One day later

The Beijing martial arts performance venue

All the 20,000 elite soldiers carefully selected by Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were here.

These 20,000 soldiers were originally elites of the Ming army. His military strength was not low, and he was also experts who used firearms. There is no need to say much about the military rules and regulations.

They all stood in high spirits and waited for the commander to give a lecture.

Although they didn't know why they were called out from the original army, they all felt that a new mission had arrived.

As a soldier, especially the current Ming soldiers, not only do they have to pay three taels of silver and no owed arrears every month, but they also have rewards for killing enemies.

After pacifying the bandits in the east, the soldiers were worried that there would be no war and their income would be reduced without war.

In the past, the Ming army was fled by bandits and the eastern captive Tartars, and was most afraid of war.

But now the opposite is true. Almost everyone is ready to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. They can not only win glory for the country but also generate income for their families.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu stood on the platform, looking at the 20,000 elite Ming soldiers below, and were also excited.

"Dadada..."

They were about to speak when they suddenly rushed into a cavalry from outside the martial arts field.

The cavalry stopped beside the platform and jumped off a group of people from the horse's back, about twenty people.

When Li Dingguo Liu Wenxiu saw clearly the person in charge, she immediately ran down the platform to salute:

"I will meet your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"No gifts, just flatter you!"

The visitor was Zhu Youjian, the Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Behind him was the Royal Guard Captain A Qing, the Eastern Factory Supervisor Cao Zhengchun, the Jinyiwei Commander Qinglong, and the Western Factory Supervisor Yu Huatian.

Looking back, this lineup is also quite luxurious.

The governor of the Five Army Qi Jiguang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chuanting, the Minister of War Sun Chengzong, the Minister of Works Meng Zhaoxiang, the Minister of Revenue Ni Yuanlu and other civil and military officials.

Zhu Youjian climbed onto the high platform of the martial arts arena like stars supporting the moon.

The soldiers below, led by Qianhu and Baihu, placed their fists neatly on their chests and shouted in unison:

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian's right hand lifted:

"Everyone is exempted from gifts"

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

During the Longteng Army's northern expedition, Zhu Youjian participated in the military parade. At that time, the Longteng Army was already very majestic and domineering.

Today, when he climbed onto the platform again, the 20,000 Ming Jinrui in front of him was more majestic than that, and there was a little more murderous aura.

Every soldier present was elite trained from bloody battles, and his momentum was certainly not comparable to that in the past.

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand behind him, and Qinglong immediately handed over a tweeter.

This was prepared in advance, and he didn't want to take things empty-handed in front of tens of thousands of people.

"Ming soldiers, thank you for defending every inch of the territory of the Ming Dynasty with your passion and life.

Although the bandits have been destroyed in the east, there are still many ambitions who are eyeing our Ming Dynasty and need you to defend it.

These 20,000 of you are elite troops drawn from various types of troops. I announce:

The Ming Dragon Banner Army was officially formed, and you are the Ming Dragon Cavalry Special Operations Army.

Do you know what the Ming Dragon Banner Army does? They are soldiers who plant the Dragon Banner.

Those who dare to disrespect my Ming Dynasty and those who dare to spy on my Ming Dynasty will have to plant the Ming Dynasty dragon flag on their territory.

Many of our vassal states are unscrupulously occupied by barbarians.

They keep harvesting the leeks of our Ming people, oppressing and massacing our Ming people overseas, and eyeing our Ming local people.

We not only want to drive them out, but also ask them to return them a hundred times.

You are just pioneers, and behind you will see a continuous stream of Daming Dragon Banner Army coming one after another.

I believe that in the near future, the sun and the moon shine, and the rivers reach all the Han territory. Those who violate our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away.

The revival of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty began. Not only did all the Ming soldiers need to defend it, but the soldiers of the Dragon Knight Special Forces also needed to bleed and sacrifice. Are you afraid?"

Zhu Youjian's words had already made everyone present excited.

Fear? Just kidding, these two words are not available in their dictionary at all.

"I'm not afraid, those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!"

"Those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away."

...

Not only were the 20,000 elite soldiers shouting from the audience, but even the civil and military officials behind Zhu Youjian shouted in unison.

Zhu Youjian nodded with satisfaction. China's century-old shame, he would not let him happen, and he would not even have the chance to sprout.

"I promise that as long as I join the Dragon Banner Army, the military pay will be increased to five taels of silver per month, and those who make meritorious contributions will be rewarded separately.

I hope you will train hard under General Li and General Liu to live up to my expectations.”

The soldiers fell to their knees in a panic:

"Please rest assured that our Majesty, we will never let your expectations down and are willing to shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty."

"Soldiers, please calm down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Zhu Youjian motivated the army, he turned around and looked at Li Dingguo:

"Li Dingguo Liu Wenxiu!"

Li Dingguo Liu Wenxiu hurriedly bowed and replied:

"The last one will be here, please give your Majesty instructions."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:

"I have appointed Li Dingguo as the Grand Governor of the Dragon Banner Army and Liu Wenxiu as the Deputy Governor."

The two bowed again:

"Thank you for your kindness"

Zhu Youjian looked at Yan Yingyuan again:

"Yan Yingyuan, I appointed you as the military advisor of the Dragon Banner Army and fight with the Dragon Banner Army!"

This was an accident, a surprise, and a trust for Yan Yingyuan.

Yan Yingyuan was not prepared at all and almost didn't react.

Hurry up and thank you:

"Thank you for your kindness, Yan Yingyuan swears to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zhu Youjian asked Yan Yingyuan to be exempted from courtesy, he said:

"Tonight, go to the Ministry of Works to get weapons and set off with light clothes tomorrow. I will send an order to Duke of Qian Mu Tianbo, and they will provide your logistics support.

From there, secretly enter the Myanmar and Annan jungle training, and then there will be naval warships to pick you up."

"Abide by the order"

"Qinglong, you choose more than a dozen Jinyiwei as bodyguards for the three generals. If there is any accident among the three of them, I will ask you!"

Qinglong hurriedly bowed to receive the order:

"Abide by the order"

Yan Yingyuan, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and the other two looked at each other and smiled. They did not think that the emperor was supervising them.

Now the Ming Dynasty is harmonious, and the emperor is the saint of the ages. They have no intention of being unjust. It is of course best to have masters around them to protect themselves.

After leaving the martial arts venue, Zhu Youjian did not return to the Qianqing Palace, but went to Tanggu, Tianjin.

The rivers are frozen and cannot sail. Although the shores of the Bohai Sea have frozen, the ice layer is not thick now.

If it is a wooden sailing warship, it cannot pass through the ice at all and will soon be frozen.

But the iron armored warship with steam engines is completely different from the wooden sail warship.

They can use steam power, relying on iron armor and hull weight to crush the ice forward, but speed has some impact.

Of course, the armored warships are not icebreakers. If the ice layer is too thick, they will still be trapped.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong led his command to train in Tanggu on the Ming Dynasty's homemade iron armored warships.

The sea ice is only five centimeters thick a few miles from the shore, and it cannot stop the crushing of the armored warships.
Chapter completed!
