Chapter 36 Hui Ming XIX

The earth transmitted tremors to the soles of the feet of everyone around them, and this tremor went straight into the depths of their hearts, and everyone could clearly feel the tremendous power contained in these slow-moving tall iron-clad war horses. The armor of the heavy cavalry regiment hissed from the friction, and the pair of cold eyes behind the mask made all the children present cry in fright.

After Wang Dan entered the city, he saw that this imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty was really crowded, not only the streets were full of people standing on both sides, but even the rooftops and trees were full of people watching the excitement, and the protagonists were himself and the guards.

The escort army was still marching towards the Forbidden City in order, and the surrounding people began to discuss the escort army, and the buzzing sound came and went.

Wang Dan heard most of these people say this.

"Hey, this is the army, why haven't you seen it?"

"You don't understand, if you want to know what kind of army this is, you have to look at their weapons, don't you see all of them holding iron spears, they must be modeled after the White Ear Army of Liu Bei, the Emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms. ”

"But the storyteller didn't say that Liu Bei's soldiers are all iron lumps!"

..................

Wang Dan listened to these arguments about the armor of the guards, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, his own people are indeed very strange in the eyes of the Ming people, walking on the ancient streets for a long time, but the crowds around Wang Dan make Wang Dan feel so far away, he only felt that the world was suddenly silent, and he could only see the guards marching neatly in front of him, and the pointing of the people on the side of the street, is this the vertigo brought by the first experience of the crowd.

When we finally arrived at the gate square of the Forbidden City, the walls of the tallest building complex in Beijing were already full of people, all of whom were majestic in appearance, and they were all on guard with bows and arrows, and they seemed to be the most loyal guards of the emperor

Wang Dan is very disdainful of those appearances, because these heroic soldiers did not do anything loyal and courageous when Li Zicheng entered Beijing in history, including those civil and military ministers who were full of loyalty, everyone kowtowed to me. It's not enough to hate a thousand times.

Wang Dan asked Resarit to stop the escort outside the Forbidden City Gate and line up the parade array.

The guards of the Imperial Palace were all surprised when they saw the five thousand guards lined up in a wide steel shield wall, and when they saw a thousand heavy cavalry quietly lined up in a phalanx and walked to the side of the Imperial Guard, it was even more shocking to the people in the palace, they had never seen such a tacit cooperation with the war horses, this army was not simple, this was the common idea in the hearts of all the Janissaries.

Zhang Qianzhong was also amazed at the neatness of the guard guard of honor, this statue will definitely make the emperor happy.

He dismounted and told Wang Dan to wait for a while, and he was going to report first, and ran to the general of the Praetorian Guard, where he talked for a while.

The Praetorian Guard General ordered his hand to open the palace gate and let Zhang Quanzhong enter. and shut the gates of the palace.

The slowly closed palace door blocked Wang Dan's gaze peeping into the Forbidden City, and the Daming Palace, which was strictly forbidden by the palace, could be peeped at will by Wang Dan, a rankless weed commander.

Wang Dan carefully observed the imperial city in front of him, which represented the loyalty of the ancient government, power and loyalty, behind the tall and majestic city walls, but the tops of many palace buildings of different shapes, even Wang Dan from modern times could not help but have a sense of awe, let alone ordinary people.

After a while, the palace door opened again, and an old eunuch walked out of it, he walked to the front of the guard formation and glanced at the neat guard formation, but he snorted and said lightly, "Yo." Are these really my Ming army? ”

Seeing that no one from the escort army came out to answer the call, he suddenly felt a little contempt in his heart, none of them knew how to be a person, and they would die if they came out to take it. I don't know how to meet Shangguan, it's really some hillbillies.

However, although he looked down on it in his heart, he didn't dare to make extraneous branches because of his errands, so he shouted patiently, "Who is the general soldier of Liaodong." Come out and reply, the palace will explain the etiquette of entering the palace to face the saint. ”

Don't look at the old man is still a eunuch, the voice actually spread throughout the entire escort army array.

Wang Dan dismounted and walked towards the old eunuch with nervousness and curiosity. As he walked, he cautiously looked at the legendary eunuch.

As I got closer, I could clearly see that this eunuch had a white and bearded face, his skin was very smooth, and his face was not the sleek and vicious little figure on TV. It really looks like that, handsome! Wang Dan shuddered at the thought of this.

