Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 70: Fight to the bitter end, and wash away our sins with the blood of the Qing demons

When Dayuer's sister and her son were taken to Shenyang, Emperor Taizu Gao had already left.

The rest no longer need him.

The new Liaodong military and political system will be rebuilt soon.

And it is no longer limited to the Liaodong border wall.

The Northeast during Zhu Yuanzhang's time was more than just the Liaodong border wall.

At that time, the Ming army still had a navy on the Songhua River.

There is also a shipyard in Jilin.

All of these must be rebuilt in the future, and the Ming army warships must cruise on the Songhua River like they did in the past, and even enter the Heilongjiang River and head straight for Nurgan City.

Similarly, the Daningdusi and Nurgandusi must also be rebuilt, including those garrisons that were originally in name only.

Like Yingchangwei and the like.

This also needs to be rebuilt.

In fact, the next war will continue for a long time.

Whether it's the scattered and fleeing Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty or the various Mongolian tribes on the grasslands, we must resume the conquests of Zhu Yuanzhang's time and rebuild the garrisons. After all, countless people in the Ming Dynasty are looking forward to their military achievements. Furthermore, after resolving the internal wars, a large number of troops must be dealt with. While demobilization is possible, if they have no military achievements, they will be dissatisfied after demobilization. First, let them move to Liaodong and the grasslands to earn their military achievements, and then let them return to their lands of military merit and live as good citizens.

Of course, that was the business of the future Emperor Longwu and Prime Minister Prince Qi.

Emperor Longwu...

There is no suspense about this anymore.

Marco Polo Bridge.

To be precise, it was on the back of the giant dragon hidden above Lugou Bridge.

"You're drooling even after being cured like this."

Yang Feng looked at his great-great-great-great-granddaughter who was severely addicted to the Internet.

The latter is playing games on his mobile phone, and the style is completely otaku-like.

Talking to himself while playing games.

The so-called god changed his previous stinginess of only giving Yang Feng a power bank for his mobile phone, and made sure that the phone was always fully charged and could even connect to the Internet, and there was no need to pay for it. He also ignored all kinds of restrictions and could enter any system except for physical partitions. In short, she could not only play various games for free, but also had various social media accounts.

She has learned how to take selfies and post photos online. Although she doesn’t know how to edit photos without makeup, she still has a lot of fans.

As for the online name...

"Why did you change your name again? I remember you weren't a princess before?"

Yang Feng said.

"Pooh!"

The princess blushed and spit.

Apparently someone had told her that this name was more widely used in modern times.

If this continues, it won't be long before she's venturing into a whole new field.

And at this time...

Below him, on the east bank of Lugou Bridge, 150,000 troops lined up with their backs to the water.

The Lich King under the banner of Zhang was dressed in golden armor and looked very ostentatious.

Like Théoden, he rode before the array of soldiers.

"I've been rebelling for over a decade, killing countless members of the Zhu family and even a bunch of vassal kings, yet Emperor Taizu Gao still pardoned me. Who among you has committed a greater crime than me?"

he shouted.

Indeed, most of his men were theoretically guilty.

Apart from a few like Sun Shoufa, the rest are either rebels or those who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Needless to say, those under Wu Sangui's command, Ma Ke is also a veteran of three dynasties, a real three dynasties, and He Zhen is an old subordinate of Li Zicheng, but he was in Qinlong. But in terms of crimes, the Lich King is indeed at a level that they can only look up to. The number of people who died at his hands alone must be in the tens of thousands.

"The Emperor Taizu Gao has given us face, so we should not be shameless. Today the capital is right before our eyes. Let's take it and let the Emperor Taizu Gao see that we are no longer thieves, but loyal subjects of the Emperor Taizu Gao!

Today, the river is behind me and the capital is in front of me.

Fight to the bitter end, never retreat, and use the blood of the Qing demon to cleanse our sins!"

The Lich King roared, his sword raised.

"If you advance, never retreat!"

"If you advance, never retreat!"

……

The soldiers roared excitedly.

"This guy is also an acting talent!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

Then his gaze turned the other way.

The Qing army with its back to the capital was also forming a battle line. It was obvious that facing the Lich King at the gates of the city, Dorgon still maintained his pride.

He disdains to hide behind city walls.

He wanted to fight a fair and just battle and defeat those who dared to offend his majesty in one fell swoop.

Of course, the main reason is that he has no other choice.

At this time, Prince Huai was already attacking Linqing, and Prince Yi had already crossed the Yellow River in Zhengzhou to attack Weihui.

But Prince Yi was the slowest.

Because Li Guo, the vanguard of King Gui, crossed the river at Mengjin before him, but entered Tianjing Pass immediately afterwards.

It is estimated that he wanted to attack Zhending before Prince Yi and cut off Prince Yi's way to the north.

They are still competing.

After all, they did not think Zhang Xianzhong had the ability to capture the capital.

