At the beginning of July in the third year of Chongzhen (the third year of Tiancong in the Manchu Dynasty), he was a teacher in Beijing.

After more than two months of 650,000 soldiers marching to Liaodong in two ways, the good news of Liu Yunwei, the commander of Jiliao and the commander of the army, finally returned to the Beijing Division.

At this time, from Emperor Chongzhen, down to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the common people and wealthy families inside and outside the capital, they were already eager to see through. When Cheng Shiyong was dressed in military uniform and led a team of 20 personal guards to rush into the Beijing division from Deshengmen in the north of the city, the entire capital was boiling, and hundreds of thousands of people heard the news and flocked behind Cheng Shiyong and other soldiers, shouting and cheering frantically on the long street, wantonly venting the grief and anger that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time!

Cheng Shiyong and the twenty guards behind him were also enthusiastic when they saw this, and they all shouted loudly: "Liaodong victory!" The Liao army fought a bloody battle for two months, annihilated more than 500,000 Qing troops, and beheaded the slave chieftain Taiji, Prince Haoge, Daishan, Duoduo, and Zierharang! Most of Liaodong has been recovered! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

"Huang Ming is victorious!"

"The military master is so good! Heroes! ”

The roar of Cheng Shiyong and other soldiers, like boiling water poured into an oil pot, suddenly set off a huge roar on the entire long street, hundreds of people shouted wildly on the long street, and this wave of ecstasy spread in all directions at a very fast speed, igniting the entire capital.

Since the wild boar Pinurhachi raised his army, the Ming Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly against the Manchu Tatars, so that the national prestige has been lost, the people's hearts have been ruined, and the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty have accumulated too much grief and indignation, and the glory of being the people of China and the descendants of Yan and Huang has been suppressed for too long!

Today, with the bloody battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who conquered Liao, Huang Ming finally raised his eyebrows, defeated the murderous Tatars, and recovered most of the Chinese homeland! From today on, the emperor's heavenly power will once again threaten the sea and shock the Quartet!

As the entire capital fell into a boil, the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people soared into the sky. In the Qianqing Palace, he was discussing the matter of the Liaodong War with Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department.

Suddenly, the three of them vaguely heard a faint shout, as if something big had happened outside the palace, and the entire capital was involved.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Wang Chengen, who was standing next to him, Wang Chengen immediately understood, and immediately trotted out of the main hall of Qianqing Palace and went out to check the situation.

Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia glanced at each other, and both of them were vaguely aware of something in their hearts, could it be that Liu Yunwei really went crazy and defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty and won the Liaodong War? Thinking of this, the faces of both of them became very ugly.

However, unlike what Zhou Yanru was worried about, Chen Xinjia felt more entangled in his heart, after all, when Zhou Yanru deliberately embarrassed Liu Yunwei in terms of money and food, he did not make a clear statement as the secretary of the military department, let alone speak up for Liu Yunwei.

If Liu Yunwei really defeated the Manchu army and won the victory, how will he, the secretary of the military department, get along with Liu Yunwei in the future? This is a major event related to your future career and destiny!

For a while, Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia both became troubled by gains and losses, and both of them lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia were both preoccupied, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, coughed, and said: "Two Aiqing, now that Po Junbo has not reported the official report, and there has been no good news or ......."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shudder, his face changed instantly, and after stabilizing his mind a little, he continued: "Now the specific situation of the Liaodong War is unknown to the imperial court, what is the opinion of the two Aiqing?" Regardless of the outcome of the war, the imperial court must be fully prepared! ”

After Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia listened, they both sighed slightly, the two glanced at each other, Chen Xinjia took the lead and took a step forward, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial court of the Liaodong War has done its best, hundreds of thousands of tigers will send soldiers out of the Tartars in two ways, and there is a broken army to personally lead the army, I think that there will be nothing wrong with the Liaodong War, please wait with your Majesty." ”

Listening to Chen Xinjia's words, Zhou Yanru couldn't help frowning and looked over, looking at Chen Xinjia who was talking, Zhou Yanru's heart was very dissatisfied: "Chen Xinjia is stepping on two boats!" I don't want to offend Liu Yunwei, but I also broke off the connection with the old man, it's really thoughtful! ”

After listening to Chen Xinjia's words, Emperor Chongzhen's heart that had been worried for a long time let go a little. Then Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru and asked, "Elder Ge, what do you think of the Liaodong War?" ”

Zhou Yanru got up to salute, sorted out his thoughts a little, and was about to open his mouth to deliver his long speech, but before Zhou Yanru could speak, he heard a noise outside the main hall, as if countless people were cheering, accompanied by a very rapid footsteps.

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru, and Chen Xinjia stood up violently when they heard this, and looked at the main entrance of the main hall.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was full of expectation, and because he was too nervous, Emperor Chongzhen's body even began to tremble slightly. After Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia glanced at each other, they both stared at the door nervously, waiting for the news to come.

