The situation was so dilapidated, and each of these people was so excited that he really didn't know what to say.
And even this kind of kneeling and worshiping lasted for half a quarter of an hour under Zhu Changwu's watchful eyes. Gradually, the people became less excited. After Chongzhen's arms were also lowered, he thought What? He said to Zhu Changwu who had been standing aside for a long time: "Zhu Aiqing, you can move on to the next step."
"Yes." In front of so many people, Zhu Changwu didn't say anything more, but nodded. With a move of his right hand, a simple large trumpet was held in his hand, and the sound of shouting spread out. , "The inspection ceremony of the triumphal army of the Ming Dynasty's capital city has officially begun. The first step is to enter the city to present a gift!"
Under Zhu Changwu's intention, the thick voice spread far away, followed by the first team entering the city headed by Wu Linzheng who had been waiting for a long time. When the shouts fell, they began to step forward in unison, starting from Guangning. Walking slowly toward the inner city from outside the door.
There is no musical accompaniment, and there is no band to cooperate with, giving people a dry feeling. But when the three thousand Ming troops entered the field with relatively orderly steps, their momentum was still astonishing.
Everything is the same, as long as there are too many, it will appear to be very large-scale and shocking.
Three thousand foot soldiers marched into the square. Even though their uniforms were the same, they still had a sense of imagery. But what attracts more attention is the blood stained on the soldiers' uniforms and jackets, as well as the bloody ears hanging on their bodies.
Ears are military merit, which Li Xiang had just publicized by the Jin Yiwei. It's one thing to hear about it, but it's another thing to see it with your own eyes.
Especially when the ears were separated from the head and stained with blood, many people quickly turned their heads away because of fear.
This scene was clearly seen by Zhu Changwu who was holding a loudspeaker, and he decided to say something.
In this way, the sound of the loudspeaker began to sound, "Fathers and fellow villagers, I know that everyone is kind at heart. They don't like fighting and killing, and they don't like war. However, whether the war will come or not will not be decided because of your preferences. But some people are greedy all their lives and always want to use force to make everyone surrender to them. Faced with such a warmonger, if we are more tolerant, he will get more and more aggressive. In the end, they will regard our kindness as easy to bully. They will become more and more ambitious until they no longer care about human life, until they will destroy our home."
"Folks, do you want to see that one day, your relatives and friends will lose their lives because of war? Do you want to see your women and children bullied by inhumane bandits? If this really becomes a fact , I’m afraid that at that time you will yell, or even curse loudly. But in that case, just by opening your mouth, you can make the enemy become kind, stop doing evil, and stop bullying us?"
"I'm here to tell you, absolutely not."
"To deal with enemies who have lost their humanity, the only thing we can do is to retaliate with tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and let them know that if they want to bully us, they will also have to pay the price, and they may even lose their lives. Only they are afraid, they Only then can they restrain themselves, then they can sit down and talk to us properly, only then can they truly correct their evil ways and return to the right path, and only then, as the Buddhists say, can they put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."
"Just yesterday, the intruder came. Yes, some people may say that it is a good thing that the intruder will not pay for the food when he comes. But I want to ask, whoever said this, please use your brain first. ? If they really don’t pay food, what will the intruders eat and drink? They are not saints. There is a saying that the wool comes from the sheep. In the end, after they have no food and drink, they will only attack everyone, and face the knife. The sword robber, if anyone dares to resist, he is really close to death."
When Zhu Changwu said this, he paused intentionally.
He did not expect that one speech could wake up all the people, but he could persuade one by one. He believes that as long as he is given more opportunities to speak in the future, he can always influence more people and eventually let everyone see the true face of the intruder.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, some people among the people already started talking about it.
Before, people had only heard the slogan of not paying for food when King Chuang came, and they felt pretty good at that time. But now that I think about it carefully, this is indeed illogical.
King Chuang's army is also a human being. He always needs to eat. If everyone doesn't pay for food, what will they eat?
Among the crowd, He Jin was also among them. In this moment, he only moved forward less than ten steps. There were too many people watching the excitement. Everyone was crowded together, making it very difficult to move forward.
He couldn't really cut with a swing of his sword. If that were the case, the old emperor of Chongzhen would definitely be the first to escape. I have no choice but to squeeze forward a little bit by relying on my strength.
