Chapter 330 Public Debriefing
After convinced the people, Zhu Youcheng led the troops to continue to march towards the Daming Gate.
When they arrived at the gate of Daming, Zhu Youcheng and King Xin turned over and dismounted, fell to the ground, and saluted Emperor Tianqi.
More than 10,000 Jinyiwei behind them also knelt down on the ground, shouting long live the mountain.
More than 10,000 people shouted in unison, and the sound was like a rush of mountains and seas, shaking the earth.
Although there is a saying in etiquette that long live the mountain, it is just a few hundred or thousands of people shouting in unison, so how can there be such a loud sound?
Besides, when the Donglin Party controlled the government, all officials only thought that the emperor was a puppet, and when they shouted long live, they always had weak voices.
It’s not like the Jinyiwei, who was brainwashed by Zhu Youcheng every day, treating the emperor as his idol, and shouting with great effort.
Emperor Tianqi stood on the tower of Daming Gate. Hearing the sincere voice, he couldn't help feeling a little fluttering, and said intimately: It's better for his two younger brothers to train the soldiers to be so obedient.
Some people also falsely accused that Zhu Youcheng put 30,000 Jinyiwei outside Beijing and had the intention of rebellion, which was ridiculous.
The nine thousand households sent by Emperor Tianqi were not just for a good meal. They had already reported the situation of the Xizhen Fushi to the emperor in detail.
In the Fushi Department of the West, the Jinyiwei often provides education on loyalty to the emperor and patriotic; when paying military salaries, no matter where the military salaries come from, Zhu Youcheng and King Xin said that it was given by Emperor Tianqi, which made every soldier thank Emperor Tianqi after receiving the military salaries...
If Zhu Youcheng really wanted to do something wrong, the soldiers' counterattack might be a bit exaggerated, but at least no one would rebel with him.
Zhu Youcheng said it well that the Jinyiwei and even the entire Ming army were the army of Emperor Tianqi. He and all the generals were assistants to help the emperor train and command the army, rather than the masters of the army.
Such a younger brother said he would rebel, what a joke!
Emperor Tianqi smiled and nodded, saying, "I heard that Zhu Aiqing and King Xin did a beautiful job in the southwest. They wiped out Anbangyan, who was entrenched in Guizhou and She Chongming rebels hiding in Sichuan, and designed to find out the reputation of Amizhou Tusi Pu who was preparing to take action. They made great contributions."
All the officials and the people gasped, and the southwest was pacified? It was too fast.
A few days ago, it was said that Guiyang City was surrounded by rebels again, and there were quite a lot of people, so why are they missing now? Could it be that She Chongming and An Bangyan were impatient to live and disbanded the troops and let the Jinyiwei arrest him?
"But you two have been leaving Beijing for more than half a year, and I miss you very much. I specially ordered you to enter Beijing.
"Because of the hasty itinerary, you are not convenient to escort the prisoners. Unfortunately, you won the battle but cannot enjoy the glory of the prisoners offered by the Meridian Gate. I feel quite guilty."
Emperor Tianqi stood on the city gate tower. No matter how loud the voice was, Zhu Youcheng and others could not hear it, so one hundred and eight great Han generals passed on his words to the people under the city tower.
Zhu Youcheng, King Xin and more than 10,000 Jinyiwei replied in unison: "I dare not."
Emperor Tianqi nodded with satisfaction, not arrogant when he won, but lost - if he lost - such soldiers were the most powerful soldier in the world trained by Zhu Youcheng, and they will surely lead the Ming Dynasty from one victory to another.
Emperor Tianqi said: "Zhu Aiqing, Wang Xin, and all the soldiers of the Jinyiwei. Qing and others are equal."
With a "slam" sound, everyone downstairs stood up.
He heard it right, only one sound. The Jinyiwei had not trained in advance, but his movements were surprisingly consistent at this moment.
The people at the scene, regardless of the officials and the people, all gave a secret thumbs up: the orders are prohibited, and it is indeed an army that can win consecutive battles.
Seeing this, Emperor Tianqi said, "I have heard Zhu Aiqing say, 'The military and civilians unite, and see who can compete in the world.' I have always been a little unbelievable. The so-called thousands of people have a thousand thoughts, even thousands of people are like this. What's more, what about thousands of people? Today, looking at the Jinyiwei, it is indeed a united person. With this army, the Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"
Up and down the city tower, both officers and soldiers shouted together, and the sound was like a tsunami.
After the voice subsided slightly, Emperor Tianqi said, "Zhu Aiqing, tell me how you suppressed the rebellion in the southwest?"
Zhu Youcheng bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said, "This time I went to the southwest, all thanks to the emperor's wise leadership, the brave battle of King Xin, and the active cooperation of the governor of the four provinces, Lord Zhu Xieyuan, won the victory. I just followed the flow, fought several victories and established some minor achievements, and was really ashamed."
