There is a lot of space in the martial arts arena, and there are many people today.

It's hard for everyone to hear the voice, but that doesn't make Zhu feel embarrassed.

With a slight movement of his mind, a large horn appeared in his hand.

Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty took a step forward and raised the loudspeaker in his hand.

"Ming soldiers, you have worked hard."

The soldiers had already seen the emperor standing on the platform.

Hearing the emperor's personal lecture, they all stood straight.

"It's not hard, we are willing to shed the last drop of blood for Daming, long live the emperor."

Zhu Youzhen, who is accustomed to seeing the National Day military parade, feels a little confused at this time, and they should say that they serve the people.

After a moment of confusion, Zhu Youzhen almost laughed.

I have been too deep into the play, and now I am Daming, where did I come from the word serving the people.

"Soldiers, now you are the backbone of my Ming Dynasty.

The time has come for us to defend together.

In the past, we had disagreements and rebellion, but we were a family, and we were all sons and daughters of China.

Starting from our ancestor Hongwu, we expelled foreign enemies and once again established a unified dynasty of China.

The Ming Dynasty has been stable for about two hundred years, but now the Ming Dynasty is once again in great crisis.

Not only are there captives eyeing the East, but the country is also torn apart.

Zhang Xianzhong occupies Bashu and the Northwest Central Plains, all of which are still in the hands of Yu Kou.

Once the eastern captives invade, we will fight our own battles, how to defend against them.

The invasion of the East has caused huge losses to the Ming Dynasty and caused great disasters to the people.

1626

Nurhachi invaded Ningyuan.

Year 1629

Huang Taiji led the main force to the city of Jingshi.

Year 1632

Capture Chen Bing Zhangjiakou in the east.

Year 1636

Exiled to the east into the Central Plains.

Year 1638

Dolgon re-entered the Central Plains.

Year 1642

Abatai plundered the Central Plains of our country.

Every invasion of the Eastern Captivity was a bloody lesson, and it caused great disasters to China.

Not only did they rob us of our money, food, and livestock.

and they have taken our brothers captive to them as slaves, and plundered our sisters for their pleasure.

Now they're coming again!

Soldiers, each of us has parents, siblings, and even children.

Shall we turn a blind eye and let these wolves do whatever they want?

At that time, transportation and communication were not developed, and information was very closed.

Ordinary people are generally unaware of these major foreign invasions.

Although some of the people present had heard about it, they didn't know exactly what happened, and most of them were in the gate.

Today, when I heard their emperor tell it himself, the anger of all the soldiers was aroused by the emperor.

They are all bloody men, and they can't wait to go into battle immediately and kill all those damned aliens.

All the soldiers raised their weapons and roared:

"No, we must not let the Eastern Kidnapper act recklessly, please send an edict to the emperor.

"We're going to take the blood and pay the debt, we're going to rob their sisters, kill their families, and scrape these damned alien ...... alive"

Zhu Youzhen's words completely aroused public anger.

Seeing the high morale and bloodiness of the soldiers, Li Yanhong's daughter, Qi Jiguang and Aqing, nodded frequently.

Zhu Youzhen was also very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers, he raised his hands high, signaling the soldiers to be quiet.

The martial arts arena that was still chaotic just now instantly quieted down after Zhu Youzhen signaled.

"Soldiers, if there is discord internally, they will stab us in the back when we attack the Eastern Captivity.

In order to completely crack down on the captives and protect our homeland, the interior must be swept away and the whole country must be unified.

And you are a sharp knife of my Ming Dynasty to unify the whole country, you will also be my heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the people will not forget you, and the Ming Dynasty will not forget you.

If you sweep away the Liukou, your merits will forever be recorded in the merit book of the Ming Dynasty and will be immortal.

I can also guarantee that as long as you are brave enough to kill the enemy, the military salary will be raised to thirty taels of silver, and it will be paid once every seven days, and there will be no delay.

After the reunification of the country, each of your families will have their own land, all exempt from tax.

Of course, there are rewards and punishments.

If someone is found to be a deserter who is greedy for life and fear of death, or who does not contribute to the work, he will be expelled from the army and will be punished on the spot in time of war.

Are you still willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty and stain the battlefield with blood for your brothers and sisters and children from being bullied by foreign races? ”

"Tell me out loud!"

Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, an earth-shattering shout broke out in the martial arts arena in an instant:

"The emperor can rest assured, we are willing to stain the battlefield with the blood of our comrades for the Ming Dynasty, for our families, and for our comrades, and shed the last drop of blood."

"As long as the family is healthy, the country is stable and prosperous, and the head has a big scar, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Long live the emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

……

The morale and enthusiasm of the soldiers made Zhu Youzhen's eyes feel a little red.

With such good soldiers, why can't Chongzhen inspire their morale.

When I thought about it again, I was relieved that military salaries were not only exploited at various levels, but also had serious delays, and many soldiers could not receive their salaries for a long time.

At that time, the Donglin Party was in the way, the civil official group was powerful, and the military generals were bullied everywhere, and they couldn't raise their heads in front of these civilian officials.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no shortage of good generals, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, Sun Chengzong, and so on

(Yuan Chonghuan doesn't say it, his merits and demerits, it is difficult to conclude now, if Mao Wenlong does not die, the Eastern Captivity will definitely be delayed for many years before he can enter the customs, maybe he will not be able to enter the customs at all)

Their death or murder in battle has a lot to do with those civil officials and eunuchs.

Although Chongzhen was suspicious, he did not directly attack the general, as if the general only killed one Yuan Chonghuan.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military salary of ordinary soldiers was converted into silver, which was only eighteen taels.

Coupled with layers of exploitation, the maximum amount of money in hand is less than ten taels, which is a year's income.

Today, the emperor not only promised to increase the military salary to thirty taels of silver, but also sent it directly to them.

And it was issued once every seven days, and the fields were also distributed to them, and all taxes were exempted.

Since then, where are there still soldiers who are unwilling to fight for the Ming Dynasty (their brains have just been washed)

The atmosphere at the scene far exceeded Zhu Youzhen's expectations, not to mention the consternation of Li Yan and Qi Jiguang.

After reacting, Li Yan stepped forward and asked:

"Your Majesty, when are we going to send troops?"

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a while:

"In three days, you will send troops to Changping, and then I will send another general to help you."

"Yes, thank you for your trust."

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, reached out and patted Li Yan on the shoulder:

"There is a long way to go, I hope that you and your wife will succeed and triumph as soon as possible, and after collecting the troops, go to the treasury to withdraw three million taels of silver, and then stimulate the morale of the soldiers."

"Ah...... How can there be so much silver in the treasury, the emperor should hold it off. ”

As the first strategist under Li Zicheng.

Li Yan had heard that Emperor Chongzhen was very poor.

How could it be possible to allocate three million taels of silver at once.
