Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 514 Triumph
"Win, win again!"

In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen's excited and almost crazy cheers came. Our emperor boss held the good news, danced and danced, his whole face was full of smiles, and shouted wildly, unable to control himself.He was so happy. In the Battle of Lushun, the Ming army beheaded [-] people and captured [-] people. He had already made him smile. How long has it been since another good news came!This time the Ming army achieved greater victory, even conquering Nanguan, Jinzhou, and Fuzhou, and regained most of the Liaodong Peninsula!Although not on the front line, Chongzhen can still imagine through the short time interval between regaining the above cities that the Ming army almost beat the dogs in the water along the way, chasing all the way from Lushun all the way to Fuzhou, and finally almost all of them outside Fuzhou city. Annihilate the Hou Jin army who invaded Lushun!More than [-] people of the four banners of Houjin were killed, and only more than [-] people were left to escape with the help of reinforcements. It was extremely embarrassing!This achievement made Chongzhen ecstatic. Not to mention Tianqi, even his grandfather and his grandfather's grandfather had never achieved such an amazing achievement!
A group of civil servants exchanged a somewhat helpless look.In their hearts, they didn't want Yang Menglong to make another contribution. They were already satisfied with the result of beheading [-] people and taking [-] prisoners. Yang Menglong's military achievements were not too conspicuous, and Jin was severely weakened, so he would be honest for a while. How perfect!But they never expected that Yang Menglong was purely a mad dog, unforgiving if he had to be reasonable, and even more unforgiving if unreasonable, after the Battle of Lushun, regardless of casualties and fatigue, he just led the Ming army to chase for three hundred miles. In the end, under the city of Fuzhou, the Houjin army that invaded Lushun was destroyed, and the captives were beheaded and surrendered. More than [-] Houjin people were killed, which also means that nearly a quarter of Houjin's troops were eaten by him. Big hurt!For this battle achievement, it is enough to be named a Marquis or even a King!

God, how the hell did this guy do it?How can we suppress him in the future!
Chongzhen was ecstatic and said to Xu Guangqi: "The Ministry of Rites has made arrangements. I will welcome Yang Aiqing and Lu Aiqing at Daming Gate to review the triumphant army!"

Xu Guangqi said: "I obey the order!"

Wen Tiren left the mission and began to play: "Your Majesty, you must not do this! Daming Gate is the gate of the country and is related to the national system. General Yang and others have just come down from the battlefield, covered in blood, entering and exiting Daming Gate. I am afraid that the evil spirit will disturb..."

Chongzhen said sharply: "If someone can wipe out [-] Jiannu in one battle, even if he is covered with abscesses, I am willing to open the door and lead the horse to disarm him personally!" He put down the victory report and stood up, walking back and forth , Anger and joy alternated quickly on his face, and he became more and more excited, "Jianu... bullied me too much! Not long after I became a new treasure, they broke in before the dragon chair was hot, plundered the capital, and killed blood. Chenghe, I will never forget this humiliation in my life! Fortunately, my ancestors showed their spirits and sent down such famous generals as Yang Aiqing and Lu Aiqing. They fought bloody battles, and the three armies put their lives to the test. They finally cleared up their shame in the Battle of Lushun, and gave me a ruthless punishment. This bad breath, I... I am happy in my heart! Even if I spend all my internal money, I will reward those soldiers who have meritorious service!"

Wen Tiren winked at Hou Xun.

Hou Xun bit the bullet and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the champion Hou Yi fought to determine the world. He has made extraordinary achievements. His meritorious deeds are as high as King Kaiping and Duke Liang. No amount of rewards is too much. But Now that the national treasury is empty, not to mention the grand military parade, even the rewards for meritorious soldiers cannot be given out, can this grand ceremony be postponed for several months?"

Chongzhen let out a low growl: "As I said, even if it's a waste of money this time, we should reward the meritorious soldiers!"

Hou Xun knelt down on the ground with a groan, and said in a sad voice: "The emperor's painstaking efforts, the old minister naturally understands, but the treasury is really out of money!"

All the ministers knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, think twice, the treasury is empty now..."

Chongzhen became angry: "The treasury is empty. The treasury is empty. Don't you have anything else to say besides these words? The autumn grain has just been harvested, and tax money from all over the country has been transferred to the capital one after another. How can the treasury be empty!" With a wave, he said sharply, "Move from the Liao pay!"

