Chapter 201 The military song is loud and clear
Chapter 201: The military song is loud
Looking at the group of beggar-like city guards in front of him, Yang Jie felt that there were still many things he needed to do. It was impossible to rely on these soldiers to fight and defeat wild boar skins and others. They were not as cheap as they could not eat enough, wear warm clothes, and work hard for others. When they were fine, it would be fine to eat and drink. Once they really wanted to come, they would run away.
These rows of sergeants were moved to tears by Yang Jing's simple "small move". Yang Jing did not expect that this would have such an effect after touching him casually.
On one hand, the soldiers were crying speechlessly, and on the other hand, Yang Jingwei's infinite thoughts.
"By the way, can you sing military songs? Sing a military song for me." Yang Jie suddenly remembered that when it comes to improving morale, he set up a choir, which is a special sing. Yang Jie was going to see if they had their own military songs. Maybe he should send his own choir to perform for these city defense soldiers and other things to boost morale.
"I'll go back to the top, I'll go, I'll go, I don't know which song I'll go?" Zhang Weiyi quickly took over the conversation.
"Pick someone who sings often can boost your spirits." Yang Jinghui knew what military songs were in the Ming Dynasty. He could only let these people sing them themselves.
"The young man sang a song "Choose" for the top student with his brothers. This has been circulating for decades. It's very exciting when singing it!" Zhang Weiyi introduced another song.
"Song of Triumph"? Yang Jing had never heard of it. If you want to talk about ancient military songs, Yang Jing knew one, that is "Without Clothes", which is reliable and reliable to the military song. However, it seems that it is something in the Book of Songs, and it is not considered a military song that is the 28th Classic.
"Then sing this song."
"Little one obeys the order." Zhang Weiyi wiped his eyes and wiped the red eye circle with tears.
"Brothers, today, Shangcai wants to listen to us sing a military song and listen to "Challenge". Everyone sings well and let Shangcai see our spirit." Zhang Weiyi didn't say much, and just opened his voice and started singing.
"Everyone... One heart..." Zhang Weiyi sang the first sentence first. Zhang Weiyi's voice was not very good, but his voice was very loud.
Immediately afterwards, the gang of soldiers under his command sang together with his singing.
"The mountains are shaking..." From a solo by one person to a chorus by one group, this gives people a very clear feeling, like a stream suddenly converging with a river and turning into a big river. The waves rolling down, deeply shocking Yang Jingwei.
Yang Jing smiled bitterly in his heart. It was really uncomfortable to stand in front of dozens of people and be attacked by others with sound wave weapons. However, this song is indeed good and quite powerful.
"Only loyalty and righteousness, the energy rushes to fight the bull..."
"The Lord will kiss me, better than my parents..."
"I'm not free in my life..."
"Tell Mingxi, reward and punishment letter..."
"I dare to stay late if I go to water and fire..."
"Report to the emperor, save the head of Guizhou..."
"Kill all the Japanese slaves and find a title of marquis..."
The song is loud and the momentum is high, and the lyrics are very straightforward. It means serving the emperor and being brave to kill the enemy, giving people a sense of fearlessness and boldness.
The song was sung several times in a row. When Yang Jie listened to it for the second time, he had already roughly understood the content of the lyrics, which was really impressive.
At the end of the singing, the tears of these soldiers had long been gone, but they gave people a feeling of confidence, spirit and heroism.
"Bababababa...is not bad, not bad..." Yang Jie applauded.
"You sing this song with momentum and the essence of this song. I see, you are like a group of heroes who have won a battle and are about to return to triumph." Yang Jingwei didn't mind expressing his feelings.
"Thank you, the youngsters, and they think this song is really good. They often sing it for nothing. Whenever they sing this song, they always feel like this... Alas, the youngsters are commonplace, and the youngsters can't say what it feels like. They just feel that they are much more energetic." Zhang Weiyi looked embarrassed.
"Well, who wrote this song? Who sang it?" Yang Jingwei was very interested in the author of this military song.
"Return to Shangchao, this song is said to be sung by Shangshuai when he fought against Japanese pirates. This Qi Shuai's soldiers have always been among the elites of my Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this song has been widely circulated in the Ming army." Zhang Weiyi impatiently explained the origin of this song to Shangchao.
"Shishou Qi? Qi Jiguang?" Yang Jing asked. Yang Jing could hear the lyrics of this song clearly. Compared with the lyrics, there is the word "killing all Japanese slaves". In this way, it seems that it was written by Qi Jiguang at that time, which matches the lyrics.
"I'm going back to the top, yes, it's Qi Jiguang and General Qi." Zhang Weiyi gave a positive answer.
"Well, it's really good, it's not bad. This Qi Shuai is also a famous general in our dynasty, and the Qi family army is also an elite in our dynasty. This military song is also loud and inspiring!" Yang Jing had to sincerely praise Qi Jiguang. It has to be said that it was a miracle that this army could fight like this and had such a good record in the middle and late period of this dynasty.
"The Supreme Certificate said it is right, and the Supreme Certificate said it is right." Zhang Weiyi also agreed with the Supreme Certificate. This Qi Shuai was recognized as the first-class general and commander in the Ming army. It is natural to praise him.
