The purpose of the parade is to humiliate. The dead cannot be seen, but the living can. Li Xiao's purpose is to let everyone know that Ming people will not die in vain overseas.

The massive parade indeed greatly enhanced the court's cohesion and national pride.

In the past, overseas Ming people had to keep their tail between their legs. The local natives often robbed those Chinese who seemed to be wealthy, and would kill them with a knife if they resisted at all.

As for the Ming Dynasty, often due to civil strife, long shipping routes beyond reach, the court's contempt for merchants, and other reasons, no one avenged the deaths of Ming merchants.

As time went by! The natives in the south were no longer afraid of the Ming Dynasty. The momentum of the Celestial Empire that Zheng He accumulated during his voyages to the West was squandered by the scholar-bureaucrats in the imperial court.

If an empire wants to be strong, it must increase its citizens' national self-confidence and national pride.

Back then, with a squad of more than 100 people, he dared to kill the Huns envoys in a foreign country. Wang Xuance was able to overthrow a dynasty in another country by borrowing troops. Behind this, there was a powerful country as support.

Li Xiao wanted all Ming people to know that there was a powerful motherland behind them. No matter what happened to you outside, this empire would be your most powerful support. If you were massacred by the local indigenous people, those

The indigenous people will face more brutal massacres.

For those natives, nothing else matters. They only like to take advantage and money, and of course the premise of all this is to live. When they realize that attacking the Ming people is equivalent to committing suicide, the overseas Ming people will be safe. Of course, there will be

There is a certain price, but compared to the benefits that Ming Dynasty has received from all over the world, this price is not worth mentioning.

The Ming Empire has almost lost its passion and vitality in the past twenty years. Today's events are a shot in the arm, making the Ming Empire burst into life again.

The team of 800 people finally reached the execution ground. The guards whipped them with whips and made these people kneel on the ground. Walking this way had greatly exhausted their physical strength. Many people actually collapsed on the ground.

, I didn’t forget to chew a few mouthfuls of rotten vegetable leaves while I was out of breath. A few of them who were physically strong were still crunching and crunching potatoes.

It stands to reason that we Chinese people never like to cause trouble to others, especially those in power like the Lord of Hell. Therefore, there will be a decapitation meal before beheading. Under normal circumstances, the standard of the meal for the decapitation meal will be very high. As long as

If you don't want to eat the best food like ginseng, abalone, and bird's nest, the prison boss will satisfy your desire to be full.

No one cares about the Javanese people, they are not the people of the Ming Dynasty. The prison boss also believes that after their death, the black and white will not come to seduce their souls. Naturally, the Lord of Hell will not see these beheaded ghosts, so he beheads

This saves money on food. The government's funds are tight, so it is better to save some money. It is better to use some cloth to make clothes for the children at home than to let these animals eat them.

Sun Chengzong sat on a chair with his eyes closed, like a sleeping Buddha. The ministers sat on both sides of Sun Chengzong, and Li Xiao, the Minister of War, sat next to Sun Chengzong. At the head of them, Emperor Longwu Zhu Yihai sat.

Looking at the crowds of people below, Zhu Yihai was a little excited. After all, His Majesty the Emperor, who came from a small place, had never seen such a big scene.

Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, stared at the shadow on the sundial. When the shadows on the sundial were about to overlap, he immediately came up and saluted Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong: "Commander, Mr. Sun, the time is coming."

"Hmm!" Sun Chengzong said "Hmm" with his eyes closed. Zhu Yihai's throat trembled twice, but he finally did not dare to speak.

Li Xiao stood up. Today he was wearing a Liao army uniform. The hat on his head was not a black gauze hat, but a Liao army cap. The red five-pointed star was shining in the sun.

"Quiet! Quiet! Please speak, Commander-in-Chief." Sun Chengzong held a tin trumpet and shouted loudly to the people below.

People nearby heard it and immediately shut up. People far away couldn't hear it and were still making noises. The silence was like waves, spreading from far to near. In just a short while, the crowded Caishikou became quiet.

.

"People in the capital, fellow citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

Two thousand years ago, our Han Dynasty had a general named Ma Yuan. He said a very heroic saying, Anyone who offends our powerful Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!

For two thousand years, this sentence has been the code of conduct of our Han nation. However, sometimes the national strength is weak and it cannot be realized.

At this time last year, hundreds of thousands of natives in Java rioted and massacred more than 40,000 of our Han people. What did the court do this year? We dispatched Annan soldiers to Java and captured 50,000 people in one go.

.Assigned to our capital, there are only these 800 people.

What is the purpose of killing these eight hundred people? It is not for everyone to watch and entertain, but to tell everyone. Our Ming Dynasty is now as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Anyone who offends my name will be punished no matter how far away!

From now on, when people of the Ming Dynasty travel to other countries, they must always remember that there is a powerful country behind you. If someone slaps you once, you slap them back twice. If someone kills one of us, we will kill both of them.

I, the Ming Dynasty, want to repay injustice. I, the Ming Dynasty, want to repay kindness with kindness, and repay hatred with justice. Blood debts can only be repaid with blood, so use their blood to pay homage to the tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty wronged souls who died!" Looking at the sundial,

The shadows overlapped, and it was already three quarters to noon.

Li Xiao shouted: "Behead!"

Following Li Xiao's order, the executioner immediately raised the ghost-headed sword. The apprentices tightened the prisoner's hair so that he exposed his neck and pressed his face against the wooden pillar. With just one blow of the sword, a cold light flashed, and there were fifty heads on the ground.

Rolling in a pool of blood.

At three quarters of noon, when a person's yang energy is at its strongest in the day, he cut off Lao Gao's neck with a broadsword. Blood spurted out of Lao Gao's chest. The red blood was like a silky ribbon, reflecting in the sunlight.

Charming light.

His head fell to the ground, and his body twisted twice like a maggot.

Huge cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone felt their blood boiling. This was the first time in many years that they heard that the imperial court would make decisions for ordinary people. Before that, the imperial court was a court for officials, and they only

He doesn't care about the life and death of the people.

Even if he was killed by foreigners overseas, those scholar-bureaucrats would not sympathize with him, but would laugh at him: He left the Ming Dynasty's great rivers and mountains untouched and insisted on running to a barbarian land, and he deserved to die.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!" Someone in the crowd took the lead and shouted.

Then countless people shouted: "Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

The sound was like ocean waves, rolling in one after another, making Li Xiao's eardrums hurt. But the people below seemed to be crazy, raising their right hands high and shouting non-stop. As soon as the voice fell, there would be another person

Raise your fists and take the lead in shouting.

For the first time, the people in the capital felt that this court belonged not only to the emperor, but also to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The sound ended, and just when everyone felt tired of shouting and wanted to take a rest, suddenly a sudden voice sounded: "Marshal Li! Long live!"

The entire vegetable market fell silent, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow the shouting or not.

"Marshal Li! Long live!" The guards guarding the execution ground were the first to shout.

The shouts of the guards were like the match lighting the powder keg.

"Marshal Li! Long live!"

"Marshal Li! Long live!" The voice rolled in like the tide and thunder in Qiantang.

Li Xiao stood on the high platform with a smile and waved to the people below. Sun Chengzong closed his eyes without even raising his eyelids, and seemed to have really fallen asleep. Li Xiao's old subordinates all stood up and shouted loudly,

One by one, like crazy demons, the ministers of various departments also stood up, raised their right hands and shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
