In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 250 Founding Military Parade

"I was not unjustly defeated that day."

Hong Chengchou was silent for a while, then sighed with a look of despair.

Sun Chuanting on the side frowned and remained silent, looking at the army outside the city with a look full of sadness.

Obviously, he is extremely worried about the future of Ming Dynasty.

"Both of you are people of real talent and learning, and both have ambitions in their hearts. I won't beat around the bush. I think you two know better than me what the Ming Dynasty is like now. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses the wood where it roosts." , a good minister chooses the master and acts.

Now our country is about to implement the New Deal in Datong and Xuanfu, and is in urgent need of a capable minister to take the lead. I wonder if the two of you are willing to work with me to work together to create a peaceful and prosperous age that surpasses the Han and Tang Dynasties? "

Both of them are smart people. Lin Rui didn't hesitate anymore. After showing his strength, he went straight to the point without any nonsense at all.

"The New Deal mentioned by King Hua must be what is stated in the memorandum. With all due respect, such a radical land policy is no more than a scourge to the gentry and landlords in the world. It would be difficult to implement it in earnest. Ascend to heaven!”

Hong Chengchou said slowly and shook his head after speaking, obviously not optimistic about Lin Rui's new policy.

"What I want to create is a truly prosperous age, a prosperous age where everyone in the world can have enough food and clothing, and have enough food and clothing, instead of the so-called prosperous times in history. Naturally, I want to set a precedent in history and dare to be the first for the world. , if even a single new land policy cannot be implemented, how can we talk about real peace in the world?"

Lin Rui said firmly, if he only wanted to be the emperor and establish one of the so-called unified and prosperous dynasties in history, he would not postpone the attack.

Instead, they directly took advantage of the situation to conquer Beijing and destroy the Ming Dynasty, and then issued a memorandum to ensure the interests of the gentry and landlords. I am afraid that the world can be pacified within a year or two.

But that kind of so-called prosperous age in history, that kind of dynasty that changed the soup without changing the medicine, meant nothing to him.

Both of them are human spirits, so they can naturally understand the meaning of his words.

Originally, the two of them thought that Lin Rui came up with such a land policy because he was from a lower class background, hated the landlords and gentry, and had limited knowledge of the situation. Their ideas were too ideal. They also thought that although Lin Rui was a genius in the military, he was not good at governing the country. In terms of politics, he is a fool who knows nothing.

After all, there are too many such military geniuses and political idiots in history, but the final outcome is undoubtedly a dismal one.

However, after listening to Lin Rui's heroic words, the two of them realized that Lin Rui was not ignorant of politics.

But he is really ambitious, even pushing the gentry and landlords in the world to the opposite side, to realize his ideals and ambitions and create an unprecedented prosperous age.

At this moment, the two of them sincerely admired Lin Rui. After all, not any hero can resist the temptation of the emperor. As long as he can unify the world as soon as possible and become the ninth-five-year-old, he will not care about ambitions and ideals, let alone Doesn't care about the nature of the dynasty.

"I didn't expect that King Hua would have such great ambition and courage. Thanks to your great love, Hong will be willing to work hard in the future. If you are lucky enough to create a truly peaceful and prosperous era with your king, it will not be in vain for Hong to study hard for more than ten years."

After seeing the strength of the Chinese army, Hong Chengchou had intended to join Lin Rui to help him achieve imperial supremacy and leave a name in history. The reason why he refused to surrender was just to increase his own worth. Now he saw that Lin Rui was not the Wu Fu, who knew nothing about martial arts, no longer hesitated and worshiped directly.

After all, given the current situation, as long as Lin Rui doesn't commit suicide, there will be absolutely no problem in unifying the world.

The key is that there are no decent talents in China now. It is said that the chief minister is still a scholar, and there are very few scholars, so that some women have to be appointed to hold important positions such as ministers and ministers.

If we don't surrender immediately, how long will we wait?
"Haha, okay, Mr. Hong is indeed worthy of being a hero!"

Lin Rui also laughed and helped him up. He was not surprised at all that Hong Chengchou would surrender. After all, this old dog had even committed traitors in history, let alone surrendered to him, a Han Ming master.

So what he really wanted to recruit was Sun Chuanting.

Then he looked at Sun Chuanting and said: "Mr. Sun, the Ming Dynasty is hopeless. Chongzhen is admirable in terms of personal ethics, but he is not a qualified emperor. He is not only mean and ungrateful, but also indecisive. You Why should we die for such an emperor?

Let's surrender together. Wouldn't it be better to create an unprecedented peaceful age with this king? "

"Yes, brother Boya, now that the world is in chaos, the people are in ruins, and the court is full of treacherous villains with corpses lying on their backs, and your Majesty has listened to the slander, the country of the Ming Dynasty is completely hopeless.

