Prince Zheng's Mansion.

After retiring from the court, Prince Zheng and his uncle's regent Zilharang returned to the palace with mixed feelings.

He suddenly felt that the world was both familiar and strange.

What is familiar is that the enemy is still the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners are still there.

What is strange is that outside the ancestral land of the Qing Dynasty, things are no longer human, the first emperor Taiji, the traitor Dolgon, the prince of Li Daishan, the prince of Yu Duoduo, the prince of Ying Azig, the prince of Su Haoge, and the king of Raoyu County Abatai......

These familiar people are gone!

Some only the garbage goods such as Prince Fei Yangguo and Runaway Ezhen Ahshan are left, and there are few veterans.

There are also Hong Chengchou, Zu Zerun, and Wu Sangui, these capricious two or five boys.

The decline of the banner people, the rise of the Han people, the current Qing Dynasty, where is the previous Qing Dynasty? I'm afraid that there is just an empty name of the Qing Dynasty.

Zilharang didn't know how long he could carry the banner of the Qing Dynasty.

The only way to change all this is to reshuffle the forces of all parties through war.

Just like the Sui and Tang dynasties, in order to get rid of the shackles of the Guanlong group, they took the initiative to launch a war against Goguryeo, so as to weaken the strength of the Guanlong group.

In the last wave of war, the Han army flag and the Korean flag suffered heavy losses, giving the Manchu power an opportunity to rise.

This time, Jierharang took the initiative to ask for help, and dragged Hong Chengchou into the water, in order to make a gamble.

This is a gamble on national fortune, and it is also the last chance for the internal reshuffle of the Qing Dynasty!

If you lose, you're all finished!

Won, the people get up and be the master again!

After decades of ups and downs, Zilharang witnessed the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the helplessness of the Qing Dynasty, and the helplessness of the Manchurians, and finally decided to embark on his own journey.

He decided to give up a stable and comfortable life, promise the country with his body, and rebuild the world!

This national war is related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty must fight the country!

On the second day, in the name of his uncle, the regent, Zilharang issued an order: Manchuria's Eight Banners, all out!

Whether they wear armor or not, as long as they are men over the age of thirteen, all of them will fight!

Women and children are also all with the army, pushing grain and grass, dealing with miscellaneous affairs, etc.!

The meaning of Zilharang is very clear, except for children, all the banner men must go to the battlefield to defend their families and the country, and win this battle!

As a result, a total of about 40,000 soldiers were dispatched this time.

Jierharang equipped the Eight Banners Army with all the warhorses, weapons, and artillery in the provinces and prefectures around Shengjing.

He also organized all the elites of the Eight Banners who had been on the battlefield from the Eight Banners Army into a separate army, called the Eight Banners Division, with 10,000 cavalry in the division, all of whom had war horses and armor and were well-equipped.

In order to encourage the Eight Banners Army to go on the expedition, Hong Chengchou, in the name of the regent of the emperor's father, ordered the household department to transport 10,000 stone and two meters of baggage to Pyongyang, and support it as soon as possible!

In the past few days, the entire Qing Kingdom was full of touching pictures of the old sending the young and the sons sending their fathers.

February 16.

The Dajiao field outside Shengjing City is like a sea of flags, and the soldiers and horses of the Qing army with different flags and different armor line up.

In the 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners and 50,000 Han Army Banners arrayed in the teaching field, the crowd was like a sea, and the swords and guns were like a forest.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners stood solemnly, especially the array of the Eight Banners was more neat, they were all young and strong people who were reluctant to send out, and of course there were many young soldiers who were only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Each of these bannermen wore iron helmets and armor inlaid with iron cotton, some carried huge full bows, and some carried pitch-black fire guns.

In the center of the military array full of eight banners, there are more elite Eight Banner divisions, each of them has war horses around them, and all of them are strong, wearing two heavy iron armors, and the protection is more sophisticated.

The cavalry of the 10,000 Eight Banner Division stood solemnly, and invisibly a Ling Ran's iron-blooded aura spread out, showing even more majesty in the solemn ceremony.

They are veterans of the Eight Banners who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are the most elite army in the entire Qing Dynasty!

Because of their existence, the Han military banner had some scruples and did not dare to desperately suppress the Manchurians.

