After Chongzhen finished speaking, he asked the soldiers of the whole army to go to lunch.

Obviously because Guang Shiheng was late, Chongzhen just came up with such a test of "patience", and he could still say some truth, Chongzhen admired himself for being so able to fool.

However, it is also not like the 21st century in ancient times, where there are mobile phones, WeChat and radio communications. It is common for soldiers and large troops to lose contact on the battlefield, Chongzhen only brought 5,000 people, if he loses contact, he will be in chaos, and this battle will not be able to fight!

Chongzhen, as usual, dined with the soldiers.

Since the emperor often eats with the soldiers, the commanders of the hundreds of households and thousands of households in the Tianziwei also eat big pot rice with the soldiers.

They were originally from poor backgrounds, although they became commanders, but the commanders were a little confused, and the emperor said that they should be commanders, and they did. The emperor set an example and loved soldiers like sons, and they naturally loved soldiers like sons.

The commanding envoys are now following the emperor, waiting for the emperor's questions and dispatches at any time.

The soldiers usually chatted during meals.

But now that the emperor is here, he is much more restrained.

"Everyone, I am here, you don't have to be so restrained, you just relax as usual." Chongzhen said while eating a steamed bun.

Hey, I have to say, the emperor and the soldiers ate together, this food is much better, I remember that Chongzhen saw the food of the soldiers in the capital after he crossed, it was the same as a beggar's. No wonder Li Zicheng surrendered from place to place, military salaries were deducted from the generals, and the soldiers were so miserable that they couldn't figure it out, who would fight desperately.

"Your Majesty, you and the commander have dinner with us soldiers, you can't get rich if you are promoted, what is the use of being promoted." A voice from one of the soldiers said.

Chongzhen was about to answer, but Liu Feng felt that something was wrong, what kind of soldier is this, this kind of question is also used to ask the emperor! So I immediately asked a second question.

"Your Majesty, what preparations will you make for the second level you just mentioned, courage?"

"Okay, I'll answer these two questions with you now." Chongzhen put down the steamed bun in his hand and asked the soldiers around, "Do you know what courage is?" ”

Yang Yuanyong said, "Your Majesty, of course, courage is to bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield!" ”

"Hmm" Chongzhen nodded, but still asked the others, "Does anyone else have other opinions?" ”

These days, Ziwei are all from ordinary people, and they can't say much about the big truth, so no one says it.

"Yang Yuanyong is right, for a soldier, courage is the courage to kill the enemy on the battlefield! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! But for a soldier, courage is not only the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy, but also the courage to defend the country! Champion Hou Huo went to illness, just like your age, at the age of seventeen, he led 800 horsemen into the Hun desert for hundreds of miles, killing the Hun soldiers in all directions! After returning from the victory, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded Huo Quai, but Huo Qubing refused to say: The Huns are broken, how can they be home! Then Huo Qubing broke the Xiongnu in the Battle of Hexi, captured the Xiongnu and sacrificed to Tianjin, and took Qilian Mountain; In the battle of Mobei again, Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu and returned victorious! What did Huo Quai's victory depend on, it was the unbroken Huns and how could he be at home! is such a letter that made Huo Qubing marry on the battlefield and win the final victory! ”

"Just now a soldier asked me, you can't get rich if you are promoted, so what's the use of being promoted? I tell you that it works! Huo Quai, like me and these commanders, shared weal and woe with his soldiers, and finally rewarded the Marquis of Wanhu! When the world is calm, I will be rewarded for my meritorious deeds! Have you heard of my art troupe? ”

"Your Majesty, the art troupe is full of beautiful sisters, and they can get more military pay than our soldiers if they sing songs every day!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is not fair!"

There were some complaints among the soldiers.

Chongzhen ignored these voices and asked everyone, "You say, is the girl in the art troupe good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful!"

"Do you want to retire and marry home?"

"Yes!"

"Hehe, that art troupe is the daughter-in-law I found for your lieutenant generals! Only the most valiant soldiers can marry them! ”

"Your Majesty, is it really?"

"Otherwise, what would I do with such a high military salary! I'll ask your daughter-in-law to help you save money! ”

Hahahahaha!

There was a cheer among the soldiers!

"On this expedition, you also know that I only need the most elite 5,000 soldiers, and the selected soldiers are the elite of my Ming elite! Although it is a godsend, death on the battlefield is still inevitable! If someone is afraid of death and hardship and does not dare to go out with me, I will never force him to stay in Tianziwei! The capital is dividing the fields, and those who dare not go can go to the capital to divide the fields! ”

After the happy cheers just now, Chongzhen confronted these soldiers with the problem.

There was silence for a while, and soon someone spoke.

"Your Majesty, you are the best emperor. We were originally victims of the disaster in Shanxi, and we endured the harassment and humiliation of the Mongolian Tatars all year round, but you recruited us to the barracks and gave us food, so we did not starve to death. Who is a greedy breed who is afraid of death, my Wang Dahu cut her first! Wang Dahu said first.

"I said, if you don't want to go out with me, you can go to divide the field, and I will not force you to stay! In this battle, I want warriors! Chongzhen interrupted Wang Dahu's words.

But Chongzhen was very satisfied with Wang Dahu's words, Wang Dahu said this, who would dare to really divide the field.

However, Wang Dahu and the other commanders didn't quite understand, what was the matter with the emperor? Do you really let the soldiers divide the fields? The soldiers have gone to divide the fields, who will fight? Who will defend the capital? Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan had already rebelled, and the Qing cavalry went south to the capital, and it was only a matter of two days.

It was Liu Feng who saw Chongzhen's true meaning

"Your Majesty, in the defense of the capital, you invented hot air balloons and Molotov cocktails, and you led us to defeat Li Zicheng with fewer victories! Your Majesty, I'm Liu Feng, I'll follow you to death! I am your warrior! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, my Wang Dahu is also your warrior!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are all your warriors!"

"Your Majesty, we are all your warriors!"

"Follow the emperor, calm the world, and defend the country!" Liu Feng shouted the slogan first.

"Follow the emperor, calm the world, and defend the country!" Other soldiers also shouted out with Liu Feng!

The soldiers all said that they were not afraid of death and wanted to go on the expedition with Chongzhen, Chongzhen was very pleased, this is the effect he needs!

Chongzhen looked at Liu Feng, this kid is good, I understand what I really mean!

"Good! I am here for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world to thank all the soldiers! Everybody's very nice! This second level, courage, everyone has passed! ”

The soldiers of the whole army cheered again!
