Chapter Forty-Six: The Spirit of the Army
Liu Sheng felt that his pride was suddenly about to be activated, and an unprecedented desire grew.
He understood that this commotion was touched by countless soldiers.
After a while, Fu Rugui's gaze swept over, and more than 400 people fell silent again. Only Fu Rugui was left to sound softly: "The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay him as a countryman!" ”
"I, Qin Yiming, purged the household department, adjusted the tax rate, and merged the bamboo and wood pumping bureaus, and suffered countless slanders, malice, hostility and even blows. Fortunately, everything I did was right, it was the way of heaven, it was the way of heaven that should meet the needs of the people of the world, and it was a vast avenue that no one could stop. So I was fortunate to have the opportunity to get more encouragement and praise. But in my opinion, no one has been more slandered and malicious than you, these soldiers who defended their homes and countries and risked their lives. Fu Zhen said, I, Qin Yiming, treat my brothers as human beings, so you are willing to listen to my orders to fight to the death. But it's not enough, it's not enough. Because I know that you, as well as those warriors who take up swords to defend their homeland at the border passes, on the battlefield, and in places where countless people can't see, are the bravest and most outstanding men among the Ming compatriots! It is a hero who will be remembered forever! ”
"Therefore I will not lack your food and clothing, nor will I be short of your food. I want you to stand up in this Ming Dynasty and say that you are the heroes of this Ming Dynasty and the truly outstanding and brave people of the Ming Dynasty! ”
"And I, Qin Yiming, want to lead such a brave and outstanding army, so that you can obey my orders, follow me, and defend your family and country! Let all the robbers, Tartars, who invade our homes, rob our property, and take our wives and children captive, be killed! That's why the answer to the fight! ”
"Sir...... I don't understand a lot of things I said, but why it just makes my heart seem to be hot. Now, even if there are millions of thieves in front of me, I dare to kill them! Even if you die, you are willing! Countless old soldiers seemed to have something burning in their hearts.
Fu Zhen listened to Zhu Cihong's words, and felt that his eyes seemed to moisten instantly: "We ...... Is it a hero? Are the brilliant and brave people of the Ming Dynasty? ”
On the side, many ignorant and unclear things in Fu Rugui's heart suddenly became clear: "What are our identities?" What are you fighting for? It's not just about making a difference...... Qin Xia, Qin Yiming! Qin Yiming! Qin Yiming! Well said! ”
"Wufu is by no means a rude and contemptible bad sweat, we are brave and excellent people of the Ming Dynasty! He is a hero that will be remembered in the future! Fu Rugui shouted: "Swear to follow Yiming to the death!" Defend the family and the country, I am immortal! ”
"Swear to follow Yiming! Defend the family and the country, I am immortal! ”
"Swear to follow Yiming! Defend the family and the country, I am immortal! ”
……
Zhu Cihong looked at this scene, exhaled a long breath, and laughed softly.
"With such a warrior to follow, why worry about the great cause? This Ming will be immortal in my hands! ”
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong shouted: "No matter today or past, those heroes who have worked for me will be immortal!" ”
……
Old Seventeen stared at this scene solemnly, and countless feelings surged in his heart. He is used to fighting, he is used to parting with life and death, and he has seen through the sinister world. But no matter how he restrained himself, Zhu Cihong still puffed up the blood in his chest and stirred up the belief in his arms.
He looked at the countless soldiers with excited expressions, although most of them, including Lao Qi, couldn't understand what Zhu Cihong meant by many of his words.
But Zhu Cihong's straightforward and popular words still made them understand the essence of this!
Follow Zhu Cihong, have a full meal, warm clothes to wear, and be seen as a person and a hero!
Listen to Zhu Cihong's orders, protect the family and defend the country, you are a hero!
At this moment, what they don't realize is that something that has been sealed for a hundred years has broken ground here. The dignity of the samurai was finally solemnly cared for. And these samurai will burst out with infinite power in return with national warriors.
Albeit...... Most of them don't understand the deeper meaning.
But that doesn't stop them from doing it!
And Lao Seventeen finally understood a question that Fu Rugui couldn't understand in the past.
When Zhu Cihong hastily trained the guards in Beijing, he had to pay attention to other chores. Subsequently, the pro-guard and other 400 rebel soldiers were gathered in the rural farm of Jingshi to continue training.
Although Fu Rugui used the training methods he learned from Zhu Cihong, he fully supported and trusted him in terms of logistics and personnel. But Fu Rugui's training of soldiers is always a little worse.
Whether it is discipline or array, or even in terms of momentum, it is inferior to this pro-guard team in the hands of Old Seventeen in all aspects.
For this reason, Fu Rugui once thought that this was because there were too few veterans. Therefore, after obtaining Zhu Cihong's consent, he brought in Fu Zhen and other family soldiers as the backbone of veterans to accelerate the maturity of this new army.
Originally, Fu Rugui thought that with the addition of Fu Zhen and others, the personal guards around Lao Seventeen should be able to catch up with the gap, even if it was a little problem, it would not be a big problem.
Unexpectedly, when Fu Rugui saw Lao Seventeen take the personal guards into battle to fight, that kind of disciplined and fearless posture still made Fu Rugui really feel the real but incomprehensible gap.
And now, Old Seventeen has understood.
This gap does not lie in training, nor in the emphasis on discipline and the adequacy of logistics.
It was a spirit, a belief that was hidden deep in the hearts of all soldiers!
The pro-guards are the loyalty that Zhu Cihong was impressed after entering the danger himself. One hundred and twenty-one people, including the old seventeen, were willing to fight for Zhu Cihong without fear, and that was because these people had already been convinced by Zhu Cihong.
Their faith and military spirit have been condensed.
That's ...... Zhu Cihong's deeds have convinced them, and it is worth their lives to follow!
This is what the Pro-Guard believes: unconditional loyalty.
And now, not only the pro-guards, but also the more than 400 new soldiers and civilians, they have a new belief: to protect the family and defend the country!
Not only that, but they have one more reason to follow Zhu Cihong and be loyal and unrepentant.
That is, the recognition from Zhu Cihong!
Recognition for warriors, respect for samurai! Care for the dignity of military personnel!
Now, these people are no longer mercenaries who were simply tied up by Zhu Cihong with gold and silver. It is an army that has convictions, recognizes who it is, and understands why it is fighting.
An army with a military spirit!
Fu Rugui watched all this quietly, and didn't notice until Zhu Cihong left.
