The first year of Chongzhen.

March 20th, afternoon.

Yang Gengai took a good nap and was about to go out for a walk.

Wang Chengen walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the secret box you just received." ”

Secret crates? This thing seems to be only used by Mao Wenlong alone! Yang Gengai quickly took over and looked at the lock, which was intact and the seal was intact. He took out the key again and unlocked it.

There were a few pieces of paper inside, a letter from Mao Wenlong. After half a month, this box has gone from the capital to Mao Wenlong's hands, and it has come back again.

"Minister Mao Wenlong bowed across the sea, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

“…… The ministers thanked His Majesty for giving him military salaries, and the soldiers were grateful, saying that His Majesty was a merciful prince and a lord of sainthood, and would repay His Majesty's kindness with blood. ”

“…… The soldiers of the Dongjiang River, the soldiers who have been trained for many years are about 40,000, and another 30,000 are auxiliary Xinding, who are cultivated in peacetime and assisted in wartime, and another 70,000 or 80,000 are brave and strong, and with a little training, they can participate in the war, not to mention the field battle, it is enough to defend the city. ”

"The minister will definitely act in strict accordance with His Majesty's will, and will not let a suspicious material enter Liao. Please also ask Your Majesty to send an angel to manage the entry of materials into the Dongjiang River, and the minister will kowtow again......"

Mao Wenlong reduced the number of soldiers to 40,000 this time. It's almost half like before. Yang Gengai thought about it, this Mao Wenlong squeezed the water of the number of soldiers almost enough. Forty thousand, not too much, not too little, to contain the wild boar skin, enough. No matter how many soldiers there are, it is time for him Mao Wenlong to have a different mind.

How do you reply to the letter?

After thinking about it, he wrote on the paper: "On March 13, the letter has been received, and I am very relieved to hear what Mao Qing said. ”

After thinking about it, he wrote: "The matter of military salary, 100,000 taels of military salary per month will be delivered on time, Mao Qing does not have to worry about military salary, he must concentrate on training." ”

"Regarding the management of the customs, I already know, and before I say that someone will come to take over, Mao Qing must remember my words, except for luxury goods, nothing else will be allowed to enter the customs. Anyone who dares to bring contraband into the customs will be killed. ”

The letter to Mao Wenlong has been written so much.

Originally, there were still many things that needed to be explained and done.

In fact, Mao Wenlong has agreed to "partner in business" with the emperor, and looks forward to the emperor taking over the management as soon as possible, which is justified, and he will no longer be afraid of others making noise about his business with the Korean Dongyu, this emperor took the lead, and you have the ability to go to the emperor. It's a pity that there are really no reliable manpower on Yang Reform's side, and these three classes have been opened. The eunuch class and the jinshi class have not yet opened, and there is really no reliable manpower.

Also, it is a military matter, Yang Reform plans to do some reforms, or to mix some sand with Mao Wenlong, but unfortunately, the Sheren class has not graduated, and there is no manpower, which is a problem.

After hurriedly writing the letter to Mao Wenlong, preparing to seal it, think about it, or don't send it out for the time being, think about it again, it seems that I am too impatient, and there is something missing. I forgot about the choir.

My own choir, it seems that it is time to appear, this Dongjiang condolences, should also begin, I don't know how this song is practiced, this empire needs idols, soldiers, it needs a dream lover, which helps to improve the morale of the soldiers, improve courage, enhance faith, is conducive to the unity and stability of the army, with the experience of the 21st century, it is very necessary to shape such an empire idol and dream lover.

"Let's go, big companion, go to Guo Huan." Yang Gai stood up violently and shouted at Wang Chengen. After finishing, he added: "Please invite the two masters, Sun and Xu, to go." ”

……

West Garden.

Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi wondered, why did they only meet in the morning, and they were accepted into the palace again before they did anything serious in the afternoon? was also called to the West Garden.

……

"I don't know what happened to His Majesty summoning his ministers to this West Garden?" Sun Chengzong asked. Why did you come to Xiyuan for no reason? Xu Guangqi was also confused.

"Hehe, that's right, I have prepared a choir, ready to go to all sides to comfort the labor army and raise the morale of the soldiers. I would like to ask the two masters to take a look and see how the effect will be. ”

Sun and Xu are inexplicable, condolences to the border army? Still singing? The labor army generally sends someone to send some food and drink, and send some silver to the past, even if it is the labor army, and sing condolences? It can't be something like Rausch's Army, right? Xu Guangqi's face was already dark on the spot, and he said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty should govern the country with benevolence and benevolence, instead of sending a group of poor women to serve the border army Yinle, which was born and raised by parents, why should you be so humiliated?" Camp notes, vulgar military men do it, it's not good to say much, Your Majesty is the Ming Monarch, the Holy Lord, why do you do such an absurd thing, and are controlled by others? ”

Yang Reform was inexplicably reprimanded by Xu Guangqi and felt very wronged. opened his mouth to explain: "Master Xu is wrong to blame me, I didn't plan to send any camp notes over, it's a choir, alas, the two masters still come with me, let's take a look, I think this thing is of great help to improve morale." ”

Isn't it a military record? Xu Guangqi also felt embarrassed, he said the emperor plainly, although he was the emperor's teacher, but this unclear lesson to the emperor was too imprudent, but fortunately, the emperor's measure was large, so he didn't care about these.