Emperor Tianqi smiled slightly and said to himself: "Brother Cheng is now more and more able to speak, and he praises me high, making the people more convinced of me, and avoiding the jealousy of all officials, and a lot of trouble."
Then, Zhu Youcheng explained the details of the southwest battle in detail.
When it came to the siege of 200,000 rebels, everyone was sweating in their hands.
When talking about the 50,000 thieves' dilemma between the inner and outer city walls, and finally turned into ashes in the raging fire, everyone said intimately: "It's time!"
When talking about the Jinyiwei cavalry set out and swept through Anbangyan's rebels, and defeated the rebels, everyone was as happy as drinking a glass of ice water in June.
When Jiannu sent people to support the rebellion in the southwest, everyone was furious and secretly cursed the damn Nuer Hachi - no, he was dead, so let him suffer more in hell.
When talking about the Jinyiwei using the method of making noise, he forced the rebels entrenched in the chicken hole to get lost. When he was unintentional to fight, everyone was stunned. They could not have imagined that there was such an immoral tactic.
When talking about the Jinyiwei building cannons on the top of the mountain and bombarding She Chongming's old nest, everyone held their heads and chests up. This was the victory of the Ming Dynasty's technology and the glory of the Ming Dynasty.
When talking about the fact that Zhu Youcheng designed the fact that he had made a famous and conspired to rebel, everyone laughed. They found that Lord Zhu was also embarrassed.
Of course, when Zhu Youcheng was telling, he used the Spring and Autumn style of writing, such as the incident of him being shot, so he would not tell him. Otherwise, if Emperor Tianqi knew about it, he would have to criticize himself.
During this period, Zhu Youcheng was even less able to support Emperor Tianqi, saying that his ideas were either the tricks of Emperor Tianqi or were inspired by the emperor. In short, he made Emperor Tianqi extremely great, extremely bright and extremely correct.
This is not because Zhu Youcheng is used to engaging in the camp, but because the worst moment of the Little Ice River in the late Ming Dynasty is about to come. If the emperor is not established, the people will have no backbone, and the chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty will be revealed to the world.
A huge empire cannot be eliminated by external forces. Internal unrest can turn the empire into flowing water like a snow sculpture in the sun.
At that time, maybe Jiannu will pick up a super cheap one, enter the Central Plains, and drag China into the abyss of corruption and ignorance, just like in history.
Emperor Tianqi did not understand Zhu Youcheng's thoughts and thought to himself: Why did Zhu Youcheng become so slippery? What was his intention to push the credit on him? Are you afraid that I would "get the birds all over, hide the good bow; the cunning rabbit dies, and the hunting dogs cook"?
He said that he and his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang are not of the same personality as his ancestor. Even if they are of the same personality, Zhu Youcheng doesn’t have to be afraid, because Zhu Yuanzhang had a different surname and a cooking family.
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprisingly good to his son. In addition to giving each son a large fiefdom, they would give soldiers when they wanted, food when they wanted, and money when they wanted. They were purely a doting father.
Emperor Tianqi looked at the admiring eyes of the masses and couldn't help but feel a little fluttering: "Brother Cheng is really, I won't be the case. However, Brother Cheng has a purpose in doing things, and this may not be as simple as he thought. Just wait until he enters the palace and ask, anyway, what are the words between brothers that cannot be said explicitly?"
Emperor Tianqi remembered that Zhu Youcheng brought him a tiger skin when he went to Liaodong last time. This time he didn't know what he would bring back from Guizhou again.
Thinking of Zhu Youcheng's gift, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but look forward to the meeting after the ceremony.
It took Zhu Youcheng a long time to finish his speech.
It’s not that he was deliberately talking about it, but that many things happened along the way, and these things were still linked one by one. No matter which paragraph he told, the story could not be explained clearly.
It took a long time before warm applause broke out from the Daming Gate.
Zhu Youcheng and King Xin once again led the soldiers to shout long live the mountain.
After the ceremony, Zhu Youcheng asked Chen Guoqi to lead the soldiers back to the imperial village in western Jingxi.
First, many of them were already home and family, so they asked them to go back early to reunite with their relatives; second, although Beijing was big, they could not let go of more than 10,000 people - Emperor Tianqi was very determined and asked him to lead troops into the city, which was to give him a face. If he stayed stupidly and didn't leave, it would be troublesome if he caused something to happen.
The soldiers left, but Zhu Youcheng and King Xin did not leave.
They took a carriage and headed straight to the palace. It seemed that Zhu Youcheng, the disaster, came to give gifts to the emperor again, trying to achieve his ulterior motive.
Unfortunately, their gift this time is a bit disgusting. Will Emperor Apocalypse like it? (To be continued)
