Duan Zihao and Wang Baobao were relatively sensible. They had actually noticed the low morale in the army a long time ago, but since the leader Zhao Min didn't say anything, they naturally couldn't say anything either.
Now that Zhao Min has finally expressed her stance, they naturally have to respond at all costs.
The generals and generals present, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, saw that the two of them had expressed their opinions. If they did not say something, it would be too tactless.
Therefore, countless generals, both big and small, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to follow Your Majesty..."
The generals all knelt down, so it was naturally difficult for the remaining soldiers to stand.
In an instant, tens of thousands of soldiers knelt in front of Zhao Min.
…
In fact, Zhao Min is a very smart person, but she has always ignored a very serious problem, that is, she cares too much about the feelings of those soldiers at the bottom.
Mongolia, or the Yuan Dynasty, was a regime that moved from slavery to feudalism just over a hundred years ago. However, even this feudal system was still only a slave system in the Han lands and in the northern regions.
However, whether it was slavery or feudalism, the soldiers at the bottom didn't actually think much. They just thought about how to have enough food to eat.
Zhao Min is indeed a god in their hearts, but she is only a god in their hearts. As long as this god is still there, it is enough. As for who this god is on their side, they are too lazy to think about it. Even if they think about it, they may not be able to figure it out clearly.
The thoughts of these soldiers were still so simple. Zhao Min still gave them money and food as before, so they naturally felt that they should still fight for her as before.
As for the negative attitudes towards war that Zhao Min had seen before, most of them were just people who had been living a life of idleness and waiting to die in Zhigu Village for a year. If they wanted to get into the game all at once, they would definitely need a pre-war mobilization like today's.
…
Zhao Min used both reason and emotion to persuade Zhang Wuji, and spoke passionately for nearly half an hour. Since she had been with Zhang Wuji, her speaking skills had naturally improved significantly. In the half hour she spoke, there were hardly any repetitions in her words.
However, she may not know that among the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of her, not many people can fully understand the meaning of her words.
…
Half an hour later, seeing that the morale of the soldiers had been boosted, Zhao Min happily returned to her carriage.
Li Yao quickly handed her a water bag and said, "Sister, you speak so well, as if every word comes from the heart."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "At the beginning, I was very nervous, but as I spoke, I couldn't control myself."
"How about it, my ability to fool people is much better than before, isn't it?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "That's right. People say that birds of a feather flock together. It's just that my sister has been with Zhang Wuji for too long, and slowly, she has become as good at telling lies as him."
Zhao Min frowned slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, girl. What I said just now was not all nonsense."
…
After Zhao Min's pre-war mobilization, her army finally arrived at the city of Chuzhou in the afternoon of that day.
Chuzhou is a relatively large city. The city wall is about four meters high. It cannot be called magnificent, but it is not shabby either.
Zhao Min's journey south was relatively smooth, and today she finally faced her first decent challenge.
However, when she arrived at the foot of Chuzhou City, she found that the defenders on the city wall had already formed up, with golden flags waving. There were hundreds of flags and more than a dozen cannons on the small city wall. A layer of spiked fence was erected in a position that was easy to climb.
Zhao Min frowned. With such city defense, it seemed that Chuzhou could be considered a strong city.
On the top of Chuzhou City, a man in armor slowly stepped forward and said, "Zhao Min, do you know who I am?"
Zhao Min was stunned for a moment: "Zhu, you are Zhu Wenzhen, I didn't expect that you are here too."
Zhu Wenzhen laughed and said, "You woman, it's a good thing you were so slow to move. I just arrived in Chuzhou this morning. If I had been a step later, this broken city would have been in danger."
Zhao Min was startled: "What, you just came to Chuzhou this morning?"
Zhu Wenzhen laughed and said, "Of course not. Ten days ago, I was fighting the Japanese in Fujian."
"I don't know how many horses died along the way, but I finally caught up with you."
Zhao Min snorted coldly: "Hmph, Zhu family boy, do you think you can stop me?"
Zhu Wen Zheng said: "I really have this confidence, but it's strange, aren't you and Zhang Wuji enemies? It would be fine if you surrendered and lost your virginity, but why did you give birth to someone else's child?"
"It would have been fine if you had just given birth to a child, but you actually tricked these idiots in your family into helping Zhang Wuji beat my uncle. You and Zhang Wuji were having a happy affair, but ended up causing such a mess."
"I really don't know what you are thinking."
Afterwards, Zhu Wenzhen shouted to the soldiers behind Zhao Min: "Soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, do you have any fucking brains? Zhang Wuji destroyed your Yuan Dynasty, and your empress only cared about having fun with Zhang Wuji. But now, she wants you to die. This is too unfair."
"Nowadays, Zhang Wuji's Beijing City is very empty. If you choose to advance eastward, I am afraid you can recapture Beijing without bloodshed. Then you can change the name back to Dadu. Isn't this the restoration of the country? It's such a simple thing."
"A woman who lost her virginity to the enemy and gave birth to his child is now leading you here to die. You idiots, can you use your brains? If you win this battle, Zhao Min can continue to accompany Zhang Wuji in his romantic affairs, but what benefits can you get?"
"Don't be silly, withdraw your troops. The Yuan Dynasty has already fallen. Don't do things to please Zhang Wuji."
"In the final analysis, these things are just what Zhao Min wants to do. It would be too unfair if you die under the city of Chuzhou."
Zhao Min, who was standing under the city, was so humiliated that her face turned red: "Zhu Wenzhen, you, you are shameless."
Zhu Wenzhen responded: "I am shameless? No matter how shameless I am, I will not fool my soldiers into fighting indiscriminately. My soldiers know why they are fighting, but do your soldiers know why they are fighting?"
"After all, it's just a crap you did to please Zhang Wuji. Fortunately, I had the idea of taking you as my concubine back then. Now it seems that a shameless woman like you is not worthy of entering the door of my Zhu family."
