Chapter 595: The First Voice



In the distance, on the Chengtian Gate directly south of the Forbidden City, in the sound of drums, the brocade-clothed pro-army held a guard of honor and stood on both sides of the city wall one by one.

The officials had already raised a bright yellow canopy and set up a seat.

Under the yellow cover, Emperor Chongzhen, the chairman of the Ming Dynasty, was sitting there with his lips pursed, but there was no smile on his face. With him as the central axis, the cabinet ministers, the six ministries, and the clans and nobles in Beijing spread out like wings and stood respectfully behind. Unlike the emperor's solemn face, everyone was happy.

Today is a great day to review the meritorious soldiers and sacrifice the severed heads of the Jiannu to the Taimiao to comfort the kings of the past dynasties.

The so-called Chengtian Gate, which means that it inherits the heavens and is ordered by the heavens, is the main gate of the Forbidden City. Later, in the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Tiananmen.

It is precisely because this is the main gate of the imperial city that most of the national ceremonies began here.

Today, the Son of Heaven personally inspected the three armies, so the people were not allowed to approach for several miles on both sides of the Chengtian Gate, so as to facilitate the emperor and hundreds of officials to watch the ceremony.

Even so, because there were too many people who came to see the excitement today, as soon as the Qin army drove to West Chang'an Street, there were countless cheers there: "Long live, long live, long live the Ming Emperor!" ”

Listening to the voice, there were people and soldiers of the Qin army, who were obviously trained and looked very neat.

After the defeat of Baoqiushui, Emperor Chongzhen was depressed, but he was a serious person and forced himself to suppress it

。 Hearing this burst of cheers, he turned his head and asked Yang Sichang, who was standing behind him: "Have you started, I heard that it was very lively over there, I think it must be the Ningxiang Army, right?" ”

Hearing the emperor's question, Yang Sichang swept Hong Chengchou who was sitting in the back corner with the corner of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "According to Hong Chengchou's arrangement, the first to appear is Qin Jun, and then ......."

Then, the order of appearance of the army on review this time was roughly stated. But it is not only the Ningxiang Army, but only a Xuanfu Township Army.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was slightly unhappy, and he couldn't help but want to ask why he didn't let the Ningxiang army go to the forefront. But after all, he is the Son of Heaven, and according to the system, the Ministry of Etiquette and Hong Chengchou should be responsible for the reading of the army. As an emperor, if you are respectful, you will take care of everything, and it is not like words.

In the political system of the Ming Dynasty, there was a clear distinction between the power of the emperor and the power of the ministers, and sometimes they even restrained each other, and everyone maintained a relative balance. If anyone wants to take a step forward, it must be a huge ********. The temper of the civil officials is not very good, and the great etiquette of Jiajing has been in trouble for more than ten years, and Emperor Chongzhen doesn't want to make trouble because of this little thing.

No matter when the Ningxiang Army is read, I can see it today anyway, so why rush for a while.

Moreover, the emperor's mind is about joy and anger, and he can't let his courtiers figure out their own thoughts. 、

He just nodded and shut up.

Ahead, the cheers of the people still came one after another, louder than just now.

Emperor Chongzhen was annoyed in his heart: Hong Hengjiu suffered such a big defeat, but he was embarrassed to let the Qin army go to the front. Hmph, do you have a face? However, on the whole, no matter what you say about this battle, it is an indisputable fact that Jiannu was expelled from the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a great victory, but the problem is that in this battle that lasted half a year, the north has been beaten into white ground by Jiannu, what is there to boast about in such a victory, what do I do to earn this face; I'm afraid that Jiannu's side has gained a lot, but I'm afraid that they also feel that they have won an unprecedented victory.

On this occasion, everyone thinks that they have won, but in fact?

If it weren't for Sun Yuan's exploits, would today's Zhu Jie still be able to do it?

The irritability in my heart was together, and there was a sudden itch on my body, especially between my hips, which was even more unbearable

Since the news of the Battle of Baoqiu Water came, Emperor Chongzhen had a relapse of his old illness. The day was fine, but in the dead of night, the itch hit him like a tide, and it was unbearable for him. I could only keep clatching, and the sound of "swishing" nails scratching on my skin was all over the house.

The crotch and lower abdomen were covered with claw marks, and there were fistaches and blood, which looked very terrifying.

At this moment, Chongzhen almost couldn't help but put his hand into his pants and grabbed it fiercely. But in an instant, in front of so many people, if you make such an unbearable move, is it still like a monarch?

I can only endure it.

Seeing that there was a trace of annoyance on the emperor's face, Yang Sichang had been by the emperor's side for so many years, how could he not guess his thoughts. He immediately pointed ahead and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin army is here." Before this battle, the Qin army had made a name for itself in the northwest. It can be said that Shaanxi was pacified thanks to the Qin army. The minister had only heard of it before, but today he should have a good look. ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone over there couldn't help but let out a low breath.

All the officials on the Chengtian Gate tried their best to stretch their necks to look to the west at the same time, and even Emperor Chongzhen temporarily suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and turned his head to look over.

