Chapter 81: The World is in Progress
It is not for nothing that Dolgon regrets that Zhu Youzhen did not die in the capital.
Chongzhen Zhu's move from the south to Nanjing played a cohesive role that was by no means comparable to that of Emperor Hongguang, the prince of a feudal domain.
Even the crown prince Zhu Cihong can't reach it.
Of course, although Dolgon regretted something, he didn't think that Chongzhen Zhu would be able to make a comeback if he went to the south.
Therefore, he still adopted the strategy of first north and then south.
But in fact.
After arriving in Nanjing, Zhu Youzhen did much better than they imagined.
Neither was he held hostage by the warlords and became a puppet, nor was he manipulated by the Donglin Party.
Even when Zhu Youzhen went out to inspect Huai'an, no official dared to stop him.
From the moment Zhu Youzhen dared to break through the civil obstacles and leave the capital, the initiative returned to him, the emperor.
And Huai'an Mansion at this time.
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen, has arrived here.
On the colonel's field, which was opened by 100,000 people hired by Li Mingrui, the governor of Huaiyang, was already hunting with battle flags flying, and the armor was like a cloud.
The yellow umbrella cover stretched for several miles, and the brocade-clothed man in the flying fish suit occupied the inside and outside of Huai'an Mansion.
On the field of Colonel Nuo, 500,000 conscripts into the army of the Son of Heaven were divided into various formations and arrayed on both sides of the royal road temporarily cushioned by loess.
In addition, the number of people who came from Huai'an and Yangzhou has reached one million, filling the entire Huai'an Mansion city.
From the moment Zhu Youzhen stood up from the imperial chariot.
The entire Huai'an Mansion is already jubilant inside and outside.
The 500,000 men who enlisted couldn't help but hold their heads high, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
……
I don't know who shouted first.
Suddenly, the entire universe was filled with cheers one after another.
No one expected to meet the emperor here.
Even if it can only be glimpsed from afar, it is a rare event for all the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Boom!
The 60,000 troops of Liu Fangliang's army, who were called into Huaiyang's escort, had all changed into the latest mandarin duck robes at this time.
As soon as Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, he hurriedly held the spear horizontally, or pulled out the sword, and stood majestically on both sides of Zhu Youzhen.
Such a military formation made all the 500,000 conscripts present the envy of the people present, and also made millions of people cheer again.
"Long live Daming!"
"Long live Daming!"
"Long live Daming!"
……
"Flat!"
Zhu Youzhen only said one sentence, and then passed it on loudly one after another:
"Flat!"
"Flat!"
"Flat!"
……
Pause.
The entire universe fell silent.
The orderly crowd focused their eyes on Zhu Youzhen's side, and barely made a sound.
Zhu You, who changed into a military uniform, took the imperial chariot.
"Have you all arrived?"
Zhu Youzhen asked Li Mingrui, the governor of Huaiyang, who rushed to the front of the emperor on horseback.
The people referred to by Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen are naturally Jingnan Hou Huang Degong, Ning Wubo Zhou Yuji, Xingping Bo Gaojie, Jianning Bo Liu Fangliang, Dongxiang Bo He Xin, Ningnan Bo Zuo Liangyu, Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, Huaiyang Governor Li Mingrui, Huguang Governor He Tengjiao, Inspector Lu Daqi and cabinet ministers.
These are the core personnel of the entire Ming military system today, and they are all civil and military ministers, and they are feudal officials!
On the one hand, Zhu Youzhen summoned them to discuss the reform of the military and the rebuilding of the new army, and on the other hand, he wanted to have a "meeting of the princes of the Son of Heaven", so that these civil and military officials with heavy armies would know whose courtiers they were.
"Back to Your Majesty, Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu didn't arrive, saying that he was recuperating, and He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, was also tripped by Zuo Liangyu and couldn't get out."
Zhu You couldn't help but smile after hearing this, thinking that this Zuo Liangyu really became the king of Huguang, and he didn't listen to the announcement, and now he doesn't even listen to my will.
"Change horses!"
Zhu Youzhen got on the royal horse as he spoke, and the Jinyi guard commanded the envoy Li Ruolian and the imperial horse eunuch He Xin to accompany him, and then galloped on the royal road.
At this time, it is the season of crisp autumn and the sun is shining.
Under the blue sky, Zhu Youzhen held a sword in his hand, and his armor reflected the light, which made everyone present hold their breath and concentrate as soon as he walked by.
As soon as Zhu Youzhen arrived in front of Huai'an Mansion, dozens of important ministers who were either wearing python robes or bullfighting suits, and the last time were also Zhu robes, saluted in unison:
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
"Get up", Zhu Youzhen said and entered the city, and ran to the city tower as soon as he got off the horse.
A group of civil and military officials hurriedly followed.
Li Ruolian has been closely following Zhu Youzhen's left and right, his body swaying behind him like a spiritual snake, always ready to block the hidden arrows that may appear for Zhu Youzhen.
"People! I am the son of tomorrow, Zhu Youzhen! ”
Hundreds of large water tanks that play the role of amplification stand on and under the city walls.
plus 300 brocade-clothed men as microphones.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen's shout has been heard by countless people, and even if they didn't hear it, they all echoed with the people in front of them:
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! ”
Huai'an Mansion is densely packed with people, and it is almost impossible to see the edge.
But it is precisely this kind of formation that makes any sentence of Zhu Youzhen and any shout of the people seem so inspiring at this moment.
"Now, I am a Ming dynasty, the mountains and rivers are broken, the country will not be a country, the family is not complete, there are thousands of my compatriots who are ruined outside, and there are traitors who are troubled by my Huaxia Shenzhou, when this country is in trouble, I as the emperor, I should have the responsibility to live for the family and the country, and die for the family and the country!"
"But it is equivalent to my people, the safety of the Ming Dynasty is also closely related to you, there is no country where there has been a home, my people, my good sons, take out your blood, raise your swords and guns, and spill your blood with me for the revival of the Ming Dynasty!
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Today, the north is full of wolf smoke, and the foreign robbers are killing my people, and the splendid mountains and rivers of my vast south can no longer fall into the hands of the enemy, and how can I tolerate the scourge of foreign robbers and thieves to turn this peaceful and prosperous world into a hell on earth! Whether you are from a noble background or a lowly background, from now on, I am determined to abolish the system of craftsman and lowly nationality, and all the people in the world are my Ming people, and you should kill thieves with one heart! ”
Zhu Youzhen's generous speech was like a spark of fire, and in an instant, it ignited the enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of conscripts present.
As Zhu Youzhen shouted, "Kill the thief!" ”
In an instant, a shout like spring thunder sounded.
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
……
The important ministers present saw that His Majesty the Emperor and countless people in front of them were shouting loudly. They couldn't help but shout along.
After Zhu Youzhen stopped, the whole passionate scene quieted down.
"Now, I continue to reiterate a recruitment order and a recruitment order, as long as you have the heart to save the country, but please join my Son of Heaven pro-army, apply to the local government, and report to Huai'an Yangzhou Mansion, here, I will personally admonish you and others, and he should personally lead you and others in the future to restore China! Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan, the elites of my Ming Dynasty, I am waiting for you here! ”
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, the whole scene was silent, but in an instant, it was chanting, as if it was boiling directly.