After a while, I saw dozens of Han generals, eunuchs, and palace maids guarding the palace gate rushing over, and the first one was Wang Chengen, who had just gone out to inquire about the news.

I saw that Wang Chengen, who was running over, had not yet reached the door, so he shouted towards Emperor Chongzhen, and shouted with all his strength: "Your Majesty! Liaodong victory! Pojun Bo led the army to gather and annihilate the main force of 550,000 Tartars, and beheaded the slave chieftain Taiji, Prince Daishan, Hauge, Duoduo, and Zilharang! Manchu is over! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chengen rushed into the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and under the stunned gaze of Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia, he suddenly fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty! Liaodong is recovered! The Manchu Tartars are over! Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Chongzhen froze at this time, his face was full of joy, and then he almost trembled and roared: "Ancestors and ancestors! Won! I have recovered Liaodong! ”

Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia hurriedly knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, congratulating Emperor Chongzhen one after another, and outside the main hall was also full of Han generals, eunuchs, and palace maids guarding the palace, and the entire palace was in ecstasy like inside and outside the capital.

After venting for a while, Emperor Chongzhen recovered a little, and then asked Wang Chengen: "Where are the soldiers of the Broken Army Bosuo now!" ”

Wang Chengen wiped the tears from his face and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy sent by Po Junbo is outside the palace, and Your Majesty can personally inquire about the specific situation of the Liaodong War." ”

"Quick!"

Cheng Shiyong came to the Qianqing Palace in armor, and after the military salute, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked: "Where are the soldiers of the Broken Army Bosuo now?" Where did the remnants of the Manchu retreat? ”

"Your Majesty, before the last general set off, the Governor had already led 400,000 troops to the north, and it is estimated that he has now arrived at the Acropolis of Haizhou. After the superintendent reorganized the army in the Acropolis of Haizhou, the whole army went north to recover Liaoyang City and Shenyang City, and prepared to gather and annihilate all the Manchu remnants in Liaoyang City and Shenyang City in a battle, and completely annihilate the Manchu Tartars! ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just around the corner, he was so excited that he shouted three times in a row, and then looked at Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, and said: "Pavilion elder, Chen Shangshu, now that the army and the soldiers of the Liao Expedition have made immortal achievements, the imperial court will immediately commend them!" It is necessary to reward it with weight and speed! ”

Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia hurriedly received the promise.

However, then Zhou Yanru said: "Your Majesty, the successive bloody battles between the soldiers and the soldiers of the Liao Expedition can be described as hard work and high achievements, and they should be rewarded!" However, according to the general's report, now the remnants of the Manchu Qing are all cowering in Shenyang and Liaoyang, and the number of troops is still in the tens of thousands, if the entire population of the Manchu is added, then Dolgon can gather at least a dozen or two hundred thousand soldiers and horses again. Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has more than 100,000 or 200,000 mercenaries, and is backed by two of the largest fortified cities in eastern Liaodong, how can the tired army led by Po Junbo complete the battle in a short period of time? ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little unsightly, and he asked, "What does Elder Ge mean?" ”

"The old minister thought that since the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been defeated miserably, the imperial court might as well accept it when it was good enough to see it and garrison the Haizhou Acropolis for a generation now. At the same time, he sent an envoy to meet the slave chief Dolgon, ordering him to surrender to the court immediately, and to be my Ming vassal forever. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xinjia immediately said: "Pavilion Elder is wrong with this! The Manchu Tartars poisoned Liaodong, how many of my Han people died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Tartars? How could the army be hastily withdrawn under the great victory of the king's division? If so, how could those hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in Liaodong agree! ”

Cheng Shiyong on the side stared at Zhou Yanru with extreme anger, eager to rush forward and beat the leader of the Donglin Party to death in the court.

Zhou Yanru saw that Chen Xinjia was actually turning against the water at this time and stood on Liu Yunwei's side, and he was immediately angry, and his heart was full of war, and he was about to start a heated argument with Chen Xinjia.

Who knows, at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "Enough!" The Tartars have repeatedly violated the Ming Dynasty, how can they withdraw their troops just now! Po Junbo once said: Those who dare to offend China will punish their people, destroy their country, and exterminate their descendants! Kill! Kill all these wolf-hearted and dog-lung! ”

Zhou Yanru saw that Emperor Chongzhen was angry, and was about to distinguish a few points for himself, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen roar loudly: "Spread my will!" Ordered Po Junbo to lead the soldiers of the Liao expedition to attack Liaoyang City and Shenyang City, and annihilate the Manchu Tartars! ”

After speaking, Emperor Chongzhen glared at Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia and said, "Spread my will!" The Cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households immediately raised the money and food needed by the army, and made every effort to ensure the needs of the soldiers who conquered Liao! Those who disobey the will, whoever they are, are immediately dismissed on the spot and never hired! ”