But in the process of squeezing, hearing Zhu Changwu's words made him angry. His teeth were itching, but he had no choice. Without it, it would take a lot of effort to squeeze out the crowd.
He Jin could only secretly make up his mind. After killing the emperor, he would also kill the person who spoke and let him slander their Dashun army. Such people should die. Who told you Just talking nonsense.
Zhu Changwu didn't know that someone wanted to kill him, so he knew what he should say. A few bedbugs want to threaten him. He is not afraid of killing people, and he is even eager to do so.
After pausing for a few breaths to give the people time to discuss, he continued: "The Ming army just wanted to prevent thieves from entering the capital and threatening everyone's safety, so they took the initiative to attack and captured A great victory, and more than 35,000 enemies were killed at the cost of 200 self-inflicted wounds. The next step is for the brave soldiers to sacrifice their prisoners, which is also the time to sacrifice their ears. Now please supervise it together."
"By the way, I forgot to mention that I promised these soldiers before that as long as they kill one intruder, they can get one tael of silver. If they kill three people, they can not only get three taels of silver. If he is originally Ordinary soldiers can be promoted to corps commander because of this; if they kill five people, they can be directly promoted to corps commander..."
After Zhu Changwu briefly explained the reward mechanism, he nodded to Wu Linzheng, who was riding a horse and leading the team.
Wu Linzheng had been waiting for the order. When he saw this, he dismounted and stood up, came to a pile of wooden boxes and said: "Come on, line up and offer prisoners in exchange for silver and official positions."
With the general's order, the three thousand Ming troops lined up in five long queues. Six hundred people in front of each queue took off the ears hanging on their bodies.
Zhang Yi had already prepared tables and chairs, and also found some literate young eunuchs to take notes. Whenever someone takes out a pair of ears, they will immediately get one tael of cash, which can be exchanged on the spot without default.
The people stood around and watched layer by layer.
At first, I was a little uncomfortable seeing those bloody ears, but as time went by and I saw them more, I got used to them. The bold one was still helping count, with a look of envy in his eyes.
"Good guy, this man has six ears, which means he has killed three people. I'm afraid he will become a corps commander."
As soon as he exclaimed in exclamation, someone next to him immediately echoed, "Look, he got the title of captain of the corps. Oh my god, it's true."
"Hey, look at that, oh my God! That kid is so awesome, he even brought out ten ears. I'm afraid he will become a senior by now."
From this, the exclamations are rising one after another. Soon, Wu Linzheng's three thousand troops handed over all their ears, and an ear mountain was formed on the ground. Following Ji Jinkai's team into the square, the same prisoner presentation ceremony also attracted various exclamations.
Lou Heyang, who was wearing a female military uniform, rode out on a war horse. When she appeared, the exclamations were obviously stronger than before.
In this era, what is emphasized is that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. Female generals like Qin Liangyu are definitely rare.
Now, a female general appeared in front of them in real life, and she was still so young and beautiful. Especially the decent military uniform highlighted her perfect figure.
Beautiful things can always attract special attention. At this moment, everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on Lou Heyang.
At first, Lou Heyang was a little embarrassed when facing so many eyes. Until Zhu Changwu's voice came from the headset, "No need to be embarrassed, you just need to treat them as nothing, just show your best side. Tell you, don't let people look down on you." "
This tone of relief and excitement made Lou Heyang quickly become more generous. After all, she just didn't want Zhu Changwu to look down on her. She was very competitive at heart.
That is to say, Ji Jinkai is generous enough and has a gentle temper. If she were to be an ordinary man as her husband, she would have a headache.
The appearance of Lou Heyang made more young women in the crowd look envious.
Before, they only knew how to obey their parents at home, their husbands when they got married, and their children when they grow up. They had no autonomy at all. But now that they saw Lou Heyang, who was riding on a war horse and generously clasping his fists and saluting all around, it seemed that it had opened up a new world for them, and it also made them feel that they could do other things, such as How majestic it would be to be a hero like this female general who goes into battle to kill the enemy!
The appearance of Lou Heyang caused waves of discussion, but it did not affect the normal progress of the prisoner presentation ceremony. Then Hu Yunfeng and Liang Jun led their teams to the huge square.
At this time, you can tell who is the thief.
