The Qing army withdrew from the pass. Due to Li Guodong's layout, the Qing army suffered heavy losses this time. The Zhenman Eight Banners soldiers lost more than 10,000 people. In addition to the losses of the Korqin Mongolia Eight Banners, Han Army Banners and the outer vassal Mongolia, the Qing army lost more than 40,000 people. The county prince Yuetuo was killed. Yuetuo's two sons were captured and the other was killed. Abatai Beile was killed, and the other was lost. Nineteen people in Niulu Zhangjing, six people in Jiala Zhangjing, two people in Meile Zhangjing, six people in Mongolian generals were killed, and five generals in Han Eight Banners were killed. It can be said that the Qing army suffered the most severe defeat against the Ming army since the old slave's uprising.

The losses of the Ming Dynasty were much lower than in real history. Originally, the Qing army plundered 460,000 people, but this time it was defeated by Li Guodong. As a result, most of the captured Han people fled. The Qing army only obtained more than 200,000 people. In addition, Li Hong captured several cities and captured gentry, merchants and merchants' families and slaves, reaching more than 200,000.

The Qing army came out of seclusion, and Li Guodong and his more than 20,000 troops lived in Jinan City for more than a month. During this period, he was entertained by King De and served delicious food and drink every day. After receiving the news that the Qing army came out of seclusion, Li Guodong took the prisoners and brought the captured heads to Beijing to offer prisoners.

On the sixth day of the second month of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Li Guodong led his army to the capital, and those who were traveling were Hong Chengchou, Yan Jizu, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and others.

As for Liu Zeqing, who had been hiding in Dezhou after the Qing army invaded, he knew that he was guilty and did not dare to come to the capital to meet the saints. Liu Zeqing knew that as long as the army was in hand, the court would have no choice but to do no matter how bad things he did. This time, the Qing army ran rampant in Shandong and fought to Jiaodong, breaking more than ten cities, and even the Holy Land of Qufu was captured by the Qing army. Yan Shenggong's family was tragically killed. The impact of this matter was extremely bad. Liu Zeqing knew that if he entered the capital, he would not have thought of coming back alive.

However, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu had to go to the capital to meet the saint. Even if he knew that he might be taken down by Emperor Chongzhen and imprisoned to death, he could only go to the capital. If he refused to obey the order, perhaps Emperor Chongzhen might be in anger and destroy his three clans. Even if Chongzhen was willing to let him go, scholars in the world would not let him go. After all, the destruction of Qufu City and the destruction of Yan Shenggong's family was too great among scholars. This matter is no less than that of Zhang Xianzhong burning the Fengyang Imperial Tomb.

Zhang Xianzhong burned down the Fengyang Imperial Tomb, which only caused Emperor Chongzhen to be furious; but the destruction of the Holy Land of Qufu caused public outrage among the scholars all over the world. All scholars in the world wanted to swallow Yan Jizu alive.

Although the most guilty were generals such as Liu Zeqing and Ni Chong, because they were afraid of the enemy and did not obey the imperial edicts of the court, they had more than 100,000 heavy troops, but they had retreated in Dezhou for nearly half a year, causing the Qing army to enter an uninhabited land in Shandong for nearly half a year, causing heavy losses in Shandong. In terms of crimes, these generals should be beheaded. However, Yan Jizu knew very well that it was already a chaotic world, and the fact that the civil and noble military despicable facts had lost their meaning. Emperor Chongzhen could kill civil officials like killing a dog, but did not dare to touch those generals with soldiers in his hands.

On the way to Beijing, Yan Jizu was uneasy. He felt that the only thing that could give him a glimmer of life was Li Guodong's great achievements. In the battle in Jinan, he killed Yue Tuo and Luo Luohun, captured Luo Luohong alive, and wiped out more than 15,000 enemies. This was a real 15,000 Qing army! Although most of them were fake slaves, this was also the biggest victory in Shandong.

However, Li Guodong's contribution gave Yan Jizu a very small chance of survival, because during the Jinan victory, Yan Jizu was in Dezhou. Before, Jinan sent three letters of help from him, but Yan Jizu did not dare to send troops to rescue Jinan. Therefore, the contribution of Jinan victory had basically nothing to do with him, and the crime of Qufu's fall was related to him.

The ice in the canal had melted, and Li Guodong's 21,000 Jinyang Army troops headed north on canal boats. On February 14, the ships loaded with Jinyang Army had just passed Tongzhou. Officials from the Ministry of Rites came in intensively and comforted the victorious army. At the same time, the triumphant celebration banquet prepared by the three ministries of rituals, officials and soldiers were also sent to the Jinyang Army, and each general was asked to prepare in detail.

In the afternoon of the same day, the army arrived outside Zuoanmen along the Yongding River, and then the army disembarked and walked outside Yongding Gate.

The army was stationed outside Yongding Gate, and the people of the capital rushed over like a tide, watching and rewarding this victorious army.

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, some Xuan Army, and Wang Quan's Huai Army also came. As a great hero of the Julu victory, Wang Quan was naturally with Lu Xiangsheng. Nominally, Wang Quan's Huai Army was not under the jurisdiction of Li Guodong, and the two belonged to different systems. Li Guodong's Jinyang Army was recruiting soldiers, and Wang Quan's Huai Army was a military household.

On the 16th, the Jinyang army was about to enter the city to offer prisoners.

