Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 20 Linjiang Oath
On September 15st, the 1661th year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty ([-]), Bai Mingxiu, together with Jin Wang Li Dingguo and Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan, held an oath meeting by the riverside of Awa City, the capital of the Xuanwei Department of Myanmar.

On this day, the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army was officially established. More than 1 Ming army soldiers lined up along the river with majestic momentum.

Bai Mingxiu also thought that the system's father had photographed horses for several days, and finally asked the system to give him tens of thousands of military uniforms, but correspondingly, Bai Mingxiu also lost the opportunity to get a random gift package this month. Bai Mingxiu himself still thinks it is very worthwhile.

Because this military uniform is quite handsome, what is rare is that the designer has integrated the style of Ming Dynasty clothing, but it is no longer the inconvenient Ming Dynasty medieval style, but has a modern style.Its military uniforms are very similar to the military uniforms of later generations, with shirts and jackets, plus trousers.It's just that this outfit is a bit uncomfortable for Akito, but after putting it on, he naturally understands that this type of clothes is much easier to wear than the previous mandarin ducks and jackets.What's more, the fabric and tailoring are not comparable to ancient clothes.

Some details of these clothes still have a strong Ming Dynasty style. For example, the military uniforms of officers still have some totems such as auspicious clouds, scorching sun, tigers and leopards on the cuffs, chests, collars and other details.

Even the soldiers felt that the new clothes were more energetic. Many soldiers had been fighting for many years and their clothes were worn out.This time, the prince was given three military uniforms, complete with shoes and socks. They were much more comfortable to wear and looked energetic.

Even Li Dingguo changed into a majestic general's uniform, which looked more domineering than when he was wearing armor.

Bai Mingxiu was not wearing a military uniform. Instead, he was wearing a wide robe and long-sleeved crown prince uniform.He stood on the general ordering platform and saw tens of thousands of Ming soldiers uniformly looking at him without any trace of nervousness.Bai Mingxiu was an ordinary person in his previous life, but he was brave. It was as if he was born to prepare for this day. His ability to control the scene amazed everyone.

"Soldiers and soldiers, we are gathering here today for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army. The soldiers of our army have worked hard for decades and fought bloody battles. They dare not forget the ardent expectations of the people of the Central Plains and kill millions of Tartars as sacrifices to the late emperor. In the spirit of heaven. Burma today is the foundation of our progress. There are loyal King Jin and King Gongchang as our screens. I dare not forget the hatred of my country for a day, but I hope to fight together with all the soldiers and work together to kill the Tartars and rectify the world."

Bai Mingxiu held an Xiuchun saber in his hand, with the blade out of its sheath facing the sky, hissed, "I am here at Linjiang, and I swear that within three years, our Great Ming Restoration Army will be on the Yangtze River and overlook the south of the Yangtze River! Within five years! , My Ming Dynasty Restoration Army will climb the Yellow River and look at the Central Plains! You are all the robes of my Zhu Cixuan. Today, I joined our National Restoration Army. In this life, I will take the restoration of the country as my great cause. , will stay in the Shrine of Martyrs in Shuntian Mansion forever. The family members and grandchildren of the officers and men will be considered preferentially when they enter the court and become officials. A hundred mu of land is awarded, and those who have made great contributions will be awarded titles. If you die a loyal hero, your relatives will receive a hundred taels of pension, and you will still enjoy the grace of loyalty."

Bai Mingxiu finally announced: "The Ming Dynasty Restoration Army has been established since then. Brothers, please join me in shouting - Restoration! Restoration! Restoration!"

Bai Mingxiu's face was ferocious at the moment, even the veins on his neck were twitching violently. His young body, which hadn't been pulled out much, seemed to contain enormous power, which directly drove the blood of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers along Linjiang to boil.

People followed him and shouted "Restore the country! Restore the country! Restore the country!"

Bai Mingxiu only grasped two things, one is national feelings, almost none of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who fought in half of China here did not have this kind of simple national feelings. Be a minion of boar hide.Even if they don't know what poetry, books, rites and music are, or Chinese customs, they know that this civilization is defended by them and must not be tarnished.

The second thing Bai Mingxiu grasped was material benefits.After the mid-Ming Dynasty, the long-term emphasis on civil affairs over military affairs and internal strife within the court made the army lose its soul and motivation.Simply using spirit and integrity to appeal to these soldiers is useless, so Bai Mingxiu clearly proposed that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army should be listed in the Martyrs' Shrine and be enshrined with incense for generations; He and his relatives will enjoy better treatment, high pensions for those killed in battle, priority for surviving children to be hired as officials, free education for children, and a series of other benefits.Bai Mingxiu had already publicized these things in advance, which aroused strong repercussions in the army.

He even asked Wu Min to make tens of thousands of land deeds and distribute them to the soldiers. As long as they invaded Shuntian Mansion, these land deeds could be exchanged for hundreds of acres of fertile land.At that time, those who have made more contributions will be able to share more.

Bai Mingxiu also had some samples of medals made to show the soldiers.

"These medals will represent your contributions and sacrifices to the Ming Dynasty and the world. After the war is over, they will be distributed to each of you. It means that you are the heroes of Daming. You can pass this medal down from generation to generation for a hundred years. In the end, your descendants should also know that when the fate of the Ming Dynasty fell and the Han family was in turmoil, it was their ancestors who shed their blood to save the nation."

These things are nothing to the later generations, but to the people of this era, they feel extremely glorious and powerful.

Even Li Dingguo was fascinated by Bai Mingxiu's various "innovations".For these people in the feudal tradition, it is difficult for a king to be perfect, and there will always be various problems.However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already acted decisively and quite strategically at a young age, and he also knows how to outsmart Bai Wen in choosing soldiers and horses, and he can also win over the soldiers of the National Restoration Army.With such mentality and ability, Li Dingguo was even a little afraid.

"Probably only such a monstrous genius can save Daming from danger." Li Dingguo thought to himself.

At the end of summer in the 15th year of the Yongli calendar, tropical Myanmar is still hot and dry.However, on the banks of the Irrawaddy River, more than 1 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army who swore to pledge allegiance felt a sense of turmoil, tragedy and excitement.

Many people tried their best to keep their eyes wide open, hoping to remember all kinds of details of this occasion, including the military spirit of the king of Jin, who is tall and straight in military uniform, and the demeanor of thousands of soldiers working together.

Of course, what more people remember is the scene of the man who was still the prince at that time, blushing, looking at the north and shouting three times for the restoration of the country.Even with the passing of time, when those white-haired veterans of the Fuguo Army return to their hometown, they seem to be able to hear his hoarse shouts when they look at a statue carved from white marble.

It seems that since that time, no one has questioned whether he can really achieve the great cause of regaining the world, which has lost every inch of territory of Ming Dynasty.
