On February 15, after two days of silence, Dorgon made the decision to leave the Central Plains. He also decided to lead the army himself and conduct the expedition himself. On the 16th, he offered sacrifices to Taizu and Emperor Taizong at the Ancestral Temple. The memorial text said that since last year, the Qing Dynasty had won a series of victories, including occupying Korea and attacking Japan. These were all the wishes of Emperor Taizu Wu and were used as a warning to comfort the gods. Now he will personally lead the army to defeat the Ming Dynasty, vowing to fulfill Emperor Taizu Wu's long-cherished ambition, and hope that the spirit of Emperor Taizu in heaven will give him silent blessing. On the 17th, he took control of the Dugong Hall and appointed Abatai, the king of Duoluo Raoyu, as the ordered general, and Prince Zheng Jierhalang as the Jingyuan general. They were ordered to capture the Jizhen fortresses such as Xifengkou, Lengkou, and Jielingkou, and hold back Yang Guozhu's Jizhen army. He also appointed Prince Duduo of Yu as General Pingnan, and ordered him to work with him to force Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to hold back the Liaodong army of Wu Sangui and others. Prince Ren Li appointed Daishan as the general of Dingguo, and asked him to guard Shengjing and protect his retreat. He personally conferred the seal of general on each of them and said: "My ancestor founded Piji, the imperial examination determined the great cause, and the important task was entrusted to Xing Gong. Now Mongolia, Korea and Japan have all surrendered, and the Han people have conquered more and more land in the city walls. When At this time of establishing the throne, the conquest is of great importance. I hereby order you and other generals to carry out all rewards and punishments at their own convenience, and to work together to make progress. "Everyone receives the seal and performs three kneels and nine kowtows. . Dorgon gave all the generals one yellow umbrella and two robes, as well as black fox hats, mink robes, mink sitting mats, straw hats, python robes, etc. He also gave each of his subordinates to the conquering kings, Beilebeizigong and others, and gave them clothes, saddles and horses. On that day, the Qing Dynasty mobilized the whole country. In the forty-third year of Wanli, Nurhaci formally established the Eight Banners system, with each cow recording and verifying 300 people. Of course, these three hundred are not three hundred people, nor are they three hundred men. Just like Ming military households, they are more representatives of three hundred household heads. ??When a father dies and a son succeeds, and a brother dies and a younger brother dies, there must always be a representative. These people all have wives, children, parents and brothers. Generally, one Ding corresponds to a family of five to eight people. The Eight Banners unite soldiers and civilians, and all people are in the military system. They work in peacetime and participate in conquests in wartime. They prepare their own weapons and food, which is somewhat similar to government soldiers. "The three hundred representatives of household heads are called bannermen. Whether they can wear armor depends on their ability. "However, after the rise of the Eight Banners, there was a strong trend of martial arts, and the examination began at the age of ten, and the examination was conducted every three years, from Bu Jia to Ma Jia to Baya La. If you cannot become an infantryman and enjoy the right to wear armor after reaching adulthood at the age of sixteen, you will be discriminated against and reviled. ??The representatives of the heads of three hundred households in each Niulu are called Banner Ding. The remaining brothers and children are not on the military register for the time being. Ordinary families are called "Yuding". Households belonging to officers and generals are called idle. After the rise of the Eight Banners, every time they went to war, there was basically a lot of looting, and Yu Ding Xiansan also actively went to fight. There are many records in Manchurian historical materials of someone "idle" attacking a certain city and dying in battle. During the Huangtaiji period, the Qing Dynasty had a total of 592 Niulu, 310 Manchu Eight Banners, 118 Mongolian Eight Banners, and 164 Han Eight Banners. At that time, two hundred bannermen were basically regarded as one Niulu, so there were approximately 62,000 bannermen in the Manchu Banners, 23,600 bannermen in the Mongolian Banners, and 32,000 bannermen in the Han Banners. The Twenty-Four Banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han had almost 120,000 soldiers. Of course, unless there is a decisive battle of life and death, all the flags will not be mobilized, just like Wang Dou's army, not