Moreover, Zhu Hongyu was also using these surrendered Eight Banners soldiers to show off his military force nakedly.
The cotton armor was because Zhu Hongyu was too lazy to change it for them, and the reason why they still had their braids was because of Zhu Hongyu's bad taste.
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty used the tough method of keeping their hair but not their hair, and keeping their hair but not their hair, they forced the Han people all over the world to grow money rat tails.
Then there is no need to cut the braids of the Eight Banners soldiers who were captured and surrendered!
If they don’t make enough contributions, future generations will not be able to cut off the money rat tail that symbolizes shame!
What Zhu Hongyu wants to see is the scene in the future where these Eight Banners people cry for their father and mother and beg to cut their pigtails.
Naturally, they have to pay for the evil done by their ancestors.
The next person to appear was the cavalry team of the Ming Army.
Only light cavalry with light armor and heavy cavalry with both men and horses appeared one after another.
It completely ignited the atmosphere in Nanjing!
In this era when the Great Merciful and Compassionate Gatling Bodhisattva was still in the lifetime series, the cavalry was the absolute master on the battlefield.
Especially those heavy cavalry!
Regardless of whether they are practical or not, as long as they appear on the battlefield, the sense of oppression they can bring to the enemy is unimaginable.
Rows of cavalry are coming!
The array was neat, and the vests and armor worn by the people reflected the dazzling sunlight.
The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground brings a great sense of oppression!
Behind these cavalry came artillery pieces of various sizes.
From the smallest caliber Franco machine gun to various field artillery of different calibers, such as five-pound cannons, ten-pound cannons, etc.!
Later, there will be 20 kilograms and 30 kilograms of heavy siege artillery, naval guns equipped on warships, etc.!
Even fifty kilograms of coastal defense artillery was pulled out, pulled by a few bullocks, placed on a dedicated artillery cart, and pulled past Zhengyang Gate.
Thicker than a human waist, the cannon body shimmered with metallic luster, and the black muzzle made the onlookers scream in surprise.
Behind these artillery pieces, rockets were also pulled out and unveiled!
Rockets of different calibers were loaded on the launch vehicle, then pulled out, and an image was flashed in front of everyone.
Further back, there are hot air balloons floating high in the sky!
That’s right, it’s a hot air balloon!
The Ming Dynasty has already produced hot air balloons and put them into the battlefield several times, using them as a weapon to detect local trends.
The hot air balloon is floating in the sky. In order to prevent the hot air balloon from floating away, there is a rope holding it under the ball.
The other end of the rope is tied to the shaft of a cart!
Such a large cart needs several oxen to pull it forward slowly.
Very heavy!
Boom! Boom!
The war drums continued to sound, and the dull war drums were full of rhythm.
The inspiring war song was sounded!
"The clouds follow the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame and fortune follow the dust and dirt!"
"..."
Singing the Red Scarf Army's war hymn every time in a big scene has become a repertoire of the Ming Dynasty, and there are basically no exceptions.
Because back then, the Ming army sang the "War Hymn of the Red Scarf Army" to drive out the Tartars and restore China!
Teams of elite Ming troops sang passionate war songs and accepted the review of their Emperor!
Almost all of the glances looking at Zhu Hongyu were filled with enthusiasm and admiration!
It can be said that almost all members of the Liberation Army are Zhu Hongyu's fans and die-hard loyalists.
Zhu Hongyu looked at the reviewing troops of the Liberation Army passing by below, with a heartfelt smile on his face.
These loyal soldiers are what makes him dare to be emperor!
Zhu Hongyu's purpose for this military parade is very simple, which is to show off his military force.
After he ascends the throne, local reforms will begin!
By then, his drastic reforms will offend many vested interests.
Zhu Hongyu wanted the place to be obedient and did not want to fall into the water and die in an unknown manner like Zhengde Tianqi and other emperors.
He is about to show off his strength.
Let everyone in the world know who holds the knife handle!
Whoever makes me desperate, I will flip the table and send troops to take control of the place. Stop playing!
Of course, he himself wanted to watch a Ming Dynasty version of the military parade, which was also one of the most important reasons.
Zhu Hongyu now has the qualifications to be willful!
…
After the military parade ended, Zhu Hongyu led the team back to the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace.
For the first time as emperor, he sat on the dragon throne in Fengtian Hall.
At this time, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sunset on the horizon was already red.
It was dark in the huge Fengtian Hall.
With a click, the sound of the switch closing sounded, and the lights in Fengtian Hall were lit.
The electric lamps emitted soft light, and the light instantly filled the entire hall.
Illuminating Fengtian Temple like daylight!
The important civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty were divided into two groups and saluted Zhu Hongyu who was sitting on the dragon chair.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Seeing this scene, Zhu Hongyu just nodded slightly.
"Everyone loves you!"
After everyone stood up from the ground, Zhu Hongyu began to issue the imperial edict after he ascended the throne.
The first thing is to change the yuan!
But this year cannot be changed. According to convention, this year will still be the 20th year of the Eternal Calendar, and starting from next year will be the first year of liberation.
Moreover, Zhu Hongyu also ordered people to calculate the Yellow Emperor calendar and locate the first year of the Chinese calendar based on the year when the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of China, was born, and so on.
Name it Kaiyuan Calendar to correspond to the Western Era.
Calculated, this year should be 4363 in the Kaiyuan calendar, the 20th year of the Yongli calendar in the Ming Dynasty, corresponding to 1666 in the Western calendar.
The second thing is to canonize the queen, the concubines in the harem, and to confer the title of emperor for five generations of Zhu Hongyu's ancestors.
Li Lingxiu was canonized as queen without any exception.
Except for Zheng Xuan, who was canonized as a noble concubine, all the other girls are all concubines.
The third thing is that Zhu Hongyu ordered the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty to be knighted.
Almost everyone's title has been improved to a certain extent!
Either the title will be promoted, or the title will be changed from a noble title to a hereditary and irreplaceable noble title.
Almost everyone, including everyone, received rewards.
Even Zheng Chenggong, who had reached the top of his title and was truly untitled, was rewarded with a large amount of gold and silver fields by Zhu Hongyu, as well as the honor of being three orphans and three nobles.
In short, it embodies a principle!
There are benefits to hanging out with me!
All glory and wealth are available!
After Zheng Chenggong heard the award from Zhu Hongyu, his face was filled with a smile that could not be concealed.
He felt that his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and all his efforts to save the world after Jiashen had been rewarded!
However, as soon as Zhu Hongyu's voice fell, Zheng Chenggong petitioned Zhu Hongyu to beg for his body and return him to his hometown to be raised.
Zheng Chenggong knew that he was no longer suitable to stay in the court!
With his title and honor, if he continued to stay in the court, he would be forcing Zhu Hongyu to kill the hero.
