On the sixth day of the ninth month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it is the hour of late summer and early autumn. The wind is gentle and the sky is high and the clouds are light.

The capital was heavily guarded outside Deshengmen. Every few steps on both sides of the road were a warrior with helmets and armor, swords and guns, and thousands of blue-clothed Jinyiwei guards were closely monitoring the surrounding area. High-headed horses carried the generals back and forth to patrol. Various flags were fluttering gently with the breeze. Against the backdrop of the mighty soldiers and various flags, the atmosphere inside and outside Deshengmen seemed particularly solemn and solemn.

Behind the soldiers was a bustling atmosphere. Tens of thousands of gentry and merchants in the capital, and the common people were crowded on both sides of the spacious road, chatting, laughing, and shouting, while waiting for the triumph of the army after the Battle of the Later Jin Dynasty.

A huge wooden shed was set up outside the wide city gate of Deshengmen. The thick pillars of the wooden shed were decorated with brocade and colorful silk. A large case was placed under the shed. A black crown was dressed in seven-chapter clothes, a nine-stamp crown on the head, a large vermilion belt on the waist, two sets of jade pendants, and soapy white ground official boots. Standing beside him was the close-fitting eunuch Zhao Xin, the fourth-rank official in the capital led by Wen Tiren, Chen Qiyu, Li Banghua, Yang Sichang, Hou Xun, and Fan Jingwen, as well as the nobles in Beijing, the eunuchs in the Sili Supervisor, and the officials of the Jinyiwei Hall gathered on both sides of the head. Looking around in the shed, there were all vermilion-purple official robes.

Zhu Cilang, who was only twelve years old, was commissioned by Zhu Youjian and led all civil and military officials to the outside of Desheng Gate to wait for the return of the army at a grand suburb welcoming ceremony.

"Report! The front of the army has reached five miles! Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give me advice!"

A fast horse ran dozens of steps outside the wooden shed and stopped. The horse's knight flew off the horse and ran into the shed. He stopped about ten steps before the big case, knelt down on one knee and saluted loudly before reporting.

"Take it again!"

According to the pre-arranged procedures, Zhu Cixuan ordered on a regular basis.

After exploring the horse saluted again, he stood up, bowed his hands over his head, took about ten steps back, then turned around and ran towards the war horse, and then jumped on the back and whipped the horse and rushed away.

A moment later, another horse was rushing to the front of the army, and this time it was three miles away.

When the third wave of horses reported that the front team had reached two miles away, Wen Tiren went out of the line and asked Zhu Cixuan to step out of the shed, and a group of civil and military officials followed closely behind him by grade division.

Just as Zhu Cixuan walked out of the wooden shed a few steps, a neat step sound mixed with sporadic sounds of horse hooves came from far to near Deshengmen. The onlookers who extended to the north were already exclaimed by watching the suburbs and we were already exclaiming a burst of marvels.

The flags of various types of army were waving in the wind. Looking around, it seemed endless. At the front of the front of the army, two great scholars of Wuying Hall, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, the general of the Five Armies, and the first-rank lady Qin Liangyu, three riders were walking slowly together. Behind him were Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji and two others, and five thousand spearmen followed him in a row with ten people and red tassels.

After seeing Zhu Cilang's figure from afar, Sun Chuanting and the other two wearing big red official uniforms strangled their mounts and turned over and dismounted. Sun Yingyuan, who was leading the front team, raised his arm with one arm. The spearmen dozens of steps behind him stopped moving forward, and the spear in his hands also changed to a posture of holding his chest. No one made a sound during the whole process, but the uniform behavior of thousands of people exuded a shocking aura, making the tens of thousands of people who were still lively just now silent.