all of them will be mobilized every time they fight. In the Battle of a Stone in history, in addition to the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners dispatching all their troops, the Manchu Eight Banners only dispatched two-thirds of their troops. Including the Mongolian soldiers from the outer vassals, the army of King Sanshun, the Korean soldiers, other Butha and other cannon fodder groups, a total of 135,000 troops were dispatched. "I'm not sure how many soldiers, house slaves, slaves and so on there were at that time, but regardless of fifty thousand or one hundred thousand, these are all negligible. Just like the Mongolian Western Expedition, it was said that there were 20,000 people, but at least ten times the vassal army, craftsmen and slaves were omitted. There were 130,000 elite soldiers in the cold weapon era, which was an astonishing number. Xu Dayan: "One hundred thousand people will sweep across the world." Wang Dou worked hard for many years, but the regular army was only 60,000. However, during the Battle of Songjin, the Qing suffered heavy losses. More than 10,000 people died in the Eight Banners Manchuria alone. The remaining losses were also countless in the Eight Banners Mongolia, Eight Banners Han Army, Outer Mongolia, etc. After the incident, they also lost many forces in Mongolia. Although these people's combat power was not good, only one of every three to five bannermen could meet the ability standard of an armored soldier. But at least it was an important supplement to the Qing Dynasty's combat power and excellent cannon fodder. For example, the Horqin tribes, which have the closest relationship with the Manchu Empire, have 448 Niulu, more than 22,000 bannermen, and more than 6,500 armored soldiers. In the outer vassal Mongolia, there are 384 Niulu, more than 19,000 bannermen, and more than 5,400 armored soldiers. Adding these two together, the number of armored soldiers reaches one.?More than a thousand. Even if they sent half of the troops in each Qing campaign, there would still be 20,000 bannermen and 5,000 armored soldiers. There are also the Mobei tribes of Waizasak Mongolia, Khalkha, Tuxietu and other tribes. Their numbers vary, but the total number of armored soldiers is also eight thousand. If they send troops to help in the war, the number will be very considerable. However, except for the die-hard Horqin, most of the others have broken away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Waizhasak Mongolia in Mobei and Tumut, a naturalized city in Monan, submitted to Wang Dou. Even the two banners on the left and right flanks of Tumote and the Karaqin tribes that were close to Wang Dou's forces were a little unstable. Even the two banners of Tumote at that time, Zasak Ombu Chuhuer and Shanba, planned to leave without saying goodbye, and privately discussed running to Wang Dou. However, they were captured and executed by the vigilant Dorgon, and a new one was appointed. There are two flags on the left and right, Zasak. However, it was a fact that Mongolia, the outer vassal, was unstable. Dorgon clearly learned that the Tumut left and right wings and the Karaqin tribes were all quarreling with Wang. He could only turn a blind eye and treat it as if he was not interested. Know. Afterwards, Dorgon supplemented the number of bannermen in the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia through various methods of raising flags and supplementing the number, and also reestablished the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. However, Dorgon knew that the core combat strength of their Eight Banners was no longer what it was before the Jinzhou War. Fortunately, as long as they don't face Wang Dou's Jingbian Army, the Eight Banners' combat power is still at the top in East Asia at this time. This is also proved by their overwhelming attack on North Korea and Japan. "Moreover, Dorgon established the Eight Banners of Korea and the Eight Banners of Japan. Each Eight Banners had 16,000 bannermen. The total number of bannermen was 32,000. Although Dorgon believes that it is difficult to guarantee the combat power of these Koreans and Japanese, such as Eight Banners Japan, only the samurai among them can meet the standard of armored soldiers, most of them are the lowest level infantry, and the combat power of those Koreans is even lower. However, the iron gunners among them are still good, and their Ashigaru "gun quilt" tactics also have merit. Those Korean archers are also good, their arrows are very fast, and they even surpass the Mongols in the efficiency output of light arrows. Most importantly, these people have increased the number of bannermen. Now there are 40 banners of Manchu, Mongolian, Han, Korean and Japanese, and the number of soldiers has reached 150,000. ¡ This national war is