In the early July of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, at the East Daying Campus of the Capital!
A drizzle fell in the sky, and the air was slightly moist.
On a huge school ground covering an area of several hundred acres, tens of thousands of Ming army elites were dressed in armor, with swords and guns in hand, and their whole bodies were in uniform, like rows of upright green pines, straight and strong!
Today will be the day when the main force of the Ming army sets out to conquer Liaodong!
Reinforcements from Xuanfu, Shanxi, Shandong, and Jizhen, totaling more than 70,000 people, will take the oath here and accept the review of Emperor Chongzhen!
These include Xuanfu Town Commander Yang Guozhu, Shanxi Commander Hu Dawei, Datong Commander Wang Pu, Miyun Commander Tang Tong, Jizhen Commander Bai Guangen, and Shandong Commander Liu Ruyi!
Seventy thousand soldiers, crowded, overwhelming, like a huge steel frenzy, showing the masculinity of men in the world!
Emperor Chongzhen stood on the high platform on the east side of the school grounds, looked down at the more than 70,000 soldiers, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
On both sides of the high platform, ten large drums as tall as one person were set up. Twenty shirtless and muscular men were beating the drums desperately to cheer!
In front of the high platform, nearly a hundred young eunuchs with nimble legs and feet were waiting in formation, ready to wait for Emperor Chongzhen's call at any time!
Xue Guoguan, the chief minister of the cabinet, Chen Xinjia, the minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Xinyi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Shan, the minister of rites, and other dozens of high-ranking officials and dignitaries were standing on both sides of Emperor Chongzhen, wanting to witness together this event, which was the most important event for the Ming Dynasty.
A crucial battle!
Emperor Chongzhen specially wore a bright yellow knitted dragon robe today, a golden crown on his head, and a shining sword hanging from his waist!
At this time, he was standing at the front of the high platform, his eyes scanning the faces of every soldier under the stage one by one. It seemed that he wanted to remember everyone's face in his mind!
Because these elite men are already the last assets Emperor Chongzhen can use at the moment!
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not summon Liu Ruyi during these days after that day of drinking. On the one hand, it was because of his emperor's face, and on the other hand, he was also thinking hard. There was a deeper meaning in Liu Ruyi's words.
the meaning of!
But now, after seeing these last elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen realized that what Liu Ruyi said was right. Only these men who stand upright and put their heads on their belts can support his Zhu family.
The backbone of the world!
Last night, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it all night and never closed his eyes, but he still couldn't make up his mind to take the most crucial step!
‘The imperial commander personally marches?’
It seems easy to say it! But how difficult is it to actually do it?
Not to mention the distance, the shadow of the 'Tumu Fort Incident' was like a huge demonic barrier, firmly stuck on the head of Emperor Chongzhen!
But in the final analysis, it was Emperor Chongzhen’s selfishness that was at work!
‘If Liaodong is pacified, the world will be pacified!’ How could Emperor Chongzhen not understand this truth?
But the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is actually at a complete disadvantage. Although Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to, he could not muster the courage to risk his life to pledge his ancestors' three hundred years of inheritance!
As the saying goes, 'Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes!'
Three hundred years of wealth and splendor, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Lan Yu have long passed away. Who among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty can still regain the glory of their ancestors?
At this time, the eunuch Wang Chengen gently walked into Emperor Chongzhen's side and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived!"
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, and it took him a moment to react, "Why so fast? I thought it would take a while."
Perhaps due to the influence of Liu Ruyi, this was the first time that Emperor Chongzhen looked at the more than 70,000 men under his command with a straight eye and from the lowest angle!
Liu Ruyi is right. Only by feeling and experiencing with your heart can you discover how cute these Ming Dynasty's most common big-headed soldiers are!
Even if Emperor Chongzhen is given another chance to choose, he will never leave the most time of his life to those ministers who do nothing but only know how to make trouble, nor will he leave his time to the beauties in the harem.
Instead, go to the various armies on the nine sides in person and take a look!
Take a look and support Ming's back. What are they doing? Are they living well?
It's a pity that history has no ifs, and Emperor Chongzhen has no time left!
