This Ming Dynasty is too fierce. Chapter 449 of the main text volume: The military flags arrived on the 14th day of the 8th month of the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Han Dynasty.

This day is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, and for the nearly 70,000 troops of the Pinglu Army, today they will spend this Mid-Autumn Festival in a foreign land.

In the early morning, following an order, the mighty army crossed the Yalu River along the pontoon bridge. While the army was crossing the river, Zhu Guoqiang, who was riding on a war horse, stood on the riverside under the guard of dozens of generals and guards.

On the small hill, staring at this mighty army, Zhu Guoqiang could not help but think of that war song.

"Strong and high-spirited, we cross the Yalu River to protect peace for the motherland, which is to protect our hometown. China's good sons and daughters, unite and unite..."

Thinking of the great nation status that the best soldiers of another century had built on this land with their lives and flesh, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of how those Ming troops shattered the Japanese dream of becoming a great nation in Korea when Wanli conquered Korea.

.

And now, Master Wang once again crossed the river and once again launched the final attack against another group of cruel and barbaric enemies.

As long as this battle is won, the threat of Jiannu to the Ming Dynasty will be completely shattered. They are just like meteors, passing by in a flash.

How can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and moon!

When Zhu Guoqiang hesitantly stood on the hill beside the river to salute the troops crossing the river, Song Laoding, who was wearing a bright breastplate, carrying a musket and wearing an iron cap on the pontoon on the river, felt a little sad in his heart.

Not very secure.

After all, once you cross the other side of the Yalu River, it is no longer the Ming Dynasty. Then you are truly in a foreign land. If you die there, will you become a lonely ghost in a foreign land?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and even his face became a little ugly. In fact, he was not the only one who thought so, many people also felt the same way.

"Across the river, we are in North Korea. You said that we in this foreign country have arrived there. If there is any chance, it is really..."

"Just what?"

Someone next to me asked.

"Hey, what else could it be? Don't you understand what he means? We are in a foreign country. If anything happens there, we will really be a lonely ghost in a foreign country."

These words made the others feel a little heavy when they heard this, and even their steps became a little slow. Occasionally, they would look back at the land of Liaodong, which was their home.

In the past, they really didn’t think that Liaodong was their home. After all, they included people from Shandong, Beizhili, and Henan. They came from various provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and each of them had their own love in their hearts.

Hometown. But now when they look back at the land of Liaodong, they feel that it is their home.

The officer on the side heard what they said and suddenly said loudly.

"What foreign country? Have you forgotten that wherever the military flag goes, it is all Han soil! As long as our iron boots hurt, that is the land of our Ming Dynasty. When we get there, that is our home, that is where we fight

The place we come down is our territory, there is nothing foreign about it.”

When the officer said that the military flags were all Han, everyone's hearts were shocked, and the originally chaotic mood became calmer.

Yes, that’s right, what kind of foreign country is that?

Wherever the military flag goes, it’s all Han territory!

This is the Ming Dynasty, and where they go is the Han Dynasty, home...

Thousands of Chinese troops are crossing the river!

For the Koreans, many of them have been so excited that they could hardly contain themselves since they saw the Chinese army across the river a few days ago.

The Celestial Army is coming!

After not seeing the Chinese soldiers for decades, and after being repeatedly bullied by the barbarians, these Koreans have always had one thought in their hearts: Dad Ming is here, and he will not leave Korea alone!

And in the past year, facing the reality that the country was occupied by the barbarians, the only thing that supported the Koreans was probably that the Ming Dynasty's father had not forgotten that their Chinese soldiers had built a square fortress at the mouth of the Datong River, and they defeated the barbarians at Zhengfang Mountain City.

Dad Ming will come and drive away the Hulu!

Either today or tomorrow!

Finally, today I never forget that Dad Ming sent the soldiers of the Chinese Empire.

Yang Zhen, who led a sentry cavalry as the vanguard of the army, appeared on the disrepaired road in North Korea to guard along the way. They saw a group of people approaching in the distance. The Mid-Autumn Festival wind was already a bit cold, and they were blown away by the wind.

Blowing, staring at the dark crowd, Yang Zhen couldn't help but shudder.

"All alert!"

Just as they drew their short rifles on alert, his subordinates said.

