Chapter 1019 The Grand Ceremony
But even so, he, King Long, was still frowning, because he felt that he could deal with the tricks of the Ming army, and it would take time to use them.But he is gathering the whole country's army to fight, and if he gathers for one more day, the materials consumed will be countless, and the national power accumulated in the past two years is being consumed rapidly.

If he is allowed to lead the army to attack Mubang, Mengmi and other places, he is not sure.Because this time, the Ming army obviously made a plan before moving. After occupying the northern front line, it immediately started to operate. As a result, it was much more difficult to attack.

"It's a small country to regret a big country, it's really a chestnut out of the fire!" King Talong stood on the head of Ava City, looking to the north, muttering to himself.

At the same time, the countermeasures on his side were quickly reported to Tang Wang's side, Min Hongxue's side, and even Emperor Chongzhen's side immediately.

It was also expected that King Talong assembled the whole country's army to garrison Ava, and it was also what the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were happy to see.The tricks that big countries use against small countries can actually be bullied with strength.For example, dealing with Jianlu is a waste of national strength, and Jianlu, who has a full body of combat power, can't use a lot of combat power; dealing with Dongwu is actually the same way, where the troops are deployed, look at Dongwu, a small country. How much time can be consumed?
However, what Emperor Chongzhen did not expect was that he, King Long, was so destructive that he slaughtered all the Ming people in Dongwu, blood flowed, and the Dajinsha River was red for a few days.

Min Hongxue was very angry when he saw the emperor in the temporary group, so he asked people to play: "Dongwu's cruelty is not an example! During the Wanli period, there was Daming Street outside Dongwu Jiangtou City, where Min, Guang, Jiang, and Shu lived. There were tens of thousands of entertainers, and there were also tens of thousands of people who were brought along with three propagandas and six comforts. When they heard that the heavenly soldiers would attack the south, fearing that they would respond internally, they would be imprisoned by the river, burned to death, and abandoned to cover the river."

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being furious!A little Dongwu dared to slaughter like this.How to show the power of heaven and deter Zhou Bang if you don't kill him!
"Zhu Yujian, Min Hongxue, I ordered you two to destroy Dongwu, capture King Long alive, and escort the capital. I will kill him alive in front of the envoys of the kingdoms of the world, and serve as an admonition for other countries." Emperor Chongzhen almost gritted his teeth. He said, "From now on, who dares to raise a butcher's knife at me, Ming people?"

It is not polite to call a courtier by his first name.But both Tang Wang and Min Hongxue knew that the emperor was very angry at this time and could understand the emperor's mood, so they didn't care about it, but both responded and immediately agreed to capture him alive!

"Your Majesty, now our Ming army has occupied the front lines of Mengmi, Mengyang, and Mubang. Among them, Mengmi produces gems and gold in the east, silver in the south, iron in the north, and aragonite in the west; To produce gold, first stabilize these outputs, and at the same time, the army must train after the first battle, so that they can become elite soldiers, and it is not difficult to defeat Ava." Min Hongxue asked people to play in the group.

King Tang's army is basically fugitives and disaster victims. Although they have been trained for more than a year, they have never experienced war.Even if the backbone of the army is officers drawn from various guards, such an army still needs to be trained in order to become a real elite soldier.The first surprise attack was mainly due to the sufficient preparations in the early stage and the surprise. The real tough battle has never been fought.

Now King Talong led the country's troops to Ava, so the battle of Ava will be a decisive battle, and it will also be a tough and bitter battle.What Min Hongxue meant by saying this was to continue to adapt this army to avoid the possibility of defeat.

Emperor Chongzhen was not a rookie either, he had personally experienced and commanded the Liaodong War, and he understood the meaning behind Min Hongxue's words very well.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Chongzhen also remembered that in the original history, when Hong Chengchou led the main force of the Ming army to launch the Songshan battle against Jianlu, it was because of the constant urging of the capital to send troops that eventually led to a crushing defeat.Although the logistical pressure was too great at the time, if it was a true soldier, I am afraid that he would not do this.

In this battle in Dongwu, Emperor Chongzhen on this plane would not forcibly interfere with the decision-making of the frontline commander.However, as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he can also have an impact on this battle.

