Chapter 211 Recovering Jinzhou, the Country's Name and Chronology

Seeing Zu Dashou's worries, Ye Changming couldn't help but smile and comfort him:

"General, don't worry. Our People's Salvation Army has new artillery and firearms, and everyone has magical powers. There are only tens of thousands of Qing troops, but they can be destroyed with just a flick of the hand."

"oh!"

Zu Dashou smiled and nodded. Why did he feel a little unreliable?

Although it only took a few months for the People's Salvation Army to almost fight the Ming Dynasty in close combat, and also defeated the Qing army, there is no doubt that it is powerful.

However, he always felt that five thousand sergeants was a bit too little.

Deep down in his heart, he was even thinking about whether surrendering to the Salvation Army was the right choice for him.

However, things have reached this point, but he can only wait until tomorrow to see the final result of the battle.

On the second day, Zu Dashou stood on the city wall and looked at the tens of thousands of Qing troops under the city. He couldn't help looking worriedly into the distance. He was looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements soon, but also worried about the defeat after the arrival of the reinforcements. He was in a state of confusion for a while. .

Time passed by in a hurry, and soon it was three quarters past noon, which was about eleven forty-five.

Ye Changming, who was standing next to him, suddenly said something.

"coming!"

"Coming? What's coming?"

Zu Dashou was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Ye Changming was saying that reinforcements were coming.

However, when Zu Dashou looked around, he did not find any shadow of the army.

"Boom boom boom"

Just when he was confused, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance.

The next moment, he saw a black dot flying from the sky, falling towards the Qing army camp outside the city.

"This is artillery!"

Zu Dashou said hesitantly.

"Yes, this is artillery!"

Ye Changming nodded proudly.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he couldn't help but look outside the city in surprise.

Naturally, he has seen artillery before.

However, he had never seen artillery that could shoot such a distance.

After estimating the sound of the artillery fire and the direction in which the shells first came from, I guess it must have been twenty miles up, right?

Today's artillery is already remarkable if it can shoot several miles. It is unthinkable to hit twenty miles.

However, what shocked him was yet to come.

I saw that after the countless shells fell, they exploded immediately. Balls of fire rose up, and countless shrapnel shock waves exploded, overturning countless Qing troops and killing them.

Huang Taiji in the distance, as well as Dorgon and others who had just escaped not long ago, looked at the sudden explosion in the camp and instantly recalled the scene of the battle with the People's Salvation Army.

"No, this is the People's Liberation Army coming to kill us!"

"Sweat profusely."

"withdraw!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, but still issued the order quickly.

When they didn't think of a way to effectively deal with the Salvation Army's artillery and firearms, they had no choice but to retreat and preserve their strength when facing the People's Salvation Army.

"Boom boom boom"

Listening to the loud noise coming from the city and looking at the chaotic Qing army camp, Zu Dashou couldn't help but be stunned.

"This, this, this"

Zu Dashou opened his mouth, but felt his throat was dry and he was speechless.

After a long while, Zu Dashou, who had just regained his composure, looked at the chaotic Qing army camp under the city and couldn't help but blurt out.

"Should we cooperate with the reinforcements and go out of the city to attack the Qing army?"

"."

Hearing this, Ye Changming looked at the Qing army camp outside the city that was under fire, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Zu Dashou strangely.

Are you sure you want to go out of the city to attack the Qing army now?

"Uh, haha, it's a joke, it's a joke, it's just too shocking."

Feeling Ye Changming's gaze, Zu Dashou also reacted fiercely. Now that they were leaving the city, they were either going to flank the Qing army, or they were going to die.

And he was killed by friendly artillery.

For a moment, Zu Dashou couldn't help but feel that San San was too shocked just now and was a little unable to react.

After a slight pause, Zu Dashou said with emotion again:

"I've heard that our National Salvation Army has the best firearms in the world, but I never thought they were so sharp.

Even though they are dozens of miles away, they can still hit easily.

The power is even more unimaginable.

Under the explosion at close range, I am afraid that even with strong infuriating energy and wearing precious armor, it is difficult to resist."

"That's right, the King of Heaven once said that under the guns of our Salvation Army, the Mongolian cavalry who are good at conquering and fighting can also become good at singing and dancing."

"Able to conquer and fight well. Able to sing and dance well."

Zu Dashou murmured in his mouth, looking at the Qing army camp outside the city that had been plowed almost once, he couldn't help but his expression changed, but in the end he nodded with a wry smile in relief.

"Haha, it's true!"

With such powerful muskets and artillery, the role of cavalry will be greatly reduced, and its greater role will probably be reflected in long-distance attacks and transfers.

As for fighting

Just look in front of you and you will know that the enemy has been completely wiped out before even seeing their shadow.

While the two were talking, a cry of death suddenly came from far away from the city. The deafening roar finally stopped, and another sound came out.

"Papa pa pa"

With the crisp sound of gunfire, batches of surviving Qing troops fell down, and a group of rescue troops dressed in gray suddenly appeared.

Seeing the one-sided killing under the city, Zu Dashou couldn't help but swallowed dryly again, and an idea emerged in his mind.

"The world is settled!"

Even this large area of ​​Liaodong will be recovered soon.

In the afternoon, when Zu Dashou sent troops to assist the rescue army in cleaning up the battlefield and welcomed the rescue army into the city, he was still in a daze.

The siege of Jinzhou was solved in this way.

After resolving the siege of Jinzhou, the five thousand People's Salvation Army quickly dispersed and once again recaptured Dalinghe Fort, Yizhou Guard, Daqing Fort and other places.

Standing in Dalinghe Fort again, Zu Dashou couldn't help but have a complex look on his face.

I think it was here that he surrendered.

Now, with the help of the People's Salvation Army, he has returned here.

