Chapter 143 Military Aircraft Department of the Ming Cabinet

The car drove forward at a constant speed under the driving of Wang Chengen, and companies lined up neatly along the road. The sergeant at the front was excited when he saw it, while the sergeant behind could only look at the back of his head.

Fan Fucui looked at the soldiers on both sides wearing uniforms and large caps, the shining cap badges revealing luxury, and her heart was full of turmoil.

Everyone in the capital did not expect that the new army, which had been closed for a month, would actually look like this.

Just the food and drink expenses for so many people and those exquisite clothes cannot be purchased with tens of thousands taels.

This reminded him of the royal merchant house in the capital. He had contributed a few hundred taels in the past, so counting, he also contributed to this army?

With this aura and neat military appearance, he could assert without hesitation that 20,000 people could easily break through the original 100,000-strong Beijing camp.

But now there is no Jingying in the capital. The construction corps represented by the Jingying happily took the road construction subsidies and opened roads from the capital to Yutian.

Moreover, Chen Ye and Chongzhen are still planning to divide their troops. Anyway, they are just opening dirt roads. Tens of thousands of people are building roads every day in addition to preparing for meals, and gradually marching towards the capitals of Zhili Prefectures, so fast that they don't need to do anything.

The vehicle stopped steadily in front of the red carpet on the steps. After Wang Chengen turned off the engine, he protected Chongzhen from getting out of the vehicle. Behind the vehicle were the royal students who followed on horseback.

There were a total of thirty royal cadets. After dismounting, they each held six folded regimental flags and different military ranks in small boxes.

After lining up in order, they followed Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, who were also wearing military uniforms, and stepped onto the steps in order.

As for Chen Ye, he didn't have much of a role in conferring the title today. He was mainly the one coordinating the video. He chose the right angle, so he didn't follow along.

Fan Fucui set up a table and began to have people grind ink to prepare records in classical Chinese.

The 2nd Regiment, 1st Battalion and 1st Company, located on the left side of the high platform, are the clearest positions in the entire camp to see the high platform.

Xing Feiyue stared feverishly at Chongzhen, who was adjusting his military uniform after getting out of the car. For them, this was their food, clothing, and parents, and the source of their superior life.

On the stage, six regiment-level officers, as well as Li Ruolian and Sun Chuanting, a total of eight people stood at the front, standing straight.

Behind them is a row of staff officers and representatives at all levels.

The moment Chongzhen first stepped onto the steps, everyone stood firm together and shouted in unison.

"salute!"

The headset on the collar transmits the sound to the radio station, and then from the radio station to the entire camp.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

Amidst the neat sound of brushing, starting from Sun Chuanting and the others, all the soldiers in the audience, like waves, stretched out their hands to salute the military salute from front to back.

As Chongzhen walked up the steps step by step, more and more soldiers who faced the steps and raised their heads in salute saw their emperor.

At this moment, Chongzhen felt his blood boiling.

This feeling was just like the feeling he had when he first ascended the throne, and also the same feeling he felt when he inspected the royal guards.

The feeling of being in control of the whole place made Chongzhen feel the long-lost excitement and weakness in his legs.

Until he was completely standing on the stage, with the eyes of 20,000 people watching him from 360 degrees, Chongzhen also put his feet together.

"brush."

Saluting the seven chief officers directly opposite him, Chongzhen did not lower his hands, but made a standard turn to the right, facing the thousands of soldiers looking at him from the audience on the right.

"Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"

All the sergeants were even more excited when Chongzhen was carrying his luggage, and they shouted in unison.

After Chongzhen turned his body four times and turned his body back, the whole audience cheered "Long Live Long Live" in unison.

Chen Ye stood outside the car and couldn't help but want to plug his ears. However, he glanced at the fanatical soldiers behind him and felt that if he plugged his ears, they would have to fight him one on one.

The kind where one person singles out a company.

"The ceremony is over!

quiet!

Please give me a lecture by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire!"

Wang Chengen had already begun to develop when he was purifying, so his voice was not affected. Holding the microphone, he used a rich voice to start the first step of today's ceremony.

Chongzhen took out the manuscript and started from the original intention of establishing the Royal Army, explaining that the Royal Army's military pay came from his small treasury, and then talked about the bright future of the Royal Army.

After the speech, it was finally time for the investiture ceremony that everyone had been waiting for.

Under the gaze of Wan Jun, Sun Chuanting walked up to Chongzhen and stood at attention.

An imperial student carried a tray and walked between the two of them.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor, Grand Bachelor of Dongge of the Ming Empire, Governor of the Royal Army of the Ming Empire, and Chief of General Staff of the Royal Army Group.

Sun Chuanting, reporting to you!

Long live His Majesty the Ming Emperor! Long live the Ming Empire!"

"Sun Aiqing is exempt from the gift."

After Chongzhen returned the greeting, Wang Chengen began to read the manuscript aside.

