Early the next morning, the decree was given, and the whole army was mobilized.

At the forefront of the team, there was Li Guo's department, which should have been prepared in advance, so he guided the army and guided the royal car all the way forward, and did not take any detours.

Not long after, before Li Guo personally arrived at the royal car, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the mountain in front of you is Salhu Mountain." ”

That's right, that's where the destination is. Emperor Chongzhen led the army to come, just to come to Salhu.

In 1619, that is, in the 47th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, between February and March, one of the two most profound major wars in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties occurred.

One was the Battle of Songshan, when all the family resources of the Ming Dynasty were lost in this battle, and all the important strongholds outside the pass were also lost, and even the commander at that time, Hong Chengchou, was captured and surrendered. This battle can be said to be the final decisive battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty will never be able to get out of the customs again.

And another major war is the Battle of Salhu. In this battle, the Ming Dynasty lost about 40,000 soldiers, killed more than 300 generals, lost nearly 30,000 mules and horses, and lost more than 20,000 guns and guns. The victory of the Later Jin Army not only made its regime more stable, but also seized the initiative in the Liaodong battlefield. Since this crushing defeat, the Ming army has switched from strategic offensive to strategic defense.

Of course, this is the case with the whole campaign. Now Emperor Chongzhen's Salhu is actually the main force of the Ming army at that time, the troops led by Du Rusong, a total of more than 30,000 troops, are here, all of them died in battle, including the main general general Du Song, Baoding general Wang Xuan, and the former general Zhao Menglin, all died in the battle.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the green mountains and green waters, and couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart.

If this battle had been won, would there have been future history? Or will Daming have less war and more energy to deal with the floods and droughts in the south and north brought about by the Xiaoice River period, right? Perhaps the Ming Dynasty would survive this period, or the cabinet system eventually evolved into the supreme authority, with the emperor only being the nominal supreme ruler......

There were many thoughts, and finally returned to reality, Emperor Chongzhen went down with a will, and most of the soldiers were sent out to search the mountains to find the bones of the soldiers who died in the war.

In the original history, these heroes and martyrs came from Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, Guyuan Town and other border towns, in addition to Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong, Shaanxi, North Zhili, South Zhili, Zhejiang and other provinces, and even Yongshun, Baojing, Shizhou Tusi soldiers, Hexi and East Tu soldiers. They came far away from their hometown to exterminate the vicious Jianjiao, but in the end, they died in a foreign land, sacrificed their lives for the country, and were buried in the poor mountains and rivers far from their hometowns.

But in this plane, I have defeated the Manchu Qing and avenged you, and I can be regarded as having completed what you have not done, and the Ming Dynasty has set foot in Liaodong again.

You sacrificed your life for the country, I have never forgotten, now, I am here, I am here to take you back, take you to the Ming Martyrs' Hall, enjoy the incense of the Ming Dynasty, and live forever with the country!

Emperor Chongzhen thought, his mind returned to reality, looking at the mountain in front of him, but he knew in his heart that even if he knew the location of the war that year, after nearly twenty years, it was estimated that there would not be many bones of martyrs. This area, or it should be zoned as a forbidden area, and a monument to the Ming martyrs should be built!

He has been thinking about these things, and other people, in this special place, are also full of emotion.

If you really want to talk about it, in the battle of Salhu that year, the Ming Dynasty dispatched more than 100,000 troops, which is more than today. But that time, it achieved the prestige of Jianyu, and so many colleagues died in a foreign land. And now, the emperor drove the expedition in person and destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, just overnight. Almost as soon as the army arrived, it was a big victory! What the Ming military flag refers to is to destroy the ancient and decaying, unstoppable, and no one can do it. The Manchu Qing Dynasty's famous slave chieftains all committed suicide, and those who were killed were killed......

Carefully searching for the remains in the mountains, Mao Chengzuo and the others felt particularly profoundly. Back then, their Dongjiang Army was composed of ordinary people and fugitives who did not want to be oppressed by Jianjiao on the land of Liaodong. In order to take revenge on Jianyu, everyone in the army still fought hard to kill the enemy despite the extremely difficult conditions. I don't know how many people died in battle, and at that time, I didn't even think about what happened after death.

