Looking at the expression on Meng Fan's face, Shen Yichen's mind came up with his answer at that time.

"Then that's probably the only way we have the same."

Yes, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, right or wrong, both sides will fight for their own people. Only when one side completely falls will the war between Daming and Luchuan end!

Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a set of standardized etiquette has been formed, and there is actually no common negotiation in the process, and the presence of officials from all parties is mainly to determine the specifications.

Because in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the Tusi secession regime of Luchuan is fundamentally different from Mongolia. Even if they can't defeat it after several conquests, they are still not even worthy of the small country of Yuer, and it is impossible to use the standard of surrender of the prince.

And taking a step back, the captured Si Renfa can only be counted as the previous leader, and the real "Luchuan King" Si Ji Fa is still absconding, waiting for a comeback, and the Ming side still has to make a face.

Of course, the most important point is that the envoy of the Son of Heaven is not the emperor himself, so the specifications will naturally be lowered.

Therefore, after some agreement, according to the standards of the Southwest Yifan State, the place of surrender was placed in Andingmen, instead of the Sheji Altar, which has the symbol of "royal land".

Anding Gate is one of the nine gates of the Beijing Division, representing the gate of the army after returning from the victory.

Seven of the nine gates of the Jingshi urn built the Guandi Temple in the city, only the Anding Gate and the Desheng Gate in charge of the expedition were built to build the Zhenwu Temple, worship the Zhenwu Emperor, and symbolically bless the smooth martial arts.

Whenever the imperial army returns from a battle, it must enter through Andingmen, which is set as the place of surrender, which is almost the best choice.

After the negotiation was completed, the officials of the various ministries and temples left one after another, except Shen Yichen and Meng Fan who were still sitting in the empty hall of the Ministry of Rites, and both sides had their own concerns.

"You were surprised to see me today, right?"

Meng Fan opened his mouth first, and asked Shen Yichen lightly.

"yes, I didn't expect to see you here."

"But I've been keeping an eye on you."

Shen Yichen is the only scholar who has walked all the way down the road of Meng Fan's imperial examination, and has not regarded himself as a meritorious worker.

On the contrary, he sees himself as an enemy!

But for some reason, Shen Yichen's hostility, Meng Fan was even more useful. At least the other party does not have that contempt and superiority, and the two sides can talk on an equal footing, even if they are enemies!

This complex mentality made Meng Fan have a self-deprecating smile on his face.

Who would have thought that the person who respects them the most is an enemy who is not too familiar?

"yes, should I say honored, or angry?"

Shen Yichen glanced at Meng Fan, not knowing what the other party was laughing at.

"I'm glad you remember me, but you're still there."

"It's not you that I remember, it's Luchuan."

Since each side is its own master and destined to be enemies, Shen Yichen no longer needs to hide hypocrisy.

The Ming Dynasty was unable to cope with the three-front war, and now the peasant uprising in the southeast was temporarily suppressed by its own use of smuggling to stabilize the miners.

The northern nomads are mortal enemies, there is no possibility of reconciliation, and both sides are recuperating and waiting for a big battle.

Then the key point now is only one Luchuan!

What Shen Yichen wants to do is very simple, that is, when the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia fight to the death, he will not be attacked on his back!

"I know, otherwise you wouldn't have elaborated on Luchuan in the post."

"Looks like you know a lot."

"Of course, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can make one invincible!"

After saying that, Meng Fan turned his head to look at Shen Yichen, his eyes were firm and he continued: "Blood relatives were killed, clansmen were taken captive, and now Da Ming is also my enemy!" ”

Once upon a time, Meng Fan was conflicted in his heart.

Because he was a child, in the name of tribute, he was sent to Yingtianfu by Si Renfa to receive Confucian education. It can be said that Meng Fan's growth environment is no different from that of the Great Ming Scholars, full of the thinking concept of the inner saint and the outer king.

Therefore, Meng Fan faced the war between the Ming Dynasty and Luchuan, and the ideological concepts and blood and family ties were fiercely clashed, and he was never able to completely stand on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty.

But with the head of Si Renfa's Xiang Shang being sent to the Jingshi, the sway in Meng Fan's heart disappeared, and now Da Ming is his enemy, and he must fight for the tribesmen!

