At this time, the setting sun is setting on the mountain, and the sunlight in the west has completely shrunk behind the white peaks of Horn Mountain.

Although the sky still stubbornly maintained its blue color, it was discernible with the naked eye, and it was expelled by the black rising in the east.

Yamaguchi Suchen stood on the south city wall, facing the mighty and cold evening breeze, his face was hard and cold, and he was silent for a long time.

All the generals around them stood aside nervously, and the prestige from the commander made them dare not speak anymore, just waiting for the brigade commander's decision.

Is it a tragic death, a life of reluctance or reluctance?

The generals' hearts were sometimes hot and excited, and sometimes they were ashamed of the shameful thoughts in the deepest part of their hearts.

The long wind blew on the face, cold as a knife, and the night sky soon skimmed over the Shanhaiguan area and headed west.

Immediately, stars twinkled in the sky.

A full moon jumps out of the blue sea in the east.

Sprinkle the veins with clear radiance.

"Bang, bang——,!"

A firework was shot into the sky over Dongluo Castle, and then exploded into thousands of brilliant flowers.

"Bang, bang——, bang, bang!"

Another one.

"Oh-"

The Qing troops surrounding the Shanhai Pass began to roar wildly.

At this time, the Japanese generals remembered that today was the Lantern Festival of the Qing Dynasty.

"What beautiful fireworks!"

Nakaki no Ue looked up at the sky and muttered in a low voice.

“——”

A torch in the dark, was lit.

“——”

Another one.

One by one.

"Bang, bang, bang, boom—"

More colorful fireworks were shot high into the air by the sappers of the anti-Japanese army.

And the north wing city, the east and west Luo city, the first line of the Great Wall, Huanxi Ridge, the south wing city, and the main city of Shanhaiguan were lit on all sides, and countless torches and long dragons soon appeared.

"Tomizaburo Oysaki? There are still so many Imperial soldiers! Yaga, why didn't he die, you coward! ”

Ishihara Yingheng looked at a piece of torches 200 meters away from the southern city, and suddenly scolded angrily.

When Yamaguchi Suchen heard this, he saw that at least 200 Japanese soldiers were gathered where the firelight was flickering.

And what made Yamaguchi Suchen even more ashamed was that the two broken wing flags of the 19th and 16th wings of the Japanese army were also erected on the snow as trophies.

"Order all soldiers to give up resistance and open the gates—"

Yamaguchi Suchen closed his eyes, squeezed out a few tears, and said the two words that made him humiliated to death with difficulty and bitterness:

"Surrender!"

"Commander!"

Ishihara Yingheng couldn't believe his ears in anger, and looked at Yamaguchi Suchen with a loud roar.

It's so hard to say the word 'surrender', but once it's said, everything is not so difficult to do.

"I can't see the Combined Fleet, and if I don't personally question Ito Hyungwoo once, I won't be blind!" Yamaguchi Suchen said coldly, "Those who are willing to be martyred, I ——, not stop it!" ”

"Yaga! Cowards, wretched! ”

Ishihara Yingheng didn't dare to scold Yamaguchi Suchen, so he looked at Okubo Toshisada and Nakaki Nokie with his eyes, but both of them avoided Ishihara Yingheng's gaze, and he was so angry that he couldn't stop scolding.

Soon, in the night, the south gate of the main city of Shanhaiguan was opened, and Yamaguchi Suchen and Nakaki Zhizhi led the Japanese soldiers lined up in two columns and walked out of the main city dejectedly.

When the soldiers walked out of the city gates, they simultaneously discarded their rifles in the snow on both sides, and soon piled up in large piles.

"Bang!"

"Ahh

In the main city of Shanhaiguan, there were dull gunshots from time to time, as well as heart-rending roars.

It was more than two dozen Japanese soldiers and officers who were unwilling to surrender, and they were killing themselves by piercing their heads with rifles and cutting their abdomen with oriental knives.

"Well, for the diehards, death is their best destination; Empire—"

He Changying and a large group of generals of the anti-Japanese army stood on the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, looking at the Lantern Festival fireworks in Dongluo City, and Liu Kunyi in the south of the main city of Shanhaiguan to surrender the remnants of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Here, for the first time, He Changying used the word empire to describe the Chinese people.

Then, his words paused slightly, and his face showed a relaxed, proud, and angry tone, and said loudly:

"I have a vast territory of the Chinese Empire, covering all parts of the world, with hundreds of millions of people, and I don't need any allies and allies; Under this vast sky in East Asia, there can only be one master, one voice, and all the other national forces need to obey, obey, and follow unconditionally! ”

"I, the Chinese Empire, should be the well-deserved king of this East Asian land, and I should lead East Asian countries to seek common prosperity and common progress and development! Eastward, Ryukyu, Eastern, Midway, Hawaii, and the entire Pacific Ocean! To the south, the countries of South Asia, Oceania, and even the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea! To the west, the countries of Central Asia, all the way to the distant Caspian Sea, the Black Sea! Facing north, vast Siberia, the Arctic Ocean ,——"

He Changying said arrogantly and passionately: "The footprints of my Chinese soldiers should appear, and the voice of my Chinese empire should be issued!" ”

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

The uncontrollable anti-Japanese officers who were excited shouted at the sky one after another.

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

This cry seemed to be full of invisible magic, and the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army up and down the Great Wall shouted wildly.

"Hooray, hooray!"

One after another, in this endless relay sound, all the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army around Shanhaiguan and the three cities outside the pass roared like crazy.

This shout made Liu Kunyi, who had just accepted the surrender of Yamaguchi Suchen, feel good, and instantly fell into the ice valley with a trembling heart.

Yi Shunding, He Minggao, Chen Guiren, Wang Liansan, these Qing veterans, all felt that their scalps and backs were densely fried with fine beads of sweat.

Both legs were soft and trembling with horror.

A man who many people know, but dare not reveal the slightest thing, at this moment, by the wild shouts of nearly 10,000 soldiers, a big crack was forcedly pulled out, and it can no longer be hidden and mended!

"This is really the appearance of the last days——, is it a traitor, a hero, a hero, is it to go to the top, or to die halfway, look up or be like Zeng Wenzhenggong? That's it, old man, I have the right to be a spectator, let's wait and see! ”

Liu Kun inadvertently remembered the conversation with He Changying in the secret room at noon today.

"I, He Changying, am not for myself, not for the Qing Dynasty, but only for the hundreds of millions of suffering people in China, and for the endless continuation of the bloodline of my ancestors in China for tens of millions of years!"

"The Qing Dynasty used to be the Ming Dynasty, and before that it was the Yuan and Song Dynasties, which dynasty said that it lasted for thousands of generations, but which one was just a few dozens, hundreds, three or two hundred years? However, my Chinese nation has always existed in heaven and earth for thousands of years, and everything I do now is for this eternal existence! ”

At this time, Liu Kunyi's heart palpitated, and at the same time, he had some doubts.

At noon, he He Changying dared to close the door and say these rebellious words to him, naturally he He Changying had the confidence of He Changying, and he could not admit it when he went out.

But today, the phrase 'long live' was shouted out by nearly 10,000 soldiers, and it was a big crime to spread to the Beijing Division!

Even if it was a fraud, why didn't he quickly kneel down in fear and confess his guilt?

"What audacity, arrogance, arrogance!"

Looking at He Changying, who was standing straight and cold on the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan and in the bright torches, Yi Shunding was almost crazy with jealousy, and couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice.

At this time, he had already made up his mind, and as soon as he returned to Jingshi, he immediately contacted his Qingliu friends, counted He Changying's various great rebellion crimes, and trampled him to death, and he could never turn over!