Wen Tiren turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty, absolutely no! This Liao salary is absolutely untouchable!"

Chongzhen sneered: "Guan Ning's army gets several million taels of silver every year, but this time the battle has been pushed back and forth, with very little effort. I don't blame them. They have already calculated it. What can they say about embezzling a little Liao's salary? Besides, this time The slaves were severely injured this time, and it will be difficult to recover within three years, and Liao's salary can also be reduced!"

All the ministers are well aware of these reasons, but the problem is...they also have a share of Liao's salary!700 million taels of Liao salary every year, they can get at least 200 million taels if they don’t take the tribute of the generals in the west of Liao, and the annual fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty is only more than 400 million taels of silver. Now that Yang Menglong is hurting Jiannu, and Jiannu won't be able to cause any disturbances in a few years, Liao's salary will naturally be reduced, and their income will naturally shrink...Damn, wouldn't that kill them? !

Seeing the ministers bowing their heads one by one, Chongzhen knew what their plan was. He sneered and said, "If you don't have any objections, let's do it like this...make things more beautiful, don't worry about it." Let’s greet the victorious soldiers with pickles like hairworms again, otherwise, with the temper of the champion, it’s hard for me to guarantee that he won’t do anything drastic!”

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Hou Xun couldn't help shivering, and thought of the unlucky Xiong Mingyu again.Because of his quarrel with Yang Menglong, that poor kid made up his mind to wear small shoes for Yang Menglong, and greeted the Wuyang army with moldy rice and wormy pickles. As a result, Yang Menglong directly stabbed the matter in front of Chongzhen, and Xiong Mingyu was beaten to the end. Go home early for the elderly—the kind without pensions.The most terrible thing is that the rumors of the bad things he did have spread, and everyone in the world has gnashed their teeth and scolded him bitterly. Xiong Mingyu can't hold his head up for the rest of his life.My goodness, that master is notoriously hot-tempered, he doesn't want to be the second Xiong Mingyu!
Forget it, let this guy shine again. Anyway, holding such a grand ceremony will cost money. There are so many places to make money, so why bother with yourself?

After the Ming army broke through in Fuzhou, the news of Jin's success spread throughout the capital like a gust of wind, and quickly spread to the whole country.When the news spread, the capital was full of jubilation, the voices of "Long live" came one after another, and the atmosphere became frenzied.In tea houses and taverns, jokes related to the Battle of Lushun were originally very popular, but after the news of the Fuzhou victory spread, and a storyteller told such jokes again, the audience immediately quit and booed: "We don't want Listen to this, we want to hear Lu Lianshi's iron cavalry break through Jiannu's guts, and the champion marquis retreats from Huang Taiji!" Well, they have to use their brains again and work overtime to make up new jokes.Because they didn't know much about the details, in order to make the plot more full, everyone had to open their minds and add a lot of creativity, so in their mouths, the battle of Fuzhou became a battle between gods and demons, with magic weapons flying all over the sky, calling the wind and the rain That's the order of the day.According to them, Yang Menglong has become the incarnation of the god of fire, Zhu Rong, who can summon thunderous fireballs and envelop thousands of slaves in a sea of ​​flames...

In Dengzhou...

"Win! Win!"

The farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers who stayed behind shouted wildly, their joy was beyond words.For this war, Denglai's new army was mobilized. They endured huge sacrifices and won a huge victory. What could be more exciting than this!
On Daming Road...

"Lord Lu's iron cavalry broke through the enemy's formation, and Jiannu was terrified. We won!"

The first one to yell was Fan Jingwen, a civil servant. He waved the pond newspaper in his hand and jumped three feet high, so excited that he couldn't contain himself.Cheers swept across this vast land like a tsunami, and soon, the rogues who were confronting the Tianxiong Army in the Taihang Mountains at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi were surprised to find that no matter how many times they rushed, they always maintained a daunting The silent and terrifying opponent suddenly went crazy and cheered in the camp, shouting, and even raised the musket that killed an unknown number of people, and pulled the trigger at the sky again and again, the gunshots were like firecrackers It kept ringing.

What are these guys so crazy about?
The galloping horseshoe quickly spread the news to Nanyang.