……

Guo Huan was very happy to see the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor and his entourage.

"Slave maid Guo Huan knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." In addition to kowtowing to the emperor, he also saluted Sun and Xu.

"Get up, Guo Huan, how is the choir ready?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the choir has mastered the songs and songs, and they are ready to perform for Your Majesty at any time."

"Hehe, it's not for me, oh no, it's for me,...... In this way, I will see the effect first, and if I can, I will give you a difficult task, and if you do it well, you will be rewarded. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will start now."

"Well, okay, let's get started." Yang Gengai sat in the stands, ready to enjoy the choir's singing. Sun and Xu sat on both sides, ready to see what the choir the emperor was talking about.

……

The first song is "On the Liao River". (Adapted from "On the Songhua River")

Sure enough, it's a big killer.

As soon as this song was sung, Xu Guangqi said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister blames Your Majesty,...... The voice of this song is slightly hoarse, desolate and sad, and the sound is inspiring, especially the people who have deviated from their homeland in Liaodong, when they hear this song, they must be in tears, and their hearts are miserable and abnormal, with a little guidance, the anger of revenge will definitely burn, and this song will definitely be able to reach tens of millions of people who can fight. ”

Sun Chengzong also heard this song for the first time, and he was also full of emotion, and he also felt that His Majesty the Emperor's mind was really peculiar, and thought of using songs to improve morale. After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister saw that the book wrote that Han Gaozu surrounded the overlord of Chu under the wall, embattled, the overlord of Chu collapsed without a fight, and he didn't think so, thinking that the book was made up, and now he said that listening to this song, the minister feels that this embattled, the ancients did not deceive me, Your Majesty used this song to inspire the fighting spirit of the military and people in Liaodong, presumably it will get twice the result with half the effort, and it can achieve miraculous results......"

In the face of the praise of Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, Yang Reform was also a little proud, this art troupe has this glorious history in later generations. It has a high bonus effect on the cohesion, combat effectiveness and will of the army. I crossed over to get a gun, how could I not get this thing? Of course, you can't tell anyone about this, so you can only enjoy it in your heart.

"Hehe, two masters, this is the song I created specifically to deal with the Eastern Captives Houjin, the purpose is to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, stimulate the blood surname in their bones, and stimulate their determination to take revenge."

"Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible, Your Majesty is really the Holy Lord." The two said in unison.

……

The second song is "Loyal to the Country".

This song has been sung in the court, and Sun and Xu thought it was nothing more than that. In addition to the impassioned men's chorus, there are more than ten soundtracks of the guzheng, the scene is unusually grand, with the sound of the zither ringing, it is like the killing atmosphere on the battlefield overflowing, Jin Ge Iron Horse, blood boiling, urging people's hearts to beat wildly, like a sword and sword shadow flashing in front of them, dangerous and abnormal. The sound of the guzheng is sometimes high, urgent, expressing generosity and pride; Sometimes the sorrow and sorrow, expressing the tragedy and regret, as if bringing people into the battle of swords and swords hundreds of years ago.

Complete.

Sun Chengzong came back to his senses after half a ring, and said: "Your Majesty's song, it is really urging people's blood to boil, full of pride, the old minister is like returning to the battlefield, full of strength, as if he is ten years younger, and he can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time." Use this song to boost morale and great goodness. ”

Xu Guangqi stroked his beard, and his eyes seemed to be staring at something, firm and fanatical.

"Hehe, let's move on to the next one."

The third song is "My Hometown". (Adapted from "My Motherland")

……

The fourth song is "Linjiang Immortal". (The theme song of the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms uses the words in it.) )

……

As soon as a few songs were sung, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi were in tears. Originally, for the sake of the country, I broke my heart, I don't know how much sadness and grievances I buried in my heart, and I was moved by this shocking music, and I couldn't help it anymore and cried bitterly.

Yang Reform's life is far less rich than that of Sun and Xu, who came to the Ming Dynasty and was also the emperor, and he didn't experience much of this bitter and bitter thing, plus he had heard these songs earlier, so he had immunity. And these people in the Ming Dynasty who were dedicated to the country and the people, but were repeatedly treated unfairly, were pulled by the power of music that penetrated the soul, and hooked up the sad and sad things buried in their hearts, and they couldn't help it anymore, crying and venting.

Yang Gai didn't expect that this song would have such a great power that it would make the two old men cry. Why don't you feel much? I just think it's strong enough and it sounds good.

Yang Gengai knew that in the course of their lives, Sun and Xu had experienced many sad and bitter and helpless things, and they had no way to serve the country, and they were wronged and unwilling, and they had buried many unknown things in their hearts.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.
