On the fifth day of the first month of the fifth year of Ruiyuan, Beijing suburb of Beijing.

Zheng Xunrui stood on the wooden platform, looking at the many soldiers below, with mixed feelings, although this is not his first expedition, but this expedition has a special significance, since the crossing, he has been looking forward to this day.

Houjin or the viciousness of the Qing Dynasty, there are too many records in history, starting from Nurhachi, the massacre of the genocidal form of the Han people was carried out, after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the massacres abounded, the Datong Massacre, the Yangzhou Ten Days, the Guangzhou Massacre, etc., the words of keeping hair without hair and hair without hair are noisy and supreme, these anti-human massacres may not be anything in the war years, people have been numb, but for Zheng Xunrui, who has crossed, it is unforgettable.

Zheng Xunrui will never allow the massacre to occur, even if the Qing Dynasty is completely wiped out, he will never allow the imperial army to massacre the Manchus on a large scale, hundreds of years later, the Han and ethnic minorities are one family, and such killings, starting from the Ming Dynasty, are cannibalism.

Killing may make people succumb in a short period of time, but it will never really convince people, the historical Qing Dynasty, decades or even hundreds of years after the founding of the country, will still be panicked because of a third prince of Zhu.

The purpose of exterminating the Qing Dynasty and maintaining the rule of the Han people is not to highlight the Han nationalism, and Zheng Xunrui, who has crossed through, does not have such a narrow understanding, his purpose is to make the Ming Dynasty conform to the development of history and gradually become stronger, so that the Ming Dynasty and even China after a few hundred years will always stand on top of the world, so that China in the future will try to take as few or even no detours.

After closing his eyes, Zheng Xunrui can't fully grasp what direction the world will develop, but he can do it through his own efforts. Let the Ming Dynasty influence the world, this kind of reliance does not mainly rely on force, but on culture and finance, the trend of social development has long shown that the penetration of culture and the control of finance are more effective than force.

The army on the march reached 200,000 men. Zheng Xunrui personally served as the coach.

In this expedition, 5,000 artillery pieces were concentrated, including 2,000 Hongyi cannons, 3,000 Franc machines of various types, more than 200,000 Mauser guns, and hundreds of thousands to millions of shells and bullets.

After all these years of preparation, the Ming Dynasty has enough strength to support this battle.

Artillery deliveries had already begun in advance in the direction of the Liao River. Most of the soldiers also followed to the west of the Liao River to assemble, Zheng Xunrui set out from the capital this time, leading only 50,000 soldiers.

The climate in the north is gloomy and cold, with a north wind howling all the time, and in places such as Liaodong and Shenyang, the climate will be even more cold, but all this is not a problem, and the morale of the 200,000 soldiers is bursting. Adequate preparations have been made.

This expedition concentrated almost all the elites of the original Zheng family's army.

Zheng Jinhong, the cabinet minister and governor of the capital, was the deputy marshal, and the governors of the governor's office, Hong Xintao, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, and Wang Yun, became the commanders of the various armies. Wang Xiaoer, Wu Sangui, Su Congjin, He Renlong, Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and other generals were the deputy commanders of the armies from all walks of life, and all of them followed the battle.

Zhou Yanru, deputy assistant to the cabinet, Yang Tingshu, Xiong Wencan, ministers of the cabinet, and some officials of the household department and the military department also followed the battle.

Those who remained in the capital were the crown prince Zheng Hanyu, the first assistant of the cabinet Xu Wanghua, the cabinet ministers Gan Xuekuo and Wen Zhenheng, the secretary of the ministry Wenkun, and the governor of the Governor's Mansion Zheng Kaihua and so on.

Many soldiers had been standing in the cold wind for half an hour, and Zheng Xunrui was accompanied by cabinet ministers and governors. Many soldiers were inspected on horseback, and all of them were in good spirits.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will go on an expedition with you, and this expedition, we will completely exterminate the Great Qing Kingdom. Even if you chase to the ends of the earth, you will not let go of an enemy. ”

Zheng Xunrui's tone was very calm, but the penetrating and shocking power embodied made everyone's blood boil.

The emperor's personal expedition is a huge encouragement to the soldiers, and the former Zheng family army and the current Ming army were originally created by Zheng Xunrui himself, and in the army, Zheng Xunrui has incomparable prestige.

The emperor commanded such an army to fight, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Zheng Xunrui never liked to be wordy, and led the army countless times, saying less and doing more.

But this time, Zheng Xunrui decided to say more, because his heart was depressed with emotions for more than ten years.

"The Emperor Taiji of the Great Qing Kingdom has passed away, I was once sad to lose a rare opponent, my Ming Dynasty was plundered by the Great Qing Dynasty, every time I remember it, I have long sworn that the blood debt must be repaid in blood......"

