On the upper floor of Chongwenmen City, Feng must have stepped on the battlements and looked at the Beijing city shrouded in the fog after the snow.

As a martial artist, he will not be too sad, but as a little brigadier general who has not yet been titled, this is the second time he has led troops into Beijing City, and those red-clothed generals in the country still don't know how jealous they are, which makes Feng must have secretly felt a little furious, and he can't help but be shocked by the majestic and magnificent spirit of Beijing City.

The sound of footsteps like a tide pulled back his mind, and Feng must have looked down at the city gate tower again, and the soldiers with muskets on their shoulders were marching into the city, and the colorful military uniforms were put together like streamers, breaking through the dusty northern capital.

The blue-clothed and white-crossed belt is the Fubo Army, the gray, blue, black and other colors are the servant armies of the Nanyang countries, the gray-yellow is the Japanese army, and the brown-yellow is the Korean army, all neatly dressed, fully equipped, with muskets and bayonets on their shoulders, and from time to time there are horse teams holding sabers walking by, and there are horse-drawn artillery carts between the queues, and a chilling solemn murderous aura will harmoniously integrate the different colors of this section. When Feng must have lost his mind a little because of the atmosphere of Beijing City, on both sides of the street below, countless Beijing citizens were shocked and silent.

There was no need for the Twelve Nation Coalition to enter Beijing, but Qingfu, Zhang Tingyu and other Manchu officials who stayed behind in the Manchu Dynasty had passed this "request" to Chen Run openly and secretly, on the one hand, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was afraid that the signing of the "Tanggu Agreement" would provoke another popular uprising, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the Empress Dowager Cichun would unload the mill and kill the donkey. In short, letting the coalition army enter the city of Beijing shows that the southern barbarian army is strong, and the imperial court has done its best. As for whether the Nanban will take the opportunity to seize the city of Beijing...... Seeing how the Queen Mother ran so badly, she knew that she had no confidence in holding Beijing City, so it was better to be cheerful and pin her hopes on Nanban's compliance with the treaty.

Therefore, the coalition army sorted out a guard of honor of 8,000, with dozens of four-pound cannons, from Chongwen Gate to the Forbidden City outside the noon gate. Engage in an armed march.

The army composed of light infantry, battalion infantry artillery and several battalions of sentry cavalry was less than 10,000 people, and compared with the restless momentum of the 100,000 or so people in Beijing before, the momentum of this army was as condensed as substance. Like lead and iron, it pressed down on the hearts of the onlookers. The people caged their sleeves, shrunk their necks, and lowered their heads, and they aimed at the army from the corners of their eyes, not daring to look at the officers and soldiers in the queue.

"Why didn't you see the red clothes? Didn't you say that the red clothes were the Southern Barbarian Army? ”

"It's the blue clothes that came, don't underestimate the blue clothes, they are sitting on a warship. He who fights all over the ocean. ”

"Red? When you see the red clothes, Beijing City will not be in the Qing Dynasty. ”

There are still people muttering and talking in private, and they are even more bold in their opinions.

"Tsk, look at the gun, look at the cannon, and the horse! Ordinary creeps all carry fragments, and they are exactly the same, but they are issued by everyone? ”

"Fragments!? It's really unheard of! The leather boxes on the front and back of the waist are gun magazines, spare lead gun powder, needlework medicine boxes, gun knife oil boxes, and paper and pen slot boxes. On the waist side is a leather kettle and a bag of dry food. Just this set of leather goods, the original goods will be sold for six or seven taels of silver on the black market! ”

"What's on the back of your ass? Each has its own tricks, and the blue-clothed soldier is a machete. The red-clothed soldiers are more finely divided, such as the Tibetan Miao Yao soldiers, who will hang short horizontal knives, and the Han soldiers basically carry small steel shovels, hey, that thing slaps on the head, it is sharper than an axe! ”

"Leather boots under your feet, blankets and rain gear on your backs, and everyone above the non-commissioned officer has a short gun, those soldiers? They have plenty of money. I bought it myself. ”

"Just look at these skins, do you know that their guns are different from the guns of our officers and soldiers? The barrel was bored in a circle, and the gun hit farther than the cannon! A mile away to say that you will be hit in the eye, and you will never be hit in the nose! Why didn't the soldiers of the three battalions dare to fight with the Nanban? They're hitting you from a mile away, and you have to be a hundred steps closer to hit someone! How can this be fought? ”…,

"It's just a gun, look at the gun. Don't look at the small cannon, it can hurt people ten miles away, and there is no living thing in one shot! You haven't seen what is happening in Tanggu, the mountain-like giant ships, hundreds of cannons, Dagukou is flat in an instant, and it's a fart! ”

This group of Manchu military fans, who had been cultivated by Yinghua newspapers and various rumors, became more and more energetic, but after the momentum passed, they were extremely depressed.