Yang Jie was depressed. When would he find his own Qi Jiguang? If he had Qi Jiguang, he would not have to worry too much about what happened next. His own Qi Jiguang would help him settle everything. He would not have to live an anxious life every day like this.
Yang Jie was depressed and asked again: "Zhang Weiyi, tell me, how far is this Guangqumen from here?" Yang Jie thought of going to Guangqumen to take a look. This is the battlefield for a battle with wild boar skins in the future.
"I'll be back to Shangchao. Guangqumen is about two miles away from here. I'll arrive soon. From here, I can barely see the arrow tower of Guangqumen." Zhang Weiyi said.
"Where? Is there?" Yang Jie looked over in the direction of Zhang Weiyi's instructions. Sure enough, there seemed to be a towering arrow tower in the mist, like a four-story building, and the entire arrow tower looked majestic and tall.
"Back to the top, yes, that's it." Zhang Weiyi said affirmatively.
Yang Jie found that this Beijing city was so big that it would take a week to circle Beijing, and I’m afraid it would take a day to walk. Yang Jie raised his foot and prepared to see the on-site situation there.
However, Wang Chengen stopped doing this. The emperor didn't take the chariot in this far away. Could it be that he was really walking? It was too far away. Wouldn't it make His Majesty the Emperor work hard? When he walked away, his feet would blister and his waist and legs would be sore. Wang Chengen was willing to let the emperor suffer this. Seeing the emperor looking eager to leave, he was about to stop the emperor and not let the emperor see any Guangqumen.
Wang Chengen quickly ran to the emperor and whispered: "Young Master, you should not go there. You have to go to see the hot air balloons, and you have to go to the Imperial College. The future is long! Your son..." What Wang Chengen feared the most was to make the emperor tired.
When Li Zubai saw that the emperor was asking about Guangqumen, he knew that the emperor might have to go to Guangqumen to take a walk. He was very discouraged. He finally got a chance to contact the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor was now interested in the city wall, and he was afraid that there would be nothing left to do with his affairs! He became melancholy again.
After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Yang Jing remembered that he had two things he had not done today. He looked at the hot air balloon and went to the Imperial College. He saw that the city wall was not in his work plan. The steps he was about to take were loosened again.
Go or not to go to Guangqumen? On-site inspection of Guangqumen will help in future combat arrangements, and many things that have gone today will be delayed.
After a long time of doubt, Yang Jie finally decided not to go to Guangqumen for the time being. This is still unknown whether the future war will start at Guangqumen. Now I go there, basically no way to see anything. After I traveled through it, the enemy's and our military strength had changed a lot. It is still hard to say whether the wild boar skin can hit the city wall.
Thinking of this, Yang Jie didn't want to go there anymore. I can talk about this later. Anyway, there is already a lot of the first piece of information I got today.
"Well, indeed, let's go to the star-watching table first." Yang Jing made the decision.
This decision made Wang Chengen breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing can make the emperor tired! After walking over these miles, I have to walk back. Can the emperor bear it?
Li Zubai also breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor had gone to Guangqumen, his hot air balloon would probably not be able to fly today, and his hope would be shattered.
Yang Jie walked up to Zhang Weiyi and his group of soldiers and said, "Well, you are all good. Although you don't dress well and live a good life, you are good in spirit and good in spirit... I have been here for so long, which has delayed a lot of time and disturbed everyone. In this way, the housekeeper will give each soldier here two taels of silver, which is considered to be my purchase of wine for everyone..." Yang Jie rewarded him without being "stingy", and he would be addicted to rewarding others' things as an emperor.
"Thank you, little, thank you for your reward." Zhang Weiyi quickly thanked. The two taels of silver were enough for them to spend one or two months, and it could be considered a fortune.
The group of soldiers were also happy and shouted: "Thank you for the reward."
Yang Jingwei was also very happy. After spending a few dollars, many people had to be happy. From the gratitude of the heart, this is much better than the corrupt officials who can't feed them. It costs less money and has a strong effect. It is good, good, good.
"Don't thank you! Today, I will report to the above truthfully what you said. I can't say that the soldiers in the world will benefit from it. Thank you for your blunt words!" Yang Jingwei was preparing to solve the problem of wearing clothes. He didn't dare to go out for training without clothes, for fear that the clothes would wear too quickly. Therefore, dressing clothes are directly related to the level of training and combat effectiveness. If this problem is not solved, you will not be sure when fighting.
When the sergeant praised them so much, the group of soldiers were so happy.
Yang Jie took a look and felt that these guys were really easy to satisfy. He just made a little wish and they would be very satisfied. You must know that if he gave each army in the country a set of clothes, he would have to go bankrupt. This thing will never be realized for a period of time. It is just a sweet thing.
"Okay, butler, let's go. It's been a long time since we've been wasting here." After Yang Jie said that, he led the way down the city wall. Of course, someone would go to the rewards behind him.
Li Zubai was finally able to show his hot air balloon and followed the emperor happily. Nothing happened this time.
