Chapter 283: Arriving in the capital
"Aiqing, Aiqing, in the middle, do you think it's true." Chongzhen saw that there were no other outsiders, so he also said directly.
"This, I think, should be completely true." Zhou Yanru thought about it and said what he thought.
"True?"
"What's going on? So credible? Chongzhen asked expectantly.
"That's the case, the general of this victory, the emperor should be no stranger."
"It is the Yuan Dynasty that has repeatedly made military exploits." Zhou Yanru said to Chongzhen.
"Yuan Dynasty!"
"Yuan Dynasty?"
"Yuan Chao!?"
Chongzhen said repeatedly.
"This Yuan Dynasty, brave in battle and repeatedly made military exploits, it seems that it should indeed be credible."
"However, this is not completely credible. After all, it's 10,000 thieves. Chongzhen still didn't believe it.
"Yes, at the beginning, when I saw the success document, the minister was not only happy, but also a little worried."
"However, the messenger who passed the news told me personally that Yuan Chao and them, each led hundreds of personal soldiers, personally brought the head of the Jin army to Beijing, and even brought hundreds of live prisoners." Zhou Yanru also said with a smile.
"Oh. In this way, it seems to be true. ”
"More than 10,000 heads, ancestors bless, I Daming, it seems that there is really a minister of ZTE, and there is really a hope of ZTE." Chongzhen's eyes were filled with tears of excitement for a moment, for so many years, since he ascended the throne, he has been suffering all kinds of blows, and he has been hung up and beaten by the Jin army.
He tried, but he could only be like a stone thrown into a lake, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again.
Now, there is such good news, there is someone who can break the Jin Army, can make him feel that ZTE is promising, how can he not feel excited.
He is also looking forward to it, looking forward to the entry of the Yuan Dynasty into Beijing this time, and looking forward to stimulating this twilight empire again.
After receiving the overwhelming welcome of the masses all the way, Yuan Chao finally came to the vicinity of the capital.
"Owner, walk dozens of miles further, that is, a day's foot, and you can enter Beijing." This time when he entered Beijing, Yuan Chao asked Liu Yuer to follow. It was Liu Yu'er who spoke to Yuan Chao.
"Is there only one day left?" The Yuan Dynasty spoke out as an inquirer.
"Yes, it's a day's journey." Liu Yuer replied without thinking.
"Alright then, pass on, the army stops advancing, and camps on the spot." Yuan Chao announced a new order.
"Well, why. Brother Yuan Chao, now we are far away from the capital where we are rushing day and night. But it's only a day's journey, why did you suddenly get here, and you have to set up camp again. Wang Shiyu, who had not spoken on the side, felt very puzzled after arriving at the order of the Yuan Dynasty, and asked out loud.
"Brother Whampoa. You and I are both graces of leading soldiers to war. It's a real outer layer. Your Majesty, there is no photo. Wei Chen privately brought troops into Beijing. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of crime can be committed? ”
"According to the Great Ming Law. Can be characterized as rebellion. It's a heinous sin. After Wang Pu finished speaking, he also felt a chill down his spine.
"No, we didn't support the troops into Beijing privately, we were thieves on the battlefield. The first class was escorted to Beijing. It's to report the victory to the emperor. Wang Pu said arguedly.
"Brother Wang Pu, what you said is not false at all, this is also the truth. We are now in Beijing, even if we arrive in the capital by night today, the emperor will not treat us for the most heinous crimes. On the contrary, it will reward us a lot. ”
"But whether the emperor will have anything in his heart, it's hard to say. If we set up camp on the spot today, we will send a messenger to ask the emperor for a reply before entering the capital. In this way, the emperor will also be able to prepare a welcome for us, and secondly, the emperor will feel our sincerity even more. Yuan Chao said his opinion.
"Good, good. Or Brother Yuan Chao is thoughtful, but I am not thoughtful. When Wang Pu heard Yuan Chao's explanation, there was nothing to refute, and he immediately agreed.
"I didn't expect it, this Yuan Dynasty looks very aggressive, but it's actually really nuanced."
"In the future, you have to hug Yuan Chao's thighs." Wang Pu thought silently in his heart.
Then the messenger hurried to the capital.
"Did Yuan Chao them arrive?" Chongzhen saw Zhou Yanru who came to see him.
"Yes and no."
"Your Majesty, the Yuan Dynasty is now only a day's journey from the capital, and now they have stopped and waited for the emperor's edict before they dare to approach the city wall."
"Loyal ministers, loyal ministers, in addition to the great victory, I must not get carried away, and still abide by the rules of the ministers, I am really a loyal minister and a good general given to me by God."
"Hurry up and order. The next edict was issued to the hospital to find them and choose them to enter Beijing. ”
"And you, Zhou Yanru, hurry up and prepare for the welcome of the capital, don't let the victorious soldiers feel left out, you must let them feel the enthusiasm of the people." Chongzhen arranged it verbally.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister must make arrangements." Zhou Yanru lowered his eyebrows and agreed, seeing that the emperor no longer had other wills, he lowered his eyebrows and withdrew from the hall.
Out of the main hall, Zhou Yanru quickly implemented Chongzhen's will.
It didn't take long for the Yuan Dynasty to receive the will of the imperial court.
The emperor has issued an order for them to enter Beijing immediately, and is allowed to lead his own troops into Beijing, which is really a supreme honor.
The Yuan Dynasty also immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses and led the troops into Beijing.
The people of the capital who got the news had already greeted them more than ten miles out of the capital.
Moreover, they are all spontaneous welcomes, not the slightest coercive welcome.
These people are also ready to welcome them.
On the one hand, it is the pot pulp, and on the other hand, it is the rotten vegetable leaves.
After Yuan Chao and others appeared in sight, the enthusiasm of the people in the entire capital was ignited.
"The general will return to the court in victory."
"Qi Shaobao is reincarnated." These words are endless.
"Unexpectedly, I was at the foot of the capital before, and I fought with the Jin army."
"Now I have returned to the capital victoriously and have been warmly welcomed by the people."
"I, the Yuan Dynasty, have left a lot in the Ming Dynasty, my footprints." Yuan Chao looked at the changes he had brought and was relieved.
In the jubilation of the people, they marched into the capital with their heads held high.
The capital, the city where the Son of Heaven is located, should have been extremely prosperous, but people with a discerning eye know that decay is everywhere, but what is special today is that the Yuan Dynasty has injected new vitality into this decaying Jingshi.
Yuan Chao was guided by the front and walked towards the Forbidden City.
At the back of the line were hundreds of captives alive.
They were smashed all the way to the head and bloodied, and it can be said that it is not easy to get to the capital alive, and this time they were severely humiliated by the people in the capital.
Gradually, the Forbidden City appeared in front of Yuan Dynasty's eyes.
The bright armor of the soldiers shows the last dignity of the empire on the city walls.
"Will the emperor come in person?" Yuan Chao wondered in his heart whether it was the emperor himself waiting on the city wall.