Reluctantly retracting his gaze, Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath of fresh air full of earthy smell, forced himself to calm down, and said to Wang Chengen: "Daban, let's start!"
"Yes!" Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed respectfully, trotted to the front of the stage, and informed all the senior officials and nobles, then walked to the front of the stage and winked at a little eunuch!
The little eunuch hurriedly cleared his throat and shouted with his huge voice: "The emperor has a decree, the auspicious time has come, all the troops have an audience!!!"
"The emperor has a decree, and the auspicious time has arrived. All armies are here to see you!"
The huge voice was passed on one after another, like an artificial loudspeaker. Soon, the entire Dong Daying Campus could clearly hear it!
The more than 70,000 soldiers in the audience suddenly cheered!
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, armies from all over the Ming Dynasty entered the dynasty. This happened almost once or twice every year, but since Jiajing and Wanli, such situations have become very rare!
At this time, seeing such a grand scene again, not only Emperor Chongzhen, but also senior officials and dignitaries were looking forward to it!
The first person to walk past Emperor Chongzhen's reviewing stand was Bai Guangen's more than 18,000 Ji Zhen army!
Although Bai Guangen's miscellaneous troops are not very good in terms of combat power and equipment, they are better because they have more people, and they are basically young and strong. When they come here, the momentum is extremely huge!
Bai Guangen specially selected a majestic white horse. At this time, he was fully dressed in military uniform, riding on this tall white horse, with his sword unsheathed. When he walked in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Bai Guangen got off his horse and faced the high platform respectfully.
Emperor Chongzhen kowtowed three times, then raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Jizhen Army, eighteen thousand soldiers, respectfully greet you!"
"Ji Zhenjun, please greet me!"
More than 18,000 people shouted in unison, the sound resounding throughout the heaven and earth!
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile. He had never felt such a dominating momentum in the court!
"Holy greetings! I wish the men of Ji Town to be invincible on the battlefield of Liaodong, to exalt the power of our Ming army, and to grant everyone the title of wife and son!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live my Emperor! Long live my Emperor!"
More than 18,000 people knelt down in unison. Although everyone was wearing armor and could not perform a full salute, the momentum alone was intoxicating!
~~~~~~~
On the side, Wang Pu, who was waiting at the rear, saw that Bai Guangen, who was such a bear, was able to excel so well next to Emperor Chongzhen. He couldn't help but said with jealousy and disdain: "Humph! The villain has succeeded! This bastard, what he said on his lips
The singing is better than the singing! Who knows what this bastard will look like if he actually goes to the battlefield!"
Liu Ruyi is not as jealous as Wang Pu. After all, the increased combat power of Ming armies has more advantages than disadvantages for Liu Ruyi!
"Brother Wang, you can't say that! Lao Bai, it's not easy for him either! Being able to show off in front of the emperor will make you feel more at ease in Liaodong!" Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Wang Pu's hand.
Shoulder said.
Since Wang Pu and Bai Guangen were not far apart from each other, they secretly had some disputes over business matters. Naturally, they didn't like Bai Guangen no matter how they looked at him!
"Damn it, Brother Liu, I just don't like this bastard!" Wang Puren was a little angry!
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Brother Wang will use his momentum to suppress this guy! When it comes to you later, you have to behave well!"
Hearing what Liu Ruyi said, a smile appeared on Wang Pu's face, "Hey! Brother Liu is right. You must see the performance of my Datong brothers later!"
~~~~~~~~
"Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, kowtows to my emperor, long live my emperor!"
At this time, it was Yang Guozhu's turn to step forward. He knelt down on the ground respectfully and kowtowed three times to Emperor Chongzhen. Tears were already streaming down his face!
Although Yang Guozhu has been in the army for more than 30 years, this is the first time for him to have such an honor as being inspected by a saint!
Emperor Chongzhen was also very moved. He personally signaled the young eunuch to help Yang Guozhu up, and encouraged him with gentle words: "Yang Qing, you and other veterans are the pillars of our Ming Dynasty! I will ask you a lot for this Liaodong situation."
Got it!"
Yang Guozhu couldn't help but be even more moved. He kowtowed a few more times and then slowly left with the support of his own soldiers!
