Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 117 Presenting the Flag
The sense of presence in front of the 45 troops under his command is also one of the reasons why Zhu Youjian goes north to Huai'an every once in a while.

Now, after ten months of training, he is already strong and muscular, tall and straight, and his thin physique obviously has a lot more muscles than before. In addition to his height, which is not short, he is even more majestic and a leader after wearing the military uniform .

Looking at the burning eyes of tens of thousands of people in front of him, Zhu Youjian knows that when the hormones of such people are high, it is the best time to get closer to others, and it is also the best time to give faith to others.

If you want to make people crazy, you must first make yourself crazy. People can only infect others when they are emotionally excited.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian now seemed to have turned himself into a country supremacy fanatic, and directly raised his arms and shouted: "Kill the captives!"

The officials behind Zhu Youjian also raised their arms and shouted.

And where did the hot-blooded young people below suffer from this kind of infection? Their hormones were already bursting, and they seemed to be bursting out like a volcanic eruption. Following Zhu Youjian and others, they raised their arms and shouted:

"Kill the prisoner!"

"Kill the prisoner!"

"Kill the prisoner!"

Whenever they meet colleagues in the army, raising their arms and shouting "Kill the prisoners", it has become a must-have etiquette for the Guards from then on.

At this time, the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]rd Army of the Guards had established the organization from the army to the army, and they were waiting for Zhu Youjian to present the general flag to the [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd Guards in person.

However, before presenting the flag, Zhu Youjian was still going to say a few words and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers! It's almost the Chinese New Year. I know you miss home very much, and I miss home just like you. Many of you even come from the north like me. You have lost your homeland and are sitting alone in this southern country. The northern Tartars killed our parents, occupied our fields and homes, and dug our ancestral graves!"

The words came from the mouth of the emperor Zhu Youjian, and the officers standing in front, mostly from the north, couldn't help but burst into tears.

The customs of the family and country of the Chinese Han people are particularly appropriate at the time of the return of spring at the end of Latvia.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian's words easily mobilized the emotions of the officers and soldiers in front of him.

"However, everyone, please rest assured, sooner or later, I will take you back to fight back! Fight the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and regain the northern capital!"

"Recover the northern capital!"

The officers and soldiers below shouted in unison.

"Burning with anger, leaning on the railing, the rain is resting. Looking up, looking up to the sky and screaming, the ambition is fierce. Back then, the Yue family army could clean up the world, but now our guards can also wipe out the Tartars. We must protect the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south. , and regain the old capital as soon as possible, and revive the unification of our Ming Dynasty!"

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he continued to raise his arms and shouted: "Heshan is unified!"

"The rivers and mountains are united!"

"The rivers and mountains are united!"

"The rivers and mountains are united!"

The enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers below is still high.

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with this, and he was in a good mood: "Give the flag, beat the drums, and let the commanders of the three armies come forward!"

finished.

It was the sound of rumbling drums, which rumbled like a gust of wind and rain across the vast school grounds.

"Zhou Yuji, chief officer and governor of the First Guards Army!"

Jin Xuan, director of the General Political Department of the Generalissimo's Mansion, sang loudly.

"To!"

Zhou Yuji, dressed in armor, appeared in front of the queue, staring at the mighty Emperor Zhu Youjian standing on the stage with burning eyes.

Zhou Yuji never thought that he would have today, would be remembered by His Majesty the Emperor, and was suddenly summoned to Beijing, followed His Majesty all the way south, and now leads the army alone. Forgive him for being a seven-foot iron-blooded man, but tears welled up in his eyes.

Zhu Youjian personally awarded Zhou Yuji the title of the First Army of the Royal Guards of the Ming Dynasty, and patted Zhou Yuji on the shoulder: "Defend the homeland and recover the northern capital!"

"Defend the homeland and recover the northern capital!"

Zhu Youjian only said this sentence, and he wanted to imprint this ideal deeply in the hearts of every guard officer and soldier through a series of programmed military etiquette.

Let them know what they are fighting for.

Zhou Yuji read along, and he also knew that his death would be considered a worthy death only if he sprinkled his blood on the Northern Expedition in the future.

"He Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Second Guards Army, and Li Mingrui, the governor!"

He Xin, the inspector of the imperial horse, and Li Mingrui, the governor of Huaiyang, also appeared in front of Zhu Youjian in uniform.

As a small eunuch in the palace in the past, He Xin never thought that he would become a general with 15 elite under his command today.

Li Mingrui also bit his lips tightly. He never thought that he could stand in front of His Majesty the Emperor with a sword. Suddenly, he was no longer a weak and deceitful scholar, but a general who shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Northern Expedition.

"He Xin, do you still remember the time when I was trapped in the Forbidden City with you? Remember, you are the person I trust the most, and you are my shadow. Anyone in the world can betray me, but you, He Xin, can't!"

As Zhu Youjian said, he straightened He Xin's skirts himself.

He Xin burst into tears, indeed as Zhu Youjian said, when he was waiting for Zhou Yuji's reinforcements to rush to King Qin in the capital, almost no one was still with Zhu Youjian, only He Xin waited for a group of eunuchs.

So far, those thirty or so eunuchs are still the backbone of the Guards.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this slave is just one of His Majesty's dogs, no, more loyal to His Majesty than a dog!"

He Xin didn't wait for Zhu Youjian to speak, he stood up abruptly, raised his arms and shouted: "Defend the homeland and restore the northern capital!"

"Li Mingrui, the right concubine, you were the first one to suggest that I move south. You are as the name suggests, wise and discerning. I will take you to control Huaiyang and Yangzhou, and I will rely on you as an important minister. In the future, my cabinet will be afraid. You have to do it too. Haosheng and He Xin should be good partners. Don’t learn from those dull people who discriminate against my slaves. Both the inner court and the outer court are my right and left siblings. If you want to be a minister in the world, you have to work hand in hand !"

Li Mingrui couldn't help getting excited, he didn't expect His Majesty to personally say that he would be the chief assistant of the cabinet in the future.

"I dare not forget Your Majesty's kindness even if I die, please rest assured, I will definitely manage the Second Guards Army with Eunuch He, and kill all the Tartars for Your Majesty, defend the homeland, and restore the northern capital!"

"Lead the flag!"

Zhu Youjian handed the flag of the Second Guards Army to the two as he spoke.

"Liu Fangliang, Commander-in-Chief of the Third Guards Army, Li Banghua, Governor!"

The tall and round Liu Fangliang stood up with his head held high. Behind him, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi and others had already fallen in love with this protective coach. They couldn't help but smile and looked at Liu Fangliang with excitement.

"Liu Dayaozi, remember with me, from now on, you are not from a bandit, nor are you a general of a bandit, you are a general of my guard army, and the army you lead is not for promotion and wealth, but for In this world, people who have suffered as much as you, Liu Fangliang, have made a bright future, and now, Jiannu Tartars are wantonly killing your brothers and sisters in your homeland, and they are waiting for you to go back and save them, you know!"

"Know!"

Liu Fangliang raised his arms and shouted loudly: "Defend the homeland and restore the northern capital!"

"Li Banghua, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are also close friends. You moved south all the way, and you shared weal and woe with me. I don't know how many days and nights we talked about this world. Now I hope you will abandon the lofty habit of literati and bureaucrats who don't get close to the common people. You must have a good relationship with Liu Fangliang!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have already made obeisance to General Liu and drank chicken blood wine!"

These words came out of the mouth of a former high-ranking official in the ministry hall, which made Zhu Youjian and the people present couldn't help laughing.