"Since you have made your attitude clear, then I will tell you a word too."

"As long as Luchuan dares to rebel, the Ming Dynasty will definitely point to the soldiers and wipe out the people who are not subservient!"

This is Shen Yichen's warning to Meng Fan, as he once said, Yunnan Han will never be allowed to split into a second Annan.

After saying this, Shen Yichen got up and left, he knew very well in his heart that it was useless to say more, Meng Fan was destined to not be able to forget this blood feud.

"Luchuan is not a minister, it is forced by the Ming Dynasty!"

Meng Fan's unwilling roar came from behind his ears, and Shen Yichen did not look back to argue.

In fact, in a sense, the repeated rebellion of Luchuan and the Ming Dynasty's policy of "razing and razing" do have a causal relationship.

To put it bluntly, it is a balancing act to achieve containment by using the contradictions between the toasts to make them conflict with each other and weaken their strength.

The core idea is that "the sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits".

The ultimate goal is to abolish the hereditary Tusi system after it has been weakened to a certain extent, and the central government will appoint liuguan to rule directly, which is the famous "changing the land and returning to the stream".

At present, the Ming Dynasty set up the "Three Propaganda and Six Comfort Divisions" in the southwest region, which is based on this strategic goal. To a limited extent, it provoked disputes between the Propaganda Divisions, slowly dividing and weakening their power, and was always in a controllable rhythm.

But the question is, how can the "big chess" be so easy to play, and the toasts are willing to be a chess piece?

Once the rhythm is not well controlled, and the mediation cannot be done outside the matter, the contradictions between the two Tusi may be transferred to Daming.

thought that the emperor had handled it unfairly, and rebelled together when he was resentful......

When Ming Yingzong mediated the conflict between Mu Bang Xuanwei Division and his subordinate Meng Mi, a similar thing occurred, and both sides were dissatisfied and caused turmoil.

In addition, this degree of weakening is difficult to control, for Daming, the ideal result is naturally that both sides will lose and weaken together.

However, in actual manipulation, the powerful side often does whatever it wants, capturing or even annexing the adjacent Propaganda Division, but it is also getting stronger and stronger.

If the central power is strong enough to suppress the strong and help the weak with a large army, this problem can be solved. If the government is not lax enough, it will evolve into a tiger breeding, and the rise of the Jurchen tribe at the end of the Ming Dynasty is a typical example of playing.

Relying on the three magic weapons of the edict, the tribute and the horse market, the Jianzhou Jurchens quickly grew and annexed the Haixi Jurchens and the savage Jurchens, thus completing the unification and destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

History is really moving forward in a cycle, the rise of the Jurchens is undoubtedly similar to the current Mongolian copy, and the Tile Spur Department also relied on the help of the Ming Dynasty to complete the unification of the Tatar Department and the Uliangha Department.

Therefore, in Meng Fan's eyes, the Ming Dynasty's contempt and insult to the barbarians, as well as the constant provocation of Tusi disputes and unfair handling, were the fundamental reasons for their repeated rebellions!

Walking out of the Ministry of Rites, Shen Yichen looked at the afterglow of the setting sun, and his mood was a little heavy.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, but no one may have expected that it will go west in a few years.

On August 22, both sides of Andingmen Street were already full of military service to maintain order, and countless people in Beijing were looking forward to witnessing the moment of the barbarian's defeat!

You must know that since the first conquest of Luchuan by Mu Sheng, the prince of Qianguo in the third year of orthodoxy, seven years have passed now, and the Ming Dynasty has spent countless financial, material, and military resources to fill the border land of Luchuan in the southwest.

even hit the anger and resentment of the back, represented by He Wenyuan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and Liu Qiu, a scholar from Hanlin, who opposed the continued conquest of Luchuan, so that the Ming army and civilians could recuperate.

Regarding this viewpoint, the cabinet "Sanyang" also has a sustained attitude, and it is not appropriate to raise swords again.

However, during the Orthodox Dynasty, many princes led by the British Duke Zhang Fu, coupled with Wang Zhen and Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department, could not compete.

