<><><><><>
According to the heavens, the emperor ordered: Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty used to be a commoner to drive out the barbarians and restore China. Since the establishment of the country, it has been 280 years since the founding of the country. In the year of Jiashen, bandits entered the capital and the land in Shenzhou was in full swing. Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty would rather die than surrender and hang himself in Meishan, without damaging the reputation of the emperor guarding the country's gates. This is the iron bone of the Ming Dynasty.
However, when Man Di took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, he took advantage of the situation to rob and steal the land in several northern provinces, slaughtered my Ming people, led beasts and ate people, and even wanted to peek at the magical artifacts. Is that okay?
Man Di, why? I was a barbarian under the jurisdiction of the Northern Guard of the Ming Dynasty. My brother took over brothers and wives, and my sons recruited fathers and concubines. The superiors and subordinates were familiar with each other. It was not surprising that the relationship between fathers, sons, kings, ministers, and husbands, and young people were very chaotic. The old slave raised an army with seven major hatreds, but it was still crazy and untrue. The subordinates violated the superiors. Taking advantage of the civil turmoil in the Central Plains, they won several luckily, and then thought that there was no one in the Central Plains?
When Taizu attacked Yuan, he once said that since ancient times, the emperors have been in power to control the world, and the barbarians live in the country to control the barbarians, and barbarians live outside to serve China. It has never been heard that barbarians live in China and to control the world. Today's Qing Dynasty is just like the Mongyuan in the past, which is instructed by the captive lords and nine chiefs. If they withdraw from the Central Plains early and respect China as the main force, I think that God's virtue of life may be immortal. If they are obsessed with each other and resist each other, the soldiers will be destroyed, and there will be no place for the world to bury them.
Since I ascended the throne, I have worked diligently and won the more with two personal expeditions. Why is this fate of heaven endlessly? Today, I have raised a 500,000 army to save the people's water and fire, and personally attacked several northern provinces. I will first sign civil and military officers, and I will present the city and receive seals. All the Han people will be confused and know that they will make great contributions to return and make great contributions. If you are obsessed with rejecting each other, you will not only give me more rewards! At that time, it will be too late to regret it!
For example, Mongolia, although the semen is not a Chinese race, they are born between heaven and earth, and they are able to know etiquette and righteousness. They are willing to be subjects, and they are no different from those in Zhongxia. Therefore, I will tell you that you should know this. I respect this!"
This statement, which is like a manifesto and an imperial edict, was published in the latest Ming Dynasty official newspaper, and spread rapidly around it. Within more than ten days, it would be known to everyone in the world. When the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty were cheering and excited when they saw this statement, they felt proud. The Qing officials were frightened. What would the Qing Dynasty use to block the 500,000 army?
If the Ming army had not won the victory over the tens of thousands of troops last time, even if the Ming army had a million troops, it would not have been the eyes of the people. However, with the lessons learned last time, who would dare to underestimate the Ming army again?
This mansion report was in short supply in the Ming Dynasty, and it was printed again and again. When it appeared in the Qing Dynasty, it was a single sealed statement. The officials in Shandong were surprised to find that many places in the city were covered with this statement overnight. The Qing officials were shocked by the contents of the statement and secretly shocked that there were so many Ming spies under their rule.
With the experience of the first literary inquisition, the government officials posted the notices were dealt with immediately after they appeared, but the government still could not stop its circulation. Every night, new notices would appear, and the handwriting was different, and they were clearly written by many people. After the government organizing people in various places were ambushed at night, although many people posted the notices were caught, most of them were scholars who were infuriated and dissatisfied with the Qing court and copied them themselves, and they could not catch the Ming army spies at all.
If such a person was caught in the past, he would be immediately punished for treason. Not only would he suffer, but his whole family would be implicated. However, under the current circumstances, these people would become hot lyrics when they were caught. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty would soon lead the army to fight in person. Shandong was at the brunt of the attack. If these people were killed, wouldn’t they have no way back when the Ming army came?
But they didn't dare to release people. If it was heard by the people, their heads would fall off before the Ming army came. They had to be detained for a while. As long as there was no killing, they still had the opportunity to see the direction of the wind. The government was weak and allowed more people to see the direction of the wind. Some places spread the notices to the point of unscrupulousness. Of course, there were also a small number of people who were stubborn and dedicated to the life of the people. After they caught the person, they immediately sentenced them severely and even beheaded directly. The bloody heads really scared many people. Only when the officials ruled such a way of spreading the notices was prohibited. However, these few people also placed themselves on the crater.
On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head and is suitable for traveling far away. It is the main force to fight.
This day was the third time that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally conquered the land. It was different from the previous two times that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally conquered the land. This time, the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to attack the old enemy. Before, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty declared war on the Manchus that the documents of war had already been made to build the world. The Ming Dynasty had to use a dignified method to conquer the border for decades. It even seized the enemy in the capital of Ming Dynasty and defeated it. It was even completely wiped out. The so-called "final battle" was completed.
