When Liu Yance came to the outside of Jinzhou again, he was full of emotion.

At the beginning, Liu Yan led tens of thousands of soldiers of the New Army to support the Songjin front, and Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Ma Ke, Tang Tong and others who fought together are now all gone.

It's just that Cao Bianjiao and Yang Guozhu are martyred in battle, and they died for the stability of China, and they will definitely leave a strong mark in the long river of history.

And Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, Wang Pu, Ma Ke, Tang Tong and others are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army were entering Jinzhou City, and the people in the city looked at the mighty Wang Shi, and they all cheered happily, but after Liu Yan and Zhu Cihong rode into the city, their expressions were very unsightly.

As an important town in eastern Liaodong, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not persecute the people in the city too much, so there are still a lot of people in the city, with a population of tens of thousands.

It's just that the Manchu Qing Dynasty forcibly promoted the policy of shaving hair in various parts of Liaodong, and at this time, all the men in Jinzhou City had a money rat-tail hairstyle. Of course, there are also many people who saw that the Ming Dynasty had recaptured Jinzhou City, and saw the Qing Emperor fleeing with his soldiers and horses in embarrassment, so he directly shaved off the "pig tail" on his head.

So Liu Yan saw a hairstyle similar to the yin and yang heads of the old and young left behind after the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later film and television works, the heads of those men were bare, only a small handful of hair remained on the back of the head, and after shaving off the braids, the remaining hair was scattered, which was very ugly.

Zhu Cihong frowned slightly, and said: "Tartar is Tartar, such an ugly hairstyle, it is even shameless, let the people of the Ming Dynasty also implement it like this, it is really perverse!" ”

Liu Yan nodded in agreement, it can be said that the aesthetics of the Han nation are the most gorgeous, noble, and wealthy on the planet, and the hairstyle and clothes are the most direct embodiment.

What is Huaxia?

The beauty of uniforms is called the flower, and the great etiquette is called the summer!

The beauty of the costume is the Hanfu, and the etiquette includes the style and rank of the Han people's hairstyle, crown and hat. The crown of the Ming Dynasty has absorbed the essence of thousands of years of cultural relics in China, and it can be said that it has reached the gorgeous peak of Hanfu in all dynasties, which is unprecedented.

And since the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's clothing can also be said to be the last, whether it is the Republic of China or the new China ~ country, in terms of the gorgeousness of the clothing, the depth of the background, etc., has never surpassed the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Yan has always believed that the clothing of a nation represents the spirit of the nation.

Why was the Manchu Qing Dynasty able to colonize China for more than 200 years with an extremely backward social structure, brutal ruling methods, tyrannical governance strategies, and a stupid and ignorant ruling class?

In addition to the problems in China itself, there were a large number of gentry groups and military generals who fought for their own personal interests and became traitors, acting as pawns for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to invade and occupy China, and another important reason was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty ordered to shave their hair and change clothes at the beginning of the customs, which interrupted the spirit of resistance of the Han nation from the spiritual level, and made the Han nation sleep for nearly three hundred years!

The Han nation, without its spirit, is like a sleeping dragon, which did not gradually wake up and regain its majesty until three hundred years later. However, the legacy of the Manchu colonization of China was not completely cleaned up until 300 years later.

Liu Yan remembered that in his previous life, it was already the 21st century, and there were still some old and young Tatars, or descendants of the Tartars' coated minions, who sang praises for the Manchu Tatars on the screen, or dressed themselves as so-called "Gege", wearing so-called "Tang costumes" and cheongsams to swagger through the market.

In Liu Yan's view, such a move is tantamount to wearing the military uniform of the invading Japanese army, holding the sun flag to show off his might in Nanjing, which is tantamount to wearing a kimono and taking a selfie laughing in front of a mass grave!

At this time, Liu Yan took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, pointed to the people on both sides of the road, and said to his subordinates: "Pass the order, all men in the land recovered by the army must immediately shave off the pig's tail on their heads!" And if you want to shave it, shave it clean, don't shave off the pig's tail, there are still roots! ”

"Order!"

On the same day, there was a lively scene inside and outside Jinzhou City, almost every household was shaving their braids, and those people who had not shaved clean also returned home and shaved their heads.

That night, Liu Yan held a military meeting in the palace of Jinzhou City, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong also attended the meeting.

Liu Yan looked at the generals present, Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Zhang Yi, Wang Bo, and Miao Shao sat in front, and the deputy commanders and generals of each army sat behind their respective officers, and he was very happy in his heart.

The army has been out of the customs until now, the casualties of the soldiers of the various departments are not large, it can be said that it is far lower than Liu Yan's psychological expectations before the war, and the collapse speed of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is even more than Liu Yan's prediction, it can be said that the army is defeated like a mountain, it seems that the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a perverse anti-human group, is not far away!

At this time, the generals asked for battle, believing that the army should continue to pursue the main force of Dolgon's army in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Liu Yan laughed and said: "The officers and men of the Eastern Route Army have been fighting intensively all the way, and the officers and men of all departments are very tired. Moreover, now that the Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Armies of the Wehrmacht are all in the rear and are on their way, if we continue to rush to pursue the enemy, it will inevitably cause the dispersion of our troops. ”

"Therefore, my father decided to rest in Jinzhou City for two days, and at the same time sent Ye Buhui to get in touch with the rear armies, and ordered all armies to come and converge as soon as possible."

The generals were all surprised when they heard this, even if there was a sea route army blocking the main force of the Qing army in the area of Haizhou Wei and Gaizhou Wei, but with the strength of the main army of the Dolgon tribe and the combat power of the trapped beasts, would the sea route army led by Zheng Zhilong be able to resist it? If Dolgon leads his troops to break through the defense line of the Sea Route Army, the situation in Liaodong will change unpredictably!!

