Ninety-two The Last Glory of the Empire

Song Yingchang's illness was still not cured and could not follow the army. He could only stay in Liaoyang to recuperate. When the condition slowed down, he set off for Zhenjiang Fort and then crossed the river to Yizhou to do coordination work. This time, Song Yingchang did not intend to interfere with the command of the front line. He wanted to let Xiao Ruxun play his role. He only cared about the big strategy.

So at this moment, the highest commander in the army was undoubtedly Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun stood on the stage, looking at the endless dark army below the stage, and his heart was surging.

This is the first time, in the true sense, I was leading an army to fight. I remember that the same was true before the ancient generals led their army to fight. Before every famous battle in history, the same was true for the weak commander, right?

How did Zhou Yu inspire the morale of the army before the Battle of Chibi? How did Liu Laozhi inspire the morale of the army before the Battle of Feishui? How did Ran Min inspire the morale of the army before the attack on Hu? How did Chen Qingzhi inspire the morale of the army before the Northern Expedition? How did Li Shimin inspire the morale of the army before the 100,000 cavalry of Li Shimin?

Today, Xiao Ruxun stood in the same position as them. Perhaps time has changed, perhaps things have changed, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the proud heart belonging to the glorious China of the Celestial Empire.

The arrogant heart that is absolutely not allowed to be provoked by foreigners!

"About a thousand years ago, the third year of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the third year of Longshuo, was also in today's Korea. At that time, it was the land of Silla Baekje. The Japanese country was arrogant and sent 40,000 troops to occupy the land of Korea and provoke the Tang Dynasty. The Tang general Liu Rengui defeated the Japanese invaders and the Baekje coalition at Baijiangkou with 13,000 troops, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and laid a thousand-year victory in one battle. Since then, the Japanese country has served the Tang Dynasty carefully and sent Tang envoys to China to study several times, and finally got rid of ignorance and roughly understood etiquette.

Japan has gone from being a foreign barbarian to being a polite etiquette. Without China, he would not even think about it. It was like a child who learned from famous teachers and was able to understand the classics and principles. This is the master's merit. If Japan has today, without China, it will not be able to do it for another thousand years! And now, this eagle-seeing wolf-gu feels that his wings are hard and his wings are full, so he has thoughts that he should not have."

As he said that, Xiao Ruxun raised a piece of paper.

"This is a letter written by the Japanese to North Korea. They said that their country has been unified, the people are rich, the people are comfortable, and the national power has never been seen. They have made such achievements and found it very remarkable. So they decided to lead an army of 200,000 to North Korea and enter our Ming Dynasty to fully transform our Ming Dynasty.

This means that the Japanese emperor said that the people of the Ming Dynasty, I asked the people of the 100 trillion yuan to take off their clothes and wear furs; I asked the country of etiquette to wear hair and go to the left, eat meat and drink blood; I asked the country of heaven and earth to go everywhere! I asked the descendants of Yan and Huang to forget their ancestors and be the Japanese!! It is presumptuous!!!”

Xiao Ruxun tore the Japanese letter in his hand to pieces, threw it aside, pulled out his own sword of war, and shouted loudly: "The country of the Celestial Empire, a country of etiquette, can we not allow such arrogant and arrogant people who forget their ancestors to be so humiliated!! In this small country, only one million people and only one hundred thousand soldiers, dare to speak wildly, and want to annex my China China and make our people fully transform their customs! For thousands of years from ancient times to the present, only this country dares to be so arrogant! He actually wants our country of the Celestial Empire to transform its customs!

All the soldiers, can you tolerate such barbarians insulting me in the Ming Dynasty? Can you tolerate such arrogant people showing off their might and barking in front of me?! Can you tolerate my wife and children wearing their hair and eating raw meat and drinking blood without knowing the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy?!"

The soldiers in the audience had already been aroused by these words and their eyes were red and angry. After Xiao Ruxun was provoked again, he could no longer help but feel angry. He raised the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly: "No! No! No! No! No!"

If you let these barbarian countries see them all, how can our country be ashamed of the heavenly kingdom?!

Xiao Ruxun said this a bit exaggeratedly. Japan's current population must be at least tens of millions, and there are still 2 million young men who have met. However, Japan is also a farming country. It is impossible for the whole people to be soldiers like the nomadic people in the grassland. Agricultural production will consume a large number of young and middle-aged people, and the population that can be used to fight wars is very limited.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ruxun plans to keep all the young and strong Japanese population in North Korea. To destroy a country, it is a good way, or even a shortcut.

Such slandering Japan inspires morale and making the soldiers full of indignation will be of great benefit to the war ahead.

Li Rusong, who had not shown up for a long time, was standing under the station with his helmet and armor on his back. He could hear Xiao Ruxun's words clearly without conveying them through the people below. To be honest, even if he had a deep hatred with Xiao Ruxun, at this moment, he felt that the Japanese might not be too arrogant. A small island country dared to swallow the Ming Dynasty with the ambition. How arrogant and hateful is this?

Before the decisive battle with Xiao Ruxun, he didn't mind cutting off a few more Japanese heads to vent his anger. This anger cannot be vented to Xiao Ruxun now, but he has to find a place to vent.

He looked up at Xiao Ruxun, who was full of energy, and the desire in his eyes became more and more obvious.

If it weren't for Xiao Ruxun, he would have been standing on the stage now...

Xiao Ruxun arranged the cavalry as the reserve army to organize the formation of the central army, which clearly meant to give Li Rusong a small suit. None of the generals in the army raised objections. This made Li Rusong's heart become more and more intense. He really wanted to win a battle and breathe a sigh of relief to himself, viciously mocking the southern barbarians.

The regional color and interest of him are too heavy, so it is difficult for him to obtain the morale of the army except the Liaodong Army.

This is one of the reasons why Xiao Ruxun can get the support of the army but he cannot get it.

Xiao Ruxun's Ningxia headquarters has only 5,000 people, not many, and he needs to rely on everyone's strength. He also generously changed everyone's clothes, gave new equipment to new ones, and personally guided many soldiers to practice tactics. He was gentle in private, without any sense of domineering people, and was very encouraging in the military. Li Rusong was really too arrogant, exactly the same as Huo Qubing.

On the stage, Xiao Ruxun was full of energy, pointed his sword forward, shouting loudly: "It's there! The arrogant people of the little ones are there! Use the swords, guns, swords and halberds in your hands to maintain the majesty of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom! The Great Mingtian Army! Attack!!!"

“Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh !!!”

The flags fluttered under the stage, and the sound was soaring for miles, shaking the world.

On October 25, the 20th year of Wanli, the Ming army's eastern expedition army crossed the river southward and began to march!

This is the second time in history that the imperial army crossed the Yalu River with great pride. In the original history, this is also the last glory of the empire. However, this time, Xiao Ruxun will never let this glory become the last masterpiece.