However, I didn't expect that the emperor would be thinking about the comrades who died in the war that year, and at the first time when Liaodong was conquered, there was no celebration, let alone triumph, and the class returned to Beijing, and even before the war began, he had already planned to pick up the former comrades who died in battle and go home. Li Guo's direct attack on Fushun is enough to show that the emperor has a heart!

With such an emperor here, how can I, a soldier who fights for the country and defends the country, not fight to the death? Since ancient times, the emperor has been cold-blooded, but today's emperor has always kept his own low-ranking soldiers in his heart, not only set up a martyr's hall in Beijing, but even came to the old site of Salhu to find the martyrs! Has there ever been such an emperor in all dynasties?

How fortunate it is to have such an emperor, as a member of the Ming army!

His thoughts are the most common among these Ming soldiers. After all, generals will inevitably die in battle, and if they are soldiers for a lifetime, no one can guarantee that they will definitely survive to the end. But the emperor is so worried about the comrades who died in the battle during the Wanli period, so what else can he worry about fighting on the battlefield for the emperor?

The atmosphere in the army is a little depressing, or a little solemn, but every soldier has a further understanding of the Ming Emperor, and his love for the emperor has been further strengthened. This situation reached its peak three days later, when Emperor Chongzhen climbed to the top of Sarhu Mountain to pay tribute to the heroic souls who died in battle.

In the mountains, between the mountains and forests, the Ming soldiers lined up solemnly, and on the temporary platform, there were the bones of comrades who died in battle. It's a pity that after so many years, there are not many remains found, but they are being paid tribute to the Ming Emperor!

Emperor Chongzhen always had a solemn face, with a trace of pain, leading the concubines and generals at all levels to mourn the heroic souls who died in battle. The long sacrificial text echoes affectionately on this Salhu Mountain......

Those comrades who died in the battle of Salhu, you can look at them! Liaodong has been recovered, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has got the end it deserves, and you will be personally taken back by the Ming Emperor, enter the Ming Martyrs' Hall, enjoy the incense, and live forever with the country!

After reading the long sacrificial text, Emperor Chongzhen took a glass of wine from Fang Zhenghua's hand, held it with both hands, and said loudly but with emotion in front of the tablet of the martyrs who died in battle: "This wine was brought by me from Beijing, you defend your family and defend the country, and die in battle, although you are defeated, you are still glorious, I respect you three cups......"

Three glasses of wine, one after the other, were sprinkled on the Sarhu Mountain.

After doing all this, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and faced the Ming soldiers, and he announced loudly: "The Ming Martyrs who have been found, I personally brought them back to the Beijing Division and brought them to the Ming Martyrs' Hall." I decided to build a monument to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty here, and this place has been turned into a forbidden area, so that the heroes of the Ming Dynasty can rest in eternal peace without being disturbed......"

Hearing the emperor's decision, almost all the Ming soldiers invariably knelt down on one knee, faced their emperor, and responded sincerely and loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The voice was so loud that it resounded on the Salhu Mountain, resounded between the heaven and the earth, and I thought about it for a long time, it seemed that the heroes of the year were also responding, grateful to the Ming Emperor for being in person, and grateful to the Ming Emperor for remembering them!

Then, with a wave of his hand, Emperor Chongzhen was escorted up. These captives were all in their forties, or even older. These people were basically involved in the Battle of Salhun that year. They never expected that they thought that Salhu had won the battle back then, but it turned out that after more than ten years, they would still die in this Salhu, this fate is really a joke!

When Emperor Chongzhen paid tribute to the heroic soul of Salhu who died in battle, far away in the Songnen Plain in the northeast of Liao, Huang Taiji in order to avoid being destroyed by the Ming army, sent Tong Yang to cultivate land here, although last year was destroyed by the Horqin cavalry a round, but this year, under the efforts of Tong Yang, it was full of crops again.

Looking at the countless crops and inspecting the fields, I couldn't help but be very satisfied. What the Qing Dynasty cares about most is these crops, as long as there is a bumper harvest this year, then he will be the first hero of the Qing Dynasty. For every Manchurian, he has his own grace for their life. In the future, there will be such a credit, not to mention the addition of officials and knights, at least it will be rich and worry-free. No matter how fierce the court battle is, it will not affect itself.

Thinking about this, he became more and more dedicated. This time, there is no longer a Horqin army stabbing in the back, and away from the Ming army, you will be able to stay safe. Just wait for this crop to ripen, and that is the time when you are most glorious! Shouldn't the recital for the emperor be prepared as soon as possible?