related to whether the Qing Dynasty can advance into the Central Plains, and even the fate of the country, so the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be said to be overwhelming. Among the forty banners of Manchu, Mongolian, Han, Korean, and Japanese, 23,600 bannermen of the eight Mongolian banners came out. The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty had 32,000 bannermen, all of whom came out. On that day, the Eight Banners had 16,000 bannermen, all of whom came out. The Eight Banners had 16,000 soldiers, all of whom came out. Even out of the 62,000 bannermen of the Eight Banners, 60,000 bannermen were sent out, leaving only 2,000 bannermen to defend Shengjing. In other castles and villages, only Yu Ding, women and children defended the city. At the same time, Dorgon also ordered his hard-core Horqin tribe to dispatch 20,000 bannermen and 5,000 armored soldiers. There are also the Mongolian Aohan Tribe, Naiman Tribe, Karaqin Tribe, Tumut Tribe, etc., who all need to send troops, and at least two-thirds of the number of soldiers. There are about 10,000 bannermen and armored soldiers in total. Three thousand people. Adding this together, the Qing Dynasty dispatched a total of about 180,000 banner soldiers. In addition, there are 70,000 coated Aha accompanying the army, transporting grain, grass and baggage, handling seized goods, handling miscellaneous matters, etc. This is also necessary. If it is seized, will those armored flagmen be allowed to carry rice on their own carts? In the event of an siege, would you even let them make their own shield vehicles and fill trenches with earth? At this time, most of the Eight Banners were stationed around Shengjing, and they implemented a system of soldiers and civilians. Most of them also prepared their own weapons and food. After the recruitment order was issued, they gathered quickly. Especially those Manchu and Mongolian bannermen, almost every family has horses and mules, so they can assemble faster. Only the Mongolian ministries in the outer vassal will move slower, and they will gradually gather in Yingzhou, Shanhaiguan and other places. There are also the coated aha who are accompanying the army, and they will slowly gather together to transport grain, rice and baggage to the front under the leadership of Ying Erdai, who is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When Huang Taiji was in power, he advocated the regularization of the Eight Banners and implemented some food and salary systems in the army. Although it was not much, most people still brought their own dry food. However, considering that he might have to stay in Shanhaiguan and other places for several months, Dorgon believed that it was necessary for the public to provide this amount of food and grass, and the rice and rice snatched from North Korea, Japan and other places could come in handy. And for the conquest of the Ming Dynasty, all the Qing Dynasty were full of confidence. In the Ming Dynasty, the only thing in the Qing army was only the Jingbian Army. Yang Guozhu, Wu Sangui and others can only say that they can be used as opponents, but they are not afraid. As for the rogue bandits, although they are powerful, their combat effectiveness must be limited. After all, I heard that they are mostly composed of surrendered Ming troops, and the virtues of the Ming army are clear to them, the Qing soldiers. What¡¯s even better is that the bandits may also turn their attention to Wang Dou, so that the Jingbian army they fear can??Being entangled. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty no longer have any worries, so even if they cannot conquer the Central Plains this time, they can at least grab a good chance. After several years, the territory of the Ming Kingdom must be very fat. Especially in a few months, it will be the summer grain harvest, and in a few months, it will be the autumn grain harvest, and there will be more materials to grab. Although the Eight Banners did not receive military pay, they were rewarded for every capture, including gold, silver, silk, cattle and sheep, tea, rice, oil and salt. The brave were also rewarded with horses and armor, plus private trophies. Every bannerman went out to fight. The pockets are full. Therefore, every family was enthusiastic about this expedition. In every town and village, there were touching scenes of sons sending off their fathers and wives sending off their husbands. If there are many children in the family, the remaining members of the family are also eager to join the army, willing to serve as auxiliary soldiers and follow their father and brother in the war. Although they did not share rewards after the war, it was an unspoken rule to keep the spoils privately. Some people even planned to grab a few more coats and bring them back to