"Whether it is Shenyang, or Salhu, it is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, the Manchus are also my Ming people, but there are some Manchus who are not willing to be lonely, so brave and ruthless, provoking trouble, vainly trying to overthrow my Ming Dynasty, occupying the Central Plains, causing Liaodong to fall into decades of war, causing the people in these places to fall into misery, such a situation must not continue, and there must be no ...... in the future."

"My Ming Dynasty, in recent decades, has encountered too many tribulations, rebellions, looting by the Eight Banners Army, natural disasters and man-made disasters, displacement of the people, some places are empty, and countless people have died, so that my Ming Dynasty has suffered a heavy blow, and the Ming Dynasty was almost ......destroyed."

"I hope that all of my people, whether you are officials, scholars, businessmen or ordinary people, will remember the lessons of these decades, I will not allow the repetition of the mistakes of the past, after the conquest of the Qing Dynasty, I will compile and print all these things into books, so that all schools everywhere can teach them, so that everyone knows about this painful past......"

"If my Ming Dynasty can't learn lessons from history and really summarize the reasons, it will inevitably be infighting again, fighting again, and decaying ......again."

"I have said a lot today, there are some things that do not need to be said here, today is a battlefield soldier, just talk about the conquest and fighting, but I still want to say this, that is, let you all remember, like guarding your own life, to protect the hard-won wealth and strength of my Ming Dynasty, where is there no country, we protect the Ming Dynasty, in fact, we are protecting our own homeland......"

"I still want to emphasize one point, although some Manchus in the Great Qing Kingdom have killed our Han people and committed unforgivable crimes, and these people will definitely be punished by me, but the butcher's knives of your soldiers must not be raised against all Manchus, I have already said before, Manchus are also my Ming people, and they are ...... like you."

"My Ming Dynasty can be a hundred rivers, and my Ming army can also be compatible with all corners of the world......"

It is not too much to describe Zheng Xunrui at this moment with the mountains looking up.

The cabinet ministers and some officials in the central part of the court all looked up at the emperor, and their eyes showed admiration and admiration.

The one who touched the most and deeply was the crown prince Zheng Hanyu.

Zheng Hanyu traveled outside for two years, and originally planned to come back early, but because of the postponement of the army's expedition, Zheng Hanyu still traveled around Beizhili for nearly two months, and did not return to the capital until the end of the fourth year of Ruiyuan.

Just returned to the capital, Zheng Hanyu spent two days in the Qianqing Palace, and reported to his father in detail about his travels, and then his father took out all the letters he had written in the past two years, and some of the contents of the letters made Zheng Hanyu, who was only sixteen years old, feel blushing, and his father was very happy, thinking that this was Zheng Hanyu's real progress.

Taking his father as an example, this is the goal that Zheng Hanyu has been striving for all his life, hearing and witnessing, Zheng Hanyu admires his father's strength and wisdom, and harmonious family relations, so that Zheng Hanyu can realize his father's painstaking efforts, and it is under this influence that Zheng Hanyu gradually formed his own understanding and deeply understood his father's many governing concepts.

Zheng Hanyu has gradually become mature, and his still childish face shows a little mature atmosphere.

This is the first time Zheng Hanyu has experienced the atmosphere of the battlefield soldiers, this atmosphere containing huge fighting spirit, so that he can't help but boil his blood, his father once told him that he will be like this in the future, standing at the top, facing many soldiers, encouraging soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy and defend the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zheng Hanyu still lacks sufficient experience in governing the country, he has successfully shaped his own character, tenacity, tenacity, refusal to admit defeat, kindness, and wisdom, all of which will be the guarantee for the continued prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

It's time to go.

The army was marched under the leadership of the deputy marshal Zheng Jinhong.

Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Hanyu stand together.

Looking at Zheng Hanyu, who has grown as tall as himself, Zheng Xunrui has mixed feelings, more than ten years of cultivation of symptomatic Hanyu, he has poured countless efforts, a year later, Zheng Hanyu is going to get married, this is another key step, he will ask Zheng Hanyu, in the future, the children should also be carefully cultivated, in this era, the inheritance of the throne cannot be changed in a short period of time, then the emperor, the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, has become a pivotal person, and can even influence the fate of a dynasty.

Zheng Xunrui didn't dare to guarantee what would happen in a few hundred years, but he had to firmly grasp the time of these decades.

"Prince, when you are in charge of the country, study a lot, I have told the cabinet ministers that some things should be decided by you, after careful consideration, make a decisive decision, the cabinet should not interfere too much, you have been out for two years, fully aware of the suffering of the people, as long as you have the people in your heart, and are familiar with the procedures of the provincial capital, state and county governments at all levels, you can confidently decide many things in the court......"

"I hope that when I return to the capital, I will see a more prosperous and prosperous scene." (To be continued.) )
