Chapter 712: Sacrifice (I)

The light in the distance began to dim. At the junction of the sky, dark clouds overwhelmed the realm, and a sudden heavy rain was coming. The strong wind before the rain swept up the dust on the ground, and the air in the sky was particularly dull.

At this time, outside the gate of Jingshi, thousands of people, officials, and soldiers were looking into the distance with anticipation. They are all waiting for the victorious return of the invincible lion!

Emperor Chongzhen, who had never left the capital in his life, wore a bright yellow noble dragon robe, wore a jade crown, and held the sword of the Son of Heaven, standing at the front of the queue surrounded by a large group of noble ministers!

When he first ascended the throne, the young and vigorous Emperor Chongzhen also thought about reminiscing about the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the Ming Empire was mighty all over the world. It's just that the cruelty of reality makes him begin to sober up day by day. This vast empire is already a big ship full of holes and about to sink. And as the emperor, he spent all day worrying about mending the seams, but he could not stop the sinking of this big ship. The pride and ambition of his youth naturally retracted to the deepest part of his heart. In order for the empire to continue to exist, the diligent emperor boiled his hair white.

Emperor Chongzhen never thought that when he was the most frustrated and depressed in his life, the ancestor actually appeared? That mysterious national teacher not only saved himself at the most critical moment, but now he has destroyed the Guanwai Jianjiao who has threatened the Ming Dynasty for decades in a war! Da Ming, in this desperate situation, he actually came back to life!

The hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China have already been sent out by him. Start with Qian'an and Yongping. From the first assistant of the cabinet to the Hanlin Academy. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty greeted them all the way and bowed down. Bow and thank you to the soldiers who won a brilliant victory for the country, which is no less significant than the battle for the founding of the country!

Emperor Chongzhen called this war a great victory unseen in a century, and any form of celebration is not an exaggeration. Previously, Jingshi had been celebrating for many days. At this time, the vanguard soldiers and horses of the new army had already driven to the outside of the Beijing Division, and Emperor Chongzhen, who had been in the inner palace all the year round, also left the Forbidden City very rarely, and personally came to the outside of the Beijing Division to welcome the triumph of the army!

The wind has risen, but the rain has not yet come.

The eunuchs beside him did not dare to persuade Emperor Chongzhen to take shelter from the impending storm for the time being. Which one of them who can stay with the emperor is not a character with strong eyesight? If anyone dares to persuade the emperor to leave first to avoid the rain when the emperor is at the peak of his interest, it will really be blinding.

The emperor's guard of honor was propped up. The gorgeous dragon canopy shielded Emperor Chongzhen. The thick cloak of the dragon was also worn. Now everyone is waiting for the return of the new army.

The wind that blows for a long time just doesn't rain. Even if the sky is already full of dark clouds. It's as if God is waiting for something. After a while, the dense crowd suddenly stirred. I don't know when a large number of flags poured out on the official road in the distance! All kinds of flags are waving in the wind, and they are endlessly spread all over the official road.

The low and melodious sound of military trumpets and snare drums carried by the wind to the ears of everyone outside the city. Everyone unconsciously tidied up their appearance. Even Emperor Chongzhen was no exception. He pulled his cloak and stroked the beard on his chin. The slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that he must be in a very good mood at the moment.

The army is triumphant and back!

The people who opened the way ahead were all gorgeous honor guards sent out by the Ministry of Rites. It was impossible for Gao Yang to engage in so many fancy things when he was training the new army. Behind these guards of honor were the selected vanguard units of the New Army. Everyone was in good spirits and wearing brand new uniforms. The weapons on his shoulders were polished, and his personal equipment was neat and clean. The chin was raised slightly, and everyone's faces were full of confident smiles! Destroyed 100,000 prisoners in World War I. They are now the real powerhouses in the world.

"Engaging in this kind of thing can greatly improve the morale of the people, which is very useful for the Ming Empire at this time." Gao Yang raised his head and looked at the dim sky. Said softly.

"I know." The origin responded, "A country that has been losing wars for many years has rarely had a big victory. If there is no good celebration to boost the morale of the people, then there is no need for this country to exist. ”

"It's rare." Gao Yang said with a smile on his face: "You can actually understand." ”

"Hmph." The origin snorted coldly, and said angrily, "The battle is over." Li Zicheng heard that you defeated the Manchu Qing outside the pass, and after the triumph of the army, he hid on the side of Xuanda and did not dare to come out. What's next for you? ”

"What else can I do?" Gao Yang shook his neck, frowned slightly, and reached out to cover his mouth and nose. Looking at the dust flying everywhere dissatisfied. whispered, "Go home for the holidays." I need to enjoy my vacations with my family now. ”

"You don't care about this side of things?" The origin was puzzled, "And in modern time and space, where the alien fleet doesn't care?" ”