farm the land on their behalf. There was an atmosphere of fanaticism and excitement throughout the Qing Dynasty, and some fanatics even shouted: "The Southern Dynasty will be destroyed, and the country will be established today!" February 20th. In the past few days, a steady stream of soldiers and horses have gathered in Shengjing. Especially on the 20th, the martial arts arena in the north of Shengjing was filled with flags like a sea, and a group of soldiers and horses gathered almost every quarter of an hour. They are arranged according to the flag array, the Eight Banners Manchuria flag is yellow, the Eight Manchu flags are inlaid with yellow flag, the Eight Banners Manchuria flag is in white, the Eight Banners Manchuria is in blue flag, the Eight Banners Manchuria flag is inlaid with white, the Eight Banners Manchuria is inlaid with red flag, the Eight Banners in Manchuria is with red flag, the Eight Banners with Manchuria is inlaid with blue flag. They used Niulu to form a military formation, and then each Niulu was separately organized into a small formation. They stood solemnly and had sophisticated equipment. "Each of their ordinary soldiers has a helmet and iron-inlaid cotton armor. All of them have painted iron helmets, sweat-stained foam-studded cotton armor on the breast, and high-pointed black helmets with red tassels flying in the air. There are horses around them, some even have more than one. The horses are equipped with long and short weapons, and they are mainly thick and heavy. There are also shields on the horse, a huge full bow, a quiver full of heavy arrows and light arrows, etc. They all have cruel and violent eyes, full of self-confidence that they have experienced in a hundred battles. "These are ordinary foot armor and vests. Each of them is covered with double armor. The pure iron armor is covered with thick cotton armor, which provides better protection. Among them, the officers of the Zhuang and Bashiku levels all wore black tassels on their helmets and had small flags measuring two feet square on their backs. They wore three layers of heavy armor, that is, in addition to the cotton armor, there was also a layer of chain mail in the innermost layer. Finally, there are the Baya soldiers controlled by Baya Lazhangjing of each banner. They all have slanted flame flags on their backs, and they all have heavy weapons beside their horses, such as maces, tiger spears, etc. . The large-tip bows they use are also generally twelve-power bows. What is this concept? ¡°That is to say, based on the bow power, the poundage of future generations is almost 158.7 pounds. If you are not killed by an arrow, you will definitely be seriously injured. They are the most elite veterans in each banner. They all have a strong sense of bloody killing. They are wearing bright helmets and armor. The armor is worn on the outside. Every piece of armor is made of fine iron, which is extremely thick and eye-catching. In order to deal with the threat of firearms, the Eight Banners made great efforts in armor protection after the rise of the Eight Banners, and the armors they wore were all excellent. "The armor, masks, arms and hands worn by the thieves are all made of fine iron, and the horses are also the same." "Many captives have heavy armor, and the short blunderbuss cannot penetrate it." "First, wear cotton armor over heavy armor, and wear thick cotton over the helmet. Those with hats march forward holding shields and stand under the mountain city. "" Holding wolf swords, spears, broadswords, and cotton helmets outside the iron helmets. " " There are about 60,000 people in the Eight Banners Manchuria. In the battle array, they were like a forest of swords and guns, and the crowd was like water. Although there were many people, they lined up neatly and quietly, with only the occasional sound of horses neighing. They stood sternly, with countless helmets and armors standing tall, and Ling Ran's iron-blooded energy spread. Behind the Manchurian banners are the corresponding Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners, Japanese Eight Banners and Xian Eight Banners. Although they are both called the Eight Banners, their status is of course unequal. Among the Eight Banners, only the Manba Banner has a flag leader, and the rest are Gushan Ezhen, and they still have a subordinate relationship with the Manba Banner flag owners. They formed the formation equally quietly, but their momentum was quite inferior. Their equipment cannot be compared with that of the Manchu Eight Banners. Not to mention several layers of armor, few even have iron-studded cotton armor. Many people only have an ordinary cotton armor. Especially those Eight Banners Japanese and Eight Banners Korean troops, most of them are still dressed in domestic ordnance, which seems a bit uncoordinated. Although hundreds of thousands of people lined up in formation, with swords and guns like a forest, flags like a sea, and countless heads spread out, the overall momentum was still amazing. ?