On the sixth day of the seventh month, the atmosphere in Jiangyin City seemed a bit solemn. The soldiers standing outside the gate holding spears, without exception, were all wearing filial pants.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he entered Jiangyin, Li Yuchun felt the solemnity in the air, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, and most of the shops on both sides of the street had door panels.

Everyone has gone there?

Just when this idea came to Li Yuchun's mind, he saw some people heading towards a place, and some people were even wearing white mourning clothes.

"Where are they going?"

Following their steps, they transferred a street corner and Li Yuchun saw that the street was full of people, and many people were wearing mourning clothes.

Is this a Confucian Temple?

Although Jiangyin is not Li Yuchun's hometown, he is not unfamiliar with Jiangyin. After all, many of his friends are from Jiangyin, but most of them died in the city more than ten years ago.

"Old man, why do you gather here?"

Walking to an old man's house, Li Yuchun asked softly.

"Don't talk!"

The old man turned his head and glared at Li Yuchun, as if he was blaming him. Standing next to the stone strip on the side of the road, Li Yuchun finally saw that the street and the open space in front of the street were crowded with people, and in front of the Confucian Temple, thousands of soldiers holding spears stood in it.

Although he couldn't see clearly what was going on there, Li Yuchun could still feel the solemnity in the air. Perhaps due to the influence of the environment, his expression became solemn and solemn.

In front of Minglun Hall, Zhu Mingzhong, wearing a military general's clothes, wore white cloth on his head and incense in his hand. On the altar in front of him, three animals and fruits were placed. In addition to the tablets of Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdu, there was also a huge tablet behind the altar - "Jiangyin Yimin General God Position".

After silently burning incense to worship the three Dukes of the Anti-Qing Dynasty and the General God of the Yimin, Zhu Mingzhong took the tribute written by Wu Youliang and recited it loudly.

"Yiyou, in the first year of Hongguang in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Yingyuan, Jiangyin Dianshi, generalized 100,000 people from Jiangyin, resisted 240,000 Qing troops, and guarded the lonely city for 81st days. The city was broken, and the Qing enemy slaughtered them. All the young and old fought to the death, and no one surrendered. Alas, how sad it was, how fierce!..."

The sound of the sacrifice echoed in the air. At this time, Jiangyin Confucian Temple, no, it should be said that it was in front of the Jiangyin Martyrs' Temple. The atmosphere was very solemn. Originally, it was the Confucian Temple, but now it is the Martyrs' Temple.

During that protest, Minglun Hall was selected as the command post of the rebel army, and all the facilities of the temple were subject to the needs of military and fighting. After the city was broken, the Qing army massacred the city for another three days, and only 53 young and old survived in the city. Except for the Dacheng Hall and the remaining buildings of the Minglun Hall, the rest of the temple were all turned into rubble.

Although the Confucian Temple was renovated seven years ago, it was also damaged in the previous fire. After Wu Youliang was appointed as the governor of Jiangyin at the request of Zhu Mingzhong, he did not rebuild the Confucian Temple, but set up the "Sheng of Martyrs" here. However, according to his original idea, he set up the "Sheng of Jiangyin" here.

This is what he called a "bad idea". This idea was used to solicit the hearts of the people and to attract the hearts of Jiangyin. That day, Wu Youliang's suggestion was naturally adopted by Zhu Mingzhong. He knew very well that after 131 years of fighting in Yiyou, the Qing Dynasty was very gentle to fight against the three Dukes of Jiangyin, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun, respectively, and was given the posthumous titles of "Zhonglie", "Liemin" and "Jingmin", thus winning the hearts of the people of Jiangyin and even making the people of Jiangyin grateful to Qianlong.

Now compared to them, Zhu Mingzhong raised Jiangyin to an unparalleled position. In addition to changing the Confucian Temple to the "Loyal and Martyrs' Temple" and serving the general gods of Jiangyin and the three Dukes of the Qing Dynasty in the temple, Zhu Mingzhong praised Jiangyin as a "Loyal and Righteous Country". Wu Liangyou asked someone to engrave the four characters "Loyal and Righteous Country" written by Zhu Mingzhong on a stone, each word is two feet square and embedded in the south gate. The Jiangyin people entering and leaving the south gate all added a bit of pride when they saw these powerful and powerful words. For a moment, the hearts of Jiangyin people were collected by Zhu Mingzhong.

Today is the day when everyone worships the Three Dukes of the Anti-Qing Dynasty and the righteous people of Jiangyin at the Martyrs' Temple. For this day, Zhu Mingzhong has spent several days preparing for this matter. Looking back at the 8,000 soldiers standing with guns in front of them, they were wearing red military uniforms.

The red military uniforms they wore were not the military uniforms of this era, but Zhu Mingzhong drew on the military uniforms of the "lobster soldiers" in the late 19th century, red tops and black military trousers. They looked extremely majestic.

Today is not just a worship of the righteous people in Jiangyin, but also a day when this army is formed. Looking at the eight thousand soldiers who have been trained in the audience for more than ten days, Zhu Mingzhong shouted in a solemn voice.

"The eight thousand soldiers of my Ming Zhongyi Camp made an oath!"

When his words fell, the eight thousand soldiers who were now used to the neat orders in later generations immediately swore in unison.

The Zhongyi Camp of the Ming Dynasty!

It was at this time that they realized their identity. They were a member of the "Zhongyi Camp of the Ming Dynasty". When Yiyou defended the city, the same identity was used by the Yimin of Jiangyin.

"The eight thousand soldiers of my Ming Zhongyi Camp made an oath!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the front of the Confucian Temple, which shocked Li Yuchun's heart trembled suddenly. Then he heard the oaths that continued to be heard there, and the oaths issued by thousands of people at the same time almost reached a tremor.

"After this time, the soldiers of my Zhongyi Camp will fight to the end, and will never stop... Win in battle and return in triumph; if you can't win, you will be determined to wrap your body back..."

The thunderous oath kept hitting Li Yuchun, which made his heart tremble, so that he could not calm down for a long time. Li Yuchun, who was standing on the street, didn't even know when the people had dispersed. After the people dispersed, he was in a daze and saw that there was a red color in the middle of the open space. The soldiers from the Eight Thousand Zhongyi Camp were clearly standing on the open space facing the Martyrs' Temple. Although most of them had only a spear in their hands, they were not wearing any armor, and only had a red dress with a strange appearance. However, they all raised their heads and chests, and their bodies were as straight as javelins!

Just as Li Yuchun looked at the team as tall as pine and cypress in surprise, a loud call suddenly sounded.

"Turn backwards!"

With the sound of the command, the eight thousand people were like a neat sound, and instantly turned to the back. The team was not at all messy, but still a neat team. The scene in front of him completely subverted his understanding, so he kept murmuring.

"This, how is this possible..."
