The next day, Li Daoxuan returned to Ning Yuan.
When his fleet passed through Niuzhuang, they were not intercepted by the Qing army.
For Dorgon, the most important thing now was to successfully raid Beijing. It would not do him any good to cause more trouble. It would be fine if the soldiers of Niuzhuang could kill Li Daoxuan, but if they could not kill him, they would really poke a hornet's nest. With that evildoer's brutality, it would be a fantasy if he did not run to Shengyang and throw gunpowder. In that case, it was better to let him go obediently! Just like that, Li Daoxuan stood on the deck of the warship and arrogantly walked away under the hateful gazes of the soldiers guarding the Niuzhuang.
The first thing he had to do after returning to Ning Yuan was to negotiate with the Qing army.
"Talk about what? I'm not talking about it!"
he said without hesitation.
"I won't talk to these shameless dogs, and I won't borrow their troops. I'm already showing mercy by not beating them up, yet I still want to negotiate with them, borrow their troops, and give them the land west of Taihang Mountain? What a joke! I will not give them an inch of land. Also, the land of Liaodong is mine, the land of Jianzhou is mine, and the land under the heavens is mine. One day, I will hang the heads of Dorgon and Huang Taiji on the city walls!”
He roared angrily.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Yutian quickly said.
It didn't matter if they didn't want to talk about it. It didn't matter whether they talked about it or not. Even if they didn't borrow troops, Dorgon would still go south. It was fine as long as both sides had a tacit understanding. The Ming army would defend Ningyuan, and the Qing army would defend Lianshan. The two sides would continue to confront each other less than 50 miles away. The Qing army would definitely not attack again. The Ming army also didn't have the ability to attack the north. If they had the ability to snatch the cold land of Liaodong instead of Beijing, wouldn't they be kicked in the head by a donkey? However, what Li Cifu did not know was that he was destined to be kicked in the head by a donkey.
The negotiation was over.
Next was Shanhai Pass.
Previously, Li Yutian had already sent out scouts. Shanhai Pass was still under the control of the Ming army, but Li Zicheng's army had surrounded it. If they wanted to rescue it, they had to first break through the Shun army outside the pass. There were at least 40,000 Shun soldiers outside the pass. It was obvious that this was not an easy task. After all, Ning Yuan had less than 9,000 Ming soldiers who could fight. In addition, the Dragon Martial Battalion only had 12,000 sailors, and the sailors were basically useless on land. Moreover, they had to leave a large portion to defend Ning Yuan. It was not like the Qing army would not attack.
After some planning, Emperor Yang decided…
He could just bring his own Internet trolls.
Thus, on the second day after arriving in Ningyuan, he left the city affairs to Li Yutian and the others, then boarded the Dragon Martial Battalion's warship and headed south to Shanhai Pass.
It was already dawn when they arrived.
"Your Majesty, Old Dragon is right in front.”
Chen Dusi walked to Li Daoxuan's side on the deck and said carefully.
The latter was looking at the coast with his hands behind his back.
The weather was good today. The sky was dotted with stars, and there were a few lights on the dark coast in the distance. In the starlight, one could see a section of the city wall like a dragon entering the sea, sticking its head out in the waves of the Bohai Sea. The waves even washed over the city wall directly. That was the dragon head of the Great Wall. Further into the distance, he could see countless lights that looked like a starry sky. In the center of these lights, there was a certain amount of darkness. It was another stretch of lights. With his superb vision, he could even vaguely see the outline of the city tower.
That was Shanhaiguan.
"In the end, they still managed to hold on!"
Li Daoxuan said emotionally.
He really didn't expect Wu Sangui to give him so much face. This famous traitor in history had actually defended Shanhaiguan for him and Ming Dynasty. One had to know that the pressure Wu Sangui faced this time was not any less than in the past. Li Zicheng had also sent out his main force in full force. The only difference was that there was a little more morale. It was really surprising that he could hold on for nearly a month.
"On the day Dinghu abandoned the sun, defeated the enemy and captured the capital, the Jade Pass, cried bitterly that the six armies were all in mourning, and rushed to the crown in anger for a beauty. What a retarded fairy tale!”
Then, he muttered to himself.
"Armor!"
he said indifferently.
Liang Cheng and the other Jinyiwei immediately carried his armor over. First, they put on a coat of cotton armor. Outside the cotton armor, there was a stainless steel breastplate in two halves. Because of its weight, two Jinyiwei had to carry it to put it on. There were also semi-circular crotch guards at the front and back of the lower part of the breastplate to protect his very important parts. Then, he put on knee armor and elbow guards on his knees and elbows. Then, he put on a sleeveless chainmail. He did not have any gloves on his hands. His weapon was too heavy. Even the chain mail could not withstand it. He could only add a piece of stainless steel on the back of his hand. As for the protection of his feet, it was relatively simple. A pair of leather boots were used to fasten the stainless steel sheets on the boots and the upper of the feet. After this was done, he put on the stainless steel helmet with a mask and the hood of the chainmail on his head. A classic Gundam was completed.
