"We will be brothers again in the next life..."

The generals shouted in unison and spilled the wine in their glasses on the ground. Many soldiers had tears in their eyes. At this moment, they missed their brothers who had left forever!

Zhu Cixiang raised his glass again:

"The second glass of wine is to pay tribute to all the loyal souls of the heroes who died defending our China!"

The soldiers all threw their glasses of wine on the ground:

"Honor the loyal souls of Chinese heroes..."

The palace maid filled Zhu Cixi's glass again, and he raised his glass again and said:

"Soldiers, on behalf of my father and the tens of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty, I would like to thank you. Thank you for using your lives to protect the country. Thank you for using your lives to defend the integrity of the country. Thank you for using your lives to defend the dignity of the Ming Dynasty. Let's drink together!"

Zhu Cixiang did not replace the wine with tea this time, and drank the wine in one gulp.

All the generals raised their wine glasses with tears in their eyes. Many of them went from ordinary soldiers to generals of the Ming Dynasty in just two months.

All of this was given by the Crown Prince. Without the Crown Prince, their greatest luxury in life would be to have enough to eat.

"Thank you for long live my emperor, thank you for your royal highness's heavenly grace. I am willing to die to pieces for the sake of reviving the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will be victorious. Cheers!"

The generals raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

Zhu Cixiang put down his wine glass and made a seated gesture to the generals:

"Everyone sit down. Since the war, I have strictly prohibited the soldiers from drinking. Tonight, you can eat and drink regardless of your status. I heard that Huang Degong drinks a lot, so everyone should respect him, haha..."

Zhu Cixi couldn't help laughing after saying this.

"Ha ha……"

All the generals burst out laughing when they heard this. Huang Degong, who had always had a rough and arrogant personality, was a little embarrassed by the Crown Prince's words.

He raised his glass to the Crown Prince and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. A hero cannot stand up to a pack of wolves. How can I be their opponent? I would like to offer a toast to Your Highness. Thank you for your care and promotion. I will do it first as a token of respect!"

After speaking, Lao Huang drank it all in one gulp.

"Haha, Huang Degong, you are taking revenge on me. I have always been a drunkard. Other soldiers should not learn from Huang Degong!"

Zhu Cixiang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then patted his butt and left, giving the soldiers a chance to drink.

Seeing the crown prince leaving, Zhou Yuji and Sun Yingyuan looked at each other and stood up with a smile:

"Old Huang, I see you've made His Highness angry, so I'll punish myself with three cups of wine. Are you guys right?"

"Yes, Sir, please punish yourself with three drinks..."

Seeing Zhou Yuji taking the lead, the other soldiers immediately started to make a fuss.

Huang Degong pointed his big finger at Zhou Yuji and Sun Yingyuan and said with a smile:

"Okay, I will punish myself by drinking three glasses of wine. Otherwise, I will be sorry for you as a viscount. Don't forget that these two are also barons. All the nobles will drink three glasses of wine today!"

After Huang Degong said this, he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

Zhou Yuji and Sun Yingyuan wanted to bring down their good buddies, but they heard Huang Degong talking about the Baron.

Only then did they remember that they were all nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and they drank three glasses of wine happily.

I saw that the officers and soldiers of the National Defense Army were really regardless of their status. They were all playing, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing like a family.

Lu Xiangsheng and several general soldiers envied the harmonious atmosphere of the National Guard Army.

They all know very well that even though these generals currently have the same official positions as themselves.

But in a few years there will definitely be candidates for marquis and earl, and there may even be a duke.

Several people looked at each other and were about to toast to Huang Degong and others to get closer.

Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and others led the soldiers of the national defense army to pick up their wine glasses and walked up to Lu Xiangsheng and the others, who were as fierce as a tiger.

"Master Lu and several soldiers from King Qin are guests from afar. Let's have a drink with them!"

After the three of them said a word, the general of the Protecting Army immediately picked up his wine glass and came to toast. Several people hurriedly stood up and toasted with the general of the Protecting Army:

"Thank you very much, officers and soldiers of the National Defense Army. If you hadn't fought bravely to kill the enemy, it would have been very difficult for us, King Qin, to win the battle. Let's drink together..."

"cheers!"

After everyone toasted together, the generals of the National Defense Army once again targeted Huang Degong. They would definitely kill Huang Degong today.

Otherwise, Lao Huang will brag again in the future, saying that he has an invincible drinking capacity...

There was a carnival in the Huangji Palace, and the National Protectorate Army barracks were also celebrating.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites brought a large amount of wine and food to the victorious soldiers of the National Defense Army, and the entire capital of the Ming Dynasty was filled with joy.

…

In front of the window of a posthouse on Chang'an Street, stood a middle-aged scribe with a dignified appearance and a sad expression. This man was none other than Sun Chuanting, the famous governor of Shaanxi.

The last time I sent Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the rogue bandits, to the capital to offer prisoners, he was impeached by the official, and he has not yet left the capital.

After hearing that the crown prince led the national defense army to annihilate all Jiannu in the pass.

While Sun Chuanting was surprised, he was also happy that Ming Dynasty could have such a crown prince.

At the same time, he was also worried about not being able to return to Shaanxi to continue suppressing the bandits.

Sun Chuanting was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War in the 15th year of Chongzhen and Governor-General of Shaanxi.

The following year, he was promoted to Minister of War and led troops to suppress Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's civil uprising.

Due to the epidemic, there was a shortage of food and grass, and soldiers and ammunition were short of ammunition. The court urged the war, but had no choice but to go to war hastily.

Later, he was defeated and died in the battle at Tongguan, Shaanxi Province. His body was wrapped in horse leather. He was about 51 years old.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" states that "the Chuan court died, and the Ming Dynasty died."

"Bang bang..."

Just when Sun Chuanting was looking out the window in a daze, someone knocked on the door from outside. Only then did Sun Chuanting react from his thoughts, turned around, walked over and opened the door.

There were three people standing outside the door, a young man and two guards wearing flying fish uniforms. Sun Chuanting was suddenly stunned:

"I'm Sun Chuanting, may I ask what's going on with the three of you?"

The leading young man smiled slightly and said:

"Master Sun has been wronged, let's go in and talk!"

"please"

Sun Chuanting hurriedly stepped aside to let the three of them enter the room.

A Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniform said to Sun Chuanting:

"Master Sun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to visit you,"

"What?"

Sun Chuanting was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed:

"My grandson is here to pay homage to His Highness. I didn't know that His Highness was coming from afar, so I asked Your Highness to punish you!"

Zhu Cixiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to support this fierce man in the late Ming Dynasty:

"Sun Qing, please excuse me. I have come to discuss something with you today!"

Sun Chuanting hurriedly raised his hands and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness. I wonder what your Highness wants from me? As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Zhu Cixiang nodded and said:

"Sit down, I want to know what Sun Qing thinks of the current situation in Ming Dynasty. You must tell the truth without any scruples!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Sun Chuanting did not sit down. He thought for a moment and said with his hands in hand:

"Your Highness, I have told the truth. I hope your Highness will forgive me if I have been presumptuous!

When the established slaves rose up, they often invaded the border areas, when rogue bandits arose and spread cholera everywhere, and when officials in court were selfish and unobstructed in their speech, it was easy to control them.

The only stubborn problem of the Ming Dynasty was the greed of the gentry, nobles and clans, which led to serious land annexation.

If the land annexation problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, the refugees will suppress more and more bandits, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

I am definitely not just talking nonsense, the Ming Dynasty is really at a very dangerous moment.

I believe that Your Highness should know better than you what the crisis of the Ming Dynasty is, otherwise you would not ask this question!"
