The tens of thousands of people watching the ceremony even forgot to cheer in this scene. This made no noise in front of Chengtian Gate. Only the footsteps of those five hundred people, like one person, were tapping everyone's hearts!
"good!"
I don¡¯t know who shouted, and the whole square suddenly burst into excitement!
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people, infantry formations walked through Chengtian Gate one after another, constantly igniting everyone's emotions!
When only the infantry of the Imperial Alliance Army appeared, people felt somewhat disharmonious!
Because the infantry of the Imperial Alliance Army composed of Japanese people really had a problem with height. Their height was generally less than five feet (one meter six). In addition, the arrangement needed to be neat and beautiful, so the height of the infantry square formation of the Imperial Alliance Army was set at About four feet eight inches!
Such short infantrymen already feel awkward, and the matchlock guns they use cannot have bayonets, so they can only salute with their guns raised, which is almost boring to watch!
But the people of the Ming Dynasty were kind-hearted after all, not to mention that in front of the emperor, they naturally did not dare to make mistakes, so they still gave out mountains of applause!
After hearing the cheers of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who were still a little nervous suddenly became more confident and shouted "board" even louder!
When the last infantry formation passed through Chaotianmen, this grand military parade also came to an end!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That?Zhu Youxiao?announced to the world on the spot that during the military parade, the people of the Ming Dynasty would be exempted from taxes for one year. Naturally, this only included the taxes for farmers farming, and merchants still had to pay commercial taxes!
Since he got rich, Zhu Youxiao has changed the law to reduce and reduce farmers' taxes. Whether it is marrying a wife or having a son, in short, he will reduce taxes as long as there is a happy event for the royal family!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Zhu Youxiao has reduced the Ming Dynasty tax for ten years until the Apocalypse, this is a unique thing in the Central Plains Dynasty!
"If other emperors had done this, I am afraid that the imperial court would have gone bankrupt long ago, but Zhu Youxiao was an emperor who had a way to make money, so even if he exempted and exempted taxes so unscrupulously, the Ming Empire's finances were still stable!
Today¡¯s Ming Dynasty is extremely wealthy. It spends more than 10 million taels on military and civil affairs every year, but there is still a surplus. This is something that has never happened in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
After the military parade, Zhu Youxiao asked Fang Congzhe and Lao Wang An to take the officials to the Baohe Hall to rest. According to the procedure, Zhu Youxiao was going to have a banquet for the ministers at the Baohe Hall in the evening!
Zhu Youxiao himself put on a bright yellow military uniform, and headed towards Tianshou Mountain under the escort of Long Ya's personal guards!
The reason why Zhu Youxiao wanted to go to Tianshou Mountain was because at the western foot of Tanyu Ridge in Tianshou Mountain, a monument was erected on the site where Zhu Youxiao's mausoleum was originally supposed to be built!
That monument is the "Loyalty Monument" that Zhu Youxiao ordered to build in his mausoleum!
"The Monument of Loyalty and Martyrs" is nine feet high with a five-level base. On the front of the stele are the four gilt characters "Loyalty and Martyrs for a Thousand Years", and on the back is the song "A Man's Journey" plagiarized by Zhu Youxiao!
In front of the "Loyalty Monument" is a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, with a mausoleum on each side!
The mausoleum tower is five feet high and has six octagonal floors. Inside it is the memorial to the Ming army soldiers who died in battle. Behind the two mausoleum towers is a large open space with green pines and cypresses planted on it, which looks extremely deep and peaceful!
About ten feet behind the monument is a five-level stone platform, but the stone platform does not seem to be completed, and it is tightly covered!
The reason why Zhu Youxiao came here is to take advantage of this great victory to pay homage to the fallen soldiers in this place!
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
Amidst the dull sound of cannons, Zhu Youxiao stood in front of the "Loyalty Martyrs Monument". Behind him in the square were the officers and soldiers who had just participated in the military parade!
On both sides of the square, there are tens of thousands of Taoist priests and monks performing rituals to save the souls of the fallen soldiers!
Although sufficient preparations were made to pacify Liaodong and Zhu Youxiao on the grassland this time, and the Ming army also crushed the Jurchens and Mongols in terms of equipment, as long as there is a war, it is impossible not to die!
What¡¯s more, in the three years since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he has always encouraged the Ming army to take the initiative. During this period, many Ming soldiers died in battle!
After Zhu Youxiao personally offered incense and saluted, he turned around and looked at the neatly arranged soldiers in the square. Zhu Youxiao shouted: "Since I came to the throne, including the Imperial Alliance Army, there have been 8,780 soldiers." Twelve soldiers died on the battlefield. Before that, heSince the founding of the Ming Dynasty, more than a million soldiers have died in fighting against foreigners and suppressing rebellions. Going back further, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there have been more than tens of millions of soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the survival of our Chinese nation. Today, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I call you The loyal heroes of China gather at this monument to enjoy the incense for eternity! "
"Long live (onboard)! Long live (onboard)! Long live (onboard)!"
The soldiers in the square raised their weapons and shouted heartlessly!
As soldiers, they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but they are afraid that even if they die, there will be no end. Now Zhu Youxiao has built this soul home for them in the name of the Ming Emperor, and these soldiers are grateful from the bottom of their hearts!
Even those foreign warriors felt that fighting for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor Zhu Youxiao was a very wise and glorious thing!
After the cheers stopped, Zhu Youxiao said again: "I once asked the soldiers of the Guards a question. I said, are you willing to follow me after death and join me in waving a hundred thousand banners to kill Yama! How did the brothers in the Guards respond?"
All the soldiers of the Guards shouted in unison: "I will follow His Majesty to the death, cleanse the underworld, and kill Yama with my own hands!"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly drew out the saber from his waist and shouted: "Today! I am here to ask all of you and all the warriors in the world who are willing to fight for me and for the Ming Dynasty. When my soul returns to the ground one day, will you still be willing to be like today? Follow me all the same!"
"I will follow His Majesty to the death!"
"I will follow His Majesty to the death!"
"I will follow His Majesty to the death!"
Zhu Youxiao pointed his saber at the stone platform behind the "Loyalty Monument" and said: "If you are willing to follow me, I will not abandon you. When I am buried there in a hundred years, there will be no jewelry or jade in my tomb. There will be a pair of armor, a saber, and a war horse, because even if I get to the underworld, I will not enjoy it, but will lead you to fight in the sky and on the earth. I and the soldiers will never die, and we will continue to fight!"
"The soul of the hero is immortal, and the fight will not stop!"
"The soul of the hero is immortal, and the fight will not stop!"
"The soul of the hero is immortal, and the fight will not stop!"
There was another loud shouting in the square. All the soldiers who were able to participate in this sacrificial ceremony felt sincerely that they were really lucky to be born at this time!
If they had not met a wise and mighty emperor like Zhu Youxiao, Qiu Ba would have been shattered into pieces and no one would have given them a second glance!
But now they have the respect of the emperor and the people of the world!
This invisible sense of honor is subtly instilled into the minds of all soldiers, so that they no longer just fight for promotion and wealth!
Using your life to defend the honor of the soldiers will gradually become the true belief of the Ming Dynasty soldiers! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