Naturally, he didn't know that Huang Taiji had already been chopped into meat sauce by the yellow coat, ready to play? It's almost as good as preparing the sacrificial text! The Qing Dynasty in his heart has also perished, and Shenyang has returned to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty.

When Tong Yangxing was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed something. Hearing the sound, he looked up, but saw that the soldiers over there were fleeing in panic, and in the distance, he saw a sea of red, accompanied by a "rumbling" sound from the horizon, quickly amplified and approaching.

At this moment, Tong Yangxing couldn't help but be dumbfounded. As a former Ming man, the red ocean in the distance, he doesn't need to think about it to know that it is the Ming Cavalry! However, how could the Ming cavalry appear here?

Accident, really accident! Tong Yangxing really can't figure it out! If the previous Horqin army suddenly appeared here, it would be understandable, after all, the Horqin army was still an ally of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and the sudden mutiny caught the Qing army along the way by surprise.

But now, the Ming army is so far away, they want to come here, but they have to go through one checkpoint after another, and the emperor will not allow the Ming army to destroy the grain fields here, but these Ming troops appear in front of them! How did these Ming troops appear?

Could it be that this year will be another wasted day? So many grain fields, and they are going to be destroyed by the Ming army? Is your year's hard work going to be in vain again?

Tong Yangxing is stupid there, and he is very unwilling in his heart.

At this time, the Ming army in the distance was getting closer and closer. The rolling iron hooves stepped on this land, and the rumbling sound announced the arrival of the Ming army.

Tong Yangxing's personal guard saw that he couldn't wake up his master, so he didn't care, and almost dragged Tong Yangxing to the war horse storage.

However, the iron hooves of the Ming Dynasty came quickly, and there was still some distance from the storage of war horses, and the banner of the Ming army was already very clear. Under the banner of the word "Wu", a young general is leading the army at a gallop.

These prisoners were completely panicked, and they didn't even care about dragging the lost soul to recuperate, so they left him and fled in all directions. But the iron hooves of Daming are overwhelming, just two legs, and where can they escape?

After Tong Yangxing was thrown away, he completely came back to his senses. He panicked, and hurriedly shouted for protection and a war horse. The fate of falling into the hands of the Ming army, he naturally knew it, and he was already terrified in his heart.

Hearing his shout, two guards suddenly ran back, which made Tong Yangxing a little relieved, it seems that there are still loyal minions.

However, he didn't expect that after the two guards returned, they grabbed him, pressed him to the ground and didn't move, and then waved his hand to the Ming army who was getting closer and closer, and shouted loudly: "Tong Yangxing, the chief military officer of Tuntian in the Great Qing Dynasty, is here to ......."

At this moment, Tong Yangxing couldn't help but hate these minions who ate inside and outside and sold him as a master, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold loudly.

When a guard heard this, he looked down at him and sneered: "Close your beak, didn't you also betray Daming and betray the glory and wealth that Daming obtained, where did you have the qualifications to scold us?" ”

This shouting and scolding made Tong Yangxing stunned, and he was suddenly speechless. All along, he felt that he was doing the right thing, and the facts also proved that the Qing Dynasty rose to Liaodong, and he married the daughter of the Great Khan, and enjoyed the glory and wealth in the Qing Dynasty......

He was thinking that the iron hooves had come closer, or the shouts of the two minions had attracted the attention of Wu Sangui, who was leading the army, and he stopped in front of them, condescendingly, looking at the old man who was trampled under the feet of two Manchu soldiers and couldn't move. From the dress, it can be seen that the grade is not low, wearing a flower feather or something, it is not good that he is the person who is ordered to be captured.

Sure enough, seeing that he had arrived, the two guards hurriedly told him and sold Tong Yangxing.

Wu Sangui listened, and with a wave of his hand, a personal guard stepped forward to pick up Tong Yangxing, like carrying a chicken, effortlessly.

Tong Yangxing had already come back to his senses, and in a panic, he tried to die and threatened Wu Sangui loudly: "Let me tell you, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty attaches the most importance to this place, and he will definitely send reinforcements to come." Does Wu Keshan know? Last year, he led the army to destroy the grain fields, but he was caught by the Qing Dynasty and his body was broken into thousands of pieces. If you want to let me go, I can intercede for you......"

Hearing his ridiculous words, Wu Sangui couldn't help but laugh.
