Chapter 79 Swearing-in
The next day Zhu Biao led Liu Jin back to the palace, and left Quan Xu behind to show Muying the three-stage attack.
Now it was the time for the court meeting. When Zhu Biao arrived at the gate of Fengtian Hall, someone entered the hall to announce. After a while, the **** who passed the decree came out and shouted: "General Xuan Tiance enters the hall!"
The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly. In fact, it was announced that he could be a prince or general Tiance, but these two identities are completely different.
As soon as Zhu Biao stroked the arm armor, he stepped directly into the hall. The golden-red iron armor exuded a compelling majesty under the sunlight.
When Zhu Biao stepped into Fengtian Hall, the officials at the end all bowed slightly and clasped their fists. With the crisp sound of iron armor rubbing against each other, everyone's attention was attracted.
Zhu Biao passed Li Shanchang and Xu Da to the front of the imperial court, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will see your majesty, long live your majesty Jin'an!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was dressed in a vermilion dragon robe, said with a smile: "Our General Tiance is back, please report something!"
Zhu Biao said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my 200,000 army of Ming Dynasty is ready to go, and we vow to recover the lost land. I have come to ask Your Majesty for an imperial edict!"
Prime Minister Li Shanchang came out of the crowd and said: "General Tiance is talented and versatile in both civil and military affairs. Now it is my great Ming's fortune to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun for my Ming. Your Majesty, please issue an order to go out!"
Xu Da also followed up and said: "The remnant party of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is still eyeing Shuntian Mansion, and the Prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Bo'er Jijin Aiyou Shili Dala gathered 100,000 cavalry to ride in Yingzhou. I think it is time to send troops quickly!
Afterwards, the Ministry of War and the censor officials also expressed their opinions one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to the opinions of both the military and the government, and then directly ordered: "If this is the case, then the oath ceremony will be held in three days, and then General Tiance will lead the army!"
Zhu Biao bowed his head solemnly to express his acceptance, and then the Minister of Rites came out and asked to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony before the expedition.
The major events of the country are sacrifices and sacrifices, and the power of sacrifices has been passed down to the present. Not only do sacrifices to emperors, queens, ancestors and gods, but also sacrifices to tooth flags and six flags. Bit, dig a ridge and bury it.
These are undeniable, and Zhu Yuanzhang can only agree, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare immediately.
Then he went down to court, and Zhu Biao didn't talk to the ministers, but went directly to the imperial study.
Zhu Biao saw his father in the middle of walking, frowning and sitting in a gazebo.
Zhu Biao walked up with a smile and said: "Why are you still frowning, are you worried about your son?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said: "Worry, you don't know how troublesome the sacrifice is, and you have to go there in person. Don't even think about resting these few days."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Then who made you the emperor of a country, how can others have the qualifications to worship the gods of the ancestors of the emperor and queen."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son with a relaxed face and said: "You are the crown prince and the general of the army. Do you think you can escape? The emperor and the empress don't need you to sacrifice now, but sacrifices to ancestors, tooth flags, six banners, and the **** of war Don't you have to sacrifice all of them?"
The smile on Zhu Biao's face stagnated, he thought these were all sacrifices to the emperor!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his son and said: "Go, change into light clothes, or you won't be able to survive the expedition. In the afternoon, you will kowtow to your ancestors with me, and go to Zijin Mountain to sacrifice tomorrow."
There has been no rest since then, the sacrificial ceremony is solemn and cumbersome, and there must be no mistakes or omissions. The Zhu family father and son are exhausted.
Finally, it was the day when the swearing-in as a teacher went out. Zhu Yuanzhang did not come, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did come together. Zhu Biao stood on a stable high platform, overlooking the endless sea of people.
Zhu Biao's exhaustion these days has been swept away, his blood is surging, and he feels his whole body is swollen, as if his body has grown a lot out of thin air.
He doesn't know what mood he is in now, he just greedily looks at the neat army formation below, the rustling of banners and the sound of people shouting and horse neighing can be heard endlessly!
Zhu Biao let out a breath slowly, his face calmed down, he held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, and looked up at the vast sky, but there was a strange touch in his heart.
Zhu Biao felt a strange smell in the air. It was a very special smell. It wasn't the smell of sweat, or livestock feces, or the smell of burning gunpowder, but it was inexplicably sour.
Zhu Biao made up his mind, pulled out the long sword around his waist, and pointed at the sky obliquely. Following the shouts of the school captains, the whole school field could only hear the rustling of flags blown by the wind and the neighing of horses Voices.
Zhu Biao walked two steps forward to the edge of the high platform, looking at the quiet army with a calm expression, the ministers below were all terrified, for fear that he would fall, and that would be a big joke.
Zhu Biao laughed with satisfaction, and then began to shout out the Northern Expedition: "Since ancient times, emperors have come to rule the world, and they have lived in China to control the barbarians, and the barbarians stayed outside to serve China. It is unheard of that barbarians live in China to rule the world. Since Song Zuo was overthrown, and the northern barbarians from the Yuan Dynasty came to dominate China, within the four seas, no one will surrender!"
"My emperor, a commoner, rises up to fight, sweeps across the Central Plains and conquers the barbarians in the north, drives out the barbarians, restores China, establishes the principles and disciplines, saves the people, establishes the Ming Dynasty, and restores our Han people!"
"Now the northern barbarians still occupy my homeland of China, and heaven and man are all angry. As the eldest son of the royal family, I was ordered by heaven to conquer the barbarians in the north. I vowed to crusade against the non-subjects and regain the old land. The emperor and the empress are witnesses, and vent the anger of humans and gods." !"
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he silently waited for his will to spread throughout the army. The soldiers who could hear his voice would convey his words down step by step. Of course, in fact, his words were more In order to listen to the soldiers, they don't have the ability to understand.
Before the expedition, the rewards for killing enemies and material rewards for soldiers have been formulated. War mobilization is only a supplement, and it will not work without these actual rewards.
Before the battle, the school officers of each barracks will explain the reward methods to their subordinates, for example, what is the reward for the first person to rush to the city wall; what is the reward for cutting off the head of an enemy; What do people reward and so on.
These reward and punishment systems are posted everywhere in the barracks in express regulations, and every soldier is guaranteed to know the content before going out.
Not long after, some people in the army began to take the lead in shouting: "Da Ming Wan Sheng! Da Ming Wan Sheng! Da Ming Wan Sheng!"
As the atmosphere rose, the number of people shouting Wan Sheng ranged from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and then to 200,000 people in the entire army shouting Wan Sheng in unison!
Zhu Biao tightly pursed the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and listened to the very penetrating voices. Two hundred thousand people shouted in unison, feeling his heart trembling.
Zhu Biao opened his eyes, and with a wave of Sapphire, he climbed up to the high platform and waved a sun, moon and Ming character flag!
