Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 45 Surrendering Guan Ning’s Cavalry
  After Wu Sangui received a secret report from his father Wu Xiang: King Ding actually led 40,000 imperial troops to annihilate all 20,000 of Li Yan's elite troops, and fought and won consecutively, defeating Li Guo's 50,000-strong army, annihilating half of it, and recovering the fallen territory. Most of northern Zhili.

And Chongzhen's urging edict has not come, and the meaning is quite obvious: If you don't come, don't come. Anyway, I already have new thugs, and I don't need you.

However, if I don’t go to Beijing, Shanhaiguan has been taken over by you and I will be homeless. Where else can I go?

I can no longer play with it, because I have lost the capital to play with it, so I should hurry up and join King Qin of Beijing. After all, my family, especially my beloved Yuanyuan, is still in his hands.

So Wu Sangui sped up his action and rushed to the capital.

Today's imperial dynasty was not convened. After all, it would not make much sense to convene it.

After receiving Wu Sangui's request to enter Beijing, Chongzhen followed San'er's suggestion and instead of following the regulations that foreign troops were not allowed to enter the city, he issued an order to reward Guan Ning's army who came from afar outside the city. Let them rest outside the city, tidy up their appearance, and enter the city tomorrow to be inspected at the Meridian Gate.

Batch after batch of cattle, sheep, wine and meat were transported into the Guanning military camp. This made Wu Sangui wonder in his heart when the soldiers shouted about the emperor's grace again and again. When did the emperor have money in his hands, and there was so much and so generous.

In the Forbidden Army camp and the Jinyiwei camp, the same feast of wine and meat was also being held.

What really moved the soldiers was that the prince brought boxes of silver coins and invited the families of all the fallen soldiers.

In this battle, more than 5,000 soldiers were killed in total. In fact, the surviving soldiers were worried that the prince's court would withhold the pensions of the soldiers who died in the battle as usual.

However, this time, instead of deducting the money, the family members of all the soldiers who died in the battle were invited. In front of everyone, the pensions of the soldiers who died in the battle were actually and fully distributed to their families.

Such actions once again inspired the soldiers and strengthened their determination to fight.

Once he dies, it will be worth it in exchange for his family having no worries about food and clothing.

The promised share of captured rewards was distributed to the soldiers. The soldiers were all filled with emotion as they held the heavy and increasingly fine silver coins. Feelings and fighting are a shortcut to getting rich.

Everyone began to look forward to when the next battle would take place. The sooner the better, they couldn't wait. In this way, all the soldiers are eager to fight.

Eat and drink enough, and have a good sleep.

The next day, all the Imperial Guards and all the Imperial Guards were pulled out of the barracks, onto Chang'an Street, and stood in order along the roadside.

This stop is completely different from when we set off for the expedition more than ten days ago. Their eyes were firmer, their bodies were taller and straighter, and the murderous aura they involuntarily revealed had made the people watching not dare to get close.

When the time came, the eunuch sent an order to Wu Sangui: "It is hereby ordered that Uncle Xi be defeated and lead troops to the capital for review."

Wu Sangui, who was neatly dressed, obeyed the order and took the lead on horseback. With the Guan Ning cavalry he had accumulated with countless money and food from the Ming Dynasty, he walked proudly into Deshengmen and walked up Chang'an Street.

As soon as he walked into Deshengmen and walked onto Chang'an Street, Wu Sangui suddenly felt that the current Beijing city was very different from the Beijing city he saw when he returned to Beijing.

The original city of Beijing was dirty and dilapidated, with noisy shops on both sides, dirty water flowing on the ground, and livestock feces and urine everywhere.

Pedestrians are either indifferent or look miserable. The entire city of Beijing was shrouded in a lifeless atmosphere, as if it were a dying old man. Today’s Beijing city, the shops and households on both sides are neat and clean, and there is no dirty water or animal excrement on the roads. The people who stopped to watch the army enter the city had expressions of expectation and hope on their faces. The entire city of Beijing seems to have taken on a new look, giving people a sense of rebirth and vitality.

This must still be attributed to Lu Mou. Lu Mou believes that the feeling of a city will affect people's spirit and mentality.

Therefore, he ordered the Jin Yiwei to carry out city-building activities while maintaining the security team in the capital. Yes, it is to create a clean and civilized city. Jin Yiwei was ordered to urge every shop to be responsible for cleaning the street in front of the door and clearing the existing drainage ditches on both sides of the road. This gives the city of Beijing a completely new look. The common people also feel that living in such a city has a different spirit.

Continuing to move forward, Wu Sangui saw on the left side of the road, the imperial guards in flying fish uniforms embroidered with spring knives. Their bodies were upright and their eyes were not squinting.

The imperial guard standing on the right stood with his chest raised and his resolute face raised high.

They stared at every Guan Ning who passed by, their eyes filled with murderous intent. Yes, that is definitely murderous.

Originally, Guan Ning's army entered the city, all riding tall horses, wearing heavy armor, with their chests and bellies high and arrogant. His eyes flashed from left to right, with the posture of "I am the best in the world", filled with seven dissatisfactions and eight dissatisfactions.

However, Guan Ning, who was aloof, was stared at by the murderous gazes of the imperial guards on the roadside, and his eyes became flickering and he did not dare to look directly. My waist also collapsed, my stomach became suffocated, and my arrogant aura was gone. After walking for a while, I actually felt a hint of fear and panic.

It's fear, the kind of fear that comes from the bottom of my heart under the gaze of the imperial guards.

The original intention of showing off their momentum and shocking the capital was gone. The entire team suddenly became silent, and inexplicably, an aura of decadence filled the air.

Wu Sangui felt this kind of aura, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Young men, please be energetic, don't act like a dead mother. Don't be a coward, straighten your waist."

With an angry scolding, Guan Ningjun straightened up his waist again and highlighted his belly, seeming to have regained his arrogant attitude.

However, this state did not last long, and under the overwhelming murderous aura, he couldn't help but slump down and hold his stomach in again, appearing dejected.

Wu Sangui looked at it and stopped scolding him. He could only let it go.

This is where Guan Ning is being reviewed. How do you look at it? How do you feel that this is the imperial army offering prisoners at the Meridian Gate?

Amid the uneasy gazes, Wu Sangui finally breathed a sigh of relief as he finally made it to Meridian Square.

Seeing two people, one large and one small, wearing yellow python robes standing on the tall tower of the Meridian Gate, under the canopy of a yellow umbrella, Wu Sangui couldn't help but quickly dismounted from his horse and walked to the Meridian Gate. Facing Chongzhen above, originally according to the rules, foreign military generals who were wearing armor could only bow their hands and bow in a military salute. Only when the emperor ordered to remove their armor could they kneel down.

However, under the pressure and torture all the way, Wu Sangui's arrogance disappeared, his legs softened involuntarily, and he knelt down in full salute and kowtowed to Chongzhen. "Your Majesty, King Xiboqin is late, please forgive me long live."

Chongzhen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it. Lu Mou smiled and said softly: "This is why we have the qualifications to talk to him based on our strength. We have the courage to dare to let his army enter the city."

After hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but pull out his chest again. Facing Wu Sangui, who was kneeling in the huge empty Meridian Gate square, looking small, his ambition to rule the world was once again inspired.
