Chen Di led the Flying Tiger Army to leave Taiyuan in May of the 26th year of Jiajing and opened the division. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On June 12, the 26th year of Jiajing, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally returned to the capital! Wang Shi triumphed, and hundreds of civil and military officials greeted him at Desheng Gate under the leadership of Shoufu Yan Song!
The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army are well-groomed and have bayonets like a forest, so they are not mighty!
Chen Di, the governor of the capital, Yu Dayou, the marshal of the Flying Tiger Army, and Qi Jiguang, the commander of the first division, were dressed in military uniforms and equipped with foreign knives at their waists, and rode high-headed horses at the front of the team.
Arriving at Desheng Gate, Chen Di dismounted, and Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang followed him.
Yan Song greeted him: "Metropolitan Governor, the merit of eternity, the merit of eternity!" This Northern Expedition made the northern barbarians surrender in one fell swoop, and the merits of the metropolitan governor were far better than Wei and Huo! β
Jiang Guang, the second assistant of the cabinet, also patted Chen Di's ass: "The metropolitan governor is mighty!" The Flying Tiger Army soldiers are mighty! After this battle, the north of my Ming Dynasty can be guaranteed for a hundred years! β
Chen Di corrected Jiang Guang: "Jiang Cifu, this Northern Expedition is not only to solve the border troubles, but also to expand the territory!" I have made up my mind to set up the Beiting Protectorate in the hinterland of the grassland! Merge the vast grassland into my Ming territory! β
Yan Song heard Chen Di say this, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. Expanding territory is a big deal! What does it mean that you have made up your mind? Could it be that I, the head of the cabinet, am an ornament? You decided such a big thing yourself without going through the cabinet?
However, Yan Song did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.
He said, "Governor, please enter Beijing, right?" β
Chen Di nodded: "The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army listened to the order, did not return to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for the time being, entered Beijing with the governor of the capital, and lined up to accept the review of the people of the capital!" β
When the salute rang out, Taichang Temple played a big music.
Chen Di said to Jiang Guang: "Jiang Cifu, you go and tell the people of Taichang Temple to avoid this great music." β
Chen Di turned his head and ordered Yu Dayou: "Yu Dashuai, order the brothers of the Flying Tiger Army to sing the military song of the Flying Tiger Army!" Let our warriors sing our war song into the city! β
Nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army sang the military song of the Flying Tiger Army, lined up in a neat queue, and entered the city with neat steps.
"Flying Tiger, go to my rivers and mountains!
Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce!
There is a Ming Dynasty in the east, such as the sun rising!
Ten years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to peace!
The world is in turmoil, how can we get Corning?
There are flying tigers, who will compete! β
When did the people of the capital on both sides of the road see such a mighty army? Chen Di led more than 10,000 Flying Tiger troops into the hinterland of the grassland and broke more than 100,000 grassland cavalry, which had long been made up into a story by the drum artists in the teahouse in the capital. In the minds of the common people, the Flying Tiger Army is like that of a soldier and a general.
"Ahem, do you see it, this is our Ming Dynasty's Flying Tiger Army!"
"Haha, those two boys in my family are soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army Artillery Battalion!"
"Really? Blessed are you! After this victory, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and you will have many more meritorious fields in your family! β
The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army sang the military song, and Yu Dayou shouted: "Long live the Flying Tiger Army!" β
A group of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army also shouted in unison: "Long live the Flying Tiger Army!" β
Since Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the title of long live can only be used for the Son of Heaven. But today, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army shouted "Long live the Flying Tiger Army", which is a challenge to the concept of the supremacy of imperial power in China for thousands of years!
The people didn't know what the emperor looked like, they only knew that since the governor of Dadu came to power, their taxes were lighter, and they could have food and clothing. This was something that was unimaginable before! In the past, when there was no Flying Tiger Army, it was rumored that the Japanese invaded how many counties along the coast, and how many Ming women were captured by the Tatars in the south! But now, with the Metropolitan Governor and the Flying Tiger Army, the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer have to be bullied by foreign races! How could the people not love Chen Di and the Flying Tiger Army?
A group of people first followed the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army and shouted: "Long live the Flying Tiger Army." β
I don't know which of the people suddenly took the lead and shouted: "Long live the Grand Governor!" β
The soldiers and civilians also changed their tune and shouted: "Long live the Grand Governor!" β
On this day, the shout of "Long live the Grand Governor" resounded throughout the capital!
Chen Di entered the palace, accompanied by the cabinet ministers, and Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang went to Yongshou Palace to see Emperor Jiajing in military uniforms.
Chen Di, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang did not take off their uniforms and swords.
Chen Di walked up to Emperor Jiajing, knelt down and said, "The minister pays homage to the emperor." β
Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. Chen Di looked up at Emperor Jiajing, in just a few months, how could this emperor of the Ming Dynasty look like he was ten years old?
It's no wonder if you think about it. It is said that power is the best aphrodisiac, and Emperor Jiajing now has no right to size, and people naturally age quickly. In addition, after he lost his rights, he became even more addicted to alchemy and cultivation, and he didn't know how much lead and mercury pills he had to take every day! Those things are chronic poisons!
Emperor Jiajing said without yin or yang: "Oh? Governor Chen is back? Am I going to give you a gift? β
Chen Di was furious when he heard this. He took the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army to fight for the south and north of the Ming Dynasty, but when he returned triumphantly, there was no word of appeasement in his mouthγγγγγ Perhaps, in his opinion, the victory of the Ming Dynasty is worthless in relation to the rights he lost! A monarch who puts his rights above the people in the world, no matter how smart he is, no matter how skillful he is, he is just a faint monarch!
Emperor Jiajing didn't let Chen Di get up, but Chen Di stood up by himself: "Your Majesty, the minister is leaving!" β
Chen Di came out of the Yongshou Palace, and he was puzzled. Tang Shunzhi, Zhang Juzheng, and Long Zixing, why didn't these people appear at Deshengmen to greet them?
A Flying Tiger Arms Bearer who stayed in the capital came to announce: "The Metropolitan Governor, Tang Shunzhi Tang Lord, Zhang Juzheng Lord, and Long Zi Xinglong are waiting for the Metropolitan Governor to be on duty in the cabinet. β
Chen Di walked up to Yan Song and whispered, "Father-in-law, Tang Shunzhi must have something important to do with me." I'll go to them first, and then I'll greet you at Father's house in the evening!" β
Yan Song showed a strange smile: "Di'er, people have two skins, you have to be careful that someone provokes the relationship between our father and son!" β
Chen Di, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang came to the cabinet room, and Tang Shunzhi, Zhang Juzheng, and Long Zixing saluted Chen Di.
"Excuse yourself from that set of false courtesies!" Chen Di said.
Yu Dayou complained to Tang Shunzhi: "I said Old Tang, our brothers are fighting bloody battles in front, why don't you say that you will greet our brothers in the Flying Tiger Army at Deshengmen after returning triumphantly?" Don't forget, you also have a great contribution to the founding of the Flying Tiger Army! β
Tang Shunzhi said: "The battle has been fought, and whether you meet it or not will come second." Governor, I have a few important things to tell you! β
Chen Di asked Yu Dayou and others to go out.
After everyone left, Tang Shunzhi said: "Metropolitan Governor, in the past half a year since you left Beijing, the Yan Party can be said to be jumping up and down!" β
