In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, August 15.

This day is traditionally known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, and for the nearly 70,000 troops of the Pingyu Army, today they will spend this Mid-Autumn Festival in a foreign land.

In the early morning, with an order, the mighty army crossed the Yalu River along the pontoon bridge, and at the same time as the army crossed the river, Zhu Guoqiang, who was riding on a war horse, stood on the small hill by the river under the arch of dozens of generals and guards, staring at this mighty army, Zhu Guoqiang's mind could not help but appear that war song.

"Majestic and high-spirited, crossing the Yalu River, keeping peace, for the motherland, is to protect the hometown, the good sons and daughters of China, unite and ......"

Thinking of the status of a great power forged by the best soldiers in another century with their lives and flesh and blood on this land, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of how those Ming troops smashed the Japanese dream of a great power in Korea during the Wanli expedition to Korea.

And now, once again, the king has crossed this river, and once again launched a final attack on another group of cruel and savage enemies.

As long as this battle is won, Jiannu's threat to Daming will be completely shattered, and they are just meteors, flashing by.

How can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon!

When Zhu Guoqiang was full of ambition and hesitant to stand on the hill by the river and salute the army crossing the river, on the pontoon bridge on the river, Song Laoding, who was wearing a bright cuirasse, carrying a musket and an iron hat, looked a little unsteady in his heart.

After all, after crossing the other side of the Yalu River, you will no longer be a Ming Dynasty, then you are really in a foreign land, if you die there, will you become a lonely ghost in a foreign land.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and even his face became a little ugly. In fact, he is not the only one who thinks so, but many people too.

"After crossing the river, it's North Korea, and you said that we got there in this foreign land. If there's a whatever, it's ......."

"What's it?"

Someone next to him asked.

"Hey, what else could it be? Don't you understand what he means, we went to a foreign country, in case there were three long and two short there, then we would really be a lonely ghost in a foreign land. ”

These words made the other people's hearts a little heavy when they listened, and even their steps became a little, and occasionally they would look back at the land of Liaodong, which was their home.

In the past, they really didn't think that Liaodong was their home, after all, there were not only Shandong people, but also Beizhili people, and Henan people, they came from various provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and each of them had their own hometown in their hearts. But now, when they look back at the land of Liaodong, they feel that it is their home.

The officers on the side heard them. Suddenly said loudly.

"What a foreign country, have you forgotten - wherever the military flag goes, it is all Han land! As long as our iron boots, where he hurts, that's the land of our Ming Dynasty, when we get there, it's our home, it's our territory where we beat it down, how can there be anything exotic——"

The officer's sentence of the military flag was all Han soil, and when everyone's hearts were shocked, the originally chaotic mood also became calm.

Yes, that's right, what's so exotic?

Wherever the military flag goes, it is all Han soil!

This is the Ming Dynasty, and the place they go to is the Han land, which is home......

Thousands of Celestial Empire armies are crossing the river!

For the Koreans, when they saw the Celestial Empire army across the river a few days ago, many of them were overwhelmed with excitement.

The Celestial Empire army is coming!

After not seeing the soldiers of the Celestial Empire for decades, and after being repeatedly bullied by Hulu, these North Koreans have always had a thought in their hearts - Daming's father is here, and he will not ignore North Korea!

And in the past year, in the face of the reality that the country was occupied by Hulu, the only thing that supported the Koreans was probably that Daming's father had not forgotten them - the soldiers of the Celestial Empire established Daifang Fort at the mouth of the Datong River, and they defeated Hulu in Zhengfang Mountain City.

Daming's father will come to get rid of Hu Lu!

It's not today, it's tomorrow!

Finally, today I can't forget that Daming's father sent a soldier from the Celestial Empire.

Yang Zhen, who led a sentry cavalry as the vanguard of the army, appeared on the road in disrepair in North Korea and was on guard along the way, they saw a burst of people coming over in the distance, the wind of the Mid-Autumn Festival was already a little cold, and it was blown by the wind, staring at the crowd of black pressure, Yang Zhen couldn't help but shudder.

