Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

In the eleventh year of Hongwu, Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing, was sentenced to death by his family for treason.

This was the second founding hero to die after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

And still in the same year.

For a time, there was a rumbling sound, and all the generals in Huaixi were in danger.

Zhu Yuanzhang also took this opportunity to carry out drastic reforms in the army and take back military power from these Huaixi generals.

Liao Junjun, who claimed to know more inside information, was still imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison.

At this time, no one dares to say a word.

So the result of waiting for him can be imagined.

Therefore, judging from the results, this mutiny was definitely a good thing for Ming Dynasty.

And it is far better to let conflicts break out than to force them down.

The existence of contradictions is not terrible. What is terrible is that we dare not face the contradictions and let them accumulate and deepen.

It's like when a couple has conflicts. Many times they quarrel and talk about it, and the knot is resolved.

If you don't deal with conflicts every time you face them, and they continue to accumulate until the moment they really break out, things will be completely out of control.

This time the turmoil only occurred in the Youye Army of the capital, which was a great blessing.

Of course, this is also because Lan Yu and the others do not really want to rebel. Otherwise, if they really bloom all over the country, it will be really difficult to deal with them for a while. Even if the rebellion was suppressed, the people of the Ming Dynasty had finally managed to live a good life over the years, and they had to be devastated by war. This was obviously not what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see.

On Zhu Biao's side, he began to use newspapers as a carrier to sing praises to these Hongwu veterans, promote the spirit of Hongwu veterans' dedication to the country, and at the same time introduce the glory represented by the Hongwu Medal.

Having been with Yang Xian for these years, Zhu Biao now understands the importance of publicity work and is able to use it skillfully.

Yang Xian, who was in Yangzhou, saw this scene and showed a happy smile on his face.

Showing the highest respect to military personnel is something that any country in any era should do.

Yang Xian put down the latest issue of Daming Daily and decided to add another fire to Zhu Biao.

He asked his men to compile scripts describing the founding of the Ming Dynasty and how these veterans sacrificed their blood and made selfless contributions.

Then it is handed over to storytellers in restaurants and tea shops across the country for publicity.

Yang Xian has been raising this team of storytellers for a long time, just to use it for propaganda wars when necessary in the future.

When we first took over the Shen Family Restaurant property, a large part of it was for this service.

Autumn, the eleventh year of Hongwu.

The Ming Dynasty's first military conscription finally officially began in all counties and counties across the country.

Yangzhou.

By the Slender West Lake, a solemn and majestic military compound was already crowded with people, and more people were pouring in this direction from outside.

The sky is filled with thin autumn rain.

Two people holding umbrellas stood side by side.

You must know that Yangzhou has been known as the land of fireworks since ancient times.

The ancients used "fireworks" to describe the spring scenery with willows like smoke and flowers like brocade. Fireworks descended on Yangzhou in March to buy spring.

It's prosperous, but it exudes an air of decadence.

But under Yang Xian's governance over the years, Yangzhou has completely transformed.

Under the cold autumn rain.

The streets and alleys are full of scenes of people touching each other and umbrellas touching umbrellas.

These people are here today with the same goal in mind.

That is to serve the country by joining the army!
Looking at this scene, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh with emotion and glanced at the man next to him.

This man not only reborn Yangzhou, he also reborn the entire Ming Dynasty!

"The first batch of conscription should have started over in the capital. Is it really okay if His Highness the Crown Prince is not there to preside?" Yang Xian said with a chuckle.

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly and said, "My father is over there in the capital."

Zhu Biao looked at the young men in the distance. He was extremely sure that these people were not forced to join the army because they were old, because each of these young men had light in their eyes.

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, then asked what was on his mind.

"Yang Qing has seen this scene happening from the beginning, right?"

Yang Xian said: "Inheritance of fire."

In Yang Xian's eyes, as long as these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are given the honor they deserve, the people all over the world know who relied on them to conquer the world today.

As long as you do this, everything will be a matter of course.

"It has been eleven years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Those children protected by the Ming army from the Yuan people have now grown up. They will continue to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors to protect more people of the Ming Dynasty."

After listening to Yang Xian's words, Zhu Biao was greatly shocked.

