In the city of Jining, it is more lively than usual.

In addition to the business travelers and scholars, there are also Yangge teams and lion dance teams from other places, and the opera troupe also set up a play in the most prosperous place in the city.

This is not an ordinary wild stage opera, not even those troupes in the state and county governments, this is the most famous Julong class in Shandong.

It was precisely after hearing the news that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was going to pass through Jining when he returned to Beijing, that Julongban put down his trip to Denglai Erfu and came to Jining instead.

The proprietor of Julongban understands very well that the Son of Heaven just passes through the city from Jining, but this Jining City will be lively for at least half a month.

Jining, which has developed into a prosperous place closest to the south of the Yangtze River in Shandong due to the circulation of the canal, has greatly promoted the prosperity of commerce and trade in the place.

Jining in the past half month is a gathering place for all kinds of businessmen and literati, and the harvest of singing on stage is far higher than that in other places.

Zhu Youxiao and a cadre of civil servants and military generals behind him all slowed down their horses, held the reins of their horses in one hand, and walked through the official road through the city in Jining.

It is not only to enjoy the rare lively scene in front of you, but also to be afraid of hurting the children frolicking along the street.

Zhu Youxiao's example made the entire team, from the stewards in front of the emperor, the important ministers of the cabinet, to an ordinary escort cavalry, become cautious.

The crowd rode horses or walked in the middle of the wide streets, too, in great glory.

On both sides of the street, four towns and eight villages, all prefectures and prefectures, and even the villages and towns that are hundreds of miles around, were all swept away, and the people all came early to occupy the place with chairs.

One is to meet the current emperor, and the other is to watch the big drama of Julongban.

Zhu Youxiao held the reins of the horse in one hand and carried the imperial sword at his waist, and as soon as he entered Jining City, he actually heard the sound of firecrackers that can only be found during the New Year's Festival.

The sound of firecrackers thundered in the ears, and the sound of gongs and drums, suona, and the noise of cars and horses in the city, the sound of buying and selling, shouting and bargaining, and the sound of calling children and daughters, converged into one and sounded in front of Zhu Youxiao's horse.

Because there was a special decree before, saying that the royal car passed along the way, the people and business travelers did not have to salute and wait, and they could act independently.

What Zhu Youxiao saw was a serious scene of folk prosperity, which was completely different from the late Qing Dynasty depicted in later textbooks, their eyes exuded vigor and vitality, and there was a sea of people in front of them.

Of course, it is the local government that is nervous.

But the military and political leaders of Jining have suffered, this time the Emperor of the Apocalypse passed by here, and they held a small meeting for several days in a row.

It is not only necessary to contact the garrison of the guard station and clear the bandits' nests in advance, but also to dispatch all the official forces on the same day to try their best to maintain order.

lest some people enter the queue and collide with the royal car.

Coming to the most prosperous central street in Jining City, the opening scenes of Julongban's traditional sense of "Fortune and Treasure" and "Opening the Door to See Joy" have all been performed.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived, he saw that "The Legend of Yue Fei" was playing on the stage, and immediately smiled.

Xu is news in the palace spread, and when he was in the palace, he liked to read Yue Fei's books and listen to Yue Fei's plays, which spread among the people.

But this is not a big deal, Yue Fei's resistance to Jin is in line with the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a good thing to cultivate the hatred of the people towards Jianyi.

With just this smile, local officials remembered Julongban's performance this time.

As for whether to ask Julongban to cooperate with the government in the future, or how to reward it, these are all matters for local officials.

Zhu Youxiao did not stop for half a minute, and led a large army and horses straight through the city, waiting for him to return to preside over the overall situation in the Beijing division in the distance.

Although the imperial horse of the Emperor of the Apocalypse had traveled a long way, the escorted horse team still entered the city from the south gate, and there was no end in sight.

With the passing of the horse team, the atmosphere of Jining City reached a climax, and at this moment in Liaodong, Fuyuwei, the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and Jurchen generals are also staging a battle for me.

......

Mount Haravin.

In the mountains and forests of eastern Liaodong, the white belly of a fish has appeared, and the Harawen Mountain, surrounded by dense shade and grass, still seems to be sleeping.

