The emperor’s personal army

Under the protection of the ceremonial guards, Chongzhen dismounted and climbed up the stairs to the city gate tower. Next to him, a young eunuch was holding a camera, which was always shining on his face.

Chen Ye was always one step behind him, changing into an ordinary Ming Dynasty Hanfu, which stood out among a group of eunuchs, sergeants, and cabinet ministers.

"Who is that person next to Your Majesty? Does anyone know him?"

"I don't know, Yibai, do you know?"

"I don't know him either. I haven't heard from the court that His Majesty Jun has been in contact with anyone. Wait, I suddenly know who it is."

Zhang Sizhi looked at Chen Ye strangely. He didn't know who this awesome-looking man was, but suddenly he thought of something and his expression changed.

Observing carefully, this young man has a strong build and fair skin. His eyes are full of curiosity and contempt.

He thought of a possibility, but he didn't dare to tell others, because if he told it, he would kill the Nine Clans.

Several young eunuchs ran along the city wall, hanging large Bluetooth speakers in the arrow holes and pointing them at the officers and soldiers below.

The ministers who followed Chongzhen didn't understand the meaning of such a display. You must know that there were no eunuchs and sergeants below to deliver the message. The emperor could not hear the words across this distance.

In the distance, there were four eunuchs, carrying huge pillars and walking tremblingly around the city wall.

"Your Majesty, as well as the shop owner, are all ready. Please give me a lecture."

Wang Chengen came over, bowed his head respectfully and said.

Chongzhen looked at Chen Ye who was standing aside. Chen Ye nodded and turned on the microphone. The small screen of the speaker showed that the Bluetooth connection was successful.

On the city wall, the eunuch tied the pillars and removed the fixing nails.

A scroll four meters long and wide slid down from the city. Chongzhen looked serious, and a divine light appeared behind him.

Several spotlights were shining on the city wall at the same time. In broad daylight, there were golden dragons looming around the city tower.

"Wow!!!"

"That's Your Majesty! That's Your Majesty!"

"Sir, is that your Majesty? He is so majestic and protected by a real dragon."

Among the tens of thousands of people in Jin Yiwei, not even one percent has actually seen Chongzhen. In the past, the emperor was just a simple name in their hearts, but now, through this big picture that has been painted over and over again.

For the first time, all the Jin Yiwei intuitively understood the title of emperor and the person who required their allegiance.

Coupled with this unprecedented method, the sacred and inviolable image of the emperor suddenly appeared on the city.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Outside the city, as the supervisors knelt down and shouted, the imperial guards also began to kneel down.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the tradition of kneeling all the time, it was still necessary to kneel down to perform a formal ceremony when meeting the emperor on formal occasions.

On the city wall, when they heard the roar of the mountains below, the ministers all changed their expressions, and then knelt down together.

These methods of Chongzhen made them feel that things were out of their control.

"Ahem! Hey, hey, hey!"

"All the beloved ministers, all the soldiers in royal robes, please stay safe."

Chongzhen took the microphone handed over by Chen Ye, tried the sound check, and then began to speak.

The huge sound caused tens of thousands of people below to scream in surprise.

"Your Majesty's dragon power is so mighty."

"This is a few miles away from Your Majesty. I can hear you clearly. Your Majesty is worthy of being the Emperor. His words are like thunder."

"Your Majesty is so powerful, if he yells outside the pass, wouldn't he be like Zhang Fei back then, who ordered the slaves to retreat?"

"Silence! Silence! Your Majesty is watching us from the archery tower. Let me tell you, if Your Majesty sees anyone in our camp being disrespectful, you will be killed."

Chongzhen waited until everyone below him became quiet before he began to speak formally.

"In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, the Yiluan Division was dismissed and replaced by the Jinyi Guards. The rank was from the third rank. The Jinyi Guards became a strong army in the capital from the moment they were established..."

The origin of the Jinyiwei is glorious and powerful. Listening to Chongzhen's speech, the Jinyiwei below also felt proud.

"What an honor it is to monitor the capital, protect the emperor, and investigate corruption? But are you worthy of this honor?

Since I came to the throne, I have been corrupt, cheated on my salary, and paid for my services... Do you still remember your responsibilities?"

After Chongzhen finished speaking, the momentum of the Jin Yiwei standing below gradually dropped, especially many Jin Yiwei who felt that the emperor was unreasonable.

Many of them had their food and wages deducted. The emperor kept saying that Jinyiwei wasted money and food, and his family was almost out of food. What else could they do if they didn't take advantage of the sidelines?

At this moment, in the direction of the city gate, carriages loaded with goods began to rush towards each thousand households in Jinyiwei.

"Look at you, do you still look like the emperor's own army? I know that some of you have been deprived of military pay all year round. I didn't know this before, but now I know.

I am announcing here today that I will send people to supervise the distribution of Jinyiwei’s future rations, and they must be distributed to everyone.

You are the soldiers of the Emperor, and no one can eat your food and wages. If anyone wants to eat your food and wages, I will be the first to chop him down. If you eat my food and wages, you must remember to swear allegiance to me to the death!

I tell you that as the emperor's personal army, the Jinyi Guards are loyal to me.

Jin Yiwei, each of you is rewarded with twenty taels of silver. If you see that there are no carriages in front of you, these are the rewards brought for you! You should train seriously and be loyal to your duties to repay the emperor's favor."

Fourteen carriages opened their tarpaulins at the same time, and the silver ingots fixed by transparent films were piled all over the carriages, which instantly caused a commotion among the Jin Yiwei.

As Chongzhen finished speaking, the eunuchs below who had received the news immediately knelt down and shouted in the direction of Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty is wise, the emperor is a soldier, and I swear allegiance to your Majesty to the death. Long live your Majesty!"

The Jin Yiwei also began to kneel down one by one, until the only voice left in the audience was the Jin Yiwei's shouts.

"The Emperor is a member of the army, and I will swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

"The Emperor is a member of the army, and I will swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

The shouting stopped, and Li Ruolian from afar came running over on horseback, holding a trumpet and shouting at Chongzhen.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, all the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard have been assembled. Please review them."

"Start reviewing!"

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the tower. Other ministers followed him downstairs. They had never seen all the procedures and could only follow closely.

Inside the city gate, the off-road vehicle was blocked with a cloth by the young eunuch. When he saw Chongzhen, he immediately opened the cloth and exposed the body.

"Where are these armored vehicles made?"

"Your Majesty is so extravagant that you use jade and crystal to make car windows?"

"I must report this. Your Majesty has always been frugal, and suddenly he became so extravagant. He must have been deceived by treacherous ministers and caused trouble by eunuchs."

When Wang Chengen who was following heard the news, he suddenly felt confused and gave the speaker a look.

How brave are you to dare to slander the Zajia family like this?

Chen Ye turned on his phone and unlocked the car in front of everyone.

Wang Chengen quickly stepped forward, opened the car door, and let Chongzhen and Chen Ye sit in the back seat. He then opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

"Master Zhang, how many horses does this iron cart need?"

"Liu Shangshu, I have never worked in the Ministry of Industry, so I don't know anything about these things. But looking at this guy, you need more than ten horses, right?"

Zhang Sizhi looked at Liu Zunxian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, speechlessly. You, the director of the Ministry of Industry, don’t even know about it. You ask me?
