Chapter Thirty-ninth: Southern Expedition Sacrificial Flag
April 18th, the auspicious day of the zodiac, will be used with weapons.【】
At dawn, the drums and horns sounded, and the soldiers of each division marched from the military camp to the school grounds that had been opened outside the city. The military looked solemn and there was the sound of crows. Everyone stood quietly at the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the commander-in-chief.
Today will be the day when the Guan Ning Army officially marches south to conquer the Qing Dynasty, and it will also be the time to sacrifice the flag!
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Qiang, fully armored, came out from the south gate of Tugursk with a group of generals. The guard held the flag high in front, followed by three hundred cavalrymen in full armor and red cloaks.
Three cannon blasts passed through the sky, and the trumpeter raised his long horn high, "woo woo", and the empty peaks echoed. Under the dazzling sunshine, a bright yellow dragon flag danced in the biting cold wind.
It was embroidered with the eight characters "Drive out the Tartars and restore China to us." The reason why he used this bright yellow dragon flag was not because Zhao Qiang wanted to establish himself as emperor, but because he went south to conquer the Qing Dynasty in the name of "Drive out the Tartars and restore China to us."
"In addition, he also wanted to avenge the "late emperor".
Liu De, Chen Ang and others who were ordered to come did not agree with Zhao Qiang's words of revenge for Wu Sangui when he went south, because Wu Sangui's reputation was no longer worth mentioning in the hearts of the Han people. If Guan Ning's army still regarded Wu Sangui's Great Zhou as its orthodoxy,
, fearing that they would not be accepted by the Han gentry and common people in Guan. Zhao Qiang was also very helpless about this. Most of his generals were from the old Wu army. In their minds, Wu Sangui was not a "house slave with three surnames", but a leader.
King Pingxi and Emperor Zhaowu led them to fight from north to south, and then from south to north! Moreover, the largest source of troops for this southern expedition was the 60,000 old Wu troops from Ninggu Pagoda and Shangyang Fort and more than 30,000 troops loyal to Wu Sangui.
If the Yunnan people do not display Wu Sangui's banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will not be able to convince the generals and win the hearts of the old Wu army and the Yunnan people. In this way, they will not be able to rapidly expand their military strength.
Once the more than 60,000 Wu army's old troops regain their vitality and fighting spirit, they can be a huge force that can be thrown into the battlefield at any time. If they cannot collect all these Wu army's old troops for the sake of temporary fame, it will undoubtedly be the biggest loss for Guan Ning's army.
The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit! Whose name do you follow and whose banner do you fly? What’s worth worrying about!
Zhao Qiang decisively refused the persuasion of Liu De, Chen Ang and others, and ordered them to draft a clarification letter overnight to show to all parties!
After following the big flag to the school field, Zhao Qiang raised his hand to signal the three armies. He suddenly reined in his horse and whipped his whip, and fired three arrows, all of which were aimed at the target. The officers and soldiers of the three armies immediately cheered. After practicing archery, they then practiced various weapons. They were arranged on both sides of the front of the school field.
He was armed with long and short fighting weapons such as a big sword, a painted halberd, and a carved sword. Every time Zhao Qiang galloped, he would gallop to the weapons place, and a guard would hand him a weapon. He would catch it steadily on the horse, then gallop forward, waving the weapon
Like fighting and attacking, he can use it freely, gallop through the wind and rain, and be extremely heroic!
"Commander Chitose! Chitose! Chitose! Chitose!"
Under the cheers of the soldiers of the three armies, Zhao Qiang ascended the general platform and slowly glanced at the three armies, his face full of determination and confidence. Later, he ordered Zhou Peigong to be tied to the flag and nodded to the executioner.
Yesterday, I talked with Zhou Peigong late into the night, but still could not persuade him to serve for him. He refused to train his troops and refused to form a formation. He also pointed out that he was a traitor and a traitor to the country. This made Zhao Qiang furious. He no longer had any sympathy for his talents and decided to do it next time.
When the sun rose, he would pull it out to sacrifice the flag, to show his determination to conquer the Qing Dynasty, and to reassure the generals from the old army of Wu Army. They could see with their own eyes how this traitor, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Wu Army soldiers, was beheaded!
Zhou Peigong knew that he was bound to die, so he did not struggle, nor beg for mercy, nor was he afraid. He walked up to the flag with his head held high and fearlessly, and allowed the executioner to hold him down. He did not kneel at first, but he still did not kneel when he was forced to hold him down.
, execution hand, hit the joint of his hind legs with the back of the knife. Under the pain of the heavy blow, Fang's knees fell to the ground, with his head still raised, showing contempt. Seeing him like this, Zhao Qiang hated him and was extremely reluctant to give up.
He secretly said that this man was indeed a hero. Although he was a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he still had the qualities of a hero. However, he was already riding a tiger and could not pull Zhou Peigong away again. At that moment, he signaled for execution. He was not worried that Zhou Peigong would be able to curse him angrily, because
This man's tongue has been cut out.
Ge Feihu solemnly stepped up to the stage and shouted to the executioner: "Open the knife to sacrifice the flag!"
