"Great victory, emperor, great victory......" Wang Chengen held a piece in his hand and rushed to the Qianqing Palace, it was already night at this moment, Zhu Youzhen was already lying on the bed, but his eyelids kept jumping, so that he couldn't sleep, and he was immediately alarmed by Wang Chengen's voice.

"A big victory?" Zhu Youzhen sat up violently, and at this time Wang Chengen had already come in, Zhu Youzhen asked in a daze, "What is the big victory?" ”

"Dragon and Tiger General Zhao Yan reported that on July 16, he fought with Jianguo Lang south of Wanshou Mountain, killing 43,000 Jianguo, killing 3,000 Yanduo rebels, killing Jianguo's deputy general Abatai, rescuing 15,000 captured civilians and capturing countless battle armor. Azig led 3,000 troops to the south, 3,000 people from the Mongolian left battalion fled north, and on July 17, the vanguard battalion of the Denglai army killed 2,000 Mongolian left battalions, 1,000 prisoners of the baggage battalion, 2,000 prisoners of the Qingzhou battalion and the main general Azig, except for 1,000 Mongolian left battalions who escaped from the pass, the rest have been completely annihilated. Wang Chengen said excitedly.

Zhu Youzhen's face was full of astonishment after listening, and he tilted his head sideways in disbelief, "Huh? ”

"Your Majesty, look." Wang Chengen handed the good news to Zhu Youzhen, and then said to the palace maid on the side: "Hurry up and take the lamp." ”

The palace maid hurriedly lit the candle, Zhu Youzhen took the good news, moved his body, changed to the most comfortable position, and then took a deep breath and looked at the good news in the light of the candle.

"On July 16, our army fought with the main force of the Qing Kou in the south of Wanshou Mountain, our army's artillery was hidden and did not send to lure forward, the Kou army inlaid white flags rushed to our army's formation, and the white flags were killed, and the Qing Kou drove the Yanduo rebels forward with 3,000, and our army was killed. The next day, our army sent 9,000 rockets, 800 artillery suddenly attacked, the Qing army did not notice first, the formation was very dense, our army's firearms were like flying locusts, like nine days of thunder, killed more than 26,000 enemies, the deputy general Abatai was killed, Yu Kou was defeated, our army took advantage of the victory to pursue, and killed more than 6,000 Qing Kou, Xia Xianzhuang, rescued 15,000 people, recaptured more than 20,000 livestock, and captured countless battle armor. Azig led 3,000 remnants of his army south...... On July 17, Azig was captured in the Qingzhou camp...... The Qing Kou in the Guannai has been nearly cleared, and the Denglai army is diligent and the king is finished, so please return to Lu. ”

"Okay, okay." Zhu Youzhen trembled with excitement, read it again, and watched it again from the beginning, and suddenly Zhu Youzhen froze, and asked Wang Chengen in confusion: "Is this good news true?" ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that this great victory had come too suddenly, and at the same time he thought of those generals who had killed good people and risked their merits, and he had some doubts in his heart for a while.

"Judging from the old slave, most of it is true. Lu Xiangsheng once said that this son fought bravely, and the Denglai Army was the first among all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and then this son had a grudge against Jianyu to kill his father, and he would fight to the death. If you kill good and take the risk, you don't dare to repay so much. In addition, it must be true that the general Azig was captured alive, otherwise he would not dare to report it. This good news is only a false report at most. Wang Chengen speculated.

"Let the military department go and check it immediately." Zhu Youzhen said eagerly, and then repeated: "It's right away." ”

…… Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was summoned into the palace overnight, and after seeing the good news, Zhang Fengyi was so stunned that he didn't know what to say, a big victory? Denglai army defeated Qing Kou?

Zhang Fengyi was suspicious, but he didn't dare to slack off, and sent someone to Changping overnight to inspect the head.

The next morning, the people from the military department went to Zhao Yan's army and began to check the heads of the Qing army.

This frightened the people of the military department, but they took out the heads and checked them up and down, and were shocked to find that these heads were all real captives.

There is also the battle armor that is piled up like a dozen hills, which is also not fake. They even saw Azig and other 2,000 captured Qing soldiers.

Then they carefully counted the heads, and found that the number was not at all different from the number reported, and after confirming that the good news was correct, several people from the military headquarters hurried back to Beijing.

When Zhang Fengyi heard the return, his face changed several times, some happy and some depressed.

Zhang Fengyi was naturally happy about the victory against the enemy, but Zhao Yan was also a little depressed, his heart was really contradictory, he sat in a sedan chair tremblingly, and hurriedly entered the palace.

Although Zhang Fengyi was hostile to Zhao Yan, he did not dare to make an obstacle on the truth of the good news, after all, the facts are in front of him, if he deceived the saint, others only need to check it, then Zhao Yan also has henchmen in the court, and it is not a commodity that others can manipulate casually.