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhu Yuanzhang asked the veterans to delay their discharge and let them meet the new recruits for the last time before they were discharged.

That's what Yang Xian said, these four simple words, inheritance of fire.

On this matter, it was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Xian had the same idea.

"By the way, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I also created a military song for our Ming army." Yang Xian suddenly stopped and said.

"Military song?" Zhu Biao asked.

Yang Xian nodded and explained: "The Qin Dynasty's "No Clothes", the Western Han Dynasty's "Great Wind Song", the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Horse Treading on the Swallows", and the Tang Dynasty's "The King of Qin Breaks the Formation Music", these are all military songs. "

"We, the Ming Dynasty, also need our own military songs."

Military songs are an important part of military culture. They not only reflect the spiritual culture of the military, but also play a very important role in enhancing the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the military.

"Don't you see, the Han Dynasty's army, the weak-headed prisoners, please grow their tassels!"

"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun!"

"A man should be in a dangerous career, why should he let a scholarly scholar ruin his life?"

"The situation is that the country is in danger as if it were full of eggs, and the feathers are competing with each other without stopping."

"Abandon my pen of the past and my pen of the past, and keep my pen of war, war of war."

"More than 100,000 comrades can be called upon to join the army together while shouting war songs!"

"Shout war songs and join the army together!"

"."

Yang Xian suddenly started singing.

Zhu Biao on the side listened, feeling his heart surge, and in the end he even felt his scalp numb.

Zhu Biao suddenly grabbed Yang Xian's hand and said, "Yang Qing, what's the name of this song?"

"Let's call it Congjun Song." Yang Xian said.

In fact, "The Military Song of Intellectual Youth" is strictly a song with only words and no music. Yang Xian used the tune of the New Fourth Army's military song.

When Yang Xian first heard this song, it was because of the version that was sung a cappella by the leader of my group, Chief Ayi. Even though he has been a man for two generations, Yang Xian still remembers that he had the same reaction as Zhu Biao now.

The flag is fluttering and the horse is rustling. Unite and forge ahead, and it’s now time for a good man to serve the country!

After a month of hard work, the Ming Dynasty's conscription work finally came to an end.

Each and every young man will finally enter the military camp today and truly become a warrior of the Ming Dynasty.

Today is also the day when Hongwu veterans retire.

The capital, the main camp of the Chinese army.

"Senior, are you here to attend the retirement ceremony today?"

A new recruit who had just arrived at the military camp looked at an old man in casual clothes and asked.

The old man turned around, looked at the young and energetic face of the recruit, and said with a smile: "Yes."

The moment the other party turned his head, the recruit also saw clearly the appearance of the old man.

His face is wrinkled and his temples are gray.

In the New Year, I couldn't help but feel emotional. He was old enough to be his grandfather, but he was still protecting his family and country for the Ming Dynasty. It was really admirable.

Grandpa, you must have achieved many military exploits.

"Senior, why are you here just now? The retirement ceremony is about to begin. I will take you to the scene now." The recruit said enthusiastically.

The old man nodded and said, "Then I'll bother you little brother."

The new recruits took the senior citizens and jogged all the way to the Veterans Hall.

"Why did the young man join the army?" In front of the school field, the old man stopped and looked at the new recruits and asked.

"My name is Zhang Wu. I joined the army to protect my family and the country. Do you dare to ask my seniors about my dignity?" the recruit asked.

The old man smiled and replied: "What a great defender of our country. Our surname is Zhu and our given name is Chongba."

"Zhu Chong."

Halfway through reading, the recruit instinctively closed his mouth, his face full of shock.

But when he came back to his senses, Zhu Yuanzhang was already walking to the center of the school ground.

When the generals who had been waiting for a long time saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they immediately ran over and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to be polite.

The retirement honors ceremony officially began.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He and other generals awarded these retired officers and soldiers medals.

All the new recruits watched the ceremony.

After the retirement ceremony.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the high platform in the center of the school ground and gave his final speech. He pointed to the gate of the military camp, looked at the young faces of the recruits, and said loudly: "Your predecessors spent countless lives and blood to expel He conquered the people of Yuan Dynasty and conquered this country."

"From today on, they hand over the torch in your hands. When they step out of the gate of the military camp, they become the ones you need to protect with your lives!"