The final result was that Ming Yingzong agreed to the requisition, and He Wenyuan, the main force of the anti-war faction, was arrested and imprisoned for improper discussion, and later returned from illness.

Liu Qiu, another main anti-war faction, ended up even more tragic, Shangshu also offended Wang Zhen, and was dismembered and died in prison.

For the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, they are looking forward to the barbarian lord so much, on the one hand, they are happy that the court has won the battle and raised the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, the war is over, and everyone can finally live a peaceful life without worrying about being taxed and reinforced.

At this time, on the top of the Andingmen Tower, there was a row of scarlet robes, except for the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Taichang Temple, which were in charge of etiquette. There are also officials from the Ministry of War, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, etc., who will deal with the follow-up review and questioning links.

It's just that among the scarlet robes, there is a blue-robed official uniform, which looks very eye-catching, and he is still standing in the center!

"Who is that young official in the middle, even Zhu Yi has to give way to him?"

"You don't even know that? Sanyuan and the first champion duke, Shen Yichen, the special envoy of the Son of Heaven! ”

"It turned out to be Shen Zhuangyuan, no wonder there is such a holy family as the envoy of the Son of Heaven."

"Of course, he has to serve as the leader of the three yuan and the sixth yuan, which is a symbol of the prosperity of my great literary style. Isn't it just right to warn the sinful barbarians to be enlightened by the sages? ”

"It makes sense, there is indeed no one more suitable for educating barbarians than Shen Zhuangyuan."

The people of Beijing talked a lot, but the officials of the various temples on the city tower looked into the distance without smiling, waiting for the beggars from the southwest to descend into the tribute procession.

I don't know how long later, on the distant horizon, flags appeared. At the same time, the sky was full of dust, and the armor of the Ming army was shining under the sunlight, reflecting the cold light of the stars.

"Shen Xiu, the begging team has arrived, and it is now the city tower."

An official of Honglu Temple saw the team escorting the Luchuan barbarians appear, and reminded Shen Yichen.

"Hmm."

Shen Yichen nodded, then turned around and walked towards the bottom of the city tower, followed by a group of high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

Looking at Shen Yichen's calm back, Jin Lian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said to Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites beside him: "Uncle Zong, this son has no stage fright when he presides over the ceremony for the first time, and he is calm and moderate, and he really has a dusty appearance. ”

"This official recently heard that Wang Zhen has a gap with him, can you consider taking this opportunity to win over again, so that this talent can't be used by us, it's a pity."

In order to warn Shen Yichen, Wang Zhen directly blocked the tripartite news of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and internal officials, and it was impossible for such a big deal to hide from everyone.

Although the civilian clique did not understand the reason for Wang Zhen's actions, it was enough to surmise that there was a problem in his relationship with Shen Yichen.

If there is a suspicion, it means that there is a loophole, and Shen Yichen's talent and learning ability is second to none among the younger generations of literati, not to mention that there are also Cheng Guogong and other honorable relatives standing behind him.

If he can make good use of this gap to make Shen Yichen change his ways, or further join forces with civil officials and Xun Qi, it will not be so easy for Wang Zhen to continue the eunuch dictatorship.

Hearing Jin Lian's words, Hu Hu just smiled faintly and said: "Da Sikou, Shen Yichen's son is far more complicated than you think, even if he and Wang Zhen are not all the way, they may not be the same as us." ”

Jin Lian was born as a science and technology official, and his career was basically an inspector outside, and he was called back to Beijing after eight years of orthodoxy and was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department. It can be said that he is not very good at deceitful in the court, and he is far inferior to Hu Hui, a veteran of the Five Dynasties.

In the past, Hu Hu only regarded Shen Yichen as a potential junior, and if he didn't succeed, he would change to another one, the imperial examination system could provide a steady stream of new forces, and there was no shortage of talented people in this world.

But now he found that he couldn't understand Shen Yichen more and more, and he neither took refuge in the civil officials, but in fact did not attach himself to the eunuchs. Even the family members, this kid has never been included in the genealogy.

If you can't figure out the hole cards, you can't give chips, and Jin Lian thinks it's too simple.

"Then Shen Yichen is not the eldest son of the prince of Chengguo, there is no possibility of attacking the lord, which way can he go?"

