On February 15th of the twelfth year of Yongli, the Jianchang garrison troops that Zhu Cixuan had been waiting for finally arrived under the leadership of Liu Zhen and Yang Youcai. Zhu Cixuan was extremely happy and rushed to the city gate to greet them in person.
From a distance, Yang Youcai's broken gong voice was heard shouting: "Brothers, we are reaching Chengdu Mansion just ahead. His Highness the Crown Prince has been looking forward to the big guy's arrival for a long time. He must be waiting for the big guy at the city gate now."
.Everyone, cheer up, we are all soldiers, don’t hang your heads and be unable to move, acting like motherfuckers. After hundreds of miles, you will be tired..."
I heard a burst of laughter from the crowd, followed by a chaotic chorus of responses, which dispelled the atmosphere that was originally slightly depressed due to fatigue.
Zhu Cixuan laughed. Yang Youcai looked at the five big and three rough, but in fact there were some rough and thin. He must have guessed that he was here and deliberately shouted to himself. He smiled and said to Liu Yao: "You are a good partner. I don't think he will continue to be a good partner."
The general is here, I will ask him to report to the Chengdu government office later."
Seeing that his old partner fell in the prince's eye, Liu Yao was also happy, and immediately agreed on behalf of Yang Youcai. The crowd gradually approached, and there was no queue among the densely packed campers. After hundreds of miles, they were already scattered. Jianchang
The conditions there are obviously not that good. The clothes of the campers are in tatters, but they are not hungry. It seems that they are full of food. Most of the people walking in front are young and strong, and they all have a trace of expectation and nervousness at this moment.
Looking at Chengdu.
“This is Chengdu, it’s so big!”
"It's so shabby, almost the same as Jianchang..."
"With the war in chaos, who has the energy to repair the city wall?"
There were constant whispers in the crowd. Zhu Cixuan gestured to Liu Yao and Liu Yao nodded. Several trumpets sounded at the top of the city. The crowd gradually became quiet and looked at the tower in a daze. Zhu Cixuan strode forward and was about to speak.
Yang Youcai had already shouted: "Your Highness has arrived, kneel down!"
When the campers heard this, they didn't dare to look anymore and knelt down in confusion. Zhu Cixuan was stunned for a moment. After all, he came from a later generation and was not so serious about the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. He really didn't expect this. Looking at Yang Youcai with a smile, Zhu Cixuan said
: "Without courtesy, I am safe. As you all know, the King of Shu once intended to run Sichuan, but Sun Kewang made a rebellion and disrupted the King of Shu's plan. I deeply regret this. If the King of Shu could have had a few years, he would have been in Sichuan
With deep cultivation and deep cultivation, how can today's Ming Dynasty only have the incomplete land of three provinces? It is a pity that the King of Shu is now heavily involved in military affairs and can no longer escape. Therefore, after discussing with the King of Shu, I received the permission of my father to personally
Come to Chengdu to take charge of the overall situation, run Sichuan, and rebuild the Kingdom of Abundance." Under the city, there was a commotion among the crowd. Everyone knew that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was not good, but when these words came from the mouth of a prince, the meaning was completely different. Wang Qilong and others also twisted uneasily.
Moving their bodies, they knew what Zhu Cixuan said, but they never thought that Zhu Cixuan would say this to the campers.
"I am a commoner in Huaiyou. I was pushed by my subordinates and had to raise troops to quell the rebellion." Zhu Cixuan suddenly quoted a quote from Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in his petition to Yuan Dynasty, "I, Emperor Gao, Taizu of Ming Dynasty, was born in a poor family and may not be as good as you.
The weak Song Dynasty could not defend itself, so the land of China was destroyed and barbarians took over. Emperor Taizu and Gao raised troops to drive out the Tartars and rebuild China, and the Ming Dynasty was passed down to the world today. It is hateful that the slaves have risen again, and they are eyeing China, and they are eager to devour China.
Revealed. Jiashen Heavenly Change, Wu Sangui allowed slaves to enter the pass, and China was in extreme danger!" Zhu Cixuan's tone became more and more serious, "Yangzhou, Jiading, Guangzhou... The Tatars slaughtered my people, enslaved my people, shaved their hair, tied them in braids, and wore barbarian clothes.
