As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the corner of the pier where there had been various sounds just now seemed to have been cast by a restraining technique. There was no sound or movement, and everyone stayed there.
In just one battle, Jianlu was wiped out?
After a while, Chen Jisheng came to his senses first. He confirmed with some disbelief: "The main force of the Jianlu forces has been annihilated? Are they all staying in Shenyang City and not running away?"
This seems a bit unbelievable, because Chen Jisheng knew that this situation would only happen if the three armies arrived in Shenyang together. And Jianlu was stupid enough to let the three armies surround him and not run away, and did not estimate whether the war could be won. Silly Waiting to die.
What puzzled him the most was that the three armies reached Shenyang so quickly. Based on the distance, it was a violent attack all the way, and it was possible to capture the city of Shenyang in such a short period of time without stopping.
In fact, if the messenger himself had not participated in the war, he would not have believed it. Therefore, the unexpectedness of the war and the huge results made him, who participated in the war, extremely proud.
He saw the stunned looks of those people after he said his words, and he felt very satisfied in his heart. He immediately said loudly: "The Marquis has already made a plan. As soon as the army arrives, the enemy will surrender after hearing the news. The Jurchens will all retreat." After entering Shenyang City, internal strife broke out, so our army basically wiped them all out in Shenyang City."
After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong still had a question. He asked aloud: "Then why does Zhongcheng still need the commander-in-chief to lead the army to rendezvous?"
Although Zhang Xianzhong has retired from the army, he is a person who has been in newspapers and is the leader of the Ming Army Disabled Soldiers Chamber of Commerce. Everyone in the Denglai army knows him. Therefore, the ordering soldiers recognized Zhang Xianzhong and immediately He replied respectfully: "Zhongcheng was ordered by the Marquis to raid the cities in Liaodong. The troops are just not enough."
After so many questions and answers, everyone has confirmed that the news must be true. Because with such important news, if there is a slip of the tongue, it will be corrected immediately. However, it seems that the messenger did not change his words and even detailed Naturally, there will be no mistakes in explaining the problem.
A huge noise suddenly erupted on the pier. Whether it was soldiers or civilians, whether they were Ming people or Koreans, after learning the news, they all roared crazily and vented their emotions to their heart's content.
Indeed, they were the people who suffered the most from Jianlu. Once upon a time, Jianlu was so arrogant that they once thought that they would never see the day when Jianlu was destroyed.
However, no one expected that this day would come so quickly and unexpectedly. From now on, Liaodong will belong to the Ming Dynasty again, and he can safely set foot on the land of Liaodong and return to the hometown that he has always dreamed of.
Most people cried with joy in the end, and the news gradually spread to the island. Everywhere they passed, a situation similar to that on the pier appeared.
Many North Koreans sold their specialties casually, and some even abandoned their own goods, jumped into the boat, and immediately returned to North Korea.
They want to tell this good news to the folks in their hometown, and to tell them that the Jianlu who once oppressed them and caused them great suffering have been destroyed by the Ming army and Zhongxinghou. No Jianlu will come to harass them in the future. North Korea no longer has to worry about the sudden arrival of the rebels one day!
Chen Jisheng controlled his emotions and immediately began to form an army and went to Liaodong to join Lu Zhongcheng.
This time, all the sergeants strongly requested to participate. This is a return home in glory, this is a return home with honor! Chen Jisheng understood what they were thinking, and immediately tried to satisfy them as much as he could. In the end, he was actually allowed to gather a team with a number far beyond Lu Xiangsheng's imagination.
The army headed for the land of Liaodong.
Let’s talk about the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The darkest moment before dawn has just passed. When the entire capital was still asleep, the messenger who had been rushing for 800 miles had already arrived outside the city gate.
He raised his face and shouted to the surprised defenders on the top of the city: "Hurry up and open the city gate. Delivery will be made 800 miles away. Our army will be victorious and Liaodong will be restored!"
Although the messenger was exhausted after traveling all night, he still excitedly pumped up his breath and shouted loudly. His voice spread far and wide in this quiet moment.
These words were more effective than the stimulation of cold water. The soldiers who heard them were instantly refreshed and their troubled expressions disappeared without a trace.
No one paid attention to the rules, and they all confirmed: "Liaodong has been liberated? Where are the Jianlu, have all the Jianlu escaped?"
Only the leading city guard officer still had sense. He checked the situation outside the city and found that there was indeed only a messenger delivering the order, and at least there was no flaw in the messenger's appearance.
Then he ordered the city gate to be opened, and he hurriedly walked down the city.
The messenger raised his head and affirmed loudly again: "Our army captured Shenyang, all the main forces of the Jianlu were wiped out, and the slave chiefs were defeated."
At this time, the city gate began to open, much faster than before.
When the door was only opened a crack, the officer guarding the city squeezed out and looked up at the messenger on the horse. The horse's nose was wheezing and his body was sweating. It was obviously the result of running wildly.
He confirmed it again at close range, and then exultantly ordered his men who had gathered around him to get out of the way and not to delay the messenger.
The messenger called out "drive", urged his horse again, and began to gallop toward the city.
There was almost no one on the street, and the courier's speed was not affected at all. He arrived at the Meridian Gate as quickly as possible, and the good news was quickly sent to the palace.
Emperor Chongzhen had just gotten up and was washing up when he heard a voice from outside coming from far and near: "The great victory in Liaodong, our army captured Shenyang, and the main force of the captives was wiped out. The great victory in Liaodong..."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't even bother to wash up. He left the maid serving him and went to the entrance of the palace.
When the chamberlain delivering the victory news saw Emperor Chongzhen's appearance, he knelt down suddenly and loudly announced: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor on the great victory in Liaodong!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked surprised. He stepped forward and grabbed the victory document from the hand of the chamberlain, and stood at the palace gate to read it.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced through the victory report quickly. If he hadn't recognized Master Zhong's distinctive calligraphy, he wouldn't have even believed it. It was true!
"Quick, ring the Jingyang bell immediately, summon all civil and military officials, and go quickly." After browsing it for the second time, Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered his servants.
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." The servant agreed repeatedly, without stopping the smile on his face, and hurried to Jingyang Tower.
Emperor Chongzhen was still standing at the gate of the palace, and began to read the victory report carefully for the third time. It seemed that these words written by Zhong Jinwei were a greater calligraphy masterpiece than Wang Xizhi, and he kept reading over and over again.
After reading it for the fourth time, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the good news and loudly ordered: "Quick, show up at the Huangji Palace."
At this time, the frightened maid serving him quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you haven't finished dressing up yet!"