Jin Lian couldn't figure it out, so he asked rhetorically.

"That's the answer I want to know."

With that, Hu Hu paced forward.

He is not an impulsive person, and he will not act rashly without absolute certainty.

And the situation is far from being as disadvantageous as thought, Wang Zhen is now in power, yes, but the eunuchs can only fight for a moment after all, and in the long run, the scholars and the Son of Heaven will rule the world together!

Reserve forces He Pingyan, Yang Hongze and others all successfully entered the Hanlin Academy, and the backbone Cao Nai and Chen Xunju were cabinet ministers.

The top-level official Yang Ge is still there, and the ministers of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Chief of the Criminal Department are all his own people, and the chief officials of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were bought by Wang Zhen.

Moreover, Xu Xi's health has deteriorated in the letter of the Ministry of War, and he has returned to his hometown to beg for the remains of the emperor, and his successor, Kuang Yu, the squire of the Ministry of War, is also his own person.

At least at this stage of the decade of orthodoxy, Hu Hu felt that the situation could still be contended, and Shen Yichen could not become the key point.

At this time, under the tower of Andingmen, the surrender table has been placed, and there are also large groups of soldiers and horses on both sides, ready to show the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty to the barbarian Fanbang.

With the heat wave and dust, the Ming officers and soldiers escorted hundreds of Sirenfa and Sijifa wives and children brought back from Myanmar, and lined up in front of Shen Yichen.

Meng Fan, who was standing behind Shen Yichen as an interpreter, looked at the relatives and tribes in front of him, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, and his body trembled uncontrollably because he wanted to restrain his surging emotions.

At this time, a strong man wearing heavy armor and a beard knelt in front of Shen Yichen with a wooden box in his hand and said: "Xiaguan Lake Guangdu Si Wuchang Wei Qianhu Wang Zheng, escort the barbarian thief to the first Chi Jingshi, and hope that the special envoy of the Son of Heaven will inspect it!" ”

After that, the officer of the Thousand Households of the Guard opened the wooden box in his hand, and there was a human head in it!

To tell the truth, Shen Yichen has never seen a decapitated human head in his two lives, especially in order to prevent rot on the road, this head on the neck of Si Renfa has also been "pickled" with lime, salt, spices and other ancient antiseptic methods, and the skin is a strange blue-gray color.

And because of dehydration, the skin on his face has atrophied severely, and there is no way for the eyelids to be confined, and the two black holes are looking at Shen Yichen directly, with an indescribable psychological impact!

At this moment, Shen Yichen instinctively wanted to look away, and at the same time, his stomach was tumbling. But he resisted all kinds of physical and psychological discomfort, and always kept his expression as usual.

Because at this moment, he not only represents himself, but also represents the majesty of Daming!

The central civil officials of the dignified empire are so cowardly and cowardly, how can they make the southwestern barbarians fearful and how to convince the frontier warriors?

Meng Fan looked at his grandfather's leader in the wooden box, and he couldn't help but think of the scene under Cheng Huan's knees when he was a child, but now goodbye is life and death.

What's even more ridiculous is that he is still on the side of the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, watching his relatives and friends being humiliated.

If you don't take revenge, you will be a grandson in vain!

"Very good, this is the fate of those who are not subordinate to me!"

Shen Yichen was expressionless, and said with great iron.

As soon as these words came out, both the soldiers and officials present looked at Shen Yichen with surprised eyes.

Because according to the normal process of surrendering, what Shen Yichen said was basically fixed. Even if you want to warn the barbarians, you should use the kind of disobedience to the king, rather than being so straightforward.

For these surprised eyes, Shen Yichen directly chose to ignore them. It's not that he doesn't know how to say the set of "Zhihu also", on the contrary, as a literati who has achieved the pinnacle of fame, Shen Yichen can say that he is very slippery.

But the set of "Zhihu also" is not for the barbarians, not even for the Ming soldiers, but for this group of civilian officials who don't even know what the battlefield looks like!

With the literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty today, how many soldiers can understand it?

Although the officials present were surprised that Shen Yichen did not follow the script, they still had to follow the process, so the ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple announced the next step.