When Zhu Youzhen got the news, he shouted a few more hellos, Zhang Fengyi's old and dizzy eyes even vaguely saw the tears in Zhu Youzhen's eyes.

"Wang Chengen, the purpose." Zhu Youzhen suddenly turned his head and shouted to Wang Chengen, "The edict ordered Zhao Yan, the general of the Dragon and Tiger, to immediately lead the army to Beijing to offer prisoners." ”

Chongzhen's holy decree was issued, and all the ministers of the DPRK and China had received the news, and within half a day, the news that Zhao Yan Changping had completely annihilated the Qing army had spread to hundreds of civil and military officials in Yanjing City.

There were rejoicing, cursing, and dismaying, and within a day, the whole city was aware of it, and many people set off firecrackers to celebrate the victory.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen also ordered the Gyeonggi area to lift martial law, and the city gate was opened again.

...... "Entering Beijing to offer prisoners?" After Zhao Yan received the holy decree, he frowned, he originally planned to return to Shandong directly, but he didn't want Zhu Youzhen to disturb him into Beijing.

"The lord doesn't need to worry, the lord and the lord have made this contribution, no one in the court dares to harm the lord, if the court harms the lord, the people of the world will inevitably be cold, and the Denglai army will also lose control, and it doesn't hurt to go to Beijing." Liu Heng saw what Zhao Yan was afraid of, "It's okay to sacrifice prisoners, it's useless to keep those battle armor for our army, and it doesn't matter if you sacrifice them together, but the 19,000 war horses must be left." ”

Although Zhao Yan behaved very well at the moment, it was inevitable that he did not mean to support the army and respect himself, in case Zhu Youzhen cut Zhao Yan like Yuan Chonghuan cut Mao Wenlong, this really had to be guarded against!

However, listening to Liu Heng's explanation, Zhao Yan was relieved, the army was on the side, and Zhu Youzhen was afraid of him, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Even if there is a motive to get rid of him, it is impossible to enter the Jingshi at this time, so he can boldly enter the Jingshi.

"Hmmm! The war horse has to stay, and we won't report this. Zhao Yan agreed, these 19,000 war horses, can pull up 9,000 cavalry, double the current two cavalry battalions, with cavalry, have the ability to go west and north, as long as he is given enough time to form cavalry, it is not a problem to fight to Lake Baikal.

"Tomorrow, we will drive into Beijing."

…… In the early morning of the second day, the Denglai army carried a huge amount of booty and headed south, and the people of Changping had already received the news and flocked to the official road to welcome the Denglai army that came to the great victory.

When the Denglai army came outside the capital, the people were already welcoming them outside the city. Zhao Yan ordered the Denglai army to be stationed outside the city, and he himself entered the capital with a company of more than 300 people.

Looking at this tall and magnificent ancient city, Zhao Yan felt melancholy in his heart, if according to the original history, this ancient city would have to bear too many disasters.

Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Yan entered the capital and immediately saw the environment that made him frown, the streets were full of dust, garbage, and dirty, and in some places there was even sewage.

In such an environment, although there will be no outbreak of plague (the location of the source of the plague virus has always been a mystery, and a large-scale epidemic occurs almost every 100 years), once the plague is introduced from other places, it can cause an uncontrollable situation.

Amid the warm welcome of the people, Zhao Yan rode into the Forbidden City, then dismounted and walked towards the Taihedian Square under the leadership of a eunuch.

Obviously, Zhu Youzhen wanted to make a pilgrimage to him, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also called him 'Imperial Gate Listening to Government', which means listening to his courtiers report on state affairs at the door of his home.

The place of the upper dynasty was the Taihe Palace, while the place of the upper dynasty of the Manchu dynasty was in the harem living area.

As soon as Zhao Yan arrived at the Taihe Hall Square, he saw a row of civil and military officials who had slipped outside the Taihe Palace.

"General Zhao will wait here for a while, if Your Majesty makes an audience for you, you need to remember the ceremony of the audience." The eunuch explained to Zhao Yan the etiquette aspects that needed to be paid attention to, and then ran in to report.

Today's sun is very bright, illuminating the Taihedian Square with a bright and bright light, Zhao Yan stood there, looking left and right with a novelty.

"Where's the leopard?" Some of the nine-rank officials in front squinted at Zhao Yan and said with disdain in their hearts, but when they saw that Zhao Yan was wearing a suit of armor, it seemed that the grade was quite high, but they didn't dare to be too explicit on their faces.

At this moment, the Han general in the hall shouted loudly: "Zhao Yan, the chief soldier of Hudenglai, has come to see you." ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly straightened his clothes and stepped forward quickly. The sesame officials who despised Zhao Yan just now all looked at Zhao Yan walking in the Taihe Hall in amazement.

