Chenshi, outside the door of Yongding.

As the unfamiliar melody sounded, a team of four columns and ten rows of brocade guards of honor came into everyone's eyes.

In front of the queue, the three-person flag guard team was arranged in a zigzag pattern, with the flag bearer holding high the red military flag and the two flag guards standing their sabers on their chests, solemn and solemn.

The guard of honor composed of forty-three people, accompanied by the "March of the Ming Dynasty", walked slowly towards Yongding Gate.

It was the first time for the officials and onlookers in the capital to hear such a sonorous and powerful song, and it was also the first time to see this array, although concise, but full of ritual.

Seeing this, everyone was speechless, and they intuitively felt that a fire was burning in their hearts.

After the honor guard was the band team brought from Ningyuan, because the whole process needed music blessings, so Zhu Youzhen also included the band in the marching queue.

After the band, it was the representative of the attacking troops who participated in the battle.

At the forefront was Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army, followed by the Guanning Army that followed Zhu Youzhen's surprise attack on Liaoyang, then the Ningjin Army that captured Guangning with Mangui, and finally the Jixuan Army that swept through Horqin.

Each team is a 4*25 phalanx, and their respective leaders are Mao Wenlong, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui and Yang Guozhu.

These 400 military representatives are all veterans who have fought on the battlefield for many years, and each of them has killed more than one person, plus four battle-hardened veterans stood in front of their respective queues.

As soon as this phalanx appeared, it was naturally extraordinary.

After the veteran team, it was the capture of the battle.

In the previous few prisoner carts were captured Tartar generals such as Azig, Li Yongfang, and Shuotuo, and in the later carts were the Tartar heads of Yishui.

More than 5,000 Jurchen Tartar heads and more than 1,000 Mongolian Tatar heads were loaded with more than a dozen carts, all of which maintained the tragic state before death.

In the face of these already nitrated heads, the women and children among the onlookers all covered their eyes.

And after the prisoner of war team, it was Zhu Youzhen, who was in the formation.

Different from the honor guard of the emperor on patrol in the past, Zhu Youzhen's honor guard this time has been streamlined a lot, and the gong umbrella cover and gold gourd jade have all been abandoned, leaving only 48 fully armored brocade guards in front and behind, with sabers standing on their chests, and embracing Zhu Youzhen to move forward.

And Zhu Youzhen did not take a ride, under the banner of the Yellow Dragon Sun and Moon, Zhu Youzhen wore a golden helmet and gold armor, and rode a horse.

In this triumphant procession, in addition to the military flag in front, there is only the dragon flag next to Zhu Youzhen.

According to the practice of the feudal army, the generals of each department can fly the handsome flag with their own surname when they travel, but this time, all of them were cut down by Zhu Youzhen.

The army of the Ming Dynasty can only have one banner, and the army of the Ming Dynasty can only be loyal to him, Zhu Youzhen.

And after Zhu Youzhen's guard of honor, it was the field observation group this time.

The military department and the civilian officials of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies who went out with the army seemed to have changed their appearance after nearly a month of military combat life.

Although the official robes are all new, they are no longer the weak scholars they used to be, and after many days of climbing ice and snow, sleeping in the open air, plus the baptism of blood and fire, these officials have a deeper understanding of soldiers and war.

The only regret is that this battle was all a good battle, and it did not give them the fear of facing death.

But despite this, the nearly one-month military life has still reborn these previously pampered officials and gentlemen.

After arriving at Yongding Gate, 400 sergeants sang the "Ming March" in unison with the sonorous melody, which immediately held the atmosphere to a climax.

After the civil and military officials of the capital bowed to Zhu Youzhen, they all followed the end of the queue in accordance with the previous regulations and slowly walked into Yongding Gate.

Then the triumphant procession did not stop, passing through Zhengyang Gate and Daming Gate in turn, and came to the square in front of Chengtian Gate.

Along the way, the triumphant team reaped the unstingy and indiscriminate words of the people of the capital, especially the four leading generals, although they still had a stiff face, but their hearts had already blossomed.

Mao Wenlong, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao and Yang Guozhu are all border generals, who have been dealing with military soldiers for a long time, and they also have nostrils when they meet several civilian officials.

But today, the people of the capital are all called good men, and the Manchu Dynasty is behind them, and these four generals feel the sense of honor as a soldier for the first time.

This is true of the four generals, and even more so of the 400 sergeant representatives accompanying them, because they have the prestige of the soldiers, they cannot indulge their emotions, but they are also happy and moved in their hearts.

