"Deputy Commander Zhao, didn't His Majesty say that we are responsible for training and martial arts? What is going on? It looks like there is going to be a war!"
"have no idea!"
Zhao Lingjiao also had a puzzled look on his face. Looking at the endless army, he made a rough estimate and found that it was at least 100,000 people.
"We should be going to fight the Mongolian tribes!"
Without waiting for He Kegang to continue asking, Zhao Lijiao continued: "This is the official way to Xuanfu. Outside Xuanfu is the grassland.
In the last siege, various Mongolian tribes also participated. The imperial court was trying to establish its authority, but it didn't know which tribe was attacked first! "
"Except for establishing slaves, no matter which tribe they are from, they will all be maimed when they encounter these 100,000 troops!"
"indeed so!"
After more than ten days of training and martial arts performances, whether it was the Tengxiang Four Guards or the Forbidden Army, apart from their weakened fighting spirit,
Their energy, spirit, and combat prowess are on par with the elites of Ningyuan City. If they can use firearms, their combat prowess will be even stronger.
Because of preparations in advance, the military supplies and fodder had been transported, and the army marched very fast. In just three days, the army had arrived at Xuanfu Town and was stationed at the school field outside Xuanfu.
"I...see your Majesty!"
Looking at the figure at the head of the lobby of the General Military Mansion, Man Gui was startled for a moment and immediately saluted. Then he looked at Sun Chengzong next to him, and a bold idea flashed through his mind.
"Your Majesty wants to lead the expedition in person?"
Man Gui shouted out loudly, and then his face changed, and his face was full of understanding.
That's right, now a massive amount of firearms and military supplies have been delivered to Xuanfu Town that frightened him, and now a hundred thousand troops and Guan Ning's cavalry are accompanying them. Apart from a personal expedition, it is impossible to have such a large battle.
"Man Ai Qing, I won't say more. Xuanfu Town and Beizhili Dusi are responsible for the logistics of this battle. You must ensure safety.
Secondly, we must prevent several tribes from the grasslands to the north and northeast of Xuanfu from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. If they come, just repel them, and then destroy them directly when the army turns around! "
"Also, you and Sun Aiqing will go see Zhao Shujiao and He Kegang later to do some ideological work and cheer them up!"
"I obey the decree!"
After explaining something, Sun Chengzong and Man Gui left together.
Early the next morning, 100,000 troops gathered in the school grounds. Chongzhen stood on the commander's platform and scanned the 100,000 troops.
At this moment, he is wearing a long body armor with two golden dragons coiled around it, a phoenix-winged helmet inlaid with the God of Six Armors on his head, and an Emperor's Sword inlaid with gold moiré patterns on his waist.
Under the sunlight, it's like the true god has descended.
The tens of thousands of troops in the school grounds looked at the people on the general stage, and they were all stunned. The entire Ming Dynasty dared to wear such a showy... gorgeous and noble military uniform. Who else besides the emperor?
What is the emperor doing here in his military uniform?
As soon as this question arose, Chongzhen's voice immediately sounded.
"Soldiers, I am here just to ask, when tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were fighting to the death with Jiannu at Longjing Pass,
Chahar Lindan Khan led his troops to raid Xuanfu and Datong, causing hundreds of soldiers to die in battle. As their brothers, what should we do? "
How to do it? This is a question worth thinking about.
After Tumubao, the Mongolian tribes began to humiliate the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years. The imperial court...
But before they could think clearly, more than a hundred soldiers roared at the top of their lungs.
"In the fifteenth year of Zhengtong, eight cities including Dushi were occupied by the captives, and all the border generals returned to the capital."
…
"In the third year of Tianshun, the captives came to Shaanxi. The generals were defeated. The captives reached Yanmen Pass, Dai, Shuo, and Xinzhou areas, and artillery fire penetrated the capital."
…
"In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the captives entered Kou Xuan's Mansion from Xinkai and arrived at Lutailing...8,000 soldiers died."
…
"In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing's reign, more than 10,000 men, women and children were plundered, and more than 10,000 horses, mules, oxen and donkeys were looted... More than 110 villages and fortresses were attacked, more than 8,000 people were killed, and 3,000 people were burned down. More than five hundred districts!”
…
"In the first year of Longqing, An Da led a large army to invade Jingping. The Shuozhou, Laoying, Piantou Pass, and Ming armies were all defeated...Longqing Peace Conference!"
"From the 15th year of Zhengtong to the first year of Longqing, a total of 118 years, the Mongolian tribes invaded the Ming Dynasty seventy-one times, plundering hundreds of thousands of our Ming people, killing millions of our soldiers and civilians, and destroying countless fertile fields and houses. …”
Hundreds of soldiers roared angrily, recounting the humiliation of the Ming Dynasty by the Mongolian tribes since the Tumubao Incident.
This is Beilu, and the police are always there!
Every one of them shook the minds of tens of thousands of sergeants on the campus.
From the calm at the beginning, to the turmoil in the heart, to the rising anger, to the overwhelming desire to fight.
If the emperor hadn't spoken out today, they might not have known that Ming Dynasty had endured so much humiliation.
The sergeants who were speaking stopped, and there was no other sound in the entire school except rapid breathing, but every sergeant's eyes were full of humiliation and fighting spirit!
"My attitude is very clear!"
"Fuck him!"
When tens of thousands of soldiers were staring at the commander's platform, Chongzhen suddenly roared angrily.
The vulgar words made all the sergeants stunned.
Is this what an emperor should say?
But they like it!
This roar seemed to be a signal, igniting the passion of the soldiers and causing all the soldiers to shout accordingly.
"Dry!"
"war!"
"kill!"
"Kill them!"
…
The roars of tens of thousands of soldiers resounded through the sky, exploding in the air, and the crowd was furious.
After a while, Chongzhen stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air. The roar slowly died down and finally became quiet, while Chongzhen drew out the Emperor's Sword.
"I am here just to conquer Chahar personally!"
"Last year, the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes allied forces invaded the Ming Dynasty, and I surrounded and killed them!"
"The Haraqin tribe used the road to build slaves, but I pushed down their Haraqin city!"
"Now Chahar takes the opportunity to attack Datong and Xuanfu, and treats the Ming Dynasty as nothing, then I will slaughter them!"
"After the Battle of Longjing Pass, Ming Dynasty has completely stood up. We have nothing to fear from anyone!"
"Anyway, I just say one word. From now on, if you dare to provoke Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will cripple them, and the humiliation of the past will no longer exist!"
"Those who offend my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"Whoever kills my brother Pao Ze will be killed no matter how strong he is!"
"Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, all soldiers who directly participated in the battle will be rewarded with three months' military pay, and all logistics sergeants will be rewarded with one month's military pay.
The remaining military achievements will be rewarded separately. As long as your military achievements are strong enough, I will not be stingy with gold, silver, jewels, high officials and generous salaries! "
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"The Ming Dynasty will win!"
"The Ming army is mighty!"
…
After Chongzhen's domineering declaration, tens of thousands of people in the school grounds roared in unison again.
Among the tens of thousands of sergeants, the Forbidden Army and the Four Tengxiang Guards were the emperor's own troops and obeyed the emperor's decisions unconditionally.
The sergeants in Xuanfu Town have all been reorganized. Under the training of famous generals such as Man Gui, they are naturally high in fighting spirit!
