May 18, the first year of China, Yangang.

A month after the passage of the bill, the enthusiasm of the citizens had been fully mobilized, and the factories and departments had adapted to the wartime situation.

After several exercises and a joint exercise, the soldiers have also adapted to the navigation of the ships, and have simulated the attack on the Ryukyus several times.

Yan Zheng judged the situation and issued a special decree of the monarch, requiring him to take the oath and set off on May 18th!

In the whole Yangang, at this moment, all kinds of slogans are flying all over the sky, the Xingsui flags are dense, and the military flags of each battalion are also particularly eye-catching, these military flags are the edge of the Xingsui Flag plus a white stripe, on which is written the XXX battalion of the Huaxia Army.

Several battalion commanders stood tall and tall, standing in front of the camp one by one, looking at the front of the stage with blazing eyes.

All the soldiers wore indigo uniforms, and on their heads they wore helmets made of rattan and iron sheets, with three pieces of cloth on them, which were pulled down to cover their faces from the sun.

He was wearing white summer cloth pants with gray leggings and a pair of green cloth leather shoes.

The bayonet on the gun was bright and dazzling, the bullet box was pinned to the belt, it looked simple and capable, and the dark faces were full of seriousness at the moment.

Whether it was an aboriginal or a Ming soldier, with or without a tattoo on their face, everyone understood that they were going to fight across the sea this time.

On the stage, the person in charge of the pledge was Yasan and the commander-in-chief of this expedition to the Ryukyus.

He wore the same uniform as a soldier, except that instead of a long rifle, he had a short flintlock pistol pinned to his waist, plus a saber that he carried cross-body.

The biggest difference was that on his chest, there was a piece of cloth with black letters on a white background, and it read: Interim Governor of the Task Force.

Looking at the dense slogans and flags, he couldn't stop being excited.

An San slowly raised his right arm and began to read according to the script: "All the soldiers of the Zhengliu Army!" The expedition is imminent, and we hereby swear an oath to the monarch! ”

Brush – All soldiers raise their right arms.

"We swear an oath to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and hard work in this battle!"

"We swear an oath to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and hard work in this battle!"

"Swear to the death to carry forward the style of being able to endure hardships, fight, and endure!"

"Vowing to the death and carrying forward the ...... that can endure hardships is especially able"

"Obey the commander, obey orders, and carry forward the heroic and tenacious will to fight!"

"Win glory for China, fight for the hometown fathers and elders......"

…………

"We solemnly swear to the monarch and the people that we will not break the Ryukyus and never return it!"

"We solemnly swear to the monarch and the people that we will not break the Ryukyus and never return it!"

The overwhelming oath echoed on the ground, and everyone present felt the determination of the battlefield to go on the battlefield.

As the manuscript was finished, Ansan put down his arm and brought over a large pottery bowl.

The platoon commander of each platoon also immediately carried the wine jar and poured bowls of wine for the soldiers.

Ansan also poured a bowl full of wine, and when everyone had served the wine, he shouted, "Dry! ”

Immediately, the whole camp was filled with soldiers drinking from the sea, and after drinking, the bowl was dropped!

"Let's go!"

After drinking the send-off wine and waving flags, the ships waiting in the harbor also began to blow the trumpet.

Columns of soldiers began to board the ship one by one, and the heavy weapons such as three-pound cannons and ten-pound cannons had already been put on board.

At the forefront were artillery men carrying rear-loading -75 guns, and the whole process was orderly.

To the rhythmic beat of the drums, the soldiers marched to the beat of the drums, and the ranks were very orderly.

The Ming immigrants who were arranged to see them off did not have such rich emotions, but the cadres in the quarantine area leaned forward one by one and kept waving their hands.

Second Aunt He burst into tears, and she was very reluctant to let these young men go, in her opinion, it might be difficult to cross the sea to beat people.

The trio of Tongsheng were also in the procession of seeing them off, and the three of them looked at this scene and looked at each other one by one.

