Zhu Cihong ascended the towering Dianjiang platform, faced the filial piety tomb of Shenlie Mountain in the north, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and then turned around and read out the "Essay on Asking for Thieves" to the military and civilians:

"My ancestor Hongwu swept away the people, recovered the Central Plains, opened a three-hundred-year-old Piji, and created hundreds of millions of surnames."

"This Cheng has been a prosperous lord for three generations, but unfortunately when I ascended the throne, the rampant thieves and traitors opened the door to the change of the Beijing Division, in a vain attempt to usurp my dynasty and steal the artifact!"

"More than 1,000 thieves killed loyal ministers, the clan was disabled, more than 10,000 relatives died, and the people were also miserable! At this time, the earth cracked and the sky collapsed, the mountains withered and the sea dried up, such a traitor, I don't share the hatred of the sky! ”

"At this time, I will lead millions of troops, drive the expedition in person, clear the Middle Earth, restore the righteousness, make the sun and the moon shine again, and rebuild the rivers and mountains!"

From ancient times to the present, the expedition is famous for its emphasis on teachers, and Zhu Cihong's essay on thieves stands on the commanding heights of morality, exposing Li Zicheng's crimes of roasting and plundering hundreds of officials, clans, and ordinary people one by one, packaging the Ming army as a righteous army, and using the majority of public opinion to strangle Li Zicheng's retreat.

Li Zicheng in history also lost the hearts of the people because of the roasting and plundering, and fled all the way back to Beijing after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and then fled to his hometown in Shaanxi, and was chased all the way to the base in Huguang by the Qing army, but no one was willing to respond to him, and it was even rumored that Li Zicheng was knocked to death by two peasants with a hoe.

In order to save Chongzhen's face, Zhu Cihong wrote the thief trapping the Beijing master when he ascended the throne when he ascended the throne, and beautified the clan and ministers who were roasted to death, arousing the indignation of the corporal in the world.

Of course, he also boasted that he commanded millions of troops!

At the end of the oath, the drums sounded in unison, and in the grand martial arts dance music, the 300,000 troops sang "Qing Haiyu" in unison.

"Draw the sword from the Huai soil, set the horse and set the Huan District, the king opens the heavens, the treasure calendar should be dry, the martial arts are Wenmo, and the dragon and tiger are at the beginning of the business."

"The general's star surrounds Ben, the warrior moon bends the arc, chooses to ride the Southern Chu, forms a formation under the Eastern Wu, crosses Shu to drive Hu, and the mountains and rivers of the emperor live!"

The song resounded in the sky, flying in the wind, Zhu Cihong and the officials felt such a shocking power, they all sang involuntarily, and even the emperor sang solemnly.

Han family music, since the Zhou Dynasty has been popular, the Ming Dynasty whether it is the last dynasty or a banquet, all need to play music, whether it is literary music or martial music, there are fixed more than a dozen, military officials can sing, even ordinary people will hum a few.

At the end of the song, Zhu Cihong looked at the endless iron flow below, the soldiers in neat formation, his heart was agitated, he picked up the big red cloak, suddenly drew his sword and pointed obliquely at the sky, and shouted at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers below: "Daming Wansheng!" ”

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

.......

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, three fierce horns sounded in a row, and the music played "The Song of the Emperor", and the military parade officially began!

The first to be inspected was the Imperial Guards, also known as the Brave Guard Battalion.

There is no military branch of the Imperial Forest Army in real history, throughout the twenty-four history, there is no record of the Imperial Forest Army, people just call the Emperor's Praetorian Guard popularly known as the Imperial Forest Army, similar to only the Yulin Army during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there were also left and right Yulin Army in the Tang Dynasty.

When Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, he renamed the Yongwei Battalion as the Imperial Forest Army, and he wanted to make this legendary Imperial Forest Army truly well-equipped, able to fight well, and conquer everything!

A huge flag as high as two zhang appeared in front of everyone's eyes, pulled by chariot, this is the dragon flag of the Royal Forest Army, and it is also the highest and largest flag of the whole army, the flag is one zhang, the golden silk is the edge, the bright red flag is embroidered with dragon ornaments, hunting and flying in the wind.

In front of the Imperial Forest Army, Xu Sheng's face was full of seriousness, and he shouted coldly: "Get on the bayonet!" ”

In the sound of a clang, the cold light shone, and the sharp three-edged bayonets glittered in the sunlight, indicating the sharpness of the Imperial Guards.

"Shoulders!"

Xu Sheng shouted, and there was another neat metal rattle.

"Forward!"

5,000 Imperial Forest soldiers were dressed in fresh armor, each holding a three-edged bayonet rifle in hand, diagonally hugging his chest, and walking in unison across the front of the three armies.

When passing through the Dianjiang platform, the Imperial Forest Army was all replaced by a positive step, and the musket also became a posture of diagonally raising forward, the team was neat, the movements were unified, and the footsteps were sonorous and powerful, converging into a neat marching sound.