¡???????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Emperor¡¯s personal bodyguards, the Xianbing Gebushe, were not seen in the martial arts arena. At this time, these most elite soldiers of the Qing DynastyThe soldiers lined up outside the Fujin Gate in the east of Shengjing City and were arranged all the way to the martial arts field in the north of the city. They are more powerful beings than the Bagaras of the various banners. They all wear bright helmets and heavy iron armor, and pieces of cold light flash. They each have eagle feathers on their helmets, and a flying tiger flag behind them. For the officers among them, there are otter tails on the helmet tubes, and a two-foot flying tiger and fox tail flag behind them. They rode quietly on their horses, motionless in the cold wind, showing the qualities of veterans of hundreds of battles. They are the most outstanding in skills among the Qing Dynasty, and the number of the whole camp is less than 2,000. In the howling cold wind, when the time was up, the sound of whining conch shells suddenly sounded, and then the sound of trumpets and suonas continued, and drums were noisy, and a dense number of large drums came out from the Fujin Gate. Yellow umbrellas, flags, flags, bones, wuzhan, gongs, drums, painted horns, flutes, shengs, drums, flutes, dragon-headed flutes, sandalwood boards, and drums are all densely packed. The officers are all in green and yellow coats, tied around their waists. Wearing red belts and six-petal red velvet hats with yellow feathers on their copper tops, the number reached eighty-four. Under the yellow umbrella, Dorgon was wearing gilt armor. He was riding on a horse with a solemn expression. Behind him were the banner owners of the Forty Banners of the Manchu, Mongolian, Han, Korean, and Japanese banners and Gushan Ezhen, as well as the princes and princes of the country, Beilebeizi, officials of the six ministries, bachelors of literature, etc., and hundreds of officials Gathered together, they will all follow Dorgon on the expedition. At this time, they all had their bodies covered, and their faces shone with divine excitement. Amidst the sound of trumpets and suonas, the grandmaster drove directly into the hall outside the Fujin Gate. This was a temple of the Qing Dynasty. Every time he went on an expedition, he would visit the temple. The statues of gods have been invited and placed in the Hall of Enjoyment. The statues are the Son of Heaven, Sakyamuni, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Great King¡¯s Forefather, the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, and the Guan Sheng Emperor. In order to pay homage to the throne of Tangzi, the emperor and his ministers each fasted for one day and kept their minds pure. They entered the hall, offered bread and wine, and hung paper money. Starting from Dorgon, they lined up in order, and everyone knelt three times and kowtowed nine times. Then he went outside the hall and lined up the eight soldiers he had brought with him on the expedition. He blew the conch shells and sounded the lama's trumpet again. Amidst the sound of trumpets and suonas, they began to worship the sky again, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. After kowtowing, Dorgon stood up. He took a long breath and said silently in his heart: "Haotian God, bless me." He got up and stood up. When the horse passed by, all the wise soldiers of Gebushu dismounted and knelt down. When the emperor passed by, they shouted: "Long live!" Teams of Gebushe soldiers dismounted and knelt down. All the soldiers in formation knelt as they passed by. They shouted long live, and finally merged into a continuous cry. . "Long live, long live, long live!" Dorgon rode his horse in the martial arts field. He was walking among thousands of troops, but he saw flags like a forest, swords and guns like a sea, and the continuous military formation seemed to reach the horizon. Supreme pride surged in his heart. Who could stop such an army? Full of success, he laughed heartily, waved his whip, and three sharp cannons sounded. Amidst the sound of cannons, the army began to move out. Their flags were like a sea, and the endless crowd seemed to cover the earth. On February 20, the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Qing Dynasty came out in force and sent 250,000 troops to attack the Ming Dynasty and compete for the Central Plains! ¡ ¡the first day of March, Jinan. "When God looks at things, he is actually looking for misfortune. When the people return, they only want to come and find suspense. As fate is constant, emotions are especially visible. In the past, Guangdong Province knows the cause of gains and losses; looking at the past and the present, every time it is unexpected, it will be dealt with. