The next day, Zhu Biao led Liu Jin back to the palace, left Quan Xu behind, and asked him to show Mu Ying the three-stage attack.

Now is the time of the court meeting, Zhu Biao arrived at the gate of the Fengtian Palace, someone entered the palace to report, and after a while, a messenger eunuch came out and shouted: "General Xuantiance enters the hall!" ”

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth were slightly raised, in fact, he could be a prince or a general of Tiance, but these two identities were completely different.

As soon as Zhu Biao stroked his arm armor, he stepped directly into the hall, and the golden-red iron armor exuded a compelling majesty under the sunlight.

When Zhu Biao stepped into the Fengtian Palace, the officials at the end all bowed slightly and clenched their fists, and with the crisp sound of the iron armor rubbing, everyone's attention was attracted.

Zhu Biao walked past Li Shanchang and Xu Da to the front of the palace, knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general will see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty Jin'an!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was dressed in a vermilion dragon robe, said with a smile: "Our Tiance general is back, but there is something to report!" ”

Zhu Biao said: "Back to Your Majesty, my Ming 200,000 army is ready to go, vowing to recover the lost territory, and the minister has come to ask Your Majesty to go out on the holy decree!" ”

Prime Minister Li Shanchang came out of the crowd and said: "General Tiance is talented and intelligent, and he is an all-round talent, and now it is my Ming fortune to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun for my Ming Dynasty, and I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to go on the expedition!" ”

Xu Da also said: "The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are still eyeing Shuntianfu, and the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has gathered 100,000 iron horses to set foot in Yingzhou, and the minister thinks that he should also send troops quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to the opinions of both the military and the government, and then directly ordered: "Since this is the case, then the swearing-in ceremony will be held in three days, and then General Tiance will lead the army!" ”

Zhu Biao solemnly bowed his head to indicate that he had accepted the order, and then the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came out of the queue and asked to prepare the sacrificial ceremony before the expedition.

The major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, the power of sacrifice has been passed down to the present, not only to sacrifice to the emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and gods, but also to sacrifice the tooth flag, but also to sacrifice the six Xu, build the altar, open the curtain, set up the flag, the god position, dig the wall and bury the stumbling.

These are irresistible, Zhu Yuanzhang can only agree, and instruct the Ministry of Rites to prepare immediately.

Then he went down, Zhu Biao didn't talk to the ministers, and went directly to the imperial study.

Zhu Biao saw his father halfway through, sitting in a gazebo with a frown.

Zhu Biao walked up with a smile and said, "Why are you still sad, aren't you worried about your son?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "Worry about fart, you don't know how troublesome the sacrifice is, and we have to go in person, don't think about resting these days." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Then who made you the king of a country, how can others have the qualifications to worship the emperor and queen of earth." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son with a relaxed face and said, "You are the prince and the general of the unified army, do you think you can run away?" The Emperor Tianhou doesn't need you to sacrifice now, but don't you have to sacrifice to the ancestors, the tooth banner, the six flags, and the gods of war? ”

Zhu Biao had a smile on his face, he thought that these were all sacrifices to the emperor!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his son and said: "Go, change into light clothes, or you won't be able to stay up on the expedition, you will go with me to kowtow to your ancestors in the afternoon, and go to the Purple Mountain to worship tomorrow." ”

Zhu Biao reluctantly returned to the East Palace, and immediately went to Kunning Palace to meet his mother after changing his clothes, and listened to his mother's instructions in a daze, and returned to the East Palace with the clothes made by Queen Ma with a stitch and a thread.

Since then, there has been no rest, the sacrificial ceremony is solemn and cumbersome, and there can be no mistakes, the father and son of the Zhu family are tired enough.

Finally came to the day of the oath to go out, Zhu Yuanzhang did not come, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did come, Zhu Biao stood on a solid high platform, looking down on the endless sea of people.

Zhu Biao's fatigue in the past few days was swept away, his blood was surging, and he felt that his whole body was swelling, as if his body was much taller out of thin air.

He didn't know what mood he was in now, he just greedily looked at the neat military formation below, the sound of flags rattling and people shouting and neighing was endless!

Zhu Biao slowly exhaled a breath, his face calmed down, his right hand held the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he looked up at the vast sky, but there was a strange touch in his heart.

Zhu Biao felt that the air was filled with a strange smell, it was a very special smell, not the smell of sweat, not the smell of livestock manure, nor the smell of gunpowder burning, but it was inexplicably sour.

Zhu Biao calmed down, violently pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed obliquely at the sky, and with the shouts of the captains, the entire school field could only hear the rustling of flags blown by the wind and the neighing of horses.

Zhu Biao took two steps forward and walked to the edge of the high platform, looking at the quiet army with a calm face, and the ministers below were all scared, for fear that he would fall, which would be a big joke.

Zhu Biao laughed with satisfaction, and then began to shout out loudly the Northern Expedition text: "Since ancient times, emperors have been in the world, all of them have been in China to control Yidi, and Yidi has lived outside to serve China, and I have not heard of Yidi living in China and controlling the world." Since the Song Zuo tilted, the north of the Yuan Dynasty was dominated in China, within the four seas, and he did not surrender! ”

"My emperor is clothed, rose up to fight, swept the Central Plains and the northern expedition to Yidi, drove out Hulu, restored China, established the Chen Ji, relieved the people, established the Ming Dynasty, and restored the rivers and mountains of my Han people!"

"Now Beiyi still occupies my homeland in China, and the heavens and people are angry, and the general, as the son of the royal family, is endowed by the mandate of heaven to go north to Yidi, and vows to crusade against the ministers and recover the old land, and the emperor and the queen of heaven are the witnesses to vent the anger of people and gods!"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he silently waited for his will to spread throughout the army, and the soldiers who could hear his voice would convey his words down level by level, of course, in fact, his words were not for the soldiers to hear, and they did not have the ability to understand.

Before the expedition, the method of killing the enemy and material rewards for the soldiers had already been formulated, and the war mobilization was only a supplement, and it would not work without these actual rewards.

Before going to battle, the officers of each military camp will explain to their subordinates how to reward them, for example, what is the reward for the first person to storm the wall; What is the reward for cutting off the head of an enemy; What are the rewards for those who cut off the heads of enemy generals, etc.

These systems of rewards and punishments are posted throughout the barracks in clear terms to ensure that every soldier knows before going on the expedition.

After a while, some people in the army began to take the lead in shouting: "Daming Wansheng!" Daming Wansheng! Daming Wansheng! ”

As the atmosphere grew, the people shouting for victory increased from thousands to tens of thousands, and then to 200,000 people in the whole army shouted in unison!

Zhu Biao tightly pursed the corners of his upturned mouth, closed his eyes and listened to a very penetrating sound, 200,000 people shouted in unison, and he felt that his heart was trembling.

Zhu Biao opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, Lan Yu climbed onto the high platform and waved a dragon flag with clear characters!
