The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 124 Opening Ceremony

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Of course, I didn't force the people below to shave their hair!"

"It's just that the people below saw that I had cut my hair, so they all learned to cut my hair too!"

"That's how it works!"

Chen Yonghua got up from his seat, bowed to Zhu Hongyu, and said.

"The general's ambition and determination, I admire you!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded with a smile.

Not long after, Chen Yonghua resigned.

Chen Wenbin came to see Zhu Hongyu again and reported to Zhu Hongyu.

"General, Manila has sent someone again, wanting to redeem prisoners of war from our side!"

"The subordinates don't know what the regulations are, please show me the general!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, grinned at the corner of his mouth and said.

"Our Liberation Army is short of labor right now, how can we let those prisoners of war go?"

"But don't reject them directly, just talk slowly!"

It is now April of 1661, and there are at most two or three months before the Spanish galleon fleet arrives in Manila.

In other words, after two or three months at most, the decisive battle between the Liberation Army and the Spaniards will break out!

Before that, whether it is the Liberation Army or the Spaniards, both sides must maintain a tacit understanding and maintain a friendly face.

……

In 1661 in the Western calendar, the tenth day of April!

On this day, there were cheering crowds inside and outside Lingayen.

Today is the day when the military government of the Liberation Army holds the opening ceremony.

Countless people took to the streets spontaneously and cheered loudly towards the military government's government office.

They may not have read much, or they may not have much knowledge, but they can clearly tell the difference between good and bad life!

Compared with the days under the Spaniards, the days under the Liberation Army are simply heaven!
The heavy tax is gone, no one dares to bully them, and almost every household has been divided into fields. In the eyes of ordinary people, this day is no different from heaven.

Although they can be divided, it is because almost every household has men who join the army and become the recovery army!
But even so, the common people are grateful to the military government!
……

The military government built a high platform outside Lingayen City. On both sides of the street from the Guangfu Military Office to the high platform, soldiers and soldiers of the recovery stood solemnly.

The plate armor on their bodies reflected the sun, and the bayonets on the muzzles were extremely sharp.

There is a certain distance between people, coupled with neat attire and weapons, a tidy force spreads out.

Amidst the cheers of the surrounding people and the eager eyes of the soldiers of the Liberation Army standing on both sides of the street.

Zhu Hongyu walked out of the government office of the military government, surrounded by many officials of the military government, walked along the street, towards the high platform outside the city.

Along the way, the cheers basically never stopped, people kept shouting long live the Liberation Army, long live the general.

Zhu Hongyu also waved to the crowd from time to time!
The straight military uniform is perfect for him, and the saber around his waist highlights his military temperament.

Amid the cheers, Zhu Hong strode onto the high platform.

Around the high platform, there are soldiers of the Restoration Army guarding them, heavily armored and lined with knives and guns.

On the tall flagpole, the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty fluttered high.

Slightly lower than the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag is a large blood-red flag with the word Guangfu embroidered with gold thread on the flag, which is the military flag of the Guangfu Army.

Zhu Hongyu boarded the high platform, turned around, looked at the magnificent scene of thousands of people under the high platform, and heard the long live cheers in his ears, his face showed a trace of obsession.

He believed that there was no man in the whole world who could endure such a temptation!
The view of all the people is really the view of all the people!
Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and spoke loudly.

"Since Jiashen, Zhongzhou has fallen, and mountains and rivers have been destroyed!"

"The Qing captives ravaged China, and the country and society were lost. Every time they killed our Han people, they even used the policy of shaving their hair and making clothes easier to destroy our clothing culture. With the Eight Banners system, they enslaved our Han people and transformed our hundreds of millions of Han people again. He has become an inferior person, and every time he hears about it, there is no one who does not feel sad!"

"In the past, there was an emperor Taizu who carried a three-foot sword. It started at the end of the country and chased the Mongolian Yuan to the north."

"Save my Shenzhou Li Shu, maintain my Chinese orthodoxy, the sun and the moon reopen the Great Song Dynasty's pride, it is admirable!"

"Today the world has fallen, and Shenzhou has fallen to Hu Chen again. How can China be without heroes?"

"Today, the military government of the Restoration Army is established, and I, Zhu Hongyu, a descendant of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is the governor of the military government."

"In this life, you should uphold the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Taizu to drive out the Tartars and restore China as your duty!"

"My sons and daughters, hold the swords and guns in our hands, and tell those Tartars who want to ride on the heads of our Han people to make a fortune, that there are heroes in this world of China!"

"Tell them that I want hundreds of millions of Han Chinese to be their slaves and let them be enslaved like livestock, unless I wait until all of them die!"

"Today, I swear here that in this life, I will restore the Central Plains and rebuild my Han family's rivers and mountains!"

"But there is still a breath left, and we must strengthen the ambition of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains."

"There is still a breath left, and there is no partiality!"

"There is still a breath left, and there is no partiality!"

While Zhu Hongyu was speaking, the soldiers with loud voices standing near the high platform were repeating his words.

After Zhu Hongyu's words fell, it seemed as if the stage had been rehearsed, and there were endless cheers.

"Long live the governor, long live the recovery army!"

"Long live the governor, long live the recovery army!"

This is the cheers of ordinary people, but the cheers of the Liberation Army are somewhat different.

"Expel the Tartars, restore China, rebuild Ming Dynasty, revive China!"

"Expel the Tartars, restore China, rebuild Ming Dynasty, revive China!"

"..."

The shouts of soldiers and civilians mixed together, not only did not appear to be chaotic, but it seemed to be united!
Chen Yonghua was also watching the ceremony under the high platform. Seeing this scene, his heart was extremely complicated.

It can be seen that Zhu Hongyu's prestige in the recovery army is very high, and Guo Xingye is afraid that it is nothing more than that to Zheng Jun!
But this is not incomprehensible!

The Restoration Army was originally created by Zhu Hongyu. From the military system to the tactics of warfare, it was all formulated by him, and the generals in the army were also his confidantes.

Is it strange that Zhu Hongyu has great prestige in the army?
What really surprised him was Zhu Hongyu's prestige among the people. Shouting slogans when the people cheered seemed like a rehearsal.

At first glance, there is no less shouting!
Chen Yonghua didn't know, it wasn't like it was rehearsed, but it was really rehearsed!

Maybe people in this era don't pay much attention to the sense of ritual, but Zhu Hongyu knows that the sense of ritual is very important.

Only with a sense of ritual can we better unite people's hearts!

Zhu Hongyu continued to speak after the common people and sergeants under the high platform quieted down.

"Order, the military parade begins!"

"The paraded troops are ready to enter the field!"

The space in front of the high platform was cleared to make room for the parading team to enter.

Let the flags flutter, and the drums and thunders sound!
Boom!dong dong!dong dong dong!