Seeing this situation, although Liu Ruyi didn't say much, her brows furrowed unnaturally!
Emperor Chongzhen said this, which was going to force Yang Guozhu to a dead end!
~~~~~~~~
The troops passed by one after another. At this time, it was finally the turn of Datong Commander-in-Chief Wang Pu!
Wang Pu was well prepared. He was wearing a bright red battle armor and riding on a snow-white sweat-blooded horse (which he bought from Liu Ruyi after crying and shouting for 50,000 taels of silver).
!), holding a sword studded with gold threads, walked into the arena with his head held high!
Look at his appearance, he is really majestic and charming!
"I, together with Wang Pu, bow to the emperor and wish the emperor long live, long live, long live!"
Nearly seven thousand Datong disciples behind him all knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"
"Okay! Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and encouraged him in person. Wang Pu then left happily!
~~~~~~
At this time, Liu Ruyi, who was at the end of the team, also received a notice from the little eunuch that it was time for his colored stone army to come on stage!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile. Emperor Chongzhen had arranged for him to be last, and he probably had deep intentions!
Forget it! At this point, it’s useless to say anything. All we can do is talk about the steel sword and military exploits in our hands!
Liu Ruyi is not as pretentious as Wang Pu, nor as hypocritical as Bai Guangen, nor as excited as Yang Guozhu, but calm and composed, riding on a black sweat-blooded horse, surrounded by nearly 7,000 elite colorful stone troops.
Surrounded by others, he slowly walked towards the foot of the high platform!
"General Zhendong, the last general, Liu Ruyi, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, come to see my emperor!" Without any unnecessary movement, Liu Ruyi knelt down on one knee and saluted Emperor Chongzhen respectfully!
Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little complicated, but he still forced himself to smile and said warmly: "Liu Aiqing, I'm very grateful to you for this battle in Liaodong! I wish Liu Aiqing a victory, and for our Ming Dynasty, we can put an end to the troubles of the Eastern Slaves as soon as possible!"
Liu Ruyi nodded heavily, "Thank you for your grace! I will do my best in this humble position!"
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and nodded, then said nothing, but gave Liu Ruyi a slightly meaningful look!
Liu Ruyi didn't say much. Instead, she clenched the sword in her hand tightly and shouted: "I am the Ming Dynasty!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
The 7,000-colored stone army behind them shouted loudly, almost without thinking, and their voices echoed through the sky!
"The Emperor is victorious!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
"I am the Colored Stone Army!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
Seeing the seven thousand colorful stone armies suddenly erupting with huge energy, not only Emperor Chongzhen, but also the high-ranking officials and dignitaries around him were all a little confused at this time!
The troops that passed by just shouted some words of blessing to the emperor. How could they be like Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army, which directly shouted "Wan Sheng", such a domineering and non-negotiable slogan!
This this?
None of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries present are fools!
Just looking at the appearance of this army, they could clearly feel that Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army was completely different from the Ming Army that had just passed by. These slogans were not forced and forced at all, but had almost become theirs.
An instinct!
This this?
How can this instinct be formed?
This is the instinct that has gone through a real mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a real instinct to fight out from the pile of dead people!
Emperor Chongzhen also had a complex expression on his face. He stared at Liu Ruyi's figure and couldn't say a word for a long time!
As Liu Ruyi's 7,000-colored stone army walked out of the high platform, everyone originally thought that the swearing-in ceremony was over, but from the west end of the school ground, another team suddenly walked in!
This team is not large in number, only about five or six thousand people. They are all dressed in gorgeous clothes. Although their military appearance is not neat, they are wearing a noble air!
The first general galloped to the foot of the high platform, turned over and dismounted, and shouted: "The last general, the deputy general of the capital camp, Ma Rulong, kowtows to my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
A group of veteran soldiers behind him also shouted in unison!
Only then did everyone realize their feelings. In this battle of Liaodong, the Beijing camp was also dispatched!
Emperor Chongzhen ignored everyone's reactions, but looked in the direction of Liu Ruyi not far away, which was quite profound!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, Emperor Chongzhen wasn't so ignorant!