Before Wang Dan could walk a few times, the old eunuch who had a high-minded expression actually greeted him in person, and said to Wang Dan softly, "This must be the heroic and incomparable Wang Dan Wang Zongbing, but the emperor has been thinking about you for a long time." ”

Wang Dan secretly wanted to vomit because of the enthusiasm of the old eunuch, but fortunately, the old eunuch directly began to concisely and clearly tell the various etiquettes to be paid attention to when entering the palace, such as how to kneel, what to say, and so on.

And the only meaning that Wang Dan heard was how Chongzhen valued himself and wanted to be a loyal and good courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

In order not to be made to wear small shoes, Wang Dan, who was bored in his heart, had to try to digest the precautions for meeting the ancient emperor, but the old eunuch grabbed Wang Dan and led the way to the palace, and gave Wang Dan a make-up lesson while walking.

Wang Dan, who entered the palace gate, forced himself to write down what the old eunuch said as much as possible, while scanning this authentic ancient palace.

The guards of the imperial city with five and one post and ten guards show the royal strictness, and the palace maids and eunuchs who are silently busy will kneel on the side of the road and salute respectfully when they see the old eunuchs, and some palace maids will also secretly aim at Wang Dan, and the heat in his eyes makes Wang Dan deeply feel the sorrow of the silent woman in the deep palace.

What kind of person is Wang Dan, he was just a small common man in his previous life, and suddenly came to the most important political center in ancient China, to meet the supreme ruler of this era, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him all bowed to themselves, even if they saluted the old eunuch in front of him, but this also made Wang Dan, who had never been to the Forbidden City, feel a kind of excitement?

On the way, you pass through a wall of palaces surrounded by high walls, and from the upper part of these buildings alone, you can see the magnificence and solemnity of the ancient Chinese court.

Wang Dan followed the old eunuch to walk through the straight jade road and through several gates, and finally arrived at the square outside the main hall of the court meeting.

Watching the old eunuch respectfully bow his head and walk into the hall from the side, Wang Dare began to look at this ancient imperial square with great courage.

I saw that the square was very large, and there were white marble slabs paved with ground everywhere, and there were various carvings and paintings, with mountains and rivers. There are also all kinds of flying beasts, and the most attractive thing is the royal road in front of the main hall, there are several dragon carvings that turn the clouds and rain on it, the subtle Weixiao is extremely realistic, it is simply a work of art.

When Wang Danzheng was fascinated, he only heard the sound of the eunuch's horn coming from the main hall.

"Xuan, the general soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty dared to enter the meeting. ”

"Propaganda ,......"

The sound of the announcement sounded from inside the palace, and then the eunuchs waiting outside the hall repeated the announcement and shouted, conveying the emperor's will for everyone to hear.

Wang Dan's heart suddenly became very nervous. In the original world, I could only see those supreme leaders on TV, but now I actually enter the real imperial palace to meet the highest ruler of ancient China.

With a nervous mood, Wang Dan stepped on the white jade stairs in front of the main hall with great determination, this staircase is extremely smooth and slender, and there are protective fence walls on both sides of it that are only as high as Wang Dan's waist (Wang Dan thinks so), and the same white jade stone wall is carved with many rare birds and beasts worshipping patterns, slowly walking towards the main hall, Wang Dan seems to understand a little bit what kind of feelings those ancients had to ask to meet the supreme ruler of ancient China, Wang Dan suddenly admired the master who designed the palace so arranged. If this guy goes to the 21st century, he will definitely be a super economic man who makes the emperor superstar.

Finally walking the stairs, Wang Dan paused slightly and took a deep breath. Then he pretended to be very firm and walked towards the huge palace with golden walls in front of him.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw that both sides of the hall were full of people, on the left were all civil servants wearing civilian uniforms, and on the right were military generals wearing Ming armor, but these generals were already old men with gray beards. It's a worry that they'll get tired and crawl down at any time.

Helplessly feeling the scrutinizing gaze of these late Ming Dynasty political elites, his head was a little drowsy, and Wang Dan couldn't even distinguish the position of the left and right. But he still pretended to be calm, and his eyes did not squint, looking at the young emperor Chongzhen sitting on the dragon chair at the end of the main hall.

Chongzhen was about thirty years old, but his face was extremely pale, and his forehead was prematurely engraved with the marks of vicissitudes, and there were many gray hairs in the hair that emerged from under the emperor's beaded curtain hat. The whole person looks as weak as a heavy addict.

