At this time, there were huge crowds of people outside the Martyrs' Shrine.

From royal family members and nobles to common people in the capital, everyone came to watch the fun.

After all, this is the first oath-taking ceremony held after the Martyrs' Shrine was built.

In order to maintain order at the scene, the police officers of Shuntian Prefecture, the Five Cities Military Division, the Patrol Battalion, the Beijing Camp, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the East Factory Guards were all dispatched.

There are numerous names engraved on the stone tablets in the Martyrs' Shrine.

In addition to the soldiers and civilians who died in the defense of the capital, there were also many heroes who died in the suppression of bandits.

Not all soldiers who died in battle can be enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine. The Ministry of War has set specific standards.

Chongzhen stood in front of the stone tablet, looking at the densely packed names, filled with emotion.

Please don't talk about becoming a marquis, for the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.

This is true for individuals and for countries as well.

For the stability of the country, countless martyrs fought bravely and died.

"Your Majesty, the time has come!" Wang Chengen walked to Chongzhen and reminded him in a low voice.

Chongzhen looked serious and turned around and walked outside the Martyrs' Shrine.

Outside, flags were flying everywhere, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp held their heads high and lined up in three columns.

boom!

The sound of cannon fire rang out not far away.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp moved after hearing the sound of artillery fire.

The cavalry team was the first to move out. They maintained a constant speed, held their swords high in the air, and walked slowly in front of Chongzhen.

When his eyes met Chongzhen's, the leading general shouted: "The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

The inspiring voice coming from the Martyrs' Shrine instantly ignited the crowd nearby.

"The Ming army is mighty!" The people watching outside shouted.

They are happy, proud and proud from the bottom of their hearts.

Next came the artillery.

Countless red cannons were fixed on sports cars and slowly moved past, towed by mules, horses and other livestock.

The wheels made a rumbling sound as they pressed against the ground, which was frightening.

Finally, there is the infantry composed of the elite troops of the Beijing Camp.

They wore Ming helmets and iron armor, held spears and swords, and had bird guns with bayonets, and marched in neat steps from far to near.

The military parade ended with a declaration of military might.

After waiting for a while, the official of the Imperial Observatory who was guarding the clepsydra shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived!"

The young eunuch next to him immediately waved the command flag.