"Cut! It's nothing more than a tool profit, didn't the Ming Dynasty have anything back then, and it wasn't that we took the world by our Qing Dynasty......"

"Yes, after all, it was the court that was scared! really showed the momentum of Black Mountain and White Water back then, and it was not that he couldn't fight with Nanban. ”

Finally, some people expressed their unwilling feelings, which caused everyone to remember the great achievements of the "ancestors" outside the customs.

"Where did this weapon come from?"

People who have a bit of a thinking spirit think deeply and feel extremely puzzled.

The companion continued to disdain: "Isn't it just by connecting foreigners? If our Qing Dynasty hadn't been cut off by the Southern Barbarians, could we continue to borrow the power of those foreigners in Spain and use it in the foreign attraction, and the overall situation would have been able to get to this point? ”

The person who thought about it took a deeper level, shook his head and said, "Why can Nanban borrow the benefits of foreigners?" Why don't foreigners associate with us in the Qing Dynasty, but only recognize the Nanban? ”

The disdainful man sneered: "They are all beasts that do not pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, of course, there is a nest of snakes and rats!" ”

Someone else coughed and corrected: "Let's not mention that the Nanban defeated Luzon, which was only won by the Spaniards, didn't they fight with the Britons in Tianzhu before?" I think it's still the Nanban who has subdued the foreigners, and the defeat is secondary, and it is not as simple as a tool to convince the foreigners. ”

A man with misty eyes, the young man who had been silent all the time sighed and spoke: "Not to mention Luzon and Tianzhu, the Nanban has been fighting with the Rakshasas and Dzungars for many years in Uriya Sutai, Beihai and the Western Regions, and the Rakshasas have been so defeated that they even lost the city of Erkou. Looking at the newspapers of the Nanban, the head of their Praetorian Guard Department, Yu Hanyi, was appointed as the protector of the Beiting Empire, and Beihai was afraid that it was all in his pocket. ”

"Back then, Kangxi fought with the Rakshasas in Yaxa, captured more than 100 Rakshasa people, made up a collar, and paraded the streets during the New Year's holidays. Can ...... now As soon as the Nanban was casually entangled, twelve vassal states sent troops to follow into the city of Beijing. These feudal states, including Japan, which was still fierce in the Ming Dynasty and entered Korea, have had feudal soldiers serving the Southern Barbarians for many years, and it is said that the feudal clans are not afraid to fight to the death in order to seek the origin of the Southern Barbarians, what is this? ”

The young man closed his eyes, and his words contained endless yearning, but with a painful entanglement: "Far away all come to vote, sacrificing your life to seek Han fame." This is the temperament of the Han and Tang Dynasties! Nanban? That's how Liaojin called the Great Song Dynasty back then, do we compare ourselves to Liaojin? ”

The crowd was silent, and some of the people who only secretly looked at the marching column began to raise their heads slightly, after a long time. Someone muttered in a low voice: "Actually, my family has always been Han ......"

When the young man opened his eyes again, there was already a trace of firmness in his eyes, and no one could hear his self-muttering: "Huaxia and God, this is what we should keep, but it's a pity...... This army has not yet come to restore the land, so I don't know how long it will take to wait one day. ”

On the upper floor of Chongwen Gate City, a voice sounded beside Feng Must: "Twelve years ago. His Majesty said in Guang'anmen that he would definitely come back, but I don't know how long he will have to wait. ”

Feng must have turned around in surprise: "Xiaobai!?" ”

What caught his eye was Bai Zhengli's tangled face: "Lao Tzu's sons have all joined the army, and his daughters are married, and he is still called Lao Tzu Xiaobai!?" ”

Feng must have smiled: "I remember Xiaobai, who was saved by me in the Battle of Sanpeng, Lao Bai is your father, oh...... I'm sorry. ”

Bai Zhengli glanced at him, and said with a slightly depressed face: "It's okay." His Majesty withstood great pressure to allow my father to take care of his old age, and he was grateful to Dade all day long. ”…,

Bai Yanding is not only involved in the Wang Shishen case. It is also related to the assassination of Er Chen, the emperor only sent a trivial crime, and allowed him to live with Zhou Ning's old ministers in Baicheng, which caused a lot of controversy. The emperor resisted stubbornly, and the founding fathers were greatly relieved.