"Sun Chuanting, after being a military general, was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, proficient in riding and archery, well versed in the art of war, familiar with the Five Classics, and had great success and fame.

As a government, the place is stable, honest and diligent, as a general, take the lead, calm the rebellion in an instant, in the ninth year of Chongzhen...

It was personally reviewed and approved by the Director of the Military Aircraft Department of the Cabinet of the Ming Empire, the Grand Marshal of the Royal Army of the Ming Empire, and the Emperor of the Ming Empire Zhu Youjian.

The current governor of the Royal Army of the Ming Empire, Sun Chuanting, was awarded the rank of Major General of the Royal Army of the Ming Empire."

After listening to the introduction to Sun Chuanting, everyone below was convinced of Sun Chuanting's conferment. After all, there were not many civil servants like him.

Under neat applause, Chongzhen picked up the epaulette from the tray. Between two gold leaves, there was a shining golden traditional Chinese character, and underneath the plain character was a gold star.

"Sun Aiqing, I hope you will work harder and learn from Lu Qing's thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. You must be able to govern the country with literary skills, secure the country with military force, and make clear rewards and punishments.

I believe that you can become the best undefeated general in our Ming Dynasty! You can also become the best minister in governing the country in our Ming Dynasty!"

Listening to Chongzhen's words, I felt him carefully fastening the epaulettes on himself, affixing the armbands representing the Ming Royal Army, and carefully arranging the ribbons.

Sun Chuanting's face turned red. This kind of closeness was a sure blow to the strict hierarchical system that had existed for thousands of years.

The emperor of a country arranges his own clothes himself, which also leaves his imprint deep in his heart.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take the lead and bring peace to the Ming Dynasty forever!"

"Open eternal peace!"

"Open eternal peace!"

The people below shouted in unison, and the waves of their voices were heard louder than the others.

Chongzhen waved his hand and pressed it down. Sun Chuanting returned to his original position and Li Ruolian stepped forward.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty, and the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Ruolian, are reporting to you..."

By the time Li Ruolian got to this point, his title had been passed by two levels.

As the emperor's personal army, the Jinyiwei were weak in front of the Royal Army at this time. Li Ruolian only achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Looking at the lieutenant colonel rank on the tray, Li Ruolian, who knew the military rank, was slightly distracted and disappointed.

Although he could tell from the fact that Sun Chuanting was only a major general, he definitely couldn't get a general, but he could at least get a senior colonel? This jump was two levels away, so he couldn't help but lose.

The other six regiment-level officers have not changed. Chen Ye has already vaccinated them. Is there any difference among the generals?

"Li Aiqing, the reason why I only awarded you the rank of lieutenant colonel is because you have not accumulated enough experience in the Royal Army.

Your experience is only to lead the Royal Guards, which is far from enough, because the Royal Army is a completely reborn army.

So I will save your general star for you, but I believe that as long as you are loyal to me, study hard, and have the courage to kill the enemy.

When you complete the reorganization of the Jin Yiwei and rotate them into the camp for training, I will definitely have you among the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Tell me, do you have confidence?"

"I report to Your Majesty that I am confident! The Jinyi Guardsmen are the Emperor's personal army, and they will surely become the best Royal Army in the future!

I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death! I must study hard, be brave enough to kill the enemy, and let the Jin Yiwei use my strength to prove to Your Majesty that I am a qualified Royal Army general."

The soldiers below listened to the conversation above and were filled with admiration.

No one would have thought that Li Ruolian, who was Chongzhen's closest confidant, could not even become a general.

This also increases the gold content of military ranks, which is much higher than the gold content of various generals in the Ming Dynasty now.

Then came Li Banghua, Meng An, Huang Degong, Wang Jiayan, Ma Xianglin, and Cao Bianjiao. Six of them were respectively awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel and the position of full regimental commander.

The six royal cadets who assisted them were awarded the rank of major and the position of regimental staff chief. Although their military rank was low but their status was high, no one dared to look down upon them.

Then there are representatives at all levels, from battalion, company, platoon, squad, and finally to ordinary non-commissioned officers.

There were more than thirty people awarded titles, and each person had to have a conversation before being awarded the title.

Chongzhen went from excitement at the beginning, to numbness later, to stiffness at the end.

He never imagined that the investiture ceremony would be so tiring, and all the conversations would make his voice hoarse.

Wang Chengen, who had been in charge of reading the manuscript, had been replaced by a royal student, and he was speechless.

"With the approval of His Majesty, the Royal Army Officer Corps of the Ming Empire was officially appointed as the Royal Army Training Corps of the Ming Empire, attached to the first division, named Red Dragon Regiment, and its commander, Cao Bianjiao."

"With the approval of His Majesty, the first regiment is officially appointed as the First Regiment of the First Division of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, named Qinglong Regiment, and its leader is Li Banghua."
