The Breeze of Dusk with the Scent of Musk

Chapter 29: The Final Battle

In the Crown Kingdom in the Peace Province in the Jasmine City, Yueliang Jian, the Crown Prince of the deposed government, gathered and organized his army in preparation for the last battle to free the Jasmine City from the grip of Zixin Quon, the current emperor of the Chinese Empire. Yueliang began to march with his army toward the Jasmine City and when they were three days away from reaching the walls of the Jasmine City, Yueliang delivered a memorable and heroic speech to infuse his army with enthusiasm and boost their morale significantly. Here is the full speech that Yueliang delivered to his army:

Yueliang's Enthusiastic Sermon

"In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the One and Only True God, my Creator, the Creator of humankind and the Creator of everything. Peace be upon all the prophets and messengers of Allah. Peace be upon Prophet Muhammad, the final Prophet and Messenger of Allah who was sent with the message of Islam to all mankind. Dear Chinese valorous soldiers, we are three days away from the Jasmine City where we will fight our last battle with Zixin, the evil magician. Zixin has usurped the throne of the Chinese Empire and he used illicit means to reach where he is today. He killed thousands of innocents by his evil coup. Zixin betrayed the former emperor, Wei Jian, who entrusted him with serving the Chinese nation with sincerity and devotion. Zixin has used all the resources he had to serve his selfish interests and malicious desires. By his occult magic, he generated millions of counterfeit golden taels that later brought disasters to the Chinese economy as a whole. The last battle between our heroic army and Zixin's army represents the vengeance battle in which we will avenge all those wronged by the evil acts of Zixin and his soldiers and supporters. This battle is fateful and will shape the future of the Chinese Empire for decades or even centuries thereafter. We are the camp of Truth and Zixin and his army are the camp of falsehood. Allah mentioned in the Holy Koran that Truth will ultimately defeat falsehood. Allah said in the Holy Koran: "And say thou: the truth is come, and falsehood hath vanished; verily falsehood is ever vanishing. (81)" [THK: S 17: V 81] and Allah said in another verse: "Aye! We hurl truth against falsehood, so that it braineth it, and lo! it vanisheth; and to you be the woe for that which ye utter! (18)" [THK: S 21: V 18]. Dear Chinese valorous soldiers, you left your dear families, relatives and friends and joined this army because of your love for China and the Chinese nation in addition to your willingness to support justice and fight injustice; you placed the national interests of the Chinese nation above your own personal interests; you sacrificed your souls, money, comfort and peace for the sake of reviving the Chinese nation after it has been hurt by Zixin and his soldiers; you set a noble and supreme goal of freeing China from those villains who usurped the sovereignty illegally and compulsorily; you chose not to rest until you let truth and justice be victorious. Together we will free China from Zixin and his soldiers forever. History records the achievements of great leaders and soldiers and I am certain that your contribution to the freedom of China will be remembered generation after generation.

We chose to resist Zixin and his evil plans and bring peace, justice and truth to the Chinese Empire after they vanished during the reign of Zixin. If we die, we will die as heroes who defended the glorious land of China to the best of their abilities and sacrificed their souls for the sake of the freedom of China and the Chinese people. If we live, we will live with pride and dignity and guard the noble and supreme values of China. Defeat is not an option for us in this consequential battle; either we become the victor or we all die defending China and its exalted grains of sand. China deserves our sacrifices and we are all willing to irrigate China's land with our blood. Nations do not prosper and thrive by cowards but they prosper and thrive by heroes who spend all what they have for the sake of their patriotism. History does not remember cowards but it only remembers heroes and their sacrifices and achievements.
