Chapter 333 I am willing to die for His Highness the Crown Prince!
A loud noise, like the roar of a dragon, woke up the world.
Wild sand swept through the wind and clouds, and the dazzling light tore up the boundary between the vast sky and the desolate desert. What followed was a rumbling explosion. In the haze, it seemed as if the heaven was falling and the dusk of the gods.
After a long time, a huge mushroom cloud gradually spread in the sky.
"God's Coffin No. 1 detonated successfully."
Qi Jiguang turned his attention to Hu Zongxian, "General, do you know who named the God's Coffin No. 1?"
Hu Zongxian paused: "Is he also Emperor Shizuwu?"
"Yes."
Qi Jiguang said leisurely, "Emperor Shi Zuwu said that this is the coffin of the dust-covered gods. When it is detonated, it means that the gods have been buried in the coffin by the Ming Dynasty. As long as God's Coffin No. 1 is controlled by the imperial court,
At least we can strive for five hundred years of peace for the Ming Dynasty."
"The territory of the Ming Dynasty is too vast, and everyone in the world is a Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasties in some places may not really want to be a Ming Dynasty. As long as the imperial court holds the coffin of the gods, who would dare to make a mistake? As long as the imperial court holds the coffin, who would dare to make a mistake?
If we always control cutting-edge technology, the earth will always be a bright ball, and everyone will at least have the same tone."
"Perhaps sooner or later, Mingqiu will change its surname, but at least it won't be now. The imperial court has never thought of monopolizing technology, because this is perverse, but the imperial court has always stood on the top of the mountain of technology, waiting for future generations to pursue it."
"When the temple collapses, God is still God."
[This immersive simulation ends here.]
The scene in front of Zhu Di changed. After the darkness, his vision returned to Qianqing Palace.
He hasn't reacted yet.
What thing just exploded with a whoosh?
What were Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang talking about?
What is this big sun rising in the desert?
What is a mushroom cloud?
etc……
How does this thing feel? It's a bit like the intercontinental missile described by Xiaosi, but not so exaggerated?
Also, the intercontinental missile was created by the Qiming Empire, and the Coffin No. 1 was created by the Mingqiu. In terms of time period, the development time of the Qiming Empire was a hundred years longer than that of the Mingqiu, and it would be okay if the technology was more developed.
Understood.
Zhu Di is now confused: "So, what is the earth? Why did it become a bright ball later?"
…
"Ah Qiu!"
Zhu Gaojie sneezed, wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur cloak, and couldn't help but murmured, "The weather is getting colder and colder. If the temperature continues at this rate, the Ministry of Revenue will have to set aside enough money to distribute to the people in various provinces."
Cold clothes."
The winter in the north is extremely cold this year. I don’t know how many people will freeze to death. After Zhu Gaojiang reformed the official administration and tax system, although the people were well fed and their families were much richer, this was just that the average income was higher, and there was a lot more.
Some people are in dire straits.
No matter how awesome Zhu Gaojie is, he cannot build Ming Dynasty into an utopia in just a few years. This is unrealistic.
He was lost in thought, and the big white cat kept in the Wenhua Hall slowly walked over on cat steps, jumped into his arms, and rubbed Zhu Gaojie's chest with its hair.
Zhu Gaojie gently held the white cat's back and said to himself: "The lower level plans things, the middle level plans people, the upper level plans the situation, the planners integrate the upper level M&A, the middle level helps, the lower level everything is not for me, everything is for my use, and do things
It’s nothing but human nature, and the plan is nothing but human heart.”
He let out a long sigh, "The common people are at the bottom of the dynasty system. They only have the power to groan and get angry. They have no right to speak, make decisions, supervise, distribute benefits, or live and kill. Therefore, the upper class does not need to care about the reputation of the people.
Those who think about the people will always stay among the people, and those who are good at dealing with the people will be promoted step by step."
"In a hierarchical environment, the likes, dislikes and reputation of the people cannot determine the rise, fall, honor or disgrace of an official, but the favor of the superior or the highest power is the key to the rise, fall, honor or disgrace."
"Even if there is an eighteenth-level meritocracy system, it can only affect the general environment, but cannot replace it. It is so difficult to govern a country."
While Zhu Gaojie was playing with the cat, Aqi came over.
She bowed and said: "Your Highness, Chirong has arrived in Beijing."
Zhu Gaojie came back to his senses and felt much better after hearing this: "Okay, Chirong, we are an old friend. We said goodbye in Nanjing and haven't seen each other again. Where is he?"
Chi Rong, the former admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion, commanded the most elite cavalry army in the Ming Dynasty. Although he was a Mongolian, he was highly regarded by the old man.
During the Northern Expedition, Chirong served as deputy generals for Zhu Gaojie. They used 800 cavalry to hold the pass at Hulan Huwenwen and faced tens of thousands of elite cavalry from Oara. They were among the first to follow Zhu Gaojie.
Most of the old subordinates who followed Zhu Gaojie back then had a successful career, but Chirong was demoted instead of being promoted. He lost his post as admiral. He had been training troops in Songlu Mountain and was willing to serve as the commander of King Qi's guard. Later, Zhu Gaojiu was promoted to Crown Prince, and Qi was promoted to Prince Qi.
