At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 185 The Real Celestial Soldiers

In the night sky, the torches are brightly lit.

The mighty team of the White Lotus Sect, which looked like a dark cloud, did not feel the heaviness of a battle, but was very lively.

There are about several hundred people at the front, wearing five-color clothes, and holding various flags, on which are written the words "end of three periods, return to origin, return to source".

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of people came out carrying several huge Buddha statues, which seemed to be made of wood, and there were various kinds of Buddha statues.

Looking at these people from a distance, it is better to say that they are here to dance to the gods than to fight.

Because the soldiers in war usually wear short clothes for the convenience of marching, but they wear loose clothes with long skirts and wide cuffs. Zhu Qizhen can't understand. If they really want to go into battle, how can they ensure that they will not be caught by the sleeves? get tripped up...

Some people even played the suona, but they didn't know what they were blowing, anyway, it was very lively.

Without knowing it, I thought some big family in the city would hold a wedding...

Zhu Qizhen looked at it from a distance, feeling extremely embarrassed, and really couldn't figure out how these people couldn't hold back their laughter.

Immediately afterwards, these people shook their heads and yelled a few times, and then, in the middle of the night in the late autumn and winter, they took off their coats, shirtless, shaking their heads, not knowing what they were singing or chanting spell.

I have to say that the heavenly soldiers selected by the White Lotus Sect are really good, at least these can be used as cards, all of them are full of tendons and skin is a healthy wheat bran color, people can't help but have an urge to touch them ...

As they strode forward, they deliberately puffed up the tendons on their bodies, and then their mouths squirmed, as if they were constipated, making strange noises.

The more Zhu Qizhen looked at it, the more confused he became. How could this be a war? Damn it...isn't it a talent show?

If there is a film and television city in Daming, these people must be powerful actors.

However, the soldiers of the Nanjing Zuowei were already trembling and terrified.

The white lotus sect also coerced a large number of people, and the sound of the suona was like thunder, but it had already made many people kneel down.

Such a scene gives people the feeling of a god coming down to earth.

Zhu Qizhen didn't make fun of these common people. In fact, the White Lotus Sect's show was to cater to the image of "Tianwei" in the minds of ordinary people.

Most of the common people have never read any books since they were young. It can even be said that they are not only in contact with scholars on weekdays, but more of them are all kinds of witches or monks and Taoists in ruined temples.

Some people even couldn't afford to hire a doctor to see a doctor, or they didn't hire a doctor at all, but a witch.

But when it comes to Chinese New Year and holidays, or any weddings and ceremonies at home, these people are usually invited.

In their simple conception, God is omnipotent and superior, and the emperor also calls himself the Son of Heaven, which means that the emperor must also obey the will of heaven.

The reason why the White Lotus Sect can penetrate into the people quickly is, to a certain extent, precisely because they start from the psychological point of view, which is aimed at the preferences of the people.

In other words, this is what the people like to hear and see at the moment.

The more Zhu Qizhen watched, the heavier his heart became.

The living conditions in ancient times were poor, and the people suffered unspeakably. Their only spiritual sustenance was these illusory gods.

The current situation is not funny, but more of a kind of helplessness.

It can only be said that the emperor himself has a long way to go.

It's still a bit far to say this, the most urgent thing is how to deal with these heavenly soldiers who pretend to be ghosts.

Zhu Qizhen secretly thought that if he wanted to defeat them, the most important thing was to quickly boost the morale of the soldiers.

The White Lotus Sect has the name of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and when ordinary soldiers see them, they will feel timid before they start fighting, this is human nature.

Therefore, it is necessary to overwhelm the opponent in terms of morale, but this is also the most difficult.

After all, the White Lotus Sect has taken root in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and on weekdays it relies on magic stick-like operations to fool those ignorant people.

At this time, he had an idea and thought of a way.

Do you want to cut a few hairs on the spot to show that you share the same hatred with everyone?

This trick has been used in the civil fort, and the effect is really good.

"Yuan Bin, bring a knife!"

Yuan Bin didn't think much when he heard the words, and handed over the Xiuchun knife on his body.

Zhu Qizhen held the knife in one hand and pulled a strand of hair with the other...

"No, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Bin hurriedly dissuaded him: "It's just a group of thieves pretending to be gods and tricks, it's not worthy of the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen glared at him, and said unconvinced: "Emperor Taizu shaved his head and became a monk back then. What's the big deal?"

