42 Praetorian Guard
Wang Jue went out of the Jianji Palace, and did not go out of the Forbidden City directly, at this time, the forbidden army patrolling in the Forbidden City was very dense, and special people were arranged to guard almost any corner. After all, the Son of Heaven has just made a big move, and the entire empire is still in the most fragile and turbulent moment.
Therefore, Wang Jue did not go to some very sensitive places, he just bypassed the Zhongji Hall and the Huangji Palace, and walked along the wall of Wenzhao Pavilion towards the Huangji Gate. Slightly different from the Forbidden City in later generations, Wenzhao Pavilion is now a very magnificent building, and opposite it is Wucheng Pavilion, where the largest intelligence agency of the Ming Empire, Dongchang, is located.
In the middle of the two buildings, there was originally a large empty square for large court meetings and places for the ministers to stand, but now a monument has been built in the center. This stele is the "Holy Emperor Monument" of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it is a warning and commemoration that this emperor left to future generations.
Wang Jue walked up the stone steps step by step, approaching this huge stone monument made of precious materials almost entirely. It can be said that the precious things found by the Ming Empire from all over the world have been left on this monument carved out of marble.
However, the reason why Wang Jue likes this stele, or he thinks that the most precious things on this stele are the words on it that have gone through nearly two hundred years of ups and downs and are still clear and beautiful.
He looked at the regular script on the stele with a look of adoration in his eyes. This is a man's mark on the world, no matter the pain or joy, the man who inherited the Ming Empire in the ups and downs and took it to dominate the world is a great man of this country after all.
Stretch out your hand and touch the words on it, looking at it word by word. He could already memorize the above content backwards, but every time he passed by here, he had to stop and stay, like a smoker addict, to comfort his soul here.
"I came to this world, conquered this world, and left no memorial to this world. But I want to say to my descendants that you should be stronger than me, that there is nothing worth bending your back, and that nothing can destroy your faith! ”
"Muskets, bayonets, horses, battleships...... Including the wealth that has been gathered from the world to the Ming Dynasty, these things are not the most precious things I have left in this world. These things are just indispensable ingredients in the process of conquering this world, and the invisible things I left to my homeland are my most satisfying legacy. ”
"I have liberated your minds and made you tolerant of the things that develop; I have upheld your dignity and made you stand tall in the face of the world; I have planted a seed of self-improvement, and when it blossoms, the Ming Empire will be even stronger than it is now! ”
"So, for the strength of China, let's fight for hegemony in all directions! For the prosperity of China, let's fight for hegemony! For the sake of the name of China in Middle-earth, let's fight for hegemony in all directions! The seas of this world have become my fishing grounds; The land of this world is already my forest garden; I leave the starry sky to future generations, who will bring ...... for me? ”
The rare literary virtue of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was the "Imperial Edict of the King James Document Style", of which the most far-reaching influence on later generations was the use of punctuation marks to break sentences and the promotion of vernacular writing. These two things have been used to this day and have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but at that time, such a stone tablet in vernacular was left, how shocking it was to imagine how shocking it was.
The old stubborn forces have long since disappeared, and the corrupt Confucians who shouted that the Emperor of the Apocalypse insulted Sven have long since disappeared. However, this stone tablet has gone through countless years, and no one dares to desecrate it until today, which is enough to prove that the words on it have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Wang Jue withdrew his palm to caress the words, then stuffed that hand into the pocket of his pants, and walked towards the small door next to the Huangji Gate with his head down. He walked slowly, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the unfavorable situation in Liaodong as he walked, and he didn't notice it at all when the guards passing by saluted him.
The Huangji Gate is a symbol of imperial power, and if there is no special order, only His Majesty the Emperor passes by to be qualified to let the forbidden army guarding the Huangji Gate open the main gate. Being able to pass through the Huangji Gate is an honor in the Ming Empire, an unprecedented glory. So even if his identity is as expensive as Wang Jue, he still took a detour through it, and then crossed the bridge and walked towards the noon gate.
Don't look at what Wang Jue said lightly when he promised Zhu Mu when he built the Pole Palace, and brought back the collapsed situation in Liaodong, it would not work without thinking about it carefully. He put his hands in his pockets, and when he walked to the noon gate, he was still thinking about how to use the troops in his hands to open up the situation in Liaodong.
"Transfer an elite cavalry from Mongolia and assemble directly in the Chifeng area...... It seems that there is a little time in time, but it is still a way...... "Wang Jue thought of mobilizing the same cavalry troops as the rebels, so that when the rebels did not improve the Jiliao defense line, they could try a counter-assault.
Thinking of this, he pulled out his arm, pulled out a very fine pocket watch, and looked at the time. Then he quickened his pace and walked towards the outside of the palace: "Since you want to compete with me Wang Jue to see who is faster, let's compare with each other!" Todd Del Thai, I'm afraid you're a rebel veteran, and you're really no faster than me. ”
After he thought of the basic countermeasures, he did not delay any longer, and after walking out of the palace quickly, he turned over on his own war horse, and the guards who had been waiting for him for a long time behind him were all in good spirits, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the Beijing division with a whip and rushed towards the headquarters in Tangshan.
At this moment, His Majesty the future emperor, Zhu Mu, was facing another loyal subordinate, Li Keshou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and issued his order as the prince who was about to take over the entire empire: "Commander Li, I ordered, to set up an armed Jinyi Guard, select absolutely loyal people, and serve my empire, the matter must be done as soon as possible, understand?" ”
"But Your Majesty! Zu Xun ...... Jinyi Wei is not allowed to have heavy weapons! Li Keshou lowered his head and asked softly. He hasn't adapted to this new master yet, and some things are not as smart as when Zhu Changle was there.
"What Zu Xun said is that the Jinyi Guards under your command are not allowed to have heavy weapons! These armed Praetorian Guards are not under your command! Zhu Mu sneered and said, "They, these newly formed Praetorian Guards, are all loyal to me alone, understand?" ”
