Chapter 709: Soldiers' Might

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict"

In the end, although Jihar received the Ming Dynasty's verbal consent to exchange prisoners, he also received a scroll of holy decrees.

When the holy decree came down, the eunuch stared at Jihar, and after his face changed for a while, Jihar slowly knelt down, although the glory of the Manchurian people is important, but whether more than 200,000 Terran people can return can be more important, and he has seen too much of the strength of Daming along the way, and he does not want to anger Daming.

However, when the decree was read, Zihar was so angry that his teeth were crushed, and his anger almost broke his mind.

The content of the decree is very simple, the Ming severely reprimanded the Manchu Qing for the establishment of the country, accused the Manchus of misusing the emperor's name, regarded it as a great rebellion, and ordered the Manchu Qing to go to the emperor's name, not only the Qing Dynasty could not be called the Qing Empire, but the Qing Emperor could not be called the emperor, but could only be called the king and accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty!

This is a forced order that cannot be refused!

"Take it!" After the eunuch finished reading, he looked at Zihar mockingly and said.

Jihar's hands trembled a little, his eyes were red, and boundless shame filled his chest, and he knew very well that once he received this holy decree, it almost represented the compromise of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty wanted to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty once had to move west, all because of the persecution of the Ming Dynasty, this is a great enemy!

To ask the Qing Dynasty to bow its head to the Ming Dynasty, this is not only the shame of Tajihar alone, nor the shame of the regent, but the shame of the entire Qing Dynasty, and the shame of hundreds of thousands of people.

But

If he does not accept this holy decree today, not only will he be captured by the Ming Dynasty and 200,000 people will not be able to return, but the Qing Dynasty, which has just destroyed Persia, will also face the crusade of the Ming army, the strength of the Ming army, as early as more than four years ago in the Northern Expedition battle has been understood, besides, half a year ago the Ming army annexed Zungar, the western border has been bordered by the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming army can easily enter the territory of the Qing Dynasty from Zungar.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was at its peak, with hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry under its command, a total of two million troops, but none of them could resist the attack of the Ming army.

Zihar didn't dare to be sure, let alone gamble, and he was not qualified to gamble, so he had to forbear it first, and bring it back to consult with the regent and his people before making a decision.

"Order!" Eventually, with trembling hands, Zihar took the decree.

Seeing this, the eunuch who announced the decree smiled sarcastically, glanced at Jihar lightly, and turned back to resume his life.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Knowing that Jihar did not choose to resist, after receiving the holy decree, Zhu Ci smiled faintly, even if the Manchurians did not necessarily really compromise, they would never dare to turn their faces with Daming in Nanjing City.

Hmph, he doesn't care what kind of mood Dolgon will be after the holy decree finally reaches Dolgon's hands, but Dolgon can only have one choice, still compromise and surrender! Even if he uses a small force to suppress it, he will completely subdue Dolgon this time, and make Dolgon and all the Manchurians bow their heads.

This is not only low for him to see, but also low for the Ming civil and military officials, low for all the Ming people, completely wash away the shame that the Manchus once bringed, dispel the last trace of fear of the Manchus in the hearts of the Ming ministers and the people, and completely establish the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, if Dolgon and all the Manchus finally chose to resist to the end, then although he wanted to keep the Manchus useful, he would have to send all his troops to destroy them completely. Even if the supply line spans thousands of miles, the cost is very high, and it is not hesitated.

"Driving"

After receiving the holy decree, Jihar could not continue to stay in the city of Nanjing, so he rode his horse and galloped back to the Qing Dynasty as quickly as possible.

From Nanjing City to Isfahan, more than 10,000 miles away, when he came, Jihar took 20 days, but now Jihar can't wait for a day, holding the customs clearance document issued by the Ming court, almost every day to travel nearly a thousand miles.

At the same time that Jihar hurried back to Isfahan in the Middle East, another holy decree also went north at a very fast speed and was sent to Ji Feng, the commander of the First Army guarding Zhunger Xinjiang.

When Jihar arrived in Xinjiang, Daming's eight-hundred-mile expedited also sent the holy decree to Ji Feng.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict"

The holy decree was read, so that Ji Feng immediately reorganized his arms for battle, and once the Manchus had not replied within five days, he would immediately send troops from Xinjiang to attack the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and threaten the Manchus with strong military might!

"Hahahaha, okay, Lao Tzu is guarding Xinjiang, and he has long been staring at the Manchurians!" Ji Feng held the holy decree in his hand and laughed: "At the beginning, the Manchurians were forced by my Ming Dynasty to move west, and they never imagined that in just a few years, they would meet our Ming Dynasty again!" ”

Ji Feng's blood was boiling, saying that the Manchurians had moved west for a few years, and once again laid such a big family business, as a neighbor, Ji Feng had long been unhappy, and he had long thought that he would be defeated by the original Ming Dynasty and the dog who lost his family, no matter how this time he had to force the Manchus to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

"Order all the officers and men of the First Army to be ready to go to battle at all times!" Ji Feng ordered loudly.

The whole army was immediately busy, knowing that it was likely to meet their old opponent Manbaqi for a while, and all the soldiers were gearing up one by one, polishing their rifles and swords.

To say that the first army came from the Ying Long Army, after the first expedition to defeat Zuo Liangyu, it went directly north to Shandong and fought with the Manchus, among the armies of the Ying Long Army, the first army was the first to confront the Manchus, among all the armies of the Ming Dynasty, it should also be the first army and the Manchus fought the most, and also defeated and killed the Manchus the most, they and the Manchus were real old opponents.

In three days, Jihar has just returned to Isfahan, and at this time, there are only two days left before the five days mentioned in the holy decree, and in two days, even if Jihar immediately turns back to Xinjiang at this time, it is too late, obviously, Zhu Ci's holy decree to Ji Feng seems to be deliberately not intended to wait for Dolgon's decision to come, and it seems imperative for the first army to enter the Manchu Dynasty.

It took about a day to get from the First Army garrison to the border with the Manchus, and now there were two days left to reach the deadline.

"Hehe, Manren, I'm Ji Feng here!"

"Order, all the officers and men of the First Army will get on their horses and go to the border!" Ji Feng ordered loudly.

Before the last day came, Ji Feng couldn't wait to lead 20,000 soldiers of the First Army to the border with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"No!" 20,000 soldiers stepped on their horses, and all weapons such as swords, rifles, and field cannons were brought with them.

The "boom" army went out, the war horses galloped, the five-clawed golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and the first army pointed directly at the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
