Chapter 229: Under the light of the sword in the smoke of gunpowder, the heroic soul should be worshipped

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! "Thousands of people roared, like one person, a thousand broadswords slashed down like a horse, like a lightning bolt that could illuminate the sky, and the iron armor pieces on their bodies rang out with their powerful and ferocious movements, and the thousands of people were like one, and the indomitable momentum seemed to be able to split the barracks wall made of blue bricks more than ten zhang away.

Not far from "raise the gun, aim, prepare, and put the ......" There were also more than 1,000 soldiers wearing new-style military uniforms, simple leather armor, iron helmets on their heads, and strange-looking long firecrackers. The jet-black and shiny body of the thousand-handled fire gun suddenly fell back slightly, and short flames and gunpowder smoke erupted from the mouth of the gun, and dozens of steps ahead, the array of straw men tied up with straw and wooden sticks suddenly flew and sawdust flew everywhere.

As soon as the first platoon finished attacking, they quickly retreated from the gap to the last platoon, and began to reload their ammunition in an orderly manner, and even if the roar of the fire guns exploded in their ears, their movements did not stop or panic in the slightest.

In the middle of the school field, the queue and the marching team gave a much worse feeling, always frightened by the roar of the surrounding or the roar of firearms, but with the rhythm of the whistle and the bullet pressure of the officers at all levels, it was finally able to maintain the formation and carry out the training.

“…… In November alone, more than 1,500 people were recruited, and more than 2,100 people recruited last month were all young and strong and tough border people, all of whom were included in this barracks to train the new army. The veterans who have returned here have all been dispersed and mixed in, so that those recruits can get the words and deeds of the veterans and become an army as soon as possible. ”

"And now on the school grounds, the formation is being trained, and the 1,000 recruits recruited this month are being trained. Because the time is still short, I have not yet entered the various actual combat training......"

"In addition, according to Your Majesty's orders, the artillery training will be moved to a valley five miles away from the barracks, but at present, our artillery has been moved there, and in the city of Xuanfu, there is not even a single artillery, if there is an enemy to attack......"

In addition, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to approve the recommendation of General Jiang and Luo Hengxin, and Tian Kun awarded the title of commander and temporary commander of Kaipingwei. However, although Yang Jun and Shi Biao have already made meritorious contributions, they have only been promoted to two levels of martial arts, Shi Biao Jin General Xuanwei, Yang Jun Jin General Anyuan, and each will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver......"

-------------------- "What about the soldiers on the perians?" Is there a reward? Standing on top of the towers of the high guard towers of the barracks, he looked at the barracks, which covered an extremely large area and looked like a small city, and asked lightly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, except for the rewards of the Kaiping Wei soldiers, none of them ......"

"My imperial brother may be worried, what if he rewards our Xuanfu with all the money, and the rest of the border towns are red-eyed? Hehe" Zhu Qizhen put away the binoculars and thought about it for a while. "But all the soldiers of the Zhubian Fort who have been attacked by the tile thorns since last year will be rewarded with five taels of silver for each soldier, and all military attachés below the fifth rank will be rewarded with fifty taels, and above the fifth grade, they will be rewarded with one hundred taels. In addition, all the beheading work will be calculated to the total number of soldiers in the border fort, and the head of a tile spur soldier will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

By the way, all the soldiers who are injured and disabled and can no longer serve the country will be rewarded with another 20 taels, 20 acres of land, and 20 years of land tax exemption. All fallen soldiers are allowed 30 taels of silver and 20 acres of land for their families, and they are exempt from field tax for 20 years, and if they do not have strong laborers in their families, they can not reward the fields, but they can go to the yamen to receive 2 taels of silver every month until their families have arable labor, and then they are allowed to give fields and still be exempt from field tax for 20 years......"

Hearing this, everyone standing behind Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but gasp, not to mention anything else, just to say that since the end of last year, just in the battle of Kaipingwei, eight thousand prisoners were beheaded, and one head was counted as ten taels, and eighty thousand taels of silver were pulled out at once.

And to reward the soldiers of the border fort, I am afraid that the amount spent here is about the same amount. In addition, the reward of the dead and wounded soldiers was so heavy, so that those generals had something indescribable in their hearts, and there was a little more firmness in their eyes when they looked at the back of Zhu Qizhen.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, those young men who died defending the city. Yuan Bin thought for a moment and asked again.

"In the same way, they were also disabled for my Daming, and they died before the battle, and they must be treated the same." Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath of his hand, and slapped his big hand on the tight wall of the watchtower. "It is their duty and obligation for the soldiers to defend their homeland, and those young men who enthusiastically help the soldiers defend the city, they are also qualified and respected by us, do you understand?"