"All on alert!"

As they drew their short guns, his subordinate said.

"Whistle Commander Yang, what kind of posture is this?"

After seeing them, the leader didn't say a word, and immediately led everyone to kneel on the side of the road and kowtow to greet them.

"I, the son of the Ming Dynasty and the Korean countryman, Li Zaidao, greet the heavenly soldiers!"

Maybe it was because he was too excited, Li Zaidao, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke, his gray hair trembled, and his face was a little red because of being too excited.

What a gift!

Holding the reins of the horse, Yang Zhen looked at the kneeling North Koreans in surprise.

"This general, the Eastern Capture has been rampant and domineering in the Lower Kingdom for more than a year, and has made us miserable, and now the general has brought the Heavenly Empire and Heavenly Soldiers to come over to pacify the capture. Save our small people from fire and water, and from then on, our Korean people can return to their mother country and live a stable life. ”

Looking at the Korean scholar in front of him, stunned, Yang Zhen hurriedly dismounted and helped Li Zaidao up, and laughed at the same time:

"Fellow villagers, rest assured, I will not let go of a Dongyu, and I will definitely let them come and go. Avenge all the folks! ”

Lee Jae-do had people carry a large wooden barrel, and in the barrel was fragrant meat.

"General, North Korea is barren and poor, the people are poor, and there is nothing to reward the heavenly soldiers, the villain specially ordered his family to prepare some dog meat, please don't dislike it."

A bucket of dog meat, with only a few vegetable leaves, the aroma of dog meat is compelling.

Facing these dog meats, and then looking at these ragged North Koreans, Yang Zhen excused himself:

"Everyone's kindness, I will understand it later, these dog meat and bring it back, I waited for the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and was ordered to cross the river to level the captives, in order to save the Korean people from fire and water, you are so poor, how can you bear to let you work hard."

Although those Korean people couldn't understand Chinese, after knowing through Lee Jae-do's translation, they all knelt on the ground in unison, and they were all grateful to Dade for saying that the heavenly army loves the people so much, and they must sacrifice the army in life and death.

In the face of the enthusiasm of the North Korean people, Yang Zhen and his subordinates were moved to accept the dog meat, but everyone felt a little awkward in their hearts.

"Sentry Commander Yang, I have been an official and soldier for more than 20 years, and I have only seen the people hiding from the army and the disaster, and regarded our soldiers as bandits...... This is uncomfortable! ”

"yes, it's uncomfortable......"

Someone next to them immediately chimed in, no wonder they sighed so much, after all, when they were in the country, not to mention the common people, even the passing cities refused to provide them with food and grass, never treated them as human beings, and even regarded them as bandits. But what about this side? But they are regarded as life-savers, and when the two are compared, they naturally feel a little weird in their hearts.

"Hey, North Korea is really the land of my Ming Dynasty's loyalty!"

For a while, everyone nodded in agreement, and even sighed, it would be good if the gentry and people of the Ming Dynasty were as benevolent and righteous as the Koreans.

In fact, they know that the reason why these Koreans are like this is entirely because they were so badly harmed by Jiannu, and sometimes, when people are harmed, they will think of the good of others.

But now they have been bullied by Donglu for more than a year, and they finally understand that compared to Hulu, how civilized and benevolent the Ming army is, the Ming army is at most to grab food, or to play with a few girls, but Hulu not only robs food, but also kills people, a kill is a village, as for women, people are not playing, but directly snatching away, being a mother, a daughter, a sister, directly snatched away as a slave, and even bullied to death.

Celestial Soldiers!

Righteousness!

It hurts to have comparisons!

There is no comparison where there is harm, just like why the gentry and people in the late Ming Dynasty were willing to surrender at the beginning, but suddenly destroyed their families and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and even the reason why the Liukou were willing to gather under the banner of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Manchus to the end is to put it bluntly, that is, because they have a comparison.

Because of the comparison, they knew that the Manchu Qing really didn't treat them as people, maybe the Ming Dynasty had such and such shortcomings, but at least they still treated the people as people, and they didn't kill them if they wanted to.