Whether it is to capture King Long, the executioner who slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty, or to help the King of Tang to occupy Dongwu, so that the vassal king's feudal overseas strategy can be implemented, the war on Dongwu's side must never be defeated!

Thinking of this principle, Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried about the combat power of the army trained by King Tang. He thought about it alone for a long time.Why did I forget that there was still a power in my hand that I could use!
So, he immediately chatted with Tang Wangdao in private: "I still have an elite army in my hands, good at fighting in the mountains. If I send it to Dongwu, it will be able to help you. But now I am using troops in Liaodong, and next year I will go to the imperial army to fight. Although I can distribute troops to you, but the military pay and food..."

He just said this, and Tang Wang understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant.Immediately, he was overjoyed.

Isn't it just money?The only thing left is money!Gu is so poor that he is an elite soldier, so Gu wants to capture Dongwu immediately, start to truly grasp the military and political power, and become a real vassal king!

Without Min Hongxue's explanation in the group, King Tang thought his army was already a strong one.But when Min Hongxue said that, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he was right and Min Hongxue was wrong.Therefore, the desire for elite soldiers is very strong.

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the king of Tang immediately replied: "Your Majesty wants to send elite troops to help the ministers take down Dongwu, and let the ministers bear the needs of the army to start the war. Even if the number of troops is too large, the ministers have financial resources. Insufficient, there is also the grain field of the Tang Palace, which has not yet been auctioned."

The implication is that he has plenty of money, and your emperor wants to send troops, the more the better, the worst is to auction off the grain fields earlier.

Emperor Chongzhen saw it, thought for a while, and felt that in the battle of Dongwu, which is currently going to be a decisive battle in Ava, with Min Hongxue commanding, and adding an elite army and strong generals, it should be unlikely to lose the battle.That being the case, it should be possible to disclose the affairs of King Tang, and the auction of the grain fields can also be started.

Thinking of this, he said to Tang Wang: "Since this is the case, I will send an order to the southwest to order the Baigan army to go to Dongwu to help you!"

Since Qin Liangyu led the army of King Qin last time, he led the white-armed army back to Sichuan, and continued to follow the orders of governor Zhu Xieyuan to suppress the Southwest Tusi Rebellion. After the Shanxi merchants were seized, Ma Xianglin and his wife also returned to Sichuan.Today's southwestern chieftain rebellion has basically been put down, and the Baigan army should be able to be dispatched. With Tang Wang's financial resources as a guarantee, I believe that the elite Baigan army will not have any difficulties when they move to Dongwu.

After discussing this matter, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention back to the capital.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and during this New Year's festival, the big drama should also be staged.

So, following an imperial edict, on the day of commemorating the Daming Zhonglie Hall, some new procedures were added.

On this day, the people of the capital got up before dawn again.It stands to reason that seeing the emperor pay homage to the Daming Zhonglie Hall last year is not such a new thing. There should be some people sleeping in the blankets in this winter.

However, not only did this situation not happen, but the number of people who took to the streets this time after the curfew ended was far higher than that of last year.What is even more exaggerated than last year is that this time the inns in the capital are almost full of people. They came from various towns in the capital to watch the ceremony. If you can't go back for the reunion, you don't hesitate.

They rushed to Fengtianmen Square in a hurry, and the cold wind hit their faces. Most of them didn't speak, but some acquaintances greeted each other and talked when they met.

"Hey, Boss Li, why did you come to the capital? Could it be that you are here to see what happened today?"

"Yeah, back then, my whole family survived because I was doing business outside. The family's blood feud, no matter what, I always had to come and have a look."

"That's right. Back then, the land of Gyeonggi was ravaged by Jianlu, and many families were destroyed. I heard that the Ming traitor who was about to be cut alive this time was the biggest traitor on Jianlu's side. He made plans for Jianlu. I don't know. How many compatriots have been killed, and even this person treats us Han people like livestock and drives them to Jianlu for military food? I don’t know how this kind of people are raised?"

"..."