"My minister Sun Chuanting, (Lu Xiangsheng), (Qin Liangyu) led 130,000 troops to fight outside the pass, and wiped out the Jianzhou enemy who did not accept Wang Hua. My ministers and others worked together with the officers and soldiers of various departments, and used their lives. More than 100,000 troops threw their skulls and blood, and did not fear arrows and stones. They all vowed to repay the king with loyalty. They also fought four battles outside Ningyuan City, outside Jinzhou City, outside Xining Fort, inside and outside Chenyang City! They killed the eight banner princes, princes, Beile, several Beile, Meilezhangjing, and Jialazhangjing to capture countless enemy generals, annihilated more than 60,000 enemies, captured more than 40,000, and completely destroyed Liaodong Juliang. The slave chief was buried in the sea of ​​fire. Our northeastern territory of the Ming Dynasty will be worry-free from now on!

I am responsible for the emperor's orders and supervising the front line, but I am fortunate to be humiliated! I am leading the army back and replying. If you are pleased to welcome the prince, I will be very honored to all the soldiers!"

Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu stood side by side. After bowing and bowing to Zhu Cilang, Sun Chuanting, located in the middle, bowed and reported to Zhu Cilang loudly.

"Your and others were ordered by the emperor to lead the army to fight. During the half year of the year, regardless of the invasion of cold and heat, more than 100,000 soldiers were proud of their loyalty and courage, fighting with the enemy in blood. There were countless great men who sprinkled blood on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives to serve the country with their loyalty. Such feats should be the eternal ambition of our emperor!

This time, you and others did not accept the sacred entrusted, built immortal achievements in Liaodong, destroyed the enemy in the northern border, made great contributions to the safety of our emperor and Ming, and paid their bloody lives for the happiness of the people. Their achievements are as great as those of the country!

Gu is entrusted by his father and emperor, and Yingqing and his army are in the suburbs, and he is also proud of his heart!

Come wine!”

Zhu Cilang shouted after saying that, and four eunuchs came forward with a tray covered with red silk. Four crystal clear jade bowls were placed on the plate, with half a bowl of amber yellow wine in it.

Zhu Cilang picked up a jade bowl, and the three eunuchs all bowed and raised the tray high above the top. Sun Chuanting and the other three took the bowls in their hands. The eunuchs retreated aside.

"You and others drink this glass of wine to show your great achievements! You all, drink the best!"

After saying that, Zhu Cixuan held the bowl with both hands and raised his neck slightly, drank half of the bowl of fine wine in one go. Sun Chuanting and the other two bowed slightly and poured the wine in the bowl into their throats. Several eunuchs stepped forward again. Zhu Cixuan and others put the jade bowl back on the plate. The eunuchs bowed and took a few steps back, and then left.

At this moment, not far away, the sheng drums and drums sounded, and the Ming Dynasty royal percussion band played the "Placing the World". The tune was simple but passionate, with several instruments such as horizontal pipes, drums, drums, cloud boards, and Sheng, imitating the horns of the battle formations. The sounds made by soldiers fighting and recreating the fierce battle scenes of the battlefield. Tens of thousands of people present stood still until the brief performance ended.

Subsequently, under the guidance of officials of the Ministry of Rites, two burly and tall soldiers also walked from the back to Zhu Cixuan with wooden plates in their hands. They knelt down on one knee and held the tray high above the top. The tray was placed in the tray with the king's order flags given by Zhu Youjian to Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng. This move shows that the emperor's orders received by Sun and Lu have ended, and all the rights exercised on behalf of the emperor will be taken back.

After Zhu Cilang examined the things in the wooden plate, two eunuchs took the wooden plate and then bowed and retreated with the two soldiers.

"You are all the masters, and you are heading to the Meridian Gate. My father is waiting at the Meridian Gate! The rest of the soldiers and soldiers praised me along the way and accepted the respect of all the people!"

As the music ended, Zhu Cilang smiled and said to Sun Chuanting and others. The three of them bowed again. Zhu Cilang turned around and walked towards Jin Lu, who was parked not far away. Three four-wheeled convertible carriages were arranged in sequence behind Jin Lu, which were for Sun Chuanting and others to use.

After the ministers respectfully sent Zhu Cilang into Jinlu, Wen Tiren and Chen Qiyu's ministers accompanied Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu respectively on the four-wheeled carriage. After Jinlu started, he was the first to enter the city from Deshengmen under the escort of hundreds of Han generals. The carriage that Sun Chuanting and others were riding slowly followed.
Chapter completed!
