In the first battle of Jinzhou, the Ming army and the Qing army each had gains and losses. For the Qing army and Dorgon, this passage has been opened, and they are just a little bit of luck; As for Jinzhou, after this battle, it has existed in name only. In addition to the Iron Cavalry, the defenders of Jinzhou almost became the spoils of Dolgon's siege. Tens of thousands of Jinzhou defenders lost most of them in just one afternoon. The fortifications were also scrapped and could not be restored in the short term, Zu Dashou was spared, and put a simple thank-you banquet for the defenders of Shanhaiguan, Zu Dashou asked Zhu Qing a question, "Can Jinzhou still be held?" ”

"As long as there are a few generals, Jinzhou can be defended." Zhu Qing said to Zu Dashou and Hong Chengtao and other generals. However, these are all table words, and everyone knows that Jinzhou is almost an empty city. Even if Zhu Qing trusts Zu Dashou's ability again, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", not to mention, even the stove of this cooking stove has been destroyed by Dolgon.

Zu Dashou nodded and smiled bitterly, he knew it in his heart after many years on the battlefield.

"Anyway, thank you Jinyiwei for solving the crisis in Jinzhou today. On behalf of Jinzhou, my ancestor Dashou would like to give you a cup! Zu Dashou picked up the big bowl and did it first as a respect.

"They are all warriors of the Ming Dynasty! Come, brothers, let's all toast the general! Zhu Qing picked up the big bowl and stood up and shouted to the brocade brothers. Hundreds of brocade guards drink for Jinzhou.

After three rounds of wine, the banquet was poured and scattered, Zu Dashou pulled Zhu Qing and muttered in his ear, "Qinglong, you tell me honestly, how should Jinzhou be guarded?" ”

Although Zu Dashou was very drunk at this time, Zhu Qing still looked at his eyes very seriously, and said expressionlessly, "Merge." ”

"Merge?"

"That's right, merge. Nu Qinglong bluntly said that this battle made Jinzhou lose countless soldiers, and if it was not merged, not to mention Dorgon's tens of thousands of troops, even one of his cavalry detachments could break Jinzhou. Zhu Qing said.

Zu Dashou let go of Zhu Qing and fell into deep thought, he nodded.

It's twilight. Zhu Qing led the Shanhaiguan guards to leave Jinzhou and turn back to Shanhaiguan. In the first battle of Jinzhou, Jinyiwei lost fifty elite soldiers. Where there is war, there will be casualties. But Zhu Qing still didn't see through, after all, it was the brother he brought out, after all, it was the first time!

"Lin Bai, you say, will there be such a day in Shanhaiguan?" Looking at the fifty corpses, Zhu Qing asked the deputy general Lin Bai.

"I don't know." Lin Bai shook his head.

"Yes." Zhu Qing asked and answered himself. He knew that history, but he was reluctant.

"Your Excellency?" Listening to the words of the coach Zhu Qing, Lin Bai asked suspiciously, he knew that the situation was not optimistic, but when Zhu Qing, who had always been strong and was a role model for Jinyiwei and even many Ming soldiers, said this, he was still stunned for a moment.

"Oh, just talking. Quick, we have to rush back to Shanhaiguan before dark. Zhu Qing smiled slightly, as if he had no heavy expression.

Zhu Qing asked himself in his heart: Zhu Qing or Wu Sangui, who is more suitable for Shanhaiguan?

"Okay! Brothers, go home! Seeing that the coach was in high spirits, Lin Bai's mood soared, and with a wave of his halberd, a remnant sun was drawn behind him.

"Report ......! The general is back! "Outside Shanhaiguan, a scout came to report.

"Quick, open the gates and meet the general!" Cheng Li, another deputy general of Shanhaiguan, led the team out to greet him.

"Congratulations to the general!"

"Greeting the general's triumphant ......" Under the leadership of Cheng Li, 200 soldiers in Shanhaiguan gathered at the pass to welcome Zhu Qing and others.

Zhu Qing led the team into the customs, and he was a little unhappy when he saw this scene, he had always disliked form, and now the deputy general Cheng Li made such a pomp, which made him very uncomfortable. However, as a manager, he has to teach himself to be tolerant and generous. Zhu Qing raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop cheering, but Cheng Li took the lead. Zhu Qing had no choice but to reprimand loudly, "Brothers, listen to me." We're not triumphant, we're just going home. Although Jinzhou was defended, we lost a lot of soldiers. Jinzhou is no longer the Jinzhou of the past. So, we just went home, but a lot of people couldn't go home. Do you understand? Zhu Qing said, glanced at Cheng Li, signaled to Lin Bai, Lin Bai beckoned, and the carriage and horse transporting the corpse of Jinyiwei who died in the battle slowly drove into Shanhaiguan.

Seeing the bodies of the brothers, everyone fell silent.

"General Zu gave us a thank-you banquet just now. Some people can't drink it, and some people get drunk. Why? All because we lost a lot of brothers! However, Zu Dashou said, 'We must have a feast, we must let the living see hope!' So, tonight, we're going to have a feast too!" Everyone follow General Cheng Li to prepare! Zhu Qing ordered.

One moment sensational, another moment tragic, Zhu Qing's words made everyone a little puzzled. Cheng Li walked up to Zhu Qingma and asked quietly, "Do you really want to drink?" ”

"Drink, be sure to drink! But it's not at the horse farm, tonight, we're going to drink at Wuji Mountain! Zhu Qing said.

"The last general understands, this is what to do!" After listening to Wuji Mountain, Cheng Li didn't dare to slack off.

The racecourse is a place where banquets are held in the army in peacetime, and it is a celebration platform for rewarding the three armies; And Wuji Mountain, is a mountain of Shanhaiguan, this mountain sits in the pass, looks outside the pass, is the highest witness of Shanhaiguan, here, buried the homeless Ming warriors who died in the border pass!

Therefore, when Zhu Qing said that there was going to be a banquet tonight, everyone still had some discussions in private, but when they saw Cheng Li moving the wine to Wuji Mountain, everyone was silent, this was a send-off wine! Placed in the fifty Ming brocade clothes that died in battle. Maybe some of them miss their hometown and relatives, but when they were selected to Shanhaiguan, their oath had already been integrated into the three words "Wuji Mountain"!

The night of Wuji Mountain is windy, but everyone who comes to Wuji Mountain should not feel fear, but should generate a burst of tragedy and strength. Because, here are all loyal souls!

Zhu Qing ordered Lin Bai to bury fifty soldiers. Subsequently, all the soldiers of Shanhaiguan lined up in an orderly manner, each holding a large bowl in his hand, and the bowl was filled with liquor. Zhu Qing stood in front of these new graves. Each new tomb was tied with a cluster of torches, and the flames danced in Zhu Qing's eyes. Sparkling.

"You're gone, we're still here, we're gone, someone will come! As long as Wuji Mountain does not fall for a day, Shanhaiguan will not fall! Zhu Qing held the big bowl in both hands and said solemnly, after that. He poured three bowls of wine on the ground! After pouring the fourth bowl, Zhu Qing held the big bowl high and raised it above his head, "Brothers, let's go!" ”

"Good go, brothers!" All the soldiers followed Zhu Qing and shouted. Immediately, everyone picked up the big bowl and drank it all!

This is the ceremony of the martyrdom of Shanhaiguan. It's been passed down for 100 years! Some people say that Wuji Mountain is the soul of Shanhaiguan! Every time such a ceremony is held, the wind blows in Wuji Mountain! No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, day or night, tonight, nature is no exception.
