Chapter 324 National Consciousness

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the melody of the national anthem sounded. It was originally an arrangement of military music, with impassioned tunes.

Mao Yuanyi raised it vigorously, and the flag in his hand jumped out, making a hunting sound in the spring breeze. A bright sun and moon flag, pulled by the captain of the Imperial Guard, slowly rose to the top of the flagpole along with the melody of the national anthem.

During this process, Cao Bianjiao glanced at the emperor on the general stage and saw him staring solemnly at the slowly rising flag and muttering something in his mouth. Subconsciously, Cao Bianjiao thought of the national anthem. With this connection, his mouth shape also matched.

This means that the emperor is singing the national anthem in a low voice. Involuntarily, Cao Bianjiao also sang along in a low voice. For some reason, at this moment, he seemed to find that there was power in the national anthem, and he couldn't help but become serious.

He is like this, and so are many New Army officers.

When the national flag was raised to the top of the flagpole and the melody of the national anthem ended, Emperor Chongzhen lowered his head, retracted his gaze from the flag, slowly glanced at the New Army soldiers below, and said loudly: "This is my national flag of the Ming Dynasty, which represents The Ming Dynasty represents me! Where the national flag is, it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the place protected by your soldiers. If the national flag is gone, it means the loss of the Ming Dynasty’s territory. As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, we will never allow such things to happen. Protect the national flag, It will be your future responsibility to protect the national flag with your life. When the flag is with the people, no one will lose the flag."

He did not expect that just by saying this once, these new army officers and soldiers would be able to carve the national flag into their bones. This would be a long-term process.

National consciousness is a slow process of cultivation! If the country achieves more achievements, it will speed up the process of recognition. Regarding this, I will definitely pay close attention to it and make them proud as Ming people!

Emperor Chongzhen thought, pointing to another slightly shorter empty flagpole next to the national flag and said: "I hope you will pass the assessment as soon as possible and meet the military combat standards I have set. By then, the military flag of your first division will be raised here. , a military flag that only belongs to your First Division. This military flag will carry the glory of your First Division since its establishment. It will be planted in the land of Liaodong and in the territory of any enemy of the Ming Dynasty. It will flutter in the wind and let your enemies see this. If you see this flag, you will be frightened by the news. Tell me, can you do it? Can you make your enemies frightened by the news when they see this flag?"

The sudden question suddenly interrupted the imagination of the new army soldiers that was unfolding with the emperor's description.

Cao Bianjiao thought that one day, as pointed by the banner, he would overcome all obstacles and be invincible, and all his enemies would be trampled under his feet. When he heard the news and fled, he couldn't help but feel excited and responded loudly: "Yes!"

Many new soldiers did not come to their senses, so Cao Bianjiao's loud response stood out. His voice alerted the surrounding colleagues, who all responded: "Yes!"

Emperor Chongzhen heard the sound and glanced at Cao Bianjiao, recognizing who he was. Thinking of what Wang Chengen mentioned in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly approve in his heart. However, at this time, he still had a serious expression and scanned the faces of all the New Army soldiers below. Listening to the sounds of "neng" coming one after another, he asked loudly: "I can't hear you clearly, please speak louder!"

"Yes!" This time, many soldiers responded in unison. But Emperor Chongzhen was still not satisfied, and still asked loudly and seriously: "You haven't eaten yet, are you? Man, please speak louder, and answer me louder!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The soldiers of the new army led by Cao Bianjiao were moved emotionally by the emperor and immediately responded loudly, each sound louder than the other. The sound shook the surrounding areas and echoed over the capital camp for a long time.

The Minister of War, Shen Yongmao, felt that the emperor was really playing a game. What was the use of shouting like this? However, Mangui and Zu Dashou, who were used to leading troops in battle, were secretly surprised when they saw it. The emperor just asked such a question, and the morale of the soldiers was so high. It is estimated that if the emperor goes to lead troops to fight, he will definitely not be bad!

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and finally showed a smile on his face and said: "Okay, when you are eligible to receive the flag of the First Division, I will personally come to present you with the flag! I hope you won't let me It’s been too long to wait. You must remember that you were originally the elite of the Ming Dynasty’s army!”

Upon hearing this, a sense of pride suddenly rose from the hearts of the new army soldiers: Yes, I was originally an elite, how could I keep the emperor waiting for too long!

With a smile on his face, Emperor Chongzhen slowly glanced at the faces of each of the new army officers and said loudly: "I will tell you one more thing. I will set up a junior military preparation hall in the capital, which will be temporarily controlled by the governor Tongzhi Zuqing. New Anyone with an official rank in the army will enter the Armed Forces Hall to learn the art of leading troops and defeating enemies. I hope you will work hard, strive to reach the top, and strive for a learning opportunity."

The emperor had already aroused the idea of ​​​​fighting for officers before. When he heard this, such thoughts were stimulated again. Everyone, including Cao Bianjiao, secretly made up his mind to perform well.

The spring sun moved slowly and was almost overhead, but Emperor Chongzhen had already said almost everything he needed to say. To be honest, it was a bit tiring to stand and talk alone for so long, but he was willing!

This new army placed his expectations on it and carried the exploration of the Ming Dynasty's military reform. This army must be a strong army; he must control this army. For this reason, he believes that no matter how much effort he puts in, it is worthy!

Emperor Chongzhen finally announced loudly: "Now, distribute military uniform fabrics."

Grace comes from above and is also a means to win people's hearts. After he announced loudly, rows of servants held the special fabrics and began to distribute them to the new army officers.

The military uniforms at this time were not uniformly issued by the imperial court. Instead, materials are released, and the families of soldiers cut and sew them based on their personal physical data. As for the extra fabric, it was naturally regarded as a welfare. This was one of the reasons why the families of the new army moved to the capital with the army.

Emperor Chongzhen waited until the distribution of military uniform fabrics was completed before he returned to the palace. As for the finishing work, he doesn't need to worry about it.

The moment he left, all the soldiers of the new army spontaneously knelt down on one knee to say goodbye: "Long live the emperor!"

The voice was loud, and the emotion contained in it was even heard by Emperor Chongzhen. This made him very satisfied, at least his hard work was not in vain. Haha, little ones, I will continue to visit you later!

Returning to the inner palace, after Emperor Chongzhen relaxed, he suddenly felt tired and hungry, and his voice even became a little hoarse. However, he had no regrets in his heart. After resting and eating, he completely relaxed. The thing I have been worrying about most these days is finally on track, and I have gained a lot of achievement points along the way. I can try my luck and add more people.
