People who heard the movement immediately turned their heads and looked over there with curiosity.
It sounds like you are very happy, is there something good going on?
Thinking of this, the first reaction of many people was that there was news about the war, and it was good news. Because the thing that everyone was most concerned about at this time was the war with Jianlu. The first thing they thought of was naturally
It's about what they care about most.
However, they quickly came to their senses. The army had only been out for a few days. It was impossible to get news so soon, right?
Just when they were wondering, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, a shout came closer and closer to them.
"Great victory in Jizhou, capture alive Jianlu coach Aixinjueluo Abatai! Great victory in Jizhou, capture alive Jianlu coach Aixinjueluo Abatai..."
"What?" Those who heard the news were immediately dumbfounded.
No matter how much they thought about it, they never thought that the imperial officers and soldiers would even capture Jianlu's commander alive! In other words, this victory was a very, very big victory?
The reason why they have such adjectives is that there have been so-called great victories against Jianlu before. For example, the Ningyuan victory was also called a great victory, but there was not even a Jianlu head! But this time, there was not even a Jianlu head coach.
They were all captured alive! This is a very, very big victory!
There were even knowledgeable people who quickly introduced to the people around them: "Have you heard, the surname is Aixinjueluo, he belongs to the puppet emperor clan, which is equivalent to our vassal king level. Such people are all considered
Caught, haha..."
Everyone who heard the news was overjoyed, and just like the people on the other side of the city gate, they couldn't help but start cheering.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
"..."
As long as everyone heard the news, whether they were men, women, old or young, rich or poor, they all cheered immediately. They seemed to be happier than if money fell from the sky. After all, rich people don't care about money falling, but
Everyone cares that the imperial army can defeat Jianlu and it is a real victory!
Capturing Coach Jianlu alive means that this victory will definitely not be exaggerated and may be faked. Unlike the first level, there may be fraud. Otherwise, when you see Coach Jianlu later, someone will definitely recognize him.
It's fake.
After hearing the news, many people cheered and rushed home immediately, thinking of telling their families the news.
Adults, children, women, and the elderly, all without exception, trotted home without caring about their image. Some even burst into tears with excitement.
"Madam, the imperial court has won a great victory!"
"Dad, the imperial court won a great victory and captured the Jianlu commander alive!"
"Ms. Gong, the imperial court has won and Jianlu has lost!"
"..."
As the express horse rushed all the way to the Forbidden City, scenes of tears of joy were staged in the areas it passed.
For many years, every time we fought against Jianlu, the news that came back was that the battle was a defeat, or even the entire army was annihilated. Basically, there was no good news.
Now, in these troubled times, in such difficult days, they suddenly learned that the imperial officers and soldiers had achieved a great victory and had captured the Jianlu commander alive, which really made them happier than anything else!
"Quick, quick, take out the firecrackers you saved for the New Year and light them up!"
“Have a big meal today and prepare it later for the Chinese New Year!”
"..."
Half of the capital was immersed in a sea of joy, and it spread to other places at a very fast speed.
Over at the Forbidden City, as the horse came to report victory, the Forbidden Army, officials, chamberlains, and palace maids all cheered one by one.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was in the Wenhua Hall, discussing with the six cabinet ministries and the Supervisor of Ceremonies the news coming from the Yellow River flood area, saying that the people there had fled to the capital in droves.
He Fengsheng and others gathered together urgently. The rebels here were invading. Although the imperial army went out to fight, the outcome was unknown. Those victims who came to the capital area were like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen said that it was okay to come. The materials purchased from Jiangnan happened to be transported to Tianjin and Tongzhou, so the consumption of allocating them to the Central Plains was reduced.
Regarding this, the monarch and his ministers still had different opinions. While they were talking, they heard cheers coming from outside.
Upon hearing this movement, the people in the Wenhua Hall naturally reacted.
Some people are a little unhappy. Why is there such unruly things in a place like the Forbidden City?
Of course, some people are a little curious. Even in a place like the Forbidden City, there are such cheers. Is it a good thing?
Among them, only Emperor Chongzhen immediately thought of what it might be. Suddenly, his hands hidden in his sleeves began to tremble slightly. He looked up and looked outside the hall, wanting to see at the first glance whether it was the Sun Chuanting sect.
People came back to report victory, was the war in Jizhou won?
This battle in Jizhou was really very important to him. Although he listened to Liu Weichao's words, he pretended to be confident in front of his ministers.
However, if there is no final result for a day, his heart will always be hanging!