On the contrary, if Zhang Xianzhong failed, it would weaken the Qing army, making it much easier for them to attack the capital. Therefore, the more they faced such a situation, the more they should not lose heart. Instead, they should be the first to reach the nearest point to the capital, await the news of Zhang Xianzhong's defeat, and then rush to the capital at full speed to strike a blow against Dorgon and complete their victory. Ultimately, no one was optimistic about Zhang Xianzhong. His 150,000-man army was not a motley crowd, but at least a patchwork, with some historically hostile forces. Meanwhile, the capital consisted of 30,000 Eight Banner Manchus, 10,000 Mongols, and 20,000 Datu troops. Dorgon was no exception. So, faced with Zhang Xianzhong at the gates, he chose not to defend himself, but to march out of the city to fight a decisive battle, proving with victory that the Qing Dynasty was still invincible.

Unless the enemy cheats!
"Enter!"

Zhang Xianzhong's roar rang out amid the sound of war drums.

"Enter!"

Dorgon's roar also moved forward.

The decisive battle between the 200,000-strong army took place between the capital and the Lugou River.

And at this time...

Chaoyang Gate.

The Eight Banners Army officer guarding the gate looked outside vigilantly.

There were thousands of defeated soldiers outside.

Each of them had a rat tail on their head, some had crooked helmets and armor, and some had no armor at all. They were standing or squatting, with the joy of surviving the disaster and the fatigue of the long escape, and some even lay on the ground. They had no demeanor of the Eight Banners warriors at all.

"Open the door quickly, you bunch of bastards, you don't even recognize me?"

A young general on horseback outside the city gate shouted angrily.

"Your Highness? Weren't you in Tianjin? Why are you back?"

An officer on the city wall said in astonishment.

"Idiot, why do I have to report to you when I come back? Open the door!"

The latter said angrily.

"Open the door quickly!"

The officer said quickly.

"The Regent has issued an order. Without the Regent's order, the door cannot be opened to anyone who comes."

An officer of the Eight Banners Army said.

"This is the prince, this is the Prince of Yanxi. How can he be treated the same as others? The Regent is currently engaged in a war. Is he going to ask for permission for such a trivial matter? This is the eldest grandson of Prince Li and the nephew of the Regent."

The officer said angrily.

The Eight Banners Dajun were now even more favored by the Regent. They guarded the gates of the capital and were solely responsible to Dorgon himself. After all, the Eight Banners Manchus were constantly fleeing, but the Eight Banners Dajun were different. They were restrained by their internal elders and would not flee, let alone surrender to the enemy. Han Xin had already been carrying out a thorough purge in the south, brutally killing the Dajun throughout the region, and even forcing some to rebel, only to be crushed by the imperial army. Therefore, the Eight Banners Dajun's will to resist was stronger than that of the Eight Banners Manchus.

Eight Banners Army officers...

He turned his head to look in the direction of Lugou Bridge. There was a dense sound of gunfire coming from there, and even the color of the sky was a little strange. It was obvious that smoke was rising. The war had already begun. It was indeed not appropriate to ask for permission. He stood there hesitantly, looking at the defeated soldiers outside. They were indeed all defeated.

"Open the door!"

He said.

The officer immediately came down from the city wall, and they quickly opened the city gate. The officer then opened the gate of the city wall and knelt down to welcome them.

Daishan's eldest grandson, Prince Duoluo Yanxi of the Qing Dynasty, and also the Tianjin defender Luo Luohun, immediately entered the city.

"Your Highness, Tianjin?"

the officer asked cautiously.

"It's lost, and you still need to ask? The Southern Army shipped 100,000 troops by sea and landed in Gegu. How can I defend it with just a few thousand people? The city is full of unruly people. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been skinned alive by now. I asked the Regent for reinforcements several times but he didn't respond. What can I do now?"

Luo Luohun said angrily.

"Your Highness, Zhang Xianzhong has gathered an army of 150,000 to launch a surprise attack on the capital. They are already outside the city. How can the Regent have any more troops?"

The officer said sadly.

"Ugh!"

Luo Luohun sighed.

Then he urged his horse into the city.

The fleeing soldiers behind him rushed in.

Soon they passed the city wall and entered the main city gate, and the Eight Banners Army officer was waiting inside with his subordinates to greet them. Luo Luohun looked at him, snorted coldly in annoyance, and then walked straight forward. The Eight Banners Army officer silently watched the soldiers entering the city gate, who passed by him continuously.

"stop!"

He suddenly shouted.

At the same moment he took a step forward and reached out to grab a soldier.

The latter wore a helmet on his head.

In fact, while there were many rat-tails in the front of these fleeing soldiers, the proportion of those wearing helmets was increasing towards the back. This man looked clean-faced. Although he couldn't be described as delicate and tender, he was definitely not one of those rough guys. He was a little slow to react, and the officer knocked his helmet askew, revealing a little hair underneath. He was stunned for a moment, and so was the officer, but then he drew his sword.

The latter reacted a little late, but...

He drew his flintlock.

"boom!"

Gunfire suddenly rang out.