Wang Chengen also breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor finally didn't go to see the Guangqu Gate and immediately followed the emperor quickly.
Looking at the rewards in his hand, Zhang Weiyi and his group of soldiers didn't know what to say. Today's experience was like a dream. If it weren't for the real money in his hand, they wouldn't believe it. The above would also care about these poor soldiers, the city wall, and say that they might give clothes to the soldiers in the world. This is really a strange thing in the world. Looking at the noble people who were leaving, Zhang Weiyi was stunned for a long time.
After getting off the city wall, under the leadership of Li Zubai, he climbed up to the observatory again.
This time, Yang Jie was also out of breath. The observatory was a little higher than the city wall. It was so terrible to climb up in this breath, almost equivalent to going up to the sixth floor.
Wang Chengen didn't care about his own breath and hurried over to serve the emperor.
Yang Jie found that the place above was not big. After careful investigation, it was about a little larger than a football field. I didn’t see the hot air balloon on it, but I saw many astronomical instruments.
"Mr. Li, what are these? They seem to be very exquisite!" Yang Jing saw those well-made astronomical instruments. In the 21st century, Yang Jing saw them, and now he looked back at the Ming Dynasty. It feels completely different. In the 21st century, in the middle of a modern building, he suddenly saw these ancient astronomical instruments, which gave people the feeling of simplicity, vicissitudes, and heavy history. Now it seems that these things represent the most advanced technology, the most advanced equipment, and the most advanced instruments today, and represent the highest level of productivity development. Although things are still those things, they give people the feeling that they are completely opposite.
The world has changed dramatically and is fully reflected in several astronomical instruments.
"Young Master, these are instruments for watching celestial phenomena. This is an armillary sphere. The function of this instrument is to observe celestial bodies and demonstrate the operation of celestial bodies." Li Zubai was very familiar with the things here, and he explained the functions of these things to the emperor casually.
"Not bad, not bad...what about this?" Yang Jing nodded, doing it quite exquisitely.
"Young Master, this is called Jian Yi, which is matched with the armillary sphere just now. Its main function is to measure the position of the celestial body." Li Zubai explained again.
"Well, it's good, it's good!" Yang Jing discovered that many of the instruments on this observatory were decorated with dragons. I have to say that this is related to "god" and the treatment is indeed a bit different. If someone dares to carve a dragon at home as a decoration, he may be arrested and beheaded the next day. Yang Jing felt the vicissitudes of history, admired the exquisite instruments, and put his mind back on the hot air balloon.
"Sir Li, why don't you see hot air balloons here?" Yang Jie asked.
Li Zubai immediately said: "Go back to your... Go back to your son, this is the observatory platform, the location is relatively high. It is safe to stand here to watch the hot air balloon. The hot air balloon is just below. Please follow me, please... Standing here, you can see the hot air balloon rising slowly..." Li Zubai is quite good at thinking about the emperor and not letting the emperor get into dangerous places. This hot air balloon is always a dangerous thing. He is afraid that the hot air balloon will hurt the emperor and his party, and he is also afraid that the hot air balloon will crash. The people above will smash it down and scare the emperor. Therefore, Li Zubai made complete preparations to let the emperor stand on this high platform without being afraid of fire, nor will he be scared by the scene when he was thrown to death. Yang Jing was speechless. He still had to stand far away? Could it be that there is still a big danger? Could it be that the hot air balloon has risen and he will not run away?
"Okay, then you can start." Yang Jing was speechless for a while, thinking that it was actually pretty good to watch here. At least the location is high enough, the sight is good enough, and it is safe enough. Look at the bottom, there is indeed a large hot air balloon in a yard, but it seems that there is no ignition and is waiting.
Li Zubai picked up the small green flag that had been prepared long ago and waved it. It seemed that some people were staring at the observatory. When he saw someone waving the green flag, he immediately became busy.
The ones who make fires and move things are busy. However, the hot air balloon cannot fly up in an instant. After waiting for a long time, there was no reaction. The hot air balloon has always been like that and has almost never moved.
When Yang Jing used to see others emitting hot air balloons, he would spray them with hot air inside, and soon he could blow a shriveled balloon. There was no movement there like now.
Li Zubai also noticed that the emperor seemed a little impatient and kept wiping his sweat with his handkerchief. If he messed up this time, his future would probably be smashed.
"Mr. Li, don't be anxious. I don't need to wait. Wait slowly. Even if I don't succeed, it's nothing. I can do it next time. I don't ask for it to be done in one go." Yang Jing still supports this guy who makes hot air balloons. If he doesn't support him in this pioneering thing, the spirit of exploring new things will become even more depressed. Even if he is really impatient to wait, he will still wait more patiently and support him to do it until he succeeds.
"Yes, yes...yes..." Li Zubai agreed while wiping his sweat. He only thought of one thing in his heart, that is, the balloons fly up. Before the balloons fly up, he didn't even care about the emperor's words.
"Get up, get up..." During the anxious waiting, Li Zubai finally shouted out in an exclaiming voice.
Yang Jie quickly looked at it and saw that the hot air balloon was slowly leaving the ground and really rising.
Chapter completed!