Of course, the biggest harvest this time is Zhu Youzhen, the new monarch ascended the throne, in addition to Wei rebellion, beheading the eunuchs, and raising loyal ministers, this time he personally conquered the Jurchens and returned victorious.

In just a few months, Zhu Youzhen's prestige has risen like the rising sun, and he can't stop it.

On the square in front of the Chengtian Gate, the high platform for the ceremony has been erected.

After Zhu Youzhen rested for a while, he walked up to the high platform again to prepare for the subsequent ceremony of awarding medals and presenting prisoners.

The presiding officer of the ceremony is naturally Yuan Keli.

The ceremony attended by Zhu Youzhen is said to be presided over by Huang Liji, the head of the civil ministers, or Zhang Weixian, a highly respected British minister.

But after the two of them saw the duties of the ceremony host, they both insisted on not accepting, and Yuan Keli could only go on his own.

I've already done it once anyway, and it doesn't hurt to do it again.

The ceremony was the same as last time, with the flag being asked for and then the medal being awarded.

But this award is not the same as the last time, this time it is a bronze medal, a total of ten.

The first one was Mangui's, who took the lead in the battle of Quang Ninh, firmly held the gap in the city wall, fought to the death, won time for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and cut off Yue Tuo's arm, worthy of this bronze medal.

Accompanied by the cheerful "March of the Grenadiers", Zhu Youzhen brought a bronze medal to Man Gui.

At the same time, Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, used an electric horn and recited aloud the heroic deeds of Man Gui in the First Battle of Guangning.

For this way of boasting about martial arts, the civil and military officials and onlookers in the capital felt novelty at the same time, they also spontaneously gave birth to a sense of envy and reverence.

Then the second bronze medal is Cao Wenzhao's, this kid captured Azig alive, likes to charge in person when fighting, often leads the army to be the first to attack the city, and the bravery is also known to everyone, and people give the nickname Cao Maniac.

Seeing that the first two bronze medals were obtained by generals, the onlookers speculated that the third was at least a guerrilla.

But unexpectedly, after Li Dayong's name sounded, a man dressed as an ordinary sergeant limped to the stage on crutches.

For a while, the scene was dumbfounded.

Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the ceremony had given these awardees many times in advance, the first time he saw the Son of Heaven at such a close distance, Li Dayong still knelt down with a thud.

The officials in charge of this link in the audience suddenly had a black line on their faces.

Grandma's, I've practiced dozens of times, and I'm still like this bear when I get on the field.

Zhu Youzhen, who was about to be awarded the medal on the stage, was also shocked when he saw this, but then reacted.

personally helped Li Dayong up and helped him with crutches, and Zhu Youzhen pinned the bronze medal to his left chest.

When the onlookers saw this, they immediately burst into admiration for Yao Shunyu soup.

And Yuan Keli introduced Li Dayong's exploits at the same time.

It turned out that this Li Dayong was the first man to jump off the city wall on Guangning City that day because he was unwilling to fire at the Ming army.

The crowd was in an uproar, but then there was an even louder cheer.

Li Dayong never dreamed that his act of righteous indignation at that time would be exchanged for such glory.

Recalling his brother who jumped down with him but was shot to death by a tartar, Li Dayong's tears could no longer be stopped.

"Kill the Tartars!"

Somehow, Li Dayong couldn't hold back, so he shouted hoarsely on the stage.

The crowd suddenly boiled, and the shout of "kill the Tartars" instantly resounded in the square in front of Chengtian Gate.

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect this show, and glanced back at Yuan Keli, who was also at a loss.

Zhu Youzhen knew that this was caused by Li Dayong's emotions.

For this kind of behavior that can mobilize the hatred of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen is still happy to see it.

Unstoppable, the crowd was allowed to boil for a while.

And Zhu Youzhen also remembered a new idea because of this.

The subsequent bronze medal winners included ordinary sergeants, hundred generals, small flag teams, etc., basically covering all levels of the army.

One of the children, who was about 10 years old, took the stage and immediately set off a climax in the award ceremony.

The boy's father was the first to storm the walls of Kuandian, but after killing two Tartars, he was strung with ten spears into a blood gourd.

So it was his eldest son who received the bronze medal.

Not only the onlookers, but also the soldiers who saw that they could get such a grief after death, and they were all red-eyed.

After the award ceremony, it was time to present the prisoners.

The people looked at Azig, Li Yongfang, and the captured Jurchen generals in the prisoner car under the stage, and they couldn't wait for a long time.

When Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, read out the list of Jurchen generals who were captured this time, these people were escorted to the front of the stage one by one.

Subsequently, Han Jisi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Hui Shiyang, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came to power and announced everyone's guilt on the spot.