Gao Yang laughed loudly: "Can I take care of so many things, I?" There's not much more to do here. Let the biochemical warriors form a good staff and keep all military power firmly in the hands of the staff. At least the military power of the Forces nouvelles. Continue to expand the size of the army and provide the basic necessities of life to the general population. I'd rather turn the Ming Empire into a military state like Prussia. I don't want to let those big turbans continue to moan and ruin the country without disease. As for Li Zicheng, can he still be counted as a matter in front of me? Just let the cyborg soldiers with a large army and you can kill him. It's just not time yet. The actions he carried out to purge the Ming vassal kings and magnates were still quite useful for the future of the country. I settled Beizhili first, and then chased him all the way to the place where it was cleared. ”

"That's a good idea." Yuan nodded and said, "Those Ming vassal kings and magnates are indeed parasites of this empire. If this heavy burden is not cleared, the empire will have no motivation to move forward at all. borrowed Li Zicheng's hands to clean up all those parasites. You're amazing! "If the origin can be anthropomorphized, then he will definitely give Gao Yang a thumbs up at this moment to show his appreciation!

Gao Yang waved his hand and said softly, "What is this?" I just use the things invented by my ancestors. How many people in the descendants of Yan and Huang won't use it? ”

"But the royal people live in good conditions, and they are all so able to give birth. Even if all the vassal kings in the world are killed, as long as the empire continues to exist. It won't be many years before the descendants of Emperor Chongzhen will fill this world again. What to do then? Origin asked.

"How do I know what to do?" Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't give that emperor's majesty a popular science family plan, right?" If it really comes to that time. The fate of this empire will naturally be decided by the people of that time. I can't handle it. ”

"Okay." The origin also laughed, and said with a smile: "If you want to rest, then rest." You're really tired during this time. You can't do it all by yourself. ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang answered, raised his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen, who took the initiative to greet him in the distance, and stretched out his hand to pull the cloak. He whispered, "Before that, I have to have a good chat with His Majesty the Emperor." ”

......

The afternoon storm came without surprise. Between lightning and thunder, the majestic rain poured down. Thoroughly water the entire dry earth. There was darkness between heaven and earth, and the lightning that pierced the sky from time to time reflected the faces with different expressions.

Zhu Youzhen, whose dragon robe was already wet by the violent raindrops, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly. Gritting his teeth, the corners of his mouth kept twitching as he looked at the Manchu captives who kept passing in front of him. After many years of deep hatred and hatred, I can finally see this happy scene at this moment. Zhu Youzhen, who was excited, suddenly had a feeling of having no regrets in this life!

This is the city wall of the inner city gate of the capital division, and the various rules and procedures of the Ministry of Rites have not been completed after the army arrives in the capital division. The pouring rain was already pouring down. Gao Yang, who was already impatient, directly waved his hand and interrupted the endless etiquette of the big headscarves of the Ministry of Rites. For so long, they didn't even finish the paperwork. Gao Yang can't wait.

stepped forward and invited Emperor Chongzhen to go to the city with him to watch the results of the battle directly. Gao Yang didn't want to hear or ask about other things.

The Sergeants of the New Army had military ponchos in their individual equipment. When it rains, just take it out and put it on. Emperor Gao Yang and Chongzhen and those civil and military officials don't care, with their status and status, they won't let the rain drench.

The onlookers were enthusiastic, except for a few who ran home. The rest of the crowd either raised their oil umbrellas or found a place to hide. I just don't want to miss this once-in-a-century scene at this moment.

On both sides of the straight avenue stood the officials of the Shuncheon Mansion who maintained order and the soldiers who stayed behind in the Beijing camp. They can't go into battle to fight, but they can still do it to maintain law and order in the city. After a large wave of dragoons in the vanguard of the avenue passed, a long line of Manchu prisoners of war was dragged up the avenue. And the hustle and bustle of the people of Beijing has also reached the most ** at this time!

......

"This person is the third-class Ang Bang Zhangjing, who was given the name 'Baturu'. Known as the 'first warrior of Manchuria', Aobai! Wu Xiang, who was standing behind Emperor Chongzhen, stretched out his finger and pointed to a burly man who was tied up by iron chains and dragged all the way by several soldiers, and said hatefully: "When attacking Phi Dao, it was this person who presided over the slaughter of the island, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were all killed under his butcher's knife. A cold-blooded butcher! During the Battle of Jinzhou, he also took the lead, and it took five formations in a row to defeat the army of Hong Rebellion. Entering the customs a year ago, it was also the main one who plundered Beizhili and Shandong! A few days ago, the army was fighting a bloody battle outside the pass, and this fang held a ......"

Gao Yang leaned quietly on the wall of the city gate. Holding his arms in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Squinted his eyes slightly at the dark sky where dark clouds rolled and lightning thundered. completely turned a blind eye to Wu Xiang's flattery and cuteness not far away. His mind was not set on this at all. Everyone has their own way of survival, and he doesn't care about this kind of thing. (To be continued.) )
