On the third day of the fourth lunar month of the first year of the new year, the dense fog in the early morning has not yet melted, and the sound of hurried footsteps is trampling on the muddy road, and someone tears his throat in the heavy breathing: "Great joy!" The green seedlings have grown, and they are three feet high, long live my emperor! ”

The new beginning is Zhu Jun's re-revised imperial name, and the name of Yongli is really stinking on the street, and Zhu Jun himself feels disgusted, so he gathered all the ministers together to discuss. The ministers supported and opposed each half, and in the end, Zhu Jun directly made a decision, and without saying a word, he directly changed the emperor's name to the new beginning, taking the meaning from the new beginning.

Originally, it was necessary to go through some basic procedures to change the emperor's name, such as worshipping the sky, worshiping ancestors, and announcing the world, how could it be tossed back and forth for a few months, but now the small business of the great tomorrow's family is also small, and the ancestral grave has also been dug up by Li Zicheng, and no one dares to go if he wants to inform the world, but there is no difference between going and sending him to death, so these procedures are all saved, and Zhu Jun has a lot of peace of mind.

"Great joy! Green seedlings grow in the valley, God bless my emperor. It was reported that Zhu Jun personally ordered the soldiers to take care of the rice seeds, and the rice seeds broke out three days ago, but they did not dare to confirm it, after all, the growth was too fast, completely beyond their understanding, until the sixth day later, the green seedlings were fully formed, and then they came out to deliver the good news: "There are three feet long green seedlings, and they are growing very well." ”

The remnants were boiling, they ran to tell each other, and swarmed to Zhu Jun's thatched hut and shouted long live, this time it was different, if the previous long live was just a kind of inertia, but this time it was a shout from the heart.

At the turn of spring and summer, on the wasteland, it only took six days to make the rice seeds grow green seedlings, how could it be possible without the blessing of God?

The true Son of Heaven is appointed to the heavens! They were skeptical, but now they believe completely.

The officials also suddenly felt that this once ridiculous emperor was getting more and more cute, this guy who didn't want to take his life and fled thousands of miles was actually not so unbearable, and this emperor who pushed the queen mother off the sampan in order to escape for his life was not as bad as the legend, and there was still hope for the Son of Heaven, who even threw his wife and children aside and hurriedly threw himself into the country.

But Zhu Jun knew that these were just tricks of his magic stick, and the Jade Emperor had no intention of accepting him as a junior brother at all, and now with this east wind, Zhu Jun's prestige immediately increased several levels, and some people objected to what he wanted to do, but now no one objected, because God was on his side, and you couldn't accept it.

The first is to purge the army, Zhu Jun waved his pen, and the eight hundred old and weak people got out directly.

Zhu Jun didn't use any reason, and no one among the ministers objected, if it was in the past, I'm afraid that no matter how hard Zhu Jun persuaded him, the officials would scold him for a bloody dog, and use the king of the dead country, self-destruction of the Great Wall and the like to directly shut you up, and then cooperate with a few stupid people who read and read stupidly to hit the pillar with their heads and play the sad card, you can't do anything, this is the tradition of the Ming Yanguan, the basic law is that the emperor supports, we will oppose it. Is the emperor amazing? There is a kind of court rod Lao Tzu, there is a kind of Lao Tzu dragged out and cut down, Lao Tzu bluntly said that he was guilty, there is the support of public opinion behind him, eighteen years later, he is still a speech official, Lao Tzu is worth this life, Lao Tzu's name is in history, and you will be stinking for 10,000 years.

In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing often happened, and even developed to the point where the emperor scolded the ministers and low-level officials bribed to scold the emperor, but now no one opposes Zhu Jun, he is the real son of heaven, and he is covered by God.

Surrounded by a group of officials, Zhu Jun swaggered and gathered the remaining 1,200 guards, who were divided into three columns under the command of Zhang Youde, holding sticks of different lengths, standing upright.

Zhu Jun stomped Erlang's legs, his face swept over each soldier's face like water, and squeezed out a few words from between his mouths: "Mu Baihu, read out the military order." ”

"Yes." Mu Jianming, the new Hundred Households, stood behind Zhu Jun with a strong force, and unfolded Huang Linglang, who had already prepared in his hand, and said: "Anyone who does not respect the order, behead!"

Those who escape, slash!

Rape captive, beheaded!

………”

It only took a moment to read the military regulations, in fact, there are not many rules, only three, for Zhu Jun, except for a few necessary disciplines, the rest can be properly relaxed, your soldiers are short of money, I will pay on time, reward richly, some necessary rules are still required, if you violate these, there is only one way to die.

"Whoever is above the military discipline, if the soldiers can't recite it backwards within seven days, they will be beheaded!" Mu Jianming finished reading the last chop, let out a long breath, and continued: "The following are the regulations for bereavement rewards, you have listened. ”

"The monthly salary is one tael of silver, the disability pension is fifty taels of silver, the war death pension is one hundred taels of silver, and the meritorious service is judged according to the size of the meritorious service, and the first person is assessed every month with ten taels of silver, the second one is nine taels, and the third is eight taels, and so on.

The soldiers in the queue began to buzz and discuss, the military law is simplified and harsh, but the salary and bounty are a lot, you must know that at this time the rice is two stones (2 stones, that is, 377.6 catties. It's only 1 tael of silver, enough for an ordinary family of three to eat a full stomach, if there is really no deduction in it, plus all kinds of bonuses, it is enough for these guards to be excited for a long time, after all, eating a full meal is not easy for this era.