The emperor's move to allow the local government to arrest the generals in this matter also shows that the emperor does not protect the founding fathers with national law, but only protects them with personal feelings, and a group of nobles who regard themselves as old men have to weigh whether they have enough face to let the emperor be extrajudicial and gracious, so they have to restrain their hands and feet. Of course, the main reason is that the legal system in the country was encouraged by this, and changed its previous attitude of shrinking in the face of the nobles, and took the initiative to attack and pick up the thorns of the nobles, so that they had to be more cautious in their duties.

After Bai Yanding's matter is over. The Praetorian Guard Department was also sent down because of the carelessness of guarding Wang Shi, and Yu Hanyi was in charge of the military and political affairs of Beiting with the rank of lieutenant general, but he only got the protection of Beiting, not the former Beiting Metropolitan Protector of Zhang Hanwan. Although there is a reason why the Beiting matter is close to being decided, there is no need to join the army, and there is no need to set up a large capital protectorate, but no matter how you look at it, Yu Hanyi was deposed by the emperor.

The times are turbulent, these internal affairs are no longer the attention of the country, Feng must be relieved that Bai Zhengli can let go of his father's affairs, but he is more concerned about the things that Bai Zhengli handles.

Feng must have asked: "Do you think you will come in ten days and a half months, and this is how it will be done in Japan?" ”

Bai Zhengli shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "It's a trivial matter, Japan is not South Korea and North Korea, I just followed Lin Peng to see two ceremonies, and let the sons and daughters do two landing exercises, and the rest will be handled by the General Affairs Hall." ”

Under Bai Zhengli's understatement, there were countless unjust souls in Japan, as well as the endless remorse of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Choshu domain. The Tokugawa shogunate collapsed, a new shogun was replaced, the lord of Choshu and several important ministers of the domain involved in the assassination, and even Emperor Sakuracho almost abdicated.

Then Bai Zhengli smiled and said: "Let's talk about Japan tonight, I'm just stopping by to bring you something, and then I'm going to enter South Korea and replace General Han." ”

Feng must have been stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Congratulations Xiaobai, you keep saying that it is a trivial matter, but you have given you a title!" ”

Han Zaixing, who commanded the "Volunteer Army" in South Korea, is a lieutenant general in the army, and Bai Zhengli replaces Han Zaixing, and the original rank of brigadier general will definitely be upgraded by one level.

Bai Zhengli said: "Don't you ask me what I brought you?" ”

Under Feng Zheng's suspicious gaze, Bai Zhengli took out a small sandalwood box, opened it and saw that a pair of golden double-star epaulettes caught his eye, Feng must have swallowed his saliva, and said in his mouth: "You kid, just deliberately use your epaulettes to anger me!" ”

Bai Zhengli smiled and handed it to Feng Ding, whose face was already red: "Don't be hypocritical, you have been thinking about this thing for a long time, General Zhaoyong!" Much better than my rustic General Yangwu. Boss Xiao relayed the emperor's dictation and said, I was going to wait for you to go back and give it to your face, but in front of the Tartars, there must be a titled general to accept their 'sincerity', so I will bring it to you first. ”

He sighed again: "Congratulations, the Fubo army is under control, Major General Feng must be!" General Zheng Lao was transferred to the post of Chief of Military Law of the Commander-in-Chief, and I also went to South Korea, and the Fubo Army will be handed over to you. ”

Feng must have been waiting for this title and the epaulette of the major general for a long time, and took it with a smile, but he was not in a hurry to change it, turned to the south, and after stepping on the salute, he said again: "The Tartar is really not angry, how good would it be if he could fight?" I'm still thinking about the rank of lieutenant general or even general. ”

Bai Zhengli looked at the marching army that was still entering the city, and said proudly: "There is no place for us on the Tartars, our battlefield is the whole world!" (To be continued)
