In the New Year of the twentieth year of Chongzhen, the people in Jinan City spent it in panic.

A big battle a year ago made all the people in the city tremble, and the lives of people in the troubled world were like mustard, and the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops was enough to turn a city into a ghost town! In the battle to defend the city, many times all the people will be forced to participate in it, the young and strong will go to the city to defend the city, and the women and children will also be mobilized to transport bricks and stones to the city, and the casualties will naturally be very heavy. And if the food runs out after a long time, there will be a large-scale starvation to death. After the besiegers break through the city, they will vent their anger and slaughter and loot to vent their anger at the large number of casualties among the soldiers. Either way, it would be a disaster for the people.

Fortunately, the siege battle did not last long, and it ended in a great victory for the Ming army, and the Ming army was not as vicious as before, and the robbery and massacre did not happen. On the contrary, there were bands of law enforcement soldiers patrolling the streets, catching the ruffians who took advantage of the war to loot their property.

After the rectification of the law enforcement soldiers, the order in the city was greatly improved, and it was more peaceful and peaceful than before the war.

However, it was just a war that had caused commerce to slump, and merchants from all over the country did not dare to enter the city under such circumstances. As a result, there is a shortage of annual goods and prices are skyrocketing. Many people can't even eat dumplings during the New Year.

Fortunately, after the Chinese New Year, Jinan's four doors were opened, and peasants in the countryside could go to the city to sell their goods again, and the phenomenon of material shortages was alleviated.

However, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the people and traders who were about to enter the city at the east gate of Jinan were blocked out of the city, and were ordered to stay away from the avenue at the city gate.

However, the soldiers guarding the gate paid no attention to them, and even more disdained the silver they had secretly stuffed. So these people had to reluctantly retreat to the cordon, and the spears and muskets in the hands of the officers and soldiers were no joke.

"There should be a big man coming!" Some older people have seen some of the world and know that this situation must be extraordinary.

"What big shots? Could it be that Chen Yue, the king of Qi, can't do it? ”

"Shhhh dared to call King Qi his old man's name. But maybe it really makes him, King Qi is my hero of the Ming Dynasty, if you can see him, what's the matter if you wait for half a day! ”

"What I said is that if you can see the King of Qi, let alone wait for a few hours, you are willing to go on a day of decay!"

This winter, the name of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, has been widely spread in the land of Qilu. This time, there was no Jinyiwei to help the flames, and it was completely spontaneously spread among the people.

The movement of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition was so great that the entire Qilu earth shook, and Chen Yue's reputation spread with the war.

has saved the emperor, has made countless military exploits, and is the only woman in the history of the country, and is also young and handsome, the only king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty, these conditions are concentrated in one person, even if you want to not be eye-catching, it is difficult.

No matter what era, people need idols need spiritual sustenance, people in the era of peace envy are those literary and elegant talents, the war years respect is naturally loyal and righteous, now many young men in the Ming Dynasty regard Chen Yue as an idol as a hero, and many girls in the Ming Dynasty even fantasize about Chen Yue as a person in their dreams, and they can't wait to become a princess of Kunxing.

Under normal circumstances, a big man like Chen Yue would naturally not be able to see leisure, but now when he learned that it was likely to be Chen Yue, the king of Qi, who entered the city, these people disappeared without a trace because of their impatience to be refused to enter the city, and were replaced by faint expectations.

They did not wait long, and after about half an hour, an army appeared in the east, and the long line saw no end in sight.

In the past, when an army appeared, the people would have hid far away, but now, because of the good performance of the officers and soldiers in Jinan, the concept of strict military discipline under King Qi is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since the military discipline of King Qi's subordinates has not committed any crimes, there is naturally no need to be afraid.

The team gradually approached, and the true appearance of the team appeared in front of them, with a one-color standard battle jacket, a red hairpin on the top of the cotton hat on the head, a spear on the shoulder, or a long firearm on the back, the queue was neat and the pace was the same, but the dust and servants on the body could not hide the fierce atmosphere.

Naturally, the people don't know the phrases in the art of war, such as "its speed is like the wind, and its speed is like a forest", but just from the fact that the pace of such a long army is almost the same, they can tell that this is a strong army! Sure enough, it is worthy of the army of King Qi, and there are several strong armies in the world!

The ranks are mostly infantry, and there are very few cavalry, only occasionally there is a general on horseback in the ranks, and the people naturally do not know that only officers above the battalion are qualified to travel on horseback.

After a cup of tea, a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the team, all of them with distinct armor, and in the middle of the team there were two erected red flags, embroidered with black letters with gold edges, one flag was written "Dadu Governor Chen", and the other was "King of Daming Qi".

"King Qi is here!" The people were in a commotion, and one by one their eyes widened and tried to find out from the cavalry queue that it was Chen Yue, the king of Qi. But they were doomed to be disappointed, because all the cavalry were almost the same attire, and the figures were longing, and it was so difficult to find out Chen Yuelai from the hundreds of cavalry!

Thousands of soldiers stood guard on both sides of the gate, and the people were driven away from the gates, not allowed to approach the gates.

At the gate of the city, Li Yi waited outside the city gate with the generals of the Western Route Army, looking forward to the cavalry queue that was slowly coming.

In this battle, the West Route Army led by Li Yi made great contributions, they alone defeated the city of Jinan, not to mention, but also defeated the retreating more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers by the Daqing River, after this battle, there is no large-scale Qing army in Shandong, and the prefectures and counties can be passed on to the decide!

Looking at Chen Yue, the king of Qi who dismounted, Li Yi's mood was even more excited, he finally proved himself in this battle and lived up to the prince's trust!

"I've seen the prince!" As Chen Yue approached, the generals led by Li Yi knelt on one knee at the same time, saluting their lord and their lord.

"I've seen the prince!" More soldiers knelt down, all but the soldiers who were on guard facing outward.

Thousands of soldiers saluted together, and the scene was so huge that the people in the distance also knelt down one after another.

Chen Yue looked at the kneeling soldiers, looked at the people in the distance, and sighed in his heart, when he led the army to the south in a hurry a few years ago, he thought that one day he must fight back to the north, and now the wish of the year has finally come true.