Yuan Bin didn't want to get entangled in this issue, so he said: "It's just these ignorant people who believe in the White Lotus Sect..."

"How can you blame these soldiers and civilians?"

Zhu Qizhen said sternly: "Ordinary people are precarious, and there is no rest in a good year. If there is a bad year, the whole family is hungry, and the hungry chest sticks to the back. How can we talk about enlightenment? The White Lotus Sect can take advantage of the time The root of the problem is not that the common people are stupid, it is my responsibility after all.”

Yuan Bin suddenly didn't know what to do, so he had to continue to persuade: "Your Majesty, don't say that. Since I became the commander, I have seen clearly what the Emperor does. The Emperor is a generation of Mingjun, and he always thinks of the people. "It's the officials and gentry below who used the banner of the emperor to do evil and oppress and exploit, so that the White Lotus Sect can take advantage of it. I think that the most urgent task is how to get rid of people's fear of the so-called heavenly soldiers and generals."

Zhu Qizhen said darkly and solemnly, "To get rid of the fear, let everyone see whether those so-called heavenly soldiers are really invulnerable! Cut them down, crush them, and the soldiers and civilians in this world will naturally no longer have any fear." Scared."

"I want to let the whole Jiangnan know, let everyone in the world know what is called a real heavenly soldier and general, and what is called real strength. It is said that it is easy to break the thief, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart. Today, I will break the hearts of the people in the world." You thief, these so-called heavenly soldiers and generals must die, and they will die in an ugly way, so as not to give anyone an excuse!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't have any clever strategies. To deal with such an enemy, he could only rely on his absolute and powerful fighting power. As long as his fists were hard enough, there was no need for any tricks!
Just as he was talking, the front began to become chaotic again, and someone shouted: "Heavenly soldiers are coming...Heavenly soldiers are coming..."

The scene became more and more chaotic, and the soldiers of Nanjing Zuowei were beginning to be unable to resist, showing signs of retreating.

Some people have already started chanting words, chanting all kinds of blessings and the like.

However, this move obviously has no effect.

Over the years, the White Lotus Sect took advantage of the imperial court's conquests and wars, and secretly developed among the people for decades. Just in the south of the Yangtze River, it claims to have millions of followers.

Even some people were so poor that they were starving, but they tried their best to donate the last bit of their savings to the White Lotus Sect.

As for the heavenly soldiers recruited, it is said that they are all people with strange looks, or with great strength, or with some strange abilities. It gives people the feeling that these people are born to do this.

Not to mention that they have a lot of eyeliners among the common people, just a little incitement, the common people don't know why, and the scene can't be controlled at all.

Chen Weisong looked extremely ashamed, and said: "Your Majesty, these heavenly soldiers are powerful, please move to the inner city, I will not let them step forward even if I die!"

He blamed himself very much, the emperor trusted him so much, but made it like this, at this moment, he was already prepared to die for his country.

Zhu Qizhen's face was as heavy as water. It was really unexpected that the common people were so afraid of this heavenly soldier. In addition, among the common people, there were still many people with evil intentions. , which led to such consequences.

"Damn it, I don't believe it, these heavenly soldiers are really invulnerable?"

The more Zhu Qizhen thought about it, the angrier he became. After swearing, he got on his horse and rushed forward.

Fan Zhong hurriedly followed, Yuan Bin and Chen Weisong were stunned for a moment, then got on their horses and chased after them.

Zhu Qizhen reined in his horse and came to the front of the battle, shouting: "Listen everyone, I am your emperor, tonight, I don't care what kind of dog is in front of you, even if it is a real heavenly soldier, I will kill them! Listen carefully, behead one person, reward ten taels of silver, behead ten people, be promoted to one level, behead a hundred people, and be conferred a title!"

When the troops of Nanjing Zuowei were in a panic, they suddenly heard the emperor coming, and subconsciously stopped and retreated one by one.

Although many people couldn't hear what the emperor said, but soon someone spread the original words, and immediately, everyone had a small calculation in their hearts.

Ordinary soldiers have no salary. At the time when Zhu Yuanzhang established the farming system, the definition for military households was that with so many of you, you can’t be idle at ordinary times. You have to farm by yourself and be self-sufficient. He even said brazenly, I raise millions of soldiers , without costing the common people a grain of rice.

