Chapter 318: Blessings must come!(1/2)
As the saying goes, misfortune does not come in singularly, and blessings do not come in both directions.
But this time, it seems to be different.
Since the news that Qin Gong returned to the capital, the chaotic and impetuous people's hearts in the entire capital and even the Zhili area have also been instantly stable.
Whether in the court or in the country, or in the city or in the country, they all look forward to the news of Qin's victory over Mongolia.
But the surprise came too suddenly.
It took only a few days since the news of Qin Gong’s return to the capital. Mongolia, which was originally aggressive, gave up attacking Zijing Pass and withdrew its troops back to the grassland!
This news spread rapidly from the front line of Zijing Pass!
From the peace of mind, full of expectations, to the complete boiling and joyfulness, it is only between the arrival of this news.
If the news of Qin Gong’s return to the army before was to clear the clouds and mist and see the blue sky, then the news of Mongolia withdrawing troops would be to disperse the clouds and mist and the blue sky would be bright!
The city, countryside, capital, court and country are all filled with a boiling and joyful scene.
For ordinary people, if Mongolia retreats, it means that they can continue to live their own lives with peace of mind, and don’t have to worry about the overwhelming disasters of family destruction.
And for the gentry in the court and the country, the significance is undoubtedly greater.
The chaos in Shaanxi broke through the current situation of heaven, which brought a glimmer of vitality to the Ming Dynasty. Now that Mongolia withdraws its troops, the momentum of heaven, the Great Ming Dynasty is finally suppressed, stabilized, and has the possibility of recovery, or even reversal!
But equally, what is indispensable to be talked about is this army that defeats others without fighting!
Just a news of returning to the army made the Mongolian, who was coming in a fierce manner, retreat and leave!
Such power is a legend. Not to mention the discussions between the government and the countryside, the Duke of Qin, which was already almost mythical, became increasingly prosperous.
The capital area was filled with joy, but in Datong City, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"It's too late. If you wait any longer, Mongolia will be completely out of seclusion!"
On the top of Datong City, Shi Bangyao looked at Li Dingguo with some confusion.
Li Dingguo was silent, and he couldn't understand it, but the military orders were as high as a mountain, so he could only choose to follow them.
"It shouldn't be..."
Shi Bangyao was really a little confused. Although he was not clear about the situation of the war, the surprise attack on Datong undoubtedly proved that the Datong generation had no other military power.
If this Datong elite cavalry does not move, wouldn’t it be that Mongolia will let go!
“Let’s go…”
Thinking of this, Shi Bangyao's heart trembled, and then he suddenly looked at Li Dingguo.
"General Li, is Qin Gong ready to let Mongolia leave?"
Li Dingguo shook his head: "There is nothing to tell the secret in the army. Lord Shi should not inquire about it."
Hearing this formulaic answer, Shi Bangyao's heart suddenly became cold.
He... guessed it right!
Shi Bangyao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it when he was at his mouth.
He is not a fledgling young man, so he can naturally see the interests clearly.
He didn't think too much about the matter yet, but he could not think too much about it. He let Mongolia leave. Naturally, it was easy to figure out why.
Today's Ming Dynasty has no capital to show off for a moment!
But no matter how you think clearly, you can see through it thoroughly.
Plough the courtyard and sweep the caves, kill the clans...
Such bold words are like a joke.
The countless people who were destroyed were plundered by Mongolia and were tragically corrupt...
The culprit of all, and if he has the ability to wipe out it, he must let it go.
Who can accept it calmly!
Thoughts flashed, Shi Bang's dazzling eyes were a little red.
"I will taste the shame today!"
At this time, Li Dingguo spoke slowly, looked at Shi Bangyao, sighed lightly, and took a step and walked down the city tower.
...
"I will taste the shame today!"
Similarly, in Fangshan County, among the vast army of returning troops, Li Xiu sat upright on a war horse, looking at the northern border, and murmured this softly.
In fact, it is harder than anyone else to accept the retreat of the southern Mongolian in the desert and the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which was stabbed and plundered in danger.
But in this situation, this is the best choice.
He was so happy that he destroyed several Mongolians in the south of the desert. However, the Ming Dynasty now does not have the ability to harvest the fruits of victory. He just made wedding dresses for the Later Jin and Lin Danhan.