Wang Wei was abolished in name, but in fact it was renamed "Song Deer Guard", and Chirong became the commander of Song Deer Guard.
The Songlu Guards are called guards, but the regular number of guards is three thousand, but the Songlu Guards have expanded to tens of thousands. With the support of Zhu Gaojie, the Songlu Guards are well-equipped and well-trained under the management of Chi Rong.
Su can be said to be the most loyal and elite team member in Zhu Gaojie's hands.
The old man's health was getting worse and worse. In order to prevent unrest, Zhu Gaojie ordered the Songlu Guards to be transferred from Nanjing to Beijing. Having such an army at hand would make him feel more at ease.
"Then I'll give myself a day off today to check and accept what Chirong has done in the past few years."
Zhu Gaojiu put the big white cat in his arms onto the table, stood up and walked out of the hall with a happy mood, "Let's go to the military parade with me!"
Aqi followed closely behind.
…
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers gathered at the camp in the western suburbs of Beijing.
Unlike the sergeants of the three major battalions, although the equipment worn by these sergeants is also standard, it is very different from the conventional equipment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sergeants in this army are all wearing light armor, with short knives on their waists for close combat, and fire blunderbuss, suitable for long-distance combat. Most of them are infantry. They can be used in the barracks.
The only cavalry seen were sentry horses.
Tens of thousands of soldiers were gathered in the camp. Rows of sergeants stood side by side in silence. This was a silent army. There was no whispering or laughter. The only thing that could make them move was the general's order.
Chirong was sitting at the front of tens of thousands of soldiers. He closed his eyes lightly. He was a tall and battle-experienced man wearing armor. Just sitting there was like a mountain, not angry or imposing.
He was a cavalryman, but after training this infantry army according to Zhu Gaojie's training method, he suddenly felt that if it were the same number of cavalry, even an elite battalion of three thousand, they would not be able to face this infantry army.
No chance of winning.
Fireguns are consumed by long-distance attacks, and it is difficult for any army to rush to the front of the Truffle Guards under this tacit understanding of firing gunpowder. Even if they rush to the front of the Truffle Guards, they will be greeted by short knives suitable for close combat.
However, what truly gives this army its strong combat effectiveness is its strict discipline and common beliefs.
According to the military training methods left by Zhu Gaojie, Chi Rong carried out several years of unremitting brainwashing on the Songlu Guards... ahem, it was will training.
Every day I shout some slogans that make my blood boil. After I get tired of hearing them, the soldiers may feel that they are too unrealistic and unwilling to sacrifice their lives. Whoever is willing to sacrifice will be sacrificed. My life is the most important.
But if you are willing to provide them with military pay, cold clothes, and adequate food on time, provide pensions to the soldiers who died in the battle according to high standards and confirm that they can be distributed to the families of the soldiers, issue medals of honor to the soldiers who died in the battle, and permanently inscribe them in the local area.
on the Heroes Monument, and each soldier only needs to serve for ten years. After retirement, the court will issue retirement pay and solve follow-up work issues...
The soldiers will feel: The interests of the country are greater than anything else, and I am willing to be the first warrior to sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty!
The prince is really good!
How can the soldiers not be brave?
The cost of cultivating such a well-equipped and highly disciplined army is several times or even more than ten times that of an ordinary army. But Chirong thinks it is worth it, because the army trained by Zhu Gaojie has the combat power of an ordinary army.
Dozens of times or even a hundred times!
Chirong saw the figure approaching from a distance and stood up immediately.
The man was wearing a fox fur cloak and looked like a handsome young man. Even though he hadn't seen him for several years, Chirong recognized him at a glance.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the barracks also stood up.
Chi Rong raised his fist in front of his chest in a military salute and said loudly: "Commander Chi Rong of the Songlu Guards, come to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The chorus of tens of thousands of soldiers was like a tsunami, with great momentum: "Songlu Guards, see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness, may you be blessed!"
Its sound is like a continuous tidal wave, rolling in, like a natural thunder god beating a drum, causing turmoil in the wind and clouds, making people's hair stand on end and their liver and gallbladder broken. Just from this chorus and the military salute, it can be seen that this army is a well-trained army.
Su, the powerful tiger and leopard warrior!
Aqi, who was following Zhu Gaojie, couldn't help but be shocked. She had never seen such a uniform and high-morale army!
In her memory, wasn't the Songlu Mountain Guard a useless regiment that was rotten to the core? How could it be that in just a few years, it was as if it had been reborn?
Zhu Gaojie returned the military salute with a smile: "Hello, soldiers!"
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"
When the voice fell, the tens of thousands of Songlu Guard soldiers responded loudly: "I will die for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Damn, the treatment is so good, anyone else would be willing to die for Zhu Gaojie!
The Songlu Guard sergeants had seen many generals drawing big cakes for their soldiers, but this was the first time they could actually eat the big cakes. What's more, what Zhu Gaojie fed them was not cakes, but meat!
