Chapter 65
The martial arts venue has a lot of space, and there are many people today.
It is difficult for everyone to hear the voice of speaking, but it will not make Zhu Youjian embarrassed.
The thought moved slightly, and a loud horn appeared in his hand.
Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty took a step forward and raised the loudspeaker in his hand.
"Ming Ming soldiers, thank you for your hard work."
The soldiers had long seen the emperor standing on the platform.
When they heard the emperor's personal speech, they all stood straight.
"No need to work hard, we are willing to shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty, long live the emperor."
Zhu Youjian, who was used to seeing the National Day military parade, felt a little confused at this time. They should say that they should serve the people.
After a moment of confusion, Zhu Youjian almost laughed.
I am too immersed in the play. Now it is the Ming Dynasty, where do I get the word "serving the people"?
"Soldiers, now you are the backbone of my Daming.
It is time for us to defend together.
In the past, we had differences and made trouble, but we were a family and were all Chinese children.
Starting from our ancestor Hongwu, we expelled foreign enemies and established the unified Chinese dynasty again.
The Ming Dynasty has been stable for about two hundred years, but now the Ming Dynasty has encountered a great crisis again.
Not only are there eyeing the East, but the country is also divided.
Zhang Xianzhong occupied Bashu and the northwest Central Plains, and was still in the hands of the demon bandits.
Once the East invades, we each fight to each other, how to resist them.
The several invasions of the East caused huge losses to our Ming Dynasty and great disasters to the people.
1626
In 1998, Nurhaci invaded Ningyuan.
1629
Huang Taiji led the main force to the capital.
1632
Zhangjiakou, the army was captured from the east.
1636
He captured the east and invaded our Central Plains.
1638
Dorgon invaded the Central Plains again.
1642
Abatai plundered our Central Plains region.
Every time the Eastern Abduct is a bloody lesson, causing me a huge disaster to China.
They not only rob us of money, food and livestock.
And they also wantonly plunder our brothers as slaves for them and plunder our sisters for their enjoyment.
Now they are coming again!
Soldiers, each of us has parents, brothers, sisters, and even children.
Do we just turn a blind eye and let these wolves do their own things?
At that time, the traffic communication was not well developed and the information was very closed.
Ordinary people generally do not know about these major foreign invasion incidents.
Although some people present heard about this, they didn't say clearly what they were doing, most of them were in the pass.
Today, when they heard their emperor tell the story in person, the anger of the soldiers was aroused by the emperor.
They are all bloody men, and they wish they could fight immediately and kill all the damn alien races.
The soldiers raised their weapons and roared:
"No, we must not let the Eastern Abduct do whatever we want. Please upload an order.
"We want to rob the blood and pay the blood, we want to rob their sisters, kill all their families, and shave these damn aliens alive..."
Zhu Youjian's words completely aroused public anger.
Seeing the soldiers' morale and bloodiness, Li Yanhong's wife Qi Jiguang and A Qing nodded frequently.
Zhu Youjian was also very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers. He raised his hands high and signaled that the soldiers were quiet.
The martial arts performance venue that was just now was chaotic, and after Zhu Youjian signaled, it instantly became quiet.
"The soldiers, the soldiers must first settle the internal affairs when they fight against foreign countries. If there is internal discord, they will stab us in the back when we attack the Eastern Capitol.
In order to completely crack down on Eastern Abductees and to protect our homes, the internal must be swept away and the whole country must be unified.
And you are the sharp knife that unifies the whole country by the Ming Dynasty. You will also be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty. The people will not forget you, and the Ming Dynasty will not forget you.
If you eliminate the bandits, your merits will always be remembered in the book of the Ming Dynasty and will last forever.
I can also guarantee that as long as you bravely kill the enemy, the military salary will be increased to thirty taels of silver, and will be paid once every seven days, and there will be no delay.
After the national unification, each of your families will have their own fields, all of which are tax-free.
Of course, there are punishments if there are rewards.
If someone is found to be a deserter who is afraid of death or who is unable to work hard, he will be expelled from the army and will be mortified on the spot during wartime.
Are you still willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty and not be bullied by foreign races and contaminated with blood on the battlefield?”
"Tell me loudly!"
Before Zhu Youjian finished speaking, a shocking shout erupted in the martial arts venue:
"Don't worry, the emperor, we are willing to stain the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty, for our family, and for our comrades, and shed the last drop of blood."
"As long as the family is healthy and the country is stable and prosperous, there is nothing scars on your head."
"Long live the emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!"
...
The morale and enthusiasm of the soldiers made Zhu Youjian feel a little red in his eyes.
Why couldn't Chongzhen stimulate their morale with such a good military force?
After thinking about it, I felt relieved. The military pay was not only exploited layer by layer, but also seriously delayed. Many military soldiers could not receive military pay for a long time.
At that time, the Donglin Party blocked the way, and the civil servant group was in great power, and the military generals were bullied everywhere, so they could not raise their heads in front of these civil servants.
There was no shortage of good generals in the late Ming Dynasty, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chengzong, etc.
(It would be fine if Yuan Chonghuan didn't say it. It is difficult to determine his right or wrong, merits and demerits now. If Mao Wenlong did not die, the Eastern Abdication would definitely be postponed for many years before he could enter the pass. Maybe he would not be able to enter the pass at all.)
Their deaths or deaths in battle have a lot to do with the civil servants and eunuchs.
Although Chongzhen was suspicious, he did not attack the general directly. It seemed that the general only killed one Yuan Chonghuan.
The military pay of general military soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty was converted into silver, which was only eighteen taels.
With layers of exploitation, the maximum amount of less than ten taels is obtained, which is the income of a year.
Today, the emperor not only promised to increase military salary to thirty taels of silver, but also sent it directly to them.
It will be distributed once every seven days, and the land will be distributed to them, and all taxes will be exempted.
In this way, there are no military soldiers who are unwilling to fight for the Ming Dynasty (my brains have just been washed away)
The atmosphere at the scene was far beyond Zhu Youjian's expectations. As for the surprise of Li Yan and his wife and Qi Jiguang, there is no need to mention it.
After reacting, Li Yan stepped forward to ask for instructions:
"Master, when will we send troops?"
Zhu Youjian looked at the thought:
"Three days later, your troops will be sent to Changping. At that time, I will send another general to help you."
"As for your order, thank you for your trust."
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly and reached out to pat Li Yan on the shoulder:
"There is a long way to go. I hope you and your husband will succeed and return triumphantly as soon as possible. After withdrawing the troops, you will go to the treasury to withdraw three million taels of silver to stimulate the morale of the soldiers."
"Ah... the treasury does not have that much money, the emperor should just postpone it."
As the first strategist under Li Zicheng.
Li Yan had heard that Emperor Chongzhen was very poor.
How could it be possible to allocate three million taels of silver at once?
