First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 79

The next day, Zhu Biao led Liu Jin back to the palace, leaving Quan Xu behind and letting him show Mu Ying a three-stage strike.

It was the time of the court meeting, and when Zhu Biao arrived at the entrance of Fengtian Palace, someone entered the hall to announce, and after a while, the eunuch came out and shouted: "General Xuan Tiance enters the hall!"

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly. In fact, it was announced that he could be either a Crown Prince or an Admiral Tian Ce, but the two identities were completely different.

As soon as Zhu Biao stroked the arm armor, he stepped directly into the hall. The golden red iron armor exuded a compelling majesty under the sunlight.

When Zhu Biao stepped into Fengtian Hall, the officials at the end all bowed slightly and clasped their fists. With the crisp sound of the iron armor rubbing, everyone's attention was attracted.

Zhu Biao passed Li Shanchang and Xu Da to the front of the imperial palace, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general sees His Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Jin An!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing a vermilion dragon robe, said with a smile: "Our Admiral Tiance is back, but I have something to report!"

Zhu Biao said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, our 20 army of Ming Dynasty is ready to go, and we vow to recover the lost land. I have come to ask Your Majesty for an imperial edict!"

The prime minister, Li Shanchang, stepped out of the crowd and said, "General Tiance is talented and talented in both civil and military affairs. It is my great fortune to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun for my Ming Dynasty. The minister asks Your Majesty to decree to go on an expedition!"

Xu Da also followed up: "The remnants of the Northern Yuan are still eyeing the Shuntian Prefecture, and the prince of the Northern Yuan, Bo'er Zhijin·Aiyoushilitra, has assembled [-] iron horses to ride on Yingzhou.

Afterwards, the Ministry of War and the censors also expressed their positions. Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to the opinions of both the military and the government, and then directly ordered: "If this is the case, then hold an oath ceremony three days later, and then Admiral Tiance will lead the army to expedition!"

Zhu Biao bowed his head solemnly to express his order, but the Minister of Rites came out and asked to prepare the sacrificial ceremony before the expedition.

The major events of the country, in the sacrificial and the military, the power and ritual of sacrificing have been passed down to the present, not only sacrificing the emperor, the gods, the ancestors, but also the tooth flag, but also the six temples, building altars, hanging curtains, setting flags, and gods. Position, dig the ridge and bury the barn.

These were unavoidable, and Zhu Yuanzhang could only agree and instruct the Ministry of Rites to prepare immediately.

Then went to court, Zhu Biao did not talk to the ministers, and went directly to the imperial study.

Zhu Biao saw his father halfway there, sitting in a pavilion frowning.

Zhu Biao walked up with a smile and said, "Why are you still frowning, are you worried about Erchen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about it, you don't know how troublesome the sacrifice is, and we have to go there in person. Don't think about taking a rest these few days."

Zhu Biao said with a smile, "Then who made you the dignified son of a country's king, how can anyone else have the qualifications to worship the gods and ancestors of the emperor, the emperor and the queen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his relaxed son and said: "You are the prince and the general of the army, do you think you can escape? The emperor does not need you to sacrifice now, but sacrifices to ancestors, tooth flags, Liu Yu, and the god of war. Don't you have to worship?"

The smile on Zhu Biao's face stagnated, he thought that these were the emperor's sacrifices!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his son and said, "Go, change into light clothes, or you won't be able to endure the expedition. In the afternoon, you will go kowtow to your ancestors with me, and go to Zijin Mountain to worship tomorrow."

Zhu Biao reluctantly returned to the East Palace. After changing his clothes, he immediately went to Kunning Palace to see his mother. After listening to his mother's instructions in a daze, he returned to the East Palace with the clothes that Queen Ma had made by one stitch.

Since then, there has been no rest. The sacrifice ceremony is solemn and cumbersome, and there can be no mistakes or omissions. The father and son of the Zhu family are tired enough.

Finally, when it was time to take the oath and set off, Zhu Yuanzhang did not come, but the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty did come together. Zhu Biao stood on a stable high platform, overlooking the endless sea of ​​people.

Zhu Biao's exhaustion in the past few days was swept away, his blood was surging, and he felt that his whole body was swelling, as if his body was much taller out of thin air.

He doesn't even know what his mood is now, he just looks greedily at the neat army formation below, the flags are rustling, and the sound of people screaming and neighing can be heard incessantly!

Zhu Biao slowly let out a breath and his face calmed down. He held the hilt at his waist with his right hand and looked up at the vast sky, but he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Zhu Biao felt a strange smell in the air. It was a very special smell, not the smell of sweat, not the feces of livestock, nor the smell of burning gunpowder, but it was inexplicably sour.

Zhu Biao calmed down, pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed to the sky. With the shouts of the captains, the entire school ground could only hear the rustling of the flags blown by the wind and the neighing of the horses. ll.

Zhu Biao walked two steps forward to the edge of the high platform, and looked at the quiet army with a calm expression.

Zhu Biao laughed in satisfaction, and then began to shout out the Northern Expedition: "Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, and they have all lived in China to control the barbarians, and barbarians lived outside to serve China, and I have never heard that barbarians lived in China to rule the world. Since Song Zuo has moved, the northern barbarians from the Yuan Dynasty have entered China, and within the four seas, they will not surrender!"

"My emperor is a commoner, rises up his army, swept across the Central Plains and the northern expeditions of the barbarians, expelled the barbarians, restored China, established guidelines and disciplines, rescued the people, established the Ming Dynasty, and restored our Han people's rivers and mountains!"

"Today, Beiyi still occupies our homeland of China, and the gods and the people are indignant. As the prince of the royal family, he was ordered by Heaven to expedition the Yidi in the north. !"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he silently waited for his will to spread throughout the army. The soldiers who could hear his voice would convey his words down one level at a time. Of course, his words were not more than that. In order to listen to the soldiers, they don't have the ability to understand.

Before the expedition, the reward for killing the enemy and the material reward for the soldiers have been formulated. War mobilization is only a supplement, and it will not work without these actual rewards.

Before going out to battle, the colonel of each military camp will explain the reward method to his subordinates, for example, what is the reward for the first person to rush to the city wall; what is the reward for cutting off an enemy's head; what is the reward for cutting off the head of an enemy general What people reward and so on.

These reward and punishment systems are posted everywhere in the barracks with express regulations, and it is guaranteed that every soldier knows the content before going out.

After a while, someone in the army began to take the lead in shouting: "Daming Wansheng! Daming Wansheng! Daming Wansheng!"

As the atmosphere rose, the number of people shouting Wan Sheng ranged from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and then to 20 people in the entire army shouting Wan Sheng in unison!

Zhu Biao tightly pursed the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and listened to the very penetrating voices. The 20 people shouted in unison, and felt his heart tremble.

Zhu Biao opened his eyes, waved his blue jade and climbed onto the high platform, waving a flag of the sun and the moon!
