Tens of thousands of soldiers enshrined Li Zicheng's remains and memorial tablets and returned home, armed with gold and armor, and thousands of horses galloping together. Emperor Yongchang was not able to witness the collapse of the Ming and Qing dynasties during his lifetime, but behind him, there were countless
Dashun's soldiers marched forward bravely and finally destroyed two decadent dynasties, allowing Tianbaofu to usher in the glory of a new dynasty today.
The brothers of Lao Chuangying felt this, and even Tian Jianxiu, who had been ordained and became a monk in Wuchang, was invited back. Among the commanders of the fifth battalion and the original members of Chuangying, Zhang Nai, Li You, and Ma Shiyao were missing.
Tian Hu and several others.
Yuan Zongdi supported Tian Jianxiu and stepped forward. He felt sad for this old friend who had died in front of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, but he also felt relieved that Li Laiheng could send someone to invite Tian Jianxiu to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
"Yufeng... everything in the world is over, there won't be many battles to fight in the future."
Tian Jianxiu had no hair or beard. He was wearing a monk's robe and had a thin face. After Yuan Zongdi's words, Tian Jianxiu walked to Li Guo and Li Laiheng's horses, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed:
"Now that the world is rough, I hope the Second Saint can remember what he did when he broke into the camp and raised troops. The people in the Ming Dynasty were in chaos, so that the world was in chaos. The new dynasty must remember the reasons for the chaos in the Ming Dynasty.
The poor monk has made up his mind but lives in a Buddhist temple. He only worries about this one thing. All the people in the world have been tired of Chongzhen for more than ten years. It will be necessary to recuperate and recuperate for one generation before they can start construction and expedition. In the next twenty years... from now on.
Let’s give the people a stable and comfortable life in twenty years!”
Li Guo turned around and glanced at Li Laiheng. Li Laiheng dismounted his horse, held Tian Jianxiu's arms with both hands and helped him up.
"Tian Gong doesn't have to be like this! The past has disappeared. In the future, all ministers and people will enjoy peace. It doesn't have to be like this." Li Laiheng said, "Recuperate and recuperate... This is also the wish of Taizu. Of course, the Holy One will keep this in mind and restore the Central Plains.
The people's power is just to immigrate to the border, and to pursue the remnant Qing Dynasty is also a major event related to the fate of the country, and we cannot relax either."
Li Guo said: "Laiheng has been setting up camps in Henan and Chu for several years, but I am afraid that this policy cannot be maintained for a long time in the Taiping era. We should take advantage of these few years of farming to pacify Sichuan, Shu, Fujian and Liaodong, and generally restore it first."
After the territory of the Ming Dynasty was established, it was time to recuperate and renovate with the people. Whether we will follow the example of the Wu and Tang sects of the Han Dynasty and spread the power of China to all directions is a matter for future generations and cannot be predicted by our generation."
Tian Jianxiu kowtowed a few more times. Yuan Zongdi couldn't bear to look at it, so he hurriedly helped him up and put him in the car to rest. Many of the Yuan Cong who accompanied him were once Tian Jianxiu's subordinates. They knew that
Tian Jianxiu almost caused the collapse of the middle road of Dashun State because of the coup after Li Zicheng's death.
Now that the Second Saint has received Mr. Tian in such a friendly manner, all the grievances and grudges in the past have disappeared with the overall victory of Dashun.
In the joyful sound played by Liu Tichun, those things in the past have indeed become very small and indifferent. In the countless victories, even Li Laiheng will become extremely tolerant!
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying... Weijiahai is returning to its hometown."
The civil and military heroes of Dashun followed Li Guo and Li Laiheng and walked forward, surrounding the tablet of the late emperor Li Zicheng. On both sides of the queue, hundreds of musicians sang "The Great Wind Song" by Han Gaozu in unison.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.
Weijiahai comes back to his hometown.
There are strong warriors guarding the four sides!"
The ceremony's sacrificial speech was recited by Pingzhang Zhengshi Fang Yiren himself. The sacrificial speech was written by Chen Zilong, a leader in the southeastern literary world. The sacrificial speech was elegant and quite consistent with the life experience of Emperor Taizu.
Fang Yiren first recited in a low voice, and then his tone gradually increased and his tone gradually increased, until he finished reading the entire ten thousand-word article in one breath.