I saw that after the Qin army's procession reached a place one mile away from Chengtianmen, it stopped.

At the sound of the trumpet, the troops began to line up.

Battle flags were waved in the air, and then a ten-foot-diameter sheepskin drum was loaded on a cart and pushed out of the ranks by four men with red scarves. Behind the drum stood a tall and arm-length military man, also with a red scarf on his head.

He held two drum hammers in his hands, and when he gave the order, he threw them at the drum with all his strength.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom ......" The fierce war drums sounded, faster and faster, faster and faster, like a kite rising into the sky, rising infinitely, without stopping.

The voice was so loud that it shook the hearts of everyone on the city tower.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was upstairs in the two cities, forgot the itching on his body for a while, and looked at the past.

It can be said that it is strange to pull, the war drums are so vigorous, but the Qin army still does not move

Just when Chongzhen was puzzled, the drum hammer in the drummer's hand suddenly stopped, and struck on the copper clad next to the drum, with a crisp "Da! "A bang.

The loud sound of the drums still echoed in his ears despite the news and aftersound.

At this time, suddenly, more than 4,000 Qin troops suddenly shouted "Kill!" at the same time. ”

This sound came so suddenly that the hearts of everyone on the city tower trembled at the same time, and they were frightened.

Even the people who were jubilant and watching the excitement at the beginning of the year also quieted down at the same time.

There was no sound between heaven and earth for a moment, and it was so quiet that you could hear the needles falling.

With this sound of "killing", the Qin army began to drive forward in a group: "Long live Chongzhen Tianzi, long live Daming!" ”

The Qin army was neat, and they were all wearing iron armor, so they drove forward, but they saw that under the sun, their eyes were full of flashes of steel, like a slow stream of iron.

The armor leaves on their bodies had been thrown away by craftsmen in advance, and even the weapons in their hands didn't know how many times they had been rubbed for a while, and they were really dazzling.

Emperor Chongzhen was obviously stunned by the "kill" of the Qin army just now, seeing that the army was coming, the lineup was so mighty, "Huo" stood up, and there was a trace of excitement on his face.

The appearance of the Qin army just now was really exciting, and looking at this army, the soldiers were all tall and strong, well-equipped, and orderly, and the aura of slaughter came to the face.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand military affairs, but the fierceness of this army still obviously moved him, in his opinion, the so-called Tiger Ben Division, probably nothing more than that!

Seeing that the emperor was moved, Hong Chengchou, who was standing on the side, nodded slightly, feeling greatly relieved. secretly said in his heart: It is worthy of Yang Sichang, this arrangement is really proper. The Son of Heaven did not know the soldiers, and he could not see the difference between the armies. Cao Bianjiao performed well today, and when the Ningxiang Army came to be read, he was afraid that he would be suppressed by his limelight.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou secretly looked at the team of cabinet auxiliary ministers standing in front of him, but saw Liu Yuliang's disapproving face. He sighed unconsciously in his heart: Could it be that Liu Yuliang and Sun Yuan have other arrangements, is it impossible, can the Ningxiang army still cover the limelight of our Qin army.

With a solid heart, Hong Chengchou stepped forward half a step forward and secretly gave Yang Sichang a look

The others he thought were wrong, Liu Yuliang entered the capital early yesterday morning, and there was no arrangement for the realization. He simply believed in Sun Yuan and Ning Xiangjun.

……

"Good, good, good!"

There were cheers from the people everywhere, and when had everyone seen such a bustle, they threw the fragrant flowers and fruits in their hands into the ranks without being discouraged.

Later, I don't know who started it, but threw a copper coin into the procession. When the other people saw it, they did the same, and they all took out their pockets.

For a while, the copper coins rained down, and the armor on Qin Jun's body clanged.

Not to mention the superstitious ancients, even modern people, every time they go to a scenic spot and worship God and Buddha, they like to throw a few coins, as if they can't show their sincerity without spending some blood and money.

The eyes of the military men were sharp, and they had already seen that the emperor Chongzhen in the yellow robe on the city tower stood up the moment he first appeared, and he was proud to see that the people loved him so much. All of them grinned and smirked.

In a trance, everyone felt that they were very awesome, and this Jiannu was the one we beat away. As for the defeat of Baoqiushui, it was just an accident and did not affect the overall situation. A battle is good if you win it, and a few defeats in the middle are just a small obstacle on the way.

Seeing that his subordinates were so proud, Cao Bianjiao, who was walking under the banner of the Chinese army, was even more ashamed. He pressed his lips hard and lowered his head.

People want faces, trees want bark, we will be defeated if we lose, and we will admit it. It's a big deal, just earn back this lost face in the next fight. But taking the credit of the Ningxiang Army, and being complacent, this is too fucked up. General Hong, General Hong, if you do this, our proud Qin army will not all become two-skinned, and the morale of this army will be completely ruined.

In his heart, dissatisfaction with Hong Chengchou suddenly surged.

Yang Sichang didn't fail to see Hong Chengchou's eyes, but now it's a good time to say good things for Qin Jun and suppress the prestige of Tianxiong left by Lu Xiangsheng, but it is not the time to communicate with him.
