My Daming New Empire

In order to compete for this position, Li Liang and Lu Zhen fought for half a month.After all, Lu Zhen was old and lacked energy in his heart, so it was difficult for him to keep shouting for two hours, so in the end Li Liang won and served as the host, while Lu Zhen was given the title of commander-in-chief.

Today, a total of 360 drummers are evenly arranged in the venue to ensure that people in every direction can hear the drums in order.

Except for the sound of drums, there are no other musical instruments in today's celebration, and everything is carried out according to the military music in the army.

When 360 big drums were struck at the same time, the resonance formed by the sound waves made everyone excited.

In order to prepare for today's celebration, all the parade soldiers have been trained for three months. Although they may not be able to walk in a uniform way, at least they are decent.

No one is better at this kind of formalism than Zhu Zhanji.

Moreover, he not only transferred the Jingwei and the Jingjun, but also included some frontier troops who did not go out, and almost every army dispatched someone.

In this way, during the promotion, some frontier soldiers and frontier guards will not feel that they have been ignored.

All the people who are transferred are required to be between 1.7 meters and 1.8 meters tall, and the standard bearer in front is more than 1.8 meters.

It is more difficult to train soldiers than to recruit soldiers and to write satisfactory publicity drafts, because civil servants still like to use classical Chinese to introduce the situation of each military guard.

This kind of article with beautiful words but no momentum will look too girly during the military parade.

Zhu Zhanji even wrote a few propaganda articles introducing the situation of the various armies himself, and then asked others to write them according to his format.

After several drafts, all of them passed his review before they were used.

A burst of tidy drums stopped, and Li Liang, whose voice was slightly shrill, moved closer to the speaker and shouted loudly: "On June 20, 26, Yongle, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the royal conquest, the triumphant ceremony, begins now..."

As soon as the voice fell, the fireworks in several corners of the arena were immediately ignited, and then outside the arena, salutes sounded, and for a while, it was very lively.

Zhu Di was very amused, but laughed and scolded: "It's not worth mentioning."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "This is not for the emperor's grandfather, but for the audience, civil and military officials." At this moment, there are no outsiders present, and there are a few trusted servants behind him, Zhu Zhanji It was changed back to the title of Grandpa Huang.

Zhu Di nodded and agreed, "That's right, it took a lot of thought."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "The wonderful thing is yet to come, Grandpa Huang, please get ready to go on stage..."

At the entrance, the representatives of the soldiers for this expedition are already waiting there.After the sound of the salute stopped, Li Liang shouted loudly: "Now, all the audience stand up, and I invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to give a speech..."

Wang Yan and the others led Zhu Di out from the door, passed through the passage, and went to the prominent podium.

And everyone in the arena stood up, clenched their fists with their right hands, placed them on their left chest, and saluted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di felt that his legs were light and light. When he came back, he was still considering whether to give Zhu Zhanji the Zen seat.

But enjoying this much-anticipated glory, he felt that the throne was even more precious.

Standing in front of the podium, Zhu Di took a deep breath, and gave a military salute to everyone. There were bursts of cheers in the venue, and the slogans of long live, long live, long live can be heard from time to time.

What Zhu Di read was "The Western Expedition" written by himself. The main purpose was to give this war a sense of justice.

I, Da Ming, did not run tens of thousands of miles for no reason to fight a battle that would not be of much benefit to Da Ming.

In fact, not many people pay attention to this.As long as the war is won, fewer people will die, and the livelihood of the people will not be affected, and the people will only have a sense of pride.

Moreover, Zhu Di also has another failure, that is, the prose written in classical Chinese.

In addition to the soldiers who entered the arena today, they are their relatives. Most of them are illiterate, so many people don't know what Zhu Di read.

They can only see others applauding, and he applauds too, without the rhythm of the beginning.

Zhu Di also seemed to feel bored, and quickly finished reading the essay, wanting to see what else was planned next.

However, when he was about to come down, Wang Yan behind him reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, raise your right fist and swing it a few times."

Zhu Di, who often parades, of course knows this way of boosting morale, but he didn't think of it because he faced more ordinary people.

After Wang Yan's reminder, he immediately raised his fist to the sky.And the people in the audience also followed his actions, raised their right fists and shouted loudly: "Long live Daming! Long live Your Majesty!"

This made Zhu Di intoxicated again, and stood there waving dozens of times before letting go of his arms.

After returning to the passage, he asked: "Why are ordinary people so united now?"

Wang Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's all because of the Cuju Competition twice a year. The royal family has representatives to attend every time. It's already a routine to shout long live Ming Dynasty and long live Your Majesty."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Cuju can cultivate martial arts, and we can vigorously promote it in the future!"

"His Highness is already promoting it. Now there is rubber from Dongzhou. Cuju balls are made of rubber and then inflated. They are more resistant to kicking than the original pig legs."

Back in the box, Zhu Di sat down and asked Zhu Zhanji. "Hasn't the Dongzhou Fleet returned yet?"

"The main fleet should return in July and August, but some goods and crops have already been shipped back last year."

Zhu Di didn't know much about this matter, so he asked, "Is it true that one mu of land can produce ten stones of crops?"

"The yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is more than ten shi, but not much for corn, which is not much different from wheat and rice. However, corn does not consume much land, and it can be grown on hillsides, and it can be promoted in the northwest."

In the field, the first army to be reviewed has already come over. They are Zhang Chang, who won the first place in the Western Expedition, and the three guards of Jinwuwei, Fujunwei, and Tengxiangwei.

Their three guards set up defenses in the north of Herat City, and killed more than [-] enemies in one fell swoop, including Shah Ru and his four sons, so they won the first place.

In Li Liang's introduction, they have become synonymous with bravery and martial arts.However, ordinary people and military families like to hear these, and the louder they blow, the louder their cheers will be.

When they passed under the rostrum, Zhu Di got up and waved his hands, gave a military salute and sat down again. "Tonight, our grandpa and grandson will have a good chat together, and we will talk about this matter later."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, now is not the time to talk about things.

Just as he thought this way, Zhu Di said again: "What do you think about the abolition of the sacrificial burial system?"

Zhu Zhanji didn't expect that he would ask this question at this time, he was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and replied: "Grandson wants to promote the style of thin burial."

Zhu Di didn't expect Zhu Zhanji's answer to be so unexpected, and he paused for a moment before pondering: "The wind of sacrificial burial and thin burial..."

Zhu Zhanji didn't wait for him to ask, and said: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the trend of thick burials has arisen. In all dynasties, including the Han Dynasty, thin burials were popular for a period of time, and the rest are thick burials. But now, the more thick burials are, The more it is damaged, the more people rob tombs, and they are repeatedly prohibited.

Moreover, most of the rich burials were buried with various antiquities, gold and silver, which also caused a shortage of gold and silver among the people.Controlling thick burials can increase the circulation of gold and silver. "

Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "I'm talking about people..."

Zhu Zhanji knew that this was Zhu Di's heart knot. Since Zhu Yuanzhang's death, most concubines were buried, and Zhu Di also wanted to have a concubine to be buried after his death.

But now that Zhu Zhanji has abolished the sacrificial burial system, if he is still buried with him, then he will definitely be portrayed as a faint king.

Moreover, Zhu Gaochi has passed away for more than a year, and he has not been buried yet, and none of his concubines have been buried.

These two incidents put Zhu Di there at once, and he didn't dare to be buried.At this time, it is normal for him to feel a little resentful towards himself.

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said: "Who is not raised by his father and mother? Who does not eat whole grains? There are differences in identity and blood, but they all have one life.