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, I have been in Taining for a long time, and I have been relaxed and disciplined. I am not very dark, isolated and obscured" The martial arts field of Jinan City is located in the southeast of the city, at the foot of Qianfo Mountain. It is said that this is the location of Jinan City's Feng Shui. , it is said that Cao Cao stationed his troops here and built a martial arts field to train his troops. In subsequent dynasties, this place was a place where troops were stationed and practiced martial arts. The martial arts field is huge, and it can form an array of up to 100,000 troops. However, the Dashun Kingdom has a very large number of troops. Some time ago, there were 600,000 troops, but now there may be 700,000. Li Zicheng does not know the specific number. He None of the officers and generals under his command knew that too many Ming troops had surrendered. Therefore, in addition to his old camp, those who can enter the martial arts field are elite soldiers selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. They formed a huge military formation, with a sea of ??people and a forest of flags. Their formation was endless. On the general stage, Li Zicheng was wearing a felt hat and wearing nothing, sitting on the king's chair. On both sides of him were the generals of Shun State, officials of the six governments, and the surrendered Ming Dynasty officials and generals. Under the stage were densely packed old camp generals and warriors, all in neat armor and with swords and spears standing tall. Not far away from the stage were the local gentry and celebrities who were called to watch the ceremony, as well as celebrities and dignitaries from various Shandong provinces. They stood densely. Many of them looked at what was going on on the stage, and then looked at the military formation in front, with eyes filled with excitement.It was a shocked look. Some of them had complicated expressions, while others were talking excitedly. "Da Shun really has strong soldiers and horses." "Yes, in comparison, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are simply a mob. No wonder they have to withstand a single blow. King Shuntian is unstoppable." "Of course, look at the surrendered officials and soldiers on the stage. Which one does not have a heavy soldier? They fell without firing an arrow. No wonder the Ming Dynasty is about to lose the world. ""Alas, is it really going to change the dynasty?" Not to mention the complicated expressions of these celebrities and gentry, Niu Jinxing, the prime minister of Shunguo on the stage, Li Zicheng's edict of the first year of Yongchang issued to the world was being read out in a cadence. Compared with the previous statement, the tone of this edict seems to be softened. It said that "the emperor is not very dark" and believed that Emperor Chongzhen was not a mediocre and corrupt person. Then he said: " Isolation and blindness are constant; ministers do all their own things, and are less loyal to the public than the party. Even bribery to the palace, the prestige and fortune of the dynasty will change day by day; benefiting the gods of the clan, the fat of the left and right will be exhausted. Exhausted. The princes and princes all ate meat, and relied on it as their belly; the eunuchs ate dogs and dolphins, and used their ears and eyes" Explain the reasons why the dynasty reached its present state. Some of the gentry below disagreed, while others heard and sighed: "Yes, the emperor is not very dark, isolated and obscured The emperor has always been diligent, but there are too many treacherous ministers and villains around him." Someone else sobbed and cried: "The Ming Dynasty Why has it come to this point? "Li Zicheng has decided to march towards the capital, leading an army of 500,000 people to the north, and with Li Guo as the vanguard, he will attack the capital. Five hundred thousand, of course, is a very huge number, but although there are many soldiers and horses, Li Zicheng does not worry about food and grass, because there are too many prefectures and counties and cities in the north, and capturing any one of them can solve the big problems needed by the army. Especially after entering the important area of ????Gyeonggi, the wealth, silk, grain and rice collected are unmatched by Henan, Shandong and other places. What worries him is that the capital is strong and has many defenders. Even if there is a large number of internal forces, it may not be possible to attack it for a while. The result of the discussion between his officers and generals is that it may take at least three months to attack