The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 173 Heroes Triumph
In the afternoon, the soldiers who went out of the city to intercept Jiannu returned to the city one after another, with satisfied smiles rippling on the dirty faces of many soldiers.

Finally, the knights of the "Red Banner Army" entered the city. The team of [-] horses was truly mighty. The blood-stained and murderous knights made many onlookers feel the chill in this scorching heat.

Zheng Guochang, who was waiting in line at the south gate with the civil and military generals, shouted loudly: "All the civil and military generals got off their horses and greeted the triumphant hero."

After speaking, he took the lead in jumping off his horse and bowing his fists. Qin Liangyu immediately got off his horse and saluted. Ma Xianglin, Zhou Zongwu, Deng Qi and other generals who entered the city first were all of higher rank than Huang Han. At this time, everyone dismounted and stood up to salute. .

Everyone is convinced that this battle is undoubtedly the most important achievement since the Liao Dynasty, and the first general should of course be treated with courtesy.

How could Huang Han dare to be arrogant at this moment, he quickly got off the saddle and knelt down and said loudly: "My lords, you generals must not be like this, I can't afford to be a lowly post!"

Zheng Guochang said loudly: "Huang Han, the leader of the 'Red Banner Army', can't be treated like us. Who else in the world can be treated like that? I respectfully welcome General Huang to lead his warriors into the city!"

Qin Liangyu also said loudly: "The general's skillful ambush has achieved great merit, and he deserves this honor. I am willing to lead the horse and fall for the general."

Civil officials and military generals all said in unison: "Welcome the general to enter the city!"

The proud knights of the "Red Banner Army" suffered casualties in bloody battles and no one shed tears. The sense of honor at this time made many warriors burst into tears.

How could Huang Han dare to ask Qin Liangyu to lead the horse, he held Qin Liangyu's iron arm tightly with one hand, and led the horse with her into the city with the other hand.

Qin Liangyu looked at this wise general who knew how to advance and retreat, and liked him from the bottom of his heart, so he stopped insisting to avoid Huang Han's embarrassment. She called out, and the generals of the white soldiers immediately rushed forward and surrounded the "Red Banner Army" officials and entered Yongping City.

Yongping is doomed to sleepless nights, and the carnival of singing and drinking has drunk so many heroes, and the models and beauties have been watching the defensive general all night long.

When Huang Han opened his voice and sang: "In the Qin Dynasty, the moon is bright and the Han Dynasty is closed. Thousands of miles have not yet returned the people. But let the dragon city fly generals, and don't teach Huma to go to the Yinshan Mountains..."

More than half of the army were singing together, and Zheng Guochang and Qin Liangyu also sang loudly. The cry of "Don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain" echoed in the night sky of Yongping for a long time.

Qin Yuyi was drunk, the beauty was drunk, she was so happy when drunk, and she was trembling with laughter in her sister-in-law's arms...

Zhang Fengyi didn't know the little sister-in-law's thoughtfulness, and he was also happy for her, because he found that his husband seemed to be very fond of Huang Han, and at this time the two were exchanging cups and singing together.

Today is destined to be a good day, and the precarious Daming seems to be very happy.

In less than the fourth watch, a group of cavalry sent by Zheng Guochang to report the victory to the capital rushed to the gate of Guangqu and shouted in unison: "Great victory in Yongping, our army regained Yongping Fucheng."

At this time, the dark night was quiet, and the strange screams of dozens of people probably spread for three to five miles. The Ming army guarding Guangqumen heard it, and those who were not on duty were also woken up.

It didn't take long before dozens of cavalry shouted all the way: "Good news, good news. Wang Shi regained Yongping." They galloped to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

After a while, Liang Tingdong personally led a large group of officials from the Ministry of War to cheer "Yongping Great Victory" all the way to the Forbidden City.

The common people were woken up from their deep sleep when they heard the movement. The first thing many people did was to turn on the water. Then they heard the Ming army's victory call clearly, and turned around to talk to their sons or brothers when they were excited.

Then it's not very elegant, there are many people who have their pants drenched in the urine of my father and brother.

Then the sleeping imperial capital woke up, and the streets and alleys were filled with laughter and laughter. The common people were miserable during this period. This was of course caused by the establishment of slaves and the plundering of the capital.

Now that Master Wang launched a counterattack and regained Yongping City, the common people were so happy from the bottom of their hearts, they took to the street to cheer, and suddenly the sound of firecrackers came and went.

The emperor who had just fallen asleep heard the movement and hurriedly asked Wang Chengen to see what had happened. After a while, Wang Chengen reported the good news of Yongping's recovery to the emperor.

The emperor suddenly lost his sleepiness, and he laughed and asked: "Wang Banban, Zheng Buzheng's troops actually took the lead in taking down Yongping. In the battle to seize the city, was it the 'Red Banner Army' who climbed first? ?”

Wang Chengen was meticulous in his work, and Chongzhen liked him the most. He had already asked about the situation of the battle, and happily replied:
"Your Majesty Shengming, to put it bluntly, the 'Red Banner Army' not only got the credit for being the first to ascend, but also took the lead in launching a battle and took the tactic of attacking Yongping Fucheng in one fell swoop. When Zheng Fantai led the main force to arrive , the 'Red Banner Army' has already entered the city."

"Running again, this Huang Han is not simple! It's a pity that this man is young and vigorous, and it is unknown if he is given time to become my Qi Shaobao."

The emperor's words surprised Wang Cheng'en, Qi Shaobao was a hero recognized by Ming Dynasty with great talent, yet the Holy Son of Heaven actually compared Huang Han with him.It seems that our family should pay more attention to this person in the future.

Wang Chengen followed the emperor's voice and said: "Your Majesty is an emperor through the ages, with unique insight, presumably that Huang Han will be even more desperate when he gets the favor, and it should not be difficult to gain military exploits again. In the future, he will become a minister like Qi Shaobao. .”

"My Ming Dynasty is short of generals who are brave enough to win the three armies. Otherwise, the mere Dongnu will break through and enter. If I want to work hard to govern, I must first solve the border troubles. What I want is the best soldiers. The more the better."

"Your Majesty is wise, the revival of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner."

The atmosphere of the early court was particularly relaxed on this day. Both civil and military officials in the court believed that Governor Sun should take the lead in capturing Luanzhou. Unexpectedly, a new army suddenly appeared, and it was Zheng Guochang's partial division who surprised the court.

Liang Tingdong was radiant, and talked about the great achievements of the "Red Banner Army" who rushed to Yongping with a drum, but there was no specific number of beheadings.

In the afternoon, there was another victory report. It was Sun Dushi who led the troops to take Luanzhou City in a bloody battle for four days and three nights. He planned to kill more than 600 Jiannu and Tartar armored men and more than [-] bannermen.

Although the capture of Luanzhou took place a long time later than the recovery of Yongping, the gains were substantial, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all smiling, and the young emperor finally let out his grievances.

It has been many years since the Ming army beheaded more than a thousand Dongnu troops at one time. The Ningjin victory advocated in the year of Tianqi only beheaded a few hundred.

The courtiers discussed whether to give the first credit to Sun Dushi or Zheng Fantai, and whether to judge by the number of beheads or the first one?
All the courtiers are good at arguing about such an unnutritive topic, some quote from the classics, some state their interests, and some will still be nothing in the end.