Hearing their conversation, a passer-by interrupted and said, "Don't you know? I heard that this person claimed to be the descendant of Fan Zhongyan in the former Song Dynasty. I don't know if Fan Zhongyan would think so when he heard that there were such unworthy descendants. Jump out of your grave!"

"So, this time, all of us in the Jianghu issued a hunt and kill order, just to catch this traitor. Don't say it, it's thanks to our people in Jianghu that we were able to catch this traitor this time!" A Jianghu Listening to their discussion, the man in human attire also interjected, speaking with a little pride.

If in the past, people in the rivers and lakes were not welcomed by the common people, and they would do things relatively low-key, otherwise they might attract people from the government.But this time, under the large crowd, this quack has voluntarily exposed his identity.

When Boss Li heard this, he cupped his fists and saluted him, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know where is the third hero Hou who found Fan Wencheng's traitor?"

"He, I heard that he was summoned by the emperor yesterday, praised him face to face, and let him work in Jinyiwei. Also, his eldest brother would rather die than surrender, and the tablet has to be personally approved by the emperor to enter the Daming Loyalty Hall to offer incense. Hehe, this is our Jianghu I didn't expect to have the opportunity to enter the Hall of Loyalty!" The man in the rivers and lakes replied with a little envy and a little pride.

Boss Li nodded immediately after hearing this, and said, "There used to be heroes like Guo, but now we also have heroes in Ming Dynasty. Didn't I say that, there are many people in the world, heroes, and heroes!"

"..."

Halfway through the walk, the blood was flowing, and it felt that the weather was not so cold anymore, and there were more people talking, and one of them asked curiously: "By the way, this traitor didn't stay in Liaodong well, why did he want to die?" , actually came to pass?”

Hearing this, many people were very surprised.Immediately, a well-informed person broke the news: "Don't you know? The imperial army has taken down Anshan Post Fort, and the soldiers are approaching Liaoyang and Shenyang. , trying to struggle to the death!"

Hearing this, thinking of a series of victories, and thinking about the past, an older middle-aged man said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, now our Ming army has beaten Jianlu so hard that he can't even fight back. There are all kinds of crooked ways coming up!"

Having said this, many people followed with emotion, and a younger one laughed and said loudly: "There will be a military parade later, and those troops who have won the battle will come to praise their achievements. This time, we must take a good look at it." , What kind of army can beat such a powerful Jianlu like this!"

"Yes, a while ago, cavalry troops kept coming back to Beijing. At first I thought something was wrong, but later I realized that they were the ones who won the battle and sent their meritorious service back to receive this honor!"

"..."

After talking, someone said with a smile: "There is a memorial ceremony, you can see the emperor, you can see the big traitor being cut alive, and you can also see our mighty teacher of Ming Dynasty. This trip is not in vain!"

"Yes, even if you can't go back on New Year's Eve this year, it may be worth it to see this grand event!"

"..."

Amid such discussions, people slowly gathered in Fengtianmen Square.

Because of the experience of the previous sacrificial ceremonies, the soldiers and horses of the five cities were dispatched early, guarding the guards, standing guards, and guiding the crowd. Although the number of people was larger than before, they were in order and there was no chaos at all.

At the same time, there were many soldiers in the school field on the Beijing camp side, and many soldiers of the Beijing camp looked at the soldiers lining up in the middle, with envious looks on their faces.They all say that they will parade in the streets to show off when they win the number one prize.But now that he is a soldier and eats food, there is such a day that he can parade in the capital to praise his merits, and more people will watch it than the number one scholar. Even the emperor, civil and military officials, and envoys from various countries will watch. This honor, It can be said for a lifetime!

They envied those soldiers who were waiting in line for orders, but they were extremely proud and excited.These soldiers, never dreamed that this day would happen.When the purpose of the military parade reached the army, I don't know how many comrades regretted that they didn't make more contributions and couldn't compare with others, but could only watch them come to the capital to participate in the extremely glorious military parade.

At this moment, they felt that the desperate fight on the battlefield was worth it!When I get old in the future, sitting at the gate of the yard, thinking about this life, at this moment, I should be content!

Thinking of this, each of them held their heads high and full of energy. Each of them secretly told themselves that they must show their best side to the people in the capital, to the adults, and to the emperor!