The whole Nanyang City was full of jubilation. This time, the Heluo New Army really beat Jiannu badly. It is inevitable for Yang Menglong to be promoted!The bigger Yang Menglong's official position is, the bigger the territory he manages; the bigger the territory he manages, the more opportunities for everyone to follow behind and make a fortune. Is there anything more gratifying than this?

In a short period of time, half of Ming Dynasty fell into the carnival.Since Nurhachi's rebellion, the Ming army has retreated steadily, losing cities and lands again and again, and the mountains of corpses and blood outside the pass. The people of Ming have held back this tone for more than 30 years. They dreamed that the Ming army would win a big victory. Now, Their wish finally came true!
The ecstatic Chongzhen ignored the emptiness of the national treasury and issued several imperial edicts to let Yang Menglong's class teacher return to the court.Originally, Yang Menglong wanted to wait for the reconstruction work to have a clue before leaving, but Chongzhen was in a hurry to chase him, and he couldn't help it. He dragged it until August [-]th.

The soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town came in empty alleys, and reluctantly bid farewell to the army that had protected them.When Yang Menglong came, Lushun was in decline, the city was dilapidated, and the countryside was barren, but now Lushun is a bit overcrowded. Countless Liao people returned from various islands in Liaodong Bay and North Korea to reclaim military fields, dig canals, build ports, docks, and salt fields. It was them, and many bankrupt farmers from Shandong and Hebei also came to Dalian by boat one after another, hoping to try their luck in this land.As time goes by, and the arable land in Dalian is as many as one million mu, as long as they can gain a firm foothold here, sooner or later they will spread their branches and leaves here.Looking at the faces with tears of gratitude and reluctance, Yang Menglong was deeply moved, and said loudly to everyone: "Live well, the worst moment is over, and everything will be fine!"

The Liao people trembled, "Young Shuai Yang, if Jiannu comes to beat us again, will you come to rescue us?"

Yang Menglong said categorically: "Yes! I will fight wherever Jiannu came from! If they dare to follow our territory to play wild, the more than 2 corpses lying outside Erwangtun and Fuzhou City He is their role model!" He raised his hand and knocked on Li Weiluan's breastplate, and then gave Mao Yongjun another punch: "Protect these people and let them live well, if you can't do it, I will settle accounts with you!"

Li Weiluan said: "Xiao Shuai Yang, don't worry, he will definitely protect them in the end!"

Mao Yongjun was a little bit reluctant: "I really hope to go to Nanyang to see what kind of place Nanyang is, and it can breed such outstanding people as Young Shuai."

Yang Menglong laughed loudly: "After the battle is over, you can come to Nanyang anytime you want, and I will invite you to drink!"

Mao Yongjun said: "It's a deal!"

Yang Menglong said: "It's a deal!"

Although they are reluctant to leave, the army still has to leave.The Sichuan Army, Tianxiong Army, Heluo New Army, and Guan Ning Army boarded the ship one after another and set sail out of the port.Yang Menglong was the last one to board the ship. He said that he could not guarantee that every soldier would go home alive, but he could guarantee that he would be the first to go to the battlefield and the last to leave the battlefield. He kept his word.When he walked towards the Decepticon battleship along the trestle bridge, he didn't know who was leading the way. The tens of thousands of Liao people on the pier all knelt down and hissed, "Xiao Shuai Yang, you must have a safe journey! !"

Zu Dabi saw his nose a little sore, and murmured: "My ancestor has fought all his life, and this is the first time he has been loved by the people like this! It is worthwhile to sacrifice this life for them just for this love." !"

Qian Yu said: "We just did what we should do, and they are so grateful, really ashamed!"

Zu Dale looked at the Liao people kneeling on the shore, his heart was ups and downs, and then he thought about the performance of the Guan Ning army standing still and watching the tigers fight, his face was hot, and suddenly he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in impulse.Seeing Yang Menglong walking fast in high spirits, he thought of Zu Dashou unexpectedly, and sighed in his heart: "Brother, if you continue like this, you will definitely lose to him, maybe one day you will meet him in battle... The younger brother really doesn't want you to come to this point, big brother, you should cheer up, the old way really won't work!"

Yang Menglong didn't know what Zu Dale was muttering in his heart. He jumped on the boat and shouted with high spirits: "Sail to sea, we are going home!"

The Decepticon raised its sails, sailed out of the port, and embarked on its return journey.

Until there was only a little sharp sail shadow left on the sea level, the Liao people on the pier still knelt and kowtowed to it, and none of them stood up.