Zuo Zhen, our glorious China is full of fishy smell, and under the rule of the Tatars, they lead the beasts to eat people, and people will eat each other, which is called the destruction of the world!"
Zhu Cixuan sneered: "I am not afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. No matter whether it is King Chuang or King Daxi, as long as the Han people win the world, then the power of the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted. My Zhu family is struggling to forage in the fields and have to be supported by the people.
For more than two hundred years, the legacy of Emperor Gao has been profound, and there is nothing that cannot be left behind." The crowd was in an uproar, and Wang Qilong and others' legs trembled when they heard it. Prince, you really dare to say this. "Without the Tatars, the Ming Dynasty would have perished.
But now it is no longer a fight among us Han people, the Tatars are coming again, the scene on Yashan will reappear again, the tragedy of China overthrowing and the destruction of the world is right in front of us!" Zhu Cixuan shouted.
"Before leaving Kunming, my grandmother and mother were worried about me. They said that I was still in my prime years and war should be a matter for adults. They asked me to study in the palace with peace of mind, but I refused.
Over the past decade or so, countless heroic sons and daughters of China have refused to be humiliated by foreigners, risen up to resist, and looked forward to death. I wonder if you have heard of Xia Wanchun? At the age of fourteen, he resolutely joined the army to resist the Tatars, and at the age of seventeen, he died generously. He was not afraid of death.
, I am the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future king and father, and I must not be afraid of death. It is my unshirkable responsibility to fight against the Tartars and restore China!" Zhu Cixuan was impassioned, and Wang Qilong and others were also enthusiastic, and looked at Zhu Cixuan even more enthusiastically. Under the city,
The campers were also impressed by Zhu Cixuan's momentum and looked solemn.
"Although Chu has three households, Chu will definitely destroy Qin!" Zhu Cixuan continued, "Don't look at the arrogance of the Tatars now. They are full of blood debts, full of crimes, and the brutality of their harsh regime is more than a hundred times better than that of the Qin Dynasty. What happened to the Qin Dynasty back then, the Tatars will definitely
It will be the same. The Ming Dynasty is now in decline, yes, but a single spark can start a prairie fire. I firmly believe that as long as our banner of the Ming Dynasty remains, as long as our confidence in restoring China remains, the Chinese people under the Tatar rule will surely succeed one after another.
, I will follow you to the death and recreate the grand occasion when Taizu Gao Emperor expelled Bao Yuan! I have never doubted the bloody nature of China!" Wang Qilong's eyes filled with excitement, his chest was heaving, and the villagers were also excited, wishing they could mention it immediately.
Go into battle with a knife and find a Tatar to fight.
"Everyone, today between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is no longer a battle for dynasty replacement that has occurred for thousands of years, but a battle for the survival of Chinese civilization. It is a counterattack against the invasion of China by ignorant and backward barbarian people! Our battle,
It is not only for the Ming Dynasty, but also for the ethnic group of China. What is an ethnic group? The same blood, the same writing, and the same clothes. What is China? The beauty of clothes and seals is Hua, and the greatness of etiquette is Xia. Clothes, etiquette, writing, civilization,
This is the foundation of our Chinese inheritance that has lasted for thousands of years. If the Ming Dynasty dies, you may be able to bend your knees and live under the rule of the Tatars. But from now on, you will wear barbarian clothes, shave your hair and tie braids, and become barbarians. Are you willing?
?”
"I don't want to!" Wang Qilong raised his arms and shouted.
"I don't want to!" Liu Yao and others also replied loudly.
"I don't want to!" The originally chaotic campers suddenly felt blessed and shouted together.
"I don't want to. I am young, but I also know the integrity of my Han family. Wealth and honor cannot be licentious, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be surrendered! If one day, the Tatars invade Sichuan and attack the gate of Chengdu.
, I would rather die on the spot than live in this world dragging my hair!" Zhu Cixuan was extremely excited and shouted, "Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"
"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"
"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"
…
There was a chorus of cries from above and below the city. Zhu Cixuan was very pleased. Those who were still willing to follow the Ming Dynasty were resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts. As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, they would not give up.