The king is an unparalleled lord with great ambitions. This is a great opportunity for you and me to display our ambitions. If we can do our best to assist the king in achieving hegemony and saving all people, why should we care about the small details? "

Although Hong Chengchou was eager for Sun Chuanting to surrender in order to reduce a strong competitor, he still persuaded Lin Rui earnestly.

A trace of hesitation flashed across Sun Chuanting's face. Obviously, if he said he didn't want to surrender, it would be absolutely false. However, he could not overcome the hurdle in his heart, and finally rejected Lin Rui's invitation.

"Everyone has his own ambitions. Brother Hong wants to surrender. Sun has nothing to say, but Sun has no choice but to obey. Please forgive me, King Hua!"

"Forget it, Mr. Sun doesn't want to surrender. I won't force him." Lin Rui saw that Sun Chuanting was still insisting, but he didn't force him. He waved and ordered people to take him down and continue to put him under house arrest. Anyway, there is a Hong Chengchou who can't do it for the time being. That's enough.

The next day, Lin Rui took a group of surrendered generals and the army and set off back to Datong, leaving only Huang Ben behind to garrison Xuanfu with [-] infantry and [-] garrison troops.

When we returned to Datong, it was already mid-April. The wheat in the fields along the way had grown to three to four inches. Lin Rui was very satisfied to see that the fields were not deserted.

After entering the city, Lin Rui moved directly into the Prince Dai's Mansion. He did not kill all the Prince Dai's family, but planned to execute only the Prince Dai and some of his direct relatives. Those who had the Five Fortunes would be demoted to civilians.

For the founding and coronation ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Lin Rui also chose an auspicious day again, and set it on April 28.

Although Lin Rui did not want to move the capital to Datong for the time being, he chose to hold the king's ceremony in Datong. After all, the royal palaces in Datong City are all ready-made, and only one main hall has been built in the naturalization, which is really too shabby.

After receiving the notice, Zhang Han, Zhang Xiuying and other ministers also set off for Datong as soon as possible.

The magistrates of various prefectures and counties in Datong Xuanfu, as well as the commanders of the guards and the thousands of households guarding Qianhu Station, including some prominent gentry and wealthy households, were also invited and hurried to Datong.

Lin Rui is not a very particular person, and the title of king is only temporary, so the ceremony is simple and ends with a formality. The main thing is to show off his force.

After the ceremony, Lin Rui took everyone directly to the Nancheng Tower and held a grand military parade again.

"Report to your Majesty that the officers and soldiers under review are ready. Please review by Your Majesty!"

"start!"

Lin Rui did not ride a horse, but boarded a chariot and drove out from the city gate. The parade commander was Huang Ben, who rode up to the chariot to ask for instructions.

Following Lin Rui's order, rows of horns on the top of the city sounded at the same time, followed by the thumping of war drums.

At this time, ten infantry phalanxes, plus two cavalry battalions and firearms battalions, were already lined up neatly outside the city.

Whether it was the demoted generals on the top of the city or the ordinary gentry, everyone looked at the neat army outside the city with fear.

Especially the sound of the war drums struck their hearts like hammers. Facing such a powerful army, no one could have any resistance.

The chariots passed in front of each phalanx one after another. Lin Rui also raised a palm and shouted loudly:
"Hello, soldiers!"

"Long live the king!"

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

"Defend your home and country and fight the enemy bravely!"

The soldiers in each phalanx shouted in unison and raised their weapons high.

Amidst the loud shouts, Lin Rui on the chariot was also excited, and the young soldiers were even more excited by this shocking scene.

Until Lin Rui completed his review and drove his carriage into the city gate again, the soldiers outside the city were still all red in the face.

Lin Rui climbed onto the tower again, and just when everyone thought it was about to end, the drums and horns sounded again.

I saw that the phalanxes outside the city began to move one by one, and they passed under the city one by one with neat steps. First, there were two cavalry battalions. When they came near the city gate, they all pulled out their sabers and said, The word "kill" was shouted violently, followed by ten infantry phalanxes, and finally the firearms battalion pulling red cannons.

This new way of military parade shocked everyone on the city, especially when the phalanxes passed by the city in neat steps and shouted the word "kill", the military attachés and landlords The gentry all looked pale, their legs weakened and they almost fell to the ground.

After all the phalanxes passed, no one knew who was taking the lead. Everyone on the tower knelt down and shouted long live the king.

Including Hong Chengchou, Wang Pu and other civil servants and military generals, they all prostrated themselves on the ground from the bottom of their hearts, and they were all more confident in China.

"Be flat!"

Lin Rui was very satisfied when he saw everyone's reaction. He knew that the effect of the military parade he had carefully prepared was already reflected. He believed that the implementation of the next new policy would be more effective with less effort.

With the end of the military parade, more than a dozen direct descendants of King Dai were taken directly outside the city. After the charges were announced, they were beheaded one by one in public.