However, the People's Salvation Army's recovery operations ended here.

It is true that the People's Salvation Army expanded too quickly this time, destroyed the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, annexed too many places, and was seriously short of manpower.

Being able to allocate 20,000 to enter outside the customs has already taken into account the special situation outside the customs.

However, as more and more places were taken over, the number of the People's Salvation Army gradually dispersed, and it was no longer enough to support continued expansion.

You can't, just use dozens of people to defend the city then, right?

Although they are much stronger than ordinary people.

However, it did not reach the point where the gap in numbers was ignored.

If tens of thousands of Qing troops attacked the city, a few dozen people would not be able to resist it anyway.

Therefore, even if the dynasty wanted to regain Liaodong quickly, it had to suspend its offensive.

On the other side, after completely occupying and rectifying the capital, everyone once again wrote to the dynasty, requesting the dynasty to establish a country and proclaim themselves emperor.

This time, everyone did not communicate in private, but wrote a letter according to their own wishes.

This time, Dynasty did not refuse.

Suddenly, Wuchang, Wang Zhiyuan and others couldn't help but be overjoyed and began to discuss the founding of the country.

However, when everyone was discussing the name of the year and the name of the country, they always felt that something was not satisfactory.

It took more than a month before and after, but it was not finalized.

In the end, everyone put the issue before the dynasty.

Looking at the era names listed in front of him, Dynasty also couldn't help but have trouble choosing.

The determination of a country's name is not only the choice of a name, but also the definition of national identity, the continuation of cultural heritage, and the planning of future development directions.

This decision will profoundly affect the country's image and positioning in the world, so everyone has just been discussing it, but they have always been hesitant.

Among the many alternative names placed in front of the dynasty, words such as "Qian", "Kun", "Hua", and "Xia" have all been discussed by everyone.

Each of these words contains rich cultural meanings and historical symbols.

For example, "gan" implies perseverance and strength, representing the country's firm will to serve the people and strong strength;

"Kun" symbolizes flexibility and inclusiveness, reflecting the country's open attitude and the integration of multiculturalism;

"Hua" represents the prosperity of Chinese culture and highlights China's long history;

"Xia" is a tribute to ancient civilization, expressing the country's respect for history and admiration for its ancestors, etc.

The proposal of these national titles not only caused a lot of debate among the people, but also some hesitation among the dynasties, not knowing which one should be chosen better.

In terms of the chronology system, the formulation of era names also carries the outlook for the new era and the people's vision.

The title "Holy Emperor" was mentioned frequently in everyone's discussions, and most people liked this title.

It not only represents the supreme ruling authority, but also entrusts people's pursuit of peace, prosperity and well-being.

It also reflects the people's respect and trust in the dynasty and expresses their best wishes for the country's future.

Finally, after careful consideration, the dynasty invited everyone.

In Dongnuan Pavilion, after everyone paid tribute, Chao Chao said directly:

"Everyone, the national title is of great importance.

We feel that we must not only inherit the wisdom of our ancestors, but also create our own era.

We, China, have been the kingdom of heaven since ancient times. This is the will of God and the will of the people.

Now, after thinking about it, I want to directly name it "Celestial Dynasty" to show the greatness of China.

What do you think? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

They did not expect that the dynasty would come up with such a bold idea.

Celestial dynasty? Can this also become a national title?

But thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with this?

Who stipulated that the name of the country must be based on the Qin, Han, Tang and Ming Dynasties?

Besides, now that the King of Heaven has come to the throne, his supernatural powers have appeared, and under the rule of the People's Salvation Army, there are almost no hungry people. This is a prosperous scene that has never been seen in dreams in the past.

This is not much different from the legendary fairy world, right?

Not to mention, anyone who is canonized by the dynasty can mobilize the destiny of a place and possess supernatural powers far beyond imagination. Is this any different from the legendary immortal officials and immortal officials?

Moreover, I heard that the King of Heaven is still compiling magic courses.

In the future, will everyone be able to learn magic?

Does that mean that all people in the entire country will master magical powers? Are they all immortals?

If you think about it this way, it is really appropriate to name it after heaven.

The more they think about it, the more they can appreciate its meaning.

Yes, with the power displayed by the National Salvation Army and the dynasty today, why can't it be named after the Celestial Dynasty?

"The Holy King of Heaven!"

Wuchang stepped out and bowed with excitement.

Seeing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but stand up and bow down, shouting loudly.

"The Holy King of Heaven!"

"Everyone, please get up."

After Wang Chao smiled and asked everyone to stand up, he continued:

"As for the era name, I don't think there is any need to choose a specific era name."

"this"

Before Wang Chao finished speaking, Wuchang couldn't sit still and immediately stood up to refute.

However, before he could stand up, Wang Chao had waved his hand to stop him and continued:

“I think we can completely abandon the traditional way of counting the year with the emperor’s year name supplemented by the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

Count directly from our ancestors.

The Yellow Emperor was an acquaintance of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, and was the ancestor of China. We can definitely use the Yellow Emperor to record the years. Time starts from there.

It can also better demonstrate China’s long history and splendid culture.”

Everyone listened to Wang Chao's story and fell into deep thought. There was indeed some truth to this.

Using the Yellow Emperor Calendar to record the years will not only highlight the greatness and glory of China, but also inspire the people's patriotic enthusiasm and national pride.

Of course, some areas where the calculation is inaccurate or inconvenient can also be improved by referring to the Western calendar.

After more than half a day of discussion, everyone finally decided to use "Celestial Dynasty" as the new country's name, aiming to highlight the great status of China.

At the same time, it was decided to abandon the traditional year number and instead adopt the calendar named after the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor Calendar.

This move is intended to highlight the profound historical heritage and cultural accumulation of the Chinese nation and enhance the national pride of the Chinese people.