"Sergeant Yang, what kind of posture is this?"

What came over were thousands of Korean people in shabby clothes. The leader was an older scholar wearing a plain Confucian robe. After seeing them, the leader didn't say a word and immediately led the crowd to kneel on the roadside and kowtow.

As they greeted each other, thousands of people in the darkness fell to their knees.

"I, Li Zaidao, the scholar of Korea in the Ming Dynasty, respectfully welcome the heavenly soldiers of the Celestial Empire!"

Perhaps because of the over excitement, Li Zaidao was kneeling on the ground as he spoke, his gray hair and beard trembling, and his face was a little red due to the over excitement.

What a great gift!

Pulling the reins of the horse, Yang Zhen looked at the Koreans kneeling together in surprise.

"This general, Donglu has been tyrannical in the country for more than a year and caused us misery. Now the general has brought the heavenly soldiers to defeat the prisoners and save us and other common people from the fire and water. From then on, we, the Korean people,

I can return to my mother country and live a stable life."

Looking at the Korean scholar in front of him, Yang Zhen was stunned. Yang Zhen quickly dismounted and helped Li Zaidao up, and laughed loudly at the same time:

"Don't worry, fellow villagers, I will never let a single Donglu go, and I will make sure they never come back. I will avenge you fellow villagers!"

Li Zaidao asked someone to carry a large wooden barrel, which contained fragrant meat.

"General, the land in North Korea is barren and the people are poor. The people are all poor and have nothing to reward the heavenly soldiers. I specially ordered my family to prepare some dog meat. Please don't dislike it, general."

There are only a few vegetable leaves in a bucket of dog meat, and the aroma of dog meat is overwhelming.

Facing these dog meats and looking at these shabby Koreans, Yang Zhen declined:

"I appreciate everyone's kindness. We will take the dog meat back. We, the Chinese soldiers, were ordered to cross the river to quell the prisoners, in order to save the Korean people from the fire and water. You are so poor, how can we bear to let you work in the army."

Although the Korean people could not understand Chinese, when they learned about it through Li Zaidao's translator, they all knelt down and were grateful, saying that the heavenly army loves the people so much that they would reward the army life and death. If they did not reward the heavenly soldiers, they would

To grab the ground with your head.

Faced with the enthusiasm of the Korean people, Yang Zhen and her soldiers were moved to accept the dog meat, but everyone felt a little awkward in their hearts.

"Chief Yang, I have been in the army for more than 20 years. I have only seen the common people hiding from the enemy and treating us soldiers as bandits. When did the common people regard us as natural soldiers like the Koreans and reward the soldiers like this?

, even at the risk of grabbing the land with your head, insisting on rewarding me...it makes me feel uncomfortable!"

"Yes, it feels uncomfortable..."

Someone next to them immediately echoed, no wonder they sighed like this. After all, when they were in the country, let alone the common people to reward the army, even the cities they passed by refused to provide them with food and grass, and never treated them as human beings.

, and even regard them as bandits. But what about here? They regard them as saviors. When comparing the two, I naturally feel a little weird.

"Hey, North Korea is really the land of loyalty to my Ming Dynasty!"

For a moment, everyone nodded in agreement, and even sighed, it would be great if the gentry and common people of the Ming Dynasty were as benevolent and righteous as the Koreans.

In fact, they don't know that the reason why these Koreans are like this is entirely because they were harmed too much by the slaves. Sometimes, people only think of the good things of others when they are harmed. In the past, these Koreans ignored them.

The Ming army was an enemy and the Ming army also robbed food.

But now that they have been bullied by the Donglu for more than a year, they finally understand how civilized and benevolent the Ming army is compared to the Hulu.

But the Hulu not only robbed food, but also killed people. One kill would kill an entire village. As for women, they did not just play with them, but directly snatched them away as mothers, daughters, and sisters, and used them as slaves, or even as slaves.

Bullied to death.

Heavenly soldiers are great!

Benevolence and righteousness!

Comparison only hurts!

There is no harm in comparing, just like why the gentry and common people in the late Ming Dynasty were willing to surrender at first, but then suddenly destroyed their homes and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and even the reason why the rogue bandits were willing to gather under the banner of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty until the end, to put it bluntly

, that is, because they have comparisons.
