Chapter Seventy-Eight: Die Generously and Boost Our Country's Prestige

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and continued: "In front of me, I see the hope of a nation! And this nation has been invaded by foreigners countless times, and the nation that has stood up countless times, and now this nation is in danger again, there are Jianzhu in the north who are eyeing our Ming Dynasty, and there are many small countries in the south that have invaded the territory of the empire, and even we are facing threats from the sea. ”

"These people want to turn us into slaves, to trample on the glory left to us by our ancestors, and now there are only two ways in front of us, one is to live like a dog, just like the enslaved people played in "Wu Mourning the Heavenly King", and the other is to fight hard, like our ancestors, to defend this land with blood and dignity, maybe we will die like Ran Min, but our descendants will say, we are heroes, we have fought for this land, and we have shed blood! Which path did you choose? ”

"Fight to the end!" Xiong Tingbi took the lead and shouted again.

"I know that most of you are soldiers to be fed, and that's not wrong, it's important for anyone to be fed, but there is one thing that is more important than fed, and that is what you need to protect with your lives, and that is the glory of the Empire! That is the life and dignity of your parents, brothers and sisters! ”

"Each of you has watched "Wu Mourning Heavenly King", I believe that each of you has feelings, you see not a drama, but history, but what really happened, of course, in the Ming Dynasty, there are many other nationalities, willing to dedicate the nation to the empire, are the people of the empire, we are together, it is a new nation called Huaxia, but those who vainly try to oppress and invade us are the enemies of the empire, the enemies of all ethnic groups in China, we must unite and give them a fatal blow, We want them to understand a truth: those who offend our Chinese will be punished even if they are far away! ”

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" This time, Zhu Youxiao took the lead and shouted.

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

"I once had a dream that I could see every inch of territory that I had lost back to the Empire, and that was a matter of dignity for me and for you, for as long as there was still an inch of land in the Empire in the hands of foreigners, we would not be able to account to our ancestors and our descendants, and even when we died, our souls would not be able to sleep! Because we have lost our dignity, the empire has lost its dignity, the nation has lost its dignity, and your children and grandchildren have lost their dignity! ”

"Many people have always preached the value of peace, but I don't believe that the territory and dignity of the empire are not obtained by begging, not by swallowing our anger, but by the weapons and blood in our hands!"

"Territory and dignity never need to be charity, and no one will give it to us, blindly tolerating is just a sign of cowardice, it is lowly, just like the cheap talent you scold, we will use the weapons and blood in our hands to make everyone who tries to oppress and invade the empire tremble, anyone who wants to trample on us, our answer is to crush their lives and dignity, let them know that the empire is inviolable!"

"Although all this requires us to pay the price of blood and even our lives, I think it is all worth it, because you have earned glory and territory for yourself, for your parents and brothers, for your children and grandchildren, and for the empire.

"Finally, I would like to send you a word: if no one generously goes to death today to boost the prestige of our country, there will be no latecomers to reorganize the mountains and rivers in the future!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't know how useful this passage was, but he knew that this was a seed, and one day he would sprout, and he would grow into a big tree.

After Zhu Youxiao's impassioned speech, it was Xiong Tingbi's turn.

"Your Majesty's words just now made Ben Jiang's blood boil, and he couldn't wait to go into battle immediately to kill the enemy and boost my country's prestige. I also hope that you can be like this general, and have a heart to serve the country. Xiong Tingbi said solemnly.

"On this expedition, the general will demand that on the battlefield, the monarchs must not live up to Your Majesty's high expectations. This time, our target is the Burmese thieves, who have invaded the empire for decades, occupied countless imperial territories, and killed countless people in our empire. Defeating the Burmese thieves is the day when our new army squad returns to Beijing. Xiong Tingbi said.

As for the plan for the entire operation, it can only be formulated by Xiong Tingbi now, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't understand anything.

Zhu Youxiao decided that Sun Chuanting would recall the Beijing Division, which was the second commander of the new army recognized by Zhu Youxiao. Sun Chuanting was a rare military general in the late Ming Dynasty, and history commented that he was cunning, resourceful, and decisive, and was a rare trump card for the Ming court. In the "History of the Ming Dynasty", there is a saying that "the court died and the Ming died".

Now Sun Chuanting is dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship, so he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. Of course, this is not a matter for Zhu Youxiao at all, he believes that a holy decree can recruit Sun Chuanting back.

After the training of the recruit camp, it was the turn of the recruits to take a vacation. Before setting out on the expedition, Zhu Youxiao deliberately gave the recruits ten days off, and then assembled after ten days. After the regrouping, it is time to set out on the expedition.

And before going on the expedition, Zhu Youxiao deliberately paid the recruits first.

Chen Si is now the general manager of Qian, and in the new army, Qian is always equivalent to five products, which is where the new army treats more than other armies, and the Yu Lu has also reached forty taels per month, which is converted into more than 20,000 yuan a month in later generations, and the salary of the new army is one hair for three months, and Chen Si can receive one hundred and twenty taels of silver dollars at a time this time. This would have been unthinkable a few months ago.

This time he only received ten taels of silver, and he deposited the rest of the one hundred and ten taels in the bank, and out of trust in the emperor, he trusted the imperial bank very much.

"Mother, here are ten taels of silver dollars, this is a passbook, you take it, there are one hundred and ten taels of silver dollars in it, here is the password, if you only take less than ten taels of silver dollars each time, you can take it with the password." Chen Si said to his mother.

One of the rules of the Imperial Bank is that when the Imperial Bank withdraws silver dollars, not only a passbook but also a password are required. It's just that there is no interest on saving money now.

"I heard you're going on a campaign, right?" Mother Chen asked softly. Many of these soldiers were homeless, and many of the recruits' families followed them to Beijing, and everyone lived together, and everyone knew what news there was.

"Yes, this expedition will take a year at most, and I will return to Beijing." Chen Si comforted.
