Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 470
The next day is the day of departure.

Five thousand Qi's troops, five thousand Long Teng troops, and five thousand new troops gathered at the military academy grounds, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Zhu Youjian didn't bring the Shenji Battalion with him this time, and it didn't take that many troops to fight a small Batavia.

Early in the morning, Cao Zhengchun and Qinglong assembled two hundred Dongchang and Jinyiwei elites, and these people Zhu Youjian were bodyguards for this trip.

Since we have entered the era of hot weapons, no matter Jinyiwei or Dongchangxichang fanzi, they can all use various firearms proficiently, and they are no longer pure masters.

Zhu Youjian is wearing a big red dragon robe today, which makes his whole person look extraordinarily majestic. He doesn't need to fight in battle, and he doesn't need to wear armor at all.

"Your Majesty, the Commander of Jinyiwei envoys Qinglong and the governor of the East Factory Cao Zhengchun to ask for an audience."

"call"

The little eunuch Erxi came in to report, Zhu Youjian only said one word, and soon Qinglong and Cao Zhengchun walked into the hall.

"See Your Majesty"

Zhu Youjian raised his big hand slightly:

"Freedom of grace"

The two hurriedly thanked each other:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are ready, please give instructions."

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Let's go, go to the military academy field"

"According to the purpose"

Accompanied by Qinglong and Mrs. Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Youjian walked out of Qianqing Palace. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang guards were already waiting in front of the gate, and the group stepped on their horses and headed straight for the military academy grounds.

Before Zhu Youjian arrived, Qi Jiguang, the governor of the five armies, Zheng Chenggong, the governor of the navy, Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan, and Huang Degong had all rushed to the military academy grounds early.

The ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have all assembled at the military academy grounds. The emperor's imperial conquest, they will definitely see them off.

The soldiers have all changed into camouflage uniforms and bulletproof vests, with rifled guns on their backs, pistols and grenades hanging from their waists.

This is no longer the equipment of ordinary soldiers, it is almost comparable to special forces. Fifteen thousand soldiers lined up neatly and straightly on the school grounds.

All civil and military officials looked at the gate of the military academy with anticipation, they were waiting for the arrival of Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian.

"Da da da……"

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and a cavalry galloped over. On the horses were Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, who were wearing flying fish suits with embroidered spring knives on their waists and a rifled gun on their backs.

One Hundred Brocade Guards cleared the way in front, Zhu Youjian was in the middle, Cao Zhengchun and Qinglong were on the left and right to protect, and behind them was the One Hundred Dongchang Fanzi.

The entire formation is not only neat, the speed is almost the same, but also majestic, giving people a strong sense of shock.

The civil and military officials were just about to go forward to greet the holy driver, when there was a mighty shout. Although there were many people, the voice was very neat, as if a person shouted.

"His Majesty is here"

Before the words were finished, the cavalry team had already arrived in front of the officials, and Sun Chuanting hurriedly led the officials to bow to the ground:
"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian jumped off his horse and glanced at the crowd casually. Seeing that all the officials were almost there, he nodded:

"Everyone who loves you is free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

All the officials got up to make way for a passage, and Zhu Youjian, accompanied by Cao Zhengchun and Qinglong, slowly stepped onto the parade platform. Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and other generals also stepped onto the stage, standing respectfully behind Zhu Youjian.

Seeing the emperor ascend the high platform, the fifteen thousand elites under the stage put their right fists on their chests and bowed slightly to salute Zhu Youjian:
"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian raised his hands and said loudly:
"Soldiers, save yourself from courtesy."

The soldiers answered in unison:
"Long live my emperor Xie, long live, long live"

After the soldiers stood up straight, Zhu Youjian reached out and took out a loudspeaker. He wanted to mobilize before the battle:
"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, since I ascended the throne, there have been bandits everywhere, and the captives from the east have invaded my customs without any scruples, but they all fell under your guns in the end. The reunification of the Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who shed their blood and threw their heads. Are you Heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army is mighty."

Zhu Youjian raised his right hand and shouted to declare that the army is mighty, and the soldiers immediately shouted in unison:

"The mighty Ming army"

"The mighty Ming army"

The chief generals and civil and military officials standing behind Zhu Youjian were also infected by the passion of the officers and soldiers on the field, and they all shouted:

"The mighty Ming army"

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with the high morale of the soldiers on the field. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued:

"After the extermination of the bandits and the captivity of the East, the world was only temporarily at peace. With the opening of the era of great navigation, the Westerners drove a few broken ships and began to invade the Ming Dynasty.

And take it as their colony, even Daming is no exception, Macau and Taiwan were once occupied by them, they oppressed and slaughtered our industrious Ming people.

How can I allow the red hair to sleep soundly beside my Daming couch, I decided to drive them out of the range of Daming's power, and soon the sun and the moon will shine on all Han lands, and the empire on which the sun never sets in the east will rise strongly.

Of course, all this depends on the bloody fighting of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Please rest assured that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not treat any soldier who has shed blood for the Ming Dynasty badly, and your efforts will be rewarded handsomely. "

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Qi Jiguang stretched out his hand and drew the sword from his waist in one fell swoop:
"As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we should swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty to the death. Anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

All the soldiers raised their rifles high and neatly, followed by Qi Jiguang, the commander of the five armies, and shouted:
"Anyone who offends our great Ming will be punished even if he is far away"

"Anyone who offends our great Ming will be punished even if he is far away"

It was the first time for those Qingliu civil servants in the past to personally experience the morale and passion of the soldiers of the Ming army. Many Qingliu couldn't help but see a layer of mist, and they all wanted to take up weapons and go to the battlefield to fight.

After Zhu Youjian finished his speech, the soldiers mounted their horses and began to head out of the city to Tanggu Port in Tianjin. When the people in the capital city heard that the emperor was marching in person, almost all of them crowded into the streets to see the Ming army off.

Many family members of soldiers were also in the crowd. They all watched their relatives go away with tears in their eyes. They didn't know whether they would be able to meet again after this parting.

Sixty warships of the navy were already waiting at Tanggu Port, including [-] iron-clad warships. When the large force arrived at Tanggu Port, Tianjin officials were already waiting at the port to welcome the emperor and see him and the army off.

Zhu Youjian exchanged pleasantries with the governor of Tianjin and others, and then boarded the warship. The officials knelt down on the shore, and many of them shed tears quietly.

These iron-clad warships are all newly received ships, which are more advanced than the previous warships in terms of function and technology.

The flagship Dayu has reached the 120-ton class, and the [-] naval guns are all giant guns with a caliber of [-] pounds. It is an absolutely invincible warship.

In order to make the emperor live more comfortably, the ship's command cabin and the emperor's cabin have been redecorated, and they are close to the level of a star hotel. It can be said to be very luxurious.

After asking Zhu Youjian for instructions, thick smoke billowed from the tall chimney of the warship, and it started slowly with a long cry. The destination was Quanzhou, Fujian, and the sailing warship raised its huge sail to follow closely.
