15. Heroic souls

In the fourteenth year of Yuan Zhizheng, 1354 A.D., July 2, Jinling.

The eyes of summer are fierce and gorgeous. As soon as he poked his head out of the dawn clouds, Jinling City seemed to be bathed in golden light.

At this time in the past, the small traders in Jinling City, the workers at the docks, and the Liba who poured night incense were the time to walk the streets and alleys.

But now, there are almost no people on the streets of Jinling City, but where does the sound of the tsunami come from?

Due north, under the ancient city wall of Jinling, on both sides of the wide road, behind the pacesetters of the Dingyuan Army standing like javelins, the people of Jinling are crowded and can't see the end at a glance.

It seems that the whole Jinling City is here, everyone has a different brilliance on their faces, and the older man looks at the gatehouse at the highest part of the city wall, with excitement in his eyes that does not match his age.

The young man looked at the city gate, his eyes full of longing and excitement.

And the children who sit on the shoulders of their fathers and brothers are innocently looking up at the sun.

The plaque at the gate of the city has a new look, and the old plaque has not been lost.

Now, instead of it, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance break through the three big characters in the sky, the China Gate.

On the city wall, Zhu Wuyi shot in uniform. The golden armor shone brightly under the eyes, making it impossible to look directly, and on his head was a dragon umbrella with teeth and claws, looking from afar, it looked like he had a five-clawed golden dragon on his head.

At this moment, no one could see Zhu Wu's expression clearly, and his whole person seemed to be wrapped in a kind of brilliance.

Even he couldn't see himself clearly, the bright yellow flag, hundreds of thousands of people watching the ceremony, and those proud soldiers.

Everything was like a dream.

Behind him, the Wenchen generals of the Dingyuan Army, in the shadow of the five-clawed golden dragon, had fanaticism on their faces and looked excited, especially the generals.

Not far away, the guests who watched the ceremony were dark in different colors.

Zhu Chongba stared at the five-clawed golden dragon on Zhu Wu's head, secretly clenched his fists, and slowly let go. There is obsession, appreciation, yearning, and a strong fighting spirit in the eyes.

In his heart, he read the words that only he could hear.

Big husband, when it is.

Mr. Guan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Shouhui's envoy was a civil official, looking at the glorious atmosphere, and fell into intoxication.

Fujian's most famous pirate leader, Fang Guozhen's envoy, seemed to be intimidated, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three cannon shots.

A burst of neat footsteps suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, as dense and rapid as a drumbeat.

What happened, the eyes of countless people looked over at the same time.

To the west, where the pagoda used to be the temple, a tall stone monument was erected, covered with a fluttering red cloth.

Behind the stele, on the neat stone road, hundreds of Dingyuan soldiers and soldiers, stepping on neat footsteps, hundreds of people are like one person, every movement on the body is full of beauty, under the guidance of a blood-red flag, slowly come out.

"Stand!"

Bang!

The footsteps of hundreds of people actually made a roar of tens of millions of people, and these Dingyuan soldiers stood upright in front of the stone monument like swords.

"Today, I want to ignite the martial arts, the spirit of civilization, and the barbaric physique of China. Deceased kings, be with me! ”

Zhu Wu looked in the direction of the stone tablet, his face resolute.

On the city wall, the guests who watched the ceremony, whether it was the envoys of various forces or the local gentry who were forcibly brought to the city, the great Confucian was all earthy.

There are only a few hundred people, and the power brought by them is indeed a thousand troops.

Zhu Wu's soldiers, how could they do this?

Especially the emissaries of the various forces, they are also rolled out of the pile of dead people, and they know what kind of soldiers are the most terrifying.

The most terrifying thing is not the beast-like soldiers, nor the soldiers who wear armor and are armed to the teeth.

Rather, the silent, only the soldiers who obey orders.

Stampede, stomp!

The fiery red war horse galloped over, under the city wall, facing the direction of Zhu Wu, the front hooves of the war horse were in the air, and the athletes were heroic immediately.

Swish!

The sword is unsheathed.

The long and narrow blade was attached to the young man's face, and Lan Yu's eyes were full of excitement, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"King!" Lan Yu let out the most powerful roar from his chest, "Troops under review, ready." Hero Monument, ready! ”

Zhu Wu looked at the figure under the city, and the stubborn young man in Haozhou that day came to his mind, and smiled.

Then, suddenly, with a powerful wave of his hand.

He didn't say anything, and he seemed to say everything.

"Whoa!" Under the city, Lan Yu released his life and shouted, turned the horse's head, and under the stone tablet, in the distance of the black pressure like a cloud, the horse galloped.

"Great King's Order, prepare!"

