou Han.

"Where did Xia Song ever rise up? Han Qi is not surprising. The chariots of dragons and tigers are full of rivers, and they are still talking about military opportunities."

Shou Han finished reading these four poems aloud, and cupped his hands to Qian Qianyi: "This poem by the official was written when I returned to my teacher from Qingshui Mingyue Pass that day. I also hope that Tan Hualang can give me advice."

Slap in the face, this is a big slap in the face!

Xia Song and Han Qi are both models of literati leading troops, and they are good at being powerful, which caused the Song Dynasty to lose successively in the war against Xixia, and the soldiers lost a lot of money and food.

"Li is not talented, and I hope you gentlemen can give me a few crooked poems."

Wang Dehua on the side was so happy that his mouth was crooked. This Governor Li is really a wonderful person.Using such a poem to scold this group of scholars is a disaster for the country and has the skills to defend against the enemy's trash. Not to mention, let you comment on how our poem is written?Isn't this just like asking that person to say whether the strength and angle need to be adjusted after pumping someone with a big mouth?

As the leader of Donglin, Qian Qianyi has long included Li Shouhan, who flattered the king and colluded with eunuchs, into the ranks of eunuchs.However, at this moment, seeing that the faces of the people being run over by the guards turned red and white, but they couldn't get angry, they rolled their eyes and thought of a way to change the topic.

"When the adults offered captives during the day, why did they call the captives of Jiannu and the bandits together as thieves? This seems to be inconsistent with the system? You must know that since Wanli, Jiannu has frequently violated the world, and after the change of Jisi, it has repeatedly Entering the customs and looting..."

"What nonsense!"

Hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Shou Han couldn't help throwing his cup on the ground.

"Liaodong has been my land of China since ancient times! Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, there are many historical books, all of which can be used as evidence! Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we have set up official post stations in various places in Liaodong, and included Liaodong into our Daming map. The establishment of the commander and envoy to manage the people in this area! Why do you talk about the word "violating the boundary"?! And the old slave family has been our Ming officials for generations, and the old slave himself was the commander of the Jianzhou Guard at that time! These, you money Your Excellency is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, how can you not know?!"

"Today's Jiannu is Yang Yinglong from Bozhou during Shenzong's time. Although he ruled the roost for a while and plundered all directions, they are all traitors and thieves of our Ming Dynasty. They are not called bandits or bandits. What do you call them?!"

"His Majesty!"

Shou Han turned around and knelt down to Chongzhen who was sitting on the throne, and began to play.

"Your Majesty, please order the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Three Law Departments to issue arrest documents at sea, arresting Huang Taiji and others!" (To be continued...)