When passing by Dianjiangtai, Xu Sheng faced Zhu Cihong with a side face, and said loudly: "Long live my emperor!" ”

The five thousand Imperial Guards shouted in unison: "Hurray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

Zhu Cihong drew his sword and saluted them!

The second to enter was the Tianwu Army, with one-color helmets, one-color armor, one-color and Ding rifles, almost the world of armor, the sea of red, they stepped on the earth, making a neat roar.

The infantry phalanx of the Tianwu Army marched forward in a big way, stepping on the ground neatly, and everyone put the Heding rifle on their left shoulder, and shook their right arm vigorously, and the arm was strong.

When passing by Dianjiangtai, Sun Yingyuan, the marquis of Jingwu, who led the army, also faced Zhu Cihong and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”

The faces of the Tianwu soldiers were full of excited red light, and the whole army shouted three times in a row: "Long live!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

Long live the sound resounded through the sky, followed by the Jingwu Army, followed by the Tianxiong Army, the Dingwu Army, and the Anwu Army.

The majestic phalanx marched, the muffled sound of military boots stepping on the ground, knocking on everyone's heart, that kind of power, people feel shocked, this kind of power, people feel excited!

The flags in the field are like the sea, the infantry, cavalry, artillery, their armor is bright, the military appearance is neat, the pace is the same, with loud slogans, with a solemn momentum, every step, like a mountain shaking, the momentum is extraordinary, the envoys of the countries are shocked.

Behind the infantry phalanx, the Dragon Warrior Army, which was composed entirely of cavalry, entered.

When the horse team was neat, fully armed, armed with fire dragon spears, and wearing dark masks, the scene was even more ablaze.

The iron armor is like a tide, the iron horses are like a stream, and the momentum of tens of thousands of dragon warriors made everyone present even more excited.

On the viewing platform, among the hundreds of officials, Lu Xiangsheng, who had seen the Eight Banners Cavalry, couldn't help but sigh: "Who can stop such an iron horse?" ”

The last to appear is the heavy weapon of the country, the Shenwu Army!

A series of firearms such as Hongyi cannons, Dongfeng rockets, thunder chariots, and fire dragons out of the water are either carried by people or loaded by vehicles, dragged by war horses, and passed in front of the point in turn.

There are many firearms present and everyone at the scene doesn't know each other at all, but when everyone sees the familiar Hongyi cannon, they know that this army is not simple, such a large-caliber Hongyi cannon, the physique is so big, it is very awesome at first glance!

And most importantly, there are too many!

With all kinds of Hongyi cannons alone, the Shenwu Army pulled out almost five hundred!

The Tianwu Army is good at using firearms, and everyone has long known it, but there are not many opportunities for everyone to see these weapons in ordinary times, and when these scary-looking artillery and rockets pass in front of them, it has aroused great interest among many people.

Some people stood up and watched, and at the same time there was a lot of discussion, some people who understood explained to others, and some people who didn't understand were guessing wildly, anyway, whether they understood it or not, what they said was very awesome!

In the last part of the parade, the Shenwu Army performed a salvo of thousands of cannons on the spot, and in an instant, the cannon roared, resounding through the sky, and the scene was huge and spectacular!

The envoys of various countries present were all impressed by the strong strength of the Ming army, especially those foreign devils who were ready to move, and several vassal states whose positions were wavering, and they were even more full of awe for the Ming Dynasty.

The Tianwu military parade, which lasted for more than two hours, finally came to a successful conclusion, and the armies still returned to their original places as they had entered before.

On the platform, Zhu Cihong's real arms shouted, shouting: "Soldiers, in this Northern Expedition, I want you to be like thunder, with great strength, to completely defeat those traitors who have brought disaster to the country and the people!" ”

"You are the strongest elite in the world! Strike fear into the hearts of all enemies! Let the world witness your prestige! ”

"I, I will be with you in person!"

"I'm Daming, Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

In the Great Sect Field, there was a sudden echo like a landslide and tsunami, not only the 300,000 troops shouted, but even the surrounding people were desperately shouting, and the waves were higher and higher.

Listening to the overwhelming sound, the hundreds of officials, envoys from various countries, gentry and businessmen on the viewing platform were all dumbfounded, not to mention the Emperor Chongzhen, who had never seen the world, where had he seen this vast power?

Chongzhen was already excited with tears, under the infection of this scene, he even wanted to take off his dragon robe, integrate into the army, be a pawn, go into battle to kill the enemy, and serve the emperor.

"The fortune of heaven pushes and moves, Wang Shibei discusses Yanji, the centennial rites and music are revived, and when the four seas celebrate the festival, in addition to tyranny, soothe the sores, Mo Nan competes to see the old prestige, the king Shengde Rong surrenders, and the three are dressed and worship the jade!"

In the martial dance song of "The Song of Pingyoudu", 300,000 troops set off on the Northern Expedition, a banner like the sea, and the crowd was boundless, as if it was going to spread the whole land.

On the first day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Wu of the Great Ming Dynasty paraded on Shenlie Mountain, with 300,000 soldiers and horses, vast and endless, the royal driver personally marched, crusaded against the pseudo-Shun, and recovered the Central Plains!