No one knew what to prepare, the heavens and the earth were silent, and everyone's eyes were on the city.

"Three years ago!"

Suddenly, Zhu Wu's voice appeared in the heavens and the earth, low and a little hoarse.

Zhu Wu stood at the head of the city, with two speaker-like amplified microphones in front of him, so that his voice could be transmitted far away.

"Three years ago, I was in Haozhou, and it was snowing heavily and windy that day, and I was curled up like a dog in the corner of the city wall.

At that time, I had not eaten for three days, and I did not even have the strength to walk, so I could only pray to God in the wind and snow not to freeze to death.

Later, the wind and snow became colder and colder, and I lost feeling in my hands and feet, and I knew that I could not pray anymore, because God could not hear.

I struggled to my feet and ran aimlessly forward, trying to find a warm place.

But it didn't take long for my eyes to go dark and I fainted! ”

The people, there were some surprises, the people were puzzled, the guests were puzzled, and the soldiers seemed to think of themselves.

Why do you say these things on a day of great joy?

But Zhu Wu's voice continued, as if telling a story.

"Before fainting, Lao Tzu had only one thought!"

Zhu Wu suddenly amplified his voice, as if he was roaring out of his cavity.

"As long as God doesn't choke Lao Tzu's neck, let Lao Tzu die. Lao Tzu will definitely survive, as long as Lao Tzu survives, Lao Tzu will toss, and Lao Tzu will split this muddy world with one sword! ”

"So, Lao Tzu reversed!"

"Meng Yuan has no way, the sky is angry and people are resentful, the people of the world are like pigs and dogs, slaughtered wantonly, Lao Tzu is not a pig and a dog, Lao Tzu wants to be a man!"

Zhu Wu paused, up and down the city, the character was constantly echoing.

"In the past three years, countless poor brothers from the same background as Lao Tzu have followed under the banner of Lao Tzu, born and died before and after, these brothers think the same as Lao Tzu, be human beings!"

"Some of these brothers died without leaving their names, and some of them did not even leave their whole bodies. But their spirit, their will, is all around Lao Tzu. ”

"Anti-Yuan! Behave! ”

"In three years, we, the children of the poor, have changed from slaves to human beings with the knives and guns in our hands, and have fought our way out.

In three years, we, the children of poor families, have established a big Han.

The Great Han, the country of China, the royal paradise.

In Dahan, no one is a slave, in Dahan, people will not starve to death, and in Dahan, there will be no more tyrannical expropriation.

Dahan, I want the people to live and work in peace and contentment! ”

People, froze.

Throughout the ages, no monarch has made such a declaration in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a monarch who dared to make such a declaration.

The guests were also moved, Mr. Guan drank Zhu Chongba, and looked at Zhu Wu in a daze, as if he didn't know him.

Behind him, the old brothers who followed Zhu Wu wept silently, and the eyes of the ministers bloomed with a warm brilliance.

"In the past three years, we have set the Yuan army up and down, all of us are united, not afraid of difficulties, step by step, and we have today's great man.

Today, widows! ”

Zhu Wu finally changed his name, and in the phalanx standing in the distance, the bodies of the soldiers became more and more erect.

"The widow has placed a stone monument here to commemorate the newborn man and comfort those dead brothers. Sapphire, open it! ”

"Whoa!"

Lan Yu roared again, his face was full of tears, and the war horse suddenly galloped, pulling the rope on the stele, and the red cloth slowly slid down, revealing the stele engraved with names.

There are a few big characters on the stele, and the stele of the heroic soul of the Han Dynasty. On the side, countless small dense red characters lingered tightly.

"Engraved on this stele is the list of the dead soldiers of the Dingyuan Army, and their names will forever look at this land, looking at the big man they defeated single-handedly.

Looking at the rule of the Han Dynasty, people are no longer divided into four classes, people are people! ”

In the distance, the black cloud-like phalanx suddenly erupted with a shout that shattered the sky, "Long live the King of Han!" ”

Zhu Wu waved his hand and suddenly turned around.

"Generals!"

"In!"

With a bang, the generals of the Dingyuan Army were separated on both sides.

Zhu Wu looked at their faces one by one.

The Guo family brothers, the second tiger, Zhu 13, the twenty-two, Zheng Yuchun, the Liao family brothers, the Feng brothers Li Sai and other old brothers wept silently.

"Brother!" Guo Ying opened his mouth and said silently, "Fifth brother! ”

Zhu Wu nodded his head gently, and on the other side, Chang Yuchun, Fu Youde, the Yu family father and son, and Zhao Pusheng.

"Down town, review!"

"Whoa!"

"Han Wang review!" Zhu Yu shouted loudly.