And at this moment, Chongzhen's face was a majestic and inviolable demeanor, but there was a look of expectation in his cold eyes, which was absolutely impossible for Wang Dan to see after he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty with at least 2.1 vision.

Wang Dan didn't have time to confirm whether he was wrong, so he only heard an old eunuch standing next to Chongzhen scolding Wang Dandao: "Be bold, don't bow your head, how can you look at the holy Tianyan casually!"

Wang Dan's heart tightened, and then he remembered that those people in the costume TV series had to kneel down and salute when they saw the emperor, he hurriedly raised his hands to make a shape to the sky, and then knelt on his knees and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, the slave has saluted the emperor." ”

He was about to put his raised hands and forehead on the ground, but he heard the civil and military ministers in the hall laughing, Wang Dan looked at these Ming elites suspiciously, and even forgot to finish the salute he was performing.

The old eunuch next to Chongzhen shouted, "Silence!" Everyone in the hall was silent like a rooster whose neck was suddenly broken, but the civil and military ministers looked at Wang Dan with more contempt.

Chongzhen also had a smile on his face, and he said to Wang Dan in a gentle tone, "You should call yourself a micro-minister, besides, what I want is not a servant courtier, but a good general like a tiger, I hope you can kill more enemy chiefs for the country, so as to protect my Ming Dynasty." ”

Wang Dan hurriedly learned to act like that on TV, and shouted again, "The minister obeys the order, this time Weichen will kill a few more traitors when he goes to the battlefield to help me put down the chaos." After he finished speaking, he made a real intimate contact between his forehead and the palm of his hand and the floor of the main hall, and the unfinished salute was finally completed.

Chongzhen smiled with satisfaction, and he said to Wang Dan, "Wang Aiqing, you should calm down first, get closer, and let me take a good look at what kind of warriors are who dare to kill in and out of the tens of thousands of Manchu Tartar army." ”

In the disbelief of the surrounding civil and military officials, Wang Dan replied helplessly, "Yes." Then he stood up and stepped forward, and under the gesture of Chongzhen's eyes, Wang Dan walked all the way to the golden staircase in front of the dragon chair.

After Chongzhen reminded, the civil and military officials paid attention to Wang Dan, this careful look was surprised to find that Wang Dan was extremely tall, the iron armor he wore was very heavy, and the iron boots actually stepped on the ground when he walked, and the sound of blunt weapons hitting each other was actually stepped on the ground when he walked。

Chongzhen looked at Wang Dan as if he was looking at a peerless beauty, and looked at it very carefully all over his body, and when Wang Dan felt uncomfortable, Chongzhen finally spoke; "Wang Aiqing will tell me and the ministers how you killed seven in and seven out of the Tartar army, and also wounded the thief chief Dorgon. ”

Recalling that night outside the city of Zhaojiabao, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry rushed towards him like a monstrous flood, and the scene when the high lightning rod jungle almost pierced the night sky, his legs trembled uncontrollably, as if the ground in the main hall was also shaking at this moment, and the terrifying sound of the Eight Banners Cavalry charging and the Ten Thousand Horses galloping and stepping on the earth still echoed in his ears for a long time.

Seeing Chongzhen and the ministers of civil and military affairs staring at him fixedly, Wang said bitterly, "Your Majesty, Weichen is not capable of killing in and out of the Tartar army, let alone hurting Dorgon. ”

Seeing Wang Dan's honest answer, Chongzhen's face was as usual, but he was secretly happy in his heart, "Finally, there is a person who is willing to tell the truth, this is the good general I want." ”

The old eunuch knew Chongzhen's thoughts very well, and when he saw that his master didn't say anything, he knew what to do, so he said loudly to Wang Dan, "Mr. Wang, you can start talking about how to get to Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and tell the emperor in detail about your experience." ”

Wang Dan steadied his mind and began to make up his own Song ancestors who were exiled to the South Seas, and in this generation he and his Western friends strayed into Liaodong due to a storm at sea, and then came out to find a way to meet Zhaojia Village and then told a series of things.

The hall was silent, the civil and military officials looked at each other, Wang Dan's experience was too rebellious, and they could only use seventeen people to make such a big battle under the noses of the Tartars in Liaodong, they could only use the emotion of astonishment and speechlessness.
