Chapter Seventy-Seven: Reward
A large officialdom was set up on the square in front of the palace, the war drums on the officialdom began to beat rhythmically, followed by the roar of the salute, solemn and solemn, the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner according to their respective military formations, they found that today's ceremony seemed to be different from before, because on the stage in addition to the emperor sitting in the middle of His Majesty and the cabinet ministers beside the emperor, and then other ministers, and finally in the middle of the stage there were people from the Department of Education, is it possible that the people of the Department of Education and Workshop are going to perform today?
Of course, such a ceremony is not in line with the ancestral system, Chongzhen has been revised after consulting with Li Yangde and the cabinet, and is ready to carry out a unique ceremony, solemn and grand, lively, since the battle is won, it is good to be lively, and now Daming needs a vitality.

Soon all the soldiers stood still, the square was quiet, all the soldiers looked forward to the stage, and then saw Li Yangde walked to the middle of the stage, holding a megaphone in his hand, which was made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry under the guidance of Chongzhen. I only heard Li Yangde cough a few times, and after calming down, he took out something similar to the song and began to read it, mainly talking about the battle into Mongolia and how the domestic war situation was, how the soldiers killed the enemy bravely, and read it for half an hour, which made the warm atmosphere of the soldiers in the audience reach the freezing point at once, originally Chongzhen wanted to cancel this step, but he couldn't completely modify the ancestral system, so the resistance would be too great, and it couldn't be said, so that's it, Chongzhen, who was sitting in the center of the stage, was about to fall asleep when he listened.
Finally, in the last subdued words, Li Yangde's tirade finally ended, and then he coughed lightly, and then said, "Okay! Let's let the Workshop Division perform a dance for the soldiers! After speaking, he smiled and retreated, and then the cheerful music sounded, many beauties appeared, and the original cold mood of the soldiers suddenly turned into a warm desert, and began to cheer, Chongzhen also looked at it with interest, and Sun Chengzong on the side shook his head, this Your Majesty, sometimes the idea is really incomprehensible! The other three shook their heads in agreement.
After the dance, all the beauties retreated, and Li Yangde took the stage with a smile on his face, he cleared his throat and said, "Are the soldiers still satisfied with the dance just now?" β
Everyone didn't expect that the usually unsmiling Ministry of Rites Shangshu could smile and chat with them with a kind old grandfather today, but the dance just now was indeed beautiful and applauded, Li Yangde nodded and said with a smile: "Then please enjoy the songs they bring to everyone, and serve the country with loyalty!" β
"What? Song? What's that? Listen to music? I haven't heard of this loyalty to the country before! A new opera! The crowd was puzzled.
When everyone was puzzled, a middle-aged man dressed in the service of a general came to the stage, he was Wu Bing, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi Tixue, when Chongzhen proposed to set up a military song, he was stunned that everyone was shocked again, to say that the army occasionally sings or something in peacetime, but to use a song as the military song of the whole army, this measure is unprecedented, so the cabinet headed by Sun Chengzong can not decide whether to agree to the implementation of such a reform in the military branches, and finally Chongzhen has no choice but to let them find a person who is proficient in music and rhythm, has opera, and composition talentsIn the end, everyone elected Wu Bing, Wu Bing was soon summoned, and after seeing the ceremony, he was very puzzled, I don't know what these gods suddenly called themselves for, could it be that they let themselves sing? !
I saw Chongzhen open his mouth at that time: "Wu Aiqing, the main reason for calling you here today is to compose a song to prepare for my Ming military song in the future, so as to improve the morale of my Ming soldiers, and I, the one who is proficient in music and rhythm, is none other than Aiqing, so I summoned Aiqing!" β
"Don't dare to be a minister! I wonder what His Majesty's request is? Ministers must do their best to complete it! Wu Bing said respectfully.
Chongzhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have written the lyrics, I don't know how to write this song, but I can sing it, and I will show you how to sing it once, and then you will write this song according to my singing method!" β
Everyone was stunned, this Emperor His Majesty can still write words? Can also sing?! Everyone was so shocked that their jaws fell to the ground. Especially Wu Bing, he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor was still a fellow believer? And this opera was not easy for people of the emperor's status to learn at that time, which is really γγγγγγ
Without waiting for them to react, Chongzhen smiled and said: "I was also interested at the time, I learned it very early, and if I can't sing it for a while, don't laugh at me!" β
"Don't dare!" Everyone is embarrassed!
