On 22 February, the news of Dabishan's victory came to the capital with Hong Chengchou's envoy, and the entire capital was boiling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Battle of Songjin is a decisive battle, which is related to the fortune of the Ming Dynasty. If the battle is won, the offensive and defensive momentum of the Ming and Tartars will be reversed, and the Qing soldiers will no longer be able to threaten the Ming Dynasty. If the battle is lost, if all the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are folded in Liaoxi, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have the capital to fight a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty. In that case, I am afraid that the Qing army will have to drink the Yellow River sooner or later, and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to support it for many years.

People who have a little insight in the Ming Dynasty are concerned about the war situation in western Liaoning day and night these days. Every move on the front line is a hot topic of discussion among the people in the rear. After all, no one wants the Ming Dynasty to be defeated and destroyed, and they don't want to see the scene of the Tartars entering the Central Plains.

Some time ago, Xingguobo's two small victories in Bijiagang and Hejiaao made the people of the capital very excited. The people of the capital rushed to tell each other the news of the victory, and they all said that with Xingguobo, the victory rate of my Ming Dynasty in this decisive battle has increased greatly, and I am afraid that I will win this decisive battle. After the "Tianjin Daily" and "Shandong Daily" published Xingguobo's two victories, the people of Tianjin and Shandong also learned the good news of the front line, and they were all overjoyed, and they all felt that the Songjin War was going to be won.

And the news of Dabi's victory has brought this excitement to a climax.

Hong Chengchou's envoy traveled 300 miles a day and sent the good news to the capital. As soon as the envoy entered the capital, the sensitive people of the capital saw that this was an envoy from Liaoxi. As soon as the three messengers galloped into Andingmen, the people ran after the messengers.

Seeing the procession running after the messenger behind, the people in front of the road did not dare to block the road, but they also ran after the messenger one by one. Finally, the spectacle of hundreds of people chasing the messenger was formed in the capital. The anxious people shouted at the messenger: "General, have you won or lost?" ”

"Won or lost?"

Without looking back, the envoy rode his horse and galloped away into the imperial city, shouting, "Victory!" ”

The people were overjoyed, and some people asked loudly: "How many tartars have you beheaded?" ”

"How many did Xingguo Bo kill?"

The messenger shouted: "Wang Shi captured and beheaded 11,000 Qing troops. Xingguo Bo captured and killed nine thousand! Xingguo Bo Array beheaded the Tartar Prince Duoduo! ”

When the people on both sides heard this, they exploded with joy. They loudly voiced the messenger's words: "Victory! Win the battle! Wang Shi captured and beheaded 11,000 Qing troops, and Xingguo Bo captured 9,000! Xingguo Bo Array beheaded the Tartar Prince Duoduo! ”

The messenger rode to the front, and the people in the streets ahead moved out of the way like a tidal wave. The people in front didn't hear the news, and asked loudly again: "General, did the king win the battle?" ”

The envoy rode his horse and galloped, and shouted loudly again: "Wang Shi captured and killed 11,000 Qing troops." Xingguo Bo captured and killed nine thousand! Xingguo Bo Array beheaded the Tartar Prince Duoduo! ”

The people of the capital who received the news rejoiced and shouted loudly, spreading the good news of victory one after another. The news seemed to have grown wings and spread rapidly in the capital. The people of every household opened their doors and windows, and listened to the excited and well-informed people running through the streets and shouting:

"Win the battle! In the first battle of Dabi Mountain, Wang Shi captured and beheaded 11,000 Qing troops, and Xingguo Bo killed 9,000 alone! Xingguo Bo Array beheaded the Tartar Prince Duoduo! ”

Won the war, I won the war.

The Tartars who brutalized the people of the Ming Dynasty were defeated, and the king attacked Songshan, captured more than 10,000 Tartar heads, and the siege of Jinzhou was just around the corner. The Tartars were hit hard, and there was no momentum to break through the barrier. Huaxia's clothes are about to be kept, and the people don't need to be dressed in Hufu and cut their hair as slaves, is there anything more pleasing than this?

The people of the capital sang and danced, and many people spontaneously gathered in front of the Chengtian Gate of the imperial city and kowtowed to the north where the Son of Heaven was located. Knocking and knocking, the people suddenly shouted long live. The shouts of thousands of people in front of Chengtian Gate were loud and tsunami, and they spread several miles away.

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, was holding a court meeting in the Imperial Palace, but he heard a noise outside the palace. Faintly, the Son of Heaven seemed to hear that it was thousands of people shouting in unison.

Zhu Youzhen was doubting, but saw a little eunuch running in from outside the hall.

The little eunuch ran sweaty, looking very anxious, he ran to the middle of the court under the gaze of more than a hundred civil officials, knelt in front of the throne and shouted loudly: "Holy Lord, Songshan great victory, Hong Chengchou good news has arrived!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's face was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "The messenger is Xuanjie!" ”

The little eunuch ran out, and not long after, the three envoys sent by Hong Chengchou from Liaoxi walked into the hall. The three of them bowed down in front of the throne, and just as they were about to shout long live, they heard Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, say loudly: "No courtesy, read the good news quickly!" ”

The three envoys stood up and opened the good news jointly sent by Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi: "Lai Sheng is in heaven, ancestor Hongfu, Wang Shi defeated Dongnu in Dabi Mountain, beheaded Dongnu and the pseudo-Yu prince Duoduo, and captured and beheaded Dongnu 11,621..."

Hong Chengchou came up and explained the results of this battle, and Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard it. Capture and behead the Prince of Dongnu, this is a martial art that the Ming Dynasty has not had since the Battle of Salhu. Killing more than 10,000 enemies is a proper victory. With this great victory, I am afraid that it will only be a day and night to break the siege of Jinzhou and drive away the Tartars.

Hong Chengchou first wrote about the overall capture, and then detailed the situation on the battlefield in the good news:

“... When the 50,000-strong army collapsed, Xingguobo was ordered to fight the 40,000-strong army on the eastern flank of Dongnu with a tiger division of 15,000 people. At the moment of the fierce battle, Xingguobo defeated the Dongnu soldiers and horses, and captured and beheaded 9,133 levels. When Dongnu was defeated, Xingguo Bo set up Hongyi cannons, bombarded the Dongnu Chinese army, and killed Duoduo, the pseudo-Yu prince of Dongnu! ”

Hearing the envoy's recital, the officials looked at each other for a while.

Killing more than 10,000 enemies and beheading Prince Dongnu is a great victory. The house leak of the Ming Dynasty coincided with the overnight rain and the wind and rain, but it made such a great victory, which is really gratifying. Everyone is on the boat of Daming, and everyone is happy to hear that the ship is not in danger of capsizing.

Li Zhi fought on the front line and made meritorious contributions, and Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, had the merit of strategizing, and this victory belonged to the Son of Heaven and Li Zhi.

After the messenger finished reading Hong Chengchou's good news, the officials knelt down on the court and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”

Seeing the hundred officials kneeling on the ground and singing long live, Zhu Youzhen laughed. Only then did he understand what those "long live" cries from outside the imperial city were all about.

He stood up, took a few steps back and forth in front of the throne, and said loudly: "Xingguo Bo Li Zhi is heroic and powerful, and has made many great achievements. In February, Li Zhi had already captured 15,000 Dongnu, and he must be rewarded! ”

Zhu Youzhen shook the long sleeves of the dragon robe and said loudly: "I named Li Zhi as a marquis, and he will be named the Marquis of Xingguo!" ”
