Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 1012: The army marches out with great pride
If someone in later generations who has read too many historical novels online saw this scene, he would probably jump up on the spot.

people!
So many people!
A man wearing full armor, holding a weapon, full of murderous intent!
In the middle is Zhu Yuanzhang’s big banner, which has the word “Ming” on it with a bright yellow background and red characters.

Following this large banner is a sea flag with red characters on a black background.

This represents Master Hu.

At this time, Master Hu, wearing full armor, was sitting on a jet-black horse without a single stray hair.

He wore a bright red dragon robe inside, a layer of fine steel armor outside, and a golden helmet with a tiger head and a hairpin. In addition, he held a black and heavy Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand and two copper maces, one long and one short, hanging next to the saddle. Who dared to say that he was a civil official?
Didn’t you see that all the soldiers and generals were behaving obediently towards Master Hu?

That was all the prestige that Master Hu had built up over the past ten days.

No matter whether you fight on horseback, on foot, with weapons, or with fists or feet, no one can last more than three rounds against Master Hu in a one-on-one fight.

Even if it's one against two or even one against three, Master Hu can easily defeat the opponent.

A group of arrogant and brave generals drawn from the imperial guards and the garrisons around Yingtian have suffered enough from Master Hu in the past few days.

The men in the army are all straightforward men, and the rules they follow are very simple.

If you can fight, then I recognize you as a man;

You are the best fighter in the army, so I give you a thumbs up!
If you can allocate military supplies and come up with methods that no one else has, I will be completely impressed.

Therefore, although the training time was only about ten days, in fact, Master Hu’s prestige in the army is really not low.

At least under the current circumstances, there is absolutely no problem in enforcing orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was also wearing armor, would glance at Master Hu from time to time.

"Damn, isn't Weiyong's performance a bit too much!?"

"This makes us, the emperor, seem like a supporting role. Isn't this a bit too eye-catching?"

"Well, we have to get going quickly. We have not done anything yet!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang tapped the horse's belly lightly, rode slowly past the crowd, and said in a deep voice.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

A group of elite soldiers who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang in conquering the world and establishing the Ming Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, now looked eagerly at the old man in front of them, who had white hair and beard but still had a straight back and a strong build, and shouted loudly.

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"

Hearing this familiar roar, Zhu Yuanzhang felt his body heating up and a warm current rushing through his body. He raised his head and shouted loudly.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The Ming Dynasty's brave soldiers who were staring at Zhu Yuanzhang were also excited, their faces flushed, and they shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Long live your Majesty!"

At this time, no one would care that Zhu Yuanzhang was now the emperor emeritus rather than the emperor, not even Zhu Biao standing on the high platform opposite.

He himself was extremely excited at the moment.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it toward the sky.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

All the soldiers, including Master Hu, raised their weapons at the same time, pointing them diagonally toward the sky and yelled loudly.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live it, long, long live it!" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this inspiring shout, he pulled the reins of his horse, stopped in front of the crowd, and shouted loudly.

"Soldiers, we have all suffered under the former Yuan Dynasty and have made enemies with the former Yuan Dynasty!"

"Including us, who doesn't have an elder who died unjustly or starved to death in the previous Yuan Dynasty?"

"But now, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which we drove to the barbarian land, dares to come and plunder our food and fodder and ravage our people. Can we agree to this?"

All the Tiger Guards shouted loudly: "No!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously: "That's right! Not only can we not agree to it, but we must also remember one thing!"

"That is our Ming Dynasty. Our Han Dynasty is not something that these people can mess with!"

"Since they are not honest, we will defeat them and destroy their nation and race, so that they will not have the chance to harm our descendants in the future!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

"During this expedition, the emperor will be in charge of the rear. You don't have to worry about merit or pensions, because the emperor will take care of everything and will never let you down!"

"Secondly, in front of you, I, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, will personally accompany you. We will advance and retreat together!"

"Finally, our Lord Hai and Prime Minister Hu are here. Are they still worried that they won't have food to eat on the front line?"

"Therefore, this expedition to the north must lead to the destruction of the nation and the extermination of the race, and the conquest of the Wolf's Lair!"

Once these words were spoken, the goal of this expedition was completely set.

But none of the soldiers thought there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they felt it was natural.

Not to mention Prince Hu's endless supply of treasures, Prince Hu's ability to take away tens of thousands of dan of grain with a wave of his hand means there's no need to worry about baggage and food.

What did these cavalrymen fear the most in the past?
Isn’t it because the supply of food and fodder couldn’t keep up, which led to the exhaustion and death of the people and horses?
But now?

I’m afraid I won’t be able to have a full meal even if I go to the ends of the earth!
Since you no longer have to worry about food and drink, and you have armor and weapons that you could never even dream of in the past, what is there to be afraid of?

Not to mention, everyone still remembers what the Tiger Crouching Cannons are, which have been trained for several rounds recently but are now "hidden" by Master Hu.

With that thing, how can we deal with the cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?
We must win this battle!

After the oath-taking ceremony, the troops began to march northward from the parade ground.

To say goodbye, one must first go to Shuntian City, which is now Beiping. After arriving here, one will decide which route to take to track the enemy based on what is happening at the time.

At the same time, we must also do a good job in border defense.

It's impossible that these people go out to rob houses and end up having their own houses robbed.

For a moment, there were flags like forests, iron horses, and endless cavalrymen gathered into a torrent and then slowly drove north along the official road.

Zhu Biao, standing on the high platform, looked at the marching team for a long time without saying a word, the envy in his eyes was beyond words.

"Your Majesty, don't even think about it. If you really sneak out of the palace and chase them, do you believe that these two will turn around and come back immediately?"

Zhu Biao's joy and secret plans were poured cold water on by a word from Hu Xinyue, who was wearing a Nine-Phoenix Kingfisher Crown, a Nine-Phoenix Bridal Cap and a dragon robe.

Zhu Biao looked at his queen speechlessly, but saw that Hu Xinyue looked calm.

"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me? Don't you know the tempers of my father and dad?"

"If you don't follow the rules, they will be more unruly than anyone else!" (End of this chapter)