Soon, Chongzhen began to sing softly, a modern pop song Jingzhong served the country because of Chongzhen's appearance, came out hundreds of years in advance, Chongzhen's heart is emotional, excited, this song is one of his favorite songs before, hum a few words if you have nothing to do, and now it is a memory of life at that time! Brother Tu! I'm sorry to steal your work! Excuse me! As the relationship deepened, Chongzhen sang and slowly immersed himself in the song.
With the lyrics of the sentences came out, everyone slowly changed from the initial surprise to sigh to admiration, from this song they felt the magnificent battlefield, the sword is ruthless, the soldiers fought bravely to defend the country The heroism of the enemy, felt the sad mood of the brothers and sisters who died in battle, and felt the determination of the soldiers to die and serve the country loyally! I felt the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor to expand the territory like Emperor Taizu, and make the Ming Dynasty a strong and prosperous country from all over the world to worship! Sun Chengzong quickly integrated into this scene, and although the other people had not been on the battlefield, the other people gradually integrated into the song.
The most profound feeling is Wu Bing, he never thought that the song could be sung like this?! It was like an initiation, opening a window for him to see a whole new world, and he was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Soon, Chongzhen's singing ended, and then he smiled: "It's not good to sing!" Forgive me! However, he found that no one responded to him, which was strange! He looked at everyone, but Chongzhen found that all the ministers were in a stupor, Chongzhen shook his head helplessly, coughed lightly, and raised his voice: "Everyone, Aiqing!"
"Your Majesty sings so well!" Everyone reacted quickly and said in unison.
"The old minister thinks this song is very good as a military song! The old minister seconded the proposal! Sun Chengzong said.
"The ministers seconded it!" The other three also said.
"This song has benefited the minister a lot! I have never heard such a song, thank you, Your Majesty! Wu Bing said respectfully.
Chongzhen smiled: "Aiqing remembered? β
Wu Bing replied respectfully: "The minister remembers! Your Majesty, can you explain the minister's confusion and tell the minister what kind of singing method this song uses? β
"How to sing?! The way this song is sung is called pop singing! Chongzhen smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister implored His Majesty to give the lyrics to the minister after writing the lyrics, and the minister immediately went back to compose the tune! Wu Bingdao.
Chongzhen nodded, Wang Chengen quickly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Chongzhen began to write by brush, and after writing, he admired it and then gave it to Wu Bing, and Wu Bing took it respectfully, carefully put it into his close-fitting clothes, and then respectfully retired, and after going back, he began to compose music every day and night, study this singing method, and he wanted to do his best to complete the task assigned to him by His Majesty.
And today is the time for him to give an account to His Majesty, he looked at the dense Ming soldiers standing in the audience, and then remembered the lyrics of Jingzhong to serve the country, and gradually his feelings have begun to integrate, and then with the sound of music, Wu Bingkang sang passionately and emotionally: "The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north."
The dragon curled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost
The heart is like the Yellow River
Who can fight in 20 years
Hatred is mad and the knife is headed
How many siblings are buried in their bones
What a pity to die to repay the family and country
I sighed and was even more speechless, full of blood and tears
The horseshoe goes south and people look north
People look north at the grass and yellow dust
I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory
The dignified Ming wants to let the Quartet
Come to congratulate
The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon curled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost
The heart is like the Yellow River
Who can fight in 20 years
Hatred is mad and the knife is headed
How many siblings are buried in their bones
What a pity to die to repay the family and country
I sighed and was even more speechless, full of blood and tears
The horseshoe goes south and people look north
People look north at the grass and yellow dust
I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory
The dignified Ming wants to let the Quartet
Come to congratulate
The horseshoe goes south and people look north
People look north at the grass and yellow dust
I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory
The dignified Ming wants to let the Quartet
Come to congratulate
β
At first, the soldiers thought it was strange for the imperial court to send a big man to sing, but with Wu Bing's singing, the lyrics that made them empathize with and the music that made their blood boil, everyone gradually sank. Even all the ministers on the stage were slowly immersed in Wu Bing's singing.
