"Two hundred and sixty years ago, Taizu raised an army in troubled times and fought from south to north, overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty and establishing the Ming Dynasty.
It gave the people who were struggling in war and famine a place to settle down.
Later, Taizu and Chengzu made thirteen northern expeditions to Mongolia, which gave the people of Ming Dynasty a peaceful living environment.
The southern Japanese and northern barbarians (the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty, Tatars and Oaras) continued to invade, causing countless harm to our Ming Dynasty.
And today, two hundred and sixty years later, we are under constant attack from the establishment slaves.
Today, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, with constant natural disasters, famine among the people, empty treasury, and invasion by foreign enemies. Although we face various difficulties, I still have a dream.
I dream that one day, the Ming Dynasty will be internally peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Children will have education, education will be taught, work will be paid, diseases will be treated, the elderly will be provided for, housing will be provided, and the weak will be supported.
I dream that one day, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be able to eat well, be clothed warmly, and have more than enough food and money at home;
I dream that one day, the Ming Dynasty’s iron cavalry will be able to crush the slaves, slaughter their species, and exterminate their clan;
I dream that one day, the Ming Dynasty’s cavalry will be able to conquer the surrounding areas, and let the Jiannu, Oara, Tatar and other tribes become my Ming Dynasty’s pasture.
Let Xibo and Tubo become the orchards of my Ming Dynasty,
Let Myanmar, Siam, and Annan become the granary of the Ming Dynasty,
Let the southeast coast become the fishing ground of our Ming Dynasty,
Let Fuso and other places become the mining areas of our Ming Dynasty.
In short, I want everyone in this Ming Dynasty to be like a gentleman, the country will be free of trouble, and the world will be righteous!
Soldiers, with this belief, we will work together, pray together, and fight together. In the future, everything I promise will definitely come true. "
Chongzhen's words were repeated loudly by the human loudspeakers on both sides.
Everyone who heard Chongzhen's words, whether they were military generals or civil servants, were filled with shock.
They did not expect that the young new emperor in front of them would have such great... ambitions.
These sounds very enthusiastic, but they ask themselves, can these really be achieved?
Putting aside everything else, if Jiannu is so powerful, can they really be turned into a pasture for the Ming Dynasty?
Looking at the silent soldiers, Chongzhen felt a little embarrassed.
I said it so passionately, why don't you guys give me some response? What does silence mean?
After a moment of silence, Chongzhen continued: "I know that it is difficult to do this with my Ming Dynasty's current strength.
But less than three months after I ascended the throne, I killed Wei Zhongxian and settled the party struggle. This was a good start.
Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.
The Thirteen Northern Expeditions of Taizu and Chengzu gave the Ming Dynasty decades or hundreds of years of stability, but they recovered and invaded again after recuperation.
Although I am young, I also know that cutting the weeds does not remove the roots, but the wind will blow and they will grow again.
If our generation does not fight, the next generation will still fight when faced with an invasion. How many people will die in the meantime?
The seven hatreds of building slaves and offering sacrifices to heaven and the endless attacks on the Jinning Defense Line are enough to prove that they are determined to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Are there not many soldiers who have died on the Jinning Defense Line in recent years?
The inhumane massacre and plunder of the Jian slaves, do you expect them to show mercy to our descendants?
It is better to expect them to be merciful than to expect yourself to beat them all.
Therefore, it is better to fight early than to fight late. After our generation has finished fighting, the next generation can rebuild. "
After Chongzhen's reminder, everyone suddenly woke up, and a different kind of aura quietly rose in the square in front of Chengtian Gate.
The eyes of all the white soldiers turned red. They had participated in the Battle of Saarhu and experienced the cruelty of war.
Hundreds of thousands of people were strangled together. Someone fell every moment, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
More than 2,000 of their comrades, brothers and fellow villagers remained on the battlefield forever, and more than 2,000 families were broken.
Without this pillar of support, the family would not be far apart.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow your Majesty, be a pawn in front of your Majesty's army, and establish slaves."
Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin suddenly stood up, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"Your Majesty, Qin Gongming, Qin Zuoming, and Qin Zuoming are willing to follow you!"
"good!"
Chongzhen shouted loudly: "When I, the emperor, go to war in person, I will remember what you said today."
"Soldiers, I ask you, for the sake of our Ming Dynasty, for the sake of our descendants, and for the sake of our Chinese people."
"Do you dare to fight?"
"Dare! Dare! Dare!"