The new recruits watching the ceremony stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Protect the home and the country! Protect the home and the country!"

At the same time, the military band also sang military songs.

Soul-stirring military songs echoed over the military camp.

"The flag is fluttering and the horse is rustling."

"Good man, good man, it's now time to serve the country!"

The military reform has come to a perfect conclusion.

This Ming Dynasty lion with heritage and faith will surely be invincible in this world in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely sure.

On that day, Liao Junjun provided a list of people involved in the turmoil.

Zhu Yuanzhang just asked his Jin Yiwei to conduct a secret investigation without making any announcement.

After a few months, everyone thought the storm was over.

Only Hu Weiyong knew in his heart that with Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, if he did not have an attack, it would be because he had not found conclusive evidence, or he was waiting for a better opportunity to have an attack again in the future.

Therefore, the sense of crisis in Hu Weiyong's heart became stronger and stronger.

Especially in recent days, not only military affairs, but also many important and urgent matters in the court were discussed by Zhu Yuanzhang at the military aircraft office. Many times, their Zhongshu Shengzhen becomes a microphone for uploading and distributing information.

On this day, Hu Weiyong welcomed a guest to his house.

Hu Mansion, in the secret room.

"Go back and tell your general that the time has not come yet, and you still need to lie dormant." Old God Hu Weiyong was leaning on the chair, holding the tea cup, gently knocking the rim of the tea, without drinking, just heard the sound. "Let your generals take it easy. As long as you don't give Ming a reason to send troops, I will mediate."

At this time, the person kneeling on one knee in front of Hu Weiyong was none other than a subordinate from General Ashikaga Takauji of the Japanese shogunate.

In addition to the mortal enemy Mobei, whether it was the previous Goryeo or the recent Xiaoliuqiu Island, in Hu Weiyong's view, it was all his own fault.

As long as the Japanese Ashikaga Takauji listens to him and does not take the initiative to provoke disputes, Hu Weiyong is very confident that he can prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from sending troops to Japan.

There are many reasons. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they fought for many years, conquered Yunnan and Liaodong, and expanded externally to Mobei, Korea, and Xiaoliuqiu Island. They needed to recuperate and recuperate. In a short period of time, it was really not appropriate to resort to war easily.

Also, Japan did not do anything wrong. In order to apologize to the previous rogues and Japanese pirates who harassed the border, Japan also donated Shijian and other places to the King of Japan, Zhu Xi, to expand his fiefdom.

If Ming Dynasty sends troops at this time, it will cause panic in all the surrounding small countries.

Also, Japan is far overseas after all, and if it launches war at will, there are still uncontrollable factors in the outcome.

In Hu Weiyong's view, every reason is tenable.

With so many countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty, in Hu Weiyong's view, Japan was the most valuable.

Not only because of Japan’s national power, but also because of Japan’s ambition!

Hu Weiyong was really shocked when he learned that Japan had developed a new type of firearms on his own.

But later, after understanding it, I found that it was limited to Hongwu rifles.

But even this alone is astonishing enough.

"Yes, Hu Xiangguo."

The black-clothed ninja knelt on the ground and spoke.

Hu Weiyong was silent for a moment, and then said: "It can take as little as three to five years, or as many as ten years. The day your master is looking forward to will come. Before that, you need to accumulate strength."

"Not only new firearms, gunpowder also needs innovation. The formula cannot be obtained directly, but I can get the gunpowder. You must decipher and study it in the shortest possible time."

"As for Japan, let your general establish a good relationship with Zhu Xi. After all, he is in Japan. If he detects any clues, all the efforts will be in vain."

"Yes!" The black-clothed ninja lowered his head.

After all, the person in front of him was the Prime Minister of the Ming Empire, and the pressure on him was greater than that of their general Ashikaga Takauji.

Hu Weiyong said: "Continue the previous Red Sleeve Move plan and let him expand the scope. Also, let me tell you generals, if you can plant a nail next to one person, he will be better than countless people."

"May I ask Mr. Hu, who is this person?" the black-clothed ninja asked.

"Yang Guogong is the great Ming lord who conquered Mobei."

"Yang Xian!" (End of this chapter)