As a result, military households became tenant tenants, and those high-level guards became big landlords.

Ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to spend two to three years.

However, the most attractive thing is not the silver reward.

Behead ten people and be promoted to one level.

An ordinary soldier can be promoted to a small banner.

According to this calculation, if you behead twenty, you will be the general banner, if you behead thirty, you will test a hundred households, if you behead forty, you will be a hundred households...

Behead a hundred people, confer the title, confer the title!
How many noble titles have there been in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years?
Calculated in this way, rewarding silver is not that important.

Such a reward is simply unheard of.

All the soldiers began to get excited, and they walked forward involuntarily.

Perhaps at this time, they have not dispelled the fear of the heavenly soldiers and generals in their hearts, but as long as the first step is taken, there will be a second step, and a third step...

Tonight, reaching the sky in one step is not a dream!
Driven by huge interests, the fear in my heart gradually disintegrated.

Someone started shouting: "Fuck the Heavenly Soldiers, I'm going to fight you!"

"Fight!"

"Fuck it!"

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

Just like the psychological warfare of the White Lotus Sect, as long as the shackles in the heart are released, everyone will immediately turn into a heavenly soldier.

Chen Weisong opened his mouth wide, looked at the soldiers rushing forward screaming, and wondered in his heart, is this still Nanjing Zuowei?
Why is it more heavenly soldiers than heavenly soldiers?
At this time, everyone charged, like a rushing flood.

Zhu Qizhen was riding on the horse, looking at the scene in front of him, he finally showed a comfortable smile.

Although the fear in the hearts of the soldiers has been completely eliminated, in terms of combat effectiveness, these heavenly soldiers do not seem to be weak.

From a distance, the movements of these people seem to be chaotic, but there seems to be some kind of formation indistinctly.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly understood that the reason why the White Lotus Sect was able to successfully create such a heavenly soldier was not entirely due to deceit, but actually had some strength.

The Nanjing Zuowei was also regarded as the elite of the imperial court's regular army. In a frontal battle, they couldn't take advantage of it at all, and the scene suddenly became anxious again.

In the night, an army rushed towards the direction of Daxiaochang.

"I'm late to rescue you, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and saw that it was Li Zhen who led the [-] battalion to come.

"Ammunition delivered?"

"Go back to the emperor, the ammunition hasn't arrived yet, at least until noon tomorrow!"

Zhu Qizhen had a thought, pointed to the front and said: "These so-called heavenly soldiers, have you seen them?"

Li Zhen replied: "I see!"

Zhu Qizhen continued: "Tell me, are they heavenly soldiers?"

Li Zhen shook her head decisively, "No."

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What did the soldiers look like that day?"

Li Zhen thought for a while, then replied: "Orders and prohibitions, don't move like a mountain, move like a gust of wind!"

Zhu Qizhen was very satisfied, and continued: "Then, is it ridiculous that these bluffing liars are pretending to be Heavenly Soldiers?"

"It's ridiculous!"

"But, have you ever thought about why these people are ridiculous?"

Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, then replied: "It's just a trick to fool the people, of course it's ridiculous."

"Since you know this is a trick to fool the people, why don't you believe it?"

"The minister...is not a fool..."

Zhu Qizhen said: "You think they are ignorant, like ants, but they put the cart before the horse. The lives of ordinary people are the most miserable. It is already a huge luxury for them to be able to eat and clothe themselves, but we are still delusional about relying on them." Isn’t it ridiculous that you know right from wrong? If you, Li Zhen, hadn’t made military exploits from your ancestors, how would you be different from these so-called fools today? So, there’s nothing ridiculous about it!”

Li Zhen nodded and said: "I know I was wrong!"

Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "I am ordering that all three thousand battalions will be equipped with bayonets. In the battle tonight, we will use white blades instead of gunpowder to kill these paper-made heavenly soldiers and let the world know. What is a real heavenly soldier like!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

After the order was issued, all the [-] Battalions took out the three-edged bayonets and stuck them on the barrels.

Zhu Qizhen has confidence in the Three Thousand Battalion. Moreover, although the power of gunpowder is very strong, it is not as enjoyable as hand-to-hand combat.

Aren't you a heavenly soldier, aren't you invulnerable to swords and guns, come on, let's see whether it's your head iron, or Lao Tzu's three-edged bayonet is more powerful!