Zhu Jun stood up from the chair and said loudly: "Starting tomorrow, the guards will practice in the valley every day, and rest at the same time. ”

(The practice starts at 6 a.m. and lasts until 7 p.m.) )

The soldiers are very puzzled, they are guards with Ming characteristics, although the right guard of Longjiang was stationed in the Gyeonggi area in the past, but farming is their main task, it is very rare to be able to practice three or four times a month, how can there be a reason to practice from morning to night every day, but everyone is not stupid, know what to say at this time.

"Long live our emperor! Wait for you to understand! The 1,200 guards roared.

Zhu Jun is not a fool, of course there are not many people who know that these soldiers can understand, but it doesn't matter, by tomorrow, they will understand.

On the fourth day of the fourth lunar month of the first year of the new year, the soldiers began to gather in the valley, but they did not find that at the mouth of the valley, in the depths of the dense fog, Zhu Jun was waiting with Zhang Youde, Mu Jianming and several other generals.

Zhang Youde really doesn't understand this series of military orders of the emperor, but he is the emperor, you have no jokes, it seems that someone is going to be unlucky today, Zhang Youde clenched the handle of the knife on his waist, to be honest, he, the hereditary commander, really hasn't killed anyone, but today, it seems that an exception is going to be made.

"Your Majesty, the third quarter of the year has arrived." Mu Jianming on the side reminded Zhu Jun softly.

Zhu Jun's face turned pale, and he shouted softly: "Commander Zhang, seal the valley mouth for me, but anyone who is late will be brought to the army to listen to my fate." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Youde's legs trembled and he answered.

"Mu Qing's family, what is the most effective way to govern the army?" Zhu Jun suddenly turned sideways and asked Mu Jianming.

"I don't know." Mu Jianming hung his head, although he guessed the answer, he still didn't dare to say it.

Zhu Jun made a horizontal cut posture on his chest with the palm of his hand, and then laughed and said: "If someone dares to break the rules, the only means is to kill, kill one person and deter the army, this is the way to train soldiers." ”

However, this time Zhu Jun did not kill one person, in the temporary martial arts arena, there were already thirteen late sergeants who were escorted to the array of soldiers, including a thousand household chiefs.

Zhu Jun put his hands behind his back, and his fierce eyes swept over every soldier who hung his head, the trick of killing chickens and scaring monkeys has been played by many people since ancient times, but except for a few unlucky eggs, most of them are very happy and happy, and Zhu Jun is the same.

"Come on! Escort Yang Qianhu to me. Zhu Jun's tone softened, and he looked at the panicked Qianhu kneeling in front of him under the escort of the sergeant.

"The emperor spared his life, the last general was also confused for a while, and he missed some hours." Thousands of households begged for mercy in fear. This plea for mercy is almost the same, and it is the epigram of every dying person to all those who still want to live.

"I ask you, what should happen to those who arrive late and leave early?" Zhu Jun asked him tepidly.

"Chop... No... The emperor spared his life, and the last general still had a small ......"

Before Qianhu finished speaking, Zhu Jun had already snorted coldly: "Knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be increased by one degree, and he will be dragged out of the valley and beheaded to show the public." ”

Qianhu fainted and died and was dragged away.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth......

Everyone's fate was squeezed out of Zhu Jun's mouth: "Kill!" ”

The three armies were cold, and many people found that their legs and stomachs were not obeying, and they held the ground tightly with wooden sticks, so that they could barely stabilize their bodies, and a scream before death outside the valley came into their ears, frightening every soldier present.

The last soldier who arrived late was pushed at Zhu Jun's feet.

"Your Majesty, the villain had a chill last night, and the high fever does not go away, it's too late, please spare your life." The soldier's lips turned blue and he kept trembling and begging for mercy.

"Ask the Imperial Doctor."

Soon, Imperial Physician Hu, who followed Yongli into Burma, came, personally called the soldier's pulse, and said to Zhu Jun: "Tell the emperor that this person is indeed suffering from internal cold. ”

Zhu Jun squatted down, personally untied the soldier, and yelled at the servant: "Don't go and ask for a stretcher." ”

He caressed the soldier's forehead affectionately: "Don't be afraid, I will allow you a seven-day vacation so that you can recuperate." ”

He turned around and said to Imperial Physician Hu: "Hu Qing's family, you take good care of him, if the medicinal materials are not enough, you can ask Mu Aiqing, the Duke of Qianguo, for them, and there are also some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in my treasury, if you need to mention it, do you understand?" ”

"Long live my emperor!" The sound of the grinding of the armor was like a wave after wave, and all the soldiers fell to the ground together, some in awe and some moved.

Grace and power are used at the same time, and at the same time, they must also know how to win people's hearts, Zhu Jun imprinted this truth in his heart when he was reading historical records in high school.

"Come on, hang the latecomers at the mouth of the valley and hang their corpses for three days, and all the soldiers who have practiced on time today will be rewarded with five coins in silver, and then send someone to Dawei City to buy a few fat pigs and come back, and reward the three armies."

"All the soldiers, you will practice diligently, and when I go on the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty to build slaves, it will be the time for you to make contributions and tear the soil and seal the marquis!" Zhu Jun raised his sleeves, looked at the countless heads of people under the school field, and shouted loudly.