So the generals expressed their opinions.

Chen Xun said: "Ge Lao, it is better for the lower officer to lead the first army to pursue and bite Dolgon's department, and Ge Lao will lead the main army to rest here." ”

The rest of the people rolled their eyes at Chen Xun for a while: Why did you lead the army to take the first step?

Miao Shao, Zhang Yi and others also asked for battle, and they wanted to take the first step to pursue the Qing army.

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Hehe, you don't need to worry, my father predicts that Dolgon can't escape, so we don't have to rush these two days." ”

Seeing Liu Yan's resolute attitude, everyone had no choice but to give up, and immediately under Liu Yan's deployment, the armies began to garrison inside and outside Jinzhou City.

Chen Xun led the First Army of the National Defense Army to garrison the city, and the rest of the Second, Third, Fourth, and Sixth Armies were stationed in the four directions of Jinzhou City.

"The night of the various armies should be investigated around, with the focus on probing to the north, and the traces of the Dolgon department should be bitten and provided military news for our Eastern Route Army."

"Yes."

After the end of the military discussion, Liu Yan held a banquet in the palace to entertain the crown prince Zhu Cihong, which was actually some simple meals, after all, in wartime, the kitchen that could be found could not make any luxurious dishes.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yan asked with a smile: "It has been nearly a month since the army left the customs, does Your Highness have any feelings?" ”

The reason why Liu Yan insisted on taking Zhu Cihong out of the customs to fight was to build a good relationship with Zhu Cihong and cultivate a qualified prince for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, a qualified next-generation emperor can greatly reduce the difficulty of Liu Yan to improve the political system of the Ming Dynasty and improve the chances of success.

At this time, Zhu Cihong thought for a while and said: "Before leaving the customs, this king knew very little about the people's suffering, the situation in Liaodong, and the general trend of the world. The king's knowledge of these circumstances was known from the court's companions, who were full of sages and sages, and had nothing practical at all. Listening to a hundred words from them, it is not as direct as this king going out of the palace to see it in person! ”

"Good!"

Liu Yan laughed, very satisfied with Zhu Cihong's performance, after all, Zhu Cihong is only sixteen years old, and it is indeed very rare and not easy to have such a cognition and dare to overturn the words and deeds that he has been exposed to since he was a child.

"Your Highness can say this, my father is very happy in his heart, it seems that the revival of the Ming Dynasty is in sight, and the Ming Dynasty has the Ming Jun again!"

Zhu Cihong's face turned red when he heard this, and he said: "Daming has an old pavilion, and it is really revival in sight!" ”

That night, Liu Yan and Zhu Cihong dispersed happily.

The next day, the officers and men of the Eastern Route Army rested for a day, and obtained the next batch of money, food, and material supplies in Jinzhou City.

It was at noon on this day that Xu Ming and Qian Liang led the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army of the National Defense Army to arrive at Jinzhou City. Immediately afterwards, Shen Tuo led the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army to Jinzhou City.

The heads of the Qing generals captured by the soldiers of the two routes, as well as a large number of captures, were sent to the Chinese army.

Liu Yan and Zhu Cihong went to the city colonel to inspect it, especially when they saw the head of Prince Yi Babutai, Zhu Cihong was even more overjoyed, and immediately said: "This king will personally write to His Majesty and the cabinet to ask for merit for meritorious soldiers!" ”

Then, in the afternoon of the next day, after the main force of the East Route Army left the customs, Jia Hongyu, a national defense army of the Ninth Army stationed at Shanhaiguan, led the army to Jinzhou City.

Jia Hongyu led the army from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou City, and saw the battlefield ruins such as Guangning Zhongqiansuo City, Gaoling Station, and Guangning Qiantun Acropolis.

And Jia Hongyu is even more so, he has never fought with Liu Yan, nor has he made any great contributions, but he was promoted by Liu Yan to the chief officer of the Ninth Army of the National Defense Army, which made Jia Hongyu have an unsteady feeling in his heart, thinking that he was "unmeritorious" and completely "taken care of" by Liu Yan.

Therefore, Jia Hongyu held back a lot of strength in his heart, and wanted to lead the army to make great contributions on the battlefield in Liaodong, so as to block the mouths of others, stabilize his heart, and make Liu Yan, who promoted himself, have a bright face.

In the palace, after settling down the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army of the National Defense Army, Jia Hongyu specially went into the city to meet Liu Yan, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the lower officials meet the elder of the pavilion!" ”

After speaking, regardless of Liu Yan's obstruction, Jia Hongyu knelt down and saluted, and then sat on the chair carefully, but only sat on half of his buttocks.

"How's the defense of Shanhaiguan?"

Jia Hongyu said: "Elder Ge rest assured, the Ministry of National Defense has mobilized 10,000 thousands of soldiers from the Baohe Battalion (Baoding Mansion and Hejian Mansion) stationed in Shanhaiguan from Beizhili, and there will be no problem with the rear road of the army. ”

"Well, that's good!"

Then Liu Yan and Jia Hongyu chatted for a long time, during which Jia Hongyu also expressed his worries, Liu Yan said with a smile: "General Jia's grades in the Huangming Military Academy are very good, which shows that General Jia is capable of leading an army, don't think about it, just do a good job." ”

"Yes, the elder of the pavilion has learned a lesson, and the lower officials must keep it in mind."

After sending Jia Hongyu away for a while, Liu Yan also shook his head with a smile, he didn't expect that Jia Hongyu, the official of the year, would have today's scenery, but he became his subordinate general.

Immediately, Liu Yan ordered someone to come and said: "Immediately inform the officers and men of all armies that the army will set off early tomorrow morning to pursue the remnants of the Manchu Qing in the direction of the Liao River!" ”