At this moment, he felt that knowing the outcome of the Jizhou War was like knowing the score in the college entrance examination in later generations. The expectation and anxiety in his heart were really indescribable!
"Great victory, our family seems to hear people shouting great victory!" Wang Chengen's ears are a bit pointed, maybe because of his high status, he can speak more casually, or maybe he is a roundworm in Emperor Chongzhen's stomach, and he knows that Emperor Chongzhen wants to hear
What, he shouted with surprise, "Long live Lord, long live Lord, it seems like a great victory, the battle of Jizhou is won!"
After he finished speaking, the cheers were getting closer and closer, and among them, the sound of someone shouting could also be vaguely heard.
Except for Emperor Chongzhen, everyone had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Although they had thought about it and prayed in their hearts that the imperial army could win. However, this was just a beautiful wish in their hearts! They had never won against Jianlu. Even if Sun Chuanting led the army, so what?
At the beginning of the year, the leader of the army was Hong Chengchou, who was more famous than Sun Chuanting as a military commander. He led 120,000 elite troops, far more than Sun Chuanting led, and they were elites who had experienced actual combat; and among Sun Chuanting's troops
, most of them are just water workers trained this year.
In their understanding, they actually expected the imperial officers and soldiers to win, that's all.
In their subconscious, in fact, most of them still don't have any hope of victory.
"Your Majesty, a great victory in Jizhou, capture alive the Jianlu commander Aisin Gioro Abatai! Your Majesty, a great victory in Jizhou, capture alive the Jianlu commander Aisin Gioro Abatai..."
Repeated shouts came from far and near towards the Wenhua Hall.
It was the voice of the General Secretary, and the joyful voice was absolutely unimaginable. This was an old man in his fifties or sixties.
In the Wenhua Hall, everyone except Emperor Chongzhen suddenly changed their expressions from disbelief to ecstasy.
They all heard clearly that Jizhou was victorious and the Jianlu coach Aisin Gioro Abatai was captured alive!
Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, rushed towards the entrance of the hall and bumped into the General Secretary. When he saw the urgent memorial in his hand, he snatched it away, then turned around and trotted towards Emperor Chongzhen.
At the same time, he shouted happily: "Long live Lord, great victory in Jizhou, great victory in Jizhou..."
When the general envoy saw it, he was not angry. He just giggled like a fool. He was so happy today that he was so happy that he didn't care about things!
The courtiers in the Wenhua Hall followed Wang Chengen's figure and stared at the victory document in Wang Chengen's hand.
The reason why they were like this was that at this time in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, everyone in the imperial court realized that Jianlu seemed to be invincible.
Especially after the Battle of Songjin, the 120,000 elite imperial officers and soldiers, led by the famous Hong Chengchou, were all defeated by the Jianlu. There was even news that even Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Jianlu.
This incident also dealt a huge blow to the princes in the court.
The same is true. In the original history, whether it was Zhou Yanru or other ministers leading the army, they were all afraid of the Jianqiu. Emperor Chongzhen sent them to resist the invading Jianqiu, but in the end they would only follow them from a distance, even
Don't even dare to get close.
Under this background, they were naturally shocked when they learned that Sun Chuanting not only defeated Jianlu, but also captured Jianlu's coach alive, a man named Aixinjueluo.
Emperor Chongzhen's expression seemed to be the calmest. He calmly watched Wang Chengen submit the report of his victory.
But only Wang Chengen saw it. Emperor Chongzhen's hand stretched out from his sleeve to read the victory report, trembling slightly.
Of course, with Wang Chengen's urinary nature, he would definitely pretend that he didn't see it and wouldn't say anything nonsense.
Opening the report of victory, Emperor Chongzhen read it quickly, his face finally blossomed with joy, and he immediately praised: "Good, good, good..."
The ministers below waited for a while, but saw that Emperor Chongzhen was still praising him and said nothing else at all.
Zuo Maodi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was a little anxious and asked: "Your Majesty, what are the details of the war?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, what is the specific situation of the battle?" Huang Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, was also anxious and asked.
Needless to say, other ministers were eager to know the specific situation of the victory and quickly followed suit.
Emperor Chongzhen heard their questions and raised his head to look at them. He suddenly remembered something and immediately suppressed his excitement and said with a smile: "It's just as I expected, a devastating victory!"
Having said this, he looked at Wang Chengen and said to him: "Come on, my companion, please read the victory report to all your dear friends!"
When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly said "Ai", happily picked up the report of victory, and read it to the Sixth Cabinet and other the most senior officials of the Ming Dynasty.