Soon after the song ended, Wu Bing looked at everyone and then retreated, and then Li Yangde came to the stage, he picked up the megaphone and said: "Thank you Lord Wu for bringing us this song of loyalty to the country!" What do you think of this song? β
The soldiers were awakened by this loud voice, and then they all shouted: "Good! Singing so well! This song is so well written! β
Li Yangde nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" Then I would like to invite our wise and martial majesty to make an important speech for you! Li Yangde also patted a horse here, and the officials behind him all laughed secretly.
Chongzhen smiled helplessly, and then went on stage, and as a result, Chongzhen cleared his throat and said: "The heroes of the Ming Dynasty!" All my words have actually been written into the song just now, and Lord Wu has helped me express this feeling very well, and I believe you have all felt it! This time, you have all done a good job, whether it is in Mongolia or in the territory, you can fight bravely and serve the country loyally! I'm so happy! I hope that this momentum and spirit can be retained forever in my Ming Army! β
"Long live Daming! Daming Wansheng! All the soldiers shouted in unison!
Chongzhen nodded, pressed his hand weakly, everyone was quiet, Chongzhen smiled and said: "Just now the kind of loyal service to the country will be my Ming military song, all the troops of the Ming Dynasty will learn this song in the future, and the officials of the Teaching Workshop Department will send someone to guide you!" I hope you all work hard! Let us join hands to create a new glory of Daming! β
"Long live Daming! Daming Wansheng! All the soldiers shouted in unison! The roar shook the sky!
Chongzhen returned to his seat with a smile, while Li Yangde continued to come to the stage, he motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then took the megaphone and said, "Next, the reward ceremony will begin!" Then he took out the holy decree, spread it out, and began to read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: All the soldiers and soldiers bravely killed the enemy in this battle, and raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty and my Ming army. , Feng Yuan Chonghuan as the general of the dragon and tiger, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and gave the earl of Dingyuan!

The audience knelt down and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Hooray, hooray, hooray! β
Li Yangde then put away the holy decree and continued: "Next, the award ceremony will be carried out!" β
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited, and the Baigan Army led by Qin Liangyu was very curious about this medal, seeing that the other soldiers were excited, it should be a good thing, and they immediately looked forward to it.
Soon Sun Chengzong, the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the military department, got up and walked to the front of the stage, after Li Yangde reported his name, he came to power, and Sun Chengzong made silver medals, which were Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and Qin Liangyu, and then Sun Chengzong retired, and Lu Xiangsheng, the squire of the military department, began to issue silver medals, respectively, Li Yan, Yan Yingyuan, Ma Xianglin and his wife, as well as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Huang Degong and others, as well as some soldiers who killed a large number of enemies on the battlefield, after being busy for a while, Lu Xiangsheng also retreated, Finally, the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites jointly awarded bronze medals to the remaining soldiers, and the ceremony ended in a joyful atmosphere.
In the end, Li Yangde took the megaphone and said: "Now that the soldiers have received their own military merit medals, I hope you can win more and better military merit medals in the future!" Finally, I'll give you a bounty! β
There was a cheer below, and soon, boxes of gold and silver were lifted up and opened, and the gold swayed blinded everyone's eyes, and the atmosphere was jubilant, and then Li Yangde began to read the list, and everyone came to the stage to receive their reward according to the name they read, and then happily stepped down, and laughter filled the entire square.
"Your Majesty! There is a Houjin messenger coming! See Your Majesty! Suddenly, an attendant came to report to Chongzhen.
"I know! Stand down! Chongzhen nodded.
Seeing the waiter retreat, Chongzhen then said to Sun Chengzong and the others: "The speed of this Emperor Taiji is very fast!" All of you Aiqing accompanied me to the Qianqing Palace to discuss how to deal with this Houjin envoy! β
"Obey the order!" Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Cheng Jiming and Liu Hongxun said in unison, and then followed Chongzhen out of the lively square.
The other ministers and all the soldiers knelt down and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" β
"Business delivered to your door!" At this time, Chongzhen smiled secretly in his heartγγγγγγ