The officer, who had drawn his knife and was about to stab, fell backwards with a look of frozen astonishment on his face as the bullet hit him.

"Do it!"

Luo Luohun in front roared.

He drew his sword as quickly as possible and chopped down the officer who was holding his horse.

The latter looked at him blankly, obviously never expecting the prince to chop him.

Luo Luohun wiped his mouth and tore off the beard that was stuck on it.

At the same time, the defeated soldiers who followed him into the city all rushed towards the nearest Eight Banners Army soldiers at the fastest speed, especially the man in front. After emptying one flintlock pistol, he immediately threw it to the soldier following him, then pulled out the second one and rushed up the city wall at the fastest speed. An Eight Banners Army soldier was rushing towards the Qianjin Gate, and he raised his hand and shot him down. At the same time, more soldiers with pistols rushed up the city wall behind him. Amid the chaotic gunfire, the Eight Banners Army soldiers fell one after another.

And soldiers outside the city continued to pour in.

At this time, a group of young men ran out from both sides of the street and looked at the melee at the city gate in confusion.

"The royal army is entering the city, hurry up and welcome the royal army! The Nanyang King's army of the Ming Dynasty has entered the city. The Han people are innocent, and all those who have purged themselves from the Eight Banners will be pardoned!
I, a prince, have already been castrated, what are you still worried about?"

Luo Luohun shouted.

"I am Zheng Sen, son of the Earl of Nan'an, the General of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty. The Prince of Nanyang's army of 100,000 has already passed Tongzhou. Once the Prince of Nanyang recaptures the capital, he will become the new emperor. This is the imperial decree of Emperor Taizu Gao. Don't you want to be his loyal subjects? Even though the Eight Banners, apart from the Da Army, have the Emperor Taizu Gao's original promise, Luo Luohun has still surrendered. What are you waiting for? You don't want to be his loyal subjects, but you want to follow Dorgon to your death?"

The young man on the city wall behind shouted.

Those young and strong...

"Hurry up and grab your weapons, become a loyal minister and enjoy wealth and glory!"

"Master Wang is here!"

……

they shouted excitedly.

"Become a loyal minister and enjoy wealth and glory!"

Zheng Sen shouted.

Then he raised his hand and fired another shot, killing a Da Jun who was still trying to crawl towards the gate.

next moment……

A huge dragon head appeared above his head.

"Your name is Zheng Sen, so change it to Chenggong from now on!"

a voice sounded.

Zheng Sen looked up in astonishment, looking at the giant dragon that appeared out of thin air, Emperor Taizu Gao on its back, and of course the princess who was still holding her cell phone. He was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your servant, Zheng Sen, and Zheng Chenggong, pay their respects to the Emperor Taizu Gao, thanking him for bestowing the title upon me."

He said.

"Go back and ask your father why he hasn't wiped out the Dutch yet? Does your Zheng family still want the right to trade at sea? He's so slow on his feet. Does he still have a relationship with the Dutch?"

Yang Feng shouted.

"Reporting to the Emperor Taizu, my father originally intended to wait until after this battle to destroy the Dutch. The waves are high and the water is shallow outside Anpingkou, so we need to wait for high tide to be safe."

Zheng Chenggong quickly explained.

Of course, compared with annihilating the Dutch, being a loyal minister is obviously more important.

Yang Feng ignored him and looked at Luo Luohun who was also kneeling below.

"Stand up, I promised you that I would pardon you as long as you cleanse yourselves, and I will not break my promise."

Yang Feng said.

"My Lord, it's clean. I secretly cleaned it half a year ago. If you don't believe me, you can check it out!"

Luo Luohun was so scared that he quickly explained.

Then he was anxious to show it.

"Alright, alright, I believe it, go get to work!"

Yang Feng shouted.

Then the dragon took off into the air and instantly disappeared into the sky.

At this time, young and strong people continued to pour out from both sides of the street.

As for Longwu...

"This guy has some skills!"

Yang Feng looked towards Tongzhou.

Although what Zheng Chenggong said about Longwu's 100,000-strong army having passed Tongzhou was definitely false, a large number of cavalry had indeed appeared in the east. However, Longwu did not have the ability to transport a large number of cavalry to Tianjin by sea, so it could only go north from Shandong. However, Shandong had the Qing army commanded by Daishan. Although the latter always stayed in Jinan, it was still easy to block him on the south bank of the Qing River.

The only explanation is that Daishan did not intercept him.

"Daishan is old after all, and he has to leave his grandchildren alive."

Yang Feng sneered.

The invisible dragon took him and the princess and flew back to the Lugou Bridge battlefield in a blink of an eye.

And here...

"Kill! The Nanyang King's army has arrived!"

On the chaotic battlefield, Zhang Xianzhong looked towards the east with surprise.

However, he didn't notice that a Qing army officer was aiming at him not far away. He excitedly raised his sword and pointed it at the capital. Suddenly, there was a sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air. He slowly fell to the ground amid the screams of the surrounding guards...