With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to fight without declaring anything. Promote it first. It will help to disintegrate the morale of the Qing officials. Why not do it?
A high platform was erected on a huge open space outside the north city of Nanjing. There were three animals and three animals on the platform. A stove was burning wildly. Next to the stove was an incense altar. It was surrounded by incense and candles. The platform was densely surrounded by square formations of Yulin Guards and Yulin Guards.
More people watching the fun. This is where the emperor vows to leave.
In the statement, Wang Fu said that he led the Northern Expedition by 500,000 troops, and the actual army had about 200,000 troops. If the boatmen and the mobilized civilians were included, it would not be an exaggeration to say 500,000 in total, and there was no false statement. However, most of the troops were distributed in Huguang and Xuzhou front lines, and 60,000 Yulin Guards had also been released in advance. Only 30,000 people actually participated in the oath-taking ceremony, and another 10,000 Yulin Guards remained in the capital.
Although the rear is stable at the moment, nearly 100,000 troops were heading south at the beginning, and Wang Fu had only 50,000 Yulin Guards who had just trained for several months, still left 10,000 people to stay in the capital. This time, he led nearly 200,000 troops to the north and did not need to stay behind, but 10,000 people could not be missing.
Under the gaze of civil and military officials and hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes, Wang Fu was wearing an imperial robe and a crown on his head, and walked towards the platform step by step. When Wang Fu's figure stood still on the platform, all 30,000 Yulin Guards knelt down: "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
After the Yulin Guard knelt down, tens of thousands of onlookers also knelt down. The cheers of Long Live were shaking the earth. Everyone tried their best to shout their biggest voice. Except for the Long Live sound, there was no other voice in their ears. After the previous publicity, the morale of the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak, both military and civilians have reached its peak.
The cheers lasted for several minutes and had no intention of stopping. Wang Fu stretched out his hands to press them down. The cheers of Yulin Guard stopped first, and slowly the voices of the rest of the people also stopped.
Wang Fu first came to the altar, inserted several burning incense sticks into the altar, bowed several times, and prayed silently. Then he took out a piece of silk paper from his arms, opened it and looked at it several times, threw the silk paper into the burning incense burner. The silk paper showed bright flames, and the flames quickly burned the silk paper. Wang Fu left the incense burner and turned to the front desk again.
When the emperor did these things, the whole square was silent, as if tens of thousands of people had become dumb.
"Dear soldiers, the Tartars occupied my home, killed my comrades, humiliated my sisters, and led beasts to eat people. Their crimes were endless. Today, it was finally time for the Ming Dynasty to counterattack. I hereby swear that this Northern Expedition will not destroy the Tartars' lair and earn their contributions in one battle. I will never withdraw my troops and our army will win!"
"Win! Win!" Countless people shouted at the same time.
When the sound was a little light, Wang Fu waved his strength: "Tell me my will and the army will come out!"
The Yulin Guard in front was stunned when he heard the emperor's words, but he quickly reacted: "Long live! Long live! Long live!" Turning back, teams of Yulin Guards moved, and a stream of smoke and dust rose above the Yulin Guards.
Seeing the emperor's words just a few words, it took half a month to write a gorgeous article from the high platform. Wu Meicun, who was so magnificent that he almost vomited blood. He quickly asked Qian Qianyi next to him: "Qiange, is the emperor's oath-taking meeting over?"
Wu Meicun was recruited by the emperor as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy in the second year of Hongguang. He often drafted various documents for the emperor and immediately became a celebrity around the emperor. However, he had been with the emperor for a short time, so he could not help but sometimes he could not touch the emperor's temper. For example, this time, his oath showed that he had passed the emperor's review, but the emperor had no words to read.
Qian Qianyi looked at it and understood Wu Meicun’s question. He had figured out the emperor’s temper over the years and patted Wu Meicun on the shoulder: “Mr. Wu, the emperor has always been so brief. Your letter of departure is very well written, but it is too long. The emperor can only burn it to God. As for these warriors, the shorter the better.”
Wu Meicun felt something, and saw that the emperor's car had moved, so he hurriedly followed him. He had to follow the emperor at all times, while the other civil and military ministers followed him, but most of them would stay in the capital to see the emperor off.
Although the army took action, the enthusiasm of the people did not fade. Compared with the previous two times when the emperor was in charge of the emperor's personal expedition, everyone was full of confidence in the emperor's personal expedition. Without the previous worry, the mood would naturally be relaxed.
The army traveled through mountains and rivers and marched all the way. When they just passed Yangzhou, the war with the Qing army had already begun. Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan each led tens of thousands of troops to attack Jiaozhou and Qingzhou. The last two armies would encircle under the city of Jinan.
All kinds of intelligence flowed to the emperor's headquarters, which was almost all good news. Faced with the powerful power of the Ming army, most of the prefectures and counties along the way wisely chose to surrender. The prefectures and counties that the few troops resisted were captured by the Ming army like they were pushing withered and rotten. No prefecture could block the Ming army's attack for one day. The Ming army almost captured prefectures and counties at the speed of marching.