Sun Maodian looked at these soldiers and said with a wry smile: "How have you ever seen such an army before?" ”

Lin Hongde nodded and sighed: "It's a pity! This Eastern Qin attaches so much importance to martial artists, but he despises us and other literati a little. And what is the crime of the Ryukyus? actually led the Eastern Qin to send troops thousands of miles to attack? ”

Xiao Erlin glanced at him and said in a low voice: "This matter is not something we can do, these days, I think that the rules of the Eastern Qin Dynasty are also in line with the words of the Confucian sages." ”

"How so?" Sun Maodian asked.

Xiao Erlin pondered and said: "Isn't it benevolent to accept the victims, set laws in the name of the king, and demand that everyone be equal?" Using the constitution to stipulate the duties and powers of the monarch and dividing the three courts into three chambers so that they can perform their own duties is not the self-denial and revenge pursued by Confucius? In Eastern Qin, everyone can read and write, and everyone has the right to go to school.

At this moment, the dignified lord of the country can take the responsibility of bending his knees and not doing anything to the powerful, resolutely raise troops to defend the dignity of the country, and safeguard the power of his subjects not to bend his knees. In addition, Dongqin has no household registration, all walks of life are equal, and the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty came to the East Qin and could build a threshing machine, but what about the Ming Dynasty? These days, you have also seen what kind of virtue these merchants are for the sake of a threshing machine! ”

Lin Hongde shook his head and said, "But ...... But after all, if you don't study the Four Books and the Five Classics, and don't talk about the Confucian scriptures, shouldn't you be born with scholars and scholars to govern this world? If you don't share the world with scholars, can you share the world with civilians? ”

Sun Maodian nodded and said: "This matter cannot be concluded yet, the territory under the rule of Eastern Qin, but a corner, was only founded last year, it is difficult to say whether this set will work or not!" But since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, Confucianism has governed the world for thousands of years! The strength of the Han and Tang dynasties and the wealth of the Song Dynasty are all well documented! This all shows that practicing Confucianism and revitalizing Confucianism is the foundation of prosperity! ”

Xiao Erlin thought for a while and asked: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the feudal town at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Jingkang of the Song Dynasty, these are also the world under the rule of Confucianism!" ”

"The rise and fall of dynasties is the principle of heaven, how can a moment of chaos wipe out the achievements of thousands of years of famous religions?" Sun Maodian arched his hand.

Xiao Erlin was silent for a while, his heart was very chaotic for a while.

The main reason is that he has seen more and learned more, and he can't help but become interested in Yan Zheng's set, especially the Chinese Constitution, which he reads almost every day, and faintly peeks into something that he has not noticed before.

Lin Hongde sighed: "Let's still teach well, and the affairs of Dongqin are less involved!" This monarch cannot be reasoned with. ”

As the three of them spoke, almost all the soldiers had boarded the ship, and the ships in front of them had already sailed out of the port.

After Xiao Erlin watched it for a while, he retreated.

As he walked along the road, he thought about the scene of the expedition just now, and for some reason compared this army to the Ming army.

Compared with him, he was a little lower, and the guards he had seen were like beggars, which could be compared with the Eastern Qin soldiers in front of him.

Looking at the flag of the Chinese Kingdom fluttering in the distance, he let out a long sigh, in fact, he understood what the fear in his heart was.

This fear is shared by every Confucian student, that is, the Eastern Qin were not barbarians, and they seem to have found a new way to govern the country in an orderly manner.

But after careful study, Xiao Erlin felt that this kind of fear seemed ridiculous in Eastern Qin.

People have never used it at all, and they don't plan to use Confucianism, and even strictly ordered these Confucian students to shut up.

After returning to the bedroom, Xiao Erlin took off his tunic suit, and now he was very accustomed to Dong Qin's clothes.

Seeing this, the barbarian woman at home hurriedly hung up his clothes and brought a cup of tea, which was distributed.

looks dark, but the person is very diligent, and the new words are not good, so he obeys Xiao Erlin's words, and he also named her Yun Niang.

"Yun Niang, help me grind ink!" After sitting for a while, Xiao Erlin suddenly said.

Yun Niang was busy grinding the ink, and looked at Xiao Erlin with a smile while grinding the ink.

Xiao Erlin also smiled, picked up the bamboo pen and dipped it in ink to write, what he wrote: Chinese Constitutional Theory.