After the Ming and Qing armies massacred and occupied Mizhi many times, almost all the generals who broke into the camp suffered the same fate as Li Zicheng and Li Laiheng's family. Almost all the relatives of the villagers who stayed in Mizhi died at the hands of the officers and soldiers.
Under the butcher's knife of the captive.
The only ones left in the countryside were some squires who had persecuted them in the early years. Li Guo was moved when he heard the singing, and many generals of the Chu army who were born in northern Shaanxi couldn't help but shed tears when they thought about what happened to their families.
Li Laiheng also thought of his sister who died young, and couldn't help but squeeze the hands of Luo Yanqing and Youci.
While everyone was weeping, Liu Tichun suddenly took the lead in singing:
"Every family weeps to the emperor, everyone weeps to the emperor,... Countless men and horses are rolling in, marching into the Chu Nao Central Plains!"
Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang looked at each other and at the same time sang the harmony for Liu Tichunfu again:
"Every family cries to the emperor,
Everyone cries to the emperor,
Parents and wives throw each other around!
You are against it, and so am I,
Countless men and horses rolled around,
Throw yourself into the Chu Nao Central Plains!"
When the generals heard this song, they could no longer bear it, and many of them began to cry loudly. Li Guo took off his helmet, dismounted, knelt on one knee in front of Li Zicheng's memorial tablet, and sang softly:
"Revenge for revenge,
To retaliate against injustice,
Those who are in danger cannot escape,
Blood debts must be repaid with blood.
in the end,
A noble man is worse than a dog,
Fighting with each other and disturbing the Yanyan."
Everyone felt sad. Li Laiheng also took off Fan Yang's hat. He turned around, faced the ministers and generals, and sang the entire song again:
"Every family weeps to the emperor, everyone weeps to the emperor, parents and wives shun each other. You are against it. I am against it too. Countless people and horses are rolling into the Chu Dynasty in the Central Plains. Revenge for revenge, injustice for injustice, and disaster will befall the people.
Escape for your life, and repay the blood debt with blood. In the end, the dignitaries are worse than dogs, fighting and disturbing the swallows."
This ballad was a tune that soldiers often sang casually when they broke into camp and fought in the world. The first time Li Laiheng heard this song was when he followed Liu Zongmin to stay in the capital of Yiling Prefecture.
Halfway through the song, Li Laiheng thought of Liu Zongmin, the commander-in-chief who died in Yiling. How many people had the Dashun Army sacrificed along the way to this day? How many of them should have been like Liu Zongmin in later generations, at least in
He left a name of his own in history, but ended up dying in obscurity in the loess soil of northern Shaanxi?
In this hell on earth at the end of the Ming Dynasty, how many outstanding people died among the thorns and vegetation?
Among all the people, Li Guo's sadness was the strongest. He and Li Zicheng were like father and brother, and the goal they had been striving for for half a life was finally achieved today, but Li Zicheng could not see the peace of Mizhi in the future.
During the thunderous singing, Li Guo's eyes were filled with tears. As he cried, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the surrounding Yulin guards all screamed in surprise when they saw this.
Liu Fangliang and Li Laiheng came together to help Emperor Guangzhong up. Liu Fangliang held Li Guo's hand tightly, and Li Laiheng held him in his arms. Both of them shouted the names of "Holy Lord" and "Father Emperor".
Li Guo squeezed Liu Fangliang's fingers and said with a smile, "Call me Brother Guo!"
"Your Majesty! Call the medical officer quickly! Call the royal doctor quickly! Let Long live see what's going on!"
Li Laiheng shouted loudly, but Li Guo knew his physical condition well. He grabbed Li Laiheng's clothes and said:
"Laiheng, you must love the people with your heart... You must rule the world with your heart, and the people will love you. Rule the world with your heart!"
Li Guo's hand slowly dropped, and he whispered again:
"When Gong Shangshu was narrating history to me, he once said that it is unprecedented for Dashun to have three generations of ancestors and grandsons who all started from the grasslands and succeeded in achieving the emperor's career. It is extremely difficult for Dashun to conquer the world.
Unprecedented.
It is precisely because of great success in the midst of thorns that the world can only be achieved through rough roads, so you need to cherish Laiheng even more. Remember, remember!"