According to the locals, this is an ancient mountain that is well versed in spirituality, and Genghis Khan came here to unify the Mongolian tribes and conquer the east and west.

The king Khan of the Mongolian Kelieyiti tribe was defeated by Gul Khan and fled to this mountain, Genghis Khan led a large army to conquer here, and sealed Mu Heli as the local king Khan, and the eastern border of the Mongol Empire at that time was to this mountain.

As the sun sets, the bleak mountain wind beats the trees to the ground, and there is silence in all directions.

Occasionally, one or two startled birds sprang out and flew over the treetops with a "whoosh", causing a wave of waves, which was the only change in Haravan Mountain at ordinary times.

Not long ago, the Horqin Five-Division Coalition Army was like a bamboo, and successively wiped out several small tribes that belonged to Fuyuwei.

After these small tribes, the next to be defeated was the Kulen tribe.

The Kulun tribe is actually a Jurchen tribe, which was attached to Yehe in the early years and participated in the battle of the Jurchen Nine Divisions under the leadership of Yehe's leader Jin Taiji.

The story of the Kulen tribe being exiled here is still very interesting.

The Yehe tribe is the leader of the Jurchen tribes specially blessed by the Wanli court.

At first, Emperor Wanli was not very worried about the Jianzhou Jurchens, and when he heard about the constant offense of Jianzhou, he only issued an order to urge Ye Hebu to suppress the Jurchens.

Later, the conflict between Nurhachi and the Yehnara clan deepened.

Bu Zhai, the leader of the Haixi Jurchen Yehe tribe, united with nine tribes, including Ula, Huifa, Hada, Kulun and Mongolian Horqin, to promote an alliance and send troops to conquer Jianzhou, which did not obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongol coalition of Haixiyeh and Nurhachi fought at Gul Mountain.

In that battle, due to the disunity of the minds of Ye He and other nine tribes, Nurhachi saw through it, so they defeated the nine coalition forces.

In the battle, the Six Banners of Jianzhou under the leadership of Nurhachi almost crushed the nine Jurchen tribes of Haixi in terms of combat effectiveness and tactics.

In this battle, Bu Zhai, the leader of the Haixi Jurchen League supported by the Ming Dynasty, was killed, Bu Zhantai, the leader of the Ula tribe, was captured alive, and Noyan Han, the leader of the Kulun tribe, was also defeated by Haoge in a separate competition and was killed.

The result of this battle was unexpected by the Wanli court, which also attracted the attention of the Wanli Emperor and important members of the court.

After discussion, the Wanli Dynasty decided to continue to support the Haixi Jurchens, and urged the Liaodong generals to launch a military campaign against Jianzhou to show the tough attitude of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, Yehebu is the leader of the Jurchen tribes appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and his power is strong, although Nurhachi defeated the Haixi coalition army, it has attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty, and it is still difficult to open the situation.

After that, Nurhachi adopted what Hanchen Fan Wencheng called the strategy of "long-distance and close attack, division and disintegration, and individual breakthroughs".

But soon, Nurhachi's intention to pretend to surrender was seen through by the Wanli court.

With the approval of Emperor Wanli, the Battle of Sarhu, which decided the situation in Liaodong in the next few years, broke out.

Just when everyone thought that Nurhachi would suffer the consequences of his own evil and be destroyed by the Ming army, the result of the battle of Sarhu surprised Yehe and other troops.

The Ming court army, known as 200,000, under the command of Yang Hao, implemented the strategy of "dividing and attacking together, and meeting divisions in one place", so it was defeated by Nurhachi one by one and was defeated.

Juniper North Road was completely annihilated by Nurhachi, and Liu Wei, known as the first fierce general, was also defeated and killed.

Only Li Rusong's Liaodong Army completely withdrew from Salhu.

Since then, the Wanli Emperor has become seriously ill, and the Ming army has switched from offensive to defensive.

Nurhachi expanded the Six Banners into Eight Banners, and began to claim to be undefeated, and the news that the Jianzhou Iron Cavalry was invincible also spread far and wide.