Ma Xianglin and other generals took the lead in shouting, and the white-pole soldiers also followed suit.
"Would you like to fight?"
"May! May! May!"
"Can we fight?"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
In the end, not only the white pole soldiers, but also other people in front of Chengtian Gate started shouting.
Clang... clang...
Chongzhen pulled out the Emperor's Sword from his waist with his backhand, and the cold light reflected in the sunlight.
"Soldiers, when I have completely settled the party struggle, reorganized the pro-army, and trained the new army, I will definitely lead you to defeat the slave-building, kill, kill, kill..."
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The shouts of killing rose to the sky throughout Chengtianmen Square, echoing throughout the city of Beijing.
The Beijing army generals, Jin Yiwei, and the five-city patrol officers who were watching the ceremony were also infected and started to roar.
Although the British prince secretly lamented Chongzhen's naivety and youthfulness, he could only roar in this situation at this moment.
After shouting for a while, Chongzhen continued: "Soldiers, I have prepared good wine and meat for you. I will wait for you here. When you finish catching the rebels, you can eat meat and drink wine."
"Li Banghua and Fang Zhenghua, in cooperation with Marquis Zhongzhen, quickly arrested the people on the list and sent them to prison. I'm waiting for good news from you, go ahead!"
"I'm waiting for the order!"
After the three people received the order, groups of people headed to various parts of the city under the command of Li Banghua, and each group was accompanied by Jin Yiwei.
The sound of horses neighing, crying, and footsteps could be heard throughout the city of Beijing.
Looking at Qin Liangyu leaving, Chongzhen let out a sigh of relief.
Although the speech just now was a bit awkward and even a bit out of place, it was one of the ways to boost morale.
After today, what he said today will spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, along with the matter of the party struggle.
The combination of the two will arouse those who are loyal to the army and serve the country, and arouse the people's hope for the Ming Dynasty. This is the main purpose.
The arrest operation started at noon and lasted until Youshi. The prison was full.
In the end, we had to use the Criminal Department Supervisor, Supervisory Supervisor Supervisor, and Shuntian Mansion Prison, which was barely enough, and these were just military attachés.
The arrest process went very smoothly. Facing the murderous white pole soldiers and Jin Yiwei, the eunuchs showed no resistance at all.
In Chengtianmen Square, fires were lit one by one, and the aroma of meat filled the air. The white-poled soldiers split into two and ate the meat with big mouthfuls.
As a soldier at the lowest level, under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, although he was not hungry, it was really a luxury to eat meat with such a big mouth and enough to eat.
Chongzhen originally prepared wine, but was blocked by Qin Liangyu. He was afraid that drinking would cause trouble, so he only gave each person a bowl, and the rest would be rewarded in batches after they set up camp.
After walking around among the white pole soldiers, Chongzhen returned to a tent under Chengtianmen.
In the tent at this moment, there are Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi, Qin Gongming, Qin Zuoming, Qin Zuoming, Qin Yiming, accompanied by the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen, and the left minister of the Ministry of War Li Banghua.
Sitting at the same table for dinner with the emperor, accompanied by two princes, not to mention Ma Xianglin and other juniors, even Qin Liangyu was a little reserved.
Fortunately, the three people accompanying me are all experienced people and know a lot about military camp life.
Slowly everyone let go, chatting happily, and Chongzhen listened happily.
"Marquis Zhongzhen, you will be temporarily stationed at Chengtianmen Square tonight. We will make a decision on your stationing after tomorrow morning."
The reward banquet lasted until the end of the Haizheng period, and Chongzhen accompanied him until this moment before returning to Dongnuan Pavilion.
After washing his face with cold water, Chongzhen's spirit suddenly shook.
Now all the generals who should be arrested have been arrested. Although the civilian officials have not yet started arresting them, it is still a matter of order.
But the question now is, how to deal with these people?
Of course, killing is quick and easy, but half of the six ministers and nine ministers in the court are Wei Zhongxian's people. What should we do if we kill these empty positions? These are all important ministers of the fourth rank and above, and each of them affects the operation of the court.
"My lord, I would like to inform the loyal lord Qin Liangyu, the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the minister of household affairs Guo Yunhou, the left minister of the military department Li Banghua, and the cabinet minister Li Guopu to come to Dongnuang Pavilion at Maozheng time tomorrow morning. I have something to discuss."
"Also, tell Li Ruolian to print the words and two poems I said today. I want the whole city to see them tomorrow."