For example, the criminal XXX slaughtered XX people in a certain place on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, and so on, and finally according to the different crimes, he was sentenced to punishments such as chopping, beheading, and beheading.

After the three of them finished reading it separately, they presented the judgment to Zhu You for review.

Zhu Youzhen took over the verdict, and took the pen on the spot to tick it off in turn, and after the verdict, he personally picked up the big seal and covered it heavily.

Not only the onlookers, but also the civil and military officials were shocked by this novel ceremony of sacrificing prisoners.

The solemn, sacred, and indesecrated atmosphere instantly filled the audience.

After these prisoners of war who had been sentenced to death were taken down, the most important link came to the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen's oral oracle.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty, a month ago, tens of thousands of our soldiers set out from Jinzhou, from Phi Dao, and from Jizhen, with fearless courage and the belief that death is like home, and rushed to Liaoyang, Guangning, Kuandian and Horqin without hesitation, and I am among them."

"At that time, everyone advised me, saying that the Tartars are powerful, do not fight in the wilderness, and do not take the initiative to attack."

"I understand the good intentions of your ministers, and I do think about the life and death of my Ming Dynasty and the life and death of your soldiers, but I don't believe in this evil."

"My Ming army from the Taizu Huai right troops, chasing the Mengyuan in Mobei, destroying Annan in the Chaoshi, and finally recovering my Chinese clothes, and then several times to conquer the Northern Yuan, south to fight against the Japanese, out of Liaodong to aid the Korean to resist the Japanese, more than 200 years, has made great achievements."

"But since Salhu, my Ming Dynasty has been defeated in Liaodong, so that the mountains and rivers have been lost, and the people have suffered."

"So the Ming Dynasty was filled with a voice, saying that the backbone of my Ming army was discounted and disabled by the Tartar, and I could no longer stand up, and even more, as soon as I said about Liaodong, I opened my mouth and scolded my Ming army."

"But I say a fair word today, my Ming army really deserves to be scolded, after Salhu, the land outside my Ming Pass is all lost, the soldiers of the Nine Sides are tired of running for their lives, and the enemy in the north is often beaten in the autumn wind."

"In the face of the decline on the northern border, I also want to scold, scold them for losing the heroism of my ancestor and becoming an ancestor, scold them for forgetting the unjust soul that died under the Tartar knife, and scold them for giving away the land that the ancestors and ancestors exchanged for their lives without a fight."

"I want to scold, but I also want to mention them to be fair, there are many people in my Ming army who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but there are also heroes who fight to the death and do not retreat."

"Salhu Liu Ting, Jun Song, Wang Xuan, Zhao Menglin, Fushun Zhang Chengyin, Qinghe Zou Chuxian, Kaiyuan Ma Lin, Yu Hualong, Gao Zhen, Yu Shouzhi, Ren Guozhong, Tieling Yu Chengming, Wu Gongqing, Shi Fengming, Li Ketai."

"Shenyang He Shixian, You Shigong, Hunhe Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, Liaoyang Yuan Yingtai, Guangning Liu Qu, Qi Bingzhong, Luo Yiguan, Juehua Jinguan, Yao Youxian, Wang Xiaxe, Ji Shideng, Wu Guoxun, Wang Chaochen, Zhang Shiqi, Wu Weijin."

"Everyone, remember these names, such heroes are the backbone of my Ming soldiers, with their heroic martyrs, I believe that the Ming army will not collapse!"

"Of course, they did live up to my trust, this time they attacked the eastern captivity in three ways, and attacked the northern captivity all the way, and they all returned with great victories!"

"Please think about it, who is willing to brave the wind and sand in the northwest and the wind and snow in Liaodong to hold on? Who is carrying the sword of a Tartar and stepping on the corpses of his comrades, fighting bravely? Who is it that pins his head to the waistband of his trousers all day long for the comfort of our rear and lives a life of licking blood from the knife edge? ”

"The people of the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, please give our army more time, more tolerance, more respect, over time, I believe that the Ming soldiers will use the head of the Tartar to repay your praise today!"

"My Ming army wins!"

Zhu Youzhen's speech full of pride instantly detonated the tears of the soldiers and onlookers at the scene, thinking of those dead soldiers, and then looking at these veterans who survived the bloody battle.

Zhang Dayong, who broke a leg, a child who lost his father, and a small flag team of ten people fighting to three.

How could the onlookers no longer understand the cruelty of the battlefield and the hardships of serving in the army, and they felt more grateful to the soldiers.

In an instant, the scene sounded the earth-shattering sound of "Wansheng".