Now, they want to make a final roar for the Qing Dynasty!

"Woo! Woo! Woo~"

A low horn sounded, followed by gongs and drums, and the Qing Emperor's great horse slowly drove out of the north gate of Shengjing.

In the dense yellow umbrella cover, the little emperor of Shunzhi, Fu Lin, was wearing a full-style dragon robe, sitting in the luan, looking depressed and having some stage fright.

The emperor's father, the regent Hong Chengchou, the uncle regent Jierharang, the king of Pingxi, Wu Sangui, the king of Jingnan, Zuo Guangxian, and other civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, followed the imperial driver.

In the sound of suona, the little emperor of Shunzhi, Fu Linqin, led the Qing Dynasty civil and military officials to carry out a ritual of worshipping the gods.

This is the traditional practice of the Qing Dynasty, every time you go out to worship the gods, you must have a ritual of worshipping God, as for who to worship, what is about the Holy Emperor, the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva or something, you have to go around.

(In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was popular to worship Emperor Guan, and when there was a major disaster, the emperor would send the celebrant eunuch to worship the Guandi Temple outside the Zhengyang Gate; Emperor Wanli also personally mentioned words to the Guandi Temple;

In history, when Hong Chengchou faked his death in the Songjin War, Chongzhen also sent officials to worship the Guandi Temple and repaired the altar for Hong Chengchou; When Zhang Xun restored the Qing Dynasty during the Republic of China, he also led the pigtailed army to worship the Guandi Temple. ）

However, when the little emperor of Shunzhi was worshipping the sky, there was a little situation.

The cow used to sacrifice to the sky couldn't be stabbed to death, and the Ouchi guards kicked it, cut it with a knife, and stabbed it with a sword, and they didn't kill this sacred cow after tossing it several times.

In the end, Hong Chengchou took out the rotating handgun developed by Daming and fired several shots in a row before he cleaned up this vigorous cow.

In the feudal and superstitious Qing Dynasty, civil and military officials all discussed a lot, and some people felt that this matter was unlucky, and it was safer to choose a new day to go on the expedition.

Hong Chengchou transcended the limitations of the times, fully demonstrated the fearless spirit of not believing in ghosts and gods, and insisted on going out today!

There is no way, who made him the emperor's godfather, the ceremony has to continue.

After offering the bull head cake wine and hanging the paper money, in a burst of lively trumpets and suona sounds, the little emperor of Shunzhi first kowtowed to the sky, and then the princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in turn.

Subsequently, the eunuch read the holy decree in front of the three armies, appointing his uncle regent Zilharang as the general of Jingbei, and ordered him to lead the Eight Banners to garrison the important town of Pyongyang and repel the Ming army in the north!

Appointed the regent of the imperial father, Hong Chengchou, as the general of Dingguo, and ordered him to lead the Han Eight Banners to Zhongzhou in person to repel the Ming army in the south!

In fact, this decree was written by Hong Chengchou and only issued in the name of the emperor.

After the eunuch read the will, the little emperor of Shunzhi took a long breath and came to his uncle's regent, the regent Zilharang.

With tears in his eyes, he whispered, "Take care of your uncle......."

Zilharang also felt that the emperor had finally grown up and knew that his uncle was more reliable than his godfather!

He stepped forward and knelt down and shouted: "God bless the Qing Dynasty, the old minister will not fail in his mission, fight to the death, and repel the Nanban!" ”

"Uncle ....."

Fu Lin's tears fell uncontrollably.

Zilharang looked helpless, he wanted to take the little emperor to conquer in person.

Even if he is defeated, he can learn from the Southern Song Dynasty and drag the little emperor to the sea to die for the country!

But the old thief Hong won't let it! I am determined to leave the little emperor in Shengjing to take care of his family, and he is not allowed to leave half a step!

In Hong Chengchou's meaningful smile, three sharp cannons sounded, and the army officially started.

In the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing State poured out the country and sent troops to resist the Ming Dynasty.

The banner is like the sea, the boundless crowd spreads all over the land, the main force of the 90,000 Qing army, the soldiers are divided into two roads, they go their separate ways, gallop to the north and south, leaving only the orphans and widows of the little emperor of Shunzhi to stay in the empty city of Shengjing.