the capital. Over time, things will change. "Moreover, it has always been dangerous to go north to capture the capital. In history, only Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded. At that time, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty had a strategy for destroying the Yuan Dynasty: "First take Shandong and remove its shield. Then move to Henan and cut off its wings. Pull out Tongguan and defend it. According to its threshold, the world's situation will be under my control. Then attack Yuandu, and then the enemy will be alone. It can't be conquered without fighting. Once the capital is conquered, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Guanlong can be swept away. "The current situation of Dashun is somewhat similar to that of that time, but there are some differences. For example, Shaanxi was not captured. , in order to avoid accidents, it is the most ideal result to win the surrender of the Ming Dynasty emperor. Therefore, Li Zicheng issued an edict to persuade the emperor to surrender, and corrected the Ming Dynasty officials and gentry to assess the situation and surrender to welcome the new master. After the edict was read out, the army formation below let out earth-shattering shouts. They were confused at first, and then merged into one: "Long live King Dashun!" "Long live! Long live! Long live!" The overwhelming shouts of long live were louder than the waves, and the huge roar was The sound shocked the gentry and celebrities who were watching the ceremony speechless, and many of them trembled unconsciously. On the general stage, the generals of the fifth battalion, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Liu Xiyao, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo and others were happy and proud. Yang Shaofan smiled happily for a while, and gritted his teeth for a while. Li Yan looked excited and thought: "The new dynasty is about to be established. The atmosphere will be very different during the new dynasty. The people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment and no longer have to suffer from displacement and chaos." Niu Jinxing and other six government officials all looked reserved, stroking their beards and smiling. , looking at the soldiers shouting below with some complacency. And those Ming Dynasty officers and generals who surrendered, such as Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Qiu Lei and others, all breathed in and stared dumbfounded at the roaring array below. Liu Liangzuo sighed: "Look, the Dashun Army is so powerful, it really is. The discipline is strict and the troops are neat. Liu Zeqing also sighed: "Yes, the rebel army is so elite. It seems that overthrowing the Ming Dynasty is not a problem." Although they sighed and spoke, their faces were all red, and Liu Zeqing was even more excited. He said with a smile: "It seems that the new dynasty will be established soon, and we are all the heroes from Long." A sneer appeared in Qiu Lei's eyes: "After defeating the capital, we should attack Xuanfu Shanxi from the west. Listen to these things over there If you are very rich, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money." They all laughed. ¡ After the military parade ceremony, the army set off directly, with people shouting and horses neighing, and flags covering the sky. The scene was extremely spectacular. Not only the elite troops marching on the school field, stationed near Jinan, but also the shun troops from all over Shandong also moved northward.Each task, either in the middle or on both wings, finally converged at the feet of the capital. The army like a torrent continued to move, and the sound of horns resounded throughout the world. Li Zicheng rode a black barge horse with more than a hundred elite riders. He climbed to Qianfo Mountain and saw a sea of ??flags below, and a tidal stream of people marching continuously. This feeling This scene made Li Zicheng very proud. At the same time, he was a little confused in his excitement. Is the Ming Dynasty really going to be destroyed? Lao Hu¡¯s mountain patrol camp is also advancing. They have received the treatment of the old camp. Everyone in the cavalry team has a war horse, and many people have two horses. Even the foot soldiers in the past have horses and mules to take their place. He sat on his horse, looked in front of him, and looked behind him. There were flags like a sea, and there was no beginning in front of the huge crowd, and no end in sight behind him. Old Hu couldn't help but murmured: "Big scene." Kong San beside him took a deep breath and finally went north. It was almost over. On the first day of March in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Shunguo marched out with half a million soldiers and went north to destroy the Ming Dynasty! (To be continued.)
