In the first month of 1645 AD, all eyes of the world converged on one point, that is, the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Just today, the king of Qi will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and change the dynasty to Kaiyuan, which is a real change of dynasty.

When the initial news was conveyed by the pacesetters, the people who heard it all felt excited, and not only Wang Zheng was waiting for this day, but they also had been looking forward to it for too long.

Only when today's King of Qi is on the throne, these civil and military generals below them can go further and be promoted to the feudal officials, the founding generals, and the famous generals in history.

It's just that many people like Ning Taoduwei Shao Yong will never be seen, and they can only continue to cheer for the emperor loyally under the loess.

For ordinary people, last year's emperor is not many, and he is even a little accustomed to it.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was martyred and died, followed by Li Chuang, who swept the Central Plains, but it didn't take long for him to be defeated and withdraw from Beijing.

In the last two months of that year, Zhang Xianzhong, who had not yet completely occupied Sichuan, jumped out again, and urgently passed the emperor's addiction.

The word emperor, in the eyes of the world, is synonymous with words, if it doesn't work, then what kind of emperor is it, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are direct, at best, they can only be regarded as grass cowards.

But in the first month of this year, an emperor is about to reign over the world, and a new and powerful dynasty is about to be born, that is, Wang Zheng and his Great Qi.

After deliberation, the Staff Office has made detailed arrangements for all matters.

Gu Junen and Zhang Guowei took the civil officials to prepare the edict first, and after the three invitations ascended the throne, Wang Zheng nodded and accepted, and then the new head of the inner house, Cao Huachun, was responsible for reading it.

The world was undecided, and each state capital had a civilian and military general to participate, and in order not to weaken local security, the staff office stipulated the number of soldiers brought by generals at all levels.

These men must be the most elite and brave soldiers in the locality, the battalion officers of the village and town guard battalions brought three and fifty men respectively, the commander of the city defense battalion of the state capital brought eighty and one hundred men respectively, and the scribes rode with the army.

At that time, the soldiers and horses who came to participate in the ceremony from all over the country were distinguished from the soldiers of the forbidden army and witnessed this historic and glorious moment together at the Temple of Heaven.

After the mobilization order was issued, the provinces south of the Yangtze River, as well as every state capital in Hubei, Henan, and Shandong, had a steady stream of civil and military generals to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

Because of the different routes, this order had been issued half a month ago, and when the generals and scribes from all over the country took people to Beijing, they were full of pride when they watched the people and troops see them off.

......

On this day, flags fluttering everywhere in the suburbs of Beijing City, along the official roads, there is a steady stream of civilian and military generals from all over the world who come to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

At a glance, there were even more soldiers in armor inside and outside the city than pedestrians coming in and out, and the streets were full of dazzling flags, dense iron helmets walking back and forth, and the luster of armor and swords and guns shone in the sun.

On both sides, there are many soldiers who have come to Beijing for the first time to walk in the market, taking advantage of the short time before the ceremony starts to visit the market.

Since the Tumut Mongols have been paid tribute, there are now a lot of foreign horse merchants in the bazaar, and the things that can be bought in Beijing are cheap and beautiful, and it is also a friendship to give them to the woman they like.

Everyone laughed and laughed, and every time they met, they would bow to each other and say hello.

The farmers working in the fields put down their work and pointed at this side, their faces full of envy and anticipation, what will their lives be like in the future?

In the past few days, the Dingkou of the General Administration of Urban Management has gone out to investigate outsiders and maintain stability in Beijing, and these things are not controlled.

Since a few days before the battle, these Qi soldiers have not stopped for a moment when they will walk back and forth in the future, and no one knows how many thousands of people there are.

This scene is fundamentally different from the day when the Dashun army entered Beijing, although there are many soldiers in the Qi army, but the military discipline is strict, everyone is fully paid, and they will not think crookedly to the people at all.

A group of more than 30 soldiers had just entered the city, and the generals led by them were wearing standard village guard battalion officer armor, although the grade was relatively low, but they were also radiant and looked heroic.

The general was a nobody, but he was very excited, and after walking into the city of Beijing, he looked at the brothers and horses wearing the same armor everywhere, and immediately grinned.

Stretched out his head and glanced into the inn, and it was already full of people.

"Brothers, this place is already full, and there are many people who have come to the capital to participate in the ceremony today, so we can't occupy a place anymore, so let's rest in front of the door for a while." As he spoke, the general looked up at the heavens and said to himself:

"Look at this day, the ceremony should be about to start."

After he gave the order, this team of more than 30 Qi soldiers stood straight outside the inn and came to the feet of King Qi, which was the future national capital, how could he not be in good spirit, and he could not let other troops underestimate our village guard battalion.

Looking at the soldiers and horses of the Qi army passing back and forth on the street, there were not only town guard battalion officers who were one level older than themselves, but also many commanders of a state or even a prefecture, and even the occasional chief and deputy general of a province.

The official's face was shocked, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

But after all, it's not like a barracks in the city, and I can't help but take a look at it like a leopard, hehe Zhile, when it was still the Ming Dynasty, he was still a homeless person, and he lived a precarious life all day long.

But now, he has an official body, although not big, but he is also a young general, with his own armor and saber, and with a village guard, which is also something to be proud of.

Not long ago, this general just married a little daughter-in-law and gave birth to a big fat boy for him.

The boss also said that when he retreats home in the future, this armor will be his own and will not be confiscated, but he plans to pass it on to his children and grandchildren so that they can hide it well.

Since he was still a homeless person, the general has heard of the majesty of the city of Beijing, and when he came here in person today, he felt that it was ten thousand times more powerful than he thought in his heart.

Many years later, the old general would laugh like a child when he mentioned the grand occasion of King Qi's accession to the throne, and his family also felt very honored because they had participated in the enthronement ceremony, and several grandchildren gathered around to listen to their grandfather tell the story of the enthronement ceremony.

After a while, a group of cavalrymen with three small flags on their backs galloped out of the Forbidden City, their armor was different from that of all foreign generals, dark gray with leopard ornamentation, and they had a very flexible feeling.

"It's the pacesetter of the forbidden army, it looks like the ceremony is about to begin."

When they saw these pacesetters, many people were shocked and muttered this sentence.

Sure enough, after these pacesetters left the Forbidden City, they went all the way, waving small flags and shouting along the streets, informing the whole city of the news that the enthronement ceremony was about to begin.