"Captured, prisoners, etc., sacrificed in front of the case!"

Soon, the wives and children of Si Renfa and Si Ji Fa were escorted to the table, and then they knelt down facing the north, representing their submission to the Ming Emperor.

"Hand over the prisoners to the Officers of the Criminal Department!"

Shen Yichen is the special envoy of the Son of Heaven, this sentence represents the emperor's holy edict, and Jin Lian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came out of the queue after hearing it, and came to the desk to kneel down and receive the decree!

"Minister, obey!"

As soon as the words fell, the personnel of the military department and the criminal department who had been waiting for a long time took the Luchuan prisoners from the border soldiers, put them in shackles and escorted them to the prison of the criminal department, waiting for the emperor's decree to punish them.

"Luchuan sinners beg to surrender!"

The ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple shouted again, and a group of Luchuan tribes wearing exotic costumes knelt down in front of Shen Yichen.

These people were not captured during the war, but were Sijifa, who was hiding in Burma, and sent a tribute and begging mission to the imperial court.

The leader is Dao Mengyong, the leader of Luchuan, who is prostrate on the ground, tearfully telling the words of begging in the barbarian language. At the same time, Meng Fan, who was standing behind Shen Yichen, translated it into Chinese word by word.

The content is probably to describe Luchuan and his own miserable situation, thinking that he has "fled to death without a land", only wants to "beg for the rest of his life", and has no rebellious heart.

The words were extremely humble and subservient, which made all the Ming officials present satisfied. This is the performance that barbarians should have, and in the future, they will preach education and follow the way of Yao Shun, and this matter will pass.

But when Dao Mengyong finished begging for mercy, Shen Yichen did not ask him to kowtow on behalf of the Son of Heaven to thank him, but stood indifferently and said nothing.

This scene made the ceremonial officials a little puzzled, theoretically in order to show the generosity of the Heavenly Empire, Shen Yichen should say some sage edifying words. What's more, they will also say some words of comfort and comfort, showing the benevolence and righteousness of the king.

Shen Yichen didn't say a word, why is this?

The ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple estimated that it might be the first time Shen Yichen had handled this matter, and he didn't know how to pick it up this time.

So he came behind him and reminded him quietly: "Shen Xiu, you should let the beggar envoy kowtow and thank you." ”

Listening to the words of the ceremonial officer, Shen Yichen was unmoved, but asked Dao Mengyong, the leader of Luchuan in front of him: "You waited for Hongwu to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth year of the Ming Dynasty and set up the Ping-Burma Propaganda Division. ”

Probably feeling that Shen Yichen's tone was not good, this Dao Meng Yong stammered and said: "Returning to the angel, the lower official knows a little Chinese." ”

"As long as you can understand it."

"Since Sijifa sincerely begs to confess his guilt, why didn't I personally go to Beijing to apologize to the Son of Heaven, is there no other heart?"

The begging table can be said to be written with deep affection, and Dao Mengyong's tearful performance can also be worthy of the actor's qualifications.

But the premise of all this sincerity is based on the fact that the leader of Luchuan, Sijifa, personally apologized for his sins. A traitor is now hiding everywhere and waiting for a comeback, what is the credibility of the so-called tribute and begging?

Facing Shen Yichen's inquiry and sharp gaze, Dao Mengyong trembled, he never expected such a scene.

You must know that Luchuan is not the first time to play this trick, counting the failed conquest of Mu Sheng, the original Duke of Qianguo, now it can be called the "Three Expeditions to Luchuan".

The result? If you lose, you will admit your guilt, let the Ming Dynasty gain face, and then accumulate strength to make a comeback, and if you lose again, repeat the above steps again.

Such repeated horizontal jumps, but the Confucian officials of the Ming Dynasty ate this set. thinks that every time the other party begs and surrenders, it is a merit of preaching sanctification, and does not consider how many people will die in the border war and how much money will be burned!

When the situation was eroded and felt that it could not be stopped, he said that it was "a small land in the south" and that it would not be fought, and the rebel forces of the separatist territory would grow.

This is the thinking of the "inner saint and outer king" of the Daming civil official group!