Before dawn, the people in the city had already gotten up one after another and stood on both sides of Zhengyangmen Street in Yongding Gate and waited.

Outside the city, generals such as Li Guodong, Yang Guozhu, and Hu Dawei were wearing armor. Li Guodong wore the imperial phoenix winged helmet on his head, the imperial luminous armor, and a white cloak. He was wearing a white horse under his crotch. The red tassel of the horse spear in his hand was also replaced with white cherry blossoms, majestic, just like Zhao Zilong, the rebirth of Changshan.

Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and other generals were wearing bright light armor and wearing a big red cloak, and a red horse under their crotch. Li Guodong's favorite general Han Dashan was wearing a black helmet and black armor, wearing a black cloak, and a big black horse under their crotch. The soldiers of the Jinyang Army and Xuan Army had already lined up together. Everyone was full of red light and sorted out their armor and weapons over and over again. Each of them had high chests and tried hard to stand straight.

The Jinyang Army was the most powerful. In front were 2,700 cavalry, including Ye Bushu, all of which were tall and big horses; behind were 2,900 camel soldiers and 500 god warriors, riding tall camels; then were prisoners, and chariots were loaded with heads; behind were 12,000 infantry, swordsman, spearmen, and bird gun soldiers arranged in neat rows; at the end, two thousand artillery soldiers, carrying nine-headed heavy muskets, or sitting on cannon chariots, heavy musketsmen carrying muskets, following the infantry; behind were tall and big horses, pulling a cannon, and the gunners sat on cannon chariots.

"The auspicious time has come! The soldiers of the two armies of Xuanda, Jinyang, entered the city!" Yongding Gate opened wide, and the reputation of the officials of the Ministry of Rites came.

"Enter the city!" Li Guodong shouted.

The Xuan army, who followed Li Guodong, were all cavalry. Because they also participated in the Battle of Jinan and won a great victory, Yuetuo and Luo Luohun had their contributions, so they followed Li Guodong into the city to offer prisoners.

The cavalry in front lined up in two rows of columns and entered the city in a mighty manner.

"Camel! So many camels!" The people were used to the cavalry's tall horses, but when they saw so many camel soldiers, they screamed. Have they ever seen so many camels?

"This kind of animal is so big. It will definitely beat Jiannu's cavalry to the ground, right?" someone exclaimed.

An elderly man said: "As such a huge animal, when a Jiannu cavalry charges, a war horse hits a camel, it is a death sentence."

After the camel soldiers passed, there was a convoy of prisoners. The auxiliary soldiers and civilians pushed the cart, and Yuetuo's body was lying on the first cart. When Yuetuo was caught up, he had just gotten up from the bed and was mounted on a war horse. He was wearing a fur cloak. Before entering Beijing to offer prisoners, he replaced his purple-gold armor. Yuetuo's gold knife inlaid with gems was lying beside him.

Following the cart behind, Luo Luohun's body was pulled, and the corpse from the other place in his original head was sewn.

Behind them are the captured various flags of the Qing army. Then there is a prison car, and Luo Luohong is imprisoned in the cage.

"Die Tartars!"

"Bow him to death!"

Rotten vegetable leaves, stones, mud, and saliva hit the prison car like rain. After a while, the prison car was covered with rotten vegetable leaves and mud. The auxiliary soldiers who were escorting the car were also unlucky. Several auxiliary soldiers who had no time to dodge were covered with rotten vegetable leaves, and their bodies were covered with saliva and mud. Some people were smashed on their faces, and they were in a mess. If the soldiers on both sides of the street had not stopped them, the angry people would have rushed up long ago and tore Luo Luohong into pieces.

Behind Luo Luohong's prison car were groups of Qing soldiers tied up in various colors. They sat on the cart with dull eyes, their faces full of depression. The cart escorted the prisoners into the city was attacked by rotten vegetable leaves, mud, stones, and saliva. Some people even wrapped manure in paper and threw it at the cart.

"Tartar soldiers!"

"Many Tartar soldiers!"

"I deserve it!"

The people were excited and stopped by the Ming army who maintained order.

What came afterwards was a large cart filled with heads. On each car, the Qing soldiers' heads were piled up like mountains, which was shocking.

After the car offering the heads passed, there were teams of infantry arranged in a row. The infantry were wearing thick armor and arranged in neat formations. The iron armored soldiers at the front were holding large iron shields, and the iron armor shone with dazzling silver light; the spear soldiers immediately followed, wearing red cotton armor, with neat teams and long spears like a forest; the bird gun soldiers at the end were also wearing red cotton armor, carrying bird guns on their shoulders, and short swords hung around their waists.

The infantry phalanx walked into Yongding Gate from outside the city and walked all the way to Zhengyang Gate. The team was still neat and there was no deformation in the team.

"The Qi family army can only do it, and the formation is not messy when walking fifty steps. This army has been around for a mile, and the formation is still neat! It is indeed elite!"

"It's good for an average army to walk thirty steps."

"No wonder he can defeat Jiannu in such a strong army!"

The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp standing on both sides of the street to maintain order were talking, and their eyes were filled with envy.

The last thing passed was the artillery team. The tall horse was leading and a majestic cannon. These cannons were strange. There was a car in front, with artillery soldiers sitting on it, and a cart behind it. A missionary from the capital was marveled: "This is the principle of a four-wheeled cart. I thought that the Orientals did not know how to build a four-wheeled cart, but I didn't expect that this army had a four-wheeled cart!"
