"Your Majesty, I am glad that I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty uses his troops like a god, and I can't wait for any eventuality."
"I only know now that the best soldier in our Ming Dynasty is Your Majesty!"
"His Majesty is definitely the one with the best military skills among all emperors!"
"Your Majesty, with the guidance of your military skills, I have no fear of any foreign enemies. Even if their strength is several times ours, we are confident of defeating them!"
…
The generals praised him, Chongzhen looked as usual, but felt very embarrassed in his heart.
All he knows is theory, and if he is asked to lead the army, his secret will be exposed directly.
"Don't think that our Ming Dynasty's current firearms strength can overwhelm all foreign enemies. It is only compared to the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Forbidden Army.
It will take a long time for all the Ming Dynasty guards to be equipped with such firearms and to form combat capabilities. What if the enemy concentrates their firearms to attack a county? Isn’t this useful? "
"Okay, I have said so much. Whether it is correct or not, it needs to be used flexibly in war. You can sort it out later, then conduct deductions and improvements, and it will become a required course for senior military officers.
Finally, I would like to say one more thing: you must remember to learn war in war.
Although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. You must not relax at any time and be always prepared to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies! "
Having said this, a familiar melody suddenly flashed through Chongzhen's mind, and he was stunned on the spot!
Shhh…
Seeing that the emperor was stunned on the spot, Yuan Keli, who was the first to discover the clues, gestured towards the generals.
The generals who were talking in low voices immediately fell silent and controlled their breathing.
Yuan Keli's eyes were full of expectation. He knew the emperor very well. This situation proved that the emperor had some insights, but he didn't know which aspect.
After about half a stick of incense, Chongzhen came back to his senses and saw everyone looking at him with curiosity. He chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I suddenly got inspired and wrote a military song for the army!"
Military song?
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, the eyes of the generals suddenly lit up and their breathing became rapid.
The emperor has written a total of two songs so far, one is "The Boy of the Ming Dynasty" written for the Jiangwu Hall, and the other is the military song of the Ming Dynasty "The Man of the Ming Dynasty".
After the Ming Dynasty Youth Theory came out, it quickly spread throughout the Ming Dynasty through the Ming Dynasty Daily, and countless children were inspired by it.
The children have found their own path in the future. They are no longer naughty, no longer living day to day, no longer complain, they start working hard.
As the saying goes, a song wakes up a person in a dream, so that's probably it.
The military song "The Man of the Ming Dynasty" has resounded throughout the city of Beijing since the northern army left Beijing, and it swept through the entire Ming Dynasty like a prairie fire.
Every morning at dawn, this war song of the Ming Dynasty rang out in the place where the guard station was stationed.
The sergeants no longer complained about the hard work of training, no longer cheated, and trained hard.
Just for that Ming Dynasty man, he should hold up the sky with one hand.
Winds, tigers, clouds and dragons, all nations come together, I am the proud son of heaven.
As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is their mission to unite all nations.
The singing of this military song greatly improved the morale of the soldiers. It is no exaggeration to say that the combat power increased by at least 20%.
Of course, this is based on the emperor's series of reforms and emphasis on the army.
The appearance of these two songs gave them a thorough understanding. Marching and fighting, boosting morale, and rallying people's hearts are not just about some policies to benefit the people, reward silver, and promotion of officers and nobles, war songs can also be used.
Now the emperor said he had written another song, and they were very excited.
Zhang Weixian suppressed his excitement and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to call the musicians over?"
"No, I still need to polish the lyrics. I will hand it over to Xiao Cao later, and Xiao Cao will be responsible for handing it over to the warrior camp, and then we can sing it! Now let's finish the tour of Shanhaiguan!"
The military song of later generations is an extremely magical existence. After the chorus, the accompaniment is redundant.
Accompanied by the generals, Chongzhen walked around Guancheng, experienced the seven-city chain, and only after the Great Wall penetrated the military city defense system did he return to the Jinglue Mansion with unfulfilled interest.
Speaking of which, this was his first comprehensive and serious understanding of ancient city defense.
Shanhaiguan is worthy of the title of the first pass in the world. It is really majestic and majestic.
After returning to the Jinglue Mansion, Chongzhen took up his pen and wrote the six characters "When that day comes" on rice paper.
It's a clear morning,
The dove whistle accompanies the wake-up call,
But the world is not peaceful
Even in peaceful times there are turbulent storms;
are you ready
Brothers soldiers!
…
Maybe it's too late to say goodbye to your loved ones
I will march forward bravely for the sake of my motherland!
Chongzhen was humming while writing. Although this military song was a required song for military training and the lyrics were simple, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to write it.
The fleet in the lyrics was changed to the army, and the last repeated "Don't worry about the motherland, don't worry about the relatives" was changed to "Maybe it's too late, farewell to the relatives", which is more 'sensational'.
As for the word motherland, he did not change it to Ming Dynasty or Huaxia.
The motherland has two meanings, one is the place where the ancestors have lived, and the other is the country where the ancestors and one's own nationality live together.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty will continue to expand, and the number of ethnic groups will increase. The Ming Dynasty and Huaxia will be cramped, and it will even create a kind of xenophobic sentiment among the ethnic groups in the newly added territories.
As for the straightforward lyrics, it is far less straightforward than those folk songs and folk songs. Those folk songs are described as rushing and heroic, and those who listen to the straightforward words will blush.
"Come here, it's said that Cao turned into a dragon and came to see me!"
After reconfirming the lyrics and melody, Cao Bianjiao was sent to Chongzhen.
Except for the two personal guards of the Fang family and Fang Jun, all the people in the Jinglue Mansion evacuated outside the mansion.
Without waiting for Cao Bianjiao to salute, Chongzhen handed over the paper with the lyrics on it: "Look at the lyrics first, and get familiar with them first!"
After taking the paper and reading the words, Cao was stunned.
Although the tunes of the first two songs of the Emperor are a bit weird, they are neatly contrasted, powerful and heroic.
Why are the lyrics of this song so vernacular now?
He didn't dare to ask more questions, but memorized it quickly. After reading it a few times, he remembered it.
Every time I read it, I feel that this word is very flavorful and contains infinite profound meaning.
"I will sing it once, and you will listen to it first, and then I will teach you a line, and you will sing a line..."
"I'm starting, it's a sunny morning..."
The sudden opening made Cao Bianjiao's hand shake slightly. If it weren't for the emperor in front of him, he would burst into laughter.
But as I listened, my whole body began to tremble, my scalp became numb, and goosebumps arose.
Unknowingly, his body stood upright, as if he was being inspected by the commander-in-chief and preparing to go to the battlefield.
He seemed to see countless soldiers training hard day after day, just to be able to go to the battlefield at any time to protect their homes and country when a foreign enemy invades.
Although the words are long, they are all repetitive and the tune is the same. Cao Bianjiao learned it after a quarter of an hour.
Over and over again, the song becomes more catchy and addictive.
After singing it a full twenty times and confirming that there was no problem, Cao Bianjiao stopped, his throat almost starting to smoke.
"Your Majesty, this military song is so good, it will definitely cause a sensation among the millions of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Haha... That will happen in the future. You first go to the British Duke and print out thousands of copies of this word. Everyone in the army with a small flag or above will have a copy.
Then he taught the sergeants in the Warrior Battalion and asked them to be responsible for handing over to the thousands of households in each army. "