Both of these are enemies of the Ming Dynasty!
In this way, although it was difficult to accept, Li Xiu forced himself to make this decision under the guidance of reason.
Victory in a war is not only necessary for military victory, but also for political and economic victory.
If one of them is missing, if you win this kind of war, it will only cost national strength.
"call……"
All kinds of thoughts flowed, and finally, Li Xiu breathed a long sigh, his eyes flowed, and in his vision was the Martial Arts Academy located in Polu Mountain.
The army returned to the army and passed by, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar mountain, Li Xiu couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
Everything is like yesterday.
He still clearly remembered that for the battle, he led a team of personal soldiers to search for a place of war around here, and almost every mountain and every valley he had personally set foot on.
I can still vaguely feel the uneasiness and anxiety at the beginning...
Things in the world are impermanent. No matter what, he did not expect that after several years, things have changed, everything has changed.
"General, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to ask General when you will arrive in the capital, saying that you will prepare for a triumphal ceremony..."
Just as Li Xiu was thinking a lot, a soldier rushed over on a horse and immediately reported.
"Before sunset!"
Li Xiu looked up at the sunny sky, waved his hand casually, and after a while, he spoke again: "Send the order to speed up the marching, and arrive in the capital before sunset!"
After the words were finished, the military orders were conveyed layer by layer, and the speed of the march that stretched for more than ten miles suddenly increased a lot faster. It was soaring and heading towards the capital.
...
At Chaoyang Gate, the civil and military officials had gathered together, and the rituals and music were already ready. The Empress Dowager led the young emperor and stood at the head of all officials. Everyone was waiting for the triumphant return of Qin.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, the setting sun is like blood, and the whole sky is also red under the reflection of the setting sun.
According to the idea of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they originally wanted to hold this triumphal ceremony on an auspicious day, but Duke Qin had already decided in person and could not change it. He had to hurry up and at dusk, hundreds of officials greeted the Chaoyang Gate, trying to use the word Chaoyang to get a good start.
Mao Wenlong arrived in the capital nearly ten days ago, and his position has not changed yet. To be precise, he has not yet resigned, but has only arrived in Beijing to work. The specific details still have to be arranged.
Nowadays, Mao Wenlong is naturally in the team of officials. However, the famous Mao Mao in the Dongjiang Denglai is quite inconspicuous among the team of officials.
Standing alone in the ranks of military officers, silently watching the scene where all the officials gathered together to welcome them.
Compared with the civil servant ranks, Mao Wenlong observed the most, which is naturally the martial arts honors, the legendary heroes of the brave guards.
Now there are few people in the martial arts lineup. All of them are wearing armor and waists and fighting swords. Their tough aura is revealed. Obviously, they are all generals of war.
"Here you come!"
While observing, Mao Wenlong suddenly looked up, and these martial artists seemed to have noticed something, and their eyes were scorching towards the direction of the skyline.
There seemed to be thunder in a faint vague way.
The black line slowly appeared in the sight of all officials like a tide.
The battle flags are waving, the swords and blades are like mountains and forests, and the swords and iron horses are coming in a vast way.
The Qin Gong's army was powerful. Mao Wenlong had some knowledge of the war in Liaodong. Then, Denglai established the town and fought in the land. He even cooperated with the Denglai Navy countless times. It was precisely because of his experience that he felt hopeless and that he had made this move to reconcile the job in the capital.
At this moment, Mao Wenlong stared at the figure under the central army's flag, like a towering mountain, surrounded by a large army, and his arrogant look was revealed.
young!
This was Mao Wenlong's first impression, but then, when he saw the strands of white hair that were inconsistent with his young face, Mao Wenlong felt inexplicably happy.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight.
He held the Dongjiang River and looked across the sea from the Later Jin Dynasty, and was still trembling and shocked.
The Duke of Qin was in charge of the world, and supported the building to collapse, turned the tide and went against the general trend of the world. Obviously, it was not as easy and freehand as it seemed.
"Congratulations to Qin Gong for pacifying the rebellion and returning triumphantly!"
At this moment, the shouts suddenly sounded, and these ministers who were above the court bowed at this moment!
"Everyone is serving the country, so you don't need much politeness, sir!"
To be continued...