Then there were three loud noises, and Zhou Peigong's bloody head rolled down on the wet grass. His eyes were wide open, still showing unwillingness. Ge Feihu shouted again: "All officers and men, stand and listen quietly to the commander's explanation."
Say hello!"
Immediately, all the soldiers from Zhao Qiang and other divisions knelt on the ground, bowing their heads and listening quietly.
"It is said that Yu of the Tang Dynasty surrendered and was regarded as an ancient saint. The conquests of Tang and Wu were also due to the fate of heaven. The Han Dynasty had moved to Xinmang, and Liu. also revived. Even though Huiqin was captured by the Jin people, King Kang of the Song Dynasty still rebelled.
The country. It is the common practice of the past dynasties to change the old days and create new ones. It is the story of the original dynasty. But I, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, once founded the country of Nanjing. It was passed down to Huai Zong of the Ji Dynasty, and then died in Bei Jue. Nai Tianxin
After the death, King Chuang caused great chaos in China. He was distressed that he could not retain the throne, so the emperor fled to Wuyue. Chengqing made a mistake and should drive away tigers and wolves. A bad regent is like a snake sealing a pig. Even if he succeeds, he will retreat and die for his country.
Why is it difficult? A virtuous person is in the position, so why hate the virtuous? Only the foreign barbarians have usurped China, the wind is dry and the Jie are respected, the night man is arrogant, the pearls and jade in the wilderness are all empty, and the corrupt officials are harming the people. The fat in the village has been exhausted.
The excessive accumulation of money and food poisons all living beings.
Now, the way of the rulers of the Yi people is high, and the evil spirits are rampant; the moral scholars are all subordinates, and the people who fight against Shu are rarely in prominent positions. The king is ignorant and the ministers are dark, the officials are cruel and corrupt, the rivers are miserable and the mountains are sad, and the women are crying, so that
When comets fall, the sky complains; when landslides and earth tremble, the earth complains below; when officials sell their titles, officials complain about the court; when government is suppressed, the people complain about the countryside; when tariffs are imposed heavily, businessmen complain about Tu; when corvées are frequent, workers complain about them.
At Si.
It was the day when the late Emperor Zhaowu of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked down, attacked the violent and rescued the people, and obeyed the will of heaven and the people. He led the military ministers to work together, and participated in the righteous deeds. On the first day of the first month of the Jiayin year, the Yin engraving was made to honor the third prince, to worship the earth in the suburbs, to honor the great treasure, and to build the building.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty issued a message to the public, informed the temples and raised the army, mobilized 3.6 million land and sea officers and soldiers, and marched directly to Yanshan. They drove Lushui for a long time, raised bronze camels on thorns, and laid jade in golden soup. However, the late emperor did not take the lead when he left the army.
His death caused the land of Shenzhou to sink, repeating the hand of the barbarians. Now we, following the late emperor’s orders, raise the banner again and swear to avert the wrath of heaven and man. Reinforce our divine power, cut off the atmosphere, and carry out the strategy of prosperity; we will cheer for the wind and thunder, and build
Plan a perfect strategy, howl and sing in the rain; if you can discern the right time and follow the wind, the grass and trees will not be damaged, and the chickens and dogs will be frightened; dare to be obedient and rebellious, love the current personal favor, forget the original owner, hold on to the dangerous pass, and resist our pass
Ning, that is, supervising the cavalry, personally marching through the nests and nests, killing the old and the young, and killing both men and women. If there is a Confucian scholar who is proficient in the art of war and works hard to conquer the valley, he may as well offer his advice to the army to assist the legs and arms, and he will be promoted as a star.
Jin Gaojue has been given a generous title. Officials in various provinces who are honest and love the people, and who are honest and honest in writing, can still serve alone. They have collected grains, sealed warehouses, sealed letters and books, and sent them before dismantling the army. If they have unfinished business, they should be awarded separately.
As for the treaty, everyone should strictly abide by the warning and avoid staining the sword head with blood. I am very lucky, and the whole world is very lucky!"
After reading the memorial, Zhao Qiang turned around again and made a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to the memorial tablet of Wu Sangui, the "Emperor Zhaowu of the Great Zhou Dynasty" that was being enshrined in the general platform. He picked up a glass of wine, raised it to the sky, and drank it lightly.
, then turned around and issued military orders to the generals:
"Marshal Zhao, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army of the Guanning Army General Office, would like to inform the officers and soldiers of the three armies: The Qing Dynasty's northern expedition army has gathered in Heilongjiang. Now we are fighting together. We hope that our officers and soldiers of the three armies will bravely kill the enemy and defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop.
Send troops into the Pass and restore the Han Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison: "Long live Guan Ning's army, a thousand live the commander-in-chief!"
This earth-shaking mountain cry made Zhao Qiang very excited. For many years, he had been thinking about and looking forward to this day! Today, he could finally lead the Guan Ning army he had built with all his strength to go south to conquer the Qing Dynasty. If he could conquer the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop,
The annihilation of Kangxi's Northern Expedition army can be determined outside the pass, but it can be determined originally! By then, the Han Dynasty is expected to recover, and a hundred years of humiliation will forever be a memory! It is not in vain to come to this era!