He ...... He...... Is he Zhao Yan? ”

"I heard that the general soldier of Denglai is very young, it must be him."

"It turns out that he is Zhao Yan."

Those sesame officials immediately showed reverence, petty officials like them did not have so many interests, their ideas were relatively simple, and they did not have too much hatred towards Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan entered the Taihe Palace, when he entered the hall, his waist was straight, his eyes were not squinting, but he just glanced slightly, and immediately saw the bigwigs of the court and the central government looking backwards, as well as the Emperor Chongzhen who was in his thirties on the dragon chair.

Zhao Yan pulled his front skirt to the side, half-knelt down, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Chief Soldier of Chen Denglai, Shandong Salt Transport Ambassador Zhao Yan knocked to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the minister, Shu Chen entered Beijing in a hurry, with his armor on his body, unable to salute." ”

"Bold." The eunuch next to Chongzhen suddenly shouted, but Zhao Yan did not have the slightest wave on his face, and he was still half-kneeling on the ground.

"It's okay, Zhao Aiqing is flat!" Chongzhen saw that Zhao Yan was wearing armor, and he really couldn't bow down, and he didn't delve into it, so he waved his hand and said, the eunuch had to take a step back.

"Emperor Xie." Zhao Yan stood up, glanced at Chongzhen slightly, and saw that he was also looking at him, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the ground in front of him.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and looked at Zhao Yan carefully, and found that Zhao Yan was not only young, but also very beautiful, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really a hero at a young age." ”

"Your Majesty has overdone it." Zhao Yan responded stereologically.

"How can it be too famous, I have thousands of ministers, who can break the building?" A big victory made Chongzhen feel very comfortable, and the grievances of the past disappeared, "Come on, give Aiqing a seat, and Aiqing will give me a good talk about the process of breaking and building." ”

The emperor wanted to listen to the detailed battle report, Zhao Yan promised, and then sat on the chair brought by the eunuch, and under Zhu Youzhen's inquiry, he told the battle process.

What to say and what not to say, Zhao Yan is clear. When Zhao Yan spoke, the ministers on both sides also listened attentively, and how the Denglai army defeated the Qing army was really too much confusion in their opinion.

"The Denglai army has an army of forty-five thousand?" When Wen Tiren heard Zhao Yan say that King Shu Qin was the scale, he suddenly interjected and asked, and Chongzhen's gaze suddenly froze.

45,000 people, far more than the limit of one general soldier.

"The Denglai army only trained more than 10,000 people to prepare for the attack on Liao, and the rest of the men and horses were temporarily drawn from various township soldiers, if there were no 45,000 men and horses, how could they win?" Zhao Yan calmly said indifferently: "At the moment of the national crisis, the people of Denglai responded en masse, saying that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and they all went to war generously. ”

"Well, it is the responsibility of a good country to rise and fall." Zhu Youzhen exclaimed, then glanced at the ministers of the court, and snorted coldly: "If all the Aiqing have Denglai people, how can the world be corrupted?" ”

The contradiction between Chongzhen and the ministers is really deep. Zhao Yan was a little inexplicable after hearing Chongzhen's praise, and only after half a sound did he remember that the sentence that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband did not seem to have appeared, and he accidentally plagiarized.

When the ministers heard Chongzhen's sarcasm, they were all silent and silent, and Wen Tiren was the same, the scene was very silent for a while, Chongzhen looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Zhao Aiqing continues." ”

Zhao Yan continued to narrate the battle, and Chongzhen was in a surging mood on the dragon chair, which was very enjoyable. After listening to the entire battle process, he asked Zhao Yan, "Did the Qing Kou master escort Azig here?" ”

"The Qing Kou lord Azig has been escorted to the capital, and the rest of the Qing Kou's heads and armor have been transported." Zhao Yan replied.

"Okay, all Aiqing will go out of the palace with me to review." Chongzhen got up and said.

"Obey." The ministers promised.

"Zhao Aiqing is with me." Chongzhen named Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Under the protection of Jinyiwei, Chongzhen led a group of hundreds of ministers to the outside of the Forbidden City, while Zhao Yan rode a horse to accompany the chariot, and his treatment made many ministers blush.

When Zhao Yan was driving next to Chongzhen's car, Zhao Yan felt sad for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he lived in the palace or the palace of the ten kings after he was born, and most of the emperors did not have the opportunity to go out of the city, and education was also the court of those ministers, and those ministers took the way of Confucius and Mencius every day to educate the emperor, the way of Confucius and Mencius has undergone modifications from various generations, and has completely become a tool for fooling the people, which was used by the ruler to control the people, but it was imposed on the ruler, which is really sad.

Zhao Yan didn't have much idea about this throne, it was better to be an emperor than to be a warlord, at least those bad debts would not be counted on his head.

At this moment, Zhao Yan strengthened his determination to be a warlord.
