My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 124
At the end of September in the first year of Jiajing, the first heaven-sacrifice ceremony was held since the new emperor ascended the throne.

The entire capital was enveloped in an atmosphere of warm joy.

Looking at the endless sight on the street, a piece of red cloth hanging on the head to cover the chest and back, wearing shackles and shackles on the body, being escorted to the southern suburbs by the Ming army wearing armor, the prisoners with withered faces and numb expressions , the people in Beijing looked excited.

The crowds on both sides supported the old and young, watching the grand prisoner presentation ceremony in front of them, which had not been seen since Hongwu and Yongle, and they were talking a lot.

"There must be more than [-] of these prisoners! They are all adult men——"

The Ming army really won a hearty victory in the southwest.

The Jurchen envoy from Haixi, Yibaha, who was conferred as the governor of Haixi by the Ming Dynasty, followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the envoys from various countries to meet the new emperor to watch the grand ceremony of worshiping heaven this year in the Ming Dynasty. The North Korean envoy beside him sighed.

Next to him, the Korean worker Cao Shenpan, who was ordered by the Korean King Li Yi to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, Jin Kecheng was not as hostile to the Jurchens in the jungles of the north as most Koreans were.

In order to resist the more ferocious group of plunderers among the Jurchen tribe, the King of Korea had already negotiated the opening of trade with these Haixi Jurchens who were also vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

But looking at the mighty and majestic Ming army in front of them, such a great victory, and the opponent was Luchuan Sijia, who was rumored to be famous for his elephant soldiers, which undoubtedly proved that the Ming army still maintained his tributary hegemony.

Even if there is some decline, it will still be a long time before the entire system collapses completely.

Jin Kecheng undoubtedly had more on his mind than simply thinking that my father was really strong.

The Kingdom of Korea and the Island of Japan face each other across the sea, and the domestic situation in Japan is currently in turmoil. Since the Onin Rebellion decades ago, the Ashikaga Shogunate was lucky enough to win, but it was no longer able to control the numerous feudal generals under its command.

The war of the Warring States Period has begun, and order is no longer there.

Moreover, recently there has been news in Japan that a demon king has come to the world. The demon star has fallen in Kyoto, and the world is about to be in chaos.

Can North Korea take advantage of the unrest in Japan and get a share of it?
Moreover, if the King of Korea can prove to the Ming Dynasty that if he supports his attack on the Japanese mainland, he will not only avoid the ancestral precept of the three countries not to be conquered by Ming Taizu, but also completely prevent the Ming Dynasty and the coast from fleeing the war in Japan. The pirates and Japanese pirates who were colluding with wealthy merchants smuggled themselves into the Ming Dynasty.

Once we get the support of the Ming court, the time for Korea to conquer Japan will be just around the corner!

Jin Kecheng was excited in his heart, but out of the corner of his eye he could not help but glance at the Japanese envoys on the other side who rushed to the Ming Dynasty like sharks smelling blood when they heard that the Ming court had increased the tribute trade.

There are three companies that claim to be able to carry out tribute trade with the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Japan. Hosokawa, Ouchi, and Shiba have sent people from all the famous Japanese companies. This does not include the fact that they are under the blockade of hostile forces at this time and are on the verge of collapse. , the Ashikaga Shogunate was simply unable to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty.

Although they all came from Japan, instead of hugging each other to keep warm, because of the war in Japan, each other's eyes turned red when they met. If they hadn't seen the Ming army's majestic momentum and didn't dare to make mistakes, they would have mentioned it long ago. Knives cut each other.

This situation in Japan is not unique.

Jin Kecheng turned his attention to the Southeast Asian mission on the left.

The two groups of people wearing Annan costumes are equally distinct.

The envoy of Annan's powerful minister Mo Dengyong, who controlled the north and served the puppet emperor Le Zhaozong.

The confrontation with representatives of warlords such as Zheng Sui and Nguyen Kinh who supported Le Bang in the south was also a tense scene.

This time I went to Beijing to ask the Ming Emperor to admit that he was the Annan orthodox.

Send out heavenly soldiers and blast all these traitors into the sky.

Just when everyone was harboring evil intentions, the high-pitched voices of officials from the Ministry of Rites were heard in the distance, spreading throughout the capital. "The southern suburbs of Tianzijia!"

"rise!"

As the forbidden bell on the Meridian Gate tower struck three times, the eunuch and eunuch, the eunuch in charge of rituals, swung his iron whip and slammed it against the stone bricks in front of the Jinshui Bridge.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites who had been waiting all over the capital stood up at the same time and led more than 2 serving officials in the capital to welcome him, shouting long live the mountain.

When the representatives from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office heard the tsunami-like roar of Long Live in the mountains of Beijing, they looked at each other and immediately signed the troop deployment documents that had been prepared for a long time.

The army immediately moved into action. The Ming army beat drums, the Ministry of Rites played music, the military chariots roared, and the sound of armor clashing was clear and bright, resounding throughout the capital.

The imperial guards were on horseback, holding iron chains on one end and tying up rows of prisoners preparing to sacrifice to heaven on the other end.

Leading them towards the southern suburbs, preparing to meet their final fate,

At this time, the central door of the Meridian Gate opened, and officials came out from the east and west side doors.

Welcome the emperor out of the palace with a majestic royal chariot.

The chief minister of the cabinet and the officials of the six departments were gifted by the emperor and had the honor of riding in the carriage through the main entrance together with the emperor and the queen mother.

The emperor, dressed in full regalia, surrounded by tall and handsome generals of the Han Dynasty, signaled to the officers, soldiers and people on both sides.

People were able to see the face of the Emperor, who was wearing a military uniform and had a majestic face. Behind him, the Queen Mother was sitting gracefully on the carriage, and the crowd burst into cheers again.

More than [-] soldiers of the Beijing army also saw this horse-mounted monarch who accompanied them in the southwest. These soldiers and generals who had just survived the blood sea of ​​corpses in the southwest and received various rewards such as money, titles, and official positions responded with even more fierceness. of celebration.

I don't know who started it first. The soldiers raised their shields and tapped their scabbards rhythmically.

Singing the popular song "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation", which praised the Ming Dynasty's peace in the world.

The music of the King of Qin is originally military music, and the style of music is mixed with the tones of the Qiuci Hu people. At this time, although there is no sound of the Tang Dynasty palace orchestra, silk and bamboo, it is sung by hundreds of thousands of soldiers who pacified the southwest, accompanied by the beating of war drums and shields. It looks more vigorous and majestic.

The melody is majestic, high-spirited and very appealing.

Accompanied by the sound of military drums and shields hitting the sky, the sound spread hundreds of miles, and the momentum was so powerful that it moved the heaven and the earth.

All the officials were very excited when they saw it.Even foreign tribute envoys couldn't help but dance along with them when they saw this.

But Lan Zhang, the Minister of Etiquette, who was responsible for welcoming the arrival, and Wang Shouren, the Minister of War beside him, looked at each other. They both shook their heads, saying that this unplanned scene was not arranged by them, and they did not know about it.

But he turned around and looked at the emperor quietly. Fortunately, the emperor was holding the carriage and laughing. He looked around and was very happy. Although the soldiers' singing skills were obviously not up to standard, the emperor was still moved by the simple and simple love and respect of the soldiers.

He held the King of Qin sword that he had fought with for many years, raised it high above his head, and sang along with the soldiers.

It is no secret that today when the emperor is seeking to destroy Da Da, he is pleased to obtain the King of Qin's Sword.

Seeing that the emperor responded to them, the soldiers sang even louder, and people were infected by the singing. Even the Imperial Army and the people joined in.