"Your Majesty, your weapon!"
Liang Cheng waved his hand as he spoke. Immediately after, four Embroidered Uniform Guards pushed a specially made four-wheeled flatbed cart forward.
Li Daoxuan casually stretched out his hand and picked up an iron claw and stuck it on his back. Then he took another one and crossed it and stuck it on his back. Then he picked up his beloved scrap war axe and waved it around like the faceless executioner in Resident Evil.
"It's time for revenge, for destruction, for the blood red dawn!”
He roared as if he was having a stroke.
Before the people on the ship could react, he suddenly ran a few steps forward and jumped into the sea without hesitation.
"Your Majesty!"
Liang Cheng and the others were so scared that they hurriedly leaned on the side of the ship and shouted.
Unfortunately, there was only the surging waves in front of them.
Of course, they didn't know that the moment he fell into the water, His Majesty the Emperor had pulled out a scuba breather from under his neck and stuffed it into his mouth. As for the gas bottle, it was hanging on his waist. His entire weight was now more than half a ton, and he wouldn't float up at five to six meters of water. On the contrary, buoyancy could reduce his load. He was like the skeleton pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean, using the guidance provided by Xiao Qian to step on the sand and reefs at the bottom of the sea and walk towards Old Dragon.
In just ten minutes, he emerged from the dark sea.
Li Daoxuan quickly threw away the scuba suit hanging on his waist. Like a sea monster, he walked to the shore with the seawater dripping from his body.
As the starting point of the Great Wall, this place was also a perfect defense system. Behind the dragon head that extended into the sea was the castle of Ninghai City. The towering Chenghai Tower overlooked the sea, and on the west side was a stairway that led directly to the Chenghai Tower. However, at this moment, there was no one on the Chenghai Tower or the city wall that entered the sea. It was obvious that the defense here was very lax.
Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate at all. He held his huge battle axe horizontally and charged straight into the passage.
At this moment, the sea level behind him had already revealed a glimmer of dawn.
In the last darkness of the night, his strange figure trod on the long steps with heavy footsteps, quickly climbing up the stairs. Soon, he woke up a soldier guarding Cheng Hai Tower.
The sleepy soldier rubbed his eyes subconsciously.
"The Dragon King is here!"
Then, he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Eh?"
Li Daoxuan was speechless.
It was obvious that his current appearance was more likely to cause misunderstandings.
At the same time, the defenders of Chenghai Tower were in chaos. The alarm bell immediately sounded, and a large number of soldiers rushed up the tower. Then, they screamed in horror and scattered. Only when an officer appeared did a few soldiers pick up their bows and arrows and shoot at Li Daoxuan in panic. However, most of them were so scared that they fled in all directions. There were even some who knelt on the city wall and kowtowed to the Dragon King for forgiveness.
Li Daoxuan arrived at Chenghai Restaurant in a few steps.
Then, he roared and swung the giant axe in his hand. The arrow mound on the city wall shattered instantly as if it had been hit by a cannonball.
The guards on Chenghai Tower were stunned for a moment. Then, someone screamed, and everyone turned around and ran. The officer wanted to stop them, but the soldier who was escaping was squeezed out of the railing and fell in front of Li Daoxuan with a series of screams. He struggled to stand up, but Li Daoxuan stepped on his back. The weight of half a ton made him spit out a mouthful of blood. He stretched out his hand like a toad that was stepped on, and then he did not react anymore.
The guards in Ninghai City were also in chaos.
The soldiers who were the first to rush out of the barracks looked at the strange figure on the city wall and heard the screams of the fleeing soldiers, the Dragon King. They shot up with their muskets in fear. The bullets hit Li Daoxuan's body, causing sparks. He dragged his huge axe, causing sparks and strange sounds. He continued to move forward along the city wall in the background of dawn.
Immediately after, the defenders in the city dispersed.
Obviously, this strange scene confirmed his identity as the Dragon King. The timid soldiers also knelt on the ground and begged for the Dragon King's forgiveness.
"I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Daoxuan stood on the eastern wall of Ninghai City, which was also the main wall of the Great Wall. He held a huge battle axe and shouted at the chaotic soldiers below him.
"Kneel down, all of you!"
He looked down at his feet with a dignified gaze and roared.
At this moment, the first rays of dawn finally appeared on the horizon. A blood-red color covered his back. He was clad in armor and gave off an extremely domineering aura. The soldiers who were already frightened looked at each other with trembling eyes. Soon, a soldier threw down his weapon and knelt on the ground. Then, all the soldiers who were still standing threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
"Long live our emperor!"
A general who looked like he was lying on the ground shouted in fear.
"Long live our emperor!"
Then, all the soldiers shouted in unison.
Li Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction.
On the beach outside the city, the warships of the Dragon Martial Battalion were docked one after another. The soldiers who were originally stationed at the castle were shouting and swarming over.