"Weichen understands, Your Majesty's move, I will be moved by the millions of soldiers and civilians in Xuanfu, Xuanfu Lishu, how dare to disobey the deadly......" Hearing this, Luo Hengxin, who was already in tears, couldn't help but tremble and bow to the ground slightly, and his excited voice choked up.

"Get up, speaking of which, I am very ashamed, I just paid some silver taels, but those soldiers and Xuanfu young men who were killed and injured by the war, they paid not only their blood and sweat, but also their health and even their lives." Zhu Qizhen turned his head and looked at the people who fell down in the tower, not only did he not feel a little better in his heart, but he became more and more uncomfortable. "These things are not gold and silver that can be exchanged again. But that's all I can do, and I'm ashamed......"

"In addition, the distribution of silver taels, Nian Ning and Qian Zhong ......" Zhu Qizhen even named the names of several confidants. A few of you, take full responsibility, and I will let the Jinyi Guard and the various garrison eunuchs help you. ”

"I also hope that Zhuqing and I will work together to handle this matter safely and properly, and we must not let any soldier fail to receive the rewards and supplements that he should have received." Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen's voice suddenly turned cold. "No matter who it is, even if it only embezzles one or two pieces of silver, there is only one ...... to end up"

"The ministers obey the order, and they will never dare to disobey." Nian Ning, Qian Zhong and the others answered loudly. Others may not know, how can those of them who have been with Zhu Qizhen for a long time not know that Zhu Qizhen hates those corrupt people the most, and the heads of the generals of Kaipingwei who were slaughtered at the end of last year are now wandering around the guards, offices, and forts of Xuanfu with their "merits".

"In addition, I want to build a Shrine of the Heroic Spirit in this barracks." Zhu Qizhen raised his hand to signal that everyone stood up, and pointed his finger at the empty space at the back of the barracks.

-------------------- "Valhalla?" Luo Hengxin chewed these three words repeatedly, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. Your Majesty, what do you mean ......"

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many people have sacrificed their lives for the country, but they are all under the loess, anonymous, and if there is no their hard work and fearless dedication, how can there be today's Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Qizhen pursed his lips, and his voice became more and more heavy. "They are not meritorious generals, but without them, how can I have the world, how can I be in the Ming Dynasty, how can I be in the Yuan Meng, how can I restore my Chinese clothes and Han family?"

"Though they are nameless, how can we forget them? In the past, I didn't think about it, or I couldn't think of it, but now, since I think of it, I will do it, and I will do it. Let those Ming soldiers who have been loyal to the bones and do not know their names accept the incense sacrifices of their descendants. ”

"From now on, every soldier, even if they don't have a name, must erect their tablets and erect them in the Heroic Shrine, so that the loyal souls will not be scattered in a foreign land, let them bless the younger generations, and let the younger generations never forget that it is their efforts that have brought the Ming ...... today."

"Your Majesty the Emperor is so gracious, Weichen on behalf of me Xuanfu 100,000 soldiers, on behalf of my Xuanfu in the past sacrificed his life for the country to thank Your Majesty for your grace, Your Majesty has such a painstaking heart, the world's strong men will definitely die to serve the court......" Jiang Fu raised his head loudly at the moment.

"Nian Ning, Qian Zhong, when you go to the forts, remember to tell the soldiers of the forts this news, so that all the soldiers of the Xuanfu will know that I will live up to them." Looking at the officials in the hall who were extremely excited with expressions on their faces and their eyes were red and hot, the corners of Zhu Qizhen's mouth curled slightly, and he was also very relieved in his heart.

The drill in the barracks continued, the roar and smoke of the fire, the uniform roar and the bright sword light, made Zhu Qizhen's heart sway. In this era when loyalty and faith have not been lost, and when hope has not been lost, those who have sacrificed their lives for the country should be respected and admired as they deserve.

"Let's go a little faster, I can't wait." Zhu Qizhen silently estimated the power in his hands, he had never looked forward to the arrival of his opponent like this moment.

As for the series of methods of his good brother Zhu Qiyu, he didn't care, or Zhu Qiyu's series of stupid actions had already demoted him to a second-level opponent. Dealing with a person who was just thinking about how to get his son to the position of prince, apart from this, Zhu Qiyu seemed to feel that something big was about to happen, and he couldn't wait to enjoy it. The letters and information from Jingshi were handed over to Zhu Qizhen, and looking at the detailed information, Zhu Qizhen expressed more and more disappointment in his younger brother.

There are no fewer beauties in the palace, but this guy actually secretly went to get a prostitute, and in the name of the music girl, he got into the palace to offer Yinle, and there were twelve of them, Zhu Qizhen felt that when he saw this information for the first time, he felt that this thing didn't want to live.