"I won't give up." Zhu Cixuan thought silently, and after everyone calmed down, he continued, "Many people said that there is no need to tell you these things, and there is no need to talk about the rise and fall of the people with you. They think you don't understand, and they think you are illiterate.
, are not worthy of knowing the righteousness." Zhu Cixuan snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Where are most of these people who look down on you now? Under the rule of the Tatars, they dragged their braids to cheer for the Tatars and aided the tyranny. The Tatars were so kind to them.
At that time, they dared to curse insinuatingly, and the Tatars took out their knives and glared at them. They immediately retreated, saying that the Ming Dynasty was dead, that the slave chief Fulin was a born saint, and that it was destiny to destroy the Qing Dynasty...
Bah, what right do these boneless traitor scum have to talk nonsense, and how do they have the right to look down on us strong-willed Han men?"
"So, I want to say these words today. If you don't say them out, it will be stuck in your throat and you will not spit them out. You will all be the seeds of restoring China in the future. I firmly believe that various talents will come out among you. There will be
There are soldiers who wear strong armor, craftsmen who make equipment, masters who teach, and farmers who work hard... You are the cornerstone of China's continuous reproduction to this day, and you are nobler than those weak-minded traitors.
There are many more, and they are much more important. Anyone who says that you should be confused and confused about the righteousness is just trying to show off the ugliness of the captives, and is digging for the foundation of China!" Zhu Cixuan's words made the campers unconscious.
Straightening his chest, His Highness said that they are very important. They are not untouchables whose lives are as low as grass. They are the foundation of China. At this moment, the campers felt an emotion surging and sublimating, a sense of mission and responsibility.
Born from this.
"From the moment you step into the gate of Chengdu, you are no longer a soldier in the military camp." Zhu Cixuan continued, "I have given each of you the status of a free citizen. Every young man can
Thirty acres of land will be obtained around Chengdu, and for those with families, an additional fifteen acres will be added."
There was a sound of breathing in the city, and the campers were inexplicably surprised. They thought that going from Jianchang to Chengdu was just going from one prison to another, and they didn't expect much. After struggling in the military camp for several years, they were self-sufficient with men farming and women weaving.
I have longed for the life of a yeoman farmer, has this fulfilled my wish?
"I only grant you the right to use these fields. You can cultivate them, but they cannot transfer them. Chengdu Prefecture currently does not allow land sales." Zhu Cixuan added that he did not want to see the emergence of the rentier class of landlords again, so he simply
Just take advantage of the current war that has broken the original social order and directly set down the rules. If you don't break it, you can't establish it. If you don't break it, you can establish it. If you don't take the opportunity to bring in some private goods from later generations, Zhu Cixuan will have traveled through time in vain.
"Your Highness is benevolent!"
The villagers don't have much objection to Zhu Cixuan's regulations. They are now focused on enclosing and buying and selling land. Who is willing to sell land if they have nothing to do?
"Your Highness, I don't know how to farm, but I am a blacksmith. Can I continue to blacksmith?" A guard from the city suddenly asked.
"Of course!" Zhu Cixuan said with a smile, "If you don't know how to farm, remember to mention it when you register later. I will arrange a living for you based on your skills."
Seeing that the campers were eager to enter the city, Zhu Cixuan said no more, told Liu Yao to wait a few words, waved to the bottom of the city, and turned to leave.
The campers knelt down to see each other off again under Yang Youcai's reminder, and this time they were much more orderly. Zhu Cixuan suddenly came back again, looked at the campers kneeling together, and said: "From now on, if you don't sacrifice to heaven, the imperial meeting will wait for important events."
In some circumstances, there is no need to kneel down, just bow." After all, he was from a later generation, and he was still not used to the etiquette of kneeling at every turn. Besides, this was not in line with his intention to inspire people.
What was originally just a few words of encouragement was turned into an impromptu speech by Zhu Cixuan. As the campers gradually spread across the Chengdu Plain, the theme of this speech also spread. "The battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was not about the change of dynasties, but the change of dynasties.
The argument of "War of Civilizations" was widely circulated and caused considerable turmoil under the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but this was beyond what Zhu Cixuan could have expected at this moment. This chapter has been completed!