Shen Yichen doesn't care about these so-called false name education, if Luchuan really wants to beg and surrender, the leader Sijifa will go to Beijing to apologize, otherwise no matter how much he says, it will be fake.

"The consolation makes you afraid of Tianwei, and you are seriously ill, you really can't go to Beijing, and you hope that the angels will forgive your sins!"

Dao Mengyong replied with a set of rhetoric, in fact, this is not a new thing, orthodoxy for three years, orthodoxy for five years, and orthodoxy for eight years......

It's like a menstrual patch, and I say it every time I go to Luchuan.

Of course, Shen Yichen ignored this kind of rhetoric, and just when he was about to continue to threaten, Hu Hui coughed and said, "Shen Xiu, Ruyi!" ”

Obviously, Shen Yichen was only an envoy of the Son of Heaven, not an emperor. He can only symbolically accept Luchuan's begging on behalf of the emperor, and he can't make any decisions, this coercion has gone beyond the norm!

Ming Xuanzong's reminder to the five ministers of Gu Gu, Shen Yichen couldn't ignore it, he took a deep breath and said, "Kowtow and thank you!" ”

But Shen Yichen's words were moved by the expressions on his faces when he heard the ears of the soldiers present.

Because this is what the frontier soldiers really want to surrender, not wait a few years and then be called up to fight bloody battles in the southwestern frontier.

Came to the battlefield, and no one returned!

Especially in the southwest environment, even if you don't die in battle, you can easily get sick and die of miasma, dampness and heat.

This is why the Ming and Qing dynasties conquered the border in the south, and most of them suffered heavy losses, not to say how strong the enemy's force was, but that the medical logistics in ancient times could not guarantee the army to fight in the primeval forest.

Dao Mengyong and other Luchuan envoys, the north desk seat five bows and three bows, and at the same time the sound of Taichang Temple ritual music sounded.

The end of the ceremony means that the whole surrender ceremony is over.

However, Shen Yichen did not turn around and walk towards the city tower, but walked in front of the escorted soldiers step by step, and said movingly towards them: "You soldiers have worked hard, how fortunate the Ming is to have such brave warriors, and the achievements of opening up the territory will be remembered by all generations." ”

"Shen Yichen is here on behalf of the Son of Heaven and all the people, to express his gratitude to all the soldiers, all the monarchs are righteous and martial, and those who jump off the beam will be killed even if they are strong!"

"Glory to the Ming!"

After all, Shen Yichen still didn't hold back his inner emotions, and walked in front of this group of guards to express his gratitude.

You must know that before the surrender ceremony was held, this group of soldiers had been repairing in the post station for a day, trying their best to show their good military appearance and posture in front of the ministers of the Beijing Division.

But Shen Yichen still saw the damage on the battle armor, the blood stains on the weapon, the scars on the arm, and the face full of haggard vicissitudes!

In the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Luchuan, most of them were recruited from all over the country, except for the local guards. The warriors of Chuangui, Huguang, Yingtian, and even the nine sides of the north traveled thousands of miles to Luchuan for bloody battles.

Especially in front of them, in order to capture the rebel leaders, orthodoxy went out with Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji for six years, and orthodoxy did not return to the dynasty for nine years. It wasn't until Burma was willing to hand over Sirenfa that they were able to withdraw their troops.

The four years of perseverance proved the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, and also proved the courage and good fighting of the Ming soldiers.

They deserve this thanks.

It's just that Shen Yichen's words came too suddenly, so that the soldiers couldn't digest it for a while.

You must know that although the status of military generals is not as good as that of dogs in the late Ming Dynasty, the trend of being noble and light on military is already obvious.

Even military generals are not respected, and ordinary soldiers are even regarded as dogs!

They never thought that there would be civil officials to praise and thank them, let alone that this person was a dignified prince and a special envoy of the Son of Heaven.

After being silent for a long time, Wang Zhen of Qianhu reacted, and he shouted a battle cry of the Ming army: "Da Ming! ”

Thousands of soldiers of the Southern Expedition also understood that this was the recognition and respect that Shen Yichen gave them.

Many of them had red eyes, and they slammed their weapons against their shields and armor, making the sound of soldiers, and then shouted in unison.

"Da Ming! Da Ming! Da Ming! ”
